Peninsula marathoners and their families unharmed in fatal blasts at Boston finish line

‘We heard this massive explosion’ Tracy Holmes & Nick Greenizan Staff Reporters

Two explosions rock the Boston Marathon.

Runners from the Semiahmoo Peninsula were safe on both sides of the Boston Marathon finish line Monday, when two explosions rocked the area, killing at least two and injuring dozens more. South Surrey lawyer Alan Benson, 60, had finished the race and was about six blocks away when the unimaginable happened. “All of a sudden we heard this massive explosion. I could see this huge ball of smoke where the finish line is,” Benson told Peace Arch News from his hotel about an hour later.

“I just can’t believe, I can’t believe I saw what I saw when I looked down Boylston Avenue. It was big, it was loud and it was frightening. Everyone immediately thought, is this some kind of bomb? It looked like something out of the Middle East or something like that.” Benson crossed the finish line in three hours, 49 minutes and 42 seconds. According to initial reports, the explosions occurred at the 4:09:40 mark, just before noon PDT. Jim Millington, 61, was among locals who didn’t cross the finish line – he was minutes away at the time of the explosions. “I am OK. Five minutes from finish line,”

he said in a text message to friends back home in South Surrey. The 2013 Boston Marathon database notes 241 of the nearly 27,000 competitors hail from B.C. Of those, 18 list Surrey as their hometown. Benson said all of the Peninsulaarea people he was aware of – competitors and spectators alike – were unharmed. He described what followed the explosions as “pandemonium everywhere,” as emergency crews made their way to the scene at Copley Square, and attendees tried to connect with friends and relatives. › see page A4

Metro committee vote

Powerless reps say no to coal Jeff Nagel Black Press

A proposal to build a new coalexport terminal on the Fraser River in Surrey is being opposed by Metro Vancouver directors who cite potential risks to the local environment and the health of residents from coal dust. The position was taken in a 6-5 split vote of Metro’s environment and parks committee Thursday and still has to go to a full board vote at the end of the month. Metro has no power to block the planned export terminal proposed by Fraser Surrey Docks and ❝The port is the now being sole judge, jury considered and executioner, for approval and they’re not by Port Metro consulting with Vancouver. anybody.❞ While Metro is also Harold Steves asking the Richmond councillor port for more information on the proposal and its potential impacts, Richmond Coun. Harold Steves argued a decision could be imminent and Metro can’t wait for answers before stating its opposition. › see page A4

16 Avenue interchange project moving forward

Overpass demolished Alex Browne Staff Reporter

A key piece in the project to create a new Highway 99/16 Avenue interchange – demolition of the existing overpass – was completed on the weekend. It all went without a hitch, according to Jay Porter, senior project manager for the Ministry of Transportation’s South Coast Region. “I think it went very smoothly. The community seemed quite happy with it – we haven’t had any complaints,” he said. The demolition process – including jackhammering of the deck and ripping down of girders – began on Friday night at 7 p.m., he said, and was complete by Sunday morning. During that time, Highway 99 traffic was kept to one lane in each direction. Following rubble cleanup, all four lanes of

White Rock

the freeway were reopened by 5 a.m. Monday morning. Closure of 16 Avenue, on either side of the planned interchange, came into effect April 1, and that section of 16 Avenue will not be open to traffic until at least the end of August. Truck traffic is being diverted to 8 Avenue, resulting in higher traffic volumes on both 8 and 24 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 six-lane overpass, plus widening of 16 Avenue to four lanes between King George Boulevard and Highway 99. Four on- and off-ramps and noise barriers will be part of Phase 2, which is expected to be complete by October 2014.

Disappearance in Revelstoke last fall

Parents continue to look for missing man Aaron Orlando Black Press

Parents Ted and Kathy Klammer have offered a new clue following the mysterious disappearance of their son, David Klammer, 39, whose last known whereabouts was in Revelstoke on Oct. 18, 2012. The White Rock resident’s backpack was found near the riverside recreation spot Twelve Mile on Oct. 26. His abandoned vehicle was reported to police on Nov. 5, also at Twelve Mile. The Klammers recently learned that an archery set David purchased shortly before his disappearance is missing. “We suspect that he had the archery set with him,” Ted Klammer said.

It’s described as a two-tone, wooden Eastman brand set. He had six arrows, some of which are also missing. David Klammer was not a hunter. His backpack containing water and other supplies was found nearby his car. Extensive searches in the area turned up no new clues. The RCMP say the case is a mystery; Klammer didn’t have characteristics commonly associated with missing persons. He didn’t have known crime links, nor a history of depression. Police recovered his passport, indicating he likely didn’t leave the country. He was a busy and successful window salesman. A previous relationship ended several years ago. A few weeks ago, RCMP used a heli-

copter to search the Columbia River. They had a dive team on standby, but they found nothing. Klammer’s parents visited Revelstoke last week from Saskatchewan. “We just don’t know where he is,” Ted Klammer said. “It’s so strange. (The RCMP) are in the dark too. They haven’t got any clues to follow up on.” He said his son was thinking of moving from White Rock and had been scouting out potential communities in the Interior. That may be why he was in Revelstoke. The parents are devastated by the disappearance and are asking the public to be on the lookout. They have asked anyone who owns

recreational property in the Revelstoke area to check out their cabins. Likewise for abandoned buildings. They want dirt bikers, hikers and others travelling in the area to be on the lookout for clues. Ted Klammer said his son was taking medication for a urinary-tract infection. They suspect he could have been in medical distress if he came off the medications suddenly when he got lost. “We’re grasping at straws, but we just don’t know,” Kathy Klammer said. The missing man is described as 6’2”, 196 pounds, and has brown hair with blue eyes. RCMP believe he was wearing a brown leather jacket.

Overcrowding made an election issue by parents

High school PAC spreads the word Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

Parents hit the pavement outside Earl Marriott Secondary Monday morning to protest overcrowding in the Surrey School District. Organized by the school’s parent advisory committee, drivers dropping off students were given information regarding the stalled efforts to build a new school in the South Surrey/ Grandview area to alleviate the growing issue of overcrowding, which led to an extended schedule being adopted at the South Surrey secondary school two years ago. “We’ve been waiting on this site for a couple of years,” said PAC vice-president Bob Holmes, who has a daughter in Grade 8. “We really wanted to get something out as the election is coming up. We really want to push this issue.” Overcrowding in South Surrey schools has been an ongoing issue, with parents reaching out to the city, school district and province, including a 2011 postcard campaign addressed to Premier Christy Clark. Late last year, concerned teachers wrote to the PAC, saying the flex schedule had failed to fix overcrowding and that students were at risk. “With over 500 extra students, many staff at Earl Marriott Secondary believe the safety of students may be compromised in the event of a real emergency,” wrote teacher Mark Figueira.

While this week’s day of action targeted parents, PAC member Diana Bonner noted individual teachers have shown support. “I’m sure the teachers are more tired of it than the parents, because I know some of the teachers who have to be in three different locations throughout the day because there are so many kids in the school,” said Bonner, who has two children attending EMS. “It’s a challenge, it’s not ideal for anyone. Not for the teachers or the students either. The school is bursting at its seams.” Mother-of-three Stacey MacDonald noted that while the recent infrastructure upgrades in the area are welcome, the funds would have been better used to construct a new school. “I have a Grade 11 daughter, a Grade 8 son and Grade 5 son, so technically it’s three drop-offs everyday and three pickups,” she said, contrasting the need for a new school and the need for freeway on-ramps being built east of the school. “My son, when we were going down the highway the other day, said, ‘$24 million for this bridge?’… I drive those roads a lot and they’re not that busy. Yet this is an absolute necessity.” In January, the district announced it would put up $5 million to hire architects to design two new $35-million secondary schools – in Grandview and in Cloverdale – as well as expand two elementary schools. The funds

were taken from the district’s capital reserve fund, with a guarantee that the province would repay the district. “It seems like we’re getting close, we’ve bought the land and put money aside for the planning, but the money isn’t there for the building,” Holmes said. “Not knowing where it will end is very frustrating.” And the longer the wait, the worse it will get, noted Holmes. “Our concern is that if it’s not dealt with before this election, will the government in power put the money forward right away? Might be they put a hold on spending for sometime, then the school gets put on hold for a year or two… The problem isn’t going to get any better.” However, Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg told Peace Arch News Monday that while he appreciates the concerns of parents, the project is on track to completion. “The funding for the first stage has been guaranteed, so the architects and engineers are doing their work now,” he said. “We won’t be behind at all with respect to funding being in place for that. As for the final phase, my expectation is before the planning process is complete that funding will be in place and we’ll move right ahead. “If it is fast-tracked and goes smoothly, it could happen in three years.”

With just one month until the May 14 provincial election, the community is invited to grill local hopefuls at upcoming allcandidates meetings. n Peninsula Homeless To Housing Task Force will be hosting a meeting May 2, 7-9 p.m. at White Rock Life Church gymnasium, 2265 152 St. The evening will include candidates for three provincial constituencies – Surrey-White Rock, Surrey-Cloverdale and Surrey-Panorama – giving their opinions on key issues such as affordable housing, food security and poverty reduction.

Surrey Board of Trade hosts series to discuss strategies

Businesses take on crime Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

South Surrey business leaders met with city and law officials Thursday morning to discuss crime-reduction strategies and goals. Hosted by the Surrey Board of Trade at Ocean Park Village Pub, the annual Crime Breakfast Series featured topics ranging from closed-circuit television to property theft. RCMP Chief Supt. Bill Fordy, Staff Sgt. Dan Gibbons and Surrey Coun. Barinder Rasode were on hand for the series to answer questions and address concerns for the crowd. When asked about bringing CCTV to the city by Cliff Anna-

GEOFF& CAROLYN GLAZIER

ble, South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce’s executive director, Rasode noted that while there may be a desire to bring the cameras in, the decision is ultimately out of the city’s hands. “I’ll be very candid, there are sometimes a) conflicting research, b) some technology challenges and c) definitely a challenge with the privacy commissioner for the province,” Rasode said. “We are very aggressive where we can be. But there is a point where our hands are tied because of other levels of government.” On the topic of technology and crime reduction, Fordy announced that Surrey RCMP will be going live with online crime reporting in the coming

days, which he hoped would encourage people to come forward with crimes, such as property theft. “One of the things we need to do in law enforcement is stay current with technology,” Fordy said. “We expect in the next week we will go live on electronic reporting in the City of Surrey. That will help us track crimes that people don’t think are worthwhile to report, for example, theft from auto.” Both Fordy and Gibbons stressed the importance of reporting crimes, no matter how big or small, to police. “We can’t know if we don’t know,” Fordy said.

editorial

B.C.’s future is in our hands

ith less than one month to go to the provincial election, all the players of the drama are in place. Some – like the BC Conservatives – have been rehearsing their lines loudly and longly. Others – like the Green Party and even the NDP – are just starting to make their presence felt on the stage. And then there are the BC Liberals, who seem to have been in a situation of almost permanent campaigning since Gordon Campbell stepped down as leader some two and a half years ago. What is now needed to complete the show is the presence – and the voice – of the people. And what we should remember at this point – all smoke and mirrors, scriptwriters and noisy claques to one side – is that this is far more than theatre. We, the electorate, are not simply an audience. We are employers, and the politicians – no matter their party affiliations or ideological alignment – are the applicants hopeful of being hired as our representatives. Their pay will come out of our pockets, and their decisions will have a very real impact on the course of our lives for the next four years. Like any employer, we have the right to ask questions of potential employees, and make note of straightforward answers, as well as evasions and attempts to obscure the truth. And, as with any employment decision, a number of factors must be weighed. Does the candidate seem experienced enough for the job? Do his or her goals seem realistic enough? Has the candidate demonstrated capability or incompetence during past terms of employment? Has this person proven trustworthy? Can we afford to hire an individual on the basis of who that person knows, or what views he or she espouses around the water cooler, or should we choose our employees more on the basis of how he or she has performed in the past? Our participation in the election, particularly when ballots are cast, is vital to the process. This is more than a matter of the usual lecture about civic responsibility, low voter turnout and the importance of stepping up and being counted. As employers, if we feel our previous hires have not been equal to the job, we must – if only out of self-interest – choose replacements that seem best to suit our needs. But if, by the same token, we feel our wishes and aspirations have been properly represented over the past four years, we must, in all fairness, give a vote of confidence to our current employees. The choice is ours.

about the BC Liberal plan to extend B.C.’s electricity grid and use that to develop further independent power. This sounds to me like political positioning rather than economic analysis. An anti-Site C independent candidate has significant support in Peace River North, creating a threeway struggle for a key BC Conservative target. The BC Conservative platform also totals up the billions in long-term electricity contracts with private power producers and suggests the price for this clean energy has been set too high. This is another echo of the NDP’s vague position. So if the BC Conservatives are gung-ho on oil and gas and think the carbon tax is a mistake, do they think there should be any effort to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions? Cummins sidestepped that question, preferring to talk about conventional air pollution, whether it’s in the Fraser Valley or as a byproduct of a northern industrial boom. As a long-time former Reform and Conservative MP, Cummins is acutely aware that the urban media will leap with extra vigour on any perceived gaffe of the right wing. Should a Conservative let slip that he’s skeptical about global warming, or worse, express a rustic view on social issues, all Hell would break loose. The BC Conservatives have started with the most detailed, costed platform of any party. Don’t count them out.

High marks for open university Editor: Re: Surrey pools resources for new school, April 4. Thanks to Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts for her excellent state-of-thecity address April 3. But the mayor wasn’t quite right when she said that people with less than a 75 per cent average in high school won’t be admitted into our local universities. True, they won’t be admitted to SFU or UBC, but our local Kwantlen Polytechnic University is open to all, even those who need to upgrade their basic skills. I’ve been teaching upgrading courses at Kwantlen for many years; it’s still tremendously satisfying to see people pick up the skills they need, go on to succeed in one of Kwantlen’s many one-, two-, or four-year programs, and then find satisfying careers in our community. Geoff Dean, Surrey

Veterans and government Editor: Re: MP under fire over veterans, April 9. Canadian veterans have available to them one of the most comprehensive suite of benefits and services of any of our allies. Combined, Canadian veterans who are the most severely disabled from their service will receive a minimum income of $56,000 per year, in addition to home adaptation, rehabilitation, medical and personnel support, home cleaning and yard-maintenance services paid by our government. Given this level of support, my NDP critic is absolutely right; Canadian veterans’ benefits are right at the top, a fact which I believe we can all be proud of. Steven Blaney, Minister of Veterans Affairs n Re: Misinformation a disservice, April 13 letters. It is my view that all print-outs quoted to be from MP Russ Hiebert (South Surrey-White RockCloverdale) are messages coming directly from Ottawa, as there never was one – even so small – indication that they are Hiebert’s words. Suan H. Booiman, White Rock

Neighbours impacted An open letter to White Rock council. I was born in White Rock, as was my mother. My roots go back to when my grandfather, Alan Anthony, not only helped build the first pier in White Rock but started the White Rock Amateur Swimming Association with Edith Vidal in 1919. He also gave the property that

houses White Rock Elementary to the school district in 1944. I now live in my very own condo – bought on a quiet, parklike single-lane street – only to be slammed with another disregard to our official community plan for another development proposal for a 12-storey condo complex, in an area that should always remain a threestorey townhouse site. Nobody seems to care about how this upheaval will impact and unsettle those taxpaying condo-owning people in the neighbourhood – this humongous construction, uprooting or slashing down old-growth trees impacting immediate neighbours. Appalling! We do not need any more bedunits in White Rock, as is blatantly the case in the two Miramar Village buildings where so many condos have turned over to renting-out. And what about the impact of what this development would do to the infrastructure of our firefighters, police, traffic, water, schools and, of course, our health facilities? This is outrageous to suggest we could possibly let this go without a vote or a petition. I remain a proud citizen of White Rock and the way our seaside village should be respected. Patricia Browne, White Rock

Sustaining the unsustainable Editor: Re: Losing faith in White Rock, March 28 letters. I read the letter from your reader referring to the White Rockamalgamating-with-Surrey issue. I concur with her views entirely. In order to manage its fiscal future, White Rock will have to expand. The geography of its boundaries will not allow this, and the city can only grow in one direction, and that is vertically. There are already too many skyscrapers in our beautiful city, and there will be many, many more in the coming years. Without this, the managers of our little fiefdom must try to ‘sustain the unsustainable’ and tax its residents even more than the unfair burden we presently bear. For a municipality with such a small population, to finance all of the costly services of our much larger communities makes no sense. Yes, residents enjoy the uniqueness of living in White Rock, but we can still keep our name. Nothing is lost and there is so much to gain with our joining the City of Surrey.

Tsawwassen and Ladner have retained their identity, even though they are part of Delta. Gus Nielsen, White Rock

A community of compassion Editor: Re: A father’s hope, April 4. Your newspaper highlighted the ongoing challenges faced by my daughter in dealing with a serious medical condition and the financial implications to obtain every possible medical assistance. I want to thank the paper, Sawbucks Pub, family, friends and an amazing list of well-wishers who expressed both vocal and financial support in our goal to ‘Give Hope To Beth.’ In particular, the amazing efforts offered by Eileen Spencer and her family have been superb. As well, an extended family of friends rallied to the cause and the evening at Sawbucks was a great success. If anyone living in the South Surrey/White Rock area does not already know it, I can assure them we live amongst compassionate and loving people on this Peninsula. David Hutchinson, Surrey

Susan Potzold speaks against a zoning designation that residents say would allow higher buildings in West Beach.

Hillside residents express views Editor: Re: West Beach residents seek bylaw change, March 28. We moved to our townhome on Victoria Avenue four years ago to enjoy an ocean view, and we are upset and appalled by the proposed CR-3 zoning, which would allow developers to exceed the current height restriction. This would allow new buildings in the West Beach business area to be much taller and with greater density. This proposed change will have ramifications for years to come, as the increase in traffic on Victoria Avenue and Marine Drive – which is already snarled on weekends – will become even worse. Why would the city allow more density in an area that is already jam-packed? Floyd & Lynne Stanley, White Rock n As a new owner of a townhouse with an ocean view, I thought we were investing our money well in White Rock. However, I’m shocked at the actions of council members and worry there will be no return on our investment. The city is in the midst of adopting new zoning bylaws, which they claim to be minor changes and mostly housekeeping. While this is true to some degree, it certainly is not for the new CR-3 zone that is to cover the West Beach business area. This is a very specific area with a “village-type” feel. The changes being introduced will have ramifications for years to come. Why would the City of White Rock want to increase

the density in this area and build taller buildings to block views? What benefit would this achieve? On St. Patrick’s Day, the Easter long weekend and any given sunny day for that matter, Victoria Avenue traffic is backed all the way up the hill. How can we possibly afford any more congestion in the beachfront area and still make it an attractive area to live and play? I’m not opposed to development, but I strongly feel the three-storey maximum should be upheld. Christine Rock & Bud Sardone, White Rock n City council may approve a rezoning bylaw that would permit a developer to build along the beachfront at a considerably increased height from what is now allowed. It seems no one is concerned about what the residents of White Rock want and, if this is approved by council, it will set a precedent for other developers to again ask for rezoning to build even more high-level concrete boxes along the beach on Marine Drive. Developers should not be deciding this for our residents. Do residents want a beachfront of higher-level glass and concrete boxes? People come here to get away from just that and explore many small unique shops. Residents who live behind these buildings will suffer devastating financial losses in their property values, only to line the pockets of off-shore developers. Beverley Cunningham, White Rock

Surrey driver sentenced for hitting and killing 83-year-old man

One year for senior’s death 100% B C Owned and Operated

Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Pot smoke raises alarm For the second time in less than a week, fire crews found a pot smoldering unattended in a White Rock apartment. Report of smoke came in around 5:30 p.m. April 6, from a resident of a building in the 15100-block of Prospect Avenue. When crews arrived, there was a strong smell of burnt cooking and no one was home, said fire Chief Phil Lemire. The unit’s smoke detector had not activated, despite the smoke, he noted. Lemire said the incident – the second of its kind in six days – is a reminder to ensure nothing is left on the stove when going out. “Cooking remains a number one concern and number one cause of fires right now,” he said. April 1, firefighters were called to the 1300block of Winter Street, after potpourri was left simmering on the stove.

GRAND OPENING!

Surrey’s Gurjit Dhillon was handed a one-year jail sentence last week for hitting and killing an 83-year-old man sitting at a Newton bus stop. Surrey grandfather Pritam Benning was critically injured in the rush-hour crash in September 2009. He was waiting near 128 Street and 72 Avenue when a black Corvette driven by Gurjit Dhillon jumped the curb and struck him. Benning’s legs were amputated and he was unconscious in hospital for five days before succumbing. Outside court last Wednesday, Benning’s family said Dhillon’s 12-month sentence was insufficient for taking their family patriarch’s life. Manjit Benning said his father came to Canada thinking it was a better country. “I’m wondering if he’d be thinking that right now?” the son said. “It’s just senseless.” Dhillon, 28, was found guilty of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death last November. A charge of street racing was dropped. The defence argued the brake system on Dhillon’s car was faulty, but the judge didn’t buy that theory, saying the car lost control before the brakes were applied. Judge James Jardine reiterated his findings Wednesday, saying Dhillon’s risky actions were solely to blame for the fatal crash, not the workings of the vehicle. “You need to come to grips with those stark facts,” Jardine told Dhillon, adding “wishful think-

Dhillon was following a yellow Corvette on Sept. 16, 2009 when the two cars came to a stop at the intersection. When the light turned green, Dhillon accelerated abruptly, tried to change lanes and hit another car before spinning out of control and launching toward Benning. Dhillon called 911, telling the operator “I hit a person. Something happened to my car. It just went out of control.” The Crown had asked for a 2½-year prison sentence, while the defence argued a suspended

sentence was sufficient, as Dhillon has no previous criminal record. The court heard Dhillon has been severely depressed since the crash and suffers post-traumatic stress disorder. Dhillon, whose wife is expecting their first child in July, has a tattoo with Benning’s name and the date of the crash on his forearm, with the words “The day everything changed.” His wife cried upon hearing the sentence, as did his mother, who nearly collapsed exiting the courtroom. Dhillon is also banned from driving for five years.

Proposal would bring car racing back to Campbell Valley

Metro to study speedway Jeff Nagel Black Press

The dream of car racing fans to reopen the long-closed Langley Speedway in Campbell Valley Regional Park will at least get to the starting line. Metro Vancouver’s environment and parks committee voted Thursday to refer the controversial South Langley proposal to staff to report back on feasibility and what process might be used if Metro’s board decides to advance it to public consultation. The idea is expected to face opposition from horse riders who frequent the park, as well as other users and residential neighbours. Four Metro directors voted against the motion, citing concerns racing wouldn’t be compatible with quiet nature strolls and equestrian riding. Surrey Coun. Barbara Steele said noise from the track would be a big issue, adding she’s also concerned the Langley Speedway Historical Society hasn’t adequately discussed its proposal with neighbours or other park users.

Charges in knife attack

A man accused of slicing another man repeatedly and threatening to kill him was to appear in Surrey Provincial Court Monday (April 15) on charges of assault with a weapon, uttering threats and assault causing bodily harm. White Rock RCMP Const. Janelle Shoihet said the charges were laid in connection with a Feb. 22 incident in the 15400-block of Marine Drive, when an altercation between two men who had been drinking occurred. It’s alleged one man lashed out when he was asked to leave. “When the other gentleman was trying to escort him outside, (the accused) pulled a knife on him and threatened to kill the guy,” Shoihet said. The victim, 40, needed stitches for deep cuts to his hands, several cuts to his fingers and a gash to the right side of his jaw, Shoihet said. Shoihet said the accused is known to police and has a criminal history that includes theft, breakand-enter and assault. Charges against Patrick Anthony Blake, 47, were sworn on Feb. 24.

Langley Speedway Historical Society

The Langley Speedway has been closed since 1984.

But the majority agreed Metro should not dismiss out of hand the idea of resurrecting the speedway, which has been closed since 1984. “In this economy, we have to look at what the people want to do,” said Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman, adding track proponents have taken a respectful approach and not tried to “stack the deck” with support. Responding to concerns it’s a heavily polluting sport, Banman said auto-racing technology is

changing and heading toward a future of electric race cars. He also noted equestrian sports aren’t emission free, because horse riders typically burn fuel trucking their animals to and from Campbell Valley park. Langley City Coun. Gayle Martin noted Metro wants to explore business partnerships to raise more money to regional parks. “In Stanley Park you have the aquarium, which houses whales in captivity. What’s that doing to the environment?” Martin asked. “You have the miniature train, you have Malkin Bowl and they’re all generating revenue.” She said most trails in Campbell Valley go nowhere near the racetrack area, which occupies less than two per cent of the park’s 1,322 acres. Speedway society president Murray Jones said he’s pleased Metro will consider the idea. Metro directors predict there will be strong opinions for and against reopening the track. “You’ve got horsepower on both sides of this issue,” Langley Township Coun. Bob Long said.

No slowing down for South Surrey classic car restorer

Spitfire Dick still revved up at 95 Sarah Massah

Staff Reporter

ick Frankish can still remember his first car. Pointing to the black-andwhite photo hanging on the wall in his living room, he smiled and described the first time he eased himself into the seat of the two-door Model A Ford. And after all these years, when it comes down to horse power, nothing these days compares. “It was pulled by two horses, that coach,” the 95-year-old South Surrey resident said. “I was 20-years-old, living in southern Alberta and had just graduated school when I got that from my older brother, who originally had started out with just one horse. “It had rubber tires, and that’s what I started with, making deliveries.” Most importantly, Frankish pointed out, the outfit gave him an advantage over other men his age. “I had transportation ❝I knew at night. And that that I knew meant I could chase something about the girls, further than restorations. I’m with a saddle horse.” a fussy person Frankish kept the and I do things Model A Ford until he joined the air force in properly.❞ 1940. It wasn’t until Dick Frankish more than 40 years later that his passion for cars was revved up again, when he purchased his 1961 Ford Falcon for $200 from Virden, Man. “It had little gravel chips all over it, but it had never been damaged,” Frankish explained. Immediately after he got the “marvelous little car,” he went to a body shop to find out how he could restore it. After sanding down the body until he could see three layers of paint, he had the car painted so it shined. When he saw the result of his labour, Frankish decided to enter the Falcon into Edmonton car show Motoring Memories. Even with high hopes, Frankish was not prepared for what happened next. “I got the trophy for the best Ford, I got the trophy for the best 1960-’64 – and that’s all makes – and I got the best in show. All with my first restoration,” Frankish laughed. “Well, then I knew that I knew something about restorations. I’m a fussy person and I

and his wife moved to their home in South Surrey, Falcon in tow. Through the years, the living room walls quickly became covered in photographs and plaques from car shows and competitions. While he started out as a Ford man, Frankish has also become an avid collector and restorer of Triumph Spitfires, thanks to his youngest daughter, Leslie, who first purchased the English two-seat sports car in 1976.

“I thought she was nuts. I really did. Because we lived in Edmonton, where you have a winter,” he said. “But she drove it from 1976 to 1984, winter and summer. By 1984, it really needed some tender loving care.” After receiving a job offer in Ontario, Leslie had the car shipped to her father in B.C., where it sat for another seven years in a shelter he had made for it in the backyard.

Restoring Spitfires ‘is my passion’ › from page A11 Frankish had a heart attack and drove into a pole on 16 Avenue, the classic car lover was no longer able to drive his prized restorations. Instead, he poured his time into fixing up the red Spitfire, inside and out. Replacing the engine hood and sprucing up the interior, until it was back to its former glory. Sine then, more than 50 Spitfires have passed through Frankish’s three-car shop, which he built behind his home, five of which he restored and dozens more he has parted out.

‘Fools’ raise Rotary funds The Rotary Club of South Surrey raised more than $7,000 to support an antibully initiative on the Peninsula at a fundraiser last month. Proceeds from the annual Fool’s Night Out will benefit the campaign, co-ordinated with the White Rock RCMP and the Surrey Safe School Program. Dozens attended the event, held at Blue Frog Recording Studios on March 30, which featured a silent auction, jesters and an anti-bullying presentation. According to Joanne Taylor, director of public relations, the rotary club decided to help fund the antibullying initiative E NOW - FULL PAGE (10.3611 x 14) following the expansion of abuse through social media. “It is our intention to run informative Contributed photo sessions with students Sheila Groome tops up jester Edward Chu’s glass at Fool’s Night Out March 30. at the beginning of the school year in hopes a c the t i v e l i v i n g : d o i t f o r yo u r h e a rt that they will start year fresh with out anti-bullying initiative Fraser Heights on their minds,” Taylor boot Camp ClaSS Feb 2 said, noting that details Pa r k s , r e c r e at i o n aTu,n dFraser cHeights u ltRecreation u r eCentre7:15am-8:15am are still being finalized.

Former Peninsula resident Joyce Walker has no trouble settling into her new community

Senior finds sense of home in Williams Lake Monica Lamb-Yorski

Black Press

n any given morning, Joyce Walker is guaranteed to be sipping black coffee in the lounge area at the Seniors’ Village in Williams Lake. Joyce, who will be 89 on May 3, has lived there for a year and a half. When she first arrived not many people were sitting in the lounge. “I started coming here and encouraged people to come and join me. I waved them on over,” she says with a huge grin. Before moving into Seniors Village, Walker lived in McLeese Lake, and prior to that the Semiahmoo Peninsula. Joyce was born in Saskatoon. She moved to White Rock with her parents, Violet and Cyril Ewson, and brother Ronald in 1930. “Mom wanted to see the ocean, was fed up with the dust and cold winters,” Joyce recalled. “Dad was a war vet on a pension. He was a great gardener and loved to grow vegetables and flowers.” By the time she finished high school, the Second World War was on, so Joyce moved into Vancouver to work at Boeing. “I was a ‘gopher’ in the tool shop,” she said. “I talked my mom into coming to work there. She got a job as a riveter’s assistant.” The two rented a one-bedroom

While she was working at Super Valu, one of her friend’s husbands, who was working in Kitimat, mentioned Joyce’s situation to a co-worker, Austin Kenneth (Ken) Walker.

“He called me up from Kitimat to see how I was,” she recalled. “We talked for three-quarters of an hour, and when I got off the phone I said to my parents that if he comes down to see me I’m

going to marry him.” In less than a month, Ken phoned and said he was in town. He wanted to meet Joyce and her family. “We clicked right away. He proposed in December.” They were married in April 1960 at the New Westminster courthouse. “It was heaven from then on. He was very good,” Joyce said. When Ken retired the couple would travel to Yuma, Ariz. to spend five months of the year. Ken passed away 10 years ago after battling Alzheimer’s disease. Joyce continued to go away for five months of the year, although only as far as Penticton, where she rented a room at a motel. She didn’t know anyone there. Her kids thought she was “nuts,” but the weather was perfect – dry and very little snow in the winters. “I’m friendly. I had no problem,” she explained. She’s generous with hugs at the Seniors’ Village and stops to talk to everyone, even small dogs. The walls of her room are covered with cross-stitched pieces, and she’s become such a prolific stitcher that she’s given many away to children and grandchildren. “As a kid I had a two mile walk to school and along the way I’d stop and talk. I love people and I love to help people.”

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Fools

Youth entertainers

Leon Tolchinski has landed a teaching job in an idyllic Russian hamlet. But when he sees people sweeping dust into their houses, and milking cows upside down to get cream, he begins to realize the village is under a curse – of chronic stupidity. That’s the premise of Neil Simon’s comedy Fools, current production of White Rock Players Club, which runs until April 27 at Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. The show is directed by Ryan Mooney, whose sure touch enlivened Lend Me A Tenor and Little Shop of Horrors last year. Featured players are Hunter Golden (Leon), Melissa Paras (Sophia Zubritsky), Sheila Greentree (Lenya Zubritsky), Ryan Johnston (Dr. Zubritsky), and Scott Milne (Count Gregor). For tickets ($18, $16 seniors, students and Coast Capital Savings members) call 604536-7535 or visit www.whiterockplayers.ca

A ‘Salute To Youth’ live stage will be ongoing entertainment at the White Rock Peninsula Rotary Club’s second annual Pooch Parade Sunday, April 21, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the boat launch area of West Beach. Among performers will be Diamond In The Rock contest finalist Ava Carich, 14; twin sister country-folk singers Alanna and Brianne, 15; folk-rock singer-guitarist Tyson MacNamara, 19; and singersongriter Lucas Cole, 18, plus a concluding set by Joey Mullins and his band, Itchy Neighbourhood. Also performing for the event will be Crescent Beach Pipe and Drum Corps, and soprano Miriah Reitmeier. Registration of pooches for the parade (starting at 10 a.m.) is by donation. Proceeds go to support the Peninsula Rotary Club’s community projects.

Fashion show

Figuratively Speaking

A fashion show and tea April 21, 3-5 p.m. at Sanford Hall at Kwomais Point Park (1367 128 St.) will benefit the valuable work of White Rock’s Avalon Recovery Society. As well as a chance to enjoy a leisurely Sunday afternoon tea while watching a parade of the latest styles, the event will feature door prizes and a 50/50 draw. Proceeds will benefit the society’s drop-in centre, which provides a safe and supportive environment, including peer counselling, step programs and child care for peninsula women recovering from various addictions. Tickets ($50) are available from the society at 604-542-7772 or whiterock@ avaloncentres.org

A show of work by the Larger Than Life Drawing Group will take over Semiahmoo Arts’ Mel Edwards Building at Centennial Park in White Rock (14600 North Bluff Rd.), April 18-30. Called Figuratively Speaking, the exhibit will feature drawings and paintings, focusing on the human body, created by current and past members of the longestablished cooperative group. Artists include Joan Adams, Luc Charchuk, Joyce Charke, Jim Cowan, Connie Glover, Mary Harris, Elizabeth Hollick, Judy Jordison, Terry Matthews, Laurie MacIsaac, Karin Olsson, Linda Pearce, Deborah Putman, Mary Revill, Stuart Revill, Jack Turpin, Toni Williams, Colleen Sage and Dave Wilson.

Upcoming groups include Uptown Swing (April 21) and Slipped Disc (April 28). Admission is $8 (members) and $10 (nonmembers). Memberships ($15) are available at the door.

Schumann strings The notable young musicians of Semiahmoo Strings Youth Orchestra will provide the musical setting for a performance of a Robert Schumann master work, the song cycle Dichterliebe, or Poet’s Love, Friday, April 19, 7:30 p.m. at Mount Olive Lutheran Church, 2350 148 St. Providing the vocal component will be the expressive voice of their frequent musical guest, acclaimed baritone Alexander Dobson, in a concert conducted by Semiahmoo Strings founder Carla Birston. Tickets ($18, $10 seniors and students) are available at Tapestry Music, or by calling 604-538-1460.

Michael Santaguida stops 50 shots in Game 2 shutout

Eagles soar to series lead against Vees Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

he Surrey Eagles are just two games away from capturing the fourth Fred Page Cup in franchise history, and they have a red-hot power-play and an even hotter goaltender to thank. Surrey has a 2-0 lead over the Penticton Vees after winning Games 1 and 2 on home ice on the weekend. On Friday, the Eagles rolled to a 5-2 win and on Saturday, goaltender Michael Santaguida stopped a season-high 50 shots to lead the Birds to a 2-0 shutout win. “He probably stole us that game, when you look back and see how many shots he faced,” Surrey Eagles coach Matt Erhart said of the 20-year-old Ontario native, who has four shutouts in the playoffs. “He made one big (save) in the first period, and in the third, there were some rebound opportunities (for Penticton)… he made some game-savers late in the game.” Game 3 of the BC Hockey League final was played in Penticton Monday night after press deadlines. Game 4 is scheduled for tonight (Tuesday), also in Penticton. Through two games, perhaps the only thing as hot as Santaguida was the Eagles’ special-teams play. Though the sample-size is small, the team’s power-play is clicking at a 37.5 per cent clip through the opening two games, and Michael Stenerson added a shorthanded goal in Friday’s opener. Saturday, Demico Hannoun opened the scoring on a 5-on-3 power play when he snapped a wrist shot past Penticton goalie Chad Katunar. In the second period, Nic Pierog scored his seventh goal of the playoffs – he scored just nine in 54 regular-season games – to provide the insurance goal, and Santaguida did the rest. The netminder was especially good late in the second period, when Penticton pressed for a

goal in the final minute of action, and again in the third, when the visitors pressed to break the goose egg and carried the play for long stretches. Santaguida’s best stop came off Vees’ Brad McClure, who jumped on a rebound at the side of the net and appeared to have a sure goal, but Santaguida got the paddle of his stick across the goal line to keep the puck out. Santaguida didn’t have to be

quite as good in Friday’s opening win, only facing 33 shots on net. In fact, neither team mounted much in the way of offense in the first period – the shots were only 4-1 in favour of the Vees halfway through the frame – but the visitors got on the board first when Brook Balson, charing through the slot, tipped a shot over Santaguida’s shoulder. The Eagles answered back

Professionals ON THE SEMIAHMOO PENINSULA

Painless treatment for fungal nail infections terized by a change in a toenail's color, is often considered nothing more than a mere blemish. Left untreated, however, it can present serious problems. Also referred to as onychomycosis, fungal nails are infections underneath the surface of the nail, which may also penetrate the nail. Fungal nail infections are often accompanied by a secondary bacterial and/or yeast infection in or about the nail plate, which ultimately can lead to difficulty and pain when walking or running. Symptoms may include discoloration, brittleness, loosening, thickening, or crumbling of the nail. A group of fungi, called dermophytes, easily attack the nail and thrive on keratin, the nail's protein substance. In some cases, when these tiny organisms take hold, the nail may become thicker, yellowish-brown, or darker in color, and foul smelling. Debris may collect beneath the nail plate, white

marks frequently appear on the nail plate, and the infection is capable of spreading to other toenails, the skin, or even the fingernails. Nail bed injury may make the nail more susceptible to all types of infection, including fungal infection. Those who suffer chronic diseases, such as diabetes, circulatory problems, or immune-deficiency conditions, are especially prone to fungal nails. Other contributory factors may be a history of Athlete's Foot or excessive perspiration. Our treatment protocol is that we treat all 10 toes due to fungus being in the shoes and socks and transferring back and forth as it usually starts in 1 or 2 toes and spreads to the others. The treatment is approx. 35 minutes. The treatment is comfortable not painful. Call for a free brochure - we are happy to email one to you.

South Surrey-White Rock association holds opening-day event

what’s Softball teams get set for season Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

It’s official – softball season is back. The weather is slowly getting warmer, the days a little longer, and the softball diamonds at Sunnyside Park much, much busier, as youth fastpitch teams hit the field for the start of the season, which began earlier this month. The season kicked off officially April 6, with the South SurreyWhite Rock Fastpitch Association’s openingday celebration. The festivities were attended by more than 400 young softball players – representing 39 teams – and more than 80 coaches and other volunteers. Well-known Peninsula singer Mark Donnelly – renowned locally among sports fans for his national-anthem singing at Vancouver Canucks games – kicked things off with O Canada. Also announced was the association’s new partnership with Ruth Hoffman and the

their program so much better,” said Hoffman, who in 2011 initiated a campaign that saw a Langley Little League baseball team travel to Africa to play a Ugandan team after the latter squad’s players were denied visas to compete in the 2011 Little League World Series. It was also announced that the 2013 Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship will be held this year from July 12-22. The popular event – which hosts some of the best girls and women’s fastpitch teams from across the world – is held annually in South Surrey and Cloverdale. Following the official festivities, 17 softball games hit the field throughout the day.

April 16 - 20, 2013 ARIES

LIBRA

Aries, take time to sort through some of the paperwork on your desk. You could find there is something important that you overlooked that needs to be addressed.

Libra, you may be feeling a little homesick, especially if you are away on business or on vacation. Try to make the most of the situation even if you're feeling nostalgic.

TAURUS There are a few things you can't seem to work out in your head, Taurus. A better idea may be to put everything on paper and perhaps the answer will jump out.

GEMINI

SCORPIO Scorpio, if it seems like nothing is going your way, keep in mind there is a master plan in the works. You may not be able to see the resolution, but just be patient.

SAGITTARIUS

Gemini, there will be a few moments this week when you seem to have a breakthrough. Maybe it's in a relationship or you have just the right answers at work.

Sagittarius, there are a few puzzle pieces that you need to get into place and then you'll have everything worked out. Reward yourself with a night out.

CANCER

CAPRICORN

Surprising events are in store as you continue to change your views about life-altering events, Cancer. You may find your master plan is entirely turned on its head.

Capricorn, lay low for awhile rather than drumming up some trouble. Tempting as it is to stir the pot, it may cause more difficulties for you in the long run.

LEO

AQUARIUS

Leo, your energy level is so revved up that others won't be able to keep up with you. You may have to slow down a little to let others catch up.

Aquarius, although you have a few projects on your to-do list, you can't seem to get started. Instead of looking at the entire list, tackle one task at a time and you'll get the job get done.

VIRGO Virgo, others find it difficult to change your opinion once you have your mind set on something. But it still helps to consider if the direction you're heading is the right way.

PISCES Pisces, turn your thoughts to creative efforts and you'll find the days will just fly by. Before you know it, the weekend will be here.

INFORMATION

In Loving Memory Neil R. Simmonds March 9, 1929-April 17, 2012

The Family Chain We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone. For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide. And although we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again. Forever loved and deeply missed, your loving family.

HALPIN, Wendy Leah

OBITUARIES

Born May 6th, 1941 and passed away peacefully April 4th, 2013 at Peace Arch Hospital. Wendy is survived by her brothers Bob (Deanna) and Ralph (Renee) Halpin, “Cousin” Doug Higgins and many friends in the community. Wendy was a long time resident of White Rock, who always had a smile for everyone she met. She was a sweet and good natured lady who loved animals, nature, art and music. A Celebration of Life will be held Friday April 19, 2013 @ the Whale House, 15877 Pacific Ave, White Rock 604-535-3480.

Passed away April 9, 2013 in his 96th year. Pre-deceased by his wife Lena and survived by his son, Robert (Muriel) and his daughter Sandi, his 4 grandchildren Kevin (Cynthia), Scott, Erin(Sam) and Jen and his 2 great-granddaughters, Ella and Simone. Dad served in the RCAF for 28 years (1937-1965) as a flight instructor during the 2nd World War and later on heading up ground crews. After retirement, he and Lena returned to the West Coast, where they had started their married life, to be closer to their family. Always a gentleman - a man of integrity - with a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his face. He will be missed by all of us who knew and loved him. We would like to express our gratitude to the caring staff at Whitecliff, his home for the past few years - for the care and friendship that he received.
