‘Quality of life’ touted by chamber of commerce, after board of trade supports ‘economic argument’
Business groups divided on coal trains Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Cliff Annable
Anita Huberman
The South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce is taking a stance against a controversial new coal-export terminal proposed by Fraser Surrey Docks – and particularly the increase in coal-train traffic through White Rock and South Surrey that would result. Chamber executive director Cliff Annable told Peace Arch News Wednesday that the result of board deliberations this week is that the organi-
zation is not supporting the coal terminal. “The point of view of the board is that we don’t want the (additional) coal trains through White Rock and South Surrey,” Annable said, adding the board had “discussed this at length.” He noted the decision differs markedly from the Surrey Board of Trade’s position. Annable said he was surprised by remarks attributed to SBOT CEO Anita Huberman, who told Black Press: “We have to stop saying ‘no’ to everything, and that’s what I think is happening
sometimes in South Surrey.” The South Surrey & White Rock Chamber is not trying to be obstructionist, Annable said. “We don’t have a problem with Fraser Surrey Docks as a business – we’re a business organization,” he said. “But what goes with business is the quality of life.” Huberman had said last week that she had hoped the two business groups could have adopted a unified position by that point. › see page 4

Top Chef Canada contestant returns to his alma mater
Culinary-arts alumnus comes full circle Evan Seal Black Press
The last-remaining B.C.-based competitor on the Food Network’s Top Chef Canada returned to his Surrey roots this week to dish up some tasty tricks at his alma mater. Matthew Stowe, a Cloverdale native, was at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary Tuesday, helping students of the school’s culinary program prepare a sumptuous meal for Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts and members of council. “It was because of that start at Tweedsmuir
that I’m kind of where I am today,” Stowe said, praising the trades program that enabled him to land a job at the Hotel Vancouver and set him on his skyrocketing career path. “It’s like going full circle, starting where it all began,” he said. “I really wanted to work with the students… seeing the looks on these guys’ faces when they try the food and some products that they may not have had before.” Stowe, who lives in Clayton with his wife and son, has proven a viewer favourite on Top Chef Canada, which pulls in at least 1.8

million viewers every episode. Grade 12 culinary arts student Josh Hutton said he admires the 30-year-old’s accomplishments. Stowe left the Lower Mainland for New York at age 18, interned at a classic French restaurant, and now develops menu items for Cactus Club Café restaurants. Stowe said win-or-lose, he’s glad he did the Top Chef Canada challenge (the ending’s been taped, but he’s not talking). The experience, he said, has led to more opportunities to teach people of all ages about food and restaurants.
Bill Reid – known informally as ‘Mr. Surrey’ and unofficial ambassador for Cloverdale and executive director of its chamber of commerce – lost his battle with cancer Tuesday evening at age 78. Survived by wife Marion, Reid, who was named Surrey’s Good Citizen of the Year in April, had a 50-year involvement with Surrey, Delta and White Rock. His public service included serving as a Social Credit MLA for White Bill Reid Rock-South Surrey, minister of tourism and as a Delta alderman. Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman tweeted that Reid was “a friend, mentor, loyal supporter, sounding board, great dad and husband.” “His contributions to B.C. were special,” he added. “I miss him.” Gary Hollick, past-president of the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce, tweeted “Surrey lost one of its best last night. Rest in peace my good friend... you’ll be missed.” › see page 4

Rock residents to determine if they want to go in that direction. But past cases in B.C. indicate that major expenditures that go sideways often lead to municipal amalgamation. The most relevant recent case was in Abbotsford in the 1990s. The District of Abbotsford, which was a conservatively run organization, ran into some unexpected expenses within its water system, which largely used wells. It was the issue that led eventually to the uniting of Matsqui and Abbotsford under the Abbotsford name. Matsqui had a modern water system, with a supply from Norrish Creek in Mission, and had other infrastructure in place that made a merger logical. White Rock has less room to maneuver than Abbotsford did at that time. It has a very limited geographical base, a small commercial tax base and property taxes that are already quite high. Its options, in the case of a major unexpected expense, would be quite limited. I see no movement in Surrey to have White Rock come back. But if the City of White Rock asked if that was an option, I’d be surprised if Surrey responded with a flat “no.” Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News.

Signs posted at Canada-U.S. crossings advise public of filming
Reality show draws new fire over privacy Jeff Nagel Black Press
Civil libertarians are warning cross-border shoppers and others visiting the U.S. to guard their privacy to avoid becoming guest stars in the controversial reality TV show Border Security. B.C. Civil Liberties Association executive director Josh Paterson said signs posted earlier this year at B.C. border crossings advised the public they may be filmed and by being there they consent to the use of their images in the show, now filming its second season. Border Security caused an uproar in March when the reality-TV crews filmed a raid by Canadian border security agents where
migrant workers were arrested and some later deported, despite privacy objections. The signs posted at Lower Mainland crossings were recently revised to say those who don’t consent will have their faces obscured, but must approach TV crews if they don’t want to be filmed at all. Paterson said it’s still “completely inappropriate” that people are filmed for the show at border crossings in Surrey and Abbotsford as well as Vancouver International Airport. “Making a for-entertainment, for-profit reality TV series is not the job of the Canada Border Security Agency,” Paterson said. He said crossing the border should be a private interaction between a citizen and
government, not with a “private third party camera crew floating around and interfering.” The civil liberties association has launched online forms border travellers can fill out to refuse to participate in the show and it aims to lodge another privacy complaint against the federal government over the show. CBSA has indicated the TV film crews will now only accompany agents on inland enforcement raids in cases of serious crime, not petty cases. Footage of the March migrants raid wasn’t used in the show. Paterson argues the TV show may film people here on refugee claims whose safety could then be in jeopardy if persecutors overseas learn their location.
Force Four Entertainment, the Vancouverbased production firm that films the show, denied it’s violated anyone’s rights. “With the exception of one convicted sex offender and two convicted drug traffickers, everyone featured in an identifiable manner in Border Security has given their verbal permission at the beginning of filming, and their written permission at end of filming,” the company said in a statement. “For added measure, signage is visible throughout all filming locations. Without exception, everyone in the background is blurred and unidentifiable. This has been true for every episode since the beginning of the series.”
REC for Kids targeted by thieves
Bikes, running shoes stolen from charity Sheila Reynolds Black Press
The office and storage area is typically filled with donated sports equipment. There are soccer balls, baseball gloves, bicycles, runners, hockey sticks, ice and inline skates, and more. And it’s all destined to be distributed to kids and teens who might not otherwise be able to afford such things. Sometime on the weekend, however, REC for Kids Society’s premises at 13379 68 Ave. was broken into. The doors were smashed in, windows broken, and several bikes and numerous pairs of larger-sized (11 and 12) running shoes were taken. A member of the volunteer-run society showed up Monday and discovered the theft and damage, which was also done to the group’s
cube van parked outside. Volunteer Ian Lagasse was aghast that someone would steal from a charity that helps kids. “I thought these guys were absolute low-lifes because these things would have gone to children,” he said. The society serves young people between the ages of three and 18. Recipients of the sports equipment are referred to REC by social services agencies, the school district or the RCMP. The sports equipment is donated to the group, which refurbishes and distributes it. Anyone with information about the break-in or the stolen items is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604599-0502. For more information about REC or to make a donation, phone 604598-0322.

Councillor’s performance questioned by colleague regarding hospital posting
Appointment swap leads to ‘awkward moment’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Reconsideration of a recent appointment by White Rock’s mayor caused noticeable tension at city hall Monday night. Wayne Baldwin last month had asked for support in appointing Coun. Louise Hutchinson as council liaison to the Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation, naming Coun. Helen Fathers as alternate. At the suggestion of Coun. Al Campbell, however, the order was reversed and Fathers was named liaison – a decision made while Hutchinson was away on holiday. Monday, after hearing from Hutchinson that the switch was “a problem,” Baldwin brought the item back for reconsideration, again with the recommendation that she be appointed liaison. In discussing the matter, Campbell was cut short when he noted his April 29 suggestion to name Fathers as liaison was based on concerns with Hutchinson’s track record. “My reason was performance,” Campbell said. “I’ve only known Coun. Hutchinson for 18 months. Louise has been gone for two onemonth periods. (I) just wasn’t comfortable
with the performance side of things.” “I’m not going to let you go there,” Baldwin interrupted, describing the discussion as an “awkward moment.” Neither Fathers nor Hutchinson spoke to the issue at the meeting. Both later told Peace Arch News they believed the mayor should have waited for all of council to be in attenLouise Hutchinson dance before bringing the matter forward. “We could’ve had a discussion about it. It would’ve been better to have done it a lot differently,” Fathers said Tuesday. “The mayor, he’s kind of decided, brought forward the recommendation and if you don’t agree with the recommendation, Helen Fathers it puts you in an adversarial position.” Hutchinson said Wednesday that Baldwin had talked to her about continuing in the
position before she left on holiday at the end “If somebody had talked to me about it of March.

End of photographer’s journey Evan Seal Black Press
Last week, Black Press lost a dear friend and longtime colleague with the passing of Ron West, who died suddenly at Surrey Memorial Hospital on May 22. West started his career at the Surrey Leader 23 years ago as a parttime photographer and darkroom technician, and became a regular contributor to Peace Arch News. Long before cellphone cameras and digital SLRs became commonplace, West would travel with his Minolta film camera and his scanner (a radio that monitored police and fire transmissions) while delivering newspapers at night and capture spot news events as they were happening.

Reid was not exempt from political cacophony – most notably when he became the centre of a 1989 media storm, while serving as tourism minister – but in
later years he was best known as an exemplary community booster through such initiatives as the BC Transportation Museum and the Cloverdale Antique Mall. For some time, Reid had been considered unofficial mayor of Cloverdale, but Surrey Coun. Linda Hepner said he was so much more than that. “Don’t forget, he was a great presence in South Surrey-White Rock too, and all around the border and cross-border trade,” Hepner said Wednesday.

uestion: When my parents became old and infirm, my younger bachelor brother quit his job and moved into the basement of their house. He lived there for years as my parents gradually became very ill and died. He virtually gave up having a life to look after our parents. I was very busy with my business and was not able to lend a hand, so when my parents died and left their whole estate to my brother, I didn’t complain because I thought it was fair. About three years after their death, he died. He left a will giving everything including my parent’s assets to the SPCA. I think I should be entitled some of that estate because nearly all of it came from my parents. Am I right? nswer: Nope. He is legally entitled to give it to whoever he wants. Brothers and sisters have no legal claim to an estate.

Harry Black played same numbers for 35 years
Two tickets win $31 million Sheila Reynolds Black Press
A month after the BC Lottery Corporation announced there were four winning tickets in last month’s $63.4-million Lotto 6/49 draw, a Surrey man has finally come forward. And he has not one, but two of the winning tickets, entitling him to half of the pot – more than $31.7 million. Harry Black, 66, was presented with two cheques of more than $15.8 million apiece on Tuesday. The part-time film industry worker and self-proclaimed workaholic said he wouldn’t quit his job but would likely take a vacation, which he’s never done. Then he plans to buy some land and build his dream house. He also plans to invest his winnings and share a significant portion with friends and family members. Black said he’s been playing the same numbers for 35 years, always buying two tickets. The winning tickets were purchased April 12 at the Chevron gas station on Scott Road and 104 Avenue. He said prior to these wins, he’d never won more than $10 at a time. When asked why he waited so long to claim his prize, he said winning the lotto was unbeliev-

Education cart before the horse
E
ducation was hardly a burning issue in the provincial election, leaving many educators, trustees and administrators – not to mention parents – scratching their heads. Cash-strapped school districts from Prince George to Surrey were expecting to hear something specific about a long-term vision for funding a 21st century education system. But whatever was in the political kit bags of the two party front-runners was lost in debates over who would handle the economy better. Meanwhile, districts across the province are slashing budgets to keep spending in line with funding. In Surrey, the problem has always been trying to keep funding in line with rapid growth in many parts of the city, including the south-end. But Surrey isn’t the only district scratching and clawing to make the system work with the funds available to it; few would argue that the education system is awash in cash. Rather, it is merely holding the line while expectations for smaller classes, support for special needs and help for children with learning disabilities, technology and other demands increase. So where was the talk about building a sustainable funding system for schools? Where was the leadership given last year’s labour unrest that resulted in many clubs and sporting events being cancelled? It was drowned out by political recriminations on both sides. Now though, Premier Christy Clark is re-floating an earlier trial balloon to seek a 10-year labour agreement with teachers. While it’s true that labour peace would surely benefit the education system, it’s hard to see how making the BCTF eat crow so soon after the election (many teachers thought they’d be dealing with a friendly NDP government) is going to bring this about. And because the issue hardly came up, it’s hard to argue the 10-year-deal is part of her mandate. For many, what’s needed first is a new, more equitable funding formula that doesn’t pit urban school districts against rural districts for scarce cash. Once a long-term vision for funding is revealed, then Premier Clark might be in a better position to work with teachers on the vaunted 10-year labour deal. But until then, all she’ll accomplish with rewriting the teachers’ labour contract is more instability in schools.

Does ‘economic benefit’ trump ‘environmental concerns’ when it comes to a new coal-export terminal in Surrey?
None of this really upsets me, of course. Usually, it serves as little more than an amusing anecdote to tell my wife, who, it should be noted, sometimes gets more upset about all this than I do. On one of our first dates, we ran into a co-worker of hers, and the usual pleasantries were exchanged. The following Monday back at the office, the co-worker tracked down my wife – who was born three months after me – to ask why she was dating someone so much younger than her. So yeah, I get it. And I get, too, that complaining about such things don’t gain me many sympathy points. After all, if I had a buck for every person who said, “You’ll appreciate it when you’re older,” I’d have enough money to hire someone to make liquor-store runs for me, so I wouldn’t be subjected to the constant ID-checking. Though it was at the liquor store recently when I realized this whole age thing should really be embraced. While buying a few bottles of wine, the cashier predictably asked to see my ID. “Holy s---!” he exclaimed, as he read the date-of-birth on the card. “Good for you, sir.” And besides, I’m not even the youngest person in my office anymore – far from it, in fact. So perhaps I have already reached that “old” age, where I’ve grown to appreciate my apparent youthful looks. But still, I felt like a few things needed clearing up. I am 32 years old. I’m not new.

Promenade to go too far Editor: Re: Bayview Park to get boost, May 23. Extending the promenade a few feet isn’t exactly ‘needed.’ What is needed in White Rock – which is exactly what we’ve had – is a small area where people can go that is off the path and that is a bit quieter than the rest of the beach. I have always enjoyed that end of the beach because the promenade does not go through there. People are able to enjoy the park without joggers, walkers and strollers parading through their picnic. Why must they always try to fix something that doesn’t need fixing? It would seem ‘progress’ equals loss of peace and quiet. What a shame. I’m going to miss our quiet, little park. Tamara Jenene, White Rock
Sparks not the only shock here Editor: Shocking discovery, May 21 letters. It was with great interest I read the letter from Glen Hopkins, regarding his family getting “shocked” while riding their bikes under the power lines in West Rosemary Heights. I contacted BC Hydro, as I walk that way and have had sparks flying off my umbrella on wet days, as well as have experienced prickles in my feet regardless of the weather. A neighbour reports getting prickles in her hand when picking up her dog’s waste under these power lines. BC Hydro’s response was that the area meets acceptable guidelines, and that some people just have more electricity in their bodies than others and that can result in more frequent shocks. I encourage others to contact BC Hydro to make a complaint, as perhaps we can get better resolution to this issue. I’d like to take this issue further. I’d like city council to take a step back from approving every available space in sight for housing, leaving just areas that are not able to be developed – such as under the power lines – as the only ‘green spaces’ for tens of thousands of people who live in the area. There are 550 homes being built near 34 Avenue at 152 Street, as well as another 44 proposed for 36 Avenue and 150 Street, and more, still, proposed for the vicinity around the new pedestrian bridge. Add this to the hundreds of townhomes being built on Croydon Drive, and even more in the Grandview Heights area. Please, let schools, hospital, roads, transit and green spaces catch up to the development that is already completed, before adding more. We had to wait seven years for a playground in our neighbourhood, yet housing developments certainly don’t take that long. Both elementary schools in the Rosemary Heights area have portables, and our catchment high school, Earl Marriott Secondary, is bursting at the seams
and, at this rate, will shortly have double the capacity it was built for. The roads are so congested, at times you wait for three lights to get from 34 Avenue to 32 Avenue. The entrance and exit on Highway 99 are so crowded that, in the afternoon rush hour, people are pulling over to the side of the freeway, as the light on 32 Avenue diversion road doesn’t allow enough cars to get through. And we have a green space that isn’t user-friendly, because you’re likely to get a shock when you do use it. I realize people need somewhere to live, and South Surrey is a great area. Just pace the development better and let the infrastructure catch up. Cindy Van Oosten, Surrey
I voted for Hogg not his leader Editor: Re: BC Liberals reject ‘hypothetical’ request, May 21. What a horrifying thought that Premier Christy Clark might be parachuted into our riding to replace MLA Gordon Hogg. Surely Hogg will not give up his seat for her. The only reason the BC Liberals got my vote this time around was because I could do nothing else but vote for the incumbent. My vote was for the person, not the leader. I would certainly vote if there were a byelection but not for Clark. For the first time in my life I might just spoil my ballot. Alison M. Smith, White Rock
Punishments ‘Review’ not an must fit crimes ‘investigation’ Editor: It is my opinion that these days we actually welcome having crime. In fact, we encourage it in some form or another. We look forward to hearing about it on the TV. After all, if it wasn’t there, how boring our lives would be. We would talk more about the weather, I suppose. Crime generally happens to other people and so, if it doesn’t affect us personally, we don’t really care about it and what effect it will have. We have police forces that we say we support, but we emasculate them when they do their jobs for us and are attacked by the bleeding hearts and so-called “civilized people” as overzealous and brutal. The media is good at doing this and the bad guys are winning slowly but surely. I believe actions have consequences, and all illegal actions should have punishments that suit the crimes. I believe the only innocents are children under age six. All citizens older than this are aware of the rules of society and which rules should not be broken. All should be aware of the consequences. I believe that where a life is taken willfully – premeditated homicide, terrorism, hijacking, armed robbery, treason – the death penalty is a suitable punishment for the crime. These scum do not deserve our sympathy and should not be allowed to carry on breathing. Any form of execution is acceptable to me. Ivan Scott, Surrey
Editor: Re: Olson unleashes countercomplaints, May 23. The Criminal Justice Branch is writing in response to an article regarding Janet Olson, under the sub-headline: “Accused dog-napper alleges Crown counsel and RCMP official negligent.” To clarify, there has been no “investigation” commenced by the Criminal Justice Branch with respect to Crown counsel’s involvement with Olson. Rather, deputy regional Crown counsel reviewed Olson’s complaints, which were made directly to the Crown counsel office, and found Crown counsel conducted themselves in accordance with Criminal Justice Branch policy and the Criminal Code. The branch has responded directly to Olson and her counsel of record, explaining the results of the review. Deputy regional Crown counsel found that the complaints were unsubstantiated. (Editor’s note: The article reported Olson issued a news release saying two prosecutors are under investigation, but that the Crown said a review found her complaint unsubstantiated.) As Olson’s matter is before the courts and subject to a publication ban, it would not be appropriate to comment further on any of the details that relate to the substance and conduct of that prosecution.

There’s more than enough space in the City of Surrey in which to care for its residents’ cats, writes Madelon Keij.
Don’t stray too far from humanity Editor: Re: Surrey cat rescuers forced to find a new home, May 14. With interest and sadness I read that the Surrey branch of the Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association will lose its quarters at 6706 152 Street. This rescue organization is doing a great job for the city, and if our mayor and councillors realize such, they should offer serious financial help or donate space to them. These rescued cats do not fall from the heavens. They are the product of the people of Surrey, who no longer choose to care for them as pets. Most are not spayed/ neutered and are allowed to breed indiscriminately. Cat-rescuers, like dog-rescuers, are a phenomenal help to a city; this really is a people problem, as usual. Last year, while visiting Buenos Aires, I was shown a
large park in a busy area, located in between two hightraffic roads. I was impressed to hear the city, recognizing the growing number of stray cats, donated the park to them, right in the city’s centre, so no predators. It was all fenced and hundred of cats live there, after having been rescued and sterilized. Food, shelter and water is provided by volunteers, residents and tourists alike, as many people find it a delight to walk in the park and see/feed the cats. While most are pretty wild, they are obviously enjoying life in a secure environment, being cared for and no longer breeding. That’s how it should be. An idea for Surrey, where there is plenty of green space? Mayor? Council? Surely this “City of Parks” could give up one park for these poor cats. Madelon Keij, Surrey

Surrey woman admits stabbing 17-year-old
Guilty plea in teen’s death Sheila Reynolds Black Press
Exactly three years after the incident, a Surrey woman has admitted that as a teenager, she stabbed another teen girl to death outside a Vancouver house party. Katey Renieta Gonzales was 18 in May 2010 when she was charged in the death of 17-year-old Angela Qui, also from Surrey. Gonzales was initially charged with second-degree murder but pleaded guilty to the lesser offence of manslaughter last week on the first day of what was to be her pretrial conference. Qui was found lying unconscious
on a sidewalk near Knight Street and East 51 Avenue at about 1 a.m. May 21 suffering from multiple stab wounds. Another 16-year-old was wounded during the incident but was treated in hospital and released. At the time, Vancouver Police said the two girls were stabbed after a fight broke out with another girl at a party in a basement suite nearby. Police said about 40 drunken teens were found in the rental home. Gonzales turned herself in to police the day after the stabbing. Her sentencing is scheduled for June 19 in Vancouver Supreme Court.

Teen’s testimony doubted as siblings had no knowledge of abuse
Judge clears stepfather Sheila Reynolds Black Press
A Surrey man has been cleared of charges he sexually abused his stepdaughter. On Monday afternoon, Judge James Sutherland acquitted the accused of four charges – sexual interference of a person under 16, sexual exploitation, sexual assault and assault. The man cannot be named as there is a publication ban on anything that could identify the stepdaughter. During the trial in February in Surrey Provincial Court, the complainant, who is now 14 years old, testified that her stepfather sexually abused her in the family home when she was between the ages of nine and 12. She claimed that he would touch her breasts and vagina when he
tucked her in bed at night and made her touch his penis on several occasions. The girl also said her stepdad punched her in the face in the fall of 2010. In his defence, the accused testified the incidents simply did not happen. He denied ever touching his stepdaughter sexually or hitting her, although he admitted he may have raised his voice or called her names when disciplining her. He testified that he wouldn’t even hug or kiss her at bedtime because “she wasn’t that type of kid.” The girl shared a bedroom with one sister, who never saw anything, and abuse the teen alleged took place in the living room would have been in plain sight of another sister in an adjoining room, the man said. Sutherland said the case came
down to whom he found more credible – the man or the girl. Although he felt the stepdad was evasive at times, there was nothing to cause him to doubt his testimony, the judge said. Sutherland said he had concerns about the teen’s reliability. He said the events she described were “violent and invasive and no doubt very dramatic,” often involving verbal exchanges, and yet her sisters, who were nearby, say they never witnessed any of it. The judge said there was a lack of evidence to confirm the allegations, leaving him with reasonable doubt and, by law, no choice but to acquit the accused. The girl’s family was visibly disappointed by the acquittal, while supporters of the man shed tears of relief outside the courtroom.

White Rock to replace recycling trucks The City of White Rock will spend more than $500,000 to replace its recycling trucks, council decided Monday. Council voted unanimously to approve the costs – which will total $509,328 – after receiving a report detailing that the two existing trucks are at the end of their life cycle. Coun. Al Campbell described the move as “very appropriate.” “Our recycling now is a big deal. For us to fall short would just put egg on our face,” he said. In his report, Greg St. Louis, the
city’s director of engineering and municipal operations, described ongoing mechanical issues with a 2003 Peterbilt that was scheduled for replacement in 2014; a second vehicle, a 1999 Freightliner FL70, was scheduled for replacement three years ago. Past practice has been to replace such vehicles every 11 years. The recycling trucks are used daily. In discussing the expense, Coun. Larry Robinson questioned if thought had been given to sub-contracting the service.
TEED GUARAUNLTS! RES
City manager Dan Bottrill said a review of the city’s solid-waste utility is scheduled for this year, however, he does not expect any change to residential recycling services. The majority of funding for the new trucks ($483,000) is to come from the existing capital budget, with the remainder from the capital contingency budget. The cost of outfitting the vehicles for service – with decals, radios, lights, etc. – is projected to be an additional $5,000. – Tracy Holmes

Two-year-old Addy Walker, born in the maternity ward at Peace Arch Hospital, and her parents are advocates of proper hand-washing, explained Fraser Health public affairs consultant Tasleem Juma. “Her parents strongly believe in and support good hand hygiene in the work place and the home,” Juma said. “They allowed their daughter to be photographed and be the face of good hand

Rev It Up program, and we are the only retirement home in Canada with Dakim Brain Fitness – computer games that keep seniors mentally sharp,” says Christopher Mis.
Events, excursions, demonstrations, concerts. And that’s just the morning.
Independent seniors at Revera – Whitecliff thrive on choice. At Revera, it’s a familiar refrain: “I should have come sooner – there’s so much to do!” Seniors who expect to find themselves bored at a retirement residence are surprised to find that, at Revera, they end up having fun – doing what they love. Full, rich lives
“It all centres on choice,” says Executive Director, Christopher Mis. “We have at least seven offerings per day, f ive days a week.” Whitecliff residents select independently between creative workshops; customized fitness classes in modern facilities; events like movie nights, shopping trips, gardening groups, excursions to
theatre, concerts, and museums; and educational seminars and lectures.
Six domains of wellness
Revera feeds people’s six needs for wellbeing: physical, social, intellectual, emotional, vocational, and spiritual. “ We tailor activities to residents’ preferences,” explains Christopher. “ We have a ‘conversation of favourites’ to learn their interests, look for emerging trends and then organize programs around those.”
Life—the way you shape it
Revera’s priority is to make resident experiences exceptional through a variety of programs and activities. “We promote physical, cognitive and nutritional wellness at Whitecliff through Revera’s
Fabulous food
Like all Revera kitchens, Whitecliff features top-quality ingredients, prepared fresh and served hot. “Fresh food tastes better and puts smiles on people’s faces,” says Gary McBlain, National Director of Culinary Services. Menus identify dishes with reduced salt, fat and sugar.
Amenities abound in a charming setting Whitecliff is a charming sea-side, fullservice retirement residence designed for comfort near White Rock Beach and Crescent Beach, the shops and restaurants of the boardwalks, two blocks from a shopping mall, bank and other amenities,
and across the street from Peace Arch Hospital. Residents love to gather in the tea house, fi reside lounge and lush patio gardens. Many of the spacious suites have a garden view and all independent suites have kitchenettes, spacious closets and private bathrooms. Residents love bringing in their own furniture and setting their place up the way they like it. Bonnie Hatfield adds, “Revera is full of active, independent people who like doing things for themselves. They pick the movies and parties they want, such as happy hour with cocktails and snacks. It’s all about understanding people’s needs.” Jayme Newton, Director of Recreation at Whitecliff, sums it up: “Here, recreation is simply a part of daily life – we make it fun to stay active and meet new friends. That’s the key to enjoying life!”

undreds of people enjoyed the sights and sounds of last week’s ninth-annual Surrey Children’s Festival at Bear Creek Park, 13750 88 Ave. This year’s three-day lineup of performers ranged from a preschool performance from Australia, Grug, and Alberta circus performers The Chairmen.
Medicine Bear was a dance theatre from Toronto, while Grand Dérangement got kids moving with Acadian music from Nova Scotia. The Spirit of Harriet Tubman from Ontario and a film from the U.K., The Itch of the Golden Nit, rounded out festival ticketed performances. Entrance to the festival site was free and included many community performances and art activities.

Longhouse renovation set for October
Makeover planned for Alex House An extreme makeover is in the works for Alexandra Neighbourhood House. Set for Oct. 18-20, the 72-hour effort – supported by Investors Group Financial Services – will focus on the Crescent Beach camp’s Longhouse facility. A fundraising campaign was launched May 15, with a goal of raising $300,000 for the cause. Alexandra Neighbourhood House (Camp Alexandra),

Community help is sought for the makeover, including donations of cash, materials and

His Royal Highness Prince Andrew, The Duke of York, was on hand at a ceremony at Government House in Victoria May 18 to hand out the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Gold Certificates to 100 youth from across B.C.
Award recipients from Surrey included Rowan Laird, Thomas Dolynuk, Julia Baum, Emma Attfield, Emma Cummings, Lindsay McJannett, Shelby Priest, Erik Hilmer, Evelyn Chua, Ashley Morin, Safeer Jivraj, Sabrina Damji and Alysha Damji. The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is an international award for participants ages 14 to 25.

There are three levels in which awards can be won: bronze, silver and gold. To earn the gold award, the youth had to complete five sections: volunteer service, a skill, physical recreation, an adventurous journey, and a residential project.

t is immobile as if frozen in time. It stands erect like a soldier in his sentry box. Its colourless and rigid branches defy the life it once possessed. I am afraid I have killed it. Sucked the life out of it… my once verdant topiary lilac tree. Today it still stands erect in mock salutation. Its stickman arms reach out as if to touch something or perhaps someone. It doesn’t move. I think it is mad at me, as I have stripped it of its leaves, its colour and its reason for existence. I give you water. Please don’t die on me. You remain unmoving and relentless in your ability to upset me.
Your withered, ashen and sticklike appendages extend in all directions. Are you looking forward to your dormant state? Will you resurrect to bring me joy once again? I yearn for your chaotic leafy presence. Don’t desert me now. We have come so far together. Take all the time you need. You know I’m going to miss you and talk about you when you’re gone. That was last winter… now it is spring and my verdant friend has returned and greeted me lovingly with his resurrection. The leaves are healthy and alive although there are no signs of lilac blooms. Nevertheless, I am overjoyed.
Today, I planted bright, cheerful geraniums under the spring sunshine, willing them to grow and flourish which I know they will. I have great plans for my patio pots and look forward to the glorious panorama of colour. I will get dirt under my fingernails as I water, plant and fertilize and admire my handiwork. Nature’s bounty on display for me to enjoy. It never ceases to amaze me what a miracle spring is. Every year, she graces us with her presence despite our human efforts to destroy the earth and give Mother Nature another challenge to overcome.

Kinder Morgan aiming to avoid homes, use existing corridors
Pipeline to take route from Surrey to Burnaby Jeff Nagel Black Press
Kinder Morgan Canada plans to stake out an almost all-new corridor for its second oil pipeline from Port Kells in Surrey to Burnaby to avoid digging through private property in densely populated neighbourhoods. Greg Toth, senior project director of the Trans Mountain pipeline twinning, said that following the existing right-of-way – as the company intends on most of the rest of the route through the Fraser Valley and the Interior – would be too disruptive to existing land owners. “We’re looking to municipal infrastructure, highways, railway lands and others that we can co-locate with,” Toth said in an interview Monday. “We’re trying to align the pipeline in those preexisting corridors.” Besides following local streets or utility corridors, the pipeline could be dug through municipal or regional parks and greenways, the company confirmed. A lengthy project description filed last week by Kinder Morgan sheds little new light on precisely what land would be dug up. A 150-metre wide corridor is to be unveiled for study purposes as part of Kinder Morgan’s formal application by the end of this year to federal regulators to build the new pipeline.

The capacity of oil storage tanks in North Burnaby would be doubled, according to a Kinder Morgan report. Detailed engineering would later narrow the construction zone to a smaller area within an 18-metre right-of-way. Further 30-metre “safety zones” created on either side of the right-of-way would give the company a perpetual sign off on any land alterations. According to the new filing, the existing tank farm in Burnaby would be doubled to 26 tanks and one more tank would be added at Sumas. Toth said the expansion in Burnaby – more than tripling storage capacity to 5.6 million barrels of oil
– is necessary to provide scheduling flexibility, as the company doesn’t control when tankers arrive. Burnaby-Douglas NDP MP Kennedy Stewart said the Burnaby tank farm expansion is a concern. “They’re all up on a hill,” Stewart said. “What if you had an earthquake? That’s the big one for me. In the Japanese earthquake a lot of the things blowing up were refineries and storage tanks.” Even if the pipeline right-ofway runs down alleys or municipal roads, he said, the 30-metre safety zones on either side could
still lower property values because homeowners may be constrained from installing a pool or making other improvements in their yard. The project would include replacing the existing tanker dock at Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby with two new docks that have three berths for tankers. Dredging may be needed as part of dock construction, the project description says. But officials say they have no plans to dredge the Second Narrows or to use bigger tankers than the ones already in use in the harbour today.
Capacity of the line is currently 300,000 barrels a day, and Kinder Morgan’s second pipe would increase capacity to 890,000 barrels a day. The project description says the terminal currently handles an average of five tankers and three barges a month, with two barges outgoing with crude oil and one incoming with jet fuel. Shipments have varied widely in recent years depending on market demand. The expansion would boost the number of oil-tanker shipments to as many as 400 per year. In operation since 1953, the Trans Mountain system extends 1,150 km from Edmonton along Highway 16 through Jasper National Park, then southwest along Highway 5 to terminals at Kamloops, Sumas, and Burnaby. The original 24-inch line has been modified several times over the years, allowing it to transport refined fuels as refineries closed in Kamloops and the Lower Mainland in the 1980s and 1990s. The pipeline supplies crude oil to Chevron’s Burnaby refinery and the Westridge Marine Terminal, where since 1956 ships have carried crude to California, the U.S. Gulf Coast and Asia. A branch line from Sumas supplies refineries at Anacortes, Ferndale and Cherry Point in Washington. – with files from Tom Fletcher

As well as targeting friends and acquaintances, Rosie also preyed on vulnerable people with addictions and drug habits, using a third party to get their personal information in exchange for drugs. The case involved the income-tax returns of more than 20 people.

Metro aims to siphon gas tax Jeff Nagel Black Press
Metro Vancouver politicians are vowing to take back direct control of the flow of federal gas-tax money that for years has been automatically funnelled to TransLink. The federal 10-cent-per-litre fuel tax collected by Ottawa – different from the 17 cents per litre TransLink levies directly – is returned to the region and used by TransLink, with the consent of Metro cities, mainly to buy new buses. That flow of $120 million per year may now be cut off as a tactic to press the provincial government to agree to major reforms of TransLink. With the BC Liberals back in power in Victoria and less willing than the NDP to bend to demands for reform, some local mayors see the gas tax fund as a lever to apply more pressure. “It’s the only place where we have any control mechanism,” said Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, one of the mayors seeking to regain control over the transportation authority and its spending priorities. The federal gas-tax agreement to return and disburse the funds is up for renegotiation and Metro has notified the province it wants direct control back. When the original gas tax agreement was struck in 2005, TransLink was still run by mayors and councillors appointed through Metro, rather than the unelected board that has ruled TransLink since 2008. “We should not be giving up one of the few chips we have,” Corrigan said. “We want to be able to control the funds.” If TransLink was cut off from gas-tax transfers, the money could instead go to Metro projects such as new sewage treatment plants, a new waste-toenergy plant or water infrastructure projects.

Federal gas-tax revenues amount to about $120 million per year. Those items are expected to cost taxpayers billions of dollars in the coming years. Corrigan said the regional district’s board could still authorize disbursement of funds to TransLink on a project-by-project basis. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said she’s not sure if the money should be left in the hands of Metro Vancouver or
TransLink. “I’d like to keep the money in my own municipality,” Jackson said, voicing support for an alternate scenario of dividing up the gas-tax funds between each local city. Over the past seven years, the gas-tax fund has bought more than a thousand new buses or SkyTrain cars at a cost of $676 million.

It has also funded two SeaBus replacements and contributed money to the Compass smart card and faregate system as well as Evergreen Line construction and Expo Line SkyTrain station upgrades. Over the next several years, TransLink proposes to use $768 million from the fund for another 500 conventional buses, 400 community shuttles, 620 HandyDarts, another SeaBus, refurbishment of 114 SkyTrain cars and smart card readers. Denying gas-tax money for bus purchases could also put TransLink under more pressure to find new funding sources – also the focus of difficult negotiations between area mayors and the province. TransLink officials say the gas-tax transfers are only spent on projects that are part of a supplemental plan that has been proposed by the TransLink board and approved by the region’s mayors’ council.

Fare-evasion fines going unpaid Plenty of transit-fare evaders who get caught and ticketed are still refusing to pay their fines, despite the introduction of a beefed-up enforcement system eight months ago. As of April 30, 21,444 transit riders have been given $173 fines for failing to pay the full fare and about 5,000 of them, or 23 per cent, have paid their ticket. TransLink spokesman Derek Zabel said nearly 8,000 tickets, or 37 per cent, have now been sent to collection agencies. Another 1,463, or seven per cent, have been forwarded to ICBC so driver’s licence or insurance renewals can be denied until the fines to TransLink are paid. He said nine per cent of tickets are disputed and no action has been taken on close to a quarter of the tickets issued, because they’re still within the 90 days

allowed for payment. Zabel noted the rate of tickets being paid is up somewhat, from 16 per cent in past years and 20 per cent as of the end of February, but added it may be still too soon to draw conclusions. The provincial government last year gave TransLink new powers to enforce payment of unpaid fare evasion tickets. For years, TransLink had been toothless, with no real way to make cheaters pay tickets. Fare evasion fines now go up $40 if they’re not paid within six months and they go up $100 if unpaid after a year. Transit Police have said they are checking more passengers but catching fewer fare evaders, suggesting more people are paying fares to ride SkyTrain in the first place, rather than cheating. -Jeff Nagel

Heart tribute band Barracuda performs June 7.
It’s a cause that is near and dear to Murray McVay’s heart. The manager of Canada’s Own Barracuda – a tribute to Ann and Nancy Wilson’s band Heart – is mounting a Surrey concert featuring a trio of cover bands, with a portion of the proceeds going to support two Langley families whose sons died last month when their canoe capsized in Nicola Lake, near Merritt. When the kickoff to the Classic Tribute Concert Series hits the stage at the Surrey Arts Centre on Friday, June 7, the first band
on the triple bill will be Barracuda, featuring McVay’s wife, Donna Caruk, in the role of Ann Wilson and Rachael Chatoor covering Nancy’s side of things. Barracuda makes every effort to give fans an authentic Heart experience, said McVay. “We’ve replicated their look and the way they do the songs.” From Crazy On You to Alone, All I Want to Do is Make Love to You and Dreamboat Annie, fans can expect to hear all their favourite Heart songs during the band’s 45-minute set at the venue in Bear Creek Park, said McVay. Those who prefer their classic tunes with
a little more edge, can check out Bon Jovi tribute Blaze of Glory, and rock along to Bad Medicine, Runaway and You Give Love a Bad Name. Those are all great songs, said McVay, but the one that never fails to thrill fans is Living on a Prayer. “That’s the one that gets people on their feet, singing along,” he said. Next up, Victoria-based Aerosmith Rocks will entertain ’80s glam-rock enthusiasts with some classic Aerosmith tunes – from Sweet Emotion, Crazy and Cryin’ to Dream On. › see page 38

Players club tweaks lineup, adds classic drama Alex Browne Arts Reporter
Twentieth Century Fox Image
The Crucible was adapted for the big screen in 1996.
White Rock Players Club is trading Misery for The Crucible. In Facebook postings Tuesday, the club’s artistic director Ryan Mooney confirmed rights issues have prevented the club from presenting Simon Moore’s adaptation of Misery, the Stephen King bestseller, as its first show of this season. Instead, the first show (Oct. 6-26) will be Arthur Miller’s classic drama The Crucible, a dramatization of the Salem witch trials of 1692 and 1693 in an early American colony, the Province of Massachusetts Bay. The real-life case, in which innocent citizens were tried and executed for witchcraft on the basis of false testimony and flawed ‘if you’re not with us you’re against us’ logic is now celebrated as an object lesson in the dangers of mass hysteria and religious extremism.
“I’m really looking forward to directing this,” Mooney wrote on Facebook. “I’ve got a unique spin on the play that I think will make it intriguing and powerful theatre.” Auditions for The Crucible will be held at the Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. on June 22 (1-5 p.m.) and June 10 (7-10 p.m.) – and would-be actors for the non-union community theatre show should note there are better odds than usual of landing a role. “This is a big cast and we are encouraging people of all races and ages to audition,” the audition notice states. The play, which has been adapted for the screen twice (once by Miller himself in 1996, with Winona Ryder and Daniel Day-Lewis, for which he earned an Academy Award nomination) joins a cinema-oriented season of plays for the club at the Coast Capital Playhouse. Even the new Christmas pantomime (Nov.

29-Dec. 28), Rumpelstiltskin, by Dave Baron promises a distinctly movie-related twist. For the first show of the new year, the club will present its first non-panto musical in many seasons, the Stephen Sondheim classic A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum (Feb. 12 - March 1), still fondly remembered for the 1965 film adaptation with Zero Mostel and Jack Gilford. Ron Hutchinson’s wry comedy Moonlight and Magnolias (April 2-19) will take audiences back to the late 1930s with a “fly-on-the-wall” reimagining of the making of Gone With The Wind. The season will wrap up June 4 - 21 with Neil Simon’s popular perennial Barefoot In The Park, the comic misadventures of a newlywed couple in New York, filmed in 1967 with Jane Fonda and Robert Redford.

Peninsula-raised indierocker/alternative pop artist Tommy Alto is celebrating the launch of his new EP Oceans/ Carolina with a release party June 8, 8 p.m. at Blue Frog Studios, 1328 Johnston Rd. Winner of last year’s Diamond In The Rock youth talent contest, and lauded for “wellcrafted, insightful lyrics and high-octane musical performance,” Alto is rapidly carving a niche for himself in the indie scene as a maverick whose music defies easy pigeonholing. The six-track EP
seamlessly blends soaring 16-part vocal harmonies and complex instrumentation with catchy, uptempo choruses that inspire listeners to dance or clap along. The result is a massive, ambient experience that, in the words of one fan, “hits you right between the eyes.” A month-long crossCanada tour in support of the CD is scheduled for August 2013 and 20 dates are already confirmed. For more tour details and updates, visit www. tommyalto.com Tickets include a copy of the EP, either as a CD or on transparent 12-inch vinyl, and are available at www.northerntickets.com/ events/tommy-alto

Fundraising concert a trip back to ’80s › from page 35 For McVay’s generation, the concert offers audiences a chance to revisit their youth – even if it’s just for a couple of hours. “It hearkens back to the days when I had hair,” he laughed. But it’s not just fans in their 40s and 50s who come out to hear ’80s tribute bands, said McVay. It’s a younger generation, too, who have grown up listening to and appreciating their parents’ music. Originally intended as a fundraiser for the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer – in support of Team Rock The $#@! Out Of Cancer – the scope of the event changed after McVay’s classmate, Kelly, lost her son, Austin Kingsborough, in a canoeing accident on Nicola Lake April 21. Austin’s friend, Brendan Wilson, also died. Seeing his friend go through such a heartbreaking tragedy, the concert promoter knew he had to do something to help. “That lady is a rock,” said McVay, who, along with Kelly, is studying to be an addictions counsellor. After a lengthy and ultimately unsuccessful search by police, the parents of the two boys hired an underwater search team from Idaho. The teens’ bodies were quickly recovered from the lake, not far from where their canoe had overturned. While the Americans conducted the search at no charge, said McVay, the families covered the expenses incurred in coming up to do the job. Once the concert has recouped its own costs, $5 from each of the next 150 tickets sold will go into a trust.

Brendan Wilson (front) and Austin Kingsborough drowned in Nicola Lake in April. Those funds will be used to train local search-and-rescue workers to properly use equipment similar to that employed by the American searchers. The goal of the fund, said McVay, is to help ensure other families who find themselves in similar tragic circumstances won’t have to wait so long to find closure. McVay plans to donate an additional $1,200 to the Ride to Conquer Cancer. It’s another cause that hits home with

Junior baseball team looks to even record during ‘winnable’ schedule
Tritons aiming for strong second half Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Earlier this season, with the White Rock Tritons in the midst of one of their tougher stretches of play – not far removed from a 23-0 spanking at the hands of the firstplace Langley Blaze – head coach Russ Smithson preached patience. “The boys are working hard, the results will come,” he said. “We are learning how to play at this level, and once we figure it out, we will be winning ball games.” The learning curve was quick, it turns out. The Tritons are still stuck in the bottom third of the BC Premier Baseball League pack with a losing record – they are 7-15 heading into this weekend’s action – but they’ve been much improved of late. The U18 baseball squad has won four of its last six game; a scheduled game Tuesday night against the North Delta Blue Jays was postponed due to rain. “It’s huge for us to finally start getting some wins,” Smithson said. The third-year coach of the PBL team said the difference in his club’s performance has been a lot of little things – a hit here, a strikeout there – which, when added together, have meant a few more notches in the win column. “The guys are young and they’re finally learning how to get some hits when we really need them, and it’s resulted in some wins for us,” said Smithson. “It’s been about winning the clutch battles – like when you’re up (to bat) and you’ve got two outs and runners on base. For the first month, we wouldn’t get that hit that we’d need, and now we are. “It’s the same with our pitchers. Earlier, with men on base, they were struggling, and now they’re finding ways to get guys out. We’re starting to reverse some trends.” Last weekend in Parksville, White Rock won both ends of a doubleheader against the Royals, winning Game 1 10-0 and the second contest 5-2. Scott Doucet – whom Smithson praised for his play of late – pitched 4⅔ innings in Game 1 before the game ended on account of the mercy rule. He struck out six while allowing just one hit. “Scotty’s been going out every weekend and throwing a complete

Right, Russ Smithson (far right) talks to his players during a game last month. game, or close to it. He’s got four of our seven wins, and has just been great,” Smithson said. White Rock was credited with just four hits in the lopsided win, but the offence was aided by seven Royals’ errors. Liam Rihela and James Pavelick each drove in a pair of runs. In Game 2, pitcher Zach Campagne got the ball for White Rock, striking out eight while allowing just six hits and two runs in seven innings of work. The win evened Campagne’s pitching record to 1-1 on the season.
Following the sweep of the Royals, the Tritons moved on to Nanaimo Sunday, winning the first game 4-3 before dropping the nightcap 5-0. In the victory, pitcher Max Koltai – who tossed a complete-game no-hitter earlier this month – was again sharp, striking out eight Pirates batters in four and twothirds innings. Though Koltai’s command was a little off in Nanaimo – he walked eight – Smithson said his pitching has been instrumental in helping turn around his team’s fortunes of
late. “Max had a lot going on earlier in the season – he was visiting some schools, and had a lot of stuff happening that was keeping him
away from the ballpark a little bit,” the coach explained. “But he’s really getting into a groove now, and that’s really going › see page 40

Coastal FC soccer squad collects gear for Haitian players
Donations roll in during Thunder effort The effort of members of Coastal FC’s U11 Thunder to collect both food and soccer gear for those in need was a rousing success earlier this month. At the Umbro Challenge Cup – held at South Surrey Athletic Park over the May long weekend – the Peninsula girls youth soccer club staffed a donation tent, and collected approximately 2,000 soccer jerseys and several hundred pairs of shorts. The gear is to be packaged up and sent to youth soccer players in Haiti in early June, in a joint project with White Rock thrift store, Project Aftershock, which aims to help impoverished residents of Haiti still recovering from the devasting earthquake that hit the small island nation in 2010. Closer to home, the girls also collected six bins of nonperishable food items, which were donated to local food banks. The team fared well on the field, too, finishing first in their age division with three wins and one tie.

Playoff push › from page 39 to help us out going forward.” With an eye toward the rest of the season – the team has 26 games left to play – Smithson said the goal is to play well enough to sneak into the playoffs. The top eight teams in the 13-team league advance to the post-season; the Tritons are currently 4½ games back of eighth-place Nanaimo in the playoff chase. “Coming up, we have a pretty – I don’t want to say ‘easy’ schedule, because nothing is easy – but we have a friendly schedule coming up for the next three or four weeks,” Smithson said. “So we have a real chance to give us a shot at that eighth playoff spot, if we play well.” His players realize, too, the opportunity that awaits them as the calendar switches to June. “Oh, for sure they know it. They’re excited – nobody wants to be totally out of it with three weeks left in the season. So if we keep winning some games here, and then maybe squeak out a win or two against some top teams at the end of the year, we have a shot.” White Rock plays at home four times this weekend, assuming the weather co-operates. At South Surrey Athletic Park Saturday, the Tritons will play twice against the Okanagan Athletics, at 2 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. On Sunday, the two teams will square off twice more, at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

High-school championships begin Friday
Track athletes eye medals Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Some of the province’s best young track-and-field stars – including many from South Surrey, Cloverdale and White Rock – will be putting their talents on display this week in Langley, at B.C. High School Track and Field Championships. The two-day event runs Friday and Saturday and Langley’s McLeod Athletic Park. Friday’s schedule consists mostly of heats – with the exception of racewalk and Grade 8-9 3,000-m finals – while Saturday’s schedule is full of final events. Action on both days begins at 9 a.m. Abbotsford will also host a handful of provincial events. All “combined events” – heptathlon and decathlon – will be held at Abby’s Rotary Stadium on Friday and Saturday. Among those aiming for medals this week are Elgin Park Secondary brothers Jake and Max Hanna; Semiahmoo runner Meghan Palesch, Lord Tweedsmuir shotputter and discus-thrower Ben Ingvaldson, as well as triplejumper Sarah Buckingahm, and Earl Marriott’s Ally Ginther, a middledistance runner, and Kathryn Van Ryswyk, who last week won two gold medals at the Fraser Valley Championships, in pole vault and 100-m hurdles.

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.
BEST PRICE BEST QUALITY BEST SERVICE
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.

KIRKPATRICK, Dena (formerly Gerllays, nee Wiles) Dena was born in Vancouver, B.C. on May 24, 1913 and passed away peacefully in her 100th year on Monday, May 27th, 2013. Dena was a warm and loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother and great-grandmother to everyone in her large extended family. She enjoyed spending time on the golf course and was fortunate enough to travel the world playing the sport she loved. She is remembered as a past President of the Point Grey Women’s Golf Club. Dena was also an avid gardener and was often seen tending her garden at her beloved home in Crescent Beach. In fact, Dena was one of the original pioneer residents on the Beach. Swimming and diving were an important part of her life, and she competed in the 1934 Commonwealth Games. She is predeceased by her husband Perry Kirkpatrick (2011) and first husband, Allen Gerllays (1964) as well as her brother Harry and sister Mardie. She is survived by her sons Leagh (Lynn) and Hale as well as her sister Phil; her grandchildren Janice, Amber, Sharie, Mike and Allen, and her 12 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her nieces, nephews and the Kirkpatrick extended family: Janis, Karen, Linda, Jamie, their children and grandchildren. A very special thank-you goes out to Sheila Laughlin, Perry’s granddaughter, for all of her loving care and nursing expertise. Also special thanks to both Whitecliff residence and the Guildford Senior Village.

Paul Bergeron
April 3, 1930 to May 11, 2013 It is with broken hearts we announce the sudden passing of our dear Paul at the age of 83. He died peacefully with the love of his life, his wife, Shirley of 51 years, by his side. He will be fondly remembered and sadly missed by son, Michael “Mike” (Pam), daughter, Martha “Marti” (Eric), three grandchildren, five great grandchildren, his brother John and Shirley’s “heart daughter”, Debbie, along with our many relatives and friends. Paul was born in Ottawa, Ontario, youngest of three brothers, where he was educated and resided until moving to North Vancouver in 1958, where he married Shirley Pick in 1962. He is predeceased by his mother, father and brother, Bill. Paul worked for LCB, Growers/Ste Michelle wine company (head office in Victoria) for many years with his last position as General Manager of Castle Wines in Saskatchewan as well as Sales Manager for Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario. Paul then went on to start his family/owned outdoor advertising company (Trans Canada Displays - billboards) along with his wife, Shirley and son, Mike. Paul was an active member of Kinsmen (North Vancouver & Regina), K-40 and Gyro clubs. He was an avid fan of Vancouver Canucks and BC Lions. Paul loved to ski, canoe, deep sea dive, golf and curl. He was good at whatever he did, whether it was sports, being a caring employer, best friend or being a wonderful and loving husband and father. He was always “there” for us! Shirley and Paul loved their life in White Rock where you would see them almost every day - hand in hand - walking on the promenade at the beach. Theirs was truly a love story! We wonder what we will do without him in our lives - he was in excellent health and taken from us all too suddenly. We will miss his smile, his warm and caring ways to everyone whose lives he touched, and he touched many! We want to thank our friends, relatives and neighbours for all their love and support during this difficult time. There will be no service as requested. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the White Rock Peace Arch Hospital where Paul received such wonderful care by all the staff. Special thanks to Dr. John O’Brien, our family doctor. Rest in peace our dear Paul and know that you are and will be loved and missed forever.
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

This includes glare from the water, making polarized a great choice for anyone who spends time at the beach, likes fishing or water sports. A good quality polarized sunglass, such as Maui Jim, will have its polarized layer inside the lens and not just a film that can scratch or peel off. A waterproof coating will help to shed water and
an oleophobic coating will repel grease and make any smudges (from sunscreen!) easier to wipe off. A mirror coating will give added protection by deflecting some of the bright light making it useful in bright conditions. It is important to know that paying a high price does not guarantee sufficient protection. The only way to assess UV protection in a lens is to have it measured by a properly equipped optician. We invite you to bring in your current glasses and we will measure the UV protection. If it is time for a new pair we have a large selection of non-prescription sunglasses and most can be made in to prescription for you.
