Surrey City Development Corporation responds to ‘mixed reviews’ over Semiahmoo plan
Arts-towers height still up in the air Alex Browne Staff Reporter
The president and CEO of Surrey City Development Corporation says that nothing, not even a specific height, is set in stone about the final form of a proposed twotower residential development for South Surrey – one that could provide a significant arts hub for the community in the form of a 350seat performing arts theatre and a contemporary arts café/gallery. “This is not going to be ramrodded through,” Aubrey Kelly said in

Sarah Atkinson and Aubrey Kelly. an interview with Peace Arch News, while at the same time acknowledging there’s little chance of the contentious project returning without
a tower component (last suggested to be the equivalent of 27 storeys). “We’re probably never going to be able to make 100 per cent of people happy. What we saw after some of the initial unveiling of plans was that there were mixed reviews, which was not unexpected.” The project – a partnership by the city’s own development corporation and the Reifel Cooke Group – is still in a phase of “fact finding and issue finding,” Kelly said, gathering feedback and identifying concerns of stakeholders, including nearby
residents and arts groups, in an attempt to build consensus. He expects the process to continue for several months at least. “There’s no particular timeline,” Kelly said. “I expect it to be the end of summer before we put pencil to paper again, and then engage with the city planning department, go to the advisory design panel and then go on to a public hearing.” The plans are still largely conceptual, he added: “Whether they call for lower, squatter buildings or taller, more slender buildings – all
that’s still in play.” Whatever the final form of the project, Kelly said, a certain density is required to make it work. “We would need a density of four,” he explained. “That’s four times the site area of approximately 80,000 sq. ft. – or 320,000 sq. ft.” The reality, he said, is that without that density, the proposed arts amenity would not be possible. “That’s not a threat,” he added. “It’s just what would be needed to make it financially viable.” i see page 4

BC Liberals send letter to Port Metro Vancouver urging ‘transparency’
MLAs prod coal port to work with health officers Alex Browne & Jeff Nagel Black Press
Three BC Liberal MLAs are urging Port Metro Vancouver to work with medical health officers in reassessing human health risks from increased coal shipments to feed a proposed new terminal at Fraser Surrey Docks. MLAs Gordon Hogg (Surrey-White Rock),
Marvin Hunt (Surrey-Panorama) and Scott Hamilton (Delta North) signed a Feb. 25 letter urging the port to ensure a new coal-impact review announced last month is transparent to the “growing number of municipalities and citizens who have expressed reasonable unanswered questions.” Port authority CEO Robin Silvester last month ordered the review to plug defi-
ciencies in an earlier environmental health assessment but said further findings on health risks won’t be referred back to medical health officers for comment ahead of a final decision on the new $15-million coal terminal, which would bring more coal trains through White Rock, Surrey and Delta. “I am concerned, that without a transparent process involving the medical health officers,
that many questions and concerns will go unanswered or not be accepted by a majority of the residents,” the MLAs’ letter states. They say every reasonable effort must be made to transparently share scientifically significant information if the Fraser Surrey Docks project is to gain a “social licence” from the public. i see page 4

open seven days a week, it closes by 5 p.m. on weekdays and 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Given the pressure on people’s schedules, it would make sense for it to be open until at least 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, so that people could drop off unwanted items after the work day. It would also be helpful if each city had one or more central locations where all types of recyclables, such as electronic items, could be dropped off. One of the challenges these days is finding out which place takes which type of recyclable. The transfer station accepts many of them, but not all – and many bottle depots also take some, but not all. The new Multi Material B.C. approach to recycling may make this situation even worse, as there are some significant concerns with just how well it will work. Many businesses are complaining that higher fees they will be charged will hurt both consumers and their bottom lines. In a consumer-oriented society like ours, there will always be waste. There needs to be a well-co-ordinated approach to dealing with it, and illegal dumping needs to be discouraged strongly. One of the best ways to do that is to make it easy to get rid of unwanted items. There is definitely some fine-tuning that could make this easier, and reduce illegal dumping.

Medical-marijuana inspections deemed necessary at former Surrey grow-ops
Cities take different tacks as pot snuffed Kevin Diakiw & Alex Browne Black Press
Medical-marijuana grow-ops in residential homes have to be shut down as of next week (April 1), and the City of Surrey plans to follow up to make sure the houses are safe. People ignoring the city’s requests for remediation work may face thousands of dollars in inspection costs. In White Rock – which last week approved bylaw amendments to exclude zoning for commercial medical-pot grow-ops from the city – there are no set fees for remediation work. However, chief administrative officer Dan Bottrill said his city will recover costs above and beyond “normal routine investigation,” on a case-by-case basis, to ensure
properties are up to standard for occupation. The cleanup initiative in both cities comes as Health Canada ends the ability for people licensed to use medicinal marijuana to grow it at home. Medical pot now must now be purchased from commercial producers. In Surrey, about 1,000 homes have been used to grow pot for medicinal purposes, according to Surrey deputy chief Dan Barnscher, who told the city’s police committee Monday that 309 locations are known. Bottrill said that, while White Rock is aware – through a Freedom of Information request – of a number of medical-marijuana licensees in the city, only “a handful” of actual grow-op locations are known. “We don’t have a list,” he said. “It is a bit of a con-
cern, because you don’t know the locations.” He said, however, that under the city’s controlled-substance bylaw, inspectors have the authority to go onto any property to make sure it is deemed suitable for occupancy and can shut down any property that doesn’t meet health and safety standards. Some of the risks associated with decommissioned marijuana grow operations include chemical residue, mold in the walls and unsafe wiring – which could lead to electrical fires. “If we become aware of a former grow-op, we owe a duty of care to ensure the property is inspected,” Bottrill said, adding he expects most to become known over time. In Surrey, however, Barnscher says notices
will be going out to owners of former medical grow-ops on April 1, and they will be expected to begin remediation work within 30 days. If they don’t, Surrey will send out inspectors and charge the homeowner $5,200. Every month after that, bylaw officers will show up, which will cost the homeowner between $800 and $900 per visit. Barnscher said the fees are to recover the cost of staff time. Refusal to pay will result in the fees being added to property taxes. The city is asking homeowners to hire a qualified professional to conduct the remediation work; a list can be found at www. surrey.ca/city-services/14325.aspx More about Health Canada’s new regulations can be found at http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca

Retraining days
Senior assaulted in Newton

Surrey’s top cop is rushing to put together another option to replace Community Safety Officers (CSOs), whose program will be disbanded next year. The four-year-old policing program – a key in the city’s Crime Reduction Strategy – is coming to an end, leaving the city looking for costeffective ways to get more law enforcement boots on the ground. Surrey RCMP Officer in Charge Bill Fordy has said options to replace the CSOs, include “community Bill Fordy constables” Offi cer in Charge (CSOs who are armed and presumably better trained); “community prevention” officers; or regular RCMP constables. Fordy told the city’s police committee Monday the nine CSOs with the city have until the end of the month to decide what they want to do. Some will opt for more training to become community constables or full police officers. Fordy is also looking into the creation of civilian safety officers, who would be direct hires of the city, but would work under the direction of the RCMP. Fordy is ironing out details, such as what roles they would undertake and what uniforms they would wear. Mayor Dianne Watts said Surrey will lose the nine CSOs but gain 20 more safety personnel over the next two years. That’s in addition to 24 police officers being added in the next two civic budgets.
A senior was taken to hospital last week after a brazen midday beating to his face and hands at a Newton park. It’s an assault that bears an eerie similarity to a fatal attack on a hockey mom a short distance away. That said, police don’t believe this most recent attack is related to any other incidents. Surrey Mounties issued a news release Tuesday asking for public assistance after the 72-year-old man was beaten and robbed at 1 p.m. last Thursday at Newton Athletic Park. Police responded to the call for assistance in the 7300-block of 128 Street to find the elderly man suffering from injuries to his face and hands. The victim described his attacker as a man with a dark complexion in his early 20s, approximately five-foot-eight with a slim build, and wearing a hoodie, red jacket and dark sweatpants. The assailant is believed to have fled the area southbound along the park trails. Police describe the suspect as darker-skinned, “perhaps Somali.” The attack occurred just over three kilometers from where hockey mom Julie Paskall was fatally beaten in December outside Newton Arena, near 72 Avenue and 136B Street. The troubled area near where Paskall was attacked is referred to by locals as “Somali Pirate Park,” and is known as a hangout for drug dealers. It’s believed the attacker in last week’s assault may have been after the victim’s jewelry. As a result, police are reminding citizens about being vigilant when it comes to their personal possessions and being aware of their surroundings. For information visit the “Protect Yourself ” section of the RCMP website (www.surreyrcmp.ca). Anyone with tips about this incident is asked to call 604-599-0502.

‘No conflict’ over city’s involvement i from page 1 The project combines land owned by each partner at 152 Street and 19 Avenue –“Together, it’s enough land for a significant development that could provide such an amenity,” Kelly said. Opponents, including the Semiahmoo Residents Association and the recently formed Semiahmoo Against Towers, have objected to the height of the proposed plan, made public last fall. And although the arts community includes some of the projects most ardent supporters, some have made it clear that continuing support hinges on a governance model for the arts spaces that ensure accessibility and affordability for local groups. Kelly said that while the resolution of the governance issue will be welcomed by SCDC, it’s beyond its purview; he defers to city arts manager Sheila McKinnon in finding a model that will satisfy local arts stakeholders. Opponents have emphasized they do not oppose the arts aspect of the plans, but they have characterized it as window-dressing for a project they fear will impact traffic patterns, impede neighbourhood access and create a precedent for highrises that could lower prop-

Initial plans seen at open house. erty values and attract crime. SCDC development manager Sarah Atkinson noted the project has been more than two years in development, including extensive consultation with local arts groups, once arts space was identified as the most appropriate community amenity – the city’s tradeoff for allowing higher density in specific ‘landmark’ locations in the Semiahmoo Town Centre. Further, she said, while the project is the first to appear under current OCP amendments for the area, it is conforming with a vision for the area already approved, rather than attempting to create a precedent by itself. “The Semiahmoo Town Centre plan has been in place since 2006,” she said. “All kinds of different consulting groups have looked at what a town centre needs for
viability and livability; how many jobs and how many residents does it need? It isn’t just density. A town centre plan is not taken arbitrarily – years and years of analysis have gone into it.” Public meetings held so far have shown a great deal of support for the project, Kelly and Atkinson said – particularly in the lifestyle of a “walkable town centre” which, they say, could promote less reliance on vehicles. “If you don’t provide vibrancy, you’re going to force people to use their cars and go to other places, like Morgan Crossing,” Kelly said. “While a lot of the time we find the most vocal are people opposed, there has been substantial support for the project,” Atkinson added. Kelly addressed another issue – the perception that Surrey is in a conflict approving a project in which the SCDC is a partner. “We are an arm’s length, wholly-owned subsidiary of the City of Surrey – they are the single stockholder,” he said. “We’re a for-profit real estate development company. “We’re not a department of the city… We come to the planning counter the same as any other developer.”
Letter ‘wasn’t for political reasons’ i from page 1 Hogg said Wednesday he had originally approached Hunt and Hamilton about signing the letter – and conferred with them on the content – because all three are MLAs representing the rail corridor that would be affected by increased coal shipments. He said the letter wasn’t made public last month because he hadn’t yet checked with the other MLAs to make sure they were OK with publishing it.
“The letter was, first and foremost, to express our concerns to (Port Metro Vancouver),” Hogg said. “It wasn’t something we were trying to do for political reasons.” Hogg said that over the last year he has received more than 100 emails and messages and met with numerous groups and individuals concerned about the impact of increased coal shipments. He noted also both provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall and Fraser Health chief medi-

cal health officer Dr. Paul Van Buynder have said the previous health review for the project “did not meet acceptable standards.” Hogg said the intent was to endorse Port Metro Vancouver’s call for Fraser Surrey Docks to conduct further health research – and to encourage a review that would measure up to health officers’ requirements – “so that we can stand before the people of our communities and say ‘here’s the results of a robust review.’”

Rumour has it…
T
here’s a fine line between being in the know and simply grinding the rumour mills – and in this era of social-network posts and instantaneous tweets and texts, that line is becoming easier and easier to cross. Even staid, sober publications like this one are not immune from following up on speculation that may, or may not, be based on solid information. Thus it was that when we recently inquired of Kevin Falcon – erstwhile BC Liberal MLA, government minister and one-time leadership hopeful – whether he was contemplating running for federal office, the Ocean Park resident could only respond with a chuckle. “So far the rumours I’ve heard about me is that I’m running for mayor of Surrey, mayor of Vancouver or federal office,” he laughed this week. “Despite all those rumours, I’m doing none of the above.” For the record, Falcon, recently appointed an honorary director of the Surrey Board of Trade, says he is working “happily in the private sector” as executive vice-president of Anthem Capital and “very excited to continue doing so.” Similarly, feverish reports in the Vancouver media that Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts was being courted by the Conservatives to run federally in South Surrey-White Rock came as news to electoral district association president Jerry Presley. “I haven’t heard yet, and normally I’d be the first,” he told us. It used to be said that “rumours are flying.” In the 21st century they seem to have achieved supersonic speed, as our fundamental “need to know” seems in constant collision with our apparent need to be “in the know.” Even major news networks have stumbled in recent years in their rush to hurtle headlong at a headline. Incorrect and misleading information is not only worthless to informed opinion – it carries untold dangers with it. Rumours – and our willingness to give credence to them – have been responsible for fear, chaos and even death. Many years ago, Orson Welles exposed the limitations of the radio technology of his time with an infamous ‘fake’ broadcast of a Martian landing that caused thousands to panic. For those who champion the instantaneous media of our own era, some caution and sober thought may be in order. Speed of communication means little without accuracy. It doesn’t matter how fast we’re in the know, if, in the final analysis, we know nothing.

payments or the grind of a 9-to-5 job, and to a new life where my biggest decision is deciding which sports car I want to drive that particular day. Usually, the only time I really entertain such ideas is when I go to Las Vegas. The flight south is filled with dreams of hitting a jackpot on a slot machine, or going on a big-money heater at the blackjack table. I have a running joke with my brother where, the day before I leave for Vegas, I tell him to pack a bag just in case, because if I hit it big I’ll send a jet for him. That plane has remained grounded. So while I waited for confirmation of my family’s new wealth, I decided to take matters into my own hands, and logged into my long-forgotten online poker account. I had received an email a day earlier reminding me I had $5.87 left. Sure, it would take time to turn five bucks into a fortune, but I’ve never been afraid of a little hard work. Less than 15 minutes later, my account was whittled down to a dime, my last game ended when my three Queens lost to a full house. Seconds later, my phone buzzed. A text from my brother. “Didn’t win” was all it said. (Well, it wasn’t all it said, but this is a family newspaper.) Then, half an hour later, my dad called to say his numbers didn’t match, either. And just like that, three dreams were dead. Cancel the yachts. Nick Greenizan is a sports reporter at the Peace Arch News, and unless his luck changes, he will be for a long, long, long time.

Write here, in Democracy honour of Larry under threat Editor: A great man and asset in our community, Larry Robinson, will no longer been seen here, (City grieves for ‘courageous’ councillor, March 18). He passed away on Saturday, March 15. “A strange place for an obituary” you may say, here on the letter-tothe-editor page. This is not his obituary, and definitely not intended to minimize him as a person or be disrespectful to him or his wife, friends and family members. I simply wanted to write a short letter here because this is where many people of White Rock may have known Larry. As a caring and wise man, he was an activist in our community for issues that mattered. And often to get his point across, he would take the time to write his letters here. If there was something in the community that needed addressing, Larry would take the time and energy to do his research and put out his opinion. It is the intention of Larry Robinson this writer to made a difference encourage you, members of our fine community, to follow his lead. Larry went much further in his commitment to White Rock than most of us will ever do. He lived here, worked here, served on council and volunteered many hours to committees and groups that were focused on making White Rock a better place to live. Heck, even at the coffee shop you knew where Larry stood! He was himself everywhere he went. I had the privilege of knowing Larry for the past 10 years, and he happens to be one of six very special men that I personally knew that have passed away in recent years. Too many. Too young. All very fine people. And they all touched people’s lives while they were here. Whether it was Terry giving away his time and free printing for fundraising, Ryan smiling on the corner and brightening people’s days, or Larry and his ongoing efforts to make important changes to our city – they all cared and they all made White Rock a better place. This is our city, and this is an important space for people to voice their opinions and make suggestions. As a legacy to Larry, I would encourage everyone to make a difference. He can never be replaced, but his passion can continue. Volunteer your time. Have an opinion. Come up with an idea. Support issues that matter to you. And put it all in a letter to the editor. Dr. Jennifer Hammersmark, White Rock
Editor: This is a wake-up call for all voters in the federal riding of South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale. The Conservative government, through the proposed “Fair Elections Act,” is trying to make it more difficult for you to exercise your constitutional right to vote.
Those who could be affected are the elderly in care homes, some aboriginals, college students, homeless and other transient people. Experts estimate some 500,000 citizens could be disenfranchised with passage of this bill. It further limits the power of the Elections Canada officers and switches the reporting function from Parliament to the Ministry of Justice. It is not only the Ukraine whose democracy is being threatened, it is our own. Terry Garvey, Surrey

Sake of appearances Editor: Nothing has changed in Surrey to end the physical and emotional cruelty inflicted on permanently chained dogs in Surrey, despite the new bylaw limiting dog chaining to four hours a day (Surrey to ban tethering of dogs, April 26, 2012; Tether bylaw doubted, Nov. 14, 2013). As the founder of Campaign for Animal Rights Legislation, I warned Mayor Dianne Watts and her council during my anti-chaining presentation to them in April 2011 that numerous Canadian and U.S. municipalities had found that time-limited tethering laws proved to be unenforceable and that only a total tethering ban was effective and enforceable. However, council ignored my warnings and the experience of other municipalities and, as a result, Surrey continues to be a haven for owners of permanently chained dogs. I cite the case of a permanently chained pit bull cross in North Surrey on a concrete driveway who was reported by a neighbour. Susan Fitzgerald contacted Surrey Animal Control after the bylaw was enacted. An animal control officer responded and the dog was temporarily removed from his chain and put into a dark, unheated workshop on the property. Within days, the dog was back on his chain full time. When Fitzgerald was unable to reach the officer
again, she contacted the SPCA and was advised that, other than ensuring a flap had been installed on the entrance to the doghouse and an insulating layer of straw had been placed on the floor, there was nothing they could do. As animal control notes, the timelimited tethering bylaw is essentially unenforceable, as it is difficult for the officers to confirm how long the dog had been on the chain. As the doghouse was preferable to the large, dark unheated workshop, Fitzgerald stopped calling. And the dog remains on his chain full time. This is exactly what we told the city would happen. We advised them that passing anti-tethering bylaws, without also passing cruelconfinement legislation – making it illegal to permanently confine dogs to pens, sheds and garages – would result in even worse living conditions for formerly chained dogs. I do not believe that Surrey council was serious about improving the life of chained dogs in their community. If they were, they would have enacted a ban on the unattended tethering of dogs as New West, Lion’s Bay and Delta have done and as we recommended. I believe Surrey just wanted to give the appearance of improving the lives of chained dogs. That is all they have achieved. Janet Olson, Surrey
NDP needs more than nice Editor: My NDP does not get it. In February 1969 on a bus to UBC, freshly arrived from the Caribbean island of Trinidad, I met and was befriended by Emery Barnes. The following week I visited him in his office at Trout lake Community Centre, and I became an NDP member and political activist. I was around for the 1972 Dave Barrett provincial government and, following him, Mike Harcourt and Glen Clark governments. My party is not listening to the rank-and-file members and, after the last provincial election, I asked myself whether I will live long enough to see another NDP provincial government in B.C. Recently, Mike Farnworth, a nice man, announced he is presenting himself to be our next party leader. Have we not learned anything? There must be no right of passage to leadership in our party. Farnworth is not the answer, just like Adrian Dix was not the answer, which we found out too late, to our chagrin. They are both exemplary people but not 21st century politicians in today’s political environment and telesensitive market. Farnworth’s personality is unsuitable to attract and motivate generation X, whose ballot presence the party urgently needs. We, the party, need real political people to take the forefront. We need a leader who understands that in tough times, their job as our leader is to fire up the base membership and continually attract and welcome gen X to the party and ultimately the polls. We need a larger-than-life personality, someone colourful and charismatic for the task of leader today. I know his is not an easy task, but to stay silent while the party ponders the next leader is definitely not an option. In the mix, we need to get rid of the nondescript grey toadies that the party backroom operatives keep serving up to the membership. The party can only redefine itself with a new breed of leadership candidates and time is of essence. Orvis Noel, Surrey
Canada-wide embarrassment Editor: I gag every time I hear about Rob Ford in the media or on TV where, incidentally, he has made a total fool and laughing-stock of himself and disgraced our country. I understand the Ontario police need to make an investigation to check for evidence of criminality, but I say enough already. Whether he goes to jail or not, forget about all this publicity and, in the eyes of citizens, pretend he doesn’t exist. He seems to get off being in the public eye, regardless of the reason, and he is a disgrace to our country. Hopefully all this dies down and we can get rid of him for good. M. Downey, Surrey

Nearly 300 homes in White Rock ineligible for grant
Rise in property tax expected Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Nearly 300 homeowners in White Rock may be paying higher property taxes this year, as a result of changes to the homeowner grant program included in the provincial budget. For 2014, the province has reduced the threshold for the phase-out of the grant to $1.1 million from $1,295,000. Eligible homeowners will see their grant reduced by $5 per $1,000 of assessed value over $1.1 million. City manager Dan Bottrill
said this month that while he wouldn’t describe the change as a hardship, he agreed it will have an impact. In White Rock, it affects 290 single-family and strata properties that, last year, were eligible for the full $570 basic grant. At $5 per $1,000, the basic grant is now eliminated when assessed value hits $1,214,000. An additional grant of $275 – available to those 65 or older, permanently disabled or veterans of certain wars – is eliminated when assessed value hits $1,269,000.
Bottrill noted a KPMG assessment determined the threshold change reduces the percentage of eligible homeowners who will receive the full grant to 93.8 from 95. Mayor Wayne Baldwin cited the threshold change in his Feb. 24 council report. For those financially challenged by it, he pointed to the possibility of deferring taxes, a provincial program that offers low-interest loans to eligible homeowners.

Lower Mainland real estate markets climbed modestly in the first two months of the year. The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB), which includes Surrey, White Rock and North Delta, reported a benchmark detached house price of $558,100 in February, up about 1.5 per cent from December and up 3.2 per cent year-over-year. Townhouses were up 0.7 per cent to $296,700 from February of 2013 but the benchmark price of Fraser Valley apartments dropped 4.6 per cent from a year ago to $193,200. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver said its benchmark price for a typical detached house climbed 3.5 per cent from a year ago to $932,900.
Attached units were $458,300 – a 0.6 per cent one-year gain. Apartments were up 3.6 per cent over one year to $373,300. The biggest one-year gains reported were for detached houses in Vancouver and South Burnaby, which are up more than seven per cent, while detached houses in North Delta and Langley were up six per cent. The biggest recent drop was in Abbotsford apartments – their benchmark price is down 21 per cent from a year ago. Other areas where prices have dropped include apartments in

Squamish and Whistler – both down 13 per cent – and detached houses on Bowen Island and the Sunshine Coast, both down more than four per cent. The most expensive market to buy a detached house remained the west side of Vancouver, where the benchmark price is $2.15 million, while the cheapest was Mission at $352,800. It’s taking less time for a home to sell – an average of 51 days in the Valley. Both real estate boards reported sales are up significantly, reflecting a typical jump in buyer interest as spring approaches.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
In city’s history, 1914 holds much significance
A year to remember in White Rock T
he year 1914 – one of the most memorable in modern history – was a landmark year for White Rock as well. It’s the year our community icon, the pier, came into being with such excitement that the opening of the Panama Canal fueled dreams of White Rock becoming a deep water port. “There is every reason to believe that ocean-going vessels will be regularly calling at the port of White Rock before the year 1914 is out,” the Surrey Gazette predicted. Work began in July, just a week before the outbreak of the First World War, and approximately Lorraine and Hugh Ellenwood 750 feet were completed that summer. A striking addition to White Rock’s waterfront, the pier also added to the continuing wrangle with the railway regarding public access to the beach. The economic boom created here by the opening of the Campbell River Lumber Company in 1913, carried over into 1914 and prompted a report in the Columbian newspaper in February entitled “White Rock Incensed.” It rebuked the Great Northern Railway for alleging that White Rock “has a winter population of but 200. A careful census of the town has been made and the results show that it has a winter population of 430 people and that it would be twice that size if lower fares were granted by the Great Northern for the winter months as well as the summer season.” The roundtrip fares of $1.35 to Vancouver and 80 cents to New Westminster were considered almost prohibitive in 1914. This, along with the ongoing battle with the railway over the narrow seafront road (Marine Drive) received in exchange for the original road (now the railroad bed) ensured that GNR officialdom was not the pet of the community. With an estimated 200 men employed at the mill, the influx of families necessitated a larger school to replace the tiny one built on Henry Thrift’s property in 1910.

The new school, built in 1914 on hilltop land donated by John Roper, drew families to settle nearby, thus creating a new subdivision. The two-classroom building was completed in time for school opening in the fall with a complement of 40 pupils. Other notable signs of social and economic development in 1914 included creation of the Loyal Orange Lodge “Semiahmoo” with George Radford as master; the White Rock Social Club formed with David Hughes, John Best, W. Thrift, B. LaChance, and Earl Barge as the committee; and the formal organization of the South Surrey Conservative Association under the presidency of Henry Thrift.

Spring is here!
Students and seniors work together on project
Bridging a generation gap Semiahmoo Secondary students aimed to bridge the age gap between themselves and seniors at the White Rock Social Justice Film Festival.

Zhang came up with the idea after attending a David Suzuki Youth and Elders summit ear-

Surrey man at 162 pints and counting
Donor celebrates 30 years Warren Jané Black Press
Not every hero wears a uniform. Case in point: Carl Hnatuk. Dressed in a Canucks hat, T-shirt and blue jeans, Hnatuk, 49, sat down last Friday to give his 162nd pint of blood, marking his 30th consecutive year as a blood donor and 486 lives potentially saved by his contributions. “I’ve been rolling up my sleeves and giving blood like clockwork since I became a donor on April 16, 1984,” he said proudly. “I’d like to encourage more people to give blood like I do.” When Hnatuk was 19, he and his father were walking by a blood drive which was set up at the then-Surrey Place Mall. At the encouragement of his father, Hnatuk faced his fear of needles head-on, donating his first pint of blood. Giving blood at the most frequently allowable 56-day intervals ever since, Hnatuk has become a familiar face to the Canadian Blood Services staff. “He’s always a very pleasant, very positive person and always so willing to give,” said nurse Sandra Peterson, who has been working at the clinic for the past six years. “It’s nice to see that there are people that are able to come consistently and that’s their way of

Carl Hnatuk prepares for his latest blood donation. giving to people.” Hnatuk seemed to be much more comfortable giving blood than he was 30 years ago, joking around and pointing to a spot on his forearm as clinic staff prepared his him for the needle. “Sometimes when they poke me, they do it right here. It’s a tender spot, so it kind of hurts, but I’m used to it now,” he said, laughing. Mobile blood-donor clinics visit Star of the Sea Centre in

Native women need more than just words
Action must include inquiry
W
hile some progress has been made in ensuring greater equality for women, much more action is needed. At home in Canada, our federal government should agree to hold a national inquiry into missing and Japreet murdered aboriginal women. The Native Women’s Association of Canada states that 668 aboriginal women are missing or murdered. Other statistics and reports find that aboriginal women suffer higher rates of poverty. Human Rights Watch has also found cases in which police have abused their powers against aboriginal women in northern BC. While the government has enacted certain legislation and given funding for initiatives aiming to tackle the issues, not enough has been done to rectify the matter at hand. The day before International Women’s Day, March 8, the federal Special Committee on Violence Against Indigenous Women released its report, which included recommendations related to an “awareness campaign, support for the family of victims, support for commu-
nities, police services, (action to reduce) violence against women and girls, and other supports.� It did not, however, include a recommendation for a national public inquiry. While the report’s 16 recommendations are a step in the right direction, Lehal a national inquiry could help in better understanding the factors which lead to a disproportionately high number of indigenous women and girls being missing or murdered. By thoroughly examining the causes and underlying issues, more effective and stronger steps could be taken to deal with the matter. Witnesses in the special committee’s “Invisible Women: A Call to Action� report felt that a national inquiry would allow “victims’ friends and family to be heard,� as well as increase awareness about the violence facing aboriginal women. Ultimately, they felt that an inquiry would help create a “national action plan� with “benchmarks,� so that the problems facing aboriginal women could come to an end. Last year, David Langtry, acting chief commissioner of the Canadian Human Rights Com-
youth voice
mission, stated that: “The murder or disappearance of some 600 Aboriginal women and girls over the past 30 years is a national tragedy‌ We must get to the root causes of these disturbing facts.â€? Thousands of people from across the country, in addition to human rights organizations, opposition political parties and the Native Women’s Association of Canada and Assembly of First Nations, are calling for a national inquiry. In 2013, premiers from across Canada and a UN Special Rapporteur supported a national inquiry as well. In the wake of the tragic death of Loretta Saunders and the hundreds of other indigenous women that have been murdered or are missing, it is important that we all support a national inquiry. As Canadians who believe in justice and human rights, it is imperative that we take all steps necessary to prevent any more such tragedies from happening. The federal government rightly states that “actionâ€? needs to be taken on the matter, but full and proper action can only be taken if all voices are heard and a thorough inquiry is conducted. Japreet Lehal, a student at Simon Fraser University Surrey, writes monthly for Peace Arch News.

Now repaired, Tattoo’s journey to be made into children’s book
Vandalized horse sculpture returns to park Brenda Anderson Black Press
What began last summer as a disturbing and senseless act of destruction is looking more and more like a tale with a happy ending. The beheading and dismemberment of a fibreglass horse sculpture in Langley last July outraged many in the community, when someone took a saw to the work of public art shortly after it was placed in a Brookswood park. The $10,000 sculpture – part of the Horsing Around Langley initiative – had been painted in swirls of silver, blue, black and green and dubbed “Tattoo.”
But no sooner had Tattoo been fixed in place at the park at 200 Street and 40 Avenue than someone destroyed the fiberglass sculpture, cutting it off at the hooves and removing its head. The artist, South Surrey’s Marilyn Dyer, said at the time that her disappointment was for the community at large, and not for herself, because she had taken great joy in the creative process, but park users – children in particular – had been cheated out of their enjoyment of the public artwork. After being told of the damage, Dyer, 81, and her grandchildren visited the park and searched the area for anything that had been
missed when the larger pieces were collected and taken to a fibreglass specialist at an autobody shop. “We put it all back together,” said Dyer. With its legs bound and head reattached, the life-sized sculpture is back in its place in the park – albeit a little worse for wear. “It’s got its scars and bumps,” said the artist. “But that’s Tattoo’s journey. That’s his chapter in life – like all of us. “It’s a really wonderful thing to be part of.” Now the sculpture’s story is the subject of a children’s book. Titled Tattoo, the Painted Horse, the volume, aimed at children aged
five to 11, is expected to be released during Brookswood Days in June. It was written by Summerland author Ruthie Charles, and looks at the incident from the sculpture’s viewpoint, explained Dyer. “It tells his story – he is resurrected at the end.” Charles was in Langley visiting family when she heard about the act of vandalism, explained Dyer. The story touched her and she decided it needed to be committed to print. Dyer, meanwhile, is working on the drawings that will accompany the text. Boaz Joseph photo Among the vibrant images, which Marilyn Dyer has put her painted are drawn in coloured pencil, is one that depicts the sculpture with horse sculpture back together.

Filmmaker has plenty of family support i from page 21 for her efforts is the fact that they cater Mexican cuisine for LuchaGore shoots, which necessarily take place in a world of sub-low-budget filmmaking where most crew and cast participation is for credits and ‘deferred’ remuneration. “Even if we can’t pay people, we can make sure we feed them very, very well,” she said, adding that participants always seem to enjoy being part of the violent makebelieve. Her family emigrated to Canada when she was 13, she said, and she enrolled at Earl Marriott shortly after she arrived. “I always had a fascination with film,” she said. “I was studying animated movies a lot because I wanted to be a cartoonist/animator, and I realized in high school that I love theatre and acting – particularly anything funny. “But I never thought that (live action) film would be something I wanted to do, even though I appeared in a little commercial when we first came to Canada.

Her interest in animation, which now manifests itself in thorough storyboarding of scenes. “Through animation I always had an obsession of seeing mistakes on film – even little errors in Disney movies like Bambi and Cinderella.” Nowadays, her inspirations are filmmakers like James Wan, Rob Zombie, Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. But she laughs when she remembers nagging her parents to take her to the theatrical re-release of The Exorcist in 2000 – at that point the scariest things she’d ever seen were television screenings of The Fly and E.T. “They said ‘OK, you want to get scared so much, we’ll take you.’ I was 10, and I was stoked – I finally get to see a horror film. “It was the most traumatizing thing I’d ever seen in my life.” To see Guerrero’s work, visit www.luchagoreproductions.com
Q
uestion: My wife died and I needed some help around my place so I hired a housekeeper to keep my place clean and to cook some meals. We got along really well and she became fond of me so I suggested that she could stay at my place for free but she wouldn’t charge me for her work. We started going on trips together and sleeping together. This has been going on for nearly ten years and I have become increasingly dependent on her because of my bad health. I don’t have a will so I know she doesn’t have a claim against my estate under the Wills Variation Act. This suits me because I want all my estate to go to my three children. I’m right aren’t I?

Hypnosis for great cause Peninsula-based professional entertainer Scott Christie – whose tag is “The Impossible Hypnotist” – promises to keep The Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240 “jumping with fun, laughter and definite foolishness” tonight (Thursday) starting at 6 p.m. But the evening has a worthy cause beyond entertainment – raising money for the hot lunch program for Sources’ South Surrey/White Rock Women’s Place,
which provides lunches for women and children in need. “As I live in the community, I’m excited to give back by donating my comedy hypnosis show for Women’s Place,” Christie said. The event offers a pulled pork sandwich, a choice of wine or beer, Christie’s show, door prizes and post-show dancing for $25. To purchase tickets call the South SurreyWhite Rock Chamber of Commerce at 604-5366844 (ext. 201).
Horse repaired i from page 21 a garland of flowers around its neck and surrounded by playful children – as the artist intended Tattoo to be. Because there is an educational component to the story, Dyer would like to see the book stocked in schools and libraries. “It think we have a good opportunity here. I’m willing to do my bit, and Ruthie has too.” At the time the horse was destroyed, Dyer wondered publicly why anyone would want to commit such a random act of destruction. “It seems that there are people who just can’t accept that there is something nice in their community.”
In many ways, the horse sculpture’s destruction parallels the experience of being bullied, said the artist. “It was screwed down, it was mute and vulnerable. “For me, it’s a lesson for life – we have to watch out for the vulnerable. Bullies come in the night, and the horse couldn’t run.” Ella Little – owner of Ella’s, a clothing boutique which is located across 200 Street from the park – said she never had a moment’s doubt that the sculpture would be repaired and returned to the park.. “I have great faith in the community that it’s not going to happen again,” she said.

Valley West bows out of major-midget post-season in semifinals
Hawks’ season ends with loss to Rockets Rick Kupchuk Black Press
In a series in which they outscored the opposition over three games, all of which were played away from home, the Valley West Hawks’ season came to an end. The BC Hockey Major Midget League team lost 2-1 in a best-of-three semifinal series in Kelowna to the Okanagan Rockets over the weekend. The Rockets won the first and third games by 5-4 and 7-6 margins, while the Hawks doubled Okanagan 6-3 Saturday afternoon. The Hawks outscored Okanagan 16-15 over 180 minutes of hockey, but it was the 15th goal of the weekend by the Rockets that proved to be the difference. A penalty shot was awarded in the third game with 4:34 to play, and Okanagan converted the scoring opportunity to break a 6-6 tie with the series-clinching goal. After falling behind 4-0 in the first period, the Hawks slowly worked their way

The Earl Marriott Mariners’ rugby team (in green and orange) hosted their crosstown rivals from Elgin Park last week, kicking off the senior boys AAA rugby season.
Boys’ rugby sides hit the pitch With the weather slowly turning spring-like, so too are the sports being played around the Semiahmoo Peninsula. Last week, a pair of South Surrey rivals – the Elgin Park Orcas and Earl Marriott Mariners opened the senior boys rugby season with a spirited tilt at Earl Marriott. The home side, who’ve been among the province’s best since 2010 – they finished fourth in B.C. last season, and have placed in the top-five at provincials three of the last five years – controlled much of the play in the game, especially in the first half when
they jumped out to an early lead. Nick Wright led the Marriott charge with three tries. Last weekend, the Mariners headed south on a spring-break tour of California, where they were set to play a handful of exhibition tilts against U.S. competition. When the schedule resumes later this month, all three South Surrey teams will begin their push towards provincials. In addition to Marriott’s fourthplace showing at the 2013 AAA provincials, Semiahmoo placed ninth and Elgin 15th.
quick tallies to go up 6-3 midway through the game. Newsome with his second of the game and Bradley in the last minute of the second period pulled Valley West to within one at 6-5. Bradley then scored his fourth of the contest with eight minutes left to tie the score. Davis Koch of White Rock had three assists in the game, with Langley’s Eric Callegari collecting two helpers. The Rockets jumped out to an early twogoal lead in the first game Friday night, but two goals from Paul Smith and one from Matt Barberis (both from White Rock) in the second period had Valley West in front 3-2 after 40 minutes. The Rockets then struck for three goals in a span of 97 seconds midway through the third period for a 5-3 lead. Koch got one back of Valley West in the final minute of play. In Saturday’s second game, it was Valley West racing to the early lead, with Barberis, i see page 26

Bradley gets call i from page 25 Surrey’s Trevor Ayre and Bradley lifting the visitors to a 3-0 lead before the game was 10 minutes old. The Rockets clawed their way back into the game with a goal late in the first period and another midway through the second. But Callegari, Newsome and Bradley scored in the third period to put the game out of reach. The Valley West team, which draws 15-17-year-old players from the Semiahmoo, Langley, Surrey and Cloverdale minor hockey associations, had its best-ever season in 2013-14. Only once before had the team reached the semifinal round, losing in straight games to the Cariboo Cougars in 2010-11. In the regular season, their 27-11-2 (won-lost-tied) record set a club record for wins, and matched previous bests with 56 points and a third place finish. In the Hawks’ quarter-final playoff round two weekends

ago, they swept Prince George’s Cariboo Cougars in a best-ofthree series in Langley.
Heading east Three local high school rugby players are among a dozen from across the province who will head to Hong Kong with Team BC on March 23. Making the cut with the provincial
under-18 boys sevens team are Joseph Carter (Lord Tweedsmuir), Matt Gallagher (Semiahmoo), and Cali Martinez (Earl Marriott). Players were selected from the three B.C. teams that competed at the Las Vegas Sevens event earlier this year.
Called up Though his majormidget season is over, Hawks’ sniper Matt Bradley is not storing his gear away just yet. The Semiahmoo Minor Hockey Association product was recalled Monday by the Medicine Hat Tigers of the Western Hockey League. The call-up continues what has been a stellar season for the 17-year-old left winger. Bradley finished fourth in BCMML regularseason scoring with 39 goals and 71 points in 37 games, and he added 13 points in five playoff games. He also played saw action at the Junior ‘A’ level, suiting up for eight games with the hometown Surrey Eagles as an affiliate player. Bradley was a secondround pick of the Tigers in the Western Hockey League’s 2012 bantam draft.

Attending the camp from the Langley junior football team – which formerly called South Surrey home – will be offensive lineman Anthony Daley, defensive lineman Evan Foster, running back Nathan Lund, wide receiver Malcolm Williams and kicker Steve Thomas. Daley and Foster are both coming off all-Canadian seasons, the second straight year they earned the distinction. Daley still has two years of junior eligibility, while Foster has graduated. Williams earned a league allstar award for the second straight year and still has two seasons of eligibility. Thomas also made the all-star team for his position after going 15-for-21 on field goal attempts. Lund was first in the league with a 10.6 average yards per rush.

Ford on a roll
ord has been on a roll here in Canada; finishing out 2013 as the top selling brand for the fourth consecutive year. There are some very big products coming from Ford over the coming year that will make a big impact on its sales and image, and you will get a peek at some of them at the Vancouver International Auto Show. The first is the biggest introduction of any automaker this year, the all-new 2015 Ford F-150 full-size pickup The F-150 isn’t just truck. The F-150 isn’t the best selling the best selling truck in just truck in Canada for Canada for almost 50 almost 50 years; it is yeards; it is the overall the overall sales champ, selling more than sales champ, selling any other nameplate. Period. more than any other Ford isn’t merely nameplate. Period. introducing an updated model. No, they went Zack Spencer to town, developing a entirely new manufacturing process that will revolutionize the full-size truck space. The body of the next F-150 is built of an aluminum alloy material that Ford claims is 318 kg lighter but stronger than the outgoing model. In addition, the frame is made of thinner, lighter and stronger high-tensile steel that, combined with the body, produces the weight savings. This is an industry first, and a revolutionary approach to building trucks. In addition to a lighter body, the engineers have developed two new engines to complement the existing 3.5L EcoBoost turbocharged V6 model and 5.0L normally aspirated V8 engine. The first is a new 3.5L V6 engine, replacing the outgoing 3.7L model base engine. With a lighter truck, a smaller engine can do the work. A smaller 2.7L turbocharged EcoBoost V6 is also going to be introduced with an auto start-stop function that switches off the engine when the truck is sitting still. Official fuel-economy ratings have not been released but Ford executives tell me they hope to have best-in-class gasoline fuel economy. The rear tailgate also has a soft-open feature that prevents the tailgate from slamming down, plus a light switch near the back of the truck to illuminate the bed with new LED lights. › see page 34

he model year 2014 is already in full swing for Chevrolet as it rolls its products into the Vancouver International Auto Show. Many of the new and revamped products are already in dealerships so let’s take a look at what’s especially notable for this year.
T
The 2013 model year brought forth an all-new Malibu. Not much has changed for 2014, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t get a few enhancements. For example, there’s now a fuel-saving start-stop technology added to the standard model, rear knee room improved by 1.25 inches (31.7 mm) and chassis and suspension developments enhance drive experience. That’s on top of the overhauled Malibu, on the inside and out.
Impala
Chevrolet’s flagship sedan
The popular selling compact from Chevrolet, the Cruze, now comes in an even more efficient setup: the Cruze Diesel. While the diesel model was launched last summer, it bears a 2014 designation. Under its hood is a 2.0L turbo-diesel that packs in 151 horsepower and 264 pound feet of torque. Yes, it has that much torque and is most impressive. According to the Chevrolet, it has a 0-96 km/h (60 mph) performance of 8.6 seconds, “which is better than the Volkswagen Jetta TDI automatic and competitive with German diesel cars that dominate the North American market.” In addition to that, it receives an estimated fuel consumption of 4.2L/100km on the highway and 7.5L/100km in the city. While the Cruze Diesel had already been available in Europe, the proven engine needed to be adapted to North American emissions ratings. It comes standard with a six-speed automatic transmission and 376.6L trunk space. It has an MSRP of $24,945 plus $1,550 destination freight charge.

Z/28 redefines high-performance › from page 32
rated at 182 hp.
The 2014 Impala is offered with three engine choices, including two four-cylinder powertrains and a 3.6L V6. Output for the 3.6L V6 is rated at 305 horsepower and 264 lb.-ft. of torque. That is the highest horsepower output in the segment, from a naturally-aspirated V6 engine. The Ecotec 2.5L is part of a new family of four-cylinder engines developed with increased efficiency and greater refinement. It is rated at 196 hp. and 186 lb.-ft. of torque. The Impala’s Ecotec 2.4L engine with eAssist provides electrical assist in certain conditions to help save fuel. It is
Camaro Z/28 For those diehard track day fans who have been waiting for an even more performanceinspired Camaro, the wait is over. Almost. For 2014, the Z/28 has returned – faster than ever before. All 2014 Camaro models feature a revised exterior design that integrates highperformance aerodynamics for more efficient cooling and stability at high speeds. However, the new Camaro Z/28 adds features like a full aerodynamics package that creates downforce at speed, which helps make it the most
track-capable offering in Camaro’s history. Alongside its aerodynamic prowess, under its hood is a mechanical wonder. Its 7.0L, LS7 V8 hand-assembled engine was co-developed with Corvette Racing to make it as potent as possible. Its monster engine produces an estimated 500 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque. With those figures on paper, don’t expect amazing fuel results! And just like it takes an experienced driver to put it through its paces, your bank account will most likely need to be seasoned, too! It has an MSRP of $77,400. If you get to the show, all the GM brands, including Chevrolet, are well-represented.

2015 Ford Mustang
Mustang adds muscle in 2015 › from page 31 The second vehicle that will have a big impact for Ford, but as more of an image car, is the all-new 2015 Mustang. Interestingly, about 25 per cent of all Mustangs are sold here in British Columbia, so this is a big deal for us. The 2015 Mustang is now going to be sold around the world and developed as part of the “One Ford” approach to making cars they can share in every market. This means the Mustang will be sold, for the first time, with right-hand drive for countries like the UK, Australia and Japan. The stance of the new Mustang is lower, wider and more muscular, with the wheels pushed out to provide better stability. The
fastback has a steeper rake and a bigger trapezoidal grille has enhanced the shark-nose design. Initially, the Mustang will be sold as a coupe and convertible with the base and GT trim, the higher performance models will come later. Inside is another clean-sheet design, featuring real aluminum switches and dials, with two large gauges behind the steering wheel. The interior looks more upscale than any Mustang before. Under the hood, the GT trim continues with the 5.0L V8 with improved valves and cylinders helping to pump out over 420 horsepower. The base 3.7L V6 is also carried over, but now with 300 hp. The big news is the introduction of a 2.3L turbocharged EcoBoost 4-cylinder
My next vehicle came from a used car wholesaler*. There was nothing wrong with it, but he couldn’t find a dealer who wanted it. I gladly took it off his hands. How hip was I? I had a new source of newer vehicles that would come right to me. “Two-year-old car for sale. No previous accident history reported, only 35,000km on it. Call with offer.” Shortly after, I got a call from a young man. His car had just broken down, and he needed a new one fast. He agreed to meet me at the local construction site where he worked. He was just finishing up his lunch when I arrived. He was wearing his construction uniform and I immediately noticed his tired eyes. I felt bad for the poor fellow, and I was glad that I was selling him a reliable vehicle. He didn’t need another headache on top of everything. I even knocked $500 off the price I wanted. It was a smooth ed d happy h and transaction. The guyy looke looked ely forr all the help. I thanked me immensely beamed back at him. Around 5:00 a.m. the next morning, I got a ructio on worker, yelling so call. It was the construction ely understand u loudly that I could barely him. ” he said over and over “THEY TOOK IT AWAY,” !” again. “REPOSSESSED!” d to make sense of I hung up on him and tried ld th he car be taken the situation. Why would the he night? n Who’s away in the middle of the “they”? ad a lien on it. Liens. Of course. The car ha had ell on a lot.

a lien on it? I realized the wholesaler* had scammed me! If that fellow had asked for a CarProof history report or even a provincial lien search, I’d be the one screaming. Over the next several hours, I kept letting my phone go to voicemail – I couldn’t bear speaking to the young man. I knew I had to switch phones again. I felt a bit ashamed. But I needed to be selfish about this. At this point, the best thing for me was cash. And lots of it.
*Wholesaler – Vehicle sellers may call themselves auto brokers or wholesalers to sound legitimate and cheaper. But if they’re selling to private buyers, they must be licensed as a dealer. Like any curber - an individual posing as a private seller but selling vehicles as a business – wholesalers and brokers offer none of the protection the law provides for purchases from a Vehicle Sales Authority licensed dealer. Walt learned that lesson, sson, but his buyer paid the price.
“They took it away,” he said over and over gain. “REPOSSESSED!” again.
with an estimated 300hp and 300 lb.-ft. of torque. For years, the criticism has been the lack of independent rear suspension in the Mustang but this is no longer the case. A fully independent rear suspension will help get all the power down to the ground from all three engines, plus provide improved handling. Ford is hoping with this new platform and available engines, this new model will provide as many thrills as any German sports model and for less money. Pricing has not been finalized but expect it to be in line with existing 2014 Mustang pricing. Ford is doing well here in Canada and with all-new products; it will have a good chance of staying number one. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Truck revolution reflects shift in consumer needs
Y
ears ago, we would see a pickup truck at an Auto Show (a rare find) and think this would be perfect on the farm; it has a bench seat that would fit all three of us! My how things have changed. Stepping into a pickup today is like stepping into a luxury home with even more technology. Trucks are now outselling cars, so manufacturers must keep looking for innovative designs to entice the consumer into selecting their vehicle over the competition. There are many trucks on the road today but let’s look at the three domestic brands, all of which will be represented at the Vancouver International Auto Show. Ram introduced the EcoDiesel V6 engine in its 2014 1500 model and the consumer frenzy Stepping into a was on. A half-ton pickup with 420 lb.-ft. pickup today is like of torque and 4182 kg stepping into a luxury (9200 lb.) max towing home, with even more capabilities, great! Better fuel economy; where do technology. I sign? Ford announces the Ian Harwood 2015 F-150 with an aluminum body and a completely new design. This has Ford customers holding off on their new purchase until this comes out, which I do not think was Ford’s intention. GM changes not only the design of its Chevy Silverado, but much of its drivetrain. So much so, that it was named North American Truck of the year. Consumers are demanding these changes. They want better fuel economy but still as much towing capacity. They want more comfort, while maintaining a practical interior. They want comfortable suspension but still with off-road performance capability, if necessary. Manufacturers have to consider all this when designing a new truck. They set up focus groups all around the country asking how they can improve and what features consumers want in a truck. So what’s driving sales? What do pickups have over cars and why are they so popular? Versatility. You can transport large items, haul your favorite ‘toy’, take your family in comfort to the cabin, get out and play in the mud. I am not saying you can’t do this in a car but with a truck there are no limitations and that’s what intrigues people into this type of vehicle. You can do so much more with a truck. The
truck is just the beginning; the customization then begins. Research shows that on average a truck owner spends between $5,000 and $7,000 in aftermarket accessories within the first six months of ownership. Truck owners want to personalize their vehicles for practical reasons and some artistic reasons, but rest assured, if you can dream it, there is somebody out there building it. Ten years ago, I would have said things are slowing down and there might be a change coming, but it didn’t happen and things picked up and it keeps picking up. I now think it will continue and in another 10 years, we will see even more choices, enabling us to take the time to enjoy life on and off road. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

Clay Construction was recently named Custom Home Builder of the Year at the Georgie Awards, which recognize the best in B.C.’s residential construction industry.
Clay Construction named Best Custom Home Builder in B.C. By Kerry Vital
Clay Construction was recently announced the winner of the Grand Georgie Award for Custom Home Builder of the Year, recognizing their exceptional home-building and commitment to their business. The
awards are handed out by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of B.C., and honour the best in B.C.’s residential construction industry. “We are highly honoured to win this prestigious award,” says owner Larry Clay. “We’re proud to be a Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association member, and we believe that our client-centred approach allows us to focus on what is important to our customers.” In a competitive and sophisticated marketplace, Clay Construction looks for ways to distinguish themselves. Their clients are successful business owners and leaders in their respective fields who demand the best. The Clay Construction team’s goal is to successfully fulfill their clients’ expectations,
which involve clear communication, agreed-upon expectations, and consistent weekly reports. “Knowing where the project is financially at all times is crucial.” says Clay. “Clay Construction is founded on the principles of integrity, professionalism, quality, and transparency.” As part of their commitment to customer service, Clay and his team implement building practices that few custom home builders emulate. A detailed catalogue of pictures, moisture checks of the framing, and a detailed warranty binder are just three of the thirty items noted on their website where Clay Construction is unrivaled. They’re proud to share important practices on building a better home that will out-perform others.
“Every build has its own unique challenges,” says Clay. Their projects have included: large luxury estate homes on acreages, house and laneways built concurrently in re-emerging Vancouver neighbourhoods, a wheelchairaccessible R2000 house, and a split-lot project resulting in a couple of narrow homes with astonishing spaciousness. Furthermore, they have completed a wide spectrum of architecturally diverse homes from modern to Craftsman. Give them a set of plans and they will bring the home to life. Additionally, they will provide a detailed budget, scope and specifications before they move one stone. They believe that quality and peace of mind is something you should be able to depend on! Clients are guaranteed a homebuilding experience that is collaborative and enjoyable; something that Clay prides himself on. “I love what I do, and I love knowing my company is an award-winning leader in the industry,” he says. For more information, visit their website at www.clayconstruction.ca.

Higgins Boys Local Knowledge is Priceless!
Born and raised in White Rock, the Higgins boys are deeply entrenched on the Semiahmoo Peninsula with family roots going back over 85 years. "In 1927 our great-grandfather Charles Davey opened the first fish and chip shop on what is now Marine Drive. He also built the Evergreen Ballroom, as well as many homes and commercial buildings in the area, many of which are still standing today," says Neil Higgins. "In the 1940s and 50s our grandfather Jack Carle owned and operated White Rock Motors," Neil continued. "It was White Rock's first Dodge Desoto Chrysler dealership. He also started and sponsored a successful men's fast pitch team." "We grew up here," says Neil's brother Scott Higgins. "We have a deep appreciation for all the area has to offer: the schools, the beaches, local parks and sporting facilities where we spent so many hours as young men."
"Our local knowledge is extensive, deep and priceless!" Neil and Scott each have over 25 years successful sales and marketing experience. "First and foremost is 100 per cent client satisfaction," the Higgins brothers agree. "We have been fortunate to work with our many past neighbours, friends, old classmates and family, as well as helping people from other areas relocate to beautiful White Rock and South Surrey." Neil has been a licensed realtor for over 10 years with 200 successful transations to his credit. Scott, in addition to being a licensed realtor, is also a successful real estate investor and a licensed property manager. "We put the client first," say the brothers Higgins. "That's the key to building long-term relationships and helping people achieve their real estate goals."

Thomas Alvin (Al) McMillan, aged 97 years, died on Monday, March 17, 2014. Al was born on August 21, 1926 at Mather, Manitoba and attended Howard School. His love of music was demonstrated at an early age when he played violin in Mather Sunday School Orchestra. Al moved to Fort William, Ontario in the 1930’s and married Dorothy Wyatt in 1939. During the war years, he worked at Canada Car and N.R. Wilson Motors. He owned and operated gas stations, and later, McMillan’s Tire Centre on Syndicate Avenue in Fort William. Following the death of his wife, Dorothy, Al married Elizabeth Leckie in 1968 and moved to Toronto, working as a salesman for James Morton Company. Later, he moved to Vancouver, becoming the proprietor of an industrial tool business, ELMac Pacific Distributors. Throughout his life, Al was active in Shriners, establishing the Lakehead Motor Patrol in Thunder Bay. Later, he enjoyed being a musician in the Gizeh Temple Oriental Band in Vancouver. Al was privileged to be a Life Member of both the Masons and the Shriners. Al is survived by his daughter Maureen Hansen; son-in-law Tor; brother Bryon; sister-in-law Olga, and many nieces and nephews and their families across Canada. The family would like to thank the staff at the Residence at Morgan Heights in Surrey, BC and particularly, his special caregiver, Patty Jubenvill, for their attentive support. A Visitation for Al will be held on Friday, March 21, 2014 at 10:00 am, followed by a Funeral Service at 11:00 am at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre, 14831 - 28th Ave, Surrey, BC.

Robinson, Larry Gordon 1949 - 2014 With the greatest sadness, the family announces the passing of Councillor Larry Robinson on March 15th, 2014 at Peace Arch Hospital. He passed away peacefully with his family by his side after a very courageous battle with cancer. He was a truly wonderful man, a kind and loving Husband, Father, Brother, Son, Grandfather and Step Dad and uncle. Larry was loved and respected by all who knew him. Larry was born in Regina on Feb. 9th, 1949. He was a brilliant scholar, a very talented artist, mentor, fitness instructor and health enthusiast who was often seen pole walking the hills and kayaking on our water front. He was a friend to so many. Larry worked for Air Canada in Regina and Vancouver and was indispensable in the Legal department after many years on the ramp. He will also be sadly missed by his Homelife Benchmark family. Larry loved White Rock and became a valued and respected White Rock City Councillor three years ago and loved the challenges that brought and the friendship of his peers. He was dedicated and brought professionalism to all he did. Left to mourn are his wife, Ann, his mother Margaret, father Gordon, sons Aaron (Lise), Jesse, his brothers, Garry (Ann) and Ron (Lynda) his adored grandaughter Amelia, nephews and his niece, Heather. He had so many friends here and in Regina and will be sadly missed by all who were lucky enough to have known him, including his friends at his favourite coffee shop. A celebration of life will be held at White Rock Community Centre on Monday, March 24th between 1 and 3 p.m. All are welcome.
