Emergency Response Team rush to scene after group of males tries to break into house

Shot fired in attempted home invasion Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A gunshot fired in South Surrey sent police to a Croydon Drive home Saturday night.

Police confirmed that officers with the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team and the Integrated Police Dog Unit attended a home in the 3000-block of Croydon at

around 11 p.m. May 30, after a number of callers reported that a group of males were trying to get inside.

Surrey RCMP Sgt. Dale Carr said the incident is not believed to be linked to a spree of shootings in Surrey and Delta in recent months that have been attributed to the lowlevel drug trade.

“This looks like it was somebody looking for some sort of person, or perhaps a growrip or something,” Carr told Peace Arch News Monday.

One witness reported a gunshot, and police say evidence found at the scene confirmed a shot was fired.

No injuries were reported, and there was

no evidence the culprits were able to get inside.

Due to the darkness, witnesses had limited details on the intruders, who were described as young and wearing dark clothing.

Anyone with information is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

White Rock planning

Building fees to multiply Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

Fired up

The City of White Rock plans to increase fees for building permits and planning applications, after staff presented council with recommendations for significant hikes.

Council was presented with two staff reports May 25, recommending White Rock increase building and plumbing permit fees and planning-application fees to better reflect the amount of time staff spend on such applications and to bring the city closer in line with what other municipalities charge.

According to director of planning and development services Karen Cooper, the need to increase the fees in White Rock is a reflection of the increased development in the city in recent years.

Cooper noted the city’s building permit and related fees received in 2014 nearly doubled what they were in 2013 – increasing from $700,000 to $1.2 million – and that the wait time for such applications to be processed is several weeks longer than the ideal timeframe of six to eight weeks.

“Our review of the fees that are charged found that they do not reflect the costs of staff time to review the building permit applications,” Cooper told council. i see page 4

Vegetation removal not well communicated to residents, mayor says

We should have had bluff plan: Baldwin Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

City of White Rock engineers are working on plans for the future of the recently cleared Marine Drive hillside, the mayor confirmed this week, admitting that the city “did not do well” informing residents about the project.

No decisions have been made as to the layout, design or type of vegetation to be planted on the ‘hump,’ Mayor Wayne Baldwin said, insisting the more pressing matter is addressing the decades-old retaining walls at the top of the slope.

“The first priority is the retaining walls,” Baldwin told Peace Arch News Monday.

“Those things have to be fixed now, before we have an issue with it.”

City-contracted crews began removing shrubs, plants and trees along the bluff early last month, which took many residents – and at least two councillors – by surprise.

Signs posted along the railway fencing and

a bulletin on the city’s website indicated the vegetation removal work would focus on “maintaining slope stability, increasing line of sight and eradicating invasive species.”

When asked about the communication efforts leading up to the work taking place – described at last week’s council meeting by Coun. Helen Fathers as “piss poor” – Baldwin said the city could have done more.

“We should have had a plan that said, ‘OK, this is coming down and this is what it’s going to look like when it’s finished,’” Baldwin said.

“That would have been ideal, but we didn’t do that, not with any accuracy anyways, because we didn’t know what the ground is like.”

Baldwin pointed out that now that the vegetation has been removed, engineers are able to see the slope more clearly.

“We can see how best to do the landscaping plans for it, and that makes a lot of sense, actually, in terms of planning and designing,” he said.

Baldwin said the project has cussed in detail. been in the works for a number “All that I was ever aware of years, and was specifically disof was work described as cussed by council at their priority hump vegetation control,” planning session in February.

She said if the work Vegetation cleared.

Murder charge

Caillé to stand trial The man accused of killing White Rock resident Bruce Ridout in an altercation last summer has been ordered to stand trial.

Judge Gary Cohen made the ruling Thursday in Surrey Provincial Court, on the eighth day of the preliminary inquiry into the case against Jeffrey Caillé.

Caillé is charged with seconddegree murder, one count of assault causing bodily harm and two counts of assault in connection with Ridout’s death at a home in the 900block of Ash Street on Aug. 10.

The inquiry, held in French, got underway May 19 and had been scheduled to continue until June 2.

Caillé is now scheduled to appear in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster on July 9.

Greens, Liberals choose candidates for realigned South Surrey-White Rock riding

Two more join federal race to succeed Hiebert Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Two more candidates have joined the ranks of challengers for the South Surrey-White Rock seat in October’s federal election.

Larry Colero, a semi-retired business ethics consultant and self-professed social justice and peace advocate announced Thursday he will again run for the Green party.

And longtime political and social activist – and medical-cannabis advocate – Joy Davies was voted candidate for the Liberal party at a riding meeting Saturday at White Rock Community Centre.

Environmental lawyer Pixie Hobby was announced May 22 as the NDP candidate for the Peninsula riding, long considered a Conservative stronghold.

Former Surrey mayor Dianne

Larry Colero

Joy Davies

Watts announced in September that she would be running for the Conservatives in the realigned riding, following South SurreyWhite Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert’s decision not to run again after four terms.

Colero said in a news release that lessons learned in the 2011 election have influenced him to take a “contrarian approach” to campaigning, attempting “to do as

Pixie Hobby

Dianne Watts

many things as possible differently from other candidates.”

Colero said his low-cost ‘Counterpoint Campaign’ will refuse donations unless they are directed to the national party.

“It won’t place lawn-signs, distribute junk-mail flyers, interrupt dinners with door-to-door visits or use robocalls to redirect select voters to the wrong riding,” he said.

Colero noted that while the

Green party still has lots of signs from the last election that it could reuse, he plans to take a digital approach, campaigning by writing and responding to emails, issuing news releases and posting on blogs and social media.

“I think a lot of people will see value in doing things differently,” Colero said in his release. “With (Dianne) Watts running in a riding that has always elected ‘conservatives’ by a huge margin, I have nothing to lose by experimenting. Maybe there’s a more civilized, considerate, and democratic way to run a campaign; I don’t know, but I’m willing to challenge conventional party politics and see what happens.”

Davies – who has been campaigning to run for the Liberals since last year – has vowed to be a strong voice for the community, adding that her

own conversations with Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, which suggested he welcomes MPs to vote their “conscience and community,” convinced her the party was the best fit for her personal values.

The green light to represent the party on the Semiahmoo Peninsula had been sought by both Davies and philanthropist-fundraiser Dr. Peter N. Njenga.

Following the vote, Davies complimented Njenga on his hard work and welcomed his nomination team as part of her campaign.

A former Tumbler Ridge and Grand Forks councillor, Davies, who describes herself as “a mom and a grandmother,” is a White Rock resident. She is former director of government relations for the Canadian Medical Cannabis Partners Society.

i from page 1 The biggest proposed increase in building permit applications would be for demolition fees.

For a single-family dwelling or duplex, the city currently charges $100 for a demolition permit; under the proposed new fees, the permit would cost $1,000.

Cooper explained that a lot of the current redevelopment projects in White Rock involve the removal of an old single-family home, and described the work associated with such a demolition as “quite extensive,” and requiring staff inspections on site.

“These are significant increases, but they do accurately reflect the cost of staff time,” Cooper said.

Proposed increases to planningapplication fees – which Cooper described as “out of whack” compared to the costs associated with administering those applications – would also be significant, with some application fees more than doubling.

Tracy Holmes photo

The City of White Rock plans to increase fees for development.

“The whole process for reviewing development applications has become very time-consuming, because the developments have become more complex in White Rock,” Cooper said, pointing out that White Rock charges “significantly lower” application fees than other municipalities in the region.

Some of the more significant proposed application-fee increases include Official Community Plan amendments (from $2,400 to $5,000), amendment

of a land-use contract ($1,000 to $2,000), amendment or time extension for a major development permit ($500 to $2,500), amendment or time extension for a minor development permit ($300 to $1,200) and amendment to preliminary layout approval ($100 to $1,000).

Council voted unanimously last week to give first, second and third reading to the proposed amendments; a vote to adopt the fee increases is expected to take place June 15.

City working on good-neighbour policy to address impacts of construction

Street parking raises concerns for resident Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Tracy Holmes photo

Steve Holroyd says it’s only a matter of time before congested street parking results in tragedy.

At the same time, Cooper acknowledged, new construction can create concern for residents.

“The reality is, when there is new development going in, there will be increased traffic during the period of construction,” Cooper said.

She noted the city is working on a goodneighbour policy to determine how best to deal with the impacts that come with a major

construction project.

“I think we’ve learned from the projects we have (that) some improvements could be made,” she said. “I think we’re sympathetic to residents’ concerns and trying to make some improvements to our existing practices.”

Cooper noted that with major projects – such as that underway on the Evergreen Baptist campus on Oxford Street – the city requires the developer to come

for authorized vehicles only; it is often ignored, she noted.

“It’s been a real concern for me,” Fairweather said. “I’m

hoping that (Holroyd is) going to be successful.”

A White Rock man concerned that congested street parking is creating safety issues for residents and emergency crews alike wants the city to do more to enforce its parking regulations.

Steve Holroyd said he also wants to see curbs in front of residential buildings painted yellow, to ensure there is space reserved for emergency access.

Holroyd says the latter move is particularly important when there are multiple construction projects underway within close proximity that result in street parking being clogged with workers’ vehicles.

He says this is the case in his neighbourhood, bordered by North Bluff Road, Everall Street, Thrift Avenue and Oxford Street, where he’s seen firefighters and paramedics have to double-park on North Bluff to respond to emergencies, and even load patients in the face of oncoming traffic.

“All it would take is for one guy walking around that fire truck and somebody talking on a cellphone (while driving) and, whammo.

That would be a shame,” he said. “At the rate of speed people are travelling, something is going to happen and I don’t want to see that.”

Holroyd, who recently moved to the area from South Surrey, said he has been trying for weeks to get the city to address the issue.

Karen Cooper, the city’s director of planning and development services, said Monday that she wasn’t aware specifically of Holroyd’s concern, but noted that due to staffing resources, the city’s parking and bylaw officers respond to such issues on a complaint basis.

Cooper said that in the past year, she has spoken to just three people concerned about parking; none in the past month.

She also said consultation with White Rock’s fire chief did not identify any concerns.

“We do what we have to do,” chief Phil Lemire told Peace Arch News. “If we have to block a lane of traffic, we block a lane of traffic.”

up with a parking plan to accommodate construction. That can include partnering with an area church for use of space for overflow parking, she said.

With the start of the Cressey development “imminent” on Vidal Street, Cooper noted a plan was not required as on-street parking is permitted in the area.

Holroyd is not the only one with concerns.

Sundial Apartments manager Irene Fairweather told PAN she first raised the issue with the city more than a decade ago, after watching paramedics park and load patients in the traffic lane.

“I kept thinking this is going to be a disaster someday,” she said.

She gave up about five years ago, she said, because “I wasn’t getting any results.”

Since then, the issue has worsened, she said. She posted a sign about six months ago indicating space in front of the Sundial is

The NDP, unfortunately, has gone along with the basic thrust of this law.

The most principled opposition has come from Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver (Oak BayGordon Head), and independent Vicki Huntington (Delta South) has also been challenging the law.

The main purpose behind the law is to allow well-funded parties – notably the BC Liberals and NDP – to “mine” voter data and craft campaigns to encourage their own supporters to come to the polls, while at the same time (and likely quite secretly) coming up with ways of dissuading supporters of other parties from casting votes.

Along the way, they will be digging into voters’ privacy in a way that has caused the Information and Privacy Commissioner great concerns.

It is unfortunate that there has been so little attention paid to this. As Huntington noted after an amendment to the bill was defeated, “This bill won’t encourage voter participation. It will reinforce voter cynicism.”

The amendment, introduced by Weaver, called for a delay in implementing the law until there was more public consultation. The BC Liberal majority voted against it.

B.C. is, in some ways, the Wild West of politics.

There are no restrictions on donations from businesses, associations, wealthy individuals or unions to political campaigns. While there are limits on spending during campaigns, the most strategic spending is often done long before.

The amounts raised by the BC Liberals and the NDP are considerably more than is truly needed to properly run a campaign. The BC Liberals alone raised more than $10 million last year.

Now the political parties are being handed another tool that will allow them to hone their message and specifically target individuals.

Citizens should always be suspicious when governments bring in new laws that are not even on the radar screen for ordinary people. This law is designed solely to help those who are already hip-deep in politics.

There was no public outcry calling for political parties to be given more information about voters. This law is an invasion of privacy and will only lead to political manipulation, all in the name of winning an election.

So far this week you’ve said…

yes 18% no 82% 77 responding global audience.

Last week, I wrote about the plan by British manufacturing conglomerate Reckitt Benckiser to buy up farms in the B.C. Interior and replant them with trees.

Contrary to my description, “RB Trees for Change” isn’t participating in the dodgy European carbon-credit market.

They’re just doing it for global marketing purposes, covering pioneercleared farms of our colonial backwater with forest for 100 years so they can advertise their soaps and cold pills as carbon neutral. Another 10,000 hectares of B.C. “saved” from destruction by benevolent foreign interests!

Back to reality. B.C.’s auditor general issued a report last week calling on the province to do more to prevent the “cumulative effects” of industrial development. A familiar example of this is the struggle to maintain caribou herds in northern B.C. The B.C. government mustered a response from the multiple ministries that have worked on this since 2010.

Among other things, they noted that 90 per cent of B.C.’s vast area is now covered by regional land use plans created to manage cumulative impacts. A whopping 37 per cent of B.C. is designated as parks and protected areas for environmental and cultural values.

Maybe that’s still not good enough, but it’s better than anything I can find in Europe or the U.S. That’s particularly true of California, home of Hollywood, Silicon Valley, a pipeline spill, heavy oil refining and gridlocked freeways.

Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press newspapers. tfletcher@blackpress.ca The Peace Arch News is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers.

Enliven city Renewable with investment energy focus Editor: With a little imagination, White Rock could be turned into the mecca of B.C. White Rock is nice and quiet, where people go to buy an ice cream and walk along the promenade.

I’ve lived here for 30 years and I’ve loved it compared to many places. But, from a younger person’s perspective, I would think it kind of boring.

My early youth was spent in a seaside resort, and within our home we had quiet and privacy, but with five minutes of walking there was a pier twice as wide as the one in White Rock, made of concrete with a beautiful building with dance floor and place for a band.

The young folk came from miles around, bringing their girlfriends or wives.

There was no alcohol, but everybody had an enjoyable evening without it.

It brought such activity for the waterfront stores, and there wasn’t a 10th of the parking facilities that White Rock has.

It would cost millions, but it would put White Rock on the map, and property values would soar.

Donald C. Chivers, White Rock

Editor: Re: Nuclear technology eyed, May 22.

Premier Christy Clark is way offbase in promoting fusion power as a next step in the climate-change battle.

I certainly hope that the General Fusion company can develop a workable hydrogen fusion power reactor; if they can pull the required science and engineering together, that would be great.

Fusion power would be immeasurably safer than fission and, once it’s working, cheaper: changing hydrogen into helium is a

lot safer than turning uranium into plutonium.

We’ll definitely need fusion power for proper space exploration.

But fusion power is definitely not needed to help us reduce CO2 emissions from coal and oil; the technology to do this is already available through renewable energy from solar, wind, hydro and geothermal sources, and it’s is much cheaper – as WalMart CEO Bill Simon said last year, “The renewable energy we buy meets or beats prices from the grid.”

Already, 600 major organizations – including Intel, Staples, Kohl’s and Unilever – get 100 per cent of their energy needs in the U.S. from renewable energy.

Renewable energy is taking over: China already has enough rooftop solar power to supply the needs of

170 million of their households, and of course they’re installing more every month; Denmark already gets over 40 per cent of its electricity from windpower, and that electricity costs half the price of electricity from its coal or gas plants.

And, note, renewable energy systems create more immediate and long-term jobs than fracking or transporting coal and oil.

So if Clark truly wants to take a step forward in the climatechange battle, and if she wants to ensure more jobs for people in B.C., she should be supporting the installation of solar, wind, geothermal and tidal power in B.C., not just cheering on those scientists and engineers who are still working on fusion.

Grateful for ocean eyeline Editor: Re: ‘Hump’ clearing unacceptable, May 27 letters.

I can not disagree more with the letter writer’s comments.

We have lived on Marine Drive just above the ‘hump’ for over 20 years, and it is such a pleasure to have our oceanfront view returned as it was for many years (Bluff clearcut catches many off guard, May 13).

Traffic used to rush by on their way to the restaurants and shops and to Crescent Beach.

I sat on my patio just yesterday and watched many cars stop to take pictures and enjoy the view – which, I might add, is quite spectacular.

We are an oceanfront community.

Contrary to the letter to the editor, people now stop by the hundreds to take pictures and make exceedingly lovely comments.

The ‘hump’ is quite stable and will be even more so once the finishing touches have been completed.

From what I understand, it will be terraced and made more usable for all the people.

I thank the city council and mayor for their forward thinking.

The same people who make negative comments about this latest improvements are the same ones who criticized in volumes the development of the promenade.

We all know how popular the promenade is today.

Thank you once again to the mayor and council.

Surrey’s Biodiversity Conservation Strategy “talks the talk,” but the city fails to “walk the walk”, writes J. Zehner.

Interior comforts trump nature Editor: I would like to echo the opinions of many Ocean Park, Surrey and White Rock residents who have taken the time to voice their concerns about endless development.

I was particularly inspired by letter-writer Caroline McCue-Davies, who wrote “Surrey’s tree bylaw has failed Ocean Park residents” (Neighbours feel helpless, May 8 letters).

We are kidding ourselves if we believe for one moment that the City of Surrey has an interest in protecting neighbourhoods from chainsaw-happy developers. The joke is further realized when on the same day 80-year-old trees are levelled, you see City of Surrey crews lining our streets with new leafy trees.

On their own website, the city boasts about a Biodiversity Conservation Strategy that is intended to “preserve, protect and enhance Surrey’s biodiversity in the long term.”

Throughout this 130-page document they use a lot of text to tell us what we already know about the benefits of preserving nature and existing habitats.

I had to laugh when I read “raising public awareness of the value of these smaller habitats will encourage the

protection of nature in backyards and other developed areas.”

Imagine how surprised I was to learn they want to “work with landholders and developers to enhance natural habitat on private land.” Really? We are in a constant state of construction with trees falling daily and dump trucks carrying away tons of debris. These homes are created for a populous whose greatest concerns revolve around the interior comforts not the exterior habitat. They have a wish list of granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, low-maintenance landscape and a fully wired house for every devices imaginable.

It would be laughable if it wasn’t sad that many of these same people pay big money to travel elsewhere so they can relax and be impressed by nature.

I’m not opposed to development, I’m opposed to the seek-property-and-destroy mentality that exists today.

How is a landholder enhancing habitat when a home is built nearly touching gutter to gutter?

The City of Surrey talks the talk, but there is no way they walk the walk, otherwise they would see there is no protection of nature in our backyards.

Pattullo work to slow traffic

Commuters can brace for a year-and-a-half of worsened congestion starting next spring when TransLink closes half the lanes of the Pattullo Bridge for major repairs and shuts down the entire crossing at night and on weekends.

For 18 months likely beginning next April, the already heavily congested bridge will be reduced from four lanes to two on weekdays – one in each direction – and heavy trucks will be banned, along with cyclists and pedestrians.

B.C. Trucking Association president and CEO Louise Yako is urging the province to give at least trucks a break on tolls at the Port Mann to encourage them to use that crossing, rather than disrupting traffic further by diverting south to the Alex Fraser or Massey Tunnel to avoid tolls.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Annual event June 7 raises money for Avalon Recovery Society

‘Joy of living’ celebrated at fashion show Alex Browne

I

Staff Reporter

t’s a celebration of style, an embrace of positive possibilities and a salute to the joy of living.

Avalon Recovery Society’s annual Fashion Show and Tea this Sunday (June 7), 2-4 p.m. at the Semiahmoo Fish and Game Club, offers a chance to revel in an atmosphere of elegance, just for the sheer fun of it.

It’s a lighthearted event, but it has a serious subtext: the funds raised will go to continue the quiet, positive, reinforcing work of the society and the Avalon Women’s Centres – including White Rock – in helping women address addictions.

Since 2012, the White Rock branch has been providing women a safe and supportive environment for pursuing a range of strategies; a refuge that offers much-needed child-minding during regular sessions aimed at regaining control of their lives.

While not offering counselling, per se, the centres provide the support system needed for the women to break free from behaviours that can include everything from alcoholic and narcotic dependency to anorexia and bulimia.

Avalon White Rock manager Cindy Faulkner pointed out the fashion show and tea, hosted by Deani Kolybabi, is the fifth edition of the event – which actually predated the establishment of the local branch.

“We’re definitely growing – there are more visits to every meeting, a lot more first-time visits and a lot of women coming in with young children.”

Women who arrive at the homey, non-institutional White Rock Avalon centre for their first few visits are naturally apprehensive, she said. That’s dispelled when they discover they’re not alone in their struggles to manage life, Morrison said, and that there can be “a lot of fun in sobriety.”

“We do form a real sisterhood – we have a lot of social stuff, a lot of potlucks,” she said. “What really touches my heart is that moment when you see that they feel that it’s a safe place, when they feel comfortable enough to stand up and welcome another newcomer to the centre.

it was the last stop on Day 3 of a four-day trek to spread the message.

Launched five years ago, after Herar was denied entry to a Christmas party because he was South Asian, the message has been shared at about 100 schools so far – 16 in 11 cities this year alone.

In welcoming the team, Mayor Wayne Baldwin expressed appreciation for their efforts to discuss cultural diversity, encourage inclusion and “expand circles of friendship.�

Baldwin also shared a diversity experience of his own, talking about growing up in Kitimat after the war. People came from around the world to work there, he said. “My friends growing up were a mixed bag, to say the least,�

Baldwin told the cyclists. “We all forgot the stuff that happened during the war. We all

In a May 27 news release, Sources’ CEO David Young lauded the approval of $322,826 for Sources’ Essentials to Housing Support Services through the federal government’s Homelessness Partnering Strategy.

The funds will help cover the program’s operating expenses for 18 months.

Young had unofficially announced the funds’ reinstatement in April, without a firm dollar figure, at Sources’ annual gala – four months after receiving word that the funding had been cut.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Swamp City It’s (still) all about the South.

Randy Schultz’ new band, Swamp City, makes its Peninsula debut with a CD release party Saturday, June 13, at 8 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240.

As the name suggests, the Southern roots of the music are strong, but now with a wider range of influences than simply zydeco (although the washboard is still a part of it, and Schultz – formerly of Mojo Zydeco – admits he’ll still pick up the accordion once in a while).

Like all Schultz projects, the emphasis is on upbeat, feel-good, toe-tapping Southernstyle dance music – but it’s also agreeably eccentric, with some highly individual Schultz-built instruments, including a guitar with a license plate resonator, and a sophisticated version of the washtub bass.

Joining Schultz in Swamp City are such stalwarts of the local scene as Tony Rees (vocals, guitar, slide, harmonica) and Kat Wahamaa (vocals, guitar, mandolin and percussion) – a long-time duo as Kat and Tony – plus Mickey Hovan (Wheat In The Barley, bass) and Delta Joe Backus (Token Rhyme, Joe’s Basement) on drums.

The Crescent Branch is located at 2643 128 St. Tickets ($15) are available at Tapestry Music and at the legion, 604-535-1080.

mirth, mobster-style – featuring such ‘hits’ as My Way; New York, New York; Viva Las Vegas and He Ain’t Heavy (He’s My Brother) – directed by the singers’ musical director and accompanist Jonathan Wiltse and equipped with a cheeky script by Ron Flaterud.

Tickets are available from the legion,

Audience members have two ways to enjoy A Night of Passion: Gala Opera Concert & Silent Auction, a celebration and benefit for the re-launch of the Young People’s Opera Society of BC (Saturday, June 6 at Surrey Arts Centre’s studio theatre).

For $35 it can be viewed the traditional way, from the audience section. But for $45 you can sit right on stage with performers – and new YPOS artistic directors – Debra Da Vaughn (soprano) and Christopher Simmons (tenor).

They will be joined by mezzo-soprano Dionne Sellinger and baritone Andrew Greenwood, and musical director/pianist Angus Kellett.

The fun begins at 6 p.m. with a fundraising silent auction offering the potential for unheard-of bargain prices on such valuable items as a new Mason and Hamlin grand piano – likely available for just above cost – a Charles Walther upright grand, a giclee print from famous Hawaiian painter Fanny Bilodeau, plus tickets for sporting events; dance items, hotel stays, restaurant certificates, spa packages, and a deluxe evening at the Vancouver Opera.

Also included in the ticket price: a chance to meet the artists at a post-concert reception. To reserve tickets, call 604-5015566, or visit https://ticket.surrey.ca

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Southridge girls lose 2-1 in final game

Senior boys fourth after losing ‘insane’ game Saturday

Storm second

Mariners drop rugby tiebreaker

Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Southridge Storm senior girls soccer team are the secondbest team in B.C., after making it all the way to the finals of single-A provincials last week on their home turf.

The Storm – who went into the tournament as the host seed, after finishing second at Fraser Valleys – were edged in the provincial final 2-1 in extra time by Vernon’s Immaculata Spartans.

Southridge head coach Gordon Smith was impressed with his team’s performance, but admitted it still stings to lose in the manner in which they did.

“It was a really good result, for sure, but the closer you come to winning, the harder it is to take,” he said. “But Immaculata are twotime defending champions, and they’ve got a lot Grade 11 and 12 players, so for us to hold them off the scoresheet for as long as we did was pretty remarkable.”

The Storm – who boast a young roster full of Grade 8 and 9s, especially on defence and in goal – took an early 1-0 lead on a goal from Hannah Morrison, but the Vernon squad stormed back to tie the game in the second half.

The game then went to two seven-and-a-half minute extratime halves, and Immaculata scored in the second frame to earn the win.

“That second half, we were running on fumes a little bit. We tried to hold on, but we couldn’t,” Smith said. “But it was still a really good performance.”

In semifinals, the Storm defeated Victoria’s Glenlyon Norfolk School 2-0; Southridge earned an automatic spot in semifinals after finishing first in their division in pool play. During the pool games, Southridge defeated Fort St. John and Osoyoos Thursday before tying Whistler Friday.

Southridge Storm’s Stephanie Pak heads the ball during her team’s game Friday against Whistler.

It’s said in sports that a tie is like kissing your sister.

But for members of Earl Marriott Secondary’s senior boys rugby team, Saturday’s 22-22 deadlock against the arch rival Yale Lions was somehow even worse.

The Mariners ended up losing the game – which decided third-place at B.C. Senior Boys AAA Rugby Championships – on a tie-breaker, thus leaving them just off the podium.

Heading into provincials last week, EMS coach Adam Roberts had stated his team’s goal was a top-three finish. They were the tournament’s No. 4 seed, and had never finished higher than fourth overall in team history.

Now, they’ll have to wait another year. And Roberts was taking no solace in the fact that they essentially tied for third place. Yale was awarded third by virtue of scoring more converted tries than Marriott.

“You win or you lose, there’s no silver lining,” Roberts said.

“I didn’t even know what the tiebreaker rules were – I never took the time to read them because ties just never happen in rugby.”

The game was one of the most exciting of the Abbotsford-hosted tournament – far more dramatic than the gold-medal match, which saw Shawnigan Lake roll to an eighth straight B.C. title with a lopsided win over St. George’s.

The Marriott-Yale game was a back-andforth affair, and some of the game’s turning points were feats rarely seen in rugby.

Marriott jumped out to a 14-7 lead in the first half, and were primed to take a sevenpoint lead into halftime, until Yale attempted a late kick.

The kick ricocheted off the crossbar, and bounced to the left – right into the hands of Yale’s centre, who caught it and ran the ball in for a try, to make the score just 14-12 at the break.

“A play like that, you either make the kick, or you miss it and the play’s basically dead. i see page 20

Track provincials set to begin The top high school trackand-field athletes from South Surrey schools will be in Langley beginning tomorrow (Thursday) for BC Track and Field Championships.

The three-day event, which wraps up Saturday, is scheduled for Langley’s McLeod Athletic

Park and will include athletes from Grade 8 to Grade 12.

Athletes from the Semiahmoo Peninsula, as well as Cloverdale, are expected to fare well at provincials after strong showings at Fraser Valley Championships two weeks ago. Local teams had a slew of top-10 team

‘I’ve never seen a game like this’ i from page 19 It was a total fluke,” Roberts explained.

Yale rallied in the second half, and led EMS 17-14 with eight minutes to go, but a late Marriott converted try gave the Peninsula side a 22-17 lead with just one-and-a-half minutes remaining. A few more plays, and perhaps a kick out of bounds by the Mariners was all that was required to run out the clock.

“We just had to ice the puck,” Roberts said, stealing some hockey parlance.

Yale, however, came back in the waning seconds and scored a try right in the middle of the field – meaning the would-be conversion kick would be a relatively easy one, right in front of the uprights.

But the game would stay knotted at 22-22, after Marriott’s Tyson Smith charged out and blocked the kick – a play so rare in rugby that Roberts had never seen it in all his years involved in the sport.

“When they were lining up to kick it, I just thought, ‘Dammit, this is it. We’re gonna lose,’ and then that happened. I couldn’t

The game was then sent to sudden-death overtime – two five-minute periods, if necessary – and the first five minutes were uneventful.

In the second OT frame, EMS

had a chance to win it on a Liam Morrison drop-goal, but his kick glanced off the post.

“I’ve never seen a game like this before, ever. It was absolutely insane,” Roberts said.

“As a sports fan watching it, the game had everything you could possibly imagine, but it just sucks to be on the losing end.”

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

FAIRBAIRN, Davidson Craig April 25, 1934 to May 7, 2015 It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of Davidson Craig Fairbairn May 7th in White Rock, B. C. Born in Estevan, SK, Craig spent his early years between Estevan, Winnipeg and Calgary along with his beloved twin sister, Carol, and older brother, Don, whom pre-decease him. He loved their family pets and excelled in the sport of badminton and curling. Craig obtained a Degree in Architecture in 1957 from the University of Manitoba where he met his wife, Marilyn Fairbairn, who survives him. It was there he also met his lifelong “architectural buddies” Norm, Don, Jim and Don. He continued his passion for architecture and later established his own firm in Edmonton known as D. Craig Fairbairn Architects Ltd. Craig is also survived by his children Kimberlee Fairbairn, Kathleen Yip (Doug), Keith Fairbairn (Andrea) and Kent Fairbairn (Gina) and grandchildren Nicole, Zach, Ty, Alexander and Kristin. The Fairbairn family enjoyed their life in the city of Edmonton, their cottage at Pigeon Lake and the Edmonton Oilers. With a plan for retirement in B.C. Craig and Marilyn moved to the home they built in Crescent Beach in 1987.

He always looked forward to their annual snowbird getaway to Palm Desert with Marilyn, enjoyed golf with Norm at Fraserview, a game of crib, bridge or blackjack and a Bacardi and Sprite.

Craig maintained his resilience and sense of humour in his final days and kept his love for his family at the forefront.

There will be an honorarium gathering with family and friends at their home in the near future.

Born June 16th, 1939 in New Westminster BC, passed away peacefully May 15th, 2015.

She is survived by her husband Gordon of 51 years, daughter Patti (Kevin), step grandson Dominick, and many nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her son Greig in 1989.

Deidre will be best remembered for her quick and sharp wit, contagious laughter, fantastic cooking, “the famous chocolate chip cookies”, fun times at Deroche, golden glows, martini’s and happy hours. But mostly she will be remembered as a loving mother and wife and a great friend.

To celebrate Deidre’s life a “casual reception” will be held between 2-4 pm June 19th, 2015 at Sanford House in South Surrey, 1367 -128th St., Surrey (Ocean Park).

In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made in Deidre’s honour to the Greig Hunter Memorial Scholarship Fund through the Douglas College Foundation. www.douglascollege.ca
