VPD investigation alleges ‘numerous’ regulations not followed in White Rock chase that led to hit-and-run death

RCMP officer charged in fatal pursuit Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A White Rock RCMP officer has been charged with dangerous driving causing death and dangerous driving causing bodily harm in connection with the 2011 hit-andrun death of pedestrian Marilyn Laursen. The charges against Const. David Bickle

were announced by the Vancouver Police Department Monday morning. They followed an investigation conducted at the request of the RCMP. Laursen, 56, died around 10 p.m. May 18, 2011, after she was struck while crossing Thrift Avenue at Johnston Road. The driver of the car that hit Laursen –

Kyle Brandon Danyliuk – pleaded guilty in February to four charges in connection with her death. He is scheduled to be sentenced in Surrey Provincial Court next month. According to the VPD, the collision occurred while Bickle was allegedly in pursuit of the vehicle, after Danyliuk failed to stop for him on Marine Drive. The pursuit

continued eastbound on Buena Vista Avenue, then north on Johnston Road, a VPD release states. Danyliuk’s vehicle ultimately sideswiped another vehicle on Johnston Road before running a red light at Thrift Avenue, striking Laursen and fleeing the scene. see page 4

White Rock parents Mike and Elizabeth Cranford want to warn other parents about the dangers of pit bulls after their daughter was seriously injured in an attack Thursday afternoon. Elizabeth Cranford said four-yearold Emma was simply walking past a young pit bull at a family gathering when the dog growled, then lunged, clamping onto her neck. “Bite is not even the word,” Cranford said. “She latched onto her neck and took a chunk.

The dog was picked up by City of White Rock bylaw officers and euthanized on Friday, with the owner’s consent. Paul Stanton, the city’s director of planning and development services, said euthanization was the only option. “We basically said, that dog is not going to be released,” he said, adding that the city was prepared to go to court if necessary to get permission to put the dog down, as it did after a Staffordshire killed a yorkie-poo in November 2010. see page 4

It’s all up to Jade. Ann Payie knows where her green Ringneck parrot is hanging out these days – Blackie Spit at Crescent Beach. And Jade knows where Payie is, down there too, ringing a bell and shaking a bag of peanuts, as many times during the week as the busy home health support worker can manage. But when the two will be fully reunited depends on the skittish, independentminded bird, her pet for eight years. Jade, 12, who was captured – on film only – by photographer John Gordon as she happily perched on a tree in Crescent Beach, has been out in the wilds since June 2. “That’s 11 weeks on the lam,” said Payie, who chuckles when it’s suggested Jade is enjoying her taste of freedom. “She knows when I’m there. She sees me and calls me to let me know where she is. She’s been in a tree about 10 feet off the ground right above me – it’s a little frustrating.” Jade literally flew out the door of Payie’s former North Surrey home while she was in the midst of moving to a condo in White Rock. Although she had posted tons of wanted posters, she had resigned herself to the idea that Jade had perished, until July 1, when she got a call from a woman who had spotted the runaway bird at Crescent Beach while walking her dog. Payie shifted the focus of her search to South Surrey, and since then has been receiving a steady stream of phone messages and emails reporting sightings and updates. All she needs now is for Jade to return to her cage so she can join her other parrot, a Solomon Islands Eclectus, in their condo. “It’s like my son, Kurtis, said – miracles can happen,” Payie said. “How did she know to come down to Crescent Beach? Did she follow me?” Complicating matters is the fact that Jade, a rescue bird who had been mistreated by a former owner, is leery of most humans. It

news Scooter death A 36-year-old Surrey man is dead after a late-night crash while driving his motor scooter in Cloverdale. Surrey RCMP said the man was eastbound on Fraser Highway at 176 Street when he lost control of the gas-powered moped at 2:18 a.m. Saturday. The man was lying motionless on the road when he was run over by an eastbound minivan. The victim died of his injuries. Police say there’s no indication alcohol or dangerous driving was a factor on the part of the minivan driver, but officers are still trying to determine why the victim lost control of the scooter.

Gang-style killing A Fraser Heights man was killed last week in what’s believed to be a gang-related shooting.

Police say Christopher Pammenter, 46, was in his vehicle in the driveway of his home in the 15800-block 110 Avenue at about 11:45 p.m. Thursday, when shots rang out. Police say Pammenter (shown in 1997 photo) is known to them. A court search shows his offences are mostly traffic. He was charged with assault in 2001 but was acquitted. Investigators say the Christopher shooting was targeted. Pammenter Witnesses said they heard numerous shots exchanged between a person in the driveway and a white sedan, which sped away. “There was actually somebody standing at the end of the driveway, towards the end of the driveway shooting back and forth exchanging gunfire,” one told CTV News.

Friends of Dallas Smith pose with an impromptu memorial at South Surrey Skateb Park that is expected to be painted over by the City of Surrey.

Services held for victims of plane crash

Families grieve together for couple Tracy Holmes & Dan Ferguson Staff Reporters

The parents of Dallas Smith and Lauren Sewell attended both memorial services for their children on Friday and Saturday. Smith and Sewell, both former Peninsula residents, died when a PA30 Piper Twin Comanche crashed Aug. 13 about 30 kilometres west of Kelowna. Smith, 30, was pronounced dead at the scene. Sewell, 24, succumbed in hospital. About 250 people attended the Friday afternoon service for Smith at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre in South Surrey. His mother, Pamela, described the moment when she learned her only child had been killed. “When the knock came on the door, my heart was shattered,” she told the gathering. Her son had been the source of great comfort over the three months prior as she dealt with the death of her partner, Billy, she said. “(Dallas) was my compass. He was my true north, he was my due south. He was the reason why I got up in the morning,” Smith said. “He stood perfectly still and just held me together.” The service was described as a somewhat interactive occasion, and included the lighting of a rainbow of candles – beginning with red, to represent “a mother’s love,” followed by orange, to acknowledge Dallas’s passions, and so on – interspersed with tributes. At various points, attendees were asked to call out en masse examples of things they knew Dallas to be passionate about. One example – motorcycling – was on prominent display at the front of the room: a red Ducati Dallas affectionately named “Ginger.”

Friends described a detail-oriented man who had musical talent. They joked about the excessive number of photos he took of himself. And they left no doubt his death left a void. “Friends like him only come along once in a lifetime,” said one. Pamela Smith thanked her son’s friends and the “village” of women who helped her son grow into the man he became. “Without you guys, I would’ve been lost,” she said. “My son simply made me a better person.” About 400 people attended the Saturday afternoon memorial service for Sewell at Valley

View Memorial Gardens in Surrey. The memorial card given to mourners included a photograph of Sewell and Smith taken at her parents’ lakeside cottage. They had gone there with three other couples, and one of their friends captured the moment as Sewell and Smith sat close together, silhouetted by the setting sun. Another photo showed a young Sewell on horseback jumping over a barrier in competition, a sport she loved. At the service, nephew Hayden Billon spoke, describing how his aunt, who was just seven years older, was more “like a sister” to him. When she was nine, Sewell created a handdrawn children’s storybook, “the big city is berserk,” just for Billon, with original characters like “Peel the banana peel” and a variety of others based on figurines she made by hand. The book and figurines were both on display. There was also a series of photo collages, hundred of pictures tracing Sewell’s life from small child to young woman; five made by her family and three by her many friends. Her family and friends who spoke at the service remembered Sewell as a generous and caring person, who made her final gifts as an organ donor, helping at least eight strangers. BC Transplant organ donor registration cards were made available at the service. On Monday, Sewell’s father, Greg, said he didn’t really get a chance to know the new man in his daughter’s life. They’d only been together for a few months. His initial impression was positive. He now knows a lot more about Dallas after attending Friday’s memorial, he said. It revealed a man who was a good match for his daughter.

His work won’t be visible for long – but graffiti artist Jordan Cameron is still glad he did it. Cameron’s large, graffiti-style tribute to his friend, popular Peninsula native Dallas Smith, was painted at the South Surrey Skate Park on the day of Smith’s funeral, Aug. 24. Originally scheduled to be painted over Monday by a city crew, the tribute – a stylized depiction of the name Dallas, adorned with a pair of wings – won a reprieve of sorts the same day, following protests by Smith’s peers. “We’ll be painting it out toward the end of the week,” Surrey parks manager Laurie Cavan told Peace Arch News. “It’s best to give it a bit of time, out of respect for emotions which are running very high in the community. The individuals who were involved intended this to be something that was temporary and they have been working in close co-operation with us.” The memorial, which Cameron designed, was a heartfelt tribute to a former skater buddy who, like him, considered the park a “second home.” Smith, 30, died in an Aug. 13 plane crash near Kelowna. Even as he painted the tribute, Cameron knew it was likely to be of short duration. That’s what he was told on-site by city parks staff, he said, following visits by both the police and a bylaws officer. The painting, which took five hours to complete with the help of a tattoo artist friend, using paint donated by Smith’s friends, became the focus of a post-funeral celebration attended by many of the skating community and Smith’s mother. “I’d still have done it, if only for that day, if only for that moment, so his mom could see it and knew what he meant to me,” said Cameron, 31. “The guy was an ace.”

Police located a suspect car in a May 2011 hit-and-run but didn’t make an arrest until two months later.

Guidelines restrict public chases from page 1 “The results of the investigation allege that RCMP Const. David Bickle’s actions and failure to follow the numerous federal and provincial guidelines regarding pursuit driving contributed to the death of a pedestrian,” the VPD statement notes. Those guidelines prohibit pursuits unless the seriousness of the offence outweighs the risk to the public. The VPD was asked to investigate Marilyn Laursen hit-and-run victim Bickle’s actions immediately following the collision.

At the time, Bickle had served two years with the RCMP, all of that time in White Rock. The night Laursen was killed, Bickle had been working alone, in full uniform and operating a marked police vehicle. It is unclear if Bickle is still on duty in White Rock. Calls to RCMP E-Division were not returned by Peace Arch News deadline Monday, and White Rock Staff Sgt. Lesli Roseberry would not comment. Bickle is due to make his first appearance in Surrey Provincial Court on Oct. 9.

‘I don’t want this to happen again’ from page 1 “Killing another dog is one thing, attacking a child is something completely different,” he said. At home Monday, Emma was reluctant to talk about what happened, but said her love for her uncle’s dog, a three-year-old Boxer named Buster, remains strong. “He’s fun,” she said.

Elizabeth Cranford said as far as she knows, the attack on Emma was the pit bull’s first aggressive act. The day before, when Emma sat next to the dog reading, there was no sign of trouble. The incident “totally” changed her opinion of pit bulls, Cranford said. While people are often quick to blame the owner when a dog is aggressive, Cranford is

confident that the breed itself is the problem. “This was an unprovoked incident,” she said. “I want parents to be aware. I don’t want this to happen again.” The couple are considering asking the city to formally prohibit the dogs, but Stanton said the step is complicated. It is not currently being considered, he said.

Duty-free limits increased

Overnight travel to U.S. up Jeff Nagel Black Press

Cross-border shopping by bargain-hunting Canadians got a new lift in recent months with higher duty-free limits for overnight trips introduced in June. But Bellingham/Whatcom Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Ken Opplinger said he believes the increased flow of B.C. residents heading south this summer was relatively modest. He was reacting to Statistics Canada data made public last week showing a 7.5 per cent jump in overnight travel to the U.S. in June. “There’s been an increase since June but not nearly so much as other places,” Opplinger said. “It’s pretty small here.” Bellingham had already been experiencing heavy flows of Lower Mainland shoppers coming south for some time, he said, thanks to a combination of B.C.’s introduction of the harmonized sales tax in 2010 and the rise to parity of the Canadian dollar. “We’ve certainly had substantial increases for a little over two years

since the HST first hit,” Opplinger said. “It’s certainly the highest we’ve seen since the early 1990s.” Canada Border Services Agency staff have also been “much more lax” in checking returning Canadians and enforcing duty payments, he added. Another draw continues to be the sometimes wide differential between prices retailers charge in Canada compared to stores in the U.S. Opplinger said his office is still working to defuse friction after some Bellingham locals accused deal-crazed Canadians of being impolite or pushy and set up a Facebook page demanding the local Costco serve only Americans at certain hours. “We’re still getting emails from Canadians saying, ‘Now that I know what you really think I don’t want to come and shop there anymore.’” He described it as a small number of people not comporting themselves appropriately, but added the vast majority of Bellingham residents have friends and family from Canada and clearly understand the economic

benefit from B.C. visitors. On June 1, duty-free exemptions for Canadians returning home rose from $50 to $200 for a 24-hour stay and from $200 to $800 for stays of at least 48 hours. Mark Startup, president and CEO of Shelfspace, said it’s difficult to say if cross-border shopping has cost B.C. retailers more sales in recent months. Retailers here have continued to report climbing sales, he added. The overnight duty-free changes should not have affected day trippers, Startup said. And he doubts most shoppers would save enough to justify an overnight stay and the time committed to qualify for the bigger limits. “You really have to wonder if the difference in the exemption alone has had an impact.” ShelfSpace and other retail organizations continue to lobby the federal government to eliminate or significantly reduce tariffs Canadian retailers pay on many imported goods so they can sell at prices closer to those offered in the U.S.

editorial

Space required for heartfelt acts of ‘vandalism’ ismay that some Peninsula residents feel about the impending paint-over of a graffitistyle tribute to Dallas Smith at the South Surrey Skate Park highlights a continuing problem that touches most B.C. communities. Whenever tragedy strikes suddenly, particularly in the case of accidental deaths, the deep-seated human need to create memorials emerges among those left to mourn. B.C. roadsides are dotted with crosses, flowers, written tributes and clutches of stuffed toys – each one testimony to a life extinguished all too soon. Other spontaneous, ad hoc memorials accumulate at schools or houses or places special to the deceased, depending on the circumstances, and sometimes the tributes are even more extensive, as in the case of the memorial to Smith, who along with girlfriend Lauren Sewell, died in an Aug. 13 plane crash in Peachland. The trouble is that most of the tributes constitute – if only technically – some form of vandalism or defacement of private or public property. And yet, it’s clear that’s not the intent of people creating such memorials. They originate in an impulse entirely different from the impulse to vandalize or deface – an impulse that, judging by ancient memorials unearthed at archeological digs, has been with humankind since the dawn of time. It’s evident that blind eyes are turned to many of the memorials in our communities out of respect for the grief that inspires them. But that doesn’t solve the problem. Should there not be some kind of legitimate venue, some specific space set aside for this form of expression within our communities, a place where a genuine manifestation of mourning is not subject to removal or painting-over? While there have been attempts to formalize the process of remembrance, such as South Surrey’s Forever Garden, there is an apparent need for a different vehicle – one that recognizes the spontaneity of emotion at a time of grief. Human nature being what it is, there will likely always be memorials that break or bend the rules – or exceed our subjective judgments of appropriateness and good taste. But recognition of a need for a space for informal memorials may do much to channel the legitimate expression of residents’ feelings – without occasioning an apparently unfeeling response from city bureaucrats.

B.C. NDP plans to study pipeline projects to death

One reader suggested environmental pioneer Roderick Haig-Brown is still spinning in his grave over the damming of this legendary salmon river. Perhaps, but that was in 1947. Does it make sense today to lard pointless bureaucracy onto a reconstruction that replaces wooden pipes and provides earthquake protection, without expanding river impact? NDP environment critic Rob Fleming hammered away at the BC Liberals about this in the spring, reminding them that auditor general John Doyle had exposed a lack of resources in the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office, even before Ottawa’s changes. Fleming makes it sound like a huge new burden has been dumped on B.C. False. Provincial assessment already must be done with the participation of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Transport Canada, the provincial ministries of natural resources and energy and mines, and of course, aboriginal communities. I agree with the NDP that B.C. environmental assessment needs more resources, in particular to do the follow-up on approved projects, as called for by the auditor general. Forest management needs more money too. All the more reason not to waste resources on political gestures. Tom Fletcher is a legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

A lesson in Dog owners teen’s courage not the problem Editor: Last Tuesday afternoon, around 3 p.m., my daughter and I witnessed a tragic scene on the beautiful Crescent Beach. A group of 9- to 10-year-old kids were playing on the beach, chasing seagulls. First water guns were used, then it progressed to what I assumed was just dirt. When I realized they were throwing rocks at the birds, I got up to talk to the six or seven parents who were watching the whole scene laughing. It was then that we realized a bird had fallen to the ground and could not get away. We made our way to the bird while, finally, one of the mothers got up as well. A group of teenagers also joined the group. One of the boys, extremely upset, berated the mother in no uncertain terms, not holding back his just anger. His friend joined in, questioning the parents’ parenting skills – rightly so. The mother responded that the incident was “sad” and “unfortunate,” and she would deal with it – prompting us all to ask her “how?” I asked her what she was going to do with the bird – it had a broken wing. She said she had no idea what to do. I said she’d better contact someone quickly, SCPA or a vet, as this bird was suffering. This was her and the other parents’ responsibility. I told the kids to look at the bird and realize what they had done and that this was not fun. Throughout this scene the other parents left their friend to fend for herself. Not one of them came to back her up or to see how the bird was doing. In the end, only two mothers tried to put the bird in a container, hopefully to take it to a vet or the SPCA. The others packed up and left the beach. Hopefully, the kids learned a valuable life lesson that day – not from their parents, sadly, but from one courageous 15-year-old with a big heart. M. Messchaert, Vancouver

Forward thinking Editor: I looked in the dictionary to define the meaning of progress. It says to go forward. When I retired 25 years ago, I was making $24.75 an hour. All my friends about the same. I could buy a good home for $250,000 to $300,000. My wife did not have to work. So I ask myself, when I see the word progress, how the meaning of the word has changed so much for the average working man. Ralph Johnson, Surrey

Editor: Re: Bad masters dog good ones, Aug. 23 letters. As a dog owner, I am attuned to the banter back and forth about dog owners who do not pick up after their dogs. Considering the number of letters that are written on this topic, one would think this is a rampant problem. On any of the warm days back at the beginning of May, the walkway at Crescent Beach would be crowded with people walking their dogs. As I rode my bike along

A picnic mess, seen by letter writer. the dyke, evening after evening, I purposely watched to see what kind of a mess would be left behind by so many dogs. I saw nothing. I believe this problem is being blown out of proportion these days. By far, the majority of dog owners pick up after their dogs. Most of us always have a bag in our pockets,

and I have met many dog owners who pick up bits of garbage along the way, as well. If people want to complain about something, I would suggest an even bigger problem – the mess left behind by people. I simply shake my head at the garbage I see strewn around nearly anywhere I look. Somehow, the people in our city have come to believe that picking up their mess is someone else’s job. Isn’t it time everyone, not just dog owners, clean up after themselves? I am attaching a photo I took early one morning of a picnic table at Crescent Beach.

Letter writers react to a complaint about the a decision to repaint railings along White Rock’s waterfront black.

Don’t rail against our colour shift Editor: Re: Feeling blue over painting it black, Aug. 23 letters. As a White Rock resident, I would like to applaud the decision to repaint the railings along the promenade. The bright blue worked after Expo but – guess what – Expo was a long time ago. The bright blue was a garish distraction to the natural beauty of the surroundings. The black railings are much less intrusive. Blue may be a peaceful and calming colour but not in primary saturation. As a taxpayer, I feel city manager Dan Bottrill made a very good decision. Lanette McEachren, White Rock Q How many White Rockians does it take to paint a fence? Letter-writer Donna Burns’ complaint about the painting of the fence along White Rock’s promenade reminds me of the common joke in Victoria. How many Victorians does it take to change a light bulb? Answer: One hundred. One to change it, 99 to say they liked the old one better. Burns’ complaint appears to fit into the same category. Robert Ramsay, Surrey Q I have been a resident of White Rock since 1969, and I would have to say the black looks great. Quite distinct and classy. And as far as safety goes, the blue just blended in and did not alert you to the safeguard from trains that should be noticed.

I would suggest that anyone losing sleep over the new colour may want to be grateful for being alive and healthy enough to see the difference between black and blue, especially after reading about all the deaths and tragedies that have happened in the past week affecting our community. As the saying goes, don’t sweat the small stuff. Cindy Small, White Rock

Dark days for White Rock Re: Railing paint ‘badly needed,’ Aug. 23. This new city administrator seems to be a dictator of his own desires and is already making decisions based on his personal choices and not in the opinion or wishes of White Rock’s high-tax-paying citizens. Many taxpayers are appalled and alarmed that after over 25-plus years, the natural and attractive original blue paint enhancing and complementing the seaside-resort landscape is at excessive additional cost arbitrarily changed with no consultation, no input but an enforcement by a new and misdirected city employee. Are we blackening our beautiful waterfront ? Are we blackening our beaches? Are we blackening our gorgeous sunsets? Are we blackening our invitation to all our visitors? The costs to change the colour to black is not only wrong but very costly and should be reversed to maintain the original blue. City manager Dan Bottrill should be charged for these excessive and unnecessary expenses and also be more accountable and sensitive to all taxpayers. A. & W. Shaw, White Rock

news Emmanuel Alviar completes month in jail

Surrey rioter pens apology Jeff Nagel Black Press

A Stanley Cup rioter from Surrey is out of jail and has penned a court-ordered apology letter to the City of Vancouver. Emmanuel Alviar, 20, served his one-month jail term this summer after being sentenced in June. “Dear Mayor Robertson, I am sorry for pushing the side of a car and throwing a piece of wood at a window during the Vancouver riot,” Alviar writes in the brief letter. “I should never have done those things. My participation in the riot affected the community in a way by striking negative inspiration into all the hearts and minds of the community witnessing my crime spree.” Alviar turned himself in to police early in the investigation into the June 15, 2011 riot following the Vancouver Canucks playoff loss and pleaded guilty in March to participating in a riot.

“Where Doctors Go” Guido Wisotzki, Physiotherapist, is pleased to announce he has moved his practice to Advanced Physiotherapy clinic at 15125 Russell Avenue, White Rock. Guido is well-known in the White Rock-South Surrey area and has a special interest in orthopedic related treatments, particularly post-surgical rehabilitation. Guido is certiﬁed with the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada Institute and has an Advanced Diploma with the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapy. To book an appointment please phone 604-541-9245. File photo

Emmanuel Alviar (right) seen on video pushing a car during the riot. He had been captured on video that was posted online. Alviar said he succumbed to peer pressure because his life wasn’t heading in a purposeful direction but has since found a better path. “I am proud to say I am accepted and planning on attending my local university this September

to further build on my character and quality of life.” His conviction for participating in a riot also netted him 16 months probation and a requirement to perform 150 hours of community service work. It was the first jail term handed to a Stanley Cup rioter with no prior criminal record.

Surrey ranks high for investment Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Surrey is one of five cities named as the best real estate investments in Canada. Online publication businessreview.ca named Surrey, along with Barrie, Ont., Red Deer, Alta., Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows as some of the best opportunities for real estate investment in the country. The report, which indicated it chose to look forward rather than back to determine investment possibilities, used factors such as market stability, housing prices

and future growth potential. “With its cultural diversity and international flavor, Surrey is an emerging metropolis with a dynamic local economy,” the publication states. “With over 6,000 acres of parkland and green spaces, and an array of bike lanes and trails sprinkled throughout the city, Surrey offers residents an arrestingly beautiful landscape with all of the amenities of a bustling city.” It also notes the benefits of two border crossings with the U.S. and $15 billion a year in trade, making the area a good business

In 2011, Western Investor Magazine named Surrey the best place in Western Canada to invest in real estate. The Real Estate Investment Network has named Surrey the best place in B.C. to invest and also ranked the city fourth on the list of top Canadian investment cities.

White Rock couple Kristi and Daytona Swarbrick are giving up their home and their jobs to spend a year in Africa with Hands at Work, a non-profit Christian organization.

White Rock couple prepare to leave for a year to complete mission

Planting a seed of difference in Africa Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

even years ago, when Kristi Swarbrick first told her husband of her dream to make an extended mission trip to Africa, he didn’t rush to pack his bags. “I mentioned it to him and he said, ‘send me a postcard,’” she recalled with a chuckle. But she was serious in her intent; it was an idea that took root while she was teaching a unit on Africa and the desert to Grade 1 students at Abbotsford Christian School. Rather than write the dream off, Kristi put it on the backburner, patiently waiting for the day her husband, Daytona, would come around, occasionally reminding him it hadn’t faded. The wait paid off. Next month, the White Rock couple will bid adieu to their

Her 36-year-old husband – whose stance on making the trip was swayed after travelling to Guatemala on one of the WRCA missions, and then to Jordan separately – said he expects the mission trip will be “different, and a little bit jarring.” In preparation for the journey, the couple – who have been married for 15 years – set up a website (www.getup-standup. ca) detailing their plans, along with their efforts to raise money to cover their flights and living expenses. They intend to blog about their experiences, which will begin with a two-month orientation in White River. From there, they could be tasked to projects in any of Hands’ eight target countries. They won’t know exactly where they’ll end up or

what they’ll be doing until they get there. They do know their efforts won’t change the world. “And it may not be something we physically see the effects of right away,” Kristi said. “But it may be a seed that will grow.” Kristi admits that the scene and situation that await her and Daytona may not be what she is expecting; what she has been dreaming of. But she can’t imagine looking back on it a year from now with regret. “I probably have a romanticized view and I know that’s probably going to be turned upside-down,” she said. “Both of us feel very much at peace about it. We both didn’t want to look back and say, ‘hey, this is what we wanted to do and we never did it.’” They leave Sept. 9.

Amazing Consignment ANTIQUES & COLLECTIBLES

Celebrates 1st Anniversary! It’s been a whirlwind year for Norma Devi. A year ago she opened Amazing Consignment Antiques and Collectibles on Johnston Road in White Rock and has already generated a buzz with her selection of high-end antiques, art, china, collectibles and jewelry. In addition to consignment, Devi also appraises antiques and does in-home estate sales on her own time. Why not stop by and see what your old family heirloom is worth? You may be surprised. Raised in England, Devi has always been immersed in the world of art, antiques and collectibles, so turning her passion into a career was a natural ﬁt. She now brings her wealth of experience to the Peninsula and so far support from the community has far exceeded any expectations she had. “It’s been a wonderful year. I want to take this opportunity to thank the community for their support this past year and for making Amazing Consignment Antiques and Collectibles such a success.” After retiring from a career in the ﬁeld of mental heath six-years ago, Devi moved to the Peninsula. Giving back to her community is of the utmost importance to Devi and that’s why a portion of all the proceeds from the store is donated to Options Community Services - Whale House in White Rock. Whale House is a day rehabilitation program designed to assist adults who are recovering from mental health issues by providing a supportive place where people can build new friendships, learn new skills and enjoy recreational activities. “This is my way of giving back to the community, and helping those in need,” she said. Later this fall, the philanthropic newcomer will be holding a fundraiser for Whale House and will be releasing the details shortly. Stay tuned.

Cloverdale couple get boost from community

Support pours in for thrift store Kristine Salzmann Black Press

Organizers of a new charity thrift store in downtown Cloverdale are already experiencing the good will of the community. Alan and Judy Daser, founders of Eversafe Ranch and Doolittles Animal Rescue, opened the doors to the organization’s first thrift store last Tuesday. The day before, the shop was a flurry of activity and chatter as volunteers cleaned the floors and priced items in preparation for opening the next day. They had yet to ring up a sale, but Alan Daser said the group has had many people poke their heads in to express their excitement. A local artist walking by even offered to paint them a mural, free of charge. Greg EvansDavies paid tribute to the animal-rescue side of the organization with a wall painting of dogs and children playing in an expansive green field. In fact, the community’s generosity is what inspired the thrift store. Eversafe provides furniture, housewares,

donations of household items that they were having to turn items away. Now, through the

store, they can raise money for Eversafe and Doolittles as well as offer affordable furniture, clothes and

children’s gear to the community. “We recognized there were a number of families in this area that couldn’t afford to properly outfit their homes,” Alan Daser said in a media release. “We’re hoping this thrift store will fill that gap.” They accept “anything you can find in a house,” he added. The store’s regular hours are Tuesday to Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Additional volunteers to help run the store are always welcome, he said. To volunteer or make a donation appointment, call 778574-1998. For more information, visit eversaferanch.ca

Digital Hearing Aids gain popularity But what do you get out of it? Do the new products help you hear better or hear more?

Hard to believe that digital hearing aids only started gaining popularity at the turn-of-the-century, twelve years ago. Adding automatic features to help clean up the sound, multiple programs to help navigate different listening situations are just two advantages of digital hearing aids. Generally hearing instrument manufacturers will update their product line once a year, being careful to add the right new features that will beneﬁt you most.

Are you embarassed to show your toenails in public?

First, yes they do help you hear better and hear more! More automatic features help to improve speech clarity better than ever before. Bluetooth technology has made it easy to connect your hearing aids to your mobile phone and television. Its easier than you think to take advantage of these seemingly complicated technologies. The degree of how much they can help will depend on your individual hearing loss and lifestyle needs. Second, if you already wear I hearing aid and have owned it more than ﬁve years you may want to

www.whiterockoptometry.com WHITEROCK OPTOMETRY “Caring for you and your family for over 25 years”

think about trying something new. Hearing aids are electronics.Electronics you wear on your person, in your ear. They are subjected to wax and moisture on a daily basis and as a result microphones or speakers corrode, internal parts can wear out and sound quality can lower as time goes on. Hearing aids genreally last between four and seven years, a great argument for visiting your hearing clinic at least once or twice a year to ensure they are clean and operating efﬁciently. Today you can walk into almost any hearing clinic and try a new hearing aid at no cost to you. Have an older hearing aid that you feel is working "ﬁne", you should still think about it, you have nothing to lose. Drop in or call Boardwalk Hearing to get a free hearing aid cleaning or a free trial today.

It was a fairy-tale ending for Myra Merkelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third annual princess party. The Saturday afternoon soirĂŠe, which aims to raise funds for an allabilities park on White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waterfront, brought 178 of the Peninsulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youngest royals together to meet with a fairy godmother, play games and visit with Snow White. Merkel, who organized the event held at Star of the Sea Community Centre, said the party raised $11,787 for the park â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a dream of her son, Evan Bird, a White Rock firefighter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every penny we made was wonderful. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so grateful,â&#x20AC;? she said Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before the second (Peace Arch News) article came out, we only had 122 girls, and then every day after

For Merkel, the party was a way to make each person in attendance feel like royalty â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no matter what their age. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The great part about this event is that the volunteers had fun, too. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bringing that belief of magic and miracles, not only to little princesses, but to big ones, like the mothers and the volunteers,â&#x20AC;?

COME OUT AND FIND YOUR

This year’s Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner, I’ll Have Another, was purchased as a yearling for $11,000. He went on to earn $2.7 million and captured the hearts of millions! Who knows what you might find at the CTHS Yearlings and Mixed Sale.

YEARLING PARADE 3 P.M. MONDAY, SEPT. 10TH YEARLINGS AND MIXED SALE 2 P.M. TUESDAY, SEPT. 11TH THUNDERBIRD SHOW PARK 24550 72ND AVE., LANGLEY

Visit and enter for a chance to win an all-expenses paid trip for two to this year’s Breeders’ Cup at Santa Anita Park, Los Angeles, California, Nov 2 – 3, 2012 For information, contact Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society at 604-574-0145 or www.cthsbc.org

Come find your I’ll Have Another Two years ago, a yearling named I’ll Have Another sold for $11,000. This year, ridden by B.C.’s own Mario Gutierrez, I’ll Have Another won the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the hearts of horse racing fans around the world. He won more than $2.7 million in prize money for his owner. And it all started at a sale just like the Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society Annual Yearling & Mixed Sale. I’ll Have Another is an enormous success story, but there have been many other less publicized stories. Hundreds of prize winning horses have come from the CTHS-BC sale throughout its 60-year history. Strait of Dover was purchased in the 2010 sale and the horse has since won $750,000, including this year’s Queen’s Plate, Canada’s most prestigious race. And prominent local horse owner Glen Todd purchased Taylor Said for $9,000 in the 2009 sale. It has earned $278,000, including a huge win in the Longacres Mile at Emerald Downs in Seattle earlier this year. See the future of thoroughbred horse racing in B.C. Find your I’ll Have Another. Everyone is welcome to come down this Monday and Tuesday to see future prize-winning horses at Thunderbird Show Park in Langley, B.C. Whether you simply want to see the powerful thoroughbreds and discover what it’s all about, or you’re looking to buy your first horse or fifteenth horse, everyone is encouraged to visit and spot the next big winner. The 85-acre Thunderbird Show Park is one of North America’s premier equestrian facilities and it’s located right in your backyard. Enjoy the afternoon with live music and a snack, and see where the journey begins for these magnificent animals. The CTHS Yearling Parade on September 10 and Annual Yearling & Mixed Sale on September 11 are two of the largest displays of horse racing talent in the country. Everyone who visits is eligible to win the grand prize draw of an all-expense-paid trip to California to watch the 2012 Breeders’ Cup, November 2-3, 2012, at Santa Anita Park in Los Angeles.

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

but remember, don’t start using them until October 1st, 2012. Specialized waste collection trucks are needed to service these carts, and they will begin collection on October 1st.

the scene …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

mellow retro covers (Walking After Midnight, Dream A Little Dream) and whimsical pop originals (If Wishes Were Horses, Popcorn, The Zoo, Swimming With Sharks) that blend sensitive, unconventional lyrics and a classically-influenced melodic sound. Doors and dinner are at 6 p.m., followed by music 8-11 p.m. Tickets are $7, but seating is limited. For reservations, call 604-5418511.

Blues By The Sea Q Sound Productions presents the second annual Blues By The Sea Rhythm and Blues Festival, Saturday, Sept. 1 at the Semiahmoo Park bandshell (courtesy of the Semiahmoo First Nation). Starting shortly after noon – and stretching into the early evening – an unbeatable line-up of local, national and international talents will demonstrate the many shades of blue in the musical spectrum at the lawnchair-a-must, familyfriendly event. First up (12:30 p.m.) will be the Peninsula’s own 15-year-old ‘Prodigal Son of the Blues’: Sean ‘Blues Puppy’ Riquelme. Following him, will be popular David ‘Boxcar’ Gates. Then Velvet Bulldozer, featuring ace White Rock guitarist Jim Black, will take the stage at 2:30 p.m. At 3:30 p.m. it’ll be the turn of ‘White Rock’s Queen of the Blues’ – Ellie Johnson – followed at 4:30 p.m. by Russian-born blues wizard Arsen Shomakhov. The ever-popular Jason Buie will play his West Coast blues style at 5:30 p.m., leading into a 6:30 p.m. set by internationally-known bluesman, and former Sheryl Crow guitarist, Todd Wolfe. Rounding off the festival will be Vancouver’s own premier party band (and Yale Hotel house band) Brickhouse, featuring White Rock’s own Ed Johnson on drums. Admission for the festival, which also features a salmon barbecue and an assortment of vendors and arts and crafts booths, is $15 per person or $40 for a family (kids under 12 get in free). Tickets are available from Tapestry Music, Surfside Music and the Surrey Arts Centre (and online at surrey.ca/arts) For more information, call 604617-8453.

Little Shop of Horrors Those who missed Little Shop of Horrors during its Coast Capital Playhouse run (which closed Aug. 25) – or those who want a second helping – still have a chance to catch the locally-grown favourite Oct. 9-27 at Vancouver’s Jericho Arts Centre. Directed by White Rock Players Club board member Ryan Mooney (Nunsense, Lend Me A Tenor) and presented by his Fighting Chance Productions, the popular Alan Menken-Howard Ashman musical concerns a flower shop just off skidrow – and Audrey II, the rapidlygrowing, bloodthirsty plant from outer space nurtured by assistant florist Seymour Krelbourn. White Rock’s Kerry O’Donovan (a noted pianist-singer and musical director for Vancouver professional productions) offers a winning characterization as Seymour, while newcomer Melissa Clark delivers a touching, star-making turn as Audrey, Seymour’s co-worker and major crush. For tickets, visit www. jerichoartscentre.com or 604-2248007.

Outside The Box Outside The Box, the second annual celebration of fibre and textile arts returns to White Rock Sept. 8 to Oct. 5. A special preview event will be hosted by White Rock Library (15342 Buena Vista Ave.) on Wednesday, Sept. 5. Dance group The Fusionistas (Stephanie Lafreniere, Katherine Siemens and RosaLee Rundvall) will present an art in motion performance featuring conceptualized fibre and textile designs. The combination of dance and artistic costuming explores a rich history of dance from around the world, including improvisational tribal style, belly dance, flamenco, folkloric and Kathak, leader Stephanie Lafreniere said. “Our dance demonstrates the strength, empowerment and beauty of women working together, exploring ideas and being creative,” she said. “It is a meeting of the three most ancient modes of expression: visual art, dance and music (rhythm).” All are welcome and and edible fibre art from Rustic Gourmet will be served.

Local favourite Jason Buie is one of the acts in the Blues By The Sea Rhythm and Blues Festival. Outside The Box is aimed at promoting awareness of the rich versatility of fibre and textile art – from purely decorative to functional works. During the festival, White Rock Library will hold a display of quilts by the Piece Arch Quilters and there will be demonstrations and displays by the Peace Arch Weavers and Spinners, the Semiahmoo Guild of Needlearts, ‘yarn bombings’ and The Dance of the Needle, a bookmaking workshop. Artworks by Christian Geissler will also be on display at the library through the festival and other events, displays and workshops will take place throughout White Rock.

Tickets ($20 in advance and $25 at the door) are available at Christopher’s Gift Gallery, The Party Bazaar (Langley), online at flamencodelmar.com or by calling 604-542-2096.

Another Peninsula senior, Aart Looye, 68, was winning silver and gold medals in the swimming pool, despite suffering a broken shoulder one month earlier. Looye was hurt in a collision during a bicycle road race at the

Tour de Whatcom about a month ago but didn’t realize how serious it was until the Burnaby games, when he had to be helped out of the water after winning gold in the 4x25 mens’ relay. He had also earlier managed a silver in the 65-69 mens’ 800-m freestyle. “You just power your way

through,” Looye said. The South Surrey resident has been told his shoulder should be fine in three to six weeks. Some of the other Peninsula winners, as listed on the senior games website, included a number of multiple medallists. In cycling, Ian Wilson took gold in the mens’ 70-74 road

race, hill-climb and time-trial competitions. Sandra Olafson won three gold in the same events in the womens’ 70-74 category, and Brenda Krenn won bronze in all three. In swimming, Sharyn Richardson won gold, silver and bronze in womens’ 55-59 backstroke and butterfly events. In tennis, Michael Clarke won a gold in the 65-69 singles and a silver in the mixed doubles. In table tennis, Horace Remedios and Patricia Toppings won gold in the 80-plus men and women mixed category. The event ran from Tuesday, August 21 to Saturday, August 25, 2012 in Burnaby. It was the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Games and the first time Burnaby has hosted the BC Seniors Games. About 4,000 competitors ranging in age from 55 to 90-plus took part in 26 sports.

Dean Robertson draws a bead on an incoming pitch in Sunday morning action at Softball City in South Surrey. Robertson was playing in the Business Networking International tournament. His team won the game 23 to 6.

Tournament honours golfer A golf tournament in memory of a young Langley golfer was held earlier this month at Hazelmere Golf Course, with a handful of Surrey golfers among the event winners. The Dylan Reichelt Memorial Tournament, hosted by the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour – of which Reichelt was a member – was contested Aug. 13-14, and featured more than 70 golfers in a number of age divisions.

Reichelt was killed in a car accident last November. His twin brother, Jesse, teed off the competition on Day 1, and finished fourth in the boys 17-19 year-old division, which was won by Surrey’s Steven Hayes. Hayes shot one under-par for the tournament, after rounds of 71 and 72. In the girls tournament, South Surrey’s Jamie Oleksiew – who

golfs out of Hazelmere and will play next year at the University of Colorado – captured top spot after back-to-back rounds of 75 on a 5,279-yard layout.

OBITUARIES

HAZLETT, Alex Born June 8/1925- Died Aug 12/2012 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father Alex Hazlett. Dad died peacefully at Peace Arch Hospital with his son and daughter in law by his side. Survived by son Alex (Debbie), daughters Tina and Nella. Grandchildren Vickie (Rob), Nicole (Joe), Laura (Andy), 5 great grandchildren and one on the way. Predeceased by wife Ann, grandson Gordon, and granddaughter Ali. Born and raised in Glasgow, Scotland, Dad moved to White Rock in 1948 where he met fellow Scot and love of his life Ann. Together they raised their 3 children, hung out in ballparks, lawn bowling clubs, very cold ice rinks and later Vegas 3 times a year. Dad was an electrician with Hume and Rumble, when in 1965, he joined Canada Post as a Letter Carrier in White Rock. There he stayed until his retirement in 1987. A wonderful Father and Grandfather, his good humour and personality will be missed by all who knew him. No service at Dad’s request, although you could have a Scotch at 4:00 and 4:30 PM precisely. He would like that.

SHANNON, Doris Also survived by her daughter Deborah, her husband Russell and her only grandchildren Victoria and Thomas.

ORIHUEL, Simon, Fernando M.D., F.R.C.P(C) Passed away peacefully August 20th, 2012. Fernando was born October 11, 1937 in Seville, Spain. He is survived by his children Pilar (Colin) Osing, grandchildren Reesa and Kohen, by his son David and his friend Diana (Stuart) Fraser. He is also survived by his Spanish family: sister Amalia (Miguel), brother Juan, nieces and nephews Rocio (Victor), Jacobo, Blanca, Miguel, Mabi and Victoria and great niece and nephew Amalia & Alejandro. Fernando came to Canada in 1969 to complete his residency in Paediatrics at Winnipeg Children’s’ Hospital, Montreal Children’s and Foothills Hospital in Calgary. He arrived in Surrey in 1972 and set up practice in North Delta where he served the community for 30 years. Parents of his patients will remember his patient, gentle touch and his astute diagnoses and treatment. On retirement, he enjoyed swimming, studying mathematics, and his family; spending time with his grandchildren and beloved dog Riley. By request no service will be held, in lieu of flowers donations can be made to the SPCA.

Trompetter, Benjamin Alan was born Sept 16th 1984 in North Vancouver and passed away on Aug 17, 2012, He and his family settled in White Rock where he attended Ocean Cliff Elementary and Elgin Park Secondary. He found his passion in travelling which took him through the South Pacific, Australia and South East Asia which then launched him into a career as an adventure tour guide in the The land of Smiles, otherwise know as Thailand. Ben was very much loved and admired by his family and friends and who will be remembered and comforted by his famous loving smile and spirit... A service will be held at Peace Portal Alliance, in White Rock this Thursday, Aug 30, 3 p.m.. In lieu of flowers we invite you to donate to Ben’s favorite orphanage in Thailand, details to follow at the service.

TOPP Herbert William ``Herb’’ left us peacefully, at the grand age of 99, on the evening of August 5 in the Al Hogg Pavilion at Peace Arch Hospital, White Rock BC. He was born in Saint Andrews, New Brunswick, the middle of seven children. The family moved to Montreal and as a child Herb showed an early talent for business, earning money by selling cakes doorto-door and polishing brass hardware in his neighborhood. He trained as a bookkeeper and joined Lowney’s chocolate firm. Soon after the outbreak of the second world war he enlisted with the RCAF, and served as a tail gunner on a Lancaster bomber, based in England. At the end of the war he returned to his previous job in Montreal, and later as a bookkeeper with Dallards, the chain of women’s clothing stores based in eastern Canada. He was soon promoted to store manager, and when the firm decided to open a branch in Vancouver in the 1950s he was dispatched to manage it. It was while working at the store that he met his wife Marie. They shared many adventures and good times during their 47 years together. After they settled in White Rock, Herb became involved in Kiwanis, the community service club, where his early talent as a cake salesman was once again displayed. He was also an avid swimmer at the South Surrey pool. With his infectious laugh and ability to tell a good story or joke he brought joy to many. Herb is survived by his loving wife Marie, who supported him tirelessly through his final years, and by his daughter Frances and sons Mike and Shawn. Special thanks to the caring and hard working staff at Peace Arch Hospital and Al Hogg Pavilion. Thanks for all the good times Herb, we love you. A Memorial Service will be held at St. John’s Presbyterian Church, 1480 George St., White Rock on Wednesday September 5th at 2pm.

OBITUARIES

Jean Elizabeth Holton (nee Esson)

Passed away peacefully on July 25, 2012 only 13 days past her 95th birthday at the Whitecliff Retirement Residence Care Wing, White Rock, BC. She was predeceased by her mother Anna Jane (1939), her father Alexander (1949), her husband Lyle (1986), her brother-in-law Bill Elliott (2000), her older brother Willy (2004) and her older sister Francie (2009). She is survived by her daughter Alexis and her husband Dennis Davison of Tsawwassen, by her son Norman and his wife Marcie of Calgary, by her sister Margaret Elliott of Regina and Victoria, by her granddaughters Erin Gotobed (Bob), Laurel Suignard (Richard), Susan Nelson (Darren) and Heather Davison (Clayton), by her grandson Michael Holton and by her four great grandchildren Will, Ethan and Ben Suignard and Anna Davison. Mom was born in Rosetown, Saskatchewan on July 12, 1917 and spent her early years on the farm near the town of McGee, Saskatchewan. In 1928 the Esson family moved to Rosetown and in 1935 Mom graduated from high school as the top academic student. In 1941 she met Lyle Holton who went overseas with the Canadian Army Signal Corps in 1942. Upon his return in December 1945 they began to plan for their wedding which took place in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on May 25, 1946. She became “Mom” in 1947 with the arrival of daughter Alexis in Rosetown and again in 1950 with the arrival of son Norman after the family had moved to Nipawin, Saskatchewan. Dad managed the OK Economy grocery store in Melfort, Saskatchewan from 1952 to 1956 before the family moved to Saskatoon where Dad managed several OK Economy stores and together they raised their family. In 1982 Mom and Dad retired to the White Rock, British Columbia area and built a house on 19A Street. After Dad’s passing in 1986 she continued in the house until 1996 before moving in to Pacific Terrace on Russell Avenue in White Rock and then on to Whitecliff in 2004. Mom lived in Whitecliff for 8 years, first in the independent living section and then an easy transition to the Care Wing for her last five years. Thank you to all of the staff at Whitecliff, especially those in the Care Wing, for their day-to-day thoughtful care and for their commitment to Mom’s comfort and their support of our family during Mom’s final days. During her earlier time in White Rock, Mom volunteered in support of Peace Arch Hospital helping out in the superfluity shop. She ended up in the competent care of Peace Arch Hospital for two bouts of pneumonia, the last being just before her return to Whitecliff and her passing. If anyone wishes to honour Mom they may do so by visiting www. peacearchhospital.com to make a donation to the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation. Mom’s ashes will be interred beside those of our father at Victory Memorial Garden, Surrey, BC.
