White Rock’s Cyndie Richards has spent hours on the road in search of her son, whom she’s been told ‘falls through the cracks’ in the system.
‘Mark my words: This will end badly’
Through one mother’s eyes A
HARD to HELP A Black Press special series examines the shattering effects of mental illness
fter reading stories in Black Press’ Hard to Help series, White Rock mother Cyndie Richards was moved to share what her family is dealing with. I am writing regarding my 33-year-old son, of no fixed address. He has a long history of undiagnosed mental-health issues and drug abuse. He has been in and out of rehab centres, recovery houses, hospitals, prison and lately, with increasing frequency, Colony Farm (a forensic psychiatric hospital in Coquitlam). You see, my son has been granted the great privilege bestowed on our citizens – the ability to make his own choices. He has the ability to choose his own health care, or lack thereof; his own living conditions (on the street); his own drug dealer; his own drug (his was heroin, now it’s crystal meth); whether he will take his antipsychotic drug or not; and whether he will steal or randomly attack some innocent person because the “voices in his head tell him to.” He has been bestowed with the great responsibility to make free, healthy choices. The only problem is - he can’t. Last month, my younger son drove to Surrey Place Mall (Central City) to pick up a card and flowers for
his girlfriend, only to see some “crazy guy in the parking lot doing the crazy chicken dance.” On closer inspection he was horrified to realize that “crazy guy” was, in fact, his older brother. He explained, “Mom, he wasn’t just the eyes-downcastdruggie but that full-fledged, out-of-his-mind mentally disturbed guy.” He drove away. I, as his mother, went looking for my older son on the streets of Whalley. I found him (Feb. 16) out of his mind. I called the police to help me take him to the hospital. They were very accommodating. At Surrey Memorial Hospital, he was eventually restrained and medicated. I met with the resident psychiatrist the next day. She wouldn’t recommend committing him. She said he would first have to deal with his addiction, which would probably take six months of being clean to diagnose. I asked, why you don’t first treat his mental illness so that he can then be well enough to deal with his addiction? She said there were no programs like that and unfortunately, my son would fall through the cracks. They said I couldn’t see him because he was still in a restricted “safe” area, but they soon discharged him on › see page 4
Hospice beds at Peace Arch Hospital have received a big boost from the provincial government. And while the $3-million grant announced Monday does not affect the White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society – a support facility across Russell Avenue from PAH – it can only help in the long run, said the society’s executive director. “Now that we know those beds are going ahead, we’re in a much better position to start moving forward with our own capital campaign for our supportive-care centre,” said Catherine Ferguson. The funds announced for the Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation will go toward expanding the hospital’s sixth-floor hospice from six end-oflife care beds to 15. “Providing end-of-life care helps people in this stage of life to die with dignity in their home community near family and friends,” said Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid in a release. “The $3-million grant… will offer additional beds in private rooms for people in the last weeks or months of life when care cannot be provided at home.” The hospice-bed increase is part of PAH’s 2012 master concept plan, which also includes an expanded emergency department, new surgical rooms and a new 200-bed residential-care building. “Building capacity – including in our hospice – on the Peace Arch Hospital campus is a top priority for our foundation and our partners at Fraser Health,” foundation board chair Graham Cameron said. “The funding… will help ensure that our community receives the hospice beds necessary to meet the demands from our growing community.” Ferguson said her society is seeking to raise money for a new supportive-care centre to better accommodate their training, volunteer and counselling services. “We’re just so busy here,” she said. The society’s current location, at 15510 Russell Ave., is also aging, highlighted by two floods, most recently in December.

learn to accept the tolling, and points to the alternatives of the Pattullo and Alex Fraser bridges. Bains has said that, if elected, there is little the NDP could do about the existing tolls because the Liberals have put in place an agreement to repay the cost of the bridge over 40 years. Along comes Cummins, with an idea that could help put a little money back into the pockets of those who are forced to pay the tolls. The BC Liberals have already said his idea (which he estimates would cost $45 million the first year) isn’t economically sustainable – but does that mean that Surrey drivers should have to pay more to go to work than commuters in other parts of the region? While the provincial election is still seven weeks away, the cost of using the Port Mann Bridge and the blatant unfairness of the current tolling system needs to become a major issue in the various election races south of the Fraser. Cummins’ idea has, at the very least, once again pushed these issues to the forefront. It needs to be an important issue in this election, because most Surrey residents will be paying tolls for many years to come. If neither the BC Liberals nor the NDP have any interest in a more fair regional-tolling system, then a provincial tax credit is an excellent alternative.

natural grade entirely, and instead base the measurement on existing grade. Stanton warned such a move could lead to developers taking advantage of the bylaw. “Measuring from existing grade is a moving target,” Stanton said. “There’s nothing stopping (developers) from leveling the site at a much higher grade, which means they have a higher starting point if they are using existing grade. They will bring in the surveyor after they have leveled the building and leveled the site and say, ‘here are my existing grades, oops, they happen to be 10 feet higher than they were before.’” Attendees were quick to contest the explanation, with some asking for an adjustment to stipulate that a development can be built on either existing or natural grade, whichever is lower. Others disputed Stanton’s description of existing grade being a moving target. “In my opinion – and I have quite a lot
of experience with this, because I was an excavating contractor – the term ‘existing grade’ wasn’t wishy-washy. That’s what was stipulated and a contract was based on,” said George Taylor, a West Beach resident. “The city should get a legal opinion on the term existing grade.” The Yearsleys’ development, the Sausalito, was repeatedly pointed to as an example of how natural grade can result in higher developments. In an email to Peace Arch News, Victoria Avenue resident Simon Bergen-Henengouwen noted that if a change is not made, another development could end up extending past the area’s height limit, essentially wiping out the views of current residents. “We would like them to use the existing grade otherwise there will be a multitude of Sausalitos built up and down Marine Drive,” he writes. Council is expected to vote on the bylaw at the next council meeting.
Electrical issues cited
Zellers fire ‘not deliberate’ Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter
A mattress fire at Zellers in Semiahmoo Shopping Centre has now been attributed to “something other than human actions” and is not suspicious as was originally thought. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said police investigation concluded that the March 14 blaze – which caused a oneday closure of the mall, and a longerterm shutdown of Zellers – was likely caused by an electrical issue and was “not deliberately set.” The conclusion on the cause of the fire comes a week after Surrey Fire Services deemed it suspicious, and passed the case over to the RCMP. The fire was confined to mattresses in the South Surrey department store, but there was considerable smoke damage, according to Surrey deputy fire Chief Jon Caviglia. The store is set to re-open in early April, a spokesperson for the Hudson’s Bay Company – which owns Zellers – told Peace Arch News last week.
Charges in Taser case A 49-year-old Surrey man is facing multiple charges in connection with an attempted theft last weekend at a Morgan Crossing retail store. Surrey RCMP were called to Winners at 15765 Croydon Dr. Sunday afternoon, after a man was seen brandishing a Taser gun and pointing the weapon at a lossprevention officer from the store. Upon arrival, officers ordered one man at gunpoint to drop the weapon. According to Mounties, the man arrested is known to police and was wanted on an outstanding warrant. Charges of theft under $5,000, assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon for dangerous purposes and uttering threats have been recommended.

Power reduction minimal in Surrey and White Rock
Cities’ lights stay on during Earth Hour Surrey and White Rock love their power. Saving it… not so much. On Saturday evening, the two communities reduced their electricity use by just 1.8 and two per cent respectively during Earth Hour. Surrey was 55th and White Rock 49th out of 69 B.C. communities in the power savings recorded over the one-hour period (8:30-9:30 p.m.) by BC Hydro. The top communities were Comox and Courtenay, which used 9.8 per cent less power. The worst-ranked were Enderby (0.2 per cent), Salmon Arm (0.2 per cent), and Chilliwack (0.3 per cent).
Overall, British Columbians saved 136 megawatt hours of electricity and reduced the provincial electricity load by 1.95 per cent during Earth Hour on Saturday night – the equivalent of turning off more than 10 million 12.5-watt LED light bulbs. Many communities across the province successfully improved their Earth Hour energy savings from the previous year. Comox and Courtenay saw the highest reduction at nearly 10 per cent. Earth Hour is an annual global event hosted by the World Wildlife Fund and supported by BC Hydro. This year marks the sixth year of
BC Hydro’s support of the event. The goal of Earth Hour is to encourage individuals to turn off unnecessary lights and electronics to conserve power and in doing so, demonstrate support for climate change reduction efforts. Since 2007, BC Hydro’s Power Smart programs have saved close to 4,300 gigawatt hours per year of electricity – enough to power 390,000 B.C. homes.

Mental-health issues don’t always fare well in the justice system
Putting order in the court Kevin Diakiw Black Press
The 52-year-old woman had been before the courts continuously for a decade for making bogus 911 calls, setting fires and threatening people. The woman, who had mild mental impairment and a major depressive disorder, was under the care of her 75-yearold mother, who could no longer look after her. Eventually, she appeared in a new court in Victoria designed for people with mental-health issues. Under supervision, she went back on her medication and hasn’t been inside a courtroom in two years. She apologized to police and is once again living peacefully with her mother. This is just one success story from Victoria’s Integrated Court (VIC), which is lauded provincially as one of the best ways to treat the mentally ill from a legal perspective. It’s the kind of approach Surrey is hoping to implement here. In January 2007, Mayor Dianne Watts and a contingent from Surrey city hall travelled to Midtown,
New York to examine the community court system there. Accountability appeared to be key. People convicted of crimes resulting from substance abuse were sent directly to alcohol or drug treatment. Those appearing for spousal abuse were ordered into counselling, thieves had to repay what was stolen and so on. The approach lessened the burden on other courts, reduced repeat offenders and made deep cuts in the levels of petty crime. Last year, Vancouver lawyer Geoffrey Cowper was asked by the B.C. attorney general to review the province’s chronically clogged court system. He came back with recommendations for wholesale changes. The report – A Criminal Justice System for the 21st Century – argues a fresh approach to handling people with mental-health issues is crucial. While the report didn’t provide statistics on community courts, the Midtown court, and a similar one in Red Hook, New York, diverted about 200,000 cases annually from senior courts.
HARD to HELP
Such diversion rates could work wonders in B.C., where statistics show one in three people in B.C. jails have mental illness. Cowper noted the bulk of their crimes are relatively minor. Because of their conditions, they are more likely to be jailed, he said. “The misunderstanding and confusion that often surrounds people with mental illness may cause people to fear and view them as dangerous, when they may, in fact, represent no risk to public safety.” Experts say a community court specializing in mental health would be a welcome change over jail. “Imagine what it does to a person who needs health service provided to them, but is treated like a criminal,” said psychiatrist Joti Samra. “That is not where people with mental-health disorders belong.” Cowper was in Surrey March 19 speaking about the judicial system and the need for a community court in the city. He told the group such a court should be extremely focused, allowing only those who are mentally ill and perhaps domesticviolence cases. Surrey has been lobbying for six years for a community court. The decision remains with the ministry of the attorney general.
‘How have we let this happen?’ › from page 1 Feb. 17 to the public. The irony seemed to be lost on them. When I was young, people who could not make proper decisions for themselves were committed until they were stable enough to make clear, healthy choices. Where did all those hospitals go? Now, all there seems to be are prisons. Surely, our mentally ill citizens deserve better than prison. Wouldn’t it be logical to build a hospital which only dealt with the mentally ill or dual-diagnosis – a hospital full of trained professionals with the authority to detain people until they are well enough to make decisions for themselves? The questions remains, how have we all collectively let this happen to our mentally ill? Why have we abandoned them all under the disgusting pretext of “free will?” My son was once a much-loved, healthy, handsome, smart, athletic and funny brother and son. Now he is still loved, but lives on the streets or in random recovery houses, with little or no hope. If he was your son or brother, where would you send
Ron Wiseman
him where he could be held until he could receive the necessary help he so desperately deserves? I can’t think of any places either. Change takes time. We are running out of it. Our family and countless other families are not skilled or equipped to deal with the severity of our children’s mental illness and addiction. We have become the frontline – the government’s dumping ground for the mentally ill. They close mental institutions, only to build more prisons. Our prisons now house the mentally ill, the drug addict and the drug dealer. Surely, I cannot be the only one that sees the irony of this situation. The citizens of Canada deserve better. Just five days after my son was discharged (Feb. 22), he broke into his father’s home. Thankfully, his home was alarmed and the police came before he could do any harm. Mark my words: This will end badly. My son will either die or hurt another innocent person and the responsibility for that will lie on the heads of all who stood by and did nothing to stop this travesty. › related story, page 5

henever the woman with mental-health problems got high, she’d tear off her clothes and dance naked in Surrey’s streets. Every time, police responded, got her dressed and took her to the holding cells at the RCMP detachment to sleep it off. The next night, it would happen again. It happened with such frequency, the issue came to the attention of then-councillor Dianne Watts, who was the chair of the city’s Public Safety Committee. Watts was deeply concerned on two main levels. Firstly, she said at the time, people who are sick don’t belong in jail. Secondly, Watts was bothered about the tremendous use of police resources to handle what was essentially a health issue. Watts spoke with others, such as addictions expert Michael Wilson, and hatched a plan for a sobering centre, where people could come off drugs and/or alcohol in a more clinical environment. Surrey could provide the land, B.C. Housing the structure, and Fraser Health Authority the staff. It took almost a decade to bring to reality, but by last September, Quibble Creek was up and running at 13670 94A Ave. Those who are brought to the 25-bed sobering centre are too drunk for shelters and not sick enough for hospitals. Even though it’s been operational for eight months, there’s been a slow uptake. On a recent “Welfare Wednesday,” (the day of the month when low-income clients receive their social-assistance cheques), there were no clients at the 25-bed facility. Busier days see about nine. Kevin Letourneau, manager of Quibble Creek and nearby Creekside Detox Withdrawal Management Centre, isn’t surprised. It took a similar facility in Victoria a year to begin filling up. When clients arrive at Quibble Creek, they are medically assessed and asked to change into pyjamas. The only people who might be

It’s time for TransLink rethink
A
mad scientist couldn’t have come up with an odder creation than TransLink. And a new consultant’s report paid for by the Mayor’s Council on Regional Transportation seems to agree. Recognizing the fact that TransLink is essentially a provincial creation responsible for overseeing regional priorities, yet beset with funding woes and lack of accountability, the report suggests numerous reform options. None appear to be ideal. Critics say it’s time for a change but what changes are necessary? Former transportation minister Kevin Falcon thought he solved the problem when he took priority-setting responsibilities away from the mayors and gave them to a professional board. But that hasn’t worked the way it was hoped. There’s never enough money for transportation priorities so the mayors always seem to be going cap-in-hand to the province, only to be told to look under the couch for spare change or pare down the priorities. TransLink’s mayors’ council has only enough power to be a ready scapegoat for the province. Thus, when big decisions are made – say, building the new Port Mann Bridge or choosing the transit technology for the Evergreen Line – they’re made by the province, leaving the mayors and the TransLink board responsible for unpopular actions such as cutting bus routes or hiking property taxes. According to the consultants, TransLink’s structure – an appointed board of directors in control of all decisions except major revenue increases – is an anomaly worldwide; most other cities have democratically elected representatives who answer directly to their constituents. But does the public want another emasculated but elected board, like boards of education, which have a little responsibility and no authority or revenue-raising power? Not likely. More radical surgery might be necessary. One idea would be to create a democratically elected Metro Vancouver land-planning board with responsibility for setting transportation priorities as well as budgets – replacing both the Metro Van board and the TransLink mayors’ council. Voters might yawn at the idea, but something has to be done about TransLink and the stringpulling provincial government – whether BC Liberal or NDP – has to do it.

Last week we asked...
Should local government be able to determine whether trains transport coal in their communities?
yes 46% no 54% 135 responding
this is a debate we should be having in the community. Sadly, there are those who would prefer to simply jump all over the youth who posted the video on his YouTube channel, and the reporter – me – who tried to bring the issue to light. I may simply be excusing my own bad parenting for not banning these games from my house and poor reporting for not trying to run this young man out of town. On the other hand, there may be some positive attributes to these games. (I also notice that boys’ interest in them tends to wane when girls start calling or texting, but that’s another column.) I also appreciate the thought and creativity that go into them. I recall, recently, seeing a video of Canadian humour icon and political satirist Rick Mercer donning motion-capture gear and role-playing a soldier in a firstperson shooter game. The industry provides a lot of jobs for artists, writers and computer programmers. It is a significant economic generator in the province and despite their mature rating, most of these violent video games are bought by middle-schoolers. That’s a reality. So... Instead of publicly crucifying a youth who posted a video of a game, still in development, on YouTube, we should be studying and debating these games and talking about them with each other – and most importantly, with our kids.

Graphic photos change world Editor: Re: Taking a lead on leg-hold traps, March 14 column. After reading Andrew Holota’s recent column about an Abbotsford coyote caught in a leg-hold trap – left to suffer for possibly five days while
attempting to free itself by chewing off half of its leg, which trapped animals tend to do – the decision not to publish a photograph of this atrocity because it might be offensive to your readers is ludicrous. Wake up people! How many of us thought nothing of the war in Vietnam until we saw the now-famous photograph of a young girl running nude on fire, or the student standing in front of the tanks in Tiananmen Square, or the
oil-soaked wildlife after the Exxon Valdez spilled its guts? Those pictures changed the world. They brought home the atrocities, and we were touched enough to speak out and demand change. Today there is a gun war being fought just south of our borders. More than a million people have been shot and killed in this seemingly civilized country since the death of John Lennon, and one father from Sandy Hook is willing
Losing faith in White Rock Editor: Perhaps the time has come for White Rock residents to throw in their lot with Surrey. Once upon a time, we felt ourselves to be a close community of seaside dwellers sharing an idyllic lifestyle, the envy of the whole province. However, this is no longer the case. While we still enjoy a magnificent location, it is patently obvious that such a small city is unsustainable. Our businesses are fleeing the high taxes for opportunities elsewhere. Our community plan is being usurped by highrises and wall-to-wall mega-houses. Young families cannot afford to buy here and commit to a 30-40 per cent higher annual levy than on the other side of North Bluff. Because of the need for more revenue to fund our inefficient system, city hall has adopted a high-density policy that results in everyone paying more for less. Our councillors now feel they are not being remunerated adequately. Instead of voting themselves a raise, perhaps they should become statesmen – and women – and apply their energies to a brighter future for us all. I suggest council hold a referendum to discover the depth of support the residents of White Rock may have for amalgamation with the City of Surrey. A “yes” vote should indicate a mandate for our city hall to attempt to negotiate a fair and equitable re-incorporation. It behooves us to retire our smug quote “White Rock means never having to say you’re Surrey.” Today, our neighbour to the north has matured into a proud and progressive municipality. Surrey does not have to be sorry anymore! An amalgamation – if they will have us – would ease our financial distress and relieve the attendant pressure to wipe out what remains of our cherished community. Mary Ponsford, White Rock n And so I sit down beside my beautiful view of Semiahmoo Bay, curling up to read the March 7 edition of the Peace Arch News. I notice that project development is high in the news these days, and one needs to stay informed. With the Sausalito, Vidal and muffler-site surprises, who knows what’s next? Page 3 gets my attention: “Ocean Beach site up for redevelopment.” All of a sudden, I wake up!
to have his son’s photo published if it will stop the selling of the automatic weapons that took the life of his six-year-old. Every day, animals are abused and the perpetrators who walk among us walk free. Perhaps if the horrific cruelty was shown to the public, those pictures would do more than speak a thousand words. They would speak volumes, and we would demand change. Dee Walmsley, Surrey
Attendees of a recent information session look over proposed plans for the Ocean Beach Hotel site on White Rock’s Marine Drive.
File photo
Terror strikes at my very soul. That is between me and the beach. The enemy is now at my door. It calls for 35 residential units and a 45-stall parking garage. This can’t be happening, I shout. I saw no public notice or development sign out front. How can they do this, I ponder? But wait. God bless Peace Arch News. There will be a public meeting in a week. This is very serious. I’d better start reading all the articles in the PAN. Fast-forward to March 14. I read: “Docks talks bring no relief.” The article deals with coal being shipped to the Surrey docks through, you guessed it, White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin is indignant he was not informed and bemoans this sad state of affairs by saying, “the total lack of public consultation to get to the point where the city has to get its notice from the newspapers.” Ah ha. A knife in the back. Et tu, Brute, a.k.a your Worship. God bless the PAN. Lastly, allow me to explain my present dilemma and that of the residents of Victoria Terrace. This beautiful landscaped property is now threatened by a seven-level building directly between it and the beach. That is the plan brought forward by the owners of the Ocean Beach property. To do this, they require a variance to the height bylaw as it now stands. But, true to form, I am willing to bet they will drop one storey from the plans so that they will satisfy that insane height bylaw which we thought was fixed. I ask the question: Why can a developer apply for a variance – in this case, an increase in allowable height – because of hardship, when we as neighbours affected by the development cannot apply for a variance – in our case, a reduction in allowable height – because of hardship? Helloooooo! It’s a double standard!
White Rock should stop prostituting itself so it can pay the bills. If this is the only route council can follow, perhaps it is time to join with Surrey. I am sure Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts appreciates our unique ‘City by the Sea’ and would strive to keep it that way. Simon Bergen-Henengouwen, White Rock n An open letter to White Rock council. I would like to register my thoughts on the development proposed for the Ocean Beach Hotel and Victoria Avenue sites. What is most distressing is that a piece of the personality of the beach is being destroyed. This distinctive building with the curved roof was built in 1930. It is an historic site and a landmark. Most of us bought here because of the fabulous view and because of the holiday feel of the beach. According to the Ocean Beach web page, “perhaps the best asset of Ocean Beach is its location. (It) has one of the best ocean views you can find anywhere.” It is sad the proposed development would destroy the same valued view for its neighbours, even proposing excess height to assure developers make more money. Though for many of my neighbours, serious concerns about significant loss of property values when the view is lost is a major issue – some estimates are 20-30 per cent, or $100,000 or so. For those of us who expect to go out of here in a box, this is not the driving issue. For us, the destruction of the view and the destruction of a landmark is an issue; the lack of imagination used in planning for beach-area development is an issue. On our morning walks, we will see an edifice rather than a beach. We will see storefronts reminiscent of strip malls… yuck. I recognize that planning for restoration/ redevelopment of the beach area is complex. I also understand the additional major factor for the City of White Rock is the need to maximize tax revenues. I know that councillors are under-paid. I look at neighbouring Crescent Beach and see that they have been able to keep large developments away from their ‘precious jewel’ and wonder if it is not time to rejoin Surrey. Lower taxes, less need for large development, perhaps an opportunity to preserve what is precious about our beach community. Please, I implore you to be thoughtful and courageous as you consider these proposals. Julie Lefever, White Rock

Surrey firefighters stand near a motorcycle involved in a crash with a train Monday afternoon.
Motorcyclist in serious condition
Biker crashes into train A man is in serious condition in hospital after slamming into a train on his motorcycle. Police say a 19-year-old man from Vancouver was riding his motorcycle toward a train crossing at 124 Street and Scott Road in Bridgeview on Monday at about 3 p.m. when the crash
occurred. The train was already in the intersection when the motorcyclist slammed into the forward side of it, police say, adding he was dragged for some time. Police do not believe drugs or alcohol were factors in the accident; mechanical failure on the
motorcycle has not been ruled out. Speed has also been all but ruled out as a contributing factor. The injured man was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital where he remains in serious condition. Roads in the area were closed for most of Monday afternoon.

Newton grow-op house seized on Nov. 12, 2009, they began in the two-bedroom basement suite, where they found several garbage bags of marijuana plant clippings and tools. Mylar sheeting, often used by pot growers because its reflective surface maximizes light, covered the windows and floors of the bedrooms. Police seized 41.34 kg of dried marijuana from the suite, valued at about $180,000. On the main floor, a handgun magazine with one .45-calibre round was found in a desk drawer, as was a box containing 50 rounds of 9mm Luger ammunition. Above the desk, two envelopes with $4,700 cash were also discovered. The 80 pot plants were found under lights in the master bedroom on the third floor. There was also Mylar on the floors and walls there, a ventilation system, plant fertilizer and a box of digital security cameras. Munnue, who is single with no children, was never charged with any offence stemming from the police search, but admitted at trial that he was responsible for the marijuana grow operation on the

Growing pot in his house has cost a Surrey man his home. A B.C. Supreme Court justice has ordered the Newton-area, three-storey house be seized by the province under the Civil Forfeiture Act. William Khan Munnue, who is also known as Ali Haydar Kazan, Ali Kazan and Eldon Perryon, admitted having 80 marijuana plants on the upper floor of his home, but denied knowledge of a grow op in the two-bedroom basement suite, court documents note. The house is located at 12430 74 Ave. Munnue resided on the top two floors, and rented out the lower level. During his trial, Munnue represented himself and claimed not only was he unaware of the basement plants, but his own operation had only been running for six days prior to a police search in November 2009. He argued seizing his home would be disproportionate and unfair. When police searched the home

third floor. He testified the basement suite had been vacant since Oct. 28, when his previous tenants left without notice. Munnue said he only went in the suite once to clean up after they left. Justice Paul J. Pearlman didn’t buy the homeowner’s story. “I find that Mr. Munnue’s denial of any knowledge of the marijuana processing operation in the two-bedroom suite is not credible,” writes Pearlman in his March 12 decision. “He was acquainted with at least two of the persons involved. Those persons made no effort to conceal their presence on the property. Mr. Munnue had control of the two-bedroom basement suite. “ Pearlman called the grow-op “small but sophisticated.” The judge said while Munnue said he had learned his lesson and that the chance of him having a grow-up again was low, there was still a risk he’d allow similar unlawful activity again. He ordered Munnue to vacate the house, which was assessed at $571,000 in 2011, and that the province seize it and sell it.

In 2010, after her mother died, Taylor and the society began working on bringing in the Java Music Club – a research-based activity program designed to address depression and build a cultural of positive support in care homes and community health organizations through music and culture. While the program has been used mainly for those who are being cared for, Taylor plans to adapt it for caregivers. “Wholeheartedly, I want to take this and make it thrive,” said Taylor, who recently took on the role of caregiver outreach and education co-ordinator with the society. “Caregivers need someone to hold their hand through the journey, and that’s what Come Share does – from the initial point of contact, when our nurse upstairs phones them, right through to me phoning them up and asking how I can be of help. “Just having someone say I’m here for you, call me anytime.

Each of the four sessions will focus on a different topic, ranging from Taking Care of You to Overcoming Challenges. “They will be very interactive, it won’t just be me talking. The point is to connect the people who come,” Taylor said. “Caregivers don’t take the time to nurture their spirit and to refresh and uplift themselves, so through this office and the series, we are now going to go full-steam ahead with offering caregiving groups that provide support and generate a sense of community and belonging amongst caregivers to connect them to one another.” In order to keep herself focused, Taylor has hung three framed phrases on her office wall: promote peace, show love and nurture hope. “That’s what I want to do for people, in any capacity they need,” she said.

Rebate like one for transit will help hard-hit motorists: Cummins

some cautions built into that,” Cummins responded. “I don’t expect that there’d be widespread fraud. It’s not the practice of Canadians to do that.” Cummins said it’s possible but unlikely that a driver could qualify for the maximum $408 credit on both ferry and toll bridge use, earning a rebate of $816. Truckers wouldn’t initially be able to claim the toll, but Cummins
wants to do so by 2015, although he was unable to provide details. He noted truckers are diverting to the untolled Pattullo Bridge to avoid paying to cross the Port Mann. Another Conservative policy plank aimed at appealing to driver anger would repeal B.C.’s carbon tax. Cummins said that would translate into about $200 per year in relief for the typical motorist.
Canadian Taxpayers Federation B.C. director Jordan Bateman applauded the party for making bridge tolls an election issue. But he said it’s not clear to him how many drivers would benefit from the credit since they have to spend at least $760 each year in tolls or fares to qualify. And he questioned the Tories’ reliance on a high economic growth rate to generate more revenue.
“At least they’re putting the high fees on the agenda,” Bateman said. “The diagnosis is correct. I’m just not sure if the medicine will actually cure the problem.” Transportation Minister Mary Polak called the Conservatives’ tax credit proposal “completely unaffordable in terms of their budget.” She said it also runs contrary to the government’s
position that money for TransLink must be raised within the region, not siphoned from provincial taxes that should help fund priorities elsewhere. “I have a great deal of curiosity as to how his candidates running in other areas of the province feel about the province providing provincial resources to offset the cost for people who are commuting in Metro Vancouver.”

Poll finds respondents agree on need for new funding
‘Surprising’ support for tolls Jeff Nagel Black Press
Most Lower Mainland residents are willing to pony up more money for TransLink, but they’re split on exactly what kind of new tax, fee or toll should be imposed. That’s the result of a new online poll conducted by Insights West. It found 72 per cent of respondents support new funding sources for the troubled transportation authority, which needs billions of dollars to launch rapid transit expansions and maintain the existing system. About half of those supporters want new cash sources balanced with some service cuts as well, while just 12 per cent opposed any new funding and say TransLink should simply make cuts. “I am shocked at the number of people who are actually open to new funding options,” Insights West president Steve Mossop said. “They’re not particularly happy with the options in front of them on how they’re to be charged, but that’s pretty common when you’re talking about taxation.” Those polled were asked if they support raising existing transit fares, property taxes or fuel taxes, or adding new tools like a vehicle levy, a regional carbon tax, new road or bridge tolls, or a dedicated regional sales tax recently proposed by mayors.
Always the Best Deals in Town! • Fresh Fruit is Nature’s Fast Food! RED PEPPERS
Many Lower Mainland residents are willing to pay more for increased transit services, like the Canada Line. The option that scored best with 37 per cent support was raising transit fares, although backing was lopsided, with regular transit users strongly opposed. But a close and “surprising” second, according to Mossop, was road and bridge tolls, with 36 per cent support. “Out of all the evils, this is the one that seems to have the broadest support,” he said. “On the list of bad things, it’s the least bad.” Mossop said he believes initial anger about the tolling of the Port Mann Bridge is fading fast as drivers get used to the new reality. And he said the results give more ammunition to Metro Vancouver mayors, who want the province to allow comprehensive

road pricing – adding small road tolls everywhere instead of just tolling certain bridges. The option with the third most support was an annual vehicle levy, at 33 per cent, followed by a regional carbon tax at 26 per cent. The most unpopular source is the mayors’ proposal to add a new sales tax within Metro Vancouver of up to 0.5 per cent – 79 per cent of those polled opposed that idea. Also unpopular is any increase in property taxes or the gas tax, with opposition at 75 per cent and 74 per cent respectively. The poll surveyed 838 Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley adults in early March. For a full results breakdown see www. insightswest.com

TASTE OF SPRING
New family laws in effect Black Press
A major overhaul of B.C.’s family law is now in force, aimed at reducing disputes over shared parenting responsibilities and division of property when couples split up. The Family Law Act was passed in 2011 with support from both the B.C. Liberal government and the NDP opposition. It took effect March 18. One of the main changes is extending property division rules of marriage to unmarried couples who have lived together in a “marriage-like relationship” for at least two years. Those rules mean property acquired during a relationship is divided equally, unless the couple sign an agreement to split assets differently. Debts accumulated during the relationship must also be shared, including mortgages, loans from family members, credit card and income tax debt. As with a divorce, inheritances and property brought into the relationship by each partner are not shared.
Attorney General Shirley Bond introduced the changes as a way to keep family breakups out of court, and to take the “winlose” terminology out of parenting. The traditional terms, “custody” and “access” of children, have been dropped from the Family Law Act, replaced by “parental responsibilities,” “parenting time” and “guardianship.” The new act also makes it an offence for one parent to violate an agreed-to schedule for shared parenting. The law also requires parents who wish to relocate to give 60 days’ notice to those authorized to have contact with the children. That applies whether the children are involved in the relocation or not. Details of the new rules and answers to frequently asked questions are available on the B.C. government website at www. justicebc.ca/en/fam/. The site also has contact information for family justice centres that offer counselling at no charge.

With one crude oil pipeline to the West Coast undergoing environmental hearings and another waiting to apply, the federal government has announced stricter rules for foreign oil tanker inspections and more coastal flights looking for signs of oil spills. A new Canadian Coast Guard incident command system, improved hazard markers for shipping, increased surveillance flights and research into the hazards of heavy oil were announced in Vancouver Monday by federal Transport Minister Denis Lebel and Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver. The government has also tabled new legislation it says will strengthen requirements for pollution prevention and response at oil facilities and introduce new offences and penalties related to pollution. Foreign tankers will have to be inspected annually, a rule now in place for Canadian vessels, to see if they are equipped with double hulls and other safety features. An expert panel was also announced to review current standards and recommend further rules. Lebel and
Oliver described the program as moving to a “world-class tanker safety system,” the term used by B.C. Premier Christy Clark last year when she announced conditions for provincial acceptance of increased heavy oil shipments by pipeline and tanker. B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake said the announcement is a welcome step. “We’ll have to look at how it compares with other regimes, but from what I see here, it goes a long way toward getting to what we understand to be a world-class system,” Lake said. “If we’re going to have this material moved through the province, the environment and the taxpayer have to be protected to the fullest extent.” B.C. hired an Alaska consulting firm in February to conduct B.C.’s own review of spill response. Lake said that step is needed with or without proposed oil pipelines, since there are daily crude shipments from Alaska, exports of Alberta heavy crude from Burnaby, and a general increase in shipping for AsiaPacific trade. Transport Canada reports that there were about 1,500 tanker movements on the West Coast in 2009-10, among 475,000 total ship movements that year.

Energy Minister Rich Coleman said the Navigant report cost $40,000, and would be done by the province for any proposal of this scale, through the province’s major projects office. If built as planned, the Kitimat refinery would be the biggest private investment in B.C. history. The Navigant report describes a conventional coking process that extracts a coal-like byproduct from heavy oil. Black announced March 6 that his team was revising its environmental permit application to use a new process that would convert the coke and increase liquid fuel output. A conventional refinery of that size would fill 100 rail cars per day with petroleum coke, which is typically sold as fuel for hightemperature metal processing. A process patented last year by Calgary-based Expander Energy adapts a technique developed a century ago in Germany to convert coal to synthetic fuels.

last year (in between a busy slate of shows for his own Fighting Chance Productions in Vancouver). Essentially a sitcom that plays like a riff on elements of Fiddler On The Roof – Fools has a similar setting, a village in pre-revolution Russia at the end of the 19th century. Leon Tolchinski (Hunter Golden) has landed a job as a teacher in the idyllic hamlet. But it isn’t too long before he encounters the village’s 200-year-long curse – all of the villagers are chronically dim-witted, including the girl he falls in love with, his student Sophia Zubritsky (Melissa Paras), daughter of inept physician Dr. Zubritsky (Ryan Johnston) and his wife Lenya (Sheila Greentree). Complicating matters are the attentions of evil Count Gregor (Scott Milne), not to mention the local magistrate (Martin
Perrin) and the denseness of villagers Snetsky, Slovitch, Mishkin and Yenchna (Ray Van Ieperen, Paul Ferancik, Clive Ramroop and Helen Volkow). “The plot is pretty thin, basically a device to hang the jokes on, but it’s designed for people who want to enjoy a laugh and have a good time,” Mooney said. “It’s a lot of fun – an opportunity to come and turn your brain off for a couple of hours.” For Mooney, it’s a double pleasure – his first time directing a Simon show, and his first time to work with many actors whose work he’s enjoyed in other productions, as well as some newcomers refreshingly eager to work and learn in the theatre. The bonus is an abundance of creative input – as a director, Mooney relishes collaboration with his actors, rather than › see page 34

South Surrey’s Karen McKenzie scores interview with heavy-metal band Anvil
Blogger chats with rock legends Alex Browne Arts Reporter
When South Surrey singer/ voice teacher Karen McKenzie sent an email to Canadian heavy-metal legends Anvil she wasn’t really expecting a response. She’d just watched the documentary Anvil! The Story Of Anvil after finding it, by chance, on Netflix. And she wanted to let the founding members of the ’80s band, lead vocalist and guitarist Steve ‘Lips’ Kudlow and drummer Robb Reiner, know she’d been both inspired and Contributed photo touched by their story. Music teacher and blogger Karen McKenzie (above) recently As she relates on her blog, had the chance to interview Canadian heavy-metal band Anvil. the Toronto band, founded in 1978, had headlined with on their music. so pleased they would grant the likes of Whitesnake, Bon McKenzie also asked if they me an interview,” she said.

the documentary, produced by some former roadies of the band, has coincided with a rediscovery and resurgence of interest in Anvil and their music. The documentary concludes with a triumphant return to Japan in a stadium concert before 10,000 people, she said. “They also had quite a big success at the North American Metal Music Festival last year,” said McKenzie, who also noted the band, which now includes bassist Sal Italiano, is now mastering communication through social media such as Facebook and Twitter. It’s something that McKenzie, a former student of noted Vancouver coach Jan Cooper, has also used to her advantage. “I only started the blog in December and it has progressed rapidly,” she said, adding that it has grown from a series of personal hints and tips for singers to a venue for professional guest bloggers who’ve shared their insights. But the biggest coup, so far, has been the interview with Anvil, she said. “They really were just huge fans of the music, and they stayed together for years and years. They are a great testament to sticking to your dream.”

Hey Ocean, Lights to headline Surrey Earth Day celebrations
A workshop designed for those who provide care and support of others who cannot live independently. In today’s fast paced world, it’s a challenge for mid-life children to attend to their own children, home life, careers, commitments to family and aging parents
Party performers pinned Sheila Reynolds Black Press
Lights and Hey Ocean have been announced as the headlining musical acts at Surrey’s Earth Day festivities next month. Party for the Planet – billed as B.C.’s largest Earth Day – is planned for April 27 at Central City Plaza. The free one-day event starts at 10 a.m. and runs until 9 p.m., featuring a lineup of performers throughout the day. Juno award-winning electrorock-pop artist Lights first hit the music scene in 2008. Her self-titled debut album earned her a Juno for Best New Artist and she followed
that up with a gold-selling album The Listening. After that, Lights was ready to open herself up to collaborations on her unexpectedly experimental album Siberia. Hey Ocean is a Juno nominee this year for Breakthrough Band of the Year. With songs such as Big Blue Wave and Too Soon, their blended musical styles have resulted in a unique pop sound that sets them apart. Prior to taking the Surrey stage, Lights and Hey Ocean will be hosting an autograph session at 3 p.m. near Future Shop inside Central City Mall. Other performers will include
Vancouver pop-punk band Fighting for Ithaca, countryrock group The Matinée and folk/reggae/blues artist Shane Philip, as well as a selection of children’s performers and nonsinging acts, such as jugglers, who will take to the stage earlier in the day. “Party for the Planet is a great community celebration which allows us to highlight some of the innovative environmental initiatives underway in Surrey, as well as enjoy some familyfun entertainment,” said Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Ravens 2nd, 5th in B.C. Members of the Semiahmoo Ravens peewee A4 team returned home from Grand Forks with medals last week, after finishing second at B.C. hockey championships. A second Semiahmoo squad – the midget A4s – also fared well at their own provincial showdown, placing fifth in Lillooet. In the peewee championship game last Thursday, Semiahmoo was edged 7-4 by Vanderhoof. Vanderhoof opened the scoring in the first period against a slightly tentative Ravens squad, and the North Western region champions led Semi – representing the Lower Mainland – 3-1 by the end of the opening period. The Ravens stormed back in the middle frame, however, and quickly tied the game at three goals apiece. In the third, Semi took a lead over Vanderhoof, but the fairy-tale championship ending was not to be, as Vanderhoof quickly tied the game, and took the lead midway through the third period. As the clock ticked down, Vanderhoof tacked on a pair of insurance markers. Earlier in the tournament, Semiahmoo earned a berth in the final game after a 9-1 thumping of Prince George last Thursday morning, with the Ravens exploding for eight goals over the final two periods to break open a game that was tied 1-1 after the first frame. In the round-robin portion of the tournament, Semiahmoo opened with a win over Juan de Fuca; then defeated Windermere Valley – who earlier in the season beat Semi 8-2 – by a 7-1 score; Grand Forks, 4-0; and Kelowna, 1-0. The Ravens’ lone round-robin loss came against Vanderhoof, who scored four thirdperiod goals against to win 10-6. In midget A4 provincials in Lillooet, Semiahmoo won once and lost twice. The Ravens opened with a 6-5 loss to Windermere Valley in their first game, before bouncing back to beat Chetwynd 8-0. Following that, Semi lost 6-3 to Kelowna. In the loss to Windermere, Semi was paced by Quinn Ripley, who had two goals and one assist, while Jordan Penner and Bradan Thain each had a goal and an assist, and Riley Estey chipped in with three assists. In the shutout win over Chetwynd, Estey had four more helpers, Penner had two goals and three assists and Kyle Brock had two goals and one assist. In the tournamentending loss to Kelowna, Estey, Brock and Ripley were the Semiahmoo goal-scorers. – Nick Greenizan
Michael Stenerson scores Game 3 winner to send Surrey to conference finals
Eagles advance with OT win Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Surrrey Eagles forward Michael Stenerson celebrates a goal last weekend. He had plenty more to get excited about Monday, after scoring the series-clinching goal against Chilliwack.
Get the brooms out, the Surrey Eagles are sweeping up the competition. An overtime goal by Michael Stenerson Monday night at Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre propelled the suddenly soaring Surrey Eagles into the BC Hockey League’s Coastal Conference finals after a 3-2 series-ending overtime win over the Chilliwack Chiefs. The Eagles swept the best-offive series in three straight games, and have lost just once in seven post-season contests. They now await the winner of the Coastal Conference’s other semifinal between the Alberni Valley Bulldogs and Victoria Grizzlies. Stenerson propelled the Eagles into the next round when he took a pass from Demico Hannoun – who had retrieved a loose puck in the corner – and fired it into the top corner of the net, over the shoulder of Chilliwack netminder Mitch Gillam. “I made a chip pass to (Brady) Shaw, and then I kind of just stood there because he made a couple nice moves and almost put it in. Then Chico (Hannoun) wound up with it, and I got lucky coming in late… I just shot it high and it went in,” Stenerson explained to Eagles play-by-play broadcaster Brendan Batchelor after the game. “It’s probably the biggest goal I’ve ever scored in my career.” The goal was the second scoring chance of the extra period for Stenerson, a Semiahmoo Minor Hockey Association alum who will skate next season at the University of Alaska-Anchorage. Just moments before he scored the winner, he had a breakaway but fired the puck high over the net. “We had a couple chances there in overtime… Shawsy had a couple chances and then Steny (had a chance) when their d-man blew a wheel there and he had an opportunity,” said head coach Matt Erhart. “All of a sudden, the puck came › see page 40

team. The only bad news for Surrey came in the third period, when Tambellini left the game after falling awkwardly into the boards. Erhart, however, expected him to be ready for the conference finals, which begin Friday. “It’ll be nice to have these couple days off to get our team back up healthy and 100 per cent,” he said. The Coastal Conference final – a best-of-seven series – begins Friday at South Surrey Arena. And though happy that the three-game sweep gives his players time to rest – and the coaches time to plan for the next round – Erhart admitted the series was closer than the 3-0 score would suggest. “In Game 1, I thought we were the better team, but Game 2 easily could’ve went either way, a coin flip. And (Monday night), same thing… they had lots of pressure on us, had close to 50 shots,” the coach said. “We did a pretty good job, and got some lucky bounces – shots hit some sticks and some skates… sometimes you need lucky bounces on the road in the playoffs (in order) to get those big wins.”

› from page 39 back. I haven’t seen Michael score a goal by raising the puck all year, and he ripped that one in there.” As they have in all but one playoff game – a shutout loss to Langley in the first round – the Eagles again got on the board first Monday against the Chiefs, taking a 1-0 lead when Adam Tambellini’s wrist shot beat Gillam near the end of the first period. The lead lasted barely two minutes, however, as Chilliwack sniper Austin Plevy tied the score when he knocked a pass from Luke Esposito out of mid-air and past Eagles goalie Michael Santaguida, who stopped 45 of 47 shots he faced. The teams traded goals in the second period, with Chilliwack’s Spencer Graboski scoring a controversial marker at the 12:48 mark – the referee did not signal a goal right away, as the puck caromed off Graboski’s skate, but after a powwow between officials, it was deemed a good goal. Brett Mulcahy replied for Surrey, with Stenerson picking up an assist. Neither team scored in a tightchecking third period, though Drew Best and Kevan Killistoff each had chances for the visiting

should be completed by no later than age seven. You may be wondering what is so significant about the age of seven. Well, the reason is simple – spotting a subtle problem early may prevent more serious problems from developing and make treatment at a later age shorter and less complicated. In some cases, the orthodontist will be able to get results that may not be possible once the face and jaws are fully developed. Orthodontic decisions made when your child is seven years old are really planning steps for what teeth will look like when they are 30, 40, or 50 years old. To summarize, here are six reasons why early orthodontic consultation and treatment is recommended: 1. Avoid surgery and extractions 2. Easier treatment 3. Shorter treatment 4.

5. Complimentary regular monitoring 6. No referral necessary We often repeat to parents, “an early consultation could have avoided our discussion about extractions or surgery.” This is discouraging since a complimentary consultation just needs to be proactive. Most parents are not aware that a referral from your dentist is not necessary – parents can directly contact an Orthodontist to schedule an appointment. During the consultation, it’s important to ask your orthodontist, “What would you do if this were your child?” This question usually prompts the most forthcoming answers. Overall, Orthodontists want your child to benefit from their orthodontic treatment just as much as you do. To ensure the best results from orthodontic treatment before treatment even begins, make sure you child comes in for a consultation before the age of seven.

Senior women’s bonspiel draws hundreds from across B.C.
Island rink wins Nifty Fifty Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Dan Ferguson photo
Some green-clad curlers, like Peace Arch’s Janice Noakes, got into the St. Patrick’s Day spirit at the Nifty Fifty bonspiel last week in White Rock.
A Parksville rink skipped by Sheila Dale placed first at last week’s Nifty Fifty bonspiel at the Peace Arch Curling Centre. Dale’s rink – which finished with a total of 48 points – was the only team to go undefeated at the event, which ran from March 17-20 in White Rock. Placing second in the ‘A’ bracket was a Juan de Fuca rink skipped by Shirley Sheldrake. The bonspiel’s ‘B’ event was equally exciting, though for different reasons. On the final day of competition, a nearby car
crash – in which a van apparently crashed into a power pole on North Bluff Road – caused power to the curling rink to be temporarily knocked out before all games could be finished. “One for the books, for sure,” said bonspiel chair Martha McArthur. As a result of the power failure, scores were rolled back to the fourth end – which all teams had completed – and the ‘B’ event winner was deemed to be Esquimalt’s Yvonne Leach rink. Second place in the ‘B’ event went to Nancy Douglas from Parksville, while a Peace
Arch rink skipped by Rosella Moloughney was fifth. The over-50 women’s bonspiel featured 32 teams – and 128 curlers – from across the province. To officially begin the bonspiel, Peace Arch Curling Club member Divera Meeres, 82, threw a ceremonial first rock, which was swept by two young members of PACC’s junior girls program. A Scottish piper and a welcome speech from White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin also helped kick off the festivities last week.

Cressey selling second development with amenities on penthouse level
Top-floor amenity space a new trend Traditionally, the topmost floors of a high-rise are set aside for the penthouses, allowing those with a larger budget to purchase the best views in the building. Cressey is giving that view to all of its residents by placing two floors of amenities space on the top floors of its upcoming MThree development. “MThree will be the tallest building in Coquitlam at 48 storeys,” says Cressey’s Hani Lammam. “You can see ocean essentially.” The top two floors of the building will be made almost entirely of glass, and will hold a fitness facility, musical practice rooms, lounge and outdoor barbecue space, among other things.
There will still be penthouse-style homes in the development. Cressey has tried this experiment before, at their recent Southeast False Creek development, James. “It was wildly successful,” Lammam says. “People can host parties and gatherings in the space. It gives them a bit more space to entertain.” James also includes an outdoor space, secure children’s play area and community garden plots on its roof. “This kind of space draws people there,” Lammam says. For more information about MThree, visit www.liveatmthree.com or call 604-472-9555.
Life on the river
Riverfront living at Richmond’s Parc Riviera By Kerry Vital
Richmond is known as the Island City By Nature, and nowhere is this more evident than at Parc Riviera, in scenic North Richmond. “This is a waterfront location with a ton of green space,” says sales and marketing director Dave Bauman. “The dyke trail is right in your front yard.” Along with the dyke, there is five acres of park and green space right in Parc Riviera, as well as family picnic areas and playgrounds for the kids. There is also a large clubhouse on-site with a lap pool, hot tub, fitness centre, lounge and a 5,500-square-foot daycare facility. There are plans in the works for a restaurant and retail space in the future. “People love the life on the river,” Bauman says. “It’s hard to beat that.” In order to maximize the views from every home, the buildings will be constructed in a stepped design from four to six storeys.
bridge, Bauman says. This makes for an easy commute for those working outside of Richmond. The Vancouver International Airport is easily accessible, as well as the Knight Street bridge and East-West Connector/Highway 91. Shopping is less than five minutes away, along with dining and elementary and secondary education at one of Richmond’s excellent schools. If you’re in the mood for some exercise beyond the dyke, the Richmond Olympic Oval and Cambie Community Centre are just minutes away by car. “This is a master-planned community that offers a great value,” Bauman says. The first phase is currently selling. Homes start at the mid-$200,000s for a condo and low $400,000s for a townhome. For more information, visit www.parcriviera.com or call 604-231-5900.
“
This is a master-planned community that offers a great value,” says sales and marketing director Dave Bauman.
The two- and three-bedroom homes in a range of condominium and townhome floorplans are spacious and open, with nine-foot ceilings and chic hardwood flooring throughout the living and dining areas. There will be outdoor space for every home, including an oversized balcony with granite tile flooring. The modern kitchens feature quartz countertops complemented by a glass tile backsplash, under-cabinet LED lighting and stainless-steel appliances, including a gas cooktop. Select homes will include a convenient breakfast bar as well. The bathrooms are luxurious and relaxing, with their own quartz countertops and a full-height imported porcelain shower surround with polished accents. A soaker tub from Maax is also included in the bathroom, along with large-format imported porcelain tile flooring. Parc Riviera will be located just two minutes from the Oak Street
Submitted photos
Parc Riviera is currently selling its first phase, encompassing more than 200 homes. Eventually, the development will hold over 1,000 homes in a range of condominium and townhome floorplans.

Richard had great pride in his service as flight engineer with the RCAF during WWII. He loved to travel in his RV, socialize over a cup of coffee with his many friends, and discuss the newest models of cars, trucks and tractors. He lived a long and fruitful life with many accomplishments of which we can be proud. Richard was predeceased by his beloved wife, Barbara and his brother, Alan.

CLARK, Clayton Lindsay (Clay) 1933 - 2013 We are deeply saddened to announce Clay’s death on Sunday, March 24th at Peace Arch Hospital, after a lengthy battle with lung cancer. He was 79. Clay was pre-deceased by his parents, father Sandy and mother Alice and also by his younger brother, Grant. Left to mourn are his three daughters, the two oldest girls, Carolyn (John) and Janice (Paul) and their mother Jane, and his youngest daughter Lindsay (Keith) and her mother Susan. Also left are his four beloved grandchildren, Gillian, Ian, Erin and Madeline. He leaves his brother Lee and sisters Beryl, Fay, Sandra, Anne (Vic), Sheila (Marvin), 19 nieces and nephews, and many grand nieces and nephews. Clay was born in Nipawin, Sask., but most of his childhood was spent on Vancouver Island. After finishing high school he joined the Air Force. The courses he took while in the Force helped launch his lengthy career first as a technician with Canadian Telephone & Supplies, and later as a supervisor with BC Telephone. He retired from BC Tel in 1988 but continued to be active in the telecommunications industry. In his retirement he enjoyed many games of golf at Swan-e-Set, where he was a member. He was an avid hockey and football fan attending many local games. He played and coached softball throughout most of his life. Clay loved life and he was most happy attending gatherings with family and friends, where he would be one of the last to leave. He will be missed. We would like to thank Dr. Gibbings and Dr. Pretty and the hospice nurses for their kind and loving care while Clay was in Peace Arch Hospital. In lieu of flowers donations can be made in Clay’s memory to the Hospice or Emergency Ward at Peace Arch Hospital.
The Funeral Service will be held at 1pm on April 6th Maple Ridge Funeral Chapel 11969 - 216th Street. Condolences may be sent to www.mapleridgefuneral.ca
