Ontario woman found dead days after moving to B.C.

Young mom’s family pleads for answers Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The mother of the young woman whose body was found last week near the banks of the Nicomekl River is appealing to anyone who may have seen the 20-year-old in the days before her death. Carmen Chauvin-Perron told Peace Arch News this week that she last spoke to her daughter on July 15, shortly after Ashley Chauvin arrived in B.C. from Elliott Lake, Ont. Ashley’s last contact with family was two days later, on the Tuesday evening, when she spoke on the phone

with her aunt in Campbell River. Her body was found late Thursday afternoon. “The police, they have her whereabouts and who she spoke with up to Tuesday,” Chauvin-Perron said from her home in Sudbury, Ont. “It’s still a mystery as to how she would have got there and why she was at that point. “I pray to God that nobody did something intentionally or hurt her in any way.” Chauvin-Perron is hopeful that by sharing Ashley’s name and photo, the mystery can be solved. “It’s the not knowing that’s hard to cope with,” she

said. “Maybe somebody saw something. It could help the investigation.” Police were called to the 15500-block of 40 Avenue around 4:30 p.m. July 19, after a passerby who was in the area looking for fishing spots found Ashley. It was the same day that a friend reported Ashley missing, after losing contact with her online. An autopsy found no obvious signs of foul play, and police are now hoping a toxicology report will confirm the cause of death. Chauvin-Perron said her daughter – who has a see page 4

A South Surrey cold-storage plant was evacuated Wednesday morning after an ammonia leak was detected. Around 5 a.m. workers at Cloverdale Cold Storage in the 3100-block of 188 Street noticed a strong odour. The plant was evacuated and ambulance crews and a Surrey Fire Service hazmat (hazardous materials) team was called in to stand by while engineers worked to repair what was described as a small but stubborn leak in a hose. No injuries were reported.

Man at large after horrific attack near Unwin Park in Newton last month

Police seek new leads in violent sexual assault Mounties are seeking public assistance in identifying a man responsible for a violent sexual assault in June. Police issued a news release Wednesday stating that around midnight on June 2, a 31-year-old woman was heading back from a friend’s place in Newton, and was walking near Unwin Park

in the 13300-block of 68 Street. A man emerged from bushes in the park and sexually attacked her, threatening to kill her. He is described as a Caucasian male, in his 30s or 40s, about six feet tall, with a muscular build, clean shaven, with slight stubble. He has light brown hair with a short buzz cut.

Police originally identified people of interest early in the investigation, but they have been eliminated as suspects. RCMP Sgt. Drew Grainger said it was a horrific attack that’s getting top priority from investigators. “Here we have a woman walking home in her own neighbourhood, in an

area which she no doubt walks through every day,” Grainger said. “(She) gets confronted by this person, held against her will, violently, physically and sexually assaulted, fearing for her life. And here this man is still on the loose.” Anyone with information is asked to call 604-599-0502 or 1-800-222-TIPS.

The volunteers devoted a lot of time and energy to making this event happen, and all those who benefited owe them a debt of gratitude. Most people who volunteer at events like this say taking part is a big reward in itself. Surrey hosted the Summer Games back in 1989, but it’s been a long time between these events and much has changed in the interval. For one thing, the city is much larger and much more Boaz Joseph photo multicultural. Synchronized swimmers at the It also has many more updated B.C. Summer Games in Surrey.

They also likely got a better sense of just how many young people live in Surrey. About one-third of Surrey’s population is under 25 – far more than in Vancouver and likely higher than any other city in the province. Many young people took part in either the Games or the Fusion Festival. One of the great strengths of the Summer Games is that they afford young people the opportunity to meet other young people who excel in their particular sport, from other parts of the province. The Games also allow people from all parts of B.C. to get to know a city and region better. They have been going for a long time, since 1978. They have helped bring B.C., a very diverse province with many different geographic areas and varied people groups, closer together. Surrey, as one of the largest cities in the province and one of the most diverse, is an excellent place to hold the Games. It represents much of B.C.’s future, with its growth, diversity, youth and enthusiasm. It’s the kind of city that makes B.C. such an interesting place to live. The next Summer Games will be held in Nanaimo, and the 2014 Winter Games will be closer to home than usual, in Mission. It’s good that the Games were such a success in Surrey. Let’s hope they are back again within the next 10 to 15 years. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

news Surrey council rejects large residential development in its current form at historic farm

Bose trees saved after 400 pack hearing Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A plan to develop historic Bose Farm was sent back to the drawing board by Surrey council this week, with city staff directed to return with a plan that will save more than 300 trees on the property. About 400 people packed city hall Monday evening in a marathon public hearing over plans to build a mixture of single-family homes and townhouses at 16420 64 Ave. The heart of the emotion-packed issue was a plan to take down 332 significant trees. The developer’s arborist noted in his report that most of the trees are more than 82 feet tall. Resident Gary McLaughlin said he’s not against development, but he’s fought his share of battles over tree loss in Surrey. He lost his previous fight to save trees in

Hillcrest, near East Clayton neighbourhood. “It’s time to get a balanced look at development,” he told council. “If we let this go ahead, the balance goes right to heck.” Cathleen McLeod asked council if there had been a wildlife count in the forest. “If not, why not?” she asked. MCleod referred to East Clayton as an area where mature trees were clearcut for development. “Let’s not repeat that fiasco in the rest of Surrey,” she said, noting the tree-protection bylaw affects average homeowners much more than it does developers. “Clearcuts in Surrey seem to be the order of the day as long as you’ve got deep pockets.” Bob Campbell said council was facing a pivotal decision. “This is one of those legacy projects you

will remember years and years from now,” Campbell said. Others pointed out that the forest is identified as an important hub in the city’s recent Ecosystem Management Study. Ian Whyte, from Envirowest, the developer’s environmental consultant, said he’s examined the property and the forest to the west and said it will be viable even without the 332 trees to the east. “You will have less wildlife if the development goes ahead, but the hub will maintain its integrity,” he said. Whyte also said there is no evidence of eagles or herons on the property, just one sighting of a red-tailed hawk’s nest. Tanner Wright, an SFU student, said council needs to think about what the city’s slogan, “the future lives here,” really means.

“I walk past that forest every single day,” Wright said. “I have to say, that’s one of the most beautiful things (about) waking up in the morning to catch the 8 o’clock bus.” Avtar Johl, with Platinum Enterprises, said that as the developer, if he can save any trees, he’s all for it. “With the road connections to connect the existing roads, it’s proving very difficult,” Johl told Black Press Tuesday. “There’s a large amount of cut and fill required on this site.” He said he’ll continue working with the city to find solutions for all parties. As part of the heritage component on the site, Platinum Enterprises has agreed to preserve the Henry Bose farmhouse, milk cooling shed and calf barn on the property. Council unanimously voted to send the development proposal back for a revamp.

Boarders give back

Noses put to the grindstone Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

People ranging from age five to 25 flocked to the South Surrey Skateboard Park Tuesday, but it wasn’t the sun that drew the crowd. Armed with paint, brushes and rollers, the two dozen youth painted over graffiti covering up the bowl and skatepark. The painting was part of an event organized by the Surrey RCMP’s Community Safety Officers and Surrey Parks, Recreation and Culture. “We got this idea after hearing complaints about graffiti and drugs at the skatepark,” said South Surrey community safety officer Susan Caley. “We spoke to the kids and they said they don’t want to have the drug-dealers and the graffiti at their park, so we’re helping them take it back.” Despite the heat, the group worked through the afternoon, covering up the spray-painted expletives and tags with paint. Tristan Burton, 12, said that despite the hard work, the tradeoff was worth it. “It’s really cool. It’s way better than a bunch of F-words and all that,” he said. Helpers were treated to snacks organized by the RCMP, while music played from the DJ booth.

City staff defend size and scope of new aquatics centres

Grandview, Guildford pools to make 2014 splash Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Surrey has announced details on the construction of two splashy new pools. One, a $40-million facility to be built in Guildford, has been on that community’s wish list for more than a decade. The project, at 15105 105 Ave., includes an eight-lane 50-metre pool, a swirl pool, tot play area, water slide, therapy pool and leisure pool, as well as a parkade. The structure was designed by awardwinning architect Bing Thom, who designed Central City and Surrey’s newest library.

The $50-million 50-metre Grandview pool, at 24 Avenue and 168 Street, will have 10 lanes and Surrey’s first 10-meter diving platform. Both projects, city staff say, will be built to Fédération Internationale de Natation standards, and are set for a fall 2014 opening. However, some residents aren’t enthused with the plan, primarily because they say neither pool is suitable for national or international competitive events. Among the critics is Aart Looye, a masters swimming coach and South Surrey resident. “(Both) of them will not be suitable for any type of economic tourism of any sort what-

soever,” he said Tuesday. “You can’t hold one provincial meet there, even though they say that they are.” Looye said he believes the pool planned for Guildford is too large for the parking the city has planned. “There’s always a shortage of parking, that whole area is complete (traffic) chaos,” Looye said. He believes a world-class pool could be built in Grandview by reducing the size of the pool in Guildford. “They can build a 37½-metre pool there, and they can fit it in and make it quite nice,” Looye said.

By reducing its size, he said, the parkade will be unnecessary, meaning more money would be available for the Grandview facility. City staff say they consulted with experts about best practices for building pools and found that the planned designs were the best for the service of the community, while fitting the bill for competitive events. The Grandview site will accommodate another 50-metre pool at a future date, if that becomes viable. With that configuration, construction grants from senior levels of government are available when bidding on specific events, parks staff say.

news Extenuating circumstances cited in hit-and-run fatality

Sentencing hearing delayed Alex Browne Staff Reporter

The sentencing hearing of the driver who has taken responsibility for the hit-and-run death of White Rock resident Marilyn Laursen has been adjourned until Sept. 27. Kyle Brandon Danyliuk, 20, was to have appeared in Surrey Provincial Court for the hearing on Wednesday (July 25), but his lawyer, Isaac Ferbey, has been granted an adjournment to give him more time to marshall evidence to argue there were extenuating circumstances in the May 18, 2011 incident.

Parr Plaza proceeds The area at the foot of White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ash Street walkway has a new name: Terry Parr Plaza. Council gave unanimous support Monday to renaming the site in honour of the longtime White Rock businessmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contributions to the community. The vote followed a staff report on the proposal that found the suggestion complied with the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Terry Parr policy for naming civic honoured facilities. The name change was suggested to council last month by representatives of the Peninsula Community Foundation (formerly the White Rock South Surrey Community Foundation) and Tourism White Rock. They described Parr â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who died on May 6, 2011 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a community builder and better yet, a community leader (who) deserves to be acknowledged.â&#x20AC;?

BBQs snuffed The days of charcoal barbecues on White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s West Beach are numbered. Following two split votes that left the issue in limbo in May â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a vote 18 months ago to keep them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; council gave unanimous support Monday to have the seven grills removed from Bayview Park. The decision marks a change of heart for one councillor. Coun. Al Campbell had initially supported keeping the barbecues, disagreeing with claims by area residents that the smoke was an offensive health hazard. At a May 28 meeting, he noted coal trains that pass along the waterfront are

far more concerning. Monday, Campbell said that after observing the barbecues in use, he had â&#x20AC;&#x153;reason to change my mind.â&#x20AC;? That reason, he noted, stems from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ignorant abuseâ&#x20AC;? of the amenity. He cited the burning of plastic cutlery and other inappropriate items as among incidents of misuse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Would I like this happening outside my house? The answer is no,â&#x20AC;? Campbell said. Coun. Helen Fathers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who had also previously supported retaining the barbecues â&#x20AC;&#x201C; noted the bigger issue is of people dragging wood up from the beach to burn, and that existing bylaws lack the teeth necessary to discourage the practices. In addition to supporting removal of the barbecues, council backed a motion by Fathersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to have staff review and update the relevant bylaw to make it clear that the burning of such material is prohibited. - Tracy Holmes

While Chauvin-Perron suspects her daughter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder â&#x20AC;&#x201C; may have died of a drug overdose, she believes that if that is found to be the case, Ashley likely didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intend to take her own life. And if suicide is deemed the cause of death, Ashleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother

hopes that others can learn from it and learn to recognize the signs and ask for help before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late. Anyone with information that could help police is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-5990502. Family and friends will bid a final farewell to Ashley today (Thursday) during a service in Sudbury, Ont. A trust fund has been set up for her 15-month-old daughter, Emma.

One of three coyote pups spotted by residents. Two were captured but euthanized because of illness.

Parental neglect blamed for emaciation

Too late to save coyotes Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

By the time two emaciated coyote pups were captured in a South Surrey neighbourhood, they were beyond recovery. That’s according to conservation officer Dave Cox, who told Peace Arch News Tuesday that both pups were euthanized after an assessment by the Critter Care wildlife rescue agency showed they were too ill to recover. Cox was not optimistic about a third coyote pup, equally thin, that’s managed to evade capture. “The third pup kind of vanished,” Cox said. “It’s probably not going to survive in that condition.” PAN reported Tuesday that when residents spotted the underweight coyotes in the area of 24 Avenue and 141 Street, Critter Care volunteers and conservation officers spent about a week trying to capture them using humane traps and sedative-laced food. The coyotes evaded the traps and the food only made them “woozy” Cox said. “They were still pretty fast.” Finally, one wandered into a culvert that searchers were able to block off and a second was cornered inside a barn.

Cox said both pups had a “pretty severe” case of mange that had caused extensive fur loss. He said it appears the three pups may not have been orphans as earlier believed, but were instead victims of parental neglect. The adult female they were seen with on a few occasions did not seem especially interested in them, observers reported to Cox. The pups were not moving in a group the way they would if they had an adult looking after them, Cox said. It was also evident passersby had been trying to help by feeding the pups, he added. “They would approach people, looking for handouts.” The provincial Wildlife Act forbids feeding coyotes. Residents who spoke to a reporter at the beginning of the week said the animals were observed along 24 Avenue near 141 Street for more than two weeks, occasionally bringing traffic to a stop when they crossed the road. Lisa Castle, who first noticed the young coyotes July 12, said they looked “really, really sick… very, very skinny.” The sightings were reported in an area of big houses on large lots with many trees.

Last week, resident Lynn Brandt saw two coyotes sitting on a sidewalk together and managed to get pictures of one. “It was just kind of walking around,” she said, adding that both were severely underweight. “It’s really sad.” An online BC Ministry of Environment posting notes that coyotes are usually not a threat to people, especially adults. “Problems between children and coyotes are usually the result of the coyote becoming conditioned/comfortable with people as a result of direct or indirect feeding,” the website says, indicating residents often will either give the animals treats or fail to properly secure their garbage and compost. If a coyote is acting aggressively, it should be reported by calling 1-800-663-9453. Other tips: ensure garbage and compost is inaccessible, that outdoor pet food is securely stored, fruit is picked from trees and off of the ground and any potential habitat for the rodents coyotes feed on, such as neglected yards, garages or sheds, is kept clear. A sturdy fence that is at least two metres tall and flush with the ground will discourage coyotes from entering yards.

We can only do so much to help

other Nature can be many things – magnificent, beautiful and inspiring among them. But, as anyone who has spent any time in wilderness areas can tell us, she can also seem very cruel – at least from a soft-hearted human perspective. Survival of the fittest is the hard, unyielding law of the wild, no matter how much we would wish it otherwise. Residents of the South Surrey neighbourhood at 24 Avenue and 141 Street – concerned this week about the fate of three emaciated coyote pups seen wandering for days near the roadway – showed all the commendable empathy humans can sometimes muster for our fellow creatures. Like them, we can all feel sad that two of the pups had to be euthanized after being captured and taken to Critter Care wildlife rescue agency, and that survival chances for the third are slim. But this is a case with no good outcome and no easy answers – further evidence of the complicated, out-of-sync relationship between suburban humans and the wildlife we find on our doorsteps. If the pups had been orphaned by the actions of man – as the recent death of a whale on White Rock beach could be traced to its long struggles with an entangled fishing line – we might at least have found some emotional release in blaming the encroachment of so-called civilization. Yet it appears these coyote pups were not orphaned but simply neglected by the adult female – presumably the mother – spotted with them on several occasions. The female showed no inclination to mother the pups, and that, in nature, was a virtual guarantee they would perish. In the wild, nature would have taken its course without any of us being the wiser. Could the adult coyote’s indifference in some way be an indirect result of human disturbance of nature? We will likely never know. But it’s equally sure we could not have done much to help them. Feeding coyotes – which some felt, understandably, compelled to do in this case – is actually illegal. BC Ministry of Environment guidelines note that providing food to them, either directly or by not sufficiently securing garbage, compost or pet food, can only lead to troublesome interaction later on. We must remember that coyotes are also predators by nature. Had these pups survived, would it have been only to be seen as an undesirable menace by well-meaning humans, once our domestic pets started becoming their prey?

Last week we asked...

Are sports a regular part of your life?

yes 59% no 41% 76 responding cool-down and warm-up space in addition to 50m lanes. Surrey Coun. Tom Gill says that there is room for future expansion, and in the event a competition needs more space in the meantime, temporary pools can be set up in the parking lot. I find it hard to believe that Surrey would win a bid for national swim championships when its proposal includes having the gold-medallist do warm-up laps next to a Volvo, but I digress… Gill, no doubt, has the city’s best interests in mind. And staff and council, more than most, have a firm grasp on the budget and what can and cannot be built within tight financial guidelines. So it’s easy to suggest a city build the world’s greatest anything, but another entirely to find money to make it work. But surely, somewhere between the shallow and deep ends, a compromise can be reached and differences put aside for the good of the community – and for a generation of young local athletes who will otherwise grow up training beyond city limits. If the decision to ignore the experts is driven by money, so be it. But if it’s simply stubbornness, well, get used to seeing our city’s top athletes go elsewhere. In fact, two such athletes – swimmers Richard Weinberger and Hilary Caldwell – are set to compete at the Summer Olympics in London, which begin Friday. Both now live and train in Victoria.

letters Peace Arch News

Keep an eye More reasons out for officials to leave Surrey Editor: Re: White Rock eyes waterfront cameras, June 14; Only one opposes cameras, June 28. I applaud the councillors who are proposing security cameras along the promenade and pier. Regarding monitoring, I suggest they make viewing available on a public website. Those who are no longer able to walk the promenade could monitor activities and turn in alarms when they see criminal activity, such as dog walking, penny flattening and seagull feeding. At the same time, I urge installation of 24-7 security cameras and microphones in the homes and vehicles of city councillors. This may seem drastic, but let’s face it, occasionally we hear of politicians resorting to dysfunctional activities. Some have been known to lie to electors, then renege on election promises – monitoring would help us determine if their promises were sincere or political Pablum. Other politicians have made secret deals with developers or contractors. Monitoring would guard against that. A few politicians have compromised their decisionmaking ability by drinking alcohol – former prime minister Sir John A. Macdonald indulged – and ingesting mind-altering drugs. Some politicians suffer from dementia – former president Ronald Reagan. Some have dysfunctional families which can alter their moods and perhaps compromise their decision-making ability. Twenty-four hour monitoring would reveal these lapses in behaviour and aid the voter in choosing responsible, squeaky-clean councillors at election time. Mobility-challenged seniors could monitor these cameras and raise the flag when criminal or other dysfunctional activity is spotted. No doubt this would result in much better government. Robert Ramsay, Surrey Q Re: Private rights vs. public wrongs, et al, July 5- 24 letters. Further to the letters published in the Peace Arch News, I feel compelled to add my voice. My gosh, when was the last time that you heard of a shooting, or a stabbing, or a mugging, or some other serious crime happening on our beach? This kind of thing doesn’t happen in this magical place. It’s one of the reasons we love it so much. Where’s the value of cameras? What would be prevented? There will always be fires on the beach, and as far as I know, there haven’t been any incidences to date on the promenade that would warrant cameras. Why in the world would the city want to spend money on something of no perceived value when the focus is supposed to be on eliminating waste? Aren’t parking fees high enough already? Doug E Lachance, White Rock

Editor: Regarding “the future lives here,” my future doesn’t live in Surrey. In fact, finding a place to live outside of Surrey will be one of my first priorities after graduating early from secondary school this winter. There are simply more reasons to go than to stay. Choosing to live in an area of Vancouver, Burnaby or Richmond will allow me to live closer to everything I will need to maintain an affordable and productive lifestyle. I regularly hear from friends who have taken this path. They love their new homes for many reasons, like: closer/better employment opportunities, improved safety and a better ability to get around by transit. I want to see communities that are truly safe, sustainable, livable, affordable and well-connected with competitive and reliable rapid transit. I do not see such communities in Surrey. The city’s current growth planning strategies – i.e. the continued buildup of far-fromtransit, far-from-everything sprawl communities in Grandview Heights, Anniedale, Port Kells and other locations – can largely be blamed for this lack. The current and future citizens of these communities are not going to get what they need. While wildlife habitats in forest areas are being destroyed for these communities, there are several

empty grass-field lots sitting in the middle of the urbanized, developed areas in Surrey that have the most potential and already-existing access to services and decent transportation. What about those? I am confident that, despite the challenging population growth Surrey is expected to receive, the right planning decisions can be made towards the achievement of true livability in Surrey. However, until those decisions are actually made, effort is improved and I see results, I would like to encourage young and aspiring students of this city looking to live sustainable, affordable and productive future lives to follow me “across the river.” If Surrey wants to be known for its tagline, “the future lives here”, and become a place where families can truly come to live together while allowing for every individual’s goals and needs to be met, then the citizens will need reasons to stay. They will need safe, complete and livable communities. Daryl Dela Cruz, Surrey

Questions over zoning process Editor: Re: Fourth storey a concern in White Rock, July 19. With reference to the city granting a CD zoning to the property on Roper Street, I would just like to say that the White Rock city manager states that this project is only going to be four feet higher than is

currently allowed. How do you build a four-storey building, with the ground floor being built at grade level, and end up being only four feet higher than a three-storey building? My other concern is that if there is a fire or some other disaster in the homes closest to the entrance of the property, how will other residents be evacuated, as there is only one entrance/exit to the projects? The developer has stated that the plan is to acquire the third lot, but this has not been accomplished. Why would the city grant an OK until the developer had legal ownership to the third lot and these safety concerns could be addressed? Gale Dawson, White Rock

Watching out for each other Editor: I would like to thank the enormously kind person who found my watch. Last Sunday I attended a matinee at the Rialto Theatre with friends. On arriving in the theatre, I realized I’d lost my watch. Upon returning to the car, my friend saw my watch carefully placed on the hood. It had apparently slipped off my wrist while getting out of the car. I was especially appreciative of having it returned, as it was a Christmas gift. How good and kind people are, and I offer my most sincere thanks. Doris Davidson, Surrey

Pets, wildlife a sad combination Editor: I am deeply saddened by the fact of how many around us are not aware of the beautiful and precious wildlife, including eagles and herons, on our White Rock, South Surrey and Boundary Bay beaches. I have witnessed irresponsible dog owners allowing their dogs to chase eagles and herons at low tide. On Saturday, July 21, on the South Surrey beach, I

witnessed a dog owner actually pointing at the herons as a command for the dog to chase them. This is completely unacceptable behaviour. We are fortunate to have designated dog parks in addition to beach areas for dogs, is this not sufficient? I am appealing to the public to preserve our precious environment and to keep dogs on leashes in those area. Christian Sasse, Surrey

Roper project put on hold Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Developers behind a proposed seven-unit townhouse project on Roper Avenue in White Rock have put their plans on hold. Paul Stanton, the city’s director of planning and development services, confirmed Monday that the applicants have asked for a deferral “while they reconsider their proposals and lower the building heights.” Height was a key issue among residents who spoke against the project proposed for 15374 and 15382 Roper Ave. – which the applicants had wanted to build four feet higher than existing zoning allows, to enable “flex rooms” and rooftop decks – during a July 16 public hearing. Council had been expected to consider the amendments Monday night, but the matter was pulled from the agenda following the deferral request. At the public hearing, a history of drainage issues with one of the two lots in question was also named as a concern. Stanton explained at an earlier meeting that that problem was linked to an older storm sewer connection, and the lack of

A history of drainage problems in the area of a proposed townhouse complex were cited at Monday’s public hearing. a backwash valve. Rectifying that issue is a condition of a development permit for the site, he said. Concerns with the water issue were raised anew late last week, after water appeared during demolition and excavation efforts. While some residents suggested

it was a further sign of the problem, Stanton said it was the result of heavy rain Friday morning. The land owners have since filled and leveled the site as required, he said. Coun. Al Campbell, who checked out the site Friday with Coun. Larry Robinson, described the decision to defer the project as “a very smart move.” He suggested a “way more sensible” plan would also implement the lot at the corner of Best Street and Roper Avenue, which Robinson noted would enable the project to hook up to the higher-capacity Best Street storm system. “Every development on that street has encountered problems with the water,” Campbell said. Owners of that “orphan” lot reportedly live out of the country and have not responded to interests in purchasing the property. No date has been set for the project to come back to council, but residents who neighbour the properties in question say they are hopeful that the water issue will be fixed before anything more is approved.

I had not seen my mother for a number of years, and when I heard she was ailing I persuaded her to let me move into her house. Over the next 4 to 6 months she transferred a couple of large bank accounts to me. She did not tell my brother and sisters that she had done this, although they lived not far away and visited her regularly. My mother died not long after this was done. My brother and sisters have confronted me with these transactions. I told them that my mother gifted them to me, and I told them that because my mom was dead they had no evidence to the contrary. I think I am home free. Do you agree?

Nope. The onus is on you to prove that the transfers of the bank accounts are not a result of your position of control over your mother. If there is no evidence one way or another about your mother’s state of mind and intentions, the Court has no choice but to rule against you, and will order the bank accounts be returned to the estate.

Unsuccessful, he returned home, telling his family the scratches on his face were from falling after the crash. By then, the family realized Tejinder was missing. Kamaljit washed his shirt of her blood and called police to report her missing. He also called her friends, pretending to look for her. The RCMP searched the couple’s home near 130 Street and English Place in Newton but failed to find Tejinder. Later in the day, they asked Kamaljit to come to the police station to provide a photo of his wife. They proceeded to interview him for six hours, during which time they asked him what he’d say if his son asked, “Dad, did you kill mom?” Within seconds, Kamaljit confessed. In a victim impact statement read in court by Yamashiro, Tejinder’s father said the family’s world has been destroyed. “That was the day my spirit died forever.” Two of Tejinder’s sisters also submitted statements, one calling herself a “broken person,” and the other saying her life is

Sitting in the plexiglass prisoner’s box, Kamaljit, with a full beard and white head scarf, wiped tears from his face upon hearing his son’s words. Later, he stood in court and issued an apology to the Tejinder’s family and “above all” his kids. “It was my mistake,” Kamaljit said. “I wish I could go back in time and change those two seconds of my life.” He said he is working to forgive himself, but even if he does, won’t forget what he’s done. Peck said Kamaljit, who has no prior criminal record, has taken several courses to better himself in prison, has a dedicated job, and has never applied for parole. “Is he an evil person?

Members of the BC Cultural Bhangra Academy perform on the Celebration Stage at the City of Surrey’s Fusion Festival Sunday at Holland Park in North Surrey. The two-day festival attracted thousands to take in international music, food and culture.

ost days, Curtis Connolly can be found working in the furniture section of the PricePro store operated by the Welcome Home Addiction Recovery Academy, fielding calls on the wireless phone clipped to his belt. The Newton rehab facility has been the 28-year-old’s home for the past 10 months. Connolly, who grew up in Richmond and Vancouver, is battling an addiction to prescription painkillers that began while he was playing high school football. He was spiraling downward, getting involved with the criminal underworld and unable to fix himself, when he found out about the intensive two-year program offered by Welcome Home from an aunt who read about it online. “I needed to change everything in my life, not just take away the prescription drugs,” Connolly says. “I needed to understand the behaviours behind why I was using the drugs.” Connolly is making progress. He was recently elected student council president at the Academy, representing other students with any issues they need addressed. On Aug. 12, he will take part in the Run for Recovery in Surrey to show support for the program. “It will mean a lot because I’m running for a cause I believe in,” Connolly says. The second annual run, sponsored by PricePro, Diamond Delivery and The Running Room, includes 5K and 10K routes for all skill levels, from runners to walkers. The opening ceremony is set for 9 a.m. in the parking lot of PricePro at 6911 King George Hwy. Welcome Home’s founder, John Volken is scheduled to speak. Volken started the John Volken

Curtis Connolly takes a call in the Price Pro store furniture section. Connelly is participating in the Aug. 12 10K Run for Recovery. Foundation after selling his retail chain of 150 stores. The foundation funds Welcome Home, which aims to produce a full, permanent recovery with a long-term, residential, abstinencebased model that tackles the root causes of addiction. “I felt very passionate about creating this foundation to address the devastation of drug and alcohol addiction,” Volken says. “We are here to stop the hurt and help people turn their lives around. We provide all the tools they need.” Following the run, the public is invited to come out for a familyfreindly community festival starting at 11 a.m. and running until 3 p.m. It will feature live music, dancing, face painting, food, refreshments and more. Local artists Alexandria Maillot and Danny Echo are scheduled to perform. Businesses and community organizations are invited to sponsor booths at the festival and share in the community spirit of the event.

Surrey Foundation’s Youth Empowering Surrey (YES) Team perform their first “Random Act of Kindness.”

Youth team surprises Organic Connections Café

Saying YES to being kind A South Surrey café that promotes local, organic cuisine was the target of the first local random act of kindness by the Surrey Foundation’s Youth Empowering Surrey (YES) team. The teen members of the team, along with volunteers from the Staples Advantage Business Development team

and the community, arrived at the Organic Connections Café on Marine Drive July 18. They spent the day sprucing up the exterior of the café, a 100-per-cent organic vegan/vegetarian establishment that strives to source local and organic produce. Organic Connections Café posted an appreciation on their

Facebook page to “Kim and Team YES and Scott and his Staples team and everyone else that participated in cleaning up our beach cafe. Job well done.” The YES Team comprises young people 15 to 18 years old who operate their random-actsof-kindness program

as part of the Surrey Foundation mission statement that calls for making “a positive and lasting impact on the quality of community life in Surrey.” Since its inception in 1994, the Surrey Foundation has disbursed over $1 million to registered charities in the city.

Jack and Arleen Mar celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on July 7.

Couple marks 50th with tropical party Family and friends from all over Canada and the United States came together July 7 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of a Peninsula couple. Jack and Arleen Mar, who are both active in the community with organizations like CARP, Block Watch and the South Surrey White Rock Chamber of Commerce, married in Calgary on June 9, 1962. However, to accommodate family coming from all over to celebrate,

the couple decided to hold their 50th anniversary party on the later date as to not conflict with the school year. Relatives from across the country and beyond, including Iowa, Oregon and California, marked the milestone with a Hawaiian-themed banquet and dance at the Pacific Inn hotel. But it’s not time to pack the leis just yet. The Mars plan to continue the Hawaiian celebration with a trip to their favourite destination, Waikiki.

On Sunday morning, a car seen driving erratically collided with a bus stop in Newton. At 11 a.m. Sunday, witnesses said they saw the car weaving and disobeying stop signs before it drove into a bus shelter at 64 Avenue and King George Boulevard. Fortunately, no one was at the bus stop at the time. Alcohol was not believed to be a factor in the accident, police say. The driver has been taken into custody, and recommendations of criminal charges are being forwarded to Crown counsel for consideration.

A car collided with a hydro pole in Newton last weekend, knocking the power pole down. At about 8:30 a.m. Sunday, a black Infinity SUV was heading down 88 Avenue near 148 Street when it smashed into two fences and sheared a power pole. When police arrived, the vehicle had been vacated. Witnesses said they saw two people leaving the scene on foot. Police are looking for the occupants of that vehicle.

news Voluntary program allows variable corkage fees

Bring-your-own wine in B.C. Jeff Nagel Black Press

Diners can now bring their own bottle of wine to participating restaurants in B.C.. The new Bring Your Own Wine program was unveiled last week by Rich Coleman, the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minister in charge of liquor regulation. He said it offers patrons the ability to have any wine they want with their dinner and should spur more business for restaurants. A big part of the lure will be the savings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; restaurants typically double the price of a bottle from a liquor store â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but a big chunk of that will likely be eaten up by a â&#x20AC;&#x153;corkage feeâ&#x20AC;? restaurants will be allowed to charge for service. Corkage fees might be $15 or more at some restaurants, which will be free to set their own rates or charge none at all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By allowing people to bring their own bottle of wine into their favourite dining establishment, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve provided restaurant owners with a great opportunity to create a new type of dining experience that will further promote our wonderful restaurants here in British Columbia,â&#x20AC;? Coleman said. Ian Tostenson, president and CEO of the B.C. Restaurant and Food Service Association, predicts most B.C. restaurants will embrace the BYO option, not just ones that carry small wine selections. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the majority of restaurants will do it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I

It is all about hospitality, welcoming guests and creating a good guest experience.â&#x20AC;? He said $15 to $20 is typical of the corkage fees charged by restaurants in other jurisdictions. Quebec has long had an Apportez Votre Vin program that operates in the same way, as do Ontario, Alberta, Washington and California. Asked if high-end restaurants are bracing for a flood of economy-minded customers who arrive with cheap U-Brew wine, Tostenson said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nah, wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen. Or if they do theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still pay their $15 to

$20.â&#x20AC;? He predicted the change could boost restaurant attendance two per cent, adding $20 million to industry sales in B.C. Licensees are still liable if patrons are over-served or liquor service is provided to minors. Coleman said B.C. has no plans to broaden the program to beer and spirits. Bring Your Own is the latest in a series of changes to B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liquor laws. The province is now allowing movie theatres to apply for liquor licences and has also modernized old rules that barred crossborder wine shipments.

news Province lays out preconditions for Enbridge, Kinder Morgan

B.C. seeks more oil safeguards Jeff Nagel

No swaying NDP

Black Press

The B.C. government is demanding extensive pipeline and coastal tanker safeguards as well as a bigger share of cash benefits for the province and First Nations as preconditions for considering any new oil pipeline. The announcement applies not just to Enbridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Northern Gateway pipeline proposal across northern B.C. to Kitimat but also to the proposed twinning of Kinder Morganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existing Trans Mountain pipeline that diagonals southwest through B.C. and runs through the Lower Mainland to a Burnaby terminal. Both projects would greatly increase the ability of oil companies to export crude oil through B.C. and via tanker to Asia, reducing reliance on the U.S. market. The provincial government has found itself caught between a public deeply concerned about spill risks and enormous pressure from Alberta and the federal government to allow a new westward outlet for Canadian oil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want a fair share of the benefits in order to be considered partners in a project like this,â&#x20AC;? Environment Minister Terry Lake said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given that British Columbia would shoulder 100 per cent of the marine risk and a significant portion of the land-based risk we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel the current approach to sharing these benefits is appropriate.â&#x20AC;? He did not spell out B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s price on royalty sharing, but said that would rest on discussions between Premier Christy Clark and the prime minister and premiers

NDP leader Adrian Dix, who has vowed to pursue a legal strategy to block the Enbridge project, said his party will continue to oppose it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no matter what deal might be struck. B.C. is 10 months away from a provincial election that could elect the NDP, which opposes Northern Gateway under any circumstances. Dix said Northern Gateway is a non-starter because it would require consenting to tanker traffic on the north coast. The Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs Grand Chief Stewart Phillip said most First Nations are opposed to the pipeline, adding â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about the money, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the environment.â&#x20AC;? of Alberta and Saskatchewan. B.C. wants Ottawa to insist industry provide provide a bigger marine spill response â&#x20AC;&#x201C; up from the current 70,000 barrel capacity to something closer to the 300,000 barrel spill response mandated by Alaska. The province also envisions a levy charged on each barrel of oil shipped that would help fund cleanup responses. A land-based industry spill response co-op will also be proposed, similar to the Western Canada Marine Response Corp. thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charged with offshore response. Ship owner insurance and industry funding available for a spill response totals $1.3 billion in Canada, according to the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s findings, while the equivalent U.S.

fund is approaching $4 billion. Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation Minister Mary Polak said B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insistence on greater aboriginal participation and compliance with their rights does not extend to a First Nations veto over new pipelines. Lake noted Enbridge last week committed up to $500 million in further safety upgrades to Northern Gateway â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including thicker pipe walls than previously proposed as well as more round-the-clock spill monitoring staff along the route. That move followed a damning U.S. report on the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 spill in Michigan. B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five preconditions are successful completion of the federal environmental review; a world-leading marine oil spill prevention, response and recovery system; world-leading land spill prevention and response measures; the addressing of aboriginal and treaty rights, including First Nation participation and benefits; and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fair shareâ&#x20AC;? of the fiscal and economic benefits of a proposed heavy oil project that reflects the elevated risk to B.C. The $5.5-billion Enbridge project includes one pipeline carrying heavy oil west to Kitimat and a second one to import condensate used to thin the bitumen. Kinder Morganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $4-billion Trans Mountain twinning would boost its capacity from 300,000 barrels per day now to 750,000. Most would go to export, bringing 300 oil tankers a year through Burrard Inlet. The province calculates only eight per cent of tax benefits would flow to B.C. while it would bear 58 per cent of the landbased risk and all the marine spill risk.

news System not yet in place to relay information to police

New law aims to thwart metal thieves Jeff Nagel Black Press

New B.C. regulations clamping down on metal theft are now in effect, but nobody’s predicting the scourge will be wiped out any time soon. Scrap-metal buyers now must keep a daily log of their purchases and suppliers, who have to provide identification, be registered and, for amounts over $50, can only be paid by cheque. The Metal Dealers and Recyclers Act aims to plug gaps in the patchwork of different municipal bylaws drawn up by cities to try to combat wire theft. “Hopefully we’ve landed at a place where we have something that will work effectively,” said provincial spokesman and Chilliwack MLA John Les, adding the government will consider further changes if necessary. “There are some awfully wily people out there who are sometimes pretty clever in figuring out the workarounds.” While bylaws have helped reduce unscrupulous salvage metal buying in a dozen Lower Mainland cities, wire and other objects are still pilfered in those areas and then resold where no bylaws exist. Despite having a bylaw, the City of Surrey alone incurred nearly $3 million in losses last year and media stings have found spotty compliance among local dealers. Telus pegs its losses to metal thieves at $16 million last year – resulting in phone-service outages that left customers unable to use 911 in emergencies – and the firm is averaging an incident each day so far this year. “We hope it will be a turning point in the

He wouldn’t estimate how much Telus might pare its losses, but said the company would be happy if it could halt the steady climb in metal-theft incidents.

Everything from phone and power lines to phone booths and manhole covers get dragged in to metal salvagers, mainly by prolific offenders in search of drug money. Provincial inspectors will also do periodic spot checks of the more than 120 scrap metal dealers in B.C. to ensure they register and

comply with the rules. Violators face fines of up to $100,000 and possible jail time. The regulations cover not just wire – the main target of thieves – but other specific metal objects like traffic lights, signs, sewer grates and metal grave markers. Municipalities and utilities had been lobbying for action since at least 2006. Questions abound over how much use police will be able to make of the information collected by buyers to pursue suspected thieves. Dealers are supposed to relay the information on what they buy daily and police can compare that to reports of stolen items and then get a court order for more information as needed. Surrey RCMP Supt. Bill Fordy said greater dealer accountability will give police more scope to investigate. “If we see a pattern of persons bringing in items to a certain contact, it gives us a point to initiate an investigation and we can go from there,” Fordy said. Surrey RCMP recently arrested a pair of prolific offenders with 700 pounds of copper wire and busted another 35 metal theft suspects last year. Fordy admitted a planned system for scrap dealers around the province to electronically send their buyer logs to local police isn’t yet in place and he had no estimate of when it will be ready. “It is a priority – we’ll deal with it as quickly as we can.” Critics in the recycling industry contend the rules put too much onus on them instead of the thieves.

SURREY’S STREET TREES

Trees are thirsty too! Summer is here; the weather is warm; and the trees on your street and in your yard need water. Like us, trees need long refreshing drinks of water to stay healthy. Here’s what you can do to help your neighbourhood street trees and the trees in your yard this summer: 1. Water the trees twice a week. 2. Water thoroughly at the base of the trees for 15 minutes. 3. Water during the cooler parts of the day (early morning and dusk) and when it isn’t raining. 4. Water slowly so that the water has time to soak into the dry soil and reach the roots, instead of pooling on the surface. For more information about street trees, please call 604.501.5050 For more information about private trees, please call 604.591.4675

CASH FOR GOLD Bring your Gold… Leave with CASH!

Jeff Nagel Black Press

Idiotic, dangerous driving seems more prevalent in B.C. than anywhere else in Canada, according to a new poll. The national survey of drivers by Angus Reid Public Opinion found 95 per cent of B.C. drivers spotted others talking on cellphones in the past month, more than in any other region and well above the national average of 90 per cent. B.C. respondents also reported above-average rates of drivers speeding (93 per cent), tailgating (83 per cent), turning without signalling (85 per cent), changing lanes without warning (83 per cent) and running red lights (63 per cent). Seventy-one per cent had spotted a driver multitasking – such as reading, checking text messages or applying make-up – compared to 65 per cent across Canada. “There’s a lot of bad behaviour we’re seeing on the streets,” said Angus Reid vice-president Mario Canseco, who is based in Vancouver and reports similar observations himself. He said the apparent rate of illegal cellphone

B.C. drivers are still using cell phones. use is shocking considering B.C. has outlawed the practice for more than two years. “It’s just bizarre that we keep seeing people using their cellphones,” he said. Canseco noted 81 per cent of B.C. respondents said only a few of the drivers in their city were bad drivers, while 19 per cent said most to all others on the road were bad. He said that result – better than the national average – suggests motorists here on the whole are fairly safe but a few particularly reckless drivers are highly visible. Other findings of the poll found 43 per cent of B.C. motorists said they’ve honked their horn at a bad driver, 27 per cent swore, 18 per cent waved their fist, arm or hands, 16 per cent made an obscene gesture and nine per cent called police.

arts & entertainment …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Peninsula artists set to play at the Celebration of Arts July 28-29

Local talent to perform in Fort Langley A

n arts event coming up this weekend in Fort Langley just happens to be full of White Rock and South Surreybased talent. And until the Semiahmoo Peninsula can again come up with comparably varied multi-artist showcases, and the community and business Alex Browne support to make them happen, the stellar line-up is a compelling argument for driving the few miles out of town to catch the event. The Fort Langley Celebration of the Arts comes to three venues in the picturesque, historic village July 28-29, featuring, among its headliners, noted jazz pianist Amanda Tosoff, popular jazz and blues man Willie MacCalder and his band, famed classical music exponents the Bergmann Piano Duo and dynamic gospel and blues artist John Lee Sanders and his band. Semiahmoo Secondary grad Tosoff, who has gone on to a distinguished international career in jazz, will share an improvisational Afternoon of Poetry and Music at the Centennial Museum (9135 King St., 2:30 p.m. Saturday) with wellknown poet and BC Book Prize finalist Susan McCaslin, who has previously been featured in Semiahmoo Arts’ series of reading events (admission by donation). Boogie and barrelhouse piano expert MacCalder – a frequent past performer at Marine Drive venues – will mix blues, R&B and jazz influences for a Saturday night concert (8 p.m.) at Fort Langley

Gospel and blues artist John Lee Sanders is set to play the Fort Langley Celebration of Arts July 28-29. Community Hall, 9167 Glover Rd. (tickets $10). “We’ll clear a little place in the hall for those who find the music irresistible to get up and dance,” promised Celebration of the Arts committee chair David James. The award-winning South Surrey-based duo of Marcel and Elizabeth Bergmann, have been regulars on the international concert circuit since 1989, will get Sunday’s program off to a gentle, uplifting start with a morning concert at 11 a.m. at the community hall (tickets $10). The hall will also be the venue for White Rock’s Memphis-raised, world-travelled Sanders, who will

treat the audience to an afternoon of his distinctly Southernflavoured blues and gospel, starting at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday (tickets $10). Rounding out the weekend’s program will be children’s imagination crafts at 11 a.m., Saturday at the Chief Sepass Theatre foyer (Langley Fine Arts School, 9096 Trattle St.), Juno award-winning children’s entertainer Norman Foote, also at the theatre at 1 p.m., Saturday (tickets $8), and a session with the Langley Luminosity storytelling group at the commmunity hall at 5 p.m., Sunday (tickets $5). All ticketed events are included

in a multi-event pass that can be purchased for $30, and plans are for artists to exhibit works and paint en plein air at several of the event venues, particularly the community hall. James said the vision for the Fort Langley celebration is for an even larger and more diverse event in future – he would also like dance and drama to be incorporated, and more formal displays of art – but said the immediate aim was to produce something manageable for the first year. “We have this small, beautiful, historic village, so we were looking for something that could only really happen there,” the retired

university and college biology professor said. “What we have in mind is a special kind of festival that integrates the arts.” His inspiration, he said, is some lines by the poet W.B. Yeats: “I would have all the arts draw together, recover their ancient association, the painter painting what the poet has written, the musicians setting the poet’s words to simple airs, that the horse-man and engine-driver may sing at their work.” “I grew up in Wales (in the village of Cwm Twrch Isaf) in an environment of liberalism and music,” he added, noting that he was a keen choral singer as a member of the Welsh League of Youth. That all stopped at the age of 13 with a serious determination to concentrate on the sciences, which eventually took him the University of Wales in Aberystwyth, and a teaching career both in Britain and Canada. His enthusiasm for the arts never waned, however, and after moving to Fort Langley 26 years ago he became one of the founders of the Fort Langley Festival of Performing Arts. After early years of success, James said, that initiative has “diminished somewhat into a number of yearround events.” But since his retirement from Kwantlen University in 2000, James has found a renewed interest in organizing an annual festival, more time to spend planning it and an enthusiastic board that includes Elizabeth Bergmann, Kwantlen music professor Don Hlus, visual artist Judy Nygren, visual artist and playwright Elaine Brewer-White and famed jazz musician Jack Stafford.

arts & entertainment Port Moody couple latest additions to band … yo u r l i fe s t y l e d e s t i n at i o n

New members revive O’Hara Lane Alex Browne Arts Reporter

O’Hara Lane has risen from the ashes – the band, that is, not the well-known Crescent Beach thoroughfare. Drummer John Hovan’s newly-revived group will be showcased this Saturday (July 28) at the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240, 2643 128 St. After weathering numerous local incarnations of the group over the the years, Hovan was on the verge of disbanding O’Hara Lane a few months ago – until his long-time associate, bassist and vocalist Greg Koop, introduced him to Port Moody’s Michelle and Darren McLean. The dynamic singing of Michelle and the creative guitar licks of her husband, Darren have given new life to the enterprise, bonding instantly with the solid rhythm section of Hovan and Koop to create an exciting new sound and feel. The combination had its informal local debut June 2 at the fundraiser for Ellaray – the young South Surrey girl who continues to undergo multiple surgeries to correct a rare skin condition. And judging by the enthusiastic crowd response to the new sound at that event, also

Joining O’Hara Lane has been a boost for the McLeans too, she said – the quintessential right combination of circumstances at the right time. “We’ve known Greg for around 20 years – we used to play together in a band years ago,” she said. “He phoned Darren and I and said ‘do you want to jam some

time?’ We did and we had a great time – so great that we wondered ‘why aren’t we doing this again?’ “We ended up going over to Johnny’s place one night and jamming and the energetic feel of the chemistry blew our socks off. We’ve never jammed like that where it jelled so well.” The fact that they are all seasoned players has been important – adding to the feeling they get that everyone has been playing together for years, Michelle said. That’s literally the case with herself and Darren, she added. “He actually took guitar lessons from my stepfather – I’ve

known him since I was 10 years old,” she said. “When I was 17, I went to audition for a band I met him again and found out he was already in the band,” she said. “We ended up being in another band together, which is when we met with Greg.” The reaction O’Hara Lane received at the fundraiser for Ellaray was an instant confirmation the new combination could connect with an audience, Michelle said. “It was pretty incredible,” she said. “We were there for a specific reason, to respect and support Ellaray, but musically, I think it’s fair to say we brought the house down. The floor was packed and everybody was dancing. “All of this has been almost as if it is inevitable.” The instant rapport they struck with Hovan also has something to do with the fact that they’re all at a similar place in their lives, Michelle said. “I think as careers and families and money take precedence, we all tend to put music on a back-burner for a while. But, whatever the reason, now is the time to do it again.” Doors open at 8 p.m. with the show at 9 p.m. For ticket information, call 604-535-1080.

The good news is that White Rock author Donald Chivers’ new novel, Prorogatio: Only The Chosen, is all over the web. You can buy a hard copy of his self-published book online from all of the international incarnations of Amazon or download a Kindle version. The not-so-good news is that whoever tagged it for multiple online listings in the Spirituality/ Inspirational category is either enjoying a long-extended lunch, or didn’t bother to read past the first couple of pages. Whatever else Chivers’ tense page-turner is, it’s wasn’t conceived as a spiritual or inspirational tract. Quite the opposite, in fact – especially considering Chivers strongly atheistic views, forged partly in the desperate fires of the Second World War, in which the softspoken native of Cardiff, South Wales served in the British Army in the India and Burma campaigns. Prorogatio: Only The Chosen is, in fact, a futuristic doomsday thriller, as the 87-yearold author will be happy to discuss in two upcoming book-signing events – July 28 at 2 p.m. at the South Surrey Library and July 30 at 2 p.m. at White Rock Community Centre (Miramar Village). The taut, economically-written narrative draws on his experience as a former hospital administrator – and unashamed iconoclast – to tell a story of former U.S. government agent Steve Klassen who, commissioned by two former presidents, uncovers multiple layers of deception in the medical and political establishment in the year 2025, around secret efforts to prolong life and, ultimately, achieve immortality for the human race. It’s an often grim shocker, but Chivers was well aware, in writing it, that real life is rapidly overtaking fiction. “If I’d written it 30 years ago, it would have

been science fiction,” he said. “But we’ve got all of the technology I discuss today. The science in the book is actually possible, although the story is fictional.” With a certain irony, the novel also turns around a Jewish scientist’s long-hidden secret – paid for in human blood during the time of the Third Reich in Germany, only to wind up hidden in the dust of the Golan Heights during the SixDay War of 1967. If this sounds like Clive Cussler/Robert Ludlum territory, Chivers won’t disagree. Both authors have been influences, he acknowledges. But the twists and turns of his provocative plot have significant roots in two earlier books of outspoken opinion, now out of print, with which Chivers had some success under the nomde-plume John Cleverly. Who’s Pulling Your Strings? – Behaviour in the Misinformation Age was a controversial analysis of society and history that challenged a lot of accepted beliefs, while Medical Larceny and the Coming of Caring Technology used his insider’s knowledge to skewer the chaotic ineffectiveness of socialized medicine while arguing for the use of technology to determine diagnostic and remedial efficiency. Chivers acknowledges that some of his beliefs have also been sparked by the story of the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls – recounted in Who’s Pulling Your Strings? – and how the efforts of scholars became an extended exercise in suppressing facts about earlier versions of Christian doctrine. He’s written nine books in all. Not all have seen the light of day – although one project, another volume of opinion he plans to call Random Thoughts of a Canadian Patriot, seems a front-runner. “That gives me lots of scope to write,” he said. But he is satisfied with the economy and entertainment value he achieved in Prorogatio, particularly in contrast with its immediate

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

The Semiahmoo Peninsula will be represented at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London by (left to right), Richard Weinberger, Maeve Glass, Christine Girard and Hilary Caldwell.

2012 Summer Olympics set to begin Friday

Peninsula Olympians set for London Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

hree Semiahmoo Peninsula athletes and one longtime soccer executive are in Jolly Old England this week, wearing the Maple Leaf as they prepare to represent Canada at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. The quartet is led by two swimmers – Hilary Caldwell and Richard Weinberger, both former members of the South Surreybased Pacific Sea Wolves Swim Club who now live and train in Victoria. Caldwell, 21, will swim the women’s 200-m backstroke at the Summer Olympics, while the 22-year-old Weinberger will swim the 10-km open-water race in London’s Hyde Park. Joining the swimming pair at the Games, which begin Friday and run until Aug. 12, will be White Rock weightlifter Christine Girard – who is one of Canada’s best hopes for a medal – and former Peace Arch Soccer president Maeve Glass, who will serve as the equipment manager for Canada’s women’s national soccer team.

In 2008, Surrey sent 11 athletes to the Olympic Games in Beijing, while White Rock’s Leon Boyd, who holds dual citizenship, was a pitcher for the Netherland’s baseball team. Girard, a Quebec native who moved to White Rock four years ago, is the only one of the three athletes with previous Olympic experience, having narrowly missed the podium in 2008, finishing fourth overall in Beijing. Glass was also in Beijing in 2008 with the Canadian soccer program. If Girard is to make it to the podium in London, it will mark the first time a Canadian woman has won a weightlifting medal at the Olympics. And her resumé certainly suggests a top-three finish is a possibility. Girard, 27, is a Commonwealth and Pan-Am Games champion, and she currently holds Canadian junior and senior records in her weight class. In London, she’ll compete in the 63-kg division, which takes place on July 31. Last fall, once she’d qualified for the Olympics after a winning turn at the senior

ABBOTSFORD ABB AB BBOTSFORD INTERNATIONAL INTERNATIONA AL

world championships, Girard told Black Press she had a mix of confidence and nerves with the Summer Olympics on the horizon. “It’s good to be on a high, but the doubt is always there,” she said. “We always (have) doubt and we are always confident at the same time. It is a good mix of emotions.” Like Girard, Weinberger also has a shot at an Olympic medal, and though his competition is understandably fierce, he has had success on the Hyde Park swim course before. Last summer, Weinberger – who punched his ticket to London after winning silver at a 10-km qualifier in Portugal in June – finished first at a test event held on the Olympic 10-km course. Last summer, he added to his medal collection with a win at the Pan-American Games, while also winning silver and bronze on the World Cup circuit. Weinberger will have to wait until near the end of the Olympics for his chance at the podium – the 10-km open-water swim is scheduled for Aug. 10.

Caldwell will be in the pool Aug. 2 for the 200-m backstroke, with the finals set for the following day. She qualified for the Olympics earlier this summer, after a silver-medal finish at national team trials in Montreal. Her time in the 200-m backstroke, two minutes and 9.1 seconds, also set a new B.C. senior provincial record. For Glass, the Olympic Games are nothing new. Not only did the longtime soccer president serve as Canada’s soccer equipment manager last year, she, as a 16-year-old, was also part of B.C.’s torch relay in the run-up to the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal. Her mother, Surrey school trustee Pam Glass, was also part of Ireland’s women’s 4x100 relay team at the 1948 Olympics which, coincidentally, were also held in London. “Since I was a kid, I’ve been an Olympic junkie, so to be going as an accredited staff member is just surreal,” Maeve told Peace Arch News prior to the 2008 Games. - with files from Gary Ahuja

A paddleboarder takes advantage of the warm weather during a Sunday-morning paddle July 8. Paddleboarding will be featured at the Spirit of the Sea Festival next month, with both races and demonstrations planned for the August long weekend.

Paddleboards coming to Sea Fest Sports Reporter

Paddleboarding has been added to next month’s Spirit of the Sea Festival, giving the annual event a sports twist. Through the Sea Festival weekend, which runs Aug. 3-6, a number of paddleboarding demonstrations and how-to clinics will be held at White Rock beach, and a pair of races will also hit the water. At 5 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 4, the Spirit of the Sea Relay Challenge will kick off, giving local companies, groups or teams the chance to compete against each other on a

course near the White Rock Pier. Then, on Sunday, the Sundog Semiahmoo SUP (stand-up paddleboard) Classic will be held, beginning with a beach start before heading out into the bay on a sevenkm loop. No experience is necessary to take part in the demos, clinics and the relay challenge, as the event aims to introduce the sport to newcomers. “We thought, ‘let’s just run some races and let some people get out there and have some fun on the water,’” said festival president Matt Todd, who added that a goal

of this year’s event is to get people more involved in activities, rather than simply acting as spectators. The competitive paddleboard races will be co-ordinated by Scott Robertson, owner of Sundog Adventure Sports in South Surrey. Robertson said he’s expecting a strong turnout for the races, with paddleboarders coming from as far away as Oregon and Vancouver Island. “Hopefully we’ll get a lot of people out, get a good turnout,” he said.

Appia Development able to start sales

SOLO District gets city approval Appia Development’s newest community has been given the green light by the City of Burnaby to begin sales, which it did on Saturday, July 21. “We’ve already had an overwhelming response from people all around the Lower Mainland about SOLO District,” says Appia President Jim Bosa. “We’ve had several thousand people visit our sales centre to preview the units over the past few weeks. We’re now excited to be able to start selling.” Short for South Of Lougheed, SOLO will include 1,400 suites in four towers ranging from 38 to 55 storeys, a Whole Foods, large rooftop garden, pedestrian pathways, elevated dog park and other

commercial and retail spaces, among other things. The Brentwood SkyTrain station is right across the street. “We firmly believe that SOLO District is poised to change the way we live in the Lower Mainland,” says George Wong of Magnum Projects. “SOLO District will have everything anyone needs within a short distance. Buyers will not only get access to fresh produce at Whole Foods, but easily accessible transit via the SkyTrain, short commutes to downtown Vancouver (and) car-sharing options through Modo.” For more information, visit www. solodistrict.com or call 604-298-8800.

The large dining room table sits in front of a fireplace, surrounded by windows to showcase the mountain all around you. A deck wraps halfway around the home, and an outdoor fireplace and hot tub will also be part of the grand prize. The great room beside the kitchen has its own fireplace and curved windows, letting natural light pour into the home. “It doesn’t feel like a show home,” says Harris. “I wanted to give it a cozy feel. The home gives you a hug.” Outside, the home will fit perfectly into the mountain surroundings, with its rustic architecture and large windows. That rustic architecture continues inside. Homey stone walls, cork flooring and exposed wooden beams are featured throughout, really

giving you the atmosphere of being in a ski lodge. “I started designing a dream house for people, but this is really my dream house,” Harris says. “It’s my dream (ensuite) bathroom, my dream bedroom, everything ... It was important that this home pulls at your heart strings. It has to make your heart go pitter patter.” The Prize Home can be viewed at the PNE from Aug. 18 onwards, or on Aug. 5 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Tickets are $25 for 5 or $50 for 15. For more information visit www. pne.ca/pneprizehome. Tickets can be purchased online, by phone or in person at the PNE. The winner’s name will be announced on Sept. 12. “I am so jealous of the person who wins,” Harris says.

A home away from home

PNE Prize Home makes your heart go pitter patter by Kerry Vital

The Pacific National Exhibition is bringing in the big guns for this year’s PNE Prize Home, built by Britco Structures and featuring furniture from Lane Home Furnishings. The home was designed by Jillian Harris, a former star of The Bachelorette, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and Canada’s Handyman Challenge. She will next be co-hosting Love It or List It Vancouver. Recently she has been busy designing homes all over the U.S. and Canada, but the PNE Prize Home is close to her heart after living in Kelowna and Vancouver. “I wanted to do something locally,” she says, adding that it seemed like a fun project and she was looking forward to being able to have creative freedom to design the home, which will be located at the Sun Peaks Resort. The over 3,000-square-foot house includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a 20-foot vaulted ceiling, among many other beautiful features. Designing the PNE Prize Home presented a bit of a challenge for Harris. “The home has to appeal to everyone,” she says. “It’s going to be someone’s home away from home.” She took inspiration from the classic Hudson’s Bay blanket, and aimed for a shabby chic feel.

“I tried to integrate modern details,” she says. “I was able to be more whimsical and edgy with this home because it’s a vacation home, instead of something they’ll live in every day.” And whimsical it is, with a dedicated sports room on the lower level with a ski-in ski-out entrance and a sleep loft featuring four bunk beds and an interior Juliet-style balcony looking over the bottom floor. The master bedroom is going to be seriously comfortable, with a walk-in closet and amazing ensuite bathroom with a huge soaker tub, glittery chandelier, dual vanities and a large shower stall. A balcony is located off of the master bedroom as well, so you’ll have plenty of space to enjoy the view. Downstairs, the kitchen is a gourmet’s dream, with stainless-steel appliances and lots of counter space. The walk-in wine cellar is a work of genius, though Harris says it was a bit of a hard-sell for her crew. “It has a real wow factor,” she says, adding that it’s her favourite part.

“

It was important that this home pulls at your heart strings,” says designer Jillian Harris.

Q. A.

Real Estate Corner

with Derrick Sims

Our real estate agent suggested that we have a professional home inspection performed before we put our home on the market. Why should we consider this? Getting your home professionally inspected before you put it on the market seems like a strange thing to do at first glance. In fact, many agents don’t even think of having homes inspected before they list them. But once you understand how it can benefit you…the home seller…it turns out to be a very prudent decision. Here’s why… ~ Home inspections eliminate any “surprises” that can delay or even kill a home sale. They also help the seller negotiate better. In most cases, the buyer(s) will use weaknesses of the home, frequently from an inspection, to negotiate a lower price at a time when the seller is most vulnerable. Rather than become a victim of such tactics, you can show you’ve already taken their issues into account in determining your price. ~ Getting your home inspected before going on the market actually allows you to understand the true value of your home – knowing what you may need to fix and what you want to leave alone. It also helps you to price it better and understand what your “net” proceeds will be from a sale. The strengths and weaknesses of your home are going to be known by the buyer at some point anyhow. And the sooner you know them, the more you can act to minimize, eliminate, or adjust for them. ~ Home inspections ensure a faster close by eliminating contingencies and other issues, and help ensure a problem-free closing.
