‘Massive imposition’ after neighbouring developer given wrong information

Mayor apologizes for city hall errors Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Neighbours of an under-construction strata development say mistakes made at White Rock city hall allowed it to become a “massive imposition” on area residents. In council last week, Mayor Wayne Baldwin publicly acknowledged that mistakes were made in how the project – Bishop Hill – was handled. He apologized to those

affected and promised that concerns would be addressed. “I think it’s safe to say this was not one of our finer moments,” Baldwin said, following delegations by two area residents. “We need to rectify it.” The project is under construction on nine Bishop Road lots, north of Malabar Avenue. Malabar Avenue homeowner Geoff Parkin told council residents first brought concerns

to the attention of city staff “when it was a hole in the ground,” and twice more after that. Issues include side-yard setbacks that were allowed after it was determined staff had provided the developer with inaccurate guidelines; landscape-feature walls that were built too high; and a retaining wall that has enabled the developer to build a patio for one lot that is essentially level with the top of neighbour Chris Small’s fence.

Through a slideshow, Small showed council the structure is 10 feet from his fence and six feet above grade. It’s an invasion of privacy, he said, because anyone using the deck will have a bird’s eye view into his daughter’s bedroom, his son’s bedroom and the family’s kitchen. “It’s a massive imposition into our privacy and there’s no need for it – and it’s a contravention of the bylaw,” Small said. i see page 4

Seal pups released

Young, wild and free Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Vancouver Aquarium photos

A crowd gathers at Crescent Beach Saturday as Vancouver Aquarium marine-rescue volunteers lead the release of 11 rehabilitated harbour seals.

Eleven harbour seal pups rescued from along B.C.’s coastline and rehabilitated were released back into the wild Saturday at Crescent Beach. “It was a great day,” said Lindsaye Akhurst, manager of Vancouver Aquarium’s Marine Mammal Rescue Centre. The volunteer-led event included the release of one pup – dubbed Cassiopeia – that was found on Crescent Beach in August. Most of the mammals had to be rescued due to dehydration and malnourishment, Akhurst said. Of 66 brought to the rescue centre so far this year, 35 have been nursed back to health and released, 23 remain in care and eight have died. Akhurst said another pup rescued off of White Rock beach in July was not among those given a new lease on life Saturday. Named Lynx, that youngster was released at the end of September in the Indian Arm area. Akhurst praised the role volunteers play in the rescue centre’s success. They comprised a sizable number of the more than 100 people who were on-hand for the release, and deserve credit for the extensive work they put in to facilitate the pups’ rehabilitation. “A lot of the grunt work is done by volunteers,” Akhurst said. “Our program would not be able to survive without our volunteers.”

The South Surrey development, which will be the subject of an information meeting next Tuesday, is a significant step towards making the area along 152 Street the heart of the South SurreyWhite Rock downtown. The performing arts centre is part of a city policy of developing cultural space in different parts of the city. It would be nice to see the longestablished and highly respected White Rock Players Club, which owns its own cultural facility just a few blocks down the street, be involved in some way with this new facility, if it comes to be. Co-operation between White Rock and Surrey on how best to support the arts community would also be a positive step. It’s ironic for those of us with long memories, in one respect. In 1986, a proposal to build highrises on Martin Drive, very close to this proposed development, met with stiff objections, and was eventually shelved. Twenty-seven years later, after many years of rapid growth, it doesn’t seem like such a big deal in South Surrey. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News.

Non-climbable rails considered for White Rock’s waterfront

Transport Canada extends train review Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The City of White Rock and BNSF now have until the end of the year to complete a waterfront rail-safety review requested by Transport Canada. City engineer Greg St. Louis confirmed Wednesday that a request for more time – the review was originally due Oct. 31 – was granted this week. The federal agency called for the study following the July 14 death of jogger Anita Lewis, who was struck by a passenger train while jogging across tracks in the 15600block of Marine Drive. St. Louis asked for the extension last week, citing the challenges of ensuring that all of

the parties involved have adequate time to give their input on findings and recommendations of a consultant hired to look into the issue in detail. The consultant’s report is not yet finished. Last Thursday, a preliminary walk-through of the entire waterfront track area was undertaken with the consultant and city and BNSF officials. St. Louis told Peace Arch News the tour identified gaps in the existing black handrail that separates the track from the promenade that will have to be closed; as well, paths worn by people routinely bypassing the pedestrian crossings were noted. While no conclusions have been reached, St. Louis said the discussion regarding trackside

White Rock is rethinking pedestrian safety. fencing touched on ensuring it is “not climbable.” One recommendation that may come forward is to install vertical rails, he said. He said it was interesting to learn that

guidelines regarding train whistles only require that they be sounded as the locomotives enter the waterfront area, and that if pedestrian crossings are fully protected, “per the standard, they don’t have to whistle at any crossings.” “Basically, what you want to do is direct people to the crossings and don’t provide them access in-between,” he said. “So if we fully protected the other areas and fill in the gaps with the missing handrail, technically they would not have to blow the whistle at all.” St. Louis said the issue of addressing concerns is not cut-and-dried. “Everybody wants safety, for sure, but we have to maintain the look and feel of the community, too,” he said.

Residents target towers Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Two proposed highrise condominium towers – one 26 storeys, the other 19 – are too high a price to pay for a new arts-oriented development in South Surrey. That’s the word from David Cann, president of the Semiahmoo Residents Association, who is hoping to gather as many likeminded ‘troops’ as possible to attend an information meeting

on the latest proposal – planned for property at 152 Street and 19 Avenue – which will be held Oct. 22, 4:30-8:30 p.m. at the Rotary Field House, 14600 Rotary Way. He says his group – which represents a membership of 150 people – remains adamant that allowing one highrise would be the thin end of a development wedge. He notes that land directly across 152 Street from the proposed site has also been ear-

marked for a highrise proposal. “This area has been consistently anti-highrise, going back to ’86, through two or three iterations,” he said. “Once one is built, it’s the beginning of the end.” The presentation, by architect Patrick Cotter, will include details of the condominium development, which would feature a 350seat performing arts centre and a contemporary gallery, as well as office and retail space.

Chris Small says his neighbours will be able to look into his rooms. aware of zoning changes that council authorized in April as part of the omnibus Bylaw 2000. “Apparently, there was a new requirement for retaining walls that would not have allowed them to build,” Baldwin said. “The bylaw was passed and then (the developer) came in a couple days later and staff weren’t aware the change had been made.” Asked how quickly staff are advised of such changes, he said it “should be pretty well immediate.” Baldwin cited the extensiveness of the bylaw and a “huge backlog” in such applications as possible factors behind the error. “There’s a lot of pressure on them to process them as quickly as they can,” he said. “I can only think that it’s because of the time pressure and the workload. It just got missed.” Baldwin said disciplinary steps are possible, and noted the

Bishop Hill developer is not to blame, having “only done what he’s been approved to have done.” “The developer and homeowners… both in a sense (are) victims,” the mayor said. Small told council he feels residents have “been treated as though we’re an irritant rather than concerned citizens.” Parkin described the number of staff errors on one project as “not reasonable.” “Each one of these three errors was caught by residents,” he said. “We should be able to rely on city staff to know the bylaws.” Small said Friday that options for restoring a degree of privacy – such as planting trees along the project’s southern property line – are being explored. He’s been told any legal action the city undertakes “may not change anything,” given that it was city errors that created the problem.

Staff unaware of changes: mayor i from page 1 Small told Peace Arch News last week that while the retaining wall is a focal point, a bigger concern is that a strata development has even been allowed there. The density is “very much out of context with the rest of the surrounding neighbourhood,” he said. It “has taken our singlefamily residence and basically placed us next door to the equivalent of a condo complex.” Parkin told council that each time he contacted city staff about concerns with the landscape-feature wall located along Bishop Road, he was assured it would not exceed city guidelines that capped its height at two feet. The second contact with staff was when forms for the wall were put in place and “were as tall as I am,” Parkin said. Regarding the smaller setbacks, the variance permit that allowed them for two lots immediately adjacent to Bishop Road was approved by council in January. That application was initiated by the city after staff gave the developer incorrect setback figures that were then used to design the strata’s layout. Baldwin told PAN that a planner mistakenly authorized the initial variance; it should have come before council. He said the retaining-wall issue was a result of staff not being

Crossings to get traffic lights Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Parents with children attending Semiahmoo Secondary and HT Thrift Elementary – and motorists who use 148 Street as part of their regular commute – are being asked to be extra attentive when travelling the thoroughfare in the coming weeks, as efforts get underway to install pedestrian-activated traffic lights at two of the thoroughfare’s intersections. The lights are to be erected at 17 Avenue and 18A Avenue – where marked pedestrian cross-

ings already exist. At 17 Avenue, an existing pedestrian-activated amber light setup will be upgraded, transportation manager Jamie Boan said. Once complete, both intersections will have a “standard” pedestrian light – flashing green that changes to amber, then red when activated by a pedestrian. Boan said the project arose out of school-safety reviews that were undertaken in 2011. Each pedestrian light costs about $120,000, he said. By the end of this year, about $4 million in projects will have been

completed. School district spokesman Doug Strachan said the school communities are “thrilled” the lights are being installed. The road is a busy one, particularly in the morning and midafternoon. Despite the existing marked crossings, motorists often do not stop for students or other pedestrians trying to navigate across 148 Street safely. Speed of traffic along the route has also been a regular concern. Installation is expected to begin this week and continue into November.

No fewer than 69 chances

rent Parent is appealing his 12-year driving ban, given to him as part of his 5½-year jail sentence for deliberately killing Silas O’Brien with his truck. The 2008 incident on 16 Avenue, which occurred late at night in Langley as O’Brien, 21, and two friends were on their way to Vancouver International Airport to begin a vacation, was one of the worst cases of road rage ever seen in the area. When the B.C. Court of Appeal deals with his case – if it ever actually gets to court – perhaps the panel of judges should consider imposing a lifetime driving ban instead. This man does not deserve a driver’s licence. He has 64 driving infractions and five driving suspensions, which he has accumulated in his years on the road. When Parent was sentenced in May 2012, Judge Terence Schultes suggested he take advantage of anger-management courses that would be available to him in a federal prison. Clearly, the judge saw that there was a problem that needed fixing. The basis of Parent’s appeal is that he will need to drive, in order to work, when he is released from jail. It’s too bad he hadn’t thought of those consequences the other 69 times he’s run afoul of the law. There are many people who find it more difficult to work because they can’t get driver’s licences. In some cases, the reason is due to suspensions. In other cases, it is due to financial hardship. In others, they are physically incapable of driving. Yet somehow, others manage to make the best of their situations, without court intervention. Parent has been given many, many chances to improve his driving habits. It is obvious from his actions, when he struck and killed O’Brien, and afterwards, when he didn’t come forward despite an outpouring of emotion, that he lacks concern for other people. He has been given far more than a second chance in the past. He has been given no fewer than 69 chances. With such an appalling driving record, he doesn’t deserve to have a driver’s licence ever again. The Court of Appeal should take it away for good.

All of the statuettes – except the lovesick one – are in heroic poses, one striding over a globe of the world, another emerging from a bottle of Superman bubble bath and the strongest of all standing with a smile on his lips, chest thrust forward and hands on hips, ready to take on evildoers anywhere. Scattered around my den are dozens of other precious mementoes, including everything from a Superman piggy bank to a Superman light switch to a Superman keychain that lights up. I also have a Superman coffee cup that proclaims: “I have my faults but being wrong is not one of them.” As well, I have a do-not-disturb sign on my doorknob that says: “Out leaping tall buildings in a single bound. Please come back later.” One of the most recent additions to my priceless collection is a strip of new Canadian stamps commemorating Superman’s 75th anniversary. I was a little surprised at our government’s unexpected gesture, until I remembered that one of Superman’s creators, along with Jerry Siegel, was a Canadian kid from Toronto named Joe Shuster. Siegel wrote the stories and Shuster drew the pictures. As if the stamps weren’t enough, the government is issuing a series of commemorative coins in Superman’s honour. I can hardly wait to get my hands on one. It’s going to be almost as exciting as the Superman membership card and secret decoder ring I got when I was eight! Almost as exciting, but not quite....

Quick fix for PAH patients Editor: I have heard it argued that parking should be free at hospitals. While I understand this point of view, I have no problem with the concept of pay parking at hospitals in general, if consideration is given for obvious situations that will be encountered. The arrangements for pay parking at Peace Arch Hospital, however, are unjust in the extreme – bordering on immoral. It is typical when attending for a hospital appointment that a patient has neither knowledge of nor control over the time that they will be in the building. Nevertheless, upon arriving at the parking lot, they are required to select a block of time, upon expiry of which they will be subject to a substantial fine. Therefore, unless they are lucky enough to have guessed the time correctly, they will be required to overpay for parking. This will either be a modest amount, in the event they overestimated, or a considerable amount, if they underestimated. Not only will they be overcharged, they will be subjected to unnecessary stress at a time they are vulnerable. This happened to my wife last week. She was required to undergo a test that she expected would not take more than an hour. To cover her uncertainty, she prepaid for two. As it happened, she was required to wait for further testing but was not in a position to return to the parking lot to extend her time. Fortunately I was at home and she was able to call me to make a special trip to the hospital to extend her time. While I was doing this I was asked by a very frail, much older lady to assist her with the parking machine, and she was bothered that she didn’t know how long she was going to be and therefore how much time to buy. This is totally unnecessary with today’s technology. Surely it should be possible to register at the machine upon arrival and then revisit the machine to confirm departure. This would result in patients paying the right amount for the duration of their stay – similar to the system at Vancouver airport and elsewhere. This present practice should not be permitted, particularly since the technical fix would simply require a rewrite of system software. I am not opposed to government contracting out non-core services, however they have a responsibility to assure the public interest in the delivery of contracted-out services. Bob Askew, Surrey

Bond across the border Editor: Re: ‘Nothing worse than a whiny Canadian…’, Sept. 26. The whining Canadian is a recent phenomenon; how it arose from the soil of this noble land is a mystery. When Kaiser Wilheim got pushy, Canada called up young plowboys

who, with basic training, gave him a thrashing which left ears ringing to this day. Not long afterwards, an evil of biblical proportion possessed the same land and Canada called to send the younger brothers off the farm. They – equally with basic skills – shredded the granite will of the oppressor. Later, the youngest lad in the family left the pastoral sanctuary to set to rights a northern Asian state consumed by the bullies’ lust. America is our brother and sister, yet it is a foreign land. If we are worthy, we are welcomed to a generous hospitality. And if we behave ourselves, a bond like none other on earth is formed. Terry Miller, Surrey

Flexible agenda Editor: Re: Reduce coal dust: Port Metro, Sept. 17. Kevin Washbrook, of Voters Taking Action on Climate Change, says “two weeks isn’t enough time to do a comprehensive study that identifies problems…” and calls the environmental-impact assessment “window dressing.” The trouble is that two months or two years wouldn’t be enough to satisfy this group. A few months ago, Washburn was interviewed on a Vancouver talk

show and worried deeply about the project’s health issues – Plan A. When the interviewer pointed to the safe operation of the Roberts Bank coal terminal for 40 years, Washburn switched to Plan B – concern about climate change. Oops. It appears Plan A’s health concerns are back in play. Environmental groups like VTACC always have a Plan A and Plan B. If they don’t carry weight, Plan C can always be dreamed up. Environmental NGOs (nongovernmental organizations) litter our landscape and always employ the same “bait and switch” tactics as expediency requires. Be suspicious about their flexible agenda.

Advocates of the proposed Sensible Policing Act say it would appropriately restrict youth possession of marijuana.

Sensible steps to police drug use Editor: Re: B.C. marijuana referendum misguided, Oct. 8. Tom Fletcher’s recent column misrepresented the Sensible BC campaign, and could lead to confusion about our efforts for a marijuana referendum. The ultimate aim of Sensible BC is to have B.C.’s marijuana industry regulated in a similar manner to wine. Our proposed legislation, the Sensible Policing Act, is designed to bring us closer to that goal. The Sensible Policing Act has four components, all carefully designed to be within provincial jurisdiction. The first aspect is to redirect police resources away from being wasted on simple possession of marijuana. Last year, B.C. police made over 16,500 arrests for marijuana possession, draining $10.5 million in police and court time away from investigation of more serious criminal offences. If Sensible BC is successful, tens of thousands of hours of police and court time would immediately be freed up to pursue real criminals. This means safer communities for everyone, and less backlog in our courts. Second, our legislation treats a minor in possession of marijuana exactly the same as if it were alcohol. This allows police to deal with a teenager smoking pot, but without the lifetime criminal record. Third, the Sensible Policing Act calls upon the federal government to repeal marijuana prohibition, so that B.C. can regulate and tax it in a manner similar to wine and beer. This would send a powerful message and give our prime minister the mandate to legalize.

Finally, our legislation creates a B.C. commission to figure out the rules needed to implement legalization. Like alcohol and tobacco, most of the regulation for marijuana would be determined at the provincial level. B.C. cannot fully legalize marijuana without a change to federal law, but we can take steps in the right direction. Dana Larsen, Sensible BC Q There is a big difference between condoning marijuana use and protecting children from drugs. Decriminalization – as proposed by Sensible BC – acknowledges the social reality of marijuana and frees users from criminal records. That’s a step in the right direction. What’s really needed is a legally regulated market with age controls. Separating the hard and soft drug markets is critical. As long as organized crime controls marijuana distribution, consumers will come into contact with sellers of hard drugs like cocaine, meth and heroin. This “gateway” is a direct result of marijuana prohibition. Marijuana is less harmful than legal alcohol. The plant has never been shown to cause an overdose death. It makes no sense to waste tax dollars on failed marijuana policies that finance organized crime and facilitate the use of hard drugs. Taxing and regulating marijuana may send the wrong message to children, but I like to think the children are more important than the message.

Poll shows many Metro residents undecided

45% back Massey Bridge Jeff Nagel Black Press

A poll has found 45 per cent of Metro Vancouverites support the replacement of the Massey Tunnel. Fourteen per cent said they oppose the province’s plan to build a new $3-billion bridge with as many as 10 lanes, while a large portion – 40 per cent – said they either had no position or needed more information before taking one. The survey of 600 B.C. residents was conducted by NRG Research Group and Peak Communicators. Support levels fell to 28 per cent among respondents living elsewhere in B.C. “Support for the Massey Tunnel replacement is highest among those most likely to use the route,” said NRG research manager Lesley Duncan. The poll also asked what the province’s top priority should be in deciding infrastructure upgrades. Thirty-one per cent said the top priority should be reducing traffic congestion, while 23

Parking once considered

Lot rethought Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

New owners of a White Rock lot that was once eyed for a parkade have asked the city for permission to build a single-family home with a secondary suite on the property. Director of development services Paul Stanton told the city’s land-use committee last week that the 15031 Victoria Ave. site has changed hands since the May 2012 parkade suggestion. The new owner has asked for a change in the lot’s Official Community Plan designation to “attached or detached residential” from “multiunit residential,” and for rezoning to RS-3 oneunit (small lot, hillside) from RT-1 two-unit (duplex), Stanton said. The change would bring it in line with

zoning on land east of the lot in question, he said. He confirmed it would also permit a second basement, which would facilitate safer driveway access from Victoria Avenue. Stanton said a singlefamily home with a suite is the best the applicants could ask for on the site. Coun. Al Campbell expressed concern with a pattern of people buying lots and applying to change zoning. “Why aren’t people just building what they’ve bought?” he said. “I’m finding it strange… once it’s changed hands, now it doesn’t work anymore?” The committee voted 5-1 in favour of recommending council give it first and second reading. Coun. Helen Fathers opposed; Coun. Louise Hutchinson was absent.

A franchise is a legal agreement between a franchisor (seller) and the franchisee (buyer) in which the franchisor grants the franchisee the right to distribute certain goods or services developed by the franchisor in a particular way, in a particular location, and for a specified period of time. In return, the franchisee pays the franchisor various fees and royalties. If you are thinking of buying a franchise here are a few matters to keep in mind: • Do you like the activity you are considering enough to make a commitment to the franchisor for the term of the franchise agreement? • Do you like the franchisor's staff / those people with whom you will be working? • Are you willing to follow the franchisor's rules and system? • Can you afford the franchise? (such as the initial franchise fee and on-going royalties) • Have you carefully studied the legal documents which govern your operation of the franchise with a lawyer, such as the franchise agreement and operating manuals? • Does the franchise you are considering have a track record of success? • Are the other franchisees generally happy and successful? Some pros to buying a franchise rather than starting your own business include training received from the franchisor; supervision and ongoing advice from the franchisor, proven products and methods; collective buying power; and ongoing research and development of new products, ideas and systems. On the other hand, some cons to consider include: franchises are usually expensive to purchase and there are usually ongoing payments based on sales (royalties) to be paid to the franchisor; loss of independence; ability to expand limited by franchisor; you are not really buying a business but buying the rights to conduct the business under a franchise agreement for a limited time - usually for 10, 15, or 20 years, most often with renewal options. For more information with respect to a purchase of a franchise or if you are considering franchising your business, contact Tamara Huculak, lawyer and registered trademark agent at

Community heroes were honoured at the Heroes of the Homeless Awards.

Advocates for homeless recognized

Honouring heroes They’ve gone way beyond the call of duty in helping the homeless in Surrey. And last Thursday night, a few people and organizations were named as recipients of the second annual Heroes of the Homeless Awards. The Heroes of the Homeless Awards are given to people and organizations that exceed

expectations in service to the homeless and to those at risk of homelessness. Organizers with the Surrey Homeless and Housing Society note these are people who do not have a primary mandate or job to serve these populations – they do so simply out of the goodness of their hearts. i see page 28

Dozens helped ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING i from page 27 This year’s heroes are: • Dick Avison – Avison has been an advocate for the homeless in South Surrey. More than five years ago, Avison began volunteering to host the extreme weather shelter at the United Church, where there are 10 beds for homeless people who have nowhere else to go during the winter when it’s cold or wet. Avison has demonstrated compassion for those who are less-fortunate. • Dr. Ken Stones – Stones was instrumental in organizing the Peace Arch Free Dental Clinic, which opened in October 2009 to treat people in the South Surrey area who may be homeless and can’t afford to see a dentist. Clients have been appreciative, often expressing heartfelt thanks with tears and hugs. The patients’ gratitude and improved self-esteem keep the volunteer dentists and staff coming back. • City Centre Library – The library has specifically designed programs and services to assist the homeless and poverty-stricken, such as 90-day library cards for individuals who don’t have any identification; brochures to help individuals find resources, support services and employment; literacy programs; and promotion of a mobile library. In addition, the City Centre Library has been a partner for the Surrey Homelessness and Housing Society, providing the venue for meetings and programs, including the Youth Film Competition and youth-at-risk workshops. Coun. Judy Villeneuve, chair of the Surrey Homelessness and Housing Society, and Vera LeFranc, manager of community projects with the Vancity Community Foundation, draped superhero capes on the recipients during the awards event, held at the Newton Cultural Centre.

Regulators have set out a three-month process to consider the fees, which the province has mandated by cabinet order to recoup extra costs to accommodate customers who opt not to have a wireless meter. The utilities commission can’t scrap the fees, but it could order Hydro to lower them and refund the difference. Sharon Noble, of the Coalition to Stop Smart Meters, said opponents will urge the commission to delay implementation while a class-action lawsuit against Hydro is before the courts. “They want to get the

fees in place so people feel the pinch as soon as possible and stop resisting,” Noble said. “This is just one more way of intimidating people. I’m getting 300 emails a day from people who are furious and can’t afford this.” About 60,000 households that have refused wireless smart meters have been notified of pending fees. They’ll pay $35 a month extra starting Dec. 1 if they opt to keep their mechanical meter or don’t respond. Or they can switch to a smart meter with the radio transmitter disabled for a $100 setup fee plus $20 a month for manual readings. The only way to avoid paying more is to agree to take a smart meter. Also approved is a “failed installation” fee effective Oct. 25 that charges customers $65 each time technicians are obstructed from accessing a home’s meter.

‘Dog rescuer’ trial set for 20 days Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

It will be more than a year before the trial of a South Surrey woman facing dozens of criminal charges in connection with alleged ‘dogrescue’ efforts gets underway. The case is scheduled to be

heard in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster starting Nov. 17, 2014, according to her lawyer. Twenty days have been set aside. Olson was arrested in November 2011 in connection with the theft of a bulldog from a Coquitlam backyard.

A Surrey woman arrested at the same time, Louise Reid, was sentenced in September 2012 after pleading guilty to stealing two dogs, including the bulldog. Olson was ordered to stand trial June 11, following a preliminary inquiry

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

White Rock Players Club show is ably directed and stars a talented cast

The Crucible a ‘must-see’ performance T

hink The Crucible is just some wordy historical piece about a group of quaint and superstitious farm folk worried about witchcraft in 1690s Massachusetts? Guess again. In the hands of director Ryan Mooney and a large and committed cast, White Rock Players Club’s The Crucible Alex Browne succeeds as riveting, mustsee drama, as compelling, relevant – and accessible – as any cable or network TV hit. Part of this currency lies in Mooney’s decision to set the show in a dystopian nearfuture rather than in a cozily-concocted past. The metal fences and structures of Matthew Davenport’s set, Pat McLean’s semi-uniform costumes and an electronic-industrial Alex Browne photo soundscape make sure we know Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, directed by Ryan Mooney, plays at the Coast Capital Playhouse until Oct. 26. this play is talking directly to us, rather than simply wondering at Once Mooney and his players right. his chemistry with McEwen the ‘primitive’ superstition of a have made the point that The show’s many twists and ensures the couple’s relationship bygone era. the situations of the play are turns are consistently interesting seems real and, ultimately, very Playwright Arthur Miller’s essentially timeless, details of for the audience because he has touching. retelling of the Salem Witch Trials setting quickly become irrelevant. given the actors multi-faceted The young actors assigned – and a God-fearing What counts most in this characters to work to the roles of the community’s response to production is Miller’s with. supposedly ‘bewitched’ ❝This play is the “abnormal” behaviour script and a director and Rebekah McEwen girls – including talking directly of a group of adolescent cast capable of bringing delivers a very Brittany Vesterback, to us, rather than girls – has always been out its multiple levels. genuine, well-nuanced Jenna Grubagh simply wondering and Celeste Taylor about a lot more than The 60-year-old play is performance as the at the ‘primitive’ – also contribute that. all the more impressive confused, angry and Miller shows us a Salem today because Miller – scared Elizabeth superstition of a to the success of the turned inside out by fear, although subject to the Proctor, who begins show with believable bygone era.❞ greed and lust and the political witch hunts of to see a design in performances, although pompous, self-righteous his own time – wrote not the accusations that in some places one Ryan Mooney certainties of political, as a propagandist but as a envelop her and her farmer might like to see some more of director religious and judicial man of compassion.

And shrill, and in her scene – and

sight lines

chemistry – with Roy, amply suggests the underlying emotions, and history, that give dimension to the role. Julie Casselman also succeeds nicely in portraying the turmoil of Mary Warren, the Proctors’ new serving girl – caught in an emotional tug-of-war between the reason of Proctor and the influence of Abigail. Tom Gage does fine work as John Hale, showing us both the reverend’s well-intentioned eagerness to investigate the apparent bewitching, and his palpable anguish as he comes to realize the damage he has done in the community. Excellent work, too by mellifluous-voiced Ken Fynn as deputy governor Danforth, whose unyielding devotion to rules and regulations plunges Salem into chaos, and Tim Driscoll as presiding Judge Hathorne, a man whose sole satisfaction seems to be the exercise of his authority. Also bringing out all of the aspects of the tragedy are strong performances by Mike Busswood as aging, rough-and-ready Giles Corey, Proctor’s steadfast ally; Jane Mantle as Ann Putnam, who bitterly blames the loss of seven of her babies on witchcraft; and Dave Carroll as her husband, Thomas Putnam, whose brooding resentments fuel a desire to take financial advantage of the situation. Good performances too, from Dann Wilhelm as Reverend Parris, who places fear of losing his own position in the community ahead of common sense; and Scott Farkvam as Cheever, who doesn’t hesitate to provide incriminating evidence out of misplaced zeal. In smaller, but no less important, roles, Margaret Shearman, Paula Spurr, Tarrah Tanaka, Heather Harris and Josh Fuller all have their moments to shine and contribute to an overall portrait of a community in free-fall. The Crucible runs until Oct. 26 at Coast Capital Playhouse.

Art gifted to museum Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Some people paint landscapes – Voja Morosan became inseparable from them. Before he died in 2008, the Belgrade-born artist had become one of the most visible practitioners of art in his adopted city of White Rock. A familiar sight on street corners whenever the sun was shining, Morosan sat, day after day, at his easel, wearing his trademark straw hat, reproducing views of the city with his unerring draughtsmanship and sensitivity to light and colour. In retrospect, it’s clear that many of his paintings immortalized pieces of city heritage that subsequently fell victim to the wrecker’s ball and the

inevitable march of progress. That’s why it’s appropriate that several of his paintings have become part of White Rock Museum and Archives permanent collection, thanks to a donation from the artist’s widow – and continuing champion – Norma Morosan. She recently visited the museum to deliver five canvases of historic views of city landmarks past and present, which were gratefully received by curator Amanda Sittrop and archivist Hugh Ellenwood. The subjects include the former Semiahmoo Secondary and White Rock Elementary buildings, now gone, as well as the old station building that houses the museum and the i see page 37

When pianist-vocalist Dominik Heins and vocalist Wendy Bollard first met musically, it was inevitable the partnership would continue. Heins’ June showcase concert at Blue Frog Studios offered Bollard – artistic director of Peninsula Productions – a chance to get back to the microphone for a few enthusiastically received numbers with the boogie-woogie and jazz maestro and his bassist Sam Shoichet and drummer Alex Klassen. The team returns this Saturday (Oct. 19) at 8 p.m. at First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave., for a full concert of some 23 classic tunes from the jazz era of the ’20s-’40s, showcasing Heins’ keyboard and singing styles and not one, but three, musical personas for Bollard – flapper, country-girl and Mae West-like diva. “It’s something between a concert and a cabaret show,” Heins said, noting it’s an opportunity to utilize not only their musical skills and performance experience but also a similar sense of humour. Developing a script has been an enjoyable challenge, Bollard said. “He’s somebody I can throw out an idea to, and he’ll take the ball and run with it.”

Change captured i from page 35 remaining enclave of pioneer homes on Elm Street, all rendered with Morosan’s customary detail and fidelity to light, shade and atmosphere. Morosan said that, while she can’t believe it’s been five years since her husband’s passing, she is always amazed at the evolving White Rock scene. “Can you believe how much has changed in five years?” she said. “It’s nice that Voja recorded it the way it was.” Sittrop said the museum plans a formal display of Morosan’s paintings after the conclusion of the current Rock, Paper Scissors crafts-oriented exhibition. After, they will remain preserved in the archive, with the potential to be exhibited on a rotating basis. “It’s a really emotional day,” Morosan said. “Voja would be overwhelmed. It always inspired him, sitting there painting. When we first moved to White Rock he couldn’t believe the abundance of light and colours, the difference between here and Ontario where we used to live and work. “He was very happy – he loved it out here.”

uestion: My mother died and after a couple of years, my father hired a caretaker to come in four hours a day to do some housekeeping, some light cooking and to drive him to his doctor’s appointments. Over time they became fond of each other and she was playing gin rummy with my dad and going on trips together. They agreed that she could move into his house and instead of paying her to look after things, she could stay in his house for free. Dad’s health got worse and I must admit that she was very helpful, but my sisters and I were careful to always call her a “caretaker” and not a “friend” or “common-law spouse.” My Dad called her “dear.” This went on for eight years, and now my Dad has died and my sisters and I have demanded the “caretaker” to leave the house, and she won’t. She is not a beneÀciary of my Dad’s will. What do we do?

nswer: She is not a “caretaker,” she is a spouse, and has substantial rights against your father’s estate. She is prudent to stay in the house until her claim is settled. NEW CLIENTS WELCOME

Surrey looks to rebound against Prince George this weekend

Eagles’ losing skid reaches five games Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Surrey Eagles picked an inopportune time to sink into a tailspin, as their current losing streak – which now sits at five games – has coincided with a string of victories from BC Hockey League division rivals. The Eagles dropped both games on their Thanksgiving weekend schedule, first losing 6-4 to the

BCHL-leading Powell River Kings Friday at South Surrey Arena, and then dropping a 3-1 contest to the Langley Rivermen, who’ve reeled off six consecutive victories to take a stranglehold on the Mainland Division. The streaking Rivermen sit with 19 points, nine better than the fourth-place Eagles, who have a 5-8 record. Against the Kings – who’ve run

their record to 10-1 this season – special teams played a key role in the contest, as the teams combined for five power-play markers. Powell River was 2-for-3 with the manadvantage while Surrey converted on 50 per cent of their power-play opportunities (3-for-6). Mitchell Fyffe opened the scoring for the Eagles Friday, scoring at even-strength 6:15 into the contest, and then the teams traded power-

play goals before the first intermission – Jarid Lukosevicious scored for the Kings, and Brett Mulcahy replied for Surrey. In the decisive second period, Lukosevicious – who was named the game’s first star – scored again for the visitors, tying the game 2-2. Brian Rideout, on the power play, made it 3-2 Powell River under two minutes later, and Jarryd Leugn extended the lead to 4-2 midway

through the frame. In the third, Nic Pierog and Joseph Drapiuk each scored power-play goals for the Eagles, but the Kings answered with two goals of their own – first Stephen Hiff scored a short-handed tally, and with 17 seconds left in the game, Kurt Keats, who had three assists, scored to make it 6-4. Goaltender Victor Adamo was i see page 43

Thanksgiving weekend was a productive one for the Valley West Hawks in BC Major Midget League action. The Hawks swept a two-game set with the Greater Vancouver Canadians, improving to 6-2-0 and pulling to within one point behind the Northwest Giants in the standings. On Saturday at Langley Events Centre, the Hawks got two goals – from Matt Bradley and Mitch Newsome – and that was all they needed, as goaltender Kyle Cheema shut the door the rest of the way, stopping 27 shots en route to a 2-1 win. In the second game, held Sunday in Richmond, the Hawks trailed for much of the contest before pulled away in the third period for a 7-3 win. In the early stages of the game, Valley West – despite controlling play – gave up three scoring opportunities, and the Canadians cashed in all three times. In the second period, White Rock’s Matt Barberis got the Hawks on the board, and Cloverdale’s Jordan Funk scored 16 minutes later to make it 3-2. In the third, Valley West exploded with five goals – two from White Rock defenceman Devante Stephens, and single goals from Eric Callegari, White Rock’s Paul Smith and Funk. Davis Koch, a Semiahmoo Peninsula resident, added two assists, and South Surrey’s Ty Westgard was named player of the game. – Nick Greenizan

One of the biggest bonspiels of the season returns to the Peace Arch Curling Centre this weekend. The Ice Mice Ladies Curling Bonspiel hits the ice in White Rock from Oct. 17-20, and will feature 24 teams from throughout Metro Vancouver, and as far away as Seattle. A Langley rink skipped by Karen Lepine – a former B.C. senior women’s and mixed champion – has won the last two Ice Mice ‘A’ finals; last year, the Lepine rink went undefeated en route to the title.

White Rock weightlifter Michael Hungerschafer had a record-setting weekend in Surrey. At the 16th annual Doug Hepburn Weightlifting Championships, held at the Universal Fitness Centre, the 17-year-old Hungerschafer won a gold medal, set three new records and was also named the meet’s top male lifter. Competing in the 85-kg division, Hungerschafer lifted 100 kg in the snatch and 120 kg in cleanand-jerk, for a total of 220 kg – all three marks were records, and all three numbers broke the previous record, which was set in 2012 by Capilano’s Jacob Cartwright. Next up for Hungerschafer is the 2013 BC Provincial Championships, set for December.

Called up

Cloverdale goaltender Laurent Brossoit is coming back to the Fraser Valley after a brief sojourn to Alaska. Brossoit, a Calgary Flames prospect, was recalled by the Abbotsford Heat from the ECHL’s Alaska Aces – where he was assigned earlier this month. Brossoit played one preseason game for the Aces, making 22 saves against Cincinnati.

Seattle Mariners pitcher James Paxton watches Landon Munro pitch during a session last week.

James Paxton lends a hand

Major League help One of the top pitching prospects in Major League Baseball stopped by South Surrey Athletic Park last week to lend a hand at a White Rock-South Surrey Baseball pitching clinic. James Paxton – a Lower Mainland native and member of the Seattle Mariners – was on hand to chat with the players from WRSSBA’s Mini-8 division, answering questions from the youngsters about everything from his favourite majorleague ballpark to his most feared opponent, which he said was Detroit Tigers’ slugger Miguel Cabrera. Paxton also spent some time on the field, helping pitchers work on their form and technique. Paxton, 24, made his MLB debut in September, and earned his first win in a Sept. 7 game against the Tampa Bay Rays. He spent most of the season with the Pacific Coast League’s Tacoma Rainers. – Nick Greenizan

Neither the Eagles nor the Rivermen scored in the opening 20 minutes, and in the middle stanza, Fyffe and Langley’s Jakob Reichert traded goals. The Rivermen pulled ahead in the third, with Mitch McClain scoring on the power play, and Nathan Craft added an insurance marker, scoring into an empty net with eight seconds left on the clock.

Surrey will try to right the ship this weekend with a pair of home games against the visiting Prince George Spruce Kings. The Kings and Birds will square off at South Surrey on both Friday and Saturday nights. The Spruce Kings sport a 7-6 win-loss mark, and sit five points up on the Eagles in the division.

Marconâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Reganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walk features modern urban living By Kerry Vital

Marcon is continuing its reputation as one of British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most respected developers with Reganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walk, a collection of 71 condominium homes in Coquitlam that are perfect for those searching for a modern urban lifestyle. The homes at Reganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walk are available in a variety of one-, two- and three-bedroom plans, ranging from 509 to 1,125 square feet. Nine-foot ceilings contribute to a spacious

feel, enhanced by the abundance of natural light. Wide-plank laminate flooring is featured throughout the living areas, with modern scrolled level-loop nylon carpeting in the bedrooms. The kitchens are perfect for any aspiring gourmet, with their stainless-steel appliances and full-height pantries with built-in microwaves and a USB charging station (in select homes). The thermafoil cabinets are contemporary and distinctive, with Shaker 42â&#x20AC;? Euro White uppers and eased edge square-profile lower cabinets in either Covaren Crystal or Miltown Oak. The

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

cabinets are complemented by a full-height hand-set stacked tile backsplash and solid quartz countertops. Meanwhile, the bathrooms are relaxing and elegant, with their own Euro White Shaker cabinets and a deep soaker tub. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also find solid quartz countertops in the ensuite bathroom, complemented by a full-height tile tub and shower surround and a forged steel-framed mirror with brushed steel accent light bar to perfectly illuminate your morning routine. Every home includes a generous patio or terrace, extending the living space outdoors and perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Located in West Coquitlam, a neighbourhood that will soon include the Evergreen Line, Reganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walk is perfect for those looking for easy access to the amenities of the city while still having plenty of peace and quiet.

Woodbridge Homesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Salix features Georgian-style architecture, with red brick accents and styled ironwork, above. The homes are spacious and inviting, with wood laminate ďŹ&#x201A;ooring and large windows to let the natural light pour in, above right.

Sophisticated style at Woodbridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Salix in Surrey By Kerry Vital

Style reigns supreme at Salix, Woodbridge Homesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; condominium project in Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clayton Heights neighbourhood that combines gorgeous homes and a great location in one amazing package. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The value weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re presenting here is really unmatched,â&#x20AC;? says sales manager Rob Carlsen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have a well-built home that

RENO ME! with

FortisBC Describe what

YOU WOULD DO! GET VOTES & WIN!

youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll enjoy for years to come.â&#x20AC;? Stylish elegance is the name of the game at Salix, with its Georgian-inspired architecture. Red brick and styled ironwork combine with the craftsman woodwork accents to make for a chic entrance to the four-storey building. Woodbridge is now selling the final homes in the project. Most are two-bedroom and two-bedroom-and-den plans, but Carlsen says thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a wide variety, with six different plans to choose from. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now is really the time to buy,â&#x20AC;? he says, adding that Salix recently opened up their new model home. When it comes to finishings, buyers have two different interior design schemes to choose from: one contemporary and one traditional. The contemporary scheme (called Sallow) feature stone countertops and chic

white satin flat panel upper cabinets and dark laminate flat panel lower cabinets, complemented by a modern stainless-steel feature hood fan in the kitchen. Meanwhile, the traditional scheme (called Willow) includes elegant granite countertops and Victorian cabinetry in a dark wood, with its own custom Broan hood fan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our unique finishings really stand above the crowd,â&#x20AC;? Carlsen says. Both options feature stainless-steel appliances and under-cabinet lighting, along with spacious bathrooms with walk-in showers surrounded by ceramic tile and welllit large vanity mirrors. Storage space abounds at Salix, and purchasers now have the opportunity to upgrade to a huge storage locker as part of the new incentive package offered by the

developer. The views from the homes at Salix are spectacular, with some facing Mount Baker. Oversized windows let the natural light pour in, and you can easily imagine spending your evenings on your private patio or balcony. Nine-foot ceilings (10 feet on the top and ground floors) contribute to the overall feeling of spaciousness. Salix is perfectly located in the Clayton Heights area to take advantage of all its amenities, from shopping and dining at Willowbrook Shopping Centre to schools, leisure and recreation opportunities in the neighbourhood itself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel really good about the value weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re providing to purchasers,â&#x20AC;? Carlsen says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small, quiet building in a prime location.â&#x20AC;? Woodbridge is also offering a $10,000 incentive package right now to buyers, who can put that money towards upgrades on their home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a gift from the builder to our buyers,â&#x20AC;? says Carlsen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an amazing value at our price point.â&#x20AC;? Homes at Salix start at $219,900, and you can move in this fall.

HOWEVER YOU DEFINE COMMUNITY, WE CALL IT AN EASY WAY TO MEET AND CONNECT WITH YOUR NEIGHBOURS. It’s just one of the many reasons residents love calling Morgan Crossing home. It could be at the chalk art festival on Main Street (see below!), or one of the many other events, like movie nights in the summer or resident parties. How about chatting with fellow dog owners at the Morgan Crossing Dog Park, or meeting during a class or workout at Steve Nash Sports Club. Or just see and meet lots of the people who live and work at Morgan Crossing… and maybe even ask out your cute neighbour, Amy. Because loving where you live should be about more than just loving your stunning condo (though we only have a few left!).

Edgewater is South Surrey and White Rock’s fastest selling new community and it’s now open to the public again. With only a limited release of homes, this is the ¿nal opportunity to be part of this exclusive development, prior to the opening of the highly anticipated Outlook Club. Set into the hillside, the Outlook Club will be the envy of the neighbourhood. The 15,264 sq.ft clubhouse (including indoor and outdoor amenity spaces) is exclusive to Edgewater residents, and features a full ¿tness and yoga centre, media room, and workshop on the lower level. “Owners will be able to exercise or meditate to the beautiful views of the Nicomekl and Àatlands.” Says sales manager Lynne Gosse. “The middle level is home to a full chef’s kitchen and dining for up to 20, with an outdoor bbq area, prime for summer enjoyment. The Outlook Lounge with wet bar, billiards and dual ¿replace are an ideal setting to enjoy breathtaking views from, or step outside to the huge deck with a nice glass of wine.” She states. Gosse continues “The pièce de résistance is de¿nitely the roof top pool and patio that are actually at garden level overlooking

sales centre had to be closed and moved to make room for construction of the ¿nal homes. Today, the ¿rst phase consisting of 2 three level condominium buildings, is fully complete with residents enjoying their new homes. Phase 2 is over 50% completed with one full residential building occupied while the Outlook Club nears completion. the winding water of the river, making it the perfect escape on a hot afternoon. There’s even a ¿re pit on the deck and a sauna to unwind in. It’s no wonder people can’t wait for this! “ Edgewater opened in Spring of 2011, selling homes prior to construction commencing, and was the fastest selling new community in South Surrey and White Rock. The ¿nal phase was released ahead of schedule in the fall of 2011 and the

Brand New Designer Display Home Now Showing

The last two residential buildings have a handful of large two bedroom and den homes available that are either riverside, forest and creek side or courtyard orientated. “We have truly saved the best homes for last” states Lynne con¿dently. “As you can see by this stunning brand new designer display home!” she exclaims while motioning at the beautiful decorating and millwork around us. “You really do have to see this to believe how beautiful and next to nature you really

are at Edgewater. And the best part, still close to all that South Surrey and White Rock have to offer.” There are currently 12 of these luxury residences at the river’s edge available. With an unparalleled location, unique 3 storey architecture, lush land and waterscapes, and The Outlook Club, it’s no wonder Edgewater is one of the most sought after new home locations in South Surrey and White Rock.
