No start in sight

School delays Jeff Nagel & Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Pickets were brandished instead of pencils at public schools this week, as classes were cancelled amid the ongoing B.C. teachers’ dispute. Veteran mediator Vince Ready walked away from the exploratory negotiations Saturday, saying the two sides were at “an impasse” and simply too far apart – particularly on wages and benefits – for mediation to be productive. And B.C. Premier Christy Clark said there was “no magic wand” that would solve the impasse, while calling on teachers to suspend the strike to allow classes while negotiations continued. But as of Tuesday morning – which was to be the first day of class for Surrey School District’s 72,000 students – teachers were back walking picket lines outside all local schools, and parents were making alternate plans for their children. It was business as usual for educators at private schools, however, where the return to classrooms was right on schedule. Two in South Surrey – White i see page 5

Resident complains of police reaction Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A South Surrey woman is alleging police brutality following an incident Monday evening that left her bruised, swollen and “really shaken up.” “I was so scared… I called 911 on the police,” said Katherine Olsen. “They were just unbelievable.” According to Olsen, five officers in four police Tracy Holmes photo cars showed up at her home around 10 p.m. Sept.

She said she was in her backyard with tenant Robert Jennings and a friend when police came through the gate. Olsen said Jennings immediately turned the music down, but police handcuffed him anyway. Jennings was arrested for obstruction because he failed to identify himself to police, and was being cited for a noise-violation bylaw, Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said. As well, officers also “noticed the smell of burned marijuana.” Olsen said when she asked the officers why she was being arrested, she was told it was for

I was not belligerent, I never swore at them, I did nothing to them. They had no right to do what they did to me.” Concerned she was next, Olsen said she tried to go inside to call 911. She said she was arrested and put in the back of a police car after asking the officers to leave. i see page 4

There is really very little that those caught up in this can do, other than organize rallies and vent their frustrations. Traditional news media outlets and social media are filled with comments from frustrated parents and teachers. There is one other thing that could help shine the spotlight on this dispute for what it is – a political battle. If teachers are unhappy with the way the BCTF executive is conducting the strike (and there is little sign that they are), they can organize and vote out that executive. They would likely need to get rid of their local leadership as well, as heading up a BCTF local provides a path to the BCTF executive suite. As for parents and other members of the public, they can take a good look at whether or not a recall campaign is warranted. While recalling an MLA in B.C. is difficult, it is not impossible. BC Liberal MLAs are showing unwavering support for the government’s hard line. If enough members of the public are truly unhappy with the politicization of this labour dispute, starting recall campaigns for Liberal MLAs is a way to send a strong message. It is unlikely that the public or BCTF members will discipline their leaders. Most people will express their unhappiness, make alternative arrangements for their children and hope against hope that the strike will end soon. At this juncture, that seems like a faint hope.

FOI request indicates 1,683 fewer parking tickets issued during month of job action

White Rock still recovering from strike Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

It’s likely that more than 1,600 motorists dodged bylaw tickets in White Rock during the month-long civic strike earlier this year. According to statistics received last week through a Freedom of Information request by Peace Arch News to the City of White Rock in June, 869 parking tickets were issued during the job action, which began May 1 and continued through June 2. In the same period the year before, 2,552 tickets were issued. The numbers refer to violations of both the city’s parking-meter bylaw and its street and traffic bylaw, which stipulate fines ranging from $50 to $500, depending on the offence. Mayor Wayne Baldwin said last week after the results of the FOI were made available to

PAN that he is not surprised by the drop in the volume of tickets issued, but rather that the number issued during the strike was as high as it was. He has yet to learn the exact impact it will have on city revenues. In a July 14 report, financial services director Sandra Kurylo told council those figures are “difficult to accurately estimate.” “Due to the variability of revenue, particularly as it relates to parking, it would be difficult to attempt to determine what impact, if any, the strike played in the pattern of parking meter payment by visitors to White Rock,” she writes. “Further, although the manager of parking issued tickets during the strike, clearly the city had limited resources available to issue parking tickets and generate the revenues

With any cost savings “there’s an off-setting loss of revenue,” Baldwin said. Kurylo’s report was compiled in response

to a motion by Coun. Grant Meyer, who asked that options for rebating taxpayers be explored in the event any savings are realized as a result of the job action. Kurylo suggested adding $80,000 that would have been spent on providing solidwaste services to the city’s 2015 budget, to be used for a one-time expense. Council voted instead to immediately invest the money into parks maintenance. Baldwin said Friday the city still hasn’t fully recovered from the impact of the strike, and efforts to catch up with work that didn’t get done continue. “We’re getting there,” he said, noting the permits and licensing department was hardest hit. A backlog “was there before the strike and it’s worse after,” he said.

9-year-old attacked

Charges in child’s assault Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A 23-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the nighttime sexual assault of a nineyear-old girl in Surrey last week. Police announced this week that they arrested Donovan Christopher Adams last Thursday evening and, on Tuesday, charged him with break and enter, kidnapping, sexual assault, sexual interference and committing an indecent act. Investigators say the suspect in the Aug. 27 incident is of no fixed address and that the victim did not know her alleged attacker. Adams appeared in Surrey Provincial Court Tuesday afternoon and remains in custody. Police say the girl was sleeping in her bedroom of her home near 99 Avenue and 128 Street when she was awoken and lured out an open window by a stranger. The attacker took the child to a nearby park where he sexually assaulted her. He then took her to a yard close by and demanded she stay there until he left. She complied, and eventually ran home and her mom called police. “Last Wednesday, we experienced an event that nobody ever wants to occur, the kidnapping and assault of a nine-year-old girl,” Surrey RCMP Supt. Trent Rolfe said. He said the young girl is very brave “and helped us catch this man.” He said that given the circumstances, the victim is doing “remarkably well.” Police say home security videos from neighbours helped lead investigators to a suspect, as did witness accounts which helped verify some timelines. The suspect was arrested near Robson Park. Anyone with further information can call 604-599-0502.

Brooke Colby aims to tackle development in White Rock, citing highrises – such as the two-tower Miramar Village, the Saltaire and the Avra.

Longtime resident declares candidacy in White Rock

Mayoral challenger targets towers Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The nomination papers can’t be filed yet, but White Rock voters can expect to have at least two options on the ballot when it comes to choosing their next mayor. Brooke Colby – son of the late Larry Colby, a one-time White Rock alderman and former executive director of the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce – said Tuesday he is throwing his hat in the ring. Colby, who grew up in White Rock, said “a multitude of issues” are behind the decision. Those include overdevelopment and the crowding that results; as well, the safety of the city’s seniors, particularly in relation to traffic issues. The 55-year-old father of one said he would also like to see pay parking rates on Marine Drive decreased during the winter, and plans

to come up with a solution to the issue “within a month.” “There’s lots of ways to make money for a city without ruining businesses,” he said. Colby, who runs a concrete placing, finishing and pumping company, said he did not make his decision to Brooke Colby run overnight. He said he has been toying with the idea for about eight years – ever since his father passed away – and he started talking about it outside of his immediate family and friends last year. He said he shares his father’s dislike of highrises. The senior Colby once ran for mayor and missed the chair “by a very slim margin… because somebody started a rumour that he liked highrises,” Colby said.

“My dad always swore he’d never let a building go up higher than six storeys.” Colby described the current mayor, Wayne Baldwin – who has made no secret of his plans to run for a second term – as “a lovely gentleman, an old friend of the family.” Wayne Baldwin “It’s no disrespect to him,” he said of his quest for the mayor’s chair. “I’d just like to do things a little bit differently. “I would just like White Rock to be a little bit more friendly.” The nomination period for the municipal election opens at 9 a.m. Sept. 30. Election day is Nov. 15.

Two-year-old found starving, police allege

Mother charged A 23-year-old Whalley woman is being charged for starving her twoyear-old son. The woman and child cannot be identified, but police say the woman has been arrested and is facing charges of criminal negligence and failure to provide the necessities of life. The emaciated 27-month-old boy was seized by police as soon as they were alerted by witnesses, and they

say he is lucky to be alive. His current condition is unknown at this time. While she can’t be identified, they are calling for any witnesses who may have information to come forward. The investigation is in the early stages. More information will be reported at www.peacearchnews.com as it becomes available. – Kevin Diakiw

Resident given noise fine i from page 1 “The second person became agitated and began yelling at officers to leave her property,” Paquet stated. “She was also arrested after failing to identify herself.” Both were released once they identified themselves, Paquet said. Olsen said a corporal kicked her when she said she was disabled and had difficulty walking due to being born with missing growth plates in her ankles. And she was handcuffed after explaining she suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder. “He goes, ‘there’s nothing wrong with you,’ and he booted me in my ankle,” a distraught Olsen said, showing her still-swollen joint. Olsen said she has bruising on her left hand, red marks on her right wrist, and her rotator cuff was torn.

“I told them I had rheumatoid (arthritis) and I was crippled in my feet, they just kept going,” said Olsen. “It was like the more that I told them I was disabled, the more that they did.” Paquet said “there was no indication” of a physical confrontation during the arrest, though the second person did “push back against (the officer), and at one point broke free from the officer’s grip.” Olsen is confident home-security video will prove she and Jennings were mistreated. Friend Rod Noel alleges similar mistreatment happened to him following a car accident, and said he went to Olsen’s Wednesday morning to offer support in speaking out. Olsen said after 20 minutes in a police car, she was handed a $250 municipal bylaw ticket for the noise.

SEPTEMBER

Rallies planned throughout B.C. i from page 1 Rock Christian Academy and Star of the Sea – opened Tuesday, and a third, Southridge School, was set to open today (Thursday). WRCA’s first day was a short one, with students dismissed at noon after a brief assembly in which staff – including new principal David Michel – introduced themselves to students. “It’s been a really busy day, but it’s great to get back at it,” said WRCA’s director of advancement Sam Rehman. The parking lot at Star of the Sea Catholic School on 24 Avenue, meanwhile, was packed with parents dropping off and picking up children as the school started fall as usual, with a morning assembly for Grades 1-7 on Tuesday and an afternoon kindergarten session on Wednesday. A new principal, Nicole Regush, and a new pastor, Fr. Glen Dion, are among the staff additions. Southridge officials declined to comment formally or to participate in back-to-school photos. They said they are sensitive to the issue, as both students and teachers at the school have close connections to the public system. Surrey School District administrators, meanwhile, were warning parents to plan for a lengthy shutdown of schools and to not assume the labour dispute will be resolved in a matter of days. But some parents, like Surrey mom Meera Gill, were getting even more directly involved. Although her two children graduated in the spring, that didn’t stop her from making a statement on the need for a resolution to the strike. Gill helped organize a parent walk in Holland Park last night (after Peace Arch News’ press deadline), which was expected to draw a significant crowd. “I struggled through the 12 years as a single mom and I know how hard it is,” she said. “It wasn’t fun, it wasn’t easy, but when you see something not right, you speak up.” She said other parents she’s spoken with have waited patiently for both sides in the dispute to come to some agreement, but

‘No magic wand’: Premier Clark. are quickly becoming angry and frustrated as their children are denied an education. “We understand it’s a complex matter, we’re not looking for fault,” said Gill. “What we want is a resolution. Figure this out.” The B.C. Federation of Labour (BCFL) also organized a series of “solidarity rallies” this week – the first of which was held Tuesday in Surrey outside Education Minister Peter Fassbender’s office, who is also the MLA for Surrey-Fleetwood. Hundreds of people of all ages braved the rain, carrying signs reading “Investing in education makes cents!” and “One fish, two fish, fund schools, our wish!” “The BC Liberal government just doesn’t get it,” said Jim Sinclair, president of the BCFL. “We know that the majority of people in this province support teachers and overwhelmingly agree with the issues they are fighting for.” Subsequent rallies were planned yesterday at Premier Christy Clark’s office in Kelowna, Thursday at Labour Minister Shirley Bond’s office in Prince George, and Friday at the BC Liberal cabinet office in Vancouver. Tuesday was also the start of a social-media-driven “MLA playdate” concept where, in the absence of school, the public was encouraged to take children to their local Liberal MLA’s office. Some parents and kids carried signs or delivered letters to the offices, while others drew pictures or left chalk messages on

the sidewalk. But most MLAs were not in their offices, with at least one posting a note on a window saying the office would be closed during the dispute for the safety of staff. B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) president Jim Iker said the two sides are just one per cent apart on wages. The government offer is seven per cent over six years, while the union wants eight per cent over five. But Fassbender said the BCTF demand is nearly twice what other public sector unions have settled for. Another challenge to a negotiated settlement remains the government’s pending appeal of a B.C. Supreme Court ruling that it violated the union’s bargaining rights in 2002 when it stripped provisions on class size and support. Iker claimed the BCTF has reduced its demands by $125 million, including a cut in the size of its proposed fund to settle grievances, while the government offered no meaningful moves in return and “squandered” the chance at a deal. He said the province wants new contract language that will “nullify” the union’s legal victories on class size and composition and circumvent any future appeal court ruling in teachers’ favour. “B.C. teachers will not bargain away everything that the B.C. Supreme Court has already awarded us and we will not jeopardize any future court decision,” Iker said. “The government must back off that unreasonable request and invest money in the system now.” Fassbender again insisted the province won’t legislate the teachers back to work, saying it would keep the government and union “on the same dysfunctional treadmill” they’ve been on for 30 years. “Negotiating a settlement requires union leaders to stand in front of their members and explain what has been achieved at the bargaining table,” he said. – with files from Tracy Holmes, Nick Greenizan & Alex Browne

Pier pressure

ith all due respect to Semiahmoo Arts, for whom last week’s Party on the Pier was conceived as a fundraiser in the form of a centennial celebration for White Rock’s iconic pier, the $100-per-ticket event did not cut it as an inclusive event for all. While, by most accounts, a success for the select few who shelled out the cash – and an effective way of raising money for arts programs – it did not sit well with the more general public who found themselves barred, albeit politely, from ‘their’ pier on the evening of Aug. 28. Some people came down that evening prepared for a community celebration; other casual strollers, who had not heard about the event, were prepared to participate – until they heard the cost. Still others, not yet the age of the majority, were barred from paying tribute. While city leaders and other celebrants may have been sufficiently impressed by this exclusive bash to contemplate making a pier event a regular occurrence, it would do well for them to contemplate reactions among the populace. Some in White Rock are decidedly unimpressed with the optics of ordinary citizens being denied access to the pier, whatever the occasion. There is an emotional undercurrent among residents who feel the waterfront is already becoming too blatantly a private enclave – governed by the elite, who can well afford ocean-view property. These are dangerous waters to navigate, particularly for those who rely so heavily on political goodwill. Originally intended as a federal wharf for commercial vessels – but condemned to being a largely decorative edifice after the opening of the Panama Canal, also in 1914 – the White Rock pier was long ago claimed by the public. They walked on it, fished from it, swam around it, moored boats to it, ate in restaurants built alongside it, even drove on it, as White Rock’s destiny evolved from potential port to quaint holiday destination. The people of White Rock even banded together to save their pier, when the federal government of the 1970s decided it was time to dismantle it. If that sounds like the residents of White Rock are fiercely possessive of their icon, so be it. These people deserve a celebration that resonates with them and is inclusive of them. It’s not too late. White Rock’s pier was officially opened on Nov. 14, 1914, which means we’re still a couple of months and change shy of its actual 100th anniversary. The powers that be should take note, and ring Nov. 14 on their calendars. And if they don’t feel capable of coming up with a genuine public celebration for that date, then the people should come down, en masse, for their own unhindered stroll.

We are reminded that the electronic media gives everyone a soapbox, and we always hear from all sides. In the past week, I have been at a celebration of life, and a celebration of 50 years of marriage. At both events, there were Power Point presentations covering the last 50 to 60 years. The different fads and fashions were displayed and we were reminded of everything from poodle skirts to hula hoops, huge tail fins to powder blue leisure suits. I have no doubt that one day, 25 years from now, some hologram in my room at the retirement home will be reminding us of the ice-bucket challenges during the summer of 2014 that helped eradicate a disease that nobody contracts anymore. Hopefully, it will be followed by a side story about all the other diseases we used to get that have been cured. If it takes a few million people dumping a bucket of ice water on their heads, so be it. I accepted the challenge, poured my bucket of water on my head and sent in my money. When that news piece is shown 25 years from now – via hologram or otherwise – I want to be able to say, “I was a part of that cure.” And I hope the staff in that home says “If he tells that stupid golf joke again, he’s going to get another ice bucket.” Jim McGregor writes for Langley Times, sister paper to Peace Arch News.

Crosswalks no protection Editor: Re: Bring on the fashion police, Sept. 2 letters. With all due respect to J. Routledge’s frivolous letter to the editor, I would like to make this comment. I am a jaywalker and for this one reason – it is safer! I do not do it for convenience, but for safety. Seven years ago, I was a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk on my way to work, and a woman hit me with her car, tossed me up onto her roof and kept driving. I eventually fell off, and I’m lucky enough to be alive today. My entire life changed in those few minutes, and today I live with PTSD – a nasty disorder that is the result of my near-death experience. It has taken me years to rebuild my life and my career. Since then, as a rule, I avoid crosswalks. This week, I decided to use a crosswalk while I was walking my two Doberman pinschers. The three of us were nearly struck by a woman in a small silver SUV. She came so close that I felt her. This was not a case of jaywalking, but a case of a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk – with a walk sign – with two large dogs, being ignored by a woman who was not distracted as I made eye contact with her, but one with an obvious case of road rage. I have since gone back to jaywalking, thank you. As for our police, I think they have far more important things to do than control jaywalkers. Lee Wyllie, Surrey

Critical timing for interchange Editor: The wonderful and much-needed interchange at 16 Avenue and Highway 99 has been finished and ready to use for several weeks now. Why has it not been opened, so the people that have paid for it can benefit? Because the politicians have decided that we – the payers – should be deprived of the fruits of our labours so they can have a ‘grand official opening’ after the summer. This is ridiculous – the polite word for BS. B.K. Leith, Surrey (Editor’s note: The Ministry of Transportation says signs, painted lines and electrical work require completion before the full four-lane overpass and interchange can be opened, most likely later this month.)

Political will to fight crime Editor: The RCMP are doing a great job policing Surrey, and our politicians are finally acknowledging that we desperately need more of them. Since in the last quarter residential burglaries were up 191 per cent in South Surrey, and we know a small

number of criminals commit most crimes, I propose that we put more serial offenders in prison. Yes, I know incarceration is an old-fashioned concept that modern politicians downplay, but if Surrey increases the strength of its detachment, they should assign additional members to the city’s strike force with orders to surveil and arrest more serial miscreants. A strong civic leader could persuade the local criminal justice system to keep the worst of them behind bars awhile. After all, we wouldn’t want to see Coun. Linda Hepner’s fantastical

ferris wheel (Hepner takes helm, June 26) stolen by a serial offender and sold as scrap metal, would we? Gary Cameron, Surrey

Five letters to forgiveness Editor: Re: Presumption of guilt brings out the worst, Aug. 26 column. I laud columnist Nick Greenizan for calling himself and his friends

out, following their confrontation with a grieving grandfather at a park. He didn’t need to write this column. I am assuming he was under no obligation to do so, but his effort falls five letters desperately short of an acceptable apology. At one point, Nick writes, “… there’s not too many ways to swing this to make us look good.” Yes there was, Nick. There was one way: you guys could have said “sorry,” a simple five-letter long apology, and you could have repeated it in your column. Keven Drews, Surrey

Several perceived effects of rail transport to public health and safety are addressed by writers of letters to the editor.

Assessing the real rail dangers Editor: Re: All coal concerns addressed, Aug. 26. Where are the regulatory bodies in Canada that consider the public interest? The statement from Port Metro declaring all concerns about the Fraser Surrey Docks thermal-coal project to have been addressed is just words on a page. It is not supported by Port Metro’s actions and obvious priorities: • Port Metro was created by the federal government in 2008 by the amalgamation of three smaller port authorities. The resulting ‘efficiency’ has meant a loss of local representation and a loss of good working relationships with municipalities near the ports. • Port Metro has maintained an exceptionally close relationship with Fraser Surrey Docks and other coalindustry players. It sponsored the Coal Association of Canada’s 2013 conference, but attempted to keep this secret because of fears about public backlash. Apparently, the problem was not its own conflict of interest but the fact the public might become aware of it. • Port Metro allowed Fraser Surrey Docks to hold open houses rather than public hearings about the project, despite the fact that such open houses tend to serve as promotion opportunities for industry rather than as opportunities for public input. • Port Metro did not question the adequacy of the environmental impact assessment hastily done for Fraser Surrey Docks by SNC Lavalin, a company that has been exposed for corrupt practices internationally. Port Metro paid little attention to the flaws in the EIA pointed out by medical officers and environmental experts. Because of Port Metro’s decision, we can now expect the number of coal cars passing through White Rock and South Surrey to double over the next few years. Transport Canada will put even more emphasis on the protection of the trains so that they can pass more freely through this community. Transport Canada is another one of those regulatory bodies that doesn’t regulate – note the abysmal report card drawn up for it by transportation consultant Mary Jane Bennett (Mayor warns of federal indifference to rail fears, July 10). Not surprisingly, Port Metro reports to Transport Canada. David Anson, White Rock

Re: Train cargo a bigger concern, Aug. 21 letters. Letter-writer Larry Colero is correct about the dangers of derailment of hazardous chemicals on White Rock’s and South Surrey’s waterfront. A chemical spill or derailment of even one rail car risks the lives of hundreds of people living nearby, and especially those unfortunate enough to have been in the cars’ path while it derailed. To get an idea of what toxic chemicals pass through our waterfront, next time a cargo train rolls by, read what inscriptions say on just some of the cars’ train. Some trains carry ethanol, certain types of acids, etc. I also believe people have lost sight of the real dangerous chemicals passing through our waterfront every day, and instead, have grown disproportionately concerned about coal, particularly U.S. coal. Most of the toxic chemicals passing through our waterfront are far more harmful than coal. Tony Roy, White Rock Re: Safety should come first, Aug. 21 column. Local residents need not fear an accident of the Lac Mégantic scale in BNSF territory, with trains being operated to first-class standards. However, despite the 18 ‘findings’ of the Transport Safety Board investigation into the Lac Mégantic derailment, the board missed the key weakness of the braking system on trains in North America – the lack of fail-safe capability. It would seem elementary that if all else fails, then brakes should be applied automatically, but slow leakage of the compressed-air system allowed the Lac Mégantic train to run away. This is an inherent failing and is compounded by the need for ‘parked’ trains to have brakes on individual cars applied by hand. Despite all safety advances for other modes of transport, trains are still being operated using 19th century technology. An unfortunate combination of circumstances conspired to cause the Lac Mégantic disaster; the potential for runaway trains remains. John Bliss, White Rock Re: More coal adds to our problems, Aug. 28 letters. Simon Clews’ letter to the editor makes me wonder just how many affected by such nightly dose of invasive train-horn sounds might have gone on to develop some medical conditions leading to premature death.

Students decorate hospice room with Narnia theme

A novel idea Sarah Massah

Staff Reporter

avourite characters from C.S. Lewis’ famous children’s novel, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, have been given new life at a Langley hospice, thanks to South Surrey’s Tessa Nickel and fellow students from Kwantlen Polytechnic University. The group transformed a small room at the residence for terminally ill patients into a scene straight from the long-loved book about four siblings who stumble into the magical world of Narnia through a wardrobe in a spare room of their uncle’s home. The two-month project ❝We wanted – assigned to Nickel to… create and her friend, Alyx a room that Essers, in May by KPU would help fine arts chair Kira Wu, the kids forget through the course, their problems Artistic Practice in the Community – saw 20 and what feet of space covered in they’re going scenes from the book, through, even including the iconic if it’s just for a winter scene, complete with the lamppost. minute.❞ “Me and my friend, Tessa Nickel Alyx, were the two student people really, really interested in doing the Langley Hospice project,” Nickel said. “It was this tiny little room, almost like a closet, with a little door, about 4½ feet high that you would have to crouch to get into. “The kids were already calling it the Narnia room, and they wanted us to make it the real thing.” Essers took charge of the bulk of the painting, while Nickel focused on design components that would help make the room more three-dimensional, including

come into Narnia through the wardrobe, and was finished off with crystal knobs,” Nickel said. The hospice unveiled the room last month at a garden party where guests were served Turkish delights – another homage to the book – while making their way through the wardrobe and into Narnia. “It was wonderful to see so many people appreciate the room – even the adults. They had this sense of wonder. It was really interesting to see them crouch over in their fancy clothes and crawl through to see the drawings,” Nickel laughed. “The feeling we had from getting to do this… It’s really awesome. We wanted to use our art practice to create a room that would help the kids forget their problems and what they’re going through, even if it’s just for a minute.”

completed the feeling we were trying to make,” Nickel said. The 24-year-old fourth-year student said the entire project was a collaborative one, with the children at the hospice providing input on what characters to include and what scenes would adorn the walls. “One thing that was really cool, even when we just started working on it, was that the hospice staff would bring the kids in and show the process. We loved being able to see the kids’ reactions,” Nickel said. After hours of work, the Earl Marriott grad was able to add the finishing touch to the room. Nickel’s father, CEO of Stor-X Organizing Systems, built and donated a wardrobe that serves as the door into the room, completing the fairytale space. “The wardrobe really finished off the room – it gave that feeling of when the kids

Suicide the focus of one-day exhibit, discussion

Reaching out over stigma Evan Seal Black Press

Surrey's Valley View Funeral Home is hosting a photo exhibit and panel discussion to support suicide prevention and education â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with a focus on men. The event, titled Man-Up Against Suicide, is a one-day exhibition and discussion forum that will feature a series of photographs depicting suicide by 25 artists who have either contemplated taking their own life or have lost a friend or loved one to suicide. By giving the artists a canvas, the hope is to challenge the stigma around mental illness and to show there are always alternatives to ending one's life. "The exhibited pieces reach out in a range of ways, some dark and despairing, some hopeful of a brighter future, some mes-

saging those at risk," said Dr. John Oliffe, a nursing professor at UBC. "The collection of photographs and narratives challenge the stigma of men's mental illness, highlight the tragedy of men's silence and isolation and hold up the important connections and relationships that provide alternatives to taking one's life." For UBC social science researcher and men's health research project manager Christina Han, the event is meant to trigger discussion around an often difficult subject. "Suicide is often a very hard topic to talk about," she said, "but having the photographs gives the participants a focal point to begin discussions and it's also a much better way for us to share our research findings with the public."

Man-Up Against Suicide was funded by Movember Canada Mental Health Initiatives and is being held on Sept. 10 in order to coincide with World Suicide Prevention day. Valley View Funeral Home has marked the day for the last few years with speakers and service providers on hand to help give the general public information about resources that are available in the community. The exhibit will be open to the public throughout the day on Sept. 10, with a panel discussion from 7-9 p.m. involving family members and representatives from the Fraser Health Crisis Line, Fraser Mental Health and OPTIONS. Valley View Funeral Home is located at 14660 72 Ave. For more information on the project, go to www.manupagainstsuicide.ca

DID YOU KNOW: Since becoming a pharmacist last year, one of the things that has surprised me the most is how many people have trouble taking prescription cholesterol medication. For the vast majority, the benefits of these medications outweigh the risks, but people ask about natural approaches every day. Family Care Pharmacy strongly believes in practicing both prescription and complementary & alternative medicine, and one of our favourite disease states to talk about with our patients is cholesterol management. The Natural Standard has assigned Grade A evidence-based ratings to plant sterols (such as those found in NOW Guggul Extract) and soluble fiber (Glucomannan and Cho-LessTerol by Organika) for cholesterol management.

South Surrey to host northwest regional cat awards

Feline stars to take stage Jennifer Lang Black Press

From Egyptian royalty to remote Russian rarities, this weekend’s northwest regional awards cat show in South Surrey promises to be exactly what it’s called – a Star Studded Affair. There will even be a genuine feline celebrity on deck – Chester, the grey Scottish Fold kitten who spent a month lost at Montreal’s airport. Cloverdale’s Amanda Stewart bought the registered kitten from a breeder in Quebec, but he vanished in May after being boarded onto an Air Canada flight headed for his new home. Stewart, who has wanted a Scottish Fold since she was a girl, was about to head to the airport to pick up her new cat when the airline rang. At first, “I thought it was my husband pulling a joke,” she said, explaining how she’d been reluctant to put

Chester, a Scottish Fold cat will be at the show. the cat in cargo. As the situation sank in, she turned to Facebook, and before long, news of the family’s missing cat spread, earning news headlines across the country. A month later, on June 17, an airport employee found Chester roaming around the landing strip – dehydrated, but otherwise OK. He was soon home in Cloverdale and, more than two months later, he’s thriving. “He’s doing great,” Stewart said. “You wouldn’t even know he

was in such a situation.” Stewart describes Chester as “very laid back. Very easy going, and he’s super lazy.” Chester’s Facebook page has attracted 3,200 followers, who continue to receive updates on his progress. This will be Chester’s first appearance at the northwest regional awards cat show, presented by the Cat Fanciers of B.C. club (www.cfofbc.org) Sept. 5-7 at the Pacific Inn

(1160 King George Blvd.). The public is welcome to attend, says cat fancier Shirley Byington, another Cloverdale resident who will have several cats of her own entered in competition. Show hours are Friday from 4:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.. Admission is $6, $4 for seniors and free for 12 and under.

Next step in provincial booze regulation reforms

Looser liquor penalties eyed Jeff Nagel Black Press

The province is contemplating changing how it punishes pubs, restaurants and liquor stores that violate liquor rules that ban overserving and selling to minors. Business owners have asked government for a more flexible penalty system and a month-long online consultation running to Sept. 30 asks stakeholders for input on the options. One possibility to be explored is lower or higher penalties. According to a government discussion paper released Friday, B.C. penalties are stiffer than

most other provinces. “Decreasing penalties would bring British Columbia in closer alignment with the average among the provinces,” it says, noting government must balance business hardship and the need for deterrence for public safety. A first offence for a B.C. liquor establishment typically means a one- to three-day suspension for overcrowding and 10 days or a $7,500 fine for selling to a minor (the first-offence max is $10,000 and 15 days for serving minors.) Alberta bars have a choice of paying a fine or serving a suspension – which is one of the ideas

up for consideration – and most operators there choose the fine, which is typically $500 to $1,500 on a public safety first offence. The stiffest penalties are in Ontario, where suspensions of 21 days and longer are are common. Another issue is perceived unfairness of the current system for different business types. Food-primary outlets can keep on serving food during a suspension, while liquor-primary bars and retail stores must close. The paper is online, at http:// www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/lclb/docsforms/penalty-schedule-consultation.pdf

That’s what host Michael Roberds and three noted tribute artists are asking with their upcoming show, Summer Night of Rock & Roll, which threatens to shake, rattle and rock South Surrey’s Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240 (2643 128 St.) to its foundations, come Saturday, Sept. 20 at 8 p.m. The evening, co-organized with Surrey’s Gordon Rebel (saluting Roy Orbison) and Eli ‘Tigerman’ Williams (channelling ’68-Vegas-era Elvis), and Burnaby’s Aaron Wong (evoking young Elvis), will bring back the distinctive sounds and performance styles of two of the most legendary and enduring hit-makers of the last 60 years. Tying it all together in old-time MC style will be Roberds (well known for numerous appearances as actor, comedian and Michael Roberds media host, including host his long stint as Uncle Fester in The New Addams Family), with partial proceeds from the evening going to the Royal Canadian Theatre Company. Putting together the show was pretty natural, Roberds said, explaining that he has known Rebel for some years, and that the latter was instrumental in bringing onboard Williams and Wong, with whom Rebel has worked frequently on the same bill over the last few years. “I was a fan of all the acts, and I thought we could maybe present them and bring them to a wider audience,” he said, adding that he is developing an “old-fashioned comedy routine” to blend with the acts appropriately. “I’m a huge fan of old rock ’n’ roll. I’m not a singer, but I enjoy the music a lot. We’re going to have a really fantastic night.” The modest, down-to-earth Rebel explained that while he and his colleagues manage to capture the look and evoke the sound of Orbison and Elvis, they’re not doing “impressions” per se. “There’s only one Elvis and only one Roy Orbison,” he acknowledged. He looks at their performances as a recreation of the excitement generated by the original artists – and he’s seen the music, and the live experience forge an immediate, electrical connection with audiences across B.C. “In some of the communities, like Salmon Arm, Enderby and Kamloops, it’s like you’re a real star – everyone knows you’re in town and who you are,” he said.

Gordon Rebel (left), Aaron Wong (above right) and Eli Williams (lower right) will perform at the Summer Night of Rock & Roll Sept. 20. He is quick to credit the appeal and dynamism of both Wong and Williams – the latter a frequent competitor at the annual Elvis World Championships in Memphis. Their ability to work audiences contrasts nicely with the more shy approach Rebel takes in evoking the real-life Orbison, he said. “That’s their strong suit. Aaron brings a lot of energy to his performance that conveys the young Elvis – he’s a good dancer,” he added. “And Eli, if he’s doing the ’68 Special with his leathers, or the Vegas years with the white jumpsuit, he’s got all the women drooling.” Rebel said he first got into singing as a karaoke performer, but got into performing Orbison’s material after a well-received Halloween appearance eight years ago, turning professional in 2010. Ironically, he said, he was a bigger fan of the Beatles, growing up, although he accepts

his natural alto-tenor range is better suited to Orbison’s songs. “I was really into the British Invasion, but I remember listening to Orbison’s voice and realizing he was unique.” He’s learned a lot about Orbison along the way, he added. “Ringo Starr said he was the only performer the Beatles did not like to follow. He’d opened for them, but they knew that while they held the record for so many weeks in the number one spot on the charts, the one who broke that record was Orbison.” He also discovered that Orbison’s trademark dark shades look came about while touring England, when he lost his regular eyewear and had to wear his prescription sunglasses instead. Rebel, naturally, includes all of the key Orbison hits in his set, including Pretty Woman, Only The Lonely, Running Scared, FRIDAY

In Dreams, and the singer’s latter-day success with The Travelling Wilburys, You’ve Got It. The music still has potent appeal, he noted, and there’s a mystical something about the persona that adds another dimension to performing it. “When I put on the dark glasses, I don’t even recognize myself in the mirror,” he said. “And people are very forgiving – about 80 per cent of it is visual. If you look the part, you’re dead-on.” But performing a tribute is about much more than cashing in on an artist’s appeal – in many cases it’s reaffirming and extending it, he suggested. “I enjoy Roy Orbison’s music – and I want to keep it alive for a younger generation.” “If this all works out well,” quipped Roberds, “I might come back in the spring with my personal tribute to Madonna.” For tickets ($20 each) call 604-582-6111.

Event scheduled for Oct. 24-26 in White Rock

Artists added to festival The International Artists’ Day Festival is picking up more master artists and speakers, as more pieces fall into place for the event, scheduled for Oct. 24-26 at White Rock Community Centre. Among master artists who will be featured at the Oct. 24 gala are digital and illustrative artist Patrick Turner, painter and freelance photographer Mark Pytlos, and oil painter and watercolorist Robert H. McMurray. Also confirmed for the IAD’s series of ‘biz talks’ during the festival are Lucille Pavey, CEO of Arts Umbrella and Milan Veverka, managing director of White Rock-based tech company Kaboola. Turner embodies the current evolution of the art business, which has seen an increasing emphasis on digital artwork and printing as many fine art painters enter the digital field, encouraging younger collectors into the market. Considered one of the foremost illustrative artists of this era, Turner got his feet wet in the arts working as a graphic illustrator in White Rock during the 1980s and 1990s, while showing fine art work in galleries. The animation and ‘gaming’ business soon became a full-time pursuit for him as he developed his expertise in 3D modelling. Among action games he has developed are Reborn, The Invessi Chronicles, Ravens Run and Call Of Duty – Special Ops. At the same time, Turner

The graphic digital work of artist Patrick Turner will be featured along with his fine art work at the International Artists’ Day Festival. continues to work in fine art and has become an accomplished realist painter. European-born Pytlos, well versed in traditional as well as modern techniques, has developed a strong and innovative style that blends precise realism with abstract expressionism, and features vibrant colours and strong lines. His paintings have been featured in galleries across Canada, Australia and Europe. An active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA), Pytlos is a follower of such masters as Robert Bateman, Pino and Martin Grelle, but has taken his own approach in

celebrating the majesty of nature with life-like accuracy and painstaking detail. New Westminster-born, Richmond-raised McMurray came to fine art late, after establishing a business career as a chartered accountant (he has practiced in Surrey since 1964). Renewing an early interest in oil painting, he began studying with Alexander Sutherland in 1973, developing his own style from influences as diverse as Edward Hopper and Robert Genn. Also a watercolorist since attending an FCA workshop on Saltspring Island in 1986, McMurray was elected to FCA Signature status (AFCA) in 1995.

uestion: My sister and brother who are non-identical twins have been away in Africa for eight months on some “do-gooder” project trying to help villagers improve the quality of their water. My widowed mother passed away seven months ago and not long before she died I convinced her that it would save a lot of taxes if she put all her assets, including her home in joint tenancy with me. She did so, and I used the “right of survivor” clause to transfer everything to my name. I’ve been told there is a six-month time limit for my brother and sister to start a lawsuit, and has that time now expired, I’m home free right?

nswer: No. Your brother and sister will have ten years to start a lawsuit against you for a declaration that the assets that you transferred to your name are held in trust by you for your mother’s estate. There is a six-month limitation period only for actions under the Wills Variation Act, but even then the time starts when the Supreme Court grants probate of your mother’s will. NEW CLIENTS WELCOME

On all but the base model, the second streets, this preserved part of history looks most of the same and third row of seats can be folded and feels much the way it would when gold features as the more and store electronically. The Denali was first discovered in 1896. The Yukon is is exceptionally well equipped and also a great test for this big truck because expensive Cadillac of the immense stretches of unpopulated Escalade but is more shows great attention to detail, with the aluminum trim around the radio roads with smooth sections, potholes and and heat controls, leather seating loose gravel. The Yukon has it all, including use-friendly and less expensive. with French stitching. What the GMC spectacular vistas, wide-open space and Yukon offers over the Cadillac cousin spectacular scenery. Spending three days Zack Spencer is a simpler dashboard layout with behind the wheel made me realize what traditional rotary knobs and buttons, a good job GMC has done with this truck, whereas the Cadillac has moved to touch sensitive from fuel economy to creature comforts. panels that take time to master. Looks Drive Last year, GM introduced the Chevrolet Silverado and The Yukon is offered with two engine choices, the GMC Sierra full-size pickup trucks. In fact, the Silver5.3L 355hp V8 in the base SLE and middle SLT Yukon ado won the North American Truck of the Year and models and the 6.2L V8 in the Denali. This 6.2L engine the GMC Sierra won the AJAC truck of the year. With is also used in the Escalade. There are several reasons a solid basis, the engineers then went about building to consider the Denali over the base 5.3L engine. the full-sized SUVs based on the truck chassis. They The first is the inclusion of the magnetic ride control include the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, the GMC system that is also available in the Escalade.

V8 can switch off half of the eight cylinders and lean off the fuel mixture to reduce fuel consumption. With more than 1,000 km driven at a range of speeds, the real world consumption was 12L/100 km, close to the 11.4L/100 km official highway rating with the 6.2L engine. All the current Yukon models are equipped with a 6-speed automatic but the 6.2L engines will get an 8-speed this fall, with the 5.3L following next year. AWD is standard on all but the base model and these trucks can tow up to 3856 kg. Verdict The Yukon is winner on all trim levels. I could find no fault but it is pricey. Starting at $51,800 for the SLE or $60,960 for the SLT and $75,540 for the Denali, this isn’t a cheap prospect. However, the Denali offers most of the same features as the more expensive Cadillac Escalade but is more use-friendly and less expensive. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 5.3L V8 with 355 hp or 6.2L V8 with 420 hp Fill-up: 16.2L/11.4L/100 km (city/highway) Sticker price: $51,800-$75,540

Super-duper luxury cars and classy fashion If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re driving to Hell, what kind of car would you want to be in? An SUV? A sports car? One that if you never come back, at least your missing personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report would list you last seen: â&#x20AC;&#x153;in something fast, flashy and awesome?â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;

We had air conditioning in case it got really hot and directions via the navigation system in case we wanted to go to Hell and back and lost our way.

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Alexandra Straub

When my driving partner and I stumbled upon Hell, Mich., or at least the sign that directed us that way, we were in the all-new, 2015 Hyundai Sonata; a sedan that is now seven generations strong. We had air conditioning in case it got really hot and directions via the navigation system in case we wanted to go to Hell and back and lost our way. And comfortable seats in case the crossing of the River Styx was long and arduous. Furthermore, we had the power to get us out of there if we needed to leave in a hurry. Okay, enough about Hell and back to the carâ&#x20AC;Ś for 2015, the Sonata gives you two engine options; both of which have been revised for the seventh generation. The first is a peppy 2.4L, 4-cylinder with 185 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the spirited, optional, 2.0-litre twinscroll turbocharged fourcylinder engine with 245 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Both engine variants are linked with a six-speed automatic transmission. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot going on with Hyundaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mid-size sedan. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built with an all-new chassis, which equates to a more comfortable ride, better handling and an overall improvement in NVH (Noise, Vibrations, Harshness). To test that out, we took it

to the streets of Ann Arbor in Michigan, as well as the backcountry roads that have sweeping corners and tight turns. The first thing I noticed was how much better the handling was, especially when you have it in Sport mode. The 2015 Sonata gives the driver a choice of three drive modes. These modes work together with the sedanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engine, transmission and MotorDriven Power Steering (MDPS) to suit different driver preferences. In Sport, powertrain responsiveness and heavier steering weight are both increased. The steering weight definitely comes in handy on the twisty parts of the road. In Normal mode, steering isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as responsive, but better suited for urban environments. And if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a fuelsaving mood, pop the car into Eco mode. This softens throttle response and recalibrates transmission response so you get the most out of your tank. Speaking of steering, Hyundai mentions, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 2015 Sonataâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s steering wheel features an irregular shape with increased rim thickness and ergonomic grip rests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These subtle changes ensure more of the steering wheel surface remains in contact with the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands. In turn, the vehicle offers enhanced steering system feel, especially at high speed.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d agree with this. My fingers were comfortably placed at nine and three oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock and felt pretty good there. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just the driving modes and steering wheel that make the Sonata as popular as it is. The 2015 comes with all new styling inside and outside. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s start with the cabin, since the driver will spend more time looking at a centre stack than they will the front, hexagonal grille. Featuring even higher quality materials than before, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s softer to the touch and the layout is optimized for the driver. On the outside, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see a family resemblance to the Sonataâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big brother, the Genesis. The character line is more pronounced, yet the cumulative look is more sophisticated and mature.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough segment to be in. When you have frontrunners like the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Mazda6 and more, it can get pretty heated.

But the Sonata remains cool and collected and has the goods to keep up with the best of them. The 2015 Hyundai Sonata has a starting MSRP of $23,999. The top of the line Sport 2.0T Ultimate

has an MSRP of $34,799. Visit www.hyundaicanada.com for more information. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Vancouver Home + Design Show returns to BC Place By Kerry Vital

The annual Vancouver Home + Design Show will return to BC Place starting on Oct. 16, showcasing the latest trends and tips for homeowners. Among the highlights this year will be celebrity guests such as Bryan Baeumler, host of HGTV’s Leave it to Bryan and House of Bryan, and celebrity interior designers Colin

McAllister and Justin Ryan, currently stars of Cottage Life TV’s Colin and Justin’s Cabin Pressure. “We are so excited to welcome our favourite designing duo back to the Vancouver Home + Design Show!” says Jill Kivett, regional director at Marketplace Events, who owns and operates the Vancouver Home + Design Show. “Colin and Justin made their Vancouver debut at our show in spring 2007, and we can’t wait for our show-goers to get re-acquainted.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

From their signature humour to their spot-on design savvy, our crowds are definitely in for a well-deserved treat.” The Metrie Main Stage will host several local experts, including Jamie Banfield of Jamie Banfield Design, Sarah Gallop of Sarah Gallop Design Inc. and Leigh-Ann Perrrault, a DIY blogger and regular contributor to Cityline. Other highlights include the Samsung Tag Team Kitchen Challenge, indoor street market Portobello West and Ask A Designer, among others. The show runs until Sunday Oct. 19. “Good design is all about finding your personal style and translating it effectively and affordably into everyday life,” says Kivett. “We’re looking to give every single person to walk through our show at least one tip they can use in their space, whether they rent or own. It’s take-home advice in its finest form.” For more information about the show and to purchase tickets, visit www.vancouverhomeshow.com. Tickets will also be available at BC Place.

Prodigy is Adera’s second six-storey wod-frame project at the University of British Columbia. Among the beautiful features of the homes are stainless-steel appliances and quartz slab countertops in the kitchen.

Higher living at Adera’s Prodigy By Kerry Vital

Adera has been inspired by greatness with Prodigy, their newest condominium project at the University of British Columbia. “Prodigy will be the best building we’ve ever built,” says Eric Andreasen, vicepresident of marketing and sales for Adera. “We’ve taken what we learned from our past projects at UBC and put it all into Prodigy.” Prodigy is Adera’s second six-storey wood-

frame project at UBC, and will include two buildings and 188 homes ranging from 640 to almost 1,000 square feet. “It’s been highly successful so far,” says Andreasen. “The first phase is almost 50 per cent sold, and now we’re looking forward to the next phase of the building.” Prodigy’s exterior is inspired by the natural surroundings, incorporating exposed wood beams, cedar soffits and warm brick cladding. A dramatic two-storey glass lobby bridge and breezeway will link the two buildings. Residents on the penthouse level will all have their own private roof deck, known as Adera’s signature West Coast Lanai. The roof soffiting will be extended over a portion of the deck to allow homeowners to use their deck yearround. “This is something people will be proud to come home to,” Andreasen says. The defining feature will be the extensive

water elements, including the massive reflecting pond in the interior courtyard, where ground-floor patios will have water right up to the edge. Residents will also have stunning views of neighbouring Mundell Park and the lush landscaping that will surround Prodigy. Inside, homeowners will find an elegant kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, quartz slab countertops and a porcelain tile backsplash. One of the upgrades available is the “Ultimate Gourmet Kitchen” package, which Andreasen notes is now going to be standard in the penthouse units after several buyers on that level requested it. The luxurious bathrooms feature porcelain tile flooring, complemented by quartz slab countertops and sleek plumbing fixtures. Homeowners at Prodigy will have access to the i.D. By Me program, which allows you to personalize your home with upgrades that are

right for your lifestyle and your personality. Some of the options you can choose include your colour scheme, upgrading your appliances, changing your flooring, or custom millwork. There will be pedestrian and cyclistonly green streets on two sides of Prodigy, enhancing the natural feel of the entire development, and connecting Prodigy to various parks and other parts of Wesbrook Village. Homeowners at Prodigy will be able to take advantage of all the amenities that the neighbourhood has to offer, including an elementary and secondary school, shopping, dining and recreation. They will also be just steps from Pacific Spirit Regional Park, with its 762 hectares of beaches and temperate rain forest. Homes at Prodigy start in the low 400s. For more information, visit www.adera.com, email prodigy@adera.com, call 604-221-8878 or visit the presentation centre at 106-5983 Gray Avenue, Vancouver, open daily between noon and 5 p.m.

OBITUARIES WARD, Rita Dawson (Pete) nee Standeven

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, Rita, in Surrey on Friday, August 15, 2014 at the age of 88. She was embraced by her family and left us peacefully. She is the daughter of William and Leila Standeven born November 21, 1925. Rita is predeceased by her beloved husband, Hugh, in the year 2000. She is lovingly survived by her children Andrea (Raymond), Leslee (Stafford), Wendy (Dan), Christine (Lee) and Jason (Lori). As well, her ten grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and sisters-in-law Norma Thompson and Joyce Standeven. Rita graduated from UBC with a BA in English in 1946 and was a member of the Delta Zeta Chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta Fraternity. She had a wonderful life devoted to her husband and children, many friends, her beautiful family homes and, in later years, her love of travel around the world. At Rita’s request, there will be no service. Our heartfelt thanks go to the dedicated staff of Czorny Alzheimer Centre for their compassion and caring for Rita. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of BC. Mom, you are forever in our hearts. We love you.

BARNARD, Joan Peggy 1917-2014 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Joan passed away peacefully at her home in South Surrey on Monday, August 25th at the age of 97. She is predeceased by her loving husband, George (2000) and her sister Rita (2009). She is survived by her three children Tony, Michael and Georgene (Len).Joan was devoted to and loved by her six grandchildren: Charmaine, Nicole, Jorlyn, Wade, Danielle and Susanne and three greatgrandchildren. She was affectionately called “Grannie” by many others. Joan was born on January 15, 1917 in Plymouth, England. Joan and George were married on April 27, 1940 and lived happily in England until 1953 when they immigrated to Canada. Joan worked as a bookkeeper for many years and used her knowledge of numbers to become a formidable bridge player. Joan was also an acomplished knitter, crafting many wonderful outfits for her children and grandchildren as well as knitting teddy bears to donate to the hospital. She adored animals and loved to be visited by the neighbourhood cats. She cherished family gatherings, was an avid gardener and being a sports fan, loved to cheer on her Canucks and Lions . The family would like to extend their gratitude to everyone who helped care for Joan in the past few years, especially her caregivers, Elvie and Lucy. Joan touched the hearts of all who knew her and will be deeply missed. Her ready smile, welcoming hugs and loving personality will remain in our hearts forever. By request, there will be no service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Joan’s memory to the White Rock Day Program of the Seniors Come Share Society at 15008 26th Avenue, Surrey, B. C. V4P 3H5 to thank them for the happiness they gave Joan every Friday.
