Vote of confidence from city as new group of longtime residents take charge
Invested in a Sea Festival revival Alex Browne Staff Reporter
The 65th-anniversary edition of the White Rock Sea Festival is picking up momentum with confirmation of a $25,000 matching grant for this year’s festivities from the city. And organizers, headed by White Rock Events Society president Michelle Pedersen, say indications are good for a reinvigorated version of the annual celebration for the Aug. 1-3 weekend, buoyed by the presence of Saturday entertainment headliner The Powder Blues Band. The much-anticipated Torchlight Parade already stands at some 50 confirmed entries, with marching bands and city and commercial floats, including one featuring renowned impersonator Randy ‘Elvis’ Friskie. City council voted to approve the additional funds July 14, after reviewing a report from financial services director Sandra Kurylo, who recommended approving a $15,000 grant from the city’s contingency budget.
The funds approved bring the total value of the city’s support for the sea festival – in cash and in-kind contributions – to $107,000. “I think we’ve got one chance here for the sea festival,” said Coun. Grant Meyer, in pushing the higher-than-recommended amount. Said Coun. Al Campbell, “We either want this to happen or we don’t. We’ve gone to this length
for this time. If we want it to succeed – and we do – I would support the amended motion.” Mayor Wayne Baldwin described the festival’s revival as “much appreciated, really positive for the community.” Pedersen said she looks on the city’s contribution as a big vote of confidence for the event – rebranded with its original name after years under the Spirit of the Sea Festival banner. “I don’t think this is something they do often – the biggest thing, for us, as a new society is earning trust,” she said. She noted that while the city said in February it was going to commit $15,000 to the parade and float construction, in addition to in-kind contributions, it asked – rightly, she said – for the society to prove itself. “Instead of saying ‘yes’ to all this funding they created a matching grant – it was telling us, if you guys can step up to the plate, we’ll match you. i see page 5

A former notary public who bilked scores of Metro Vancouver investors out of more than $100 million has been found by securities regulators to have run a Ponzi scheme. Vancouver-based Rashida Samji committed a fraud under the B.C. Securities Act on more than 200 investors between 2003 and 2012, a B.C. Securities Commission panel ruled. South Surrey lawyer Scott Nicoll, who acted on behalf of 51 victims from Surrey and Richmond, is not surprised by the finding. “It was pretty apparent it was a fraud from the outset,” he said. Samji claimed she was offering a secure investment guaranteed to pay 12 per cent a year. Invested cash would go into a trust account that would secure borrowing by a B.C. winery so it could expand internationally. “The whole investment scheme was one big lie,” the BCSC panel states in its ruling. “There was no investment related to the wine business. Samji used investors’ funds to pay other investors in order to keep the scheme going. She also used investors’ funds for her own purposes. It was a monumental deceit.” The BCSC has yet to determine its sanctions against Samji, who also faces criminal charges of fraud and is named in civil lawsuits. Nicoll said the Surrey victims he represented invested between $50,000 and $1.1 million each. “They were either elderly or still working in very average jobs,” he said. i see page 4

The province’s fixation on a balanced budget (it has just reported a $353 million surplus for 2013-14) shows prudent fiscal management, but this fixation has come at the expense of some services. Health care, by far the biggest budget item for the province, has its spending growth capped. The education system is in the midst of a teachers’ strike that, at its heart, is all about money, and even in fast-growing Surrey, the school district cannot get approval to build new schools in areas where there are already the children to fill them. Lake needs to stand up for this region more forcefully in cabinet, because the health-care needs here are not being fully met. It is important to keep acute care for patients who are most in need, and to reduce reliance on emergency room care, but all that requires money as well as reallocation of resources. Surrey and Delta BC Liberal MLAs need to make the case for improved health care much more publicly and forcefully. If that means next year’s budget surplus is smaller, that isn’t a bad thing. The provincial government has the constitutional obligation to provide health-care funding for its citizens – including those in fast-growing and under-serviced areas.

Bus-stop crash victim unaware she’s lost both of her legs
Communities rally for woman in coma Kevin Diakiw Black Press
On a sunny morning last month, Kaureen Lamy was waiting at a bus stop at 88 Avenue and 148 Street, on the way to her dream job. Lamy, 35, was enamoured with dogs and had attended school to learn the techniques required for her dog-grooming job in Port Moody, where she’s worked for two months. Fate was about to deal an unthinkable blow. Just before 8 a.m. on June 30, a Toyota Tacoma pickup, which witnesses said ran a red light, careened off of a van and rocketed into the bus stop where Lamy was sitting. She lost both her legs and suffered extensive organ damage and broken ribs. She remains in a medically induced coma
and, as of Monday, was undergoing surgery to deal with an infection. She does not yet know she’s lost her legs. “She’s not aware of what’s going on at all,” says her mom, Johanne Michelin. “She will open her eyes when her sedation wears off, but she won’t recall anything of it.” While Lamy is slowly mending, the community has responded in a big way through fundraising efforts created in her name. At her employers, Uptown Dawg, suds were flying last Sunday in her honour. Manager Shannon O’Reilly said staff members were donating their services from noon to 4 p.m., during which time the dog-grooming business raised $10,000 for Lamy’s care. The money will go toward paying rent so

Allegations denied
University spending
Accused officer responds
Presidents’ wage caps not for other execs: Virk
An RCMP inspector accused by a former colleague of sexual harassment has “expressly denied” all of the allegations. In a response last week to a claim filed in August 2013 by civilian employee Atoya Montague, Tim Shields – a White Rock resident and formerly a high-profile RCMP spokesperson – states the pair had first a “friendly working relationship” from 2003 to 2008, and then a “friendly and professional relationship” from 2008 to 2011. In her claim, Montague alleged Shields made several unwanted sexual advances toward her starting with a trip they made to the B.C. Interior in 2003 to drop off supplies to wildfire Tim Shields victims; and that he had continued to make inspector inappropriate, sexually harassing comments and sent text messages to her throughout their work association. In his July 18 response, Shields claims Montague was open both in one-on-one conversations and group settings about personal and sexual aspects of her life. “She participated in sexual banter and frequently made sexual remarks and jokes, including comments and jokes about her own breasts,” the response states. “She did so in the presence of her colleagues and supervisors (including but not limited to Shields).” Shields’ response also notes that the plaintiff never raised her concerns about him with a co-worker, supervisor or other person in a position of authority; and, that she refused to speak about the allegations during internal RCMP investigations that followed the claim. “On September 30, 2013, the RCMP deemed the allegations to be unsubstantiated,” the response states. Montague’s claim was the first of two filed against Shields in the past 12 months. Earlier this month, another civilian RCMP staffer, Anitra Singh, accused Shields of sexual assault and sexual harassment. A response to that claim has yet to be filed.

Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk says the NDP is wrong in its claims that more universities have paid senior executives more than permitted under salary caps set by the provincial government. The NDP obtained salary-cap details for three B.C. universities – Capilano, Vancouver Island and the University of the Fraser Valley – and said reported compensation paid to 14 executives exceeded caps by a total of more than $1.1 million over three years. “What is the point in having caps in the first place if they’re basically meaningless and you’re not going to enforce them?” asked advanced education critic David Eby. The Public Sector Employers’ Council, which enforces the policy, has since refused to disclose pay caps for other B.C. post-secondary institutions, prompting the Opposition to accuse Virk of covering up further violations in the wake of a recent probe of overpayments at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. But in a statement emailed by his office, Virk, BC Liberal MLA for Surrey-Tynehead, said the caps on presidents’ total compensation do not apply to other senior post-secondary executives, who are instead subject to a salary range approved by PSEC. Those ranges don’t include additional benefits and pension, which he said the NDP mistakenly counted in its calculations, adding about 20 per cent. “The critic’s misinterpretation is intended to make it appear that these individuals are being paid outside the compensation they should be paid,” he said. Virk previously faced calls to resign for his role as a director on the board of Kwantlen before being elected MLA, where $50,000 signing bonuses under the guise of consulting fees were made to the president and vice-president to circumvent pay caps.

Credit union employee went rogue i from page 1 “These were not people who could afford to lose these investments and then go on about their lives.” Nicoll said Samji succeeded in keeping her scheme afloat for so long in part because she ensnared a former investment advisor at Coast Capital Savings who recommended her investment to clients at the credit union. Coast Capital didn’t know its rogue employee, Arvin Patel, was selling more than just mutual funds and this spring reached out-of-court settlements of civil action brought by many of the fraud victims. The securities commission said in a previous ruling that the credit union advisor – who put $600,000 of his own money in the scheme – should have known Samji’s claims were false and that high returns with no risk are impossible.

Protesters rallied in front of Coast Capital’s Newton branch in 2012. Other warning signs included the fact the investment wasn’t approved by the credit union, had no disclosure documentation and was described as an “exclusive” opportunity not available to the general public. “One of the things that lured them into this investment in the first place was the comfort that
their money would be held in a notary public trust account,” Nicoll said. He is now pressing the Society of Notaries Public of B.C. to agree to use its special compensation fund to help Samji’s victims recoup more of their losses. “We’re hoping the notaries society will make them whole.”

FINAL All eyes on the torchlight parade SUMMER SALE
i from page 1 “Finally, at the end, we came up with $26,000 in sponsorship.” Going to the community for that kind of money was “no small feat” Pedersen said, adding that a festival financial scandal in which a director absconded with funds in the 1990s – plus perceptions that the event had become lacklustre in recent years – had undoubtedly created some sales resistance. But she said a recriminatory atmosphere is no basis for building a strong event for the future. “There are all kinds of people lining up to point fingers, but I’m not interested in that,” she said, noting that the Community of Lights Society, organizers up until last year, had worked very hard to keep the event alive. What she has focused on this year is re-establishing the annual torchlight parade along Marine Drive as a cornerstone of the event under the guidance of Sea Festival veteran Maureen Beales – and the creation of a new city float (supervised by her mom, Deanna, and Laverne Hogg) as an essential component of attracting other cities in the “floating” community. Some seven cities are now signed on as participants, she added. Beales – who ran the festival for many years up to the early 1990s – said she has enjoyed returning to put the parade together, after some initial trepidation. “It’s really thrilling how well

I’d forgotten how much fun we had doing this.” Parade participants include the 130-strong marching band from Sumner High School in Washington State, and the Crescent Beach Pipe Band, which will lead the parade with the White Rock Legion colour guard. In addition to Friskie, who will present a Hawaiian-theme Elvis tribute on a flat-deck truck, the Silver Diamond Dancers – parade favorites – will offer an elaborate line-dance float. “One of our big sponsors this year, Murray Hyundai, will be providing us with convertibles, there will be a ReMax float and Sandcastle Bowl, Bar and Grill staff will be dressing up like

bowling pins,” Beales said. Well-known White Rock buskers will entertain the crowd before the parade starts, she said, as will a variety of clowns, including unicycle-riding Mr. Bubbles. Beales said she is inviting past Sea Festival organizers – including her mother, Mary, 95, who remembers the beginnings of the event well – to sit at a special reviewing stand by White Rock Museum and Archives. “We’d really like to see Sea Festival veterans from all the eras of the event,” she said, adding that those who wish to participate can contact her at 778-988-6624. “We can only do so much (with current resources),” Pedersen said. “We have to build it back up – but the exciting thing will be next year. In the end, we will have earned people’s trust for next year.” – with files from Tracy Holmes

The court of public opinion
I
t appears that Prime Minister Stephen Harper intends to avoid testifying in the trial of suspended-senator Mike Duffy, now facing 31 criminal charges connected with his disputed expense claims. While legal experts claim it’s entirely likely that Harper will be called to testify by Duffy’s defense in response to bribery charges, a spokesman has made it clear this week that Harper feels he has no further information to add to what he has already supplied to the RCMP. This is yet another instance of Harper’s increasing disconnect with the electorate. Whatever reasons he offers, it is obvious that the desire to avoid anything that might prove embarrassing – standard equipment for politicians – has yet again trumped any attempt at transparency or respect for due process. We’ll leave it to the courts to rule whether Harper can invoke parliamentary privilege to avoid testifying, but he’s not likely to score any points with the ordinary citizen by doing so. Do any of us imagine we could avoid a subpoena to appear as a witness in a trial by claiming we had nothing useful to add? Any judge in this land would tell us it’s not our place to conclude whether our testimony would or wouldn’t be useful. It would be highly presumptive for us to assume that we could anticipate any and all lines of questioning, and we’d likely get our knuckles rapped for it. But then we’re not the prime minister – and not able to avail ourselves of his privileges, parliamentary or otherwise. Harper has persistently sought to distance himself from the actions of the Prime Minister’s Office on the Duffy file – a situation that would be laughable if it did not reveal how tragically flawed our political system is. Cloaked in his mantle of privilege, Harper has decried the kinds of actions his appointee to the senate is accused of perpetrating, stopping just short of accusing the man himself. Yet Duffy has alleged, just as persistently, that the prime minister is not as far removed from the affair as one would have us believe. Whatever our presumptions with regard to Duffy, the accused deserves his day in court. And Canadians deserve the kind of leader who is willing to endure some personal discomfiture to testify, openly and honestly, in a court of law. Anything short of that is an insult – to our people, to our principles, and, ultimately, to our country.

bars accompanied by an annoying highpitched tone. In the ’80s our world expanded exponentially, with the introduction of cable and the awesomeness that was MTV. And we’d eagerly anticipate the start of the new fall season after an agonizing summer spent waiting for last spring’s cliffhanger to be resolved. Were we ever going to find out who shot J.R.? By contrast, today’s shows run yearround, with many scheduled specifically to air fresh episodes during those previously dry summer months. And, of course, programming now goes round the clock on 200 channels. It’s not all good, but it’s all readily available. Add to that online gaming, smartphones and tablets, and today’s kids stand a slim chance of enjoying an active childhood. Forty years ago, ParticipACTION was already telling us — on television, where else? — that the average 30-year-old Canadian was in worse shape than a 60-year-old Swede. It’s scary to think how we’d stand up to that test today. In the face of such an uphill battle — the kind that would no doubt leave me gasping for breath on the sidelines — what is there to do but try to set a better example? Perhaps it’s time to put down the remote and walk away. Five kilometres or so should do the trick. Brenda Anderson is a reporter at the Langley Times, sister-paper to Peace Arch News.

Treaty history misses mark Editor: Re: A brief history of treaty talks, July 8 BC Views. Columnist Tom Fletcher raises some contentious points about B.C. treaty talks. One, Fletcher uses the word “endorsed” to describe the results of the 2002 B.C. provincial referendum
on aboriginal treaties. With only 36 per cent of eligible voters having cast a ballot – in which seven per cent were spoiled – it’s difficult to conclude “endorsement” of the government’s stance was achieved. Two, there was significant opposition to not only the referendum but to Victoria’s position on treaties. Former judge Thomas Berger harshly criticized the government not only for trying to circumvent aboriginal constitutional rights, but also for previously taking legal action
against the 1998 Nisga’a treaty. In a 2002 article, Berger accused the Liberals of asking “the people of the province to give us a mandate to treat aboriginal rights as non-existent.” As well, attorney-general Geoff Plant pledged that the Liberals would never agree to another Nisga’a-type self-government agreement, which they believed gave First Nations too much power. Victoria was dedicated to imposing a delegated, municipal-style government on natives, a position the referendum was designed to support. Plant went
on to add insult to injury when he proclaimed, “you cannot have selfgovernment for 150 people, 50 per cent of whom are FAS or FAE (fetal alcohol syndrome/effect).” Interestingly, at no time did thendeputy premier Christy Clark ever contradict her government’s actions. The way forward remains in both recognition of aboriginal constitutional rights, and the sharing of land and resources among all British Columbians, a strategy supported by First Nations.

This is our problem. We have a rail line in our front yard. It is the responsibility of the people of the City of White Rock to come up with a solution that is viable for all parties.a David Edwards
Tracy Holmes photo
Letter writers offer a number of concerns and suggestions to the issue of train safety on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, much discussed in recent weeks.
Rail solutions well within Peninsula’s reach Editor: Re: Mayor warns of federal indifference to rail fears, July 10. The recent White Rock city forum on rail safety was informative. It seems to me at least that a number of conclusions can be drawn. First, there are a number of health and safety concerns. Twenty trains a day means at least 50 diesel locomotives a day spewing diesel particulates into the air, which, together with coal dust, represents a health hazard. Moreover, the transport of dangerous substances over a line subject to landslides has the potential for catastrophic human and environmental accidents. Second, the argument that the listing of dangerous goods is withheld to confound terrorists is illogical. A catastrophe can take place without the aid of terrorists. In fact, the withholding of information is likely to bring about the very consequences of a terrorist attack. Third, the fact that BNSF cannot obtain the insurance required to meet the costs of human and environmental damage means the federal government is on the hook for huge cleanup costs, as we have seen happen at Lac Mégantic. Fourth, while the argument that White Rock/ South Surrey is not alone in facing these kind of rail hazards ignores the fact that the Peninsula is not only an area of outstanding natural beauty and is particularly environmentally sensitive, it is also situated geographically so that emergency remediation is extremely difficult. By all means, require the federal government to establish relatively safe routes for rail transport of dangerous goods across Canada, but we shouldn’t hold our breath that this is likely to happen. It has been pointed out that rail relocation is too expensive to seriously consider. However, the longterm health costs and costs to tourism and real estate – not to mention the costs of an accident – would likely far exceed the cost of relocation. This is especially true given that an alternative rail system already exists north of the border. It is not the line that has to be relocated, it is the trains, and the cost would be borne by BNSF, which would have to pay for the use of CN/CP lines. This seems to me to be a negotiable solution if there is the political will to explore it. It is likely the political clout needed to bring this issue to
federal politicians would be more likely if White Rock, protected by a functional ward system of representation, was part of a larger and more effective local government – the City of Surrey. Peter Ferris, Surrey Re: Loud reaction to train concerns, July 17 letters. Two letters in the PAN referred to decisions that were made a long time ago about accepting the trains in our area – either referring to those who bought here after the trains appeared or said yes to the building of the tracks in the first place. We have no control in hindsight about the people way back who made unwise decisions and could not look ahead or have any idea how attractive living in South Surrey and White Rock would be. There was no chance of seeing a couple of steam engines turn into an invasion of massive diesel engines pulling huge snakes behind them. Over the years, all kinds of decisions made in the past have either been rectified or changed. Nothing is written in stone, and we should have the right and the power as voting citizens to make right mistakes from the past. I can see letter-writer Anna Dean not wanting the train removed from this hugely populated area to over her way, of course, but that is where the train was in the first place. We just want to send it home, as it’s been away a long time and craves for a quieter area – away from all those thousands of people that just want to enjoy jewels of the nature along our waterfronts in peace, and away from constant danger. Brian Lauder, Surrey Q Regarding Emerson Reid’s letter to the editor, prior to 1909 there was a plan to build a deep sea port where the White Rock Museum is today. A copy of the plot plan for this port is in the White Rock archives in the museum. I know this because I gave it to them. Then in 1909, the Victoria Railroad and Steamship Company purchased a strip of land through the Semiahmoo First Nation’s reserve for $1,250, which then made that strip private property. I know this to be also true because I had a copy of the original bill of sale, and I gave that to the White Rock archives as well.
Along with that, I turned over a copy of a letter signed by Sir Wilfred Laurier, the prime minister at the time and the guy on the $5 bill, asking Parliament to put a rush on approval of the sale. The next time someone says the railroad was built to service a few shacks in White Rock, tell them that is an idea, too… well, you get the idea. Barry Gaudin, White Rock Re: ‘Worst trespassing in the northwest’, June 19 et al. Transport Canada has done us a favour. It is clear that BNSF rail traffic and the population of this Peninsula are both increasing. It is also a fact that too many people fail to take proper precautions when crossing the tracks. This is our problem. We have a rail line in our front yard. It is the responsibility of the people of the City of White Rock to come up with a solution that is viable for all parties. The initial solution is obvious and relatively easy: • Delay all lower-priority spending, including “Johnston Road beautification,” “Centre Street road allowance,” sidewalks, bronze statues etc. • Immediately undertake the construction of pedestrian underpasses, and/or bridges, across the BNSF railway, at three West Beach and three East Beach locations – no six-foot fences required. • Construct two larger underpasses, suitable to accommodate kayak trailers, paddleboard trundlers and manually launched boats – one at West Beach and one at East Beach. Next, we must pursue longer-term solutions: • Build an urban transit sky tram from uptown to the beach, spanning the BNSF adjacent to the pier. The base station to include a pedestrian bridge over the rail. Completion date June 2019. • Invite tenders to build and operate a commercial zip line from North Bluff Road to Bayview Park, via Ruth Johnson Park, and Duprez Street. Completion date September 2016. • Forget about rail relocation, unless you have a solution that will cost BNSF nothing, reduce their operating costs and be welcomed by the folks on the new route who covet our rail line. With the above solutions in place, there will be no need for BNSF engineers to blow the horns, except when cheering children on the beach. David Edwards, White Rock

Mike Lane remembered for passion to make a difference
Celebrated officer found common ground Tracy Holmes
M
Staff Reporter
ention Mike Lane’s name to anyone who worked with him or knew him and the responses will be virtually identical. The former RCMP constable was dedicated to his family and work, had a great sense of humour and – though he was often celebrated over the course of his career – preferred to leave the limelight to others. “He always pushed other people to the front, but he did all the work behind the ❝He’s had a scenes,” great life and a Surreygreat family and White contributed greatly Rock to the community.❞ MLA Gordon Gordon Hogg Hogg MLA recalled Tuesday. “He’s had a great life and a great family and contributed greatly to the community.” Lane passed away at sunrise on July 11, at the age of 74. Family members remember him as a man who loved reading, laughing and time with family; who taught his daughters strength, courage and compassion. In policing, the White Rock officer’s passion for reconciling the relationship between the First Nations and RCMP was wellknown. A significant demonstration of that dedication came in 1999, when ‘The Gift’ – two totem poles carved to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the RCMP – was raised on East Beach, in what is now the Grand Chief Bernard Charles Memorial Plaza. Lane told Peace Arch News in April 2000, in a retirement interview, that the project was one he was particularly proud of. “Not just the significance of the pole, but the doors that were opened between us and the First Nations,” Lane said. The experience created an enormous opportunity for forgiveness and understanding,

It also led Lane to have a permanent reminder of the milestone tattooed on his right foreman – a double thunderbird, the logo of the Semiahmoo First Nation. “I just felt very comfortable having it done,” he said. Famed First Nations artist Robert Davidson this week recalled Lane’s dedication to the project, which symbolized the healing from rifts and grievances of the past. “He did an incredible job by
instigating that plaza – he was very sincere and committed to whatever he took on,” Davidson said. “And he maintained the friendship after the project. Quite often people move on, but he was a gentleman through and through.” Lane started White Rock’s first community policing section in 1993 and much of what is done through there today – from Block Watch to Victim Assistance – has its roots in programs he initiated. Crime prevention co-ordinator
Julia Everett said Lane was also responsible for the Red Serge fundraising events that benefited the volunteer programs. “Always modest, he never wanted to take the recognition he deserved for all that he did for the community,” she said. Everett described Lane as “a wonderful man with a great sense of humour… very much a family man.” Lane came to White Rock after 15 years as a Mountie. He joined
the RCMP as a special constable in 1974, and spent the next eight years posted to the Vancouver airport. It was during this time that he received his first Commanding Officer’s Commendation, for disarming a knife-wielding suspect. (His second came in 2000, for the role he played in bringing the totem pole project together.) Lane became a regular officer in 1982, at the age of 43, and went on to work in Richmond before arriving in White Rock in 1989. When he retired 11 years later, he wasn’t shy about the fact he wouldn’t miss the front-and-centre role he’d held throughout his time at the White Rock detachment. “You’re always on display and it’ll be nice not to be,” he told PAN. “I won’t miss that part at all.” At the same time, he recognized his penchant for making things happen. “If I had a forte, it’s bringing people together to make things work,” he said. Former colleague Const. Jim Garnett – he and Lane worked together at the airport and with Richmond RCMP – remembered Lane could be sold on an idea or project if he could see it would have an impact on others. “Mike was always interested in doing things that would make a difference. If he thought something would make a difference, he could see himself participating in it.” Hogg remembers speaking at Lane’s retirement party in Peace Arch Park about the things most people hope for when they retire: to have lived, loved and left a legacy. “If those three things are true, he certainly did them well,” he said. Lane is survived by his wife of 47 years, Dianne, daughters Glenna and Erin and four grandchildren. True to Lane’s preference to stay out of the spotlight, a public service has not been planned. Anyone wishing to pay tribute is encouraged to donate in his memory to White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society or BC Children’s Hospital. – with files from Alex Browne

Expressly forbidden in city due to dry weather
Open fires banned in Surrey Open fires in the city, as well as barbecues in parks and beaches, are now expressly forbidden in Surrey. Because of the recent dry weather, the provincial wildlife branch has banned all burning in the coastal fire region. Those same conditions have made Surrey extremely hazardous to fire, officials say. Surrey is cancelling all burning permits and is prohibiting outdoor fires until further notice.
Barbecues in city parks and beaches are also prohibited, but cooking appliances such as propane barbecues are allowed. A few cautionary notes to avoid fires in Surrey include: • Dispose of smoking materials properly and make sure they are completely extinguished. Do not dispose of cigarette butts out of your vehicle window or in planter boxes. • Don’t leave barbecues unattended and ensure they are
turned off properly after you have finished using them. Keep barbecues at least one metre (three feet) away from the side of buildings. • Explain the dangers of playing with and lighting fires to children. • Properly dispose of bottles and broken glass you find outdoors to avoid them magnifying the sun’s rays and starting a fire. – Kevin Diakiw

2013 Annual Report Pursuant to Section 98 of the Community Charter, City of White Rock Council invites the public to provide comment(s) in person or by written submission regarding the 2013 Annual Report for the Corporation of the City of White Rock at the Regular Council Meeting.

Edwin Chan (second from right) completed the 200-km Ride For Hope.
Fundraiser for Canuck Place Children’s Hospital
Riders bring hope Sarah Massah Staff Reporter
It was a perfect day for a bike ride earlier this month, making it a little easier to pedal 200 km for White Rock’s Edwin Chan. The longtime cyclist, 42, was making the trek from Memorial Park in Hope to London Drugs in Morgan Crossing, along with 50 others on July 9, for the annual Ride For Hope, in support of Canuck Place Children’s Hospital. “It was great,” Chang told Peace Arch News the day after the ride. “The sun was shining. It was a fun ride.” Chang, who is the manager at the London Drugs in Morgan Crossing, has been involved with the bike ride since its inception eight years ago.
Longtime friend and Canucks alum Jeff Bandura helped organize the first ride. “Six of us, eight years ago, did the first Ride for Hope, and raised $500,” Chan said. “It’s kept building to where it’s at today.” The avid cyclist has only missed two rides in the eight years the fundraiser has taken place. More than $570,000 was raised from the ride, which will benefit Canuck Place – which is currently building a new facility in Abbotsford, where the cyclists made a pit stop. “We stopped in Abbotsford and it’s nice to see the development from last year. We can see firsthand the funds that we’re raising coming to fruition,” Chang said.

It will be necessary for our field crew to enter your yard during the testing but there is no need for them to enter your house unless you have detected smoke & want them to identify the source of the leak. Call the numbers at the bottom of the page or contact the crew outside, if you detect smoke in your house.

or Peninsula-raised Kaitlyn Yott, musical theatre continues to be a “fairy tale” experience. Last seen locally as Belle in Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society’s popular panto version of Beauty and the Beast, the Earl Marriott grad can’t seem to get away from familiar fantasy characters – particularly in her latest summer assignment. She’s playing Meriwether, one of three fairy godmothers, in Shrek: The Musical at Theatre Under The Stars (Malkin Bowl, Stanley Park, Vancouver), alternating performances with Legally Blonde: The Musical in a season that lasts until Aug. 23.

She cares about your concerns and the wellbeing of the show, and it’s created such a bond between us – our cast is like a family.” Yott said she also appreciates the
underlying message of the show, in which the ogre Shrek helps all the fairy tale folk who – considered abnormal by the evil Lord Farquaad – have been made outcasts. “It’s all about embracing who you are; about what makes us special and what makes us strong,” she said, noting that Meriweather is the smallest of the fairies. “I’ve had to embrace the fact that I’m small,” she said. “It’s definitely a theme that changes your perspective. There’s a heart to this show that the movie doesn’t have – it’s hard not to live this message.” All performances are at 8 p.m., except for fireworks nights, when the curtain goes up at 7 p.m. For tickets ($20-45) and information, contact the box office at 604-696-4295, or visit www.tuts.ca

Fourth win in a row at Canadian Open
Surrey, White Rock athletes
Team Japan triumphant
Many medals won at Games
Rick Kupchuk
The B.C. Summer Games wrapped up in Nanaimo Sunday afternoon, with local athletes helping lift the Fraser Valley (Zone 3) team to the top of the medal standings. Surrey sent roughly 140 athletes to Nanaimo to compete in the 19 sports, comprising a large part of the Fraser Valley. Zone 3 finished atop the medal standings with 207 medals, 80 of which were gold. White Rock had a smaller but strong showing in Nanaimo as well, with Pacific Sea Wolves swimmer Catherine Grimme, 12, coming home with three gold medals and two bronze from her first appearance at the Games. Grimme took home gold in the 200-m backstroke, 100-m backstroke and the 4 X 50m medley relay. In the 4 X 50m free relay and the 800m relay, the Southridge student took home bronze. Other medal winners from last weekend:

It’s four in a row for Japan, and likely its most dominant performance at the Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship. Team Japan capped a 10-0 (won-lost) run at Softball City with a 7-0 victory over Team U.S.A. in Monday night’s championship game, a contest called after five innings on the mercy rule. U.S.A. finished as the second place team, going 9-3 overall. Team Canada, which upset the United States 10-6 in their first playoff game Saturday night, lost to the Americans 9-2 in Monday’s semifinal game and settled for a bronze medal after posting a 6-4 record. In the championship game, Japan took an early lead on a two-out, two-run single from Yukiyo Mine in the top of the first inning. Japanese pitcher Sayuri Yamane kept Team U.S.A. off the score board, allowing just four hits and a walk in four and two-thirds innings pitcher, with five strikeouts. Japan put the game away in the fifth inning, scoring five times on five hits and one error. Back-to-back two-run singles upped the difference to seven runs, and a twoout single from Haylie McCleney was all the U.S.A. could manage in their last at-bat. Outscoring the opposition 73-11 in the 10 games, Japan was the class of the tournament in 2014. Last season, they needed extra innings to defeat Australia 2-0 in the championship game. The closest Japan came to losing was in a 4-2 victory over Canada in a round robin game last Thursday. Five of their 10 victories were by shutout, and only once did they surrender more than two runs, when they defeated Canada 8-4 in the playoff round Sunday night. That loss sent Team Canada to Monday’s semifinal game, where they were eliminated by Team U.S.A. in a five-inning game. Two runs in the second inning and six more in the third game gave the U.S.A. a quick 8-0 lead. Canada cut the difference to six runs with a pair in the top of the fifth, but they conceded a score in the bottom half of the inning and the game ended. The Delta Heat ’97 took second place in the Futures (U19) Gold tournament,

Pavelick doubled with two out, then scored on Tom Melenchuk’s single to force extra innings. The Mariners scored a go-ahead run in the eighth on a two-out single, holding White Rock scoreless for the win.

After losing three of four games to close out the regular season, the White Rock Tritons saw their record fall to .500 in the B.C. Premier Baseball League Sunday. Their 24-24 (won-lost) mark leaves the team in seventh place, assured of one of eight playoff positions. What isn’t known is who the Tritons will visit for a best-of-three series this weekend.

the 5.7L Hemi V8 with 360hp, moving all that power to four wheels through an 8-speed automatic. City fuel economy can be frightening but I was surprised at how good this truck is, even when taking advantage of the new 120 km/h speed limit on the Coquihalla highway. The Durango put in a solid 11.8 L/100km, with more than 900 km driven. Keep in mind I didn’t soft foot my way to or from Kelowna. I did notice that the fuel economy improved vastly the closer I stayed to 100 km/h. The handling is a bit top-heavy in the corners, especially at higher speeds, but after some initial body roll, the Durango is very stable. One notable feature is the automatic fantastic adaptive cruise control, making the ride very enjoyable. Verdict If you drive in the city, the base 3.6L V6 engine might be a better choice based on fuel consumption but, if you drive a lot on the highway or tow a boat (3,265 kg towing capacity), the
Hemi is the right choice. Power was always there to pass and pull up a hill and the fuel economy can be good if the driver watches their speed. The V8 has the ability to switch off four of the eight cylinders when the truck is under light load and accessing this as often as possible makes a big difference. Another thing to consider is price: the Durango is not inexpensive, starting at $39,995 for the V6 and running up to $52,495 for the top Citadel V8. My family loved spending time in the Durango, we all had a lot of space and the trip was effortless. Our next adventure is to Portland, Oregon in the Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel. I can’t wait to see how that new truck compares. The Lowdown Power: 3.6L V6 with 290hp or 5.7L V8 with 360hp Fill-up: 15.6L/9.1L/100km (city/highway V8) Sticker price: $39,995-$52,495

Touring the Outback around The Rock St. John’s, N.L.: Atop Signal Hill is an arrow that points westward. It reads “Vancouver, 5,031 km/3,126 mi.” I’m a long way from home. But as I look over the rock wall of the historical landmark in St. John’s, N.L., I don’t feel so far away. An iceberg presents itself in the distance as the warm morning sun lights up the Atlantic Ocean. The faint hum of a vessel’s engine drones away in the background.
‘‘
Looking out into the Atlantic, another iceberg lazily floats by as the humpback whales are out and breathing... I could get used to this, along with the companionship of the 2015 Subaru Outback.
’’
Alexandra Straub
To think, on Dec. 12, 1901, the first transatlantic wireless signal was received by Guglielmo Marconi at that spot. It’s a fascinating piece of history. Interestingly, my phone whistles telling me I’ve received a message. As I walk towards the allnew 2015 Subaru Outback, I realize that this vehicle is also making its own little history. Touted as the world’s first sport utility wagon, it’s now 20 years old and better than ever. There’s an all-new exterior look, the interior is much more refined, there’s a vibrant gauge cluster, a new audio system, and around back, there’s a total of 1005L of cargo capacity (that’s up 33L from the 2014 model.) There’s also a choice of two engines: a humble 2.5L, 4-cylinder with 175 horsepower and 174 lb.-ft. of torque, or a more potent 3.6L, 6-cylinder with 256 horsepower and 247 lb.-ft. of torque. The latter of the two engines is what powered me around “The Rock” – not to be confused with Dwayne Johnson, the actor and former WWE star.
With only a couple of days to figure out some adventures, time would be tight, but I’d enjoy each minute of it. Complete with a hightorque Lineartronic CVT, I had the option to up and downshift through the Outback’s simulated gears, in case I needed to pass cars en route to my various adventures. First: sea kayaking in Cape Broyle. Though the drive from downtown St. John’s is only about 66 kilometres, I’ve learned that giving yourself a little extra time when going anywhere is a good idea. Let’s just say the city wasn’t built on a grid so it’s not always a straight shot getting out. And even though you’re on roadways, they’re not highways. Furthermore, not everyone was on such a tight time budget as I was. That said, when I was happily soaking in the surroundings, I did so in peace and quiet. It’s amazing how serene the cabin remains even at highway speeds, with the wind blowing furiously. Furthermore, the Outback has incredible off road capabilities, in case I needed to get to some hard to reach spots. With a ground clearance of 220mm – like the Forester and XV Crosstrek – it can tackle the trails without even breaking a sweat. Thanks to the X-Mode feature, it allows for even more traction in high-slip environments. This all-wheel drive vehicle is just as happy being on the road as it is playing in the puddles, mud or climbing rocks. Another adventure that wasn’t as physically demanding took me to Ferryland. Established in 1621, this community south of St. John’s rests quaintly on the coast. While many clusters of homes do too, this one is particularly magical. After parking, it’s about a one-kilometre walk until you reach a lighthouse. Not just any lighthouse, but one that serves picnic lunches so you and your loved ones can enjoy a meal while sitting on blankets, partaking in a sandwich prepared on freshly-baked bread, sipping homemade lemonade and breathing in the natural beauty of the open ocean. Onto a higher paced adventure – sort of – was a stop in Brigus. One particular bridge
was on my mind. The one that competitors in the Targa Newfoundland race fly over. The sign says 10 km/h. That’s not the case when drivers are blasting through the tiny waterfront community. But I wanted to be a part of the fun, even if I was at a complete standstill on the crossing. A trip to Newfoundland wouldn’t be complete without at trip to Cape Spear, Canada’s easternmost point. Looking
out into the Atlantic, another iceberg lazily floats by as the humpback whales are out and breathing. A cool ocean breeze blows the salty air around. I could get used to this, along with the companionship of the 2015 Subaru Outback. The 2015 Subaru Outback has a starting MSRP of $27,995.

Car smashes are the leading cause of accidental death among children in B.C. According to government statistics, every year more than 1,300 children under nine are injured or killed. Putting that in perspective, that’s the equivalent of around five elementary schools. It’s estimated that the
proper use of child car safety seats reduce the risk of injury by a massive 85 per cent and death by 70 per cent. Very frightening then to contemplate that around five percent of parents don’t put their children in seats and of those that do, more than half improperly install them. It’s an issue to which I’m particularly attuned after the recent birth of my first grandson. I found myself grappling with a rear facing car seat – which is legally required. After a few bruised knuckles and a bruised head from bashing it on the door frame, Francis was installed safely, as was his seat. For years, the BC Automobile Association Child Passenger Safety Program has provided solid information, resources and training to ensure parents install these lifesavers correctly (www.bcaa. com/road-safety/childpassenger-safety/overview). Now Volvo has produced a fabulous safety manual called Children & Cars, which is available free of charge at any Volvo dealership. It was penned for Sweden, but the text in the Canadian version has been adapted to reflect our laws. While it is required here that children under 12 months must be placed in a rearfacing seat, it’s acceptable for children aged one to transfer to a forward-facing seat. The Swedes take issue with that and say it’s better they stay in a rear-facing seat as long as possible, often beyond three years. The booklet explains that

Sports cars like the Nissan 370Z Roadster are surprisingly fuel-efficient, and environmentally friendly.
’’
Bob McHugh
There are no beaches, no piers, no theme parks, no giant roller coasters and no kids... OK, just a few little darlings. It does have beautifully preserved historic buildings, magnificent gardens, art galleries, museums and a vibrant “old town” district with theatres, bars and many great restaurants. This “Z” was designed by a Canadian. A talented young man named Randy Rodriguez from Surrey, B.C. who works at Nissan’s U.S. design centre in California. That magic moment of divine inspiration for the Z’s fluid styling lines apparently came while he was watching Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. He also has cleverly incorporated some subtle styling references to the original 240Z, a classic sports car. The Z’s one-touch, autolatching convertible top can open or close in about 20 seconds and comes with a glass rear window and an integrated electric rear window defroster. It also comes with a fabric inner liner and a hinged metal body-colour tonneau cover that gives the top-down 370Z a classy finished look. This Z has a lighter and more rigid body structure than its predecessor, and a more powerful 332-horsepower 3.7-litre DOHC V6 engine. There’s a lovely “growl” from its dual exhaust pipes when you prod the gas
pedal, and drive goes to the rear wheels via a viscoustype limited slip differential. A noteworthy high-tech engine enhancement is its Variable Valve Event and Lift Control (VVEL) system, which adds extra power, yet improves fuel efficiency and provides cleaner exhaust emissions. Wandering on less travelled roads towards the towering San Gabriel Mountains, which create a picturesque backdrop to Pasadena, was an opportunity to play with the Z’s delightful rev-matching seven-speed automatic transmission. A six-speed manual transmission can also be fitted (via a sport package) and it comes with a downshift rev-matching feature, a “world first” for Nissan engineering. It’s a snug driver cockpit that offers limited storage (although there is some extra space behind the seats), a single cup-holder centre console and a pullup style park brake. I used all the rear travel provided on the driver’s seat and had the seat cushion set to its lowest position. Getting in or out of the low-slung Z wasn’t as painful an exercise as I feared it might be, but if you suffer from back or joint ailments a taller vehicle would definitely be a better choice. The hip point for the driver’s seat is very low and you sit with legs extended forward, viewing the road ahead over what suddenly seems like a much longer hood. Its short windshield and surrounding glass give Z a chopped racy appearance and the moulded design of the tonneau cover enhances its classic “double cockpit” roadster styling. Vertical door handles have become a signature feature of modern Z cars. Auxiliary turn-signal lights, on the front fenders, also hail from older generations of Z. An exceptionally good power-to-weight ratio allows an under-six-second, zero to 100 km/hour acceleration time and puts this Z into elite sports car territory. Yet, when you consider its comparatively good fuel economy numbers and sane pricing, it’s still one of the smarter “expensive plaything” purchases. In Canada, the Roadster is offered in a Touring trim with both six-speed manual and seven-speed automatic
transmissions. Touring automatic comes with both sport and navigation packages in Canada, but these packages are optional in the U.S. There’s also a basic (non-touring) edition of the 370Z Roadster that sells for $41,470, south of the border. Not too long ago, highperformance cars guzzled fuel, belched smog and were a workout to drive. Not so now. bob.mchugh@ drivewaybc.ca PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: Offers valid until July 31, 2014.

The Nissan 370Z (Zee or Zed) oozes youthful energy with its edgy design and wholehearted performance. Add warm California air to enhance the open sports car driving experience and roll back a few years, at least temporarily. My two days in Los Angeles were spent mainly in and around Pasadena, a short freeway drive (16 kilometres) northeast of the downtown core.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
A few more tips for making your home more energy efficient
Photo submitted by FortisBC
FortisBC’s Joan Churchill is behind the popular Renos with Joan series, and now the Shopping with Joan series. She offers homeowners tips for conserving energy, including installing a low-flow showerhead in your bathroom.
Save money with natural gas water heating By Kerry Vital
A warm shower or a relaxing hot bath is one of life’s simple little pleasures. Most of us don’t think about what it takes to heat that water until a rush of cold hits you. But it should be one of the top things on your list when looking to purchase or renovate a home. According to Natural Resources Canada, heating water takes up more than 25 per cent
of your home’s total energy use. So installing the most efficient water heater possible is well worth the initial outlay. “Look beyond the granite and the stainlesssteel appliances,” advises Joan Churchill at FortisBC. Churchill is the woman behind the popular Renos with Joan series, and now the Shopping with Joan series that appears in The Conserver, a free enewsletter filled with easy energy-saving tips that you can sign up for at
fortisbc.com/conserver. In 2010, Churchill purchased a pre-war bungalow and started renovating it into her energy-efficient dream home. Four years later the major renovation is complete. It began by upgrading the inefficient furnace to a high-efficiency, natural gas ENERGY STAR® model. “I wanted a natural gas water heater because heating with natural gas is more affordable,” Churchill says. Plus, FortisBC offers a rebate of up to $1,000 when installing an ENERGY STAR® water heater. Learn more at fortisbc.com/ waterheater. She chose a non-condensing tankless
It’s easy to save on water heating. Wash your clothes in cold water (except for your dirtiest whites), and take shorter showers. Try running your dishwasher only when it’s full, and make sure you fix your leaky pipes. It’s surprising how much water you waste when you leave a faucet dripping. Another way to save energy is to install a programmable thermostat, which will help you save up to 15 per cent on your home heating bills. Or, just wear more layers! Adding a sweater to your outfit will keep you cozy and save you money. Ensuring your home is well-insulated is one of the smartest things you can do. Not only will it keep you cooler in the summer by keeping hot air out, it will also keep your warm air from escaping when the temperatures drop. When it’s chilly outside, keep your doors and windows shut to prevent the heat from escaping your house, and caulk the interior side of your windows where the sash meets the frame to keep those cold winds out. You can also add weatherstripping to your exterior doors and the windows that open. Ensuring you change the filter on your furnace every three to six months will protect your furnace, as well as prevent the fan motor from overheating. This will keep a bit more money in your wallet! It is incredibly important to hire a professionally trained and licensed contractor when you are looking to install natural gas, whether it’s for a renovation or a new home. FortisBC has developed the Contractor Program to provide homeowners with easy access to licensed contractors. These contractors are well-informed about energy efficiency incentives and innovative technologies. They will provide you a written quote with an outline of costs and work involved. FortisBC recommends getting at least three quotes, and asking each of them if they are familiar with available rebates for including natural gas in your home. For more information about the program, visit fortisbc.com/findacontractor.

Natural gas. Good for shaving expenses. Heating water accounts for about 25 per cent of your home’s energy use. Choosing a high-efficiency natural gas model offers plenty of hot water when you need it—plus savings on your energy costs. Rebates available.

Start the process of including natural gas in your home by calling FortisBC CONTINUED FROM HOME FRONT
model, which she notes will last about 20 years and fits her lifestyle. “If you’re not sure what water heater is right for you, consider how many people live in your home, how many bathrooms there are and how long you plan to stay in the home,” she advises. “I love my natural gas water heater,” Churchill says. “I never run out of hot water; I can fill my soaker tub and run the dishwasher at the same time.” Churchill also included natural gas in her kitchen renovation via a natural gas range. “I’ve never had one before, and I love it!” she says. “I heard natural gas gives you infinite control for cooking, and it’s true! Plus, a cooktop or range will also work in a power outage.” In her Shopping with Joan series, she sifts through the abundance of information that’s out there – so you don’t have to – and provides easy shopping and energy-saving tips that make sense. So far she’s discussed low-flow sink faucets and saving water with low-flow showerheads. “I want to give people the information they may need in one place,” she explains. “Little things like switching to a low-flow showerhead can add up to savings on your energy bills.” If your home doesn’t have natural gas, start by calling FortisBC and inquiring as to the location of the nearest gas main. Depending on where you live, there may be a natural gas main already in the street in front of your house. You can then request an estimate on how much it will cost to install a service line to your home. For more information about the benefits of natural gas in the home, visit fortisbc.com/choosegas.

PATTON, William Lawrence December 3, 1936 July 3, 2014
October 1949 July 2014 Drina passed away peacefully on Friday July 18th at Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock. After a teacher certificate in Mathematics Drina went with CUSO in 1983 to Nigeria on a teaching assignment. In Onitsha I had the good fortune to fall in love with Drina and from this day on I had the best time of my life since it was a match of equal minds. We both shared the same idea of traveling and seeing overseas countries. From Belize, Marshall Islands, Bolivia, Columbia to Cambodia we always called White Rock home. Drina likes to play tennis, play guitar, singing in various choirs, ran as an NDP candiate, endless discussion about the world and was always open to give one more party. She is predeceased by her parents Doris and Raeburn Allen. I would like to thank the staff of RCH and Peace Arch Hospital for taking loving care of Drina. Drina is survived by her Sister Gerry (Georg), nephew Mike & niece Carin and four Grandchildren and me. As Drina always said one more trip and don’t run too fast ahead of me since I like to catch up with you. Drina thanks again for giving me the opportunity to be your partner for over 34 years through our interesting life. A service and Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date. Donations in her Memory can be made to Peace Arch Hospital.

April 25, 1940 – July 11, 2014 t is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Michael Francis Lane, 74, of White Rock, B.C. Michael passed away at Peace Arch Hospice after a valiant battle with cancer. Michael was born in Montreal, Quebec to the late Thomas Lane and Louisa (Laurion) Lane. He was the youngest of five siblings, Patricia, Gerald, Thomas and Janet. Michael spent his boyhood years playing on the sports fields and streets in the Snowdon area. He met the love of his life, Dianne, in 1964 and the two were married April 27th, 1968. Michael and Dianne moved to White Rock in 1975 to raise their family and immediately fell in love with the quaint seaside town. Michael then directed his passion for White Rock into a very successful 26-year career with the RCMP. He believed in a community based policing model that focused on building partnerships between the community and the police. One of his many community legacies was the creation of White Rock’s Totem Plaza, which was a gift to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the RCMP and their alliance with the Semiahmoo First Nation. The ‘Gift’ consists of two totem poles, designed by Coast Salish artist Susan Point and Haida artist Robert Davidson. This project created many lifelong friendships with the Semiahmoo First Nations people that he cherished dearly. Michael is survived by his loving wife of 47 years Dianne, daughters Glenna (Doug) and Erin (Josh). He adored each of his grandchildren, Lauren, Mailie, Peyton and Tyler. All four grandkids share their Gichan’s love of reading, laughing and time with family. Raising two beautiful girls was his greatest accomplishment, and from him each learned strength, courage and compassion. Michael passed away peacefully on July 11th at sunrise, his favourite time of day. The world is a safer and better place because of Michael and he will be greatly missed by his family and friends. The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at Peace Arch Hospital and Hospice. In lieu of flowers, donations in his name can be made to the White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society or BC Children’s Hospital.
