Uniform switch-up

Japan left no worse for wear Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The disappearance of five of Team Japan’s national uniforms did little to quell the returning champions’ quest for the 2012 Women’s International Division title at the Canadian Open. The Japanese women’s fastpitch squad sealed the victory Monday night with a 9-6 win over Team USA at Softball City (see page 39). But there’s no question last week’s apparent theft of the attire threw the team a bit of a curve ball. According to officials, the team reported the uniforms – four red jerseys, four shorts and two warmup jackets, along with a pair of warmup pants belonging to the team’s head coach – stolen on Wednesday, July 4. They were taken from a South Surrey laundromat, where they had been dropped off for cleaning. The laundromat owner apparently remembers taking the jerseys out of the machine and placing them on a trolley. “From the information we can get, they were put in a plastic bag,” tournament chair Greg Timm said Tuesday. “We’re still hopeful that somebody may have taken them in error from the dry cleaner, and that somebody at some point in time is going to open their laundry bag… and say, ‘whoops, I got the wrong bag.’” see page 8

MP visits southeast Asia to learn more about human trafficking

Seeing for himself ‘moving’ Nick Greenizan & Dan Ferguson Staff Reporters

Shortly after he returned from a trip to Thailand and Cambodia to study human trafficking, South Surrey-White Rock–Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert changed the cover photo on his Facebook page. On Thursday, Hiebert replaced the carefully-lit and posed political portrait he was using with a snapshot of him smiling and high-fiving a fiveyear-old child inside the World Vision Bamboo Shoots Street Children Centre in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The centre takes its name from the Cambodian proverb that says “Children are the bamboo shoots who replace the bamboo stalks.” It is part of the Street Children Transformation Project operated by World Vision, providing street youth with food, shelter, vaccinations and schooling. The project also aims to reintegrate street youth with their families, or if

that is not an option, with foster families. Hiebert and four other Canadian MPs were able to see for themselves the kind of life the estimated 2,300 street children live during a trip sponsored by the charity to raise awareness about human trafficking and the worst forms of child labour. “We saw so much, and heard so many stories from people who had been trafficked,” Hiebert

told Peace Arch News Wednesday. “It was a big learning (experience) for me.” But as much as the trip was an eye-opener into some of the horrors facing the region, Hiebert said it was also inspiring to meet young children at the centre in Phnom Penh who were trying to better their lives. “It was phenomenal to see how these kids were growing, despite the serious challenges from which they were coming,” he said. “It was quite moving to see how these kids were thriving.” He noted the June 25–29 trip was at no cost to taxpayers. Hiebert – a member of the House of Commons Subcommittee on International Human Rights – added that the trip was important in light of the federal government’s June 6 announcement of a plan to combat human trafficking. see page 8

news Higher levels of government urged to take responsibility on district

Metro housing rentals frustrate Baldwin Jeff Nagel Black Press

Metro Vancouver is headed for tough decisions on whether the regional district eventually rebuilds its aging collection of affordablehousing complexes or decommissions them. The issue arose at a Metro council-ofcouncils meeting in Surrey Tuesday, where White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin noted there is no fund in place to cover the longterm capital replacement costs of Metro’s more than 50 rental-housing complexes. “They will have to be replaced,” he said. “So we’re going to have to come up with the money somewhere.” Although Baldwin suggested Metro try to “upload” responsibility for affordable housing back to the province, he noted Victoria

is “quite happy to have us do the job.” Baldwin said it is unlikely the region could tear down old complexes and sell the land or put it to other uses. “I suspect that would be politically unpalatable,” Baldwin said. “There would be a public outcry if we did.” The regional district owns and manages more than 3,600 units, some of which charge market rents that help subsidize other units reserved for low-income tenants who qualify for supplements from BC Housing. More than 10,000 residents are housed in Metro Vancouver Housing complexes. “It is not a municipal responsibility,” Baldwin said. “Somehow, we got into the business and we’ve never gotten out of it. In fact, we’ve got into it more and more.”

Traffic now rumbles by the former front entrance of Sukhi Rai’s farm-produce store, after 152 Street was rerouted and his land (below) expropriated.

Fresh-produce sales down after construction limits access to market

Family business derailed by overpass Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

The owner of a South Surrey farm-produce store says construction of a railway overpass has been bad for his business. Sukhi Rai’s family operates the Surrey Farms market at the corner of 152 Street and Colebrook Road where construction of a $41-million four-lane overpass is underway. When work began last year, traffic along 152 Street was shifted east along a newly-built side road that runs through what used to be the front parking lot of the store. As a result, customers can’t turn into the store at the intersection anymore. They have to use a less convenient exit south of the store, and the effect on the business bottom line has been dramatic, with sales falling to 10 per cent of their usual levels, Rai estimates.

Google Streetview image

“There is no more bottom line on it,” Rai says. “It’s all bottom.” He doesn’t have precise figures, but places the dollar loss in the “hundreds of thousands.” The 152 Street crossing is one of nine overpasses planned for the Roberts Bank rail corridor, the tracks that run through South Delta, Surrey, Langley and Abbotsford to connect the Deltaport deepwater container cargo terminal to Eastern Canadian and U.S. markets.

The overpasses are designed to reduce the number of level crossings and clear up traffic congestion caused when slow-moving freight trains block major roads. They are also expected to eliminate trains sounding their whistles at the current level crossings in South Surrey, something that has drawn noise complaints over the years from the residential areas nearest the tracks. see page 4

The parade is on. Despite predictions that this year’s Spirit of the Sea Festival would proceed without the Torchlight Parade, organizers now confirm the Saturday night affair will return to White Rock’s Marine Drive. But there will be changes, said festival director Matt Todd. “It’s going to be shorter and it’s going to be a half-hour later,” Todd said Wednesday. “I’d like to keep it to half an hour or less, try to distill it down to the very best.” Todd announced June 11 that serious consideration was being given to cancelling the evening procession. At the time, he cited a need to balance the concerns of merchants opposed to a Saturday night parade with the logistical nightmare of putting together a Sunday evening event on the first weekend in August; and a shortage of people to organize it. Todd said this week that while the suggestion to cancel didn’t spark a public outcry, the planning committee was swayed in part by the passion of those who argued the parade is an important part of the festival’s tradition. They also considered the potential difficulty of trying to bring back the event in future if it was called off for 2012. “There were people who felt… that if the festival were to skip a year, that it would lose momentum, and we’d possibly never be able to have a parade ever again,” he said. This year’s event is to get underway at 9:30 p.m. on Aug. 4, and follow its traditional route along Marine Drive. Todd expects it to feature about 20 entries – in past years, there have been four times as many – and noted volunteers are still “desperately” needed. To get involved, visit spiritofthesea.ca

Relocation dependent on ALC from page 3 On 152 Street, traffic is expected to double to nearly 40,000 vehicles a day by 2021, according to an estimate posted on the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor website. The City of Surrey is contributing $22.4 million of the $158 million cost of the four overpasses within the community (the others are located at 192 Street, 196 Street and 52 Avenue). When the Rai family lost their front parking lot to accommodate the side road, the expropriation deal with the city included an agreement to relocate their store to an easier-to-access site south of the overpass. But because the relocation involves protected farmlands in the Agricultural Land Reserve, the Agricultural Land Commission had to approve it. And that is where things get complicated, Rai says. “We’ve been going in circles and circles.” The regulations that are meant to preserve agricultural land require the Rais to restore the site of the current store so it can be used for crop production. Rai says that is going to be expensive because someone dumped tons of gravel where the store is before his family bought the farm in 1989. To dig up all the gravel and

The money they were paid for the loss of their parking lot and other property went to buy some unused farmland west of the overpass at 137A Street and Colebrook Road, which will cost them more money to upgrade for blueberry production. With store sales at a fraction of their former levels, only the Rai’s sideline construction business is keeping the family afloat financially, Rai says. “If it was only farming, it would be a problem,” Rai says. “We had to plough under 10 acres of straw-

berries (because sales are down).” Staying put isn’t an option. When the overpass is completed in 2014, the temporary side road that runs through the former parking lot will become a permanent link road that allows northbound traffic on 152 to turn east and west on Colebrook. “We don’t know what we’re going to do in the next couple of years here,” Rai says, adding the family has attempted to negotiate a compromise with the city and the ALC, without success. They are now consulting a lawyer about seeking compensation, Rai says. In response to a query from Peace Arch News, City of Surrey transport planning manager Philip Bellefontaine noted the ALC – not the city – has the final say over provincially-protected farmland. Brian Underhill, an executive director of the Agricultural Land Commission said a review of written records shows it was the city and the Rais who proposed remediation of the farm site, and the ALC simply endorsed it as “sensible.” Underhill said he could not find any record of the city or the Rai family advising the ALC about a problem with the cost. “They could certainly approach us,” Underhill said.

DRY GRAD 2012

City eyes Nov. 3 byelection A byelection to fill the seat left empty by the death last month of longtime White Rock Coun. Mary-Wade Anderson is tentatively set for Nov. 3. In a July 9 report to council, city clerk Tracey Arthur noted the date takes into account the legislated timeline to conduct an election. Necessary bylaws are to be presented to council at a special meeting July 16, for three readings, with final consideration scheduled for the July 23.

As the cost of a byelection was not included in the 2012 operating budget, “considerable thought” has been given to reducing the expense associated with holding it. Those opportunities, however, are “very few,” Arthur said. Suggestions include to reduce the number of voting locations – an action Arthur warned could draw criticism – and reuse supplies from the 2011 general election. Holding that vote cost the city $45,728.

The last byelection in White Rock was held in 2009 to replace then-councillor James Coleridge, whose 2008 re-election was overturned after a B.C. Supreme Court judge found he had lied to taxpayers. Grant Meyer, who topped the polls in the general election last fall, won that seat. Anderson, 84, died June 26, following complications from a heart-valve replacement procedure she underwent in March. – Tracy Holmes

A tribute to Mary-Wade Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Monday wasn’t the first time a politician’s seat has sat empty during a meeting at White Rock City Hall. But to those who have made a habit of attending council chambers over the years, the gap left by the absence of longtime councillor Mary-Wade Anderson was decidedly more pronounced this week. Anderson, who was re-elected last fall for a fifth term on council and always prided herself on never missing a meeting, died at age 84 in Peace Arch Hospital June 26, following complications of a heart-valve procedure she underwent in March. She was in her 13th year as a city councillor. In recent years, Anderson had sat three seats to the right of the mayor, and between Couns. Helen Fathers and Larry Robsinson.

more” to say about the popular senior who had a passion for the local hospital. In fact, many tributes were expected during a Celebration of Life held Wednesday afternoon (after Peace Arch News’ press deadline) at the White Rock Community Centre. Anderson’s grandson, Michael Montgomery, was among those anticipated to share a few words. Monday, Baldwin presented Montgomery with Anderson’s name plate, and predicted the service would be “a fitting way to say farewell to Mary-Wade and celebrate her life.”

A troubling lack of participation

he heat has arrived and with it, the season of festivals, sports championships and sundry summer events. For anyone itching to do more than that everpresent housework, there are options. But it seems a puzzling trend may be developing; one that counters the mantra of, if you build it, they will come. It could be seen as recently as Sunday, during the semifinal game of the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship. Team Canada and Team Japan went head-to-head, with Japan ultimately emerging victorious. Enthusiasts will remember how, in the heyday of the tournament’s predecessor, the Canada Cup, crowds would pack the outfield stands to take in such talent. These women are the best of the best in their field, after all. But Sunday, while those who came out were without question true and appreciative fans, the turnout was simply not what it should have – or could have – been. On the tournament’s heels, starting Friday, White Rock will welcome a deluge of cyclists for the annual Tour de White Rock. Again, exceptional talent is coming to town. Historically, the crowds for these events have been strong. Whether they will inspire the same, turnout this year remains to be seen. There may be many good reasons for diminishing crowds, though a lack of population growth in the area certainly isn’t one of them. Summer only lasts so long – and got off to a late start this year – and life, no question, is busier than it used to be. Perhaps it is all connected to the ongoing theme of participation, or lack thereof. It seems that while the majority will support the idea of having events for the community to enjoy, few actually step up to help make them happen, or ensure that they continue. Organizers of the Spirit of the Sea Festival – coming to White Rock’s waterfront Aug. 3-5 – are well-familiar with this phenomenon. With just three weeks to go before this year’s waterfront event, the volunteer count remains desperately low. Festival director Matt Todd estimates another 100 people are still needed to ensure a successful, safe weekend. Hopefully, the numbers will be met, and those scrambling to make the festival happen won’t end the weekend completely burnt out. And hopefully, things are not as they seem when it comes to participation as a whole. It would be a sad day, indeed, for residents and visitors alike, if that were the case.

Within my reach was a metal kettle, but I lacked any substantial metal with which to hit it. I rapidly settled on a rather punky piece of firewood at my feet. The first few strikes were rather mufled, given the mushy condition of the wood. The noise wouldn’t have scared a squirrel. Well, that caused me to bang away on that kettle with extreme motivation. The bear shifted its gaze to me, and watched with growing concern. I don’t think it was alarmed by the sound whatsoever. I’m sure it was looking at me and thinking, “That lunatic could hurt someone!” With a final, longing look at my (our) morning meal, he swung his bulk around, and with bruin-like decorum, ambled into the underbrush. It took another few minutes before I ceased my adrenaline-fuelled attack on the kettle, which had been reduced to a crumpled, compacted piece of tin. The deadwood was a shredded stump. My sleepy friends were by now sticking their heads out of tents and trucks, wondering what all the commotion was about… and when breakfast would be ready. I adopted two important principles that morning. Bacon and eggs take precedent over irrational fear. Bears are afraid of crazy people. Andrew Holota is the editor of the Abbotsford News.

SkyTrain beats Perhaps a LRT travel here return to bus Editor: Re: Surrey needs transit now, July 5 column. There’s no doubt Surrey needs rapid transit. Surrey is expected to face huge growth in next the 30 years. We also need to face a single, unchanging fact: there is no onesize-fits-all solution for rapid transit. A system that works somewhere in the world will not necessarily replicate with stunning success elsewhere. In a 2008 survey, 88 per cent of Surrey residents agreed “transit should be as convenient and attractive as driving a car on city roads.” But let’s look at what the City of Surrey is favouring: on-street LRT (light rail transit) that cannot and will not be any faster than Surrey’s drivers, with reliability and performance compromises at well. All told, the city is ignoring the expectations of 88 per cent of its population. Some people, it appears, don’t seem to be getting the message. The City of Portland has built an 84-km LRT system, MAX (Metropolitan Area Express). However, in spite of servicing a greater population base over a larger area of service, there are fewer weekday boardings on MAX than on SkyTrain’s Canada Line. Conclusion? In three years of operation, a single SkyTrain line spanning 20 kilometres has attracted more riders per year than an entire LRT system operating over four times the service area, and for more than 26 years. Portland had little to gain from LRT. The transit commute-to-work mode-share has remained at a standstill for more than 15 years, despite $4 billion in additional LRT-related investment. The service hasn’t made the overall system any stronger though; just recently, a cut in overall service came hand-inhand with fare increases and the removal of free downtown transit. Conversely, TransLink’s service hours actually increased during this same period. SkyTrain – as an attractive, profitable service – is part of what makes our system strong. The introduction of the Canada Line has tapped new potential riders and realized operational costsavings, allowing TransLink to boost revenue and facilitate improvements to service beyond Canada Line. As a result, TransLink maintains a much stronger regional transit network than Portland’s TriMet. One of the things columnist Frank Bucholtz is right about is that it would be difficult to come up with the funding for rapid transit service. When we do get it, I would rather see that funding go towards SkyTrain expansion. It’s simple: SkyTrain is a competitive rapid transit service that helps truly unlock the potential of Surrey as the region’s next business centre. We must not waste our limited resources on an LRT system that has a poor business case in benefiting our community. Daryl Dela Cruz, Surrey SkyTrain for Surrey Initiative

Editor: I recently tried to travel into Vancouver via transit outside of rush hour and was dismayed to find no available parking at both South Surrey or Bridgeport, so continued to my appointment in my car. I can only imagine the frustration each morning for riders who have to get to work. On my return, I wrote a letter to TransLink suggesting that since the park-and-rides were now overflowing and the Canada Line is often standing-room-only, would they consider reinstating bus service 351 a couple of times a day

to accommodate riders wishing to get into Vancouver on transit. I heard nothing from them, of course, but perhaps some mention in the newspaper might be noticed? Barbara Glynes, White Rock

More people, more taxes Editor: Re: Tower taxes no driving factor, July 5 letters.

With increased population we will require more police, firemen and schools, along with other services”. Richard Bradley, White Rock

Nobody anticipated the White Rock rail line carrying far more than a dozen trains a day and nobody foresaw regular 120-car coal trains carrying Wyoming coal to Westshore Terminals…a Coun. Larry Robinson

The City of White Rock’s investigation into security cameras on the waterfront is logical, say letter writers.

The times they are a-changing Editor: Re: Private rights vs. public wrongs, July 5 letters. Letter writers are opposed to waterfront cameras, based on their perceived loss of liberty and privacy. I would suggest that security of the person and deterrence to crime is a greater concern. Closed-circuit TV and other cameras have been among us for many years without any noticeable breach of privacy. Every person using a bank or ATM machine is on camera. Convenience stores, service stations and parking lots depend on cameras for safety and security. Even if you visit your local supermarket or shopping centre, chances are you will appear on camera. With respect to legal rights, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the right to life, liberty and security, but does not include or suggest any right to privacy. According to the Privacy Act, violation of privacy is a tort or civil wrong. Any act or conduct is not a violation of privacy, if it is incidental to the exercise of a lawful right of defence of person or property. Also, it would appear the right to liberty and freedom is enhanced, rather than infringed by security cameras. The issue of waterfront cameras in White Rock has created a groundswell of emotion, with concern for loss of privacy. Security appears to be secondary, as residents think of White Rock as a small seaside and somewhat isolated community of only 20,000 people. This may be true, but White Rock is part of a large metropolis of approximately two million people and, as such, is visited by people from many cities, as well as Washington State. All things being considered, let’s not be too hasty to justify privacy over safety and security. Charles Parrott, Surrey Q There was a time, a few years ago, when White Rock was a quiet seaside town isolated from the commotion north of the yellow line on North Bluff Road. Today, development north of that yellow line in

Cloverdale, Grandview Corners, Langley and Panorama Ridge means more people are coming to White Rock to enjoy the beach, the promenade and, hopefully, the businesses on Marine Drive. These people park their cars in lots owned by Burlington Northern Santa Fe, cross the railroad tracks at uncontrolled level pedestrian crossings owned by BNSF and walk the promenade on land owned by BNSF, not fenced and isolated, as is every other railroad right of way on the Pacific coast. We use that promenade and collect parking fees under an agreement with BNSF that includes our being responsible for security of the area. When that agreement was negotiated, nobody anticipated the White Rock rail line carrying far more than a dozen trains a day and nobody foresaw regular 120-car coal trains carrying Wyoming coal to Westshore Terminals that now ships over 20 million tons of coal to Asia. White Rock is no longer isolated by the yellow line. Risk management is fundamental to any corporation, and increasing numbers of people walking six feet away from increasing trains is a risk-management problem. What risk? On Canada Day, I watched parents encourage children to put coins, stones, whatever on the tracks in front of the approaching coal train. Friday, a father had his child stand between the tracks for that perfect picture with the oncoming train in the background. Sending RCMP to walk the promenade is a waste of resources. Their work slate is full with people who ignore our assumed security of the North Bluff yellow line. We have two bylaw officers on duty for the whole city. Monitoring the promenade by CCTV is logical and cost effective, especially given this is private property and in the best interests of the owner, BNSF. Our request to BNSF to install cameras is the starting point. The outcry citing “1984” should be reminded that Orwell wrote that novel in 1949. The world has changed in 63 years and so has White Rock. Coun. Larry Robinson, White Rock

MPs met victims Venezuelan team nearly tourney no-shows from page 1 “We’ve launched it, now we have to implement it,” Hiebert said. “What we saw there was the actual implementation, and that’s the critical stage we now face here in Canada. How do you actually do stuff like… the street transformation project that we saw?” During the tour, the MPs also met with female victims of trafficking and sexual exploitation at a shelter in Bangkok, migrant workers living near the border between Thailand and Myanmar – a hotspot for trafficking – and child survivors of sexual exploitation who are staying at World Vision’s trauma recovery centre in Phnom Penh. The visits with victims struck a chord with Hiebert as a parent. “They just want what everyone else wants – they want to be with their family and they want to be loved,” said the MP, who has two young children. “The human need to be loved and nurtured is the same the world over.” For every trafficking victim forced into prostitution, nine others are forced into work in places like factories and sweatshops, World Vision estimates. They work what are called 3D jobs – dirty, dangerous and degrading - in any number of industries from agricultural work to fishing, mining, domestic service, and manufacturing.

from page 1 One challenge that resulted from the disappearance came in ensuring tournament rules that require teams to compete in contrasting colours could still be met. Without enough spare uniforms for every player, Team Japan had to play every game in their alternate uniforms: white jerseys and red and white shorts. Fortunately, their opponents, including Team Canada, were “super co-operative.” The understanding of competitors coupled with efforts to try to find the uniforms eased the upset of the experience for the squad, Timms added. “Their head coach lost her pants in that bag, so they thought that was a little bit humorous,” Timm said. “They had envisioned their coach possibly being out on the field with no pants, so the players were having some fun with that.”

604-536-4222

There is still hope the uniforms will be returned in time for the team’s games at the Women’s World Championships, which get underway in Whitehorse Friday. Anyone with information is asked to contact Brittney Prentice at 604-536-9287. The incident was one of two significant ones – and “lots of little things” – officials

dealt with over the course of the tourney. Timm said the society had to make a desperate last-minute appeal for help from South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert, after the senior Venezuelan team withdrew from the event due to difficulties obtaining their visas. “Our host committee said ‘just a minute, let’s wait and see if we can help,’” Timm said. “We started with our MP’s office and the staff in that office was fantastic in assisting us. We had the visas issued late that evening and picked up that evening in Caracas and the Venezuelan team was successful in hitting their flights.” The youth Venezuelan team, however, was not so lucky. Planning to attend the Canadian Open, the squad also had to withdraw after visa troubles. They have committed to attend next year’s tournament, Timm said.

Wild weekend planned at Critter Care Monique Tamminga Black Press

ritter Care volunteer intern Rick Kuijpers holds an emaciated coyote cub with care as he tries to give him important liquid minerals and electrolytes through a syringe at Critter Care wildlife rehabilitation centre. The four-week-old cub came into the centre just a day before, and his prognosis doesn’t look good, said Kuijpers. But Kuijpers, who hails from the Netherlands and is a veterinarian technician, does not plan to give up. “These guys didn’t invade our space, we are living in their territory. ❝These guys We need to didn’t invade learn to live ” our space… together, Kuijpers We need to says. “I come learn to live from the Netherlands together.❞ where we jam Rick Kuijpers 16 million Critter Care people into space smaller than Vancouver Island. We have no wildlife.” Kuijpers came to Canada to work with wildlife after working with domesticated animals. He says his country has a few foxes and birds as wildlife, whereas in Canada, there are beautiful open spaces and wildlife that need to be protected. Critter Care, located in South Langley’s Campbell Valley Park, is B.C.’s only rehabilitation centre for the province’s injured and orphaned wildlife. It is home to 14 interns who come from all corners of the globe to gain experience working hands-on with wildlife, including bear cubs, sea otters and raccoons. This year, 16 bear cubs were released back to the wild. While the centre is closed to the public most of the year, Critter Care opens its gates to the public for two days this Saturday and Sunday, July 14 and 15, offering a unique opportunity to see a working rehabilitation centre up close and personal, including

There is plenty of

entertainment for young and old, as well. The work at Critter Care is never-ending – much like with a

newborn, most baby animals need to be bottle-fed every two hours if they come in to the centre at a very young age.

Last week, two week-old otters came in from Maple Ridge. They will be bottle-fed until 12 weeks, when they will start to swim and eat fish. As a reporter was interviewing Critter Care founder Gail Martin, a conservation officer dropped off an orphaned fawn. She was quickly checked over and introduced to the other two fawns in the deer enclosure. One of those deer, Fae, was rescued at Brae Island two weeks ago. Flooding separated the young fawn from her mother. She was abandoned. She has mange, but intern Lisa Kril has been treating her with an anti-parasitic and it’s almost all gone, she said. All three will be ready to be released to the wild in late August. The centre takes in hundreds of native mammals a year, including fawns, beaver, sea otters, coyotes, raccoons, skunks, bobcats, squirrels and bear cubs. Martin began taking in orphaned raccoons in the 1980s. Now the centre is run by a collective of volunteers and interns. Run on donations, the funds raised from the open house and donations go to purchasing things like specialized baby formula for the busy spring and summer baby seasons. The formula costs the society $25,000 a year and can’t be bought in Canada. Formula, vaccines, medical supplies and specialized foods – like fish for the otters – cost Critter Care around $60,000 per year. The public is invited to come out for a guided tour of the animals and enjoy live entertainment from Paws-2-Dance, First Nations drummer, dancer and storyteller Randy Tait, as well as lots of fun for the kids, including a bouncy castle, dunk tank, pony rides, face painting and visits with Township firefighters and their fire truck or RCMP officers and their patrol car. Critter Care is always happy to take in paper products like paper towels and toilet paper, as well as large plastic bags. Critter Care is located at 481 216 St.

When you sleep, do you really recover?

A mattress scientiﬁcally designed for the world’s elite athletes is now available for everyone in need of restorative sleep.

WITH CLINICALLY PROVEN BENEFITS TO THE HUMAN BODY Cellant® has been proven in clinical tests to reduce pain, increase oxygen levels, and help balance body temperature. Each of these results can have added beneﬁts including faster healing, increased performance, better quality sleep, and improved overall wellness, all of which can help alleviate the symptoms of arthritis and peripheral vascular disease often associated with diabetes. The key to Celliant® lies in it’s ability to absorb and store the electromagnetic (energy) emissions from the human body and release them where they are reabsorbed into the skin and deep muscle tissue. In the deep muscle tissue they act as catalysts for natural, biological processes resulting in enhanced oxygen levels and more balanced body temperature during sleep, rest or physical activity.

Work commenced on kitchen upgrades and expansion July 6 at the Kent Street Activity Centre with Mayor Wayne Baldwin, Clive Griffiths, Joan Lewis, and Pat Faulkner on scene, among others.

Kent Street Activity Centre expansion continues

Kitchen work underway Work has begun on the kitchen upgrade and expansion at White Rock’s Kent Street Activity Centre. The upgrade, which got underway Friday, is to include a commercial-grade dishwasher, new fridge, new stove-fan, a soundabsorbing wall, and an increase in size. Cost of the project is $157,000, which was raised through a variety of fundraisers – including bake and plant sales – as well as with

money from the City of White Rock and a donation from the estate of former KSAC member Katsumi Sugita. According to a release by the city, the expansion and upgrade is necessary to accommodate both the growing number of volunteers and the seniors who lunch at the Kent Street Centre. “The Kent Street Activity Centre is a hub of social activity for older adults in White Rock and South

I have lived with a guy for two years so I am now a commonlaw spouse. In order to provide me with some security I persuaded my new hubby to transfer his home into both my name and his. He did, and some months later he died suddenly. I went to the Land Title and Survey Authority with a death certiÀcate to get the home transferred to me, but they refused. I thought I had the right to the whole property and his children had no claim to it. The document says nothing, just that the title goes into my name and his name. Are the people at the Land Title and Survey Authority mistaken?

New Cloverdale Legion hall is back on track Jennifer Lang

plan to build a new Cloverdale Legion that was shelved six months ago is unexpectedly being brought back to life. Phase 1 of Cloverdale West Village, the City of Surrey’s longstanding promise to redevelop the derelict old Cloverdale Mall site into a thriving neighbourhood hub, will be going ahead after all, members of the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association were told late last month. “It’s embarrassing because it’s been a long time in the works,” said Jim Cox, CEO of the Surrey City Development Corporation (SCDC). “But it’s going to happen.” The project was put on hold in January, when the Legion’s partners, SCDC and developer Townline Housing Solutions, decided current market conditions and higher project costs meant putting phase one off for up to two years. The proponents instead were going to focus on a different phase of the residential and commercial development, which represents the cornerstone of the city’s revitalization plans for Cloverdale. In November 2010, members of

In return, the Legion would own its new hall outright, and would lease out commercial space for revenue. On June 27, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 6 members approved a slightly revised plan, meaning Phase 1 can go ahead after heading back to city hall for final adjustments.

Branch 6 president Frank Redekop credited Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts for getting phase one off the back burner. “After many discussions, this is definitely the best option for us,” Redekop said. Under the deal, the Legion will get a new, 10,000-square-foot hall, plus 1,800-square-feet of additional retail space the Legion will rent out, providing a source of ongoing revenue.

Timber deadline looms Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. legislative committee studying timber supply in the wake of the Interior pine beetle epidemic is holding its final hearings this week, with an Aug. 15 deadline to recommend whether to open up more areas to logging as the forest recovers. At hearings in Vancouver this week, MLAs heard conflicting advice from industry and environmental interests, after a tour of the communities hardest hit by the beetle kill. Their task is to see if there is enough timber available to rebuild the Burns Lake sawmill destroyed by fire in January, and to decide if affected areas protected for old growth, wildlife or visual values should be considered for harvesting. Long-time B.C. environmentalist Vicky Husband told the committee the “elephant in the room”

A group of MLAs and foresters tour beetle-affected areas. is mill overcapacity, built to deal with the huge areas with dead trees that are approaching the end. “The result was a perfect storm of events – beetles ravaging one billion mature pine trees and an industry building supermills and logging like crazy,” Husband said. “Everyone knew it couldn’t last, and we’ve known this for a long time. It seems like we’re coming

to the end and suddenly trying to find a Band-Aid solution.” She warned that opening up protected areas to increase the annual allowable cut would risk B.C.’s international forest certification, and create “false hope” in forest-dependent communities. The committee completes its hearings today (Thursday), and is accepting written submissions until July 20.

Parent appealing conviction, sentence Monique Tamminga Black Press

The Langley man convicted in the 2008 hit-and-run death of 21-year-old Silas O’Brien is appealing both the judgment against him and his penalty. Brent Parent, who has been in jail since his 5½-year sentence was imposed in May, filed an application with the Court of Appeal on June 4. The 43-year-old was convicted in January of criminal negligence causing death, dangerous driving and failure to stop at an accident

with a vehicle, in connection with O’Brien’s March 13, 2008 death. That morning, O’Brien was en route from Abbotsford to the Seattle airport with his two best friends when the truck they were riding in was forced off the road and into a ditch. The three men climbed out and were standing on the road shoulder when the Ford that caused them to lose control returned, swerved towards them and struck O’Brien. In trial, the court heard that Parent was at the wheel of the Ford and became enraged when he

Ron Wiseman

thought that the Chevy Silverado O’Brien was in had deliberately flashed its high beams at him on 16 Avenue, and that Parent had returned to the scene, striking and killing O’Brien. In court, Parent said he was very sorry for “ruining a lot of people’s lives” but then asked that the judge not put him away for a “long time.” After Parent was sentenced, O’Brien’s father, Rodger, told media the term was what he had expected, and that he didn’t think Parent would appeal.

news Home sales sag Greater Vancouver home sales hit a 10-year low in June, down more than 27 per cent from a year ago. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver called it further evidence of a buyer’s market where potential purchasers have more to choose from and don’t have to race to beat out other bidders. Despite weakening sales, there’s been little sign so far of home prices dropping significantly. The benchmark residential property price declined 0.7 per cent from May to June and was still up 1.7 per cent from a year ago. Benchmark prices ranged from $961,600 for single-detached houses (up 3.3 per cent from June 2011) to $376,200 for condos (up 0.3 per cent) and $468,400 for attached homes (down 0.1 per cent). Sales counted by the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board were down eight per cent since June 2011. Fraser Valley benchmark prices for detached houses were up 3.6 per cent from a year ago to $551,000 in June, while townhouses held even at $305,000 and condos were up 0.7 per cent to $203,600.

Annual White Rock event set for upcoming weekend

World-class athletes to compete in the Tour The Tour de White Rock presented by Haywood Securities is set to roll into town this week, bringing with it some of the world’s best cyclists and a slew of fun activities. This year, be sure to watch for Langley’s Svein Tuft and Christian Meier, who recently delivered a one-two punch at the Canadian road time trial championships in Meagantic, Que., winning gold and silver, respectively. The two high-proﬁle cyclists will be vying for the top spot at Tour de White Rock, which Tuft captured in 2010. But it’s not just the pros who can have some fun. Thanks to last year’s addition of the Just Giver Amateur Hill Climb, there is something for people of all skill levels. Set for Friday, July 13 at 6 p.m., the 700-m hill climb up Buena Vista Avenue gives amateur cyclists the chance

all our city has to offer.

Haze in the air over Metro Vancouver is being blamed on smoke wafting across the Pacific from huge wildfires in Siberia. The smoke rising in Asia soars thousands of feet in the atmosphere and then is being carried here by air currents before being forced closer to ground level by the same high pressure system that brought the hot clear weather this past weekend. “We have perfect conditions right now where it’s being transported right to B.C. and then that smoke is being drawn down to the surface,” said Ken Reid, Metro Vancouver’s superintendent of environmental sampling and monitoring. It’s resulted in fine particulate levels almost

double what the Fraser Valley would normally see, he said. Big wildfires are also burning in Colorado but Reid said it’s unlikely to be carried here with the current weather patterns. Homegrown smog could also worsen air quality in the region, but Reid said that hasn’t happened yet. Higher temperatures could be coming towards the end of the week, he said, possibly causing more smog by then. So far, Metro officials are watching conditions and haven’t yet issued any air-quality advisories. One of the tools air-quality experts are using is a network of automated cameras that show the visibility at key sites around the region. They can be viewed online at clearairbc.ca

Hayer won’t seek re-election next year Rick Kupchuk Black Press

Dave Hayer MLA

Add Dave Hayer to the list of BC Liberals who won’t be seeking re-election next year. Hayer’s Surrey-Tynehead constituency office issued a press release Monday afternoon, confirming the MLA will not seek a fourth term in the B.C. legislature. “It has been a great 11 years, and it has been an honour to

represent the residents of SurreyTynehead as well as other areas of the City of Surrey throughout that time and during the many achievements we brought here,” said Hayer in the release. “I entered provincial politics to accomplish a number of things that I believed were needed in my constituency, in Surrey and in the Province of British Columbia. I have achieved virtually all those goals.”

Hayer cited a new Port Mann Bridge, expansion of Surrey Memorial Hospital, the new Surrey campus of Simon Fraser University, upgrading of Kwantlen Polytechnic University to a full university, and the construction of new schools as accomplishments during his time as an MLA. He is one of a number of members of the governing BC Liberal party not running in the May

2013 election. Liberal MLAs Kash Heed (Vancouver-Fraserview), Harry Bloy (Burnaby-Lougheed) and Kevin Krueger (KamloopsSouth Thompson) last month announced their intentions to not seek re-election, and cabinet members George Abbott (Education Minister) and SurreyCloverdale MLA Kevin Falcon (finance minister) said they were undecided.

But by the same token, experience of viable arts communities elsewhere has shown that artists and arts groups who expect to be supported by the community – and become part of an arts destination – need to achieve a consistent standard, he said. “People don’t mind paying the money, but the work has to be worthwhile,” he said. “There is no room for mediocrity any more.” Giffin said he also believes arts groups and individual artists have an obligation to put their best foot forward. “I would like the theme for White Rock to be ‘excellence in the most beautiful place on earth,’” he said. “I would like people to think that if they come out here for a show they can expect excellence – if you build that, that’s what people will come to.” But he said the city’s busking program, which he has also helped promote, has proven that an art-friendly environment doesn’t have to be all about costly events. “One of the things I’d love to see is more involvement in street performance art,” he said.

arts & entertainment Juried exhibition of visual arts opens Saturday at Surrey Art Gallery

3-D art, photos dominate Surrey gallery display Maria Spitale-Leisk Black Press

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no optical illusion: three-dimensional art and photographs dominate the Surrey Art Galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual juried exhibition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More people tend to work with mixed media, so we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see as many watercolour submissions,â&#x20AC;? said Surrey Art Galleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistant curator Brian Foreman of the exhibition, which runs until Aug. 18. There were 170 artists who answered the call for submissions for Arts 2012, which is open to those south of the Fraser River. The galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hometown creativity emerged during the â&#x20AC;&#x153;blindâ&#x20AC;? adjudication process; Surrey has 22 artists represented in the show. Foreman included, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jurors are celebrated South Surrey wildlife artist Don Li-Leger and Kwantlen Polytechnic University visual arts instructor Nicole Brabant. In a collective statement, the jurors agreed this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s submissions â&#x20AC;&#x153;reflect both the diversity of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artists, and the issues and ideas that inform contemporary life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; political, physical and emotional.â&#x20AC;? Foreman also had an opportunity to showcase his own creativity in the layout of the exhibition with highly eclectic offerings. The categories are: painting,

works on canvas and paper; drawing, two-dimensional mixed media and printmaking; threedimensional works and fibre arts; and photography and new media. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The challenge is to take 52 artworks and create relationships,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I found clusters of ideas.â&#x20AC;? Exhibition-goers are first greeted by a series of comforting paintings featuring a romantic vignette and an inviting, twodimensional table setting with lusciouslooking oranges â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;to draw people in,â&#x20AC;? explains Foreman. The rest of the show is divided amongst two rooms: a quieter area for pondering natureinspired art â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a larger, contemporary space with louder pieces, so to speak. Artist Jeff Rasmussenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s somewhat grotesque â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Gutsackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is shaped from Styrofoam and water putty. The oversized stomach art is also wrapped in coaxial cables plugged into a prop cable port. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be scared; what you see before you is but an unwelcome reflection in the mirror,â&#x20AC;? reads Rasmussenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement, drawing parallels between obesity and the Internet. Surrey Art Gallery is located at 13750 88 Ave. For more information, visit www. surrey.ca/arts or call 604-501-5566.

Three-dimensional art and photographs (left) will be featured at the Surrey Art Galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual juried exhibition, Arts 2012, until Aug. 18. Submissions from 170 artists from south of the Fraser river poured in, with 22 hailing from Surrey. Contributed photo

White Rock’s loss will be Kitsilano’s gain. Beyond Scarlett Arts & Entertainment Group has teamed up with Kitsilano 4th Avenue Business Association to program a stage for the Khatsahlano Music & Art Festival slated for July 21. The joint venture comes Janice Savage after Beyond Scarlett’s orgaorganizer nizer Janice Savage announced plans to launch a White Rock International Music Festival for the same weekend were on hold until 2013 due to “time limitations and the current economic climate.” “I knew the executive director of the business association, Russ Davies, and he knew about the (White Rock International Music) festival because both were on the same weekend. When he found out it was being postponed to next year, he contacted me right away,” Savage said. “It worked out perfect because we had a good base and now we can continue downtown, under their

Striving for ‘excellence in the most beautiful place on earth’ Lack of space for the arts in White Rock, outside of the White Rock Community Centre – which has an ongoing commitment to visual art displays – is a continuing problem in promoting the city as an arts destination, she agreed. “There are no walls in the city. The city should be looking at the museum as a viable international venue – about the only one we have. They should be looking at some sections of the promenade. They

should be looking at the library.” And Ballard said she is particularly wary of the bureaucratic model when it comes to administrative decisions in the city that directly affect the arts. “People working in a paid position related to the arts, in any capacity, should be, preferably, local and have some background in the arts,” she cautioned. “We need to find people who are qualified.”

This year, Salas has won the King of the Mountain jersey as the Sebastian Salas top climber at the Tour de California, and is one of just three Canadians â&#x20AC;&#x201C; along with Superweek alum Dominique Rollin and Rider Hesjedal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to win a stage or jersey at the prestigious California race.

he stars are back in town. Whereas the field for last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tour de White Rock was bereft of many of the big-name pro riders that cycling fans have grown accustomed to seeing compete in the seaside cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual three-race event â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field featured just 22 riders, only 13 of whom finished the race â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roster is not lacking for star power. Among those set to take part in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tour, which begins tomorrow (Friday) with the grueling hill climb event, are Olympian and former Tour de White Rock road race winner Svein Tuft, Christian Meier, Hilton Clarke and Sebastian Salas. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s road race winner, New Westminster amateur cyclist Tim Abercrombie, is also expected back to defend his title. The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field is loaded with talent, too, led by Canadian Olympic alternate Steph Roorda and Trek Red Truck rider Jenny Lehmann, who finished third in the

overall omnium rankings at last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tour de Delta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really great for us to have all these riders back,â&#x20AC;? said BC Superweek race director Mark Ernsting, adding that last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field was thinner due to many racersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pro commitments in Europe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just goes to show the kind of event that BC Superweek, and the Tour de White Rock, has become, that the riders want to be here. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very thankful to them for that.â&#x20AC;? Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hill climb â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in which riders pedal a 700-m incline on Buena Vista Avenue, from Oxford Street to just past Foster â&#x20AC;&#x201C; begins with an all-comers, amateur climb at 6 p.m., followed by the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event at 7 p.m. and the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race 30 minutes after that. On Saturday, attention turns to the criterium in uptown White Rock, a race run on a tight one-kilometre circuit from Johnston Road, around Five Corners, past city hall and back around to White Rock Elementary. The action begins with menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s category 3/4 riders at 4 p.m.; followed by the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

race at 5 p.m. and the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pro 1/2 category riders at 6 p.m. The main event, the Peace Arch News Road Race, hits the streets Sunday at 9 a.m. along Marine Drive, with riders tackling a scenic but tough course that winds through White Rock. The men will complete a 130-km race â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 11 laps on a 10.1-km course and five on a shorter circuit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race is 80-km (eight long laps). â&#x20AC;&#x153;The White Rock road race has such a deep history, with a lot of (big name) winners, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely a race the riders target as a big one,â&#x20AC;? Ernsting said. Superweek began last weekend in Delta, with Bellingham amateur Steve Fisher outpedalling a field of pro riders to take the 140-km menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s road race, and 24-year-old Morgan Cabot edging Roorda in the 88-km womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. Pro rider Ryan Anderson, another veteran BC Superweek rider, returned from Europe and captured Deltaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s criterium event, while the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s criterium was won by Roorda.

Langley Selects pitcher Zac Laird – announced over the loudspeaker as ‘Bazooka Joe’ – throws a pitch during the bronzemedal game against North Langley Sunday afternoon in White Rock.

Dan Ferguson photo

White Rock wins 9/10 crown The White Rock 9/10 Selects took home top prize at the District 3 Tournament last weekend, beating Vancouver’s Hastings Little League 6-5 in the title game Sunday at Centennial Park. The four-team tournament – which was originally scheduled as a six-team event until two teams dropped out – also included North Langley and Langley. In the bronze-medal game,

Langley defeated its North Langley brethren in a high-scoring 19-13 affair. En route to the championship banner, White Rock defeated Langley (11-10), Hastings again (11-6) and North Langley (20-5), while also losing once to North Langley (15-12). Earlier in the month, on the Canada Day weekend, White Rock’s Mini 8 team finished sec-

ond in the Mini 8 All-Star Tournament, which was also hosted by the White Rock-South Surrey Baseball Association. In the final, White Rock lost 16-8 to Hastings. One more tournament is still on the horizon locally, as the District 3 11/12 Select event is slated for July 18-22 at Centennial Park. - Nick Greenizan

Japan holds off Team USA to take Open title Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Team Japan has done it again – this time in extra innings. For the second year in a row, the Japanese women’s fastpitch squad left Softball City as Women’s International Division champions after defeating Team USA 9-6 Monday night in the title game of the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship. This year’s rematch of the 2011 final – which Japan won 7-0 after scoring six runs in the game’s first three frames – was in stark contrast to last year’s contest, as neither team managed to plate a run for the first four innings. Japan broke the scoreless draw in the top of the fifth inning with a four-run outburst, which was keyed by four base hits – including a double by Eri Yamada that scored two runs – a U.S. fielding error, and a walk and a wild pitch from American pitcher Keilani Ricketts. The four-run cushion didn’t last long,

After Stacey MayJohnson led off the inning with a single, she came across to score one batter later on a Kaitlin Cochran triple. First baseman Valerie Arioto – who led the

women’s tournament in home runs and RBI – then reached base when she was hit by a pitch, and both her and Cochran scored three batters later when Lauren Gibson took Japan pitcher Yamato Fujita deep for a threerun home run. With neither team

scoring in the seventh inning, the title tilt headed to extra innings, and both teams’ bats got hot again. Japan scored five runs – all unearned – in the top of the eighth after three hits and a pair of U.S. errors, and the States responded in the bottom half of the inning, but it was not enough to force a ninth inning. With May-Johnson on second base to start the inning – as per international tie-breaker rules – Samantha Fisher crushed a home run to make it 9-6. The States added another hit, and Japan made an error, after the homer, but it wasn’t enough to bridge the three-run gap. Relief pitcher Chelsea Thomas, who pitched the final inning and two-thirds for the U.S., was tagged with the loss, while Fujita pitched the full eight innings for Japan, striking out three. In the bronze-medal contest earlier Monday, Canada – which was beset by defensive troubles on the weekend

– lost 7-0 to Australia. Again, Canada struggled in the field, making three errors. Madison Schreyer was stuck with the loss for

Canada, pitching threeand-two-thirds innings, allowing three hits and five runs, but just one of the runs was earned. Canada finished the

tournament with a 4-4 record and now prepares for world championships, which begin Friday in Whitehorse.

Adera wins at international building awards

Ultima takes home a Gold Nugget Adera Development Corporation was a big winner at the Gold Nugget Award ceremony last month, winning seven awards for three of their developments.

is Adera’s best yet,” says Adera President Norm Couttie. “To be recognized with six awards of merit is phenomenal at this high level of competition, but to win a Grand Award at (an) international building awards (ceremony) is thrilling.” Adera also won Awards of Merit for Multi-Family Housing Project – over 50/acre for seven35, On the Boards MultiFamily Community for Sail, Green Sustainable Residential Community for seven35, Residential Project of the Year – Attached Product in an Urban Setting for seven 35, and International Residential Project – Attached 1.0 FAR and over for seven35 and Ultima.

‘This is really something out of the ordinary’

Solo David has views and architecture all in one by Kerry Vital

Standing on your front steps outside Solo David by Mosaic Homes, you see the Lower Mainland stretching before you. Situated in a fantastic location on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain, the views are simply out of this world. “Architecture, views, value: it’s all there,” says Mosaic’s Brandon Trent. “This is really something out of the ordinary.” He’s not exaggerating. With large windows and Solo David’s northsouth facing location, you’ll be able to see beauty from every angle. Built in a classic Tudor style, with recessed entries, oversized eight-foot doors, wood trim and a stucco finish, the exteriors themselves are almost like works of art. Each home is three storeys. Two-car garages are at the rear with a walk-out entrance to the main floor and a fenced backyard.

“

These homes won’t last,” says Mosaic’s Brandon Trent. “They’re exclusive and unique to the mountainside.”

With only 16 three-storey homes in the project, ranging from 3,516 to 3,522 square feet, Solo David is an exclusive community that is perfect for families of all sizes. With the ability to add a suite or an extra bedroom, it’s easy to make your home fit your lifestyle. “It’s really flexible for families,” Trent says. Inside, the homes are modern and contemporary, with laminate flooring and an open-plan layout. Buyers are able to choose between a threeand four-bedroom configuration, depending on your needs. The lower level offers plenty of options for customization, whether you want to build a mortgage helper, a large entertainment space or a home office. The possibilities are endless, Trent says. Heading up the stairs, the main living area opens before you. With nine-foot ceilings, the sense of space is incredible. The kitchen is huge, with tons of storage space and elegant quartz countertops. “This is a massive dining room,” says Trent. The show home features a table set for eight, but you could fit at least 10 people in the space. Beside it, the living area is complemented by the large bay window and a flex space that can be used as a library or extra living space. Upstairs, the master bedroom is the

epitome of comfort, with its walkin closet and coffered ceilings that continue in the ensuite bathroom. “This is a stunning bedroom,” Trent says. “There’s just nothing like it.” One of the fabulous features here is the large window seat that affords you yet another beautiful view. Those views will never disappear, Trent says, since Mosaic will also be building Riley, a collection of Tudor rowhomes which complements the streetscape and does not impede the scenery. The other bedrooms on the upper floor are spacious and inviting. A flex space is featured up here as well, so you can decide to close it off to make a fourth bedroom, or leave it open to use as a playroom or office space. The grand opening will take place on Saturday, July 14 at noon, and Mosaic is expecting a great turnout. “These homes won’t last,” says Trent. “They’re exclusive and unique to the mountainside.” Homes start at $699,900. For more information, visit www.solohomes.ca or call 604-878-SOLO (7656). The Home Store is located at 3471 David Avenue.

Q. A.

Real Estate Corner

with Derrick Sims

We are looking to buy a home soon. What are some signs of overall quality I should be looking for? It is always advisable to have a professional inspector look at a home before you purchase it, but you can do some of the legwork beforehand. You will need to look at the overall structure, the basic systems, and for any signs of previous damage. Here are some specifics to check: R Walls – Be sure they are straight and show no signs of bowing. R Sturdy Floor – Test for signs of improper flexing. R Sound Roof – Does it appear to be relatively new and well maintained? R Quality Fixtures – Pay particular attention to the baths and kitchen. R Electrical System – Look for adequate outlets and in the main box for a minimum of 100 amps of service. R Heating And Cooling System – Are all rooms connected, and is the system adequate? R Insulation - Look for a minimum of R-19 in the roof. The walls can be less, but they need to be well insulated. R Quality Workmanship – Look at the fine details. They will give you a lot of insight. R Water Damage – Be sure water is draining properly outside, and that there are no signs of interior damage. If these items look good to you and you are interested in the home, it is time to hire an inspector to take a more thorough look. They can often find “hidden” problems you may have missed. Your professional realtor can give you a list of inspectors they trust.

It is with saddest regrets we are announcing that, surrounded by his loving family, William (Bill) Althuizen passed away in the Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock, B.C. on July 3, 2012. Born February 9, 1929 in Einhoven, Holland, Bill immigrated to Moose Jaw Sask. Canada. There he met and married his life partner of 50 years, Eileen Bennett. In 1973 Bill and Eileen moved their family of 5 children to White Rock, B.C. Bill became an active member of his community, volunteering for the White Rock Legion. He was a man full of love for his family, his friends, and his work as a skilled carpenter. He leaves behind a rich legacy including his cherished wife, Eileen, his treasured children, Cathie (Norm), Theo (Georgina), Susan (Wade), Linda (Stephen), and Mark (Dee), 3 Brothers, 14 Grandchildren, 9 Great Grandchildren, and innumerable friends. He is predeceased by his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Henricus Althuizen of Volkel, Holland and his 4 Sisters. A Celebration of Life will take place at a later date TBA by the family. Donations can be made to the White Rock Legion Poppy Fund, or the Canadian Cancer Society. We will miss you dearly Bill/Dad/Opa, it won’t be the same without you.
