Interurban Railcar 1225 begins first regular run in 50 years

he Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society pulled out all the stops this past weekend. After an official opening on Saturday at the replica Cloverdale Station, restored interurban railcar 1225 began its first full day of operations since the BC Electric Railway shut down in the 1950s. It’s a day the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society, volunteers, their supporters and sponsors have waited for close to a decade. Fifty-seven passengers boarded the railcar for the first of six round trips from Cloverdale to Sullivan Station, where the car had been restored. Passenger runs of BCER 1225 will operate on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays up to Thanksgiving. For info, visit www.fvhrs.org

A White Rock man has been arrested in connection with 12 armed robberies that targeted ATM customers across the Semiahmoo Peninsula. Police announced Tuesday that Travis Jensen-Pickford, 23, was arrested on June 15 and charged with 12 counts of robbery with a weapon, 12 counts of using an imitation firearm in commission of an offence and 12 counts of disguise with intent. The arrest occurred without incident at a White Rock home on Blackwood Street, on the same day as one of the 12 robberies. “In some cases, desperate individuals are actually welcoming an arrest,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet. “Our investigators believe this was the case.” The holdups took place over 35 days in White Rock and Surrey, beginning on May 12. All but two took place on the Peninsula – one in Newton and another near 186 Street and Fraser Highway. In each instance, a victim was approached by an armed masked man while withdrawing money from an ATM during non-banking hours. The robber’s choice of disguise led to police referring to him as the “surgical mask bandit.” Earlier this month, in an effort

to help police identify and capture the man behind the mask, the Canadian Bankers Association announced a $10,000 reward. Paquet said it does not appear the reward played a role in the arrest. “We’re still looking to see if tips from the public were key in apprehending this individual,” he said. If any tip is identified as playing a central role, that information will be provided to the CBA, Paquet said. The 10-day delay in announcing the arrest was attributed to police workload. “We’ve just been really, really busy,” Paquet said. “We wanted to let the public know about this arrest earlier, but other urgent issues prevented us from doing so.” Jensen-Pickford remains in custody and is due back in Surrey Provincial Court on July 3.

Senate ‘guts’ MP’s bill Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Conservative MP Russ Hiebert is crying foul after the Canadian Senate voted Wednesday to amend his private member’s bill calling for greater transparency and disclosure of union finances through the Income Tax Act. The Senate has sent the bill back

to the House of Commons for reconsideration. “The... amendments adopted by the Senate today have the effect of gutting (Bill) C-377, as the bill would now only apply to unions with more than 50,000 members,” the South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP said in a news release. › see page 4

that the rail line that once transported passengers is still in place. Used by Southern Railway for freight, most of the Surrey portion, which runs through Newton, Kennedy and South Westminster, could potentially handle commuter trains. The portion east of Cloverdale is used by trains bound to and from Roberts Bank and it would be very difficult to put commuter trains there. The new Cloverdale station, where passengers board the interurban, is marvelous. It is an accurate replica of the original station which stood on that site. Longtime FVRHS volunteer Alan Aubert, an architect, ensured that it was as close to authentic as possible. The station was built through generous donations from a number of companies. One sad note. It is too bad that longtime BCER motorman Frank Horne and former tourism minister Bill Reid weren’t here to see the project come to fruition. Both died in the past year, and both were enthusiastic backers of the project who saw its potential. Whether or not there is ever a commuter service on the former BCER tracks, it is wonderful to see restored interurban car 1225, in its bright colours, going along the track with a happy group of passengers. It is a reminder of just how good transit service was 100 years ago in Surrey. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

Pilot-project potential for residential chickens, says Surrey councillor/MLA

Hunt predicts backyard birds to take off Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A Surrey councillor thinks a South Surrey woman is hatching a good plan by aiming to create a pilot project allowing chickens on small residential lots. Kate McMaster has been working with the city to change a bylaw – restricting the ownership of chickens to properties one acre or larger – since March, with the hopes of legalizing ownership of small-lot

flocks, like the one she has on her quarter-acre lot. Coun. Marvin Hunt said he’s impressed with McMaster’s plans. “She actually has a very nice looking coop,” Hunt told Black Press. “It fits well into the neighbourhood. She’s even talking about the different setbacks, wanting to do a 10-property pilot for this.” As reported in Tuesday’s Peace Arch News, McMaster, a longtime South Surrey resident, found out

about the restrictions this year after bringing three hens – two Ameraucanas and an Australorp – home from a friend’s farm in Langley. “Someone mentioned that they thought it was only legal to have chickens on acre lots,” she said. “So I emailed city council right away to ask for permission to have these hens, because I didn’t want to do something illegal.” Hunt – who is now also the MLA for Surrey-Panorama – was the

only councillor who responded. “I think it has potential, because she’s really working at doing a good job,” Hunt said. “I think what you might see is a pilot of 10 (sites) and it be evaluated in a year or so.” Hunt said noise will not be an issue, because hens are quiet and roosters will not be allowed. In addition to that, there would be a maximum of six chickens allowed, he said. – with files from Sarah Massah

Coal shipments opposed by White Rock council

City grills Surrey Fraser Docks CEO Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

With or without a new coal-export terminal, rail traffic through the Semiahmoo Peninsula is destined to increase, White Rock council heard Monday. “If it’s not going to be coal, it is going to be something,” said Jeff Scott, president and chief executive officer of Fraser Surrey Docks. “The unfortunate reality is there’s just no other… readily available energy source.” Scott was invited by the city to speak about Fraser Surrey Docks’ application to build a new coal-export terminal, which would bring in thermal coal from Wyoming via the BNSF railway that runs through communities including White Rock, South Surrey and Delta. Coal-train traffic from Fraser Surrey Docks would jump to two trains per day from one – by approximately 320 loaded trains per year – and create 50 jobs if the project is approved, Scott said. The coal handled would be destined for Asian countries; in particular Korea, but also Japan and China. But without assurances that dust from the trains is not a health hazard to residents and will be properly mitigated, it’s a move the City of White Rock does not support, Mayor Wayne Baldwin told Peace Arch News after the meeting. “We want to know what is happening with that dust, does it occur” and can it be miti-

An inquest into the March 2011 police shooting death of 28-year-old Adam Brian Purdie in Surrey was expected to wrap up yesterday (Wednesday) or early this morning in Burnaby. Since Monday, presiding coroner Tara Devine and a jury have been hearing from police – including the officer who killed Purdie – and other witnesses regarding the circumstances surrounding the death. An external investigation by Saanich Police had previously cleared Const. Peter Neily of any wrongdoing Adam Purdie in connection with the Surrey died in shootout man’s death. Purdie was killed after catching the attention of officers in South Surrey, who spotted a rifle in the backseat of his white Chrysler 300 during a late-night traffic stop in the 15400-block of 16 Avenue. Purdie fled that scene but was soon intercepted near King George Boulevard and Highway 10. There, Neily – a former media spokesperson for the Surrey detachment – used his patrol car to pin Purdie’s vehicle, and fired 30 rounds in his direction after Purdie pointed a .22-calibre rifle at him, the investigation determined. While Purdie was also found to have self-inflicted gunshot wounds, an autopsy determined a shot to his upper chest killed him. “(Under the Criminal Code,) the officer has the right to use as much force as he sees necessary to prevent his own injury or death,” Saanich Police spokesperson Sgt. Dean Jantzen said following the investigation. “One thing (the officer) was very clear with our investigators about is he realized he was going to die.” Through the inquest, the jury cannot make findings of legal responsibility but may make recommendations aimed at preventing similar deaths. – Tracy Holmes

66 condoms of cocaine swallowed

‘Bad news’ for drug mule Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A B.C. court of appeal decision earlier this month is bad news for a man who pleaded guilty to swallowing 66 cocaine-filled condoms. Ricardo Vasquez had been set to learn his fate Wednesday in Surrey Provincial Court for the September 2012 smuggling attempt.

Instead, Judge James Sutherland postponed imposing a penalty, citing a June 14 Court of Appeal decision that changes how he must calculate credit for pre-trial custody. “It’s not good for my client, it’s not good at all,” defense counsel Evi dos Santos told Peace Arch News, explaining the change reduces the credit for time served

to one-for-one from time-anda-half. Vasquez has been in custody since Sept. 7, after border guards at the Pacific Highway crossing in South Surrey became suspicious of information provided by Vasquez, who was a passenger on a northbound bus. Vasquez is scheduled to return to court on July 5.

Overwhelming opposition: Cowan › from page 1 Hiebert said “unjustified” amendments that make the bill apply to only “a handful” of the biggest unions “completely undermines the principle that transparency should apply to all labour organizations, equally.” Senate opposition leader Senator James Cowan said in a release that the amendments, which raise the disclosure threshold of union salaries from $10,000 to $444,661, bring the bill in line with disclosure thresholds proposed for a number of Crown corporations.

Child-porn charges against White Rock senior

Trial set for former teacher A former Semiahmoo Peninsula teacher accused of possessing and accessing child pornography will go to trial on the charges early next year. According to court records, the case against White Rock senior George Heinz Kraus is scheduled to be heard in Surrey Provincial Court from Jan. 7-10. The charges against Kraus date

back to Jan. 1, 2010 (accessing) and June 27, 2012 (possession). Trial dates were set following a court appearance June 17. Staff Sgt. Bev Csikos told Peace Arch News in February that officers with the Integrated Child Exploitation unit executed a search warrant on a White Rock home a year ago today (June 27), following a tip “suggesting (the

accused) was in possession of child-pornography material.” The tip came from another agency and a police investigation in another jurisdiction is ongoing, Csikos said. Kraus taught at White Rock Elementary for 13 years and was in his second year at Laronde Elementary when he resigned in 2005. - Tracy Holmes

Canadians revel in precious vacation time

he Canadian dollar is sinking. Gas prices have been going up for the past month. Banks are making noise about raising mortgage rates. The housing market is cooling. The weather seems changeable on the hour. It must be summer. This coming Canada Day holiday weekend is the traditional start of much-anticipated vacation season. Time to get away from it all. And with the ever-increasing gloom and doom that seems to drain our optimism and energy at a quickening pace, it’s never been more imperative to tune out and step back. At least for a stretch. Getting away from the workplace, turning down the business of our lives is an important change to our often fast-paced routine. It reduces anxiety and stress, allows us a chance to relax and recharge, maybe even refocus. Holidays make for happier, more motivated employees. But Canadian holiday entitlements lag behind those enjoyed by workers in many other countries. We get a minimum of 10 working days off depending on the province and tenure of employment. That’s supplemented by five to 10 public statutory holidays, like Canada Day. Australian workers get 20 working days off, plus 10 paid public holidays. Brazilians enjoy 22 working days off, plus a 33 per cent premium on top of what they’re normally paid. Workers in Denmark get 25 work days off, plus an additional nine public holidays. German workers get four weeks off, plus nine to 13 public holidays. In Finland, the minimum mandated holiday time is 30 days. Even workers in developing countries like India are granted 12 work days a year for holiday. But in the United States, there’s absolutely no legal provision for mandated holiday time. Our neighbours to the south are completely at the mercy of their employer. Canadians may not feel we get enough holiday, but at least we get something.

of fuel to keep me on the road while I’m there. That is not cheap, and is obviously cause for the infrequency. And along the way, there are stores and cafes and gas stations that don’t see my discretionary spending. Not that my jaunts have taken a southerly turn either. Only twice since 9/11 have I crossed the U.S. border. “Stay-cation” has become the financial watchword in my recent vocabulary, though it is not always appreciated in our household, particularly when I suggest I sneak off for the weekend to a somewhat nearby lake (it’s only a tank of gas there and back, I offer in justification). The hour or so at the ferry terminal convinced me that I should change my interior forays to one that is waterborne on a vessel that is considerably larger than an aluminum fishing boat. After all, I grew up on the Island and know some great haunts that are long overdue for a trip down memory lane. Of course, with my pecuniary nature these days, like the kids I saw walking off the ferry, the accommodations might be a tent. On the other hand, perhaps I’d be more comfortable just staying at home listening to the lyrics of Gary Fjellgard’s Somewhere on the Island.

Looking for leadership Editor: Re: White Rock to take over water supply, June 13. My hat’s off to the mayor and council for their decision to attempt to re-municipalize the water supply. Given that Epcor has been making money simply by being the facilitator of what many consider a public good, and that, even though the decision to privatize the system may have looked favourable when it was made, a move back to “owning” our water and controlling how it is delivered will simply be better for the city in the long run. The city and its taxpayers should never have had to subsidize a private company to deliver what is already essentially ours. As much as Epcor may not be interested in selling their stake in our water, it is essential that the owners of the water – all the citizens and stakeholders of White Rock – maintain control of a public good for the betterment of our city over the long term. If connecting to the already existing regional water system is the best option, pursue it. I guess what I’m ultimately looking for is leadership – the ability to move forward, act progressively and in the best interests of the city. Telling me “we tried” or that Epcor “wasn’t interested” simply isn’t enough, and exactly the opposite of what we should expect and demand from our elected representatives. Graham Wood, White Rock n Wouldn’t it make sense to bring money back into our city, along with better quality water and higher maintenance standards, through buying back control of White Rock water from Epcor? We would then have access to information concerning what is actually being done with White Rock water fees. Not so, as it stands today. Would there not be a better chance of addressing high arsenic levels and preventing further bacterial contamination, if we took back the reins of power? Admittedly, it is cheaper to just chlorinate instead of ensuring proper maintenance of pipes and reservoirs, but chlorine has been proven to be carcinogenic. It may sound costly to buy back, but ultimately, White Rock will save money and get superior service. There are reasons why many

European cities are buying back ownership of their water services. I sincerely hope the mayor and council will embrace White Rock taking back control of its water, so that we, the residents, receive the service and quality we pay for. R.L. Kirkpatrick, White Rock

Reluctant request To whom it may concern. I take full responsibility for not being more careful and leaving my car window partly open, which was parked on George Street the week of June 17. However, that didn’t mean that entitled you to take the bag that was not yours to take. I don’t think there was anything that would interest you, except my camera, which has photographs that mean more to me than you.

I guess this is where I ask you to be so kind as to mail the chip to the Peace Arch News or the local police station. My problem is, does this mean I am now rewarding you for taking the camera in the first place? Do I really have to treat you like a nice, kind person and request you do this one thing for me? To be honest, I would really like my camera back, too. It’s not a super new one, but I happen to like it. I will, though, settle for the chip. One more thing; karma happens. Brenda Dedrick, Ladysmith

No complaints from patient Editor: I am writing this letter primarily for the citizens of British Columbia who, for one reason or other, seem to take some satisfaction or delight

in criticizing our health-care system. On March 27, upon visiting my surgeon, it was determined I had bladder cancer and an operation was urgently required. This was confirmed by a CT-scan April 3. By May 27, I was in the operating room at Peace Arch Hospital. I can truly say how pleased I was with the outcome, thanks to Drs. Peter Skepasts and Herman Kwan, with lots of kind words and support from Nicky. This was a major fivehour operation, with two hours in the recovery room and I was on my feet the next day. I cannot have enough praise for the staff at the Peace Arch Hospital. The nurses were truly angels, namely Debbie, Karen, Preeti and Martini. Also many thanks to Margaret Chalk, who had the patience of Job. Thank you, Martini, who sat in on her first operation, and then made sure she came to see me every day. The food was pretty good, too. Allan Roy Monkhouse, Langley

The family of former HandyDart driver Richard Morrison – now a client – meets with Man in Motion Rick Hansen.

Left stranded in our wheelchairs Editor: Re: HandyDart riders feel left behind, June 13. This letter is being written as a plea to TransLink and HandyDart to reconsider their plan to contract service to taxis and lay off some drivers. I am in a position to understand this situation from two sides – first, as a HandyDart driver, and now as a client. For seven years, I proudly worked beside co-workers and managers in an effort to provide transportation services to those in need. I know these people and know they do their jobs with the clients’ best interests in mind. Now, after an accident last year that left me paralyzed, I am an aforementioned client. I understand the seven-day reservation period. I also understand the need to occasionally call for a wheelchair taxi, when a Dart is unavailable. Often a person doesn’t know seven days in advance what they are going to be doing. When this happens and we are unable to get a

ride through HandyDart, we need to call a taxi. I personally have been in this situation, more than once. One example, I was still staying at G.F. Strong Rehabilitation Centre, but was home for the afternoon for my wife’s birthday. We decided to go out for lunch, with my return ride to hospital scheduled for 7 p.m. After lunch, I called for a wheelchair taxi and was told there are few wheelchair taxis available in the Langley/ White Rock area. As we waited at the restaurant for 3½ hours for a taxi to take us back to our home, I started needing medical attention required back at G.F. Strong. I did not know if I would make it in time for my ride back. As there are so few wheelchair taxis in this area – and now to be used more often by HandyDart – those clients needing one for emergencies will simply be out of luck. I implore TransLink to reconsider this plan and hire more drivers, as the service is still so desperately needed. Richard Morrison, Surrey

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Listing of events scheduled for holiday long weekend

Lots of Canada Day fun set for Peninsula Alex Browne

Staff Reporter

here’s plenty of opportunity to kick up your heels for Canada’s 146th birthday this Monday (July 1), with major events planned in both White Rock – Canada Day by the Bay – and in Surrey, where the city’s huge Canada Day party will take place in Cloverdale.

Cloverdale concert In Cloverdale, celebrations will take a patriotic trip back to the ’80s as rock legends Platinum Blonde headline an all-Canadian lineup at at Cloverdale’s Millennium Amphitheatre (176 Street and 64 Avenue). The performance is part of a day-long free community party, including amusement rides, concessions and a business and community expo, expected to draw thousands. Gates open at 10 a.m. and festivities wind down more than 12 hours later with a fireworks display (10:15 p.m.) and music by DJs Jay Swing and Flipout. Official opening ceremonies with Mayor Dianne Watts will be held at 1:30 p.m., and seniors are invited to join the mayor and council for the annual Strawberry Tea (noon to 3 p.m.) at the Cloverdale Recreation Centre (6188 176 St.). Surrey band Good for Grapes will also bring their signature “folk stomp” energy to stage at 3:30 p.m., followed by local poprock duo Dear Rouge (Drew and Danielle McTaggart) at 4:30 p.m. Country fans will be entertained by singer Crystal Shawanda (5:30 p.m.), while cover band Aerosmith Rocks will bring back memories at 6:30 p.m. Also headlining is the Toronto-based indiepunk band Sloan (7:30 p.m.), with music from its 20-year, 10-album tenure. Juno Award-winning Platinum Blonde – who rocketed to stardom three decades ago with hits like Doesn’t Really Matter and Standing in the Dark – will wrap up the live entertainment with a set beginning at 9 p.m., just after the singing of the national anthem at 8:55 p.m., led by ‘Mr. O Canada’ Mark Donnelly. Kids’ performers, including Norman Foote, will also entertain throughout the day, as will the Surrey Celebration Dance Team and many other performers, including 14 year-old rising star Cole Armour, the Korean National Farmers Band and Tight Rope Walker. Parking is available at Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino (enter off 60 Avenue) and at the Cloverdale Agriplex (enter off 176 Street at 62 Avenue) and extra buses will be in service to the King George Skytrain station following the fireworks finale. For more, visit www.surrey.ca/canadaday

But there’s also plenty to do during the day – particularly for families – on East Beach, where the Kids Zone will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. featuring children’s sandcastle building (10 a.m. to 1 p.m.), bouncy castles, Sea Star Face Painting by Jennifer Healy and Korki the Clown. A free shuttle will run to and from East Beach and West Beach from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. from Centennial Arena. In addition people will be able to access both West Beach and East Beach with the weekend’s advent of summerlong free ‘trolley’ service presented by Tourism White Rock and the White Rock Business Improvement Association, and co-sponsored by many local businesses including Peace Arch News. On Canada Day, the trolley will run every hour from the uptown business district at Central Plaza, through Five Corners and to the beach from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Charity golf Last month’s HomeLife Charity Golf Classic – the 12th annual – was held last month at Surrey’s Northview Golf and Country Club, and raised $45,000 for Canuck Place Children’s Hospice. Money raised from the event, held May 24, will be combined with funds raised at the upcoming Ride 4 Hope, a 200-km cycling trek from Hope to Morgan Crossing in South Surrey. The ride is schedule for July 10, and features many Canuck alumni among the riders. Canuck Place Children’s Hospice provides specialized pediatric palliative care for children living with life-threatening illnesses and support for their families.

Legion donation The Royal Canadian Legion Branch #240 donated $11,000 towards the purchase of a speciality TheraKair mattress for Peace Arch Hospital. The funds were raised for the specialized mattress – which increases patient

A community meeting to talk about longboarding is set for 6:30-8 p.m. tonight (Thursday) at Sunnyside Hall. Surrey RCMP, city officials and guests will be speaking at the public safety and information event. A notice advising of the meeting invites those interested to “join the discussion and hear from the longboarding community and city officials about compliance and safety, while learning valuable information about the sport itself.” The issue has been a hot one of late in White Rock, where a push is on to change the city’s Street and Traffic Bylaw to ease restrictions on long- and skateboarding. Sunnyside Hall is located in Bakerview Park, at 1845 154 St. To RSVP, call 778593-3550 or email susan. caley@rcmp-grc.gc.ca

Joyce Schmalz receives lifetime achievement award

Seniors’ advocate honoured Surrey seniors’ advocate Joyce Schmalz received a lifetime achievement award from the city’s mayor and council last week. Schmalz, co-founder of the B.C.

Partnership creates natural team

Green goals set by group A four-group partnership between local park groups is working to create a natural area preservation team for youth interested in environmental issues. Sunnyside Acres Heritage Society, the White Rock and Surrey Naturalists, Green Timbers Heritage Society and the City of Surrey’s Urban Forestry and Evironmental Programs are joining together for Surrey’s Natural Areas Partnership (SNAP). The collaborative effort works on a number of initiatives including habitat restoration,

environmental outreach and education regarding the benefits of natural areas, boulevard trees and environmental stewardship. Teams of postsecondary students are involved in the group’s work, with two in charge of outreach, who go door-to-door canvassing, attend events and host nature activities. Members of SNAP can regularly be found hosting at stalls at the InSeason Market in Port Kells. For more information on SNAP, visit www. surrey.ca/culturerecreation/2013.aspx

High school students experience campus life

Prepping for post-secondary A group of Surrey high school students have been experiencing post-secondary life this spring, through a new course hosted by Simon Fraser University’s Surrey campus. The four-credit career-prep course is open to Grade 11 and 12 students at iLearn DL Secondary, an independent school at 6225 136 Street. Students learn about career options and also hear from professionals from a variety of industries. Besides classroom work, they undertake 30 hours of community volunteer work. “I wanted to create a course that would assist students as they explore their careers to show them just how wide open the possibilities are,” said Saima Naz, the school’s principal. The idea took root

for a way to create this opportunity and since this is my field of practice, I was excited to team up with her on this course,” said Lagman. The two approached the university to host the weekly sessions, and the program grew from there. SFU staff also give presentations focusing on recruitment, student life and financial aid.

Retired teachers create program to build stronger bond for learning

Focusing on parent partnerships Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

Two retired teachers aim to improve the learning experience for children with a comprehensive program they’ve designed for parents. Crescent Beach resident Gloria Gustafson and fellow retired teacher Bev DeMonyé created Partners in Learning to be used collaboratively between parents, teachers and children. Through a series of handouts, the longtime teachers aim to form a stronger bond between parents and their children’s learning experience. “What Gloria and I have found in all our years of experience is that if parents have a little bit of information, if they know they should be involved and if they know how to do it, it makes the world of difference,” DeMonyé said. “Parents are the untapped potential of support.” In the handouts, topics range from reading to children at an early stage to preventing “the summer slide” by continuing

But one of the things the literature focuses on are the three things you should know about reading to kids,” DeMonyé said. “We call it the talk that surrounds the text, so you talk to the kids while read-

ing, before reading and after they read. “Tell them why you picked the book.” Each handout includes simple steps that can be integrated into everyday life, Gustafson said, noting that, so far, district subscriptions have been sold to Vernon, New Westminster and a small group of schools in

Vancouver and the Okanagan. “It would be wonderful to be able to sell Surrey a district subscription,” she said. The duo aims to expand through social media and garner more awareness on their program with the final goal to have it implemented throughout the province. “This little tiny bit of help can make all the difference,” Gustafson said. “If they don’t get on the right track in Kindergarten and Grade 1, then it’s a downward spiral, academically and socially.” By encouraging more parent involvement throughout the child’s early years, the number of students who require extra help will reduce, allowing resources to be allocated to the individuals who need it the most, DeMonyé added. “There are so many kids with diverse needs and it’s difficult for a classroom teacher. Any help is always welcome.” For more information on the handouts, visit www.readwritewithkids.com

Bus travel is still the safest mode of travel for your vacation. In the past 6 months, we have heard of several serious accidents involving buses. Since this is our lively hood, it concerns us deeply to hear of accidents involving tour buses, especially when people are injured. When you are looking into a tour on a coach, don’t be afraid to ask if the bus has lap belts. Most new buses are coming from the factory with lap belts already installed. Several bus companies are taking it upon themselves to install them in the older coaches. Some of the smaller bus companies do try and cut corners to be competitive and lap belts are not on their priority list or bus maintenance. Several of the larger tour operators also insist on using newer coaches to avoid break downs on the highway.

uestion: I am an unmarried sixteen year old and have been seriously abused by both my parents over my whole life. I was removed from their home and placed in foster care when I was 11. My uncle died and left me quite a bit of money and I want to make a will so that if I am “hit by a bus” my parents would get none of my money because it would disappear for drugs. How do I go about this?

nswer: You can’t. Until March 31, 2014 you do not have the power to make a will because you are under 19. Next year’s new legislation lowers the age that you can write a will to 16. So, at the present time, if you die your whole estate goes to your parents. NEW CLIENTS WELCOME

On the opposite side of my mantle sits my antique Venetian goblet, which is at least two centuries old. Its opaque, milky veneer is interlaced with indelible dirt, which no amount of cleaning can erase. Not that I wish the patina to be erased, as therein lies the story of this beautiful object. I am convinced it touched the currant-stained lips of a voluptuous courtesan as she flirted with yet another one of her paramours. To think that it survived the frivolity of yet another moonlit evening on the Grand Canal in Venice. As Zoomers – longing to rid ourselves of our weighty possessions to “gain a space in which to live” – let us not view them as merely objects with a price tag attached to them but rather a rich, story-filled tapestry of lives lived, which ultimately gives meaning to our own. I am confident there is an elderly man out there, recently reunited with his cherished bike, who might agree.

encourages students to become active participants in the learning process. It was during the past semester that I had the chance to be enrolled in a specific political science class, at SFU Surrey, in which the professor, upon a student’s suggestion, designated a portion of class time for debate. At times, the debates became heated; they also encouraged students to engage in dialogue and bring their external knowledge to the classroom. Such conversations encourage a student to cognitively categorize different topics to support a viewpoint and dissect its meaning. The professor guides the trajectory of the discussion and summarizes the main points at the end of class. In order to demonstrate to students that knowledge transcends the lecture hall, we must encourage this type of critical analysis. Failing to do this, our classrooms remain in a state of stagnancy and they focus on rote learning. Empowering students to collectively question the world and find the solutions for global improvement through critical thinking should be at the forefront of education. Japreet Lehal writes monthly for Peace Arch News on youth issues.

Youth camps held July and August

Spend summer with BC SPCA There’s still time to sign the kids up for summer youth camps offered by the BC SPCA in Surrey and beyond. The camps run in July and August, offering the young animallover in your life a fun, informative way to make new friends and learn how to care for animals. Campers will play animal-themed games, make crafts, meet animal experts and welcome guest speakers, including the Vancouver Police Dog Squad, Walks ‘n’ Wags Pet First Aid and the Hancock Wildlife Foundation, depending on the location. For an hour each day,

campers will interact with friendly cats and small animals, along with some lovable dogs belonging to BC SPCA staff members. In Surrey, there’s a camp for kids aged six and seven from July 2 to 5. Camps for children aged eight to 11 are planned for July 8 to 12, July 15 to 19 and from July 22 to 26. Those camps run from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. Cost is $175 or $160 with a BC SPCA Kids Club membership. Leadership camps for youth born between 1999 and 2001 will also be held in Vancouver. Register online at www.support.spca. bc.ca/site/calendar.

Toast of the town Toastmasters by the Sea is inviting people of all ages to join the club to improve communication skills.

Parents coping with sudden illness of seven-year-old daughter

Fundraiser organized to support Surrey family Sheila Reynolds Black Press

It’s as if it happened overnight. One day, Alivia Code was a healthy little girl who loves music and crafts, and the next, she was dazed and unresponsive. Alivia, a smart “girly-girl”, was walking to school with her mom last September. Early in the school year, she had only just started Grade 1 at Surrey’s William F. Davidson Elementary. As they approached the school, Alivia suddenly began walking in a circle, gazing up at the sky. Unsure what she was doing, her mom said her name several times, trying to get her attention. Alivia didn’t respond. A trip to the hospital resulted in a battery of tests and it was soon confirmed Alivia had suffered a seizure. It was her first, but there were many, many more to come. A scan showed she had inflammation on the left side of her brain, and eventually, doctors reached a diagnosis. Seven-year-old Alivia, her parents were told, had Rasmussen’s Encephalitis, a rare form of chronic inflammation of one hemisphere of the brain. There is no known cause, but it occurs most often in children and is estimated to strike only one in every half-million to a million people. “It was almost like she was

Surrey seven-year-old Alivia Code was diagnosed with Rasmussen’s Encephalitis last September. fine one day, and then not the next,” said her grandma, Karleen Sabourin. “This child is a very intelligent, happy child – full of spirit.” Over the following months, between doctor’s visits, Alivia began to display the fast-

progressing symptoms of the disease: brain injury, loss of speech and partial loss of the ability to use her right arm. She can walk, but with a limp and a brace on her right leg. Now seven years old, she’s faced multiple treatments and been on

a steady stream of medications. Since April, due to complications from the disease and drug therapy, Alivia has been in B.C. Children’s Hospital. On Wednesday, she underwent an eight-hour brain surgery. It’s hoped the operation, called

Functional Hemispherectomy, will ease the the seizures, which she now has between 10 and 12 times an hour. Because someone has to be with her 24 hours a day, her dad, the sole income earner for the family, took a leave of absence from his work as a security guard in May to spend time with Alivia and his wife. That, says Sabourin, has made an already heart-wrenching situation a financially stressful one for the family. The couple doesn’t even own a car, so they either take transit to the hospital daily or hitch a ride with someone. “Dad was working and then going to the hospital at night,” said Sabourin. “Then I told him ‘okay, you need to take this time.’ It’s been very difficult for them. “ To help them out with their basic needs, she’s planning a fundraiser on June 29 at Jimy Mac’s Pub in Langley (19935 96 Ave.). Tickets are $20 and include a burger and drink, silent auction and raffle. Contributions are still being accepted for the auction and advance tickets are available by calling Karleen at 604-767-3831 or Theresa at 604-534-5305. A trust fund has also been set up at the CIBC at 20069 64 Ave. Contributions can be made to Alivia Code In Trust.

Ad firm refuses to sell space to campaigners

Pot-reform advocates denied signed up in the first round. They, in turn, are working phone banks and hitting up summer festivals, farmers’ markets and other outdoor events to find more recruits. “It’s by no means guaranteed,” Larsen said, noting only the Fight HST initiative ever reached the referendum stage. “It’s a very, very challenging campaign.” Larsen said one obstacle is the stigma of pot reform, despite a high-profile group of supporters that include public health officers and former attorneys-general. “People are afraid of being judged for supporting our issue,” he said.

Marijuana reform campaigners say they’ve been denied billboard advertising space with B.C.’s biggest outdoor ad firm in the key months leading up to their signature drive to force a provincial referendum. Sensible BC director Dana Larsen said Pattison Outdoors has refused to sell the pot decriminalization campaign billboards in areas such as Surrey, Vancouver, File photo Burnaby, Delta, Langley and the Marijuana billboard in West Van.

New pipeline THE LEADER - 1/2 Page Vertical route released

Grant Wilson CFP®

TEED GUARAUNLTS! RES

Jeff Nagel Black Press

Kinder Morgan has opted to bypass developed neighbourhoods of north Surrey where its existing oil pipeline runs in favour of a new route for its proposed twin – along the Fraser River next to the new South Fraser Perimeter Road. While the route choice allows Trans Mountain pipeline planners to dodge possible conflict with thousands of homeowners who live near the current line, it’s likely to mean sharper focus on the environmental risk of a

rupture that could send heavy crude oil into the river. The map of the study corridor through Surrey was unveiled Friday, following a rollout of similar local details last week for Langley, Abbotsford and Chilliwack. The completed $5.4-billion pipeline twinning, if approved, would carry 890,000 barrels of oil per day – triple the current capacity – with most of the increase consisting of diluted bitumen for export via tankers through Burrard Inlet.

Twinned pipeline to avoid homes › from page 30 pipeline to Burnaby’s Westridge Terminal would closely follow its 60-year-old predecessor through most of the Fraser Valley, it breaks with the past at about 224 Street in Langley, cutting north just after Fort Langley beside the meandering Salmon River to reach the CN Rail line. The detour would allow construction crews to avoid the Walnut Grove neighbourhood that has sprung up since the original pipeline was built. From there, the new route runs west along the rail line and the South Fraser Perimeter Road through Surrey to a new tunneled crossing of the Fraser River downstream of the Port Mann Bridge. Along the way it would tread along the edge of newly created Surrey Bend Regional Park and past industrial properties in Port Kells. But few homeowners would be affected. “A lot has changed in the last 60 years,” said Greg Toth, senior project director for the Trans Mountain expansion project. “Following the existing pipeline is not practical.” So much has changed that even the old Port Mann Bridge and the section of Highway 1 approaching it in Surrey did not exist when the original line was built from northern Alberta in 1952.

Green band along South Fraser Perimeter Road shows proposed corridor for the new Kinder Morgan pipeline through Surrey. proposed north of the Fraser – that was revealed today (June 27).33 But the Surrey map suggests it won’t go through residential yards in Coquitlam, either. Instead of running through Coquitlam’s Wildwood Mobile Home park and then to the north, as the existing pipe does, the preferred new route would run from Cape Horn west along the CP Rail line, with two alternate routes toward Burnaby identified as the Highway 1 and Lougheed Highway corridors. The company has identified two possible routes across the Fraser between the Port Mann and Pattullo Bridges. In the event of an earthquake,

Toth said models suggest both banks of the river will “flow towards the middle.” Asked what safeguards the company proposes against an oil spill into the river from a pipeline perched on the bank, Toth said thicker pipe is an option near the river as well as more closely spaced valves that allow an emergency shutdown of the pipeline. “We will optimize the locations of the valves to minimize the potential spill volume.” He said the company has multiple methods to monitor and maintain the pipeline and has emergency responders based in Burnaby, trained for both land and water spills.

An easy care yard

If you think that easy care yards can’t be as beautiful as those that require lots of work, then think again! This type of garden is perfect for busy people or for those who hate cutting grass,watering, pruning, and weeding but who would still love to have a magnificent property. Low maintenance is the perfect solution for disabled people, seniors, and twocareer families. Best of all, an easy care yard allows you to go on vacation without having to worry about your precious plants! A good example of this type of yard is one composed primarily of attractive gravel and rocks in which droughttolerant plants are grown. Just a few plants, such as lavender and thyme, are sufficient to create a stunning effect. There is no need to spend hours after work and on weekends tending to the

backyard, as care is limited to a bit of pruning now and then in order to control growth.

Weeds are not a problem if the layer of gravel is thick enough, and a weed-free future is even more likely if you take the time to install a geo-textile weed barrier before laying the gravel. When you want to plant, just push aside some gravel and cut a hole in the weed barrier with a sharp knife. Of course, you will want to opt for hardy species that won’t constantly attract unwanted insects. Even if you don’t have very much space, it is still possible to create an easy care yard that is visually pleasing. Potted plants can be placed in strategic spots around the yard and can be brought inside during winter, if the species permits. You could, for example, create a grouping of echeveria in a container or two. This plant loves full sun and can survive very well all on its own, with only a bit of appreciation from its owner!

Well-known White Rock multi-talent Tom Saunders has a new accolade. The singer/composer/ writer/humourist (each year he supplies the special lyrics for the White Rock Pantomime song The Wonderful Year We Fell In Love) is now the recipient of a 2013 Chocolate Lily Young Readers’ Choice Award for best picture book, for I Want To Go To The Moon. The award, which each year honours the best children’s writers and illustrators in B.C., is based on votes from grade-school students. Children from kindergarten to Grade 3 across B.C. voted I Want To Go To The Moon ahead of its competition for the award, which was presented June 13 at a ceremony at Heath Elementary in Delta. I Want To Go To The Moon, illustrated by Vancouver artist Cynthia Nugent, is based on a song written by Saunders that imagines the early life of NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong, who in 1969, became the first man to walk on the surface of the moon. The text imagines the well-meaning advice of parents and friends who believe young Neil’s goal of journeying to the moon is hopeless – with the implicit message for children that it’s best to follow your dreams and not be dissuaded. Saunders said he’s particularly pleased that the award was given on the basis of reaction from children to the book. “That’s kind of nice – it’s like the people’s choice award for little folk,” he said. “In a way, I kind of like that a touch more. It’s the intended audience, rather than someone adult looking at it analytically – or counting my spelling mistakes.” Another unexpected accolade, he said, was having the whole gym full of children at the school join him in singing the song. “They just knew it – they drowned me out on the choruses,” he said. The award, Saunders said, is “really another out-of-the-blue thing with this book – everything’s been a bonus with this thing.” He recalled his

surprise in first hearing from Nugent – who he’d met through the Vancouver Ukelele Circle – that she wanted to illustrate his song,

With one film festival under their belt, a pair of South Surrey brothers are setting their sights on Hollywood. Brandon and Jordan Willetts have returned from France’s prestigious Cannes Film Festival’s after screening their short film Mayfly at the Short Film Corner. Filmed throughout the Lower Mainland – including White Rock – the film focuses on one man’s journey on the day he finds out exactly when he’ll die. “Most of the time, no one watches the films. We were lucky there was one German businessman who watched the movie and the next day he came back and watched it again,” Jordan said. › see page 44

Thunderstruck The White Rock-South Surrey Thunder ’99 softball team is bound for provincials, after winning gold at the District 7 ‘B’ fastpitch championships earlier this month. At district championships, held June 16, the Thunder swept through the competition, outscoring their opponents 23-1 in three games. The team was without pitcher Andie Coulthard – who was sitting out due to a recent injury – but the team got strong performances from fellow pitchers Michaela Epp and Sarah Herbert en route to the district title. The win was the second big victory for the Thunder in recent weeks; two weeks before districts, the team won gold at the Acers North Classic, a tournament in Seattle. Now, the Thunder set their sights on provincial championships, which are slated for July 12-14 in Abbotsford.

Swim champs The South Surreybased Pacific Sea Wolves had a successful weekend in Victoria for the BC “AA” Championships held June 21-23.

Miljenovic added to his accomplishments with six best times. Michael Shenouda added seven bests to his gold medal win in the 200-m free, as well as three other top-eight swims, qualifying for the upcoming “AAA” championships. Thomas Robinson took home silver in both the 100- and 200-m breast, bronze in the 200-m back, notching three best times. Julia Albert, 13, who placed fifth in the 100-m back stroke and 100-m and 200-m breast. Albert rounded the weekend by swimming six of her best times. Justine Albert, 15, swam 11 bests and placed second in the 200-m breast, third in the 100-m breast and had three other top-eight swims.

Secret Ridge brings paired homes to Coquitlam

A different type of attached home Mission Group Properties is bringing a different type of home to Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain with Secret Ridge, which offers unique “paired homes.” A paired home is attached like a townhome, but is much larger and has the feel of a single-family residence. The paired homes at Secret Ridge are 35 feet wide, which is more than double the usual size of a townhome. “We gave careful consideration in the design of the homes’ layouts, with the homeowner in mind,” says Mission Group President Randall Shier. “These large duplex-style homes look, feel and act more like a single-family home, but at a very attractive price point.”

The homes have been particularly attractive to downsizers, in part because of the special features. One of those is the master-on-main layout that allows you the flexibility and convenience in the long term. One of the floorplans actually features two master suites, for those who prefer to have their own sleeping quarters or a guest space. “Homes offering wider layouts, larger sizes and most importantly, a master bedroom on the main floor is not commonly offered in Coquitlam,” says Coquitlam councillor Mae Reid. For more information about Secret Ridge, visit www.secretridge.ca or call 604-725-8126.

caretaker George Wright is sure to be part of why your every experience at your cottage getaway will be wonderful. Wright will be available to help you plant a flower garden, grow vegetables, teach you about woodworking or just sit around and have a chat. He has been one of the inspirational forces behind The Cottages at Seabright Farm, and it’s obvious to even the most casual observer how passionate he is about everything he gets involved with. “You can walk out your door and grab vegetables, herbs and fruit for dinner,” Wright says. “There’s nothing like this anywhere.” Because of both the elevation and south slope of the entire property, you’ll find a gorgeous view no matter where you purchase. The two-or-morebedroom cottages will include stone fireplaces, high ceilings, sunny window seats, hardwood flooring, relaxing

decks and covered porches. Srigley says that a family “can start with a cozy cottage and then over time, add studios or guest suites attached by breezeways, garages with lofts and potting sheds.” A circa-1895 cottage has been lovingly preserved and, along with the community barn and gardens and a swimming pool, will become Seabright Farm’s gathering place, plus a venue to hold art shows for local artists, cooking demonstrations, musical performances, and of course, wine tastings! Cottages on large ocean-view lots start at $399,000. Only 15 lots out of a total of 57 are being released this summer. For more information, visit www.seabrightfarmcottages.com or call 1-888-732-6915. A preview weekend will take place on June 29 to July 1, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and interested buyers are encouraged to pre-register online and call or email for an appointment time.

‘Point Roberts has character’

Oceanfront relaxation at The Cottages at Seabright Farm By Kerry Vital

“Look at that sunlight filtering through the trees,” says Wayne Knowles as he drives onto the property at The Cottages at Seabright Farm. “This is a once in a generation opportunity.” Knowles, the development partner for The Cottages at Seabright Farm, located in Point Roberts, is extremely excited about the project and what it means to the community. Point Roberts has long been a popular spot for Canadians, especially those from the Lower Mainland looking for a quick and easy getaway without having to deal with a long drive or a ferry. Just across the border from Tsawwassen, you’ll find a relaxing atmosphere with a charming feel, great weather and plenty of activities to keep you as busy as you want to be. “There’s so many things you can do,” says Knowles. “Or you can do nothing at all.” The Point Roberts Golf and Country Club is a full 18-hole course for when you’re in the mood to hit the links, or pay a visit to the Lighthouse Marine Park, where you can find plenty of opportunities to see orca whales, comb the beach or go clamming or crabbing. The 275-acre Lily Point Marine Reserve is just a moment down the road from The Cottages at Seabright Farm, with its sandy bluffs and tidal flats. Plus, the full-service Point Roberts Marina has over 900 slips and is just down the road. The unique restaurants and eclectic shops round out the experience. “Point Roberts has character,” Knowles says. “It’s totally authentic and small enough to be a true community.” The Cottages at Seabright Farm is located on 62 acres of direct southfacing waterfront, and the land is a rare and exceptional canvas. Vancouver award-winning visionary and design specialist Cal Srigley has been engaged to create a one-of-a-kind community. “Point Roberts has a unique landscape that shapes our designs,” Srigley states. “Ocean bluffs with long vistas, protected meadows and fields, and sun-dappled woodlands characterize the community and especially our site.” He notes that the sky, which is seemingly endless, lends character to the landscape. The cottages are based on Point Roberts’ historical summer cottages and simple farm buildings. “We also incorporated many

We grouped houses together and created intimate enclosed yards around them, freeing up much of the landscape to give the appearance of farm clusters rather than sub-division lots,” Srigly says. “The overall effect is of a small rural settlement, with open land throughout and picturesque cottages that are charming, yet simple and authentic in their detail and materials.” The Cottages at Seabright Farm are designed for family fun, whether you want to go horseback riding on one of the trails, learn something at the community barn and gardens on the property, wander the beach looking for driftwood or play board games on your deck.
