Boaters steer clear of White Rock due to lack of moorage: councillor

City eyes buoys for summer Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Beth Hutchinson was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour.

Treatment sought

City of White Rock staff are weighing the costs and feasibility of making it easier for visiting boaters to moor overnight in Semiahmoo Bay. Council last week unanimously endorsed a recommendation by the city’s environment committee to investigate installing six mooring buoys south of the breakwater. It’s simply the right thing to do, committee vice-chair Gary Saunders said. “It really is a no-brainer,” Saunders told Peace Arch News Tuesday. “It’s a safety issue, it’s being

environmentally responsible – it’s a good thing.” The buoys enable boaters to “park” their vessel off-shore without weighing anchor. They typically have a weight that sits on the ocean floor that’s attached by a chain to a rubber ball that floats on the surface, said Saunders, who is also president of the White Rock Harbour Board. Boaters simply tie up to loops or eyes that are connected to the buoy. Eliminating the need to weigh anchor is not only more convenient for boaters, it protects the ocean floor from damage that can occur from anchors ripping up the sensitive eel grass.

“I guess technically, you’ll disturb the ocean floor once, while you lay that mooring block down, but after that, that’s it,” Saunders said. “As opposed to boats coming and going, anchors up and down, up and down, dragging across the floor. “Even in a light breeze, a boat will drift. We’re trying to get away from that.” Coun. Grant Meyer – the council representative on the environment committee and a boater himself – said the buoys “just make sense.” › see page 10

A father’s hope Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

It’s a hard story to comprehend: a loving father and husband loses his wife to cancer, only to find out soon after that his 16-year-old daughter has been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour. At this point in the conversation, many would want to tune out and switch to a lighter topic. But for David Hutchinson, this is no story; this is his life for the past four years. Since receiving David Hutchinson news that the father eldest of his two daughters, Beth, was fighting for her life, the father has spent countless hours scouring the Internet, books and other resources to find a way to help her. “Conventional medicine, for Beth, has drawn a blank. There is no cure they can offer her at the hospital,” Hutchinson, 52, said. “So we began to look outside of conventional medicine.” During his search, Hutchinson came across Dr. Gurdev Parmar of Fort Langley’s Integrated Health clinic, which offers loco-regional hyperthermia treatment. The promising therapy seemed like the next step for Beth, now 20. › see page 4

State-of-city address targets education, public transit and health care

Surrey pools resources for new school Kevin Diakiw Black Press

More schools, effective transit and accessible health care were some of the highlights of the mayor’s State of the City address delivered on Wednesday afternoon. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts spoke to a crowd of 500 at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel, where she announced some initiatives to help with health care, transit and education. The city will be partnering with the Surrey School District to create a “Campus of

Learning-Active Living and Sport Excellence” in South Surrey’s Grandview area. The plan is to create a new high school right next to where the city is building a recreation and aquatic centre at 24 Avenue and 168 Street. Both Surrey and the school district own land there, and will be lobbying the provincial government for capital funding to build the school. “This new model, we are pleased to say, can be replicated anywhere in the city,” Watts told the crowd. “This campus includes an aquatic centre/new secondary school/community campus

of support services and shared infrastructure.” The new high school would take pressure off overcrowded Earl Marriott Secondary School at 16 Avenue and 157 Street. She also said more capacity for post-secondary education must be a top priority for the provincial government. “Almost a quarter of all B.C. students come from Surrey/south of the Fraser. In Surrey we have 13 spaces for every 100 students,” Watts said. “That simply isn’t good enough.” › see page 10

Kitimat project comes at right time, writes business leader

★★

Refinery is beyond politics Jim Shepard

Special to Black Press

The Kitimat Refinery Project: I first heard of this concept from David Black a number of years ago. At the time, I was skeptical of its chances. My initially negative attitude was based mainly on my experience of 10 years service on the board of directors of Imperial Oil. Since I was accustomed to the discussion of petroleum economics centered in Calgary, I saw no need for Jim Shepard a refinery in Kitimat. That attitude was based on the fact there had not been a new refinery built in North America in many years. Any needed increase in petroleum production was achieved by expansion of existing refineries throughout North America. But after my service with Imperial Oil, I went on to serve four years at Canfor, which led to my nine visits to China in search of lumber markets. My exposure to the phenomenal expansion of China’s economy opened my eyes to the true merit of the Kitimat refinery concept. It made me realize that it would not be just another refinery relying on the North America market but rather a refinery that would supply the vast appetite of China for petroleum products. The challenge will be to draw the attention of Asian investors who would see the value to this investment. It appears that David Black – owner of Peace Arch News’ parent company Black

Press – after many years of effort, is nearing an agreement that could provide the vast capital infusion needed to make this refinery initiative a reality. The appetite for oil products for all Asia will continue to grow and the Kitimat refinery is ideally situated to take advantage. Asian countries, especially China, are interested in securing sustainable supply of resources that will flow freely without undue trade barriers like surprises with taxes, regulations or tariffs. Canada has a good reputation as a free-trade country that can be relied on as a dependable source of supply. Now is a very opportune time to attract the vast investment needed to make the Kitimat refinery go ahead. David Black, with his years of diligence, deserves our appreciation for displaying the foresight and courage to invest his time, money and reputation to help bring along this huge initiative. The positive merits of the Kitimat refinery are so profound that this project is really beyond any political persuasion. Any and all supporters of NDP, Liberal, Conservative or even Green should see the tremendous benefits that would come to B.C. This initiative will involve the investment of many billions of dollars. That’s for sure. It’s hard to visualize a million – let alone a billion – of any thing. So let’s look at the “on the ground” facts of such an undertaking for all of us in B.C. Let’s start with the big picture. When it comes to the benefits of a petroleum cycle from well exploration to the gas station, the jurisdiction that hosts the

What distinguishes Express Currency from all the rest?

refining process enjoys a huge portion of the value addition to the raw material. For the KFC Project, that would mean several thousand mostly trade union jobs for the multi-year term of the construction phase. It would also mean the creation of more than 3,000 permanent jobs for the operation and supply support of the refinery when running. This refinery would be processing 175 million barrels per year, which means the tax revenue that could go toward health care, education, vital services for the disabled and elderly would be immense. But job creation and tax revenue are not the only desirable features of the KRC. It also would provide much lower risk to the marine environment. The shipments out of the refinery would be finished product, like aviation fuel, gasoline and diesel. These products, if spilt, would be much less impactful on the environment. They would also be transported in smaller ships. I know there are those on both sides of the political aisle that address this as a political issue. And I would disagree with both. This is a project that can be attractive to all political stripes. Based on the huge positive impact this initiative could have on B.C., I think the question should not be if we want it… but rather, how can we help make sure that the petroleum world sees this as an attractive way to invest billions of shareholder capital. Jim Shepard is retired as president of Finning and Canfor.

Marine Drive property owner ‘exploring all his options’

Ocean Beach Hotel proposal postponed Alex Browne Staff Reporter

The Ocean Beach Hotel zoning amendment application is on hold – for now. White Rock planning and development services director Paul Stanton confirmed Tuesday that hotel owner Tony Veltri and his architects, Ankenman Marchand, have asked for “a deferral to reconsider their proposal.” Preliminary plans for redevelopment of the site, presented at a public-information meeting last month, included a two-building mixed residential-commercial project. Residents up in arms over the city’s proposed CR-3 zoning bylaw have suggested it

may have a significant impact on the direction of of the project, aimed at replacing the historic, but aging, hotel block. White Rock council will vote Monday on the controversial new zoning bylaw, which could relax restrictions on development along the waterfront, including maximum heights, density and the requirement that retail space be included in the ground floor of all buildings. But project architect Tim Ankenman told the Peace Arch News he still expects a lengthy process of determining what will be “financially feasible” for the hotel site. Ankenman – also the architect for the contentious White Rock Muffler site rede-

velopment – said the well-attended March 13 information meeting provided valuable feedback that suggested to him there is a public appetite for redevelopment of the hotel site. “Most people feel the building has reached the end of its useful life and that something should be done on the site,” he said. “What needs to be seen is if there is any taste at all for going over the height limit – which is not proposed, as yet.” Veltri has owned the property for a long time, he noted. “He’s not in a big hurry to do anything – he’s exploring all his options. Nothing is going to happen overnight.

“He’s trying to get a sense of what’s possible on the site, and if it makes financial sense for him to move forward.” Ankenman acknowledged that the former cabaret-lounge portion of the hotel is currently being leased for a new business venture. The Joseph Richard Group, operators of the Town Hall chain of suburban pubs, have announced the venue is being re-modelled for reopening as the Hemingway Public House. Group principals Ryan Moreno and Andre Bourque have not returned calls about what impact Veltri’s zoning-amendment application would have on their plans.

Rental suites illegal: city

Battle over B&B bylaw Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

White Rock’s bed-and-breakfast community say at least three members are facing a huge financial hit if the city enforces a bylaw restricting the use of vacation rental suites. Members of the White Rock Bed & Breakfast Association say proposed omnibus Bylaw 2000 – which allows rental suites to operate with a licence, but not in conjunction with a bed-and-breakfast – may force three popular tourist accommodations to close their doors. But while director of development services Paul Stanton noted that many business owners contesting the bylaw have been renting out their suites illegally, association president David Webb insists former city staff gave them the thumbs-up. “Five years or so ago, when we were getting the licensing for bed and breakfasts, in a discussion with the city, they said it was fine to have the rental suites, but they never wrote anything down. It was agreed upon, but I guess it was never included with the regulations,” said Webb, who is a former city councillor. According to Stanton, vacation rentals are Sarah Massah photo not permitted under the current Zoning David and Marilyn Webb, owners of Ocean Rose Bed and Breakfast, are worried a proposed bylaw may financially hurt other local B&Bs.

The alternative treatment uses heat to damage or kill cancer cells, or can make the cells more sensitive to the effects of radiation and chemotherapy, Spencer explained. “They have had quite a bit of success in helping people live much longer,” she said. Since taking on the task of fundraising, Spencer has organized a pub night slated for April 6 at Sawbucks Pub, 1626 152 St. Tickets to the event, which kicks off at 6 p.m., include dinner and a drink. Spencer noted there will be a 50/50 draw and a silent auction during the evening. She has also set up an account in Beth’s name at Coast Capital Savings in Ocean Park (account number 110000290981), and in May is organizing a cruise and

art auction with Chris Boycott – owner of Magic Yacht Charters which runs out of the Westin Bayshore Resort and Marina in Vancouver – who is a friend of David’s and who donated a yacht for the cause. “David and I thought it would be good to put the art auction we had been planning together with the cruise,” Spencer said, noting several prominent artists – including Zoe Sava, who teaches in White Rock – have donated their art for the event. “Many followed suit after Zoe offered to help. It was like a snowball effect. And this is really phenomenal art, I would be proud to have their work in my home,” Spencer said. “It’s great to see there are good people out there who are ready to help.” For tickets to the pub night ($20) and cruise ($50), phone Spencer at 604-542-2299 or email eileenspencer@shaw.ca

When the South Surrey man’s friend, Eileen Spencer, heard about his plight, she decided to get involved. “I heard that he was almost in the position of having to say no because he didn’t know where the money was going to come from. So, I said, let’s go out and do this. Let’s fundraise and see what we can do,” Spencer said. Spencer knows firsthand the results that can come from Parmar’s treatment. After being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year at age 68, Hutchinson had informed her of the alternative treatment. At the time she went in, Spencer had an 80 per cent ‘tumour load’ in her liver, after the cancer had metastasized.

Freeway interchange begins construction

Major impasse on 16 Avenue Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Don’t include 16 Avenue east of King George Boulevard in South Surrey in your local travel plans any time soon. The busy main route closed to traffic this week in the vicinity of construction of the new Highway 99/16 Avenue interchange – and can be expected to stay that way through the summer, according to the Ministry of Transportation. Truck traffic is being diverted to 8 Avenue, and the move can also be expected to boost traf-

fic volume on both 8, 24 and 32 avenues, plus King George Boulevard and 176 Street, for the five months required for completion of Phase 1 of the project. The first phase includes demolition of the existing overpass and construction of a new sixlane overpass, plus widening of 16 Avenue to four lanes between King George and the freeway. According to ministry spokesperson Kate Trotter, preparations for demolition of the old structure, expected to take place later this month, have begun.

“During demolition, Highway 99 will be reduced to single-lane traffic in each direction via a median crossover,” she said. “This will take place in windows between 7 p.m. Friday and 5 a.m. Monday.” Contracts for the second phase of the $24-million project, including construction of all four on/off ramps and noise barriers for the west side of Highway 99, are expected to be awarded this month. The overall project is expected to be complete by October 2014.

The cost of saving O

ver the Easter long weekend, thousands of bargain-hungry Lower Mainland residents fled Arizona-like temperatures here in search of good deals south of the border. With the Canadian dollar hovering at par, premium outlet stores likely scooped up hardearned Canuck bucks that had been exchanged for U.S. greenbacks. This is nothing new. Cross-border shopping tends to rise and fall with the exchange rate – and dipped appreciably when the loonie was low between the early 1990s and 2003. For the most part, the government has taken a hands-off approach, netting millions in customs duties and foregoing millions from people who bring items across but don’t declare or are within their legal limits. But some would like to see the government do more to keep shoppers close to home. Reducing tariffs is seen as one way to make Canadian retailers more competitive. Some fiddling has already taken place, with a reduction in imports for sporting gear and baby clothes. But many worry a corresponding increase in tariffs on a number of countries that used to get a break, because their economies were small and struggling, now no longer do. China was one such country. It’s true that tightening that loophole might hike consumer prices three per cent in the short-term until importers can cut better deals. But it’s hard to justify this special deal, which was originally conceived as a form of “aid,” for a country like China, which has the largest economy in the world. Canada needs to strengthen its own manufacturing industry to become more diversified and, to this end, the government has cut import duties on manufacturing equipment while ending deals for competing countries. What can Canadians do to help support our economy, which pays for the health care, social services and infrastructure that support us every day? They can do a better job at math for one. As Target shoppers are starting to find out in Ontario, it’s more expensive to do business here, and even the big U.S. retailers’ prices north of the border reflect that. Then, when they head south, they can add travel time, border lineups, the cost of gas, food and accommodation to their so-called savings to see if they still come out ahead.

As the report notes, six of the seven members of the Surrey Board of Education are longtime trustees and, as such, they have years of experience to bring to the table. While I haven’t attended a board meeting in a long time, I did cover the board for years as a reporter. I know that many of the current trustees are outstanding individuals who are knowledgeable about education and work well together. There is not an “us-versus-them” attitude at the board table, as there was at times in the 1980s and 1990s, and even as recently as about seven or eight years ago. The Surrey district has always attracted exceptional staff – going back at least 60 years. It has had good leadership from strong superintendents, and has had competent and experienced staff in the areas of educational practices, counselling, special education, project supervision and financial management. This culture of excellence didn’t always show up at the board table, and trustees sometimes created new and unnecessary challenges for the district’s staff. However, I cannot think of an instance in the past 35 years where staff did not respond professionally. The auditor general’s report confirms to me that the school district continues to be well-managed by its professional staff, that the board is doing its best to be open and transparent, and that the calibre of education in Surrey will continue to be good.

Peace Arch News

We closed our doors on them Editor: Re: Through one mother’s eyes, March 28. Cyndie Richards’ article was wellwritten and brought back memories. I remember well the huge mistake of closing the Riverview facilities for the mentally ill in Coquitlam. We were told they would be taken in by their families and would receive government support. Few families had the capabilities or the funds to adequately give the care and treatment to support these individuals. Many of the people drifted to the downtown skid row and were taken advantage of by some of the predators in that area. They still cuddle up by themselves with their prize possessions in doorways and alleyways to feel safe. How can our governments spend huge amounts of our tax dollars on high salaries, bonuses, fat pensions, advertising, promotional trips, numerous useless committees, boards – the list is endless – but cannot strike at the root of our challenges in this new violent society we have created? These same governments release criminals out on the streets with dire warnings, “liable to repeat the same offences,” so beware public. These same criminals came from institutions where they are treated better than the mentally ill or oldage pensioners. What a farce and waste. Whatever has happened to common sense? Whatever happened to responsible government? We need facilities for the mentally ill who need this care, as they are not responsible for their actions. We need to get rid of the corruption and waste in our governments on all levels. We can accomplish this mission only if we all complain loudly that we are fed up with the present system. Jim Enos, Surrey

Fired up over selfishness Editor: To the people who want to party at White Rock beach, I ask that you think before you light that fire. Last week, when you were drinking at West Beach, did you really not realize you did not put the fire out? The broken liquor bottle you left behind for children to cut themselves on was stupid enough, but at approximately 10:30 a.m. the next morning, the smoke started to billow from the logs on the fire that you probably thought you had put out the night before. I called the fire department. They sent firemen to actually carry the logs out to the water. Our firefighters are not for frivolous call-outs but for serious help. They are highly skilled individuals. Yes, I felt silly calling them, but I had the little ones with me and would have been more upset if someone had been burned or cut because of a few thoughtless individuals the night before.

It’s that time of year again – beautiful weather and the urge to have a fire at the beach. Don’t do it! Karen Smith, White Rock

Simple request goes ignored Editor: White Rock’s new Zoning Bylaw 2000, being introduced for very specific West Beach commercial properties that front Marine Drive, is flawed and concerns local residents. The bylaw will allow four-storey buildings to be built without any first-floor commercial component. Taking the commercial requirement out allows properties like the Ocean Beach Hotel to build a structure out of character with adjacent properties. As well, the new bylaw doesn’t

correct the very contentious issue of natural grade versus existing grade. The current natural-grade method using the land elevations from 80 years ago to calculate building height is seriously flawed. The topography has changed. This has resulted in one new building being 21 feet higher than it should be and compromising the views of longtime residents. This is not fair. The mayor, council and city planner are all on record as saying the new Bylaw 2000 zone CR-3 is more restrictive to developers than the old CR-2. But that is simply not the case and can be easily seen by anyone by comparing – online if you wish – the two zones. As legally required, a public hearing was called to allow the citizens of White Rock to voice any questions or concerns about the new bylaw (West Beach residents seek bylaw change, March 28).

There was a huge voicing of disapproval on this particular zoning, but there seems to be a disconnect or lack of concern by the present-day council to address the concerns of the residents and protect their interests. A feeble attempt to justify the new bylaw was made by applying their new bylaw using a 30-year-old existing structure. This was totally irrelevant to our concerns about future buildings. Instead, we encouraged them to use a real building proposal application in front of them that demonstrates our concerns exactly and shows the negative effect it will have on existing residents’ properties. So far they have refused. So we are confused. Why not make the simple changes to the bylaw we requested to protect the citizens of White Rock? R. Mennear, White Rock

Residents protesting coal-train expansion were joined March 17 by White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin, North Delta MLA Guy Gentner (NDP), Surrey Coun. Barinder Rasode and Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg (BC Liberal).

The trains they are a-changin’ Editor: Re: Concern over coal-train control, March 26 letters. In reply to letter-writer Doug Scott’s criticism of White Rock residents complaining about BSNF, when I moved to White Rock 12 years ago, I was well aware that there was a railroad hauling freight on their tracks. For the first 10 years the trains did not bother me one bit. The past two years have seen a doubling or more of the amount of trains going through White Rock. Now, BSNF wants to add even more and longer trains, which will add to the dust and noise pollution. In past years, the trains did not sound their whistles between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. Now, they come barrelling through White Rock blasting their whistles at all hours of the night. Last weekend, a train passed by at 5:50 a.m. and kept his whistle pressed on for a timed 15 minutes. I notice that Mr. Scott does not live in White Rock. Why am I not surprised? David Gold, White Rock n Re: Burning coal questions, March 21 column. Having read columnist Frank Bucholtz’s article, I have a comment of my own. Why don’t the Americans ship their own coal to China? I’ll bet they don’t want the noise of the lumbering trains and whistles at all hours of the day and night. I certainly do not want to hear any more train noise than I do now. Given the projections, you can bet it will only get worse. Now, we will offload the coal in Surrey,

then load it onto barges and haul it to Texada Island. That’s more dust and diesel particulate than we need in Surrey, Delta or White Rock. Let the BNSF build a terminal in Washington or Oregon. I’ll bet they can’t because of public opinion. Barry Bradley, Surrey

National importance Re: Cross-party opposition over coal trains, March 19. Perhaps, some of the coal-train protestors – including the mayor and MLAs, it seems – should reflect back and consider that B.C. agreed to join the Canadian confederation in the late 19th century on the condition that a railway be built from the eastern provinces to the west coast. When built, that railway brought new settlers to a growing province and facilitated commerce across the country. Railways continue to do so to this day. The free flow (transport) of goods and services across Canada is enshrined in confederation, and between Canada and the U.S., by way of the Free Trade Agreement, which has been a great economic benefit to this country. If every community with a ‘special-interest’ commodity grudge were able to halt the transport of certain goods by rail, road or air, the nation would face an economic calamity of nation-destructive proportions. Read history. We are a nation for a reason. Jan Christoffersen, Surrey

dispatch of police officers. Because mentalhealth calls can take a significant amount of time, it’s a large drain on resources. Recently, there were 12 police officers waiting with people at Surrey Memorial Hospital. Not all of those were mentalhealth calls, but they certainly added to the holdup in the emergency room. Still, freedom of choice remains a main hurdle between Quee’s clients and wellness. People with mental illness are free to choose whether to seek help, and if they want to take the necessary medications once they have been assessed. It means many people fall through the cracks by their own choice, often because of the stigma associated with mental illness. Often, the next time the client appears on the radar is through a police call, usually as a public disturbance of some kind. Then Quee goes back to work, once again helping people to accept professional help. NEXT WEEK ■ Stigma: The social barrier to getting help.

Student Montreal-bound Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

A Peace Arch Elementary student will be one of 100 students participating in an international dictation contest in Montreal next month. Hannah Penner, 12, was selected from dozens of contestants at the La Dictée PGL regional final on March 11 to participate in the international event to be held on May 26. Participants from Canada, the U.S. and Africa have to listen to a speaker say a paragraph in French, then write the paragraph as accurately as possible, Hannah explained. “It’s based on the top score and there are multiple judges who review the dictation,” she said, noting that French-immersion participants like herself have one paragraph, while Francophone participants have two. The dictation competitions,

founded by the Paul Gérin-Lajoie Foundation, also include the Raise Funds to Share program benefitting educational projects for the participating schools and the foundation’s projects supporting literacy in countries such as Haiti, Mali, Benin and Senegal. “The goal is to raise as much

money as we can to build schools in Africa,” Hannah said. “We begin pledging and gathering donations starting in Grade 3, then participate in the competition in Grade 5.” With more than 100 students from around the world coming to the competition, Hannah said she has been practising as much as she can for this year’s theme – “today and tomorrow profession.” “We don’t usually talk about careers in Grade 6, it’s usually just police officer and doctor,” she said. “There are so many more careers I don’t know how to say in French that I’ve had to learn. There are even careers that they have in Africa that they are incorporating.” While she admits the competition is steep and the topic is difficult, she noted that dictation is good practice for her future career. “I would love to be a Frenchimmersion teacher. I really would.”

Free admission for children at 2013 fair

Cloverdale Rodeo aims for brighter future Jennifer Lang Black Press

With six weeks to go until the 67th annual Cloverdale Rodeo and 125th Country Fair on the May long weekend, organizers have announced a big discount for families with children. Children 12 and under will receive free admission to rodeo performances – and to the country fair – provided they’re accompanied by an adult. Adults too can get in on the savings. Gate admission will be $12, down from $20 in 2012, and rodeo performances will be $20, a drop of $5. “Our rationale is we’d rather have mom and dad and two kids at 64 bucks come into the country fair, go to the rodeo, stay longer, and spend more money on the rides,” said Shannon Claypool, president of the Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition Association. The move expands a discount for children’s gate admissions floated last year at Surrey’s biggest tourist attraction, which appeared poised to burst all previous attendance records until bad weather put a damper on the final two days. “We got off to a great start… and we would have had a world beater, probably one of the best weekends ever,” Claypool told members at last month’s annual general meeting. “But the weather gods didn’t co-operate and it rained for three days. It wasn’t a great year.” A drop in attendance can have a big impact on finances, especially by year end, treasurer Gerry Spielmacher said, delivering his report March 13. “If we could get a good year behind us, we could get our finances back in really good, strong order.”

Lollipop the Clown entertains the crowds at last year’s Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair. Last year’s washout pushed the board of directors to make a number of changes, including ending the contract of general manager Dave Melenchuk. Mike MacSorley, a former vice-president of the PNE, was hired in October, and he’s hired several new staff members, including a new events manager, office administrator and accountant. It also meant the association was forced to dip into next year’s operating grant from the City of Surrey for the second year in a row.

That generous city support is solid, according to Coun. Marvin Hunt, one of the city’s reps on the association’s board. “You are what has put Surrey on the map years ago and will continue to keep Surrey on the map for many years to come,” Hunt said, thanking the association’s many volunteers, who logged 8,000 hours in 2012. “We really value your time, your commitment, and your love for the rodeo.” Hunt noted the city is working with the

Canada Public Private Partnerships program because it’s still hoping to build a convention facility on the site that would be large enough to accommodate the rodeo, bringing it indoors. “And then we can just have a real good party instead of worrying about the weather every May long weekend,” he said. The city’s operating grant to the association is $775,000, but only a portion of that goes to toward prize money for winners of the four main rodeo events: saddle bronc, bull riding, bareback and ladies barrel racing. The majority – $550,000 – pays for the day-to-day operations of the fairgrounds. Hunt stressed the combined grant is “a great deal for the city,” as the association is also responsible for year-round management of the eight facilities on the fairgrounds. Despite last year’s downpour, the association’s financial picture wasn’t all gloom, and the board is looking forward with optimism to this year’s rodeo and country fair. “The majority of our contracts are signed and things are working well for us,” second vice-president and rodeo chair Penny Smythe said. “Now we just have to all pray here for nice weather.” Along with the world’s top-ranked cowboys and cowgirls, the 2013 Cloverdale Rodeo May 17-20 will feature additional competitions, including the Mutton Bustin, the Rib Fest and BBQ Competition, and will see return of the World Freestyle Round-Up Skateboarding Competition. B.C.’s largest midway will also return, along with the Kidz Zone, Classic Car Show, and performances by the Ken McCoy Band, Dr. Strangelove, and A.J. Woodworth.

Semiahmoo House raises $1,500 for charity

Sending help overseas Members of Semiahmoo House Society gathered more than 40,000 recycling containers this year, with refunded deposits benefitting a notfor-profit children’s charity. Members of the society’s recycling team searched the community for cans, bottles and other containers, which brought in $1,500 for ChildCare International (CCI) – a local Christian charitable organization aiming to help children struck by poverty. In addition to sponsoring children in seven different countries around the world, CCI provides emergency relief to communities around the world. On March 14, program participants

– including Tracie Sheppard, Doug Smith, Adam Roche, Gary Middler and Hae Lee, along with program organizers Joan Baldwin and Scott Gueulette – presented CCI executive director Rod Forrest with a cheque for the amount. In return, each member of the team received a photo of Gemima and Nadege, the two Haitian girls sponsored through the funds. The annual fundraiser is already gearing up for next year’s collection, with Baldwin noting that community members can donate their bottles year-round with free pick up.

Crescent Beach photo club hosting annual photo exhibit

Black and white Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

hile the evolution of photography from a chemical to digital process is all but complete, the appeal of black-and-white images remains strong. New generations of photographers – inspired by such masters of the past as Ansel Adams, Kertesz, Brassai and Man Ray – are discovering black and white isn’t about the absence of colour, but the presence of richness of texture and the infinite possibilities of the play of shadow and highlights. “Arguably, it’s something that distinguishes photography from other media – it’s completely about shape and form,” says Crescent Beach Photo Club member and author Derek Hayes (British Columbia: A New Historical Atlas), a devotee of photography since he first clutched a Box Brownie as a child of three. The club is sponsoring its 12th annual black-andwhite photo exhibition Saturday, April 13, 7 p.m. at St. Mark’s Anglican Church, 12953 20 Ave. in South Surrey. Given the resurgence of interest in the medium, it’s surprising to learn the local lensers have staked out a prestigious exclusive for themselves by establishing the annual event. “Our show is unique in the Lower Mainland, and, indeed, in Western Canada,” Hayes notes. Members from 14 photography clubs from all reaches of the Lower Mainland have been invited to submit images that will be evaluated by three equally prestigious judges: Mark Koegel of the Vancouver Photo Workshop, Judy Higham of Coquitlam’s Darkroom Group (adherents of chemical-based printing) and Alan Bargen, a principal photographer for the Canadian Association of Photographic Art. The participating photographers are vying for individual medals – plus the Crescent Beach Photo Club grand trophy – but for fans of fine photography, the show promises a special treat, 16x20-inch prints of the cream of current work. While there are still those who decry the

The Crescent Beach Photo Club is set to host its annual black-and-white photography exhibit April 13 at St. Mark’s Anglican Church. Last year’s show included Derek Hayes’ Alex Fraser Bridge (above), Bob Lipschultz’s Lonely At The Top (right) and Claus Eisenschmid’s The River (inset).

proliferation of digital technology in the photographic realm, it is that technology, ironically, that has helped black and white come to new prominence. “It’s gone through a revival since digital cameras came along,” Hayes says. “With digital, it’s relatively easy to convert colour images to black-and-white. With film, it was considerably more difficult. “We still have a few people who don’t think that digital is the way to go.” But, he said, there is an ease of handling digital images that has overcome initial resistance, he recognizes, coupled with exponential progress in images quality. “A lot of photographers started in digital work by scanning film,” he notes. “Because you couldn’t get high enough resolution back in 2003 and 2004, when you’d pay $5,000 for a threemegapixel camera.” With about 75 active members, the Crescent Beach Photo Club is one of the healthier photography clubs on the scene – providing a kind of camaraderie and feedback that is hard to achieve online. “While there are a lot of photo-sharing sites on the web, it’s still good for photographers to get together and share images,” Hayes said. He has catholic tastes when it comes to subject matter, he says. “I’ll photograph just about anything that moves – and anything that doesn’t. I’m a jack of all trades, but I like, artistically, to look for patterns, to find art in nature. “The idea of an artistic image is it’s something that is not immediately apparent to someone just looking at the landscape,” he said. “It’s the photographic eye we try to encourage – and it can be developed.” The show is not a sale of work, per se, although Hayes is confident a member of the public could come to an arrangement with the photographer of a particularly appealing image. “Lots of our photographers do sell prints, as we did at the show at the White Rock Community Centre in January. Every little bit helps.” Admission is $5 at the door – which helps the club defray some of its expenses, Hayes says, “but there’s lots of food there. It’s definitely worthwhile.”

‘Time to honour artists’ Alex Browne Arts Reporter

October may seem like a long way off, but it’s not too far ahead to start thinking about White Rock’s inaugural International Artist Day (IAD) Festival – according to artist and organizer Chris MacClure. IAD founder MacClure, who took the first step of establishing a day celebrating artists more than half a decade ago, has seen the concept take root and grow in different countries around the globe. “It’s gathered momentum to the point where it has taken on a life of its own,” MacClure said, adding that he is now only Spring Special $ 25 OFF

peripherally involved in much of the creativity the idea has engendered. IAD events are now a regular part of the artistic landscape in such countries as India and Saudi Arabia, he said – even Lithuania, where, he understands, the department of education is contemplating including them in the school curriculum. “Lots of things are happening,” he said. “But White Rock is where I thought of it, years ago. “My original idea was that we always refer to the arts, rather than ‘the artist’ – I thought maybe it was time to honour the

artists, just for their perseverance, if nothing else.” High time, too, MacClure said, that the concept was formalized in the town where it was born. That’s been accomplished in council’s official declaration of the festival for the week of Oct. 21 to 27, following a small-scale preview last year. Partnering with him are Tourism White Rock, White Rock BIA, Semiahmoo Arts and the city. “Everybody’s excited about it,” MacClure said. “It’s just a matter of getting all the cats in the box. This is your day, artists – get involved.” › see page 20

Surrey squad heading to Fred Page Cup championship with 10-1 record

Sweep sends Eagles to BCHL finals The Surrey Eagles are headed to the BCHL finals for the first time in nine seasons. The Eagles punched their ticket to the Fred Page Cup championship Tuesday night on Vancouver Island, after a 5-2 win over the Alberni Valley Bulldogs. The win gave the Birds a 4-0 series sweep; they also won Game 3 in Port Alberni Monday – 3-2 in overtime. The Eagles are now 10-1 in the post-season, having

previously swept the Chilliwack Chiefs in a five-game series, and beat Langley 3-1. As has been the case for Surrey since playoffs began, goaltender Michael Santaguida led the way Tuesday, stopping 36 shots. He was even better in Game 3, stopping 49 of 51 Bulldog shots on goal. In 11 playoff games, he has three shutouts and a league-best .956 save-percentage. Despite playing in the

unfriendly confines of Alberni’s Weyerhaeuser Arena, Surrey – coming off Monday’s dramatic OT win – could smell blood in the water in Game 4, and jumped out to a 4-0 lead after 40 minutes on goals from Brady Shaw, Craig Wyszomirski and Michael Stenerson, who had a pair in the second period. In the third, Bulldogs Ryan Buse and Manny Gialedakis scored twice in less than three minutes to

pull the home team to within two goals, but Stenerson completed the hat-trick and sealed the win with an empty-net goal in the game’s final minute. In Game 3, Nic Pierog was the star for the second consecutive game, potting the overtime winner when Bulldogs’ netminder Jay Deo misplayed a puck outside his crease. The puck ended up on the stick of Eagles’ forward Drew Best, who slid it to Pierog for the goal.

Pierog also scored the OT winner in Game 2 at South Surrey Arena. Adam Tambellini and Shaw also scored in the game for the visitors. The Eagles now await the winner of the Interior Conference final between the Penticton Vees and West Kelowna Warriors. Penticton leads that series 3-1, with Game 5 scheduled for tonight (Thursday). The Fred Page Cup finals begin April 12 in South Surrey. – Nick Greenizan

Hammond signs with Senators Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

ndrew Hammond is one step closer to realizing a dream of playing in the National Hockey League. And though it’s a dream shared by nearly every youngster who grows up playing hockey in Canada, the 25-year-old Ocean Park native admits now – just days after signing with the Ottawa Senators – that it wasn’t a dream he spent much time considering during his days tending goal in the BC Hockey League. “It wasn’t something I thought about about in the BCHL, because at the time I was more focused Andrew on securing a scholarship,” Hammond Hammond said from Binghamton, N.Y., where he was settling in with the Senators’ American Hockey League team. “When I was a kid, it was always something you dream of, but then you progress through the different levels of hockey (and) start realizing it’s a very real possibility.” Last month, Hammond wrapped up his senior year at Bowling Green State University in Ohio and signed a two-year

Hockey League – after beginning his juniorhockey career with the Westside Warriors, he played 32 games with the Surrey Eagles in 2007/08 before being shipped to Vernon, where he helped lead the Vipers to a RBC Cup national championship – the first for the team in 18 years – before heading to the NCAA with Bowling Green. “Winning the Royal Bank Cup is still

my best memory,” said Hammond, a Semiahmoo Minor Hockey alum. “Signing with Ottawa is very exciting, but I still haven’t accomplished anything. My goal is to play in the NHL and all this does is give me an opportunity to get closer to that goal.” Hammond came to the attention to the Senators after a strong four-year NCAA › see page 26

PBL swings into action The boys of summer are back on the diamond, as the BC Premier Baseball League gets set for another season. The regular-season begins this weekend, and the White Rock Tritons will play Games 1 and 2 of their schedule Sunday afternoon, when they host the Vancouver Cannons at South Surrey Athletic Park. White Rock has struggled in recent years – the team hasn’t made the playoffs since 2009 – and will be looking to get off to a better start than last year, when they opened with a 5-12 record over the first month-and-a-half. White Rock’s first

game Sunday begins at noon, with the second game of the doubleheader scheduled for 2:30 p.m. White Rock isn’t the only PBL squad in action this week, as Surrey’s two clubs – the North Delta Blue Jays and Whalley Chiefs – are also set for their season-openers. The Chiefs open at home Saturday, with a doubleheader against the Coquitlam Reds, and on Sunday head to Abbotsford’s Delair Park for two games against the Abby Cardinals. The Blue Jays, meanwhile, don’t play until Tuesday, when they will battle the Tritons in a 7 p.m. contest in South Surrey.

Dream to play for Canadian team › from page 21 career; this past season he led the team into the second round of the playoffs, and in 2011/12, he played in every one of his team’s 44 games. “Ottawa was a team that had come up a few times when talking to my agent – I had known they had come out to watch me this year – but our season ended (March 23) and I didn’t really know what my options would be the next

morning,” Hammond explained. “Then my agent called me and told me Ottawa had an offer on the table.” Playing for a Canadian team was a dream for the Surrey netminder, he said. “It seemed like a great fit, and they were open to letting me finish school and get my degree, which was one of the most important things for me,” said Hammond, who will return to Bowling Green State’s campus in

mid-April to complete his classes. Returning to school to tie up loose ends will also give Hammond the chance to reflect on a college career that really has gone from one extreme – not winning a single game as a freshman; to the other – going pro. “My freshman year was difficult,” he said. “Looking back, that adversity was great for me. It has driven me to keep working harder every year.”

uestion: Because I receive a disability pension from the Province of British Columbia, my father made a will which provided that I could receive certain expenses related to my disability and in addition the sum of $5484 per year. This was done so that my disability pension would not be discontinued. My father died a couple of years ago and part of his estate is held in trust in order to pay those sums to me. I have read in the newspapers that the amount of the exemption has been raised from $5484 to $8000 per year. I’ve asked my trustee to give me the additional amount and he has refused. Is he right?

nswer: Yes. The trustee is bound by the terms of the trust in the will. The trustee does not have the right to give you more than set out in the will.

TURNBULL, Leonard Whillans October 24th, 1916 March 27th, 2013 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, grandfather and great grandfather. Fondly known as “granddad” his family was able to spend quality time with him before he passed peacefully at the age of 96 at Peace Arch Hospital. Granddad was born in Calgary but moved to Vancouver with his family when he was very young. He made his home in Vancouver and the surrounding area with his beloved wife Violet and two children Jim and Dwight. Granddad is predeceased by his loving wife Vi and later his faithful companion Leah. Granddad is survived by his loving family; sons Jim and wife Sandy, Dwight and wife Sandy; his adoring grandchildren Dean and wife Kari, Tracy and husband Ken, Colleen and husband Todd and Debbie and husband Kevin. Granddad is also survived by his great grandchildren Duncan, Joey, Kyle, Emily, Kaylee, Julia and most recently Camryn. Granddad was so thrilled to be able to meet the newest addition to his family, his great grandchild Camryn Violet Ericka who was born on February 10th, 2013 and shares her great grandmothers name Violet. There will be a private ceremony, to be determined at a later date, where Granddad’s family and friends will celebrate his life. Granddad’s ashes will be laid to rest beside his late wife Vi at Valley View Memorial Gardens. As an expression of sympathy and in lieu of flowers, contributions to a charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family. Valley View Funeral Home 604-596-8866
