Gateway Casinos plans to proceed with Newton venture as planned
Surrey wants to yank slot machines Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Surrey is moving to pull the plugs on Newton slot machines, after the company running them missed a deadline for construction work. Mayor Dianne Watts told her colleagues at council on Monday that the city will call the BC Lottery Corporation and request they pull the 150 one-armed bandits at the
Newton Square Country Bingo Hall, at 7093 King George Blvd. However, a Gateway Casinos and Entertainment spokesperson said the next day that the gaming firm is planning to proceed with development as planned. The challenge, Tanya Gabara said, is getting the necessary permits from the city. The mayor had said Gateway’s deadline was missed under its Project Development
Agreement (PDA), breaching its conditions to have slots at the bingo hall. The PDA states that “Gateway will obtain a building permit by May 1, 2013 and thereafter proceed with construction in a timely manner through to completion of a redevelopment of the existing Newton Bingo Hall site,” according to a 2012 corporate report to council. Two building permits and two demolition permits have been issued, city sources
say. The demolition on two buildings has been partially done, but construction hasn’t occurred at the site. It’s on that fact that Surrey is hinging its argument of a breach and demanding the slot machines be removed. Asked if Watts is willing to go court if BCLC refuses, the mayor said she would wait for the lottery corporation’s response. i see page 5

White Rock council has finalized amendments that prohibit medical-marijuana operations in the city. Following a brief discussion Monday night, council unanimously supported (with Coun. Larry Robinson absent) giving third and final readings to changes proposed for omnibus Bylaw 2000. But the decision appeared to be a reluctant one. Mayor Wayne Baldwin’s call for a motion on the amendments was initially met with silence. Then, the recommendation was quietly moved by Coun. Bill Lawrence. When there was no response to Baldwin’s call for a seconder on the motion, the mayor himself answered that call. Similar silence – and awkward glances – followed Baldwin’s call for shows of support and opposition. With no opposition expressed, the motion was deemed to receive unanimous support. Coun. Helen Fathers attributed the silence to the controversial nature of the topic and the general lack of understanding around it. i see page 5
At least one Surrey councillor is gauging what support she has in a potential run for the mayor’s chair should it become vacant, Black Press has learned. Coun. Linda Hepner has been making the rounds asking community members if she could have their support in a mayoral run in this November’s civic election. The request is con- Dianne Watts mayor tingent on Mayor Dianne Watts – Hepner’s Surrey First running mate – not running this year. Other councillors are also considering the possibility should Watts’ seat become vacant. Watts has said previously she would not serve more than three terms as mayor and proposed imposing term limits of nine years. This is her third term as mayor. She was first elected in 2005. When asked Tuesday if she would be running for mayor this year, Watts said she’s focusing on the present. i see page 4

Cloverdale landmark set to close by summer
Clova theatre fades to black T he Clova theatre, an iconic institution in Cloverdale, has a limited lifespan as a standalone movie theatre. The building has been bought by Crossridge Community Church and will become its home. The church has been using the facilities for Sunday services for several years. There will still be opportunities for community use of the facility, the new owners Frank Bucholtz say, but it will no longer be a movie theatre. The Clova is the last of Surrey’s original group of theatres and drive-ins. At one time there were three similar theatres – the Clova, Cameo in Whalley and Park in White Rock. The Cameo building still exists, but is not easily recognizable. The Park is long gone. There were also three driveins – the Westminster near the Pattullo Bridge, the Surrey Drive-In on King George Highway in Newton and the Hillcrest in Clayton. All are now gone, although the last operators of the Hillcrest now operate a drive-in in Aldergrove – the last such operation in the Lower Mainland. My memories of the Clova go back a long ways. The first movie I ever saw was there, when I was about four. As a child and teen, I often enjoyed the Saturday matinees, and I have continued to go there on occasion, right to the present. For many years, the theatre was managed by Nora Smith, a well-known Cloverdale resident. For some years, it was part of the Odeon chain, who eventually closed the doors. For a short time, it served as a venue for live theatre. In 1992, it went back to its roots as a movie theatre. Current operator Craig Burghardt has run the business for the past 17 years, and in recent years has been challenged with the fact that many new movies are no longer being issued in film format. The theatre has raised funds in several creative ways to replace its old projectors, but the fundraising campaign wasn’t complete when the sale went through. My daughter has worked there, on and off, for the past five years and has enjoyed meeting the movie

Her charity, which assists young people in Sierra Leone, has staged numerous fundraisers there, as have many other non-profit groups. Burghardt is very generous in helping out schools, charities and community groups. That spirit of generosity makes the theatre a unique institution. “The church has graciously offered to let us continue running, rent-free, until such a time that film is no longer available,” Burghardt told Black Press reporter Jennifer Lang. “We plan to play as many movies we can get, and we hope to see as many of you before our doors close.” He estimates the last show will be near the end of summer. “With our remaining time, we plan to go out with a bang.” Burghardt ended his message to patrons on a note of optimism, Lang noted. “We’re still here, for awhile, and hope to cram in as many good memories as possible. And hopefully have some exciting news about a new adventure. Stay tuned.” The theatre, which opened in 1947, is a Surrey heritage building and the new owners will have to follow heritage guidelines as they make repairs and update the building. While it’s great that it will continue to serve the community, it just won’t be the same. It’s definitely the end of an era. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News.

Semiahmoo Arts building to feature artist’s work alongside collaborative effort
Tetrault returns to lead park mural project Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
The building housing Semiahmoo Arts will be getting a new look, following White Rock council’s approval of funding for a mural intended to showcase the group and the work of an internationally renowned city artist. Following a presentation by director of leisure services Eric Stepura, council gave unanimous support Monday to allocating $21,500 of the city’s public-art budget to cover the cost of hiring Richard Tetrault. “This is a great use of that space,” said Coun. Helen Fathers, noting “quite a bit of money” has been sitting in the public-art
budget “for a while now.” Tetrault is a master artist who was raised in White Rock. He has collaborated on a number of wall-art projects, including one in Vancouver that covers a six-storey wall of the Orwell Hotel on East Hastings Street. At a forum on decorative wall art hosted by the city last fall, Tetrault spoke of how public art can not only change the look of a wall, but can actually help revitalize an area. Tetrault was contacted by Semiahmoo Arts officials a year ago about the prospect of a mural for the east- and south-facing exterior walls of the Centennial Park building they call home, according to Stepura.
The hope is that work on the According to Tetrault’s outline, the mural can get underway in April planned east-wall mural portrays a or May and be finished in time for sequence of culturally based images the organization’s 40th anniversary representing music, visual and percelebrations this summer. forming arts, imagination and nature. “The unveiling of this mural Semiahmoo Arts has committed to will be one of several celebrations pay for roof-top lighting and to work planned throughout the year,” with Tetrault to co-ordinate mural group president Rick Muir states in workshops with local artists to design a December letter to the city supand draw art for the south wall.

Public meeting expected to hear criticism of plan
Process criticized
White Rock considers food trucks, too
Step back for Surrey’s official plan
Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
White Rock councillors want to know if there’s an appetite for food trucks on the city’s waterfront. After giving the go-ahead to a second summer of allowing food carts – despite limited participation last year – council voted this week to host a public-information meeting on whether the opportunity should also be extended to food trucks. The meeting is set for 6:30-8 p.m. on Wednesday, April 2 at the White Rock Community Centre (15154 Russell Ave.). But at least one councillor was adamant that the trucks should not be on the menu. “We just got rid of one polluting device,” Coun. Louise Hutchinson said Monday, referring to council’s July 2012 decision to eliminate charcoal barbecues from West Beach. “To put smelly food trucks… I think would be very bad.” According to a staff report, food trucks were included in the recommendation for 2014 based on interest in them received by the city. Richard Wilson, the city’s acting director of development services, suggested up to four be allowed to operate on West Beach, in the Bay Street parking lot. He estimated the city’s cost to provide electricity at about $10,000, and the loss of parking revenue for the season (May 1Oct. 31) at just over $12,000. For food carts, Wilson proposed limiting the number of vendors to three, and concentrating the carts between the pier and just west of the museum. He estimated the cost of installing concrete pads and electrical connections for the carts at $11,600. In explaining the suggested locations, Wilson

In response to concerns expressed by Coun. Bill Lawrence around the cost of providing the program, city manager Dan Bottrill described the expense as “an investment in our promenade that allows a more professional approach.” “Any time we’re able to increase the interest in White Rock… is going to be benefitting all of the businesses,” Bottrill said. “We may have differing opinions as to whether or not that will occur.” Lawrence – who co-owns the Sandpiper Pub on East Beach – also cited concern that the carts and trucks would take business away from existing restaurateurs. Lawrence cast the sole dissenting vote against allowing the carts and holding a public meeting. Coun. Grant Meyer said he shared Lawrence’s concern regarding costs. He suggested the public meeting because he wants to hear what
residents have to say about adding food trucks. “I’d rather see it done right with all the information than have it done wrong and have to backtrack,” Meyer said. While Coun. Al Campbell said he wants to encourage the food-cart program, he expects “major pushback” from West Beach residents regarding the trucks. A suggestion by Wilson that both opportunities be open to vendors outside of White Rock did not sit well with Hutchinson. First dibs should be limited “to people already paying a business tax to White Rock,” she said. If there is no response, then extend the call, she said. Bottrill cautioned council about the potential impact of delaying a decision on the program, noting last year’s late start was detrimental. “I wouldn’t want to try and repeat the same error,” he said.
A new draft of Surrey’s Official Community Plan was referred back to city staff this week after several residents criticized the document and the process in creating it. A public hearing Monday saw objections raised around issues such as the Semiahmoo Town Centre plan, proposed density, transportation, public safety, environmental habitat and the demand for public-hearing processes for neighbourhood concept plans. But a consistent problem residents had was accessing information and city documents online. “I was quite saddened to hear (of) their lack of access to information, whether that be through our website or through other channels at the City of Surrey,” said Coun. Barinder Rasode. “Very consistently, speakers said they had trouble finding documents and I think that’s why as we move forward, we need to make sure that we look at more open data approaches.” City staff have now been asked to incorporate all the comments made at the public hearing and bring the report back. No deadline has been set for the new OCP.

Contentious history for Surrey slots i from page 1 The Newton property was the subject of a contentious public hearing in 2009, when gaming critics were pitted against notfor-profit organizations, which rely heavily on gaming revenues. After a marathon meeting, council passed the gaming expansion in Newton on a 5-4 vote, even though it contravened the city’s own gaming policy. Those who voted for the Newton casino were Mayor Dianne Watts and Couns. Linda Hepner, Tom Gill and Barbara Steele and then-Coun. Judy Higginbotham. Subsequently, the company that won the rezoning later flipped the property to Gateway. The promise of $25 million worth of improvements on the property died with the change in ownership. Since then, the level of city sup-

No,” Watts said in 2012. “I just think that the Newton site was not appropriate, and I know that many of us struggled with that site, but supported it because the non-profits were
(previously) getting the dollars.” The bold move to remove the slots is reminiscent of the battle waged by former Mayor Doug McCallum against Newton slots in 1997. Surrey eventually won a decision to have them removed. Those 191 slot machines were a block from the current ones.
RCMP’s focus not on medicinal use i from page 1 “I don’t think we really know too much about it,” Fathers told Peace Arch News Tuesday. “We don’t know what’s going to happen with the federal government. “I think that’s why Coun. (Al) Campbell last time moved to have it deferred (Feb. 24), to give us some more time to have a look through it.” The bylaw amendment to prohibit “the commercial cultivation, growth, production, storage or sale (of) medical marijuana… whether or not carried out for medical purposes by a licensed producer” was suggested to prepare the city for new federal regulations due to take effect April 1. They will shift the medicinalmarijuana program to a system of regulated commercial growers who will supply authorized users; at the same time, all current licences to possess or pro-
duce pot will expire. Prior to the vote, in a presentation on White Rock crime statistics, RCMP Staff Sgt. Lesli Roseberry suggested enforcement efforts would not be concentrated on medical-marijuana patients. Following the lead of municipal police forces in Vancouver and Abbotsford, “(grow-ops) that are organized-crime related or gangrelated are the ones we would investigate,” Roseberry said. According to advocates of a made-in-B.C. program for medical cannabis, White Rock has more than 50 registered medicalmarijuana patients – and many unregistered – who will be negatively impacted by the changes. Fathers said she wants to ensure that those who need the drug for medical reasons will be able to access it under the new rules. She supported the Bylaw 2000 amendments after receiving
assurance that the changes could again be amended, if necessary, to conform with the federal rules. “We have to make sure that we have the ability, always, to go back in and allow what is being allowed to be allowed within the city,” she said. “Why shouldn’t it be able to be dispensed in a legal environment?” In council, Mayor Wayne Baldwin appeared satisfied with the knowledge the bylaw could be further amended in the future. “We’ve got to keep an open mind for the health of our residents,” he said. During question period, when asked about the status of a request for the city to lobby the provincial government for a B.C. program, Baldwin said the city can’t act without first knowing what the new federal rules mean. The province is also waiting for that clarity, he added.

W
hile it’s clear to many observers that Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts seems destined for higher office, publicly she will only comment that she is focusing on the city at present. Watts has been, by far, the most high-profile member of council and Surrey First – the political party that is “not a party” – since its creation in 2008. And that high profile – through attentiongrabbing headlines on crime and transit issues, through her Metro Vancouver duties, through photo-op events, like Surrey Regional Economic Summits, featuring guest lists of former world leaders – virtually guarantees her support for ascendance to new political levels. Regardless, no one is mayor forever. At some point, her successor will be chosen. Which begs the question: who will want to step forward? Perhaps more importantly for those powerbrokers grooming candidates for office, who, from the current, exclusively Surrey First, council, would be deemed the most likely to be elected mayor, based on his or her performance as a councillor? All have had their moments over the last couple of terms and will have their share of champions, but it’s hard to avoid the perception that it’s been Watts’ image – politically and pragmatically – that has been paramount in Surrey. Candidates hoping to fill her shoes will need to do some serious soul-searching, as well as image-building, before they seek the mayor’s chair. Like it or not, most of us are judged on our record when it comes to the effectiveness of what we do. It’s only fair for voters to ask, at some point, what difference the other city councillors have made to the City of Surrey during their recent terms of office. On what issues have council members, individually, taken leadership? Which of their own accomplishments can they point to with pride? In what way do they feel they have best served, and responded to constituents? (Similar questions were posed here a couple of weeks ago, when four-term South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert announced he would not be running next year. They are, as yet, unanswered.) When it does come to that point, merely being able to say that you have been a strong player on someone else’s team shouldn’t be nearly enough.

lair with cast-off clothing like bones in a dragon’s den. Some of it is unfamiliar, since it apparently belongs to friends. Apparently, these kindred spirits frequently share fashions, and have no qualms in littering each other’s rooms – perhaps in some sort of friendly territority-marking ritual. Upstairs, the mayhem continues. Textbooks are spread akimbo on the kitchen island, coffee table, couch, or any other horizontal surface. Bags, rags, rings, things and other assorted detritus – spun off by the teen tornado as it churned through the house on some essential mission, frequently involving a snack. Don’t get me started on that… Oh never mind, I’m already there. Previously proud, gleaming pots fester in the sink – gooey and glued with unrecognizable foodstuffs. The stainless steel refrigerator doors bear the fingerprints of the guilty, and the stove is covered in spits and spatters from culinary calamity. To this I return each day. Daily, I issue decrees and heated threats of dire consequences, to no avail. The teen has shed and fed. It moves on... ... until Sunday afternoon, when a stunning transformation takes place. The teen cleans, sorts, tidies, launders and folds. The condition is fleeting. However, there lies hope in the universal order of things.

Editor: Re: Tax critics face their own revolt, March 6. In defending TransLink, Surrey Board of Trade CEO Anita Huberman states: “Property is owned and has been developed by the B.C. government for transit users.” Therefore, why is TransLink charging for parking at that expansion site? Laurie Mark, Surrey Q Considering the repeated inability of TransLink to manage its assets – be it the expensive transit police, the overbudget Compass Card program, the transit police’s explosive-ona-jetliner fiasco, employees taking 60 per cent more sick days than the average non-government employee or the half-milliondollar expenditure on 13 television screens, etc. – the B.C. government ultimately should have known better than to ask TransLink to manage something as complicated as a $4.5-million parking lot. TransLink has been the one responsible for the mismanagement of the lot, leading to it sitting empty on most days (Tax critics snort at barren park-and-ride, Feb. 27). We are confident the Teddy Waste Award was, in fact, directed to the correct public body. Specifically on the mismanagement, the lot sits empty today – and every day – due to TransLink’s complete and utter disconnect with its customers. While the Canadian Taxpayers Federation supports user-pay mechanisms, we are not naive to believe they work in every circumstance, and certainly make little sense when hundreds of parking stalls sit empty as commuters spill into surrounding neighbourhoods. We at the CTF take math seriously and, upon double-checking, we are confident zero cars paying $2 each results in $0 revenue for TransLink. Scott Hennig, Canadian Taxpayers Federation
Editor: Re: Sewage centre ‘not best for conventions,’ March 4. Your story refers to UBC’s involvement with the Annacis Island Wastewater Centre ‘academy’ and makes mention of a $1 million pledge to the facility. In fact, although various sums and funding models were discussed between UBC and Metro Vancouver, no formal agreement was reached, nor was a final contract inked. The only pertinent documents are a 2011 exchange of letters between UBC and Metro Vancouver stating that UBC would provide $90,000 per year for six years to fund the Annacis Island Academy operated by Metro Vancouver, for a total of $540,000. The letters make clear that this funding is subject to further negotiations over a detailed memorandum of understanding (MOU), and the establishment of a proper stakeholders governance board for the facility. That MOU has never been completed and there is, as yet, no governance board in place. UBC has consistently indicated a desire to move ahead and, over the past two years, has set the committed funds aside, awaiting Metro’s decision regarding the MOU. Despite the administrative limbo, UBC civil engineering professors Don Mavinic and Victor Lo have been running a number of research
projects and held open houses at the facility – mostly paid from their own research grants. The Annacis Island Academy remains an important initiative, but one that will require action from Metro Vancouver to bring to fruition. John Hepburn, University of B.C
Environment worth the cost Editor: Re:$500 fine for ‘recycled’ vacuum disputed, March 4. Congratulations to the City of White Rock for doing something about the continuous dumping of garbage at our recycling facilities. I use these facilities often, and there are few, if any, times that there is not garbage and styrofoam left at these sites. I also want to thank them for actually having a penalty and fine that gets people’s attention. This is not a “heavy-handed’ punishment, it is a fair punishment that I am sure will deter people from dumping their garbage at these sites. I think the provincial government should take a page from the City of White Rock and increase the fines for distracted drivers. Based on the number of people I see texting and talking while driving, the current $167 fine is not nearly enough. As for woman who left her vacuum cleaner at the site, she has the audacity to dump her garbage at these recycling facilities, leaving the taxpayers to pay the disposal

Dumped debris a cowardly act Editor: In late February, an individual dumped a major pile of debris and garbage at Kent Street Activity Centre – strewn across a handicap parking space and included boards with nails sticking up and parts of an old green fibreglass tent trailer. I contacted the city and they cleaned the mess up. Last Sunday, the same individual dumped more debris, including the remainder of the tent trailer. This time the debris was put on a pallet tied to a metal fence and the vehicle was driven away. Again, it was left in the handicap parking space. To the individual who did this: What kind of fool blocks a handicap parking space twice and leaves boards with nails sticking up? Step forward, you coward. Ian Hynds, White Rock

I would suggest the next time she has something to “donate” that she drive up the hill to the Salvation Army, as they are more then happy to accept good used items. I know this for a fact, as my family and I donate on a regular basis. Randy R. Sigouin, White Rock Q Budgetary red ink, however little or much, is conveniently utilized by our local, provincial and national governments as an excuse to not recycle the vast majority, if not the virtual entirety, of materials circulating throughout society – including broken vacuum cleaners, cappuccino machines, etc. Instead, they allow the essentially gratuitous dumping of such materials into landfills or pollution production from their burning. If need be, any red-ink monetary losses should be recouped by placing recycling fees upon all purchasable items, rather than just the current relatively meager few, e.g. bottles. Perhaps if enough people already inclined to recycle as much as is currently allowed by recycling-box rules begin to place more nonaccepted solids into such boxes, the powers that be might feel more compelled to adapt/equip the recycling plants to enable the recycling of such solids, if not others. We’ve already wasted way too much material and, especially, ecologically limited time. Frank G. Sterle, Jr., White Rock

Walkable neighbourhoods that include stores, transit, parks, trails and bike lanes are encouraged by health officers.
We must plan for a healthy future Editor: According to a report in the Canadian Medical Association Journal this week, we learned that obesity has tripled among Canadian adults in one short generation, reminding us once again of the seriousness of the obesity epidemic. The World Health Organization warned in 2000 that this would lead to increased chronic diseases including diabetes, arthritis, heart disease and cancers – threatening the health of individuals, our communities and the health-care system. But before we point fingers at individuals, let us also remember it is the world around us and not individual willpower that has changed in that generation. We will never reduce the rates of obesity by admonishing everybody to eat healthier or exercise more without also changing the environments which shape behaviour.
We are more active when we live in compact, complete, walkable neighbourhoods with stores and services nearby, commute by transit, and have easy access to parks, walking trails, and bike lanes. We eat healthier when we are surrounded by healthy – rather than highly processed and fast – foods. Fraser Health is working with other health authorities across the country and colleagues in municipal planning and transportation to re-create communities that foster physical activity, healthy eating, and positive social environments. But to succeed on a large scale, we need not just collaboration but also serious investment in active transportation, such as biking and walking and public transit. The future health of our population depends on it. Dr. Helena Swinkels & Dr. Lisa Mu, Fraser Health medical health officers

TransLink study predicts increased congestion at Massey Tunnel
New bridge ‘will need tolls’ Jeff Nagel Black Press
Replacing the Massey Tunnel with a big new bridge will bring worse Highway 99 rush-hour congestion than motorists now experience unless the new crossing is tolled, according to a new study for TransLink. The projections also suggest the decision on whether or not to toll the Deas crossing will have much more influence on travel times than whether a new bridge is built at all. Coriolis Research estimated Highway 99 travel times in the morning rush from 8 Avenue in Surrey (near the Peace Arch border crossing) to the Oak Street Bridge in Vancouver would climb from 35 minutes now to 38 minutes by 2045 if a new eight-lane Massey bridge is not tolled, compared to an improved travel time of 31 minutes if the bridge is tolled. That’s based on an estimate that 25 per cent more vehicles will use the new bridge if drivers don’t have to pay to cross and that it will also bring a significant surge in land development, putting more cars and trucks on the road than would otherwise be the case. The study also looked at the effect of adding tolls to the Massey Tun-

The province has said it will replace the tunnel with a bridge. nel without building a new bridge and came up with much the same results – an estimated 32-minute travel time if the existing four-lane tunnel is tolled and 38 minutes by 2045 if it remains free. Coriolis assumed an eight-lane bridge would be built with HOV lanes in each direction. It also assumed any tolls would be in line with the rates at the tolled Port Mann and Golden Ears Bridges, that the Pattullo Bridge is refurbished for three-lane use and there are no significant investments in transit. SFU City Program director Gordon Price said the finding of a mere three-minute shift in travel time appears to further undercut
the already shaky case for building a new bridge that could cost up to $3 billion. “That’s a billion dollars a minute for no noticeable improvement in congestion,” Price said. “No tangible change. It’s breathtaking.” He said it puts more pressure on the provincial transportation ministry to justify the Massey Tunnel replacement. A project definition report is expected this spring from the province, which last year announced plans to build the new bridge but has not yet indicated how big it would be or whether it would toll the replaced crossing. Many Metro Vancouver mayors want universal low bridge tolls on all major crossings, but others favour a road pricing scheme that also captures lengthy trips in the region that are made without crossing any bridge. Price said the money to build the bridge – even if it’s tolled – will ultimately come from local residents and reduce their ability to afford more effective investments in public transit. “Even if it’s a tolled bridge, that’s still money out of taxpayers’ pockets,” Price said. “It’s a sinkhole of huge resources that are desperately needed elsewhere for almost no gain.”

Crime leads respondents’ concerns
Poll timing cited The leading concern for people in Surrey is the level of crime, according to a recent survey. An online study conducted by Vancouver’s Insights West marketing firm, polled 973 people from Feb. 25 to March 1 in Surrey and Vancouver. The percentage of people worried about crime in Surrey was 51, over other issues, such as transportation (18) and poverty and education (both six). Nearly half of Surrey respondents felt crime has increased in five years, and 53 per cent fear becoming a victim of crime a “great deal� or “fair amount.� Close to half (48 per cent) of Surrey residents felt unsafe when walking after dark, compared to 22 per cent feeling that way in Vancouver. The survey found housing to be Vancouver’s abiding concern. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts noted Tuesday the poll was conducted on the heels of the murder of hockey mom Julie Paskall in Newton. “I would expect that the level of fear around crime would be significantly high,� Watts said. The mayor said the city and police have put several measures in place to reduce crime and the fear of it. “It will take time. We have to stay on top of it.� The poll also measured the popularity of the cities’ mayors. Watts received an extremely healthy approval rating at 73 per cent, while 18 per cent disapprove of her job performance. In Vancouver, Mayor Gregor Robertson has a 52 per cent approval rating, while 40 per cent disapprove. While statistical margins of error are arguably not applicable to online polls of this nature, Insights West cites the same margin of error as if it were a true unweighted random probability sample – plus or minus 4.4 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. – Kevin Diakiw

Celliant® has been proven in clinical tests to reduce pain, increase oxygen levels, and help balance body temperature. Each of these results can have added benefits including faster healing, increased performance, better quality sleep, and improved overall wellness, all of which can help alleviate the symptoms of arthritis and peripheral vascular disease often associated with diabetes. The key to Celliant® lies in its ability to absorb and store the electromagnetic (energy) emission from the human body and release them where they are reabsorbed into the skin and deep muscle tissue. In the deep muscle tissue they act as catalysts for natural, biological processes resulting in enhanced oxygen levels and more balanced body temperature during sleep, rest or physical activity.
Arthritis? Diabetes? Fibromyalgia? Aches & Pains?
Clinically proven by 9 different North American Universities!

A St. Paddy’s Tradition: Corned Beef and Cabbage Did you know cabbage is one of the healthiest veggies you can eat and it’s incredibly affordable? Compounds called glucosinolates and a high-fibre content are both implicated in cancer and cardiovascular disease prevention. And this benefit can be enhanced by light cooking.After slow-cooking your corned beef, add root vegetables like carrots and potatoes to the broth and cook until tender. Then add in loads of shredded cabbage and cook for only 5 minutes until softened. Avoid cooking the cabbage for too long or it will lose some of its health properties. Have a moderate serving of meat (2.5 oz) with a hearty serving (1-2 cups) of cabbage plus the other veggies for a traditional Irish meal. Don’t forget the pint of Guinness! 2010 - 2014 Awards.

Well, lookie here. One minute you have a perfectly good Blue Box recycling program. The next, something new and rather questionable is being put in its place. And they thought they’d get away with it right under your nose, without telling you or asking your opinion. That’s definitely not democracy in action. The BC Government, elected by us to represent our best interests, has decided to offload the costs of recycling to big multi-national corporations. To implement this new plan, they’ve set up an association that doesn’t really seem to hold the environment, local jobs, or the municipalities that run the Blue Box program, close to its heart.
Thursday, March 13, 2014 Peace Arch News
Perhaps that’s why some of our local elected officials are using the word “scam” to describe how the new program is being set up. It’s also perhaps why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to jump on board. That’s gotta tell you something. Now it’s your turn to let Premier Christy Clark know what you think. Contact her today to say that dismantling an already-working recycling program to replace it with something that few people think will be as good, is a bad idea.
What’s going on here?

Dagmar Christine Albert writes memoir chronicling life with her longtime love
Author pens a tribute to late husband Alex Browne
‘Y
Arts Reporter
ou cannot hold an eagle in a cage,” Dagmar Christine Albert told orderlies at the nursing home where her husband John had been confined as a result of early-onset Alzheimer’s. It’s fitting that the cover of her touching memoir, To Johnny, With Love, features a picture of an eagle soaring over the B.C. wilderness he loved. The book is as the title suggests, a love letter to the man she adored ever since they met as young people barely out of their teens in the chaos of post-Second World War Berlin, and a celebration of the life they built together as immigrants to Canada; daughters Linda and Ilka, and their thriving grandchildren. It’s also the sometimesheartbreaking story of a strong, otherwise healthy man who was only 54 years old when he exhibited the first symptoms of the disease that would ultimately claim his life, and the woman who remained lovingly at his side, almost every day of the 16 years of his gradual decline, except when sidelined by her own need to recover from a devastating car crash. But it’s also a book that deserves to be read, not only as an insight into the effects and realities of Alzheimer’s both for a patient and his or her family, but as a work of literature. For in To Johnny, With Love, Albert, 86, a White Rock resident “I had no intention of publishing and member of the Langley this book at all,” she said in Writer’s Guild, has accomplished an interview arranged at the a rarity – a book written with encouragement of her beautiful clarity and friend and neighbour, ❝I wanted it to simplicity; with a Cockrill. be a tribute to my Lynn poetic sensibility, but “I’ve been a member husband – instead of the Langley Writer’s without an ounce of pretension. of a grave stone, I Guild for 13 years and That wanted to do this.❞ they encouraged me unpretentiousness is to do this.

Author Dagmar Albert wrote a memoir in honour of her late husband Albert (above).
the help and guidance of editor Wendy Dewar-Hughes, there can be no doubt. Her husband’s presence is lovingly recreated in the pages of the short memoir, and not only in passages where she movingly and imaginatively gives voice to his confusion and anguish at not being able to communicate, and his sadness at the loss of the home life they led together. She also creates a vivid portrait of a man who loved the outdoors and cherished a realized dream of leasing 60 years of wilderness
Crown land north of Lillooet and turning it into farmland. He spent 10 years doing this while balancing his passion with a demanding job at a large car dealership, she relates, before what she describes as “the fog” began. From John’s early confusion at simple tasks like tying his tie and adding numbers, she traces his decline – and the resilience and coping skills of his family and caregivers – until his last days at the nursing home. Albert said she knows her insistence on continuing to treat John as the man and personality she knew, even in spite of the many obstacles, is not a viewpoint shared by all. Individuals have a different approach to Alzheimer’s, she added, and she felt blessed to have an incredibly supportive mother (“She was only 20 years older than me, and 10 times as strong,” she said) as well as a family to help – unlike others faced with the same situation. “I was very careful (in the book) not to be argumentative, and not to be critical of anyone else.” It’s evident in only a brief
interview that Albert has many other stories to tell. Born in Germany, she was the only daughter of an engineer who was employed by a Japanese company in 1934, and a mother of Russian and German parentage who had been caught up in the events of the First World War and the Russian Revolution of 1917. A childhood spent travelling throughout the Far East changed dramatically when her father died shortly after Pearl Harbour, and mother and daughter were left to fend for themselves in wartime Japan – including living through the last terrible air raids on Tokyo and Yokohama. “I will never forget those years – they give a person a different outlook,” she said, adding that her memories as a teenager having to grow up very fast include a lasting sense of the ordinary people in Japan – “neighbour helping neighbour.” Another story she doesn’t include in the book is how she first met John in Berlin, in 1947 in the emotionally charged atmosphere of the court trials that took place following the war. “I was 19 and he was 20 – it was two months after I arrived back in Germany. He was a translator working for the Americans, and I worked for them too, because I could speak English.” Albert recalled she was translating for a judge in court, and John was translating for the plaintiff, and after she had translated some testimony, John took issue with it. “My husband-to-be raised his hand and said ‘I’m sorry, the young lady translated that wrong,’” she said. “I thought ‘oh, yeah, goodness what a terrible guy this is.’ But on the way out, he was standing there. He said ‘my name is John Albert, can I take you home?’” “Two years later we were married.” To Johnny, With Love is available on amazon.ca and, locally, at Black Bond Books stores.

Save on Executor and probate fees by using GICs or Guaranteed investment funds (GIF) from Insurance companies. GICs and GIF are ideal for Estate Planning and protection from creditors: Investments from insurance companies are called Guaranteed Investment funds (GIF). GIF offer solutions that allow you to invest in mutual funds and guarantee that at least either 75% or 100% of your principal is protected over a specified period of time. They have a Death Benefit feature that guarantees at least 100% of your original deposit minus any withdrawals, on death. Some

have a death benefit guarantee that will annually reset and lock in the market value if it is higher than the deposit value; an important feature for estate planning. They also offer the ability to name one or more beneficiaries. This allows you to direct the value of those investments, at the time of your death to individual(s) you have designated within your contract in a manner that is private, outside of your estate, while bypassing the expense and inconvenience of probate. The settlement and transfer of these proceeds to your beneficiaries, is quick and seamless. GICs offer terms and rates similar to the banks but one important feature is that you can name designated beneficiaries on your investments so that it will not flow through your estate. Both types of investments also offer creditor protection not available through other types of investments. If you are a business owner you can have all the upside of the growth in the markets in a GIF investment and the security of a GIC, but creditors can never lay claim to your investment assets.

ARTHRITIS Violinist receives accolades Karen Cho wins gold medal in recognition of high exam mark
EDUCATION EVENTS IN YOUR COMMUNITY
Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Ocean Park’s Karen Cho received a 93 per cent mark on her exam.
Young Peninsula violinist Karen Cho lets her violin do the talking for her – she isn’t the kind of demonstrative personality given to making a fuss about her own success. Fortunately others did that for her March 2 at the Royal Conservatory of Music regional awards ceremony at Vancouver’s Chan Centre, where she received a gold medal in recognition of a 93 per cent mark – highest grade in B.C. in 2013 Royal Conservatory of Music Grade 9 violin exams. The accolade for Ocean Park resident Cho, 15, student of South Surrey teacher Erika Bennedik, came at a ceremony attended by RCM chair Michel Foulkers and president and CEO Dr. Peter Simon. The high score was based on three theory exams – advanced rudiments, intermediate history and harmony – as well as practical examinations in June of last year. In those, Cho was tested on technique (scales, arpeggios and i see page 29

Theory, practical knowledge tested although as her mom, Yukiko Uchiyama, points out, starting the International Baccalaureate program at her school, Semiahmoo Secondary, in September will necessarily limit her musical activities. “I don’t want her to stop music, because she enjoys it,” Uchiyama said. Cho also received three tuition scholarships last year, including one from the B.C. Registered Music Teachers Association and another from the South Fraser Music Festival. Cho said her perspective on playing has changed as she has grown older. “When I was little, it was more about getting the notes right, playing everything perfectly,” she said. “Now it’s become more important to get into the music and try to understand it. I try to listen to different people playing (the pieces). My teacher really helps me and gives me good advice.”

Cho has been playing violin for almost 10 years, she said. “I like it,” she said. “I like how it’s not easy to play. When I practise hard, it turns into something I want it to turn into.” A member of the Surrey Youth Orchestra, she has also volunteered since she was in Grade 9 to play violin once a week for residents of Evergreen Baptist Care Home – and plans to continue that until she graduates high school. “I think I like playing solo more than ensemble, although I think maybe I’d like to be in an orchestra when I’m older,” Cho added,

Bob Gair, who led Earl Marriott girls to 2002 hoops title, died Monday
Longtime coach was ‘a wonderful man’ Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Bob Gair, who coached Earl Marriott Secondary’s senior girls basketball team to its only provincial title, died Monday while golfing with friends. The 77-year-old Crescent Beach resident and longtime highschool teacher and basketball coach collapsed on the 15th hole at Northview Golf and Country Club. In retirement, golf had become his new love, said Gair’s former spouse Carole Gair, a longtime

He later swam, on he had a history of heart full scholarship, at Ohio trouble. State University.

He taught at New Westminster Secondary school from 1960 until his retirement in the 1995, and served as the school’s first athletic director. He is credited with founding the school’s athletic program as well as the school’s first senior girls basketball team, which he also coached. He is, without much doubt, the most successful girls hoops coach in school history, leading NWSS teams to provincial tournament berths 25 times, winning gold in 1974, 1992 and 1994.
He continued to coach at New West for a few years after his retirement, before leaving the sidelines. An annual basketball tournament – the Bob Gair Classic – has been held at the school for years. He is a recipient of the BC High School Sports Coaching Award of Excellence and is an honorary member of the BC Girls Basketball Association. His love of sports continued long past his retirement.

Surrey loses last two games
Eagles’ playoff run ends Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
There will be no repeat run to the RBC Cup for the Surrey Eagles. Instead, the Eagles’ season ended Tuesday night, with the team bowing out of the BC Hockey League playoffs after a 6-1 Game 6 loss Tuesday night at South Surrey Arena. A day earlier, the Eagles lost Game 5 in Langley, 3-0. The two-game stretch marked the only time in the back-and-forth series that one of the teams lost two straight. But though the series was closely contested – far more than one might have predicted, given the 29-point difference between the two squads’ regular-season records – Game 6 was never really in doubt for the Rivermen, who were the BCHL’s top team this season. Evan Anderson gave the visitors a 1-0 lead 6:33 into the first period, and Langley stretched that lead to 3-0 by the end of the second, on a power-play goal from Viktor Dombrovsky and an even-strength marker from Tyson Witala. Witala struck again just 38 seconds into the third – again, a power-play goal – to make it 4-0, and though Surrey captain Danton Heinen got one back for the home team with a goal of his own, it was not enough to bridge such a sizable gap. Two-and-a-half minutes after Heinen’s marker, Langley’s Austin Azurdia made it 5-1, and Darien Craighead’s power-play goal late in the game rounded out the scoring and sent the Rivermen on to Round 2. The Rivermen power play was a near-perfect 3-for-4 while the Eagles’ play with the man-advantage – which had been among the league’s best in the first four games of the series, clicking at nearly a 30 per cent success rate – struggled, going 0-for-3. Surrey goaltender Bo Didur was peppered with 45 shots in the loss, stopping 39. Monday at the Langley Events Centre, the Eagles’ offence also struggled, failing

Azurdia scored twice for Langley, and Tanner Johnson tacked on an empty-netter. The game was marred, however, by a nasty hit in the second period in which Langley captain Mitch McLain ran over Didur in the net. He was assessed a five-minute major for goaltender interference and a game misconduct. On Tuesday, he was suspended two games for his actions, meaning he’ll miss one more game in the second round. The Rivermen are set to play the Coquitlam
Express in the second round of playoffs. The Express, who were the Mainland Divison’s third seed, knocked off the No. 2-seeded Prince George Spruce Kings in six games, winning the decisive sixth game 2-1 Tuesday night. Though the 2013/14 campaign is done, the Eagles’ are still in much better shape for the coming seasons than they were a decade ago, after they won the 2005 BCHL title. Then, the team was gutted in the seasons immediately following the championship, with most players graduating from the league
or jumping to the WHL. Then-coach Rick Hillier didn’t last much longer either, and even the owner at the time, Bruce Rielly, sold the team. By comparison, this year’s squad – a year removed from its own RBC Cup run – was still competitive, and should be set up even better for next year, when a handful of key players slated to return, including Anthony Conti, Chase McMurphy, Matthew Dawson and Didur. Heinen may also return, as his start date for his University of Denver career is still to be determined.

Morgan Creek pro beats field in Chile event
Hadwin gets first tour win

Morgan Creek golfer Adam Hadwin staged a major breakthrough in Santiago, Chile on Sunday, earning his first career win on the Web.com Tour. The 26-year-old Abbotsford native – who is Morgan Creek Golf Course’s touring pro – had taken a one-stroke lead (13 under par) into the final round at the Chile Open at the Prince of Wales Country Club, but five golfers were within two shots of him on a tightly packed leaderboard. One of those was Alistair Presnell, who started the round two strokes in arrears but eagled the 18th hole to get to -15 for the tournament – one better than Hadwin as he headed to the 17th. But the Robert Bateman Secondary grad came through in the clutch. He birdied the last two holes to seize the victory and a $117,000 US payday. “I heard roars (when Presnell made eagle on 18) but I didn’t know what happened,” Hadwin told the Web.com Tour website. “I knew it was going to be close. I said to my caddie on 17 tee that if I make two birdies they can’t catch us.” Hadwin, whose father Gerry is a golf pro at Morgan Creek, got up and down from a greenside bunker on the reachable par-4

Adam Hadwin has his first career Web.com Golf Tour victory. 17th to tie Presnell at -15. On the 529-yard par-5 18th, he hit a perfect drive down the rightcentre of the fairway, 230 yards from the pin. His second shot, a four iron, was to the right of the green, but he pitched to within four feet and drained the putt for the win. “I don’t know what to say. I really don’t know to feel, what to think,” he said. “It’s amazing. I battled all day and to finish birdie-birdie and make the putts I did on the last two holes gives me so much confidence. I couldn’t be happier right now.” Hadwin, who carded rounds of
67, 69, 67 and 69, hadn’t won in two previous seasons on the Web. com Tour, which is the second tier of pro golf in North America. The Chile Open is just the second stop of the 2014 Web.com Tour season, but the win is a huge boon for Hadwin in his quest to earn a PGA Tour card for 2015. Coming off an eighth-place result at the season-opening Colombia Championship, he’s currently at the top of the Web. com Tour money list with total earnings of 136,500. The top 25 at season’s end get PGA Tour cards. “This just puts me one step closer to my goal,” he said.

Gair ‘always put the kids first’ i from page 31 one fanâ€? of his grandson Nick, an Earl Marriott Secondary rugby player, and would have been on the sidelines during Marriott’s season-opening game Tuesday in which Nick scored three tries. “Grandpa was watching,â€? she said. Gair is fondly remembered by those who worked alongside him in New West. Last month, Gair ran into old colleagues while attending a funeral service for Bill Popowich, another fixture on the provincial high school basketball scene. “I hadn’t seen him much‌ (since) he retired,â€? said Ken Bowman, who still teaches at NWSS. “He looked exactly the same, and was still the funloving guy, still a great guy, and then this happens. “We’re just devastated. Totally devastated.â€? Bowman remembers Gair as
a welcoming figure who was always eager to help. “Any kind of question you needed answered, he had answers for,â€? Bowman said. “He was an unbelievable coach‌ a wonderful man. He did so many great things. He always put the kids first.â€? In 2002, at the urging of his niece, Earl Marriott basketball player Deanna McRae, Gair came out of retirement to coach the Mariners, leading them to their first and only senior hoops title. He was, by all accounts of that season, a demanding coach who pushed his players to be better with a “tough loveâ€? approach. In a Peace Arch News’ story from Dec. 14, 2002 – after a string of early season losses – Gair said his team “finds too many excuses. They don’t come to tough games prepared to play.â€? He refused to give up on them, Stacy Elliott
however, saying in the same story that “if they get their heads together‌ they can be in the top-four in the province.â€? Three months later, Gair’s prediction proved accurate, as his Mariners – ranked fifth in the province – edged the No. 2 Brookswood Bobcats in the provincial title game. “He said to do it for ourselves, but we also did it for for him. He’s meant everything to us,â€? McRae, who was named MVP of the tournament, told Peace Arch News in a March 12, 2003 story. For his part, Gair refused to take much of the credit for his team’s championship, instead deferring to his players and assistant coaches. In a post-game interview with PAN, however, he did allow himself one moment to revel in the victory. “It feels good to go out on a winning note,â€? he said. – with files from Grant Granger

So far, I’ve looked at econo cars at the lower end of the market. No point in me offering price details because all Euro cars are substantially more expensive than the same examples sold here in Canada. Finally, I cast a close eye over the Audi S1, which is a hot sportback version of the popular A1. It comes with a 228hp 2.0-litre turbocharged gas engine capable of hitting 100 km/h in less than six seconds. I will reveal it will sell for more than $40,000 in the UK. It’s fast, it’s a premium offering and I’ll eat my hat if it shows up here. All of the above have great fuel economy going for them and most are competitively priced. The common keys to their success likely come down to two key factors. Impressive fuel consumption numbers matter because fuel in Europe is substantially more expensive than here. And Europe is crawling with folks going about their daily duties on often far less land and road space. While there is a greater acceptance of smaller vehicles in our cities, people outside urban areas have more ground to cover and so are tempted by larger vehicles, especially as a first family vehicle. And the truth is that the advances in fuel saving technology means there’s not a massive difference between the econo-cars and small family sedans. And perhaps a bigger factor is for “an extra $20 a month, madam, you could have the roominess and utility of this car.” A line heard in most dealerships, most days. And the sales people are not wrong. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

It includes brighter Xenon headlights that automatically move (up to 15 degrees) in the direction of intended travel for improved visibility while cornering at night. The steering is on the light side yet has a precise action and the CTS is agile for a vehicle its size and weight. While the V6 may seem tame at low engine speeds, the power boost above 4,000 rpm is considerable. Manual shifts are via steering wheelmounted buttons on the back of the steering wheel. The Cadillac CTS has head-turning style and comfort in abundance, but it can also offer a level of performance like no other Cadillac.

my wife happy. She nodded sympathetically. As she handed me the money, she asked if the vehicle was in any accidents. Now, I’m not a good liar. So I simply said, No. It’s her fault for not asking for a CarProof or ICBC vehicle history report. That seemed to do it. She was pleased and drove away with a smile on her face. As for me, I went home with a fat wallet. A few days later, I got a text: “Got CarProof report. Three accidents?!?!? Need money back now!!!” I panicked. But not for long. I was getting good at this. I just got a new cell number. She didn’t know my name – that old fake ID worked great. And she had no idea where I lived. Finding me would wear her out. I was in the clear. But will I be so lucky next time? *Curber – An individual posing as a private seller, but selling vehicles for profit as a business.

I was itching to sell another car. I‘d spent my first cash quickly. The new TV looked great in my living room. So I scrounged the dealer lots in my neighbourhood. I found the perfect car at a small dealership not far from my house. Gray with four doors. Everything was still intact, but it was priced low. The dealer gave me the car’s history right away. It had been in three accidents over its lifetime. Nothing too major, but damage was done and repaired. I couldn’t spot the repairs. So, I happily bought it and registered it. I didn’t want my wife and kids to know what I was up to, so I parked it around the block. I knew it would be gone in a few days. This time, I used Kijiji and Craigslist. “Car for sale. Served me well, but wife wants a new car. Accident and damage free. Looking to sell fast, low price. Cash only. Call cell for info.” I got a text message from a woman across town. I told her I’d meet her at a nearby gas station and would throw in a free tank of gas. She was thrilled. When I met her, she told me that she needed a cheap, dependable vehicle to get to her new job. She’d been taking the bus for weeks and was tired of her commute. To my annoyance, she wanted to check the vehicle thoroughly. So I distracted her. I told her I was sad to let “my baby” go, but I wanted to keep

Confessions of a Curber
drivewayBC.ca
By Ian Harwood
With the Vancouver International Auto Show just around the corner, I thought I would share my list of exciting new SUVs that are available. 2014 Ford Explorer Sport is a performance version of its popular SUV. The headlights and taillights have been blacked out to give it a sporty appearance. 20-inch painted and machined wheels allow room for the larger brakes that help it stop faster and improve performance when towing. The engine is an impressive 3.5 litre, twin turbocharged EcoBoost V6, producing a whopping 365 horsepower and 350 pound feet of torque with a six-speed automatic transmission. $46,999
2014 Range Rover Sport is not just another luxury SUV; it is a fully capable off-road vehicle. The engine is a 510 horsepower, supercharged 5.0 litre V8 that puts out 461 lb.-ft. of torque at 2,500 RPM with a six-speed automatic transmission. This transmission features Command Shift that actively responds to your driving habits and road conditions by reconfiguring the shift patterns for optimum drivability in all situations and is mated with a two-speed electronically controlled transfer case. Four wheel electronic traction control, hill descent control, and four corner air suspension with terrain response
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit equipped with a 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 engine putting out 240 hp and 420 lb. ft. of torque with an eight-speed transmission delivers excellent mileage while providing exceptional comfort. NaturaPlus leather-faced seating, wood trim with copper accents, and a 19-speaker, 825 watt Harmon/Kardon audio system keep you relaxed and alert. Up-todate safety features such as enhanced accident response system, blind spot monitoring system, back-up camera, engine immobilizer, hill start assist, and all-speed traction control are just some of the many features this vehicle has to offer to keep you safe. Excellent value. Starting at $60,895
2014 Jeep Cherokee is a completely redesigned five passenger SUV that has a front end that will stand out from the crowd. A sevenslotted grille and razor thin headlights makes the Jeep truly unique. The engine is a 2.4L Tigershark Multiair straight four cylinder delivering 184 hp and 171 lb. -ft. of torque mated to a ninespeed automatic transmission. It can tow up to 2,000 lb. The trail rated Trailhawk version has an active drive lock 4x4 system. Sport 4x4 $25,895; TrailHawk $30,895

I would just need to get used to over time but our time together wasn’t long enough for me to embrace its quirks. There were, however, other highlights of the 500L. The Lounge trim comes standard with leathertrimmed bucket seats and front heated seats, perfect for those chilly mornings. An upgraded item that was optioned on the L was the Uconnect system with a 6.5-inch screen (the standard is a 5-inch screen) complete with Bluetooth, Sirius satellite radio and a Beats Premium Audio System ($500.) If you’re a music lover, this is a great add to a Fiat. Besides, I find that the Uconnect media interface is one of the most intuitive infotainment systems to work with in the industry. Electronic stability control (ESC), hill start assist and four-wheel ABS brakes are part of its DNA, along PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: Offers valid until March 31, 2014.

The Fiat 500 is cute but might not be the most practical choice as a family vehicle. Sure, it has room for four, a peppy personality (even with its base 101 horsepower engine,) but accessing the rear seats isn’t the easiest and the cargo room is minimal. Enter the all-new-for-2014 Fiat 500L: The “L” stands for “large” so those interior volume deficiencies listed with its pint-sized sibling are no more. Dimensionally, the L is 27 inches longer, six inches taller and in width and there’s an extra 42 per cent when it comes to inside space. But wait, there’s more. The L comes with two additional doors to allow for easy access to the rear seats. And room for five passengers. It loses a little bit of its pinchthe-cheeks cuteness but its Perhaps what really practicality makes up for it. In the driver’s seat, you have stands out about this almost unadulterated compact car is just how an outward visibility. The 500L much people room features a segment-exclusive glass from the A- to D-pillars there is inside. that provide nearly 360-deAlexandra Straub gree panoramic views. Parking is easy because you can pretty much see out of all four corners. And the 500L – even with its “large” designation – still fits comfortably into urban settings. Driving the 500L, I noticed it doesn’t have quite the same amount of panache as the 500 Turbo. Granted, it’s a heavier vehicle. But to still keep some of the driving fun behind the wheel, Fiat has outfitted it with a 1.4-litre MultiAir Turbo engine that provides 160 horsepower, 184 lb./ft. of torque. It’s also available with two transmission options. Firstly, there’s a six-speed manual. Then there’s an available six−speed Euro twin clutch “automatic.” The latter of the two costs an additional $1,450 and came equipped on my 500L Lounge trim. To be honest, this dual clutch transmission was my least favourite part of the vehicle. It felt as though the gearing was off or it had some sort of gremlin inside causing a raucous to disturb the smooth functionality of what I would have expected. On the flip side, there’s nothing that I felt was fundamentally wrong with it. The transmission changed gears, got the car moving and did exactly what it was supposed to do. It also just felt weird/awkward to me, and unlike any other dual clutch transmission I’ve operated. Perhaps it is one of those features
When cruising along at highway speeds, road noise is kept to a minimum, which allowed me to enjoy the music via the Beats stereo system a little more. In corners, the 500L doesn’t have as tight of a setup as the 500, so don’t push it too hard since body roll is more evident. Perhaps what really stands out about this compact car is just how much people room there is inside. I never felt cramped nor did my passengers. Not to mention the 633L (22.4 cubic feet) of storage behind the second row seats. The MSRP of the 2014 Fiat 500L Lounge is $25,995. With the options and destination, the price as tested comes to $30,850. Visit www.fiatcanada.com for more information.

Refreshed RX350 raises the sportiness factor Toyota is known for building high-quality cars with fantastic resale value and has grabbed more Canadian Black Book “Best Retained Value� awards than any other manufacturer. 2014 Lexus RX 350 F-Sport In the Lexus line of cars and SUVs, the best seller by far is the RX 350 mid-sized SUV. Built using parts common to other Lexus and Toyota products, it represents a lot of what Toyota/ Lexus is doing right. The engine is powerful but still thrifty enough for most families, the space is generous and the design is elegant. For buyers that are looking for a bit more performance from the RX, the F-Sport package adds visual and emotional punch. Looks Over the last several years, Lexus has taken a more aggressive design approach. The Lexus RX350 The front grille is more F-Sport offers the same dynamic, designed to mimic a interior space as a spindle used in a fabric loom. This is a tip of the hat to the mid-sized sedan but origins of the Toyota Comsits higher for greater pany as a textile maker. The outward viability, comes larger 19-inch wheels come standard with all-wheel in a smoked satin finish and the suspension is tweaked for drive and has a high more performance. Around resale value. back, all RX 350 models come with a power rear lift gate. Zack Spencer One of the reasons the RX is so popular is the aggressive starting price. The base model, with the same engine as this F-Sport, starts at $46,150, making it a very attractive alternative to buying a comparable German SUV. The F-Sport model is $55,400 but comes almost fully loaded, with only two options available, the Intuitive Parking Assist and Heads up Display, which brings the price to $58,850 Inside The 2014 RX is a mid-cycle refresh of the model that was introduced in 2010. Unfortunately, Lexus didn’t refresh the inside of the cabin at all, keeping the updates to the exterior and driveline. Not to say that the inside is a disappointment, rather that some things could be tweaked. The cabin has plenty of room for a family of four with a big back seat and lots of leg room. The controller for the communications and navigation system is unique in the industry, mimicking a computer mouse. It feels very natural and the driver rarely needs to take their eyes of the road.
‘‘
The array of buttons and their less than logical layout could do with an update. The F-Sport comes with heated and cooled seats but it took me about five minutes to locate the switch in the centre armrest. The dial for the tuner is as far away from the driver as it could be and the seating position is very high. Drive At the heart of all RX 350 models is a very versatile 3.5L V6 engine with 270hp. The F-Sport is made sportier by the inclusion of an eight-speed automatic transmission instead of the regular six-speed unit. By adding two more gears, this new model really jumps away from a stop and pulls very well to highway speeds. Two extra gears make a world of difference, helping to bring the engine to life and improving fuel economy. The suspension has also been modified to include
2014 Lexus RX 350 F-Sport sport tuned dampers and springs. I could certainly tell this RX is different; in some city conditions, the ride can be very choppy and not what typical Lexus buyers would expect. The upside is that open road
driving is much more sure-footed and dynamic. When the RX is thrown off-centre the top-heavy nature of the RX shows its head; the centre of gravity feels much higher than some of the other sporty models in this class. Verdict The RX350 is the best seller in the Lexus line for good reason. It offers the same interior space as a mid-sized sedan but sits higher for greater outward viability, comes standard with all-wheel drive and has a high resale value. The RX 350 F-Sport takes all the goodness of the regular RX and makes it a bit more aggressive, especially in the acceleration front. Potential buyers would be well advised to drive both the regular model and this sportier version to see if you can live with the choppy ride. It really is dramatic. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Elegance and unique floorplans at Mason&Green Modern Tudor-style architecture and a great location are combined in Langley’s Willoughby neighbourhood with Mason&Green, a collection of two- and three-bedroom townhomes from Polygon that have already been extremely popular. “These are beautiful floorplans,” says sales manager Theresa Liljedahl. “It’s a new and unique design.” These new floorplans include side-by-side garages for the added convenience of never having to move one car to get the
other out, and powder rooms on the main floor. Oversized windows let in tons of natural light, while ninefoot ceilings on the main floor contribute to the sense of spaciousness. Laminate wood flooring is included throughout the living areas, with plush carpeting in the bedrooms and on the stairs. Other gorgeous features include engineered stone countertops in the kitchen, complemented by contemporary custom-crafted flat-panel laminate cabinetry in gloss white or

The bathrooms are luxurious, with a spacious walk-in shower with glass door in the ensuite and bathtub with ceramic tile surround in the main bathroom. Designerselected laminate countertops with an integrated backsplash are featured in both, as well as custom-designed flat-panel laminate cabinetry in the same colour schemes as the kitchen. Mason&Green is within easy access to shopping, dining and services at Willoughby Town Centre, as well as an elementary school directly next door.

The Rockwoods, Anthem Properties’ first townhome development, features West Coast contemporary-style architecture, above, and gourmet kitchens with stainlesssteel appliances and polished granite countertops, middle right. The homes are built in an open-plan layout, with large windows, right, and plenty of space to entertain or relax, below right. Homeowners will have access to amenities building The Rockwoods Club, above right.
Something a little different at The Rockwoods Anthem Properties is bringing something special to Surrey’s Fleetwood neighbourhood with The Rockwoods, a collection of two- and three-bedroom townhomes that truly has something for everyone. “This is Anthem’s first townhome property,” says Director of Marketing Peter Edmonds. “We wanted something that stood out, something a little different.” Built in a West Coast contemporary architecture style, The Rockwoods combines stonework and timber in one beautiful exterior package. “There’s a nice balance here,” says Edmonds. “People recognize classic architecture, but this is something different. You have to execute contemporary well, as I
strongly believe we’ve done here.” German-engineered wide-plank wood laminate flooring is included throughout the living areas, while plush carpeting is featured in the bedrooms and dens. Huge 9’8” ceilings make the homes feel even more open. The floorplans are spacious, ranging from 1,189 to over 1,400 square feet. The gourmet kitchens include polished granite countertops complemented by stainless-steel appliances, contemporary flat-panel cabinetry and a designer tile backsplash. Select homes have a kitchen island or pantry with an integrated work station. The ensuite bathroom have their own polished granite countertops and flat-panel cabinetry. Porcelain tile flooring complements the ceramic tile surrounds and contemporary glass shower surround or soaker tub. The Rockwoods is perfectly situated to take advantage of everything the Fleetwood neighbourhood has to offer, including dining, shopping, education, leisure and recreation opportunities.
“It’s very well-connected,” says Edmonds. “We wanted to create a community in what is already established.” Homeowners will also have access to The Rockwoods Club, a 4,500-square-foot amenities building with a fully equipped gym, kitchen, entertainment lounge and much more. There will also be a children’s playground, community gardens and landscaped grounds and walking trails in the community. “The amenities are really an extension of your living space,” says Edmonds. The second phase of homes at The Rockwoods was recently released, and Edmonds notes that there has already been huge interest. “The first release of second phase homes has been incredibly successful,” he says. Homes at The Rockwoods start in the low $300s.

OBITUARIES
INFORMATION
HENDRY, William Blackwood May 20, 1928 - March 2, 2014 Born in Loans, Scotland, May 20, 1928 Bill arrived in Canada at the age of 23. Traveling to BC he easily found employment as a carpenter. In Port Alice he met his wife, Diane. Married on August 29, 1957 in Vancouver, they moved to Whalley with their two girls, Janice and Beth. Working for Dominion Construction, Bill supervised many large building projects not only in Vancouver, but also in Prince George, Smithers, Cranbrook, Powell River, Victoria, Ladysmith and Vernon, where his family lived for six years. He retired to South Surrey after 37 years of dedicated work with Dominion. Though work was his passion, his greatest joy were his grandchildren; Troy, Michelle, Megan and Zack and his great grandchildren; Elijah and Noah. After battling three strokes and two bouts of cancer, he chose to move on and passed away peacefully at Peace Arch Hospital on March 2, 2014. Bill will be sorely missed by his wife, brother and two sisters, daughters, in laws, partners, and grand and great grandchildren who are comforted by the knowledge that if there is a hammer in heaven, or a stick to be carved, he will find it. Memorial service to be held at Peace Portal Alliance Church Chapel, White Rock at 2:00pm on April 4, 2014.
FORD, John Peter 1933-2014 It is with much sadness that the family announces the passing of John on February 28, 2014. He passed away peacefully with his family by his side, after a courageous battle with cancer. John was a wonderful husband to Joan (53 years), a proud and loving father to Bob (Shirley) and Don, and a terrific grandfather to Katie. He will be sadly missed by his father George (102 years old), his younger brother Gerry (Sylvia), his sister-in-law Connie and several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his mother Annie, his younger brother Bill, his sister-in-law Valerie and his nephew Jeffrey. John was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where he lived until his graduation from the University of Manitoba in 1956. He then began his 36 year career with Imperial Oil Ltd. serving in various management positions in Edmonton, Calgary, South Africa and Toronto. He retired in 1992 as President of Atlas Supply Company of Canada Ltd. In 1994, he and Joan moved from Toronto to White Rock to enjoy their retirement years. John’s love of sports began in his younger days when he played football, baseball and hockey. In retirement, golf became his passion and he so enjoyed a game with his family and friends. One of the highlights of his life was the trip he took in 2005 with his two sons to play golf at Pebble Beach. At John’s request there will be no funeral service. To celebrate his life, an informal reception will be held at Hazelmere Golf & Country Club (18150 - 8th Avenue, Surrey, BC) on Sunday, March 16th, from 1:00 to 4:00pm. Donations in his memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society (Pancreatic Cancer Research), or to the Peace Arch Hospice, where John received exceptional care. (www.whiterockhospice.org) Special thanks to Dr. C. King, Dr. M. O’Brien, Dr. Johal and Dr. Joshi and the kind and caring nursing staff for all their support during this difficult time.
In Loving Memory of Gregory Kirk McCauley Nov. 23, 1955 - Dec. 21, 2013 With great sadness we are announcing the unexpected passing of our dad.

Loved and survived by her son Justin her family Pamela, Todd, Fred, Kelly and Sharon; nieces Michaela, Milena, Kimberly; cousins Dan (Ananya), Dave (Tracy), Max (Jill), Janet (Steve) and countless friends.

It is with sadness that the family announces the passing of George Jacob, at Peace Arch Hospital, Hospice Unit, in White Rock, BC, on February 27, 2014, at the age of 82. Loving husband to Rose Jacob (nee Aleksic) for almost 60 years. Proud father of Irene (Mike Mannella) and John (Audrey). Devoted grandfather to Adam, Emily, Rachel, and Kate. Much loved brother-inlaw of Stephanie and Frank Frost of Surrey BC, and Uncle to Richard and Wendy Frost. Survived by 1 sister and 2 brothers in Romania. Born in Turnu Severin, Romania, he made his way to Italy in 1949 and then to Canada in 1951 to start a new life. After working in Quebec, and the mine in Sudbury, he was married and started a family in Beardmore, Ont, while working in the Leitch Gold Mine. Moving to Fort William, Ont. in 1956, he became a welder and pipefitter and later a foreman working on the construction of many paper mills across Northwestern Ontario. In 1973, he and his wife purchased their own motel business in Thunder Bay, Ont, which they ran successfully for 14 years, later retiring to White Rock, BC in 1999. He was a Mason and volunteered over the years in assisting new immigrants. He was a private and philosophical man, who studied science, appreciated art, and enjoyed soccer, chess and wine. He enjoyed helping friends & strangers alike & could repair anything from engines to electronics. He will be greatly missed by those who loved him & those whose lives he touched along the way. Remembrances would be gratefully received at either the “Peach Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation Hospice Fund”, in White Rock, BC, or the Canadian Cancer Society.

DIENO, Arthur Jacob Died peacefully on February 9, 2014 in Abbotsford, BC at the age of 94. Born in Young, Saskatchewan, Art obtained a Bachelor’s degree from UBC and a Master’s degree in Geography from the University of Washington. After teaching in Trail, Port Alberni, and North Vancouver, he worked as a school system administrator in Surrey. He enjoyed being an educator and was very popular with his students.

He was pre-deceased by his beloved wife, Edith Margaret, in 2001. Art is mourned by his children Dianne, Cindy, and David; grandchildren Sean, Ryan, and Gillian; and siblings Harold, Edna, Audrey, and Donald. The family would like to thank his physician Dr Bryan Prentice. No service by request.
