She began dialing as soon as the phone lines opened at 5 p.m. on Jan. 15. In fact, Erin McCall and her friend were hitting redial on three separate phones – a land line and two cellphones – simultaneously, hoping someone on the other end of the Surrey School District’s “telephone lottery” for French immersion (FI) registration would pick up. Having graduated from a French-immersion program herself, there was no doubt McCall wanted her daughter, Elle, to start kindergarten in the specialized language program this fall. “Why not?” she said, when asked why she wanted Elle in FI. “If your child has the chance to learn one of Canada’s other official languages, why wouldn’t you do it? It’s a great benefit in terms of the job market; the learning outcomes studies have shown math and sciences are a lot stronger for kids in French immersion. Why not give them that extra advantage?” Finally, after 40 minutes on the phone and more than 800 dial attempts, instead of the usual busy signal, one of the phones connected. McCall was then on hold another 20 minutes and when someone answered, she was No. 192 in line. Like everyone before and after her, she was asked to give her first and second choice of the six Surrey elementary schools that offer early (kindergarten or Grade 1) French immersion. She gave her picks – Laronde Elementary and Peace Arch Elementary – but Elle didn’t get into either. (Callers don’t have the opportunity to give a third choice.) Elle currently stands 12th on

South Surrey parent Erin McCall is encouraging other parents to speak out after she wasn’t able to secure a kindergarten spot in French immersion for her daughter, Elle, this fall. the wait list at Laronde, and 18th at Peace Arch. McCall has been told chances are slim her daughter will make her way to the top of either list. “It’s frustrating,” says the mom of two. “It’s really not a lottery at all, because a lot of parents have these telephone parties where they can stack the deck, and the more people you know with cellphones, the more calls you can make.”

The fight for French-immersion spaces is not a new problem or one that’s particularly unique to Surrey. In many districts, just as it used to be in Surrey, parents are still forced to camp out overnight in hopes of securing a Frenchimmersion space. McCall says at least with that system, you know exactly where you stand. Here, she’s had to call the individual schools to know where

her daughter is on the wait lists. There are currently about 3,300 students in French immersion in Surrey – about five per cent of the district’s total enrolment.

A four-day preliminary hearing into the case against a man accused of being the “surgical mask bandit” began Tuesday in Surrey Provincial Court. Travis Jensen-Pickford, 23, appeared before Justice Peder Gulbransen, accompanied by defense counsel Nathaniel Hartney, as Crown counsel Jennifer Lopes began a robbery-by-robbery review of the case with a police witness who co-ordinated the investigation. A ban on publication prevents evidence heard during the hearing from being reported. Jensen-Pickford, who was arrested on June 15 last year, faces 36 charges in connection with 12 robberies in White Rock and Surrey in early 2013, in which victims were accosted, while making transactions at ATMs during non-banking hours, by a man wearing a surgical mask. All but two of the robberies (one in Newton and the other near 186 Street and Fraser Highway) took place on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. The accused, his short, light brown hair and beard neatly trimmed, and wearing a black suit, white shirt, dark blue tie and black trainers, sat impassively with hands folded in front of him during the hearing. Jensen-Pickford, who elected last July to be tried by a Supreme Court judge and jury, is currently out of custody, on a $15,000 surety bail. The hearing is scheduled to continue until April 11, after which a date for trial is to be set.

Accused arrested in Newton last week after driver suffers broken nose, impaired vision

Surrey man charged in bus-driver attack Metro Vancouver Transit Police have charged a 25-year-old Surrey man in connection to an attack on a Coast Mountain Bus driver late last month. At approximately 8 p.m. on March 26, the 341 bus to Guildford picked up a man and woman on 72 Avenue at 132 Street. Within minutes, the man punched the operator in the face before jumping off the bus, according to witnesses.

Officials say the bus was travelling at approximately 30 km/h and pulling into the left-turn lane at 144 Street at the time of the assault. Despite having received a severe blow to the face – which caused a broken nose and broken facial bones, profuse bleeding and impaired vision – the operator brought the bus to a stop and opened the doors to allow the attacker to leave. Metro Vancouver Transit Police Crime

Reduction Unit launched an investigation that – despite lack of onboard surveillance video footage, TransLink notes – led to the identification of a suspect, who was arrested on April 2 in Newton. Sean Tyler Quaye has been charged with driving while prohibited and assault causing bodily harm. Quaye is scheduled to make his next court appearance Friday in Surrey Provincial Court.

The bus operator is suffering from continuing vision impairment in one eye and loosened teeth. Investigators say that at the time of the attack, there were approximately 30 passengers on board the bus, but many left the area by the time police arrived. Passengers are asked to call Transit Police at 604-515-8300, regardless of whether they believe they have little evidence to offer.

Signed guitar stolen

Thunder struck by theft Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Thieves who targeted a Marine Drive restaurant Monday morning knew exactly what they wanted from the waterfront establishment – and none of it was on the menu. Charlie Don’t Surf owner John Carroll said the only thing nicked in the brazen crime was a collectible guitar autographed by Australian hard-rock legends Angus and Malcolm Young – of AC/DC fame – that has hung on the wall by the bar for nearly a decade. “It’s just mindboggling,” Carroll told Peace Arch News. “I thought of all the things in there, that would be the hardest to take.” Contibuted photo The culprits Gift from AC/DC. struck at about 6:30 a.m. April 7, somehow opening the restaurant’s door from the outside. Carroll suspects a crowbar was used to pry the Plexiglas-encased Gibson Les Paul off the wall. He described the brothers’ gift of the instrument as “a beautiful gesture” that was made during one of their visits to the restaurant. They come out every time the band records in Vancouver, Carroll said. He said the guitar was one of the most popular pieces of decor in the restaurant – “the most photographed thing we had in the place.” Carroll is hopeful the uniqueness of the autographs and the handdrawn AC/DC logo on the guitar will help police track it down, along with those who took it. “There’s quite a value to it,” he added. Police are reviewing surveillance-camera footage from the restaurant as part of their investigation.

Surrey Six trial hears from former Red Scorpion leader

‘They saw our faces, we had no choice’ Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Former Red Scorpion gang leader Michael Le said he had just finished test-driving luxury cars on Oct. 19, 2007 when he received a panicked call from fellow gangster Matthew Johnston, who said he needed to meet him urgently. The pair met at a shopping plaza where Johnston revealed that the murder of a rival drug dealer in Surrey did not go as planned. “Mike, I’m sorry, but we killed Eddie,” Le said Johnston told him, referring to Eddie Narong, a friend of Le’s since middle school. Le – who struck a plea deal in November and admitted to his role in the Surrey Six murders – began testifying against his two former coaccused on Tuesday in B.C. Supreme Court. Cody Haevischer and Johnston are currently on trial, each facing six counts of first-degree murder in connection with the execution-style shooting of six men in a Surrey apartment building on Oct. 19, 2007. Le said Johnston went on to tell him that Narong showed up at the apartment where a hit was planned on Corey Lal. Not only were Narong and Lal killed, Le said Johnston told him, but four other men as well: Lal’s brother Michael, Ryan Bartolomeo and two bystanders

– repairman Ed Schellenberg and student Chris Mohan, who lived in a neighbouring suite. “You’re an idiot. Why did you kill so many people?” Le said he asked Johnston. Johnston, he said, replied: “Mike, they saw our faces, we had no choice.” Le, now 29, was originally charged with firstdegree murder and conspiracy, but pleaded guilty to only the conspiracy charge late last year. He received a 12-year jail sentence, minus double credit for the 4½ years he’d already served, leaving about three years remaining. The media was banned from reporting details of his plan to work with Crown and testify against Haevischer and Johnston, until Monday when B.C. Supreme Court Justice Catherine Wedge set aside the publication ban. Publication of Le’s image or description of him are still banned. Le testified Tuesday that days after talking to Johnston, he also met with Haevischer. He said the two communicated using an erasable white board – something the gangsters often used in case their conversations were being recorded. “He wrote down ‘six people got killed,’” Le told the court, adding Haevischer indicated he had shot three and another gangster (Person X, who pleaded guilty in 2009 and cannot be

named) shot the other three victims. Earlier in the day, Le testified Corey Lal became a target due to an ongoing dispute with Jamie Bacon, the other leader of the Red Scorpions. Bacon’s crew had merged with Le’s earlier in 2007. Talk about friction between the two began shortly after the merger, Le said, noting Lal was partners with Narong in the drug trade. They got their heroin from Sophon Sek, (also charged in connection with the Surrey Six case but being tried separately), said Le. Because of his friendship with Narong, Le said he met with Lal to attempt to iron out the issues, but the problems persisted. “He’s a little bitch, I’m going to jack him,” Le said Bacon told him. The Crown’s theory is that while Lal was the intended target, the five others were killed to eliminate witnesses. It’s alleged Bacon (along with Le) enlisted Haevischer, Johnston and Person X to carry out the hit. During his November guilty plea, Le admitted he gave the go-ahead for Lal’s murder, but never intended for the other five to be killed. Bacon is charged with one count of firstdegree murder and one of conspiracy to murder Lal, but is being tried separately at a later date. The trial continues.

Shortage of both space, teachers i from page 1 McCall agrees, and argues that not only should the registration system be more transparent, but Surrey should shift resources to accommodate parent choice. “We’re not asking for extra space or extra resources,” she says. “These kids are going to get resources whether they’re in English track or French, it’s just a matter of accommodating, and so far nothing is being done.” But Shawn Wilson, chair of the Surrey Board of Education, says it’s not as simple as it sounds because of the district’s rapid growth. One of the two biggest issues to expanding FI is school space, he says, as the majority of the district’s schools are already busting at the seams. “If you’ve got a school in a catchment area and it’s overcapacity with portables, how do you make spaces available for French immersion when you’re required to ensure kids in the catchment area get a space? “It starts to cause real problems and concerns for people who don’t want to be part of French immersion and wonder why you put a choice program in a school that’s already overcrowded.” There are six earlyFI locations (Riverdale, Simon Cunningham, Martha Currie, Laronde, Peace Arch and Woodward Hill elementaries), five late-entry (Grade 6) schools (K.B. Woodward, Sunrise Ridge, Crescent Park, Henry Bose and Jessie Lee) and four secondary programs (Kwantlen Park, Lord Tweedsmuir, Earl Marriott and Panorama Ridge). “Whenever we can, we make French immersion

a priority,” says Wilson. The other significant problem, he says, is the shortage of qualified French-immersion teachers. “As it is, some days, we don’t have TOCs (substitutes) available to cover for French immersion teachers,” Wilson says, noting the district encourages new teachers to take French training. The board recently asked staff

to do a core review of its choice programs to examine how registration can be improved. But McCall, who isn’t sure where her daughter will be going to school in September, wants less analyzing and more action. “If you’re going to say ‘we can’t do anything’ or ‘we have to study this for a year’… That’s not an answer to me,” she said.

Semiahmoo Library wall provides energy savings

Living proof of sustainability Alex Browne Staff Reporter

The “living wall” on the Semiahmoo Library – featuring year-round foliage that changes according to the season – has proven effective, not only in providing energy savings, but also in demonstrating a path of esthetically-pleasing sustainability that is being copied in the private sector, said Surrey Coun. Bruce Hayne. Hayne, chair of Surrey’s Environmental Sustainability Advisory Committee, said the wall, installed just over three years ago, has demonstrated the concept can cut energy costs. “I think it’s done better as far as energy efficiency is concerned, speaking with the engineering department,” he said. “In the summertime, air conditioning costs have been reduced because the wall absorbs the heat – there have been more than $1,000 in savings annually, roughly speaking, in the electrical costs for air conditioning.” This has been offset by a rise in winter heating costs, he acknowledged. “In the wintertime, it’s had a little bit of the opposite effect, because the sunshine, too, is being absorbed by the wall. The heating bill has gone up, but because it’s gas heating, it’s only been about $500 – so we’re still

Semiahmoo Library’s living wall provides energy savings in summer. ahead.” From a beautification standpoint, it’s also been a successful experiment, Hayne said. “The community has responded to it very positively – so positively that we’ve added a living wall to the new city hall.” The concept is also being considered for other city buildings, including the new Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre, Hayne added. He noted that Guildford Town Centre’s renovation also includes living wall elements both inside and on an exterior overpass.

“So the private sector is taking notice,” he said. “While the annual energy savings on one building may not be a significant amount, when you multiply that over the entire city, it does have a significant impact,” he said. “It shows leadership in wanting to demonstrate sustainable ways of building and operating buildings,” he said, noting that – as a high source of CO2 emissions – buildings are second only to automobiles. “It shows we’re travelling in the right direction,” he said.

Safety net not assured

he old saying “charity begins at home” comes to mind with news this week that 31 seniors organizations in the Lower Mainland, currently funded by the United Way, are not having that funding renewed once current contracts expire. The United Way is quick to point out it’s customary for some of its grants not to be renewed, as part of ongoing reviews of resources and needs assessments, and that it’s actually doing more for seniors now, with the increasing ‘greying’ of our society, than ever before – even more than it does for children and families. The last United Way campaign raised some $27 million, down around $1 million from the year before – part of a steady annual decline since a high-water mark of more than $30 million in 2009. The current contracts, set to expire this year or next, represent $1.6 million for the organizations. While each of the contracts likely represents valuable services for our growing seniors population, the fact is that, in the current economy, it’s getting harder for organizations like the United Way to raise charitable donations, as ordinary people examine their own shrinking resources in the face of higher gas prices, food costs and utility fees. The kinds of organizations left out in the cold by the shortfall of charitable dollars provide temporary shelter for homeless seniors and reach out to isolated seniors to help keep them active and independent. Services affected include help for unattached seniors who struggle to get by on single-pension incomes, and those with chronic illnesses, disabilities and mobility challenges. None of these people are those to whom glib “get a job” arguments can be applied. At some point we have to recognize there are those less fortunate than ourselves, and that human compassion is not a function of blackand-white profit-and-loss statements. It’s on the shoulders of all of us, whether we’re private or corporate citizens, to give back to our elders – as we would hope to receive some help as we encounter frailties beyond our control. Given the prevailing economic climate, and the frequent reminders we receive that the public purse is as limited as our own, nobody’s holding their breath waiting for governments – whether local, provincial or federal – to step in and provide some kind of safety net for these seniors and their service providers.

A few words on how we learn Editor: It is reported that ESL classes are being cut as government funding falls short of demand. This was my experience with ESL (English as a second language) when my parents brought me to Canada in 1928, as a five-year-old – there was none. At age six, I was enrolled in Grade 1 in an English school without being able to speak a single word of English. After a period of six months, I was able to carry on a conversation with the other students, simply because I was surrounded all day by English children. As for my mother, she obtained employment in a dress factory. It took her more than a year, but she picked up the language from the employees around her. We would practise with each other and had lots of laughs. Now, I have no intention of running down the usefulness of ESL classes. They are a valuable tool in helping immigrants become part of our culture and language. I merely wish to point out that with hard work, people find ways to overcome difficulty and feel proud of what they have accomplished. When I look back, it seems to me that too much is expected nowadays. M. Downey, Surrey

heard – who dumped on columnist Tom Fletcher for daring to say a word against “environmentalists” (Green machine gathers here, not there, March 18 column). Stewart evidentially believes that every “environmentalist” is a noble knight whose mission is to save the world. That is akin to believing that every priest is a man of God who can thus be trusted with children. One of those noble environmentalists, Robert Kennedy Jr., who was in town last month to debate clean energy, once called anyone who was even a tad skeptical of the global-warming doctrine of Al Gore a “traitor.” But here comes the irony. There was a proposal for an offshore wind farm off Cape Cod and the Kennedy estate, although the turbines would only be visible as specks on the horizon. Kennedy fought that clean-energy proposal with exceptional ferocity as if it was a precursor of the end of the world. He thus represented that large group of self-proclaimed “environmentalists” who don’t walk-their-talk when it is ‘inconvenient’ to do so. David Poole, Surrey

Short-term gain, long-term loss Editor: Having spent my childhood in White Rock and area, I understand its draw of beauty and pleasure. It was always a great city to enjoy. At some point over the past few decades, the City of White Rock has become more to the likes of a tiger – nice from a distance, but you do not want to get too close. With issues like parking problems; bylaws interpreted unfairly; property and commercial taxes at their limit… I’m not sure who would really care to live in White Rock. Most disturbing is something that recently happened to me when I attended the arena for my son’s lacrosse. Of course, I came out to find I had been ticketed for violating the pay parking. I had in fact bought a ticket, however my son placed it on our steering console – but in view. Having proof of purchase in the form of paid tickets and credit card

statements, the City of White Rock gave me the choice to pay now, or pay more later. Not able to make a court appearance, I had to pay. So not only did they get my parking revenue, they also got my fine. I even know people who have been issued fines when walking from their cars to purchase a ticket. Maybe aggressive tactics, as far as revenue, work in the short term. But I promise the money I paid in fines is a small portion of what I used to inject in restaurants and shops. In the future, my money will be used somewhere less threatening. Robert Tewson, Langley

Environmental discourse Editor: Re: Fighting, funding forces of nature, March 25 letters. I’m quite content to be one of the smug, righteous individuals letterwriter Francis Patrick Jordan speaks so disparagingly of. On the contrary, his rant regarding “some monied individuals and groups indulge their worst instincts to purchase influence and power over politicians, the media and a duped public” is exactly the scenario environmentalists encounter and why they are what they are. I would suggest he take a long look at the photo Peace Arch News printed along with his remarks; I do not see any who might, even remotely, resemble “slackers who sit in on endless green meetings before renting themselves off as professional protesters.” He could not be more wrong in his estimation of an environmentalist. In their own individual way, they are passionate, cohesive and sincere in their pursuits of what they believe is right. Pernicious views like these – think columnist Tom Fletcher – just make us more determined. Frances Saxton Manary, Surrey Q Accolades to Peace Arch News, not only for publishing a letter by Bill Stewart but for a rebuttal letter by Francis Jordan on the same day, acknowledging that there are two sides to a coin.

Letter-writers dismiss arguments raised by CropLife Canada that oppose labels for genetically modified food.

Plenty of concern over GMO food Editor: Re: GMO foods no concern, April 3 letters. In response to your article on genetically modified food (Petition takes on GMOs, April 1), Ted Menzies, president of CropLife Canada, claims GMO crops are harmless, so there is no point in demanding that all foods containing such artificial ingredients need be labeled. Menzies claims “all new crops undergo extensive safety reviews by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Health Canada.” He also denies there is evidence that there should be a safety concern when there is none. Readers should realize CropLife Canada is a lobbying organization, part of a multinational businesspromotion lobby funded by the manufacturers, developers and distributors of “plant technology.” In spite of the extensive propaganda, independent scientists in Europe have banned many of these products as scientifically unsafe. Even scientists in Canada have blown the whistle on these products, but then they usually lose their jobs in Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s anti-science, pro-business world. So-called regulatory agencies like Health Canada have been ‘captured’ by the industry they are supposed to regulate; senior administrators from industry are appointed by government to misdirect the historical activity of such bodies. Inspectors are removed from manufacturers as government tries to save money by having such companies regulate themselves.

These ‘regulators’ have been reduced to rubber-stamping ‘research’ done by polluters of our food, who typically only look to see if their additives cause an immediate poison reaction. The last thing they are looking for are long-term problems such, as cancer or birth defects. This is the type of pseudo-research tobacco companies used for years to divert attention from the cancer-causing effects of cigarettes. Unfortunately, there are immoral scientists who will ‘prove’ anything for money. There are now more than 75,000 artificial chemicals added into our food and environment since 1945. Meanwhile, cancer rates soar while manufacturers resist all attempts by the consumers to make their own decisions by being told which foods contain GMO. These “maximizers of the bottom-line” are quite happy to impose the largest safety experiment in history on ignorant populations. People need to alert themselves to the quiet machinations of organizations and their high-paid lobbyists and propagandists. Herb Spencer, Surrey Q Was that a paid commercial by CropLife Canada? Good or bad, the public has a right to know. Currently, 64 countries around the world require labeling of genetically engineered foods – such as 15 nations in the European Union, Japan, Australia, Brazil, Russia and even China. Marilyn E.

Bulding variance would set precedent, council hears

Second basement denied Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A request to vary rules that prohibit second basements in new single-family homes in White Rock has been sent back to the drawing board. Council voted unanimously last week to deny a variance sought for 14205 Marine Dr., where proponents have designs on a home with two basements. “In all respects, this house far exceeds the guidelines,” Coun. Louise Hutchinson said. When first brought to the city last August, the plan for the second basement was to provide room for a four-car garage, a combined entry/recreation room, and an indoor pool and exercise area. Under current zoning, however,

the RS-1 one-unit residential lot is only allowed one basement. That rule came into effect last year, following concerns with the construction of a four-storey, 14,000-sq.-ft. single-family home at Cliff Avenue and Kent Street. Guidelines in effect then enabled proponents to build two levels below-grade. Applicants behind the Marine Drive proposal were asked to remove a fourth floor and address steepness of the lot’s driveway. The revised plans reduced the size of the second basement by about 1,100 sq.-ft. (to 2,316.2 sq.ft.) and removed the pool/exercise area. They also included additional features such as a front courtyard with extra parkings. City staff supported the revi-

sions and recommended council consider moving it forward. But in a public meeting held immediately prior to the March 31 council meeting, two residents opposed the variance. Margaret Woods, a former city councillor, said her concern is the amount of livable space the finished home will have that won’t be taxed. At the mayor’s request, financial services director Sandra Kurylo clarified that property taxes are based on assessed value multiplied by the city’s tax rate. Woods was also concerned that council might relax its stance on second basements. Ken Jones, also a former politician, said he was “very concerned” the variance would set a precedence.

Marine Drive roadwork extended Conflicts caused by roadwork on west Marine Drive has resulted in changes to White Rock’s trafficmanagement plan for the project, and an extended timeline for completion. Bob Ambardar, a city engineer, told council last week that only buses and local traffic would be allowed south of North Bluff Road between Bishop Road and High Street. Crews have been working since

February to replace the road, road base, sidewalk and service connections of Marine Drive along the four-block stretch, following council approval in January of a $1.5-million contract to Imperial Paving Ltd. Initial traffic-management plans included temporary re-routing of the C51 bus. According to a staff report, the plans were modified March 14 after residents expressed con-

cern with increased truck traffic, improper signage and an increase in non-local traffic. Ambardar said the city is working with Epcor on a water-main replacement for the same stretch of Marine. The work is expected to extend the project’s timeline by about three weeks; a delay Mayor Wayne Baldwin described as “not a good thing.” – Tracy Holmes

Mohan Tatra has learned a lot about kidneys over the last several years. He can expound at length about a kidney’s one million nephrons and their ability to filter waste from the blood. He will explain in detail about how excess salt and sugar in one’s diet is harmful to kidney health. Tatra also speaks four languages – Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu and English – a boon to the local renal community. Tatra, 72, is the president of the new South Asian Chapter of the Kidney Foundation of Canada, BC Branch, which launched last week in Newton. He and his wife, Surjit, have been volunteers with the foundation for four years, spreading awareness to the South Asian community about proper diet and exercise, explaining how kidneys work, and offering advice to a group at greater risk of kidney disease than the general population. Most importantly, he says, the information he passes on, although some of it quite technical, is in a language they can understand.

Cadets shoot to win Members of the 2812 Royal Canadian Army Cadets snagged themselves a first-place finish at the provincial marksmanship finals late last month in Vernon. The five-member team – which included (pictuted) Maya Naidu, Benny Song, Kevin Fierling, Shane Miller and Arshmeet Bewli – won the 12-team competition, giving the 2812 team a third straight B.C. title. Fierling won Top Shot honours. Now, the quintet will take aim at nationals. The team has sent in its registration and now wait to hear if it makes the cut and earns an invite to the Canada-wide event.

August 23rd, 13 Days, 24 meals We did this tour last year and had an amazing experience and tour. We did this tour last year and had such an amazing experience we are doing it again. Being born there myself, I was embarrassed by how little I knew of my heritage. Flying into Deer Lake we headed north to Port au Choix. We explored the interpretation center where they excavated a Viking village. Along the sides of the roads you see the vegetable gardens people have planted and the piles of wood cut and left there to dry. There is no concern of people steeling their vegetables or wood. Amazing concept. Over to Labrador, the terrain was very different. We explored one of the many lighthouses and drank in the sites and imagined the harsh life of the fishermen. Back across on the ferry to St. Anthony we explored a whaling

station the Basques operated back in the 16th Century. Being so used to a younger history on the West coast, these historical landmarks gave me a much wider appreciation for our Canadian history. We explored Gros Morne National Park by land and water enjoying a boat tour and some lively music from the crew. Travelling East we stopped in Gander at the Air Museum and learned more about these people that opened their doors to the 911 passengers that were stranded there. Other stops were, Cow Head, Twillingate, Clarenville and three nights in St. John’s. August 23rd is our departure date and we were able to get excellent pricing with West Jet for the flight. This year we depart on August 23rd and garnered some excellent pricing with West Jet for the flight. This is definitely a trip full of memories for a lifetime. Book before June 23rd and now save $100 per person.

A pair of Surrey residents are recipients of B.C. Community Achievement Awards. Lawrence Haiducu, chair of UBC Medicine’s Wellness Initiative Network, was recognized for his dedication to community. He is founder of a project to educate Grade 10 students about sun protection and a past leader of Harmony in Action, a cultural support group. Amrik Singh Aulakh became a volunteer of the Surrey Crime Prevention Society in 1998, active on Citizens on Patrol, Counter Attack and Speed Attack. Since 2007, Aulakh has served as an auxiliary constable with Surrey RCMP. An advisory council selected 34 winners. Recipients will be recognized in Victoria on April 29, where each will receive a certificate and medallion designed by artist Robert Davidson.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

T.J. Hermiston’s latest music is connecting locally and nationally

Peninsula-born artist keeping it real Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

f Terence Jack (also known as T.J. Hermiston) has learned anything in well over a decade of making music, it’s that the real and the authentic is what resonates with people. On his latest album, Reckless Abandon, the White Rock-raised singer and songwriter embraces the real with passion – starting with his own deep baritone voice and un-enhanced guitars (Weissenborn lap steel, electric, acoustic) and harmonica. To this basic Terence Jack sound, Hermiston, 29, has added a handpicked selection of accompanying musicians, including cellist Michelle Faerhmann, drummers Dan Klenner and Ben Brown, pianist and organist Georges Couling, bassists Matt Reid and guitarists John Sponarski and Tim Tweedale for an ❝I don’t think I really have a eminently listenable, choice – you unpretentious write about your collection. The songs on Reckless surroundings Abandon – in what and what you he describes as a folk/ relate to.❞ alt country vein – are sometimes moody (Fault, Minus Love Minus You, Home Is Where The Heart Is), sometimes stompingly upbeat (Run, Please Don’t Go), but always thoughtful meditations on the realities of “love and loss and pain – the trials and tribulations of life.” And when his lyrics mention the Canadian landscape – including Alberta and Salmon Arm – that’s no pose or affectation; he’s writing about places he’s visited and lived in. “I used to travel all over B.C. and in the Kootenays,” he said. “I definitely feel a connection. I don’t think I really have a choice – you write about your surroundings and what you can relate to.” But, in reality, his music originates in his heart and soul – and just about anywhere he and a guitar can travel, including Bali and South East Asia, where he conducts adventure tours for his own travel company. “That’s where I do most of my writing,” Hermiston said, adding that the current album took a year and a half from initial inspiration to finished product. There’s every indication that his new Terence Jack sound and persona is clicking with a public tired of passionless music-

Terence Jack (also known on the local music scene as T.J. Hermiston) is scoring success with a new album and a mature folk and alternative country sound. manufacturing. The single, Treasure Map, from the album, has been placed in regular rotation at Whistler FM and five college radio stations, his release show at Vancouver’s St. James Hall sold out, drawing a crowd of 300, and he’s charted number one on the local folk charts and number three on the national folk charts on ReverbNation.

Playing for Stanley Park’s 125th birthday celebration last year also helped win him new fans, he said. “If a lot of people are feeling what I’m singing, I can only be grateful,” he said. Hermiston has matured and evolved from the days when he was a mainstay of funky local alternative youth bands, such as Suzy – and his music and his process has evolved

too, he acknowledges. “I’ve been writing a long time,” he said. “When I was young I played all sorts of genres – ska, a little bit of reggae, a little bit of funk-rock. It’s just mutated into this – mainly a matter of wanting to give the songs what they deserve.” He’s always liked old-style country and folk, he said – among his musical heroes are such singers and songwriters as Johnny Cash, John Pine and Bob Dylan. “The essence of it is not to overproduce it – I’m not trying to do any genre specifically, but this is the way the songs have come out of me.” Born in Peace Arch Hospital, Hermiston said he does feel “very lucky” to have grown up around the Semiahmoo Peninsula – even though his excursions further afield have included a year spent in busy, artsfriendly Montreal. “The amount of artists that have come out of here is incredible,” he said of his home town. “It’s a real arts hub of the Lower Mainland,” he adds citing such musical inspirations as Cozy Bones, Jim Black, the Sumner Brothers and Lydia Hol. Hermiston said he likes to explore – and remain true to – the flashes of inspiration that seem to come to him randomly. “Often, I’ll have a dream in which I’ve heard a line or a melody – I’ll wake up in the middle of the night and scramble for my phone or some other voice recorder. I have about a million and a half of these notes to myself. And, yes, there’s the good and the bad. Sometimes you say ‘what was I thinking?’ but some of the time you surprise yourself. “The toughest thing is getting what’s in here” – he taps his head – “out onto paper.” A lot of songs are based on his own experiences, he admits. “Except Lorena – that came out of nowhere,” he adds, mentioning the grimly ironic song in which a woman, trapped in a cycle of abuse and dependence, fantasizes about killing the man who victimized her. “The curious thing is, I was hitchhiking to play a show on (Vancouver) Island and a woman picked me up and we were talking and the story of the song was her life – and this was after I’d written and recorded the song.” Reckless Abandon can be purchased on iTunes, or streamed at tinyurl.com/ la9f6lq or for more information visit www. facebook.com/terencejackmusic

The lineup is subject to change, depending on rights and availability issues. – Alex Browne

Premier Baseball League team looks to turn page on recent struggles

Veteran Tritons take aim at playoffs Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

he White Rock Tritons are tired of losing. And, really, who can blame them after how the last few BC Premier Baseball League seasons have gone? The Tritons – playing out of South Surrey Athletic Park – have not made the playoffs since 2009, and have faced their fair share of adversity since. In 2010, the U18 club struggled to field a team on a weekly basis, and were forced to forfeit a few games due to using ineligible players – which led to former coach Brent Swanson calling the league “an absolute joke” before resigning his post. In the seasons since, with head coach Russ Smithson at the helm, they’ve been more stable, but still struggled. Last year, they finished 12th in the 13-team

league with a record of 13-35. team-best 7-5 win-loss record on the mound But all that is in the past, Smithson said last season – and Jake Gill. – and that’s where they’d like it to stay. “Those guys are our two aces. And (Gill) “We are ready to leave the park happy has been throwing really hard,” Smithson again,” he said earlier this week, said. a few days before his squad was Last year, the team had just five ❝We are ready set to head to Kelowna, where regular pitchers, Smithson added, to leave the park they’ll open the season with four which made things difficult, happy again.❞ games against the rival Okanagan especially when the schedule got Athletics. busy.

Smithson’s confidence in his team stems “We finally have pitching, so this year, from its veteran core – White Rock’s roster we can go all out,” he said. “We have some features 10 Grade 12s – as well as a restocked lefties, some righties, some guys who throw pitching staff. hard, some soft… it allows us to get creative This year’s team has eight capable pitchers, during games now. led by returnees Scott Doucet – who had a “If we want to play a matchup and use four

The latter two players have been red-hot at the plate during the preseason, Smithson said. “I’ve never seen those guys work this hard before,” he said. And though they have to start the season on the road – which isn’t anything new for a team whose early-season schedule is often road-game heavy – Smithson is banking on some momentum from spring training carrying over into the regular season. i see page 34

Ugandan coaches visit The South Surrey-White Rock Minor Softball Association kicked off its season with opening ceremonies Saturday, and among the highlights was the introduction of two visiting coaches. As part of the Pearl of Africa program â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in which Ugandan coaches and players develop with help from softball programs here â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the South Surrey association welcomed Esther Nakabugo and Rosemary Jopaowitt into the fold.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll spend four months on the Peninsula, learning from coaches here. The Pearl of Africa series â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which was created by Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ruth Hoffman in 2012 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; began when a Langley Little League baseball team travelled to Uganda to play the team they should have faced at the 2011 Little League World Series.

Kwantlen honours athletes Rick Kupchuk Black Press

A pair of badminton players have been honoured with the Athletes of the Year award at Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s (KPU) varsity athlete banquet night in Langley last month. Rosalynn Chong and Chris Chung were the recipients of the top honour, helping the KPU Eagles to a silver medal in the PACWEST (Pacific Western Athletic Conference) team standings. The pair placed second in the conference in mixed doubles, and each was named a conference all-star. The pair also won a bronze

medal at the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association (CCAA) nationals. Chung was twice named the KPU Eagle Male Athlete of the Week, while Chong took the honor three times. A pair of Surrey residents, Shilpa Khanna of the women’s basketball team and men’s soccer player Matt Visser, received the Charter Bus Lines varsity athletic academic award. Khanna was named the PACWEST rookie of the year. The Charter Bus Lines award goes to the first year studentathletes with the highest grade point average (GPA) in their first semester at KPU.

The Pat Dooley Memorial Award – named in honour of the Elgin Park Secondary studentathlete who died in 2008 – went to men’s basketball forward Gurpal Mann of Surrey, for his leadership on and off the court. Norma Sheane of the women’s soccer team, received the Mary and Pius McEachern Memorial Award for “commitment to the program while maintaining excellence in the classroom. The Jeff Norris award, presented to an Eagles golfer who has competed in a BCGA championship with a handicap index of 6.0 or better, went to Thomas Rose.

variable valve timing, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The two base engines available are a solid 2.4-litre four-cylinder and a 2.5 version, both of which are likely adequate for commuter use. I headed straight for Highway One and it positively purred along the long, clear stretches open to the daytime driver. Great acceleration in take-off and passing with limited lean and sway when cornering at speed. Back in urban madness, it offered a good view of fast encroaching vehicles from side streets and the rear. I mention this because I expected the sleek window profiles might hinder views, especially to the rear. Hence, it was also not as much of a beast to park at the supermarket as I had feared. Light steering also assisted in that manouevre. On the urban performance front, the transmission took the annoyance out of stop-go traffic. Have to think it was gulping gas though in smoothing out the urban trek. The Impala with the V6 starts at $32,945 (around $3,000 more than the 4-cylinder-equipped versions) but the test car options, which included rear park assist, rear vision camera, collision and lane departure alerts, premium audio, sunroof, added another $7,000. It will compete with the Dodge Charger and Ford Taurus domestically and a host of imports. Now to my reservations: the fuel economy for the V6 is 11.1/6.9L 100km (city/highway) and while that is not bad for a large car, it’s not the best in its segment. The four-cylinder eco version is impressive at 8.7/5.8L 100km (city/ highway). That said,I don’t think fuel economy will be a deal breaker for most people. My continued reservations really boil down to reliability. It’s a brand new car and we should wait a couple or three years before anointing this car as the best domestic sedan ever. That caution should not stop you from taking one for a spin. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Flops: Auto misses

MY NISSAN

GET OUT

DRIVE

By Rob Sass Some new cars sneak into the world under the radar with little baggage in the form of expectations (realistic or otherwise). Others are so heavily touted that even the best can sink under the weight of unrealistic pressures. Here are some that, in addition to being under the microscope when introduced, suffered from many glitches.

SALES EVENT

NIS SAN S PRING LIMITED TIME OFFER

Minivan 1990-93 Pontiac Trans Sport: GM perceived an unexploited niche for a minivan with some style, much like the European Renault Espace. The concept car was brilliant, with gullwing doors and a glass roof. Unfortunately, none of these features translated into the production model, whose awkward profile resembled a Black and Decker Dustbuster mini vacuum. The nickname “Dustbuster” stuck, and sales were modest. Buyers found them hard to see out of because of the huge distance between the steering wheel and the windshield.

MIDSIZED MODERATELY PRICED CAR

Small car 1971-77 Chevrolet Vega: The Vega was supposed to be the small car that sent the new wave of Japanese imports back across the Pacific. Instead, it pushed a giant wave of buyers into Toyota and Datsun showrooms. The aluminum engine, which was prone to overheating and oil burning, and the hideously rust-prone bodies were often just the tip of the misery iceberg for Vega owners. Even the air in the tires seemed substandard.

Luxury car

1981 Cadillac DeVille V8-6-4: GM struggled to maintain a sense of traditional luxury under the weight of the first Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) regulations. And while the idea of a V-8 engine that turned off cylinders when they weren’t needed had promise that would eventually be realized, the technology of the day wasn’t up to the task and the feeling of the cylinders shutting off and on was perceptible to the point of being nausea-inducing. Cadillac introduced at least 13 new computer chips for the cylinder deactivation control system before giving up.

Last quarter of 20th century produced some forgettable cars Sports car

1972-75 Jensen-Healey: The Jensen-Healey was designed to be the successor to the much-loved Austin-Healey 3000, with input from the legendary Donald Healey. Unfortunately, the J-H was perceived as bland and derivative. A new and untested Lotus twin-cam engine, broken timing belts, oil leaks and low oil pressure issues ensured that warranty claims added up quickly and the Jensen-Healey was gone after just four model years.

Supercar

1989-93 Vector W8: Promoted heavily as America’s answer to

supercars like the Lamborghini Diablo, the Vector was underfunded, underdeveloped and (some said) amateurishly styled. Tennis star Andre Agassi was an early and unhappy customer when his car failed spectacularly on his first day of ownership, by some accounts setting his garden on fire. Accusations and legal threats flew both ways, and in the end, just 17 cars were built before the whole venture collapsed. The original price was $455,000.

Ford F150: Turning heads with bells and whistles The all-new 2015 Ford F150 turned some heads – including mine – at the Vancouver International Auto Show. Here’s a close look at what’s new and different. I think the first thing that impresses is the new styling. The LED back-lit headlights are a real standout and the grille is a three-bar travelling all the way down to the bumper. Very nice. The next noteworthy change is the super-lightweight, military-grade aluminum alloy body, weighing almost 318 kilograms less than the previous model. We saw glimpses of this with Ford’s concept truck, the Atlas, but We saw glimpses did not expect it to become reality so soon. of this with Ford’s When it goes on sale late concept truck but this year, there will be five did not expect it to trims available: XL, XLT, Lariat, Platinum and King become reality so Ranch. Chrome appearance soon. packages are available with Ian Harwood them all. Monochromatic sport appearance packages are available with all but the King. Optional power running boards drop down into position only when the doors are opened and remain tight against the body. Some of the safety concerns expressed around driving a pickup are addressed with the use of sensors in the advanced personal safety system that control deployment of the dual-stage front airbags, front seat side airbags, and side canopy air bags. Advance-Trac and roll stability control comes standard.

seatbelts are fastened. There are second-row inflatable safety belts, which work like a traditional belt but include a tubular airbag that inflates in the event of a crash and distributes the force of the impact across a wider area of the passenger’s chest. A feature called “curve control” automatically provides more aggressive four-wheel braking when the truck is going into a corner too fast. There are a host of safety systems. Adaptive cruise control allows drivers to set a cruising speed and use radar technology to monitor traffic ahead and maintain a safe distance between vehicles. The lane-keeping system is designed to help avert unintentional drifting of the vehicle outside the intended driving lane. It automatically detects the left or right-hand road lane markings using a camera mounted between

Confessions of a Curber

Thank goodness, the stolen vehicle was behind me. Did I feel bad? Yes. Does it make me a bad person for selling a stolen vehicle? Probably. But to outsiders, my life hasn’t changed. I’m still the same old Walt. Oh, if they only knew. I was on a roll. To my disbelief, I’d sold seven cars already. I guess you could say it was a part of me now – I “flip” cars on the side. And, I was branching out – with a truck and camper. The truck had been rebuilt. It was roadworthy again. I even had the inspection records to prove it. And the camper? That was marketing genius. When I put it up for sale, I fibbed. But only a little bit. “Truck for sale. Fixed after fender bender, looks new. Includes camper. It’s been in an accident, so I’m selling both for a low price. Great for family adventures. Call if interested.” Shortly after, I got a call. The man had a distinct, charming accent. He asked me what a “fender bender” was. I explained that it was a small accident. He seemed pleased and asked to meet me the next day. I assumed he was relatively new to the country, so I thought this would be an easy sale. Boy was I wrong! He’d gone to “new immigrant” welcome classes, where they shared information about life in Canada. I think this was where he developed an interest in camping Canadian style. He knew all the right questions to ask. But, I

gave him all the wrong answers. And, I didn’t tell him the camper was way too heavy for the truck to be safe. He also asked for a vehicle history report. I pulled the CarProof report out. I mean, I had nothing to hide. He asked me what “rebuilt*” meant. I told him that, because of the small accident, the transmission needed to be rebuilt. Oh, but I’d altered the sections detailing the amount of damage. Judging from his English skills, I’m sure he didn’t understand the difference. At least he was trying. He got an “A” for effort. I hope he figures out that the truck and camper would be unsafe on the road when he gets it fully loaded with passengers, fuel and gear. Good thing I have my “no returns” policy! Yes, I know what you’re all thinking. This is the lowest of the low. But you have to understand. I was slightly manic about this whole thing. At this point, I would do anything to make a sale and get myself another wallet full of cash.

*Rebuilt - This status is assigned to “salvage” vehicles after they have been repaired and have passed inspection. Vehicle status alone does not fully describe a vehicle’s mechanical condition or damage history. This applies to RVs, motorcycles, cars and trucks.

Polygon unveils new community in Richmond: Avanti By Kerry Vital

Polygon Homes is bringing something brand-new to Richmond with Avanti, a three-tower community with an urban park. “The Avanti community is located in one of the best locations in the City of Richmond,” says Polygon Homes president and CEO Neil Chrystal. “Situated just one block east of the Aberdeen Canada Line Station, Avanti residents will be

steps away from hundreds of services, shops and restaurants including Aberdeen Centre and T&T Supermarket.” The first phase includes Richmond’s first Flatiron design building, a 15-storey tower with 164 one- and two-bedroom homes. Many of the homes will offer a panoramic view of the city, urban park or the North Shore mountains. Among the features in the homes will be engineered stone countertops, glass-tile backsplashes, flat-panel cabinetry and warm wood-style laminate flooring.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

The adjacent urban park is one of the best amenities at Avanti. “The park will have a public plaza for live performances, an interactive walking path, green space and luminous art by internationally renowned Pacific Northwest artist Dan Corson,” says Chrystal. “Avanti allows residents to live, commute, shop and relax within a two-block radius and Polygon is ecstatic to contribute to the exciting transformation of this entire neighbourhood.” The park is expected to be completed in 2015, and the first tower in 2016. Other amenities include a residents-only Jewel Box-style clubhouse with a fully equipped fitness centre with a dance and yoga studio, recording studio, games room and hotelstyle rooftop with a grand whirlpool. There will also be a Googleplex-influenced multimedia lounge. The sales centre will open on April 12. For more information, check out www.polyhomes.com, call 604-2769186 or visit the sales centre at 8311 Cambie Road, Richmond.

The CresseyKitchen is one of the most stunning parts of the homes at Cadence, with stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops and a marble backsplash. Homeowners will have access to tons of amenities, including an expansive podium rooftop garden. Other beautiful features of the homes include wide-plank engineered hardwood flooring, large windows and a rain shower head in the bathroom for an extra luxurious feeling.

Richmond’s healthiest homes at Cressey’s Cadence By Kerry Vital

Luxury and style is evident at Cressey’s Cadence, a new project in Richmond’s Oval Village that will eventually include two residential towers and tons of amenities. “This is the first master-planned mixeduse community in Richmond,” says David Evans, development manager for Cressey. “It’s anchored by the Oval itself, and everything is built up ... around it.” The location is one of the driving forces behind Cadence. Just a block from the water and its leisure and recreation opportunities, Cadence will be one of the most wellconnected developments in the city, with shopping, dining and transit all within walking distance or on-site. “People are recognizing the benefits of the Oval Village,” says Evans. Healthy living is top of mind at Cadence, especially with its proximity to the Richmond Olympic Oval. “We have a grand perspective for interior

air quality, earth, water and personal wellbeing,” says Evans. “Each suite has individual water filtration and energy recovery ventilation that brings fresh air into each home.” Every suite will have air-conditioning to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter, as well as an outdoor space perfect for entertaining and over-height ceilings that contribute to the airy and spacious feeling. Cressey has decided not to include carpet in the homes, and instead features wide-plank engineered hardwood flooring throughout, with tile in the bathrooms. Perhaps one of the best parts of the homes at Cadence is the famous CresseyKitchen, with stainless-steel appliances, fully integrated Chef ’s Wall, polished quartz countertops complemented by a marble backsplash and European-inspired full-height cabinetry and task lighting. “People are thrilled and surprised by the kitchen itself,” says Evans. “It’s like a kitchen in a single-family home. It’s a show-stopper.” Elegant bathrooms have quartz countertops and wood-grained floating vanities with under-cabinet lighting and a modern polished marble tile floor. The ensuite has heated tile flooring by Nu-heat, for that extra touch of luxury. A rain shower head adds a spa-like feel to the space, complemented by stylish chrome faucets. Continuing the theme of healthy living at Cadence, there will be a branch of Steve Nash

Fitness World on the ground level, and every homeowner will be given a membership. There will also be an array of shops, restaurants and other commercial spaces on the bottom level, making running errands convenient. An expansive podium rooftop garden will feature an outdoor patio and barbecue area, outdoor fireplace, reflecting pond, private gardening plots and a children’s play area, among many other amenities. Cadence will also have a private concierge service. For more information, visit www.cressey. com/cadence or call 604-276-8683. The presentation centre in Richmond is open by appointment.

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS OBITUARIES

Richard Carey Shermann Nov. 12, 1990 – March 30, 2014 Richard could run like the wind and now he has left us behind to live within it. Taken from his inconsolable family at only 23 years old in the early morning of March 30, Richard was loved without reserve by his mother, Linda, father Leagh and older sister Tara of Cloverdale. He always made time for his grandmother Marge Kent of Vancouver and his grandparents Roi and Carell Shermann of White Rock. Often called Richie by friends and family, his cousins, aunts and uncles and many, many friends feel his absence keenly. Richard was a happy individual. More importantly, he made others happy. His smile and outlook on life was always bright. His too short, life was punctuated by the things he loved – family time, his friends, sports and the outdoors. Referred to as ‘our mudbowl baby’ Richard was born November 12, 1990. An incredibly active and adventurous child, he was skiing by the age of 5. Every winter family friends, Kurt and Charmaine made sure Richard had a home base to indulge his passion on the slopes of Hemlock Mountain. Growing up, it was quickly apparent Rich had inherited his father’s sprinting ability and his mother’s determination. He distinguished himself playing both high school and community football in Langley. But it was golf that claimed his teenage pursuits. Named for his grandfather Richard Kent, they shared a passion for golf that grew over the past five years to the point where Richard was quite accomplished. He shared the love of golf with his Uncle Bob, and often played with his Uncle David and it encouraged his Dad and buddy Steve to take up the game even though they had little hope of catching him. Again, Rich had a step on them. Summers from early childhood were spent outdoors. Richard loved summers in Osoyoos wakeboarding behind Uncle Steve’s boat and shared many happy weekends on Gossip Island with the Friesens. The Hyneks and Shermanns were an extended family spending many weekend and summer vacations together plus regular trips to Mexico where each family member contributed to incredible memories. All the ‘kids’ planned their work around family trips to Tulameen and Whistler. In addition to his parents and sister, Richard has left behind his uncle David, Aunty Cyndy and Liz, uncle Steve, aunty Mary, Lisa, Bryan and Bobbie, grandma Marge, aunty Linda, grandma Carrel and grandpa Roi, aunty Carelyn, Montana and aunty Shelagh. His grandpa Richard Kent and uncle Bob Kent predecease Richard. Richard has left us much too soon. He loved and was loved. Deeply and unconditionally. For those that knew Richard, they may recognize him some day soon in the wind that swirls by. The soft breeze he’ll lay across our cheek will temper the gusts of emotion that will buffet us. Richie will never be forgotten. A celebration of Richard’s life is planned for 11:00 am, Saturday, April 19 at Newlands Golf Course in Langley. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to your favorite charity.

OBITUARIES

MYLOD, John Dec 9th 1944 - April 6, 2014 Deeply Loved Husband, Father, Teacher On the 6th of April 2014 John left his health challenges from Lewy Body Dementia behind and pulled away from the dock for the last time. With the care and support of his wife Dawn, sons Mark and John, and community, he was able to stay in his own home until shortly before he passed away. Johns’ greatest loves in life were his family, boating, fishing and having a cold one. He was always happiest when able to do all these things at the same time. John received a paycheque from the Surrey School District for teaching something he loved. He shared his passion for History and Photography. His laid back approach in the classroom inspired many of his students to pursue similar interests. He leaves behind a family that will celebrate his sense of humor, his outlook on life and commitment to putting family first. A Celebration of John’s Life will be held in the coming weeks.
