Man arrested about an hour after woman attacked by a stranger last month

Senior charged in ‘isolated’ assault Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A man in his mid-70s is facing sexualassault charges in connection with an incident late last month that White Rock police describe as “isolated.” A suspect was arrested about an hour after the Aug. 29 assault, Cpl. Nina Miller confirmed Thursday.

Reported to police around 8 a.m., the incident occurred near Victoria Avenue and Ash Street, as the victim – a woman in her 20s – was waiting outside to go to work. Noting the victim was “more than” grabbed, Miller would not disclose further details other than that the woman did not know her assailant and was not injured in the attack. “A stranger-on-stranger sex assault did

occur that day. The suspect was arrested a very short time later,” Miller said. Information regarding the assault and arrest was not immediately released – Peace Arch News learned of it last Thursday – because it was determined there was no risk to the public, she said. “It was an isolated incident,” Miller said. “We have no history and we have no other

similar calls. We believe this was a crime of opportunity.” A news release on the matter was expected in the coming days, Miller said, but was not made public as of PAN press time Monday. Miller said the investigation quickly ruled out a link with two other attempted sexual assaults – a dog walker was accosted at 3 i see page A4

Too few passengers for some community-shuttle runs, TransLink says

Increased concern over reduced bus service Alex Browne Staff Reporter

White Rock residents are starting to speak out – expressing growing concern and anger – about recent cutbacks to TransLink’s community shuttle bus service. Scott Olsen told Peace Arch News last week that a cutback to the schedule for commu-

nity routes to once an hour between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., which went into effect Sept. 1, is affecting “thousands of people” on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. And resident Shirley Swift said in an email Saturday that missing a bus – or finding the bus they have waited for is full – could mean residents spending an hour standing in the

down to hourly service in “non-peak hours” but continue half-hourly 6-9 a.m. and 3-7 p.m. Under TransLink’s service-optimization program, he said, routes are adjusted four times a year, moving resources from underused routes to others where there is overcrowding. i see page A4

Three hundred people took part in the Terry Fox Run at South Surrey Athletic Park.

Terry Fox event collects $11,000 for cancer research

Thousands raised at run Hundreds tied up their laces and ran, walked or biked around South Surrey Athletic Park Sunday to honour the spirit of Canadian icon Terry Fox and raise funds for cancer research. Three hundred participants of all ages took on the two circuits – a 1.6-km or six-km route – for the 34th annual South Surrey/ White Rock Terry Fox Run. In total, $11,000 was raised for the Terry Fox Foundation and its research arm, the Terry Fox Research Institute. On hand to cheer on the participants was Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg, White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin, Surrey’s acting mayor, Linda Hepner, and Rotary Club of White Rock president Joan Apel. White Rock resident, who was Fox’s public

White Rock

relations manager, Bill Vigars, who accompanied Fox during his run, was also at the run, sharing stories of the Canadian hero. More than 30 volunteers, mostly Rotarians, helped organize the event with assistance from the South Surrey RCMP, South Surrey Community Police Bike Patrol, volunteers from St. John Ambulance and a number of local businesses. The Rotary Club of White Rock has hosted and organized the South Surrey/White Rock run since 1997. In the 34 years since the Marathon of Hope began, the Terry Fox Foundation has raised more than $650 million for cancer research. Other runs were held in Surrey at the Cloverdale Legion and at Bear Creek Park in Newton. BOULDE CHIPS - AR CANYON SSORTED

Children write to elected officials, expressing their education concerns

Would-be students share their opinions Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Seven-year-old Bernadette Patterson-Ott can sum up how she feels about not being in school with one word: “Sad.” The Semiahmoo Trail Elementary student had been looking forward to getting back to school this month. “I really want to go into Grade 2 because I want to learn how to write,” she said Thursday, as she stood barely a stone’s throw from the South Surrey institution’s front doors. Bernadette and her brothers – one ready for kindergarten, the other in preschool – were among current, future and past Semiahmoo Trail students to meet under the late-morning sun Thursday to put pen, pencil and felt to paper to show their support for teachers. “I love going to school I wish the strike would stop,” reads one letter, written to Premier Christy Clark by eight-year-old Ruby. Seven-year-old Ethan’s request to the premier was similarly straightforward: “I want to go back to school, can you sit and talk?” Teachers across the province have been on

strike since mid-June. Last week, they voted in favour of ending the job action if the B.C. government will send their dispute to binding arbitration – a move Education Minister Peter Fassbender swiftly rejected. “As we have consistently made clear, binding arbitration would lead to unacceptable tax increases in this case,” Fassbender said shortly after the vote results were announced Wednesday. “That’s because the two sides remain too far apart on wages and benefits.” Fresh hope for mediated talks came Friday, with news that both sides were in preliminary talks with veteran mediator Vince Ready, but as of Peace Arch News press deadline Monday afternoon – the fourth day of talks – neither side was commenting publicly on progress. While many adults have voiced opinions in recent weeks, Thursday’s effort was about letting the kids express their thoughts on the matter, said mother Amy Patterson. Patterson said her four-year-old son, Wolfgang, “asked who he could complain to” about not being able to start kindergarten. “So I said he could write letters,” she said.

The scene at Semiahmoo Trail last week. “Other parents were realizing their kids wanted to have a voice, too.” Emma Pflanz, 12, said she came out in support of her mom, Natalie, an ESL and learning-support teacher at Semiahmoo Trail. “She used to have only five or six kids a day, now she has five or six kids a lesson,” Emma said. “(Teachers) are fighting to get smaller classes, so each kid could get more help. I know for a fact a lot of kids in my class

would benefit from having a helper.” Natalie Pflanz said her caseload has gone from 12 kids a year to 100 a year since 2002. “(Before), they got hours a day. (Now), they get maybe half an hour, four times a week,” she said. Teachers Gay Hawley and Jacqueline St. Cyr said community feedback they’re hearing has been more supportive as the issues are better explained. One parent who came by the school’s picket line last Tuesday with grocery gift cards for the teachers noted her children attend private school, St. Cyr said. “This was her way of saying, ‘I see you.’” St. Cyr said she trusts that if the two sides go to binding arbitration, “a third party will see the truth, “noting the job action has been a strain, both emotionally and financially. “We are struggling. Our own families have been affected. We have people that say, ‘well, that’s your choice.’ But if we don’t stand up for what is right, who will?” In all, 31 letters were written Thursday: 20 to Clark, 10 to Fassbender and one to Surrey-Panorama MLA Marvin Hunt.

Step-daughter abused

No new trial for molester Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A man found guilty of several child pornography and sex offences – some involving his own stepdaughter over a six-year period – has lost a bid for a new trial. In July 2011, the man, who cannot be named as it could identify his victims, was convicted of three sexual offences against his common-law wife’s daughter, two sexual offences against the daughter’s friend, two child-pornography charges and one count of uttering threats. The man, identified as L.V.R. in court documents, was with his common-law wife for about eight years before their relationship ended in 2000. After the breakup, the daughter, who was then about eight, continued to see her stepfather. During the trial, the girl said their relationship became sexualized when she was 10 years old. She said it only stopped at age 16, when a friend, over for a sleepover, told the teen’s mom and police were called. During the investigation, police found photographs and a video on a computer during the execution of a night search warrant. At trial, L.V.R. testified the relationship was initiated by the girl. In appealing his conviction, he argued there were no reasonable grounds for the night search and that the search warrant was issued in error. The appeal court judges, however, agreed with the trial judge, who said the seriousness of the matter and disposable nature of the items justified the night search. L.V.R. also questioned the judge’s reliance on the transcript statement of his stepdaughter, which was provided to the judge but not entered as evidence, and said the judge demonstrated favouritism. In a Sept. 12 decision, B.C. Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal.

Boater in distress receives help from a number of sources

Front-row seats to waterfront rescue Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Prompt action by kayakers helped a boater out of distress Wednesday evening, after his 10-foot aluminum vessel capsized in Semiahmoo Bay just off West Beach. The man was apparently unharmed after spending some 30 minutes in the water, clinging to the hull of his boat and attempting to bail it out. He was helped to shore by the kayakers just before 7 p.m., rescue crews reported. Emergency rescue crews – including two Crescent Beach-based vessels, a Canadian Forces helicopter, a Coast Guard hovercraft and an RCMP boat – were called out after sharp-eyed residents spotted the unfolding drama in the water and called in a 911 alarm. White Rock RCMP Cpl. Nina Miller said it appeared the man’s boat had flipped after hitting a wave. Hillside resident David Firby told Peace Arch News he was looking out of a window in his home when he saw the boater “in trouble.” “He was not in his boat and was attempting to bail it out using only his hands,” Firby said. “He was wearing a lifejacket but no one else was around.” Firby said he called 911 and was told several

other residents also raised the alarm. “Within seconds, we heard a siren on its way to the beach area,” said Firby, adding “the emergency response was nothing short (of) phenomenal – it was an impressive response to what could have been a tragic event.” The help of the two kayakers seemed crucial, according to Firby’s account. “First we saw a small kayak with a gentleman in it who went out to see if he could help,” he said. “From what I saw he may have given the boater in distress a bailing device. A second kayak… arrived on scene and looks like he gave a hand-held bailing pump to the boater. “The boater eventually managed to get back in his boat but must have been in the water for at least 30 minutes.” The kayaks held the boat from opposite sides to assist the boater in bailing, Firby said. “Then the second kayaker tied a rope around himself and proceeded to start to tow the boat back to shore.” It was at that point the RCMP boat was observed travelling to the scene at high speed. RCM-SAR5 coxswain Andrew Newman said two Crescent Beach-based crews were tasked out to the “Code 3” emergency just before 7 p.m. “They told me, ‘Andy, we’ve got a guy that’s

been ejected from a vessel,’” Newman said of the call from the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre. In addition to the vessels out of Crescent Beach and the RCMP boat, the rescue response included the 904 Cormorant helicopter out of Comox and the Coast Guard hovercraft. On arrival, the crews found the boater was not in any medical distress, Newman said. Resident Kathie Love could see the rescue helicopter and Coast Guard vessels from her balcony overlooking Oxford Street. “The helicopter circled a few times right over shore… when the two boats arrived and (were) about to land, the helicopter left,” she told PAN. The incident was not the only local marine rescue of the week. The following afternoon (Thursday), RCMSAR5 were sent out after a parent reported that four teens had become trapped on a sandbar northwest of the Crescent Beach pier. The current is strong in that area, and the ocean water “very cold,” Newman said, noting the crew successfully assisted the teens to shore. That evening, the crew towed a pair of stranded boaters to White Rock pier after a rope from a crab trap got tangled up in the prop of their 26-foot power boat. – with files from Tracy Holmes

Dignitaries laud benefit of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fish-passableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; project

Rail announcement scheduled

Hwy 99 interchange opens

A recent push by the City of White Rock to pressure Transport Canada to deal with rail-safety concerns will be the focus of a media event in Crescent Beach this morning (Tuesday). According to a news release, Surrey Coun. Linda Hepner and council are going to announce support of a

Alex Browne Staff Reporter

When most people think about highway and overpass construction, the ability of fish to swim up or downstream usually doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enter the picture. But a new six-lane overpass and interchange at 16 Avenue and Highway 99 does more than facilitate human transportation in South Surrey, according to Jay Porter, senior project manager for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s South Coast Region â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also â&#x20AC;&#x153;fishpassableâ&#x20AC;? as well. Porter was present for the hastily-called official opening of the $24-million freeway interchange last Wednesday, where local and regional politicians made much of the new structureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to accommodate growing crossborder travel and reduce traffic congestion by providing on- and off-ramps to Highway 99. The new interchange also features signalized crossings for pedestrians and cyclists, and wider sidewalks, they added. But in a side-note â&#x20AC;&#x201C; following speeches by Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Stephanie Cadieux, Surrey-Tynehead MLA Amrik Virk, Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts and TransLink board member Barry Forbes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Porter acknowledged it was a point of pride that the two-year project has helped fish habitat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done some really good environmental work here,â&#x20AC;? he told Peace Arch News while discussing the replacement of the original two-lane overpass. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The interchange is now fishpassable. Before, there used to be steel culverts under the highway for Carlson Creek, but the outlets were higher than the creek bed.â&#x20AC;? Construction of the new overpass and installation of sound

directive proposed by Mayor Wayne Baldwin last week, to have staff get the ball rolling on the process to move the tracks off of the waterfront. Organizers hope as many people as possible will turn out for the 10 a.m. event, dubbed Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Move the Tracks, at the Beecher Street rail crossing.

Local politicians marked the opening of the new interchange. baffles included concrete box culverts with a gravel and rock bed, Porter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This allows the fish to get through and use the habitat,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that city work on 14 Avenue will rectify culverts there to make the stream fish passable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will open up a whole area for fish habitat.â&#x20AC;? After a consultation process to resolve access issues raised by local residents in 2012, first phase of construction work started with demolition of the old overpass on April 12 last year. The new bridge was completed and opened at the end of August 2013, starting the second phase, which included noise barriers and widening of 16 Avenue east of Highway 99, in addition to freeway access.

Also attending the opening â&#x20AC;&#x201C; announced only the day before â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin and Coun. Bill Lawrence and South Surrey White Rock Chamber of Commerce executive director Cliff Annable. Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg, whose riding is home to the interchange, was unable to attend. Cadieux â&#x20AC;&#x201C; representing Transport Minister Todd Stone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; said the project is expected to reduce congestion regionally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all seen significant growth in this area in the last few years, and in order to see that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready for future growth (the project has been) a high priority for residents and businesses of White Rock, Surrey and Langley,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Ensuring his legacy lives on

unday marked a 34-year-old tradition which, every year, has seen people across Canada – and in more than 30 other countries around the world – take steps towards Terry Fox’s dream. “Even if I don’t finish, we need others to continue,” said Fox, who started his Marathon of Hope in April 1980, but by September of that year had stopped running as his cancer had spread to his lungs. “It’s got to keep going without me.” In the early years of the run, there were some – including White Rock’s Bill Vigars, who served as Fox’s PR man during the 1980 run – who wondered, quite rightfully, if Fox’s effort would have a lasting effect, or if interest would wane as the years passed. They needn’t have worried, of course. The strides Fox made then, artificial leg and all, were an inspiration to millions, and his journey continues to inspire. And his country has carried on his efforts to raise funds for cancer research. Locally, last Sunday’s run at South Surrey Athletic Park raised $11,000, and others in Cloverdale and Newton also pulled in thousands of dollars that will be put towards finding a cure for a disease that has touched millions of people. His efforts are also aided and celebrated by millions of students and educators on the National School Run Day, Sept. 24. But the current labour dispute has shown few signs of ending, and has put school-organized runs in doubt. The hope, of course, is that individual schools will host a run whenever classes are back in session. Sept. 24 is simply a suggested date, more than anything, Terry Fox Foundation school co-ordinator Kirsten Fox has told Black Press. Not hosting school runs would be unfortunate, considering the thousands of dollars young children raise for the cause by collecting pledges for their run. It will also mean many children (particularly the younger ones) will not have the opportunity to learn about what Terry Fox did. Schools have, for decades, done an exceptional job of incorporating him into lesson plans. Let’s hope the lessons about Fox will continue in the schools soon enough. Fox died in June 1981, but his legacy must live on forever.

The government argues that re-imposing 2002 conditions would overturn other contracts agreed to by the BCTF. BCTF’s lawyers say, in effect, the deleted terms covering working conditions weren’t there to negotiate. The Coalition of B.C. Businesses has entered the case as an intervener, arguing for the supremacy of elected governments when providing public services. Its submission notes that, unlike private disputes, the right to strike is often curtailed in the public sector. “When critical aspects of public policy are jeopardized by employee demands, those aspects could be legislated; where a fiscal downturn or inflationary pressures required austerity measures, they could be implemented through legislation; where strikes jeopardize important public services, the legislature could pass backto-work legislation, and so on.” It’s been obvious for many years that the BCTF doesn’t function like a normal union, and isn’t much interested in starting to do so. Its leadership sees itself as an agent of “social justice,” a belief demonstrated by its promotion of flawed poverty statistics and pronouncements on everything from U.S. labour law to conflict in the Middle East.

Embrace the good life Editor: Part of the ‘charm’ of moving back to White Rock, after 15 years – back to a neighbourhood we loved before, taking on a mortgage after being mortgage free – was the beach with the trains and train whistles. Harmonic and individual, those conductors rolled along. Higher taxes! Not dog friendly! What happened? What is with the haters?! Embrace the good life. Sandra Paterson, White Rock

Overrun by rats

going to be less than expected. As if they would even believe me. I have a mortgage to pay. Second guessing, I sure wish I had just stayed home on that sunny day. This dog took out a 190-pound man. Could you imagine this happening to a young child? Rob Fylling, White Rock

Doctors take a back seat Editor: Re: Enough doctors to go around, Aug. 12 letters. I would like to thank Dr. Connie Ruffo for taking the time to comment on my letter (Appreciative of quality care, Aug. 12) and being

so kind to provide me with the Primary Care Access Clinic and phone number. I have taken her advice, of course, and I called the above clinic at 604531-3111 on Aug. 19. The answering machine came on, so I left a detailed message regarding the reason for my call, e.g. looking for a family doctor. I have not received a response yet. Which makes me think, who is actually calling the shots in our health-care system these days? Are our hard-working physicians being compromised by a system that allows government and bureaucrats to subjugate their independence for the sake of profit or political expediency? Have unnecessary layers of administration taken the power away from our physicians to provide the unique quality care that we so need? Is the tyrannical

politico-corporate campus now firmly in control? I might be old fashioned, but I can’t imagine medicine can be practised without physicians. I would miss the independent doctor who serves patients with unfettered primary care. Today, way too many doctors just want to come into a clinic and do their shift and go home. The once-bragged-about quality care by family physicians is dwindling, since we no longer have that intimate doctor-patient relationship due to lack of time. Ten minutes here and there is simply not enough time to accomplish and remain relevant in a patient’s care, no matter how competent and compassionate the physician. The “A GP For Me” initiative might need some finetuning. Maggie Bernet, White Rock

Editor: We live in the Southmere area and are being overrun by rats. We have contacted the City of Surrey, which referred us to the bylaws department, who then referred us to parks, as we live very close to Southmere Park. If you have a rat problem, call the parks department at 604-501-5000. L. Pratsides, Surrey

Some shouldn’t have dogs Editor: Thinking about going for a nice walk on the beach? I would strongly advise to stay away from the offleash dog area along the White Rock East Beach area, unless you carry a big stick. But for now, I’m just going stay away from that beach and leave it to people who shouldn’t have dogs. Don’t get me wrong, I am a dog person. But on Sept. 7, a beautiful Sunday for a walk along the water’s edge, I had my feet knocked out from under me, landing on my shoulder and the side of my head, by a dog with about an 18-inch-wide head. My guess is a bull mastiff, but I didn’t stick around to find out. I was trying to keep an eye on this uncontrolled dog as it was chasing another dog, but in an instant it ran right through me. While picking myself up, all I could hear was laughter coming from who, I assume, was the owner of this beast. I slowly got up grabbing my shoulder that I landed on, knowing right away that this is going to take a while to heal. Then after straightening my bent glasses and feeling a wound where my glasses rest on my nose, dazed and confused, I walked away. Some people are completely irresponsible and should not be permitted to have this breed or any other type of dog! Can’t expect anything from City of White Rock, as this is in the City of Surrey’s jurisdiction. Can’t expect anything from Surrey, because they will tell you this is federal First Nation land. Need I say any more? I then had to go to work with a buggered shoulder, possible black eye and try to explain to my employer why my productivity is

The lack of progress in negotiations between teachers and the provincial government is frustrating for many.

Consequences of class standoff Editor: Something positive coming out of the teachers strike is that everyone is talking about our education system. Parents are looking at alternative ways to educate their children. Private schools have insane waiting lists. I’m sure that home schooling is being looked at more seriously by many parents, as well. Teachers must be looking at what other form of employment there is out there besides teaching. Teachers must also be second guessing their union leadership. Why go on strike if your negotiating team takes two months off for summer holidays? There is no indication negotiations are going anywhere. All we hear is that school will start again in October. What happens in October that will change anything? If teachers are hoping to be legislated back to work with the package that the government has been offering from the start, why go on strike in the first place? Why not settle today and have school start tomorrow? The government is handing out money to parents. That kind of thinking can easily be tweaked into giving parents vouchers to educate their children where and how they like; $40 per day works out to $8,000 per year. At this time, teachers are not allowed by their union to tutor children, but as the strike drags on that unity will break. What teacher wouldn’t want to invite 10 children into their home for five hours per day and make $80,000 per year with way less headaches than they have to endure today? As this strike lasts longer, more and more people will begin thinking outside the box and leaving the present public education system – parents and teachers alike. There are so many inventive ways to educate our children that are not being used today in our public system that it boggles the mind. Here’s hoping that the positive result of this strike is that our education system will be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century. John Bootsma, White Rock

Re: Province eyes extending school year, Sept. 9. In regards to your article about extending the class year, I feel that you did not fairly report both sides. The one precondition – not “several” – is that the government drop E80. If you do just a little research, you will see that E80 definitely tilts negotiation in government’s favour. A former Crown prosecutor explained in simple language why no one in their right mind would want to agree to E80. It is the note at the end – “these provisions supersede and replace all previous Articles that addressed class size, composition and staffing levels” – which is the sticking point. Since the government has lost in court twice already over this issue, they now want teachers to just sign away all the previous gains made that were deemed illegally stripped from their contract. So it is Education Minister Peter Fassbender, not the BCTF, who is giving empty words to the public. He does not want to negotiate. He wants to find a way not to lose another court battle. The BCTF is within one per cent and one year on the wage issue – not at all out of line with the pay raises of other unions – yet Fassbender continues to hit this talking point, even though it is not truthful. It is the government that wants to misinform the public. I wish the media would a) call him on this and b) not allow continued rhetoric reporting. Also, you report that, increasingly, “teachers no longer drawing a regular paycheque… are advertising “tutor” services online.” It would be less biased to report teachers have not been drawing “any” paycheque. It was also interesting and could be taken as insulting that you put “tutor” in quotation marks. This is usually used to indicate sarcasm. Is it Peace Arch News’ opinion that teachers would not be able to properly tutor children when they teach a whole class day in and day out? Charles Jungclaus, Surrey (Editor’s note: The reference to several preconditions was attributed to Fassbender; the quotation marks around “tutor” were to quote the word used in teacher’s online ads.)

Pomeranian-Chihuahua escaped from South Surrey home

Public plea for missing dog Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A South Surrey woman is appealing for help finding her dog, after weeks of searching and plying the neighbourhood with posters – which include the offer of a $1,000 reward – have failed to bring the PomeranianChihuahua home. “It just breaks my heart,” said Cindy Paine. “I really miss her and I need her home.” Paine said she adopted Sarah a year ago, after spotting the now twoyear-old on the Quesnel SPCA’s website. The find came two months after the heartbreak of having to put down her border collie. Paine said she knew from the get-go that Sarah was “an escape artist,” and prepared for her arrival by taking extra steps to secure her surroundings. The $1,000 effort was to ensure Sarah could get out into the yard while Paine was at work, but no farther. Unfortunately, on July 31, Sarah managed to dig her way under the fence. Neighbours who spotted the dog running around the Cranley Drive mobile home park, and others

Cindy Paine is offering a reward for the return of her dog, Sarah, who escaped on July 31. who reported sightings from other areas – from Southridge School to the corner of 168 Street and 20 Avenue – over the next 10 days, were unable to catch her, Paine said.

Then, Paine got a call from a man who had recognized Sarah in a Grandview Corners parking lot. He said he saw her Aug. 10, with a couple and two children who told him they had

found her and would take her to the SPCA. The man contacted Paine a few days later after noticing her ‘missing dog’ posters were still up. “He said, ‘I know it was your dog’,” she said. But Paine has yet to get any good news, despite daily calls to multiple branches of the SPCA and veterinarians “from Chilliwack to Richmond to Vancouver.” “I am desperate,” Paine said. “I’m hoping with some reward money that somebody will notice her.” She noted that Sarah is tattooed, and was wearing a collar and ID at the time she escaped. Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to contact Paine at 604805-4535.

City hall replaces windows The City of White Rock will spend more than half a million dollars to replace windows in its city hall and library. Council voted unanimously last week in support of the work, which is a component of renovations and upgrades that got underway earlier this year. “We’ve been waiting a while for those,” Mayor Wayne Baldwin said, following the council vote. Windows were replaced in council chambers last February; tenders for the remaining windows closed Aug. 13. In a Sept. 8 report to council, director of engineering and municipal operations Greg St. Louis recommends the work be awarded in two contracts totalling $528,000 ($654,100, including tax and contingency), with both going to Dubas Management & Construction. The replacements are already included in the city’s financial plan, St. Louis notes. They – along with a new roof on city hall expected complete by the end of the month – are to increase efficiency of the new heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in the two facilities. – Tracy Holmes

Senior woman trapped in car

Car flips in collision A White Rock senior who was trapped after her vehicle flipped in a collision Wednesday was lucky to escape with fairly minor injuries, police say. Cpl. Bert Paquet said the 76-yearold woman was westbound on 24 Avenue, turning left onto 156 Street, when her Toyota Corolla was struck by an eastbound GMC van. Witnesses said both vehicles were in the intersection on a red light at the time of the collision, just after 5 p.m. The Corolla suffered extensive damage to both sides and emergency crews had to cut the roof off to free the driver. She was transported to Peace Arch Hospital with injuries to

her left arm. The driver of the van, a 69-year-old Surrey man, was uninjured. Both vehicles had to be towed from the scene. While cause of the crash remains under investigation, Paquet said a number of witnesses reported that the sun in the western sky was extremely bright at the time. Paquet said the crash is a reminder to motorists to ensure the way is clear – “no matter what the colour of the light” – before proceeding through an intersection. “Take the extra time, make sure you’re safe,” he said. – Tracy Holmes

The Phoenix Society, a local non-profit, has proposed a new community garden and other public amenities within parkland in Surrey City Centre. The proposed community garden is just west of 140th Street on 100th Avenue. Currently the park is used as a greenway connecting 100th Avenue with 102nd Avenue. The vision for the project is a public community garden with outdoor space for seasonal events, garden markets and celebrations, as well as a small children’s play area. A small parking lot (16 cars), with access off 100A Avenue, is also proposed. Garden plots will be available to the general public. Parks staff will be available to provide information about the project, receive community feedback and answer questions regarding potential plans.

Six arrested for car thefts Four teenagers are among six people facing charges in connection with a stolen-vehicles and property crime investigation that led to six arrests last week. According to Surrey RCMP, the detachment’s High Risk Target Team made the arrests following surveillance Sept. 5 of a home in the 7100-block of 151 Street. Officers observed three vehicles that had recently been reported stolen on the property, and saw three males known to police leave the home, one in each. When the trio returned, they left in a fourth stolen vehicle. When they then returned a few minutes later, officers with the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team and Police Dog Services entered the home and took nine people into custody. Five vehicles that had been stolen over a 24-hour period were recovered, including two that had been taken

from White Rock. “The proactive targeting of the suspects by HRTT and the immediate assistance of Surrey RCMP’s Auto Crime Target Team, Air 1, ERT and PDS were key during this investigation,” said Cpl. Bert Paquet. “Surveillance was maintained for over 2½ hours until our officers identified an opportunity for a safe arrest of the suspects without any risk for our community.” All six are to appear in Surrey Provincial Court on Sept. 17. Mackenzie Russell, 20, has been charged with break-andenter, possession of stolen property over $5,000 and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. Four youths aged 15 to 17 have been charged with propertyrelated offences; another man whose identity has not been released is facing four counts of property-related offences.

When you ingest it, your body breaks it down, like any other protein, and uses it as food. When you want the real beauty beneﬁts of collagen, you have to generate it.

BioSil™ generates enerates collagen by activating the collagen producing cells in your body known as ﬁbroblasts. It is clinically proven to increase collagen formation. In fact, in the clinical trial the women taking BioSil™ reduced wrinkles by 30%, increased skin elasticity by 89% and thickened and strengthened their hair by 13% compared to women not taking BioSil™.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Residents provided with access and education to technology

Surrey libraries bridge ‘digital divide’ Sheila Reynolds

Black Press

Surrey Public Libraries are expanding resources to users by providing more access to computers and the Internet, as well as Computer Learning Centres. Contributed photos

here was a time when the library was a place with books. Lots of them. There were also shelves and chairs and tables, but that was pretty much it. Step into a library today and there’s still books aplenty. But there’s also bound to be rows of computer terminals, probably a separate room or two with classes being taught and children learning to read on iPads. As technology has dramatically and rapidly changed everyone’s lives, libraries – traditionally mainly a repository for written material – Surrey Public Libraries (SPL) has responded, transforming to address the way society now reads, communicates, researches and learns. SPL released its 2014 Literacy Day Report last week, coinciding with International Literacy Day. It points out that while it may sometimes feel like everyone is continually connected with a never-ending flow of information – with people gazing endlessly at their smart phones or tablets – the reality is there are some segments of the population who face barriers to accessing that technology. For example, statistics show that while 85 per cent of British Columbians had Internet access at home, just 71 per cent of lowincome households had home access. And while 28 per cent of the province’s youth (16-24) use the Internet at the library, nearly half of low-income youth go to the library to access the Internet. In the report, SPL’s chief librarian Melanie Houlden says the library “plays an invaluable role in reducing the ‘digital divide’ and ensuring all are included” in accessing and understanding technology. There are 300 computer terminals in the nine SPL branches, accessible by anyone with a library card (which is

also available free of charge). Users get Internet and email access, and use software such as PowerPoint or Microsoft Office. There’s also free Wi-Fi at eight branches, so visitors who do have their own laptops and devices can be connected online. There is also a SPL app available for Apple and Android phones. And library card holders can always access the SPL website to check out and download e-books from home. Age and cultural factors can also be barriers to accessing and understanding information. That’s where SPL’s Computer Learning Centres step in. From using a mouse to setting up an email account, to more specialized classes on social media, Skype or digital photography, four branches (City Centre, Semiahmoo, Guildford and Strawberry Hill) offer regular classes to help anyone who needs it. The library is now working with not-for-profit groups to ensure new Canadians, refugees, seniors and low-income residents are aware of the opportunities. For some, learning how to find a bus route or fill out an online form can be transformative. New at SPL’s Newton branch is Curiosity Corner, specifically geared to children, where kids can access iPads loaded with ageappropriate apps focussing on basic literacy and numeracy skills. As Houlden says in the literacy report, “the library acts as a bridge that connects the past to the future; ensuring that people have the technology skills needed to flourish in a knowledge and information based economy.” There are currently about 188,700 Surrey Libraries cardholders. The library is continuing its Get Carded campaign this year, with a goal of seeing another 20,000 people become members.

Semiahmoo Trail Restoration & Planting Tracy Holmes photo

Members of the White Rock/Surrey Chapter of CARP pose with White Rock’s mayor and council.

Flag-raising ceremony to mark national day on Oct. 1

CARP to recognize seniors The value of seniors to every community will be the focus of a flag-raising ceremony at White Rock City Hall next month. White Rock council gave the thumbs-up to the Oct. 1 National Seniors Day event last week, following a presentation by Ramona Kaptyn, chair of the White Rock/ Surrey Chapter of CARP – A New Vision of Aging in Canada. “Seniors in White Rock are present in all aspects of our lives: they are our parents, our

grandparents, our teachers, our volunteers, our mentors, our neighbours and our coworkers,” Kaptyn said. Kaptyn noted the effort coincides with the United Nations International Day of Older Persons, which celebrates the contributions made by seniors to better their communities, families and workplaces. CARP is a non-profit advocacy group for Canadians aged 45-plus.

White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin commended Kaptyn for a “noticeable” increase in local CARP activities. Kaptyn said anyone who wishes to come out to the 9 a.m. flagraising ceremony is welcome. The flag is “to remind older residents that they are a vibrant, important part of this agefriendly community.” City hall is located at 15322 Buena Vista Ave. – Tracy Holmes

Saturday, September 20, 2014 10am - 1pm Join the Friends of Semiahmoo Heritage Trail for a morning of trail restoration and planting fun! Everyone is invited – there will be kids’ activities as well as volunteer hours for students.

In last year’s Thanksgiving Food Drive, 450,000 pounds of food was collected for B.C. food banks.

Food drive gains steam Faith and community groups across B.C. have an appetite for making a difference, and they plan to make it easy for others to pitch in to the cause. Starting on Sept. 15, residents in communities across the province – including the Semiahmoo Peninsula – will be receiving a white bag at their homes, as part of the sixth annual B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive. Organizers hope recipients will add some non-perishable food items to the bag and leave it outside their front doors for pick-up on Saturday, Sept. 20. Last year, the effort

saw more than 6,000 volunteers with groups including Rotarians, Sikh temple societies and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints collect 450,000 pounds of donated food for B.C. food banks – all of which stayed in the community from which it was collected. This year, organizers say the aim is to more than double the amount collected provincewide. And they promise it won’t involve any doorknocking or solicitation for funds. To get involved or for more information, visit bctfooddrive. org or email info@ bctfooddrive.org

▾ MYTH: Gangs are only a “lower-class”, ethnic, or male problem: Reality: Gang members in B.C. come from every socio-economic background and all ethnicities. While racial, ethnic, and gender composition can vary by locality or type of gang, gangs are often as diverse as our communities and many do not restrict who joins as long as they can make money for the gang.

swimming, having completed the strenuous 8.5-mile Alcatraz Challenge twice – once in 2011 and again, earlier this year, with friend and Pacific Sea Wolves coach Karlene Clapham. The duo swam 1.5 miles, followed by a seven-mile out-and-back run under the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Despite her experience and the favourable water and weather conditions, Hansen noted that this was the most difficult swim she completed, adding that strategy proved essential to get through the surf to the open water on the far side and back in again. Along the route, there were more than 70 volunteers patrolling the swimmers by boat, jet-ski, kayak, outrigger canoe and stand-up paddle board – 20 of whom were professional emergency response personnel.

“This was the toughest swim I’ve done to date and I was proud to accomplish it,” she said. “Unfortunately, like so many things, now that I’ve done it, I’m thinking of ways I can do it better.” Hansen, who has been involved with triathlons for approximately 20 years, says her profession plays a big role in her motivation to continue in the strenuous activity. “I’m trying to practice what I preach. I try to promote good health in the clinic, and to promote it, I want to embody it,” she said. “I see so many patients who can’t do what they used to, for various reasons they’re limited. “I’m completely able-bodied, so it seems rude to not use it. I can’t just sit on my butt, I got to use what I got.”

more. He made his debut in 1999. The upcoming event at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds also features Gangrel, the new ASW champion, who takes on Rocket Randy Tyler for the Trans-Canada title. Bad Boy Jason Cage and Flexx and Vixxxen take on Gorgeous Michelle Starr and Short Sleeve Sampson in tag team action. The ASW Ladies Title is between defending champion Bambi Hall and Canadian Diamond. The ASW Cruiserweight Title bout is between The Great Kasaki vs. Christopher Rysekc, and Collin Cutler and Kyle Sebastian are

Doors open at 7:15 p.m., and the event starts at 8 p.m. Meet the wrestlers after the show at Rusty’s Pub in Clover Square Village (Highway 10 and 177B Street). Tickets are $20, $15 and $13.

Kwantlen teams combine for three draws in university action

Ties for Eagles on soccer pitch Rick Kupchuk Black Press

The results were the same â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but one was disappointing, the other encouraging. The Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) Eagles menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team played to a 1-1 tie with the Quest University Kermodes Saturday in Newton, then battled the Vancouver Island University Mariners to a scoreless draw Sunday in Nanaimo. Playing at home and getting an early lead, Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tie was a letdown. But on Vancouver Island Sunday, the Eagles became the first team to take a point from the 4-0-1 (won-lost-tied) Mariners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone performed well, everyone put in their shift today,â&#x20AC;? Eagles head coach Srdjan Djekanovic said Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were well organized and defended from the top to the bottom. Unlucky not to score one or two more this weekend, but this was a team (Vancouver Island) that is hard to score on.â&#x20AC;? With the two points, KPU remain in third place in the Pacific Northwest (PACWEST) Athletic Conference, one point ahead of the Kermodes and five behind the unbeaten Mariners. KPU might have been four points up on Quest had they won Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, which looked likely after a fast start. But Quest pulled even on an own goal in the 55th minute, after the Eagles took a 1-0 lead after just 10 minutes of play. Justin Turner-Pearce tallied for the home team, his third in four PACWEST games. Rookie goalie David Hicks, a graduate

limit the Kermodes offensively. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a hard-fought match that got off to

a good start. Justin got himself into the right position and scored a great goal for us,â&#x20AC;? said Djekanovic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guys did well. It is unfortunate when an own goal puts the other team into a better position.â&#x20AC;? The Eagles put forth one of their best efforts of the season in Nanaimo, with contributions from a pair of veterans. Jacob Starheim, a graduate of Seaquam Secondary, in the midfield and Elgin Park Secondary graduate Rimmer on the defense were standouts. Netminder Ashbir Paul earned the shutout for KPU. The KPU womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team earned just one point from the weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two games, playing to a 1-1 tie at home against the

Kermodes before Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4-0 loss to the Mariners. At 1-3-1 on the season, the Eagles are in fourth place, two points ahead of Quest and the Capilano Blues. KPU came from behind for the draw Saturday. The Kermodes beat rookie goalie Simran Meelu in the 38th minute to take a 1-0 lead into the break at halftime. Meelu made several saves, including two on breakaways, to keep the Eagles in the game. KPU took advantage and tied the game with six minutes to play when Panorama Ridge Secondary graduate Harlene Uppal netted a tying goal. Sunday in Nanaimo, the Mariners scored twice in each half to hand the Eagles their third loss in five games.

GVHBA to hold Fall Home Renovation Show next month By Kerry Vital If renovations are on your to-do list, you can’t miss the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association Fall Home Renovation Show on Saturday Oct. 4 and Sunday Oct. 5 at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver Theatre in Coquitlam. Presented in partnership with the Better Business Bureau, the free show will focus on professional renovation information and education. The collaboration between the GVHBA and BBB aims to bring homeowners the largest one-stop source of Vancouver’s top professional builders and renovators. The show is completely devoted to renovations, and the popular Ask a Pro booth will be onsite and providing complimentary 30-minute one-on-one consultations to homeowners

looking for assistance. The consultations are first come, first serve and signup will take place at the show. Free 20-minute seminars are also scheduled throughout the show, covering topics such as Kitchen Design Trends, Renovating versus New Build, Heritage Renovations and Designing for Small Spaces, among many others. A full list of seminar topics and schedules will be posted online. “Advanced planning and working with experienced professionals will be your best protection,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Considering you are renovating one of your greatest investments, your home, it makes sense to only work with the pros.” De Wit notes that Metro Vancouver homeowners will spend about $3.8 billion renovating their homes this year, making it extremely important to hire a professional RenoMark renova-

tor. “The RenoMark designation assures consumers that the renovator they are dealing with has completed industryleading education requirements and are part of a professional network apprised of the latest technologies and designs,” says de Wit. “As well, all RenoMark holders have committed themselves to a code of business ethics and offer warranties on the work they do, offering peace of mind to home owners that RenoMark professionals stand behind the work they do.” The event is free, but pre-registration is encouraged and attendees are asked to bring a non-perishable food item for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. For more information and to register, visit www.gvhba.org or call 778-565-4288. The show will take place between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Oct. 4, and 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Oct. 5.

The Mayfair, a luxury home renovated by Teragon Developments and Construction, is located in Vancouver’s historic Shaughnessy neighbourhood. The renovation took two and a half years from start to finish, and includes an entirely new foundation, state-of-the art technology and plenty of beautiful features. Photos supplied by Teragon Developments and Construction

West Coast luxury by Teragon Developments A two-and-a-half-year renovation updated the home from 1928 with technology and features that would have never been imaginable when the house was originally built. By Kerry Vital Vancouver’s Shaughnessy neighbourhood is full of heritage-style homes nestled in lush greenery. Many of the homes take their inspiration from the history of the area, and one of Teragon Developments and Construction’s recent renovations is no exception. The home, which blends Tudor architecture with Art Deco, also offers modern amenities that no one would have imagined when the original home was built in 1928. “This was an intense renovation,” says Lars Van Linge, president of Teragon Developments, adding that it took place over two and a half years, and includes an entirely new foundation for the home to allow for an increase in ceiling height and usable space. The original home was the same size as the finished product (approximately 10,000 square feet), but was old and out of date. The family of four brought in Van Linge and his team to build a home that can truly be considered a luxury estate. Now known as The Mayfair, the home is seriously stunning. The curb appeal is incredible, with leaded windows, wood beams, brickwork and a travertine and natural stone walkway. Tudor arches are featured throughout,

including on the ceilings, fireplaces, doors and room entrances. “The homeowner generally left it to the designers and us,” Van Linge says. Teragon worked with architect Stefan Weidemann to design the four-level home, which also features a three-car garage, botanical garden, a pool-side cabana and a private putting green, among other amenities. A wood-fired pizza oven is just one feature of the outdoor kitchen. Inside, the home is one of the most technologically advanced in North America. In fact, it won an award for Best Overall Integrated Home from the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA). “This home has everything,” says Van Linge. “It can be controlled anywhere in the world.” Integrated audio and visual systems are throughout, including outdoors. The lighting for inside and outside the house is so state-of-the-art that it required its own architect. “We installed very advanced lighting for the owner’s art collection,” Van Linge says. “His collection is worth about $4 million; he has original works by Emily Carr, for example.” To protect the artwork, the home has a built-in humidification system that will keep everything at the optimal temperature, along with multi-zone climate control. You enter through the formal entry on the main level, with its formal living room, study, formal dining room, kitchen and casual dining room and living room. There you have access to the outdoor dining terrace and covered lounge.

The Mayfair an entertainer’s paradise, with a games room, theatre and wine cellar “ from page. The level above is a private haven with three bedrooms. The master bedroom has its own dressing room and luxurious ensuite. The top level has another bedroom, as well as a sitting room, library, play room and laundry room. Teragon also expanded the basement of the home, from half crawl space and half basement to a basement with 10-foot ceilings throughout. That basement now holds a games room, home theatre, wine cellar and gym, making the home an entertainer’s paradise. The home has plenty of heritage-style touches, such as walnut panelling and flooring laid in a herringbone pattern. The bronzed railing on the sweeping staircase was inspired by an art noveau railing from Brussels, Belgium, and was handforged. Custom millwork, five fireplaces, custom stained glass and natural stone elements are just a few of the other luxurious aspects of The Mayfair. Van Linge himself is a journeyman carpenter, noting that he enjoys bringing those old-fashioned elements to his work. “Something that sets us apart is our eye for detail,” he says. “You can’t execute these kinds of ideas without being able to see the (small) details.” The renovations were completed last year and the owner has since sold the home, but Van Linge and his team are still involved with the new owners, assisting them with the operations of the house. “We’re still working with them to maintain and service the exterior paint and the HVAC system, for example,” says Van Linge. For more information about The Mayfair and Teragon Developments, visit www.teragon.ca.

The original home, above, was built in 1928 and required an upgrade. Among the new features are a home theatre, below left, a hand-forged bronzed railing on the staircase, left, and a gourmet-quality kitchen, below. Photos supplied by Teragon Developments and Construction

Transitioning into autumn in the garden By Kerry Vital Fall is a time of transition. A new season begins, the fall colours start to arrive and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to consider what you want your garden to look like next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fall is a great time to prune your shrubs and trees,â&#x20AC;? says Jeremy Miller, owner of Houston Landscapes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can rejuvenate your beds with manure, mulch and soil. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good time for planting, potting and soil amendment.â&#x20AC;? Soil amendment is something added to soil to improve an element of it, such as drainage or water retention. You want to ensure that your soil will keep your plants fertilized and healthy throughout the winter. Fall is not usually the time for blooming flowers, but it is certainly the time for gorgeous foliage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Enjoy the fall leaves; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be beautiful,â&#x20AC;? says Miller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a time to look at what you want in your yard. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking out the window now and you want to see those beautiful red leaves, now is the time to engage with a landscape designer to discuss what you can do for next year.â&#x20AC;? Fall is the perfect time to plant larger trees and shrubs, as the increased moisture in the soil will contribute to a better growing environment for them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a number of large trees that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even available in the summer,â&#x20AC;? Miller says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can bulk up your garden in the fall.â&#x20AC;? Those fallen leaves also make for great mulch for your garden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rake up all of those leaves and put them on the garden beds,â&#x20AC;? Miller says. Winter vegetables such as kale and cauliflower are great things to plant now

in preparation for the colder months. Herbs like sage and thyme are also good things to start planting in the fall. If you want to grow something from seeds, try carrots, lettuce or radishes. Now is also the time to plant bulbs to flower next year. Your local nursery will have plenty of options, from easy-to-grow varieties that even the worst gardener will be able to handle to flowers more suited to experienced green thumbs. Bulbs that you can plant right now include tulips, daffodils and hyacinths, among many others. However, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily have to wait until spring to see some blooms. Miller notes that winter pansies, for example, are able to withstand the colder weather, as their name states. Other potted plants that can create visual interest for fall include autumn crocuses and mums. Fall is also the time to plan ahead for when spring and summer return. If you spent the summer outside thinking about new paving stones or raised garden beds, start putting those plans into effect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now is the time to plan out projects for next year,â&#x20AC;? Miller says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait until next summer when contractors are ... busy; plan your larger yard renovations now because reputable contractors will be planning their 2015 contracts now.â&#x20AC;?

Fall is a good time to do some pruning and maintenance of your trees and shrubs, in preparation for next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing season. Photos supplied by Houston Landscapes

Creating texture with mouldings and millwork By Kerry Vital A plain painted wall can be boring and tired. Adding interior finishings can not only raise the value of your home, but also add some visual interest and distinction to a space. “For too long in this industry, it’s been difficult to pull together beautiful designs because selecting and purchasing moulding, trim elements and interior doors has consisted of a complicated process,” says Jan Rutgers, Director, Product Development for Metrie. “With our new Finishing Collections, gone are the days of rummaging through bins to find the best casing to match the dimensions of your baseboard.” Now, you can find pretty much everything on the market. “A few trends we are seeing include painting trim and walls the same colour,” says Rutgers. “We’re also seeing a trend of designers using unique wood stains for signature looks.” Changing up the look of your room can be as easy as installing Materials differ, but certain woods are still crown mouldings or interesting millwork.

A stylish wardrobe starts in a well-organized closet By Kerry Vital An organized closet will save you time and headaches in the morning, whether your wardrobe is large or small. No longer having to search for that sweater you wanted to wear as the weather gets chillier is just one of the benefits of installing a custom closet. “Regardless of how small or large a space, designing a custom storage solution that maximizes every inch of space can make a world of difference in helping people get organized and reclaim their environment,” says Paige Adams, sales and marketing assistant for California Closets. She points out that there is no one-sizefits-all approach to a closet. Instead, the final design can be tailored to a client’s needs. “Options are endless when it comes to creating custom closets,” Adams says. “They are completely unique to each client and their specific needs.” Accessory items for closets include tie racks, belt racks, scarf racks, pull-out mirrors and pull-out hampers, Adams says. “Clients are often looking for the most innovative and highly functional design solutions that are both beautiful and unique to them,” she adds. Are you obsessed with shoes? Built-in shoe racks that hold boots, high heels, flats, dress shoes and everything in between are easy additions to a custom closet. You don’t have to do it alone however. “Hiring a professional is extremely beneficial in the development and creation of custom closets,” says Adams. Closet organizers have come a long way since the plain white wire shelving that many people grew up with. Adams notes that there are options for every budget. “Whether our clients prefer traditional

or contemporary design, or something in between, we work with each individual to discover their needs and design aesthetic to come up with a custom storage solution that is perfect for them,” she says. “The possibilities are endless.” As with your clothing, there are many things to keep in mind when choosing what to include in your closet design. “It is important to keep in mind that before designing a custom closet, homeowners should have a good idea of how the closet will function and the items that will be going in

it,” Adams says. “This is important in creating a design that maximizes the space and best suits the client’s needs.” Do you have a few things you haven’t worn in several years but can’t bear to get rid of? Now is the time to think about whether it’s really worth keeping that pair of jeans that are too small. “Installing custom closets also provides a great opportunity for clients to purge items they haven’t worn or used in years,” says Adams. “By doing so, they can create space for the things they really need.”

Make your renovation wish list affordable with rebates It was Saturday morning, and my husband and I were ready to tackle various home renovation projects. We walked around our charming, 1903 Vancouver home and wrote down all of the areas that needed work. We decided on practical upgrades that would make the home healthier and more comfortable to live in including insulation in our attic and those upgrades that would create a more modern, aesthetically pleasing, and user-friendly home such as a new fireplace. Next, we finalized our list of home upgrades that we wanted to complete. Unfortunately, we encountered a rather large hiccup – we had a tight budget of $X, and a wish list total of $X x 10. Does this scenario sound familiar? Deciding on what upgrades are the priority is often one of the most difficult decisions to make when

starting home renovations, especially when there is a budget to work within. A recommended strategy was to first focus on the areas that would make our home healthier and more comfortable to live in, such as draftproofing and ventilation. These upgrades could also make the home more energy efficient, and save us a considerable amount of money year after year in home energy expenses. For example, heating accounts for approximately 50 per cent of an average household’s energy consumption. Therefore, any upgrades to our home’s insulation and building envelope could reduce our heating bills. As well, an ENERGY STAR® bathroom fan not only helps to maintain proper humidity and air quality, but also uses less than half the energy of a regular fan. Additionally, high and mid-efficiency

gas furnaces use about 60 to 90 per cent less energy by turning down the heat when not needed. Overall, a home that has an EnerGuide rating of 80 or higher, which indicates that it is an energy efficient Power Smart home, uses up to 30 per cent less energy than an average home on the market. If you are thinking about moving forward on some home upgrades of your own and need an incentive to get started, here you go - complete your upgrades before March 31, 2015, and you can apply for rebates

that are available through the BC Hydro Power Smart and FortisBC Home Energy Rebate Offer.

WIEBE, Peter Peter Wiebe, 89, passed away peacefully with his family at his side, early Thursday morning, September 11, 2014 at Peach Arch Hospital. He was born in Ukraine on November 2, 1924 and immigrated to Canada with his parents at age one. He is survived by his wife of 70 years, Margaret, 4 married children - Lawrence (Sharon), Raymond (Jan), Myra (Larry), and Gordon (Catherine) - 8 grandchildren, their spouses, and 15 great - grandchildren. He has 4 siblings, Margaret, Abe, Mary, & Herb (deceased). Peter grew up on a farm in Manitoba, and worked in various mines in Northern Ontario, before choosing a 25 yr career as a Chartered Life Underwriter. He won many awards for his ability to help others prepare for their financial future. The Wiebe family moved back to Winnipeg in 1965, and then to their home in White Rock, BC in 1978, where he and Margaret also ran a Care Facility. He was an accomplished musician (guitar, baritone, harmonica) and a talented singer (quartets and choirs). He particularly enjoyed Southern Gospel Music. Peter was an active and faithful member of the Pentecostal Church - including leadership roles. Peter was both a family man and a handyman. He enjoyed telling entertaining stories about previous events and experiences. One of his favorite pastimes was studying the history of Mennonites and their culture.

Community fundraises for Peace Arch Hospital

ugust 25th marked a milestone in the White Rock and South Surrey community as Peace Arch Hospital celebrated 60 years since opening its doors. Like much of White Rock’s history, the hospital’s beginnings were forged by a group of tireless trailblazers and

fundraisers who never gave up on their dream of a local hospital for their community. Prompted by Royal Columbian Hospital’s announcement in 1946 that it would no longer accept patients from Surrey, a White Rock women’s auxiliary formed and soon partnered with White

Rock Hospital Society to make that dream a reality. In 1948, the auxiliary enthusiastically started its fundraising campaign for the new and exciting community project. Plans were cemented in 1951 when local resident Amy Weatherby donated a 5.5-acre parcel of land at the corner of North Bluff Road and Finlay Street for the site for the future hospital. The BC government gave permission to build the hospital if the local community could raise one-third of the cost. Fundraising ramped up significantly with innovative fundraisers

like Porch Light Nights, where residents who wanted to make a donation would leave their porch lights on so volunteer canvassers would know which houses to visit. The White Rock Hospital Women’s Auxiliary’s efforts were a success and a brand new 45-bed hospital officially opened on August 25, 1954 with a medical staff of five. It was truly the community’s hospital, having been commissioned, built and paid for by the passionate citizens who wanted quality health care close to home.

THANK YOU PEACE ARCH HOSPITAL FOR YOUR CONTINUING CARE OF OUR

Peace Arch Hospital restricts smoking

rom the Peace Arch News, June 15, 1976:

Being a health care institution with an obligation to promote a safe, healthy environment for patients, and recognizing that smoking is a health hazard as well as a fire hazard with danger to life and property, the Board of Trustees of Peace Arch District Hospital have adopted a “No Smoking” policy in the hospital. Hospital regulations designed to carry out this policy will be instituted on June 18, 1976. The regulations state that: • Visitor smoking in the hospital is not permitted. • Out-patient smoking is not permitted. • Smoking by in-patients is permitted only in ward day rooms. • An in-patient confined to bed may smoke in the ward under supervision, providing the attending physician has written a request to such effect. • Staff smoking (including medical staff) is restricted to those areas to which patients do not normally have access such as private offices, working areas remote from patient access and from the public, in staff lounges and in the cafeteria.

campaign was launched June 11 to publicize the target date for implementation of the new policy on smoking. The cooperation of patients, visitors, medical staff and hospital employees is requested so as to minimize potential fire hazards and to permit the nonsmoker to enjoy an atmosphere free from smoke and odour resulting from the use of tobacco.

Population boom PAH deals with overcrowding

n a letter dated May 14, 1958, Chairman Lynn K. Sully of White Rock District Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board of Trustees describes the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overcrowding issues:

â&#x20AC;&#x153;For some considerable time the White Rock District Hospital has been... operating at such a high rate of occupancy that it is not possible to accommodate patients who should be hospitalized when they need it. There are 42 beds in the hospital but more are set up at times in corridors or treatment rooms. The waiting list of patients requiring hospitalization is increasing and a major problem exists

as to which patient shall be given priority of admissions. Since 1931 the population of South Surrey has roughly doubled every 10 years and there is no reason to suppose that this rate of growth will slacken. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can therefore be anticipated that the population of the area may reach 16,000 by 1960, 31,000 by 1970 and 60,000 by 1980. The population of White Rock may even reach 7,000 by 1960, 13,000 by 1970 and 25,000 by 1980.â&#x20AC;? White Rock District Hospital had been open less than three years.

hours she arrived.” “There was a caesarean section scheduled at 8:00 a.m. for another couple and our delivery doctor, Dr. Moodliar, said let’s speed this up, this baby deserves the 60th Anniversary distinction after 30 hours of labour!” Matt said. This is the first child for Matt and Lindsay who both grew up in White Rock and own and operate the Morrison Café in Ocean Park. Matt was born at Peace Arch Hospital in 1983 and Lindsay moved to the area from Newton when she was 10 years old. All of the nurses and staff were incredible,” Lindsay said. “I can’t thank my doctors, Dr. Varaguese and Dr. Moodliar, enough, along with my amazing doula, Holly McNicholl.

I couldn’t have gotten through this without her.” “Peace Arch Hospital’s maternity is a top-notch facility,” Matt adds. “The birthing suites are fantastic.” The new maternity ward was one of the projects in the foundation’s Partners In Caring campaign and opened in 2011. Back in 1954, Charlene Jeanette Dick was born at 2:36 a.m. on September 2, one day after the hospital opened its doors to patients. Charlene became the seventh child for Mr. and Mrs. Walter Dick, who had relocated to White Rock the previous year. Four babies in total were born in the new hospital in its first week of operation, while three babies were born on September 2, 2014.

n September 4, 2014, Peace Arch Hospital held an Anniversary Tea for 100 invited guests in the community, many of whom were an integral part of the hospital’s development and early years. Mayor Wayne Baldwin was in attendance, having served on Peace Arch Hospital & Community Health Foundation’s board, and commended the community for its longstanding involvement and dedication to Peace Arch Hospital. “This is the hospital that shouldn’t have been,” Mayor Baldwin said. “This community made it happen and has stood behind it ever since.” Ellen Kennett, who was chair of the hospital board and the very first Foundation board, and served as president of the Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary Society for four years, shared the history of how the community rallied together to bring a hospital to White Rock, and introduced George Breaks, a member of the original team who built Peace Arch Hospital from the ground up. Vin Coyne, a former Peace Arch Hospital board member and City of White Rock council member, amused

the crowd with stories of the hospital’s legendary origins and early days. The event featured a display of photographs and records documenting the hospital’s long history along with a 60th Anniversary cake. ®
