Confrontation discouraged as businesses urged to reject criminal clientele

Top cop’s anti-gang stance clarified Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

In the wake of a call by Surrey’s top cop for business owners to take a stand against those involved with gangs, police are clarifying the message was not intended to encourage confrontation.

“The safer route is to contact the police when you believe there are gang members or organizedcrime-linked individuals in your place of business and you would like them checked or moved along,” Cpl. Bert Paquet said Wednesday. Paquet was responding to Peace

Arch News’ questions regarding the announcement by Chief Supt. Bill Fordy the day after the brazen daylight shooting of 28-year-old Craig Widdifield April 24. Widdifield was gunned down in the parking lot of Morgan Crossing shopping centre just before 7 p.m.,

in what police soon after described as a “merciless… targeted, gangassociated killing.” The next day, Fordy promised increased police pressure on those associated with criminal activity, and called on business owners to deliver the message, “You are not

welcome here.” Paquet cautioned citizens and business owners alike against doing anything rash. “We recommend trying to avoid any kind of confrontation, or getting involved in a situation that › see page 4

Flames advancing fast, the 75-year-old woman was trapped on the balcony of a two-storey home, and but for a dramatic rescue, she might not be alive today. Sam Sihalathavong was cutting his front lawn Monday, when he saw smoke coming from the house next door. The 49-year-old dashed over to the smouldering home and helped a man and a Sam Sihalathavong child out the front door. He asked the man if there was anyone else in the house, and the man, choking from smoke inhalation, pointed a finger upstairs. › see page 4

George wants to go home. Home to his fiancée and her 14-year-old son in Blaine, Wash.; and home to all his possessions, currently packed and awaiting transfer to Ohio, where he and his new family were planning to move last month to start a new life. Instead, for the better part of three weeks, home for the 45-year-old Ontario native – who asked to be identified only by his first name – has been the backseat of his Acura TL, which he’s

been living in with his dog since being denied re-entry into the United States on April 16, a day after the Boston Marathon bombings. In the meantime, George – who was contracted to start a new position as a software developer in Columbus April 22, after working similar, wellpaying past jobs with companies from Ontario to Kentucky – has seen his available cash evaporate to the point that he’s wondering how long he will even be able to keep his vehicle. “I’ve had to apply for social assistance – for welfare – for the first time in my entire life,” he Mom’s the Word

independence comes at a significantly higher cost to taxpayers. For the most part, those taxpayers seem quite ready to pay that price. The BC Liberals under Gordon Campbell, who was a former president of the Union of BC Municipalities, wouldn’t touch this issue with a 10-foot pole. It is surprising that neither the NDP nor the BC Conservatives, who say they want to save money, have even talked about this subject. Regional policing is much the same. While former Liberal attorney-general Wally Oppal has been busy beating that drum, few provincial politicians will even bring it up. It isn’t part of any party’s election platform. There are positives and negatives, and in the case of areas south of the Fraser, there are few advantages to being part of one big police force headquartered in downtown Vancouver. Police service here would inevitably suffer, and local input into policing decisions would be all but non-existent. However, the issue is worthy of debate and discussion. Ignoring it doesn’t mean it will go away, and again, both the province and municipalities are going to have to make fiscally prudent decisions in the future. Perhaps when it comes to municipal issues, the major provincial parties have taken the advice of former prime minister Kim Campbell, and decided that an election campaign is no time to talk about serious issues.

Friends reach out to Surrey man who lost five family members

Father raced to scene of horrific crash Kevin Diakiw Black Press

The birthday cake intended for two children killed in a horrific car accident Sunday remained at their father’s home on Monday. Gurmit (Jolly) Sachdeva told visiting mourner Gurpreet Singh that the cake would never be cut. Sachdeva was waiting at home on Sunday for his family to return from worship services. He became anxious when they were late, then heard on the radio there was a terrible car crash at 32 Avenue and 176 Street. He drove to the intersection and saw the family car had been sheared in half, and all five occupants – his three-year-old daughter Jessica, five-year-old son Annish, sister Neelam Dhingra, 47, mother Vidya, 68, and

his wife Pawandeep, 31, – were dead. When Singh, a Radio India host, arrived at the home to offer condolences on Monday, Gurmit Sachdeva and several friends were crying inconsolably. “He said, ‘we had a cake which is still waiting for my child,’” Singh recalled, explaining that though it was five-year-old Annish’s birthday, Jessica’s was also being celebrated because the dates were close. The three generations of the Sachdeva family were killed on Sunday, April 28 at 11 a.m. when their 1994 Toyota Corolla, travelling northbound on 176 Street, collided with a white 2012 Dodge Caravan, which was heading west on 32 Avenue. The collision sheared the Toyota in half, flipped the minivan onto its roof, and scat-

RCMP Insp. Lee Chanin said it is likely that the van’s driver will face charges. Police are investigating witness reports that allege the van went through a red light. The intersection was closed for several hours as police investigated. Surrey’s transportation committee plans to examine the safety of that corner. In particular, the committee will examine the possibility of putting an advance yellow light for traffic to prepare to stop on 32 Avenue. “I think making things safer after an incident is always important,” said committee chair Coun. Tom Gill. Whatever work is done there will have to be initiated and paid for by the B.C. Ministry of Transportation, as 176 Street is a provincial highway.

A capacity crowd at White Rock City Hall Monday listens as Terry Landers speaks in support of a 12-storey project proposed for Vidal Street.

12-storey proposal attracts overflow crowd

Project foes, supporters out in force Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Residents for and against a 12-storey project proposed for Vidal Street packed White Rock city hall to overflowing Monday. Of the nearly two dozen who spoke, more than half – including a number who currently call the site home and the project’s architects – voiced support, describing the concrete residential complex as an attractive, responsible one that will help revitalize the city. “This is the kind of project that will put White Rock on the map,” said Judy Tallas. “This building will be the prototype for future projects… a project that will set a precedent for White Rock’s growth.” Opponents argued its height and density are inappropriate for the neighbourhood, and cited impacts to views, property values and a lack of infrastructure. “Large density in what I would not call a large downtown core is not reasonable,” said Bill Baxter, whose Blackwood Street condo backs onto Vidal. Twelve storeys “will impact greatly on what sunlight we get now.” Eyed for 1467-1519 Vidal St., the project includes 12 townhouse units and 97 apartments, underground parking and public greenspace. To proceed, amendments are required to the city’s Official Community Plan

and a zoning bylaw; a land-use discharge bylaw is also required. City staff in March recommended rejecting the project based on concerns with the proposed heights and densities for the area, the loss of mature trees that would result, the potential for traffic increase and the necessary relocation of a dedicated, city-owned pathway. Council moved it to public hearing with a 4-2 vote on March 25. Coun. Al Campbell and Mayor Wayne Baldwin opposed the move; Coun. Helen Fathers, who had voiced opposition to the project at the March 11 land-use committee meeting, was absent. Interestingly, supporters Monday included some who had criticized the 2005 approval of Bosa Properties’ Miramar Village project,

one predicting it would be “the single biggest mistake ever made by White Rock’s city government.” Jean Kromm, who voiced concern at that time about the pace of development in the city, described the Vidal project as “one that you should be very seriously looking at approving.” A resident of the property where the Vidal project would be built, Kromm noted there are already eight- and 12-storey projects nearby, and that Douglas firs that would be removed in the process currently pose a hazard due to topping done 20 years ago. On the flip side, at least one opponent of the Vidal project was a Bosa supporter. Former city councillor Matt Todd was among those who voted in favour of the Miramar Village project. Acknowledging he is known not to fear density and height, Todd said Vidal Street is “not designed, is not a good host, for the kind of traffic” the proposed project will generate. “This is a great project. If it were two or three blocks east, it would be fantastic,” Todd said. Vidal Street resident Fiona MacDermid filed a 96-signature petition against the project. City clerk Tracey Arthur noted correspondence the city had already received included 119 notices of support and 56 notices of opposition. Council is expected to consider the requested amendments at its next regular meeting, set for May 13, however, the agenda has not yet been confirmed.

The final list of candidates registered for the May 14 provincial election adds two more newcomers in the race to represent South Surrey and White Rock constituencies. Ali Zaidi (BC Vision) joins the ballot in Surrey-Panorama, which already includes Marvin Hunt (BC Liberal), Amrik Mahil (BC NDP), Sara Sharma (BC Green Party) and Kevin Rakhra (BC Conservative). In Surrey-Cloverdale, independent candidate Matt Begley will battle Stephanie Cadieux (BC Liberal), Harry Kooner (BC NDP) and Howard Wu (BC Conservative) for the seat vacated by retired BC Liberal Kevin Falcon. The roster of Surrey-White Rock candidates remains unchanged, with incumbent Gordon Hogg (BC Liberal) meeting challengers Susan Keeping (BC NDP), Don Pitcairn (BC Green Party), Elizabeth Pagtakhan (BC Conservative) and Jim Laurence (British Columbia Party). Upcoming all-candidates meetings include: ■ Thursday, May 2, 7-9 p.m., White Rock Life Church Gymnasium (2265 152 St.); hosted by the Peninsula Homeless To Housing Task Force; focus on poverty reduction, provincial policy to address homelessness and food security. ■ Friday, May 3, 7-9 p.m., Star of the Sea Hall (15262 Pacific Ave.); Surrey-White Rock candidates only, hosted by South Surrey and White Rock Chamber of Commerce, ■ Monday, May 6, 6-8:30 p.m., Cloverdale Library (5642 176A St.): hosted by Surrey Libraries; focus on parent and youth issues in Surrey-Cloverdale and SurreyWhite Rock. ■ Tuesday, May 7, 5:30-9 p.m. Eaglequest Golf Course (7778 152 St.); hosted by the Surrey Board of Trade; candidates from all Surrey costituencies; focus on business, tax, transportation, industry, social and crime issues.

Police interview 120 individuals › from page 1 would place anybody from our community at risk,” he said. “While we feel that citizens should be able to go shopping or go to the restaurant or any place of business and not be confronted by organized-gang members… we are also urging them not to confront them themselves.” Instead, simply share as much information with police about the individuals as possible. “That’s where the public is key,” Paquet said. Fordy’s call to action has generated such tips, he said, and information gleaned on individuals with known gang affiliations is being shared with agencies across Canada. As a result of increased police presence in the week since Widdifield’s death, officers have approached or questioned more than 120 individuals and visited more than 70 businesses – the majority of those in South Surrey. “These interactions have led to five arrests for drug-related offences, as well as several driving prohibitions or other Motor Vehicle Act infractions being enforced,” Paquet said.

Chief Supt. Bill Fordy advises businesses last week to reject gangs. Police are also cracking down on court-order violations such as missed curfews and no-contact orders, he said. “We do those on a regular basis, we just do a lot more of those lately,” Paquet said, describing the tactic as “uniform-based suppression.” The targets of the strategy are “making it very clear they do not appreciate the increase in con-

tact,” Paquet added. “Our officers are definitely at the end of harassment allegations by some of the individuals we’re targeting,” he said. “We’re not surprised. But moving forward, we owe it to our community to continue.” Paquet could not comment on the status of the Widdifieldmurder investigation. It is in the hands of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.

There was a man from a local construction site near 135 Street and 66A Avenue, who had brought a ladder and was trying to get her off the balcony. Sihalathavong climbed up to help, but neither of the men could safely lift her over. A larger man, believed to be from a local halfway house, climbed the ladder to help. While trying to get her placed

on the ladder, the woman slipped, got a leg caught in a ladder rung and was hanging upside down. Sihalathavong yelled to the other men they had to lift the ladder down with the woman on it. The other two leapt down, joining Const.

Bert Paquet

said Tuesday. “In the face of adversity, these heroes rushed in while most would run away. Like Const. Dosanjh, many of these individuals just went back to work or carried on with their normal activities and routine.” The woman suffered seconddegree burns to her left side and torso and her condition has been downgraded from critical to serious. The man and child were also taken to hospital with minor injuries, but were later released. As of Peace Arch News’ press time Wednesday, the cause of the fire was not yet known.

Coun. Larry Robinson supporting call for changes to city’s rules

‘Boarders appeal bylaw Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A handful of local skateboarders wanting the City of White Rock to relax restrictions on the pastime waited more than two hours at city hall Monday night to plead their case – only to be told they couldn’t have the platform they expected. Standing up to speak during question period, around 9:30 p.m., speakers were cut short when they started outlining their concerns instead of asking council a question. At the same time, Mayor Wayne Baldwin encouraged Jody Alkema and others to come before them more formally. “You’re making an excellent presentation for a delegation,” Baldwin said. “Your points should be heard. They should be heard on camera, and that would be a far better place for this.” Alkema, Stuart Mitchell, Dan Epp, Kyle Smith and others turned out in support of a motion put forward by Coun. Larry Robinson calling for changes to the city’s Street and Traffic Bylaw. The bylaw currently prohibits longboarding in the city, and bans skateboarding within an area bounded by Oxford Street to the west, North Bluff Road to the north, Best Street to the east and Buena Vista Avenue to the south.

Tracy Holmes photo

Stuart Mitchell speaks to White Rock council Monday night.

Robinson told Peace Arch News he was approached by the ’boarders – who ranged in age from 13 to 45 – three weeks ago, after he raised concerns the bylaw was “unenforceable.” He suggested the city follow steps taken in North Vancouver, Oak Bay and Sidney, including: refine areas where the boards can be used; add definitions to the existing bylaw; implement escalating fines; and enforce the rules. The current bylaw makes “almost every human-powered device” in White Rock illegal, he said. At least one of Robinson’s colleagues disagreed changes are needed. Coun. Al Campbell said his concern is for the safety of residents, motorists and pedestrians. “There’s a history to these bylaws,” Campbell said. “There was a lot of problems… and there was a lot of citizen concern. I see

no reason to open an old wound. I won’t be supporting anything that relaxes the bylaw we have.” When Robinson noted it was the skateboarders themselves who asked why the city wasn’t enforcing the bylaw, Campbell said the point proves his own. “What you’re saying just emphasizes what I’m saying,” Campbell said. “They’re conceding that there is a bylaw and they’re probably breaking it. Just assume there’s no longboarding in the City of White Rock and there won’t be a problem.” Robinson took umbrage, and described the mindset as one that “belongs in the 1950s.” In prefacing a question, Alkema – a married father of four who rides a skateboard “whenever it’s sunny” – noted the bylaw goes against the city’s commitment to the Climate Action Plan, which encourages alternative methods of transportation. Mitchell, who teaches at Langley’s HD Stafford Middle School, said preventing youth from participating in something they enjoy is “bringing out some bad decisions.” Parent Annette Zacher appealed to council to “allow our children to do something without making them feel like they’re criminals.” Council voted to refer Robinson’s motion to staff.

Bad business

‘W

e don’t want you here and we don’t want your dirty money.” That is the message Surrey RCMP’s officer in charge is asking local businesses to deliver to gangsters, following last week’s execution-style murder of Craig Widdifield in a Morgan Crossing parking lot. It sounds authoritative, but what police are asking of private citizens poses some disturbing questions about civil liberties and the principle of assuming innocence until guilt is proven, long held to be a cornerstone of our system of justice. But far more than that, it suggests a veritable downhill run of good intentions, towards a panicky chaos of suspicion, profiling and downright dangerous confrontation. This is not the first time that gang-related murder has intruded on our reputedly peaceful Semiahmoo Peninsula community. These things have come to us, not by accident, but because those who have chosen to live by unlawful means have also chosen to live here, raise children here and patronize businesses here. So, too, have thousands of other people innocent of any crime or criminal association. Precisely how are we to differentiate between them? Surrey RCMP and the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit have both pledged backup for businesses that make gangsters unwelcome on their premises – but what that will translate to, in reality, is open to conjecture. It’s one thing when members of the RCMP and CFSEU hassle known criminals and their associates – it’s their business to know who the bad guys are, after all, and gather the proof to back up their suspicions. What are the rest of us to do – rely on appearances and hearsay? What’s next – circulating how-to-spot-a-potential gangster diagrams to business owners? Forget, for a moment, that most business people scraping a living in a doldrums economy need just about every dollar that walks in the door to keep afloat. Do police suggest bar and restaurant owners – not to mention frontline serving staff – be placed in a position of refusing service to a customer merely on the basis of unverified suspicion? Even more frighteningly, when a known gangster enters a bar or restaurant or gym, do you want your loved one at the door to be the one to tell him to leave. It’s in times like these that we need better – and more responsible – leadership from our appointed protectors of the peace.

on Scott Road in Surrey. On the other hand, there was the small matter of that Stanley Cup riot, which grew in scope as would-be rioters spread news of the action through social media channels, thus inviting more ne’er-dowells into the fray. The Canucks are big business in this province – I know, I know, that’s breaking news – so it only makes sense that the team’s presence escalates as the games become more important. The situation is similar in other major Canadian cities, too, especially this year in Toronto, where the Maple Leafs have qualified for the post-season after a drought so long – nine years – that the team’s last playoff game was not broadcast on television in high-definition. It’s not much less chaotic here, though. Where else could Joe Cannata – the Canucks’ unheralded minor-league goaltender – actually make the news, as fans and media alike scramble to answer the question: What if Roberto Luongo gets hurt before Cory Schneider is back?! The team’s fourth-line – which plays about eight minutes out of 60 each game – is also a focal point this week, for those of you crossing out boxes on your “playoff hysteria” bingo cards. So yeah, it’s all a little bit over the top. But it’s fun – perhaps even healthy – to have things to cheer for, to get excited about. And for all those non-fans, well, it won’t last forever. But no matter how long it does last – a week, a month, all summer – one thing is certain. It’s about to get loud. Nick Greenizan is a reporter at the Peace Arch News.

Peace Arch News

Difference of five years Editor: Strangest thing happened Monday. Doubtful anyone would believe me if they weren’t there to witness it themselves. It was surreal, like a UFO sighting, or a day with no parking or dog complaints in White Rock. Monday night, there was a public hearing for a highrise proposal. It brought out a predictable cast of local politicos, including Jean Kromm and Margaret Woods. It was like a reunion, of sorts. But this is the crazy part. I, a past councillor, spoke in opposition; and all the people who have, over many years, angrily argued against tall buildings and passionately defended trees, they were all arguing in favour of a 12-storey building – replacing mature trees… on a quiet street… outside the town centre! Mind. Blown. Isn’t it amazing how things can change in five years? In the 2008 election, city council was swept with candidates plumped by Citizens for Positive Renewal. Their tenets were opposition to buildings over four storeys, conservation of trees and preservation of the OCP. Kromm was a driving force within that political machine. But Monday night, Kromm said saplings can be planted in place of wayward giants. And, she argued that walking paths in the neighbourhood are already disjointed, so what’s the difference if this project makes it worse? All the OCP=bible, highrises=heresy disciples were reading the stereotypical ‘greedy developer’ script as their own. Woods implied that, nevermind her past allergies to precedent, this project is an exception, which should be approved. Coincidently, a surprising number of people who supported her election campaigns own a piece of the property, poised to cash in by selling to the developer. In their vitriolic attacks against me in the past, they insinuated developers were buying my support. I was offended by their cynicism. Isn’t it amazing how things change when it’s one of their own whose property is being developed? I guess everyone does have a price. Matt Todd, White Rock

Benefits to B.C. a smokescreen Editor: Re: Port vows consultation, April 25. It is interesting to read that the Surrey Fraser Docks is, at this late date, going to pay lip service to those people who are opposed to a coal facility at this location by having a couple of open houses. It is obvious this is just a PR move, to make it appear they are ‘listening,’ even when there has been official opposition from many quarters, including the City of White Rock. However, it puzzles me why the final paragraph of the article mentioned the support from the

BC Coal Alliance and how B.C. benefits from the B.C. coal industry. Including this statement just serves to confuse people trying to understand this issue, since it is only American coal, coming from the Powder River Basin, that would be handled at Surrey Fraser Docks. From what I have read, there is no financial benefit to B.C. except for the ‘promise’ of 50 jobs. Moreover, more and more coal terminals are being automated to the point when the outcome is an actual loss of jobs rather than any increase. Hannah Newman, White Rock

Consumer complicity Editor: Lately, while reading of that terrible clothing factory fire in Bangladesh, I recall that George Orwell wrote: “We all live by robbing Asiatic coolies, and those of us who are ‘enlightened’ all maintain that those coolies ought to be set free; but our standard of living, and hence our ‘enlightenment,’ demands that the

robbery shall continue.” Albert Einstein said it differently. He wrote: “In long intervals I have expressed an opinion on public issues whenever they appeared to be so bad and unfortunate that silence would have made me guilty of complicity.” We know inwardly that when we buy a shirt from a big-box store for $9 or less, the person who made it was not making even a starvation wage by any standards. I suppose we are all a bit guilty of complicity. E.A. Graf, White Rock

Let the rich pay for their gallery Editor: Given the abysmal track record of governments at all levels to build and maintain sport/entertainment facilities, we should not allow them to contemplate tax-dollar funding for a new Vancouver Art Gallery. Government has already so grossly overburdened us with debt, they can no longer afford to properly fund health care, education, child welfare and other necessities. Let the super-rich tiny minority who seek a new venue to display their chosen luxury fund 100 per cent of the costs. Do not pass the bill onto the average taxpayers, particularly younger generations who cannot even afford to buy a modest home, given the burdens already imposed upon them by governments.

Honey locusts are clearly too high for Pacific Avenue, writes Anne Torno.

Waste of time, money Editor: Re: Renewed call to axe trees, April 23. I would like to correct a statement attributed to me, regarding efforts to have trees removed alongside our building on Pacific Avenue. At no time in my presentation to council did I say that the tree roots pose a tripping hazard; rather, my argument was that the roots constitute a significant threat to our infrastructure and to that of the city. Also, the headline is somewhat misleading, given that our attempts to “axe” them have been ongoing since 2009! Prior to our second appearance before council on April 11, we had submitted two applications for tree removal and engaged in continual communications with city staff, none of which would have been necessary had the city not retracted – with no explanation – the permission to remove the trees that we had been granted after our first presentation! While it is true that the rapidly growing roots have the potential to inflict considerable damage to the sidewalk, our driveway, sewer lines and so on, our more immediate concern is that the very presence of the view-eradicating trees represents a breach of trust and a violation of our entitlements as owners. Many of our residents purchased

their units, pre-construction, from the developer’s building plan, which indicated only lowgrowing shrubbery would be used in landscaping. They chose their suites for the views; paid a premium for them; and have continued to do so, in the form of higher taxes and strata fees, despite the fact that our units can no longer be deemed view properties and thus, have significantly depreciated in value. That the city could have committed such a gross error in judgment as to plant honey locusts – capable of growing over 60 feet – in front of our view windows is beyond baffling. Furthermore, the city’s reluctance to make amends, although admitting the trees are unsuitable for the site, suggests a disturbing lack of regard for our right to enjoy what we paid for and to protect our investment. We had hoped this time around council would grant us the policy variance, in order to rectify our situation with some expedience. However, they chose to make no decision, forcing us to submit yet another application for removal of the trees – a time-consuming process that could have been avoided, had our esteemed council seen fit to spend less time courting developers, and more to addressing legitimate grievances of their electorate. Anne Torno, White Rock

Democratic abstinence Editor: Re: “B.C.’s future is in our hands, April 16 editorial. Now that the provincial “writ has dropped,” the old adage of “bad politicians are elected by bad citizens who do not vote” comes to mind. It’s been said that, in a democracy, decisions are made by a majority of the people. That really is not true; instead, decisions are made by a majority of those people who made themselves heard and who vote. About half of eligible voters stayed away from the polls in the 2009 provincial election. Worse, 27 per cent of registered young, eligible voters, aged 18-24, bothered to go to the polls to affirm their right, some would say their duty, as citizens. Perhaps our political journey from alienation, to apathy, to virtual paralysis reveals there once was a time when we did care, and that, in an odd way, voter apathy in itself as an expression of growing public disillusionment has now become a formidable political statement. E.W. Bopp, Tsawwassen n To all potential voters who plan not to vote: I want to thank you for your blind faith in me that I will make the right choice for you. Your confidence in my intelligence, research, priorities and wisdom is gratifying. Now, where is the Rhinoceros Party candidate on this ballot? Jerry Steinberg, Surrey

Car-bound man hopes to get a job Amazing Alaska › from page 1 George – who has four children in Ontario with his ex-wife – had spent a few weeks in Washington, visiting his new fiancée and her disabled son. He had been applying for jobs in the U.S. and had been hired on a sixmonth contract by a company in Ohio; through the NAFTA agreement, computer systems analysts are eligible for TN visas, which George had acquired. All that was left to do, he explained, was drive back into Canada with his paperwork – detailing his new position, among other things – and then turn around and return to the U.S. When he arrived in Canada April 15, he said, he was told by border officials that his paperwork was missing a few details, and once he had the problem fixed, he could come back. With just a few articles of clothing and his computer, he stayed in Canada for the day, got his visa papers adjusted, and returned to the border to head home. It was then that he was thoroughly questioned, fingerprinted and refused entry into the U.S. “The (border official) pulled me into the office and told me they were not approving my TN visa, and that he didn’t really think I was a computer-systems analyst,” George explained. “He’d looked at my resumé and nowhere was that job title listed – it was always something similar, like application developer or software developer. But it’s all the same thing.” Dismayed, George abandoned his job prospect and returned to customs to gain entry for a week. “I just wanted to get my belongings and move back to Ontario,” he explained. “But the border official got really mad – just livid. He said, if I ever tried to come back to the United States I’d be banned.” George said he was told that if he wants to return to the U.S. to work there temporarily, he must

show “ties and equity to Canada,” to prove he’s not planning to stay. Such ties, he was told, include months’ worth of Canadian mortgage statements and utility bills. “I don’t have that – but I have four kids in Ontario. How is that not a big enough tie?” he said. “I’ve never had a record, never had any problems. I’ve worked on a TN visa before in Kentucky, so I just don’t understand it. It just seems really unjust, just crazy.” George figures the Boston bombings – and subsequent heightened border security – played a role in his being denied entry. However, a spokesperson for U.S. Customs and Border Protection said the April 15 terror attack would not have had that impact. “People who have been denied entry are generally given information on what they need to obtain to be eligible for admission to the U.S.,” said Michael Milne, adding he could not comment on any specific case, citing privacy laws. “Many obtain the services of an immigration lawyer to assist them in the process.” But George said he cannot afford to hire a lawyer to help him. Making matters worse is that George has limited help available from family. His former sister-inlaw has tried to help where she can, he says, but he has no blood

relatives in North America, aside from his children in Ontario. His 73-year-old father lives in Greece, and last year was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. “I was hoping that starting the contract in Columbus would allow me the funds to visit him with my fiancée while he is still alive,” George said. “That seems like a very remote possibility at this point. He’s not sleeping now, knowing his son is homeless.” George’s plan now, he said, is to find employment and eventually save enough money to either move back to Ontario, or to hire a lawyer and try again to move to the U.S. to be with his fiancée. In the meantime, he will live in his car with six-year-old toy poodle, Cocoa – though he admits the situation gets tougher by the day. “I’ve been searching for work since I arrived,” he said. “It’s tough to find a job when you don’t have a permanent address.” In addition to applying for social assistance, he also checked out homeless shelters but none that allowed pets or provided parking. “One gentleman… told me I was safer living in my car,” he said. George also made contact with local MP Russ Hiebert’s office, which directed him to outreach and social-assistance programs. “Every now and then, we do run into situations like this with people trying to cross the border,” Hiebert told PAN. “Unfortunately, we don’t have any influence over the decisions of the U.S. (border officials), but if there are other ways we’re able to help, we’ll certainly look to do so.” George said his situation has caused stress to his fiancée and her son in Blaine, who don’t understand why he can’t come home. “He’s very angry at the U.S. border officials for taking his dad away, and because he sees how unhappy his mother is as a result,” George said. “Our lives have been completely wrecked.”

RCMP release photo of dog to aid in search

Missing man sought Police seeking help locating a missing South Surrey man are hoping the release of a new photo of his dog will help jog someone’s memory. It’s believed Tucker, a springer sSpaniel, may be with Vaclav (Walter) Simek, who was reported missing on April 10. The dog is always by his side, police say. Simek, 52, was last seen in late February, at his home in the 16300-block of 8 Avenue. According to Mounties, he rented a car between Feb. 23 and March 7

to move items from his home to an unknown residence. Since the return of the rental car on March 7, there has been no banking activity or cellphone use. There is no evidence of foul play, or to suggest that Simek has left the country. Simek is described as a six-footthree, 210-pound Caucasian man, with brown hair and blue eyes. Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, call 911 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, quoting file number 2013-43817.

No concern to public health: Environment Canada

Red water from runoff Reddish-brown water that flowed onto White Rock’s west beach last week has been identified as wash runoff. Greg St. Louis, White Rock’s director of engineering and municipal operations, said Tuesday that Environment Canada officials “have concluded there’s no concern to public health.” “They believe someone was washing down some kind of brick pavers.” The discoloured outflow was spotted the evening of April 22. The water colour returned to normal the following morning. Efforts to track down the exact source were unsuccessful. St. Louis said the incident prompted

staff to establish “a new and improved process” for city work, to better ensure that contaminants and solid waste are kept out of the storm sewers. Environment officials have also encouraged a campaign to educate the public on the fact that anything that goes into that system ultimately goes into fish habitat. Anyone planning to power wash their driveway, for example, should give a thorough sweep beforehand and put what’s collected into the trash, St. Louis said. “A high-pressure wash could break off pieces of brick pavers and send all that sediment” into the storm sewer, he said. - Tracy Holmes

The 48-year-old victim of an ice cream-fueled assault is taken to Royal Columbian Hospital in 2011.

Frozen treat fiasco blamed for stabbing

Assault charges put on ice Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A man who was arrested in connection with a stabbing that was allegedly fueled by a dispute over ice cream will not be tried for the crime. Prosecutor Brad Kielmann confirmed Friday that a stay of proceedings against Darren Duttenhoffer was entered in Surrey Provincial Court on April 23, the day before a trial on the matter was to get underway. “Essentially, there was some sort of change in the story,” Kielmann said. “There was some doubt about perhaps the way in which the events transpired. “Our charge-approval standard

of the substantial likelihood of conviction was no longer met as a result of it and the public interest was no longer there as well.” Charges were announced against a 50-year-old man after police responded to a report of an altercation at a motel in the 900-block of 160 Street on Sept. 19, 2011. A 48-year-old man had reported being stabbed by his longtime friend. According to a search warrant filed in Surrey Provincial Court, the altercation began after one man asked another if he could have some ice cream and was told no. A third man, who went to eat rice and gravy in the living room

of the motel unit, told police he heard a bang around 6 p.m., followed by arguing between the two other men, the documents state. When the victim reported his injuries, he said he was “bleeding heavily,” and when police arrived, they arrested one man at gunpoint. The victim was airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital with a two-inch-deep wound to his right shoulder blade. Kielmann said the stay of proceedings was directed after the victim “kind of changed” his statement regarding how he was injured on the evening in question. There was a mutual fight, however, “how that fight ended was unclear,” he said.

Renowned plantswoman remembered by family and friends

A growing legacy for Francisca Darts Sarah Massah

Staff Reporter

miling, Francisca Darts stands with her dog at the black iron gates that have led dozens of visitors into the tranquil garden she built from the ground up. “Hello, my name is Francisca Darts and this is Gus, which is short for Angus McDonald. We both welcome you to Darts Hill Garden Park,” she says over the chirping of birds. The scene, from the 2002 film detailing the history of the renowned South Surrey garden, is a familiar one to the late Francisca’s many friends. Well into her 80s, Francisca could still be found in her garden, walking or sitting at her favourite spot overlooking the vast 7.5-acre green space tucked away on 16 Avenue. For Nancy Oike, a longtime guide of the garden and the recently elected chair of the board of directors, she always remembers Francisca doing what she loved. “In all the years I worked at Darts Hill, my fondest memories included seeing Francisca working in the garden with various plants in her hand,” Oike said. Oike said she expected many more memories will be shared this weekend for a public celebration of life for Francisca May 4 at the city-operated garden. “With Francisca gone, it’s amazing how many old friends are coming around the garden to tell their stories,” Oike said. In the years leading up to Francisca’s death at age 96 on Dec. 26, the longtime resident had become increasingly ill, forcing her to move out of her home of more than 60 years on the Darts Hill property and into a care facility. Despite not physically being at the garden, Francisca’s presence was still felt, Oike said, noting that

Lieut.-Col. Rod Needham (right) presents an award to Surrey School’s Shawn Wilson.

District lauded by Canadian Forces Surrey Schools was presented with an Award of Excellence from the Canadian Forces last Thursday. The award, presented by Lieut.-Col. Rod Needham, who is a Grade 7 teacher at W.E. Kinvig Elementary, recognizes the district for Best Practices in

Employer Support for an Educational Institution. Needham and other reservist personnel who work for the district are regularly granted leaves to participate in various training exercises and opportunities with the Canadian Forces.

Lunches to continue

Monthly community lunches at Alexandra House will continue on the first Wednesday of each month, often featuring special activities and guest speakers. To participate, register by phone at 604-535-0015. Cost is $8 for members and $10 for non-members. Alexandra House is located at 2916 McBride Ave. in Crescent Beach.

uestion: My daughter is in her 40’s and she has never pursued any training which would give her anything but a hand to mouth living. She did well in high school but for reasons I can’t comprehend she associates with persons who seem lazy and interested only in smoking non-tobacco substances and I suspect indulge in a lot of more serious substances. My daughter has developed a bullying attitude towards me, and over the years has constantly hounded me for money. In recent years she has frequently come home in the middle of the night to angrily demand money from me. I now reckon that I have given her hundreds of thousands of dollars. I am still in my 60’s but I now feel that it would be unfair to my other two children that my daughter share in my estate. What can I do?

nswer: You can put all your assets in an alter ego trust, naming your other children as the trustees and beneficiaries after you die. It is more expensive than a will, but even more importantly you must always remember that your assets are in a trust, so it means a separate income tax return for the trust, and when property is changed you must make adjustments to your trust. It is a nuisance, so be sure that you are up to it. NEW CLIENTS WELCOME

Choices has been the proud recipient of local and national Fair Trade awards since 2010. What is Fair Trade? According to Fair Trade Canada Fair Trade is a different way of doing business. It is about making principles of fairness and decency mean something in the marketplace. It seeks to change the terms of trade for the products we buy – to ensure the farmers and artisans behind those products get a better deal. Most often this is understood to mean better prices for producers, but it often means longer-term and more meaningful trading relationships as well. Visit www.fairtrade.canada.ca 2010, 2013 Awards.

Longtime fish-and-game club volunteer ‘retires’

Celebrating Little Campbell hatchery stalwart Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Little Campbell hatchery manager Bob Oswald can’t remember a time when he didn’t love fish, wildlife and everything else the outdoors has to offer. The self-described outdoorsman and conservationist has been keen on it “ever since I could walk… all my life,” Oswald – a founding member of the Semiahmoo Fish & Game Club – said Tuesday, as he strolled a trail that winds alongside the river. But while the senior’s love for the environment hasn’t faded, Oswald says after more than 50 years of devoting himself to protecting, restoring and enhancing the Little Campbell watershed, it’s time to move on. “I’m really looking forward to spending the rest of my time with my kids, my grandkids, my greatgrandkids,” he said, referring to an upcoming move to the Interior. “They mean a lot to me.” Oswald, born and raised in a home on White Rock’s Vidal Street, has lived on the Semiahmoo Fish & Game Club’s South Surrey property since 1983, tending – alongside other devoted volunteers – to whatever needed doing on the 30 acres. “I retired at 55 ’cause this was more important than working for a living, to me,” Oswald said. “I’ve never regretted it, not for one moment.”

Tracy Holmes photo

After more than 50 years watching over the Little Campbell River and its watershed, Bob Oswald is moving on. Oswald was instrumental in the fish-and-game club’s formation back in the 1950s, and over the years has been a driving force in many initiatives, including projects and programs aimed at bettering the river for spawning salmon, and educating young students on why it matters. “It’s important to explain things to kids,” he said. “Hopefully, lots of them will become involved in the future.”

Club president Bob Donnelly named Oswald’s role in a multi-year program to restore the watershed’s threatened wood duck population as among highlights of the senior’s time there; his dedication was further demonstrated when he and three other club members mortgaged their own homes to help the club buy the land. The hatchery – designed and constructed in 1983 – was the province’s first all-volunteer facility of its kind.

“Bob’s devotion to and vision for the hatchery made him a natural choice to direct the project forward,” a tribute compiled by his family states. “This was the start of 30 years of dedicated work for Bob, giving him the opportunity to contribute his efforts to a cause that has driven him most of his life.” Over the years, Oswald – now 83 – has helped educate more than 100,000 elementary students in

Richmond, Delta, White Rock and Surrey on the life of the salmon/ trout, wildlife and indigenous trees and plants found in the Little Campbell and its watershed. He’s also been responsible for hatching, raising and releasing more than 4,000,000 salmon and trout into the river and its tributaries. In 2008, in recognition of his passion for the resource and educating others about it, the Freshwater Fisheries Society declared Oswald a “fisheries treasure.” While a health issue sidelined Oswald’s efforts for a time in 2007, and injuries suffered in a crash three years later did the same, nothing has succeeded in extinguishing his passion for the cause. “This little pocket – we want to hang onto it as long as possible,” he said. “Hopefully, we can keep fish in the water.” Oswald said he’ll miss his hatchery home, but he’s leaving with “lots of memories – good memories,” and optimism for its future. “We’re quite proud of our place. Done a lot of work over the years, taken good care of the river,” he said. “Hopefully, it’ll go on like that for a long time to come.” An event to celebrate and thank Oswald takes place Saturday (May 4) at the Semiahmoo Fish & Game Club, and everyone is welcome. It’s set for 3:30-5:30 p.m. at the club, 1284 184 St.

Social media campaign aims to get youth talking about sexual assault

Tackling tough topics with teens Black Press

Sexual violence. Consent. Rape. They’re uncomfortable topics for people of any age to discuss. But the Surrey Women’s Centre (SWC) is hoping its latest partnership with students from two local high schools will get youth to put aside the awkwardness and embarrassment and talk about sexual assault. “They need to start discussing what they know and don’t know, to avoid finding out the hard way,” said Quinn, a student at Guildford Learning Centre. (Last names of students have been withheld for their privacy). Located online at www.i-will.ca, the interactive social media campaign contains a gritty online quiz based on real experiences of sex, violence and relationships. Aimed at teens aged 13-18, it asks multiple choice questions about what sexual assault is, identifying sexist advertising, myths about the meaning of consent and gender comparisons. It also has a series of questions addressing what to do if you’ve been assaulted or if an inappropriate photo of someone you know gets circulated or if you see a girl passed out at a party. Sonya Boyce, executive director at the SWC, said as much as people might not want to talk about it, it’s essential to get young people to take a proactive role. “Social media was

she helped create the iWill campaign. “There aren’t many places where we can take a stand and help make change. It also opened up the eyes of a lot of students.” Those who complete the quiz are eligible to win one of two iPad2 tablets. Funded by the Department of Justice Canada, the website contains plenty of information on the laws surrounding sexual assault, information on available medical care and where to turn for help if you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted.

Members of the Surrey chapter of Canadian Parents for French (CPF) stopped by the Surrey Board of Education’s meeting last month to present a cheque for $12,500 to purchase Frenchlanguage books. Local CPF president Ellen Holmes presented the cheque to board chairperson Shawn Wilson following presentations by French-language students who demonstrated the program’s success. The money is being distributed to earlyand late- immersion elementary schools and the four French immersion high schools in Surrey.

Such incidents, she said, are too often referred to as bullying rather than sexualized violence. “It’s important because violence happens every day,” said Coral, another Guildford student, when asked why

While on the overnight flight to Boston, the only concern the Bromages had was getting to Harvard University in time to see all that the school’s open house had to offer. However, after landing in the city April 19, the South Surrey family’s plan was drastically altered after the open house was cancelled due to a city-wide lockdown ordered by police. Chris Bromage, wife Janine and daughter Lauren had landed in the city just as a massive manhunt began for two suspects in the fatal Boston Marathon bombing four days earlier. When describing the streets of Boston that day, Chris compared the city to a scene in a sciencefiction movie. “There was no transit, all the television stations were tuned to the news,” he said. “We had a rental car to get to the hotel, but it was like driving through a ghost town. “It was like a scene from Minority Report.” Despite the disappointment of the cancelled open house, Janine noted that the surreal experience was a memorable one. Especially when police finally captured their second suspect. “People were celebrating, and police came in and were given free drinks,” Janine noted. “It was a huge party in the

An error in submitting the final list of candidates is to blame for four BC Conservative candidates appearing on the ballot without the party’s name, according to leader John Cummins. The four candidates who will be listed without party affiliation are Christine Clark (Burnaby-

Lougheed), Wayne Marklund (Burnaby North), Manuel (Mike) Pratas (Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows) and former MP Bill Clarke (Vancouver-Quilchena). The four can still campaign as Conservatives and they’re featured on the party’s website, but Elections BC won’t label them as BC Conservatives on the ballot. Cummins said the error hap-

Economic policy dominates first televised discussion

Party leaders face off on TV Tom Fletcher Black Press

B.C.’s four major party leaders made their pitch for voter support in a 90-minute TV debate Monday evening, with economic and resource issues dominating. BC Liberal leader Christy Clark pressed her attack on Adrian Dix, the front-running leader of the NDP, accusing him of advocating big spending on government programs and restrictive environmental views that deter industrial development. “The NDP plan would rob Peter to pay Paul, hoping Paul will vote NDP,” Clark said. “My plan is to put both Peter and Paul to work.” Dix referred to B.C.’s ninth-place position in provincial job growth so far this year. “Neither Peter nor Paul are working,” he said. Both Dix and Clark pressed BC Conservative leader John Cummins on his rosy revenue fore-

casts, despite a promise to phase out the carbon tax on fossil fuels that would cost the provincial treasury more than $1 billion a year. Cummins responded to Clark’s jab about him being forced to fire four of his candidates for various indiscretions, noting that one BC Liberal candidate is seeking reelection after being convicted of the impaired driving. Green Party leader Jane Sterk was on the defensive about her long list of promises, including

a guaranteed annual income to replace existing social programs. Asked about her proposal to immediately raise the carbon tax by 66 per cent, Sterk described it as a “gradual increase.” As they have in the first two weeks of the campaign for the May 14 B.C. election, Clark and Dix clashed over oil and gas development. Dix denied there was a plan to impose a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing, saying Cariboo-Chilcotin NDP candidate Charlie Wyse was wrong in referring to one last week. Clark stuck to her five conditions for approving new heavy-oil pipelines, refusing to endorse or oppose either proposal to bring more Alberta oil to the West Coast. She pressed Dix on his reversal to oppose an expansion of the 60-year-old pipeline to Burnaby, which has seen increased demand for crude exports.

The televised leaders’ debate Monday night ended in a near-tie between NDP leader Adrian Dix and BC Liberal Leader Christy Clark, according to a new poll. The News1130/Insights West online poll found more than two-thirds of B.C. residents watched at least some of the debate. Thirty-one per cent said Dix won it, 28 per cent said Clark was the winner, 13 per cent picked BC Green party Leader Jane Sterk, while three per cent chose BC Conservatives Leader John Cummins. Twenty-six per cent said there was no clear winner. Those polled who picked Clark as winner said she appeared most confident, was the best speaker

or provided the clearest vision for B.C., while those who said Dix won said he was best at answering questions and defending his ideas and did not make any major mistakes. The vast majority of those polled say the debate only confirmed their existing choice or solidified who they were leaning towards. Eleven per cent said they changed their voting intention as a result. Insights West president Steve Mossop said the close debate outcome appears to have sparked some momentum for Clark and the BC Liberals, who have consistently trailed by a wide margin in earlier polls. He said early polling numbers after the debate suggest the NDP continue to hold a considerable lead with about 37 per cent of decided voters, versus 27 per cent for the Liberals.

Mother’ s Day Farms in election spotlight Party platforms include agriculture funding, policy reform

Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – Relief from carbon tax on farms and promotion of B.C.-grown agricultural products are key promises in the campaign for the May 14 provincial election. The BC Liberal party and the BC NDP have argued for a decade about the best way to promote local food consumption. The NDP platform promises to reinstate the “Buy B.C.” program that identifies products grown anywhere in the province. The BC Liberal government ended that program, and in 2012 it committed $2 million to regional “Buy Local” promotions that they say are more adaptable to local needs. The party’s current platform promises to double that funding to “promote 50- and 100-mile diets.” Neither party is specific about assistance for tree fruit growers. The NDP pledges to “help orchardists with replanting and other costs,” while the BC Liberals offer to “begin work on a permanent and sustainable

tree fruit replant program, to be implemented following the current three-year, $2 million program.” In its pre-election budget, the BC Liberal government has offered $20 million in carbontax relief for greenhouse and flower growers, in addition to an exemption for coloured gasoline and diesel used on farms. The BC Green party proposes major reforms, including phasing out synthetic chemical pesticides, banning genetically modified crops such as canola and removing taxes on valueadded B.C. products such as juices and wines.

Platform highlights: • The BC Liberals promise a new meat-inspection system by 2014, including a new “Certified B.C. Beef ” brand. The party also wants to create a “Centre of Excellence for Agriculture” at the University of the Fraser Valley. • The BC NDP promises $8 million per year starting in 2014 for agriculture programs. Plans include pilot programs to use B.C. produce in hospitals and long-term care facilities. • The BC Conservative platform promises only to “introduce policies that support, farmers, ranchers and others.” The party emphasizes its pledge to phase out the carbon tax on all fossil fuels, citing its role in poor financial performance by B.C. agriculture relative to the rest of the country. • The BC Green party would prohibit further release of toprated land from the Agricultural Land Reserve, and “provide small grants to support municipalities and school boards that wish to maintain and expand community gardens and urban agriculture.”

Service review to explore municipal partnerships

Metro eyes park shuffle KEEPING BC NDP CANDIDATE IN SURREY-WHITE ROCK

Jeff Nagel Black Press

Metro Vancouver may cut costs by turning some of its regional parks over to local municipalities to stop inefficently duplicating their efforts. The regional district is embarking on a wideranging service review of its regional parks system that will report back with a draft report by summer and final recommendations by fall. Regional directors increasingly question Metro’s role at some parks, saying it makes little sense for regional district and municipal parks crews to work in close proximity. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said Surrey crews could probably easily take over the maintenance of Tynehead Regional Park in the midst of her city. In some parts of North Vancouver, where regional, provincial and municipal parks abut each other, three separate sets of workers and managers are responsible. “It just doesn’t make sense to have three different land agencies monitoring the same trail within 300 metres,” North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton said at an April 18 Metro committee. Metro needs to either find more revenue or cut costs to free up millions of dollars it estimates are needed to upgrade aging facilities and infrastructure at existing parks, as well as bankroll an ambitious program of acquiring more parkland. Regional planners want to add 5,500 hectares of land to the park system at an estimated cost of $1.1 bllion over 30 years. Tremendous investment is also needed to make the proposed Experience the Fraser trail network a reality instead of mainly a plan on paper. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said he wants a “real hard look” at the role Metro plays in running parks and whether it makes more sense for local cities to take them on.

File photo

Surrey’s Tynehead Regional Park is one of several parks that could be turned over to the city by Metro Vancouver in an effort to cut costs. He noted Metro couldn’t afford to dredge Burnaby Lake Regional Park so his city had to cover the cost. “If you can’t service a park, you can’t invest in a park, why would you keep acquiring parks?” Corrigan asked. The review will examine the parks function’s relevance and look at different potential operating models. Parks deemed regionally or ecologically significant are unlikely to be offloaded. Corrigan was skeptical as to whether Metro staff will deliver “dispassionate” findings that might result in them losing jurisdiction over some parks. Metro has more than 14,500 hectares of parkland in 22 regional parks, five greenways, two ecological conservancy areas and four regional reserves. Lynn Headwaters, Belcarra, Pacific Spirit, Campbell Valley, Colony Farm and Surrey Bend are among the larger Metro regional parks.

Businesses lobby for film More than $20 million in economic spinoffs annually are at stake if the province doesn’t become more generous to the local film industry, according to the Surrey Board of Trade (SBOT). At its meeting last week, the SBOT approved the position of asking the provincial government for an increase in tax credits to support B.C.’s film industry, specifically to help create jobs. The board points to an $880,000 economic impact to Surrey in 2012. City film permits issued included: 26 for TV series; three for feature films; 20 for commercials; four for Bollywood projects and three other related film industry businesses. The income from the film and TV sector to Surrey residents is over $24 million in annual payroll, according to SBOT, noting there is an economic urgency for the province to support its creative

economy, specifically its film and television industry. “The Surrey Board of Trade doesn’t disagree the government has been generous, but there’s a 10 per cent tax-break difference between B.C. and Ontario. We want the tax break to be closer so that the local film industry can compete to obtain business”, said Surrey Board of Trade CEO Anita Huberman. Currently, the B.C. Production Services Tax Credit offers a credit of 33 per cent, but only for B.C. labour expenditures, whereas Ontario and Quebec offer a 25 per cent credit on all production expenditures within each respective province. The intent is to ask for tax breaks for all foreign productions on all production spending within B.C., rather than solely labour spending. This policy is currently in place in Ontario and Quebec.

South Surrey’s Diskordanse performing this month

Troupe ‘breaking barriers’ Alex Browne Arts Reporter

South Surrey-based company Diskordanse will present Dislokation: Layer Three – described as a “mind-altering contemporary dance experience” – May 7-9 at Surrey Arts Centre. An outgrowth of XBa Dance studio, Diskordanse brings together a diverse group of talents, including former figure skaters, ballet-trained dancers and contemporary, ballroom and Highland dancers for work that aims to strike a balance between athleticism and creativity. Dislokation: Layer Three combines avant-garde digital-dance video with live choreography, featuring dancers Carolyn Zaruk, Amadea Hallwas, Kerri Zanussi, Skye Ferguson, Shelby Peluso and Melissa Partridge. For Diskordanse and XBa artistic director Nela Hallwas, the company fullfils a longstanding dream – to create an opportunity for paid dance work and a chance to showcase former students and faculty of XBa on the professional stage. Born in Yugoslavia, Hallwas grew up in Montréal, studying classical ballet at the École de Danse Lacasse-Morenoff, and receiving a degree in classical piano performance.

Local ballerina takes the stage Alex Browne Arts Reporter

White Rock resident McKeely Borger will be one of the company members dancing in Coastal City Ballet’s new full-length ballet A Midsummer Night’s Dream, premiering this Sunday at ACT Maple Ridge, and Tuesday at North Vancouver’s Centennial Theatre. This is the 19-year-old Saskatchewan native’s first season with the preprofessional ballet company, established in 2011 under the artistic direction of Li Yaming. Set to Felix Mendelssohn’s celebrated music, A Midsummer Night’s Dream has been specially choreographed for the company by Irene Schneider, former artistic director of Germany’s Magdeburg Ballet, who created last year’s successful Hansel and Gretel, and features students from throughout the Lower Mainland. A dancer for 15 years, Borger has trained in jazz and tap with the Canadian Dance Teacher’s Association, earning an advanced diploma in both. She also received a Royal Academy of Dance advanced certificate with honours.

Surrey wins two in row in round-robin tournament

Eagles advance to Western playoffs Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

After opening the tournament with a loss, the Surrey Eagles now find themselves in good shape at the Crescent Point Energy Western Canada Cup, after two straight wins this week. The BC Hockey League champions sit in a three-way tie atop the round-robin standings with a 2-1 record. On Monday night at Naniamo’s Frank Crane Arena, the Eagles edged the Steinbach Pistons 5-3 and Tuesday turned in their best effort of the tournament, shutting out the host Nanaimo Clippers 4-0. The wins guarantee the Eagles will advance from the five-team round-robin into the four-team playoff round of the tournament. “It’s not really going to change the way we play. We just need to do what we do and hopefully that’s good enough to win,” said Eagles coach Matt Erhart after Tuesday’s victory. “In these short-term ❝In these tournaments, you’ve got short-term to get better every day, tournaments, and we’ve done that so you’ve got far.” Tuesday, Surrey was led to get better by forward Drew Best, every day.❞ who scored two goals and Matt Erhart added an assist. Eagles coach Neither team scored in the first period, but Best scored twice in the second – Brady Shaw assisted on both – and Adam Tambellini also found the back of the net when his shot from the left circle evaded Nanaimo goalie Jayson Argue. Michael Stenerson added a fourth goal for the Eagles just 13 seconds into the third period after Argue was caught out of the net trying to play the puck. After Argue misplayed the puck, Best picked it up and threw it out front to Stenerson, who scored into the empty cage. As he has been throughout the playoffs, Michael Santaguida was between the pipes for Surrey, stopping 31 shots to record his fifth shutout of the post-season. “We were skating and putting Nanaimo back on their heels and creating good scoring opportunities,” said Erhart, whose team had a day off Wednesday and prepares to play the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League champion Yorkton Terriers today (Thursday). And while Erhart was pleased with his

We didn’t have the same edge to our game that we had had the previous game (against Brooks).” Against Steinbach Monday, Surrey jumped out to a lead early, scoring twice in the first period on goals from Shaw and Trevor Cameron, and Tambellini added a power-play goal midway through the second to stake the Birds to a 3-0 lead. Steinbach made it 3-1 before the second

intermission, however, on a goal from Nick Kobelka, and the third period was dominated by the Pistons, despite each team scoring twice, including Cameron, who potted his second of the game. “We had a sluggish start and we were sitting back, waiting for things to happen,” said Pistons coach Paul Dyck. “We started playing with some urgency and desperation as the game went on… maybe if we had an extra five or 10 minutes, things would’ve went our way.” From the Eagles’ standpoint, they were just happy to escape with the victory, which kept the BCHL squad from dropping to 0-2 after losing to the Brooks Bandits Saturday afternoon.

“Credit to Steinbach, they really put us on our heels,” Erhart said. “We turned way too many pucks over, and quite frankly, we just hung on for the win. It wasn’t pretty, that’s for sure.” After the Eagles and Terriers play tonight, Friday is an off day for all teams, before the top four clubs begin the playoff rounds Saturday. The top two teams from the Western Cup earn a berth in the Royal Bank Cup, set for Summerside, P.E.I. In playoff rounds, the top two teams from the round-robin will square off, with the winner earning the first of two RBC berths up for grabs. – with files from Greg Sakaki

‘It’s a proud day for the Aquasonics’ The BC Aquasonics placed on the podium at Canadian Open Synchronized Swimming Championships last weekend in Quebec City. The Aquasonics’ senior national stream team – which includes White Rock’s Mackenzy Higgins, Cloverdale’s Erin Williams and Surrey’s Natasha Heine – won a silver medal at the event, posting a total score of 73.817. “Every member of the team brought their best to the pool tonight,” said Aquasonics head coach Susan Kem-

per. “They gelled as a team at the right time. We believed we were medal contenders, and we accomplished what we set out to do. It’s a proud day for the BC Aquasonics.” The Aquasonics were the only team from B.C. to finish on the podium in any event at the national competition. In individual events, Williams placed fifth in the senior solo (technical) competition, and sixth in the solo (free) event, while the duet pair of Heine and Higgins placed fifth.

Elgin strong on the pitch The Elgin Park Orcas had two strong showings at B.C. High School Provincial Sevens Rugby Championships last weekend in Vancouver. Elgin’s senior girls squad placed sixth in the province, while the boys team ended up in 12th overall. In the girls tournament, the Orcas suffered a serious blow in the opening minute of the first game against Carson Graham, when team captain Alexa Martin had to leave the game after rolling her ankle. And in the second game, against Shawnigan Lake, vice-captain Maira Acevedo was also injured. “We were in tough,” said Elgin Park coach Johan Mynhardt. Elgin lost both games, but rallied in the third contest to beat Rick Hansen Secondary Friday. The team opening game Saturday, they lost to Heritage Park, but the Orcas rallied once more to win their last two games, beating Seaquam first and then, in the Shield final, defeated Kelowna.

Whether you’re already a home owner or you’re thinking about becoming one very soon, buying a house is probably the biggest investment you’ll ever make.

So it’s vital that this investment be protected in every possible way, firstly by maintaining it on a regular basis and secondly by carrying out renovations, whenever possible, to give it a new and fresher look. Home renovations contribute a great deal to the economy of this country. Indeed this sector equals or even exceeds construction of new homes in some years. Keeping up the maintenance of a house and carrying out high quality renovations offer many different advanages. A house which is looked after properly will retain or even increase in value. When the time comes to sell, owners don’t just recuperate their investment, but in a lot of cases they can also realize a certain amount of profit.

This increased value can, in turn, open the way to purchasing a larger, more luxurious house. But whether we decide to sell or to stay in the same home, a well-maintained and renovated property will give the occupants a better quality of life. Perhaps it will have a more welcoming decor, a more efficient heating system, a more ergonomic kitchen, a more comfortable bathroom, a cosier bedroom… All these factors demonstrate just how important it is to take good care of a home, keeping it attractive and in a good state of repair. For, in more ways than one, a house is truly a lifetime’s investment.

The local soccer community will be wellrepresented in Victoria May 11, as four teams have advanced to Provincial Cup finals. The Surrey United Soccer Club will be attempting to repeat the double, as both its men’s and women’s teams will play for a provincial championship. The women got a goal from Nicole Stewart and edged the Castaways of the Lower Island Women’s Soccer Association 1-0 in a semifinal match last Sunday at Cloverdale Athletic Park, leaving them one victory away from a 10th consecutive Provincial Cup title. Theresa Nuttal earned the shutout. In the men’s competition, the Surrey United Firefighters are seeking a second consecutive B.C. championship, after a 1-0 decision over the Vancouver Thunderbirds Friday at Thunderbirds Stadium at the University of British Columbia. The game was scoreless for the first 40 minutes, then United got a break near the end of the first half as a Thunderbirds player received his second yellow card of the match and was sent off. The Surrey squad netted the winner while playing with the extra man, when Jeff Clarke headed a cross from Vinnie Stewart into the net. Also reaching Provincial Cup finals are the North Delta Rangers in the Masters’ category, and Guildford FC in the men’s under-21 group. Winners in the men’s and women’s competitions will advance to the national championship tournament in Halifax in October. United placed second in the Jubilee Trophy women’s competition in Winnipeg last year, but Crew Cab SL model shown will play the provincial final without two key players. Katie Thorlakson and Rachael Pelat are both injured. Surrey will face the North Shore Renegades in the Provincial Cup final. Both teams play in the Metro Women’s Soccer League, and split their two head-to-head meetings this past season. The Firefighters placed fifth at the Jonker nissan Challenge Cup men’s national championship 19505 Langley By-Pass tournament last fall, also Surrey, BC in Winnipeg, and have Tel: (604) 534-7957 struggled to find their www.jonker.nissan.ca form since then.

FortisBC-sponsored People’s Choice Award spawns huge interest

Having your say with the People’s Choice For the first time this year, the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association included a People’s Choice category in their Ovation Awards. “GVHBA launched the People’s Choice Award as a fun and interactive way to raise awareness for the Ovation Awards,” says Wendy McNeil, vicepresident of marketing and education for the GVHBA. “More than 3,200 people voted ... I was thrilled with the response as it is the first year for this category, but I know we’ll have even more people voting next year.” Readers were asked to vote for their favourite new or renovated project. Everyone who voted was included

in a prize draw for a gas barbecue, sponsored by FortisBC. The winners were Gary and Bernice Robinson. “We’re very happy to sponsor the GVHBA and Ovation Awards and have this opportunity to support builders of high-quality, energy-efficient homes,” says Dan Noel, regional energy solutions manager for FortisBC.

The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association has honoured the best of the best in the Metro Vancouver residential construction industry at the Ovation Awards, handed out on April 20 in Vancouver.

“

This is such a proud moment for us as our goal and greatest reward is to always give our customers the best possible homebuying experience,” says Portrait principal Robert Grimm.
