Months of roadwork lengthened on 24 Avenue and 152 Street

Watermain leak extends traffic clog Alex Browne Staff Reporter

There’s bad news for drivers and business owners who have been enduring months of disruptions along 24 Avenue between 152 and 148 Streets during the installation of a replacement watermain. Work on the project, which also stretches along 152 Street between 20 and 24 Avenues, will likely continue for another two to four

weeks – following the discovery that the newly installed infrastructure was leaking – according to Scott Neuman, manager of construction for Surrey’s engineering department. “We suspect that it is a problem with the pipe material, as opposed to a workmanship or installation error,” he said, adding that the contractor, Hyland Excavating, has already located the leaks and completed multiple repairs to the pipe.

The original leaking pipe material has been sent for testing “to confirm whether or not it was manufactured as per specifications,” Neuman said. The good news, from a city perspective, is that the contractor is bearing the costs of repairs, and staff are working with Hyland to complete trench paving to a more permanent condition and secure a “lengthy” warranty, Neuman said.

At the same time, Neuman confirmed the current work means motorists haven’t seen the last of construction signs, equipment and flag people – which have stretched as far east along the busy thoroughfare as King George Boulevard. And, there’s another factor that could lead to frustration for drivers in the area, he acknowledged. i see page 4

Earthquake survivor reflects on death toll in Nepal

‘Why some people and not others?’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

One week after returning from earthquakedevastated Nepal, Kiah Ellis-Durity can’t help but wonder why – why it happened where it did and when it did, and how it is that she is among the survivors. “Going on this trip and realizing death is kind of random and you just kind of miss it or you don’t miss it,” she said Wednesday, reflecting on the experience from her perch in an Adirondack chair in her family’s South Surrey backyard.

“It could’ve been me. A lot of the families didn’t get out. Why some people and not some people?” Ellis-Durity, 18, was hours away from flying out of Katmandu when the 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck around noon on April 25. She had been in the country as a volunteer for about five weeks, teaching English and science to monks and nuns. In the weeks since, the death toll has surpassed 7,500. When the quake hit, the teen was walking along a street. She knew right away what was

happening; the gravity of just how bad it was came a bit later. She saw blood on the street, cracked roads, shattered windows and a taxi that had been crushed by a fallen utility pole. “I saw all these buildings that had fallen, with the police trying to pick up pieces of brick,” Ellis-Durity said. On an hour-long walk back to one of the monasteries she had stayed at, locals “told me a family of eight had died in the house I just passed.” i see page 4

Two White Rock councillors are taking issue with claims made by a third that city hall is a “hostile” environment. Couns. Grant Meyer and Lynne Sinclair responded with incredulity this week to comments made by Coun. Helen Fathers in recent Grant Meyer Peace Arch News articles, describing city hall as an “unpleasant” environment to work in and stating that city employees were “dreadfully unhappy.” “I’m quite Lynne Sinclair surprised to read that there’s hostility, and I think one has to question who’s creating hostility,” Sinclair told PAN Tuesday. “The things I’m reading about, without ever having had a phone call from Coun. Fathers, are surprising to say the least. i see page 4

Residents’ views cited by councillor

Vegetation clearing ‘to promote stability’ Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

Several White Rock residents were surprised to find crews removing trees and other vegetation on the waterfront this week, as part of a city-contracted project aimed at “maintaining slope stability.” Peace Arch News received several phone calls earlier this week from residents concerned about work taking place on the bluff. “I’m upset, to say the least,” said John Edwards, a Marine Drive resident who said he went to city hall for an explanation but still was not clear on why trees and other plants were being removed. A notice on the city’s website May 4 and signs along the railway fencing state that crews would be removing vegetation from the “White Rock pier to Johnston Street.” “The work will focus on maintaining slope stability, increasing line of sight and eradicating invasive species,” the notice states. White Rock Coun. David Chesney, however, said Wednesday that he was “shocked”

to see trees removed from the hillside, adding that improving residents’ waterfront views played a role in the decision. “Some people that have friends are getting their views improved dramatically, and that’s the sole reason these trees are coming down,” Chesney said, noting he plans on lodging a formal complaint with Burlington Northern Santa Fe next week. The city’s director of engineering and municipal services, Greg St. Louis, told PAN the work was part of a capital project presented to the public earlier this year. “It’s vegetation removal, mostly brush, and there are some non-protected trees there as well,” he said, noting the city was working with BNSF, which owns the land, and that some of the trees being removed are meant to improve the railway’s line of sight for the pier crossing. A BNSF spokesperson confirmed Wednesday that one specific tree “interferes with the safe operation of the railroad.” “What I’ve been told by the city is that they’re

Crews work on the Marine Drive hillside. not taking large trees out,” Gus Melonas said. “They’re controlling the vegetation, brush, shrubbery and smaller scrub-type trees.” The work will also focus on removal of invasive plants, such as blackberry bushes, which are a problem on the hillside, St. Louis said, noting such vegetation has shallow roots. “We’re going to replant with better plants that will help promote the stability and beautify the hillside,” St. Louis said, noting replanting should be finished by July. When asked if vegetation removal was

meant to improve the views for residents living on Marine Drive, St. Louis said, “I’m sure that was part of the decision, but the main driving force was slope stability.” However, Chesney, who was first elected last November, said it is “ridiculous” that the city would embark on such work – which was approved at a cost of $80,000 for 2015 – given the history of slides along the railway line. “The amount of slides we have on average every year, it’s only a matter of time before one of those trains goes off the tracks,” he said. “I don’t want to scare people, that’s not what I’m trying to do, I’m just saying the city should be erring on the side of safety, instead of simply trying to improve the view of a couple dozen of their friends.” Chesney has long opposed tree removal on the hump. In 2008, he climbed a tree in an attempt to stop crews from carrying out trimming efforts on the hillside. As a result of that protest by Chesney – along with Don Pitcairn and then-councillor James Coleridge – the work to trim trees was delayed 18 months.

Agreement with China

Cities become partners Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

The City of White Rock has agreed to enter a “friendly exchange relationship” with a city in China, after council voted to sign a letter of intent last week. According to a city staff report, Dongying – a city in the eastern Chinese province of Shandong – is seeking to establish a relationship with White Rock to “promote economic development, and advance science and technology, culture, tourism, sports, health care, education and other areas of mutual interest.” Seven delegates from Dongying are set to visit White Rock later this month; so far, White Rock has no plans to send any representatives to China, however, the report indicates that if such a visit was planned, the costs would have to be approved by council. Dongying is a city of more than two million people, situated in the northern part of the Shandong Province, neighboured by the Bohai Sea to the east and the north. It is home to China’s secondlargest oilfield, and is one of the world’s leading producers of rubber tires, with more tire factories than any other city in the world. Upon staff recommendation, council voted unanimously in favour of the mayor signing the letter of intent to establish the relationship, which will be valid for five years. According to the letter, upon expiration, the agreement may remain in force if neither side chooses to terminate it.

Endurance manufacturing manager Barry O’Rourke takes board of trade members on a tour of the South Surrey-based wind turbine factory.

Endurance Wind Power shows off its South Surrey plant during board-of-trade event

Whirlwind tour of Surrey businesses Alex Browne Staff Reporter

It may not sell its products in B.C., but South Surrey-based Endurance Wind Power is a worldwide success in the wind-to-energy business. It has built its business by designing, manufacturing and selling wind turbines to a viable market for smaller machines – as opposed to the immense larger utility turbines most people associate with wind power. The company got a rare opportunity to show off its plant operations May 1 for a group of 30 Surrey Board of Trade members, as part of the sixth annual Surrey Industry Tour. Busloads of SBOT members toured a total of 14 businesses, including Charcoal and Woodz/ Holiday Inn Express, ABC Recycling, Columbia Plastics, BC Plant Health Care in Cloverdale and Campbell Heights; as well as businesses in other Surrey neighbourhoods. “We call it ‘farm-wind’,” Endurance global marketing director Bill Bishop explained to the group. “Its energy generated in the same place as it’s used.” And he explained that the largest market for the company’s products – produced at the 24 Avenue

headquarters’ plant and also a factory near Birmingham in the U.K. – is, indeed, farmers. “They benefit in three ways; by generating their own power, through government feed-intariff (FIT) subsidies, and anything they don’t use they can sell to their local grid,” he said. Endurance has sold some 1,000 of its turbines worldwide (including the U.S. and Canada) and some 700 in the U.K. alone, Bishop said. Manufacturing manager Barry O’Rourke led SBOT members through Endurance’s “simple, lean and highly effective” assembly operation, geared to a prominently placed flow chart mapping the progress of units through each phase of production up to shipping. He noted that the tour coincided with the first week in production of a new product, the E 6460 – an upgrade from 50w to 85w of the company’s standard E 3120 turbine. Both O’Rourke and Bishop added that, rather than simply manufacturing others’ designs under contract, Endurance keeps its designers on-site and actively involved in the production process. Among design features pointed out by O’Rourke was a function that would turn

blades away from the wind under overload conditions – a feature unique to Endurance machines, he said. Bishop noted that some 50 of the Endurance machines in the U.K. are operated by the company itself, on leased land, for purposes of research and development. The U.K. factory produces larger, heaviergrade wind turbines, the company’s X-class, which generate 225w – but these are used in slower-wind applications, Bishop explained. The E-class, with shorter blades (standing some 50 metres high) are the safe standard for high-wind operations, he added. While there is a certain irony that all of Endurance’s products are exported outside B.C. – low hydro-power rates make it unfeasible to market the wind turbines here – the company has been garnering increasing attention locally through its successful business model and through events such as the SBOT tour. The company was also named business of the year for 2014 in the 15-plus-employee category at the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards in January.

City hoping to ‘accelerate’ paving i from page 1 The city had already planned to resurface the affected section of 24 Avenue – following the watermain installation – as part of its summer paving program. “We try to do that kind of work during the summer months when the weather is at its hottest and driest,” Neuman said.

Neuman said timing of the paving contractor’s work may depend on whether there is a quick answer on what caused the leak, and if temporary postinstallation paving work can be completed sooner. “We’re looking at having final testing within the next two to four weeks, but if that can be

done sooner, we may be able to accelerate the paving work.” Work on that stretch of 24 Avenue started in early December, while the actual installation of the watermain took 2½ months. The leak was discovered by Hyland when the watermain was first filled with water for standard pressure testing, he said.

Councillors defend their retweets i from page 1 “I’m not aware of any hostility on council, I think we work very well as a team.” Meyer said he is unaware of any problems among city employees, and that he felt Fathers’ descriptions were not accurate. “For me, it’s fine,” he said. “I’m not going to speak on behalf of staff. I’m kind of surprised that quote would go in there without something backing it up. It’s hearsay, really.” Fathers first alluded to what she said was “not a friendly environment” after she tabled a motion at the April 27 council meeting for staff to create a ‘whistleblower policy’ as a means of protecting staff and members of council. “I think the environment we’re in right now is a hostile environment,” Fathers said at the time. She reiterated those sentiments earlier this week, after disputing a statement made by Mayor Wayne Baldwin that Coun. David Chesney published privileged information on his website. Fathers also confirmed this week that she had secured personal legal counsel following “circumstances that arose” after she was the lone councillor to vote against the deputy-mayor rotation list on April 13.

Teen urges assistance for Nepal i from page 1 While so much of what happened doesn’t make sense to the teen, Ellis-Durity is clear on one thing: she has to help. A fundraiser is being planned – details to be announced once finalized – that will take advantage of matching funds being offered by the federal government through the Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund. She hopes friends and former Elgin Park Secondary classmates and teachers will pitch in, along with the

community as a whole. “Nepal needed a lot of help before the earthquake,” she said. At the same time, her own family is planning to do what they can to help the co-ordinator of the group Ellis-Durity had been working with. Named Gagan, the Nepalese man “was amazing,” in the wake of the earthquake, said EllisDurity. Not only did he get the teen out of the monastery and to the airport, he was the first to check that she had made it home

OK. She still doesn’t know if he found a cousin of his who was missing after the earthquake. Ellis-Durity said she’s not sure if she’s a different person as a result of her experience, but there are things that have changed. “I’m viewing things differently. Putting things into perspective.” And though, at times, she still feels as though the shaking hasn’t stopped, she doesn’t regret her decision to travel to Nepal. “I’m glad I went… you can’t take that experience back.”

Cost-cutting move comes amid ‘challenging’ economics

Coal terminal to load ships Jeff Nagel Black Press

Falling coal prices have spurred Fraser Surrey Docks to amend its proposal for a coal-export terminal to load directly onto ships in the Fraser River rather than barges that would have required an extra handling step.

Nepal quake a timely reminder

he horrific earthquake in Nepal has prompted a wave of generosity from Canadians – including right here on the Semiahmoo Peninsula – which is very heartening. For the next month, the federal government has promised to double contributions made to Canadian-registered relief agencies that are working to help people who have been displaced by the earthquake, which took place on April 25. It is a good incentive to give generously, and earthquake survivor, 18-year-old Kiah Ellis-Durity, along with White Rock business DesLauriers Chiropractic, are among those planning to take full advantage. Here in B.C., there are lessons we can learn from Nepal. While there are vast differences in building standards between Nepal and B.C., it is important to point out how dangerous multistorey buildings can be when a quake strikes. While newer buildings in B.C. are built to withstand strong earthquakes, older ones are not. Knowing exactly what to do is important, but perhaps equally as important is knowing what would likely happen to the building you live or work in, should a powerful earthquake strike. We will have a strong earthquake here at some time. The fault lines, as in Nepal, are nearby. There are almost constant earthquakes up and down the west coast of North America, and while most are very small and cause little damage, there will be a big one eventually. Roads, airports, rail lines and other transportation arteries can suffer severe damage in earthquakes. That can mean help will be a long time in arriving. It is important to have a supply of water, medical supplies, food to eat and plans for shelter, because it is possible that you will be cut off from assistance for days. Also important is a means of communication. While the cellphone network in Nepal seems to be holding up, there have at times been difficulties in communication. Having a landline telephone as a backup isn’t a bad idea here, where landlines are easily available. Access to information is also important. If the power is out, how will your computer or cellphone be charged? Do you have access to a battery-powered radio and flashlights? Most of the issues that keep people safe in earthquakes aren’t big ones – but they do require thinking ahead. The Nepal earthquake is a good reminder of that.

Nearly all women now work because we have to; households rely on us financially and many have careers we love. We end up with significant challenges to balance the pressures of work while our bodies go through incredible changes with tiredness, nausea and swelling. And that’s if the pregnancy goes well! Yes, we make the choice to have a baby, but it doesn’t make it easy. Then there’s the issue of clothing. Pregnant women need an entirely new wardrobe. But who can afford all these new clothes? So we try to get by on stretchy clothes we already own, like Lululemon pants and tops. When it comes to maternity leave, we are lucky to have a full year. But this isn’t a vacation. It allows a mom to be with her baby during a fragile time. Why would we want to limit this? And force these precious little beings into the care of others? Depending on financial ability, this care may be less than ideal. So, to the people who feel it’s necessary to complain about a pregnant woman’s appearance, please don’t. Try to be more compassionate. Plus, it’s just a belly and there’s a baby inside! Keep this in mind this Mother’s Day as you celebrate all the things mothers contribute in their homes and in the workplace.

Peace Arch News

Neighbours feel helpless Editor: This week, after months of talking with the Surrey planning department, my neighbours and I got a notice that the proposed daycare application for the end of our cul-de-sac was going to public hearing against the wishes of the department and neighbours, because Surrey council said they had not received any complaints. No, the neighbours were sending all of the complaints to the planning department! We were told to send the planning department our thoughts; for some reason we thought that is where we should be sending the complaints. There was no mention that when the planning department told the council that the neighbours did not support the proposal, the council would ignore it because the letters were not sent directly to council. For some reason, council wants this business, which has at least one other 45-unit daycare in Surrey, to expand the eight-unit daycare they have at the end of our small cul-de-sac. The council plans to create a new zoning for the property so this company can expand. I wonder how many other people in Surrey could purchase a six-unit daycare, get it upgraded to eight, days after it was purchased, then a year or so later ask to have it increased to 25 units – and when that was not approved, get council support for a 16-unit at the end of a cul-de-sac where the city says there should be none! I understand from the owner that they are renting commercial space for their 45-unit daycare, and that having their own daycare in a residential area would be a lot cheaper, so it is a good business move. As there is no parking at the end of a cul-de-sac, I see why the neighbours do not want it; driveways will be blocked, there will be accidents and children will be hurt. I feel sorry for the planning department, when the council tells them, ‘we do not care what you say or what the rules/guidelines are, just change things so this business gets what he wants.’ Wayne Wagstaff, Surrey Q Surrey’s tree bylaw has failed Ocean Park residents. In just two days, three 100-footplus healthy, heritage cedar trees have been felled so another ‘house flipper’ can maximize the house size of his lot and flip his property with no thought of the current residents, neighbourhood or wildlife, and the City of Surrey sanctions this. It is a crying shame that big, ugly houses take precedence over large trees, wildlife and the very neighbours that live there. Why do they have all the rights and we have none? I had tried for weeks to get someone’s attention to save two of the three cedars, but to no avail. It brought tears to my eyes to see them all come down – as we had been tricked into thinking one would be saved as it stood behind an orange fence for weeks in the

corner of the lot. Do not tell me trees have to be removed to build; that is not true, as most of these homes were built around the surrounding forests. I did not move here for big open sky, I moved here for forests and big trees. And now that is being taken away at an alarming rate because the bylaws allow large houses on small lots. This has to stop. Ocean Park is a

As Ocean Park residents, we have to protect what we value in our neighbourhoods, and for me that means big trees and green spaces.

Letter writers respond critically to White Rock council’s in-camera decision to ‘censure’ Coun. David Chesney.

Councillor stripped of his rights Editor: Re: Chesney censured over ‘defamation’, April 29. Just when I thought nothing else that happens in White Rock could surprise me, I am shocked to read that Coun. David Chesney has been ‘convicted’ of the defamation of a fellow councillor due to an online-newspaper article that Chesney did not write, but apparently published. The ‘conviction’ was rendered on March 23, at one of those regular in-camera closed-to-the-public meetings that council routinely relies upon to do city business. Was this decision the end result of what some might describe to be the travails of a secret kangaroo court? It is difficult to decide, as the city chose to exclude the public from proceedings. We do know that Chesney had to personally pay for his own legal expenses, whereas the councillor who felt defamed relied on a lawyer provided for by the city. How fair is that? If an individual believes that they have been defamed, is it not that individual’s responsibility to look after their own legal costs? Why have any public funds been spent trying to secretly adjudicate “in-house” what appears to be a tiff between two elected politicians that, if well founded, ought to be handled in the court? The act of “censure” by council is itself a narrow and specific penalty detailed in White Rock Bylaw No. 1860. It “may be used only to express council’s indignation with a council member’s conduct regarding council business.” For me, the connection between the “crime” and the “penalty” has yet to be made. Worse yet, council has assessed an outrageously severe and vindictive penalty, one not contemplated by the bylaw. By stripping Chesney of his rights and responsibilities as an elected councillor to serve as deputy-mayor and on committees, those that voted for Chesney have been effectively disentitled and disenfranchised. Unfortunately, unfairness appears to reign supreme. Dennis Lypka, White Rock Q I was disappointed that the majority of White Rock council voted to censure Coun. David Chesney. I read the online article in the White Rock Sun that was supposedly defamatory. I also read a number of other articles written by the same author and I wish Peace Arch News and other community newspapers had journalists who investigated and challenged issues the way he does.

I understand that “likely defamation” refers to how a particular councillor was described in the article. If the portion of the comments considered defamatory were removed within a week, why did the mayor and the council proceed with the censure? Was this an attempt by the mayor to censor rather than censure? Was the council reacting to the criticism that its Railway Task Force is totally ineffective and that the chair of the task force be replaced? Is this how future criticism will be threatened – by threats of defamation? Aroon Shah, White Rock

Communication breakdown Re: Political fallout, May 1 letters. I feel compelled to answer Regan Ross’ letter. I was one of the organizers of the March 23 rally (Condo residents trash city’s decision, March 24). I am not an unsuccessful candidate or a supporter of a candidate. Neither am I a conspiracy theorist. I am a Canadian residing in White Rock and, as such, it is my duty in this democracy to inform any politician of my displeasure of their actions when I disagree with those actions. I have never spread misinformation or innuendos; all my comments have been truthful. It is the mayor and council that have a problem with information. I refer to the April 1 meeting at which Mayor Wayne Baldwin is quoted as saying “we did not do a great job of communicating this. It could have been a lot better, and we would like to rectify this situation,” (City of White Rock gets an earful over trash plans, April 8). I would never have got involved in the wastecollection controversy if city officials had honestly answered my initial questions. But when answers are not forthcoming, I am impelled to take further action. As far as mayor and council’s great plans listed by Ross, I would really like to have them initiate some of these ideas. I just wish this council would abide by the city’s corporate values and take seriously the stewardship role the electors have bestowed on them, and communicate why they are doing what they are doing so that transparency of decision making is maximized. I am not being petty or negative. I expect leadership from politicians along with open and honest governance, not decision-making behind-closed-doors. Ian Routledge, White Rock

tapped as a possible solution. The docks are not fully utilized and would welcome the business. While about 45 jobs would be created by handling coal, it seems this is a sunset business. China is set to start using a great deal more natural gas. Some will come from Russia, and some may come from B.C. and west coast states with LNG plants. If coal prices stay low, it may not even be economic to ship coal to China, which produces a great deal of coal already. It is also possible that China may discover more natural gas itself. New drilling techniques have led to an abundance of natural gas and nowhere near enough markets for it all. That’s why the B.C. government is investing so much of its time and energy to trying to attract large companies to build LNG plants here. There are a number of court cases surrounding the Fraser Surrey Docks coal proposal already. They will delay any final decision. Nonetheless, it seems there are many more likely users of the docks’ services that will add business in a long-term sustainable manner. It will be interesting to see where this proposal finally ends up. Frank Bucholtz writes Fridays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

South Surrey man on long road to recovery after surgery to remove esophagus

Sharing cancer journey to help others Melissa Smalley

Staff Reporter

or years, Jim Boerma suffered from indigestion and acid reflux. The South Surrey resident treated the painful symptoms with over-the-counter medication, never thinking it could be anything serious. That all changed late last fall, when Boerma, 51, was diagnosed with advanced esophageal cancer. In March, he underwent an esophagectomy â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â a seven-hourlong procedure performed at Surrey Memorial Hospital that resulted in his esophagus being removed completely. Boerma is now recovering at home with support of his wife, Veronica Moreno-Boerma, and their two young children, Sofia, 8, and Lucien, 4.

Participants in the White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society’s Hike for Hospice were treated to sunny skies Sunday, as they raised more than $30,000 at the 13th annual fundraising event.

More than 150 took part in annual Crescent Beach walk

$30,000 raised for hospice Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

More than 150 participants took to Crescent Beach Sunday to take part in the Hike for Hospice, an event organizers described as an “epic success in so many ways.” The 13th annual hike, which saw participants walk one, three or five kilometres around Crescent Beach and Blackie Spit, raised more than $30,000 for the White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society. Mother Nature co-operated in a big way this year, after last year’s participants were drenched

in rain. “It was a sunny day, and our MC, Mark Madryga, really delivered on that,” Theresa Robson, community fund development co-ordinator said. “Last year was so rainy – our supporters were treated to beautiful weather this year.” Sunday’s hike raised almost $10,000 more than last year’s, and will be a huge help for the society’s many programs, Robson said. Palliative programs, including counselling and one-on-one support will benefit, Robson said,

Additionally, the society’s griefsupport programs – including children’s grief day camps and teen training, adult grief, bereavement walking group and relaxation groups – will also receive a boost from Sunday’s event.

Upcoming sale marks 25 years for South Surrey group

Milestone for garden club

Is it time to Celebrate Mother’s Day in Style?

50% off all Sterling Silver 25% off

Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

It has been a busy spring for members of the South Surrey Garden Club, who are preparing for their annual plant sale and celebrating a milestone anniversary. This weekend’s plant and flower sale – set for Saturday at St. Mark’s Anglican Church – marks 25 years since the group’s first sale. Reta Gray, who has been a member of the club since that first plant sale in 1990, said the club has grown Reta Gray in leaps and Garden Club bounds over the years, currently with close to 400 members. One of the keys to the group’s success, she said, is the amount of fun members have at their monthly meetings and other events throughout the year. “The meetings are so much fun, and there’s always lots of laughter,” Gray told Peace Arch News. The club was started in the fall of 1988, by local Master Gardeners Hilma Doherty and Pat Lowther, who noticed a huge

Customers peruse items at last year’s garden club plant sale. demand in the community for accessible gardening information. Over the first year or so, the club met at a variety of locations, including the Crescent Beach Yacht Club, Elgin School, Beecher Place and finally St. Mark’s. In May 1990, the club held its first plant sale – an annual event on the Saturday before Mother’s Day – and since then, the group has blossomed. A current tally by pastpresident Susan Lazar pegs the membership at 366. “I think the reason we have so many members is that people love the meetings,” Lazar said.

“We have excellent speakers, we have some members doing show-and-tell and there’s always members offering tips.” In addition to monthly meetings and their popular plant sale, many club members are heavily involved in other gardening endeavours around the community. Some help out tending the four Food Bank vegetable gardens around town, and several members volunteer at Darts Hill Garden, acting as guides, weeders and propagators.

‘Wonderful place’ i from page 15 park – is an important landmark for members of the club. Fransisca Darts was an early member and big supporter of the club, and the group will include the garden in its anniversary celebrations this summer. The festivities – set for July 18 – will include an open garden tour during the day, with a picnic lunch in a member’s yard, followed by canapés, wine and music at Darts Hill in the evening. “It will be a wonderful way for the garden club to celebrate our 25th anniversary,” Lazar said. In the meantime, the group will be making sure their plants and flowers are in tip-top

shape for Saturday’s sale – “like a nursery presentation, without the nursery price,” Lazar said. Though the garden club has a great membership base already, Lazar said new members are always welcome. Meetings are held the fourth Wednesday of every month at 7 p.m. at St. Mark’s (12953 20 Ave.) – those interested can drop-in for $3 or pay the annual $20 membership fee. “For people who are just joining the club to learn about gardening, it’s just a really wonderful place for sharing,” Lazar said.

The sweetness of freedom The sweetness of freedom shouldn’t be taken for granted, It’s only when it’s lost that we truly understand it C-51 you say you strengthen our security You, yourself, endanger and threaten civil liberty Amongst other flaws you lack oversight authority Masters of your fate have a government majority They tell me that I will be stopping terrorism, They tell me that I will prevent extremism, They say that I will be preventing attacks And stopping threats in their tracks Stopping threats in their tracks Will you protect, our freedom of expression? Will you protect, innocents from detention? Can you prevent all the previous mistakes Of people suffering in rendition being tortured and detained? And people like Arar who suffered so much pain Will you protect our Charter Rights and Freedoms That we hold so near our heart that we cherish, maintain? Will you protect our rights to protest and picket To stand up for indigenous, enviro campaigns? The sweetness of freedom shouldn’t be taken for granted, It’s only when it’s lost that we truly understand it

hen writing this column, the vote on Bill C-51 – the Anti-Terrorism Act – was yet to occur but expected to pass. Since its introduction in January, we have seen protests across Canada against this legislation. Canadians from different regions and backgrounds voiced their concerns. Amongst its numerous criticisms, the issue of oversight has been prominent. Yet, there has not been enough constructive conversation on this matter. In fact, the time for the debate does not match the magnitude of the changes being brought in. Terror threats and dangers to national security should be addressed. However, this does not mean governments redefine the basic rights and freedoms that Canadians enjoy.

The fact that thousands of Canadians from coastto-coast – individuals who had previously served as Supreme Court Justices and prime ministers and experts in the legal field – opposed the legislation in some Japreet Lehal form or another should have sent a clear signal to our government that something was not right. Some amendments were made, but these do not fully address the many concerns. In fact, open letters have been issued by academics and former judicial and political leaders. As professors and researchers have emphasized, the legislation might not even properly achieve its very purpose. In an open letter, they say “Bill C-51 could actually be counter-productive in that it could easily get in the way of effective policing, intelligence-gathering and prosecutorial activity.” It is easy and convenient for the government to simply rewrite our laws, considering its legislative majority. However, it should consider the significance of the changes it is making. The legislation it is bringing in does not address the many concerns that have been brought to light in the short time span since it was first introduced.

Mount Olive Lutheran Church group efforts aid less fortunate

Quilts bound for North Africa Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Locally produced quilts will soon be on their way to refugee camps in North Africa. The Quilting Group at Mount Olive Lutheran Church in South Surrey has prepared another outstanding selection of colourful quilts – and other sewn and knitted items for humanitarian aid – and there’s still time to view a display of this year’s output at the church before it’s transported to Abbotsford on Monday and Tuesday.

That’s where the quilts and other goods will be bundled up for shipment to Mauritania, in Canadian Lutheran World Relief ’s annual ‘B.C. Baling Days’. The national organization has been helping the world’s poor and disenfranchised since 1946, through community development, refugee resettlement, emergency relief and aid shipments. The members of the Tuesday morning group, part of the church’s Evangelical Lutheran Women organization, are

contributing an impressive 120 quilts, 48 baby quilts, 68 baby layettes, 40 girls’ dresses and 240 rolls of bandages. “It’s something we all love to do,” said group co-ordinator Jeannette Aadland. “And it makes it all the better that our work can go to help other people – each year it goes to a different country.” The group will resume activities in September. Anyone interested in joining, or contributing by sewing at home, can call the church office, 604-536-8527.

It’s a topic that is often uncomfortable, sometimes controversial but always inevitable – death. Despite the unpleasant nature of the subject matter, an advocacy group on the Semiahmoo Peninsula is gathering to address dying – and specifically, doctor-assisted suicide – head on. The event comes on the heels of the Supreme Court of Canada’s February ruling that the legal ban on physicianassisted dying violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Hosted by the White Rock/ Surrey chapter of CARP (formerly Canadian Association of Retired Persons), Dying to Have a Conversation: Let’s Talk About End of Life Issues is set for June 17 at the White Rock Community Centre. According to April Lewis, CARP’s local communications director, the discussion is both timely and important. “We’re all going to die,” Lewis told Peace Arch News. “All CARP is saying is that we want you to have the conversation.” The June event will mark the second time the organization has initiated formal discussions on the topic of assisted death; the first forum, held in February 2014 attracted an overflow crowd of more than 100 attendees, with organizers forced to turn away dozens. It featured a panel of professionals from both sides of the assisted-suicide debate, and was described by Lewis as a “passionate and lively” discussion. “I was met with a lot of resistance from people saying ‘no, we don’t want to talk about it,’” Lewis said. “There was around 120 people, and there was some concern because of fire regulations, so that tells me that it’s an important conversation. I’m

CARP’s April Lewis moderates a forum discussing doctor-assisted suicide last February. The advocacy group is hosting another forum on the controversial topic in June. hoping this one will be full as well.” On the panel this time around will be Dr. Derryck Smith, from the Dying with Dignity Advisory Council, Dr. Bill Cavers outgoing president of Doctors of B.C. and Josh Paterson, executive director of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association. Lewis said she is especially excited about panelist Katherine Hammond, who is currently in the midst of a well-publicized court case with Fraser Health Authority regarding her mother, Margot Bentley. Bentley, a longtime nurse, has late-stage dementia and is in a semi-vegetative state. Despite a living will that Bentley wrote in 1991 stating she did not want to receive nourishment or liquids if there was no reasonable chance of recovery, the Fraser Healthrun care facility where she lives continues to spoon feed her against her family’s wishes. Last month, the B.C. Court of Appeal dismissed a bid from petitioners to let her die, after the B.C. Supreme Court ruled

in February that Bentley must continue to be fed. “You may not agree with what the daughter wants, but you can certainly empathize with her,” Lewis said. While Lewis admits she has a keen interest in end-of-life issues – she spent several years as a palliative social worker with Richmond Health Services – she said it’s a topic that many of her peers are also starting to embrace. “We baby boomers are the largest demographic in the Western world,” she explained. “We’re living longer and healthier lives, and we’re used to having things our way. We want the choice to die our way.” Above all, Lewis said she hopes the June 17 forum helps people to become more comfortable discussing end of life, in what she describes as a “deathdenying culture.” “In other parts of the world, birth and death are all part of the natural continuum,” she said. “This is a subject that’s not going away.”

South Surrey’s Rick Yaeger interviews celebrities in web series

Mother’s Day show

‘Random question’ strikes chord

Flamenco ‘isn’t just dancing’

Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

or affable online host Rick Yaeger, there are no wasted questions and no wasted answers. Yeager, creator of One Question Interviews (onequestioninterviews.com), has come up with a catchy talk-show format that – wonder of wonders – actually allows celebrities to discuss projects they need to talk about, while still allowing fans a sense that they’re getting to know their favourites on a friendly, down-to-earth level. It’s also a highly cost-effective project for the graphic designer and self-confessed “tech-junkie” – basically a series of split-screen Skype conversations (presented with reassuringly professional graphic and editing work) that allow Yaeger to work from his own South Surrey living room, and his interviewees to respond from wherever they happen to be comfortable.

Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Anyone who has seen a show presented by Jill Tunbridge’s Flamenco del Mar Spanish Dance Studio – or been one of her students – knows that Flamenco is a truly transcendent form. Tunbridge asserts that it’s a type of artistic creativity, and receptivity that, while most closely associated with Spain and southern Europe, is capable of crossing all national and ethnic boundaries. To be moved by the spirit underlying music and rhythm; to synthesize that emotion and express it through the physicality of dance – that, says Tunbridge, is the underlying feeling and motive of Flamenco. It also fits her own Pangaean sensibility that all authentic human culture comes, ultimately, from the same place – the human heart. For more than a decade, it’s what the artistic director and choreographer has been demonstrating with shows bringing together dancers from Surrey, White Rock, Delta, Langley and Aldergrove. More than simply celebrating Spanish dance technique, each event has also embraced forms as seemingly disparate as belly dance, tribal fusion, the blues and First Nations powwow dancing, the latter thanks to young studio member Zac Palomec’s emerging mastery of his own heritage. Palomec will continue a Flamenco del Mar tradition by opening the studio’s upcoming Spring Performance/Mother’s Day show at Ocean Park Community Hall, this Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. “Flamenco isn’t just dancing,” › see page 27

Grief-camp program to benefit from weekend fundraiser

Rock ‘n’ roll for a good cause Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Is there such a thing as good grief? While the loss of a loved one and a primary care-giver can be devastating, White Rock and South Surrey Hospice Society’s Good Grief Camps for Kids provide a nurturing, positive way to help children and teens coping with loss, change and the grieving process. And the fourth annual Good Grief Dance and Fundraiser – Saturday, May 9 at 8:30 p.m. at the Crescent Legion Branch 240 – promises local live music fans a good time dancing the night away to the high energy good time rock and roll of Big Backyard & Co. and The Ringtones, while contributing 100 per cent of ticket sales to the valuable program. It’s an event that’s gone from strength to strength since it was created four years ago by Hospice and Big Backyard & Co. founders Doug Holt and Gordon Brown.

Contributed photo

Ready to rock for a good cause are Big Backyard & Co., who will perform at a fundraiser for the hospice society May 9. Holt and Brown recall that they were a week and a half away from presenting a fundraising dance in support of local youth when the event unravelled due to a unionmanagement conflict. Ready to play, but minus a venue and cause, they turned to the Hospice Society’s thenexecutive director Catherine

Ferguson, who made them aware of the Good Grief camps – and thus the Good Grief Fundraiser Dance event was born. “It’s really interesting, the symbiotic relationship between the two groups – the charity and the bands,” Holt said in a news release. “The charity raises muchneeded funds and awareness,

and the bands get to play for a crowd,” he added, noting that the Legion also gets a full house and the audience gets a fun night out. Among the contributions to the event, said Holt, are “countless hours of rehearsal” by the bands, financial and inkind support from local business, and the waiving of all fees by both venue and sound engineers, which allows all proceeds from the event to go to Hospice. “It really highlights the sense of community and the spirit of giving back that is all around us,” he said. The event will also feature a door prize and raffle for a Raleigh bike as well as a 50/50 draw. The Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240 is located at 2643 128 St. Tickets ($15, cash or cheque only) are available at the Legion, through White Rock and South Surrey Hospice, or can be reserved by calling Holt at 604-787-1575.

‘Many shades’ showcased › from page 23 Tunbridge said, noting that Palomec will also add a display of martial arts to the program. Attending this year’s powwow at Earl Marriott Secondary was just a further confirmation of common ground, she added. “The rhythm is there and it’s so hypnotic,” she said. “I don’t think people fully understand what’s behind it. And it’s the same with Flamenco: there’s the same pulse. “It starts with the tapping of the feet, and people draw nearer to the fire, to the spirit. That’s why everyone is so happy to be at Ocean Park Community Hall – the wooden floor makes it feel like home.” There has to be a personal-stake investment, Tunbridge said, and that’s why she’s also very happy on Mother’s Day weekend to be presenting a studio mother, Diana Perry, dancing to an original song that Tunbridge’s brother David wrote: Silver Street.

Holden Walker among country’s best BMX racers

South Surrey girls rugby teams on a roll

Ticket to ride

‘We could really be a force’

Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

olden Walker has a tough time sitting still. Over the course of a half-hour, after-school chat at H.T. Thrift Elementary, the 10-year-old is up off a couch a few times; back and forth to the office once, and also spends a few minutes bouncing a large rubber exercise ball like a basketball. Outside the classroom, he is one of Canada’s top BMX racers in his age group, he plays basketball, tennis, is interested in rock-climbing and even parkour – the “free running” exercise in which participants run, jump and climb over obstacles. “He’s a bit of an adrenaline junkie,” admitted his mom, Maire, who teaches kindergarten at H.T. Thrift. “He’s an athlete – he Holden Walker never stops moving.” And while an endless BMX racer supply of energy is certainly not uncommon among 10-year-old boys, Holden is at least putting his to good use – on his bike especially. Heading into the upcoming BMX Canada racing season – which begins this Mother’s Day weekend at Chilliwack’s Heritage Park – Holden is ranked No. 3 in Canada. Down the road a few years, he’s eyeing the Olympics. “I think I can get there,” said Holden, whose home track is in Langley. “If things keep going how they’re going.” This past year of racing has posed numerous challenges, however. Financially, supporting Holden’s racing can be tough, Maire says. There are race fees to pay, bike repairs to make, and the travel is also costly – races are staged all over the province, and in order to keep his ranking, Holden needs to compete in as many as he can. “It’s been a hard year, for sure,” she said. “That can surprise people, because I’m a teacher and have a good job, but it’s still tough, now that we’re a one-income family, to make it work.” As well, Maire doesn’t drive, so they rely on public transit as much as they can.

Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

It’s shaping up to be a banner year for senior girls rugby on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. All three senior AAA teams – the Semiahmoo Totems, Earl Marriott Mariners and Elgin Park Orcas – have qualified for provincials, which are set for later this month. And while having a strong local presence in the B.C. championships isn’t rare – Elgin and Semi were there last year, and in the past, all three have qualified – what is rather noteworthy this time around is that all three sides are ranked inside the provincial top eight. Four teams from the Fraser Valley earn berths to provincials, and on Thursday afternoon – after Peace Arch News’ press deadline – the Totems squared off against Abbotsford’s Yale Lions for the Valley title, while Earl Marriott and Elgin Park played each other in a third/fourth-place game. “No matter what happens, we’re all in,” said Semiahmoo coach Frank Ellestad. “It’s pretty awesome.” While Ellestad chalked up teams’ successes this year to something of a coincidence – with all three schools peaking at the same time – longtime Elgin Park coach Johan Mynhardt also suggested South Surrey’s strong rugby culture played a role. “To be a good rugby player, you need four or five years experience – stars are not always born, they’re trained,” said Mynhardt, who has coached at Elgin Park since 1997. “And for all (three) schools, it starts at Grade 8, and we train them and nurture them along. And with the Bayside (club) rugby program, too, by the time they i see page 30

i from page 29 get to the senior level, they’re all very good.” Elgin Park finished second at provincials last season – losing in the finals to G.P. Vanier after a storybook run that saw the Orcas knock off the tournament’s two top seeds – and though they’ve lost six players off last year’s team, the younger players have stepped up to fill the void, Mynhardt said. “It’s worked out well so far,” he said. When it comes to the Totems’ success this season, Ellestad admits his squad is ahead of where he thought they’d be. The team has just one Grade 12 starter, and like Elgin Park, has relied on a talented group of younger players. “In all honesty, we’re about nine months ahead of where I expected us to be,” he said. Earl Marriott’s team, meanwhile, is enjoying a resurgence under the coaching of Melissa Seselja, a Semiahmoo alum who lists Ellestad as a key influence. “It’s really exciting to seee all three schools in the top eight,” she said. “It means that rugby is growing.” All three teams have helped sharpen each other’s skills, the coaches agreed. “We have all had some great games against each other this year, and I think it’s making us all better as a result,” Ellestad said. Mynhardt agreed, and predicted this run of success would be more than a one-year phenomenon – and would help women’s teams beyond the highschool level, too. “The quality of rugby here has really improved – especially in the last four years. I think in our area here, we could really be a force.” The senior girls’ AAA provincials are planned for Capilano University from May 21-23.

Open-water swimmer qualifies for worlds

South Surrey native Richard Weinberger has earned a beth at 2015 World Swimming Championships, after a strong finish at the FINA Open Water Swimming World Cup last weekend in Cozumel, Mexico. Weinberger – a long-distance swimmer who won a bronze medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics – placed 14th in the men’s 10-km swim in Cozumel, only 14 seconds back of the winner. “This was one of the most difficult openwater events I’ve been involved in,” said Weinberger, who now lives in Victoria.

done after five (innings) rather than seven.” Smithson chalked up the fielding miscues to inexperience – aside from Hill, the entire infield is new this season – as well as injuries, especially to Melenchuk, the team’s regular first baseman who has yet to play in the field this year. “There’s just adjustments that we have to make. A lot of our guys have come up (from the junior team) and it’s just a little bit quicker up here,” Smithson said. The only solution, he added, is to continue practising and working at it. “We’ll just keep smoking ground balls at ’em in practice,” he said. With 30 games left on the schedule, Smithson said now is the time for his team to start winning some series against their opponents each weekend. “Our goal right now is to win a series, take three out of four on a weekend, and go from there. We have to start winning some games,” he said. This weekend, the Tritons are at home for back-to-back doubleheaders. On Saturday, they host the Victoria Eagles – games are 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. at South Surrey Athletic Park – and Sunday, the Nanaimo Pirates are in town for two games, at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

Family grateful for help they’ve received from BMX community i from page 29 longer BMX trips, they often get rides with family, friends and other racers. At races, other riders have even lent Holden equipment – such as extra pedal clips – when his have broke. She and Holden are grateful for all the support they’ve received. “It’s a pretty cool community,” Maire said. Holden, Maire notes, is quick to give back – he is an avid volunteer at his Langley BMX track and can often be found there helping the younger novice riders work their way around the course. In an attempt to help offset the costs associated with racing, the Walkers have started an online GoFundMe donation page, which so far has raised more than $700 – including a $500 donation from the

Kiwanis Club of White Rock/South Surrey; Kiwanis member Hilda Kohls is a lunchroom supervisor at H.T. Thrift, and helped set the wheels in motion for the donation. Maire said the sacrifices are worth it when she sees how successful her son has been since he first learned to ride a bike at 2½ years old. “No training wheels either, he just went,” she said. Holden has been racing since he was six and, in addition to being talented, has also proven to be a tough guy to keep down. In his second-ever race, he crashed – “I went right over the handlebars,” he said – and last year, he suffered two serious crashes within a span of six weeks. One came during a race in

Pemberton, in which Holden broke his collarbone, dislocated his shoulder and hyperextended his neck. “I’m a little bit taller now,” Holden joked about his neck injury. Then, in Kelowna, after a successful race, Holden celebrated by taking his bike to the skateboard/bike park for some trick riding. However, he crashed on a landing and suffered some facial scratches and a concussion, which left him unable to compete the next day. Rather than sulk, Holden volunteered to hand out ribbons and cheer on other riders. Maire called it one of her “proudest moments as a mom.” Holden said neither injury discouraged him from riding; even after the Pemberton injuries, he admitted to riding his bike around

his White Rock home sooner than he was supposed to. “These are things a

mother probably doesn’t want to hear,” Maire laughed. After this weekend’s

races, Holden has his eyes on a nationallevel competition in Nanaimo.

CARSON, Levina (Vi) Beatrice née Ladubec August 30, 1928 April 29, 2015 Born the youngest of twelve children to Ukrainian immigrant homesteaders in Pelly Saskatchewan. Always a force to be reckoned with, she couldn’t wait to get started and was born in a taxi on the way to the hospital. Informed by her depression era youth she migrated east in her late teens to make a life in the big city of Toronto working at “The Bell” and later in insurance, marrying her first husband Harold Lesurf in 1954 and raising their daughter Debbie. Following his passing in 1974 she married Wesley Carson in 1982 and they moved to White Rock in 1992 to be near her family. Widowed again in 2000. This humble but determined prairie girl made the most of her nine lives, dodging many a health bullet and proudly saw much of the world in her travels. She was a caring friend to many, always finding a way to help or lead in community service. Recently her spirit was strong but her body was tired so she left her long and remarkable life reluctantly but at peace, with her family by her side. Survived by daughter Debbie (Bruce), grandsons Davis, Taylor, and Lewis and cherished nieces Chicky, Susie, and Leslie in Ontario. We deeply miss our amazing “Vi”, Aunt Niney, and G’ma but it was her time. Our sincerest thanks to the wonderful staff at Peace Arch Hospital Hospice who so eased our way. Memorial Tea at Whitecliff on Saturday May 23rd from 2:30pm to 4:00pm.

EDE, Helen May 29, 1936 - May 2, 2015 Helen passed away quietly at the Peace Arch Hospice after a time for loving farewells with close family and friends. She is remembered for her devotion to her husband Gary, and as a mother, nurse and community activist. A nursing graduate from Kingston General Hospital, Helen worked for many years at York Central Hospital near Toronto. As an activist, she helped found the Jane/Finch Community and Family Centre. She is survived by her children Andrew, Meghan and Joseph, and grandchildren Graham, Quinlan, Nirav and Rowan. She believed in the goodness in people and our collective duty to help others. Memorial donation in lieu of flowers, to the Peace Arch Hospice Society (www.whiterockhospice.org) or the Jane-Finch Community and Family Centre (www.janefinchcentre.org).

CASSADY, Anne Marie March 30, 1924 - March 6, 2015

Anne Marie Cassady (nee: Friday) passed away peacefully March 6, 2015 at The Harrison Full Care Home in Elim Village, Surrey. She was 90 years old. She is survived by her husband of 53 years, David, son Christopher (Michele) of Calgary, son Thomas Felber of Lopez, Washington, grandchildren Emma, Logan and Fiora Felber, brother and sisters Norman Campbell (Ethel), Janice Richardson and Janet Pillion, sister-in-law Charilyn Campbell and nephews and nieces. She was preceded in death by son Mark Felber, brother Richard Campbell and sister Chloris Mekons. Anne was born March 30, 1924 in Elkhart, Indiana and was adopted at 5 days of age by loving parents George and Marie Friday. At 65 years of age Anne received a letter saying she had five half-sisters and brothers. It came as a complete surprise. She met her new found family, visiting several times over the following years. In Elkhart High school she was an honour student, a member of Mensa and played the Double Bass in the school orchestra. She also played the Piano. Anne graduated from Murray State University in Murray, Kentucky with a BA in Music. For 70 years Anne performed on the Double Bass with various music groups including the Vancouver Philharmonic and Victoria Civic Orchestras. She was a member of Sigma Alpha Iota, an International Music Fraternity for Women. Anne was a loving, nurturing mother to her sons and grandchildren. She had a strong social conscience and voiced her opinion in letters and in person. Her hearty melodious laugh is dearly missed. She loved gardening and grew a veggie garden every summer. Her home and garden was alive with flowers. Camping and traveling were also a joy. The family wishes to thank the Nursing and Caregivers Staff at Brookside Lodge and the Harrison Home in Surrey for their Loving care during her final four years of life following a stroke. She is at peace. Donations to the BC Heart and Stroke foundation are appreciated. A private celebration of life will be held.
