Weekend deluge has lasting effect for food supply

Flooded farmers look on bright side Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Checking on his lettuce crop the morning after Sunday’s downpour, South Surrey farmer James Yue wanted to cry. Where the fields used to be, there was a vast body of water – the result of torrential rains that drenched the Lower Mainland. Nine acres of his leafy crop – of his livelihood – are still underwater. As of Tuesday afternoon, it was still deep enough that when he waded in, it reached to his mid-thigh, and he estimates it will be another three weeks before it can be replanted. “It’s devastating,” Yue said of the damage. “What I lost, you can’t recover it.” Yue, a fourth-generation farmer, estimates the deluge – which hit the eastern corners of White Rock and South Surrey particularly hard – has cost him at least $100,000 in plants, fertilizer and more. “And that’s being conservative,” he said. “You don’t expect these things. My mom’s been at it for 55 years – she’s never seen anything like it.” Yue’s family owns three farms – 100 acres in all – in the 4300-block of 176 Street. They started farming in 1967. i see page 8

Train bridge over Little Campbell River has long been targeted for replacement

BNSF to replace trestle, with or without First Nation Tracy Holmes

Semiahmoo for access to build a replacement bridge – a project valued at $1.3 million. The bridge sits on a BNSF-owned right-of-way through the Semiahmoo reserve.

Staff Reporter

Work to replace the deteriorating Little Campbell River rail bridge “could begin as early as this summer.” BNSF spokesman Gus Melonas gave the update this week, confirming at the same time that the timeline does not mean access to the bridge has been worked out with the Semiahmoo First Nation. “We would apply technology from railroad property,” Melonas told Peace Arch News Monday. Melonas told PAN last August and again in January that the company was negotiating with the

Rock city manager Dan Bottrill and BNSF officials in Seattle last week, Coun. Grant Meyer said he took the opportunity to ask about the status of replacement plans. “They said they have a plan. They didn’t expand,” Meyer said. “I took that as positive… that maybe there has been some movement.” Meyer said other topics discussed at the meeting in Seattle focused on the “mutual concern over rail safety,” and included the possibility of new railings along the waterfront, trespassing and the transportation of dangerous goods through the Semiahmoo Peninsula. i see page 4

Railway secrecy concerns mayor Alex Browne Staff Reporter

White Rock is not receiving much comfort for promising confidentiality on dangerous goods shipped by rail through the community. So says Mayor Wayne Baldwin, who is critical of a directive from Transport Canada that requires railway companies to share limited

information on dangerous goods with municipalities and first responders – but in return for not disclosing the information to the public. In a worst-case scenario – a freight train derailment – first responders would still have only a guess what they might be dealing with, Baldwin said, based on past shipments. i see page 4

properties between two and 10 acres in size. Most agricultural properties in Surrey that are outside the ALR fit into this category. Then there are landowners who simply cut trees without any regard for permits or legality. While it is hard to do this in highly trafficked areas where there are a lot of people, there are a surprising number of properties in Surrey that are off the beaten track. The Surrey bylaw is hardest on legitimate property owners who wish to cut down one or two trees. A recently repealed bylaw in Vancouver allowed property owners to cut one tree per year, simply by getting a basic lowcost permit. No arborists were required, which simply boosts the costs of the exercise. Vancouver has now dispensed with this bylaw, but such an approach would make sense in Surrey. It would still keep the worst offenders at bay – if it’s possible to pinpoint them – while easing the punitive nature of the current bylaw on lawabiding citizens. By the way, the city itself is exempt from its treepreservation bylaw. Citizens need to be vigilant if there are any attempts to four-lane Fraser Highway through the Green Timbers, because that will require hundreds of trees that are almost 90 years old to come down.

Most respondents supported proposal, with 20 per cent opposed, according to city staff

Waterfront food-truck future ‘in limbo’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Food trucks are off the table in White Rock – for now, but not necessarily for good. Following a report, council voted unanimously last week to have staff take a closer look at exactly what such a program entails. “It’s kind of in limbo,” city manager Dan Bottrill told Peace Arch News. “Unless something comes up further, we probably won’t have a food-truck program this year.” In presenting her report, director of planning and development services Karen Cooper told council a food-truck program is “not an easy thing to develop.” “There’s more work that staff needs to do,” she said.

City staff in March recommended adding up to four food trucks to the waterfront menu this summer, following a pilot with food carts last year. After giving a thumbs-up to bringing the carts back, a community forum was held to gauge the interest of residents and business owners in the idea. The reaction, Cooper said, was mixed. Of those who attended the forum or completed an online survey, 64 per cent expressed interest in having food trucks in White Rock; 20 per cent were opposed, Cooper said. She suggested further research – into things such as appropriate locations and conditions for approval – and a report outlining the

findings by the end of the year. Bottrill said as soon as the idea of a foodtruck forum was supported, odds of getting the program off the ground in time for the summer season diminished. “When we talked about this… in March, even then it was getting a little tight,” Bottrill said. “I’m imagining food-truck operators have already figured out what they’re doing (for the summer).” According to Cooper’s report, forum attendees who expressed interest in food trucks named enhanced tourism and additional options for families who don’t want to bring young children into a restaurant as among potential benefits. Concerns cited included the loss of parking revenue, poten-

tial impacts on existing Marine Drive restaurants and view impacts. While staff, in the March report, recommended allowing food trucks in the Bay Street parking lot on west beach, Cooper said the site was not suggested in any of the submissions received from the public. Instead, uptown White Rock, the east side of the museum and the promenade during offpeak hours were identified as possible sites. In discussing the issue last week, Coun. Helen Fathers said she doesn’t support allowing food trucks on the waterfront for a full season, but would like to see a foodtruck festival. She also questioned a suggestion by city staff for the city to provide electricity for the trucks.

Surrey First candidacy

Gill drops mayoral musings Kevin Diakiw Black Press

And then there were two. The race for who will succeed Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts as Surrey First’s mayoral candidate is down to two candidates – Couns. Linda Hepner and Bruce Hayne. Coun. Tom Gill, who earlier had expressed an interest in the mayoralty, told Black Press Monday that he has decided not to pursue the centre chair this election, saying he does not want to take any more time away from his young family. He also said he’ll back Hepner. Six elected Tom Gill members of councillor Surrey First – Watts’ creation of a “coalition of independents” – will decide who the group’s next mayoral candidate will be, after the three-term mayor announced last month she would not seek re-election Nov. 15. While Hepner appears to have the momentum at this time – Coun. Mary Martin has also indicated support – Hayne said he is still considering running for mayor. “I’ve put my hat into that ring,” Hayne said Monday. “I expect we will know in a week to 10 days. “Certainly if the group asked me to step forward, I would. If the group ends up backing Linda (Hepner), or someone else, I’ll support them and we’ll just move forward.” If Hayne can secure the support of Couns. Judy Villeneuve and Barbara Steele, Watts may have to break the tie vote. Coun. Barinder Rasode – who quit Surrey First last month, breaking the group’s total dominance on city council – has already said she’s running for mayor, as is Surrey realtor and businessman Vikram Bajwa.

Road rage

A report of road rage between two drivers near 24 Avenue and 192 Street in South Surrey Friday led police northeast to an area near the Langley Bypass and 202 Street, where officers arrested one suspect. Police say charges of breach of probation and drug possession have been recommended against a 35-year-old Langley man.

Significant reductions needed, as health authority awaits budget increase

Fraser Health wait times much longer Jeff Nagel Black Press

Fraser Health has curtailed surgeries in order to avoid an operating-room budget overrun despite the fact surgical wait times at its hospitals are already significantly longer than for patients in the neighbouring Vancouver Coastal region. Dr. Peter Blair, director of the surgical program for Fraser Health, said the reduction of surgeries since January and February was “only by a few per cent” and not the 20 per cent cut a White Rock orthopedic surgeon claimed last week. Dr. Arno Smit, chief of surgery at Peace Arch Hospital, told Peace Arch News that a waitinglist crisis is coming unless the health authority reverses the cuts and authorizes more use of mothballed operating rooms. Blair said he’s hopeful Fraser will soon be granted a budget increase allowing more surgeries, but said the curtailed surgical pace is continuing for now. It’s not a budget cut, he said, but a reduction in actual surgeries performed to bring OR spending back down to budgeted levels. “We realized we were spending money faster than we could,” Blair said of the overspending in the first two months of the year. “We did need to make a significant reduction.”

The department has since finished in January to March, even though the fiscal year at the end of March two of those three months saw Frawithin its budget. ser’s ORs running over-budget before Asked if averting a deficit has driven being curtailed. up wait times, Blair said he hasn’t yet “All of us have to be concerned about seen any clear evidence of that yet. that,” Blair said of the wait time disBut surgical wait time data reported parity. by the provincial government shows He cited population growth as the patients at most hospitals in Fraser are main challenge making it difficult to already waiting considerably longer meet wait time targets.

City staff, BNSF to tour waterfront i from page 1 The general manager of Burlington Northern’s northwest division, Daryl Ness, is to get White Rock’s sense of those concerns firsthand next week, during a visit to the waterfront. “He’s agreed a group of them would come up, so that’s great,” Meyer said. “You hear something, but until you can actually see it for yourself, sometimes it’s difficult to put it in perspective.” Melonas said the head of BNSF’s engineering team will

also be among the entourage. “We’re actually going to walk through the promenade area, take a look at everything from the right-of-way, discussing train volumes to commodities, to pedestrian safety… to drainage,” he said. Both Melonas and Meyer described the April 29 meeting as positive. Meyer said he appreciated the opportunity to more fully discuss issues such as the planned extension of White Rock’s promenade, and an assurance that BNSF’s

hazmat team will be contacting the White Rock fire officials to discuss emergency preparedness. Melonas said the upcoming waterfront walk-about is “a good way for us to understand, handson, exactly the lay of the land.” “We know the railroad – every inch of the railroad – but it’s certainly good to get community perspective as well,” he said. Melonas told PAN more specifics for the trestle replacement would be shared once details are finalized.

Advance warning needed: Baldwin i from page 1 “We don’t know what’s coming through in advance,” the mayor said. “We should be notified in advance when dangerous goods are coming through, whether it’s chlorine gas, or hydrochloric acid, propane or liquid natural gas, and, certainly, crude oil in tanker cars.” And while the directive, issued in November, requires each municipality to identify an emergency-planning official, the information shared by railway companies makes it hard to strategize an appropriate first response by emergency crews, Baldwin said. “They could think it’s propane when it’s crude oil, or hydrochloric acid when it’s chlorine,” he said. “Their approach will likely be very cautious, which would mean that time is lost. The first reaction would probably be evacuation, which is not an easy thing to achieve. It’s not very comforting.” A spokesperson for BNSF, however, notes that in the event of a derailment, the railway’s Hazmat team would immediately liaise with first responders. Baldwin’s comments came amid release of information that railcar shipments of oil and petroleum products through B.C. have

Surrey aims to stem almost $1 million in illegal dumping

Purchase the PANDORA â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forever in My Heartâ&#x20AC;? gift set for $230.*

Newton site of waste facility Kevin Diakiw Black Press

West Newton will be the home of a waste facility, hoped to stem almost $1 million in illegal dumping in Surrey. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in the works for years, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s believed Metro Vancouver and the City of Surrey will soon have agreed on a site. Metro Vancouver will finance the $8-14 million facility. The residential drop-off centre, now referred to as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;eco centre,â&#x20AC;? will take only household waste â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no commercial waste or city curbside pickup trucks will be allowed to use it. Its primary purpose is to give residents a closer place to drop off household waste, such as renovation material, merchandise and yard waste. The function will be somewhat similar to a waste transfer station, but it will be far smaller in scope. The three-to-five acre site will require zoning for â&#x20AC;&#x153;high impact industrial,â&#x20AC;? limiting the possibility of locations to only a few. Because it involves land acquisitions, city staff are unable to disclose the locations being considered. That said, the only areas in Newton with that type of zoning are in West Newton, roughly between King George Boulevard and 120 Street, from 72 to 88 avenues. Other areas with industrial

If the property is already zoned â&#x20AC;&#x153;high-impactâ&#x20AC;? industrial, no public hearing will be required. Nonetheless, Metro Vancouver will be holding public consultation hearings. Coun. Bruce Hayne, who chairs the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environmental advisory committee, said the move to put it there is all about making it as easy as possible not to illegally dump waste. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forcing people to drive to Port Kells to get rid of a mattress as an example, (when they live in)

South Surrey or Newton, is problematic for some people,â&#x20AC;? Hayne said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Or at least itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little more difficult, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier to dump it.â&#x20AC;?

A timely response

pathy in the political process has reached an all-time high in recent years, with the perception that elected representatives are not really listening to public concerns. But there is evidence this week that the provincial government is heeding public feedback, on two currently contentious issues at least. An all-party committee of MLAs has unanimously supported a proposal from Finance Minister Mike de Jong that henceforth all B.C. politicians will publish their expense receipts – including food, travel and accommodation – online. The proposal, clearly a response to the flap over legislature Speaker Linda Reid’s expenses – including nearly $5,500 in business-class air travel for her spouse, since repaid – elicited a few grumbles from NDP MLAs over the work involved in backing all expenses with receipts. But it seems MLAs overall agreed with de Jong’s assessment that steps need to be taken to restore public trust, after recent “unreasonable” expense abuses in B.C. and beyond. Meanwhile Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has apparently taken note of written feedback from B.C. residents in amending the proposed Bill 24, which would make changes to the province’s Agricultural Land Reserve. The contentious two-zone provision remains, dividing ALR land into one area (Metro Vancouver, Vancouver Island and the Okanagan) where farmland would be protected from nonagricultural development and another (essentially the rest of B.C.) where farmers might have options to invite in ‘value-added’ industries that could include oil and gas development. But there are indications that the impassioned words of many regarding both the need for food security in the province and a long-term commitment to preserving agricultural land have been noted and reflected in amendments. The amended legislation has received guarded endorsement from the B.C. Agriculture Council, although NDP agriculture critic Nicholas Simons says Bill 24 is still probably the worst piece of legislation he has seen. The actual impact of both of these provincial policies remains to be seen, of course. Politicians generally are past-masters in the art of simulated action, and manipulating public opinion through carefully stage-managed response. But the BC Liberals have everything to gain and nothing to lose by demonstrating a greater level of responsiveness to public opinion – rather than the predictable chorus of partisan support.

$8-million contract, but we know he’ll be OK. And the Canucks cut him loose while his dignity was still (partially) intact. It’d be easy for Tortorella to explain this season to future employers, if he wants back in. There are a host of teams who’ll need him and what he brings, like the Nashville Predators or the Florida Panthers, though it’s hard to see him and Roberto Luongo working together again. The guy’s only 55, which means he’s got a long time left in this business, if he wants. And, if anything, this past year in Vancouver – has rehabilitated his image, which was left in tatters on Broadway. When he came to Vancouver, you couldn’t turn on a TV without seeing his fights with Larry Brooks. Now? Well, he’ll be the guy who admitted he cries whenever he hears Sarah McLachlan sing In the Arms of an Angel. Or he could go into broadcasting, like he did when Tampa snipped him in 2008. They tease him all the time on TSN about how he hates The Quiz and how he ripped on James Duthie more than he analyzed players, but Tortorella’s nothing if not entertaining. And as for the Canucks? Well, they turned the page on the worst year in franchise history – all things considered – and they distanced themselves from the supposed reasons why. Each party walks away from this like Entourage’s Vinny Chase walked away from Medellin. There’s a lot of work to do, but at least they’re free to do it now.

Staff, students roar approval Editor: Re: Prides of White Rock to disband, May 1. I would like to take the opportunity to publicly thank the Peace Arch Monarch Lions and White Rock Lioness clubs for their years of support of our students. Through the generous donations that these service clubs have provided, we have been able to offer many wonderful experiences to our students. We have been able to take our students on an extended retreat to Camp Elphinstone, as well as offer many scholarships to postsecondary institutes. Students at the Learning Centre do not have the same access to these opportunities as mainstream students, and it is through the support of service clubs that we are able to provide these experiences. The staff and students of our school would like to once again thank the Lions and Lioness clubs for their years of support. Jim McConnell, South Surrey/ White Rock Learning Centre

MRI wait time takes its toll Editor: Re: A family’s frustration, May 1. My family is so disappointed at the long MRI wait time that Paige Jamieson has been given. She is the sportiest girl we know. She is taking the news like a real trooper. She still laughs hearty and smiles that big beautiful smile. But there is a sadness that wasn’t there before. We take her to the pool now, but it’s not the same. She needs to run around and compete again with her softball and soccer teams. At a time of life when too many

girls have long left sport behind, Paige has goals. Pun intended! We’ll send her parents a brown bill to be put toward private care. Get well soon, Paige! Lisa Parker and Jordan & Avalon Shaw, Surrey

Uphill battle in White Rock Editor: After five months of being away in Mexico, we returned to White Rock to once again see chaos on High Street. We got a taste of it last year when traffic was diverted up our street when road works were going on down on Marine Drive, but nothing prepared us for this. First of all, we had heard about a cement truck which had slid backward and dumped its load of cement on our driveway. That was

somewhat cleared up, but we have a bad patch job that tells the story. There are buses going up and down, big trucks coming around the corner at the top of the hill, one can only imagine what would happen if there is a head-on crash. Cars speed up the hill just to see how fast they can go. I hope they burn their engine. Yesterday, a delivery truck got stuck going up the hill, then started slipping back across the road and lost some of the load he was carrying. Luckily he was able to put on his brakes and picked up the stuff he had dropped. I am sure more than one person who is going up that hill for the first time are very intimidated and hope to hell they don’t have to stop. Apparently, according to the mayor, this is going to be finished by the end of June, however a lot of other people around here doubt it. I wonder if he still thinks he can make this deadline. D. Barros, White Rock

Marijuana is a health issue Editor: Re: Medical pot splits doctors, April 29. I applaud Dr. William Cavers for acknowledging the atrocious federal government barriers of access to medical cannabis – which has now been legal in Canada for 14 years – and the harm being caused to patients. Neither doctors or patients have been seriously consulted during the redefinition of this program. This is not a surprise since the federal government is the wrong legislative platform for medical programs. The provincial governments are the right legislative platforms for medical programs, according to our Canada Health Act. Until our federal government allows the provinces to do their job, there will be wasted taxpayers’ dollars, unnecessary suffering and deaths of those with health issues. This is not acceptable. That being said, our provincial government needs to lead the way and start the dialogue. We, the Canadian Medical Cannabis Partners, have been lobbying our provincial governments to strike a task force to set parameters for a provincial medicalcannabis program that brings dignity to patients. Over the past four years we have met with, presented to, written and phoned municipal, provincial and federal elected officials, yet remain unheard. We have now written Dr. Cavers and hope that the doctors in our province will help the patients to engage Premier Christy Clark and Minister of Health Terry Lake. If our elected officials will not

The waterfront in and around White Rock would be safer and more enjoyable without trains, writes Susan Potzold.

Rail safety comes down to hope Editor: Summertime and the living is lovely, especially if you can go to the beach – and keep your fingers crossed, that we don’t have a train derailment while you are out there basking in the sun with your loved ones. Whether you come from Cloverdale, Langley, Surrey or any other locale, and whether you are going to Crescent Beach or to White Rock, you are all welcome there – because it is your beach to enjoy. But wouldn’t it be great if we could all enjoy this most wonderful part of Boundary Bay without thinking about those eight significant crude-oil train accidents that happened in Canada and the U.S. just this year. Of course, the worst was Lac Mégantic with 47 lives lost. Could it happen here? I hope not! With U.S. freight trains, piloted by U.S. staff, carrying U.S. oil, coal and deadly Canadian chlorine gas around Boundary Bay at faster speeds than last week’s Lynchburg derailment, need you wonder? They travel over a rail bridge, on First Nation land, that is in shocking disrepair, alongside the beaches where 19 people over the years have lost their lives being struck by a train, on a track that is 100 feet

below an unstable mud bluff and inaccessible to first responders from land or sea and with no spillage containment, and across a 100-year-old swing bridge. Worst of all, they travel this dangerous route that is home to one of the most densely populated municipalities in B.C. and one that provides rare access to spectacular public beaches south of the Fraser. If you want a more positive outlook on this area’s potential, check out www.southfraserpark.ca and maybe even jump on the bandwagon – any bandwagon – and make the Semiahmoo Peninsula a safe, wonderful recreational location for one and all to enjoy, ‘sans’ trains. If you care, you could write to Lisa Raitt, federal minister of transportation, or other politicians in your area. It would be nice to see a picture of her looking over our pristine beaches making an announcement that three levels of government have got together to assure that this area which has “the absolute highest environmental rating” will be protected forever for the use of all future Canadians and other visitors. This could become the “South Fraser Seawall,” and you could have a part in making it happen! Susan Potzold, White Rock

MODERN DENTISTRY WITH GENTLE CARE

No more job action announced The union representing City of White Rock workers are keeping a tight lid on what’s next – if anything – in terms of job action. CUPE 402-01 president Mike Guraliuk said Tuesday that an overtime ban went into effect Monday, but beyond that, “we’re not announcing any job action quite yet.” The union initiated strike action on Friday with a picket line and rally outside city hall.

Dr. Farid Alenabi • Dr. Anthony Wong We Strongly believe in delivering the highest quality dental care

The move followed 72-hour notice that was issued on April 28, after mediated bargaining did not bring the two sides to an agreement. Guraliuk said Friday that the union has promised to give the city 24 hours notice of pending job action. Asked Tuesday if that promise remains true, he said, “right now, yes.” – Tracy Holmes

‘Not the end of the world’: farmer i from page 1 Half of the land is used for lettuce – from romaine to iceberg, all grown from seed – which Yue said makes James’ Garden one of the province’s largest growers. Squash is his second-biggest crop. The produce is largely sold wholesale to local buyers, as well as to others in Alberta. Yue estimates the storm wiped out lettuce that would have filled 4,500 cases – more than 100,000 heads in all – and set his leek crop back months. That pricier vegetable would have been harvested mid-July. Now, it won’t be ready till late fall, possibly as late as November. The lettuce harvest, typically ready for the end of May, has also been set back. “The whole of June is wiped out, too, now,” Yue said. “I won’t have any until July.” He is thankful he delayed planting additional squash a week ago. If he hadn’t, his losses would have been deeper. Last weekend’s rainstorm was described as a “100-year event.” Of the 91.6 mm recorded, 86.2 mm fell on Sunday – much of it over a short time span. The volume over a 24-hour period was more than what typically falls over the entire month of May. Yue’s crops were not the only ones affected. Mike Nootebos of Mary’s Garden, in the 15600-block of 40 Avenue,

James Yue estimates the rainstorm has cost him more than $100,000. also lost produce to the storm. His loss is “in the thousands,” but nowhere near that experienced by Yue, Nootebos said. Once Mary’s Garden is open for the season – in about a month – customers may notice things like lettuce or spinach at times missing from the selection, he said. “We planted two patches (of lettuce), one was flooded, the other one’s fine,” Nootebos said. “There’ll be a gap for a week where we’ll be out of… about a half-dozen items.”

Both Yue and Nootebos said they are not letting the losses dampen their spirits. “You just kind of look ahead and carry on. You have to,” Nootebos said. Yue, who started working the land with his parents when he was six, agreed. “You feel defeated at first,” he said. “Then you look at the bright side. “I’ve got my family – that’s the most important thing. It’s not the end of the world.”

Cardiologist one in five who specializes in field

Doctor comes to Peninsula Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

The Semiahmoo Peninsula has a new cardiologist onboard – and she’s one of few who specializes in her field. Dr. Jiao Yang will be working with a team of doctors at Live Well Medical and Exercise Clinic in South Surrey’s Windsor Square focusing on her subspeciality in cardiac rehab and prevention. “That makes me one of five cardiologists who does cardiac rehab and prevention (in the province),” she told Peace Arch News last month. Through the clinic – which also has locations in White Rock and Kerrisdale – Yang will treat those who have previously had heart issues, including heart attacks. After recovery at the hospital is complete, patients can come to the clinic and enroll in a cardiacrehab program, with an exercise clinic located next door. Yang will also focus on prevention for those with health issues that

could lead to heart disease, including obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. The integrated, multidisciplinary clinic will include five family doctors, an internist, a vascular surgeon and psychologist. “We’ll have a lot of people at our disposal,” Yang said. “I’m very proud that I get to work with a very disciplined group of individuals.” Yang was drawn to the community after her mentor and former Peace Arch Hospital cardiologist Dr. Sam Chang, encouraged her to visit the Peninsula. “The thing that drew me here was the people. It was the perfect fit,” Yang said. “There is a need here. There is no cardiologist in South Surrey/White Rock proper. People have to go to Langley or Surrey. “This cuts down that travel time. Why go all the way there, when you can skip the hassle and stay in your community?” Yang aims to have the private clinic open by the end of the month.

Cloverdale’s Arianna Hunsicker, 10, is able to enjoy her favourite activities thanks to CHAMPs.

Custom-made tool helps Cloverdale girl stay active

Providing a helping hand Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

A Cloverdale girl is proving that her partial left-hand amputation won’t slow her down. Arianna Hunsicker was born with a smaller hand that could not grip many items, but that hasn’t stopped the 10-year-old from enjoying an active lifestyle. And now, Arianna has received a boost from the War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program. The charitable organization created a custom-made tool for Arianna that allows her to grab on to her bike, her badminton racquet and much more. The tool has also made Arianna an ambassador for those with amputations. By sharing her story, the Adam’s Road Elementary student has been been bringing awareness to amputations and ending common misconceptions. Arianna recalled initial comments and reactions from her classmates when they saw her amputation. Over time, she said, people have

become more accepting and understanding. “All my friends when I first met them were a bit weird about it, but now they’re used to it and think of me as normal,” she said. “Some people say that I can’t do things that well, but I prove it to them that I can do it and they’re impressed. “I feel pretty good about sharing my story. I don’t let people put me down about my hand.” The program has been a constant stream of support for Arianna, and will cover the cost of any prosthetic that she would need. “They’ve been amazing. The cost of making things like this is very expensive,” mom Andrea said. “With Arianna, she had specific needs that she wanted to use the tool for. The most important was that she wanted it to look like a real hand.” Prior to the custom tool, Arianna had never had a full hand. Up until she turned eight, she had no tool at all. It was only in recent years that she had used

prosthetics, including a hook. “So her latest wish was for something that looked more real,” Andrea said. Now that she has tested out the tool on her favourite activities, Arianna is exploring what else she can do, including some basics, like styling her hair. “As a female and a 10-year-old, that’s important stuff. She can hold a brush in one hand now and the hair dryer in the other. “So now it’s like, ‘OK, what else can we do?’” Andrea said. The prosthetic hand has also given Arianna a boost in confidence, which will help when she rides on the CHAMP float in the 2014 Hyack International Parade in New Westminster on May 24. “When I wear this, I can just act casual. I don’t need to hide or anything, because it’s just me and myself,” she said. “I don’t care what other people think.” For more information on the CHAMP program, visit wwww. waramps.ca or call 1-800-2503003.

New event aims to bridge age gap

File photo

Skaters & Scooters is scheduled for May 14.

In an event aimed at bridging the age gap between youth and seniors on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, Surrey RCMP and the City of Surrey will host Skaters & Scooters next week. In addition to scooter and skateboarding safety tips, the May 14 event (from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.) will include demonstrations by some of the world’s best freestyle skaters, who are in town from as far away as Japan for the World Freestyle Skateboarding Roundup, set for the May long weekend. South Surrey RCMP Const. Troy Derrick said Skaters & Scooters was organized to mark Police Week (May 12-18), which is focused on promoting

police in the community. Both means of transportation are subject to the same rules of the road, he noted. Skaters & Scooters will take place in the upper parkade of Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, in the 1700-block of 152 Street. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., scooter users and those thinking about getting a motorized chair can learn about safe operation and control and test their skills on a fun course. A strawberry tea will take place from noon to 2 p.m., followed by skateboarding tips and demos from 2-4 p.m. Pro skater Kevin Harris will be a featured guest.

1. Get Independent advise on your financial options – We are Mortgage Agents and are not tied to one Lender or one product. My goal is to help you successfully finance your home. I get to know you, your needs and your homeownership goals so that I can ensure that you are in a mortgage/product that matches your every need. We will decide together on what’s right for you and your family. 2. Save time on Rate shopping – Your job is not to organize appointments and try to find out what the competing rates are out in the market place. That is my job. Your time and energy should be spent house-hunting. We work with many Lenders, and we can quickly narrow down a list of those that suit you best. 3. I Negotiate on your behalf – I deal with negotiating the rate and products directly with the Lenders; I am dedicated to finding the right mortgage solution for you. 4. More Choices – I have access to a network of major Lenders in Canada, so your options are extensive. Along with traditional lenders, we also know whats being offered by credit unions, trust companies, and other sources. 5. Ensure that you are getting the best rates and terms – Even if you currently have a mortgage or pre-approval with your institution you are not obliged to stop shopping. Let me investigate and see if there is a better rate, product or alternative that better suits your needs. 6. No Cost to you – There is absolutely no charge for my services. How can I afford to do that, like many other professionals services such as insurance, mortgage brokers are generally paid a finder’s fee when we introduce you to a financial institution. These fees are quite standard and nearly industry-wide so that the focus remains on you my client. 7. Ongoing Support and consultation – Even once your mortgage is signed and paperwork is complete, I am here for you if you need any advice on closing details and future needs. My goal is to establish long term relationships with my clients and assist them as their needs change throughout their life. My clients come back to me for advice during their mortgage term so that I can align their mortgage repayment and strategy with their other financial goals. I am very committed to finding the right solutions for my clients that go beyond just getting a good interest rate. I work for YOU not the bank.

First Nations attempt to delay and block oil pipeline

Plans for legal challenge Black Press

The North Vancouver-based Tsleil-Waututh First Nation is going to court to attempt to delay and block Kinder Morgan’s proposed twinning of its Trans Mountain oil pipeline. The band is targeting the National Energy Board’s review of the project, which would result in a five-fold increase in the number of oil tankers passing through Burrard Inlet. The group will allege in Federal Court that the federal government and NEB both failed to adequately consult them on the planned environmental assessment and regulatory review of the project. “We will fight this unilateral and one-sided review process and this project with all legal means,”

Kinder Morgan Canada photo

An oil tanker docked at Kinder Morgan’s Westridge Marine Terminal in north Burnaby. Tsleil-Waututh spokesman Rueben George said. The band says its elders will be cross-examined by Kinder Morgan lawyers, but company experts and representatives won’t have to

testify under oath. The NEB would begin hearing aboriginal evidence in hearings starting this August and full oral hearings on the project would start in early 2015. The $5.4-billion project would twin the 60-year-old oil pipeline that runs from northern Alberta to Burnaby, nearly tripling capacity to 890,000 barrels per day. The second 1,150-kilometre line would carry mainly diluted bitumen for export to Asia. The band says tanker traffic would make oil leaks or spills inevitable and the risk of a catastrophic one is unacceptable. The Green Party of Vancouver also said it will press for a plebiscite as part of the November municipal election on Kinder Morgan’s planned expansion.

Speakers spar on Southlands Jeff Nagel Black Press

An innovative compromise or a dangerous precedent. That’s what Metro Vancouver directors will have to decide after hearing speakers for and against a controversial proposal to build 950 homes on historic Tsawwassen farmland. Advocates of the Southlands development argued at the May 1 public hearing it will be a sustainable, positive housing project for Delta that preserves 80 per cent of the agricultural land for farming, habitat or park space. Opponents warned it will encourage other developers to demand similar deals in order to lucratively develop Metro farmland. “Close this Pandora’s box before it’s too late,” one said. The proposal by Delta council to redraw the urban containment boundary in Metro Vancouver’s regional growth strategy

and redesignate the 217-hectare Southlands property from agricultural needs a two-thirds majority vote of Metro’s board to pass. Former Delta South MLA Val Roddick called the compromise one that strikes a fair balance and ensures

much of the land is actually farmed. “The pressure of growth on the entire Fraser Valley has created an enormous necessity for creative thinking,” Roddick said. Patrick Condon, chair of UBC’s urban design

program, called it a potential model to shift some land into public hands and improve regional food security. The Metro board is accepting written submissions until May 9 but it hasn’t indicated when a final vote on the project will be held.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Concerningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; letter on price of garbage-fired power

Fears grow over incinerator Jeff Nagel Black Press

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing trepidation among Metro Vancouver politicians that BC Hydro may not pay as much as the regional district has assumed for electricity from a future new garbage incinerator. The plan to burn more garbage to generate power and stop landfilling waste near Cache Creek has been under fire from critics, who say Metro is wrong to assume in its updated business case that garbage will qualify as a Derek Corrigan clean, renewBurnaby mayor able power source worth $100 per megawatt hour â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â four times higher than market prices for conventional electricity. An April 30 letter from BC Hydro energy planning vice-president Doug Little cautions Metro that Hydro has made no commitment to buy power from a new plant but is willing to explore the potential value of the electricity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The energy prices that have been quoted by Metro Vancouver are not necessarily for comparable product under comparable supply/demand conditions,â&#x20AC;? his letter said. Little said new waste-to-energy power doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t qualify under existing purchase programs and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t part of Hydroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s base resource plan for securing new power sources. Vancouver Coun. Andrea Reimer called the letter â&#x20AC;&#x153;concerning.â&#x20AC;? The Metro board voted Friday to accept the updated business case for the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planned waste-toenergy expansion, but they also want staff to gather more information.

File photo

A crane operator loads garbage. The board wants an analysis of the waste-to-energy and landfill technology options based on various Hydro purchase prices and other factors, such as the cost of shipping garbage to a new site in or out of the region. Directors also want to know what impact the same options would have on efforts to recycle more, as well as the greenhouse gas emissions from both landfilling unrecyclable garbage or using any of three short-listed waste-toenergy technologies. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan warned Reimer and others against backsliding on Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2009 decision to pursue expanded wasteto-energy, particularly after substantial amounts have been spent and proponents have spent much time and money in the multistage bidding process. He also insisted a decision to proceed with waste-to-energy should not depend on its economics beating out a landfill alternative. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made a decison regardless that we were getting out of landfilling,â&#x20AC;? Corrigan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Power is not the purpose of this facility. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re building it because we want to stop waste going to landfills.

Electricity is a byproduct.â&#x20AC;? He said â&#x20AC;&#x153;everybody knowsâ&#x20AC;? that not all waste can be recycled, so opponents of waste-to-energy in effect support landfilling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; burying the problem in the ground for future generations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be realistic, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to landfill,â&#x20AC;? Corrigan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The price is not being paid in carbon dioxide by you now, but over a thousand years.â&#x20AC;? The regional district hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disclosed exactly what price it needs from Hydro for the project to remain viable. Capital costs of a new incinerator are estimated at $424 to $517 million, depending on whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built to burn 250,000 or 370,000 tonnes of garbage per year. The larger size is needed if Metro only manages to recycle 70 per cent of its waste, up from 58 per cent now, while the smaller size may be enough if recycling rates hit 80 per cent. Fraser Valley Regional District politicians, who oppose a new incinerator, said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking the Hydro response as a sign the province wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t force other power users to subsidize Metro by allowing a premium price needed to make a new plant viable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only has Metro Vancouver clearly overestimated the dollar value that it can secure from BC Hydro to bolster its flawed business case, but they have also routinely played down the health implications associated with burning garbage,â&#x20AC;? said FVRD board chair Sharon Gaetz. Metro staff say thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ample time to gather more information. The region intends to shortlist proponents and potential sites ahead of issuing a final request for proposals in mid-2015. The winning bidder would be picked by mid-2016 and the new plant would open in 2019.

Incoming BC NDP leader to focus on job creation

Resource development pitched Tom Fletcher Black Press

John Horgan put on steeltoed boots for his first public appearance as BC NDP leader, to emphasize his support for the jobs created by natural resource development. Speaking to reporters last Friday after a tour of the Western Stevedoring port in North Vancouver, Horgan repeated his wait-and-see position on the proposed expansion of the TransMountain oil pipeline from Alberta to Burnaby, and emphasized his support for liquefied natural gas development. He said the BC Liberal government has placed too much emphasis on LNG exports, and it’s been “giving away” the province’s natural resources. “For the past 12 years the BC Liberals have seen a decrease in value from our resources coming back to the Crown, which means less financial resources for health care, for education and vital social programs,” Hor-

now and I intend, over the next three years, to change that.” Premier Christy Clark left Friday for her fifth LNG sales trip to Asia, visiting Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong in

an effort to close more investment deals. Earlier last week a joint venture agreement was signed by Shell, PetroChina, Mitsubishi and Korea Gas to develop an LNG export terminal at Kitimat, with final investment decisions still up to two years away. Horgan said the broad support for his leadership shows he has healed divisions over balancing economic growth with environmental protection. He added he will meet this summer with former premier Mike Harcourt, who quit the party in April over its performance in the 2013 election. Asked last week about the acclamation of Horgan after veteran MLA Mike Farnworth dropped out of the leadership, Clark said having a vigorous debate over leadership is “a sign of a healthy party. “I wish him luck,” Clark said. “It’s easier to go through unopposed but I don’t know if it helps you.”

In his pre-election budget last year, Finance Minister Mike de Jong raised corporate income tax one point to 11 per cent, half as much as Dix had proposed, and raised personal income tax for those earning more than $150,000 by 2.1 per cent for two years. Dix said it’s frustrating not to be in government to deal with issues he championed, such as worker safety after a series of fatal incidents involving farm and sawmill workers.

‘Gift of health’ helps improve outlook for premature babies

Breast milk donors needed Jeff Nagel Black Press

Lactating mothers are urged to consider donating some of their milk to help others who aren’t able to breastfeed their own babies. Fraser Health has opened 10 new human milk donation depots at public health units in Hope, Agassiz, Mission, Langley, Cloverdale, Guildford, North Surrey, New Westminster, Port Moody and Burnaby, in addition to existing ones in Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Maple Ridge. Women who have been screened can collect breast milk at home, freeze it and donate it at those locations. It’s transported to the provincial milk bank at BC Women’s Hospital where it’s pooled, processed and pasteurized. Most of the donated milk goes to feed premature and sick babies in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) who are at high risk of illness and infection. “With Mother’s Day just around the corner, we are asking all breastfeeding moms to consider giving the gift of health to our most fragile patients by donating their breastmilk,” said Fraser Health project development nurse Sidney Harper.

This fly in safari will visit three completely different and phenomenal ecological areas of Botswana: the Kalahari Desert, the Okavango Delta, and the Linyanti Reserve. Each area offers a totally new wildlife experience, because the environment is so different in each! For example, woodlands habitat attracts a different mix of mammals than the Namib desert, and the wetlands of the Okavango Delta will be different again! We stay in intimate, boutique-style camps, available only to small groups and individuals, in some of the best locations in the national parks. Our game drives will be in open 4 X 4 landrovers, with expert trackers and rangers. We’ll glide through the waterways in mokoros, and enjoy walking safaris with our local tracker. We start in the Kalahari, where the summer rains will bring the grasses and plains to life, with hundreds of springbok, gemsbok and wildebeest, which in turn attract the major predators, such as lion and cheetah. Then we fly by light aircraft on to the Okavango Delta, and stay at Little Vumbura Camp. This beautiful tented camp only accommodates 6 couples. Game viewing is consistently good all year with elephant, sable and buffalo along with extensive plains game. It’s also home to ample predators: lion, leopard and cheetah.

We say goodbye to Botswana, and travel on to the stunning Victoria Falls in Zambia. Then its off to Cape Town! We enjoy three nights in Cape Town, with tours to Cape Point and around the city, and finish off with two nights in Stellenbosch, in the heart of the Cape Winelands! This safari will be amazing – I find Africa changes people forever – join me on this wonderful trip of a lifetime!

Fans of Surrey author Lorna Suzuki’s adult fantasy novels will see Imago Chronicles: A Warrior’s Tale in movie theatres in 2015. Boaz Joseph photo

Surrey’s Lorna Suzuki adult fantasy novel will be in movie theatres in 2015

Author explains the way of the novel Boaz Joseph

Black Press

ifferent worlds can be daunting for strong, independent women. Worlds can offer epic challenges, as well as opportunities to overcome almost impossible odds. In one such world, a halfhuman, half-elf is shunned by both races while she battles evil armies with her samurai sword. In another world, a largely unknown author of independently published epic adult fantasy novels is approached by major movie producers to put one (incidentally, about a half-human, half-elf) on the big screen. The latter is what happened to Surrey’s Lorna Suzuki, a martial artist and writer who penned Imago Chronicles, the stories of Nayla Treeborn’s epic journeys in action packed, character-driven fantasy world.

It was almost by accident that action-based. an independent filmmaker Imago Chronicles: A Warrior’s once watched a martial-arts Tale, now in pre-production, will demonstration by Suzuki and her be in the epic fantasy realm, a husband, Scott White, on MTV hybrid of Lord of the Rings, The Canada, in which Suzuki used one Last Samurai and 300. of her own books as a weapon.

author literally overnight. She wrote the sequel, Tales From the East, the following year. That might have been the end of it, explains Suzuki, but “people asked for a backstory.” That, in turn, became A Warrior’s Tale, which, assuming a trilogy would be financially warranted, will be filmed first – to keep the stories chronological. Suzuki says coming up with ideas for Nayla Treeborn wasn’t difficult. “I don’t think about writing… I just write,” says Suzuki. “I scheme up what treacheries I’ll subject my characters to and then I can only equate it to watching as a movie unfolds in my mind. In many ways, I’m merely recording the events and dialogue, if that makes any sense.” Those events and dialogue of the half-elf, half-human warrior continue in the another book series which Suzuki is co-writing with

her 16-year-old daughter Nia. That series, called the Dream Merchant Saga, is geared towards young adults. In the meantime, Suzuki is an advisor to the screenwriters, and feels fairly confident about the process. “Scary fun, if you like this sort of sensation,” she says. “But in many ways, I have complete and utter faith the film adaptation of my fantasy series is in good hands with this production team.” “Gandalf said it best in the movie Lord of the Rings when anticipating the great battle to decide the fate of all: ‘It’s the deep breath before the plunge.’ “ Lorna Suzuki’s Imago Chronicles: A Warrior’s Tale, is available on Amazon.ca For more information, visit www.newmobileme.com/ imagochronicles9 or email imagobooks@me.com

Weigenlied in the program. Other selections range from Elvis Presley’s The Wonder Of You to Reba McIntyre’s When You Have A Child. Simmons said he and Da Vaughn find they relate to the music differently since becoming parents themselves (their daughter Cassandra just celebrated her third birthday) and the timing of concert is also very significant to him as the first Mother’s Day since his own mother passed in December. “It’s a chance to give thanks,” he said, adding he will also sing “a lovely piece – A Mother’s Love, by Amy Jill Jordan and Stephen MacKinnon.” But it wouldn’t be a SimmonsDa Vaughn concert without having a little fun with the theme, either, which is where Croft and Da Vaughn’s rendition of The Mom Song comes in. “It’s a wonderful duet for them, written by the comedienne Anita Renfroe, which includes everything a mom finds herself saying over the course of a day, to the tune of the William Tell Overture. And then there’s Ernie K-Doe’s 1950s rhythm and blues novelty Mother-In-Law, which Simmons hopes will be taken in the humourous spirit in which its intended. “Debra’s mother is going to be there, and I have a wonderful relationship with my mother-in-law, so I’m going to have to be careful when I introduce that one,” he laughed. Tickets ($15,) are available from 1-800-838-3006 or online at www. mammamia.brownpapertickets. com

Arts Reporter

Even before Christopher Simmons and Debra Da Vaughn began their current season of concerts at St. Mark’s Anglican Church in Ocean Park, the idea of a Mother’s Day concert had been in the back of their minds. After the well-known husbandwife, soprano-tenor team joined the congregation, they put on “a couple of random concerts,” Simmons said, which led to the idea of building an annual series around such holidays as Remembrance Day, St. Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day. He remembers it being suggested at that time that it would be wonderful if – in addition to the expected Mother’s Day tributes – they could find some way to include mothers who have lost children. “We hadn’t heard of anything focusing on that or even recognizing that,” Simmons said, adding that such a segment, including selections from composers as varied as Gustav Mahler and Eric Clapton, has become part of their first Mother’s Day concert program, this Sunday at 3 p.m. at the church, 12953 20 Ave. But Mamma Mia! – which reunites them with such versatile colleagues as mezzo soprano Tamara Croft, baritone Andrew Greenwood, pianist Karen LeeMorlang and guitarist Francis van Roode – is a lot more; a celebration of all the aspects of motherhood drawn from a very wide range of classical and pop melodies. “We wanted to put a whole con-

cert together with music about mothers, but it’s actually harder to find than you might imagine,” he said. Hence a concert that veers all the way from country music to German art songs, with excursions into the classic and unabashedly sentimental mother archetypes of Italian and Jewish culture: Cesare Andrea Bixio’s Mamma, sung by Simmons, and Jack Yellen and Lew Pollack’s My Yiddishe Momme, sung by Greenwood. “There’s actually a lot of mother songs in the country idiom, so we’ve drawn some from there, including a beautiful piece by Martina McBride that Debra is singing, In My Daughter’s Eyes,” Simmons said, adding that Da Vaughn will also venture into Celine Dion territory for Miracle. “And a lot of German lieder are about being a mother, or in praise of mothers,” he said, noting the presence of Richard Strauss’ Fruhlingslied, Johannes Brahms’

Incident remembered in play

Komagata story shared on stage Performing The Komagata Maru: Theatre and the Work of Memory comes to the Surrey Arts Centre stage tomorrow (Friday), exploring how and why the Komagata Maru incident has been remembered by Canadian playwrights. It was 1914 when a ship carrying more than 350 would-be immigrants from South Asia was turned away from Vancouver and all but 24 were refused entry to Canada. On the ship’s arrival months later in Calcutta, police intervened and a riot ensued, with 19 of the passengers killed. The event will explore three plays written about the incident by Canadian authors: Sadhu Binning and Surrey playwright Sukhwant Hundal’s Sumundari Sher nal Takar (which will be in Punjabi), Sharon Pollock’s The Komagata Maru Incident (in English), and Ajmer Rode’s Komagata Maru (in Punjabi). Subtitles will be shown for

each, making the presentation entirely bilingual. A single program will integrate sections of the three plays to explore how and why we remember the Komagata Maru, and how the creative arts augment and enhance the traditional historical archive. Students in the department of theatre and film at UBC will perform short selections from Pollock’s play, while members of the Surrey-based theatre group “Rangmanch Punjabi Theatre” will perform selections from the two Punjabi plays. The play, as well as the ongoing art show Ruptures in Arrival at the Surrey Art Gallery, mark the 100-year anniversary of the Komagata Maru ship’s arrival off the coast of Vancouver. For more information on The Komagata Maru and the Work of Memory, or for tickets ($10 per person) for the May 9 performance, call 604501-5566 or go online to www.tickets.surrey. ca

Italian play to run until May 11

Comedy on Surrey stage A zany tale of love, mistaken identity and farce – The Servant of Two Masters – is on stage in Surrey until Saturday. The Italian play by Carlo Goldini, has been adapted by Oded Gross and Tracy Young for the May 7-11 production, produced by Shadows and Dreams Theatre Company in concert with the Royal Canadian Theatre Company and the Arts Council of Surrey. With the props borrowed, the costumes unfinished, the support staff laid off and the director run off with one of the actors, the audience will find themselves in the middle of a rehearsal that unexpectedly becomes a performance.

The show, directed by Frank Nickel, features Nigel Brooke, former Newton resident Nicole DesLauriers (who plays the role of Brighella, and is choreographer) and Surrey teacher Mark Vandenberg (as Pantalone). Also featured are Tony DeMatteis, Joel DeStafano, Aidan Drummond, Uriah Field, Patricia Johnson-Brooke, Mark Manning, Kerri Norris, Allen Pike and Karen Pike. The show is on the Newton Cultural Centre (13530 72 Ave.) stage Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., with a 2 p.m. matinee Sunday. Tickets ($20) are available by calling 1-800-838-3006 or online at servant. bpt.me

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Skylar Sheehan has turned a strong hoops season into a college scholarship

Hoops star follows in father’s footsteps Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Skylar Sheehan is going into the family business – but still carving his own path along the way. The Semiahmoo Secondary basketball star committed earlier this month to the University of Calgary Dinos, entering the same Canadian Intercollegiate Sport (CIS) ranks that his father, Dave, did in the early 1980s. From 1981-86, the elder Sheehan played for legendary coach Ken Shields at the University of Victoria – winning five straight national titles – and though he still has some ties to the Vancouver Island school, he never expected his son to follow directly in his path. “I’m extremely proud and extremely happy for him,” Dave said, adding that he is still friends with UVic’s athletic director and assistant basketball coach. “Calgary showed the most interest in him, and had a spot for him. I told him, ‘If the coach likes you, if he believes in you… then that’s a good sign. “You don’t want to go to a school where they’re taking you just to fill out the last spot on a roster. You want a chance to play.” Skylar, a six-foot-five shooting guard, said while he briefly considered other CIS options – including UBC and, briefly, Victoria – Calgary was the most logical choice. For starters, the team, which had a veteran-laden roster last year,

will have a handful of open roster spots in the fall, so he’ll have a chance to play. He also gelled well with the coaching staff and other players during a visit to the Calgary campus earlier this year. “They have some pretty good players on the team right now – they’re all really nice guys,” said Skylar, who will head to Cowtown this summer to help out at a handful of youth basketball camps, before settling in for good in time for the fall semester. Though he grew up hearing stories about his dad’s nationaltitle winning basketball squads, Skylar didn’t focus solely on the hardcourt growing up. He played baseball, lacrosse, “and soccer, a little bit,” he said. He, like many Canadian youngsters, also had a keen interest in the country’s unofficial national game – “I used to watch a lot of hockey,” he said – before focusing on basketball when he arrived at Semiahmoo in Grade 8. “That’s when I really started getting serious about it,” Skylar said. This year, the Grade 12 guard was key part of the Totems’ turnaround on the court. The team had struggled in recent years, but this season were among the more competitive teams in the city, losing the Surrey championship to the Tamanawis Wildcats. They were especially good after the Christmas break, at one point reeling off 10 straight victories between the RCMP Basketball i see page 40

Glen Johnson among team recognized last week

Veteran Whitecap honoured at BC Place Kolby Solinsky Black Press

March 5, 1974. Vancouver kid Glen Johnson, at the tenderby-perspective age of 23, is named the Whitecaps’ man of the match at the end of a 2-1 loss to the San Jose

Earthquake. Both the Caps and the Quake were playing their firstever games in the league then known as the NASL, in front of 17,000-plus at Vancouver’s Empire Field.

Last Saturday – 40 years later, nearly to the day – Johnson stood on the green at BC Place, honoured in front of his home crowd. New faces, a new generation, a new result (the Whitecaps

beat San Jose this time, 3-2) and a new league name, but the memories flooded in. “I was ready to go,” he said, adding that the national anthems were his pre-game pump-up when he played.

RDAY SATU

“To get absolutely absorbed into focusing… to block everything else in your life out and be on the field and only on the field,” he said, “I got revved up at anthem time.” Johnson

Focus on his game i from page 39 Classic tournament and the city final. “As soon as Skylar came in, he changed our program with his talent and his commitment,” said Semi senior boys coach Ed Lefurgy. “And Dave has been fantastic, too, and has helped me out from Day 1. “Skylar has put in a lot of hours in this gym… I can see why he’s been so successful, because those qualities and important habits have been ingrained in him by his parents.” While he’s always been quick to guide and advise his son along the way, Dave said he’s never really had to push his son to work hard. “He never needed to be told. Working hard just comes natural to him – he just likes it. He’s a perfectionist,” Dave said. In his playing days, Dave said he was a hard-working guy on a team full of nationalteam stars, but sees more talent in his son than he had at the same age. “He’s more skilled than I was at his age, has more natural talent,” Dave said. “When I played, there wasn’t much summer basketball or anything like that. We played during the season, and in the off-season you just played pick-up ball. There were no organized teams to play on, no provincial teams to play on, so it’s the 10,000-hours thing – Skylar’s just had so much more time to improve.” Both know there will be an adjustment period next season, however, since as the elder Sheehan is quick to point out, “you go from playing against your peers to playing against men.” However, Skylar isn’t focused so much on who he will be lined up across the court from, instead choosing to pay attention to his own development. “I’m not going there with too many expectations, I’m just going to focus on my own game, and getting better.”

Both Morales and Manneh scored last weekend, and are making it easy for Caps fans to forget about former star Camilo Sanvezzo, who bailed on Vancouver for Mexico last offseason. “I wasn’t a big Camilo fan,” Johnson said. “I thought he had very poor vision and I didn’t think he was a team player. There’s people that just try to create an opportunity and then they kind of go blind. “(Now) the quality’s quite good. The first touch is under

OF THE WEEK:

Then we bypassed Kelowna and headed for Beaverdell, admiring the evidence of the now defunct historic Kettle Valley railway. Then the chilling hail hit but a single glass of beer at Rock Creek restored us us. We weaved our way north along the valley, through wine country, to Penticton. “Piece of cake,” said George the next day as he looked at the route to Hope. The winding back road trail to Princeton was a joy but the last stretch home was not. First, we were hit by snow, then hail that numbed our faces as we descended from Manning Park. I thought I had made a significant anatomical discovery when it appeared that the icy wind blasting up my right nostril seemed to exit through my left ear. Of course, it could have been the hole in the left side of my helmet. There was one other little challenge. The panel failed so I had to peer at my handheld GPS to figure out what speed we were doing then shout at the top of my voice when George exceeded the posted limit. We made it safe and sound. “Next year, Sid?” “I’ll get back to you, George.”

Driveway editor Keith Morgan writes today about how a 3-day rally along picturesque B.C. roads turned him to the idea of a B.C. summer ‘staycation’. Will you do a road trip holiday though B.C. this year, and if so where to? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!

Safety Tip: As the weather continues to get warmer, drivers should expect to share the road with more motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians. When turning at an intersection, use extra caution and look out for these other road users to help keep our roads safe.

The right motorcycle for the right price a cap on the cc displacement they’re willing to get for their first bike. I had a reader write me asking what he should get. He’s 6’2”, 220 pounds and had long limbs. He didn’t want anything

higher than a 250cc though. I asked him why. He said he wanted something manageable for his first bike. With long arms and legs, a 250cc bike wasn’t going to fit him! I told him to look

and work much better with his body. What did he buy? A used 2006 Honda Shadow 750cc. And he loves it.

at cruisers, like the Harley-Davidson Sportster, Honda Shadow, Suzuki Boulevard S40, Yamaha Bolt. They might have a higher displacement but they’re going to be easy to manage

Budget Establishing a budget is probably the most important thing to outline when it comes to your new ride. If you’re buying used, this is particularly important. You might be tempted to spend an extra couple of thousand on the bike of your dreams. But if the dream bike just happens to be a nightmare and costs you an unanticipated fortune on repairs, you might find yourself in a pickle.

New or Used? There are differing benefits to buying new or used. New bikes have warranties, but a used bike that might not be too old could still have one. Is buying either way better than the other? Not necessarily. Buying used you could get a more upscale model for your budget.

Private Sale or from a Dealership? Speaking from experience, buying through a private sale can be a good way to go, especially on a budget. I found my bike on Craigslist. But if you can’t pay cash up front, dealers generally have financing or payment plan options. Private sales don’t. Dealers also have most likely done a tune-up or some service in preparing the bike for the sale.

Check the VIN through ICBC or a Trusted Database It might cost you a few extra dollars to run a bike’s VIN through a trusted database but can save you multiple headaches in the end. It will show if the bike has been in any reported accidents and detail the damage. It’ll also show if there is money owing on the bike or if it was reported stolen. Keep in mind, if the bike is from out of the country, the record likely won’t show. If you’re buying through a dealership, they might even have the bike’s history on hand for you.

The 2014 Audi A7 provides owners with a dynamic ride while saving on fuel costs. of this engine sporting a bump in torque from 406 lb.-ft. to 428 lb.-ft. Torque is what it is all about with diesel engines. The ability to get away from a traffic light and cruise along at highway speeds makes a diesel engine a rewarding vehicle to drive. Put the throttle down and this big luxury sedan just rockets away, the way a huge V8 would have in years past. The up side is that the driver gets all that power but also impressive fuel economy, something that had eluded luxury buyers in the past. The A7 is rated

at 8.7L/100km in the city and stingy 5.3L on the highway. In comparison, a 2014 Honda Civic is rated at 5.0L/100km on the highway. For fuel savings and power, the diesel is the way to go.

Verdict The Audi A7 is a lovely car; filled with sex appeal, performance, luxury and prestige but it all comes at a price. Starting at $72,900, the diesel is a $2,500 premium over the base A7. The owner could recapture that additional money over

several years of driving thanks to the improved fuel economy. This technology is also available in other, less expensive models, so don’t be too shocked by the starting price. One thing Audi does not have is a 4-cylinder diesel for the smaller and less expensive models, something both BMW and Mercedes offer. I suspect there will be one coming in short order, but for now the A7 is a prime example of Audi’s expansion into diesel transportation. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

The equivalent US model is a Mazda3s GT (automatic) at $25,995. “When we price our vehicles in Canada we look primarily at the competition and then at exchange rates with Japan. Our top priority is making it competitively priced within our market,” added Lemaitre.

Looking ahead: The bad news is that there won’t be a direct equivalent to the Mazda3i GT (2.0-litre) in Canada next year (for the 2015 model year). However, I did learn that a manual transmission will be available with the GT (2.5-litre) sold in Canada, in 2015.

Living in Harmony in Richmond with Townline By Kerry Vital

Incredible value, an amazing location and gorgeous homes combine in perfect balance at Harmony, a condominium project in Richmond from Townline Homes. “One of the major selling features of Harmony is its extremely central location,” says Chris Colbeck, vice-president of sales and marketing for Townline. “Owners will be within easy walking distance of Richmond Centre, dozens of

restaurants, elementary and secondary schools, several parks, and the Brighouse SkyTrain Station. Yet, we’re off the flight path and away from heavy traffic, so it’s more peaceful and less congested.” The interiors are luxurious in their own right, with beautiful kitchens featuring stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops and square-edge flat-panel cabinetry, and relaxing bathrooms with an oversized soaker tub and hand-set large-format polished porcelain floor tiles.

Homeowners will have several amenities on-site, including a 15,000-square-foot landscaped rooftop with a trellised zen garden, children’s play area, barbecue area and gated dog run, among many other things. Other amenities include a lounge with kitchenette, a games area and a fitness room. For more information, visit www.harmonyrichmond, stop by the discovery centre at 7180 No. 3 Road or call 604-278-3939.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Submitted photos

StreetSide Developments’ South Point Walk will be just steps from South Point Exchange and High Street, making it extremely convenient. Among the beautiful features in the homes are wide-plank laminate flooring, stainless-steel appliances and recessed pot lighting in the kitchen.

Beauty and convenience at South Point Walk By Kerry Vital

Curb appeal and a fantastic neighbourhood are just two of the many reasons why South Point Walk, built by StreetSide Developments, is garnering serious buzz in South Surrey. “This is such a great, unique location,” says Vanessa Isler, marketing and sales manager for Streetside, a division of Qualico. “It’s an urban feel in a suburban location.” South Point Walk is just steps from shopping and dining at South Point Exchange, as well as the boutiques at High Street. “There will be a walking path directly from South Point Walk to High Street,” says Isler. Homeowners will also have easy access to the U.S. border and Highway 99. Schools, golf courses and other leisure and recreation opportunities are also just minutes away. The convenient location is artfully woven into a beautifully landscaped enclave. “There’s a lot of accessibility here,” Isler says. “It’s a nice balance.” The first phase at South Point Walk will include 42 condominium homes, ranging

from 689 to 1,090 square feet. Every home includes a dedicated home office or flex/work space. Buyers will be able to take possession of their new home in November. The second phase, with 76 condos and 30 townhomes, will be released later. The exterior is distinctive and welcoming, with West Coast contemporary architecture featuring bold roof lines, cedar shingles, arched brick accents and large timber brackets, and large balconies. Ground floor homes have spacious patios and direct access to green space. “StreetSide, working with Gannon Ross Designs, has really gone above and beyond on the finishings,” says Isler. “There are nine-foot ceilings on all four floors; usually you would only see them on the ground or top floor homes. They really add to the airiness of the space.” A gourmet kitchen features classic shakerstyle cabinetry and a solid eased square-edge Quartzite countertop with a full-height ceramic tile backsplash. Stainless-steel appliances are complemented by a custom backsplash accent behind the range in either solid slab granite or marble mosaic tile. The custom-designed kitchen island in some homes is a masterstroke of convenience, and recessed pot lighting and undercabinet task lighting perfectly illuminates the space. Wide-plank laminate flooring is included throughout the main living areas, with lush

cut and loop carpeting in the bedrooms. Bathrooms are straight out of a spa, with solid slab granite or Quartzite countertops and undermount basin sinks. The ensuite features contemporary flat panel cabinetry, infloor heating and a hand-set ceramic tile tub or shower surround with marble tile accent. The second bathroom, where applicable, has shaker-style cabinetry and a deep soaker tub.

Homeowners at South Point Walk will have the use of a community garden, outdoor barbecue area and a trellised seating area with gas firepit. Inside, amenities include a fitness room and a social lounge with kitchenette. Homes start at $233,900. For more information, visit www.southpointwalk. ca, call 604-560-3238 or email sales@ southpointwalk.ca.

In Loving Memory

STANLEY FRANK “ALOYSIUS” SMITH UNCLE STANLEY, GRANDPA STAN Poet Laureate of White Rock, Punter Extraordinaire, went to the great racetrack in the sky, May 1, 2014, at 90 years of age. Right now Stanley is convincing St. Peter to put $10.00 to win on Beetlebug in the fourth. Stanley “Aloysius” as he called himself, soldiered through years of heart problems, only to succumb to what’s not supposed to kill you. He had Prostate Cancer. He asked me to tell his legion of friends – get it out: forget the “you’ll die with it, not from it” school of thought. Stanley was the classic “diamond in the rough”, rising from great poverty, virtually without education, he succeeded masterfully in career, love and friends. In the 60’s he managed the Canadian Boxing team at the Pan American Games in Jamaica. His life was starred with astonishing good luck, surviving combat while his friends fell like flies, living through the sinking of a warship to a Japanese torpedo; surviving 3 days adrift in a lifeboat in the South Seas. He won first prize on Lotto 649, only to give it all to his family. After years of losing at the track, he joked that with his lotto win, he just broke even. The only person Stanley was ever cheap with was himself. Sixty-seven years ago Stanley had the great fortune to marry his beautiful Ida. Though she is largely lost to Alzheimer’s, still alive but virtually gone, he lived with her and loved her every day ‘til his last breath. Throughout this community, Stanley Smith lit up the hearts and smiles of all he met. He left no one untouched. The halls of South Point Save-On, the Peninsula Liquor Store and Fraser Downs Racetrack will never be the same. If success is measured by the love and admiration of others, he was as successful as his friend, Jimmy Pattison. As father, father-in-law, uncle, grandpa, husband and friend, Stanley was the best there was; truly “one of a kind”. We count our lucky stars that he was ours. White Rock, indeed Canada, has lost a trueheart, a genuine Philosopher. Heaven has gained the quintessential raconteur and comedian. By the time we get there, St. Peter will surely have Stanley Smith stories.

FERGUSON, Eileen Victoria 1921-2014

Lovingly remembered by her children Susan (Brian), Sandra, Bonnie, Jack (Denny); her six grandchildren Dina, Scott, Matt, Jake, Adam, Laura; and her three great grandchildren Samantha, Cole and Jaxson. Predeceased by her loving husband Richard (Dick) Ferguson.

Eileen was raised in Victoria B.C., attended Norfolk House School and then U.B.C. in Vancouver where she received her degree in Science. Eileen and Dick married in 1943. They moved to Delta in 1949 where they raised their family. Eileen was the mrst Captain of the Boundary Bay Girl Guide Company. She volunteered for many years at the Girl Guide Provincial Headquarters and was a member of the Trefoil Guild.

OBITUARIES

BROST

GEORGE EDWARD JANUARY 2, 1939 - APRIL 19, 2014 It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of our dear father George Edward Brost on April 19th 2014 at Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock BC at the age of 75. Dad had simply an amazing life. He was born on January 2nd, 1939, and after leaving the family farm in Medicine Hat Alberta, dad served in the RCMP for 27 years, and started a family. Then, as he had a very strong work ethic, dad had another career of 14 years with The Worker’s Compensation Board of British Columbia. This job provided him with more time at home where he loved to grow vegetables, and keep the family house and grounds immaculate. He was so good at it, although his choice of work clothes were often the topic of “what is he thinking?” You see, dad didn’t like to throw things away, and would commonly use things until there was little or nothing left. He had that focused German sense of value. Some would call it “cheap”. Dad would say, “No. Frugal”. After his retirement, dad thoroughly enjoyed various activities, he was an avid and accomplished lawn bowler both at home in White Rock, and in Sun City West Arizona where he enjoyed spending his winter months. Also, when he was able, he simply loved watching his grandchildren play minor hockey, skate and participate in many various sports. In his younger years, dad was an accomplished fast-pitch baseball player, and although he never played hockey, was a respected coach both in minor hockey, and for the RCMP’s men’s team. As well as, youth baseball and men’s fast pitch. Dad simply knew how to direct people to make them the best they could be. And boy! Could he shoot a great game of pool. Golf? Not so much, but he’d try. He is survived by his wife Coreen and children Roderick (Brost), Stacey (Whalley) and Bradley (Brost), daughter in law Seongmee (Brost), grand children Brody (Whalley), Sebastian and Alexander (Brost). Brothers Lance Brost, Jim Brost. Sisters Irene Sadler, Ruby Mock, Florence Koenig, Shirley Elhart and their families. As well as step-children Paul (Hague) and Denise (Hague-Schneider), and step grand children Denyell and Brenden (Schneider), and William and Hunter (Hague). He was pre-deceased by parents Edward and Ida (Brost), brother’s Alan and Gary (Brost), and his step-daughter Charlotte (Kluftinger), and is remembered by the mother of his children Anne Kerr, and the McKenzie, Ireland, and Amelio families. Dad had many friends, and was always keen to sit, talk and listen to just about anyone; he was excellent at giving advice. All those that knew him well easily came to admire his modest, low key demeanor, and his tireless hobby of finding humor in almost anything; dad loved a good joke. Dad was simply one of the best people a person could know. Such a great man we have lost. He is gone, but will never be forgotten. A Celebration of Life Service will be held from 1-3 PM on May 10th 2014 at the White Rock Lawn Bowling Club, 1079 Dolphin Street, White Rock, B.C. Dad will later be interred at RCMP Depot Regina SK. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the RCMP Veterans’ Vancouver Division. (604-271-3051 or vandiv.vets@telus.net ).

Rest in Peace Dad, Rest

MCRAE: “CATHY” CATHERINE (NEE PATERSON) NOVEMBER 15, 1950 - APRIL 30, 2014 Cathy McRae (b. Nov 15, 1950) passed away peacefully on April 30, 2014 after a hard fought battle with cancer. She leaves behind her beloved husband and fellow travel owl, Michael. Cathy was a generous, loving human being and a powerful example for her nieces, Rae (Bruce), Kate and nephew James (Ana) and Michael’s daughters Kelly (Brad) and Alexis. She was a doting grandma to Frances and Charlotte. Cathy grew up in Winnipeg, MB. She learned to stand up for herself early as the youngest of three Paterson children. She followed her two older brothers Allan and Bob to YMCA-YWCA Camp Stephens where the Paterson family actively participated in all aspects of camp life. As the girl of the family, Cathy joined the Winnipeg YWCA and spent 6 weeks each summer at YWCA Camp Kinnaird where she was the lead member of the ‘Peppiest Girls’. Cathy distinguished herself as a synchronized swimmer and competed at the national level. She is memorialized in the Manitoba Swimming Hall of Fame. The Paterson Family relocated to BC in 1968. During this time Cathy discovered her love of travel and lived out her dream of owning and operating Hastings Travel Agency. She travelled extensively throughout her life but always looked forward to returning home and spending time at her beautiful home on Galiano Island, which she and her first husband Doug built themselves. Life wasn’t always easy, but Cathy forged a new beginning when she became a friend of Bill W. and met her soul mate, Michael. Together they actively participated in meetings and programs in Vancouver and around the world. Their leadership and support touched and inspired many to pursue new beginnings in their own lives. At the age of 40, Cathy took her own advice and went back to school. She completed high school, earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from UBC and went on to obtain a Master’s Degree specializing in addiction from Antioch University in Keene, New Hampshire. She then returned to BC and worked at the women’s program at the Aurora Centre. Cathy and Michael continued their world travels with interludes at their winter home in Casa Grande, Arizona until her very last months. Cathy’s indomitable spirit, zest for adventure, warmth and generosity touched all she met. She will be lovingly remembered by friends and family around the world. A gathering to celebrate the life of Cathy will be held in June and in lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Avalon Centre. Condolences may be offered at www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca
