Semiahmoo First Nation calls for Transport Canada safety directives to be put on hold
Burial-site concern over rail fences Alex Browne Staff Reporter
The BNSF is not alone in concerns with trespassing on the White Rock waterfront. According to Semiahmoo First Nation councillor Joanne Charles, railway plans to fence off the far eastern and western ends of the area is also trespassing on “significant” centuries-old native burial and archaeological sites.
She told Peace Arch News Wednesday that the band is asking the railway and Transport Canada to put on hold fencing on East Beach at the Finlay Street crossing and plans to block access on West Beach at the bottom of the Coldicutt Ravine, until an archaeological assessment of the beach area can be done. “There need to be permits under the Heritage Act,” Charles said. “People should not be digging anywhere for anything without them.”
Measures to fence off and control access to the BNSF right-of-way, driven by safety concerns, have been made mandatory by a Transport Canada order, but a furor broke out when the City of White Rock interpreted the ruling to include a permanently locked gate at the West Beach Boat Launch crossing (which Transport Canada has since said was not necessary). Charles said the band wrote to Trans-
port Canada with its concerns about other planned fencing as soon as the controversy erupted several weeks ago. A meeting with BNSF officials is still pending rescheduling, she added, but work has been curtailed at the Finlay Street crossing. “Transport Canada and the BNSF and the city may have been meeting on this since November, but Semiahmoo First Nation has i see page 4

ATM customers robbed 12 times over 20 days last year
‘Surgical mask bandit’ trial set for fall 2015 Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
The trial of a White Rock man accused of committing 12 ATM robberies last year has been set for 20 days in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. According to court officials, the proceedings against Travis Jensen-Pickford are scheduled to get underway on Nov. 16, 2015.
Save the Date AUGUST 1, 2 & 3
He is facing 36 charges in connection with armed robberies that occurred in White Rock and Surrey between May 12 and June 15, 2013. All but two of the crimes took place on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. One occurred in Newton and another near 186 Street and Fraser Highway. In each instance, a victim was approached by a masked gunman while withdrawing money from an ATM during non-banking hours.
The robber’s unusual choice of disguise led to police referring to the man as the “surgical mask bandit.” A preliminary inquiry was held in Surrey Provincial Court in April. During Supreme Court proceedings last week, dates were also set for a pre-trial conference (June 15, 2015), a voir dire (15 days starting Sept. 14, 2015) and jury selection (Nov. 5, 2015).

That action has been ruled against in two lawsuits initiated by the BCTF. The union wants the government to agree to some form of class-size limits and pay a financial penalty for its actions in 2002, as part of the new contract. The government, which is appealing the latest court ruling, says that can’t be on the table while the court case proceeds. There has long been bad blood between the BCTF and the government of the day. But the current fight with the BC Liberals is much more deeprooted than earlier battles. That’s why the strike is likely to last until September, and it is quite possible there will be no classes even in early September. Surrey superintendent of schools Jordan Tinney has already hinted that may happen. Summer school is on hold, and may proceed – but that seems doubtful as well. The province has taken control of many institutions that once had much more ability to make decisions locally – hospitals, transit (outside the Lower Mainland) and schools. However, when such tight provincial control leads to so much upheaval for so many people, it must be questioned. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News.

President announces investigation into own pre-employment payment
Kwantlen leaders ‘unaware’ of pay issue Dan Ferguson Times Reporter
Kwantlen Polytechnic University has announced its own review of executive compensation after a provincial government review declared the university broke the rules by making two pre-employment payments of $50,000 each to president Alan Davis and former vice-president Anne Lavack. The announcement was made by Davis, who said “the recipients, including myself, were unaware that these contracts might be non-compliant in some way with BC public
sector regulations.” Davis said it was clear that before he became president “there was an established pattern of issuing pre-employment consulting contracts to people being hired to senior positions” and other such contracts were issued before the two that attracted government attention. “I am therefore conducting my own review of these issues, using independent external resources as required,” Davis said in a written statement released by the university.

Lynn Gartland discusses concerns regarding buses with engineer Bob Ambardar and transportation planner Brian Patterson at an open house.
Feedback encouraged for strategic transportation plan
Bus pollution among concerns aired Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Lynn Gartland is tired of the pollution from transit buses disrupting her and her neighbours’ lives. The White Rock resident aired her concerns regarding noise and fumes from buses passing her home to city officials last week, during an open house on the city’s strategic transportation plan, which is undergoing an update. “I wanted to see if anybody else would show up with the same issue,” Gartland told Peace Arch News, after detailing the problem with city engineering manager Bob Ambardar and Brian Patterson, a transportation planner with Vancouver-based Urban Systems. “We want them gone,” she said of the heavy shuttles. Gartland’s complaint is not a new one for the city, which began logging resident calls on the issue nearly three years ago, when a bus layover was established on Thrift Avenue just west of Johnston Road. The site was determined following complaints over a temporary layover on Foster Street. At that time, city officials said a bus layover had to be recognized as part of the price of living in a city that needs and desires transit service. But Gartland, who lives near Thrift Avenue and Blackwood Street, said the volume of
Dozens of vendors will pack into the Cloverdale Fairgrounds this Saturday as the latest night market launches in Metro Vancouver. The Surrey Night Market will include about 70 vendors, 46 selling food, and another 23 with retail kiosks across from the Cloverdale Agriplex at 17726 62 Ave. In addition, there will be bands, dancers and other entertainment throughout the night. Based on a trendy weekend market in Richmond that attracts thousands of people from May through October, Surrey’s version launches on Saturday night and will be an open-air market for residents buying and selling a variety of local foods, services and goods. It’s planned as a multicultural, family-friendly event for people throughout the region. The Surrey Night Market will run from July 5 to Aug. 30 this year, every week on Friday and Saturdays from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. Organizers anticipate the market will attract up to 8,000 attendees each night. Admission is $2, and children under four feet tall get in for free. To find out how you can become a vendor or a sponsor for the event, or to get more information, visit www.surreynightmarket.com
Recycling renews File photo
Residents took their message about the Foster Street bus layover to the streets in 2011. buses and resulting air and noise pollution is both unhealthy and unsafe. Ambardar assured Gartland he would connect with TransLink about her concerns. He told PAN it’s an issue “we don’t have complete control over.” “We would monitor it, to see what kind of behaviour they’re doing,” Ambardar said, referring to a complaint that buses were parking on Thrift and idling. Public transit is among five key areas that officials are looking for feedback on to assist them in updating the strategic transportation plan. Residents’ thoughts on parking, cycling, walking and the road network are also being sought. Ambardar said in addition to buses, those who attended the June 24 event also spoke to
the importance of established cycling routes and connectivity between uptown and the waterfront. The goal of the process, he said, is to come up with projects to improve the city’s “livability.” Statistics shared at the open house include that 51 per cent of the city’s streets do not have sidewalks; seven White Rock intersections experience more than six collisions per year; and private vehicles are currently the primary mode of transportation, accounting for 83 per cent of all trips. Ambardar said his aim is to have a proposed plan update ready to present to council in September. Anyone still wanting to provide feedback can do so at city hall, or by calling Ambardar at 604-541-2181.
White Rock residents are starting to see red this week, as the city adds to its list of curbside recycling materials. A new red bin is being delivered to single-family residences for collection of clear and coloured bottles and jars. Residents also receive a brochure outlining exactly what items can be put out for curbside collection. Effective July 1, blue-box recycling expanded to include pickup for products including paper/plastic drinking cups; nonhazardous aerosols/spray cans; and egg cartons.

Mayors urge ministers to clarify resources for TransLink
You were made for each other…
Province ‘abrogates’ role
Your rings should be too!
Jeff Nagel Black Press
Metro Vancouver mayors have sent Transportation Minister Todd Stone a letter that accuses the province of “abrogating its regional responsibility” by not taking a more active role in their transit expansion planning. The response letter from Richard Walton mayors’ council chair Richard Walton to Stone said mayors are concerned about his suggestion last month they delay key rapid transit Todd Stone extensions so their ambitious $7.5-billion expansion plan can be spread out over 20 years instead of 10. “The option of doing little or nothing in the next 10 years because we cannot come to some agreement on the timing, scope or funding sources will, in our view, have an even greater impact on families, the economy

TransLink clarification requested. and provincial revenue from the Lower Mainland,” it says. They say the province should instead lobby for more federal contributions to fit their plan’s time frame. The mayors also want the province to clarify whether they could use a vehicle levy, a regional sales tax or new regional carbon tax to fund TransLink now that Stone has ruled out any re-allocation of existing carbon tax revenue. Walton last week told Black Press the mayors may look again at the vehicle levy or sales tax options – if permitted – after concluding a new carbon tax is problematic. The mayors’ letter notes all of
the potential sources may run afoul of the province’s “somewhat arbitrary and ambiguous” funding source criteria that they be affordable for families, have no negative impact on the economy, be regional in nature and not cut into provincial revenue. “It would appear that the province has set a standard that is virtually impossible to meet,” the letter says. It also argues the province is inconsistent when it insists those revenue sources be affordable to families but then suggests mayors instead consider raising property taxes, which are an existing TransLink source that can be increased without triggering a referendum. The transportation ministry said it will work to finalize the date of the expected referendum, which Walton has said would likely be next March. The province wants the referendum date determined by July 15, while mayors want their questions answered before they meet again July 29. As for the question to be put to voters, the mayors suggest it be in two parts – the first asking voters to indicate their support for the proposed 10-year investment plan, while the second would ask their support for one or more new revenue sources.

Province needs to take lead on transit
B
uilding a transit system is expensive. Not building one is even more so. Last month, the Mayors’ Council of civic leaders from all the communities that comprise Metro Vancouver laid out an ambitious $7.5-billion plan to improve public transit in the region. They’d achieve that with more buses; a lightrail line that would eventually connect Langley City, via Newton, to the Expo SkyTrain line in Surrey; and an extension of the Millennium Line to Arbutus with further expansion to UBC in the future. They also pledged improvements to the HandyDart and SeaBus services, as well as the construction of a new four-lane toll bridge to replace the Pattullo. Burnaby mayor Derek Corrigan voted against the plan. He called it a “wish list” that was overly “ambitious.” Ambitious? Sure. But considering the myriad traffic and transit issues that plague the region – specifically in cities south of the Fraser – ambition should not be considered a negative. In fact, a long-term plan may be exactly what is needed. But unless the provincial government gets on board with the plan and makes some tough decisions to see at least some of it to fruition, it might never be worth the reams of paper it’s printed on. To pay for the plan, the mayors want the province to implement a tolling system in which motorists pay to travel anywhere in the region, whether or not they cross a bridge. That would generate enough revenue to allow TransLink to reduce its gas tax from 17 cents to 11 cents per litre. So far, Premier Christy Clark seems to be hedging transit’s future on the outcome of a referendum that still hasn’t got a date, or even a defined question. The mayors had the right idea to present an integrated, comprehensive plan for transit in Metro Vancouver. It’s time for the provincial government to put the wheels in motion to begin realizing it. Otherwise it will just end up costing us more to keep building bigger roads.

a trip to the hospital should the situation ever arise again involving a serious reaction. Normally I consider grizzly bears, shooting myself in the foot, or falling in the campfire as hazards to be concerned with, not the occasional hornet. I’ve never been particularly familiar with allergies, though one of my horses, which spent all its life prior to my acquisition on a small, very highelevation, dry-country ranch, reacts mightily to plant pollen in the Fraser Valley. Dosing him with antihistamines seems to work, though his issue certainly isn’t grave. For those allergic to bee stings, it can be. We then recalled stories of people we knew who had severe reactions to such usually mild things as bug bites or nuts. Fortunately, all survived, though without immediate medication they may not have. So, as words of warning for those who, like in the nursery rhyme Teddy Bears’ Picnic, “go down to the woods today,” avoid “a big surprise” by ensuring you know in advance if your friends/family have any serious allergies or other health issues. And if they do, find out where the medications are, and keep them handy. Having a life-threatening moment puts the damper on any backwoods adventure.

Business venture Editor: Re: Funding rift rocks White Rock trolley, June 26. Thank you, Tourism White Rock, City of White Rock and generous supporters, for funding the free trolley this summer and keeping our City by the Sea on the map. As a long-term resident of the White Rock/South Surrey area, who reads the PAN faithfully twice a week, I feel I must speak to the apparent distancing the White Rock Business Improvement Association is placing between itself and Tourism White Rock. What better way to promote our city and all the businesses in it but through tourism. Shouldn’t the two organizations be working hand-inhand with each other to get the best bang for your – and our – buck? First, the BIA cuts off general funding to tourism, then the free trolley funding – a hugely successful pilot project last year, judging from the comments I heard while using it. Yes, I am sure there were some complaints, but for the BIA to focus on that rather than all the positive feedback that came in is just a shame. Did anyone from the BIA take the time to ride the trolley and get a feel for the excellent public response, take a shift on the trolley and be a tour guide to promote White Rock businesses along the route? Doesn’t sound like it to me. Just sounds like a bag of sour grapes. Gini VanDer Meulen, Surrey
the next school year. It is common for many teachers to return to their schools by mid-August to prepare for the upcoming year. They are not paid a salary for this time. • The reference to “the days off during their annual strike” is both insulting and blatantly incorrect. There have been few teacher strikes in this province, and every teacher I know would gladly be back in their classrooms teaching their students. • I have no idea what the writer is referring to by “the odd study sessions” nor how these constitute time away from instruction. All study sessions, staff meetings, district workshops and the like occur before or after classes and are simply an extension of the teacher’s work day. Teachers receive no overtime pay. • The number of minutes, hours, and days that classes must be in session is dictated by the provincial government. “Students being dismissed one hour early every Friday” cannot happen unless this time is made up elsewhere during the week and the dismissal time is approved by trustees and the district. • To say “teachers are only teaching for less than six months in the year” and that schools are only in session
“half the time” is absurd. In fact, public schools in B.C. are in session for more hours than most other jurisdictions in the western world. While freedom of speech is a good thing, prior to writing a letter to the editor, or an essay, or participating in a debate or discussion, it is essential to get one’s facts straight. This is what I taught my students. Susan Davidson, Surrey Q Regarding the teachers’ strike, why do the teachers hide behind the kids and face the real reason, and that is benefits and money? They are sending a very bad message to the future adults of this great country. Shame on you. John Reid, White Rock Q It should be pointed out that our education minister, sporting a high-school education, makes over $150,000 per year, working a much shorter year than teachers, with a very generous pension scheme and the ability to claim expenses for spousal allowance, transportation and housing. He, as well as all other MLAs, gets an automatic cost-ofliving raise every year, too. John Wright, Surrey
Planning for Surrey’s future Editor: Late last month, Mayor Dianne Watts and her Surrey First councillors approved a large urban subdivision in our quiet Grandview Heights suburban neighbourhood. They did this despite area residents overwhelmingly rejecting the proposal because it sets an ugly precedent that will only encourage developers to divvy up our area. Only Coun. Barinder Rasode stood up for our neighbourhood. The only potential protection council offered us from further piecemeal overdevelopment consists of a nonsensical addition to our General Land Use Plan. Ironically, the GLUP is one of several policies council ignored to force this on us. Given the perception that city hall has traditionally been in bed with the development community, perhaps next time we will elect councillors with no history of incestuous relationships with developers. Gary Cameron, Surrey
Educated arguments Editor: Re: Unique class of negotiation, June 24 letters. As a retired teacher who taught in the B.C. public school system for 32 years, I feel duty-bound to correct the letter from G. Reid. The Employment Standards Act applies to all employees in B.C., including teachers. Teachers do not receive any ‘special’ treatment. • Full-time teachers get “Saturday and Sunday off ” because they work Monday to Friday. • There are only 10 statutory holidays permitted in B.C. Teachers receive no compensation for Canada Day, B.C. Day or Labour Day. Therefore, they actually only ‘get’ seven statutory holidays, not 11. • Three of these seven statutory holidays (New Year’s Day, Good Friday and Christmas Day) occur during spring break and Christmas holidays. They are part of the vacation time, not days off in addition to the holidays. • The number of professional days in a school year is dictated by the Ministry of Education. It is generally five or six, not 10. • Teachers do get time off in July and August; a two-month school break is common the world over. Many teachers use this time to upgrade their credentials, preview new materials and prepare curricula for

Letter-writer S. Cunningham suggests this photograph demonstrates that gates and fences do little to protect people.
Railway fences, gates no solution Editor: The submitted photo (above) demonstrates the futility of erecting gates and fences to protect the public on White Rock beach. On a daily basis you can see people standing on the tracks in front of an oncoming train or dashing across the tracks just before the train reaches the point of crossing. S. Cunningham, Surrey Q In the past 45-plus years of going to the beach as a child and adult, I’ve realized the more fences, gates and railings they put up, the more people are going to hustle and bustle to achieve access to the beach by the quickest means possible. When we were kids, there were no barriers, yet a constant warning alarm, a ringing bell on the trains and drop-down barriers at crossings. When there was not this convoluted rat maze of impediment of barrings, the majority – 98 per cent – of people getting hit by the trains were the drunk, drugged, the unaware. Less is more. Jay Heakes, White Rock Q
Are we going back to the Second World War? Many of us remember the barbed wire beaches, but at least there was a legitimate reason. It’s bad enough seeing six-foot fences at East Beach. I thought the issue was dogs on the beach; now it appears it is people. A good start towards safety would be to not wear headphones. Gillian Tennock, White Rock Q I believe there is one simple solution for all of us when it comes to our safety. This solution is probably why I, and most other people, are alive today. We followed a golden rule: “Stop, look and listen.” Take the fence down and put up these signs for those who were never taught or have forgotten. Parents, please teach your children well and set a good example. Hold their hands until they have learned this rule. I believe we all will be much safer if we learn to care for ourselves and one another. Isn’t this what democracy is? Please, let’s use a little common sense. Take the fence down now. Stop, look and listen now. Be aware of what you need to do to stay safe. This is the responsibility of everyone. Bonnie Friesen, White Rock

Home-invasion inquiry scheduled A preliminary inquiry has been set for two men charged in connection with the homeinvasion death of Corey Bennett in South Surrey last November. The proceedings are to determine if there is enough
evidence in the case against Mathieu Rene Bernard and Donald James Chad to warrant a trial. Bernard is charged with manslaughter “where a firearm is used in the commission”; Chad is charged with the
same firearm count, as well as murder. The men were arrested less than two weeks after Bennett’s Nov. 9 death. The 44-year-old father and grandfather was pronounced dead in hospital following an
incident police determined was a “targeted home invasion” at a residence in the 2600-block of King George Boulevard. According to court records, the inquiry is set for Oct. 14-22 in Surrey Provincial Court. -Tracy Holmes

Judge upholds conviction for fatal car crash A man found guilty in 2012 of dangerous driving in connection to a crash that killed a Surrey grandfather has lost his appeal. On Friday, the B.C. Court of Appeal dismissed Gurjit Dhillon’s appeal, which had been
heard the day before. It was the evening of Sept. 17, 2009 when 83-year-old Pritam Benning was waiting at a bus stop near 128 Street and 72 Avenue when a black Corvette driven by Dhillon accelerated abruptly at the intersection and
switched lanes to get around a vehicle in front of him. Dhillon’s car spun out of control, jumped a curb and struck the bench where Benning was sitting. The elderly man’s legs were crushed and had to be amputated. He was unconscious
for five days before he died. Dhillon, now 29, apologized to the Benning family in court, but two days after receiving a one-year jail sentence, filed notice to overturn his conviction. – Sheila Reynolds

Victim’s brother in custody
Man stabbed A man is in hospital and his brother is in custody after a stabbing in Guildford on the weekend. On Sunday at about 10:45 a.m., Surrey RCMP were called to a report of a stabbing at 10100-block of 156 Street. They found a 23-year-old victim with three stab wounds to the neck. A second man, 20, believed responsible for the stabbing, was seen in the area. Neighbour Tamiq Hussain told CTV News that police were quick to secure the
area. “All of a sudden I saw a bunch of policemen running in the back alley with handguns drawn and shotguns drawn,” Hussain said. “Then I look on my left side and I saw one guy with pretty heavy bleeding and the other guy was on the floor handcuffed.” One man was arrested at the scene. Police believe the fight between the two brothers may have started at a nearby home. The victim is expected to survive. – Kevin Diakiw

White Rock Youth Collective working to create an inclusive space in the city
A safe place for youth created by youth Sarah Massah
A
Staff Reporter
group of teens are working together to create an inclusive and safe youth space in White Rock. The goal for 25 teens – dubbed the White Rock Youth Collective – is to secure a space by this coming fall that youth can come to and feel safe, accepted and stimulated. Made up of teens from all walks of life and varied backgrounds – including some who have struggled through adversity – the group has come together and been actively working on the project since last September with guidance from Alexandra Neighbourhood House youth and family worker Jessie Kergan and her supervisor, Maxine Larmour. “We’ve been seeing this strong need for a space for youth to go to and be positive and do healthy things,” Kergan said, noting that community groups, like Alex House, have been working to find solutions for a number of years. “Right away, it was recognized that it needed to be a youth-led initiative.” After surveying local youth a year and a half ago, what came back was a desire for a youth space that provided ways to use their free time productively. For group member Grace, the project also has a personal connection. The teen has seen friends dragged down into a dangerous lifestyle. “It’s important because there is nothing (like this) in White Rock. And one of the main causes of drug use is boredom,” Grace said. “There are so many kids here who are into drugs and everything. So if we give them something to do maybe it would take away that negativity.” After much brainstorming among the group, it was decided that the ideal location for the space would be “anywhere near Whaling Wall and 20th Avenue,” Kergan told Peace Arch News last week. “When we sat down with them and asked them where they would

accessibility, Kergan noted. “The (recreation centre) is not near a bus stop, it’s very out of the way. We’re looking for a location that’s more uptown and central,” said Tayla, who was recognized
last week in Peace Arch News’ Celebrating our Younth Under 20 special section for her work with the youth collective and in her community. The current youth space offered
is more appropriate for those who are younger, Grace added. The White Rock Youth Collective is envisioning a space (approximately 2,500 square feet) that would be a place for teens to just hang out and meet new friends or try drop-in programs and other activities, including DJing or even something artsrelated. “There’s a lot of sports at the rec centre, and I think it would be cool to have some more artistic options, because not everyone likes sports,” Chey, a youth collective member, explained. The teens have already shared their vision at the annual Alexandra Festival in May and Surrey Steps Up 2014 in February. More recently, the group received positive feedback after a presentation at White Rock council. Grace has designed business cards to hand out and the group created a Facebook page to spread the word. Another major goal for the group would be to create a social enterprise to sustain the space. Ideas suggested including baking or having a café where youth can do what they love to financially support the space while gaining vital job experience. For Jess, the progress made has been unexpected. She recalled the Power of Hope workshop organized by Alex House last year and how the project was just in the early stages. “That day, I had no idea what I was going into, but then I realized what we were actually doing and I got so excited because I didn’t think this could happen by youth,” she said. “I didn’t know that we could actually make a difference and create that space. And the fact that now I’m actually involved in this, I honestly couldn’t have imagined it.” For more, visit www.facebook. com/pages/The-SouthSurreyWhite-Rock-YouthCollective/598282486893957 or email whiterockyouthcollective@ gmail.com

Canada India Networking initiative wrapped up on June 22
“Our aim is to provide a caring & comfortable dental experience for our patients.”
Conference ends at health centre The Canada India Networking initiative wrapped up June 22 with an open house at the South Asian Health Centre. CINI conference delegates and members of the public attended the event to learn more about services provided at the centre. Information was provided on the nurse practitioner-led primary care clinic
for unattached patients, diabetes clinics and the centre’s women’s health clinic. The health centre – a partnership between the Surrey/ North Delta Division of Family Practice and Fraser Health – was the brainchild of the 2010 CINI conference. “A first of its kind, the centre provides an opportunity
to strengthen Fraser Health’s programs with a focused popular-based approach for South Asians,” CINI 2014 chair Dr. Arun Garg said in a news release. “CINI identified a need for such a centre and congratulates the two founding organizations for innovation in primary care and chronic disease management.”
The vision for the centre is that it will serve as a “true health home for local South Asians” and will offer a onestop referral point for a number of services, ranging from chronic-disease management to elder health and falls prevention support. For more, visit www.divisionsbc.ca/snd/initiatives

Freda Fennel passes away at age 105
Centenarian remembered One of the country’s oldest residents has died. Freda Muriel Fennel died June 22 in Peace Arch Hospital’s Weatherby Pavilion. She was 105. “She was quite a neat old girl,” said Georgina Anderson, Fennel’s niece. Born in Birmingham, England on May 14, 1909, Fennel had lived in White Rock since 1976, in a home on a Victoria Avenue lot that her father bought in 1920 to use as a summer cabin. As a child, Fennel lived in New Westminster and Burnaby, but spent summers and holidays at the cabin, Anderson said.

– Fennel and her sister Mabel once won White Rock’s longdefunct sandcastle competition, Anderson said. “The historical society had a photo of them,” she said, noting her aunt was later active in that same society, as well as the Anglican church. “She was fairly well-known throughout the area,” Anderson said. During the Second World War, Fennel served with the St. John Ambulance Corps. Fennel called the Weatherby Pavilion home for six years. – Tracy Holmes

Donations to help children who have undergone treatment for cancer
Trio trims hair for Wigs for Kids A haircut can mean much more than a new look. South Surrey’s Joanne Saunders, her sister, Kelly Weeks, and niece, Justyna Lam were well aware of that when they each donated their long locks to BC Children’s Hospital’s Wigs for Kids program. Together, the women raised more than $2,000 for the program, which makes wigs for children who have undergone treatment for cancer, and as a result, have lost their hair. This isn’t the first time the trio have supported the program. Four years ago,
Three honoured
Orders given Three people from Surrey have been appointed as Members of the Order of Canada, one of the country’s highest civilian honours. Vickie Cammack and Allan B. Etmanski were appointed for their “success in empowering persons with disabilities to participate in and contribute to Canadian society.” Cammack is the founding director of PLAN (Planned Lifetime Advocacy Network) Institute, a pioneer social enterprise supporting people with disabilities. Etmanski, an advisor and also a founding director of PLAN, fought for the establishment of the Registered Disabilities Savings Plan. Eleanor Collins was given the Order of Canada for her “pioneering achievements as a jazz vocalist, and for breaking down barriers and fostering race relations in the mid20th century.” Collins career began when she won an amateur contest in Edmonton in 1934 – she was 15 years old. She went on to sing with the Joe Macelli’s dance band, CBC’s gospel group, and sang with the Three E’s and Swing Low Quartet. The Order of Canada was stablished in 1967 to recognize outstanding achievement, dedication to the community and service to the nation. A ceremony where recipients will receive their insignia will be held at a later date.
the women donated their hair, and when she was four years old, Justyna donated her hair as well. Last month, for her birthday, the 13-year-old Vancouver resident decided to donate the extra $200 that was to be spent on her birthday to the hospital. She has also made bracelets to sell so she can donate proceeds to the program. To donate to the Wigs for Kids program, hair must be a minimum of eight inches long and donors are encouraged to raise pledges leading up to their haircut.

Untreated hearing loss tied to lower earning potential Maximizing one’s ability to hear well should be part of any smart career strategy. Individual performance in an organization is found to be directly related to listening ability or perceived listening effectiveness. In fact, listening is one of the top skills employers seek in entry-level employees and in those being promoted. People who both hear and listen well are also more likely to establish positive working relationships with bosses, clients, and colleagues.

Norm Nevills’ submission from the B.C. Renaissance Festival is among the entries this year.
Photo competition for amateurs
Entries due for contest Amateur photographers have until tomorrow (Friday) to bring their unique perspective to the Black Press “Your Best Shot” contest. The new Your Best Shot contest is open to amateur photographers from across the province. Photographers are encouraged to send in their favourite photos from the past 12 months, including those taken during Canada Day. Whether it’s an action-packed sports shot, a colourful scenic landscape or an amazing portrait, budding photographers are encouraged to send it in. Contestants can submit up to five of their favourite photos for a chance to win some spectacular prizes. The contest, which is being presented by Peace Arch News parent company Black Press, London Drugs and the Abbotsford International Airshow, runs until July 4. All photos will be judged by a panel of experts on subject, composition, impact and other criteria. Finalists will receive full VIP access to the
Abbotsford International Airshow, which runs Aug. 8 to 10, with preferred viewing to take photos of all the action. They will also compete for more than $1,500 in prizes and the chance to be named the Next Generation Amateur Photographer of the Year. Last year, Black Press received more than 2,000 entries for the Your Best Shot contest from amateur photographers from Kelowna, Hope, Vancouver and communities around B.C. More than 70 finalists gathered at the Abbotsford International Airshow, submitting their best photos for the final competition. The winner of last year’s award was Rod Jones of Abbotsford. The twilight show will be held the evening of Friday, Aug. 8, starting early in the evening. It will continue through sunset, where visitors will see the visible afterburner plume of the CF-18 Hornet jet fighter demonstrate the power and agility of the aircraft.

Surrey Arts Council presents exhibit at Surrey Art Gallery
Variety of work presented at ARTS 2014 display Sheila Reynolds Black Press
To have your artwork chosen for this year’s juried art exhibition at the Surrey Art Gallery was no small feat. While there are about 60 diverse works gracing the walls and display cases inside the main gallery space for ARTS 2014, jurors had to select the pieces from 160 that were submitted by hopeful artists. The result is a carefully assembled exhibit showcasing the skill, creativity, emotion, innovation – and often, humour – of dozens of experienced and emerging artists working in an array of media. There are paintings with oil, acrylic and ink, and drawings with pastels and pencil crayons. And sculptural items that have been woven and carved, stitched and moulded. The exhibit, organized by the Arts Council of Surrey, continues until Aug. 30 at the gallery, at 13750 88 Ave. Works for the show were chosen by jurors Liane Davidson, Stephanie Jonsson and John Cranswick. “We got a lot of photography – a lot of interesting photography, with people experimenting,� says Brian Foreman, assistant curator of the Surrey Art Gallery. More and more, the lines between the art forms are blurring. For

A variety of works have been chosen for the current ARTS 2014 display, presented at Surrey Art Gallery. example, Helma Sawatsky’s photo, Construction Sites Phase II: Fisherman’s Wharf is a compilation of layered digital images, creating an almost-familiar landscape of architecture and landscape, portions of which have been digitally painted. Amberlie Perkin’s piece, Broadway to Oak, blends a photograph of an old bus with paint, some collaged torn Bingo cards and even a piece of aged timber. The imagery portrayed ranges from the traditional to the experimental.

The gaze of Surrey artist Catherine Sheppard’s green-eyed snow leopard (entitled Born Free) draws you into the show from the entrance, where several other still life works and nature-inspired pieces, such as Deborah Strong’s Butterflies and Goosebumps greet visitors. One area features a series of buildings and outdoor scenery, while another wall features landscapes that appear more aquatic. The show also contains a lot

of figurative work, such as Michelle McCutcheon’s soapstone sculpture, SeaBreeze, of a long-haired reclining woman; the larger-thanlife piece called Defying Age, a coloured pencil portrait by Jeannette Sirois of her mother; or David Kilpatrick’s mountain-man painting called The Pathfinder.
The whimsical is also front and centre, like Colin Mitchell’s Bodhisattva with a Kite, in which a box kite flies from a string from the top of the painting, Ferdinand Maravilla’s comic-like painting/drawing, Skytrain Fashion, and Elizabeth Carefoot’s curio-filled curtain, Fragments of Desire, which features dozens of tiny objects – domino, bottle cap, rubber frog, doll hand – that she collected over four years in her alleyway.

n their first-ever international rugbyleague tournament, Canada’s U19 side finished just outside the medal table. But they certainly turned some heads along the way. Playing in the the two-day Commonwealth Championships in ❝It was Glasgow – the event acted incredible. as a precursor to the Papers all Commonwealth Games over the world set for later this month were writing – Canada began the ninea-side rugby tournament about us.❞ with a big upset, defeating Andy Blackburn rugby powerhouse England, then followed up head coach later that day with another win, 24-16 over South Africa. The Canadian side – which had eight Peninsula players on its roster – began the tournament with a 24-4 win over England

that Canadian head coach Andy Blackburn, also a South Surrey resident, called “an amazing shock.”
“It was incredible. Papers all over the world were writing about us – we were the talk of the tournament,” he said. Considering the Canadians’ relative newness to the sport – this version of rugby has only been played in B.C. for a few years – Blackburn and his troops had planned to use the tournament as something of a learning experience. Prior to leaving for Scotland, Blackburn referred to playing England as “getting thrown into the proverbial deep end.” “Our goal here is to look ahead. What we achieve this year, hopefully we can build on in the year’s to come,” Blackburn told Peace Arch News last month. “The success story with this is literally just the ability to put a team together… But the second level of success will be determined by how much we improve. It’s going to be a hell of an experience, but a big, daunting task.” The locals on the roster were Earl Marriott Secondary’s Cali Martinez and Nick i see page 26 TATED.

Two local players will be suiting up for Canada when the national women’s team competes at the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship in Surrey. Veteran infielder Jennifer Yee of North Delta and pitcher Sara Groenewegen of South Surrey were among the 17 players named to the team Monday by Softball Canada. Yee, a product of both the Surrey Storm and Delta Heat rep programs, is in her eighth season with the national team while Groenewegen is in her second. Canada’s first competition of the summer will be at the General Tire World Cup of Softball which begins Saturday in Irvine, Calif. After the Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship in Surrey July 15-21, the team will head for Europe for the World Championship in the Netherlands Aug. 15-24. Yee has been competing at the Canadian Open for the past decade, making her first appearance in the Futures (U18) division in 2004, the same season she was named to the Canadian Development team. She made the national team for the first time in 2007, and a year later was Canada’s top batter at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China with a .348 average. While playing for Canada, Yee has won silver medals at the 2007 and 2011 Pan-American Games, and a bronze medal at the 2010 World Championships in Venezuela. Yee was a standout in the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) with the Georgia Tech Bulldogs. While batting leadoff and playing second base in 2010, she led the NCAA with a .568 batting average while reaching base in all 62 games played. Groenewegen was pitching for the White Rock Renegades rep program when she was selected to play for Canada at last year’s Canadian Open at Softball City. i see page 27

Commonwealth performance ‘beyond our wildest dreams’ i from page 25 Wright, Semiahmoo’s Matt Gallagher, Elgin Park’s Christian Haldane, Southridge’s Drew Coles, Tim Stephens and Nick Collett, and Langley resident Gino Paolella, who plays for the Bayside Sharks. In addition to Blackburn, South Surrey’s Mike Jamieson and Don Wright served as assistant coach and manager, respectively. Rugby league differs from rugby-union play in that there are no scrums or line outs, and is similar to football in that each team has six attempts to move down the field and score. After the sixth attempt, the team with possession is forced to kick the ball away. After opening with back-to-back victories, Canada was bounced from championship contention after a 26-6 loss to Papua New Guinea; the game was Canada’s third of the day. Then, on Day 2, Canada lost a semifinal tilt to Australia, 20-0, finishing in fourth.
The Aussie side was essentially a professional outfit, Blackburn explained, as most members of the team play for the Sydney Roosters in Australia’s pro circuit.

seats are supportive and comfortable. The rear seats too are comfy and slide for and aft for more cargo storage. When placed in the normal position, the legroom isn’t ample but on par with others in this class. Connecting to the Cherokee is a snap with the optional 8.4-inch Uconnect system that pairs with smartphone in seconds, is very quick between commands, and has nice looking graphics. The base screen is five inches but has many of the same functionality. Behind the steering wheel, inside the instrument cluster, is another programmable screen for all the information the driver needs frequently. Drive The base 2.4L 4-cylinder with 184hp is the base engine on all trim levels. For just $1,300 any Cherokee can be equipped with the optional 3.2L V6 engine – making the walk up to this 271hp engine within reach for many buyers. In addition, this is the very first application of a 9-speed automatic anywhere in the auto industry, providing improved fuel economy and drivability. Having a chance to drive both the 4-cylinder and V6 models with the all-new 9-speed automatic, I’m torn. The V6 is the engine of choice for towing, steep mountain

runs and longer distance driving. The flip side is that the 4-cylinder is a very good in-city commuter and the lighter engine helps this Cherokee to corner, brake and manouevre better. The 9-speed automatic shifts quickly and smoothly, in fact I forgot it had so many cogs but it does improve fuel economy with a highway rating of 6.4L/100km with the 4-cylinder and 7.0L with the V6. Most Canadians will opt for the AWD versions thanks to our winter conditions, but here too there are more choices. Jeep has included three AWD systems. The first is a called Active Drive 1 with a selectable drive mode called Select-Terrain, for automatic, snow, mud and sand settings. The second is called Active Drive 2 and offers a two-speed mode for low speed crawling. The most aggressive system is Active Drive Lock, which comes in the off-road purpose-built Cherokee called Trailhawk. The Trailhawk is a ‘real’ Jeep; this is thanks to a locking rear differential and a host of electronic aids. The most impressive feature is the low speed crawling mode for both up and down hill tasks. Therefore, Jeep purists, yes there is a Cherokee for you. Verdict This new Cherokee is off to a fantastic start. Sales are strong and the sharp design is bringing in buyers, not shoving them away. The 2014 Cherokee could not be further away from the last model; this is a thoroughly modern SUV with go-anywhere capability and aroundtown refinement that needs to be experienced.

Chrysler 200 similar but better than predecessor The Chrysler 200 was introduced for the 2011 model year and replaced the outgoing Sebring. It’s available as a mid-sized sedan, with coupe-like styling and a roomy interior, as a hard- or soft-top convertible with two doors and four seats. The 200 is based on the same chassis as the outgoing Sebring, but came with revised suspension geometry, stiffer body mounts, a raised roll centre, new sway bars and a wider rear track to improve both its ride and handling. There were also extensive upgrades to reduce cabin noise and these included acoustic lamination of the front door windows and windshield. The 2011 edition Used prices are of the Chrysler 200 reasonable, from a came in base LX, buyer perspective, Touring, Limited and and there appears to top-line S-trim levels. The base engine is be a good supply of a 173-horsepower, sedans, but not too 2.4-litre, 16-valve many convertibles, four-cylinder. A carry-over engine out there for sale. from Sebring, it Bob McHugh provides good low-end torque, decent fuel economy and is mated with a reliable four-speed automatic. City/highway fuel economy is 9.9/6.7 L/100km. Even the LX edition of the 200 comes with a very good equipment package that includes a tilt and telescoping steering wheel, four-wheel disc brakes with an anti-lock system, remote keyless entry with
‘‘
’’
a security alarm, power windows, locks and mirrors (heated) and air conditioning. The optional and newer 3.6-litre (Pentastar) V6 was a powertrain offering that came with a six-speed automatic. A quieter and smoother performer than the four-cylinder, this V6 can effortlessly produce 283 horsepower. Highway fuel economy (6.8 L/100km) is also impressive and almost the same as the base fourcylinder. Its city rating, however, is 11.0 L/100km. The Chrysler 200 convertible was available with the choice of two automatic-latching power tops. There’s a light-weight fabric-top with a glass back window or a (body colour) fully-retractable steel hard-top. Both types of folding top can also be lowered or raised remotely via the owner’s key fob, which is a neat feature. In addition to being less expensive, the fabric-top is more compact when folded and allows more cargo space in the trunk. The hard-top, on the other hand, can provide a quieter cabin for occupants while driving and it’s more secure when parked. Active safety improved with the addition of both electronic-stability control and traction-control systems as standard equipment in all editions for the 2012 model year. Otherwise, the 200 was unchanged. Some new paint choices were added for the 2013 model year, but other than that the 200 was again unchanged. The 200 comes with an up-to-date complete passive safety package and its crash safety test ratings have been top-notch, both for the sedan and the convertible.
The Chrysler 200 features extensive upgrades to reduce cabin noise, including acoustic lamination of the windshield and the front door windows, according to Driveway columnist Bob McHugh. In fact, the sedan achieved “Top Safety Pick” status with the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety). Consumer Reports rates the 200 as “below average” for predicted reliability, “above average” for owner satisfaction and “average” for owner costs. Used prices are reasonable, from a buyer’s perspective, and there appears to be a good supply of sedans, but not too many convertibles, out there for sale.
The limited trim level visually adds 18-inch polished aluminum wheels, dual exhaust tailpipes and inside upgrades include leather-faced seats. Like most Chrysler products, the 200 offers high content and value, and it’s a good-looking car. Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Appealing to the younger buyer at PortLiving’s Midtown In Metro Vancouver’s thriving housing market, the younger buyer is an important piece of the puzzle, and PortLiving’s Midtown development in Mount Pleasant is a project that is hitting all the right notes for that demographic. “Some neighbourhoods are more appealing to a younger buyer,” says Tobi Reyes, founder of PortLiving. “Mount Pleasant is one of those.” Midtown is a low-rise mixed-used condominium development that is focusing on being both sustainable and
connected. “There’s a lot of heritage in this area,” Reyes says. “We wanted to add to this existing community, not change it. It’s all about getting the vibe of the neighbourhood.” PortLiving conducted the Midtown Experiment earlier this year, allowing businesses to open a pop-up shop for a week to gauge how popular they would be for local residents. Among the requests they had was a coffee shop and a microbrewery. “The sense of identity in the context of a neighbourhood
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
is important to people,” Reyes says. “This area is a bit underserved and a bit overlooked. We wanted to create a sense of community.” The homes themselves are also appealing to a younger buyer, whether they are first-time homeowners or those looking to upgrade from their current place. Among the features are larger covered patios and a shared communal courtyard to encourage mingling with your neighbours. Homeowners will also have access to bazinga!, a social network that connects you with your neighbours, property manager and the developer, as well as a place to keep documents such as warranties and appliance manuals organized. Eco-conscious living is top of mind at Midtown, and homeowners can be part of that with the One Earth Eco Strata Guide, which will offer sustainable living tips for buyers. Reyes is also the director and co-founder of One Earth, so sustainability is extremely important to him. “The buyer support and community support has been really encouraging,” he says. For more information about PortLiving’s Midtown, visit www.livingmidtown.com or call out 604-563-3330.

The homes at Misson Group Homes’ Secret Ridge are spacious and elegant, with plenty of natural light, custom wood shaker cabinetry in the kitchen, above, luxurious bathrooms, top right, and tons of space for entertaining or relaxing.
A hidden gem is found at Secret Ridge By Kerry Vital
Secret Ridge, built by Mission Group Homes on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain, is no longer a secret due to its amazing location, stunning homes and large floorplans. “You won’t find this anywhere else in Metro Vancouver,” says sales manager Barbara Hughes. “They feel like single-family homes, without the maintenance and upkeep.” The duplex homes, which Mission Group calls “paired homes” and which are more than double the size of a usual townhome, have already garnered an extremely positive response. The project is over 75 per cent sold, and Hughes notes that the location is one of the biggest draws. “It’s a beautiful setting,” she says. “There’s no one near you, so it feels incredibly private.” Secret Ridge is situated within the Foothills at Burke Mountain community, and bordered by East and West Smiling Creek, making your new home feel like it’s a part of nature. “This a really unique product offering in a beautiful, growing community,” says JoAnne Adamson, director of sales at Mission Group. “It’s an ideal location; there’s no one else offering this kind of opportunity.”
Craftsman-style architecture lends itself to great curb appeal, along with spacious southfacing covered decks and patios, double-wide attached garages and painted wooden fences surrounding each yard. Inside, rich wood laminate flooring throughout the main living areas and soaring vaulted ceilings (with many up to 17 feet) on the main floor welcome you home. The gourmet kitchen includes custom wood shaker cabinetry, complemented by double thick polished granite countertops with a full-height mosaic tiled backsplash, an expansive kitchen island and undercabinet lighting for extra illumination while you cook. Homeowners can choose Kitchen Aid stainless-steel appliances as an optional upgrade. Luxurious bathrooms are another feature of Secret Ridge. All of them include custom wood shaker cabinetry, with the master ensuite going above and beyond with their own double thick granite countertops and large format polished porcelain tile flooring. The main bathroom and secondary ensuite (depending on floor plan) have square-edge laminate countertops, a full-width vanity mirror and a soaker tub and/or full height shower with a gorgeous tile surround. The master-on-main floorplans have been appealing to downsizers and young families alike, Hughes says. One of the floorplans actually has two master suites; one on the main floor and one on the upper floor. “It works well for people who have family living with them,” Hughes says. “It’s very
appealing that way.” Because the homes are paired with another one, all of them are prime corner homes, and have been built wider than any other home in the area. “I can’t stress enough how large these homes feel,” Hughes says. “ Homeowners at Secret Ridge are within easy driving distance to everything the Tri Cities have to offer, including dining,
shopping, leisure opportunities and excellent schools. Burke Mountain itself is steadily growing, with its own restaurants, retail opportunities, trails and schools. Remaining homes at Secret Ridge start at $669,900. For more information, visit www. secretridge.ca, call 604-916-8805 or stop by the display home at #105-3458 Burke Village Promenade, open Saturday to Wednesday between noon and 5 p.m.

I’ve come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me. I want no rites in a gloom filled room why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little but not too long and not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared miss me but let me go. For this a journey that we must take and each must go alone. It’s all a step in the master’s plan a step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart go to the friends we know And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss Me-But Let Me Go
