142 officers now to be ordered over the next three years

Surrey set for 47 more police officers Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Surrey will be adding 47 more cops on top of the 95 additional officers already promised by the city over the next three years. The move – endorsed by the city’s police committee Tuesday afternoon – is based on two recent studies of Surrey RCMP services commissioned by the city this year. It will bring to 142 the number of police on

order for Surrey over the next three years. How those extra Mounties will be funded is yet to be determined. If the money was to come by way of taxes only, it would represent a property tax increase of 8.52 per cent, or $128 on the average home worth $640,000. Black Press first revealed in August that the number of general-duty officers on any given shift in Surrey is about 36. The news prompted an angry reaction from the public

that insisted the city hire more police officers to patrol the streets. Most mayoral platforms are now calling for marked increases in the number of police. The ruling civic party, Surrey First, initially called for an additional 95 officers within the next three years. Now, the Mounties are requesting an extra 47 officers on top of that, based on the results of the two reports, which also talked about the number of

general-duty officers on the street and their response times. The first item in Dr. Irwin Cohen’s report on the Surrey RCMP is titled “Additional Members Are Required for General Duty.” Cohen, a professor of criminology for the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV), was commissioned by the city to look at policing earlier this year. i see page 4

White Rock ‘no place for big buses’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

If it was up to Coun. Louise Hutchinson, a plan to upgrade the uptown Johnston Road corridor would include removing full-size transit buses from all White Rock streets. “My goal one day is not to have the 351s here at all,” Hutchinson said last week, at an Oct. 9 meeting of the Johnston Road Reconstruction and Beautification Task Force. “We don’t need great, big, long buses in White Rock.” Hutchinson, who is not running for re-election, made the comment amid discussion of the latest concept plan for the two-block stretch of Johnston Road – between North Bluff Road and Thrift Avenue – which includes a bus stop immediately south of North Bluff, abutting the entrance to Central Plaza. The location, often congested, is “bad,” Hutchinson said, suggesting the stop be moved further south. But merchants – who have been vocal in their opposition of engineers’ calls to eliminate a left-turn lane into Central Plaza for northbound traffic and shifting the

Coun. Louise Hutchinson says buses like the 351 are too big for city streets, but uptown merchants say moving them away would be ‘bad for business.’ crosswalk connecting to the mall south – described the suggestion as “another thing against business.” “When you moved the (bus loop)… off North Bluff, it was a huge impact on my business,” said Shelly O’Brien, owner of Pelican Rouge Coffee Co. Task-force chair Coun. Al Campbell said at the time of that move, about three years ago, plans were in the works to redevelop Semiahmoo Shopping Centre “to be a Metrotown.” If that had gone ahead, “we wouldn’t be having this (discussion),” he said. Answering a question about the possibility of re-directing buses

through the Central Plaza parking lot, city manager Dan Bottrill said a similar proposal for the Centre for Active Living fell through due to lack of maneuverability. The meeting also covered findings of an independent arborist hired for a second opinion on mature trees that line the thoroughfare – a move promised by the mayor at the last public meeting on July 16. Campbell – who earlier described the mayor’s promise as “almost a slap in the face” to the city’s arborist – told Peace Arch News Tuesday that the $3,100 report gave the task force little additional information. City engineer Bob Ambardar told

task-force members that Bill Wilde of Arbor Vitae Tree Consultants recommended removing about 17 of 32 trees – all but one between North Bluff Road and Russell Avenue. He was “a little more aggressive than we first were, in terms of saving trees,” Ambardar said. According to the report, the majority of the trees were not planted correctly; 28 have root defects; a dozen more require further inspection and analysis. Ambardar said a 40-page trafficsafety report supports eliminating the northbound left-turn lane into Central Plaza and shifting the mid-

block crosswalk south. The intersection of North Bluff and Johnston is “the worst one” for accidents in White Rock, Ambardar said, noting 40 crashes have occurred over the past three years. Landscape architect Daryl Tyacke of ETA Landscape Architects told the task force he can offer an unbiased take on things. “This is really your gateway into the community. It really should be spectacular and it really can be,” he said. Campbell told PAN he expects the next draft of the concept plan will be ready for public consumption in the new year.

...and franklyy

provincial polls proved to be in 2013 – for the simple reason that most people who are polled do not vote. This is particularly true in Surrey, which has a young population. Many young people pay little attention to municipal elections. They may be aware of some of the issues, but usually do not get out to the polls to vote. Considering that Surrey has more than 320,000 eligible voters, and it is unlikely that more than 30 to 35 per cent of them will vote, it is very hard for both pollsters and politicians to reach those who actually will go and vote. The race for mayor will certainly increase the level of i nterest in the election and boost turnout, but it would be amazing indeed if the modern era high water mark of 43 per cent, reached in 1980, will be achieved. There is also a challenging battle for council, with 36 candidates. In addition to the three slates, a fourth group of two candidates, former MLA Brenda Locke and Stephen Gammer, have formed Team Surrey. Of the 36, 21 are with slates, and 15 are independents. Among them are two former federal candidates, Cliff Blair and Jim McMurtry. In White Rock, Mayor Wayne Baldwin is seeking a second term, and is challenged by David Bradshaw. There are 17 candidates for the six council seats, including former councillors Cliff Annable, Lynne Sinclair and Margaret Woods. It will be an interesting month, leading up to election day on Nov. 15. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

Surrey trustees warn of cost-cutting

Sliding door smashed

Children’s futures at risk: board

Women escape intruder

Sheila Reynolds Black Press

By the year 2016, provincial revenues are projected to more than double from 2001-2002. But while health spending is expected to rise 80 per cent during the same time period, money spent on education is set to increase only 11 per cent. And that, says the Surrey Board of Education, is a big problem. The board outlined its concerns in a letter to the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services, saying the government’s “commitment to fis-

cal discipline cannot come at the expense of children’s futures.” Ballooning costs over many years have outpaced dollars coming from Victoria, say trustees, resulting in continual cuts to services that support children’s learning. “If boards of education are to be successful in their goals, they must be able to rely on adequate and sustainable funding,” board chairperson Shawn Wilson said. “We know that an investment now will ensure a bright future for our children.” The board cites cost increases

that are out of its control, such as hydro and employee benefits, which have consistently increased and haven’t been covered by subsequent increases in provincial funding. As the board has pointed out to Victoria in the past, the growing district faces additional extra costs because building schools has not kept pace with the number of new students, leaving 6,000 kids in portables. The number of portables has increased 41 per cent in the past 12 years, costing Surrey an extra $4.3 million each year –

money that would pay for about 50 extra teachers, the district says. “These teaching positions could be of extraordinary help in dealing with class size and composition,” said Wilson. The Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services holds provincewide consultations each fall in preparation for the next provincial budget. Visit www.leg.bc.ca/cmt/finance/ budget-consultations.asp for more information or to make a submission. The deadline is Friday (Oct. 17).

Plans for the facility – which is to include a 50-m lap pool, leisure pool and dive tower – were announced in 2011, with estimated cost of the project pegged at $51.9 million.

Late request concerns civic leaders Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

An after-the-fact permit request for a patioroof structure built without city knowledge has received mixed reviews from council members. The group, meeting as the land-use and planning committee, was asked Sept. 29 to consider a development-variance permit application for 15615 Moffat Lane, where owners added a cover to their patio in the months following the August 2013 completion of the new home’s construction. The issue came to the city’s attention after a neighbour complained. Investigating, staff determined the structure did not meet frontand side-yard setbacks as required in the zoning bylaw. In explaining staff support for the development-variance permit – which seeks to reduce the front-yard setback to 2.3 metres from 7.5m – director of development services Karen Cooper told the committee that council had, in June 2013, approved a similar, late request for a home at 15605 Moffat Lane, immediately west of the one in question. In discussing the latest application, Mayor Wayne Baldwin noted the builder is the same

A patio cover is the topic of much discussion. in both cases, and said he had “some misgivings” with the request. “Council agreed to (the earlier request), but of course there was nobody to the east to disagree,” he said. “In this case now, we have the same incident. They’re coming after the fact for approval. “I don’t think this one is quite so open and shut.” Baldwin suggested the city try to get the two neighbours talking, to figure out what works best and “achieve some kind of middle ground.” When Coun. Helen Fathers expressed concern that could set the stage for the city to be

dragged into “all kinds of disputes,” Cooper assured that staff could do nothing more than suggest the two sides talk. In an April 2014 letter to council, homeowner Bhupinder Pandher explains the cover was built due to safety concerns associated with people throwing refuse and other objects into the yard. Pandher identifies beer bottles, beers cans and even street signs as among items that have been thrown from the hillside above. “I ask that you accept my apology for not making this application prior to installing the deck cover, but I was not aware at the time this was necessary,” Pandher writes. Coun. Al Campbell, noting the unique siting of the property – fronting Semiahmoo Avenue but with an address on Moffat Lane due to access – was supportive of allowing the structure to remain. “This makes such sense here,” he said. “People on the steps were throwing projectiles.” Cooper noted Pandher has already agreed to remove the portion of the structure that encroaches into the side-yard setback. Last week council voted to have staff schedule a public meeting for Oct. 20 regarding the permit application.

Police responding to a report of a suspicious man on a South Surrey property Saturday afternoon arrived at the scene as a trio of women fled for safety out the front door of a home on the lot. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said Tuesday that investigation determined that the women – a mother and her two daughters, aged 21 and 17 – ran out as a man smashed through a sliding glass door at the back of a house in the 3900-block of 152 Street. Inside, police found a man holding a hammer and “bleeding heavily from cuts to his hands.” When he didn’t respond to police commands, he was hit with two bean-bag shotgun rounds, Paquet said, describing the tactic as a “less-lethal intervention.” “We deployed two bean-bag rounds, which worked in convincing the subject to get down on the floor.” According to the police report, the man was mumbling unintelligibly at the scene. He was transported to Peace Arch Hospital for treatment of his cuts, then to Surrey cells. Paquet said motive for the incident remains unclear. “There does not appear to be a connection between our suspect and the residents,” he said. “We’re still trying to figure out why he went to that residence. “If it is random, it’s definitely something we rarely see.” None of the women were injured in the incident, which occurred at approximately 4:30 p.m. Oct. 11. A 45-year-old Surrey man was to appear in court this week in connection with the incident, on charges of break-and-enter with intent and possession of a weapon.

Riverview-style facility touted Surrey may be home to a Riverview-style facility for people with mental illness and addictions, if one mayoral candidate has her way. Surrey First’s Linda Hepner is calling for such a psychiatric hospital to be built near Surrey Memorial Hospital, saying it would ease the pressure from police. “It would be of significant size, and Riverview is a perfect example,” Hepner said Wednesday. “There’s not a mayor in the Lower Mainland who doesn’t think (cities) have been disadvantaged since Riverview closed.” Riverview was located on 57 hectares of property in Coquitlam. Hepner could not say if there is provincial support for such a facility, nor could she say how much it would cost. “I know what the cost is of not doing something,” she said.

Marine search-and-rescue crews tow a power boat back to shore after rescuing its occupants Sunday.

Coast Guard aids vessel miles off Crescent Beach shore

Powerless boaters rescued A trio of Peninsula residents – including a teenaged boy – had to be rescued from the rough waters of Boundary Bay Sunday. A Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue (RCM-SAR5) crew was dispatched from their Crescent Beach base just before 7 p.m. Oct. 12, after a cellphone call for help was fielded by the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre. The caller said the boaters –

two young men and a 14-yearold boy – had been trying for three hours to paddle to shore after their 21-foot power boat broke down. They were fighting against a strong current, wind, fog, rain and fading light. According to RCM-SAR5 spokesman Andrew Newman, they did not have a VHF radio and were not dressed for the weather.

Without power, the vessel was adrift without any lights, he added. The rescue crew located the vessel at 7:40 p.m., close to its last-known position approximately three nautical miles south of Crescent Beach. They brought the occupants onto the Vigilant, and towed the power boat back to Crescent Beach Marina. – Tracy Holmes

Government needs to lead way on fitness

he federal Conservatives deserve credit for recognizing that childhood fitness is an issue and that sports activities are expensive. But let’s face it, the doubling of the tax credit for kids under 16 from $500 to $1,000 is just a drop in the bucket when it comes to getting kids active and fit. Now, parents can get back up to 15 per cent of their children’s registration or membership fees at tax time but it’s really just a gesture and an acknowledgement that the original $500 tax credit was far too low, especially if you have more than one child in more than one sport. What sweetens the pot slightly is that the maximum credit actually works as a refund of $150, meaning that families whose incomes are too low to benefit will get some help, although they have to spend a lot to benefit a little. Cynics will argue that the Tories are just buying votes – with voters’ own money – in advance of a federal election a year from now. But people’s memories aren’t that long and the refund or tax credit isn’t worth that much. What would make a difference would be a national fitness strategy to encourage families to make health and fitness a priority. Currently, this is left up to the cities to do, with some encouragement from provincial or regional health authorities and other non-profit agencies. What’s missing is a culture of active living because everybody is so strapped for time, people drive everywhere and sitting in front of a screen all day is seen as the mostproductive way of getting things done. Could a pan-national strategy address more issues over a long time-frame? Absolutely, and it’s not just kids who could benefit from incentives to employers and agencies to get everyone moving and being healthy. Canada needs more direct action to raise Canadians’ fitness IQ, and the federal government should be a leader in this.

be to drive our vehicles carefully and safely. When new laws were enacted a few years ago, many people ignored them, figuring if they got caught the fine was little more than “the price of doing business.” But now, the provincial government is cracking down, making it rather painful financially to be a repeat offender. The fine jumps from under $200 on a first offence to $634 on a second, and goes up from there. However, along with fines now come driver’s licence penalty points, which carry their own cost. Rack up 50 demerit points and ICBC will ding you $24,000. That’s enough to sideline, and send to cycling, even the most ardent cellphone-using driver. I agree completely that the dangers inherent in reading or sending texts and email while driving are unacceptable and should not be permitted. I also fully support the use of handsfree calling devices. There is absolutely no justifiable reason to take your eyes off the road or lose concentration while driving, particularly on the freeway or congested streets. It is, therefore, a bit of a conundrum to have a police officer whose job it is to enforce the law and hand over tickets to offenders, drive our streets and highways with a large computer screen glowing over his/her console, or see them holding a cellphone to their ear.

Online grades not objective

Inspirational community

Editor: Re: Surrey scrapes by with average grades, Oct. 9. The scorn heaped on Surrey for “scraping by” with just an average grade is highly misplaced. And that because the grade was based on a totally deceptive study; deceptive because the results came from a voluntary, Internet survey. As any experienced pollster will attest to, the absolutely worst procedure to get the overall view of a large number of people is a write-in poll. Those who have any negative feelings, or who have had any problems, are quite likely to take the opportunity to write in and grouse… voluntarily. The contented folks are likely to ignore the poll and traipse along with their lives. The outcome is automatically skewed towards the negative. Also, in B.C., about 25 per cent of the masses do not have access to the Internet, so the views of that group do not make it to the results column. I hereby award the City of Surrey a grade of two levels above “average”! David Poole, Surrey

Editor: There are times in everyone’s life when circumstances dictate that they must humble themselves and ask for assistance in overcoming what may seem to be an insurmountable challenge. That help came to fruition after weeks of organizing a fundraiser for my wife and love, Trudy, who has been tasked with conquering Stage 4 lung cancer. The event on Sept. 28 at the provided facilities of Five Corners Café and Five Corners Bistro was a celebration of positive hope, love and generosity. Trudy and I realized that even without any financial assistance raised that she is not alone, not without encouragement and fully supported in every step towards regaining a clean set of lungs capable of crying out “I love you all!” Hugs and kudos to everyone of the Honeywell clan, as well as Barb, Silvia, Kerry, Taylor and Laura for

many jobs done particularly well. It is said that “it takes a community to raise a child”; I say, to all the friends, family, acquaintances and strangers in attendance, “You are that White Rock community, as shown by your loving and nurturing actions.” On bended knees, we love and thank you, thank you, thank you. Rick Merrell, Surrey Q We would like to thank the City of White Rock and the board of directors of the Semiahmoo Volunteer Community Police Society for their invitation to the Red Serge Dinner and Auction on Oct. 2. My family and I would like to thank you for the tribute to Michael Lane by Mayor Wayne Baldwin of the City of White Rock and Staff Sgt. Major John Buis from the RCMP. We would also like to extend a debt of gratitude to our family, dear friends and many acquaintances for their love and support over these past few months. You have helped us pass each day, thankful for having Michael in our lives. Thank you all. Dianne Lane & family, White Rock Q

As a member of the Peninsula Art Tour Group, I would like to publicly thank CIBC Wood Gundy for their sponsorship of our recent art tour on Sept. 27 and 28. Because of their assistance, we were able to increase our advertising budget many times over. This resulted in one of the best tours ever for most artists. We had a very strong turnout and enjoyed meeting all the new people who came to our studios. A giant heartfelt thank you to CIBC Wood Gundy for their generous support for the arts! Connie Glover, Surrey Q My glowing letter of sincere and deeply felt appreciation goes to the pros manning the Peace Arch Hospital ER, their nurses, admitting physicians and all of the staff working on duty 24/7/365. I am a ‘repeat-offender,’ sort of, and have always been treated with the best of care and kindness. During recent months I have had to report in for help as a patient three times, if not four. Love you all, saying thank you and stating, “hope not to see you too soon.” Bless your hearts. Johan Sandstrom,White Rock

Don’t overpay for water Editor: In my opinion: 1. In White Rock, we need a leader who is prepared to tell the City of Edmonton – owners of Epcor – that they are no longer going to take advantage of the people of White Rock for such an essential service as our water supply. We will run it ourselves, thank you, without paying extra. They are not going to make a profit at our expense. 2. The Oxford reservoir site is zoned for public use only, and is not for development. 3. Development of the Oxford, or any other Epcor property in White Rock, is not available for negotiations related to White Rock taking over the water service. 4. We will only pay the current depreciated cost of the facilities with no future considerations, as we will still have to capitalize them ourselves in the near future. We will not pay double for future capital requirements. As an example, Epcor has determined that the Merklin reservoir has to be replaced, therefore it no longer has any value. The same goes for the # 5 well, which is to be abandoned. 5. The same is true for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe owned railway right-of-way, and its questionable assets such as the Little Campbell River Bridge, and the Nicomekl River swing-bridge. All of these have minimal asset value. Ken J. Jones, White Rock

Four rail-route options were presented by Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts at a public forum last November.

Looking beyond rail relocation Editor: Be very careful what you wish for. On the rare chance the railway would ever be moved to a more friendly neighbourhood, I very much doubt a stretch of expensive beach-front property would be turned into a coastal path or parking lots. Far more likely, this vacant property would be set aside for construction of sorely needed and revenue-generating hotels and high-end housing with private beachfronts. Then, when you have finally found an access to the beach, the only “sand” now available for the general public would be between the high and low watermarks. G. Reid, Surrey Q Re: Be careful what they wish for, Oct. 7 letters. Coal may not be a dirty word, but it’s dirty stuff. Historically important, it now causes increasing toxic

air pollution and adds its share to global warming. Trains are not a “great attraction for the waterfront”; they are a noisy disruption. People “stop what they’re doing” because they can’t move to or from the pier or continue conversations. Yes, a few trains a day are colourful for the kiddies and not much of a problem, but it’s no longer a “few” trains. If kiddies have asthma, or grandpa has emphysema, coal dust is a major hazard. Our sleep is disrupted by loud horns shattering the night. Re-routing through Sumas or some other alternative might be problematic, but perhaps White Rock/South Surrey could work to limit the increasingly numerous harmful substances trained through our seaside city. Letter-writer Howard Rogers’ rant about “environmentalists… smoking pot” is as offensive as his trains. Susan Lindenberger, White Rock

requiring lengthy hospital care, said Swallow, who added traffic analysts continue to work to determine the cause of the crash. Concerns have been raised over the stretch of provincial highway in the past. Following a spectacular, albeit non-fatal, crash there in July 2012, community activist and B.C. Green Party Transportation Critic Don Pitcairn wrote Victoria asking that concrete barriers be installed to prevent head-on crashes on the hill. Then-transportation minister Blair Lekstrom replied, saying Pitcairn’s recommendation was being reviewed. But the barriers were never installed. This week, Pitcairn blamed the deaths of Kehler and MacLean on the government’s inaction. “What a terrible waste of young lives that could have easily been prevented with a simple roadway upgrade,” said Pitcairn. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said because Highway 10 is a provincial roadway, Delta doesn’t have the jurisdiction to install barriers. She said Delta did correspond with the province two years ago and it appeared steps were being taken to improve the roadway.

First time festival has been held in the city

Diwali celebration comes to White Rock Alex Browne

Staff Reporter

lans are well in place for White Rock’s newest celebration, the Diwali Multicultural Festival of Lights, which will come to the West Beach waterfront, Saturday, Oct. 18 from noon to 8 p.m. Presented by the Sanatan Cultural Society of B.C. and the City of White Rock, ❝All cultures and it’s the creeds can enjoy first-ever this festival...❞ Canadian celebration Moti Bali of this committee chair magnitude of a festival that has been part of Indian culture since ancient times. Derived from the words ‘deep’ and ‘avali” – literally ‘light in a row’ – it celebrates the historic return of Lord Rama, his wife, Sita, and brother, Lakshmana, to the kingdom of Ayodhya, after a 14-year exile, killing the demon king Ravana. The lights of Diwali represent the row of oil lamps lit by the people of Ayodhya to greet Rama. But on a broader, multicultural level, Diwali celebrates the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil. “All cultures and creeds can enjoy this festival – hopefully this will become one of the biggest events in White Rock,” said Moti Bali, volunteer committee chair for the Sanatan society, at the Oct. 3 organizing meeting at White Rock Museum and Archives. The inaugural White Rock Diwali will feature multicultural live music on an outdoor stage near the white rock, traditional dances, ethnic food, a vendor marketplace, henna art and face-painting and fireworks at 8 p.m. And lights, of course – along with at least one life-sized decorative elephant near the stage that will likely provide a photo opportunity for participating families. Free parking will be provided at Semiahmoo First Nation’s parking lot on East Beach (15782 Marine Dr.) and a free trolley-bus shuttle

community on the Peninsula couldn’t create a festival to mark Diwali. “I talked to (Leisure Services director) Eric Stepura, and he was very helpful to us. He asked, ‘can we do this?’ and I said, ‘no problem.’ We got permission straight away and we got $7,000 in support from the City of White Rock, who endorsed us.” Bali said there were two major challenges to overcome to make the festival possible. “One is that parking is a problem. I talked to (SFN councillor) Joanne Charles about using the Semiahmoo First Nation parking lot on East Beach, which she agreed to, and then we asked Betina Albornoz of Tourism White Rock to help us get

the trolley shuttle. “The other problem is that we did not want to create any competition for cafés and restaurants on Marine Drive, which is why the food vendors are providing only free snacks, like pakoras.” White Rock BIA executive director Douglas Smith said it’s a natural for the organization to lend support to initiatives such as the Diwali Festival of Lights. “We want to maintain this – we want it to be a success,” he said. “I’m big on community building, and it’s all about creating a sense of place. “When things like this are going on in the community on a regular basis, you feel good about where you live.”

Fundraiser for children with Down syndrome Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

A Surrey mother is spearheading a crowd-funding campaign to support families with children who have Down syndrome. Theresa Preston began her Indiegogo campaign, called Changing Lives, in order to raise $60,000 for the Lower Mainland Down Syndrome Society’s initiatives. The non-profit society, which connects and supports families from all over the Lower Mainland – including a number from South Surrey and White Rock – is aiming to provide financial assistance to those struggling to pay for services needed for their specialneeds children.

For example, the Fleetwood resident explained, hiring a speech and language pathologist to work with a child with Down syndrome can cost up to $125 per hour. “Most of the kids will probably have to go once a week at least for speech therapy,” Preston said. “If our child is in elementary school, sometimes they are provided with a Band-Aid solution, and they are given a speech-therapy session for 20 minutes, but that’s not enough. “This kids need more than that.” Preston, whose 27-year-old daughter, Chantel, was diagnosed with Down syndrome, has been an active member of LMDSS since its inception in the late 1980s. “It was a rocky start,” Preston

Organizers appeal to Cloverdale business community for help

SALES

Santa Parade hinges on sponsorship Jennifer Lang Black Press

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the highlight of Cloverdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Santa Parade, but decorated big rigs wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be rolling down main street this Christmas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; unless local businesses once again help cover costs. An appeal for financial assistance for Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Santa Parade of Lights went out last week, urging Cloverdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business community to step up with $500 parade sponsorships or other forms of help. TheÂ annual evening parade winds its way though the historic town centre every December, drawing thousands of spectators. The event culminates with the arrival of Santa Claus, along with a dazzling lighted procession of big rig trucks from Vancouver Island and the Fraser Valley. Ferry transportation costs of the Island Equipment Owners Association have traditionally been borne by B.C. Ferries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have been forced to cut back and cannot assist again this year with any discounts,â&#x20AC;? the appeal says. The charitable discount ended last year, according to Paul Orazietti,

executive director of the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association, which co-sponsors the parade along with the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce. When sponsors were approached for $500 contributions in 2013, they readily answered the call, securing 12 big rigs for the parade. Additional traffic control and policing costs are another burden. Last year, city hall asked organizers to avoid the use of volunteers, resulting in an unanticipated budget shortfall. This year, the City of Surrey has provided the Cloverdale BIA and Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce with $6,000 funding for policing and traffic control, or about 75 per cent of the cost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would appreciate any help or potential sponsors that you may be able to direct us, to help put on this wonderful event which is highly attended,â&#x20AC;? the appeal states. The Parade of Lights also functions as a food drive for the Surrey Food Bank and Surrey Christmas Bureau. To find out more, call the BIA at 604-5763155 or 604-574-9802 to reach the Cloverdale Chamber.

Mediators mark resolution week Local mediators are marking Conflict Resolution week by releasing short videos until this weekend. The short videos released by White Rock mediator Wendy Lakusta and Tsawwassenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sharon Sutherland discuss how mediation works in different types of disputes, ranging from family and estates through small business, strata and workplace. For each topic, Lakusta and Sutherland invited a colleague who specializes in the area to join them.

The first video was released Monday. Today (Thursday) the video topic is business disputes, followed by estate planning (Friday) and workplace mediation (Saturday). The videos are hosted by CoRe Conflict Resolution Society and will be available at www.coreclinic. wordpress.com/ mediation-works/ Lakusta will be among speakers at White Rock Public Library Oct. 18, 10 a.m. to noon. There will also be a mediation information table Oct. 16, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Cloverdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Santa Parade of Lights is in need of sponsorship in order to be held again this year.

Six years ago Marco Chorbajian was lying in a bed at Surrey Memorial Hospital (SMH) and all he wanted to do was die. Three weeks earlier Chorbajian, a retired salesman and active senior who enjoyed playing and coaching tennis and chess was at home when suddenly felt very tired. He told his wife he was going to lay down and have a brief rest. When he woke up a short while later he decided to play a game of Suduko, a number-based puzzle, but realized he was unable to hold the pen in his right hand. His wife noticed something wasn’t right and took him immediately to SMH but by the time they arrived, he was unable to stand on his own or speak. “I felt like a deer in the headlights,” he said. “I was completely lost.” While in hospital he was given some unsettling news. He had suffered a massive stroke caused by a hemorrhage in his brain. Paralyzed on the right side of his body, Chorbajian, 70, felt trapped.

Marco Chorbajian survived a massive stroke caused by a brain hemorrhage. Soon after, his fiveyear-old grandson came for a visit, jumped up on him and said, “I love you grampa.” “That was the turning point for me,” Chorbajian said. A nurse had earlier given him the news he didn’t want to hear –

that he would never play tennis again. “She said you have no grip, no handeye co-ordination… nothing. Don’t get your hopes up.” “That really p----d me off,” he said, “I don’t like to take no for an answer.” Three months

Metro recycling rate hits 60 per cent Black Press

in Abbotsford for an estimated $70 a tonne, according to Metro, creating an incentive to

send garbage out of the region. The lost tipping fees are also beginning

to add up – they’re expected to total $11 million in lost revenue for Metro this year.

large sele

of ion

Metro Vancouver’s recycling rate climbed to 60 per cent in 2013, up from 58 per cent a year earlier, but it remains well short of a 70 per cent target the regional district is committed to reaching next year. The improvement last year came almost entirely from a four per cent increase in the single-family residential recycling rate, which Metro officials attribute to the move to mandatory organic food waste pickup for those homes and a decrease in the frequency of garbage pickup to just biweekly in Surrey and Vancouver. “We’ve achieved a lot but there’s still a long way to go,” Metro solid waste manager Paul Henderson said. Improved recycling of at least 70 per cent is a key assumption Metro has made in estimating it must build a new waste-to-energy plant capable of handling 370,000 tonnes per year of garbage that the region would no longer truck to the Cache Creek landfill. A higher aspirational target of 80 per cent diversion by 2020 would reduce but not eliminate the need for a potential second incinerator. Recycling diversion rates for multi-family residential and industrial/commercial were virtually unchanged, at 28 per cent and 39 per cent, respectively. Officials hope those categories improve next year. A broadened ban on the dumping of organics – which make up a big slice of the waste stream – takes effect Jan. 1, extending mandatory food waste pickup to major business generators such as restaurants, grocers and other food handlers. A ban on the disposal of clean wood is also going ahead, which would target the demolition and construction sector, where there’s already a high recycling rate of 76 per cent. Henderson said there may also be modest gains as a result of some additional types of containers now being collected curbside by Multi Material BC. As with other disposal bans imposed by Metro, the new ones will be policed by inspectors at transfer stations.

Inspectors will issue warnings at first, but by mid-2015 they’ll levy a 50 per cent surcharge on any load containing too much organic waste. The cost of fines is expected to spur waste haulers to in turn police their customers. The maximum proportion of organic waste in a load without incurring a surcharge will start at 25 per cent next year before dropping to 10 per cent in 2016 and five per cent in 2017. The phased approach is expected to target the biggest food-waste generators first and then gradually capture more businesses. A long list of materials are already banned, from paper and cardboard, to electronics and mattresses. But a Metro report warns all of the region’s disposal bans will “become ineffective” if the provincial government doesn’t approve Bylaw 280. The waste-flow bylaw would outlaw commercial haulers from sending garbage out of the region – usually first to Abbotsford and then south to U.S. landfills – thereby evading Metro’s higher tipping fees and its disposal bans. The bylaw was passed by Metro’s board a year ago and is still awaiting Environment Minister Mary Polak’s decision, amid intense lobbying from haulers who oppose it. Many critics claim the regulation aims to justify a new incinerator by penning up garbage in the region to feed it, but Metro officials insist the bylaw is essential or its waste servics will be underfunded and steady improvements in recycling will be unwound. Henderson has been warning for more than a year that an initial trickle of waste flowing out of the region threatens to turn into a flood. Metro now estimates 100,000 tonnes of garbage – about 20 per cent of all commercially collected waste – will exit the region via Abbotsford this year, twice as much as did in 2012. The regional district is expected to increase its tipping fee by $1 to $109 per tonne next year. In contrast, haulers can dump

Oil’s dive slow to bring relief at the pumps

Gas-price drop predicted Jeff Nagel Black Press

The deep dive in crude oil prices in recent weeks has so far been slow to trickle down into lower gasoline prices. But one petroleum industry expert predicts more relief from pain at the pumps is coming soon for Lower Mainland motorists. “You guys are on the verge of a pretty sizable drop in the retail price there,” said Jason Parent, the Ontariobased vice-president of consulting for MJ Ervin and Associates. He said the current average price of $1.30 per litre of regular gas in Metro Vancouver as of last week – down from a midsummer plateau of around $1.42 – should continue to drop to $1.25 or lower. Crude oil prices have fallen about 15 per cent from their July levels but the drop for retail gas has been barely eight per cent. “We’ve seen some of that passed on at the pump but not quite all of it yet,” Parent said.

Crude oil makes up only about half of the cost of a litre of gas, but he said the sharp decline, plus the typical seasonal drop in gas prices as summer driving season ends, should translate into more savings for drivers. “If you’ve got a sustained downward movement in crude prices – as we have – you will see that passed on for the most part, eventually.” TransLink’s diesel bus fuel costs may also drop with lower crude oil prices. Spokesperson Cheryl Ziola said it’s also possible lower gas prices will encourage more driving and result in TransLink collecting more fuel tax from the 17 cents a litre it levies, at least over the short term. But cheaper gas can also cut into transit ridership if more passengers take their cars instead. And Ziola cautioned trends of better fuel efficiency, slower growth in vehicle

ownership and people driving less are forecast to continue to push

down TransLink’s fuel tax revenue over the longer term.

Penalty points for distracted drivers Tom Fletcher Black Press

Talking on your cellphone or fiddling with a music player while driving will cost you three penalty points in addition to a $167 fine, effective Oct. 20. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced the additional penalties last week, making it the same as the penalty for texting and driving. Penalty points are also added for infractions such as watching a video or programming a GPS system. Anton said the B.C. government is also reviewing its fines and could increase them,

but not to the $1,000 fine Ontario drivers face for a first offence. Penalty points remain on a driving record for five years, and result in a $175 increase in insurance as soon as they exceed three points. At nine points, the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles considers licence suspension. Anton said there were 51,000 tickets issued last year for distracted driving of all kinds. Police can also issue tickets for driving without due care and attention to any driver who is noticeably distracted.

COOK FOR THE CURE

Use of charging stations doubles in B.C.

Electric-car usage on rise Jeff Nagel Black Press

More drivers are plugging into B.C.’s public electric vehicle charging stations, according to new statistics. BC Hydro subsidiary Powertech Labs says the usage of 350 charging stations it tracks has more than doubled in the last year. It recorded 3,745 charging sessions in August, up from 1,684 in the same month a year earlier. The data doesn’t cover all stations – another 200 locations aren’t tracked by Powertech. “From the individual station data so far, the busiest stations appear to be in high-traffic hubs, especially in urban and suburban malls and downtown shopping areas, including those in smaller towns,” said Jim Vanderwal, senior program manager at the

Fraser Basin Council. Vanderwal notes that there are many quieter stations on the network that only see one or two people plugging in each week, but that is to be expected at this early stage. He said there are now 1,300 electric cars on the road since the first one arrived in B.C. two years ago. “We expect all stations to see more use by business travellers, tourists and local residents over next few years as the EV (electric vehicle) market expands.” The Fraser Basin Council and Powertech Labs are participants in Plug in BC, a province-led initiative to lay the groundwork for electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The province helped public and private sector organizations buy

and install EV charging stations across B.C. for public or fleet use in 2012, and 550 Level 2 charging stations have been operational since mid-2013. While it’s difficult to predict the growth of electric vehicles in B.C., Vanderwal says B.C.’s position today is similar to Oregon’s in 2012, which has since seen a tripling of electric vehicles on the road thanks to a combination of charger availability, vehicle incentives and consumer interest. Vanderwal added the growing choice of places to charge up in B.C. is helping increase the comfort level of prospective buyers of electric vehicles. This summer also saw electric car maker Tesla open its first supercharger station in B.C. at a shopping centre in Squamish.

Marijuana production called a waste of good farmland

Cities concerned over pot bunkers Jeff Nagel Black Press

The province’s decision to allow heavily fortified medical marijuana production factories to be built on top of good agricultural farmland isn’t sitting well with municipal politicians. Several Lower Mainland cities wanted the new commercial pot producers that are being licenced by the federal government to be relegated to industrial land, arguing the high-security buildings would be a better fit there. Instead, the B.C. government decided over the summer they will be allowed to be built on farmland, including in the Agricultural Land Reserve. The main concession from the province is that they’ll be taxed at the industrial property

The province has decided to allow pot production on farmland. tax rate, not at the lower agricultural rate. Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese said one concern now is that cities will end up paying more for police to monitor sleepy agricultural roads for criminals that may be attracted to the new pot ventures. “We really need to ensure the safety of our residents,” he said. The province has tabled proposed guidelines for local municipalities to regulate the

new marijuana producers and has asked for comment on them. Froese said cities are now seeking the strongest possible protections. “We want to deal with things like setbacks, hedging and air quality,” he said. Richmond Coun. Harold Steves insists it’s senseless to waste “the best farmland in Canada” on highly fortified bunkers that could have been placed in industrial zones.

“This is not soil-based agriculture,” he told Metro Vancouver’s board meeting. “It’s not even greenhouse-type agriculture like you get in Delta and Richmond. It’s totally enclosed.” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan argued they will be “twice as bad as greenhouses” and will detract from the co-operative spirit of local agriculture. “If a marijuana operation becomes your next door neighbour, it’s certainly not going to be a very collegial relationship,” Corrigan said. “You’re not going to be borrowing each other’s tractors.” Some cities have sought legal opinions on whether they can ban marijuana producers from ALR land.

Surrey beats Ontario’s Ajax FC in championship game at South Surrey Athletic Park

United U18s win national title at home Rick Kupchuk Black Press

Surrey United’s Bavi Dhaliwal (left) battles with Quebec’s William Turcotte during a U18 national soccer game Thursday in South Surrey.

Taking advantage of playing near home, Surrey United defeated Ajax FC of Ontario 3-1 in the championship game of the Sport Chek U18 Cup Monday at South Surrey Athletic Park. The boys soccer team went 3-1-0 (wontied-lost) to finish atop their five-team group in pool play to qualify for the championship game. In Monday’s final, United captain Kyle Sohi fired a shot off an Ajax defender for a 1-0 lead at halftime. Sohi then assisted on a pair of second-half goals from Dilpreet Brar. Lucas Johnson was unbeatable in the Surrey goal, earning the shutout. Surrey began play with a 4-0 win Wednesday over Prince Edward Island, with Paul Atanassov scoring twice and Sohi and Amritpal Jagdeo adding one each. On Thursday, Sohi netted a pair with Atanassov finding the net once in a 3-1 victory over Quebec. Their third win came Friday, 2-1 over the Bonivital Soccer Club of Manitoba. Sohi and Bavi Dhaliwal were the goal-scorers. A scoreless tie with Alberta Saturday left United in first place, and after an off day Sunday, they played for the national championship. On the girls side, host Coastal FC lost just once in five games and earned a bronze medal. Coastal FC defeated Halifax Dunbrack 2-1 in the bronze-medal match, getting goals from Casandra Silveri and Danae Derksen. Their lone loss of the competition came on Wednesday, a 3-2 setback against the eventual national champion North Mississauga Panthers. Avneet Bhullar and Jenaya Robertson were the goal scorers for Coastal FC. Their second game was a 2-2 draw with Quebec on Thursday, with Derksen and Ashley Burgess getting the goals for the B.C. team. Emily Lieuwen scored twice and Burgess added one in a 3-0 win over the WinsloeCharlottetown Royals of Prince Edward Island on Friday. Needing to fill the net to win a tiebreaker and place second in their group, Coastal FC hammered Saskatchewan 11-0 Sunday. Silveri scored four times and Brooklyn Tidder and Derksen added two each. Singles came from Burgess, Robertson and Olivia Sheppard.

Two-game win streak snapped with Sunday loss

Eagles’ wings clipped by visiting Smokies Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Surrey Eagles’ modest win streak came to an end on the weekend, as the team dropped a 7-4 decision to the visiting Trail Smoke Eaters at South Surrey Arena Sunday evening. The loss was the first in three games for the Eagles, who had reeled off back-toback wins heading into the weekend, including a 3-2 overtime win over Salmon Arm last Wednesday. The two wins – coupled with a pair of overtime-loss points from the first two weekends of the BC Hockey League season – bumped Surrey up into the middle of the Mainland Division pack. With Sunday’s loss, they now sit fourth in the five-team bracket, with a record of 2-5-0-2 (win-losstie-overtime loss); they’re seven points shy of the firstplace Chilliwack Chiefs. Sunday, the Eagles seemed to be in line for a victory through the first two periods, with the home team holding a slim 4-3 lead through 40 minutes. Though Trail led 2-1 after the first period – Scott Davidson and Griffyn Martin scored for the Smokies, while Chase McMurphy replied for the Eagles – Surrey outscored Trail in the second frame. Surrey rookie Ben Vikich scored a pair of goals less than three minutes apart to give his squad the lead – a onegoal margin that held by the second intermission, even after Trail’s Jake Lucchini and Surrey’s

Sam Chatterley traded goals in the second half of the period. The third period, however, proved to be the Eagles’ undoing. Trail scored four unanswered markers to run away with the two points, capped by a short-handed empty-netter from Craig Martin with 1:22 left to play. McMurphy and Vikich each finished the game with three points, and rookie goaltender Daniel Davidson stopped 35 shots in net. Surrey has just one game on their weekend schedule – Sunday against the Coquitlam Express. The puck drops at 4 p.m. at South Surrey Arena. Surrey faced off against the Langley Rivermen Wednesday night at the Langley Events Centre, but the game was played after Peace Arch News’ press deadline.

Southridge senior boys soccer team excels at AA level

Storm roll to three victories Nick Greenizan

Active Living Month!

Sports Reporter

A move to the AA level hasn’t slowed down the Southridge Storm’s senior boys soccer team. Heading into the season, the team was set to play in its usual single-A league. But, as it turned out, this year, the school had too many male students in Grades 11 and 12 – two over the maximum of 80 allowed in order for the school to compete at the single-A level. But the adjustment to playing against larger schools in the AA tier hasn’t adversely affected the Storm – they still sat with a perfect 3-0 record last week, which was enough to secure them a playoff spot. Last week, Southridge began their win streak with a victory over previously undefeated Surrey Christian. Twice, the Storm battled back from deficits to tie the game, and Jacob Baxter tallied the winning marker late in the contest. The next day, Southridge hit the road, beating Sands Secondary 3-0 thanks to a twogoal effort from Matt Kennell. Landon Gill also scored for the visiting team. On Thursday, the Storm capped their week with a third win, 3-1 over Delview. Traven Blaney led the way with a pair of goals – one on a free

In addition to the many offensive performances worth highlighting, Southridge head coach Gordon Smith was also quick to praise the team’s defence, led by

Jason Coil, whom Smith called “the anchor for a stingy back line,” as well as Spencer Millard and Dom Clayton. Southridge has one more game remaining on their league schedule, against Burnsview, and Fraser Valley playoffs begin Oct. 28.

Furthermore, the 2015 Colorado’s configurations are available in an extended cab model with a 6-foot bed, a crew cab with a 5-foot bed and a crew cab with a 6-foot bed.

If you’re just hauling yourself, or a pair of jet skis around back, the GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado can do the job. And they do it very well. Pricing for the Chevrolet Colorado starts at an MSRP of $19,900 for the four-cylinder with the extended cab.

Popular Toyota Camry undergoes major update is a new screen between the speedo and tachometer for a quick reference of the radio, navigation or phone calls. These are all welcome. Drive Not just happy to make a more appealing looking car, the engineers also went about improving the ride, handling and noise inside the car. The track of the wheels has been widened and the lower end models also get wider wheels for improved feedback but the biggest change is to the steering feel. The Camry is equipped with electric power steering and these systems have been notorious for poor feedback to the driver. This new 2015 Camry is a big step forward. Straight-line stability has been improved and the car, with a more rigid platform and slightly stiffer springs and shocks, is now sending good feedback to the driver. Verdict What hasn’t been updated are the engine and transmission choices. The same 178hp 2.5L 4-cylinder with a 6-speed automatic does duty along with an optional 3.5L V6 putting out 268hp.

Making sense of the new fuel-consumption ratings By Bob McHugh

off, plug-in hybrid vehicles are becoming common and the pure electric vehicle is a reality. So, even the term “fuel consumption” may become obsolete sometime in the future.

Major technological changes are also happening in the fuel economy race. Smaller and more efficient gasoline engines are available, hybrid vehicle sales are taking

Right now, however, if you walk into a new car dealership showroom, you’ll probably find both 2014 and 2015 editions of the same model vehicle for sale, side-by-side.

If you don’t notice the asterisked note under the EnerGuide fuel consumption figure on the 2015, it’s easy to assume that it’s a less fuel efficient vehicle and that’s almost certainly not correct.

The 2015 EnerGuide fuel consumption figure is simply more realistic and closer to what you’re likely to experience during day-today driving in the real world.

Infiniti deserving of spotlight continued from page 45

and genuine Japanese Ash appliques greet the senses as one settles into the Q70’s driver’s seat. From the days of the storied Q45 sedan introduced in 1990 to today’s Q70 flagship, Infiniti cabins have always been top contenders in both quality and engineering. Infiniti emphasizes user-friendliness in the functionality of its technology and the layout of controls and switchgear, and such is the case in the new Q70. Yet there’s more tech here than ever before, and it’s largely designed to prevent collisions and protect occupants. Infiniti’s Safety Shield is the constellation of these programs. Highlighted among them is predictive

forward collision warning paired with intelligent brake assist. With a few quick seat and mirror adjustments, I was hurled into the thick of Manhattan traffic headed to the Holland Tunnel, which carries vehicles under the Hudson River on which Captain ‘Sully” Sullenberger safely landed his Airbus A320 after losing both engines due to multiple bird strikes. Far less stressful for me was the challenge of coping with Manhattan’s congested roads, which was made remarkably manageable by the Q70’s quiet cabin and its ability to blunt the incessant horn honking that is NYC. Main takeaways from our New Jersey jaunt and return to New York via Bear Mountain State Park focus on

the Q70’s underpinnings. The retuned suspension exploits the sweet spot between comfort and handling characteristics without generating suspension noise. In fact, the entire chassis feels unified and composed while delivering lively, engaging handling dynamics. Particularly worthy of praise is the Q70’s retuned steering, which delivers bright, clear messaging from street level. The 2015 Infiniti Q70 and Q70L truly deserve the Big Apple’s spotlight. Though pricing has yet to be finalized for the Canadian market, expect it to be highly competitive, especially when Infiniti’s Safety Shield technology and the use of all-wheel-drive are factored into the mix.

Stunning Japanese Ash brings elegance and class to the Q70’s leather-lined cabin for 2015

Quality and value at Morningstar’s Robertson Heights By Kerry Vital

Maple Ridge has welcomed Morningstar Homes with open arms, already making its newest single-family home project, Robertson Heights, a huge success after just a few weeks. “We recognized that today’s single-family home buyer is looking not only for quality and value, but innovation as well,” says Deborah Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar. “We’ve taken the time to do our homework,

researching ideas that are fresh and new and re-creating them in a home where affordability is key.” Ranging from 2,625 to 3,072 square feet including unfinished basements, the three- and four-bedroom homes include some pretty amazing features. Among them are vaulted ceilings, window seats and the gourmet kitchens that Morningstar is known for. “We always strive to offer our purchasers the best,” says Calahan. “In a market where many people consider single-

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

family home ownership out of reach, we’ve pleasantly surprised potential purchasers by providing not only an affordable home but one that is truly innovative with the bells and whistles you’d expect to see in a much larger home.” Morningstar held their grand opening of Robertson Heights in late September, and sold 21 homes in the first two weeks, making the neighbourhood one of the most successful yet. Calahan points out that the six furnished show homes give potential buyers the ability to look at all of their options before making the final decision on which home to buy. Robertson Heights is Morningstar’s second project in Maple Ridge. The first, The Summit at Grant Hill, is already over 50 per cent sold out after opening just two months ago. Homes at Robertson Heights start at $449,900 including GST. For more information, visit www.mstarhomes.com, call 604-380-4708 or stop by the sales office at 10455 Robertson Street, Maple Ridge, open daily except Friday between noon and 6 p.m.

Stunning views are just one of the beautiful features at Odessa Group’s Harrison Highlands. Recreation opportunities are just minutes away, and the homes offer excellent curb appeal due to their Craftsman architecture.

Homes without compromise at Harrison Highlands By Kerry Vital

At Odessa Group’s Harrison Highlands, buyers won’t have to compromise on what they’re looking for in a new home. “This is a place where people can live where they play,” says Heath Stone, managing partner at Odessa Group. “There is definitely a demand for these homes.” Harrison Highlands is just minutes from Harrison Lake, Mission, Agassiz and the Hemlock Valley Ski Resort, as well as several other opportunities for leisure and recreation. “Sandpiper Golf Club and salmon and

sturgeon fishing are only two minutes away!” says Stone. Harrison Highlands recently celebrated its grand opening weekend, and the response was tremendous. “This is the type of project that people have been waiting for,” Stone says. There are two distinct communities at Harrison Highlands: Woodside and Briarwood. The exclusive Briarwood homes are located in a gated area, though the home types are the same for both communities within the larger community of Harrison Highlands. There are a variety of available

floorplans, including ranchers, one-and-ahalf storey plans and two-storey homes, with two to four bedrooms. The master-on-main floorplans have been particularly popular, Stone says. Two-thirds of the homes at Harrison Highlands will include this feature. The Craftsman architecture offers excellent curb appeal, while the expansive interiors feature nine-foot vaulted ceilings and large windows to allow the natural light to flood the home. European-made high-quality laminate flooring is featured throughout the main level, while gourmet-quality kitchens include maple cabinetry and elegant countertops (quartz in the Briarwood homes and laminate in the Woodside homes). The ensuite bathrooms in the master suite include dual sinks for added convenience, a relaxing soaker tub and a separate shower with tile surround and a frameless glass door. Homes

at Woodside include heated floors in the ensuite, while the Briarwood homes have infloor heat in the master bedroom as well. The community includes homes with parking for recreational vehicles, landscaped parks and natural trails with amazing river and mountain views. “There’s always something to see here,” Stone says. “Just check out our views!” Future plans at Harrison Highlands include a neighbourhood commercial area for potential grocery stores, restaurants and other retail spaces. “This is a fantastic place to raise a family,” Stone says. Homes at Harrison Highlands start at $379,000, including GST. For more information, visit www.harrisonhighlands. ca or call toll-free 1-888-OUR-VIEW (6878439). The presentation centre is open Friday to Sunday between noon and 5 p.m. at 1524 Woodside Boulevard in Kent.

Frank went to be with the Lord on Oct 8th, 2014 at the age of 97. Frank was born June 17th, 1917 at Seaford, East Sussex, England. Predeceased by his grandson Sean Johnson. He is survived by wife Florence, the love of his live for 74 years, son Larry (Solvei), daughter Joy (Brian), grandchildren Lyle, Wayne, Brenda, great grandchildren Brittany, Liam (mother Michele), Mekenna, Alli and nieces and nephews. Frank moved his family from Vancouver to Prince George in 1960 to be Branch Manager of Guardian Ins. Co. and was a faithful member of St. Giles Presbyterian Church. In 1973 he and Florence moved to the White Rock area where he became Branch Manager of Credit Foncier. Frank and Florence were avid RV’ers and enjoyed travelling with the Clover Loafers. Frank was a faithful member of St. John’s Presbyterian Church where he was an active Elder for many years. He was a devoted member of Rotary and in 2012 received a certificate of Honorary Membership.

SHAW, Andrew Edmund October 30th, 1947 October 5th, 2014 It is with great sadness that we announce that, after a long and bravely fought battle with failing health, Andy passed away peacefully on Oct. 5, 2014. A beloved husband, devoted father, loving brother and loyal friend, Andy’s memory will be cherished by his wife of 37 years, Wanda, his two children, Paul and Tina, and his brothers, David and Michael and his Mother In-Law Eileen Munn. He was predeceased by his parents Jean and Edmund. Andy was born in Tiverton, Devon and was raised and schooled in England while assisting at the family’s department store. Always adventurous, he left home at just 17 to seek a career in Canada in 1964. With savvy business acumen, the young entrepreneur quickly found his niche selling high quality clear cedar, the world wide distributor known as Shawood Lumber. Always an avid sportsman, Andy had a passion for boats and auto racing and was a keen sports car enthusiast. He was also a rabid soccer, hockey and football fan who always enjoyed a friendly wager with his sports-loving chums. He will be sorely missed by his loving family and his many friends who cherished his loyalty and generosity. The family wishes to extend its heartfelt appreciation for all their love and support throughout his time of illness. A celebration of Andy’s life will take place on Saturday, Nov. 1, 2014 at 12 PM - 3PM at Hazelmere Golf Course, 18150 - 8th Avenue Surrey. Memorial donations in Andy’s memory may be made to CH.I.L.D.Foundation.
