Surrey business group to consider endorsing of Kinder Morgan pipeline

Board of trade backs new coal terminal Jeff Nagel Black Press

The Surrey Board of Trade has come out in support of a controversial new coal export terminal proposed on the city’s riverfront, saying concerns raised about environmental impacts are not serious enough to trump economic development. And CEO Anita Huberman indicates the business organization may well take the same stance on the proposed twinning of Kinder Morgan’s oil pipeline. She said the board of trade is satisfied with

assurances from Fraser Surrey Docks that and that’s what I think is happening somevarious strategies will minimize the escape of times in South Surrey,” she said. “Yes the envicoal dust from trains and from the proposed ronment is important… The economic arguterminal that would load four ment for us is the winner.” ❝We have to stop saying million tonnes of coal per She’s pressing other stake‘no’ to everything, and that’s holders and business groups year onto barges.

The South Surrey/White Rock Chamber of “We have to stop saying ‘no’ to everything, Commerce has not yet taken a position – its

board is to consider the issue this week – and Huberman said she hoped the two groups could have adopted a united position by now. Although some civic leaders are making their opinions known, cities and even the regional district have no jurisdiction over the terminal, apart from an air-emissions permit Metro would be expected to issue. White Rock council has been critical of both the process and the plan, calling for limitations on train traffic and assurances that coal dust will not impact health. › see page 4

Hunt asks for leave

Byelection back on the table Kevin Diakiw Black Press

It looks like Surrey may be heading for a civic byelection after all to fill the seat of Coun. Marvin Hunt, Surrey-Panorama’s top votegetter in this month’s provincial election. The BC Liberal MLAelect had planned to remain on Surrey council until Jan. 1, 2014 to avoid a byelection – which could cost between Marvin Hunt $600,000 and MLA-elect $800,000, according to city staff – and said he would donate his council pay to charity. However, last week B.C. Premier Christy Clark urged all council members elected as MLAs to take unpaid leaves of absence from their civic posts, and Hunt subsequently told Black Press he had dismissed the notion of doing both jobs and would be pursuing the leave. › see page 2

White Rock water forum

White Rock staff are expected to present next month the findings of a business case exploring whether the city should try and purchase its water utility. To raise awareness of the issue’s significance, citizens campaigning in support of the move are hosting a public forum Monday at the First United Church (15385 Semiahmoo Ave.). “The forum is really just to bring awareness to many of the residents,” said Margaret Woods, a former city councillor and member of the newly formed White Rock Accountable Water Committee. “They know that they’re paying their water bill to Epcor, but they don’t understand the ramifications.”

Woods is among 13 individuals registered as intervenors in an application by Edmonton-based Epcor – the current owner of White Rock’s water utility – to B.C.’s deputy comptroller of water rights to carry out millions of dollars in upgrades to the system. She said a key concern with Epcor’s Total Water Quality Management Project is cost (estimated at up to $12 million, with recovery achieved through rate increases). Citizens and the city as a whole, she said, have nothing to gain from the work. Monday’s forum is to feature Cornell University Prof. Mildred Warner on the benefits of publicly accountable municipal services; followed by a question-and-answer period.

Some wary of split city votes › from page 1 That decision, however, would require the assent of council, and Hunt – a 23-year council veteran – doesn’t have support of his colleagues to make that move. A straw poll conducted by Black Press Friday indicates the majority of council – Couns. Barinder Rasode, Tom Gill, Linda Hepner, Judy Villeneuve and Barbara Steele – is against Hunt taking a leave of absence. “I think if he’s not going to be attending meetings, he should reconsider his position,” Villeneuve said. Steele said Hunt will be missed on council, but she prefers a byelection to leaving his seat vacant for a protracted period. Hepner said it’s important to fill Hunt’s seat as soon as possible. “I would rather see the public choose their representative,” Hepner said. “I understand that is expensive to a city, but I can tell you right now we have products of byelections sitting on our council,” referring to Steele, who took a seat in 1998. Rasode said the cost of the byelection is

White Rock

“a statutory amount that is set out in our budget… so it won’t be undue hardship on our budget.” Several of the councillors say the civic democratic system calls for a byelection for a vacant seat, some noting there would be an increase in the number of proposals brought to council dying on a tie vote. Rasode, Hepner and Steele also oppose Hunt trying to do both jobs. Couns. Mary Martin and Bruce Hayne, along with Mayor Dianne Watts, approve of him taking unpaid leave. Watts said the cost of a byelection could be far better used for some public amenities. The byelection would be held 80 days after a chief elections officer is appointed, which will happen as soon as the clerk is notified the seat needs to be filled. Hunt planned to bring a motion before council for a vote Monday night, after Peace Arch News’ press deadline. If teh motion fails, he would have to go back to Clark and ask if she would make an exception, allowing him to do both jobs.

White Rock bureaucrats consumed by various projects: city manager

City staff request skateboard, tree delays Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock staff have recommended that two efforts to change city rules – for where skateboarders can ride and how trees are dealt with citywide – not be bumped up in priority. Both issues were raised separately in recent weeks, with Coun. Larry Robinson pushing for changes to White Rock’s Street and Traffic Bylaw that would ease restrictions on skateand longboarders, and Coun. Helen Fathers asking for an earlier-than-planned look at establishing a citywide tree bylaw. In reports that were to be considered by council Monday night – after Peace Arch News’ press deadline – staff asked that both

reviews be deferred until next year, citing insufficient capacity to perform thorough reviews at this time. “It is recommended that the review and amendment to Street and Traffic Bylaw No. 1529 be deferred until 2014 in order to allow staff to give it the appropriate attention it deserves in view of current competing demands for staff resources,” writes Greg St. Louis, the city’s director of engineering. Robinson asked for the review last month after he was approached by boarders appealing for changes. He suggested the city refine areas where the boards can be used; add definitions to the existing bylaw; implement escalating fines; and enforce the rules.

St. Louis said a “complete review” would “inevitably” require even is needed to address all outdated secmore, Stanton writes. tions of the bylaw. While staff agree additional areas In requesting deferral of the citycould be added to the bylaw, “proper wide tree bylaw review, director of identification… will take time and planning and development services resources to prepare.” Paul Stanton notes the project is City manager Dan Bottrill – noting already on the books for late 2014, staff time is “consumed” by projand should remain there “in order to ects including an official community allow staff to give it the appropriate plan review relating to the Lower Dan Bottrill attention it deserves…” Town Centre and large-scale develcity manager He notes the existing tree-manopments – suggests focus may be agement bylaw, adopted in May better placed on a tree-management 2010, applies to trees on private lands in strategic plan outlining strategies to enhance defined areas of the city.

Waterfront pilot project

Merchants split over food carts Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The City of White Rock is venturing into the food-cart movement, launching a pilot project next month along the waterfront. Existing seaside restaurateurs interested in operating a cart along the promenade this summer have until 4:30 p.m. Friday to apply for one of up to 15 possible locations. “What we were intending to do was try to enhance the experience on the waterfront,” city manager Dan Bottrill explained Thursday. “There’s been some interest. Some people… have been emailing for a few weeks, wondering when we’re ready.” Bottrill said the idea stemmed from a suggestion made during last year’s community forum on the waterfront. Putting it into play first required amendments to the city’s official community plan to allow commerce south of Marine Drive – amendments that were finalized “a few weeks” ago. “Obviously, we thought it was a good suggestion and we’re moving forward on it,” Bottrill said. Don Gilroy, outgoing executive director of the White Rock Business Improvement Association, said

Thursday that support for the idea is split: merchants who can afford to invest in a food cart are in favour, while those who can’t, aren’t. When the idea was first raised several months ago, it was with “enough detail to make people panic, but not enough… to get people to respond,” Gilroy said. Now that the request is out, merchants will need to review their budgets to see if it is workable to participate, he said, describing food carts as something that “can work really well” in certain regions. At least one restaurateur said she is in favour of the idea. Jan Wait of Jan’s on the Beach said while she doesn’t plan to apply for a food-cart site this year, she is “fine” with other Marine Drive merchants taking the opportunity. It is “definitely not a cheap undertaking,” Wait noted. In White Rock, the opportunity will be restricted to existing restaurateurs who want to operate a non-motorized food, beverage and/or ice cream cart between June 15 and Oct. 15. Bottrill said the city is also looking to add stand-up paddleboard and kayak opportunities to the waterfront.

White Rock RCMP are asking for the public’s assistance to identify two men alleged to have used a stolen credit card to purchase more than $1,500 worth of alcohol. On May 18 at approximately 9 p.m., two men bought the alcohol from the White Rock Liquor Store, in the 15100-block of North Bluff Road. The credit card used was later discovered to have been stolen from a vehicle in Surrey earlier that day. The first man is described as Indo-Canadian, 45 to 55 years old, with a moustache and balding dark hair. He was wearing wirerimmed glasses, a grey sweatshirt with a white stripe across the chest and black sweatpants with a white

‘It will feel like a hearing’ Jeff Nagel Black Press

It may be the closest anyone gets to a full public hearing on a controversial proposal to build a new coal-export terminal in Surrey. Metro Vancouver’s board voted Friday to throw open its June 14 meeting to delegations on the topic, and officials from Port Metro Vancouver and Fraser Surrey Docks will be there to answer questions. Critics of the plan to increase coal shipments by rail and then barge have zeroed in on the failure of the port – the final deciding body – to adequately consider opposition, which includes those who want U.S. coal to stay in the ground and not add to climatewarming emissions, as well as neighbourhood opponents who

either fear escaping coal dust or don’t want more trains rolling by. “I think it’s ironic it’s come down to regional government being the one who’s trying to organize public hearings around this issue when the port authority is the public agency with the power to make the decisions,” said Kevin Washbrook of Voters Taking Action on Climate Change. Washbrook said the port is abdicating its regulatory role by not organizing hearings itself, adding it should still do so. Port Metro Vancouver has so far let Fraser Surrey Docks – the proponent – lead open houses into the proposal, which would export an additional four million tonnes of coal per year. It’s far from a massive jump in the region’s existing or approved

coal-handling capacity – an increase of less than 10 per cent. But opponents like Washbrook say it amounts to a new terminal that, once open, could expand further. They want B.C. to forge a common front with coal activists in the U.S., who have so far blocked new coal-export terminals in Washington and Oregon. Metro’s environment committee has already debated the issue and its resolution to oppose increased coal shipments – deferred on Friday – would be voted on by the full board after the delegations are heard. “It will look and feel like a public hearing,” said Metro board chair Greg Moore, who expects a long list of speakers. Speakers must make a request 48 hours in advance.

A break-in to a South Surrey jewelry store has the owner calling for increased police presence in Morgan Crossing. “We are feeling very, very unprotected,” John Gulerian, of Natalia Jewellers, said. Gulerian’s store, at 102C-15735 Croydon Dr., was targeted early May 15. Gulerian said video surveillance shows two masked culprits gained entry around 4:30 a.m. They were in and out of the store within two minutes, clearing watches and jewelry from five showcases before fleeing. “They broke the wooden doors to get into the merchandise,” Gulerian said. “One of them had a metal pipe, and the other one had a crowbar.” Gulerian said he and his fam❝This is ily opened the store in Morhappening too gan Crossing shopping centre much in Morgan nearly three years ago, after 12 years in Peninsula Village.

He hopes to reopen this weekend. Gulerian said his store is not the only one that has been targeted in recent months, and that he is frustrated more isn’t being done to address the issue. “(It is) the small things that bring the big things,” he said, pointing to the shooting last month of 28-yearold Craig Widdifield. “It is so frustrating what is happening. Maybe the presence of the police in there more frequently… maybe they deter these guys. This is happening too much in Morgan Crossing, that is a problem.”

As of Monday, suspects in the May 15 break-in remained at large, and none of the stolen goods had been recovered. Paquet said police did recover a van that was used to commit the offence, and are awaiting results of a forensic examination.

Parents need to talk tough

t least twice each year in B.C., there is a real push from police and other groups against drinking and driving – once at Christmas and again in the spring. At Christmas, age is not a consideration for police, who aim to promote responsible action during the holiday-party season; but in springtime, the target group is clear – it’s youth. Whether it’s coincidence or not, in the spring – around graduation time – those caught for drinking-and-driving offences tend to be younger people. They are, frequently, young men experiencing what some would call the rites of passage. Drinking and driving, however, isn’t a rite, it’s a crime – one with deadly consequences. More than two years ago, the province introduced Canada’s toughest impaired driving laws and the number of alcohol-related motor vehicle deaths went down by half. Here on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, Alexa’s Team – created in honour of Alexa Middelaer, the four-year-old who was killed by a drunk driver – has further championed the cause; the group, made up of police officers throughout the province, has removed more than 41,000 impaired drivers from B.C. roads since 2008. With any luck, the days of parent-sanctioned “wet” grad parties are a thing of the past. With more parents and students concentrating on dry grad activities that have youth celebrating in a safe, non-alcohol-fuelled atmosphere, one would think the old hay field parties of yore have been left in the past. But some parents still believe in the old adage, ‘kids are going to drink anyway, so we’ll just make sure they don’t drive.’ That is a difficult stance to take when, as parents, they’ve spent the last 18 years of their child’s life trying to teach them right from wrong. Then they tell them that wrong is OK, as long as mom or dad says so. It’s a parent’s job to make the tough decisions – even if they are not the most popular ones with their kids. All their lives, parents have made decisions for their children based on what they think is best for them. It may not be the easiest thing they’ve ever done, but convincing a teen that drinking alcohol is not a necessity when celebrating – and that doing so could bring harm to themselves and others – will make everyone feel better in the morning.

Rupert union local, contributes an article headlined: “What kind of citizen do we hope to graduate from our K-12 public schools?” Larson first quotes the education ministry’s current goals. They include preparing citizens who are “creative, flexible, self-motivated, and who have a positive self-image.” Another goal is citizens who are “skilled and who can contribute to society generally, including the world of work.” Larson then mocks these goals, as follows: “Essentially, the Ministry of Education has a vision of citizens who will maintain the status quo, not rock the boat, and participate on a superficial level in aspects of political and societal change. It doesn’t challenge individuals to take direct action against exploitation, marginalization and violence.” In case you missed the political message, Larson later asserts: “The educated citizens we graduate from our schools cannot just be content to wear a pink shirt once a year…. Educated, engaged citizens must be willing to take direct action to change and shape our society for the better.” What is this ghastly “status quo” that must be challenged by “direct action”? In these campus-radical screeds, the final answer is generally the same: capitalism. This call to arms is a blend of the NDP election platform and a rant from the Occupy Vancouver squat of a couple of years ago.

Buck stops with Harper Editor: Prime Minister Stephen Harper had a chance to be a leader, ethically accountable, humble and contrite by accepting responsibility for the Conservative Senate scandal, even to put it behind him. He blew it. Instead of accepting responsibility, Harper tells us Canadians want the Senate to change. But what is needed isn’t Senate reform. Ethical conduct in appointment, yes. Patronage and partisanship, no. Divisive provincial Senate elections, absolutely not. But that is what Harper wants and where he wants to deflect his Senate scandal. Harper is using the scandal of his making and that of his party to push the Reform Party – his old party – divisive agenda on the Senate, to rewrite 1867 as 1776. What we see in Harper’s failure of leadership today is Harper’s choice to deny responsibility for his appointments to the Senate and choice of chief of staff, to deflect responsibility onto the Senate itself and onto individuals – others – who he says should be held accountable and away from himself and his party. Harper is saying such individuals should leave his party and caucus. Instead of accepting responsibility for his ethical and leadership failures, Harper chooses to exploit the moment to advance the divisive “new Conservative” Reform Party agenda and policy directions. Harper needs to be held accountable and to pay the political price, which ranks with his conduct in the 2008 prorogation crisis he originated, in calling for his resignation and a new ministry formed. Brian Marlatt, White Rock

Get a handle on flagrant ads Editor: With spring in full play and summer-vacation plans in mind, it occurred to me there’s one very unsafe advertising practice that jeopardizes our plans to safeguard our homes when we’re away. You see, most houses have mail slots or mailboxes that keep any buildup of mail away from prying eyes. In the event of an extended vacation, we can have someone collect the mail or have it redirected. And newspaper deliveries can be turned off, so they don’t build up on your step, alerting burglars to an absent owner. What cannot be turned off is a door-hanger ad. These are hung on your doorknob with no regard to whether you want one or not. Anyone can see that it’s been there for a few days, so you must be away. I guess if advertisers can litter a parking lot with ads stuck under your windshield wiper, they can hang something on your doorknob. Out of principle, I tend to not patronize businesses who advertise in these

ways, but that’s not for everyone. I suggest if you know a neighbour is away, kindly remove these doorhanger ads from their doorknobs. I’m sure they’d do it for you. Bryn Taylor, White Rock

Today, it is not a government that writes laws, but the courts, with the tone of “we need to be kind” philosophy. Sympathy is offered for the offender over the victim. Being willing to listen accomplishes nothing; action is needed. Suan H. Booiman, White Rock

Editor: Re: Crime and punishment, May 16 letters.

Letter-writer R. Kile argues that killing murderers with electric chairs will reduce the number of murders. In fact, statistics for every year between 1991 and 2011 showed that states in the U.S. without the death penalty had between seven per cent and 46 per cent lower murder rates than those that still have it – source: www.deathpenaltyinfo.org In the U.K., with no death penalty, murders are significantly lower than in the United States. Those who need to express their opinions on this very complex matter need to do their homework and educate themselves on the topic first. Peter Davies, Surrey

BC Liberal candidates celebrate in Surrey on election night, May 14, after voters rewarded their party with 50 seats.

Aftermath of a provincial election Editor: Re: Hunt elects to do both jobs, May 21. I opened my mailbox yesterday to retrieve my copy of the Peace Arch News and, turning to the second page, I saw an article on Marvin Hunt, our newly elected Liberal MLA for Surrey-Panorama. The story went on to describe how Hunt will not resign his Surrey councillor position, but retain it – along with his MLA post – as he thinks that he can do both jobs. Not only is this disgraceful, but it is costing the taxpayer twice to enrich one politician. Even if he donates all of his councillor salary to charity, he will still benefit from the tax deduction. In short, there will be a continuing cost to Surrey taxpayers, so Hunt can benefit from a tax shelter. This is a mockery of the political system. To make matters worse, Mayor Dianne Watts is supporting this. The weak rationale – that this action is saving the taxpayers money by avoiding the cost of a byelection – is unacceptable. Where have we heard the “savings the taxpayers money” line recently? At a time of political scandal across the nation, this is a matter of very poor judgment on the part of Hunt/Watts. J. Conley, Surrey n Re: Polarized politics a costly system, May 21. Tom Fletcher’s recent column celebrated several so-called savings that have resulted from avoiding an NDP victory in the last election. His first savings is in the massive severance payments, since most deputy ministers and senior staff would have been dumped because of their obvious loyalties to their political masters. There should be no payments for these positions; they are known as political rewards and they are hugely overpaid – $200,000-plus per year – while employed. Most people who get fired don’t get severance payments of this magnitude except for other overpaid ‘executives’ – another pampered group that makes its own rules. Fletcher obviously thinks BC Ferries should be a forprofit corporation, although this has never stopped this ‘independent’ company from paying its CEO a million dollars per year. A similar scam is extended to all the

other friends of BC Liberals, who are rewarded with huge payments for running other Crown corporations. The promise to investigate the BC Rail scandal was not about paying elite lawyers but to find out why former premier Gordon Campbell’s pals were given a B.C. asset at knockdown prices. There would be no need for an inquiry if this gem had been kept as a public asset. Fletcher continues to beat his run-of-river drum even though this deal – to more pals – should never have been created in the first place. Anyone who thinks BC Liberal MLAs will act as seniors’ advocates is still drinking his Fraser Institute Kool-Aid. One of the most negative results of the election is that we will have to put up with another four years of excuses from Fletcher, who continues to act as local spokesman for the BC Liberal party; perhaps at the next election he can take off his disguise and run for Christy openly. Herb Spencer, Surrey n Re: Signs aplenty of something amiss, May 16 letters. Political signage gives me a headache! As I was driving down the street, I passed a political candidate’s sign and thought, “Hey, I should vote for that candidate!” Then I passed a sign promoting a different candidate and thought, “No, I should really vote for that candidate!” Then I passed a third sign and I thought, “No, that candidate deserves my vote!” I was so confused trying to decide which candidate to vote for – based, of course, on how many signs I saw from each candidate – I got a headache. Do political parties and candidates really think we are so stupid and easily influenced as to be swayed by all that visual pollution? And let’s not forget what happens to most of the signage material; it all ends up in the landfill. When I see a sign on private property, I assume the owner supports that candidate. Signs on public property tell me the candidate couldn’t convince anybody to host them. Then again, just because my neighbour supports a particular candidate or party, it doesn’t mean I should. So, all in all, the fewer signs I see for a particular candidate, the more likely I am to vote for that candidate. Jerry Steinberg, Surrey

Surrey vying to host 2015 BC Seniors Games The City of Surrey is vying to host the 2015 BC Seniors Games as a way to boost “economic activity… and create lasting sport and community legacies.” According to a release from the city, the event could provide an economic boost. “Hosting the BC Seniors Games would be a great opportunity to showcase our city as a leader in

sport hosting. It will encourage active living for our seniors, and provide many social, economic and sport development opportunities for our community,” says Mayor Dianne Watts. Surrey last hosted the BC Seniors Games in 2001, and since then, has hosted a number of high-profile sporting events, including the 2012 BC Summer

Games. Earlier this year, it was also announced that Surrey had been selected by Softball Canada as the Canadian bid city for the 2016 International Softball Federation Women’s World Championship. “Surrey has demonstrated the ability to organize outstanding major sporting events, and we are well-positioned

to host the event because of the expertise that was developed through hosting the BC Summer Games this past July,” says Coun.

Morgan Crossing White Spot is doing its part for the upcoming White Rock Relay For Life, the Canadian Cancer Society fundraiser for cancer research (June 18). In an advance event this Thursday (May 30), from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., all servers at the restaurant will be donating their tips to the Relay For Life. Manager Guy Dorchester said both managers and staff will be serving food throughout the day, and local comedy magician Rod Boss will be entertaining guests from noon to 2 p.m. and again from 5 to 8 p.m. “We’re going to have fun and support the community for the day,” said Dorchester. “We’re always eager to support local charity events and feel it is important to give back and show support for the community.”

But he acknowledges there’s also a very personal angle to the Morgan Crossing restaurant’s involvement – his own brother, Eric, 21, has been battling cancer for more than two years. Eric, an Earl Marriott grad, was diagnosed at age 18 with osteosarcoma – “the same thing that Terry Fox had.” “He spent both his 19th and 21st birthdays in hospital.” He had to have a leg amputated a year ago, but has since received a prosthetic and has resumed his active lifestyle. “For me, my brother is what hits home hardest,” Dorchester said. That has only increased his determination to make Thursday’s event a success, he said. The staff have been organized into five competing teams in an effort to raise as much money as possible for the relay, where the restaurant will also supply food for all volunteers.

Provincial smoke-alarm program saving lives Kevin Diakiw Black Press

At least a dozen people in B.C. are alive today thanks to a novel program with a goal of getting smoke alarms in every home. The results of the first year of the B.C. Smoke Alarm Movement have just been released, and they show a drop in fire fatalities last year of 44.4 per cent, or 12 people, as well as a marginal decrease in the number of fires. In 2008, a similar program was launched by the City of Surrey that saw fire fatalities drop by 40 per cent during the three-year pilot. That initiative was launched after Surrey’s fire chief visited the U.K. where a similar scheme was under-

way. A subsequent study by the University of the Fraser Valley showed twothirds of the residential fires in this province occur in buildings without a functioning smoke alarm. It also points out “smoke alarms don’t remain functional forever,” and that a continuous campaign would be necessary to affect meaningful change. The provincial program was launched in March 2012, and included several private partners including Black Press. During the last year, the initiative saw more than 21,000 new smoke alarms installed in high-risk homes provincewide. They included homes with young

children or older adults, people with disabilities, low-income families, and in particular, First Nations communities. “They (aboriginals) show a 2.8 times greater likelihood of dying in a fire than the rest of the population,” said Surrey fire Chief Len Garis. After an education campaign and the installation of the smoke alarms, the province saw a 5.1-per-cent decrease in fires along with the huge drop in deaths. Garis, president of the B.C. Fire Chiefs Association, had high hopes for the program but said even this exceeded his expectations. “I was hopeful that we would make a difference in Surrey, based on what I saw in the U.K. and the research

Motor vehicle infractions rise

Property crimes up in White Rock Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock’s firstquarter crime stats are in, with noticeable jumps in property crimes and motorvehicle infractions over the same period last year. In the first three months of 2013, White Rock logged 202 property crimes, up from 155 in the first three months of 2012. The offences included thefts from motor vehicles (55, up from 44 in 2012), theftunder-$5,000 (19), residential break-andenters (20, up from 15 in 2012) and business

break-and-enters (eight, down from 20). Violent crimes were down slightly, at 28, compared to 30 in the same period last year. The crimes so far this year include 15 assaults (including one sexual) and two robberies. On the roads, White rock officers dealt with 42 impaired drivers (drugs and/ or alcohol), up from 25 in the same period last year, and handed out tickets for 46 intersection infractions (up from 24), 45 seatbelt infractions (up from 44) and 45 speed infractions (up from 28).

that was done,” Garis said. He noted that while the group reached a 44.4-per-cent reduction in fatalities, statistics indicate getting more than 50 per cent is not likely. “Statistically with sprinklers and smoke alarms, you’re not going to get zero (fatalities),” Garis said. The best that could be achieved is to cut the number of deaths in half. “And we’re almost there,” he said. He noted that to be successful, the program needs a continued and sustained push. “This win is fragile, and it runs the risk of returning if we don’t mainContributed graphic tain it,” Garis said.

Two White Rock veterans share their stories of combat in book

anding on the beach of Normandy on June 6, 1944, Walter Uden looked at the tide coming in, the water, now stained red with the blood of his fellow soldiers, served as an ominous warning about what lay ahead. Nazis. “We were the first on the beaches,” the longtime South Surrey resident said. “When we landed, the troops started coming in off the boats and the Germans had the machine guns and were shooting the soldiers. Blood was just pouring into the ocean and it stayed there for about three weeks. “The tide went out and came back in and it was still red.” Born in Lambeth, London on Sept. 22, 1922, Uden joined the British army at the age of 18 to fight in the Second World War. As part of the Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers ❝When we landed...

and in June 1943, he and his crew were moved to a village outside of Portsmouth, located in Hampshire on the southeast coast of England. A year later, when the call came in and troops were sent out to the beaches of Normandy, many believed it was practice, Uden said. That was, until the bombs and shells began to rain from the sky. Despite the treacherous waters, a high tide helped Uden’s landing craft make it over the defences, where they waited for a landing craft to come in. Once it arrived, the team unloaded their vehicles and ripped out the waterproofing to prepare for action. All the while, Nazis were shooting at the men. Remembering his time at one of the most epic and pivotal battles in the Second World War, Uden can recall details as if it was only days ago, despite celebrating his 91st birthday last year. In order to keep the story alive, friend and fellow veteran Bill Sexsmith submitted

Peninsula’s ‘walking lady’ celebrates 100 years Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

In the days leading up to her 100th birthday, South Surrey’s Betty Nebel knew exactly what she wanted. “Less aches and pains,” she laughed, while enjoying afternoon tea with close friend Jillian Leakey last week. Saturday, the English-born centenarian celebrated the milestone with loved ones, including Leakey, who noted Nebel is in no way slowing down. “You always feel young inside,” she said. “She was known as the walking lady up until five years ago. She was always charging up and down Johnston Road.” Nebel has been active all her life,

whether it was playing tennis, badminton or lawn bowling. She fondly remembered receiving her first tennis racket from her sister Dorothy while a teenager in England. “That was my passion. My sister was the brains and I was the braun,” she said. “My sister bought me my first racket. I played for years.” For most of her life, Nebel could be found playing on various courts, often placing in a number of championship games. Trophies from her playing days in England and Canada are stored away in a closet. “They need to be polished,” she noted. Following the end of the Second World War, Nebel, her husband, Jim,

and three-year-old son, Graham, moved to Saltair on Vancouver Island in 1967 with her father-in-law, where they lived for most of their lives. While she admitted there wasn’t many places to play tennis, she still holds many fond memories of the small community. “That is home for me,” Nebel said. “I want my ashes to be scattered there.” When she was 90, Nebel moved to South Surrey and into Whitecliff Retirement Residence in order to be closer to family, including her two grandsons, Colin and Kevin, and to the water. “Back then, she was still on the Island and all her family was over here,” Leakey said. “And she wanted to Sarah Massah photo be by the water. She loves the water.” Betty Nebel celebrated her 100th birthday on Saturday.

The 26Th annual BC ChilDren’s hOsPiTal’s MiraCle WeekenD

BC Children’s Hospital helps kids get care closer to home BC Children’s Hospital has played a big role in Kaitlyn Morovic’s life. The three-yearold was born with Down syndrome and two holes in her heart, and spent the first six weeks of her life in the hospital. Her mother Heather still raves about the care Kaitlyn receives at Children’s while also celebrating the fact that she now has what she calls her “direct link” to BC Children’s in the form of Richmond-based pediatrician Dr. Erik Swartz. “Dr. Swartz has expertise in Kaitlyn’s condition and everything that’s secondary to it,” Morovic says. “Although Children’s is just 20 minutes away, it’s great to be able to get an appointment quickly with Dr. Swartz, and he’s just a few minutes from home.” Swartz works in the General Pediatrics Clinic, which is part of the Child Health Centre at Richmond Hospital. The Child Health Centre was established with $800,000 in support from Child Health BC, an initiative of BC Children’s Hospital aimed at ensuring all children in BC have access to a consistent standard of care no matter where in the province they live. The centre is also home to the Early Childhood Mental Health Program and the Noakes Primary Care Maternity Clinic. “The fact that Kaitlyn is able to receive specialized care so close to home is exactly

what we’re looking for,” says Dr. Maureen O’Donnell, executive director of Child Health BC. Child Health BC’s activities took off after Overwaitea Food Group became the lead benefactor with a pledge of $20 million in support in 2007. TELUS and Scotiabank later made gifts of $5 million and $1 million, respectively. This support had an immediate impact, says O’Donnell. Pediatric clinics established with Child Health BC’s support in Nanaimo and Prince George have thousands of patient visits annually; additional travelling clinics are staffed by BC Children’s caregivers in communities across the province; and over 1,000 health professionals have participated in Child Health BC’s workshops. O’Donnell credits Overwaitea Food Group’s donation with Child Health BC’s growing reach across the province, noting that it’s a perfect fit for an organization with a presence in so many BC communities. Overwaitea Food Group President Darrell Jones agrees. “We’re committed to the health and wellness of kids and families in BC,” says Jones. “We’ve been proud to support BC Children’s Hospital for more than two decades – and with the help of our communities, we’ve contributed millions of dollars toward hospital improvement projects,

advocacy programs and important research initiatives. We’re grateful for the amazing support of our local communities, team members, customers and supplier partners who have all played a key role in making this fundraising success possible.” Child Health BC is part of a larger transformation in the way BC’s children receive care, says Larry Gold, president of BC Children’s Hospital and Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children. The transformation also includes the construction of a new BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. “We want to ensure children have access to a consistent standard of care, whether they live in Smithers, Campbell River or Castlegar; and there will always be children who need care that’s only available in a children’s hospital,” says Gold. BC Children’s Hospital Foundation has raised close to $170 million, including Overwaitea Food Group’s gift and $25 million from Teck Resources Limited, in its $200-million capital campaign to support construction of the new hospital and Child Health BC. Gold says that the new hospital, which will open in 2018, will be family-friendly, making it easier for families from outside the Lower Mainland to remain with their children. Beyond the money being raised for the new hospital and Child Health BC, Gold says the hospital also counts on donations of about $14 million a year to support research, equipment purchases and training. On June 1 and 2 BC Children’s Hospital Foundation will hold its annual Miracle Weekend celebration on Global BC, to raise the millions the hospital needs to cover its urgent annual needs. “Every year people from across the province make donations in support of the hospital and it makes a huge difference,” says Gold. “Kaitlyn Morovic is proof of that.” Heather Morovic says she’s grateful for both the care Kaitlyn receives at BC Children’s and the support she gets on a regular basis from Dr. Swartz. “He just gets it,” she says. “And Kaitlyn is doing fantastic. She’s walking and trying hard to talk, and she certainly knows how to pull on the heart strings. With BC Children’s and Dr. Swartz on our side, we couldn’t ask for a better support team.”

BC Children’s Hospital treated over 81,000 children last year. Approximately 67 per cent of those children came from outside the City of Vancouver.

JUNE 1 & 2, 2013 On June 1 and 2, tune in to Miracle Weekend, broadcast live from BC Children’s Hospital, on Global BC from 7:00pm on Saturday, June 1 until 5:30pm on Sunday, June 2 The 26th annual BC Children’s Hospital’s Miracle Weekend is a two-day celebration that showcases the best of BC Children’s Hospital: patients, their families, caregivers and supporters who come from every corner of BC. BC Children’s Hospital receives over 200,000 visits from patients from across the province every year. Donations help the hospital deliver the best in care every day, and are helping to prepare for the future by supporting the construction of a new BC Children’s Hospital and better access to care for children in or close to their home communities. Please support BC Children’s Hospital.

At the Overwaitea Food Group, we’re very proud of our longstanding commitment to investing in the health of kids and their families. We’re grateful to everyone who supports us in this effort. Our team members, customers and suppliers have all played a key role in our fundraising success over the years. We’ve been supporting BC Children’s Hospital for more than two decades, and we’ve raised millions of dollars in support of capital improvement projects, important research initiatives and advocacy programs designed to help keep our kids safe by reducing preventable injuries. In 2007, we made a $20 million pledge to support Child Health BC, an initiative of BC Children’s Hospital that helps get kids in BC get the care they need, closer to home. Since then, we’ve raised more than $10.7 million toward our goal, and Child Health BC has been able to put this concept into action in a number of communities throughout BC. We are grateful for the amazing commitment and fund raising efforts driven by OFG team members who encourage the generosity of our customers and suppliers.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

No. 3-ranked Earl Marriott in quarter-finals Wednesday

Mariners win big in first round Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

nly one of three Semiahmoo Peninsula teams emerged unscathed from the first round of B.C. High School Senior Boys AAA Rugby Championships last weekend. The Earl Marriott Mariners – ranked No. 3 in the province heading into the tournament – coasted to victory with relative ease, defeating No. 14-seeded Cowichan, 71-5 at Brentwood College (Mill Bay) on Vancouver Island on Satellite Saturday, the aptly named first round in which games are staged at sites throughout B.C. Subsequent rounds now move to Abbotsford’s Exhibition Park. Next up for the Mariners is a quarter-final date Wednesday with the No. 6-ranked Robert Bateman Timberwolves, who defeated EMS the last time the two sides faced off. And while the team is currently riding high, Marriott head coach Adam Roberts said Monday he was preaching caution to his troops, lest they start taking their competition too lightly. “The boys are very much looking forward to quarter-finals,” Roberts said. “(But) we cannot be complacent. We need everyone to step up and raise their own game to reach the next level. I’m excited for what lies ahead, and it’s time for the boys to step up. This is where champions come to play.” Their recent loss to Bateman – whom the Mariners beat in last year’s Fraser Valley finals – is still fresh in their minds, added Roberts, who called Wednesday’s tilt “a game of redemption.” Among the Mariners’ many try-scorers in Saturday’s high-scoring game was Colton Killoran, while Isaac Maslin also had one, plus two conversions. Colin Stonier was also impressive kicking the ball, completing seven of nine conversion attempts. But while the Mariners cruised to their first win at the senior boys’ tourney, both the Elgin Park Orcas and Semiahmoo Totems were not as lucky. Both teams, by virtue of their bottom seed-

Unlike recent years, in which at least one first-round upset by a lower-seeded team was almost a guarantee – there have been five such first-round contests since 2010 – this year’s opening slate featured no surprises; the top eight teams all advanced to the second round. “We knew it was going to be very tough game, and we basically knew what was going to happen,” said Elgin Park coach Tom Myring. And though the loss stung, Myring said it did little to knock his team’s confidence, or

excitement at being back at provincials for the first time since 2008. “It’s been a long time,” Myring said. “The guys are excited. We’re just going to keep working hard. “That’s the thing about this team – they play with a lot of heart, and they never give up. That’s how they played (Saturday). “Shawnigan came out hard early, but we had a couple goal-line stands, and played good defence at times. They never gave up.” Outside-centre Dax Moir had the lone try for Elgin Park on Saturday. Both the Orcas and Totems still have three games remaining, and can finish as high as ninth in the 16-team tournament, if they win all remaining games. Myring said the goal is to finish higher than they started the week.

“Finishing in the top 10 would be great, obviously, but if we can finish better than (15th), that’s the goal,” he said. “We just have to keep working on our defence. We are pretty sound on offence – we have some pretty quick backs – but if we can play good defensively, I think we can put up some points.” Next up for the Orcas is a second-round game Wednesday against Courtenay’s G.P. Vanier Towheees, who entered provincials ranked 10th. They lost Saturday to No. 7 West Vancouver, 39-7. The game kicks off at 2 p.m. Semiahmoo, meanwhile, will face off Wednesday against No. 9 Carson Graham, historically one of the province’s powerhouse squads; they lost to Shawnigan in last year’s championship game, and won it all in 2008.

Marriott’s golf team sets sights on provincial title Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Earl Marriott Mariners senior golf team is on Vancouver Island this week, where they’ll take a shot at bringing a provincial banner back to the Semiahmoo Peninsula.

Figueira figures the course, and the competition, will be tough. “We have been strategizing and doing our homework on the course. It’s a very demanding course off the tee, so if you get in trouble off the tee, it’s very

difficult,” he said. And though his team will not have the experience playing Crown Isle that other teams, like Courtenay’s Mark Isfeld Secondary, have, he is confident in his group. “Oak Bay, Mark Isfeld and Vancouver College will all be tough teams to beat, but I feel we can match up against any of them if we play smart, team golf,” Figueira said.

clutch goals, too – four of his six goals were game-winners, and he also scored a key goal in the team’s Western Canada Cup championship win over the Brooks Bandits. Both Klimek and Hannoun will get a second crack at the RBC Cup next season, as Vernon is set to host the tournament. “Any time you have the opportunity to acquire players of this calibre you have to entertain it,” said Vernon Vipers head coach/ GM Jason Williamson. “Moving Adam and Michael were not easy decisions… however, we believed it gave us an opportunity to add some depth and some very good talent to our lineup during a very important season for us. “The experience gained by both Jordan and Demico during Surrey’s recent and successful playoff run will be very valuable to our group moving forward.” Kilistoff, who, like Klimek, is a Langley native, will suit up for his hometown team next year. He had 17 points in 52 BCHL games this season, and scored one of Surrey’s biggest goals in the playoffs – the overtime winner in Game 5 of the BCHL Fred Page Cup finals against Penticton, which gave Surrey a 3-2 series lead.

Volleyball club wins multiple medals

Seaside scores national titles It’s been a good few weeks for the Seaside Volleyball Club. Over the last month, the Peninsula-based youth club has won four national championships, most recently in Calgary and Regina. On May 18-19 in Calgary, the club’s U16 Storm side won a Division 3 national title after a championshipgame victory over the Medicine Hat Rattlers, while the U16 Surf, claimed bronze in Division 1. Meanwhile, in Regina, another Seaside team – the U15 Surf – won gold in their Division 1 Tier 3 tournament, while the club’s U16 boys team placed fifth overall at the event. The national medal haul comes just a few weeks after two Seaside U14 clubs won gold medals at nationals in Abbotsford. The Seaside U14 Wahine were crowned national west champs – placing first out of 68 teams – after going 9-0 at the event, which featured teams from Alberta, Ontario, Manitoba and B.C. and was held at Tradex

in Abby. Another U14 side, Seaside Moana, won gold in girls division 3, defeating Abbotsford’s Altruista in the final, while Seaside’s U15 boys team – who stood out by

wearing bright pink socks in support of their coach’s wife, who is battling cancer – nabbed a bronze medal in their national event, also held at Tradex. – Nick Greenizan

OBITUARIES

Nina Olive Maclennan (nee Barry) died at home on May 17 at the age of ninety-seven. She was briefly hospitalized before deciding she wanted to come home for palliative care. She refused all tests and treatments in the hospital and at one point said, “When the patient says no, salesmanship begins.” She was truly happy coming home and gave a triumphant fist pump as she was wheeled through the door. She passed peacefully in the house she loved overlooking the sea in White Rock, BC. Born in London, England, one of seven children, she immigrated to Canada after WW11 to marry a dashing Canadian Spitfire pilot she met during the war. She flourished in Canada, raising two children and writing. She was always proud to have had her stories broadcast on CBC radio. Her loving and witty cards and letters to family and friends were treasured. Nina had strong views: she loved Shakespeare, Alice Munro and other great writers - but had no time for Milton or Mailer. Her greatest legacy, however, is that she gave her whole heart to those she loved. Sometimes her black Irish humour showed. Knowing of her impending death, she asked her daughter Joss to "Look up in that thing of yours (an IPad) which king said he was taking ‘an unconscionable time dying; but he hoped that they would excuse it.’ ". (It was Charles II). As familiar with the Bible as with Shakespeare, Nina loved the line from the Psalms, "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning". And she stood by that thought, arising each morning with great happiness and expectations, and going to bed grateful for the day. She is mourned by her husband of 67 years, Ian, her daughter Joss, son Bruce and daughter-in-law Lorna, grandchildren Sam and Ellie, special friend Beta, many nieces, nephews in Canada, the US and the UK, brother Frank Barry, sister-inlaw Pat Barry, sister-in-law Kay Maclennan, many nieces and nephews, and the friends she made everywhere. Memorial services in White Rock and Toronto will take place at a future date. If you wish to be notified of the dates please contact bswift@centuryservices.com.

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Alison Claire Bennett (nee Fuller) at age 50 on May 20, 2013 after a long brave battle with ALS. She leaves behind her devoted husband of 26 years, Dave; sons Scott and Ian; parents David and Margaret Fuller of Courtenay; brother Mark Fuller (Rhonda) of Vancouver; parents-in-law Tony and Elaine Bennett of Victoria; brother-in-law Bruce Bennett (Randi) of Whitehorse ; brother-in-law Michael Bennett (Jacqui) of Victoria; sister-in-law Jennifer Gill (Chris) of Victoria; nieces and nephews Nicola, Kevin, Seth, Kalie, Jason and James, and many other loving relatives and friends. Alison was born and raised in Victoria, received her teaching degree from UVIC in 1985, and went on to work in Calgary, Vancouver, Victoria, and most recently at Laronde Elementary in Surrey. She was passionate about her job as the music teacher at Laronde, and took great delight in her students and directing their musical productions. Generous and fun-loving, Alison also had a strong sense of community. Among other projects, she was instrumental in the construction of a playground in Vancouver’s Clinton Park, and in many fundraising efforts for the ALS society. Over the years she spent many happy holidays with family on Hornby Island and Wise Island. She enjoyed traveling and loved taking family photos while visiting friends and relatives in the UK, the Bahamas and every corner of North America. Naturally athletic, she loved to “run the ravine” in White Rock with her good friends. She was also an avid gardener with a green thumb who loved flowers outside and inside her home. She liked to see musical theatre, tennis matches, and was a constant presence at her sons’ activities, including their musical performances and hockey games. The main focus of Alison’s life was her family, and no mother was ever more proud of her children than Alison was of her sons Scott and Ian. Her family would like to thank Amanda Myring (Nick), Alison’s circle of friends who gave their unwavering support, and her many dedicated caregivers. They gave her the independence she craved and the highest quality of life that was possible in her final years. A service celebrating Alison’s life will be held at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre, 14831 28th Ave, Surrey on Saturday, June 8th at 1:00pm. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the ALS Society of BC. www.alsbc.ca Condolences may be offered at www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca

ARIES

LIBRA

Aries, you don't always have the answers when it comes to your romantic relationship, but that's alright. There are no rule books for this type of thing; you learn as you go.

Libra, this week you need to be extra cautious if you are in the middle of any business dealings. All it can take is the slightest misstep to turn everything around.

TAURUS Taurus, your life has been relatively tranquil. However, you have been itching to do something fun and adventurous to turn things around. This could be the week for that.

GEMINI

Sagittarius, you are seldom soft spoken, but this week you may have to be even more assertive to get your point across. Otherwise your opinions might fall on deaf ears.

CANCER

CAPRICORN

Cancer, things have calmed down considerably in your life. This week presents a good opportunity to take a trip that is geared entirely around your interests.

Try to get outside as much as possible this week, Capricorn. The fresh air and sunshine can do wonders for your mood. Plus, you can get in some exercise.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Creditors and others having claims against the ESTATE OF ANNIE BERNA VIKTORIA FERRIS aka BERNA FERRIS aka BERNA VIKTORIA FERRIS aka A. BERNA FERRIS, formerly of 15441 - 16th Avenue, Surrey, B.C., Deceased, are hereby required to send the particulars thereof to the undersigned Executor, BMO TRUST COMPANY, 595 Burrard St., 9th Floor, PO Box 49500 Vancouver British Columbia, V7X 1L7, Attention Christie Matsalla on or before June 26, 2013, after which date the estate’s assets will be distributed, having regard only to the claims that have been received.

LEO

AQUARIUS

Leo, remain modest about your personal and professional accomplishments this week. Now is not the time to show off. Be humble in your conversations.

Do not follow the examples of others when they act irrationally to a certain situation, Aquarius. Although it can be difficult, you need to take the high road.

BMO TRUST COMPANY, Executor

Virgo, as inviting as a situation may look, appearances can be deceiving. You may want to dip your toe into the water before you dive right into something.

NOTICE TO CREDITORS & OTHERS

VIRGO

PISCES

Take a chance and express all of your goals and hopes this week, Pisces. Others may be surprised at what you have to say.

Scorpio, things beyond your control may be contributing to sour feelings this week. Look at the bright side of any situation and you can probably find a solution that works.

You may find that one of your coworkers is more critical of your work than usual, Gemini. Don't take it the wrong way, as constructive criticism can be a good thing.

The fastest growing trend on the market is vinyl planking. It is stylish, durable for high traffic areas and works well in homes that get a lot of sunlight. It has the look of wood without all the maintenance.

Another very popular choice is dura ceramic tiles which are essentially a limestone base tile with a vinyl wear layer. It provides the look of ceramic tile but is warmer and softer. A great choice for a bathroom or kitchen.
