Singh and Bhangu.

A Surrey man who attacked and killed his wife with a hatchet during a brazen daylight slaying in Surrey two years ago pleaded guilty to seconddegree murder on Monday. Manmeet Singh murdered his 24-year-old wife, Ravinder Kaur Bhangu, on July 28, 2011.

The court heard that just before noon, Singh walked into the Sash Di Awaaz newspaper office, where Bhangu worked, with three weapons: two knives and a hatchet. Singh approached Bhangu and struck her in the head at least twice with the hatchet. He then stabbed her repeatedly with one of the knives, telling staff members at the newspaper

office that Bhangu had been unfaithful to him. He said someone should call 911, and he remained on scene until police arrived. Singh was originally charged with first-degree murder and two other assault charges related to injuries suffered by one of two men who attempted to intervene in the deadly attack. He pleaded guilty to the single,

lesser charge in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. Now 28, Singh – clean cut and dressed in a dark suit and tie – listened to a court interpreter who translated the court proceedings from English to Punjabi. He appeared calm throughout, looking a couple of times at the people sitting in the viewing gallery. › see page 2

Cadieux returns to cabinet Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Three of five Surrey BC Liberal MLAs have been chosen for posts in Premier Christy Clark’s new cabinet announced Friday afternoon at an outdoor ceremony at Canada Place in Vancouver. Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Stephanie Cadieux returns as minister of children and family development in her second term as MLA (she previously represented SurreyPanorama, but ran in her home riding of Surrey-Cloverdale after the announced retirement of former MLA and deputy premier Kevin Falcon). In her first term, Cadieux’s portfolios were minister of social development, minister of labour, citizens’ services and open government and minister of community, sport and cultural development. Minister of education is Peter Fassbender, newly elected as Surrey-Fleetwood MLA following an extensive career in municipal politics in Langley City, where he was first elected to council in 2002, and was subsequently elected mayor in the 2005, 2008 and 2011 civic elections. Newly elected Surrey-Tynehead MLA Amrik Virk becomes minister of advanced education. › see page 4

Armed robberies at ATMs by man with covered mouth and nose

Reward to bust ‘surgical mask bandit’ Tracy Holmes & Sarah Massah Staff Reporters

Surrey RCMP and the Canadian Bankers Association have upped the ante in their quest to capture the culprit behind a recent rash of armed robberies targeting ATM customers. Police Friday released security-camera images and announced a $10,000 reward in the hopes of identifying a suspect they’re describing as the “surgical mask bandit.” It’s believed the individual is responsible for six robberies that occurred in White Rock and

South Surrey between May 12 and June 2. “Our investigators now believe the same suspect might be responsible,” Cpl. Bert Paquet said in a statement Friday afternoon. The Surrey robberies took place on May 23 and 25, as well as two on June 2. One victim told Peace Arch News he was targeted at the TD Canada Trust located at 152 Street and 26 Avenue – a machine he chose after hearing about the earlier White Rock incidents. The man, who asked not to be identified, said he was at the ATM around 9:15 p.m. May

23 when “I saw this guy walking into the bank with a mask and a gun.” He was dressed in a hoodie, a checkered shirt and work-boot-type shoes, and was wearing a baseball cap, the man said. The mask did not cover his eyes. “He basically said, ‘I want you to withdraw $500 from your account.’ It was somewhat surreal because I had read about the other instances. I thought it was part of a movie, except it was real.” › see page 2

No parole eligibility for 16 years › from page 1 Second-degree murder comes with a mandatory life sentence. In an agreed statement, both the defence and Crown lawyers asked that Singh not be eligible for parole for 16 years. Singh and Bhangu met in college in India and married in 2008 before coming to Canada together in 2009. In spring 2011, Banghu left Singh and moved in with a family friend. Singh couldn’t cope with the rejection, the court heard. A victim-impact statement written by Bhangu’s brother on behalf of her parents in India said they lost not only their daughter but their peace of mind. “We miss our daughter with every breath we inhale.” Singh’s parole eligibility will be decided June 21.

at 186 Street and Fraser Highway and at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre. The White Rock robberies occurred on May 12 and 14; one at the TD Canada Trust in the 15100-block of North Bluff Road and the other at the Royal Bank in the 15000block of North Bluff Road. The cash reward is being offered by the CBA, for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible. Paquet said the association came to police with the offer. “It’s definitely a good incentive for someone who might be aware who the suspect is to come forward,” he said. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP’s Robbery Section at 604-599-0502 or, to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. Police are advising those targeted by a robber to remain calm and co-operative.

City obligated to forward application to extract 37 acres in Cloverdale, staff say

Anger over plan to take land from ALR Kevin Diakiw Black Press

The City of Surrey is under fire for forwarding a plan for the removal of land from the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). The province’s ALR is protected against development, unless it is removed by the provincial Agricultural Land Commission. In 2009, Pacific Land Group approached the city asking for support in removing 37 acres from the ALR, a collection of properties that lie north of Highway 10 between 164 and 168 streets. City staff say they had no alternative but to send the application to the commission for consideration. That’s because of a clause in the Agricultural Land Commission Act, of which, until now, city staff were completely unaware. Under Section 21 (2) of the act, the time limit for a city to forward an application to the ALC is 90 days. The city has no right to withhold the application as long as it

The City of Surrey has forwarded a proposal.

doesn’t contravene local bylaws. Pacific Land Group didn’t tell the city what it plans to build on the site, saying only that it was submitting an application for ALR extraction. Because it wasn’t paired with a rezoning request, there’s no evidence the land would be switched from its current A1 (agriculture) city zoning, and staff say Surrey had no

choice under provincial law but to forward it to the land commission. The extraction plan has been rejected several times by the city’s agricultural advisory committee. But according to Coun. Marvin Hunt, who sits on that committee (and who is being sworn in today as Surrey-Panorama’s MLA), the proponent had spent about $100,000 on studies and just wanted his “day in court” before the commission. Farmland activist Donna Passmore said because the city sent the application in April without recommendations, it is tantamount to a recommendation for approval. Shaundehl Runka, in charge of the commission’s policy and special projects, said that simply isn’t so. Runka said many cities have a policy that they will not recommend any ALR exclusion, but the majority take no position, allowing the commission to decide without city input.

Jean LaMontagne, Surrey’s general manager of planning, said that while council isn’t taking a position, the minutes from the agricultural committee – mostly against the plan – will be forwarded with the application. Passmore is also critical of the public-notification process put forward by the developer. “If I (hadn’t) been aware of this application, that means that the other members of the Fraser Valley Conservation Coalition are likely unaware of it, and I suspect the Surrey Environmental Partners are also unaware,” Passmore said. “Shame on this administration for attempting to slip farmland beneath the noses of environmental and agricultural volunteers of this community…” LaMontagne said the applicant took out ads in local papers and posted signs as the process started in 2008. He noted that even if the extraction is approved, the applicant has to apply for rezoning with the city if he wants to do anything other than farm it.

WorkSafe BC investigating

Two workers electrocuted Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Emergency crews prepare one of two workers for air transport after the pair suffered an electric shock while installing a light standard.

Two men were airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital Thursday morning after suffering an electric shock while working on Victoria Avenue near Vidal Street. Emergency crews were alerted to the incident around 10 a.m. It occurred as the pair were installing a light standard by crane on the north sidewalk of Victoria Avenue. “They were setting up a light standard and they contacted the primary lines,” White Rock deputy fire Chief Bob Schlase said. Flagger Mandy Penner was directing traffic when she saw the two men on the ground. “I heard a scream and a thump and they were both on the sidewalk,” Penner said. “The one guy was not moving. The other guy was convulsing.” Paramedics, firefighters and police responded to the 911 call, and the two men – a 33-year-old Burnaby resident and a 47-yearold South Surrey resident – were transported to a helicopter waiting at Centennial Park. That afternoon, WorkSafe BC spokesperson Megan Johnston would not disclose the men’s condition, citing confidentiality, but said both were conscious when taken to hospital.

Children airlifted in two collisions, and other youngsters playing near third crash

Injuries and near-misses in series of crashes Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A young girl was airlifted to BC Children’s Hospital with a broken leg Sunday following a serious collision on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. The crash was the most serious of two in South Surrey that evening, and among three in Surrey over the weekend that involved children. The girl, 9, was among five people injured in the crash, which occurred around 7:30 p.m. at the intersection of 152 Street and 20 Avenue, when a Mercedes attempting a left turn onto 20 Avenue from 152 Street struck a southbound Toyota minivan. Police say both vehicles were pro-

ceeding through the intersection on a late yellow light. Both vehicles suffered substantial damage. All four occupants of the Toyota – the girl, a five-year-old boy, and their parents, aged 35 and 36 – were taken to hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries. The Mercedes driver, a 17-yearold South Surrey resident, was taken to Peace Arch Hospital. He was issued a ticket for driving without due care in connection with the crash. The crash occurred just two days after a five-year-old boy was struck in a hit-and-run in North Surrey. The youngster, who was hit Friday

urday, and the vehicle involved was found at a residence just blocks away from the collision scene. As of Monday, no charges had been laid and the driver’s name

had not been released. Police are also investigating a single-vehicle crash that occurred in the 1600-block of Ocean Park Road Sunday, when the driver of a northbound Audi R8 lost control on a corner and struck a brick gatepost. Police say the crash occurred at 7:30 p.m., and that the driver, a 19-year-old man, was driving another man home from a nearby pub. Witness Lisa Parker told Peace Arch News the Audi “didn’t do well” after the corner, spun out on gravel and narrowly missed hitting children who were playing near the gatepost. - with files from Kevin Diakiw

The Shape of Things to Come

Ex-caucus chair says added roles ‘pull you away’ from community

Hogg to focus on riding Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Newly re-elected Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg said last week that he would not seek cabinet office in this term, nor would he like to return as government caucus chair, a post he has held for the past two years. “I think it’s time somebody else had that for a while,” the veteran BC Liberal politician told Peace Arch News Wednesday afternoon, noting he found that, as in his earlier cabinet posts as minister of children and family development, minister of state for mining and minister of state for ActNow BC, “it pulls you away from the community a fair amount.” The position of caucus chair is elected as a one-year term in a secret ballot by MLAs. Premier Christy Clark – who said she would run in a byelection in Westside-Kelowna this summer, after being defeated in Vancouver-Point Grey May 14 – announced cabinet appointments Friday, and cabinet was sworn in Monday. Hogg, 66, is to be sworn in today (Tuesday), along with other BC Liberal MLAs and independent Vicki Huntington (Delta South). NDP MLAs are to be sworn in Wednesday. Hogg is a former White Rock mayor and councillor, holding civic office for 20 years before first being elected as SurreyWhite Rock MLA in 1997. Prior to being elected to the legislature, he worked as a counsellor, probation officer and regional director for corrections. He has also served as a board member on numerous committees and

Longtime SurreyWhite Rock BC Liberal MLA Gordon Hogg and new Surrey-Panorama BC Liberal MLA-elect Marvin Hunt (currently in his 23rd year on Surrey council) were not named to cabinet. Surrey’s three remaining MLAs – Sue Hammell (Green Timbers), Harry Bains (Newton) and Bruce Ralston (Whalley) – are New Democrats. Another MLA wellknown in Surrey, Mary Polak (Langley) – former Surrey school board trustee and a member of the legislature since 2005 – is the new minister of environment.

Surrey Mounties crackdown on dangerous drivers on King George Boulevard.

Surrey RCMP ticket 900 in crackdown Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Police handed out almost 900 tickets in during a May crackdown on errant drivers along King George Boulevard, a corridor cited as one of the most dangerous in the province. In May, Surrey RCMP and the Integrated Road Safety Unit (IRSU) cited drivers for 891 infractions, including 327 for speeding, 191 other high-risk driving, 199 intersection infractions, 169 distracted drivers, and five for having consumed alcohol before driving. Police picked the month of May because it’s historically a deadly month on King George Boulevard, home to two of the most dangerous intersections in the province as it crosses 88 Avenue and 104 Avenue.

Between 2010 and 2013 there were five fatalities along the corridor, but during the last month, no one was killed in a traffic accident in Surrey. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said he hopes the message is getting out to drivers they may need to change their behaviours. “We need to get the message out by prevention,” Paquet said week. “And when we can’t, the second part of that is enforcement. We hope that these drivers that were issued tickets have made changes.” At about $170 per citation, there were about $150,000 worth of tickets handed out over the month. “It’s a costly reminder to change your driving behaviour,” Paquet said. “It’s not as costly a reminder as it could have been had they hit someone.”

Time to elect a senate, or abolish it

n the minds of many Canadians, the purpose of the Canadian Senate is a bit of a mystery. It’s a body that’s not elected, what it accomplishes is less than clear and news about it only erupts when politicians talk about reform, or more recently – as is the case with embattled journalist-turned-politician Mike Duffy – when senators play fast and loose with the purse strings of taxpayers. The original purpose of the Senate was to give a sober second thought to bills passed by elected Members of Parliament, and, according to its website, to bolster underrepresented groups, such as women, Aboriginal people and minorities. When it comes to being a champion of Aboriginal, women’s or minority rights, the Senate is perhaps the last organization that leaps to mind. As well-intentioned as the Senate was when created in 1867, today the body is effectively a patronage system for the ruling party to reward loyal and often high-profile Canadians with prestigious well-paid jobs. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has long advocated reforming Senate terms and appointment procedures, or even doing away with it altogether. However, that hasn’t stopped him from appointing 56 Conservative senators (and two elected in Alberta) over his time in office. And now that his own Senate appointees have been accused of fiddling with their own rules of remuneration, it seems unapologetically opportunistic for him to suggest now that these latest examples of apparent abuse are even more reason he should get his way. If Parliament can’t abolish the Senate or it accepts that it has a reason to exist, change is desperately needed. Does it make sense that New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have 10 senators each and Quebec has 24, while Alberta has six and B.C. has five? For the Senate to have credibility, rather than act as a vehicle for patronage and self-serving party loyalty, each province should have an equal number of elected senators. Senators themselves should not be sitting silent, and should be seeking to reform an institution that has no accountability or credibility in terms of working in the interests of Canadians.

is honour. This mess goes back more than a century in B.C. and Canada, and has its roots in the British Parliament, where MPs and Lords had a system of claiming all sorts of expenses, including construction of a “duck house” and maintenance of the moat around an Honourable Member’s castle. Many years ago, British MPs convinced themselves that they were underpaid, and rather than create a public fuss by giving themselves a big raise, they would be able to top it up by claiming up to 250 pounds at a time without receipts. Cheers! You can imagine how well that worked out. As one observer put it, the system was not only open to abuse, it was actually designed for it. Here in B.C., the next step is obvious. If you go to the website of Alberta Premier Alison Redford, you can easily find the link to her detailed expense reports, itemized for travel, meals, hotel rooms and so forth. Alberta cabinet ministers provide the same disclosure. B.C. cabinet ministers’ travel expenses are now reported, but only as an occasional lump sum. As a result of Doyle’s revelations last summer, B.C.’s Legislative Assembly Management Committee now meets in public, with transcripts of proceedings available. But MLA expenses are still not itemized. Total expenditures are being reported on a quarterly basis, but with no detail to explain why some MLAs have much higher totals than others. It’s time to sweep out the cobwebs.

Democratize our Senate

Don’t overbuild the Pattullo

An open letter to MP Russ Hiebert (S. Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale). Watching, listening and following the Senate affair, I am disappointed that, to date, no one has proposed a reasonable, non-political solution to resolve this issue. I believe that the current government, including all parties, should vote to have a referendum on whether to have the Senate abolished or remain. The solution should be made by the people of this country in a referendum, not by those with a vested interest in maintaining a Senate that is not democratically elected nor democratically representing all the people of this country on a equal basis. It is simply, at this time, an institution that is totally undemocratic. The Conservatives were elected in 2006 with a promise to make the Senate equal and elected. That has not happened, nor do I believe it is anywhere close to happening. Therefore the action should be removed from the political appointees and referred to the people of the country to make the decision. The senators are currently approving a measure to have the Senate’s books audited by the attorney general. These senators are the same people who said that if senators repaid inappropriate expense claims, everything would be good. I believe it should be the people who pay the bills who should have the final say on whether the Senate is abolished or remains. Both Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and Treasury Board president Tony Clement are looking for ways to trim costs and get the country back on a balanced budget. I totally agree with this direction, and abolishing the Senate should save the country a minimum of a billion dollars a year. Furthermore, I believe that if a referendum were held soon, the overwhelming majority of the country would vote to abolish the Senate. Additionally, I just listened to Senator James Cowan, the Liberal opposition member in the Senate, state that in order to abolish the Senate, a majority of the provinces would have to be in agreement with that decision. I believe that if a majority of people in each province voted to abolish the Senate in a referendum by province, then the federal government would have the Senate abolished. There would be no more discussion on whether or not the Senate can be abolished. Furthermore, I cannot see any provincial government objecting to a referendum abolishing the Senate at this point in time. They would be voting against the very population that installed them into these positions. The House of Commons should be listening very closely to this current discussion, as the Senate affair hopefully will have an impact on a more transparent and open House of Commons. Bill Hatton, Surrey

Editor: Re: All bridge options have tolls, June 6. After reading the options being considered by TransLink to replace the Pattullo Bridge, I was disappointed to see that, once again, the clear solution to the bridge problem is a two-deck bridge, top northbound and bottom southbound – similar to the bridge found to the south in Seattle – and if structurally possible, a box-frame construction that size-wise and weight-wise could fit onto existing Pattullo Bridge footings, saving taxpayers millions in new bridge construction. With new materials and engineering systems it does not make sense to overbuild like the Port Mann Bridge. Nicholas Miller, Surrey

Coal not only burning issue Editor: Re: More coal trains: bad business, June 6; In the black, June 4, letters. I wonder if the uproar over coal trains is people having legitimate concerns about the environment, or more White Rock NIMBYism. If people are that concerned about the negative effects of coal, maybe they should take the next step and

start stopping or banning the huge list of detrimental things that are plaguing us. Start with banning Walmart, cheap foreign goods and consumerism. Stop factory farming, eating meat and dining at fast food restaurants. Stop pipelines, tar sands, driving cars and flying on planes. Ban monster homes and having too many children. Ban advertising, Facebook and mindless tweets. Stop the unelected from being decision makers, have a maximum wage and make people vote. Let’s just ban capitalism, because I just don’t want those dirty coal trains going through my town. Mike Hammersmark, Surrey n Reading the many Powder River Basin coal detractors’ letters concerning coal railed through White Rock and South Surrey, and considering the amount of coal dust these fear-mongers envision being propelled from these trains, and further considering the 1,900-kilometre journey these trains take to get here from Gillette, Wyo., these coal cars should already be empty by the time they cross the border. Ironically, these same cars will probably emit more dust on their return trip. The mine is paid for tonnes loaded onto the ship, which is why they pour on the retardant. This notwithstanding, after the cars are rotary dumped, there is always residual in the cars and it’s the “empty” car requiring treatment. It’s the return trip that matters. If they’re concerned about our environment, they should consider the amount of chlorine dioxide

that’s railed through White Rock and Crescent Beach. This is the stuff that will kill you; coal won’t. Funny, everyone is complaining about the trains, but they’ve been shipping coal from Roberts Bank for more than 40 years. Perhaps if everybody stopped buying Chinese stuff, they might not need to generate more power there. And, by the way, let’s not forget rail has been traveling through the Semiahmoo Peninsula for over 100 years. Because we’re here, now we expect it to go away? We’re lucky BNSF allows us access across their right-of-way to the beach. Notwithstanding the fact that coal-train detractors have recently had, and lost, their chance to elect a Green provincial candidate, there still is ample opportunity for them to show their true colours and, in my opinion, that is to publicly hoist the not-so-recently retired hammer and sickle. Alex Barrie, Surrey n The Nicomekl and Serpentine trestles – along with the bridge over the Little Campbell River – are reaching their effective life span. In the history of trains moving through our community, there have never been heavier loads than coal trains stressing these structures. The safety and environmental concerns should be cause to find another route, even if more coal export is approved through Surrey. The only way to motivate BNSF is to cut into profit margins. The potential for a major failure along this rail corridor may prompt them to look for alternate routes. Paul Hough, Surrey

Letter-writer Martin Vath questions the length of time road work on King George Boulevard has been going on.

Not much of a work in progress

Editor: I’ve come to believe that it took less time to build the new Port Mann Bridge than it’s taking the crews working around the intersection of King George Boulevard and 148 Street (32 Avenue Diversion) to finish whatever make-work project they have going on. How many months have gone by without that intersection being inundated with orange traffic dividers and large arrow boards causing havoc? And how many times have I had the misfortune to

find myself travelling through the intersection without even seeing anyone there, let alone actually doing something! If it’s a private firm contracted to do the work, then they must be working on a per-hour basis rather than a contract. If it’s the Surrey municipality doing the job, then the taxpayers are getting hosed. Enough already. Get the job done. Marvin Vath, White Rock

Health ministry spokesman Ryan Jabs confirmed the fees are discretionary. “It was not really prescriptive but the understanding was that facilities would be charging a certain amount for wheelchairs,” he said. Huntington said it’s unacceptable, regardless of whether the province or Fraser Health is responsible. “If it’s a provincial policy, the province ought to be absolutely ashamed of itself,” she said. “I hope Fraser Health reconsiders and I hope the province steps in.”

Business council finds gas taxes driving B.C. dollars south

‘Billions lost’ to U.S. stores

Family owned and operated since 1962.

YOU WILL SAVE $$$$ ON ALL

Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C. residents spent an estimated $2.6 billion cross-border shopping in the U.S. last year, according to estimates from the B.C. Business Council. And it says the higher-thannormal level of spending south of the border is contributing to the weakness of retail sales for businesses in B.C. According to the BCBC study, the rise of cross-border shopping in recent years has been driven by three main factors – the strong Canadian dollar, recent increases in duty-free exemptions and the large gap between gas prices in Metro Vancouver and Washington State. The business council estimates short-term spending by B.C. residents in the U.S. added up to as much as $1.6 billion last year, while that figure rises to between $2 and $2.6 billion if longer vacation-type trips are counted. And those figures count only shopping for goods, fuel and groceries, they don’t include services, restaurant meals or entertainment, which the report says might add another $1 billion or more. Same-day trips across the border by B.C. residents have soared 143 per cent from 2.3 million crossings in 2009 to 5.7 million last year.

Cross-border shopping is estimated to cost B.C. businesses billions. “The increase in trips is plain to see,” the report said. “There are frequently long lineups at border crossings, gas stations in adjacent U.S. communities are busy, and parking lots at shopping centres are filled with B.C. licence plates.” It also recounts calls in Bellingham for American-only shopping times when locals won’t have to jam into stores with hordes of bargain-hunting B.C. visitors. Increases in B.C.’s carbon tax and TransLink’s fuel tax in the Metro region “have compounded earlier price discrepancies, creating powerful incentives for many British Columbians to fill their tanks south of the border.” A 70-litre fill-up costs about $25 less south of the line.

and Jock Finlayson noted a 2.1 per cent drop in 2012 fuel sales in the region following TransLink’s two-cent increase in the gas tax to 17 cents a litre. “The ability to increase taxes on fuel in the Metro area may be reaching a tipping point,” the report said. Rising fuel taxes may have led some B.C. motorists to drive less, it says, but the steep rise in crossborder shopping suggests crossborder gas buying is the cause of the B.C. fuel sales drop, “rather than meaningful underlying changes in consumer behaviour.” The report notes cross-border shopping is not at an all-time high, contrary to some media coverage. More trips were consistently recorded in the early 1990s.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Meri Dai Edwards and her husband, Ed, founded the Semiahmoo Peninsula’s Celebrate Recovery group in 2010. The program offers support for those suffering from a variety of problems.

Semiahmoo Peninsula support program creates a safe environment for recovery

Freedom from hurts, habits and hang-ups Alex Browne

Staff Reporter

ot a problem? You’re not alone. That’s the central message of Celebrate Recovery, a program of support and compassion that started at Pastor Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church in Orange County, Calif. and has spread to more than 20,000 churches worldwide (there are some 15 groups in B.C. alone). The Semiahmoo Peninsula’s program group – founded in 2010 by Meri Dai Edwards and her husband, Ed – is thriving at South Surrey’s Peace Portal Alliance with regular Monday night drop-in meetings starting at 6:30 p.m. A mark of that success is that, on Saturday, June 22, the group will host the first Western Canada conference and one-day seminar, together with Peace Portal Alliance, at 15128 27 B Ave.

“There are hundreds of people registered already,” said Edwards. “They’re coming from all over the west – including Washington, Montana, California and Manitoba.” The event will include advanced leadership training from program founder John Baker, and, for new groups, an overview of the program from his wife, Cheryl. Also attending and offering advice will be Celebrate Recovery’s Western Canada Director, Glen Hood. One of the key elements of the program – which follows the 12-step recovery model – is its universality, added Edwards, daughter of popular traditional jazz musician and bandleader Rice Honeywell Sr. and the late Helen Honeywell. “Everyone’s got something they’re dealing with,” she said, noting Celebrate Recovery’s core aim:

‘Freedom from hurts, habits and hang-ups.’ “We’re not afraid to say it’s a Christ-centered program, based on the Beatitudes,” she said. Just as the Beatitudes (which appear as eight “blessings” in the account of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew) emphasize mercy, love and humility, Celebrate Recovery accepts – in, realistic, non-judgmental terms – that we are all succeptable to addictive, compulsive and dysfunctional behaviours. “We do not fix people; we’re not counsellors,” Edwards said of the small groups in which individuals can share the nitty-gritty aspects of their ongoing struggles. “We do not have ‘cross’ talk. It’s open to any faith – we do not proselytize at all.” Recognizing that the sharing of hurts, habits and hang-ups can

venture into some deeply personal areas, Edwards notes that one of the principles of Celebrate Recovery is that it offers a safe and supportive environment. About the only real rule, she said, is that there is no “offensive” talk. “When you’re angry, the expletives can often come out, and we meet that with a certain amount of grace, of course,” she said. “But the guideline is that there is no offensive language.” Most of those who conduct Celebrate Recovery programs, have their own history of struggles, Edwards said. They’re not all obvious issues, such as alcoholism, or substance abuse, or even the current, exponentially increasing problems of internet addiction and sexual addiction. In Edwards’ own case, she had grief issues following the death of

her mother in 2000, issues over her feelings of subservience to others’ needs and spiralling family conflicts that led her and Ed to move to the West Coast from their native Ontario for “a fresh start” in 2006. Those who participate in the program take personal responsibility for their steps toward recovery, she said, but the support and listening of others cannot be underestimated. “When I was sharing with the small group, I was never interrupted,” she said. “I was able to process what I needed to process, able to handle my grief. No one was trying to fix me.” For registration and information on the one-day seminar, visit celebraterecovery.com For information on the regular Monday night drop-ins, contact Edwards at cratppac@gmail.com or Eileen at 604-538-2426.

Pacific Heights’ leadership team leads charitable endeavour

Students set for water walk Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

A group of Grade 6/7 students at Pacific Heights Elementary will participate in a Water Walk this week in an effort to raise money and awareness of a lack of clean water for students in Kenya. The group of about 30 students – part of the school’s leadership team – will lead their schoolmates in a walk from the school (17148 26 Ave.) to Grandview Corners on Wednesday afternoon. Students will be carrying with

them jugs of water, symbolizing the distance young Kenyans must walk to obtain clean, drinkable water. The walk is part of a global campaign spearheaded by the Free The Children organization, which aims to build new wells in Kenya. So far, the leadership team has raised about $2,000, with the goal of raising $5,000 by the end of the school year – money which will fund a new well. In addition to the Water Walk, students have held a number of fundraisers, such as car washes,

Protecting Your Brand. Using Trademarks as a Business Tool. What is a Trademark? A trademark is your business’s brand. A trademark could be a logo, name, slogan, colour, shape, sounds or any combination of these. Examples of trademarks include: the Nike “swoosh design”, Molson’s “I am. Canadian”, Apple’s “iPod”and the Vancouver Canuck’s logo. Why Register a Trademark? Just as a marriage can be legally registered or remain common law, so can a trademark. Registered trademarks are enforceable across Canada, even if your business is restricted to a certain city or province. Your common law rights in respect of an unregistered trademark, however, are restricted to the specific geographic area where you conduct business. Additional advantages to registering a trademark include: • If anyone attempts to use a similar trademark, you will be able to initiate an infringement action under the Trademarks Act, an owner of an unregistered trademark may only rely on “passing off ”proceedings in which the plaintiff has a more onerous burden of proof. • Licensing your trademark to other parties such as franchisees is much easier if registered. • Trademark registration is an asset in itself, adding value to your business. • Trademark registration can be important in registering and/or maintaining an internet domain name. A common assumption is that once you have incorporated provincially or federally you have unlimited rights to that corporate name. However, if the public is likely to confuse a corporate name with a trademark which another business is already using, then the owner of the trademark will likely be able to prevent use of the corporate name. What is a good trademark? It is important to choose trademarks that are distinctive and not confusingly similar to trademarks already in use. Doing so will give you the strongest possible rights against new competitors. The most protectable marks are those that are fanciful (words such as “Kleenex”or “Kodak”that have no meaning) or arbitrary (real words that have nothing to do with the identified products or services, like “Apple” for computers). Creative and unusual design elements can further assist in establishing your brand and trademark protection. Going International If you are planning to sell your products or services in other countries, you should also consider registering your trademark for each of those countries. Why Use a Trademark Agent? Registering a trademark is complicated and time consuming. An experienced trademark agent can help you register a strong trademark, thereby, saving you time, money and angst. A weak trademark will leave you vulnerable to legal issues such as “cease and desist”letters and court action. For more information with respect to the process of registration of trademarks in Canada, the United States or other countries, contact Tamara Huculak, lawyer/associate counsel and registered trademark agent at RAWN KARRAS & SANDERSON 604 542-5344, or by email at thuculak@bkslaw.com.

33 rd ANNUAL JULY 12, 13, 14

2013

hirty-four years ago a small group of residents and bike racing enthusiasts put together plans for a local bike race to be held around the beaches and hills of White Rock. In those early days there were few racers, few prizes, few volunteers, and even fewer spectators. Today, it has grown into the second longest continuous bicycle race in North America and the longest running bike race in Canada. The Tour de White Rock is part of the BC Superweek Series that includes racing in Delta, Burnaby, and Vancouver. To add more interest to this year’s series, the international governing body of cycling, Union Cycliste International (UCI) officially welcomed the Delta Road Race (held 1 week prior to the Tour de White Rock) as a 1.2 UCI sanctioned event. With international sanctioning and awarding of official UCI points, the Tour de White Rock is expected to draw a deeper, stronger field of professional

cyclists from all over the world, in addition to the top riders from Canada and the USA. As an introduction into the weekend of racing, the Tour de White Rock, in conjunction with the Peace Arch News, is presenting a weekly series of health, well-being, and bike-related tips and articles for those looking for ideas on how to implement and maintain an active lifestyle. Three local experts will be giving tips and advice on such things as healthy food choices for on-the-go types, the importance of post-race/post exercise nutrition, and what healthy and nutritious foods to bring to race day (provided by Nicole Fetterly a nutritionist with Choices Markets); advice from a local physiotherapist regarding the benefits of cycling for injury management, and for those with disabling conditions such as osteoarthritis (written by Tyler Dumont, local physiotherapist and long-time bike racer); and background information on the Tour itself, including

the popular Just Giver Amateur Hill Climb (written by Barry Dalziel, cycling coach, and Race Director for the Tour de White Rock). Each of our experts will target a different topic each week, providing a different perspective on how to help you make healthier choices in your life. See you at the races! If you have any specific questions to ask of the experts please feel free to contact them via email (see below for details).

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

Eat right, exercise and get plenty of sleep. Most would agree this is a sensible and basic prescription for good health. But like so many things-easier said than done! We recently attended a conference sponsored by the Harvard School of Public Health and the Culinary Institute of America where the focus was on how important lifestyle is to our health and happiness. Unshockingly, current medical research clearly shows that eating too much of the wrong food and moving too little is behind skyrocketing rates of obesity and diabetes in the U.S., and, Canada is on a similar path. The antidote? Get people to find the fun in eating healthy and getting active. That’s where Leaps & Bounds Personal Training and Clinical Exercise can help! Shirley Garrett has been a personal trainer for almost 20 years and has seen a lot of fads come and go. She knows that helping people get more active and fit requires passion, commitment, experience and a strong sense of fun! The training studio needs to inspire confidence and a sense of challenge as well as a feeling of safety. Shirley is especially proud of her trainers and the dedication, commitment and expertise they bring to their work. The objective at Leaps & Bounds is to help people achieve their best and to do it in a way that inspires them, instills confidence and lets them have some fun along the way.

Getting fit is not a one-day event; it’s a lifestyle to last a lifetime! Leaps & Bounds offers a wide spectrum of training experience and fitness programs that can appeal to everyone. Personal Training offers the most private and exclusive experience while small group training provides an effective workout in a more social atmosphere. There is circuit training, spin/cycle fit classes, yoga, pilates, boxing conditioning. Whether you are new to exercise or are looking for a new challenge or perhaps getting active because of an injury or illness we can create a program for you. Because fitness is truly a mind-body experience we can also provide access to a psychologist and a dietitian to assist you with your journey to health. The good news is that the research is in: whether you are 20 or 80 getting active, eating right and sleeping well can help you get healthier and happier. We look forward to seeing you at Leaps & Bounds! Call us for an initial half hour session – it’s on us!

Metro Vancouver mass-burn incinerator, Delta cement plant advance

Waste-to-energy bids shortlisted Jeff Nagel Black Press

The company that operates Metro Vancouver’s existing garbage incinerator is one of several bidders now short-listed by the regional district to build a new waste-to-energy plant. Covanta Energy has hedged its bets with two proposals that were short-listed by Metro – one for a mass-burn incinerator and the other to build a gasification plant. A total of 10 proposals out of the 22 received have been short-listed based on proponents’ proven track record converting garbage into energy and the expertise of their teams. Metro intends to add 370,000 tonnes per year of new wasteto-energy capacity, but the project is controversial and under steady attack from Fraser Valley critics over air quality concerns as well as others who see incineration as a threat to increased recycling. Seven of the 10 proposals are for mass-burn incinerators. Besides Covanta, they include engineering giant Aecom, Plenary Group Canada, Energy Answers International, Termomeccanica Ecologia, Wheelabrator Technologies and Aquilini Renewable Energy. Aquilini has been in talks with

A list of bidders has been shortlisted for Metro waste projects. the Tsawwassen First Nation to potentially base an incinerator on treaty lands there. Another short-listed proponent – Lehigh Cement – proposes to pre-process garbage as refuse-derived fuel and then burn it at its Delta cement plant on River Road at Tilbury Island, offsetting its use of either coal or natural gas. Energy Answers’ incinerator proposal would also preprocess waste as refuse-derived fuel (RDF). RDF systems typically dry garbage, remove inert materials and otherwise process the waste so it burns better and

hotter. The only other short-listed proponent, Mustang JFE, proposes to combine an RDF approach with anaerobic digestion of organics along with gasification. According to a Metro report, gasification systems typically convert waste to a gas stream that is directly combusted or can be converted into a syngas, which can be converted into a fuel or other product. Proponents that didn’t make Metro’s short list include Chilliwack Bioenergy Group, as well as several other firms, some of which proposed lesser known

technologies. Some Metro directors had previously voiced concern the process would ultimately result in a mass-burn incinerator, rather than the use of emerging alternative waste-to-energy technologies. The Metro staff report on the short list notes Metro hired a third-party expert panel and a fairness advisor to ensure the procurement process is not biased in favour of any particular technology. The fairness advisor and third-party expert panel both endorsed the process to rate proponents and the outcome so far. Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, chair of Metro’s zerowaste committee, said a new waste-to-energy plant would be far advanced from older ones. “Improvements are being made to the technology all the time,” he said. “There’s great interest in this entire area within the professonal realm.” Apart from the potential sites like Lehigh in Delta, Metro Vancouver residents are still a long way from learning if the new plant may be built in their neighbourhood. Metro will ask for land owners who want to propose their properties to step forward this summer.

Surrey aims to host softball world championships in 2016

Taking on the world

Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

rganizers of the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship have their sights set on hosting an even bigger tournament in South Surrey – and now they need the community to get behind the plan, too. The city is aiming to host the 2016 Women’s World Championship after being named as Canada’s bid city back in February. The bid committee – headed up by Gregg Timm and Chuck Westgard – will find out if they’ve been chosen after giving a presentation to more than 130 delegates at the International Softball Federation Congress when it convenes Oct. 21-26 in Cartagena, Colombia. Members of the organizing group will also travel to the Czech Republic to give a presentation to delegates, similar to the one they’ll deliver in Colombia. Timm, the chair of the Canadian Open tournament – which, including its predecessor, the Canada Cup, enters its 20th running later this month – said the idea to bid on the 2016 event came as a result of the tournament being changed to an “open” event; previously, teams had to qualify regionally to gain entry. “We just thought, with our expertise in running our open tournament, and the fact that we’ve had a lot of these countries in our event previously – teams like Spain, Denmark and Indonesia, which would never otherwise qualify – we just thought, ‘we can do this,’” Timm said. “We’re used to hosting teams like that.” It’s not quite clear what other nations will be bidding on the event, though

Chuck Westgard and Greg Timm (left) and other organizers of the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship (above) are bidding on the 2016 World Championships. Timm called his bid committee “very well “We are looking for assistance from polished” in comparison to competing bids. people who have interest in community “We have a lot of depth in our events, in supporting sports, in helping organization,” he added. “From hospitality, young women – and there’s lots of to hosting, to things on the business side.” opportunities for these young athletes that The entire cost to run the event – come out of playing in a major event like including funding the bid process – is this,” Timm said. estimated to be $1.2 million. As such, In-kind donations are also welcome, the organizing committee is seeking Westgard added. community involvement in all types of “We’ve got to fix (Softball City) up a areas, from corporate sponsorship and little bit, to the tune of probably a million donations, to philanthropic donations from dollars,” he said. “We’re going to work to individuals, to engagement from service improve the fields, pave the parking lots – groups and others of that ilk who could stuff like that that can help us.” help with hosting or accommodations of Timm said the group’s motto, of sorts, is › see page 30 visiting teams.

Pair receive Life Membership Awards

Surrey residents among BC Soccer honourees Rick Kupchuk Black Press

BC Soccer announced their annual awards last week, and several Surrey residents are among the recipients. Steve Reed and Robert Sawtell were among five people to receive Life Membership Awards. “These individuals have dedicated their time and passion to the sport of soccer in areas ranging from administration and governance to refereeing and board leadership,” said a BC Soccer press release. “BC Soccer thanks them for their endless contributions and is proud to acknowledge them with this achievement.”

Surrey United goalkeeper Paul Shepherd was named the Adult Player of the Year for “establishing himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the Vancouver Metro Soccer League (VMSL). “His agility and reflexes are razor sharp and he never ceases to amaze his own teammates with outstanding saves, which are quite often the post-game topic of discussion,” said VMSL vice-president William Azzi. The Surrey United Soccer Club – which plays out of Cloverdale Athletic Park – did well in the Coach of the Year awards, winning in both the Youth and Adult categories. Frank McCann is the Youth Coach of the Year after leading his team to

a provincial title and a trip to the under-16 boys national championship in Charlottetown, P.E.I. “This past October his team won the Canadian National Club Championship gold medal which is the pinnacle of his long and distinguished coaching career,” said Surrey United executive director Martin Foden. Peninsula resident Niall Thompson is coach of United’s men’s team, and was named BC Soccer’s Adult Coach of the Year. In four seasons with Thompson as coach, United has won two league titles, two Imperial Cups, one Pacific Cup and the BC Soccer Provincial Cup in 2012 and 2013.

BC Soccer will honour all of these award recipients by hosting them Saturday at BC Place when the Vancouver Whitecaps FC take on the New England Revolution. n BC Soccer also announced the recipients of 12 scholarships worth more than $13,000 to “some of BC’s most inspiring and promising individuals.” Julia Lauzon of Surrey is the recipient of this year’s Sandra Duncan Scholarship funded by the South District Girls Soccer Association for her outstanding academic achievements combined with her dedication to soccer. Lauzon has several opportunities to play varsity soccer at the university level after playing

with Surrey United and BC Soccer’s Provincial Program. “Julia is a great example of a student athlete,” said BC Soccer programs coach Markus Reinkens. “Her dedication both on and off the field is first class and she is an excellent recipient for this award.” The Dancey Family Scholarship, funded by the Surrey Metro Soccer Association in memory of George, Mary and Ron Dancey, is being awarded to Adrienne Juni of Burnaby. Her involvement in soccer includes playing for the past nine years, refereeing for the last six years, and being a head coach for the Burnaby Girls under-11 Thunderbolts.

What to do about greenhouse gas emissions? A number of organizations in Metro Vancouver are considering district heating from renewable energy systems as a means to produce heat (and sometimes electricity) while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Boilers fuelled with wood or clean wood waste (biomass) are one example of a renewable energy system. Metro Vancouver’s Boilers and Process Heaters Emission Regulation Bylaw No. 1087 authorizes and regulates emissions from biomass boilers. Changes to Bylaw No. 1087 are proposed to ensure these systems are properly designed and operated to protect local air quality, and to facilitate effective use of small biomass systems. You are invited to participate in a workshop in your community to hear more about the proposed bylaw changes and to provide your input to this important discussion about our region’s future. The workshops will include a short presentation followed by a facilitated discussion with staff and other participants. WORKSHOP SCHEDULE North Vancouver

CLARK Olive It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Olive Eugenia Clark. Olive had a keen and inquisitive mind as well as a hunger for knowledge which enriched her life and the lives of those around her. She never hesitated to engage in debates with friends or family – whether a family dinner or one of the many organizations in which she participated and she was always open to new ideas. Olive had several careers in her life, starting out as an air traffic controller in the Royal Canadian Air Force during WW II. She was married to Ray Sanford Clark in 1945 and spent her early married life raising their four children, Michael (Kathryn), Christopher, David (Debbie) and Kate (Christopher). At the age of 50 Olive enrolled in Simon Fraser University and began her career as an elementary school teacher. Upon retirement she and Ray moved to the White Rock area, where she became an avid volunteer and active member of the University Women’s Club. Olive is survived by her husband and children, eight grandchildren and four great grandchildren. A celebration of her life will be held at the family residence on June 15th from 2 to 5 PM. In lieu of flowers, we ask that a donation be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, in her name.

GABRIELLE MAE ROSS

OC TOBER 13, 2010 - JUNE 7, 2013 GABRIELLE passed peacefully at Canuck Place in the presence of her adoring parents and brothers. She is survived by her parents, Amy and Regan Ross; brothers, James, Michael, and Jonathan: grandparents Wayne and Jane Baldwin, David and Doreen Ross; great-grandmother Della Walsh; and many loving aunts and uncles and cousins. Gabby had I-cell disease, an extremely rare and incurable genetic disease that would not allow her body to develop. Although her body was small and frail, her spirit was big and strong. As a frequent visitor to Canuck Place, Gabby’s big smile and sunny disposition made her a favorite there. In her brief life Gabby taught us many lessons: to smile and spread the love of life every chance you get; to seek help from those who know when you need to; to take care of your body - it is the temple and vessel for your soul; to work selflessly for life’s rewards; to embrace the riches of family life and to support each other; to live each day with love and meaning. Gabby was an angel sent to us from heaven and now has returned there, but her spirit will always be with us, and we will use the lessons she taught us. Gabby’s family would like to give special thanks to her day nurses; the staff and volunteers at Canuck Place who made her final journey so peaceful; and the staff at Children’s Hospital for the expert care she received on many occasions over her brief life. A celebration of Gabrielle’s life will be held at 2 pm on Friday June 14, 2013 at Victory Gardens. In lieu of flowers, donations to Canuck Place would be appreciated.

Noreen (Olive) Schmitt 1942 - 2013 We wish to announce that our dearest Noreen has taken the next step on her journey. After a long (she was a fighter!) and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer, Noreen said her goodbyes and left peacefully on June 2nd. Noreen has been a resident of White Rock since 1965, where she enjoyed her seaside life to the fullest. The majority of her career was spent at Air Canada, where she rose from becoming the first female spray painter of planes to head of the maintenance shop. Her compassionate nature and strong sense of fairness led her to become heavily involved in her union and the NDP party. She cared for and nurtured all things that came her way, from flowers to birds to animals to people. Noreen’s love of family also led her to become our large clan’s genealogy expert. Noreen also loved the outdoors, enjoying hiking, swimming in the ocean and spending time at her cabin. Her real passion was gardening, which she pursued after retirement by obtaining a horticulture degree. Her garden rivaled Butchart’s with exuberant local plants and exotics that no-one else has grown in the area. She also had an adventuresome spirit, which led to worldwide travels throughout many faraway lands. Noreen leaves loving memories to be cherished by many including her husband Jim Ziegler; children Danny, Faye, Patty, Mike and Laura; four brothers, four sisters and eight grandchildren. When enjoying a flower she wanted us to think of her, as they brought such joy to her life. We are sure her mother Winnifred was waiting with open arms for her “flowersy girl”. In memory of Noreen, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society for pancreatic cancer would be greatly appreciated. You are invited to leave a message for the family at www. myalternatives.ca. The celebration of life will be Held on Saturday June 15 from 12-3pm at Pacific Inn Resort, 1160 King George Blvd., White Rock, B.C.

Joan Muriel Newman November 3, 1918 - May 11, 2013 Our Family is sad to announce the passing of Joan Muriel Newman (nee Graves) of White Rock, on Saturday May 11, 2013, at age 94. Joan was born in Portsmouth, England on November 3, 1918 the first child of Archibald Frank Graves and Jessica Victoria Graves. When Joan was a toddler, the family embarked on an adventure to a new life in Canada settling first in Vancouver. As a Manager for the Bank of Commerce (as it was then) the family transferred to various posts and lived in Kerrisdale, New Westminster, Kelowna and Kamloops. While in Kamloops, Joan completed her High School and business training. Soon after she met Claude James Newman, son of a pioneer ranching family from the Cariboo. Joan and Claude married in 1937 and settled in Kamloops where they lived for more than 50 years and raised their family of 8 children. During Joan’s life she devoted herself to the care of her big, busy family and secondly to her other passion, her beloved St. Paul’s Cathedral. She worked tirelessly for and with the Anglican Church both as a volunteer and Archivist and was instrumental in setting up the Archives of the Diocese of Cariboo. She treasured her church family and made and maintained many lifetime friends through her faith. After Claude’s death in 1989, Joan continued her life in Kamloops until family ties pulled her to White Rock in 2005. Joan was a force to be reckoned with - she was interested and interesting, keeping up with her large family as well as her many other varied interests. An avid bridge and Scrabble player and lover of language, she did daily crossword puzzles and was a voracious reader. Her tables always held countless books, she read newspapers and magazines cover to cover, and could speak intelligently on current events, politics and a wide range of topics. Mom mastered the computer in her senior years and edited several books while in her 80’s and 90’s. No rocking chair for her! She never missed an opportunity to greet someone with a smile or a helping hand, and a batch of homemade cookies. Well into her 90’s she kept up with longtime friends and made new ones. Never reluctant to share advice, she often counseled her family about how life should be lived and the proper arrangement of living room furniture! We will miss her wise counsel and her gentle nudging to “do the right thing”. Joan was predeceased by her parents, her beloved husband of more than 52 years, Claude, her sister Peg Thomas, as well as her great-grandson Austin Williamson, tragically taken from our family far too young in 2012. She is survived by her children: Claudia Williamson of Edmonton; Jim (Diana) Newman of Surrey; Don (Vesna) Newman of New York; Penny Harvie-Parker (Brad Parker) of Qualicum Beach, Mary Lou Schootman (Roel) of Boundary Bay; Lisa Peterson (Neil Hood) of Langley, Mark (Laurel Coghlin) Newman of South Surrey, Nancy Alyward (Gord) of Langley; 12 grandchildren, and numerous great grandchildren, as well as her sister and brother-in-law Pat and Walt Simms of Blind Bay, BC. We will all miss Joan, our Mom, our Guide and our beloved Matriarch more than we can say. We will strive to live with the faith, integrity and honour she so ably demonstrated by fine example. A Memorial Service and Celebration of Life will be held in White Rock at The Church of the Holy Trinity on Thursday, June 20th at 2:00 pm; and prayers offered at St. Paul’s Cathedral in Kamloops. If so desired, contributions may be made to Covenant House in Joan’s name.

Rest in Peace Mom.

TRUCKS & VANS

You can't seem to focus on one thing for very long this week, Scorpio. You might have to spend a few days clearing your mind before you can refocus on the tasks at hand.

GEMINI

SAGITTARIUS

Gemini, just when things seem hopeless, a small ray of light shines through and you find a solution to your problem. Scorpio has some wise words, so listen up.

Sagittarius, you are not one to let an obstacle block you from your goal. Rethink your strategy and you will soon find yourself back on the path to success.

CANCER

CAPRICORN

Cancer, once you think you have all of the answers, something pops up to make you reassess a situation. It could take a few days for you to find the answer you're looking for.

Capricorn, changes at home are in store and you may be feeling both excited and anxious at the same time. This is perfectly understandable as you await the news.

OFFICE/RETAIL A1 AUTO LOANS. Good, Bad or No Credit - No problem. We help with rebuilding credit & also offer a first time buyer program. Call 1-855-957-7755.

Leo, you may have fun in the sun on your mind, but others are urging you to buckle down and focus on some tasks that need to get wrapped up before you leave.

There are some changes coming at work, Virgo. You just don't know if they will be to your advantage or be something that could tilt you off your axis.

AQUARIUS

Aquarius, vacation plans may have been elusive until now, but you finally have the funds and the time to take the trip you desire. Your traveling partner is still up in the air.

PISCES

Pisces, a new season inspires you to make changes and reconsider old relationships. Call it a late spring cleaning of your life.
