‘Imprudent actions’ of past board regretted by current leader

BC Tories apologize to ousted member Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Vindication appears to have arrived in the mail for South Surrey’s Dr. Allison Patton. But the former prospective candidate for the BC Conservatives – who had her membership revoked in 2012 after challenging party leadership – says she’s not sure yet how to react to an unexpected

apology letter from the party’s board of directors, and a suggestion she might work with the party in the future. “I was very pleasantly pleased with the action of the board, but I had really put (the issue) behind me,” she told Peace Arch News. “I hadn’t given it much more thought.” Acknowledging she is a “passionate personality,” Patton did not, however,

rule out a return to the political arena. “It’s a strong possibility – politics keep coming to us. Every few weeks there are things happening that ask you to be involved. If it happens it will be when I don’t have a spare moment… The timing will be just impossible, I’m sure.” The May 8 letter from BC Conservatives president Ian MacDonald extended both an apology and an olive branch to

Patton, who was also formerly president of the Surrey-White Rock constituency association. Patton was one of three party dissidents who had their memberships revoked in October 2012 after they called publicly for the resignation of then-leader John Cummins, following a round of in-fighting within party ranks. i see page 4

RCMP shortage delayed new recruits in recent years

Feds vow to produce 100 new Surrey officers Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Surrey will be getting the 100 additional police officers it ordered, the federal government announced on Tuesday. MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay (Delta-Richmond East), who was speaking on behalf of Canada’s minister of public safety, said Surrey’s policing is a top priority and that the city will get the Mounties it requested, as well as $3.5 million for the school district’s anti-gang program. The commitment of the 100 police officers

budgeted by the city puts to rest doubts that the RCMP training depot in Regina could train enough officers to serve across the country. Depot has hit critical lows since 2008. Seven years ago, 1,783 cadets had enrolled, with 1,258 graduating. That number dropped to 340 in 2013, then rose to 960 the following year. Jinny Sims, MP for Newton-North Delta, said at the time that the drop in recruitment numbers does not bode well for Surrey. “I keep saying – we have a growing city, and more people means a need for more police to

keep our streets safe,” Sims said. “Of course we need buy-in from Ottawa. The declining number of RCMP graduates is alarming for everyone.” Findlay did not say when the new Surrey Mounties would arrive. Her announcement of $3.5 million in new funding over five years for Wrap, the Surrey School District’s gang-reduction program, comes on the heels of a similar announcement last month by B.C. Premier Christy Clark, who pledged $270,000 for the program.

A former White Rock RCMP officer charged in connection with a May 2011 incident that killed pedestrian Marilyn Laursen will not go to trial on the matter. Criminal proceedings against Const. David Bickle – which had been scheduled to get underway in B.C. Supreme Court next Monday – were set aside after the officer pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of driving without due care and attention. Neil MacKenzie, communications counsel for the Criminal Justice Branch, confirmed Tuesday that the plea to the Motor Vehicle Act offence was entered May 15 in Surrey Provincial Court, where Judge Paul Dohm imposed a fine of $1,200 and a victim fine surcharge of $180. “After careful consideration of the circumstances, including the evidence that had been heard at the preliminary inquiry in the case, the Crown concluded that it was appropriate to accept a guilty plea to the charge under the Motor i see page 4

Efforts to restore Loyal Orange Lodge fail to come to fruition

Piece of city’s past gently comes down Jennifer Lang Black Press

One of Surrey’s oldest heritage buildings, Loyal Orange Lodge No. 1471, has been torn down. Its lifetime touched three centuries and it survived a move to Surrey Centre Cemetery, in the 16600-block of Old McLellan Rd., where it sat for two decades awaiting restoration. Last week, with no rescuer on the horizon and its walls bowing with rot, the hall was torn down by the City of Surrey. Built in 1891, the hall was one of the last surviving institutional buildings from Surrey’s pioneer past, serving an important role in the settlement and further development of the city’s culture as the focus of community life for early protestant settlers. The tear-down ended nearly two decades of frustrated efforts to find a way to preserve and restore the historic hall, listed on the City of Surrey’s heritage register in 2004. It was relocated from its original site a few

blocks east on 60 Avenue in 1993 in order to save it from demolition when that property was being redeveloped. According to Don Luymes, Surrey’s manager of community planning, the hall was moved to the cemetery as a temporary measure. The idea was to buy time while a more permanent use could be thought of – ideally finding a purchaser willing to take on the restoration and preservation project, and secure a new lease on life for the building. That’s happened to several historic counterparts in the Five Corners area, including the Boothroyd House (1875) at 168 Street and 60 Avenue, which was saved and restored, finding new life as a commercial building. For a time, the post-relocation future of the Loyal Orange Lodge looked promising. The city collected funds from developers in the North Cloverdale Neighbourhood Concept Area to relocate the hall to a permanent site, but even that route proved frustrating. It would have cost tens of thousands of dollars to move the building even a short

Various Surrey Heritage Advisory Commissions explored different options, including reaching out to other surviving Orange Order chapters, but none came to fruition. “It sat and it sat and it sat on the cemetery grounds,” Luymes said. The death knell came with a 2012 assessment by a heritage-building expert who

found it would cost around $400,000 to properly restore the building. “The city didn’t have that kind of money for it, so it sat,” said Luymes. Meanwhile, it became a growing eyesore, home to pigeons and gulls, and beset by woodpeckers, who seemed to enjoy pecking holes in the wood siding. When the heritage commission reconsidered the hall earlier this year, it decided the building couldn’t be saved. “We would have loved to find the right purchaser who would take the building on, but the building continued to deteriorate,” Luymes added. The building was so rotten, a collapse was imminent, potentially endangering children walking home from school using a shortcut through the heritage site. The structure was dismantled so it can be documented, with some portions salvaged for future use. “They pushed it over gently,” Luymes said. “You couldn’t take it apart. It was in an advanced state of disrepair.”

Guilty plea in death of Google exec Tracy Holmes

Tracy Holmes

Staff Reporter

A woman with ties to the Semiahmoo Peninsula who was charged last year in connection with the overdose death of a high-ranking Google executive has been sentenced to six years in prison. Alix Catherine Tichelman’s name made international headlines last July, after she appeared in a California court accused of injecting 51-year-old Forrest Timothy Hayes with a lethal dose of heroin in November 2013. Originally from Georgia, Tichelman spent part of her childhood at South Surrey’s Southridge School. Court documents in the case outlined a multitude of charges: manslaughter, administering/ Alix Tichelman giving away a former student controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance, destroying/concealing evidence, transportation of a controlled substance and prostitution. Tichelman became a suspect after detectives “learned that she had an ongoing prostitution relationship with the victim,” police said in a statement released last July. The statement described Tichelman as “a high-priced outcall prostitute” who boasted of having more than 200 clients. According to online reports, Tichelman pleaded guilty Tuesday in Santa Cruz Superior Court to involuntary manslaughter, administering a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance, destroying or concealing evidence and engaging and agreeing to engage in prostitution.

Four months after moving into the first house they’ve lived in since the early-2000s, Roy Mercer and Darlene Fox are preparing to be homeless again. The couple – first featured in the Peace Arch News about eight years ago – last made headlines in October, when they were told they’d have to leave a forested area in South Surrey that they’d called home for about a decade. With the help of Friends of the Families – a local non-profit group that helps struggling families and individuals in the Lower Mainland start fresh – they moved into a house in the 2600block of King George Boulevard in January. After cleaning the place up – of both debris and a dubious reputation – they were told in April that the house, along with others north of theirs, was to be demolished and they had two months to leave. “When I first moved in here, it was a pigsty,” Mercer said. “We got it looking like a home. “Now, we’re back on the street again.” It’s a situation Lori Ishikawa – one of Friends’ founders – described as “just sickening.” Ongoing efforts to find ❝We’ve affordable housing in the become a area have come up dry, but family and you Ishikawa remains hopeful. don’t break up Compounding the issue, there are three others who a family.❞ share the house with the Roy Mercer couple who will also be left homeless at the end of the month. Mercer and Fox have taken two of them – seniors Ralph Spencer and Jura Kuksa – under their wing, helping them to doctors’ appointments and the like. Ali Donlin moved in last September, after the treed lot where she’d set up her tent was cleared. Mercer is determined to keep them together. “I’m not going to leave them high and dry,” he said. “They ask on a daily basis, ‘are you sure we’re coming with you?’ We’ve become a family and you don’t break up a family.” While Mercer remains hopeful that their time at the house can be extended – he said they were initially told the house was theirs for two years – he admits it was not an easy

It has been a crime scene on a number of occasions over the years, frequented by police dealing with fights, sketchy individuals and even murder. The latter hit home for Mercer, who was a friend of a man who died following what police termed a “targeted home invasion” in November 2013. (Court proceedings against two men charged in connection with Corey Bennett’s death are ongoing. Mercer said Bennett’s room is the only one he made off-limits.) In addition to clearing copious garbage from inside the house, Mercer has taken pride in the area surrounding the home, mowing the grass and keeping the boulevard tidy, even trimming back bushes to keep the sidewalk clear Neighbours have commented on a positive change, he said. “They actually stop now, let me pet their ani-

mals, play with their children,” he said. Before, “they would scurry away from this place.” While the housemates would prefer to stay put as long as possible – and locally for the long-term – if they have to move, a fourbedroom would be ideal. Between them, they can afford up to $1,800 per month and Mercer, who works part-time at a South Surrey car wash, said he’ll fix anything that needs fixing. Time, however, is running out. Their last day at the house is May 28. “There’s not a lot of time and there’s nowhere for them to go,” Ishikawa said, noting her group won’t hesitate to help with a move. “They just need a roof over their heads. There’s got to be something that’s coming up.” Ishikawa asks that anyone who can help call 604-690-2139 or email friendsofthefamilies@ shaw.ca

i from page 1 Cummins ultimately resigned after the B.C. election in May 2013, when the party – unrepresented in the legislature in the previous session – was unable to elect any candidates. The current party leader is Dan Brooks. In his letter, MacDonald says the party has “seen many positive changes since 2012.” He says the current board of directors is restoring her membership and offering a “reconciliation opportunity” by inviting Patton to work with the party in the future. “We believe that the imprudent actions of the 2012 board have negatively impacted you and the others involved,” he writes. “For this we express our sincere regret and, as far as we are able, revoke the actions of the previous board.” It’s a far cry, Patton agreed, from the terse missive she received from former party president Al Siebring in 2012, in which he said she had violated party bylaws by questioning Cummins’ leadership “both in the conven-

tional and social media, and by various communications with party members.” In announcing the provincial board’s revocation of her membership, Siebring said her actions had been “harmful to the unity, image and effectiveness of the party.” Reached Thursday, Siebring – a city councillor in North Cowichan – declined to comment, noting he hasn’t been involved with the BC Conservatives for the past 18 months. Asked if she considers the letter from MacDonald a vindication, Patton said “in a sense it is – it allows for closure and it’s a confirmation of what I felt.” Patton – along with former Burnaby North constituency association president Arianne Eckardt and Burnaby businessman John Crocock, who had unsuccessfully campaigned for party vice-president – launched a lawsuit against the BC Conservatives in late 2012 following revocation of their memberships. The suit has since been discon-

tinued, Patton said, “without a cost basis to any of the parties.” Internal turmoil in the party had emerged in August 2012 when Patton and several other members of the Surrey-White Rock association resigned from their posts. At that time, Patton cited her belief the BC Conservatives should be inclusive of all segments of society, with a particular emphasis on roles for women and youth. She said then that she and other board members had resigned because “there were some appointments made in the party that posed some challenges for some of us, based on our future plans – when people have a history of views that we don’t agree with.” Last week she confirmed she did not feel Cummins was the right person to lead the BC Conservatives, particularly after BC Liberal John van Dongen crossed the floor of the Legislature to sit as the first BC Conservative in the assembly, but subsequently left to sit as an independent.

Driver that struck pedestrian jailed i from page 1 Vehicle Act, and not pursue a conviction under the Criminal Code,” MacKenzie told Peace Arch News by email. Bickle had been ordered to stand trial on a charge of dangerous driving causing bodily harm following a preliminary inquiry held in February 2014.

The charge related to injuries suffered by the driver of a car that was struck during the pursuit of the vehicle that ultimately struck and killed Laursen as she crossed Johnston Road at Thrift Avenue. Bickle had initially also faced a charge of dangerous driving causing death, however, that charge

was stayed following the preliminary inquiry – a move that relieved members of Laursen’s family who attended the proceedings. The driver who hit Laursen – Kyle Brandon Danyliuk – pleaded guilty to four charges in connection with the incident, and was sentenced in October 2012 to two years in prison.

uestion: I have always been attractive to men. I work at it, dress expensively, and have had my share of relationships. I can count on men looking after me so I saw no need to save money. An older man fell for me and I loved the way he doted on me. He took me on a couple of really nice cruises and bought me really nice clothes. After six months I h d to lleave if he didn’t marry me and he was so threatened frightened of losing me, he did. Then after a couple of months he suddenly died. His children have told me that he had a ten year old will that gave everything to them. I am experienced in these matters and I told them that his old will became void when we married and I am entitled to a large part of his estate. I think that I have lucked out. You agree, right? nswer: Nope. Your timing is lousy. Up until July 31, 2014 you would have been right, but his will is still valid due to a change in the legislation. You are stuck with a really weak case under the Wills Variation Act. You better start looking for another guy.

A sizable federal government contract awarded to a White Rock company is good news for a local business – and for improved monitoring of rivers and streams across Canada – according to South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert. Hiebert was on hand last Friday for the announcement of the $542,643 contract with Fluvial Systems Research Inc. – and for a demonstration of its Spaceborne Water Quality Assessment equipment – at the Nicomekl River by Elgin Road bridge. Fluvial Systems’ technique uses a new high-resolution satellite to read information on water quality in small shallow rivers, company owner and geoscientist Stephen Bird told the Peace Arch News.

It will be tested this summer, in conjunction with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, by correlating the data received by the satellite with data received from traditional in-the-field testing equipment. The potential benefits include more rapid identification of sources of contamination, allowing officials to take precautionary measures to ensure sustainable management of water resources, Bird confirmed. It will also be cost-effective, he said, since remote bodies of water can be surveyed from space, before the decision is made to “focus the attention of a field crew” on a specific area. “It’s fantastic,” said Bird of the contract, which took nine months of work to secure. “We had a unique idea and

Hillside viewpoint

hite Rock council’s decision to clear the foliage on ‘the hump’ – the unfortunately nicknamed hillside area overlooking the city’s namesake – certainly caught a number of residents off-guard earlier this month. No public debate, no real declaration of intent, simply listed as “vegetation improvements” and plans to “upgrade Hump retaining walls” in the city’s 2014 to 2018 draft financial plan, it would be interesting to hear if elected officials assumed the public fully understood their intentions. It seems most only took notice of the city’s plans – described by many as “clearcutting,” though city staff contest that term – after work was underway. Some describe it as tragic; others describe it in glowing terms. Certainly, the biggest winners will be those who own property just north of Marine Drive, which will gain views from the waterfront clear, on a good day, to the San Juan Islands. The losers will be those who prefer the more natural terrain, whether for aesthetic reasons or because they put more value in the wildlife who make ‘the hump’ their home. Predictably, there are those who will argue that the hillside, without the previously existing vegetation, will be on the verge of collapse. To the layman, that argument seems specious, given the responsibility we place on others to keep us safe. And not just civic officials ensure our safety; there are provincial and federal regulations that we must rely on, as well as the owners of the land in question, BNSF Railway, as well as Transport Canada, which oversees train safety. That a city notice posted online May 4 maintains “slope stability” is a prime reason for the work, however, seems equally suspect. If that had been an issue, surely residents could have expected such conversation to dominate an open discussion of city council. Instead, the public, once again, learns of city plans piecemeal, as though any meaningful discussions were held out of earshot. Regardless of which side of the argument one finds oneself – pro-view or pro-rugged terrain – certainly all sides would agree it’s incumbent on city leaders to be upfront and communicative in their decision. And on this front, they’ve come up short.

The reception took place in a huge music store across the street from the theatre. We decided to kill a little time beforehand by checking out pianos that we couldn’t afford on the third floor. When we got into the elevator to go the reception, however, it stopped at the second floor and much to our surprise, in walked the Great Man himself. As the eloquent master of intricate lyrics entered, I blurted out the first thing that came into my suddenly addle pated brain: “Welcome to Vancouver, Mr. Sondheim!” For once in her life, though, my adoring wife was struck speechless. The PR man accompanying Sondheim eyed us a little suspiciously as we followed the into the reception which was packed with more than 100 excited fans. Many of them – including me – formed a small circle around Sondheim, hanging on to his every word.

Dissimilar cityscapes Editor: Re: Cities become partners, May 8. Just when it seemed White Rock’s ongoing theatre of the absurd – also known as its city council – couldn’t get any more ridiculous, it announces a “friendly exchange relationship” with Dongying, China. What exactly does White Rock, a quiet city of 20,000, have to offer a sprawling industrial metropolis of more than two million? Not much. Perhaps Mayor Wayne Baldwin and his developer cronies spot an opportunity to peddle more megatower condo projects to offshore investors. If that’s the case, the mayor and council are in for a less-than-friendly exchange with the people who actually live here. Anthony Manning, White Rock Q White Rock, British Columbia, Canada: A small seaside city with a population of about 20,000. Known for its pretty beaches, great views and large population of retirees. Dongying, Shandong Province, China: A large city with a population of more than two million. Home to China’s second largest oilfield and more tire factories than any other city in the world. So what do these two cities have in common? Absolutely nothing, and yet, White Rock city council has agreed to enter into a “friendly exchange relationship” with the City of Dongying, which is seeking to promote, amongst other things, economic development, science and technology. My question is, why, and, what is really going on here? Having been a resident of Richmond for 18 years before moving to White Rock, I could hazard a guess, but all I’ll say is this: Citizens of White Rock, be prepared for your wonderful little city to change dramatically in the upcoming years. And to all you retirees out there hoping for a quiet and peaceful retirement, sorry, you’re out of luck. L. James, White Rock

Criticisms continue Editor: Re: Maternity criticism draws fire, May 6. White Rock Coun. David Chesney should be removed from his position, just like the Hydro One employee who shouted abuse at the City TV reporter recently. He is not a good role model. There is no excuse for this type of public behaviour. If the White Rock council does not take action, they must be complicit in condoning his behaviour. If the council has no legal recourse to remove him, then perhaps the citizens can demand recall legislation. We need good role models, and it’s obvious that Chesney does not have the strength of character to resign. John Mackintosh, Surrey Q

Free speech and personal taste/ perspectives enrich the diversity we enjoy as Canadians. Modesty is gone, whether droopy pants and butt-cracks for men, or over-the-top bulbous boobs peeking out and tight pregnant tummies. People will dress as they choose. Remarks made without forethought happen. Foot-in-mouth is a curse we all bear now and again. Frankly, get over it. This, too, will pass. White Rock Coun. David Chesney has apologized on CBC camera, at his ‘community conversation’, in person to those who want to talk and by email/letter as people contact him. Lesson learned. Sigh, we need better journalism that does not take the “bait” on this trivial smear stuff and covers stories we need to know about, learn from or celebrate accomplishments. I hope the federal-election coverage will be on the issues, the skills and capacity of candidates to actually represent us and not be mere messengers from Ottawa. I don’t need to know people’s opinions on personalities, personal style, fashion and trivia. How would this person before me perform on the job, and what applied knowledge, skills, experience and determination can they bring? Pat Petrala, White Rock Q Re: Have compassion for pregnant women, May 8 column. When narcissism dictates

behaviour, no amount of suggestions will correct the problem unless firm measures are applied. Obviously, the TV station’s management are not prepared to preserve the dignity of the news hour, and we the viewing public are subjected to the lowest form of on-camera offensive dress code for the second time by this weather reporter. Tight white pants, highheeled shoes and form-fitting tops do not belong on a full-blown pregnant body. I will not be around for her third event, should it happen. It’s just too painful and embarrassing! Thank you, Coun. David Chesney, for having the courage to speak out. I applaud your honesty and agree with your comments. Management should have nipped this bud the first time around. Lillian Harland, Surrey

Voters’ apathy explainable Editor: At the outset, wasn’t it said that this Metro Vancouver transit referendum was non-biding? If so, why was all the money wasted to tell us how to vote? Is anyone really wondering why there is apathy about voting? Gordon E. Swanson, Surrey

Tree directive can’t be clearer Editor: I was taking my afternoon walk along the promenade and saw the continuation of the destruction of vegetation on the ‘hump’. At the ‘community conversation’ hosted by Coun. David Chesney, Coun. Helen Fathers indicated the clearing was being done to protect the views of the residents along that stretch of Marine Drive. I was gobsmacked! My view of Mount Baker certainly was not protected, as the city allowed the building of a four-storey house two doors down from my residence. I asked myself, what is the guiding principle regarding views – either the city protects views or it doesn’t. This led me to read White Rock’s official community plan. And there it was, under Section 4.2.18: “The City will ensure that the land south of Marine Drive, situated between the parking lot at the foot of the pier and Totem Plaza/Lion’s Lookout Park, {otherwise known as ‘the hump’} is to be maintained in its natural state.” It can’t be made any clearer. The city, in addition to having conflicting policies regarding views, does not follow its own OCP. Erika Johanson, White Rock

Ongoing work intended to make White Rock’s waterfront railway tracks safer for passersby is met with disapproval.

Fencing off tracks no solution Editor: Re: Early-morning train death investigated, May 20. Another tragedy on BNSF rail line. And once again, the question is, what do we do to prevent more deaths on BNSF property? The stakeholders – BNSF, White Rock, First Nations and the beach-going public – need to find a happy medium between: 1) erecting a 10-foot electric fence from Roberts Bank to the U.S. border; and 2) keeping it completely unfenced and rely on people to not step in front of trains. As a frequent user of the beach and the pier, I don’t want any fences. I guarantee I will not get hit by a train. How far do we have to go in protecting ourselves from ourselves? Fences also prevent paddleboarders and kayakers from accessing the beach. As a taxpaying citizen, that is not fair. We need to stop punishing the general public for the actions of a very small percentage of the population who choose to step in front of a train or who do not

take necessary precautions to prevent themselves from stepping in front of a train. Please give us the benefit of the doubt. Stop erecting fences. Give us back proper access to the beach we pay taxes to use. D. McNamara, White Rock Q Oh, save us from fools… We were down at West Beach with our granddaughter last week. What a mess they have made of the boat launch. Horrible asphalt coated our shoes, and with my bad ankle I had some trouble getting over the new track slope to get to the benches. When we sat for a moment on the parking lot side of the track; that awful black fencing really did spoil the view at “My City by the Sea”. Please, White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin and Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner, can we get a move towards rail relocation, sooner rather than later? Susan Potzold, White Rock

Surrey is a key battleground, with the election in at least three of the seats to be hard-fought.

Centre and Newton that would open by 2023, and a 17.1-kilometre line from City Centre to Langley City opening by 2028. Light rail would have more stations than SkyTrain and be more pedestrian-friendly, the report said. The study argues the light-rail lines will be a magnet for other high-tech and health sciences employers, resulting in more jobs springing up along the network. And it predicts increased investment in high-quality residential, commercial and civic development that would increase the tax base and add jobs in both Surrey City Centre and Langley’s town centre. More households may be able to afford homes in the area, it says, because the line will allow more residents to forego a car. SkyTrain for Surrey advocate Daryl Dela Cruz said the Shirocca report appears to emphasize economics and development because the actual transit improvement case from LRT is weak. “Commuters don’t want to know about these vague details – they want to know if they’ll be able to get around easier,” Dela Cruz said. His group proposes SkyTrain to Langley on Fraser Highway and bus rapid transit instead of light rail on other corridors.

Harlequin population changing habits, says White Rock scientist

Sea-duck survey targets molting mystery Tracy Holmes

Staff Reporter

here’s something fishy going on with male Harlequin ducks that call the White Rock/Crescent Beach shoreline

home. And local scientist Sean Boyd is determined to find out what’s driving the trend in what he described as “probably the best-studied” population of the sea ducks in the world. The faithful birds – they typically mate for life – have been monitored here since about 1986. “Up until 2006, the males were coming back every year (to molt),” Boyd, a research scientist with Environment Canada’s Science & Technology Branch, said earlier this month, as he surveyed the Kwomais Point coastline from West Beach. “Then, they stopped.” The Harlequins winter along the rocky shorelines, foraging on small crustaceans, and migrate Sean Boyd inland every spring – scientist they’ve just recently started to move – to breed on mountain streams. Historically, the males return to molt in June, followed about two months later by the females. In recent years, however, the males are going elsewhere to molt and returning one to two months after the females. Boyd’s theory is the males have changed their habits as a result of one or both of two things: an increase in recreational water sports that bring participants within 100 metres of the shoreline, disturbing the molting birds and preventing them from foraging for long periods; and, a new trend of eagles nesting in the area. “They never used to nest here,” Boyd said of the raptors, noting he now counts five or six nests in the trees above the coastline between West Beach and Crescent Beach, and, on some days, has spotted up to 100 eagles foraging along the beach. If they are making the Harlequins nervous, the ducks may simply be opting not to take any chances. “It’s more predation risk,” Boyd said. “Why risk being captured or predated if you can go somewhere else and be safe?” Boyd expects to solve the mystery within the next two months, through a project jointly funded by Environment Canada and the Sea Duck Joint Venture.

An additional incentive for tracking the local ducks has to do with a large decline in the wintering population. Back in the 1980s, it numbered between 110 and 120 ducks. These days, it’s down to about half that – only 50 or 60. Earlier this month, five of Boyd’s marked group were still in the area. Transmitter data last week from the other marked ducks showed a female 550 kilometres away, in Jasper National Park; a pair just south of Wells Gray Provincial Park; a male just north of Salmon Arm; a male just south of Gold Bridge; a female just north of Cowichan Lake (likely nesting); and a pair just south of Bellingham. The data also shows that one female i see page 12

i from page 11 tracked to just south of Princeton has died. Boyd said most people he chats with in the course of surveying the ducks have no

idea of the local area’s significance to water birds. “I would say 99 per cent of them don’t even know we have Harlequin ducks,” he

said. “We are on the most important wintering area for water birds. You could have 100,000 marine birds in this area on a given day. We’re living right on an incredible site and I don’t think a lot of people appreciate that.” He acknowledged the local Harlequin population is “a drop

in the bucket,” but it would be shame to lose them nonetheless. “They are part of the ecosystem. This might be a precursor of what’s going to happen in other areas,” he said. Another reason to track the ducks is a bit more ominous: to develop a baseline in the event of a toxic spill from ships or

trains. Boyd noted a study of Harlequins and Barrow’s goldeneye following the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster showed the bird populations didn’t even start to recover until 20 to 25 years later. “If it did happen (in Semiahmoo or Boundary Bay), it would be disastrous,” he said.

Take a walk in the garden Friends of Semiahmoo Bay Society will host a community volunteer garden project this Sunday at White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waterfront native plant demonstration garden. The 1-4 p.m. event will include a short tour of the garden â&#x20AC;&#x201C; located on the west side of the White Rock Museum (14970 Marine Dr.) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to learn about native plants and their uses, the opportunity to plant a seed and a guided bird-watching walk. The native plant demonstration garden originated in 2003, inspired by an

appreciation for the beauty of native plants and for how native plants provide food and protection for birds, pollinators and people. The garden was overhauled in the fall of 2008, plant identification signs were installed in 2012 and volunteers continue to remove invasive weeds and replace missing plants and broken signs. Prior to the event, an additional 100 plants will be added. For more information, visit birdsonthebay.ca or email blueheron@birdsonthebay.ca

Temporary foreign workers to be subject of forum A forum on the federal government’s Temporary Foreign Worker program is set for May 30 at Semiahmoo Library. Featuring NDP MLA Mable Elmore (VancouverKensington) as keynote speaker, the 2-4 p.m. event is to include a “blue-ribbon panel” of lawyers and other politicians, organizer Stuart Lyster said. Lyster – retired minister of Sunnyside United Church – said Elmore will speak

about the effects of the April 1 enforcement of the ‘four in, four out’ rule. It limits how long temporary foreign workers can work in Canada to four years; they must then wait four years before they can get a new permit. Employment Insurance and Canada Pension Plan rules will be among other topics. The forum is sponsored in part by Migrante BC, a community-based organization committed to the protection and

promotion of the rights of Filipino imigrants and migrant workers.

Lyster was among Sunnyside United members who offered

support in 2013 to Leticia Sarmiento, the nanny at the centre

This is the second year that the local market has been accepted into the project. Sunday (May 24) is opening day for the White Rock Farmers’ Market 2015 season. It will operate this year with new hours – 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. – in the same location (Miramar Village Plaza, 15154 Russell Ave.).

Owners of British Columbia greenhouses are inviting their neighbours and customers this weekend to tour four Fraser Valley greenhouses – including one in South Surrey – to see for themselves how so much can be produced from so little, and for so long. To visit a B.C. greenhouse is to look through a figurative, and rarely uncovered, window and see modern science’s solutions to the time-andspace restraints on food production that have challenged humankind since the first nomad planted the first grain seeds 12,000 years ago. In B.C., greenhouse production of flowers and vegetables accounts for 21 per cent of total agriculture production. That production occurs on only 1/100th of one per cent of all the province’s agricultural land. In B.C., too, greenhouse production puts fresh local vegetables on the kitchen table 10 months of the year. The occasion is a BC Veggie Day promotion organized and sponsored

by the BC Greenhouse Growers’ Association, owners of greenhouses in Abbotsford, Aldergrove and Surrey, which are opening their facilities to the public on May 23 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The greenhouses include Sunnyside Greenhouses, 1119 176 St., Surrey; Calais Farms, 34250 Township Line Rd., Abbotsford; Peppertree Farms, 270 Gladwin Road, Abbotsford; and Topgro Farms, 1110 264 St., Aldergrove. BC Veggie Day is supported by the B.C. government’s Buy Local Program and delivered by the Investment Agriculture Foundation of B.C. with funding from the provincial agriculture ministry. For more information, contact Pam at Pamela Groberman Media & Public Relations at pr@ pamelagroberman.com or call 604644-1064.

‘Clean energy’ the next step in climate-change battle

Nuclear technology eyed PLANT SALE

Tom Fletcher Black Press

Premier Christy Clark revealed some unexpected allies when she unveiled her “climate leadership team” to go beyond a carbon tax in reducing B.C.’s greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to mayors, climate experts, aboriginal leaders, representatives of the natural gas and forest industries and environmental activists surrounding Clark at an announcement last week, redcoated scientists gathered in front of a strange machine with radiating steel arms. It’s a prototype of a nuclear reactor being built in Burnaby by General Fusion, backed by venture capital funds including those run by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and the Malaysian government. Conventional reactors use nuclear fission, in which large molecules of radioactive material are broken apart to produce heat. Fusion reactors attempt to compress hydrogen atoms to create a helium atom, releasing enormous energy in the process that powers the Sun and other stars. Even after a tour of General Fusion, Clark wasn’t anxious to describe the project. She laughed off a question by comparing it to the “flux capacitor” used for time travel in the Michael J. Fox movie Back to the Future. Nuclear fusion has been a holy grail of clean energy for decades. Stable, efficient fusion reactors would revolutionize energy production, upending the economics of coal, oil and natural gas-powered electricity.

auxiliary notes

They help the residents in many ways, including visiting residents on a one-to-one basis and serving ice cream on Sundays. Each month the auxiliary provides a birthday party for all the residents of extended care. Each floor has a birthday party for all of the people who have celebrated a birthday. A cake is purchased and there is always cheese and biscuits for those who do not eat cake. It is so important to celebrate these special occasions and more so when some of our residents may not have any family close by. The auxiliary is open to everyone, and we welcome new members. There is always lots of work to do and it is a great way to meet new people in the community If you would like to join us there are applications in the Superfluity Shop on Prospect Avenue and also at the information desk in the lobby of the hospital.

Kristal Barrett-Stuart aims to empower young girls through new project

Country singer shares her ‘Sparkle’ Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

ountry singer-songwriter-author Kristal Barrett-Stuart calls them the Sparklers. They are the girls and young women – aged 10 to 17 – that she wants to help through her Sparkle Project BC. It’s a project aimed at empowering these young individuals and building their self esteem at a time when it is most vulnerable to attack – whether it’s from the unkindness of equally insecure peers, or the mixed messages of an appearance and statusobsessed society. As her website (www.thesparkleprojectbc. com) states, it’s a “movement to inspire young girls to explore their passions, build their confidence and share their sparkle with the world.” It started with the Abbotsford resident’s Sparkle: An Inspirational Handbook for

Young Girls, in which influential and entrepreneurial women – including media celebrities Tamara Taggart, Dawn Chubai, Fiona Forbes and Erin Cebula – discuss their own struggles and the discovery of their own gifts and abilities. The project has lately elevated its profile with a strong Peninsula connection. A feel-good anthem, Sparkle, co-written by Barrett-Stuart and Juno Award-winning singer-songwriter – and former White Rock resident – Carolyn Dawn Johnson, has just been released to stations across Canada. And the video for Sparkle, created by South Surrey’s Adera Angelucci and her company, Spiro Creative, was premiered May 7 at an official launch party at Morgan House at Grandview Corners. Both song and video, featuring guest appearances by Johnson, Madeline Merlo and Victoria Duffield, are available on iTunes. Partial proceeds from sales of the song

and video and the book (available from the website) will help create bursaries for girls needing financial assistance to further pursue their dreams, Barrett-Stuart said. The YWCA Women of Distinction nominee added that she is also in the process of organizing Sparkle workshops. Bitter experiences and circumstances of life can often combine to extinguish a young girl’s precious individual “sparkle,” she said – and it’s that tragic limitation she hopes to avert, particularly in the key pre-adolescent years. “Sparklers,” she said, “take the pledge to own their own sparkle – to recognize that they are unique and their talents and gifts make them who they are.” As she shares in the blog attached to her website, Barrett-Stuart’s life is “a bit of a country song,” which directly influenced her decision to create the Sparkle project to give new opportunities to young girls. Part of that has also been the inspiration of

having her own daughter, Kelli, now threeand-a-half. Raised from age two by a single mother who had left a physically abusive relationship – and struggled for years to provide for Barrett-Stuart and her younger half-brother – the songwriter learned how poverty could limit the pursuit of dreams, such as seeking a singing career. She also learned how cruelly peers could attack her self-esteem through society’s perception of body image. But Barrett-Stuart came out the other side of those dark years, thanks to her mother – “the best coach I could have” – and making use of vision boards to visualize dreams and goals, and, in the process, rediscovering her own “sparkle” as a songwriter and performer. Angelucci – a former Earl Marriott Secondary drama student who has developed her love of media and entrepreneurship i see page 22

Project has Peninsula connections i from page 21 into her own online show, PassionpreneurTV, said it was a natural for her to become involved with the Sparkle Project. “Kristal and I have been friends for around seven years – we both come from a background of radio work, “she said. “She has such energy and

enthusiasm and she is creating something that is uniquely her own. When she came to me about what she was doing I thought how, when I was in high school, I would have loved to have something like that.” That has been a common reaction from women approached to contribute to the

Sparkle Project, Barrett-Stuart and Angelucci said – all of them can identify with the struggles faced by new generations of girls and young women. “As soon as Kristal came to me and told me about it, I said ‘I’m there,’” Angelucci added. “In fact, she’s in the book,” laughed Barrett-Stuart.

New Surrey sculpture outside Guildford Aquatic Centre

Public art makes a splash Surrey’s newest public sculpture is making some passers by take a gulp. Splash, created by New Yorkbased photographer Michael Krondl, features an enormous photograph of water, printed on glass panels towering outside the newly built Guildford Aquatic Centre. The artwork greets people entering the city from Highway 1 and according to the artist, is meant as a contemporary reference to historical city fountains. “I see Splash as a modernday equivalent of old-world fountains that marked gathering spots where people would come for water but linger to build community,” says Krondl. The work is also inspired by the location, which is the headwater of the Serpentine River and is an appropriate reflection of the activities that take place inside the aquatic centre. While referencing the past, the artwork also uses the latest digital technology to transform a photo into a large-scale iconic artwork. Hand-painted coloured glass has been used for many years, but over the last decade, it has become possible to use ceramic pigments – which are fired much like the glazes

Joining them for dynamic two-piano and percussion arrangements of Mussorgsky’s visionary Pictures from an Exhibition, Gershwin’s evocative, jazz-influenced An American in Paris (1928) and a suite from Bernstein’s dramatic West Side Story score (1957) will be two Vancouver Symphony Orchestra stalwarts: principal percussionist Vern Griffiths and principal tympanist Aaron MacDonald.

Elgin Park striker Brooklyn Tidder celebrates a goal against Panorama Ridge Thursday during the Fraser Valley senior girls AAA finals at Newton Athletic Park.

Elgin Park senior girls set for soccer provincials in Victoria

Undefeated Orcas win Valley banner Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Elgin Park Orcas’ senior girls soccer team picked the perfect time to hand the Panorama Ridge Thunder their first loss in two years. Last Thursday at Newton Athletic Park, the Orcas defeated their Surrey opponents 3-1 in the final game of the Fraser Valley Championships, dethroning the defending champs, while also securing a top berth at upcoming provincials. B.C. Senior Girls AAA Soccer Championships are set to begin May 28 in Victoria, and Elgin Park – who are undefeated this season – is expected to be the top seed in the 16-team tournament. Prior to the win over Panorama Ridge, the Orcas defeated No. 4-ranked Charles Best

Secondary. That depth was certainly on display “Watching this group of girls come up Thursday, as the Orcas jumped out to a 3-0 (from the younger age groups), I’ve said lead in the first half, and limited Panorama’s for the last couple of years that scoring chances. we’d go to provincials, and we ❝If we have everybody “Their only goal was scored had a shot to win it if we made off a set play, and we really there, and we play the commitment,” said Elgin like we did (against held them to just a couple Park coach Bruce Filsinger.

It “We have phenomenal depth,” Filsinger wasn’t just one or two girls dominating out said. “We can basically field a team that is there for us,” he said. all (high-performance league) players.” The Orcas will be making their first

appearance at provincials since 2009; that year, they qualified after edging the South Delta Secondary Sun Devils in the Valley final. Though this year’s team may not have any prior experience at senior soccer provincials, Filsinger said his team has no shortage of championship experience. Many of the girls on the squad are multi-sport athletes, he pointed out, and have played in B.C. championships in basketball and volleyball. “You just never know how these things will go,” said Filsinger. “It’s not always about which team has the best players, it’s about who comes out and plays on a particular day. “But if we have everybody there, and we play like we did (against Panorama Ridge), we will be a very difficult team to beat.”

Keaton Edwards strikes out 12 batters

Tritons edge Reds their fourth win of the BC Premier Baseball League season Tuesday, thanks in large part

to pitcher Keaton Edwards. Edwards – who will play ball next season at George Fox University in Oregon – was nearly unhittable against the Reds, allowing just two hits, while striking out a season-high 12 batters. He walked six, but allowed just one run, which came in the seventh inning when Coquitlam’s Riley Leoppky tripled, and later scored on a single. Coquitlam’s pitchers were nearly as good, allowing just three White Rock hits over seven innings. White Rock, meanwhile, took the lead in the first inning when leadoff batter Dawson Veeneman singled, stole second base, and then scored after an error by the Reds’ catcher. The game remained 1-0 until the third frame, when Veeneman walked and scored three batters later. The win improved the Tritons’ record to 4-18, and moved them out of the basement of the PBL standings; They sit 11th out 12 teams, ahead of the Parksville Royals, who are 2-9 and have played half the number of games as most other teams thus far this season. Last Friday, White Rock dropped a pair of games to the Whalley Chiefs, losing the opening tilt 9-1 before falling 5-4 in the nightcap, despite a last-inning comeback attempt. In the latter contest, White Rock trailed 5-3 heading into the bottom of the seventh, when Bailey Roope – who reached base on a fielder’s choice – scored on a single from Thomas Vincent. The next batter, Patrick van den Brink, walked, leaving the Tritons with runners on first and second base, but Whalley pitcher Thomas Espig struck out the next batter to preserve the one-run victory. Espig proved difficult for the Tritons to solve, striking out 11 batters. White Rock returns to action Saturday afternoon, when they host Coquitlam for a pair of games at noon and 2:30 p.m., respectively. On Thursday, they’ll host the North Delta Blue Jays.

South Surrey squads scoop medals at Fraser Valley championships

Track teams on the podium Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Earl Marriottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s George Brownrigg (left) runs alongside a Langley Secondary runner during Fraser Valley Championships last week.

Peninsula schools fared extremely well at Fraser Valley High School Track and Field Championships last week in Abbotsford, as teams finished in the top-10 in Grade 8, junior and senior divisions. At the senior level, Cloverdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary Panthers placed third overall in the the combined-team score, while Semiahmoo was fifth, and Earl Marriott sixth. At the junior level, Semiahmoo finished in top spot, while EMS was fourth overall and Tweedmuir seventh. Grade 8 athletes also had strong showings, with Tweedsmuir placing third overall, while Semiahmoo was fifth and White Rock Christian Academy eighth. In the senior competition, Tweedsmuirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stephanie Mernagh and Tosha Moore were third and fourth, respectively, in the girls 400-m, while Kenzo Los was second in the boys 200-m and fifth in the 100-m. In field events, Tweedsmuirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jonny

Chwaklinski was fourth in the triple jump, and Ben Ingvaldson won gold in the senior boys discus and hammer throw, and silver in the shotput. In the girls 4x100 relay, Tweedsmuir had teams finish second and fourth, while Earl Marriott was fifth. Tweedsmuir was also second in the girls 4x400 relay event. Earl Marriott, meanwhile, got medal-winning performances from a handful of senior athletes, including Jade Duncanson, who was third in both the girls 100-m and 200-m events; Ally Lydynuik, who was third in high jump and Chloe Alkema, who won the pole vault event with a vault of 3.2 m â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a full one metre better than the second-place finisher. Matthew McLean won a silver medal in the senior boys 100-m dash, while teammate Sterling Ginther was third in the 3,000-m race. Ginther also scooped a silver medal in the 2,000-m steeplechase, just ahead of WRCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Connor Jackson, who took the bronze. Matson Lalor rounded out Marriottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior medals with a

bronze in the javelin. Semiahmoo was paced by senior runner Julia Greer, who won gold in the 800- and 1,500-m races, while Jacondra Saliken was third in the shotput and discus. In the girls 400-m hurdles, Elise Burgert finished just off the podium, in fourth, while Chelsea Ribiero was also fourth in the senior girls 3,000m. Elgin Park was led by Joel Della Siega, who won gold in the senior boys high jump, while Owen Bulka was fifth in the senior boys 800-m. In addition to Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aforementioned steeplechase bronze, White Rock Christian got a podiumworthy performance from Riley Becker, who was first in the senior boys 1,500-m racewalk. The athletes will now prepare for BC Track and Field Championships, which are to be held June 4-6 at McLeod Athletic Park in Langley.

Two local players will be skating for the Kelowna Rockets at the Mastercard Memorial Cup tournament in Quebec City. Riley Stadel of Cloverdale and South Surrey’s Devante Stephens, both defencemen, will be playing for the Western Hockey League champions at the fourteam national championship tournament which gets underway today (Friday). The Rockets swept the Brandon Wheat Kings 4-0 in the best-of-seven WHL final, and will compete against the Ontario Hockey League champion Oshawa Generals, Quebec Major Junior Hockey League champion Rimouski Oceanic and the host Quebec Remparts. Kelowna will play Quebec tonight at 4:30 p.m. (PDT). All games will be televised by Sportsnet. The Rockets clinched the WHL championship with a 3-0 victory over Brandon Wednesday, May 13, in Kelowna. Wednesday’s win completed Stadel’s third, and most productive, season with the Rockets. He played in 71 games, scored 10 games and added 33 assists for 43 points. He was a plus-36 and had 77 penalty minutes. All numbers were career bests. After completing the 2010-11 season with the Cloverdale Colts

Cloverdale’s Riley Stadel celebrates a WHL title earlier this month. Bantam A team, Stadel played one season of Midget hockey in nearby Penticton with the Okanagan Hockey Academy. He played two games with the Rockets as a 15-year-old, then cracked the lineup a year later, playing in 49 games in 2012-13. Stephens played his first year as a Midget with the Valley West Hawks of the BC Hockey Major

Midget League, netting six goals and 20 points in 22 games played in the 2013-14 season. This past season, he suited up for 64 games with the Rockets, scoring four goals and adding seven assists. He’s added four assists in the post-season, playing in 17 of Kelowna’s 19 playoff games. – Rick Kupchuk

OBITUARIES

MCGILLIVRAY, Terence James August 10, 1922- May 13, 2015 Our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather passed on peacefully in his sleep May 13th at home with family in South Surrey. Dad was born on a farm in Keliher Saskatchewan in 1922 to Dorothy and Leonard. He was the only son and brother to four sisters. Dad signed up with the Army in May of 1941 as a member of the Royal Canadian Dragoons. He served in Italy as a wireless radio operator until he was wounded and sent to England to recuperate. He spent the remainder of the war driving army service vehicles and enjoying “Wine, women and song”.

Copyright and/or properties subsist in all advertisements and in all other material appearing in this edition of bcclassified.com. Permission to reproduce wholly or in part and in any form whatsoever, particularly by a photographic or offset process in a publication must be obtained in writing from the publisher. Any unauthorized reproduction will be subject to recourse by law.

He returned to Canada, and in 1948 Dad married the love of his life, Barbara (Bubs) Steele, together they raised seven children, of whom Dad was very proud. After 67 years of marriage Mom and Dad were still very much in love.

Advertise across the Lower Mainland in the 15 best-read community newspapers.

Darts, bowling and claimer car racing occupied Dad’s “playtime” before and after retirement. His love of automobiles led to his hobby of restoring collectible cars.

_____________

ON THE WEB:

bcclassified.com

During these years Dad, with Mom’s help, became a fixture in White Rock and South Surrey operating a thriving trucking and excavating business, T. McGillivray Ltd. Dad also found time to volunteer in the community of White Rock as a member of the Lions and the president of the Legion from 1964-1966

Dad will be lovingly remembered by his wife Bubs and his children; Sue Anne (Lorne, deceased) Drschiwiski, Judy (Ken) Tetz, Barb MacLeod, Wendy (Tim Atkins) McGillivray, Bruce (Diane) McGillivray, Terri (Chuck) Taylor and Scot (Cheryl) McGillivray. He will also be rembered by his 29 grandchildren and 20 great grandchildren. A memorial service will be held on Sat. May 23rd, 2pm at Sunnyside Hall In lieu of flowers please make a donation to your favorite charity. Dad, we will always carry your memory in our hearts.

OBITUARIES

FURNESS, Joan Constance 1936-2015 Our mom, Joan Constance Furness, passed away peacefully April 29th. Born August 29, 1936 in Winnipeg, mom moved to Vancouver with our grandparents in her teen years. After high school, mom trained and practised briefly as a psychiatric nurse which, undoubtedly, better prepared her for marrying our dad, Scott Furness, and creating us four kids! She had a great life with dad until she lost him in 2003. She rebounded and made the most of things, playing bridge and drinking good wine and was healthy until the last few years when her COPD caught up with her. We loved mom so much. She had a great sense of humour, made amazing Sunday night dinners, staunchly supported gay rights, pro choice (and the Conservatives!) took such good care of dad when he was sick, loved watching sports, loved her nine grandkids and with endless patience, sat through baseball, soccer and volleyball games, dance recitals and all manners of stage productions. She lived fully and pretty much did what she wanted, right up to when she died. She was our little warrior and she will be sorely missed. Mom didn’t want a service but we know she would think it was pretty nice if you wanted to send a donation to the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation in her memory... www.pahfoundation.ca
