Mayor warned last summer of potential disaster, as BNSF pursues talks with Semiahmoo First Nation

Train-trestle replacement still awaits Alex Browne Staff Reporter

BNSF is still negotiating with Semiahmoo First Nation for access to build a longawaited replacement for the Little Campbell River railway bridge in South Surrey. And the company’s desire to get the $1.3-million project underway as soon as possible is unchanged, according to Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad spokesperson Gus Melonas.

“We’re continuing to pursue the discussion process,” he told Peace Arch News Tuesday, standing by statements made last August that the company had hoped to get started on the project before the end of 2013. “We’re hoping to expedite a remedy,” Melonas added, but declined to elaborate further. Semiahmoo band councillor Joanne Charles has not return PAN’s request for comment. The decaying bridge – originally constructed

in 1921, with an 80-foot steel replacement span constructed in the early 1940s – sits on a BNSF-owned right of way through the Semiahmoo First Nation reserve. While ongoing maintenance work can be done from the rail bed, construction of a new bridge will require the building of a temporary road onto Semiahmoo First Nation property, plus access for driving pilings. Corrosion of the bridge drew safety criti-

cism last summer from Bill Brehl, teamsters Canada Rail Conference Maintenance of Way Employees Division president, and BC NDP leader Adrian Dix. Following the disastrous derailment in Lac-Mégantic, Que., White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin wrote to Transport Canada last July with the city’s concerns about the condition of the bridge. i see page 4

Councillor frustrated after White Rock agrees to lease former church building to private business

City rental ‘already decided behind closed doors’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A decision to lease out a building on White Rock’s civic campus to a commercial entity puts the city in competition with the businesses it purports to support. So says Coun. Helen Fathers, who made the strong statements Monday, prior to voting against giving third and final reading to zoning amendments that enable the 1174 Fir St. building in question to be used for professional or semi-professional purposes.

“There are dozens and dozens of empty vacant properties awaiting the possibility of a leasing tenant,” Fathers said, reading from a prepared statement. “It is council’s job to help build our core and town centre by encouraging business into these vacant spots. We should not be in competition with them. Do we desperately need these funds from the tenant so badly that our city would fold without them?” The building – the former home of the First Church of Christ, Scientist – was pur-

chased in 2010 for $1.6 million, completing the city’s ownership of the entire block occupied by its civic, police, fire and library services. The city took full possession in February 2012, and voted last May to direct staff to proceed with $200,000 in upgrades. Determining the best use for the building became the source of controversy last summer, after council voted by a narrow margin (4-3) in July to shift their chambers into the space – in support of a motion by Fathers – then reversed the decision in September after

Coun. Bill Lawrence withdrew his support. Couns. Larry Robinson and Al Campbell had also supported moving the chambers. Following the September rethink, Robinson and Fathers – questioning the legality of the move – called for a special council meeting to get to the bottom of what transpired. While they withdrew that call in short order, Fathers followed with a motion for a second legal opinion on the September decision. That, too, was defeated by a 4-3 vote. i see page 10

This is despite the fact that they Churches rarely get much do not pay property taxes for credit these days for the role

they play in society, but they often directly or indirectly are involved in a host of social programs. Surrey Food Bank, for example, was established by members of several churches. The founding meetings were held at North Surrey United Church, and numerous churches and their members continue to play a key role in keeping the food bank operating. A number of other programs have also been started or continue with the active support of churches. Sometimes they take place on church property, and sometimes they take place elsewhere. This is one reason why churches get property tax exemptions – they are considered to be agencies that benefit the community. Many people in today’s society have little interest in religion, and that is their right. At the same time, indifference to the plight of churches with larger properties and declining memberships may mean that both the physical look of the community (with a possible replacement of larger churches), and the charitable activities of church members, change drastically in the next 10 years. This will be particularly true if property vaues remain as high as they are at present. The direction taken by First United Church is one worth paying attention to, as it may be indicative of the future. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News.

Port Metro Vancouver predicts no overall increase to rail traffic if coal facility approved

Train comments fail to calm White Rock Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The suggestion that a new direct-transfer coal facility in Surrey would not increase train traffic was met with incredulity by White Rock council members Monday. The statement came from Port Metro Vancouver’s director of environment, Darrell Desjardin, during a presentation on the port and the Fraser Surrey Docks proposal. “Overall, from 2008, you would not see an increase in rail traffic,” Desjardin said, explaining the increase would simply return volumes to those seen six years ago. Coun. Helen Fathers and Mayor Wayne Baldwin both disputed the assertion. “I’m not sure how you can say there won’t

be an increase in train traffic,” Fathers said. “We’ve already seen an increase since 2008,” Baldwin said. “Not a minor one, a major one.” The $15-million direct-transfer facility eyed for 11060 Elevator Rd. has been the subject of considerable angst since it was announced in September 2012. Port officials are reviewing the application and could make a decision on the project at any time. If approved, the facility would handle two million metric tonnes of coal in its first year of operation, increasing to four million tonnes annually within five years. Last month, White Rock’s director of engineering, Greg St. Louis, said that translates to a potential increase in the number of

trains travelling through White Rock to 320 in year one and 640 after that. Regarding Desjardin’s no-increase statement, PMV’s vice-president of planning and operations Peter Xotta clarified it referred specifically to traffic coming to Fraser Surrey Docks: “The volume would certainly not surpass what they’ve experienced at this facility in the past.” Baldwin said his community’s concern is with what’s coming through White Rock. “That’s where we need to see some environmental assessment,” he said. The port-ordered assessment, released in November, has been criticized by health officials as failing to meet “even the most basic requirements of a health-impact assessment.”

St. Louis has said it “did not provide any useful information on the environmental impacts of transporting coal through the City of White Rock.” Xotta said Monday that Fraser Surrey Docks has been “given some direction” as a result of discussions with health authorities. “I can assure you if there are shortcomings… we will be asking them to do additional work,” he said. Council later voted to support city staff participation on an independent interagency committee focused on reviewing the direct-transfer facility. The resolution was in response to an invitation by Delta Mayor Lois Jackson, whose council voted last month to initiate and co-ordinate the committee.

Surrey MLAs – from left, Harry Bains, Bruce Ralston, Sue Hammell – join NDP Leader Adrian Dix at a news conference in Newton Wednesday.

Surrey MLAs call for police backup Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Better services for people with mental-health and addictions issues, regulations on drug recovery homes, a community court and better housing are all part of the Surrey Accord being pitched by local NDP politicians. MLAs Sue Hammell, Harry Bains and Bruce Ralston – joined by NDP Leader Adrian Dix – proposed the Surrey Accord at a news conference at the Newton Cultural Centre on Wednesday. The call came weeks after the brutal killing of hockey mom Julie Paskall, who was attacked while she was waiting for her 16-year-old son outside the Newton Arena Dec. 29. The slaying galvanized the Newton community and prompted calls for more police and a fix for many of the social issues in the community. Dix said Surrey RCMP are swamped with calls involving people with mental-health problems and addictions. Bains (Surrey-Newton) said the city has one of the highest crime rates in B.C., yet ranks 31st in number of police officers per capita.

“In 2013, Surrey had 25 homicides, compared to six in Vancouver,” Bains said, adding 2012 stats show Surrey has just 137 police officers per 100,000 residents. “Cities such as Vancouver, New Westminster, West Vancouver, Delta, Port Moody and Langley all ranked better.” Bains said Surrey residents often complain that police response times are incredibly slow, if there’s a response at all. “(This) points to one direction,” he said. “Police resources are overstretched and need help.” The Surrey Accord, he said, would find resources and examine policing models that would see more boots on the ground. The MLAs are also calling for the creation of a community court. “Community courts are an efficient access to the justice system and a problem-solving approach to criminal behaviour,” Bains said. He notes Surrey was promised one of the courts six years ago, but it has yet to materialize. Hammell (Surrey-Green Timbers) said Surrey RCMP senior staff have told her that the amount of time officers spend responding to calls involving people with mental illness is

similar to that of Vancouver, where 21 per cent of calls involve someone who is mentally ill. It’s important to ensure health resources are adequate to support the need, she said, noting the number of unregulated drug and alcohol recovery homes in this city is astounding. “Fifty-five houses have been regulated and 45 more are on the dock to be regulated,” she said. Ralston (Surrey-Whalley) said that as regulations fall into place, more provincial investment will be required for supportive housing. He said people quite reasonably expect all levels of government to work together. “And that’s what we’re proposing,” Ralston said, adding the MLAs proposing it are longtime Surrey residents with a stake in a solution. Mayor Dianne Watts, who was not at the press conference, said the problems and some of the solutions outlined by the NDP MLAs are also part of her own Crime Reduction Strategy, created by the city in 2006. She said she welcomes help with the issue. “Certainly, there needs to be a comprehensive strategy from all levels of government in terms of how to deal with it,” Watts said.

City of White Rock staff who last month opposed a Marine Drive businessman’s application to host a St. Patrick’s Day event are now supporting the festival. But conditions imposed on the beer-garden function – eyed by Paul McDonough of Jimmy Flynn’s Celtic Snug – were criticized by one councillor as excessive; in particular, a demand that the city be reimbursed $1,050 for the lost payparking revenue. “It seems like we’re trying to do everything not to do the event,” said Coun. Helen Fathers, following additional concerns expressed by Coun. Louise Hutchinson around the potential for the festival to draw an unsavoury crowd. Hutchinson said that while she liked aspects of the event, she is worried about security. “White Rock has a history of attracting young people from outside our area… who hear about a party and come and wreck it,” she said. “The proponent has to be aware this element is still there.” McDonough had proposed the event to build on the success of last year’s Irish Heritage Month, which returns in March. Monday, leisure services director Eric Stepura said he has heard concerns from White Rock RCMP regarding policing the beer garden. Also, that council policy prevents staff from supporting a request to waive the $1,050 fee. The revenue loss was one of the reasons the event was initially opposed, along with the anticipated impact to businesses that rely on the lot’s proximity for “people with disabilities and ladies who wear high heels,” Stepura said. Fathers motioned for the fee to be waived on the understanding that funds raised would be donated to charity. Council voted instead to approve the event subject to the conditions, and encourage McDonough to apply for a grantin-aid to cover the fee.

But he has also noted the bridge – crossed daily by 11-15 freight trains plus Amtrak passenger trains – has been earmarked for replacement since 2011. Maintenance performed in August, after a June inspection by Canadian Professional Engineers, included replacement of a cracked girder bearing and span bracing, and substitution of steel shims for hardwood shims. BNSF plans to replace the single span with two 40-foot steel spans, with construction estimated to last four months – and Melonas has said daily train schedules would be maintained during the process of building the replacement bridge. Melonas said Tuesday he also stood by earlier statements that the company “has had engineering plans, environmental permits and a Canadian contractor ready to rebuild the main span of the bridge, once we can gain access to the property.”

An ‘A’ for effort

dvocates of a pilot project in Surrey School District elementary schools – designed to explore different ways for teachers to report a child’s academic progress – make a good case that there are constructive alternatives to the traditional report-card approach. But we won’t give them a pass on the most contentious aspect of the project – setting aside the time-tested letter grade. While the Utopian zeal to find a better way is commendable, this comes perilously close to throwing out the proverbial baby with the bathwater. What’s wrong with keeping letter grades, alongside the more conscientious summaries? Anyone who has been through our school system as a student and/or parent will recognize that the bald letter grade misses the finer points of an individual’s progress. Too often excellent work, heartening development and delightful expression is flattened, minimized, even suppressed by rigid alphabetic tyranny. Even attempts to shade the picture with pluses and minuses are inadequate substitutes for thorough evaluation. Tests and exams are not a fail-safe measure of what a student actually knows and understands, and offer scant recognition of individual’s learning strengths and weaknesses. And it’s frightening to contemplate how many positions of responsibility, in our 21st century world, are occupied by people who gained their qualifications by dint of cramming, regurgitating the opinions of others without developing any facility for critical thinking, and taking tests that have long since been all but forgotten. And yet, given the realities of that world – and the place we are preparing for our children in it – it seems unfair to deprive them of a key tool for progress. Even given the shortcomings of a traditional letter grade, it has endured because we need a short form of evaluation, as well as more comprehensive forms. It’s the reason that hotels and restaurants and movies receive star ratings – in the real world, few take time to read and balance all reviews. We worry, as well, about what will happen when a young student who has never received such a “summative” grade collides with more senior environments that demand them. Reform education by all means – but don’t threaten our children’s progress, or crush their expectations, through asymmetrical reform.

Even if you’re a renter and never paid much mind to assessment notices or property tax rates, a portion of your monthly rent cheque will end up going to help your building’s owner pay property taxes. This year’s assessment roll will be the basis upon which more than $6.2 billion is raised in property taxes, money that helps pay for schools, local roads, municipal services like garbage collection, and sewers and recreational facilities. Heck, a bit of that money even goes to pay for BC Assessment, which is supported by property tax levies. In fact, in 2011 the assessment process cost each property $40.25. Of course, BC Assessment doesn’t generate all this information just to make it easy for newspapers to fill space. Tim Morrison, the company’s acting manager of communications, says it’s all about making as much data readily available so property owners can easily understand their assessment. That’s why only about 1.2 per cent of assessments were appealed last year, down from 1.5 per cent a few years ago. “Every year we have to work at reinventing ourselves as a place of information,” says Morrison. And the hunger for that information seems insatiable, says Morrison. “People are curious. There are certain things people talk about and real estate is one of those in B.C. It’s heightened when we release the assessment rolls every year.” Mario Bartel is a reporter at the Burnaby-New West NewsLeader.

Subsidies for drivers, too

Display of compassion

Editor: Re: PAN online question of the week, Jan. 2-8. I am quite disappointed to see that 79 per cent responded ‘no’ to the question: “Should drivers subsidize public transit through gas hikes?” However, I find that the way the question was worded was somewhat misleading, in that it positions this debate as a commuters-versusdrivers question, where commuters seem to benefit from a long list of government subsidies. The fact is that drivers are heavily subsidized by all taxpayers in the construction and maintenance of streets, roads and highways. While these subsidies also benefit people who take the bus, bus commuters also use gas for their transportation and will also end up paying for the higher gas taxes, as these costs will be ultimately reflected in ticket prices. People who choose to drive should be happy to see the expansion of public transit, as it takes people off the road and decreases congestion and the need to spend yet more tax dollars on roads. In the end, no matter what, there is no such thing as a free ride for anyone and we should all work together to develop the best combination of private and public transit solutions. Sylvie Peltier, White Rock

Editor: Last Wednesday, at 4:30 p.m., my son and I were enjoying a meal at the White Spot Restaurant at 152 Street and 17 Avenue in South Surrey on a dark, rainy afternoon. We were distracted when the darkness was lit up with flashing emergency lights at the intersection. A police vehicle was blocking the intersection, and we immediately thought the worse – that a pedestrian had been struck while in the crosswalk. We soon realized, however, that everyone was fine and that one of our elderly citizens was having difficulty crossing the street in a timely manner. The light had turned red, and this person was only halfway across the street. A police officer had blocked the

intersection with his vehicle, put the emergency lights on and was safely assisting the elderly person across the street. It was very heartwarming to witness this act of kindness. Thank you to this officer for your compassion. Too often we see people do nothing and just go on about their day. My son – who happens to be developmentally delayed, and has limited communication skills – is always very concerned when he sees emergency vehicles and will always ask me “what happened?” So, as usual, when he saw the flashing emergency lights, he was concerned. Once I realized what was happening, I told him that the policeman was helping someone get across the street. My son replied in his limited capacity, “Aw, he’s a good man.” Darlene Jensen and Jace Greenhalgh, White Rock

Quietly paying for Interpol Open letter to MP Russ Hiebert. I would like you to explain to your constituents why the taxpayers of this great country are paying $8,000 per month for apartment rental – in addition to an annual salary of more than $230,000 – to the former commissioner of the RCMP, William Elliot, who is now sitting in New York acting as a “special representative of Interpol to the United Nations.” His arrangement was made by a hush-hush order-in-council in 2011. At the same time, you might also explain why we are picking up the tab for the new Internet reality series, 24 Seven, featuring Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Should not the Conservative party be paying for this blatant propaganda? Terry Garvey, Surrey

Follow Delta’s lead on parking An open letter to Surrey council. Last week I was given my second parking ticket at my local medical clinic, after reaching the end of my one hour that I had paid for. This was the result of my medical consultation starting late and going longer than expected. In no way am I criticizing our medical experts for this overrun, as they provide sterling services that are difficult to schedule with the wide variety of situations involved. What was shocking to discover was Imperial Parking have the authority to demand a $60 payment in seven days – or $80 if paid later – for a small infraction. I sincerely request council to pass a bylaw banning parking fees on lots associated with provision of medical services throughout Surrey. This type of restriction on gouging medical “victims” has already been passed by Delta council, demonstrating strong public leadership. If Surrey council is not brave enough to take on these parking monsters, then please consider a bylaw that would force these companies to have their fees and penalty charges in Surrey reviewed annually and approved by council or city staff before implementation. I ask other citizens, taxpayers and voters to join me in urging Surrey to follow Delta’s public spirited restrictions on medical parking. Herbert Spencer, Surrey

Improvements to Surrey Memorial Hospital were among last year’s accomplishments, writes David Mitchell.

Prudent with health-care funds Editor: As we move into 2014, I think it’s a good time to thank all Fraser Health staff, physicians and volunteers, who work tirelessly to meet the health needs of the people that live in our region. During the past year, Fraser Health’s 12 hospitals saw 615,000 emergency visits, 15,000 births, and one million patient days. We also saw increases in our residential care, home health, mental health and substance use, and other community services. The demand for health care continues to increase, which isn’t surprising, given we provide service to one of the fastest- David Mitchell growing regions in Canada, with a population of 1.7 million, a third of all British Columbians. This past year we opened a new emergency at Surrey Memorial Hospital, the second largest in Canada, and one that serves our entire region with a dedicated pediatric emergency and specialized care for mental health and substance use provided in a separate zone. We look forward to opening the rest of the critical care tower this June. It will feature a new and expanded

intensive-care unit, a specialized stroke unit and additional beds to meet the need for hospital care by our growing population in Fraser Health. We are proud of this $512-million project, which represents the largest single capital investment in B.C. health care. In addition to continuing investments in all our hospitals, the health-care system needs to evolve from one focused on hospital services to one that places more emphasis on services in the community and the home. With the right supports, we believe that home can be the best place to recover from illness or injury, to manage chronic conditions, and to live out final days. Late last year, the minister of health asked me to co-chair a strategic and operational review of Fraser Health. I welcome this opportunity to work with health leaders across B.C. to identify potential strategies that will make for an even better – and sustainable – healthcare system, not only in Fraser Health, but across B.C. I am proud that Fraser Health is committed to providing quality care, while having one of the lowest administrative costs of any health region in Canada. We will continue to be prudent with the public funding we receive. Thank you for entrusting your care in us. David Mitchell, Fraser Health board chair

Marine paving job to cost 1.5M When it came to voting on a contract to pave four blocks of White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marine Drive, Coun. Helen Fathers wanted to know the work would take care of the popular stripâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;wonkiness.â&#x20AC;? Assured it would, Fathers joined her peers in giving unanimous approval Monday to awarding the $1.5-million contract to Imperial Paving Ltd. The project will address the stretch of Marine between High Street and Bishop Road. In a report to council, director of engineering Greg St. Louis explained the rehabilitation follows completion of storm and sanitary

sewer-system upgrades along the stretch. That $1.3-million (including tax and contingency) project was awarded to Pedre Contractors Ltd. in the fall of 2012. At $1,488,872 (plus GST), Imperial Pavingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bid was the lowest received. St. Louis said the project is about $623,000 under budget. The work is scheduled to get underway early next month and take about 80 days. Coun. Al Campbell, who is an Imperial Paving employee, declared a conflict and did not participate in Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vote. Coun. Larry Robinson was absent. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tracy Holmes

HUGE CLEARANCE

Thursday, January 16, 2014 Peace Peace Arch Arch News News

Tax hike approved S A L E % White Rock residents will see their property-tax bills increase by 3.25 per cent this year, following council’s approval Monday of the 2014-2018 financial plan bylaw. “The impact that that has is $96 on an average detached single-family home, and $35 on an average strata property in the city,” financial services

director Sandra Kurylo told PAN. The bump is two per cent lower than the 5.25 per cent increase that staff had initially recommended. The 3.25 per cent figure was arrived at by finding $378,000 in savings and/or new revenue; in part, through deferring the start dates of two recommended new staff positions.

IT company ID’d as tenant i from page 1 A decision on the amendments had been stymied Dec. 16 by a split vote, when Coun. Louise Hutchinson was absent. With Robinson absent this week, Campbell asked to again postpone the vote. Baldwin declined. The amendments passed 4-2, with Fathers and Campbell opposed. Baldwin told Peace Arch News after the meeting that Robinson’s absence didn’t affect the outcome of the vote. Delaying the vote would have been costly, Baldwin added, noting a fiveyear $400,000 lease is in the process of being finalized with an IT company, formerly Prizebox Entertainment. Company CEO Tracy Wattie told PAN by email Tuesday that Prizebox is now Brabeia Inc.

Regarding leasing the building, Wattie said only that “we are happy with whichever outcome the city council determines is best for our community.” City manager Dan Bottrill would not confirm a tenant, citing ongoing lease negotiations. In protesting commercial use of the building, Fathers criticized the “backwards” process. She told council that a member of the public was advised of the incoming tenant on Dec. 17. “The decision to rent the building and tenant has already been decided behind closed doors,” she said. “This is everything that’s wrong with politics in general, but especially in White Rock – the constant retrofitting of ideas and concepts to suit the needs of city hall and political viewpoints.”

Charity donates custom tricycle to White Rock family

The story of a boy and his bike Sarah Massah

Staff Reporter

ll seven-year-old Jack McGinn wanted for Christmas was his two front teeth. At least that’s what grandpa Gordon jokes when Jack smiles, showing off his pearly whites. And it might be true, seeing as the White Rock Elementary student received his ultimate dream present of a slick, cherry-red tricycle in the summer of 2012. It’s a pretty hard gift to top. The custom-built ride would be a welcomed present for any little boy. But for McGinn, who has Global Developmental Delay and was recently diagnosed with autism, the tricycle – gifted to him from Variety the Children’s Charity – has provided him with the opportunity to enjoy a favourite childhood pastime, just like his peers. Jack – who will be appearing on the annual Variety Show of Hearts Telethon Jan. 25-26 – was first diagnosed at three months old, after friends and family repeatedly commented on how his head would fall back when they were holding him. “Finally, I was getting tired of people asking me so I took him to the doctor,” mom Julie said. “Right away, when he picked him up, he knew. His muscle tone was low. And as soon as I heard that, your heart kind of sinks.” Following the doctor’s visit, Jack was referred to a pediatrician and, after three months of tests and blood work, the family received his diagnosis. As a result of the Global Development Delay – caused by an extra copy of part of chromosome 15

Jack McGinn, 7, rides his custom trike with his grandfather, Gordon Tansley (near right). The trike, given to him from Variety the Children’s Charity in 2012, replaced the one his grandmother, Diane (far right), made him, which he outgrew. Contributed photos

being attached in each cell – Jack is non-responsive and has the mental capacity of a one to two year old, grandfather Gordon Tansley explained. However, each day brings a little more progress, especially with the help of his family, who encourages his love of singing – even when it’s Christmas carols in June – and the tricycle, which was custom-made for him through Motion Specialities B.C. and paid for by Variety after months of work from Gordon and his wife, Diane. “I couldn’t have done it without them,” Julie said. The single mom of two – older brother, Liam, is 11 – noted that the amount of time needed to go through the proper channels in order to get the bike would have been too much for her to take on. When Jack was two, his grandparents took an old bike and attached straps so that Jack could ride it. However, he soon outgrew the bike and the cost for another proved to be too expensive. But after two years without having a bicycle to ride on, Diane and Gordon were determined to get Jack pedaling again. “It took quite a while. The doctor has to fill out forms and then you have to pull up financials. It’s an endurance race,” Diane said, noting the family shelled out a few extra dollars to have the bike painted red. With the tricycle, Jack’s able to participate in play, just like the other children at his school. “It’s really helped lighten the load,” Diane said. “I’m not sure if he really processes it with the other kids thinking, ‘hey, I’ve got my bike, I’m like you,’ but others see it, they see he can get around. “And once he’s on there, just try and catch him.”

Surrey couple wins $5 million Dereje Kinfe knew it would happen one day. So when the Surrey man finally won the lottery last week, he did exactly as he had promised and paid his wife a visit at her workplace. “I always told her, one day I’m going to win big and then I will come to your work and tell you,” said Kinfe, 44. His wife, Hiwot, spotted him outside her salon last week and could tell something was up. “He couldn’t wipe the smile off his face and I knew he had won something,” she said. Kinfe was the $5-million jackpot winner in the Jan. 4 Lotto 6/49 draw. He had bought his ticket before work that day and checked the numbers right away the following day. As more and more zeros appeared on the store clerk’s computer monitor, Kinfe let out a small scream. “People began crowding around and congratulating me,” he said. He took the day off work to let the win sink in and

Q just for the health of it! Q looking to learn something new – register now! Q january is alzheimer awareness month. Q boost your immune system.

January is

ALZHEIMER AWARENESS MONTH Keep those brain cells working! During the month of January, which is Alzheimer Awareness Month, we should all become more aware of the fact that this illness is affecting younger and younger people. In Canada, more than 71,000 people affected by Alzheimer’s or a related dementia, are less than 65 years old, a figure which represents about 15% of all the victims of this disease. This information allows us to see another side of Alzheimer’s: that of the actual and future impact of this neurodegenerative disease on society as a whole. Our health care system will be affected as well as all types of businesses and industries. Indeed the generation most affected by this disease are the baby-boomers, many of whom are our leaders and mentors.

Canadians are invited to do everything they can, and must do, to lessen the impact of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. The greatest known risk factor is increasing age so it is important to keep our brains working in order to give it the exercise it needs. Just as physical activity improves the functioning of the body, cerebral activity can help reduce the risks of contracting Alzheimer’s disease: play games,which exercise the brain (chess, letter and number games, jigsaw puzzles, crosswords…) explore new interests such as learning how to play a musical instrument or take classes; modify your routine, read and participate in cultural activities; continue hobbies or discover new ones, etc. By never forgetting to play, to learn, to communicate, to think, we contribute directly to the well-being of our brains.

Contemporary neuroscience has revealed that our brains grow from the foundation up. This foundation governs our emotions, and it is optimally formed by immersing children in worlds that are “relationally rich.” Our children today are growing up relatively isolated, without the benefit of traditions that keep them marinating in the companionship of nuclear and extended family, villages, and communities. This void has occurred at the same time that the pressures on children have increased - they have to be “ready to learn” at younger

and younger ages; they are in multiple extracurricular activities; they are required to sit for long hours at desks in classrooms and “perform.” In order to fend off anxiety, we (parents, teachers, etc.) are left to backfill this relational void by finding ways to have the children in our care resolutely believe in the enduring comfort of the relational connection we share with them. It ultimately comes down to the most simple, readily available, affordable answer – relationship. In the literal and figurative arms of those who care for them, the anxious child can indeed find rest.

Just for the health of it! Say goodbye to those extra pounds!

Change is Possible

The beginning of each New Year brings a desire for change and, often enough, a real need to get our act together concerning the loss of those extra pounds which weigh heavily on our self-esteem and our health in general.

Compassionate & specialized counselling services for all family members • Individual Counselling • Child Counselling and Play Therapy • Family Therapy • Adolescent Therapy • Parent Child Relationship Therapy • Couples Therapy

But where do we start? Most nutritionists usually advocate the same formula: permanent weight loss can only be achieved through changes in our diet combined with a more active lifestyle.

As far as physical activity is concerned, it’s important to start gradually and consult a doctor if necessary. The objective is to build up to 30 minutes of moderate physical activity, every day if possible.

Do you suffer with skin disease? Chinese medicine, as practiced in hospital settings around the world, can be a very effective and safe treatment for many skin ailments,

And what about your eating habits? Crash diets are not recommended as the lost pounds will soon reappear. The best method is, once again, to start gradually. For example, you could set yourself the objective of adopting a new, healthier eating habit each week such as replacing the evening’s rich dessert with a yogurt or a fruit salad. Depending on personality and the number of pounds which need to be lost, some people may want to attend weekly group meetings to keep their motivation levels high. Others will rely on low-fat prepared meals or even meal substitutes to simplify their lives and make their objectives easier to attain. Once those objectives are met, it will be much easier to maintain a healthy weight. The important thing to remember is to make use of all available resources to attain your goal.

Over the course of winter… It’s time to register for winter activities; whether it is a class in dancing, swimming, painting, history or languages; taken at the neighbourhood community center, the local high school, college, or university; as a recreational activity for adults or an extracurricular activity for children. All reasons are good to sign up for a course this January. These activities are an important part of our daily lives. Taking a course allows us to perfect ourselves, to acquire new knowledge, and to create meaningful bonds. Taking a course in skating, ballet, guitar, or some other activity, often provides elementary and secondary grade students an opportunity to blossom and to shine. After experiencing some success in an area other than academics, students are better prepared to overcome some of their scholastic difficulties. Since we are spending less time outdoors, January is a good time for adults to act on their intentions to master computers, accounting, administration, etc. Do you plan on visiting a foreign country next summer? Italy, France, Spain? Taking a language class now will make your trip much easier and much more enjoyable. Do you want to get in shape for summer? You have a multitude of courses to choose from: pilates, yoga, aqua fitness, belly dancing and many more. Over the course of winter… we take courses! Let’s take advantage of this time to update our skills or acquire new ones. It’s the perfect time to make new friends and discover new talents!

Stay Healthy this Flu Season Health officials urge all ages to get flu shot

health Q healing Q well-being Q balance Experience the beneƤts of Acupuncture

It’s the time of year that many on the Semiahmoo Peninsula are taking a good look at their health and wellness. Unfortunately for many, it’s also time for fighting off nasty cold and flu viruses. According to provincial health officials, this year’s flu strain is especially severe, with dozens of patients requiring hospitalization as a result of the illness. Unusual this flu season, however, is the fact that the strain seems to be targeting otherwise healthy people in their 20s, 30s and 40s. Most years, doctors note that elderly and very young patients are most at risk for complications; this year seems to be a different story. “We’re surprised at how many (patients) have come in such a short period of time with such severe diseases,” Dr. Paul Van Buynder, chief medical officer of Fraser Health told Black Press. Health officials are recommending people get a flu vaccine in light of the the viruses surge in the past few weeks. The vaccine is of particular importance to pregnant women, according to a study released earlier this monthly Dalhousie University in Halifax. According to the study – which followed more than 12,000 expectant mothers in the two years following the 2009 H1N1 outbreak – women who are vaccinated against the flu are less likely to deliver premature or low-birth-weight babies. Despite reports of a shortage across the province, the vaccination is still widely available at pharmacies, health clinics and doctors offices. To find a flu clinic near you, visit www.immunizebc.ca or call HealthLink BC at 811. “We are urging those who have not already had their flu shot to get one. It is not too late,” Van Buynder said.

Bayside players selected for international Sevens tourney

RCMP finals set for Saturday

Sharks set for Vegas

Three advance Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

A handful of South Surrey rugby players will be among 36 from across the province heading to Las Vegas for the USA Sevens High School Invitational later this month. The prestigious event – the first of the year for the provincial program – is set to hit the pitch in Sin City on Jan. 23. Team BC will enter multiple teams into the tournament – two under-18 sides in the Elite division, plus an under-17 team in the Open category. The provincial U18 team’s roster includes a handful of Bayside Rugby Club members, including Joseph Carter – who attends Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary – Nick Collett (Southridge), Nico Docolas (Elgin Park), Matt Gallagher (Semiahmoo), Cali Martinez Cali Martinez (Earl Marriott) and Andrew Team BC O’Connor (Elgin Park). Of that group, Martinez, Collett and Docolas are returnees, having advanced to the finals of the 2013 tournament. At the U17 level, the Team BC roster will include one local – Keenan Houde (Earl Marriott), while Team BC’s U18 girls team will also include one local name – Clayton Heights Secondary’s Chantal McLean. “Chantal has shown a work ethic that drives the players around her,” said U18 women’s coach Brad Skene in a news release. Though the U18 boys advance to the finals last year – and were undefeated at the 2012 tournament – B.C. head coach Shane Thompson knows winning it all this year will be a challenge, considering their competition includes top provincial teams from across Canada, as well as state champions from across the United States. “We certainly have our work cut out for us,” he said. “Teams in the tournament are more organized and are getting better every year. We can’t think about what we’ve achieved in the past. (We) have lots of work to do if we hope to make it to the final again.”

The Surrey RCMP Basketball Classic is off to a good start for a trio of south-end senior boys basketball teams. On Tuesday afternoon, the Southridge Storm, Tamanawis Wildcats and Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers all won their firstround contests, advancing to the second round of play Wednesday. The Storm advanced to the second round of the 23-team tournament after a 68-52 win over the Johnston Heights Eagles Tuesday at Fleetwood Park Secondary, while the Tweedsmuir Panthers punched their ticket to the next round of the bracket after narrowly defeating the Pacific Academy Breakers, 71-68. Meanwhile, at Tamanawis, the Wildcats – who were the runners up at last year’s tournament and among the favourites to win it all this year – defeated Princess Margaret handily, 97-44. At the other end of the spectrum, Semiahmoo lost its opening-round tilt 68-50 to Kwantlen Park. During the qualifying round Sunday, two other south-end teams were bounced to the B pool after losses. Clayton Heights lost 73-53 to L.A. Matheson, while Elgin Park was felled 66-58 by Princess Margaret. Wednesday’s games were all played after Peace Arch News’ press deadline. The semifinals are set for Friday night at 5:45 and 7:45 p.m. at Enver Creek Secondary, with the championship game Saturday at 7:45 p.m. A 20-team junior boys bracket is also currently underway. Junior semifinals are set for Friday, with the final at noon Saturday at Enver Creek.

Valley West drops both games of weekend doubleheader

Losses cut into Hawks’ lead Rick Kupchuk Black Press

What was once a six-point deficit for teams chasing the Valley West Hawks for third place has been cut in half. The Hawks dropped both ends of a BC Hockey Major Midget League doubleheader with the Vancouver Canadians last weekend, and now have just a three-point lead on the Vancouver Chiefs in the standings, with the Canadians just four points back. Valley West had won 17 of 26 games prior to the holiday break, but resumed league play with a

2-1 loss in Richmond Saturday and an 8-2 setback Sunday at the Langley Events Centre. The weekend started well for the Hawks, who took a 1-0 lead into the third period of Saturday’s game, only to give up a pair of goals in the final 15 minutes. Jesse Lansdell netted the Valley West goal with Justin Wilde earning an assist. The Canadians twice scored two goals in less than a minute in the opening period of Sunday’s contest, and led by three goals after 20 minutes. Goals 52 seconds apart lifted them to a 2-0 lead before Lansdell got

They led 8-1 before the Hawks netted their second goal, scored by Bradley. The Hawks will play twice again next week, hosting the lastplace Kootenay Ice at the Langley Events Centre. Also this week, Bradley was named the BCMML’s player of the month for December. Bradley tallied 11 goals and eight assists in seven games, moving into second place in league scoring

Welcome to the driver’s seat

This h new Q50 llooks k great, has a wonderful interior, power to spare and solid handling dynamics. Zack Spencer

Visit the Q50 photo gallery at DrivewayBC.ca

2014 Infiniti Q50 challenges the old order Infiniti has had a bit of an identity crisis over the past year with a wholesale change in the way it names its products. Gone is the JX crossover, it’s called the QX60 now and the G 37 sedan has been replaced with the Q50 sedan. Q signifies for cars and QX for crossovers or SUVs. The outgoing G37 was already a very worthy on-road performer but a bit too simplistic in the inside. Now, Infiniti has taken things up a notch with the Q50, adding a dynamic look, sumptuous interior and class leading technology. Looks It could be argued that the current BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class are a bit conservative, while this Q50 and the major competitor, Lexus IS, are much edgier. This is especially true with the front grille. The rest of the Q50 is nicely sculpted, with flowing lines and an almost elegant rear end. Sold as a base model, sport trim, all wheel drive (AWD), premium, and even a hybrid, there is a broad market for this sedan. Starting at $37,500 and ramping up to the AWD sport model at $49,950, there is a substantial discount with the Q50 when you compare it to a similarly equipped BMW. The base model comes with 17-inch wheels but most of the higher trim levels are equipped with 19-inch wheels. The car seen here is the AWD premium model starting at $43,400. Inside The Q50 centre console is very attractive with two screens placed for radio functions and the second for the

handling dynamics. On price, the BMW 328i AWD is the closest and starts at $46,200 but is equipped with a 241hp 4-cylinder. The direct competitor on power is the much more expensive 335is AWD. The Lexus IS350 AWD is another premium offering from Japan, and it starts at a very competitive $44,000. As much as the Japanese automakers like to challenge the German makers, they really end up competing with each other. Yes, this is a worthy car but the one thing you cannot factor into the buying decision is the badge appeal that storied brands like Mercedes, BMW and Audi provide.

What is your favourite brand of car and what model specifically do you like? Please explain why you have made that decision.

Safety Tip: When extreme winter road conditions hit, it’s a good idea to think about whether you even need to get behind the wheel. If you have the option, consider public transit or carpool with some who has a vehicle prepared for the conditions. Also consider leaving for work just a little later to allow crews to clear the roads.

By Alexandra Straub So, you’re not married. That’s okay! You don’t have kids? No worries. You pretty much have the pick of the litter when it comes to buying a car. Why? Because you don’t necessarily have specific requirements that need to be met when selecting a vehicle. Meaning, you don’t need to consider having a large enough backseat to fit car seats, unless you want a big back seat for other reasons. Like, you have a dog that weighs as much as an adult. Unless your profession requires you to haul around equipment or gear, you don’t have to buy a crossover, minivan, sedan or SUV if you don’t want to. That said, many singles I know decide to get something a little less “practical” in the grand scheme of things. Less practicality is usually spelled with five letters: coupe. So, to those who are the alpha of their one-person wolf pack, here are a few coupes under $30K: Honda Accord Coupe: Base MSRP $26,400 I’m starting off with the Accord because it’s a cool car. The current generation has so much going for it and definitely has developed more personality in the redesign. You have the option of two engines: a more economical 2.4L 4-cylinder or a more powerful 3.5L V6. Either way, you can get them equipped with a 6-speed manual or a CVT transmission. Only the EX-L Navi trim with the V6 has the option of a 6-speed automatic transmission. No matter how you slice it, you’re getting a great car. Better yet, it has a decent cargo capacity of 379L so you could easily dump your hockey gear inside. MINI Coupe/ Roadster: Base MSRP $25,950/$28,900 With room for two, even the base model of MINI Coupe or Roadster is a hoot. Specs-wise, it has the least impressive engine of the lot (only putting out 121 horsepower,) but that can be overlooked because of via driving dynamics. It has one of the best manual gearboxes for a car of its size and has plenty of pep. They’re not cheap, though. So it has that working against it in some regards. Dodge Challenger: Base MSRP $26,995 If you’re driving a Dodge Challenger, you’re getting noticed. You don’t even need to have the grunt and roar

Off-road performance with on-road comforts The 2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid is on a quest, to get your family where you need to go on as little fuel as possible.

Looks: One of the biggest changes last year was the switch from body-on-frame to a unibody construction. This reduced the overall weight, which makes a big difference on the fuel economy. The shape and design characteristics of this truck have changed, much smoother lines, and more aerodynamic. I remember the first Pathfinder introduced in 1986 and aimed at capturing some of the Toyota 4runner buyers. It looked promising but never completely took off. I think the focus was more on the off-road when it should have been more on-road with the ability to travel off-road. This version has done this, taking design cues and comfort from the Nissan Rogue and creating a larger crossover capable of transporting seven.

In The Cab: My tester was the Platinum edition. It came equipped with leather seats with 8 way power adjustability, It has the ability to 4 way power for the front drive down a gravel passenger, EZ flex seating system with 2nd row 60/40 road or up to the ski split fold-flat bench seat, hill, but Nissan has and 3rd row 50/50 split made sure it is also as fold flat reclining bench seat. The leather wrapped comfortable as a road steering wheel is heated car and as fuel-efficient and is a nice feature. There as it can be. is plenty of wood tone trim but it is not overdone, Ian Harwood giving it a rich feel. Bose audio system with 13 speakers, AM/FM/CD, SiriusXM, auxiliary audio input jack, USB connection, streaming audio via Bluetooth, steering wheel mounted audio controls and speed sensitive volume control and just some of the comforts you will find in the Pathfinder Platinum. The around view monitor uses four cameras to create a composite image from above and displays it on the touch screen monitor. This helps show the vehicle’s position relative to the lines around the parking space and guides you in easily.

Roadworthy: This vehicle does remind me of the Nissan Rogue. It is larger but feels very similar and that’s a good thing. I think Nissan is heading in the right direction with this vehicle. If studies show limited use off-road, then why spend money making this an off-road vehicle? It has the ability to drive down a gravel road or up to the ski hill but Nissan has made sure it is also as comfortable as a road car and as fuel-efficient as it can be.

Verdict: I think Nissan thought outside of the box on this one and was not afraid to start fresh and create something new. Price as tested $50,893 ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

The 2014 Nissan Pathfinder is comfortable, fuel-efficient and powerful.

Did somebody change the curb lane into the fast lane and not tell me? A day never passes when I don’t see drivers zipping down major drags in the curb lane, cutting in at the last second to avoid piling into a parked car.

By Rob Sass The original air-cooled VW Beetle lasted an incredible 58 years in production, during which time it was fundamentally unchanged. Although nearly everyone of a certain age has at least one Beetle story or fond memory, there are a few things still not generally known about the beloved car. Here are five noteworthy facts: 1. The original classic Beetle didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave production until 2003, although it was last sold in North America in 1979 (by which time the water-cooled Rabbit had replaced it), the original air-cooled Beetle was produced in Puebla, Mexico, until 2003. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essentially identical to the cars produced in Germany for export to the U.S. in the 1970s. 2. The original Beetle was the brainchild of Adolf Hitler. Keen to put ordinary Germans on the newly constructed autobahn superhighways in their

1966 Volkswagen Beetle. own cars, a subsidized savings plan involving a coupon booklet was devised. When a family filled their booklet, they were supposed to get their car. WWII intervened and all pre-war Beetle deliveries were limited to Nazi party officials. 3. Germans donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember it as fondly as we do because of its connection with the dictator who brought ruin to their country. And it serves as a reminder of the lean times before the West

German economic miracle took hold meaning post-war Germans donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the same feelings about the Beetle that American ex-hippies do. 4. The Beetle may have been inexpensive, but it was never cheap. Gaps were tight and doors sealed well. Additionally, it was a unibody car with a very flat floor with few openings. All of this meant that the car would actually float for at least several minutes after hitting the water before turning into a small sub! 5. The Beetle was the subject of one of the most influential ad campaigns of the 20th century. It was among the first national campaigns to utilize irony and self-deprecating wit. A tiny photo of a Beetle in a sea of white space with the headline â&#x20AC;&#x153;Think Smallâ&#x20AC;? was the first of the ads introduced in 1959 by the agency Doyle Dane Bernbach.

All in the details at Boffo Development’s Adagio By Kerry Vital

Boffo Developments is bringing hotel-style sophistication to South Surrey with its newest development, Adagio. With a variety of floorplans and amazing features, there are plenty of things that set the project apart, including an amazing community courtyard with trees, paths and garden plots. The one-, two- and three-bedroom homes are spacious and inviting, with nine-foot ceilings (15 feet on the top floor),

expansive windows and large terraces and patios. Boffo is known for high-quality work, but it’s one room in the home that really draws people in: the kitchen. The natural granite or quartz slab countertops are matched with a complementary backsplash. The under-cabinet and recessed lighting easily illuminates your tasks, and the stainless-steel appliances and 40-inch upper cabinets are perfectly situated. Large kitchen islands feature a wine chiller and tons of space for food preparation or casual dining.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

The bathrooms are luxurious and soothing, with either an oversize shower with frameless glass enclosure or an oversize soaker tub/shower combination.

Residents at Adagio will find everything they can possibly imagine on their front doorstep. From dining at one of the delicious local restaurants to shopping at nearby Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, Morgan Crossing or Grandview Corners, nothing is out of reach. Leisure and recreation is also close by, with several parks, pools, arenas and clubs in the neighbourhood, as well as White Rock beach. On-site, homeowners at Adagio will find a residents lounge with chef ’s demonstration kitchen, double-sided fireplace, televisions, pool tables and a large garden and patio area.

Tate on Howe, a new 40-storey tower in downtown Vancouver, will be close to everything that the city has to offer, from the nightlife in Yaletown to the shopping and dining on Robson Street and entertainment on Granville Street.

Downtown living at Tate on Howe By Kerry Vital

Artistic downtown living has come to Vancouver with Tate on Howe, a new condominium development from Bonds Group of Companies that offers not only gorgeous one- and two-bedroom homes but also an amazing collection and amenities and a location that can’t be easily beat. “We’ve just begun offering homes to

the public and are very pleased with the response we’ve received,” says Tracy McRae, vice-president of development for Bonds Group of Companies. “Vancouver has a very competitive landscape and well-educated buyers; they know quality when they see it.” The exterior has been designed by Merrick Architecture, and will be a striking part of the Vancouver skyline. The 40-storey tower will maximize water and city views, with huge windows designed to let the light pour in. Inside, you’ll find high ceilings (8’6”, with 9’ on the 34th floor and above) and spacious floorplans designed for comfortable living. The kitchens are fit for any aspiring chef, with imported European cabinetry systems by Eggersmann, chic polished-edge quartz countertops and a dramatic iridescent mosaic tile backsplash. The stainless-steel appliances include a Miele gas cooktop and wall oven.

The bathrooms hold their own Eggersmann European cabinetry, complemented by quartz countertops and a deep full-size soaker tub. Select homes feature separate showers and his-and-hers sinks in the ensuite. “Each of our homes pair thoughtful design with artistic flair and will truly be an oasis in the city,” McRae says. Homeowners will have access to the Tate Clubhouse, an amenities space that holds a fireside lounge and library with over-height ceilings, social room with a chef ’s kitchen and formal dining area, fitness facilities, a billiards room, 12-seat surround sound theatre and business facilities such as a meeting room and conference room. There will also a terrace garden on the fifth floor with a water feature and sheltered courtyards. Residents will also be part of High Street of the Arts, a 10,000-square-foot art space

dedicated to the City of Vancouver. “Featuring four storeys and an open concept design, we are very excited to see how the City uses this space to improve the arts and culture opportunities in the city,” says McRae. “This dedication to the arts is a theme throughout Tate on Howe from the luxuriantly designed common areas to the smallest of details.” Tate on Howe is within walking distance to the night life in Yaletown, the shopping and dining on Robson Street, entertainment on Granville Street, and the beaches, marinas and seawall at Stanley Park. Homes start at $268,000. For more information, check out tateonhowe.com, call 604-568-8283 or visit the presentation centre at 100-1265 Howe Street, open daily except Fridays between noon and 5 p.m.

OBITUARIES

July 3, 1924 – January 11, 2014

LEACH, Billy Ewart June 10, 1922 - Dec 21, 2013 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Dad, Grandpa, GreatGrandpa and husband. Bill passed away at Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock, BC on Saturday, December 21st, 2013 at the age of 91. He is lovingly remembered by his wife Irene of 65 years, his son John (Lucille), daughters Cindy, Debbie (Tony) and stepdaughter Donna (Arvid); sister Betty; grandchildren Ron (Jacque), Karen, Torin (Debbie), Erin, Maddison, Harley, Jenavieve, Emma; great-grandchildren Jacob, Ashley, Amanda, Nathan and Addison. Bill was predeceased by his son Kerry in 1990 and brothers Herb, Archie and sister Hazel. Bill was born in Edmonton on June 10, 1922. The Leach family moved to Smithers, BC in 1923 where he spent his school years along with playing his beloved hockey & baseball. Bill served overseas with the RCAF from 1941 - 1945, returned to Smithers where he and Irene were married in 1948. He spent most of his working years with his brothers Herb & Archie in the grocery and later hotel business. Bill took an early retirement in August 1977 due to a heart condition and from then on travel was limited due to health.However, Bill & Irene were able to spend 10 to 12 years wintering in Arizona where they enjoyed their golf & many new friends. By this time they were living in South Surrey, BC, where Irene is presently residing close to family. Bill will be deeply missed by his family and friends. At Bill’s request, no formal service is planned. His family will have a private party in his honour at a later date. In lieu of flowers, a donation to Canuck Place would be appreciated.

LACATE, Adelene Yu Kheng January 9, 2014 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Adelene (Addy) Lacate (nee Lee) on Thursday, January 9 after a prolonged battle with illness. Addy was born on July 4, 1966 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. At the age of thirteen, she immigrated to Canada with her family, where she attended Burnaby Central High School. Addy’s varied career included stints in the food and hospitality industry at the Boathouse, in the business and investment community with Barretto Pacific Corp and Chai-Na-Ta Corp, and in the medical community with the Fraser Health Authority. Addy had lived in the South Surrey/ White Rock community since moving there as a newlywed in 1997, and she was so proud to call the area home. She was deeply involved in many of her children’s activities and relished being a “hockey mom”. Addy’s greatest achievement in life was her ability to make others feel loved. Addy was a devoted and loving mother and a cherished wife. Addy is predeceased by her parents, Lawrence and Mona Lee. Addy is survived by her husband Russ, sons Jacob and Spencer and mother-in-law Marilyn. She will be greatly missed by all of the wonderful cousins and aunts and uncles of the Lee family, and by her dear girlfriends who were by her side until the end. Special thanks to the doctors and nurses and care workers at the BC Cancer Clinic at Surrey Memorial Hospital and to the wonderful and caring medical staff at Peace Arch Hospice. A Visitation will be held Saturday, January 18, 2014 from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre, 14831 28th Avenue, Surrey, BC, followed by a Celebration of Life Service at 1:00 pm.

OBITUARIES

MILLER, WILLIAM (BILL) CHARLES

MARCH 5, 1939 – JANUARY 11, 2014 Bill passed away peacefully on Saturday January 11th, 2014 at Peace Arch Hospice surrounded by his loving family. Bill is survived by his wife of 51 years Hilda (nee Huber), son Cameron, daughter-in-law Meg, daughter Janet McDougall, son-in-law Craig and six grandchildren, Declan, Kyle, Michaela, Evan, Callum and Paige. Bill is predeceased by his parents Edward (Ted) and Isabelle and his sister Sally. He is also survived by brothers Robert (Bob) (Jean), John (Louise) and Carl (Diane) as well as many nieces and nephews. He will be missed by all his family and by the extended Huber family. Bill was born and grew up in Edmunston, New Brunswick. After graduating from Cormier High School, Bill attended Mount Allison University. However, after two years he followed his dream and joined the Royal Canadian Air Force and after training was posted to Winnipeg. He left the Air Force in 1960, stayed in Winnipeg and met the love of his life, Hilda. It was in Winnipeg where Bill started a successful career in the warehousing industry. He started as a warehouse clerk and retired in 1994 as a well-respected president of SeaWay MidWest. During his career Bill had many moves across the country, and with each move, another step up the ladder. These moves, from the east coast to the west coast and the many places in between, enabled the Miller family to make friends all across the country. Bill was well known for his ability to tell a joke or a story and make people laugh. His house was regularly full of people who enjoyed his prowess with the BBQ and his taste in fine wine. Like all Miller’s Bill loved cards and golf and was always ready to play either game. After retirement he indulged in his passion for family and travel. Over the years, he and Hilda travelled throughout the world, enjoying many different countries and places with good friends or just the two of them. While we will miss his love, friendship, humour and jokes, we will cherish the time we had together. Special thanks go to the staff at Peace Arch Hospital, particularly 6 North and Hospice, for their kind and excellent care. We also thank our many friends for their years of support and encouragement. Donations in Bill’s name can be made to the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation or the Alzheimer’s Society of BC. A celebration of Bill’s life will be held at Mount Olive Lutheran Church, 2350 - 148th Street, Surrey, BC on Friday January 17th at 1:00 PM.

Terry was born in Camp Lister, B.C. and lost both parents when she was very young. Her first language was English but she proved a quick study learning French fluently in public school in Falher, Alberta. She graduated from high school in Picture Butte and at age 17 moved to Calgary to support herself. She married Dr. William (Bill) Terrance Armstrong in 1949 and the young couple lived briefly in Vancouver, Kamloops and Vernon before settling in Revelstoke to raise their growing family. After 15 years in Revelstoke the family moved to Rossland, BC. Terry and Bill retired to Langley, BC in 1986. Terry is predeceased by husband Bill and brother Eugene Roy. She will be missed by children and their spouses, Gerry (Sandy Chalmers), Joanne (Randy Taylor), Rick (Donna Davis), Larry (Marsha Scott), Glen (Mary Tkachyk), Donna, Ken (Denise Lacombe), sister Marilyn Hain (Tony), 17 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren and friends. Terry raised her family in a home that never saw a storebought loaf of bread, cake or cookies and whose kitchen table was the envy of all. We will cherish and pass on to the grandchildren and great-grandchildren the many beautiful knitted and crocheted afghans, sweaters and other treasures she made for us all over the years. Mom’s memory will live on in our hearts, her many recipes in our kitchens and in kitchens everywhere and her hand-crafted treasures in our homes. The family would like to thank all those at Evergreen Heights, Peace Arch Hospital and the Irene Thomas Hospice for their kind care and support. A funeral mass followed by a tea will be held at the Star of the Sea Catholic church in White Rock on January 17, 2014.

PLAIN, GEORGE DUNCAN

George Duncan Plain, born July 3, 1926, son of Leroy and Rita Plain, left this earth peacefully on January 12, 2014 at the age of 87 years. George was born near Sheddon, Ontario. He was the first son in a family of five children, Mary, Don, Shirley and Bill. George's family was originally a farming family and he maintained his love of the land for his entire life. At a young age, his family moved from Ontario to the community of Pibroch, Alberta, which is near Westlock, Alberta. This is where George met the love of his life, Anna Bernice Campbell. George and Anna were married on November 15, 1947 and began their new life in Pibroch on their own farm. They mixed farmed to support their growing family. They had six children, Larry (Lori Whitcutt), Bradley (Joy Butwilofski), Connie (Peter Swaisland), Joyce (Simon Grant), Shaunet (Andrew Barton), and George Junior (Yvonne Faber). The first four of their children, Larry, Brad, Connie and Joyce, were born in Pibroch and then the family decided to move to the coastal town of White Rock to another farm where several of their brothers and sisters were already farming. This is where the last two children, Shaunet and George Junior, were born. George and Anna farmed for another 10 years in White Rock before moving to Kelowna. They owned and operated the Kenogan Motel for years, welcoming many tourists to all of the wonders of the valley. After 10 years of running this business, they sold the motel and George began working at the Kelowna Golf and Country Club as a greenskeeper until his retirement. He loved running the big machinery and always brought home golf balls and mystery mushrooms. At this time they moved to the their home of 30 years on Calmels Crescent near the golf course. George and Anna have enjoyed many years with their six children, spouses, and 14 grandchildren and spouses. There was always a home full of love, laughter, good meals,a lot of singing, puzzle making and harmonica playing. In addition to having a strong love for his family, George enjoyed fishing, hunting, curling, gardening, square dancing, and nature in all its glory. George and Anna recently moved to the Okanagan Chateau in Kelowna where they made many new friends. George will be dearly missed by his wife Anna, all of his children, grandchildren and the many people who he shared his life with. His memory will be held strongly in our hearts forever. We love you dearest husband, Dad, and Grandpa. Thank you for all of the memories, love and laughter. Please come and join us to celebrate George's life and to share your thoughts, feelings and memories. Memorial services will be held at First Memorial Funeral Home at 1211 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, BC on Tuesday, January 21, 2014. Service will be at 11:00 a.m. Internment will follow at 2:00 p.m. at Lakeview Memorial Gardens.
