Parole board did not recommend issuing a warning for man now facing murder charge
No public alert over accused’s past Kevin Diakiw Black Press
The man accused of killing a Surrey hockey mom was considered a risk of reoffending after a violent assault in Ontario five years ago. However, Surrey RCMP were not notified because the accused had served his full term, and he was free to travel the country without having the public warned about his chances of reoffending.
Yosef Jomo Gopaul, 27, was charged last week with second-degree murder in the beating death of hockey mom Julie Paskall outside the Newton Ice Arena on Dec. 29, 2013. Gopaul remains not guilty of the Surrey offence, as it hasn’t been proven in court. In 2010, Gopaul was sentenced to two years, seven months in jail after a violent assault on a woman in Brampton, Ont. Canadian Parole Board documents show he followed a woman
home from a bar on Jan. 1, 2009, and attacked her when she stopped to urinate. “Despite being intoxicated, the victim recalled ‘being struck with punches and kicks and fighting back’ and being dragged by the ‘hood of her jacket’ while she ‘was naked from the waist down,’ “ Parole Board of Canada documents say. When a witness interrupted the attack, Gopaul reportedly pushed the victim into an
icy creek and left. Gopaul denied hurting the victim. The documents indicate he is at “the high end of the moderate range of risk for general and violent recidivism” – a risk that escalates when drugs or alcohol are involved. He was released into house arrest to serve out his term, but violated the conditions of his community release 10 days later. i see page 4

Outside the Kent Street Activity Centre Tuesday, evidence that City of White Rock employees are on strike is mounting as visitors dump their disposables near the city venue’s bins.
Trash buildup hampers city property and White Rock’s neighbours
Signs of collateral damage rise from civic standoff Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Evidence that City of White Rock employees are on strike is beginning to pile up – both within the city’s borders and outside. A mountain of waste continues to grow in the Kent Street Activity Centre parking lot, where, on Tuesday, a green bin for recyclables was both overflowing and surrounded with all manner of mess – from cardboard to household garbage to a kitchen table. CUPE 402-01 staff manning the picket line at the centre told Peace

Citywide, the workers have been on the picket line full time since May 12. Garbage/recycling pickup is among the service gaps not being filled during the job action.

According to the employees outside the Kent Street centre, there have been efforts to bypass the picket lines, with collection trucks arriving at all hours of the night.
But few are getting through, they said – even between 3 and 4 a.m. they’ve found a union representative there to block them. Collateral damage of the halt in service has stretched to affect at least one South Surrey business. Semiahmoo Bottle Depot’s Heimin Lee is appealing to White Rock citizens to stop using his 24 Avenue depot as a dumping ground. There has been an influx of refuse dropped off since the strike went citywide, Lee said Wednesday. i see page 4

of $1.50 per litre have reduced driving, as the survey indicates. The oil companies come in for criticism from poll respondents, and while not all of that is deserved, the companies do not have completely clean hands. The price of fuel regularly jumps up late at night – for no good reason, other than to force people heading to work in the morning who need gas to pay more. I witnessed this firsthand at the sole gas station at Vancouver Airport Monday night. The price was $1.46 at 11:15 p.m. When I left the airport just after midnight, the price was $1.51. The prices almost always fall by four to five cents a litre by the noon hour. Those polled say oil companies often raise prices before long weekends. Another area where oil companies reap unconscionable profits is with premium grades of gasoline. While U.S. oil companies tend to charge 10 cents a gallon more for premium, in Canada, the price difference is 10 cents a litre – or about 38 cents per (U.S.) gallon. They clearly take advantage of people who do not pay attention to the difference between a litre and a gallon. If government wasn’t so complicit in keeping gas prices high, it might be worthwhile to ask it to be more vigilant about some of the unfairness in pricing. But when it comes to gas and diesel prices, all the players, including all levels of government, have dirty hands. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News.

Social issues examined through arts presentation
Students stage celebration of diversity Sheila Reynolds Black Press
Evan Seal photo
Panorama Ridge dancers tackle labels.
“Girls have to be pretty.” “Boys have to be strong.” “Girls must be polite.” “Boys have muscles.” As the words were read last week, Grade 4 and 5 students from Simon Cunningham Elementary danced on the Bell Performing Arts Centre stage, exploring the array of gender stereotypes common in society. At the end, they shouted “Diversity is our strength!” The afternoon, which featured about 500 students from several Surrey and White Rock schools, spotlighted drama, song, dance and artwork geared toward education and social change, with a theme of “personal
identity and embracing uniqueness.” Singers from Princess Margaret Secondary got the crowd pumped up with songs such as Brave, I’m Not Perfect and Bulletproof, while students from David Brankin Elementary let their “freak flag fly,” waving banners with printed words – like dance, love of animals and archery – stating what they’re proud of. The showcase, called the Vancouver Biennale BIG IDEAS Celebration, was sparked by Surrey School District’s regulation promoting inclusion and acceptance of all gender identities and sexual orientations. Collaborative drama presentations by Maple Green, White Rock and David Brankin elementaries explored complex themes such as arranged marriage and
immigration, while dancers from Panorama Ridge Secondary examined the emotional effects when a student’s gender doesn’t present as the stereotype dictates. George Greenaway Elementary students carried lanterns on stage, each stating “what makes them light up.” While some said their passion was found in various sports, others pointed to inspirational quotes, moments with their parents or a favourite band. Classroom teachers and professional artists worked with students prior to the show, which was presented May 21. The Vancouver Biennale is a non-profit charitable organization that celebrates art in public space with a mandate of using art for a catalyst for learning and social engagement.
White Rock project
$80,000 sculpture approved Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Funds for the creation and installation of a bronze sculpture celebrating the history of the White Rock train station have been approved. Following a report by leisure services director Eric Stepura, White Rock council voted unanimously Monday night to spend up to $80,000 for the artwork. The piece is to be complete and in place “no later than November,” Stepura said. Created in January, the publicart task force was directed at that time to select a piece of public art for the site. Prior to Monday’s vote, Stepura told council that only “a very small, select group of artists” create bronze statues. The pricey pieces take four to five months to make, but last “a very, very, very long time,” he said. “We feel it’s a good investment.” Designs considered for the waterfront sculpture include a conductor or family waiting for a train; or something that shows the joy of seeing a family member arrive by train. Stepura predicted the sculpture will be “highly photographed,” and that it will also boost interest in the museum. In response to a question from Coun. Al Campbell, Stepura confirmed that council will have input into the final design. Coun. Louise Hutchinson noted that the sculpture plan was devised in consultation with museum officials, including archives manager Hugh Ellenwood. Noting the final piece will be guided by the funds available, she said “it will be the best we can have for the money we have.” The funds are to come from the community public-art project budget, which currently has $90,050 available. The budget gets a $50,000 injection every year.

Senior’s campaign gets City of Surrey’s attention
Park status confirmed for horse farm Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Grandview Heights senior Sybil Rowe has scored a victory in her campaign to protect stands of old-growth trees in her neighbourhood. Rowe said she is delighted by a report, endorsed by Surrey’s parks, recreation and sport tourism committee, which recommends that nine acres of city land in the 2700-block on the east side of 168 Street be retained as “passive” park land. The report – submitted May 21 by parks planning, research and design manager Ted Uhrich – notes the Grandview Heights Community Park to the south is planned to be developed with playing fields and other “active park infrastructure.” But he suggested the former horse-farm property, championed by Rowe, could be “kept in a somewhat more natural state and be used for a mixture of passive activities such a picnicking and playgrounds. “Given the mature trees on the site, and the meadow-like areas contained within the property, the park would be an ideal site for activities that are difficult to achieve on a site with active playing fields.” A site survey, arbourist report and environ-
mental survey have been commissioned for the space with an eye to formally planning the park as part of the Grandview Heights 5 NCP. Committee chair Coun. Linda Hepner told Peace Arch News the report was “unanimously” endorsed and has been passed on for receipt by council, with no further vote required. Hepner said it would remain to be seen exactly how the park would be planned, but said it would not be a case of clear cutting the land and replacing the forest with landscaping and re-planted trees. “Our full intention would be to protect the stand of trees,” she said. “I hope this is good news. This is an area that is developing quickly, but we want to make sure it’s an environment people can enjoy. They want it and we want it.” The news was welcomed by Rowe, 78. “I’m just thrilled,” she said. “The best part of the whole thing is that the park described is very much the same language I used in my presentation to council – it almost repeated my letter.” Rowe collected 730 resident signatures late last year in her quest to have the farm be awarded park status. She acknowledged she had previously felt “shunted around” between city council and
various committees in attempts to draw attention to the issue earlier this year. “The only weapon I had was that I wasn’t going to go away,” she said. “But I’ve always said I don’t care about the procedures, I care about the outcome – and the outcome is right. I say thank you, thank you, thank you.” One of Rowe’s issues – achieving heritage designation for the “majestic evergreens framing either side of 168 street from 24 Avenue to 32 Avenue – could not be addressed as she asked. Hepner said council could not commit to such designation now, as it would depend on engineering decisions about alignment of a widened 168 Street that can’t be made until future development plans become clearer. Uhrich’s report notes that while the road widening is not in the current 10-year plan, Surrey’s engineering department will commission a study on the impacts of road widening and the possibility of adjusting the boulevard to enhance tree protection on 168 Street. Rowe said she has already written to the engineering department to suggest a compromise on full heritage designation, provided every effort is made to save the trees. “My problem has never been with the engineering department – I trust them implicitly.”

Thin Crust Delite Pizza Police still investigate bus assault i from page 1 He was then put into a federal halfway house. After he served his full term, he came to Surrey, for reasons yet unknown. He moved here just eight weeks before Paskall was killed. Surrey RCMP were not informed that Gopaul had arrived, nor about his risk of reoffending. That information was available, but Gopaul had no previous run-ins with Surrey RCMP. When he became a suspect in the Paskall killing about a month after it happened, RCMP would have been aware of parole warnings at that time. Meanwhile, Gopaul continues to be investigated by the RCMP concerning an offence that occurred a month after he arrived in Surrey. RCMP say they are compiling evidence in the case of a woman
in her 20s who was attacked at the Newton bus exchange on Dec. 16, 2013. She was attacked as she was getting off a bus at the exchange near the Newton Recreation Centre, at 72 Avenue and 137 Street. She suffered facial injuries. Nearly two weeks later, on Dec. 29, Paskall, 53, was brutally beaten outside the Newton ice rink while she was waiting for her 14-year-old son who was refereeing a tournament. Police said at the time of Paskall’s murder they believed there may be a link between the attack on the woman at the bus exchange and the killing of Paskall. Both attacks occurred within a couple of hundred metres of each other. The Surrey RCMP explained at the time they did not send out a public release about the first attack because they didn’t believe it was severe enough or repre-
sented a trend. After Paskall’s murder, Surrey RCMP urged the public to be careful. As to adding an assault charge to Gopaul’s second-degree murder charge related to Paskall, Surrey RCMP Sgt. Dale Carr said it’s too early to know. “I can tell you that it’s certainly on our minds and certainly we’re looking at the evidence to see if we can support anything that would go forward to Crown counsel,” Carr said Tuesday. “He could be someone that is responsible, but we don’t know that yet, we don’t want to label him as a suspect yet until we have some hard facts,” Carr said. He appeared in Surrey Provincial Court on May 26, where he was ordered to stay in custody. He is due back in court on June 13.
Union ‘greets’ Meyer at city hall i from page 1 The recyclables-only depot has become “kind of like a dump yard” in the last week or so, Lee said. “We’re cleaning up every day.” Lee said he is “100 per cent sure” White Rock’s strike is behind the issue. The extra work is made even more stressful by last week’s launch of the Multi-Material B.C. system, which added printed paper and packaging to the list of accepted items. “We’re so crazy, crazy busy,” Lee said. “Nobody bring their garbage.” It was not known at PAN’s Wednesday afternoon press deadline if the day’s mediated talks had brought the two sides any closer to an agreement. Earlier this week, the employees again extended their picketing shift outside of city hall in an effort to make an impact on council members.

pickets stayed until just after all of the politicians had arrived. “The objective was to greet Coun. (Grant) Meyer,” CUPE 402-01 president Mike Guraliuk said Tuesday. “Not just him, but all the councillors – we wanted to remind them that we are here.” Meyer was the sole councillor to miss the May 12 meeting as a result of the strike. As a unionized BC Ferries worker, he would not cross the picket line. Monday, told again that the CUPE local would not give him a pass to cross, Meyer determined his civic duties took precedence. “(Guraliuk) said they’re not

A similar presence greeted attendees of Tuesday evening’s unveiling of a mural added to the exterior walls of the Semiahmoo Arts building in Centennial Park. “Not for any disruptions, just a presence,” Guraliuk said, noting he is hopeful this week’s talks make progress. “Going into these talks, out of our bargaining committee I’ve always been the optimist – and I’ve always been wrong,” he said.

DID YOU KNOW: Iron deficiency is the leading nutrient deficiency worldwide, and the #1 cause of fatigue in females who menstruate. Fatigue, rapid heartbeat, cold hands and feet, brittle hair and nails, shortness of breath, dizziness, pale skin, leg cramps, insomnia: it can be difficult to pinpoint the cause of these non-specific symptoms, so make sure iron deficiency is not one of the suspects. Did you know it takes roughly 3 months for all of your iron-deficient blood cells to die off and be replaced by new ones? It is usually not enough to take an iron supplement for just a few weeks, but nobody wants to suffer the side effects of traditional iron pills for longer than that. Try Floradix Formula, a natural, vegetarian, plant-based source of iron from Salus. Even if you haven’t tipped into true “iron deficiency”, it’s a great way to supplement your iron stores and ensure that low iron is not holding you back from getting in shape for the summer. summ su mmer er.

Pier party approved by city Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A ticketed event celebrating White Rock pier’s 100th anniversary has received the go-ahead from city council. Council voted unanimously Monday to back the pier party – a project of Semiahmoo Arts that includes a beer/wine garden – following a more detailed report on its projected costs to the city. The mayor’s support came with a caution regarding the threehour Aug. 28 event’s proximity to an active rail line in combination with the availability of alcohol. “I don’t want to see any misplaced judgment… where liquor rules over everything else,” said Wayne Baldwin. “We cannot have an event where there’s a possibility something’s going to go wrong.” Semiahmoo Arts first asked for the city’s support to use the pier for the party earlier this month. Historically, private functions on the landmark have been limited to commercial-filming uses. In addition, the arts group asked council to back their request for a liquor licence for the occasion, which is to also mark the group’s 40th anniversary. In a report to council Monday, leisure services director Eric Stepura estimated the city’s in-kind cost at $3,500. The total includes $300 in lost parking revenue, $400 to remove and dispose of related garbage and recycling, and

White Rock council has approved a party for the pier’s 100th birthday. $500 for policing. In discussing the latter, Coun. Bill Lawrence suggested the arts group rethink how much of a police presence will be needed. “There might be a necessity for more,” Lawrence said. “You’re looking at a quite long and extended piece of real estate.” Coun. Al Campbell said he supports the event “110 per cent,” but predicted policing costs “are going to be much higher.” Stepura’s report notes the estimate may change depending on the special-occasions permit, should it be approved by
the Liquor Control & Licensing Board. He added that event organizers have committed to providing certified security personnel, as well as a crossing guard at the train tracks. Tickets to the pier party – $100 per person – will be limited to 700; the first 200 feet of the pier is to remain open to the public. Stepura noted that staff support for the event does not mean the pier will be routinely used for private functions. “It’s not our intent to rent out the pier on a regular basis,” he said. “It’s a 100-year celebration.”
As part of EPCOR White Rock’s ongoing commitment to water conservation, we encourage you to be water wise. Water use is expected to increase substantially over the summer months due to warmer weather conditions and low rainfall. Please note that Stage 1 watering restrictions as outlined below will be in effect from June 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014.

The BC SPCA announced this week it will recommend charges of animal cruelty against a dog walker, after six dogs died in her care. The dogs were initially reported stolen from the Brookswood dog walking park on May 13 by dog walker Emma Paulsen. After massive search and fundraising efforts, Paulsen said on May 18 that the dogs had died in Richmond after being left in her vehicle on a hot day. Their bodies were found in Abbotsford. The BC SPCA is still completing its report, which is to be submitted to Crown counsel in the next few weeks. Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement officer for the BC SPCA, said evidence obtained so far warrants a recommendation for a separate charge for each of the six dogs. “The ultimate decision about whether or not charges will be laid rests with Crown counsel,” she said.

The future is at stake
S
tudents across the province missed a day of school this week – with Surrey and White Rock students home today – thanks to a rotating strike by teachers, as the contract dispute with the provincial government continues. This is unacceptable for everyone involved: students, parents, teachers, administrators, school districts and the provincial government. Teachers have legitimate concerns about the makeup of their classes and the extra demands being placed on them by continuing shifts in education policy. The government, for its part, has significant budgeting challenges, and teachers need to modify their wage demands – currently reported as being a 21.5 per cent increase over four years – significantly. Most importantly, both sides need to really focus on students, and not just pay lip service to the concept. The BC Public School Employers’ Association response to the job action is to lock out teachers and cut salaries by 10 per cent. This has done nothing to move the situation closer to a resolution. Strikes or lockouts – whether for a week, a day or even for a few calculated moments at a time – impact education. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation has said there will be other rotating strikes; this is simply unacceptable. The province agrees that depriving students of an education can not be condoned but is prepared, through the employers’ association, to lock out teachers at the end of the school year; equally unacceptable. The association has issued a directive that limits student-teacher contact. This is no better. Education is as essential as it has ever been. The global nature of the economy means that B.C. students will be competing with students from all parts of the world as they leave the school system. They will be competing for spaces in post-secondary institutions and for employment opportunities. Holding up their progress, for weeks or even months, due to a labour dispute will do immeasurable damage to their prospects. It might mean a difference in career opportunities and choices, restricting their future and ours. Regardless of the issues being negotiated, representatives from both sides need to compromise far more than they have thus far. Instead, it’s as if both sides are waging a popularity contest and only listening to their own yes-people, leaving our future leaders at risk.

has to brave the playground. As a youngster, it was something I was pretty insecure about. There’s nothing like having 20 pairs of eyes glued to your face as you bite into a sandwich. My little dancing peeper has proved entertaining for many prying eyes over the years. To this day, I still feel awkward eating with people I don’t know very well. Heaven forbid I bite into a big juicy burger – my eye goes mad for burgers. To correct the problem, I discovered that a surgeon would have to make a small cut in my skull and operate close to the brain stem. It would also fall under the cosmetic category, which meant having to shell out big bucks to correct the problem. Rather than have my head hacked like an Easter ham, I’ve just decided to live with it and get over myself. Throughout the years, I actually learned to embrace my eye twitch and found it can be a great party trick as well as an ice breaker at job interviews. Friends and family members tell me they don’t even notice it anymore – that it’s just something they’ve gotten used to over the years. More than just a cheap trick, I know my eye can be used as a parenting tool – a way of showing my two beautiful baby girls that they can stand out from the crowd and still be A-OK.

Surrey needs to stop insanity Editor: As a Surrey resident, I am tired of city council approving more and more residential development, then repeatedly joining the Surrey school board in blaming the province for a lack of school infrastructure. Insanity is repeating the same actions over and over and expecting a different result. Surrey needs to stop the insanity and change the dynamic between province and city. Surrey’s municipal government has some control here – they determine what development proceeds in the city. Experience shows clearly that more residential development approvals mean more children requiring more schools. Surrey’s leverage with the province centres on development: What would happen if Surrey started to reject residential-development applications in areas with no school space to accommodate new students, clearly stating this as the reason? Developers, construction workers and would-be Surrey residents would start to put pressure on the provincial government to provide sufficient funding for new schools and the expansion of existing schools. Other cities would be in the same situation as Surrey and add their weight to the call for proper funding. A. McDowall, Surrey
Negative image still has victims Editor: Re: Aboriginal Education or victim studies, May 20 column. Columnist Tom Fletcher questions the utility of a mandatory residential school course. Residential schools were the linchpin of the colonial project imposed on aboriginals by the Canadian government. Colonialism was heavily permeated by the assumption natives were culturally, morally and physically inferior to Euro-Canadians. This played out in egregious ways. In Rethinking Canada: The Promise of Women’s History, Sarah Carter writes the federal government specifically targeted aboriginal women, propagating the myth they were “idle, gossipy and intractable.” Official Department of Indian Affairs publications blamed First Nations women for slum conditions and poor health on reserves. During the North-West Rebellion in 1885, the military and media circulated stories of native women as treacherous and bloodthirsty. As a consequence, a powerful negative image of women was constructed, painting them as dangerous and “promiscuous agents of ruin.” Unfortunately, this stereotype carried on into the 20th century. I would argue the antecedent of the 1,181 missing and murdered aboriginal women is found in past government policies. Throughout history, aboriginals fought many battles with one
another and some practised slavery, behaviour many peoples across the world also indulged in. There is value in studying how the denial of the vote, criminalizing native religious practices, the 1927 outlawing of native landclaims support, non-recognition of aboriginal title and residential schools have negatively impacted First Nations, even if the only lesson learned is human rights are important to uphold. Bob Burgel, Surrey
A welcome voice Editor: Re: Stammering through to observe the niceties, May 22 column. What a delightful and interesting article. You say columnist Emily Fenton was in a high school placement program in our Peace Arch News recently. Let’s hope that when she is fully qualified, she has an opportunity to join your team. I would like to read more words from this charming young lady. M. Downey, Surrey Q I applaud Ms. Fenton for coming to terms with her stuttering at such an early age. If only I had been so courageous back then to begin the process. I hope this inspires some of the approximately two per cent of the population who have this hidden
impediment to no longer suffer in silence, as the world is now a more understanding and tolerant place for people who are viewed as different. The “beast” haunts me still on occasion, but with age and life experiences it no longer dominates me or defines who I am. Anthony Intas, B.C. Association of People who Stutter
People behind the paper Editor: It is with sadness that I hear of the passing of Judith Dodington on April 29. Judy, as I used to call her, was one of the originals – The ’77ers – working for the Peace Arch News editorial team when I was editor there from 1976-’79. Roy Jelly, who started The News, is gone, as is Eileen Toumaala, his first editorial assistant and council reporter, and one or two others, such as Edna Smith, who also covered White Rock council. Among the backroom staffers whom I remember so well was Ruth Kooyman, of whom it was said in her obit in late 2012: “She loved working at the PAN, where she was known for her attention to detail and keeping the reporters and editors in line when it came to spelling, grammar, and punctuation.” You better believe that for even as a sharp grammarian as I am – or think I am – I was often called aside by Ruth who questioned
my sentence structure or use of a subjunctive clause. History columnist Margaret Lang Hastings has also passed away. However, many of the original late-’70s staff are still with us: Marilyn Gillan, office manager, retired and living in South Surrey; Chuck Clements, production manager, living in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver; Pat Kilt, education reporter, retired provincial government communications manager, living in Ashcroft; Ann Risdon (Marrison), Surrey council reporter, living in Maple Ridge and still putting out her gardening column for many community newspapers; Jenni Thom, school board reporter, living in Crescent Beach; Ross Fairweather, Surrey council and school board reporter, retired government worker; Mary Gillis, Surrey arts reporter, retired and living on Gabriola Island; Greg Heakes, sports reporter, Agence France Presse; and, Kathy Gillan, assistant distribution manager, now a corrections officer, and her brother, Kevin Gillan, distribution manager, now in the construction business and living in Surrey. Jim Martin, who became production manager in the latter part of my sojourn as editor, was last known living in south Langley, but I have not seen him or many of the others for years. In 2016, Peace Arch News will become a 40-year-old community newspaper. Let’s hope we can have an anniversary party with as many of the “originals” as we can contact. Graham MacDonell, Abbotsford

Efforts to bypass traffic to get to the turning lane is an accident waiting to happen, writes Margaret Shearman.
Nightmare conditions for drivers An open letter to Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts. I have a concern with the intersection of 144 Street and 72 Avenue. When driving south, I have seen on numerous times, cars driving down the bike lane and even on the sidewalk to get to the turning lane. This is a very common occurrence at this intersection, an intersection that has a convenience store on that corner with a cedar hedge as a blind spot, a bus stop and an elementary school a block away.
I am angered, frustrated and scared every time I see it, and honestly it happens about 25 per cent of the time. The photo I have taken there (above) is not startling in itself, but this was actually the third vehicle in a row to drive down the sidewalk to reach the turning lane. At the very least, perhaps installing a couple of parking posts between the bike lane and sidewalk would suffice. At best, perhaps restructure this road so there is more room for people to get by safely. Margaret Shearman, Surrey

White Rock officials seek feedback from public
Green-space ideas mulled Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
White Rock officials are looking to transform a linear strip of city-owned land into something the whole community can benefit from. For longtime area residents Karen and Alf Clark, an important piece of the Centre Street road allowance puzzle is easy: keep it simple. “Something that’s low-maintenance, because we (the city) do not maintain what they plant,” said Karen Clark. The Clarks – who have lived adjacent to the road allowance for 57 years – were among about 20 people to attend a public information meeting regarding the land, which stretches between Marine Drive and Columbia Avenue. Held at the White Rock Community Centre May 8, the meeting was the second of four planned to glean ideas for the under-utilized and, in places, overgrown green space. The next was to take place this week, but has been postponed due to the ongoing strike. According to Greg St. Louis – the city’s director of engineering and municipal operations – the aim is to have a design ready for the fall, with implementation to take place in 2015. The city has budgeted $300,000 for the work – an amount St. Louis admits “isn’t a lot of money for something like this.” “We’re hearing from people… (that) they want simple, lowmaintenance,” St. Louis told Peace Arch News. “That’s what

White Rock is gathering feedback on Centre Street road allowance. we would like as well.” Challenges to the project include that over the years, portions of the land have been ‘adopted’ by adjacent landowners for their own use. In one case, a hedge added around a chunk of the road allowance significantly increases the neighbour’s private property. “One gentleman did have a permit (from the city) that was issued many years ago,” St. Louis said. The resident understands the permit can be revoked at any time, he added. So far, ideas for what to do with the road allowance have ranged from adding stairs or a vineyard to installing a zip line. “We want to hear from all residents what they want to see,” St. Louis said. “We have no precon-
ceived ideas.” Coun. Helen Fathers is chair of the task force that was established to oversee plans for the improvements. She said the idea was sparked during controversy that arose last spring after a homeowner advised the city that his plans to build on an adjacent lot meant the roots of a number of mature Douglas firs on the city’s property would be cut. While visiting the scene, “we stood there and thought, wow, it’s huge,” Fathers said of the road allowance. “That’s really when it all started.” She, too, believes the plans need to be kept simple. “We would never want to implement something that we can’t upkeep,” she said.
Man dies after falling from SUV A young man has died after falling off the back of an SUV in North Surrey earlier this month. On May 19, three men hopped onto the back end of the vehicle with the tailgate down, as it was being driven from the back of a house down a lane to the front of

critical condition, and died on May 23. Charges are being considered against the driver, a 23-year-old Surrey man. Police believe drugs or alcohol may have been contributing factors in the incident.
Q
uestion: After the death of my husband I was disconsolate, and then suddenly I fell for a dashing well dressed good-looking guy and after a whirlwind courtship we got married. I was in heaven. He had some business ventures about which he was vague but I didn’t care because I had met the love of my life. He talked to me about signing some papers at the bank. He said it was not a mortgage but a line of credit, and after the bank conÀrmed that it was “only” a line of credit I went for it. He said he was going on a short business trip, but he delayed coming back for so long I became a little concerned. I was in the bank on another matter and decided to review my statements and to my shock and horror I owed $600,000. And I found that I had signed papers making the debt a charge against my house. I was told it was not a mortgage so I am really confused.
A
nswer: You have been deceived: deliberately by your husband, and carelessly by the bank. A mortgage is any debt secured by property. Bank employees are trained to call it a “line of credit” but it is a mortgage. If you do pay it and/or not keep it current the bank can foreclose and take your home.

Local Greek community comes together to aid homeland
Sending aid Athens’ way Alex Browne Staff Reporter
In the Greek language, ‘mahi’ means fight or battle. In the case of MAHI (Mothers Assisting Humanitarian Initiatives) – founded by White Rock resident Golfo Tsakumis – it’s clearly a matter of fighting the good fight. This month, Tsakumis celebrated the assembling of a container-load of humanitarian-aid items for her native Greece at the Avra development on George Street (built by Tsakumis’ family, and where she and husband Bill now live). Tsakumis noted it is the third such shipment created by her “group of seven moms” since last September. Her organization received high-level recognition May 16, as Greek Consul General Ilias Kremmydas and Port Metro Vancouver harbour master George Giannakis came out to inspect the truckload of goods – which range from clothing, school and medical supplies to a disabled scooter – that will be shipped to Athens over the next month, expedited by Giannakis. “Things are getting
worse in Greece – there is much that needs to be done,” said Tsakumis, who was joined by MAHI secretary Christina Zambus – owner of White Rock’s Cosmos Restaurant – and other supporters, including members of the Patrides international Greeklanguage newspaper group. Economic and political chaos in Greece has been compounded by natural disasters, including a recent earthquake on the island of Kefalonia, they explained. “Children and mothers are suffering, as well as older people – our hearts couldn’t take it as mothers,” Tsakumis said of her decision to form her ad-hoc group, which was granted charitable status in 2012. “It’s great to have such help from the Greek community here,” said Kremmydas. “This initiative has put the Greek population of the Vancouver area on the world map. They are less than 20,000 people, but of all the Greek communities around the world, this is among the top five (in providing aid).” Also on hand to

Annual event to feature food and entertainment
Alex Fest marks 40 years Sarah Massah Staff Reporter
The annual Alexandra Festival will be the place to visit this weekend as organizers and the community mark the milestone 40th anniversary. The day-long event at Alexandra Neighbourhood House, 2916 McBride Ave., will kick off at 11 a.m. and will feature live entertainment on an outdoor stage, artists, crafters and other vendors and tasty treats. Simone Grewal, project coordinator at Alexandra Neighbourhood House, noted there will be some surprises in store for those who come to the festival. “We are going to have a carnival set up across the street,� Grewal told Peace Arch News Tuesday. “There will be a social media campaign and we’ll be asking families to tag or share their photos to the #MyAlexFest. Those photos are going to be used to compile a larger-scale collage that will be used for our 100th birthday, which will be in two years.� Another unique component to this year’s festival will be the

Thousands flock to the annual Alexandra Festival each year. “pop-up� youth space, which will feature couches, a mini pool table, interactive art, a mini photography show, music and more. The youth space will be manned by youth who will be taking shifts throughout the day to promote the project. And because it wouldn’t be a festival without food, to commemorate the 40th anniversary, there will be a cake cutting with Alex House executive director Penny Bradley and Surrey-Panorama MLA Marvin Hunt. For those craving more than cake, Grewal added the food
trucks will return for a second year at Alex Fest. A total of five trucks will be serving up food, including celebrity chef and South Surrey restaurant owner Vikram Vij’s food truck. Grewal estimated the event draws 2,000 to 3,000 people each year, and with sunny skies in the forecast for this weekend, organizers expect much of the same. The festival will wrap up at 5 p.m. For more, call 604-535-0015 or visit www.alexhouse.net//alexandra-festival-our-40th-year

Bill Reid’s widow, Marion Reid, holds a new sign honouring her late husband during the official dedication of The Bill Reid Millenium Amphitheatre last Thursday.
Amphitheatre also named for Cloverdale’s ‘unofficial mayor’
Street renamed for Reid Bill Reid loved his city. And now Surrey has shown one of the city’s biggest boosters a little love in return. On May 15, civic leaders unveiled the sign for the Bill Reid Millennium Amphitheatre – formerly called the Cloverdale Millennium Amphitheatre – and
formally announced the renaming of 62 Avenue as Bill Reid Way. There is also a statue of Reid being commissioned. Reid, who passed away on May 28, 2013 at the age of 78, was a former MLA, provincial tourism minister, and long-serving

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

He tells us to go ahead and have that ice cream, but perhaps only one scoop buried under berries. Or, instead of bacon and eggs, why not crumble one strip of bacon over a salad? He has a thing for acronyms and his latest is EGGS. • E stands for Eating. Yes, we all must do it to survive but it is in the way we eat, that is important. And that includes choosing what we eat and how we prepare it. As my guy did in a pas de deux created with his two hands. • G stands for Growing… the food. Realistically, that might only include a few sprigs of basil in a patio pot or a garden full of potatoes, tomatoes and spinach. There is nothing more satisfying than eating
something you have grown yourself. As summer approaches, you can take advantage of the local farmers’ markets. • G stands for Gathering – getting together with friends or family or the person you love. It is one thing to painstakingly prepare and/or grow some of the food, but it takes it to a whole new level when you are sitting at a table with someone you care about. • S stands for Sharing – the best part of the entire eating experience. What a joyful feeling it is when you cook for someone who is enjoying your efforts and utterly consumed (pun intended) by the experience. So not only does the adage ‘food is love’ ring true in any relationship, putting your EGGS in one basket may also serve you well.

Hundreds gathered at Semiahmoo House this past weekend to celebrate the best that B.C. has to offer. The annual Taste of BC’s Finest on May 24 marked 10 years the fundraiser has brought the community through the doors of Semiahmoo House for a
night of culinary fun.

YOUR BEST SHOT
Doug Tennant told Peace Arch News Tuesday. “What we really like is that it gives us an opportunity to invite the community into our building. Because the community is very good to us and supports what we do, which is helping people with developmental disabilities, and so we really like it when we can
sort of shift things around and invite people in to have a great night at our home,” he said. “It was a great night.” The night included live music from Doug Towle and band, a silent auction and a raffle giveaway for a car, which was won by Lesley Loree.

White Rock Players’ Club production set to run June 4-21
Strom returns to stage with ‘Barefoot’ role Alex Browne Arts Reporter
Neil Simon’s Barefoot In The Park premiered on Broadway in 1963, at the height of the ‘Mad Men’ era. But the comedy – about the stresses of newlywed life in a bizarrely run-down New York apartment building without an elevator – isn’t just a period piece, according to Rebecca Strom who plays romantic and impulsive new bride Corie Bratter in the White Rock Players’ Club’s upcoming production. “The core of the show is young love and what happens when the initial wonder wears off and the honeymoon phase is over – and that’s timeless,” said Strom. “Love is love and people are going to have to deal with other people, and you have to surrender part of yourself to love another person.” Co-starring with Strom is Players’ Club artistic director Ryan Mooney, switching hats to appear onstage as Corie’s new husband, proper, overly cautious lawyer Paul Bratter. “I’ve worked with Ryan before, but only as a director – I was in Matt and Ben for his Fighting Chance Productions in 2010, and last year I played in The Crucible for him in White Rock. I was Abigail – the bad guy.” Strom says she is enjoying playing opposite Mooney.
Gord Goble photo
Rebecca Strom plays Corie Bratter, with Ryan Mooney as new husband Paul in Neil Simon’s Barefoot in the Park which will run at Coast Capital Playhouse June 4-21. “The fact that he is a director means that he really knows what he’s doing as an actor – he has a lot of funny lines and he really hits them out of the park each time.” Strom said that although most of the acting work she does currently is in independent film, she still has
a soft spot for the stage. “Every time I step away from it and say I won’t do any more plays for a while, my heart aches for it,” she admits. And while she tends to play more dramatic roles, she said she enjoys the challenge of making people
laugh, in which she can draw on previous experience in stand-up comedy. “I can definitely relate to the character of Corie – of all the characters I’ve played she’s the most similar to me. She’s a lot more wild and crazy than I am, but I do
wear my emotions on my sleeve – when I’m upset about something you’re going to know it, and when I’m happy you’re going to know it. “And she’s crazy in love with her husband, and when I fall in love I fall in love wholeheartedly, with everything I am.” Strom says she’s also having a good time working with director Marko Hohlbein’s sure, inventive touch with farce, as well as a supporting cast of great comedy players, who make the most of Simon’s script. Among laugh-getters is Cindy Peterson, who plays Corie’s widowed mother, Mrs. Banks, who Corie sets up on a blind date with neighbour Victor Velasco (Raymond Hatton), an eccentric bohemian who thinks nothing of walking ledges and sneaking through his neighbours’ apartments to break into his own perpetually locked residence. Costume design is by Suzanne de Pencier, with set design by Dave Carroll and properties by Rosemary Schuster. Tickets are $18, $16 (students, seniors and Coast Capital members), and are available from 604-536-7535 or online at www. whiterockplayers.ca Barefoot runs June 4-21 at the Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. Performances are at 8 p.m., with a June 15 matinee at 2:30 p.m.

New production fun for all ages
SYTCO thinking pink Alex Browne Arts Reporter
Contributed photo
Nathalie Heath will be the artistic director.
Heath at helm of studio i from page 31 While some Dance Effect classes will be geared strictly to recreation – which Heath acknowledges is a great outcome in itself – she said she’s also concerned with providing an opportunity for students who are ready to take dance in a more professional direction. She said she plans to offer students workshops with some of the internationally recognized performers and choreographers she has worked with, and has been heartened at the willingness of professionals to help her in her venture – but not surprised. “The most successful people are often the most humble – it will always win at the end of the day,” she said. “Based on talent, you might get attention, but the people who get the jobs and continue to work, it’s because of their attitude and work ethic – not because they’re a talented, egotistical narcissist.” As much as Heath has been involved in dance competition in the past, she said she realizes the truth of what she’s always been taught – that there are more important things than winning trophies and prizes. “We can’t lose sight of the big picture here,” she said. “I’d rather have a committed group that works hard and loves it, rather than being a group that’s continually beating themselves up and getting first place. “I’m all about working hard and striving for first place, but my focus is on the growth and the constant challenge and having them excited about dance.”
Surrey Youth Theatre Company (SYTCO) artistic director Susan Pendleton hopes audiences are ready to think pink when her troupe presents Pinkalicious! The Musical this weekend. “It’s a really fun show for the three- to seven-year-old crowd,” said Pendleton, who adds that at only one hour long, without intermission, it’s a perfect family friendly treat that will keep audience members of all ages entertained without overly stretching attention spans. The show comes to the Wheelhouse Theatre at Earl Marriott Secondary (15751 16 Ave.) on Saturday, May 31 at 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. and Sunday, June 1 at 2 p.m. Based on the popular book by Victoria and Elizabeth Kann, the show tells the story of a girl who can’t stop eating pink cupcakes – and turns pink from head to toe. “It’s been the hit book for
that age group for the last three years, although I’d never heard of it,” Pendleton said, noting the show has built-in audience appea, and that this is only the fourth time the musical has been produced in Canada and is usually acted by adults rather than children. “It’s a cute little story about a girl who keeps sneaking pink cupcakes and starts to turn pink. Her parents take her to the doctor who tells her she has to eat more green food. And she’s so brightly coloured that the birds and bees and butterflies all think she’s a flower.” But Pinkalicious doesn’t heed the advice until she sneaks one more cupcake, and wakes up red the next morning. Heading the cast is Annika Ferronato as Pinkalicious. “Our lead is only eight years old – and I’m not having to give her too
much direction, because I don’t want her to change – she’s a real little spitfire,” Pendleton said. The show also provides a great opportunity for the rest of the keen cast of 10, Pendleton added. Aside from Pinkalicious’ parents, played by Cassandra Strain and Anna Haider (both the eldest at age 15), the young players are all newcomers to SYTCO this year. “I’m really letting them run with this, but it’s also a good exercise – it has to be fast-paced, but they can’t rush it,” she said. Also featured are Adam Scott as Peter, Hunter Hart as Bumblebee and Vanessa Ferronato and Samantha Palatinus as cupcakes. In addition to the shows, tickets are also available for a special ‘pink party’ following the 11:30 a.m. show on Saturday. For tickets, visit www. brownpapertickets.com

Madison Bell needs votes to move forward to the next level of the Valley Voices Vocal competition.
Cloverdale teen in competition
Local singer needs votes Alex Browne Arts Reporter
Young Cloverdale area singer Madison Bell, 12, has qualified in the top 25 for the prestigious Valley Voices Vocal Competition 2014. But to move forward to the next level she needs public votes over the next few days (May 30 - June 2) in the online performance video segment of the contest. At stake is a possible artist development deal, a professionally produced single, a photo-shoot, website and graphic design and a vocal coaching session with Dave Stroud (who has worked with One Direction, Justin Bieber and American Idol). Those who haven’t heard the diminuitive A. J. McLellan Grade 6 student’s powerful singing and seen her confident stage presence can get some idea from a video of her cover of Adele’s One and Only at the Surrey Teenfest. Her mother Michelle said the precocious performer was already singing opera to her teacher and classmates in kindergarten and did her first live singing
performance at age five in front of 500 children and parents at the school’s talent show. Bell – who also plays guitar and writes music, and loves crafting and Taekwondo – has been receiving professional vocal coaching since she was nine. “She has spent the last three years working really hard at her artistry and has a soul that is well beyond her years when it comes to singing,” Michelle said. Serious performing began two years ago and has included singing on the main stage at last year’s Surrey Canada Day celebration, opening for Victoria Duffield (herself a former Valley Voices competitor) at Chilliwack’s Party in the Park, and singing at the Cloverdale Wired Monk with local guitarist Bryden Veinot. To participate in voting for the performance video segment of Valley Voices, visit Bell’s Facebook page (https:// www.facebook.com/ madybmusic) where a link will be posted during the voting period.

with the controversial call, Mynhardt refused to dwell on it or use it as an excuse for the loss. “He’s the guy in charge and we abide by his decision,” Mynhardt said. Early in the second half, Vanier went up 15-0 on a try from winger Kristine Osachuk, at which point the Peninsula side finally returned fire. The Orcas scored two tries to make it 15-10, but that’s as close as they would get before the final whistle blew. Though disappointed not to leave Vancouver Island with the provincial banner, Mynhardt was still thrilled with his team’s performance, especially considering they were one of the younger teams in the tournament.

Some of the top athletes from South Surrey and Cloverdale are in Langley’s beginning today, vying for medals at BC High School Track and Field Championships. The three-day event begins today (Thursday) and continues Friday and Saturday at McLeod Park. As in previous years, South Surrey schools are expected to fare well – Elgin Park, Earl Marriott, Semiahmoo and White Rock Christian will also send teams to the event, as will Cloverdale’s Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary. Semiahmoo may have one of the larger contingents at the track, with a 39-member squad set to take part. “Our team has grown tremendously this year,” said Semi coach Scott Yewchuk. “It’s been exciting… this year has been fantastic.” Semiahmoo is coming off a very successful performance at Surrey championships earlier this season, which saw the school claim four banners after the Grade 8 girls, Grade 9 boys and Grade 10 girls all won their respective competitions. The school also won the overall aggregate championship. This weekend, Yewchuk expected his team to be led by its seniors – namely Chelsea Ribiero, who will run the steeplechase and 3,000-m; Richard Roberts, who will compete in the 110-m and 400-m hurdles; and Katherine Reiss, who will aim for a podium spot in the long and triple jumps. Elgin Park, meanwhile, also boasts medal contenders, including Jake Hanna, who is the defending provincial silver medallist in the 400-m. At Fraser Valleys this year, he finished first in three events – the 200- and 400-m, as well as the 400-m hurdles. Hanna’s teammate, Lexy Reimer, will also hunt for a medal this weekend after a third-place finish in the senior girls 100-m dash at Fraser Valleys. Earl Marriott athletes have a good chance to bring home medals as well, led by senior high jumper Taylor Neveu – who was second in that event at Valleys – and Matthew McLean, who was second in the 100-m and third in the 200-m at Fraser Valleys.

Mariners, Storm advance on pitch Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
The Earl Marriott Mariners and Southridge Storm both advanced into the second round of their respective senior boys rugby provincials after victories last Saturday. The Mariners, seeded sixth in the 16-team AAA tournament, won their game handily, 43-15 over No. 11 Handsworth Saturday at Vancouver’s St. George’s School, which, along with Kamloops and Cowichan’s Brentwood College, was one of three host sites for the first round of the tournament. At the AA level, the ninth-seeded Southridge Storm also advanced to the second round after a mild upset – a 39-10 win over the No. 8 Kalamalka Lakers from Coldstream. With the victory, the Mariners advanced to play No. 3 seed Oak Bay Wednesday afternoon, while Southridge was to play Rockridge, the
same day. Both games, set for Abbotsford’s Rotary Stadium, were played after Peace Arch News’ deadlines. Despite the lopsided score – and Mariners’ coaches actually thought their team had scored 50, rather than the 43 awarded to them on the official website – The Marriott/ Handsworth game was close in the early stages. The teams were tied 10-10 at halftime, but the South Surrey squad – which finished fourth at provincials last year – opened things up in the second half. “It was tight in the first half, but we felt like we were playing really good rugby,” EMS coach Adam Roberts said. The winner of Wednesday’s game would be guaranteed no worse than a fourthplace finish, while the losing team can finish no better than fifth. The Southridge Storm faced the same scenario, needing a win to finish in the top four.
‘Pleasant surprise’ i from page 35 final game – and were led by Grade 11 captain Taiid Haines-Young. The team followed Haines-Young’s lead all weekend, Mynhardt said. She played a critical role in Elgin’s doubleovertime win over the top-ranked Cowichan Thunderbirds in quarter-finals. With the score tied 15-15, it was HainesYoung’s kick that gave her team the upset victory, sending them into semifinals, where they shut out the No. 2 Yale Lions, 10-0. “What a phenomenal performance from that kid,” Mynhardt beamed. “In double overtime, with a kick to win the game – the pressure of that moment is over the top, and she stepped up and drilled that ball right down the middle (of the uprights). “We would not have done as well as we did this weekend if it wasn’t for her.” Elgin Park was not the only South Surrey team to find itself in a championship game last weekend. In the Tier 2 bracket of senior girls AAA provincials – also played in Port Alberni – the
Semiahmoo Totems defeated top-seeded Houston Secondary 27-5 in the final. Prior to the tournament, Semiahmoo coach Dave Kaye told Peace Arch News that he thought his team might be in tough at the event, because they’d be missing a handful of key players due to other commitments. As it was, the team played without six regulars, but did not skip a beat, defeating three higher-seeded teams – Penticton, Walnut Grove and Houston. “It was a pleasant surprise,” Kaye said. “We just kept getting better and better. We played Houston last year and they absolutely shelled us, so it was nice.” Like their Elgin Park counterparts, the Totems are also a young squad, with just one senior player, Grade 12 captain Selena Tobin. “We will definitely miss her,” Kaye said. “But we should continue to get better. Our goal last year was just to make it to provincials, and our goal this year was to finish higher than we went in. Now, we’ll work towards getting into the Tier 1 (bracket) next year.”

Keaton Edwards and his teammates donate used baseball gear to Latin American players
Tritons pitcher spearheads equipment drive Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
At first, all Keaton Edwards wanted was to clear some space in his garage. But what started as a simple cleanup effort for the White Rock Tritons pitcher – an attempt to rid himself of all his old, unused baseball gear – turned into something much more. “I realized I had a ton of outgrown baseball gear… I started thinking how great it would be to send that gear to underprivileged kids in Latin America,” Edwards wrote in an email to his teammates. “You’ve seen the photos… the kids who play baseball with flattened milk jugs for catchers gloves, sticks for bats and rocks for baseballs. Then it dawned on me that every member of our team probably has just as much outgrown baseball gear cluttering up their garage.” His teammates – and other members of the White RockSouth Surrey Baseball Association – jumped onboard, and soon began sifting through their own

In the meantime, Edwards and his parents, Mary and Graham, went online and found a charitable organization – Project Beisbol – that collects and organizes shipments of equipment out of one of their offices in

Podium finishes A trio of Surrey/ White Rock athletes from UBC scored medals last weekend, at the Natiaonal Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Alabama. Luc Bruchet won a bronze medal in the men’s 1,500-m race, while Justin Kent won gold in the 3,000-m steeplechase. As well, both runners – along with Semiahmoo Secondary grad Jack Williams – were members of the school’s men’s 4x800-m relay team which won a silver medal. Williams also placed seventh in the men’s 1,500. Two other runners – White Rock’s Sarah Korpach and Surrey’s Stephanie Dacre – also competed at the meet.
donated 62 bats, 30 gloves, 21 batting helmets and 19 full sets of catcher’s gear, as well as dozens of cleats and pants. White Rock-South Surrey Baseball Association also added to the collection, donating 13 large equipment bags full of gear, including 84 bats.
Saturday’s donation day added further to those numbers. With so much equipment to donate, the association also agreed to help pay for a U-Haul, which will be rented and driven to Portland soon. “WRSSBA really stepped up to the plate,” Edwards said.

You can really hear the engine noise intrude the cabin. It’s not a performance machine like the Nissan GT-R, where you want to hear as much ruckus as you can. However, when cruising at highway speeds – without the lead foot acceleration – my driving partner and I noticed how quiet the cabin is. Wind noise is kept at bay and it’s serene. Furthermore, it was an incredibly blustery day when we took these pint-sized four-doors out. Needless to say, you could feel the swagger of the car at highway speeds.

While very affordable, the Micra isn’t “cheap” in execution. Even the knobs on the roll down windows have a soft touch to them. And there are metallic accents to break up the otherwise bland black interior. I certainly wasn’t disappointed when captaining the Micra. Even though that might sound like a backhanded compliment, it’s not. As far as small cars go, it’s functional, funky and has great value. Whether you’re looking for a vehicle that gets you from point A to B – minus all the options – or said vehicle with a few extras, the 2015 Micra might be the car for you.

Quality and cost conscious classic car Nigel Matthews Our classic and collector car expert continues today with the second part of his four-part series on the restoration of public relations executive Laura Ballance’s rare 1967 Ford Mustang T5 by 360 Fabrication in Abbotsford.
The restoration business has changed a great deal – in the past, most auto body repair shops would only take on such work when their collision work dried up. Now it’s very specialized work and I’m often asked if I could recommend a restoration shop. To be honest with you, I would be hard pressed to come up with enough names to fill the fingers of one hand. But I have no hesitation in saying that I doubt there is one in the entire country that restores and builds as many custom cars as 360 Fabrication in Abbotsford. They control the costs and track the daily progress by using a number of management systems and a Gantt chart. The secret to controlling the work is to perform all of the tasks in-house with perhaps the exception of chrome plating. During my time in the trade, costs kept mounting up and either the customer or the technician, who worked on a flat rate (piecework) basis, was short changed resulting in ill feelings between the shop owner, his staff and the customer, mainly caused by the lack of communication and too many assumptions. Laura Ballance’s original plan was to have a sympathetic restoration performed, replacing only what was necessary. But cars are no different from houses, boats and planes, so when the Mustang was disassembled and stripped they discovered that probably the only thing holding the car
A 1967 Ford Mustang T5 in the middle of restoration at 360 Fabrication in Abbotsford. together was Laura’s father’s DIY welding. The Mustang is a relatively easy car to restore in terms of obtaining new parts. In this case, by the time the air chisel and plasma cutter was put away, the only major sheet metal components left were the roof, “A” pillars, rocker-panels, bulkhead and the two front frame rails and the rear section of the floor. I have heard the expression “better than new” a few times over the years and have often wondered how can it be better than new? But it can. Today’s restorations have improved with the help of new technology such as compression fit welding equipment, seam sealers and paint
products including epoxy primers, spray on polyester fillers and the waterborne color coats with a clear coat finish. These products are far superior to anything that came off the production line during the ‘60s. Rick Francoeur and his team at 360 Fabrication always allow the customer to be in control and understand customer needs and expectations, even down to the smallest sentimental detail. However, sometimes they have to advise the client for their own benefit, sometimes financial, safety related or future re-sale value. Laura wanted the Mustang refinished it its metallic blue, all the rage
during the ‘60s and the car she remembers. But if the car is to retain its value and to represent how it came off the production line as a rare T5, it had to be painted its original Ford Paint Code Z, an interesting colour called Sauterne Gold Irid. This colour combined with a black interior and vinyl roof will make the car a real eye catcher. Next week we will look into the mechanical component restoration and exterior trim replacement.

Whether you tow a boat, car, snowmobiles, or motorcycles, custom truck accessories can make towing less nerve-wracking.
Ian Harwood
’’
For one thing, it is not easy to manouevre around corners and change lanes with that extra length behind your truck. Backing up also can be challenging and towing up a steep hill can be tough on your truck. Whether you tow a boat, car, snowmobiles, or motorcycles, custom truck accessories can make towing less nerve-wracking.
Don’t tow too much weight Pulling too much weight can be very dangerous. Check your owner’s manual to find your vehicle’s towing capacity, including the maximum gross trailer weight and tongue weight it can handle. Tongue weight is the downward force exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer coupler. In most cases, it is about 10 to 15 percent of gross trailer weight. Tongue weight of up to 300 pounds can be measured on a household scale by resting the trailer coupler on the scale and placing the scale on a box so that the coupler is at its normal towing height. The trailer must be fully loaded and level.
Use the right hitch and other equipment Just as each vehicle has a maximum towing capacity so too does each trailer hitch, hitch ball, ball mount and safety chain. To tow safely, you need to make sure every component you use is ready to handle the weight of your fully loaded trailer. Remember, your
towing capacity is equal to the capacity of the weakest link in the system.
With summer camping season right around the corner, now is the time to make sure your truck is equipped to tow a trailer properly, including figuring out the maximum gross trailer and tongue weight it can handle.
Choosing a trailer hitch All trailer hitches feature a class rating, as well as a weight rating, so be sure the hitch can accommodate the loaded trailer. For instance, Reese Class 2 ($159) hitches have a maximum rated capacity of 350 pounds tongue weight and 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight. Class IV ($175) receiver-style hitches have a maximum capacity of 1,200 pounds tongue weight and 12,000 pounds gross trailer weight. If you need more towing capacity than the traditional receiver-style weight distributing hitch, then you need to step up to a fifth-wheel or gooseneck hitch. Prices start at $650.
Choosing a hitch ball If you have a drawbar-style hitch, the hitch ball usually is built right in. But if you have a receiver-style hitch, you’ll need to choose your own hitch ball. Like vehicles and trailer hitches, hitch balls also are assigned a maximum tongue weight and gross trailer weight rating. Hitch balls are made from a variety of materials, and some are available in a choice of finishes including chrome. They cost is $12 to $14. The hitch ball diameter must be the same diameter as the trailer coupler (1 7/8 inches, 2 inches or 2 5/16 inches). The shank diameter of the hitch ball should be the same as the hole diameter in the ball mount. The shank length should be long enough to allow at least two threads to be visible when the hitch ball is installed.
Load your trailer properly Rule of thumb is roughly two-thirds (60 to 66 percent) of the gross load weight should be positioned toward the front half of the trailer. Place large or heavy objects on the trailer first. Tie these objects down securely and from several angles to ensure they do not shift. Pack remaining items in a manner that maintains balance of the trailer. Once the trailer is loaded, double-check the positioning and stability of the cargo. ian.harwood@ drivewaybc.ca

Forge Properties’ Royce features West Coast-style architecture, spacious decks and terraces, gourmet kitchens and luxurious bathrooms. Perfectly situated in White Rock, Royce is close to shopping, dining and recreation opportunities.
Gorgeous views at Forge Properties’ Royce By Kerry Vital
Inspired by White Rock’s stunning scenery, Forge Properties’ Royce is an elegant addition to the neighbourhood, with plenty of curb appeal as it moves into the final cladding stage. Offering spacious homes and a prime location, Royce has proven incredibly popular. “We like to think of it as a true White Rock landmark,” says project marketing manager Brandon Trent. “It’s a one-of-a-kind building with West Coast architecture featuring a blend of modern and natural materials, including B.C. timber posts.” The development takes full advantage of the location. “The building is designed to cascade towards the ocean and maximize stunning ocean views over top of a lush landscaped courtyard,” Trent says. Each home has an expansive terrace or
patio, affording beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean or over the courtyard. Inside, oversized windows and nine-foot ceilings in the main living areas add to the sense of spaciousness. Gourmet kitchens feature floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances and distinctive quartz countertops, complemented by an integral Carrera marble backsplash. The space is lit by under-cabinet task lighting, pot lights and chic pendants over the kitchen island. “These kitchens live like a single-family home,” says Trent. The luxurious bathrooms are spa-like and relaxing, with quartz countertops, recessed pot lighting and large-format porcelain tile with mosaic-style polished marble accents. The ensuite features a walk-in shower, separate soaker tub (most homes) with largeformat marble tile flooring with a mosaic herringbone-style marble accent. Homeowners at Royce will have access to The Royce Club, an amenities space with a fireside lounge with kitchen area and library, and a fully equipped fitness centre with yoga studio. Venturing off the property you’ll find everything you need, from shopping and dining to leisure and recreation opportunities.
Combined with the gorgeous homes, Royce has something for everyone. “With so many great floorplans to choose from, both singles and couples can find a home at the right size to fit their lifestyle with a true White Rock address,” says Trent. Royce was the recipient of four Georgie Awards earlier this year, which honour the best in British Columbia’s residential
construction industry. Homes at Royce start at $299,900. For more information, visit www.royceliving.com, call 604-538-8028 or visit the Presentation Gallery at 14855 Thrift Avenue, open daily between 12 and 5 p.m.

Q. How can I net more money selling my own home? A. Here are three important tips: • Set the right price from the start. Homes that sell for the most money are priced right when they go on the market. • Create a comprehensive plan to market your home. You can target buyers through flyers and open houses, but your home should be listed in the official MLS database by a REALTOR® so more buyers see it and you get a price closer to what you’re asking. • Hire an experienced Home Marketing Expert. A REALTOR® who knows how to effectively market your home can net you more money. Plus, they can save you time by assisting you with every aspect of the sale, from pricing your home to coordinating the closing process.

Born on May 18, 1946 in Vancouver, British Columbia to George and Mary Hawes and passed away peacefully on May 22, 2014 in the comfort of his home in Morgan Creek, Surrey, BC. He is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Marilyn, his three children, Rob (Lise), Deb (John) and Gary (Courtney); grandchildren Matthew, Ben, Emily, Katie, Olivia, Theo and Henry; three brothers Richie (Bonnie), Bob (Pat), and Jim (Darlene). A Chartered Accountant by training, Ron ran a successful development company in the 80’s and 90’s with his trusted partners Peter Beauchamp and Tom Radatzke. Retiring in his 40s, he has cherished the last 20 years of his life spending time with his wife in Maui, on the golf course with great friends, and especially sharing special moments with his beloved grandchildren, who affectionately called him “Papa”. Gone too soon, Ron managed to live a very full life in his 68 years and will be dearly missed by all of those who were fortunate to know him. A Celebration of Life Service will be held Tuesday, June 3, 2014 at 11:00am at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre, 14831 28th Avenue, Surrey, BC.

His early career included positions as Head of Circulation at the University of British Columbia Library, then Chief Librarian at British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT). Later he became the consultant on libraries to the provincial government and was instrumental in improving library services to the educational and medical systems. After several years as Executive Director to the Management Advisory Council, which oversaw funding to the Community College System during its founding years, Robert left government service to start his own consulting firm. He was involved in advising on systems and training the staff of over a hundred small businesses in the lower mainland. Besides his official duties Robert was very active in professional associations, having been a founding member of the Council of PostSecondary Library Directors; one-time President of the British Columbia Library Association; and an officer or member of several committees of the Canadian Library Association. He was honored by receiving several prestigious awards recognizing his contributions to the profession. After retiring, Robert and his wife, Betty, volunteered their time and expertise, through both Rotary International and the Canadian Executive Services Organization, to overseas institutions and businesses, helping to plan organize and improve computer and library services in India, the Philippines, Guyana, Honduras, Hawaii, Lithuania and especially Haiti. Besides making fifteen trips to Jeremie, Haiti over the years, Robert worked from home for many hours per week on the development and constant improvement of the computer programme which makes possible the census-based public health system serving the remote area around Jeremie. This system has been recognized as unique and outstanding in its outcomes by U.S.Aid, the U.N and other health organizations. Robert was a long-time member of Rotary and truly lived his life according to Rotary’s stated ideals of helping others. He was the founder of the “Help for Haiti Consortium” which is supported by five Rotary Clubs in the White Rock area as well as individual contributors. Robert was one of only twelve people worldwide who were awarded the prestigious Rotary award for “Service Above Self” in 2012 and he was signalled out for mention by name by the President of the Haitian Health Foundation when he was honoured at the White House the same year. Robert was an honorable, unassuming man. His intellectual curiosity and sense of humour made him an always interesting companion. He was a loving husband of 33 years to his wife, Betty, whom he married after his first wife, Anita Lissack, had died; a loving father to his two step-children, Zakiya of Seattle, and Waleed of Singapore; and a loving grandfather to his two granddaughters, Jasmin and Jade. He will be much missed by his family, by those he worked with, and by all who knew him. No funeral by request and flowers are gratefully declined. Donations in his memory, if desired, should be by cheque, made out to “The Rotary Foundation,” with “In memory of Robert Harris” on the memo line, and sent to Mr. Jack Rae, 12662 Ocean Cliff Drive, Surrey, BC, V4A 6N1. The money will go to one of Robert’s projects and a tax receipt will be issued.

Collie Doodle Puppies (Collie x Poodle) Born Feb 26. Mom is a Rough Collie (45 lbs) and Dad is a small Standard Poodle (50 lbs). Both have health clearances (eyes, hips, elbows). 2 very curly black females avail. We have bred this litter special to create the perfect family companion (intelligent, gentle, easy to train, always willing to please, happy indoors and outdoors, good with children and animals, low to no shed). These puppies will not need a heavy hand to train. They are sweet, kind and sensitive puppies. They will be very similar in looks and in nature to the Golden Doodle only smaller, calmer and will mature sooner. We are a 4H (agility, obedience, showmanship) family and our dogs are a part of our home and life and we wish the same for our puppies. Please consider the time and commitment needed to raise a dog and you will have our support and guidance for life. Pups will have shots and deworming. Reduced to $850.
