Pedestrian critical, dog killed in crash Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A South Surrey senior is in hospital with critical, life-altering injuries, after she and her dog were struck by an SUV as they walked in the 3400-block of King George Boulevard Monday night. Impact of the silver Mercedes, which police say was driven by a 17-year-old girl, threw 66-year-old Jocelyn Hallier into nearby bushes. Hallier’s dog, a female German shepherd named DeVelle, did not survive. Passersby told police the northbound SUV – with six teenagers inside – hit the pair after slamming into the back of an illegally parked car during an attempt to pass another vehicle on the shoulder, just after 10 p.m. Witness Jazz Mattu said he was about 300 metres behind the Mercedes when he saw it go off the road. He estimated it was travelling at 100 to 130 km/h when it passed him seconds before. “The car slightly swerved, you see that it lost total control,” he said. “It plowed into that (parked) car, took down the lamp post and there was a big dust ball from the grit that was on the side of the road. “I had a gut feeling that it was extremely bad from the speed at which they were doing.” i see page 4

Overflow crowd packs forum on waterfront-train safety, regulation

Mayor warns of federal indifference to rail fears Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

More than 300 people packed the White Rock Community Centre Monday night for a “community dialogue” on rail safety and the transportation of dangerous goods. Touted as an opportunity to “dispel recent misinformation” concerning the waterfront tracks, the event – moderated by Surrey–Panorama MLA Marvin Hunt – featured a panel of city and BNSF officials, as well as transportation consultant Mary-Jane Bennett. Those who turned out to listen, comment and question – and occasionally applaud agreement or scoff disgust – were not just

Attendees take part in ‘community dialogue.’ from White Rock, Coun. Grant Meyer noted. “It’s obviously an issue that affects the whole

region,” he told Peace Arch News the next day, citing representation from cities including Surrey, North Delta and Langley. “It’s not just us, and some of the stuff that’s going on could set precedence anywhere in Canada.” The seaside tracks have been a source of growing concern and frustration for the past year – particularly since a jogger was struck and killed by an Amtrak passenger train on East Beach last July. The tragedy occurred within days of the derailment in Lac Mégantic, Que., which killed 47 people and drew local attention to the deteriorating condition of the Little Campbell rail bridge. That, in turn, reignited a call to relocate the tracks

away from the increasingly busy waterfront. Mayor Wayne Baldwin told forum attendees the Lac Mégantic incident was “a gamechanger” for White Rock. It highlighted concerns with the transport of dangerous goods such as crude oil and chlorine along the line – issues Bennett told the crowd “that everybody in White Rock should be reminded of and take part in (finding) a solution.” A chlorine spill in a major city could kill 100,000 people within 30 minutes, she said. Bennett, a former board member of the Canadian Transportation Agency, said such high-risk cargoes comprise five per cent of i see page 5

irresponsible in the extreme. Whether a new city hall was necessary is debatable, but it did set the tone for investment in the Surrey City Centre area, and there has been significant private sector investment following the city’s decision to relocate the hall there. Transportation is a major problem. However, Surrey is just one voice of many at TransLink. The latest plan put forward by mayors does address Surrey’s most pressing needs, but whether the plan will ever come to fruition is a big question. McCallum has chaired the TransLink board. He knows the challenges facing the region, and the reluctance of the province to allow TransLink access to more taxation options. Discussion of the ward system would be welcome. The current system, particularly with no limits on campaign spending, favours developer-backed candidates. The size of the city and number of voters means no independent (unless elected first as part of a slate) can ever be elected to council. Thus slates like Surrey First, SET and others have dominated council for years. There needs to be far more genuine voices from different areas of the city raised at the council table, and a ward system is the only realistic way for that to happen. It will also help voter turnout, as it will be much easier for voters to elect one councillor than try and choose eight. I wish McCallum and all the other candidates nothing but the best, and I’m sure it will be an exciting race for mayor this fall. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News.

Health minister says new focus, after seven-month review, is on reducing ER use

Fraser Health staff busy ‘putting out fires’ Jeff Nagel Black Press

A seven-month review of Fraser Health has resulted in a new strategy that focuses on cutting unnecessary use of hospital emergency rooms in favour of improved primary and community care. Health Minister Terry Lake said Wednesday that too many patients in the region aren’t getting the appropriate type of care and are suffering worse outcomes, compared to other peer hospitals in Canada. “When you provide that care in the community, you take the pressure off the acutecare setting,” Lake said. “That helps look after your budget problem as well.” Average lengths of hospital stays are longer

in Fraser, Lake said, increasing risks of picking up infections in hospital or problems like bed sores. The concept is far from new. Fraser has been trying for years to clear its congested ERs with a shift to preventative or home health care. Although Lake did not criticize past efforts, he said the time was right for a strategic “data-driven” re-examination of the issues for the region, whose staff had been too bogged down in “putting out fires.” Some of the overuse of hospital ERs instead of community clinics may be related to cultural differences among the region’s large South Asian population, Lake said. The region will get a modest infusion of extra money – $40 million in 2014/15

and $20 million in 2015/16 – to assist with community-care beds during the transition. Lake said the findings confirmed Fraser’s budget of $3.1 billion has been appropriate in recent years, in light of its population of 1.7 million, rapid growth rate and demographics. “It’s not a matter of dollars,” he said. Funding for Fraser is slated to climb 4.3 per cent in 2014, 1.4 per cent in 2015 and 1.2 per cent to more than $3.3 billion in 2016. The review was ordered by Lake last November, largely in response to the health authority’s inability to avoid budget overruns. The resulting strategic and operational plan sets out 10 priority actions for improvement. Among them is a recommendation that trauma, cardiac and stroke programs

be more efficiently co-ordinated across the Lower Mainland’s two health authorities. Lake ruled out a full merger of the Fraser and Vancouver Coastal health authorities, but said the ministry will continue to examine whether to carve off the Burnaby local health area and add it to Vancouver Coastal because of the significant number of Burnaby patients who are treated in Vancouver. Meanwhile, a search is underway for a new president and CEO of Fraser Health to replace former top executive Dr. Nigel Murray, who resigned last month. Fraser is also without a permanent board chair. Interim chair Wynne Powell has been filling in since Lake terminated former chair David Mitchell, saying fresh eyes were needed to finalize the review.

Washington State issues licences for retail marijuana stores

Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man believed connected to a break-in last month in South Surrey’s Morgan Creek area. Crime Stoppers released details of the incident, along with a surveillance-camera image, in announcing plans to highlight a ‘Crime of the Week’ initiative that starts Monday. According to the report, a resident found a stranger rummaging through his home around 4 p.m. June 9. When the intruder bolted, the homeowner gave chase, tackling him to the ground. Unfortunately, the stranger managed to get away. Money, jewelry and house keys were discovered missing from the targeted home. Police want to find the man whose image was captured by a neighbour’s surveillance system. The footage shows a man with close-cropped hair, wearing shorts and a T-shirt and carrying what looks like a blue and black bag. Anyone with information on the man’s identity is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

B.C. eyes pot sales south of border Jeff Nagel Black Press

Washington State’s first two dozen approved retail marijuana stores include two outlets in Bellingham and others in communities just south of the Okanagan. The state approved the licences early this week and several of them opened their doors within 24 hours. “We’re opening tomorrow at eight o’clock,” Tom Beckley said Monday. “We’ve secured 20 pounds plus.” He’s the owner of Top Shelf Cannabis in Bellingham, and the electrician joins the ranks of a new class of marijuana entrepreneurs since the

state legalized recreational use of the drug and adult possession of small quantities in 2012. But there are growing pains. Approved producers of cannabis in the state have been slow to get enough product grown and ready for market, so the supply shortage has meant higher-than-expected prices as stores open. Beckley predicts most stores will charge $15 to $20 a gram – more than double the prices in B.C. pot dispensaries. “After a few months I think the prices will come back down when more growers come on line.” Beckley planned to charge $10 a gram for his first customers on the basis that a lower intro-

ductory price would be “good for the state” on the first day of retail pot operations. By late afternoon Tuesday, Top Shelf reportedly made more than 400 transactions. No Blaine or Point Roberts applicants were approved in the initial announcement, but more are expected to get the green light from the state’s liquor control board. Other approved stores are in the Everett area. There are two more further east in Winthrop and Okanogan and two more in Spokane. B.C. marijuana advocates have said the price of pot in the province has been declining as Americans gain easier access to the drug at home.

Caution urged as Surrey suffers more pedestrian injuries

Teens hit in crosswalk Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Two people are in hospital after being struck by a pickup truck in Cedar Hills Tuesday. At about 10 a.m., two teenage girls were crossing at a crosswalk near 96 Avenue and 122 Street when they were hit by a Dodge Ram pickup. They were rushed to hospital and are reportedly in serious condition. Police say the driver remained at the scene and is co-operating with police. The Surrey RCMP’s Criminal Collision Investigation Team is investigating. It follows another serious crash in the 3400-block

of King George Boulevard that killed a dog and seriously injured a woman. “This is the second serious pedestrian motor vehicle collision in 24 (hours) in Surrey,” said Surrey RCMP Sgt. Dale Carr. “While the warmer weather always brings more residents and visitors to our roadways, drivers and pedestrians need to take the necessary precautions and understand that road safety is a shared responsibility.” Still later Tuesday, a man was hit by a 65-year-old man driving a Pontiac Sunfire in Fleetwood. At 5:30 p.m., two men were crossing 140 Street, near 85 Avenue, when the Sunfire struck one of them. He suffered minor injuries.

“I just kind of told her we all loved her, and a tear came out of her eye. I have a feeling she heard me,” he said. “We’re all rooting for her, all saying a prayer one way or another.” Nemeth said the crash highlights the need for traffic calming along the busy thoroughfare. “For years, I’ve been complaining that traffic moves too fast down there. I’ve seen all kinds of accidents… a lot of close calls,” he said. “The customers tell me they’re risking their lives every time they slow down to turn in. “I’ve complained to the police.

Investigation is ongoing by Surrey RCMP’s Criminal Collision Investigation Team and the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service to determine the driver’s actions prior to the crash, and other contributing factors. Anyone with information who has not already spoken to police is asked to call 604-599-0502. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

a member of the public on the other end,” he said. The mayor directed them to contact information for three Transport Canada officials – details that were among stacks of photocopied documents prepared for forum attendees interested in the paper trail behind the waterfront developments. In one letter to BNSF regarding “insufficient” steps to improve the White Rock situation following a Feb. 24 notice, a Transport Canada inspector notes he had expected railway and city officials to agree on crossing warning systems, 1.8-metre-high fencing for the promenade and “other related issues.” Hunt delivered a statement from Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert, in which it was noted fencing “will not necessarily improve safety.” Hiebert encouraged “personal responsibility and common sense on the part of everyone who visits the beach.”

BNSF’s Tim Vanpopta and Benjamin Marx address crowd.

Attendees’ questions to the panel began after a light-hearted but sincere appeal from Hunt to those wanting answers from the BNSF panelists: “These men take orders from others. Let’s please be kind to the sweet men who come.” Questions that followed included what could citizens do to prepare for a spill; if the volume of the train whistles could be adjusted; how many times train engineers have to blow their whistles along the waterfront; why coal trains aren’t covered; and, what they thought of relocating the tracks. Bennett’s description of the latter as “the best solution for White Rock” was met with applause, cheers and whistles. One woman who told BNSF representatives that the train noise “is wrecking my life” said the time to relocate the line is now. Asked if the “endless nighttime howling” can be quelled, the railway’s Benjamin Marx was jeered when he said there’s “usually a reason” for what residents feel is excessive whistling. Marine Drive resident Madeleine Buhlau told the panel she is driving to work sleep-drived every morning due to the trains. “That’s not safe,” she said. Buhlau and her husband, Ralph, later told PAN that while the evening provided a better understanding of what has happened so far, they felt it was more about “passing the buck.”

Poor regulatory oversight by Transport Canada only exacerbates the problem, she said. Transport Canada officials were invited to Monday’s meeting, but did not attend. Baldwin noted that response to a letter of concern sent to Minister of Transportation Lisa Raitt last fall was received just this month. He described the federal government’s “total indifference” to the city’s concerns as “astonishing.” Regarding pedestrian safety, Meyer told attendees the public’s disregard for rules around the tracks – including to not walk on them – played a large role in events that culminated last month in the installation of a locked gate at the West Beach boat launch, and fencing at the westernmost end of Bayview Park. “Not adhering to that is what got us into this mess,” Meyer said. “Please be careful down there. You learn that when you’re a kid, so let’s keep that up.” Baldwin credited citizens – “people power” – with effecting the gate’s removal two weeks later, and he urged those with concerns to put them directly to Transport Canada officials. “The very worst thing that a senior civil servant can face is to pick up the phone and find

hile the BC Liberals aren’t about to win any awards for superior governance for the last 14 months, the NDP opposition doesn’t make much of a case for trophies either. On a daily basis, the NDP shows a cynical view of the electorate, underestimating the smarts of B.C. residents while it continues to play the same game that’s been played in this province for decades. If the Liberals say white, the NDP will say black. Wow, there’s some real strategy. Latest case in point: the NDP’s attack on the Liberals after it was announced last week BC Ferries has awarded the $165-million designbuild contract to a Polish company. The NDP news release talked about how the Liberals have “given up on creating jobs” here and “are doing nothing” to help the B.C. shipbuilding industry. Nowhere in the NDP news release does it mention the fact that the only Canadian firm shortlisted for the ferries contract that eventually went to the Polish company – North Vancouver’s Seaspan Marine – pulled out of the bidding, saying it was too busy with upcoming contracts. An oversight by the people writing NDP news releases? Are these the same people who worked on their party’s polling before the last provincial election? We can’t believe they didn’t know the Seaspan Marine angle, so we have to assume they left that information out of the release on purpose. This is the same nonsense that has turned voters off party politics. It’s not like the NDP has cornered the market on this cynical game of disrespecting voters. The Liberals – the kings and queens of sloganism – aren’t much better. And judging from what we hear from the BC Conservative Party, that’s no source of fresh air either. The residents of B.C. deserve better from the government and its opposition. Tell the truth. Park the spin. Quit playing the same game you have been for a century.

a decent air mattress, which is about the only thing that separates me from a hibernating bear. But still, organization is a problem, especially for an obsessive-compulsivetype like me, who insists everything be in its right place, even in a tent. Food, too – specifically, keeping it cold – becomes an issue, as anyone who has ever camped for more than a few days at a time well knows. So there I was, on the fourth day of our expedition, standing in front of my small barbecue, cooking a defrosted-for-far-toolong steak that had spend the previous few days sitting under an ice block, inside a cooler which itself had been sitting inside the door of a too-hot tent. And as I weighed the pros and cons of starvation versus food poisoning, the door of my friend’s air-conditioned 26-foot trailer swung open, and out he walked with a pizza. A pizza! “Oh, it’s warmer out here than I thought,” he said, as sweat beaded on my ever-furrowing brow just a few feet away. Right there, on the spot, I decided I was buying a trailer in time for next summer. No more sleeping at night with four layers of clothes on, only to tear them off in a sweaty panic at 7 a.m. No more accidentally hitting your thumb – rather than the tent peg – with the hammer. No more eating questionable meat from the bottom of a watery cooler. No, I thought to myself. No more of any of that. Jeez, maybe I really am getting soft.

Cacophany on the waterfront

Animal abuse dismissed here

Editor: The new whistle-blowing regulation being followed by trains transiting the White Rock beach area is quite simply intolerable. For an area previously designated a “quiet zone” under city bylaws, this volte-face is especially egregious. I, for one, have no wish to live in a nanny state. And certainly not in one where the nursery is so noisy! Efforts to keep us all from every harm, at the cost of depriving us of sleep, are too high a price to pay. The placement of these rail tracks in the first place was, of course, a monumental planning error. Since the line looks to be operational into the foreseeable future, let us not compound the mistake further. When BNSF was permitted to lay the tracks a century ago, “trespass” across the tracks to the beach was surely a foreseeable outcome. What was not foreseeable was the present volume of goods traffic, especially coal-carrying trains, nor the mushrooming population on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. Further accommodation must now be achieved, not only by BNSF and Transport Canada, but also by the people who come to our beachfront. These people must surely appreciate that making close, personal contact with a train is a no-win situation. Social Darwinism awaits those for whom this is too difficult a concept. Tough love perhaps, but the noisy alternative on offer is Kafkaesque. Transport Canada must be made to understand this. By all means, put up signs, paint the road surfaces, install warning lights, etc. But for goodness sake, let us have the “quiet zone” restored to our seafront. Gerard Ponsford, White Rock Q I have lived on Victoria Avenue for over 10 years. People always ask me, “Don’t the trains bother you?” And I have always been able to answer that I don’t even hear them. Until now! This morning (July 3) finally pushed me to write this letter. At 4:58 a.m., the train honked between 50 and 100 times. I didn’t start counting until I was fully awake and stopped counting at 50! Really? I actually got up to see if there was something going on at the beach. No! Not one person around, and we get close to 100 honks before 5 a.m. Another example of this ridiculous vendetta was on Sunday, June 22, when a train at 5:52 a.m. honked at least 100 times along the beach. Other trains, even at times when people are actually out and about, honk strategically along the beach, probably covering their requirements in a more respectful way. I know we live in a beautiful place and there are few people who would think we have anything to complain about. However, it is noise pollution and, as good neighbours, the U.S. company should find a more respectful way to comply with these ridiculous Transport Canada requirements until a better solution is found. Some engineers are able to do this. Why not all? Gayle Greveling, White Rock

Editor: Re: Surrey puts heat on abusive drivers, July 1. It’s about time! Kudos to the City of Surrey on its new bylaws concerning the chaining of dogs and tougher laws on leaving dogs in cars. Both laws are long overdue, tying the SPCA’s hands in administering charges against those who feel they have the right to abuse animals. Yes, folks, leaving a dog locked in a car is abuse, and yet walk through any parking lot and you will hear dogs barking to be freed. It is very hard to understand how our ‘Canadian culture’ – which continually berates others for their abuse of animals – can continue to dismiss the abuse here at home. Every day, farm animals and domestic pets are suffering at the hands of our so-called civilized society, and we do little or nothing. The odd abuser may pay a small fine and spend a few weeks in jail and told they are prohibited from owning a pet for a number of years. What a laugh. Who monitors them? How many other animals might suffer by their neglect before they are caught – again? British Columbians brag about our natural beauty and wildlife, but there is a dark side to the abuse that

our urban creatures endure. Each year Critter Care Wildlife Society receives a number of animals that have been abused by humans. Case in point, a recent call to the centre demanded that two baby raccoons found hiding beside a hot tub be removed immediately or they would club them to death with a shovel. Critter Care staff rushed to the address only to find the babies struggling to survive in a half filled slimy garbage can. The kits were soaked, thin, dehydrated and crying. Staff discovered the babes had been kept for a week as pets and fed donuts, cheap pies and other sweets by their druggie rescuers, and when their crying from the pain of distended bellies and diarrhea upset the humans, they threw them over the fence. Unfortunately, the neighbour, another druggie, tossed them into the garbage, where they were rescued and taken for emergency care to Critter Care. Happily, after many days of intensive care. the kits are on the road to recovery. Who knows what psychological trauma they suffered? That same week, the shelter took in another baby raccoon who had been shot in the face with a pellet gun. Where is the legislation for their welfare? To find out more about how you can help our urban wildlife, visit Critter Care’s open house July 12-13 (www.crittercarewildlife.org). Dee Walmsley, Surrey

Archaic rule over dogs Editor: Re: Cities of first impressions, July 1 letters. I have to agree with the letter from James Taylor in the Peace Arch News. My husband and I recently purchased property in White Rock and we have a friendly medium-size lab cross. It would be so delightful to take her on a morning or evening walk along the promenade. I don’t understand why dogs are not allowed. There is a beautiful seawall around Stanley Park in Vancouver and everybody can enjoy it, both people and their animals, joggers, walkers etc. Ninety-eight per cent of people do pick up after their dogs and do so diligently. It is just the two per cent who can’t be bothered to do so and that wrecks it for everybody else. It is too bad we can’t impose a huge fine if caught for these inconsiderate people. For the large amount of taxes that White Rock collects each year, one would think the citizens would have more say in what goes on in their own backyard – or seashore, in this case. I believe it is time to revamp this archaic decision for the dog owners and their wonderful pets. Sue Ozero, White Rock

Much left behind on your beach

questions?

Contributed photo

Editor: I walk the beach every day in White Rock and see the lack of respect by local people about their litter that is left behind. After the Canada Day fireworks display, it became evident that only two people regularly pick up the trash left by a small handful of people – one being me and the other being a 75-year-old man who does this every day. Neither of us are on the city payroll. After the July 1 fireworks, I personally picked up 20 bags of garbage, which I left on the West Beach lawn. The old man, not as able bodied, picked up at least 40 bags, which as of this writing are still sitting by the

railroad tracks. Something needs to be done. Enforcement is not working, because people only receive warnings about drinking and having fires late at night, which is where most of this trash comes from. Or city council needs to have a crew of people responsible for cleaning the beach. This would never happen in Vancouver, so why is it OK here in White Rock? Me, I am far from OK with it, as homeless people are also living down here and contributing to the mess. Please help with this problem. Lee Lewis, White Rock

Crown cites overwhelming circumstantial evidence

Evidence in Surrey Six trial ‘inadequate’ Vikki Hopes Black Press

The Crown’s evidence is “woefully inadequate” against accused killer Cody Haevischer, his lawyer Simon Buck said Monday in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver. During the start of his Ed Schellenberg Victim closing submissions in the Surrey Six murder trial, Buck cited previous testimony from the Crown’s three key witnesses that he said was conflicting and unreliable. “The Crown has focused on the amount of evidence, not the quality of evidence,” Buck said.

Chris Mohan Victim

Haevischer and coaccused Matthew Johnston are charged with conspiracy to murder drug dealer Corey Lal and with the first-degree murder of Lal and his brother Michael, Eddie Narong, Ryan Bartolomeo and innocent victims Ed Schellenberg of Abbotsford and Chris

Mohan of Surrey. The six were fatally shot on Oct. 19, 2007 in the Balmoral Tower apartments in North Surrey, near the King George Skytrain station. The Crown’s closing submissions were pre-

sented last week. Prosecutor Mark Levitz, during the first day of closing submissions July 2, cited a “powerful body of circumstantial evidence” against Haevischer and Johnston. The Crown’s case alleges that Lal was the target of the hit, and the other five were killed because they were witnesses. On Monday, Buck referenced the testimony of Michael Le, who previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder in the case, and to two others who can only be identified as Person Y, who is currently serving a life sentence for two unrelated murders, and K.M., Haevisher’s former girlfriend. Buck said among conflicting testimony from the three were statements from Le and Person Y concerning a meeting that

Personal planning is important to ensure that your wishes will be respected should a time come when you need assistance or must rely on someone else to make decisions for you. Most of us hope and expect to be able to make our own decisions throughout our lives, choosing where we live, managing our money, and making decisions about our health care. Yet, life is unpredictable. A sudden accident or illness can change everything. Sometimes, our ability to make decisions changes slowly, especially as we age. The best that we can do for ourselves and for those who care about us is to plan ahead. In BC, adults have a choice of legal personal planning options you can use to ensure your wishes are known and can be followed when you have passed away and while you are still alive, if the need arises. I would like to highlight 4 personal planning options:

ENDURING POWER OF ATTORNEY (EPOA) An EPOA allows your attorney (the person appointed by you) to manage your legal and financial affairs in your place. This is particularly useful if you become incapacitated due to physical or mental health problems, or in the event of your absence.

REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT (RA) An RA is a legal planning document that allows you to give someone you trust the legal authority to help you make decisions or to represent you and make decisions for you if you are incapable of making decisions independently. An RA can cover your personal and/or health care decisions which can include end of life decision making. It can also cover management of your routine financial affairs.

ADVANCE DIRECTIVE (AD) An AD is a fairly new legal document which came into effect September 1, 2011. An AD is a written instruction that gives or refuses consent to health care treatment at a time when the health care is needed and the adult who makes it is not capable of giving or refusing consent or treatment.

occurred at a Korean restaurant in Cloverdale in the hours before the murders. The Crown alleges that this was one of two restaurant meetings held to confirm plans – laid out by Red Scorpion leader Jamie Bacon, formerly of Abbotsford – to kill Lal, who had not paid a $100,000 “tax” ordered by Bacon. Le testified that Johnston was at the Korean restaurant meeting, while Person Y indicated that he was not, Buck said. The lawyer also said several conflicting statements were made by K.M. both in her discussions with police and on the stand. “(She) repeatedly lied to police… As such, she is a person of bad character… She was self-motivated and had no respect for the justice system,” Buck said.

A properly executed will creates certainty of your intentions for the distribution of assets and personal effects and the guardianship of minor children. It designates who is responsible for carrying out your wishes (an executor) and covers other vital details such as funeral arrangements. Without a will there is doubt, anxiety, stress, hurt feelings, and delays in administering the estate. The kindest thing you can do for your loved ones is to leave your affairs in good order. I invite you to start the process by contacting my office and scheduling an appointment in which your options will be fully explained.

a carbon tax reallocation or a new regional carbon tax, TransLink mayors’ council chair Richard Walton has said the mayors intend to instead consider a vehicle levy or regional sales tax. He wouldn’t discuss whether road pricing should capture out-of-region drivers, calling it a policy question that will need extensive debate. A vehicle levy would presumably apply only on Metro-registered vehicles, while a regional sales tax might capture some spending by non-residents, for example, when they pay for entertainment and major events in Vancouver. Winter said he hopes the mayors abandon any attempt to create an additional carbon tax. “The impact on the economy would be horrendous,” he said. “We would see a significant flight of businesses out of Metro Vancouver to do business elsewhere.” But he added it might be “another disaster” to bolt a new regional sales tax to the PST, which the business group still wants to see harmonized with the GST despite the defeat and repeal of the HST. “Why isn’t property tax on the table?” Winter asked. “We fully recognize we can’t afford to fund the whole system through propery tax.

152 Street closed for an hour

Garbage truck fire blocks traffic A fire in the bed of a garbage truck blocked traffic on a busy South Surrey thoroughfare last Thursday afternoon. Smoke could be seen billowing from the truck as Surrey firefighters arrived to extinguish the small fire on 152 Street near 21 Avenue and relieve a Good Samaritan that had been directing traffic around the truck. According to Surrey RCMP, which attended the scene to assist firefighters, cardboard in the truck caught fire. The cause is unknown. North and southbound lanes on 152 Street were blocked off to traffic for an hour as the driver of the garbage truck was instructed to dump the contents of the truck onto the street so firefighters could completely extinContributed photo guish the flames. – Sarah Massah Firefighters extinguish a small fire inside a garbage truck last Thursday.

uestion: My dad died leaving my mother quite wealthy and she has now died and my sister and I intend to quit our jobs and live off our inheritance. Someone has written saying that she is the natural child of my mother who was born out of wedlock before my father met my mother. She says my mother’s parents made a deal with a childless couple and she was raised by them but never adopted. She asked if my mother made a bequest to her. I wrote her and told her off. I have never heard of her and my sister and I have no intention of giving any part of our inheritance to her. I say this interloper has no rights but my sister thinks she does? Who is right?

A

nswer: Your sister is right. If your unknown half sister can prove the fact of being the natural daughter of your mother through DNA or other means, she has a claim against your mother’s estate under the Wills Variation Act. She could get quite a substantial portion of the estate. Don’t quit your jobs. NEW CLIENTS WELCOME

Beach House Theatre Society transforms Blackie Spit parking lot

Pirates move into Crescent Beach park Alex Browne

I

Arts Reporter

t’s back, it’s live and it’s here in our own beautiful, oceanside backyard. Beach House Theatre Society presents its third season of Shakespeare – and second of Robert Munsch – next month in Crescent Beach. Imaginative costumes and scenery, first-class technical work by technical director Geoff McEvoy and a cast of eager, young professional-calibre players are all set to transform the parking lot at Blackie Spit once more into a theatrical environment that returning actor James Walker calls “its own magical, little village.” But live-theatre fans shouldn’t wait too long to buy tickets. While there’s still a window of opportunity to reserve seats, with only one week of performances, it’s a window that will rapidly close. For this year’s main production, Beach House is presenting one of the bard’s loopiest and best-loved farces, The Comedy of Errors (Aug. 12-17, 8 p.m.). Adding even more swashbuckling appeal, Beach House’s version is in decidedly piratical vein – a production set in the Caribbean in 1725. And Beach House is repeating a winning formula introduced last year by presenting another show aimed at exposing children to the idea of live theatre. Like last year’s Munsch Ado About Nothing, The Three Munschketeers (Aug. 11-15, 11 a.m.) is a family-friendly show based on the popular children’s books of Robert Munsch: featuring Matt Falletta and Courtney Shields, both players who connected with audiences in 2013. Beach House creators and artistic directors Candace Radcliffe and Rick Harmon acknowledged that, in year three, the company is no longer an untested product – there’s no need to “reinvent the wheel” each season. By the same token, they said, there are always new challenges to be met and mastered, aside from a general determination to build on past strengths. Again, the season emphasizes Beach House’s community roots and a mission to involve youth in theatre, they added – a natural

Munsch show stage manager Samantha Paras, now in the stagecraft program at Douglas College, started with Beach House when she was in Grade 11. And this year’s Beach House scholarship winner, Marriott grad Riley Leiper, who’s heading to Capilano College in the fall, has

been operating complex sound cues for the company since she first volunteered in Grade 10. They’re also bringing back two popular players – Aaron Holt (Sebastian in 2013’s Twelfth Night) and CTC nominee James Walker (Theseus in 2012’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream) – as comedy leads. They’re double cast as two sets of like-named identical twins – Antipholus (Holt, master) and Dromio (Walker, servant) – who have co-existed, blissfully unaware

of their corresponding doubles, in the cities of Syracuse and Ephesus. Not a problem, one might say – until the day that one set of twins stumbles into the city of the other… Needless to say, there’s plenty of opportunity for the actors to exploit the comedic mayhem and confusion that results when mistaken identities pile error upon error. Given Shakespeare’s characterization of the cities of Syracuse and Ephesus, and the coastal,

island landscape suggested, setting the play in the West Indies of the early 1700s seemed a natural fit, said Harmon. “There’s a little bit of a lawless feel to the times,” he said, “as though the towns of Syracuse and Ephesus are areas where privateers and pirates might have settled.” Radcliffe noted she and Harmon have done a slight re-arrangement of scenes to provide a more upbeat beginning. “The actual script opens with a very serious scene of a man facing execution for breaking trade laws,” she said. “We’re opening with the dance and festive fun and high comedy elements of the play.” “It’s also Shakespeare’s shortest play, and one of his most accessible,” Harmon noted. One of the biggest challenges is to make the business of two sets of twins being mistaken for each other work – and Harmon said the best choice is to have one actor play each set, augmented by some “cheating” and body doubles.” “We put it to both actors, at the auditions, whether they’d be up to the challenge,” Harmon said. “The first thing I said to Rick was how long are both roles,” Walker said. “He gave me the word count – 65 lines to 450 – and said ‘you can do it.’ Regardless of what anyone else says, I’m going to get it by opening night.” To make the comedy work, the changes between both Dromios have to be subtle. “Hopefully that will play out and come out,” he said. “Dromio of Ephesus and Dromio of Syracuse have two very different upbringings – while they’re both servants, one is of the higher strata and one is of the lower strata.” Holt, a 2013 graduate of Douglas College’s theatre program, said he’s delighted to be back as both versions of Antipholus. “I knew at the end of the last show that I’d be coming back to audition for this year,” he said. “I love working with these guys – it’s really special working with something that’s relatively new and seeing it grow each year.” For reservations and information, visit beachhousetheatre.org or email tickets@beachhousetheatre.org

Artists sought for new mural

FREE

The Langley Arts Council and the Langley Heritage Society are joining forces to produce a set of historically themed murals and are looking to a renowned Canadian artist and a few young newcomers to help out. The murals will be unveiled during B.C. Culture Days in September and placed on permanent display at the Langley Centennial Museum & Exhibition Centre in Fort Langley. The Arts Council and Heritage Society are currently seeking artists between the ages of 16 and 20 to volunteer for this major project, which will be co-ordinated and mentored by wellknown Fort Langley artist Alan Wylie. Wylie has painted numerous murals in cities and towns across North America and in Scotland. Wylie has now been commissioned by the Langley Arts Council,

through a Township of Langley “Nothing Without Effort” grant, to paint a three-panel mural at the museum. He has agreed to train and mentor up to six young people as part of this initiative. The selected young artists will paint an additional three panel mural which will also be displayed on the outdoor walls of the museum. “After many years of painting extraordinary murals in major cities across North America, this will be Wylie’s first outdoor public art work for the Township,” said Peter Tulumello, cultural services manager with the Township of Langley. “We are so pleased that the Arts Council and Heritage Society chose the Langley Centennial Museum as the site for this installation.” Young artists wishing to participate are asked to call the Museum at 604-532-3536 or email ptulumello@tol.ca

‘Mutual’ parting of ways

C Superweek has touched down again in the Lower Mainland, with the weeklong cycling series set for White Rock this weekend. The first of three races on the Tour de White Rock schedule is set for Friday, when the hill climb is staged on Buena Vista Avenue – between Oxford and Martin streets. Spectators who line the sidewalks will watch cyclists race – two at a time – up the steep incline, putting their lungs and legs to the test. The women’s event will start at 6 p.m., with the men’s pro division planned for 6:30 p.m. On Saturday, the action moves to uptown White Rock for the popular criterium, in which riders will pedal around a short onekm course that includes Johnston Road and

friendly races of Superweek, which began last Friday with two races in Delta, and continued throughout the week with the UBC Grand Prix, Gastown Grand Prix and Giro di Burnaby. The first criterium race, for men’s category 3-4 riders, is scheduled for 4 p.m., with the women’s pro and men’s pro divisions set for 5 p.m. and 6 p.m., respectively. The third and final event on the Tour de White Rock schedule goes Sunday morning, as men and women riders strap in for the grueling Peace Arch News road race, which sees competitors tackle some of the most grueling – but also most scenic – roadways on the Superweek menu. The men’s race is 134-km long – 11 laps on a long course, and the final five on a shorter one – while the women’s race is eight long i see page 40

GOOD LUCK !

One of the worst-kept secrets around the BC Hockey League – that Peter Schaefer will not return as the head coach and general manager of the Surrey Eagles next season – was confirmed Tuesday by Schaefer himself. “No, I won’t be going back as the coach and GM,” he told the Peace Arch News, adding that the decision is a “mutual” parting of the ways between the club and himself. With Surrey Eagles president/owner Chuck Westgard Peter Schaefer former coach taking sole control of the team in late April – buying out his old partners and bringing Pro4 Sports into the fold – Schaefer characterized the coaching decision as one based, at least in part, by finances. “There’s no animosity, nothing like that,” he said. “But it’s tough to make (a profit) in junior hockey, so the team’s looking to tighten things up.” Westgard said financial considerations “were part of it” but the team also wanted to change its organizational structure, as well. Tuesday afternoon – an hour after PAN reported Schaefer was leaving – the team announced that Blaine Neufeld, who was named the director of hockey operations when Pro4 Sports came aboard in April, would take over as head coach, as well. i see page 40

Schaefer will stay on to ease team through ‘transition’ period i from page 39 During April’s front-office reshuffling, Westgard and others within the Eagles organization said Schaefer was expected back for the 2014/15 season, noting that the coach had one more year left on his contract with the team.

In June, Westgard again told PAN he expected Schaefer to be back behind the team’s bench in the fall. Schaefer said he still plans to help the team out this summer in an unofficial capacity. “I’ll be helping them during this transition,” he said. “First and foremost, it’s about the

kids (on the team). There’s a lot of guys coming back from last year, and I still enjoy working with them. I want to see them succeed.” Schaefer served as the team’s head coach/ GM for just one season, though he was an assistant coach during the team’s Fred Page

Cup championship run two seasons ago. Schaefer would not rule out a return to coaching down the road. “I really learned a lot, and who knows, right? If the right opportunity knocks, then I’ll look at it. If not, I’ll move on into the next phase of my life.”

Bell won in ‘13 i from page 39 laps, for a total of 80 km. Last year’s race was won in dominating fashion by Canadian road-race champ Zach Bell of Watson Lake, Yukon. Despite competing without a team – he was one of the few contenders to ride solo – Bell tore through the hilly course to finish more than four minutes ahead of the secondplace rider, Michael Schweizer. “I think a lot of guys are pretty intimidated by the course, and I know the course rewards guys who aren’t scared of it,” Bell said after the win. “It rewards the aggressive rider, if you’ve got the legs.” Bell will not be in this year’s field, instead choosing to stay home and prepare for the upcoming Commonwealth Games. After the final race this year, two cyclists – one male, one female – with the best overall performance in all three events combined will be crowned the omnium champion. This year, the Tour de White Rock criterium – as well as the UBC Grand Prix – have also been added to Cycling BC’s 2014 BC Premier Road Series, alongside other races that were staged earlier this year. Riders accumulate points over the five races in the series, and winners in various categories will also be honoured this weekend. “As one of North America’s oldest races, the Tour de White Rock is ecstatic to be a part of the BC Premier Series,” said Tour de White Rock race director John Stech in a release.

Despite knowing that a win would push them forward to nationals, Pacheco said his players were still fairly stoic and focused after the final whistle Saturday. “They weren’t all jumping around or anything.

Winless road trip derails Tritons’ hot streak Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

A rough weekend on Vancouver Island ground to a halt what had been an impressive run of late for the White Rock Tritons. Before boarding the ferry for four games in Victoria – two each against the Eagles and Mariners – the South Surrey-based BC Premier Baseball League club had been on quite a roll, winners of five straight games and eight of their last nine. But the streak didn’t last, as the Tritons lost twice to the Eagles Saturday – by scores of 11-2 and 6-5 – and twice to the Mariners a day later, 1-0 and 7-5. The losing skid hit the five-game mark

Monday evening, after White Rock fell 4-1 to the Abbotsford Cardinals in South Surrey. In the first game Saturday, the home team pounced on the Tritons early, scoring four runs in the first inning and two in the second to take a commanding lead. White Rock’s only runs came in the third – John Christiansen singled and later scored on a Liam Rihela base hit – and the sixth, when Aaron Wiegert singled home Dylan Yeager. The second game was much closer, and needed extra innings to decide. With the teams tied 5-5 after seven innings, the Eagles scored the winning run in the bottom of the eighth when Alex Hendra-Brown singled and scored two batters later after a

White Rock error. White Rock lead earlier in the game, having gone up 3-0 after the first inning – Yeager and Rihela led the way with doubles – but the Eagles had a big inning later in the game, plating four in the bottom of the third. Sunday’s first game, against the Mariners, also took extra innings to decide, with the Mariners scoring the game’s only run in the bottom of the 10th. Tritons’ pitcher Scott Doucet pitched nine innings for the visitors, striking out six. But if the first game was a pitchers’ duel, the second half of the Sunday doubleheader was anything but, as the two clubs combined for 23 hits in a 7-5 Mariners win.

Yeager led the way with two runs-batted-in in the loss, while Barry Caine and Rihela also knocked in runs for the Tritons. Before the weekend road trip, the Tritons were in fifth-place in the PBL standings – and firmly entrenched in a playoff spot – but the five-game slide has seen them bumped down into seventh spot, with a 19-19 win-loss record. Eight teams make the playoffs. Losing streak aside, the team still has an above-average shot at advancing to the postseason; they’re five-and-a-half games up on the ninth-place Whalley Chiefs, with eight games left to play. White Rock plays the Chiefs tonight (Thursday) in Whalley.

Driveway test driver Zack Spencer says today’s crossover vehicles have replaced the popular station wagon of yesteryear. Do you agree? Is there something about the station wagon that appeals more to you? Lexus joins the compact crossover lineup with the all-new NX.

OF THE WEEK!

Drive The worldwide launch of the NX was held right here in B.C., driving between ultra modern Vancouver and the rustic resort of Whistler. International guests were exposed to the two sides of the NX, the polished city vehicle and the weekend getaway SUV. Powering around the mountain resort, I got my first shot at the all-new 2.0L direct inject turbocharged 4-cylinder that Lexus will use in a number of its vehicles. With 235hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque this new power plant does a good job once the NX 200t is in motion; it is getting away from a stop that could use a bit more snap. AWD is standard across the lineup but the system is designed to run in front wheel drive as much as possible to help save fuel. Lexus has made no bones about its target; it sees the Audi Q5 as the benchmark in this class. Audi has been at the small turbocharged game a lot longer and it shows, plus the handling of the NX isn’t sharp at all. In fact, all the passengers inside the base model test vehicle noticed the top-heavy body roll. Verdict What Lexus (Toyota) has been up to over the past ten-plus years is

producing hybrid cars in numbers nobody else can touch. This new NX is also available as a hybrid, but don’t expect any kind of show-stopping performance. Rated at just 194hp, the heavier NX 300h hybrid might be outclassed by just-as-thrifty diesel options in the market. The price of the NX 200T has not been set but if you look at the Audi Q5 as a target, expect the price to start at roughly $41,000 when it goes on sale at the end of 2014. Fuel economy has also not been set but with a direct injection turbocharged 4-cylinder under the hood, this new Lexus should be better on fuel than the larger RX350 equipped with a V6 engine. As the small SUV market continues to grow, and this new NX certainly is one of the most eye-catching to come along in a while.

Safety Tip: There are some quick safety checks you can make on your vehicle to protect yourself and your passengers. For starters, make sure the head restraints are at least level with the top of the head and as close as possible to the back of the head to help prevent injury.

Cruze is cruising up the best seller charts Our neighbours to the south may still be suspicious of smaller vehicles, but they are more than welcome on driveways north of the border. In the top 20 best sellers, 15 are compact or subcompacts and the remaining five are by no means gas-guzzlers. The Honda Civic is the perennial top seller, and according to the latest figures available, the Hyundai Elantra and the Toyota Corolla follow it. The Chevrolet Cruze, currently with a starting sticker price of a few bucks more than $15,200, sits in a solid fourth place and it’s a ray of light for General Motors. It recorded a five percent year-over-year sales increase in the first quarter reports. Its 2014 March sales were a fraction under 50 per cent better than last year. In fact, it’s the brand’s bestseller with worldwide sales in excess of two

million since its launch. Much has been written about the Ford revival and its excellent world car products – most of which fall into the small car category. GM does have competing products in what’s become a crowded market. The sub-compact Sonic is in the top 20 but nothing has I feared the Cruze caught fire the way the Cruze has. would suffer from the It first surfaced here in late 2010 as apparent prejudice a globally developed and designed compact four-door sedan and against domestically five-door hatchback, replacing the produced small cars, outgoing Cobalt.

It may be a young’un but it’s already undergone some significant changes and engine improvements. Perhaps most significant among them was the introduction of a clean diesel version with a sticker price of around $26,000.

your gas budget. Its standard six-speed manual transmission, coupled with a 1.4-litre powerplant, promises a highway fuel consumption rating of 5.4 L/100 km – the auto tranny makes that 5.6 L/100 km. The Cruze Eco’s 1.4L turbocharged ECOTEC engine, generates 138 horses and sips 4.6 L/100 km on the highway. It looks good today but in 2015, the Cruze gets a significant visual refresh with an updated grille and body shape that will give it more than a passing resemblance to its larger sibling, Malibu. We’re told it will get significant tech changes, including an infotainment system with a driver alert text system that can be read through smart phones and over Bluetooth, plus additional USB ports, and a 4G LTE connection enabling it to function as a Wi-Fi hot spot. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Favourite cars of the past Baby boomers are in full nostalgia mode as they contemplate their lost youth. And, as the last generation that really bought into North America’s love affair with the automobile, it’s natural that some of that nostalgia is of the fourwheeled variety. Here are five of the cars that baby boomers miss the most:

Pontiac GTO It’s still hard for Widetrack fans to believe that the entire division is no more. It was a virtual tossup between numbers 1 and 2 as to the most missed car, but with the 50th anniversary of the GTO (and arguably the muscle car itself) coming up, it has to be the Goat. Not the Australian Holden-indisguise that we got from 2004-06, mind you, but the real 1964-’72 bit of classic American muscle.

Nearly every boomer has a story about the Vista Cruiser, whether it’s a road trip from hell or just getting shuttled to school or Cub Scouts or Brownies in one. The Vista Cruiser, with its unique windows on the roof and the back, and the backseat where misbehaving siblings could be banished, was the official wagon of the wonder years for so many boomers.

FOR UP TO

FINANCING

The half-car, half-pickup concept had real legs, lasting from the 1950s through the 1980s. It deserves another shot but GM seems to disagree, having on multiple occasions stubbornly refused to bring back the beloved El Camino.

MGB was the sports car Americans loved first, with servicemen bringing back MG TCs after the Second Wold War. In 1980, with the British auto industry in a free fall, the quaint factory in Abingdon, England, was closed, and that was it for MGs in the U.S. A shame; even though woefully outdated, the MGB had little to no competition and could have gone on almost indefinitely, or at least until 1989, when the Mazda Miata was introduced.

New Harley-Davidson 750 weighs in light

‘‘

The Harley 750 doesn’t carry some of the bulk people might associate with the brand. It’s like losing all the weight you put on during the Christmas holiday Alexandra Straub

’’

Those wanting to get on sportbikes don’t need to start on a 250 or 300 cc, let alone a 600 cc variant. You can get a 125 cc. Or when it comes to cruisers, you don’t have to start on a machine that might be a little on the heavy side. You can get a competent road partner, which looks cool and doesn’t weigh south of 250 kilos. Enter the 2015 HarleyDavidson Street 750. 222 kilos, soaking wet. Hitting streets later this year, it’s the first new bike the American motorcycle maker has concocted from scratch in the last 11 years. The last all-new bike was the V-Rod. And with a blank canvas, Harley could start from the ground up, listen to the voices of the customer and translate that into a cruiser that is tailored to urban riding. On the streets of Austin, Tex., a group of international media had the opportunity to take the new machinery for a test drive. While the majority of the route takes us on long, sweeping stretches of country roads, the Street 750 really shines in slow speed environments. Why does it thrive in an urban setting? For many reasons, the first being that Harley wanted to create a bike for the city rider. A bike that has a low-revving yet silky smooth engine

and transmission, a low seat height, a favourable suspension – for all the potholes and road imperfections one might encounter – and a bike on which a variety of riders can feel comfortable. Let’s start with its all-new engine. The Street 750 is matched with a liquidcooled – yes, liquid - 749 cc, 60-degree, which gives ample acceleration when you need it, particularly when you’re accelerating from a standstill. Not only that, it doesn’t spew unwanted heat towards the rider when they’re idling. And if you’re like me, and wear full gear even on hot, summer days, you’re incredibly grateful for that. Furthermore, it’s paired to a six-speed transmission. Normally, stop-go traffic on a Harley would be a pain. However, it wasn’t with the 750. It’s the easiest and lightest clutch I’ve worked with on any of the American motorcycle manufacturer’s bikes. Speaking of low seat height, it measures in at 709 mm (27.9 inches.) The Harley 750 doesn’t carry some of the bulk people might associate with the brand. It’s like losing all the weight you put on during the Christmas holiday. It just feels good. When it comes to the 750’s suspension, it’s not jarring and pleasantly soft. Not so soft that it puts you to sleep, but a good balance of urban comfort mixed with open road riding pleasure. Up front, the 37 mm telescopic forks and rear twin tubular externally mounted shocks absorb the bumps in the road and leave the rider feeling fine. However, after a day of logging over 200 kilometres, the rear end does feel a little sleepy. General ergonomics are good, though I would have brought the handlebars a little closer to my body. They’re not a stretch for me, but something that would have made the ride more comfortable. I also would have liked a little more “grab” in the front and rear brakes. It seemed like I really had to bite hard into the front brake to get it to slow down. The logic behind that is that new riders are less likely to get in trouble in an event where they are nervous and get a little

jumpy. Lastly, fit and finish of the bike could have been neater. Wires were exposed, and it took away from the overall aesthetic. That said the bike does have character to it. The 2015 Street 750 from HarleyDavidson has many good things going for it. And with it tipping the scale at just 222 kg (489 lbs.) Looks like Christmas comes early. Pricing will be announced closer to the release date. Visit www.harley-davidson.ca for more information on the bike.

The 2015 HarleyDavidson Street 750 is the first new bike the American motorcycle maker has made from scratch in the last 11 years.

I can’t think of a better time to learn how to ride or a harder time to ride. These juxtaposing thoughts can be explained thusly. There are so many great choices for new motorcycle riders when it comes to machinery it’s hard to make a decision on what to add to your garage. But the variety also means there are bikes to suit all.

The 2014 Honda Pilot has enough space to get you, your family, and all your gear to the campsite.

Inside updates and improvements ensure there is plenty of room for eight in this large sport SUV. The 60/40 second row and third-row bench seats fold flat to give a good surface to transport larger items. Another added improvement is the rear glass that opens independently from the hatch. If you go for the EX-L or Touring edition there is a power lift gate. A 229-watt audio system with seven speakers and a subwoofer is available on the LX 2wd, LX, EX and EX-L models, while the Touring comes with a 650-watt, AM/FM/CD Premium audio system with MP3/Windows media and 10 speakers, including a 5.1 surround sound theater mode with 15 GB hard drive (HDD) audio storage. There is an available Honda DVD rear-entertainment system with 9-inch display. And check this out: there’s an optional Honda satellite-linked navigation system with trilingual voice recognition that responds to over 800 verbal commands.

Safety first

The 2014 Pilot’s standard safety equipment includes Vehicle Stability Assist, commonly known as electronic-stability control, with traction control and ABS. There are three row-side curtain airbags with roll over sensors: dual stage front air bags, a driver’s front side air bag, and a passenger’s front side air bag with occupant position detection system. There’s also hill start assist on all models. The VTM-4 system directs power to the front differential when extra traction is not required, helping with the fuel economy. When more traction is required, the system

Even though the vehicle was last re-designed as long ago as 2009, it still fits the market today and it has a unique style to it.

Morningstar brings luxurious view homes to Maple Ridge By Kerry Vital

Morningstar Homes has an excellent track record for building spectacular single-family homes, including nine neighbourhoods on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain, and are one of the largest single-family builders in the area with nearly 2,000 homes built to date. Now they are heading out to Maple Ridge to showcase their expertise with their latest project, The Summit at Grant Hill.

“These are some of our best designs ever,” says Deborah Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing at Morningstar. “Add to that the scenic backdrop of the Golden Ears Mountains and it’s just magical.” In fact, Calahan notes that she’s already had a lot of people contacting her wanting more information about the project, or to purchase a home immediately. “We’re thrilled at the response to our homes,” she says. “We’re bringing our best ideas from Burke Mountain to Maple

Ridge … and adding some new twists.” They also have Robertson Heights coming soon to Maple Ridge, with an expected opening in early September. “Maple Ridge is a new area for us, full of natural beauty,” Calahan says. “Here, we’ve created new designs that address the stunning views and natural surroundings and blend with the uniqueness of the neighbourhood.” In this case, it is sprawling estate homes with three-car garages and huge windows to capture the maximum amount of views and nature possible! The Summit at Grant Hill will feature 26 four-bedroom luxury homes on 1/2 acre homesites with large, private backyards perfect for a hot tub, basketball court or pool. It’s up to you! The lush greenery surrounding the homes adds to the sense of peace you’ll feel as soon as you enter your new home, and the views of the mountains and blue skies are simply stunning. Inside, the vaulted ceilings, gorgeous kitchens and relaxing bedrooms are designed to impress, and Morningstar is offering CONTINUED INSIDE

Blexo Developments’ Delta Rise is a premier real estate opportunity in North Delta, with huge balconies, spacious homes and a prime location that offers stunning views and easy access to shopping, dining, leisure and recreation opportunities.

Rising to the top with Delta Rise By Kerry Vital

Blexo Developments is bringing a new class of real estate to North Delta with Delta Rise, a curving tower with a glass facade that has buyers all over the Lower Mainland getting excited. “You have to see it to believe it,” says Satish Sharma, principal at Blexo Developments. “You can’t replicate this anywhere else.” As the tallest tower in North Delta at 37 storeys, Delta Rise offers amazing views, and large balconies to take advantage of them. “The balconies are larger than those in some single-family homes,” Sharma says. At 300 square feet, he’s right. The balcony offers tons of room for entertaining or relaxing and watching the sunset. Oversized windows let the natural light pour in, while 8’6” ceilings and spacious floorplans contribute to the luxurious feeling in every home. Homes at Delta Rise range from 475 to 1,039 square feet, in a variety of one-, two- and three-bedroom plans. The gourmet kitchen, with its stainless-steel appliances and polished quartz countertops will suit chefs of any calibre. “These finishings are extremely highquality,” says Sharma.

The bedrooms have built-in wardrobes instead of traditional closets, adding an extra level of convenience to your home, and the bathrooms are stylish and elegant, with a floating laminate vanity, polished solid quartz countertops and a deep soaker tub with integral skirt and full-height stacked porcelain tile tub surround. Delta Rise is part of the revitalization of the Delta area, which is rapidly becoming an important hub for growth and investment. It will be located minutes from the new North Delta Community Park and Rec Centre, as well as Sungod Recreation Centre and several other parks and green spaces. Schools, shopping and dining are all within walking distance. In fact, Delta Rise will have a coffee shop in its lobby, as well as a resident concierge service. Other amenities on-site include a rooftop courtyard on the third level, with a park, outdoor barbecue pit, playground, garden plots, outdoor fitness area, zen garden and much more. Inside, there will be a fitness centre, media and entertainment rooms, a workshop, a library and meeting rooms, among other amenities. “Delta is truly open for business,” says Sharma. “It has so much to offer.” Homes at Delta Rise start at $199,000. For more information, visit www.deltarise. ca, call 604-594-RISE (7473), or stop by the presentation centre at 11941 80 Avenue, Delta, open daily between 1 and 6 p.m. Monday to Friday and noon and 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

plenty of options for customizing your home, from exterior gable lighting to a master bedroom sitting room. Windows are always a big thing in a Morningstar home, and that continues at The Summit at Grant Hill. This time, they’ve included walls of windows to let the natural light pour in and take advantage of the views and natural surroundings. Morningstar has built two show homes for buyers to visit. “We take the guess-work out, by providing show homes that are tangible examples of what your home will be like,” says Calahan. “Prospective purchasers can walk through the show homes and choose which floorplan is right for them!” Buyers at any Morningstar project are assured of great customer service as well as the peace of mind in knowing that they are purchasing from a reputable builder who will stand behind the homes they sell. In fact, Calahan notes that she often sees buyers looking at a Morningstar home after a friend or family member purchases one. “Word-of-mouth is our best form of advertising,” she says. “We’ve found the secret recipe for making homeowners happy.” Buyers will certainly be happy with their home at The Summit at Grant Hill. “This is definitely going to be a winner for us,” says Calahan. “We are building luxury homes on large scenic properties at great prices; now that’s something that you don’t see every day!” Purchasing a new home can be stressful, but Morningstar always endeavors to take the stress out of home-buying experience (that is the Morningstar Promise after all!), making it easy for you to sit back and enjoy the process. Morningstar is holding a grand opening of The Summit at Grant Hill on July 12, starting at noon. Calahan urges interested buyers to pre-register, which will give you earlier access to purchase one of the homes. The sales centre is located at 25465 Godwin Drive, Maple Ridge, and homes will start at $690,000 plus GST.

Market strength solidifies in the Fraser Valley SURREY, BC – May’s property sales in the Fraser Valley reached the highest they’ve been in seven years with the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board posting 1,633 sales on its Multiple Listing Service (MLS®), an increase of 18 per cent compared to May 2013 and 11 per cent more than in April. Previous record‐setting Mays were in the mid‐2000s during the market peak, with last month’s sales coming in just below the 10‐year average. Ray Werger, President of the Board, says, “For the second month in a row, we’re experiencing healthy sales volumes with the most popular choice being single family detached homes followed by townhouses. For single family homes, that market is at the upper‐end of a balanced market with certain areas in a sellers’ market where over 30 per cent of available inventory is selling.”

Werger adds that the market for apartments has not picked up to the same degree. “We’ve seen an improvement in condo sales in specific areas, however in many communities the market continues to favour buyers due to inventory levels that remain elevated and buyer preference for homes that offer more space and amenities. “Last month in the Fraser Valley, 60 per cent of our residential sales were single family detached homes and we’re starting to see that preference reflected in prices. Prices are up three per cent over the past year, even higher in the most sought‐after communities and most of that increase has taken place in the last six months.” The benchmark price as determined by the MLS® Home Price Index (MLS® HPI) of a single family detached home in Fraser Valley increased 3.1 per cent in one year. It went from $549,200 in May 2013 to

$566,400 last month. In May, the benchmark price of a Fraser Valley townhouse was $297,300, a decrease of 0.2 per cent compared to $298,000 in May 2013. The benchmark price of an apartment decreased by 2.6 per cent year‐over‐year; going from $203,400 in May of last year to $198,100 in May 2014. In May, the Board received 3,218 new listings, an increase of 2 per cent compared to April and 1 per cent more than were received during the same month last year. The new inventory took the number of active listings in Fraser Valley to 9,870, a decrease of 7 per cent compared to the volume available in May 2013. Werger says, “Our home supply is the best it’s been since last fall, with the highest demand for priced‐right, quality properties. If your home fits that description, anticipate a lot of interest.”
