RCMP deployment delay prompts more questions

‘Positive step’ yet to set foot in Surrey Alex Browne & Kevin Diakiw Staff Reporter / Black Press

Steven Blaney federal minister

The boots of 20 new RCMP officers bound for Surrey may be “on the ground,” as Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney assured Surrey-White RockCloverdale MP Russ Hiebert in the House of Commons last week. It’s just not Surrey ground. A check with Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner this week – who, in turn, checked with Surrey RCMP Officer-in-

Charge Bill Fordy – confirmed the current complement of officers in the city is 703; exactly where the figure stood on April 1 before Blaney’s announcement. Now Jasbir Sandhu, NDP MP for Surrey North – among party MPs who have been hammering the government for weeks for a date of deployment for the 100 new officers promised for the city – is accusing the Conservatives of playing pre-election politics with Surrey. “I think the Conservatives are playing

games with the safety of people in Surrey,” Sandhu said. “That’s shameless.” During question period on June 11, Hiebert asked Blaney to confirm that the first 20 of the new 100 had already been posted to Surrey. “The people of my community want to be able to enjoy life without fear of gang-related violence in their neighbourhoods, and they know that only our Conservative Government can deliver on a solid tough-on-crime agenda,”

Hiebert said. “Can the Minister of Public Safety update this House, as to the situation on the ground in Surrey?” “I am pleased to announce that the deployment of the first 20 members committed to Surrey is underway and that boots are already on the ground,” Blaney replied. In a news release following the exchange, Hiebert said “I’m pleased to be part of a government that lisi see page 4

White Rock’s Memorial Park could see a million-dollar upgrade after council voted to apply for a federal grant that would see the unsuccessful 2008 Spirit Square proposal revived.

White Rock bureaucrats scramble to shift focus of federal-grant request to waterfront

Civic leaders resurrect plans for Spirit Square Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

The City of White Rock is resurrecting previously abandoned plans for a million-dollar Spirit Square at Memorial Park on the waterfront, in light of a grant opportunity from the federal government. City staff presented a report at Monday’s council meeting, outlining options for projects the city could use to apply for a Canada 150 Community Infrastructure grant –

a program celebrating the country’s 150th anniversary that offers federal grants of up to $500,000 for “projects that celebrate our shared heritage, create jobs and improve quality of life for Canadians.” Based on criteria for applications – due to be submitted within two days – staff recommended council endorse three proposals, in order of priority: a civic-plaza upgrade near city hall, a Centre Street walkway and parks-trail signage replacement.

Members of council, however, had other plans. Coun. Grant Meyer said he had “a bit of a problem” including the Centre Street walkway project – which is already a part of the city’s financial plan at a cost of $800,000 – noting that preliminary discussions have already taken place for a “funicular” (hillside people-mover) that would negate the need for the walkway. “I don’t think it would be wise to

invest any money in a walkway until we get some initial planning and reports on (the funicular),” Meyer said. “I would like to include… a renovation and rehabilitation of Memorial Park down on the waterfront. We all know White Rock’s waterfront is the jewel of the city.” Coun. Lynne Sinclair agreed with Meyer’s suggestion of a waterfront project on the grassy area near the pier, pointing out that several community festivals use the site.

Sinclair said that when she heard days earlier about the grant opportunity, she spoke with SurreyWhite Rock MLA Gordon Hogg about a previous proposal for a Spirit Square at Memorial Park that never came to fruition. “It seemed natural to me, if there was already work done on such a plan – and it turns out there is, there’s an architectural beautiful plan,” Sinclair said. i see page 8

$28.2 million recovered by provincial ministry since 2009

Some criminals charged for health care Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Recovering health-care costs from criminals who put others in hospital is already happening, Black Press has learned. On Monday, Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said that she wanted to see the province’s civil forfeiture legislation changed to allow B.C. to recover health-care costs from criminals who’ve been shot. Hepner is frustrated with the lack of cooperation, and sometimes outright mocking of police, by victims injured in the recent rash of shootings in Surrey and North Delta. Since March, more than 30 incidents of gun violence have occurred in the streets, with many tied to an ongoing drug turf battle over dial-a-dope operations. And those being hurt are not co-operating with police. One shooting victim told police “the bul-

lets fell from the sky,” while another said “I will take care of it myself.” Hepner wants to recover health-care costs from unco-operative victims. Suzanne Anton, B.C.’s attorney general and minister of justice, said she understands Hepner’s frustration. But Anton also said in the scenario described by Hepner, the Civil Forfeiture Act would not apply. Civil forfeiture involves taking action against property, not people, when that property has been determined to be a proceed of crime. However, Hepner’s plan has some legs at the B.C. Ministry of Health, where officials say it would be possible under the Health Care Cost Recovery Act (HCCRA). Since 2009, when the HCCRA was enacted, the government has collected $28.2 million from criminals who ring up hefty health-

care costs. Hepner said Wednesday her plan Last year alone, the ministry would only be used if the victims opened more than 3,000 files. had gone through the court system For the cost recovery to take place, and were found guilty of a crime the person who committed the that landed them in the hospital. crime must be identified and crimiThe rationale behind the idea, she nally convicted. said, is to prod parents of uncoThe health ministry typically operative patients who are minors charges the perpetrators who put a to name suspected shooters in order person in hospital, but it could conto avoid medical bills.

Non-essential federal funds withheld from First Nation Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

As the next deadline for First Nations to file expense and remuneration information approaches, Semiahmoo First Nation remains one of 12 bands in Canada that have yet to comply with the initial demand last fall. However, officials with the Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development say they have no plans at this time to take the band to court over the matter. “We are only withholding funding for non-essential programs, ❝We are only services and withholding activities the band funding for until complies,” non-essential a ministry programs, spokesperson services and said by email Tuesday. activities until the band “Please complies.❞ contact the First Nation directly Ministry of for more Aboriginal information.” Affairs Semiahmoo councillor Joanne Charles told Peace Arch News in November that the band had “complied with what we needed to” by the stipulated deadline. Charles could not be reached for additional comment this week. The Semiahmoo were among 582 First Nations who were given until midnight last Nov. 26 to file the details, as mandated by the First Nations Financial Transparency Act. The act became law in March 2013, and documents that are filed as required are posted to the ministry website – as are the names of non-compliant bands. The next deadline is July 29.

White Rock city manager Dan Bottrill addresses a crowd of about 70 that turned out to hear the city’s options for taking over its water utility.

Expropriation cited by White Rock leaders for utility acquisition

Water negotiations ‘not going well’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Negotiations between the City of White Rock and water supplier Epcor over control of the utility are “not going well,” and the time has come to explore other options, including expropriation, officials announced Tuesday. “We have been negotiating now for the better part of two years,” Mayor Wayne Baldwin told a crowd of about 70 people that turned out to the White Rock Community Centre for an update on the effort and an opportunity to provide feedback on next steps. “Enough is enough. We’ve got to do something now.” Epcor spokesman Tim LeRiche was not at the meeting but told Peace Arch News Wednesday that he could not speak to how the negotiations are going. “Basically, it’s business as usual for us. We respect the right of the community to consider options for its future regarding water structures,” LeRiche said. The city announced its intention to explore acquiring the water utility in March 2013.

Three months later, they gave notice to Edmonton-based Epcor of their intention to assume ownership, and directed staff to commence negotiations. Given the “disappointing” progress of negotiations, expropriation is among three options the city now has, city manager Dan Bottrill told attendees Tuesday. They can also continue to negotiate, or exercise their contractual right to acquire the utility. With negotiation, there is no guarantee of success, he said; and, both of the latter options would be lengthier endeavours. Bottrill described expropriation of assets for municipal purposes as one of the city’s statutory rights. And while it could require a finding by the court – only if the parties can’t agree on fair market value – it would be the quickest route to acquiring the utility. “The big advantage is you acquire it now,” Bottrill said. The majority of residents who spoke were supportive of the city owning its water system. Hannah Newmann described expropriation as “really your only answer,” and questioned

how much it would cost – an amount Bottrill estimated at $20 million. The money, he said, would be borrowed through the Municipal Finance Authority – which would mean a lower interest rate fixed over a longer term – and likely paid off over 30 years. Ken Jones, a former city councillor and MLA, also agreed with expropriation, but said land on Oxford Street owned by Epcor and currently being eyed for a two-tower residential development should also be claimed in the move and used to bolster White Rock’s parkland. “The value of that land is only in its rezoning and that’s totally in the hands of the city. We should seriously look at that,” Jones said, to applause. Bottrill, however, said that parcel would not likely be part of an expropriation and “should be treated like anybody else who owns property and wishes to develop it.” Another resident questioned the condition of the water system, and the risks of taking that on. i see page 4

yet to swell the ranks in the city. At Peace Arch News press time, a representative for Hiebert said a clarification on the deployment was being sought from Blaney’s office and was expected soon. Hiebert was not available for comment at press time. Speaking in the house on June 4 – a week before Hiebert’s question and Blaney’s announcement – Sandhu claimed the Conservatives’ pledge was merely an

empty campaign promise, and called for Blaney to provide a clear timeline for deployment. In his June 11 announcement, Blaney fired back, accusing Liberals and the NDP of voting against some 30 new “common sense” measures to crack down on crime introduced by the Conservatives, including “new prison sentences for drive-by shootings.” “They should be ashamed,” Blaney said.

i from page 3 Epcor is in the midst of $11-$12 million of upgrades to the system, prompted by contamination in 2010 that led Fraser Health to order the system be chlorinated by June 2016. Chlorination is estimated at 30 per cent of the cost. The rest of the work is to include a reservoir on Oxford Street and a new reservoir on Merklin Street. Should arsenic and manganese levels rise, treatment for those issues would add an estimated $10 million to the cost, Bottrill said. He said the upgrades are inevitable, regardless of who owns the system. The benefit of ownership, he noted, is control. Bottrill said another advantage of owning the utility is that the city cannot legally profit from

it. With no change in ownership, however, Epcor is projecting a profit of $428,000 in 2015 and $878,000 in 2017, the final year of its Total Water Quality Management Project – and all of those funds will go straight to Edmonton. Resident Andrew Schulz said he also supported acquiring the utility but only if White Rock hooks up to Metro Vancouver’s system. Schulz cited the potential for liability should a substantial issue with arsenic or manganese develop, but Bottrill said liability is “a non-issue for a municipality.” As well, once the utility is acquired, the option to tie in to the Metro system will be available for “forever and a day.” One resident expressed concern that the city would contract

out the utility’s operation, as they have with “everything else.” Another, Sharleen Hamm, encouraged the city to try mediation. Only one resident spoke in favour of maintaining the status quo. Gordon Hammond – noting he is a “friend of Epcor” – said he has never had a problem with Epcor’s service or the cost of it. “I’m quite happy to keep Epcor,” Hammond said. Bottrill told PAN Wednesday there is no firm timeline for a decision on next steps, however, “what I heard was, get it done and the sooner, the better.” He expects to have a report and recommendation ready for council’s next regular meeting, which takes place Monday (June 22).

– urged “White Rock/South Surrey residents and also any friends/ family who can help” to fill out the survey. The company, Elegant Development, later sent out an email clarifying that the survey was only intended for White Rock residents and business owners, and told PAN the first email was sent “with the best intentions.” On Monday, Cooper sought council’s endorsement for establishing an ‘Official Community Plan Working Group,’ comprising various stakeholders. The working group’s objectives would include “promoting transparency and public participation and representing the opinions and needs of people and groups.” Members are to be selected by Cooper and staff, a detail that prompted questions from council. “Is there a reason why council won’t have a say in these appointments?” Coun. Megan Knight asked. Cooper explained she felt strongly that in the early stages the city shouldn’t have “political representation” on the group. “It’s really important that it not be viewed or considered a political process,” Cooper said. Council voted unanimously to endorse creation of the working group. The city aims to have a updated OCP by the fall of 2016.

Concert series should hit all the right notes

new vibe coming to White Rock’s waterfront this summer may be just what’s needed to breathe life into the seaside city year-round. The TD Concerts at the Pier summer series – launched officially last week with performances set to get underway July 4 – is touted as an opportunity for emerging artists to show their stuff; one that will appeal to all ages while boosting White Rock’s profile as a venue for up-and-coming artists. White Rock’s waterfront has long been a draw for visitors near and far. On hot summer days – and even on cooler, bright days in the spring and fall – the promenade and pier are often bustling, and grassy stretches from East Beach to West quickly fill with families, individuals and couples looking to take in the stunning horizon, crisp salt air and general ambience. Adding entertainment to a menu that already includes views, a variety of dining options and fun in the sun is not a new concept. Artists of all kinds are a regular feature, as are buskers sharing their musical passions. The array of organized waterfront affairs such as the Moon Festival and Diwali Festival has also increased in recent years, adding a multicultural element that has gone a long way to raising White Rock’s profile as a community worth visiting. The professional approach to the concert series is a welcome step. While grassroots efforts in the past have added valuable flavour to the waterfront – and will, most certainly, continue to – new organization, backed by a sustained source of funds, will inevitably ripple through both audience and industry, raising White Rock’s status as a desirable venue both to place artists, and to catch high-calibre performances. For the average resident, the series may simply be further confirmation that White Rock is a place worth spending time in. But the professional touch may be just what’s needed to convince those who have so far shied away from venturing in this direction. If they like what they see and experience – and there’s no reason to believe they won’t – odds are, they’ll share it with those around them. A positive note, indeed.

appointed – exemplifying honour? Clearly, this ‘honour system’ has its failings, whether among elected officials and appointees looking for a handout, journalists looking out for number one and employees seeking to take advantage of a sick day. But this doesn’t have to mean the system is to blame, does it? I have to believe that most of us conduct ourselves with integrity. Any other explanation leaves me hopeless. I’ve tried to instill honesty in my children, yet I have concern that if they act virtuously, they’ll risk being left behind. We’ve all been told that cheaters never prosper, an axiom that ultimately fails when put to the test. Assuming the Senate scandal ends with some sort of determination that the rules are indeed to blame – not the individual senators and the political leaders who appointed them – what are we to tell our children? The only saving grace is that while all eyes should be on the red chamber right now, they’re not. Even those who make the effort to vote seem to have relegated it less important than the other news that dominates national headlines. But in answer to the earlier rhetorical question about who wouldn’t take the full three months of sick time, regardless of sickness, I can tell my children that I wouldn’t. I just hope I’m not alone.

Don’t count on school district Editor: Re: No reduction in EAs, June 10. I am responding to your front-page story last week about ‘35 new hires’ the Surrey School District is doing for educational assistants (EAs). Having been an EA for almost 17 years, I found this article an insult and fabrication. The actual new hire numbers may be correct, but will those new hires actually get any hours or be able to support themselves? With all the cutbacks this year, which will be effective in September, I don’t see that possible. Of all my EA friends at other schools, as well as mine, on average our EA hours have been cut in half. People with 13 years seniority are being let go and will be having to apply for other positions, which I’m sure won’t be many. The school district is feeding the public false information and not telling the real truth. Parents have to advocate for their special-needs children – and all children – if they want to see real progress. Lisa Snickars, Surrey

We agree that the huge increase in the crow population is the main reason. We believe people feeding the crows and exposed garbage are the main causes for this problem. The City of White Rock is a big contributor. Most residents are unaware that White Rock dumps its rotting residential kitchen waste into open containers and on the ground, in the middle of a residential neighbourhood, using this yard as an unapproved transfer station. They leave a banquet for all vermin to access throughout the day and even some nights and weekends. Dumping garbage in the middle of a residential neighbourhood in a city of two square miles does not make sense, especially since it still has to be taken to the proper approved facilities and is a health hazard. No wonder we have a murder of crows here! We are heartened that the city

is looking at ways to change and improve this situation. The June 30 community forum will be our chance to speak up and ensure White Rock gets out of the garbage business, as most of our neighbouring municipalities have done. We urge you to let your voices be heard! Save our songbirds and our ‘City by the Sea’ at the same time. Diane & Dave Bradley, White Rock

Speak out on trash issue Editor: On June 30, the City of White Rock is finally giving residents a chance to hear about plans for single-family garbage and recycling services. Our White Rock mayor and city council are seriously considering privatizing these services. Despite the fact that the city has already sought proposals from private contractors, this will be the first chance for residents to hear about plans and have their say. As president of the city workers who provide garbage, recycling and green-waste collection for almost

Explanations for the birds Editor: Re: Crows warrant a major recount, June 10 letters; Doing nothing puts birds at risk, May 29 letters. Recent letters about the evils of crows in our community are quite appalling and uninformed. Crows seem to be getting the blame for everything bad that is happening in our neighbourhoods. The decline of songbirds; loud and aggressive behavior; the ‘pitbull of birds’? What next? Crows seen robbing a bank? In University of Washington professor John Marzluff ’s book, Subirdia, we learn that the decline of songbirds is mostly due to us! A look around our neighbourhoods reveal that there is very little natural and native habitat left for songbirds. We have destroyed most of it with herbicides, pesticides and rampant development. A songbird would have to pack a lunch to survive in most of our neighbourhoods these days. House cats are responsible for the deaths of billions of songbirds each year and squirrels, jays, hawks, other birds and even mice raid nests of eggs as well. Crows are so intelligent that they will remember your face for years. They live in family units and are loyal, protective parents and family members. We have tried poisoning to shooting them, yet they are still willing be our friend. If you want to make a good friend, just throw a crow a peanut. You will have a friend for life. It’s time to cast off the ignorant old ways of thinking about our friend the crow and embrace the joy that they can give to us all. Brad Wellman, Surrey

Letter-writer Roger Crowther will forever be grateful to an unknown stranger.

Looking at a ‘miracle’ Editor: Do you believe in miracles? Me? Always been a bit of skeptic. But something miraculous happened to me recently, and I want to share it with you. Last September, I began going blind in both eyes and, by November, was almost totally without sight. This happened very suddenly, and it’s an understatement to say I was shocked and full of anxiety. However, with the assistance of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB), my friends, and my family, I began to adjust to my new circumstances. Slowly some sight returned to one eye. The staff at the White Rock branch of the Fraser Valley Regional Library were incredibly helpful, too, and set me up with ‘Daisy’, a digital playback device for the visually impaired that allowed me to enjoy

audio books. And my name was added to the list of those awaiting live corneal tissue transplants. Sometime during the last week of May, a stranger passed away. But they left something very special behind, the donation of their corneas to the Eye Bank of B.C. On May 29, I received one of the corneas and now have experienced the miracle of my sight being fully restored to my left eye. Saying a simple ‘thank you’ to this generous stranger and their family hardly seems adequate. I will never know their name or be able to reminisce about their life, but I will forever be grateful. When I registered to be an organ donor, I never really appreciated the importance of my actions. But now I know I can bring a miracle to someone else. Be an organ donor. Roger Crowther, White Rock

4,000 White Rock homes, I know the value of keeping this service publicly delivered. Your city workers not only work here, many of us live here. We care about our community. We have heard from many residents who don’t want garbage and recycling to be privatized. They are concerned that private contractors will mean declining and inconsistent service, paying more for less service, less accountability and less concern for the environment. There’s a lot at stake, and it is important that our mayor and council hear from you. We hope to see you June 30 at the White Rock Community Centre, 5:30-7:30 p.m. Mike Guraliuk, CUPE 402-01

Left-lane use on gov’t shoulders Editor: The provincial government has now enacted a law to compel motorists to drive in the right-hand lane of freeways unless they are in the process of passing. The government has to shoulder some of the blame why drivers use the left lane to excess. It has to do with on-ramps on freeways where drivers don’t speed up to the traffic flow. They enter at a speed that is often 20 km/h less than the traffic-flow speed. This is either because the slow enterers don’t know, or that the on-ramp is not long enough for all vehicles to attain the proper speed. When a slow vehicle enters the flow, it has often a tail of vehicles behind it forced to do the same. The same thing happens in reverse near off-ramps that are too short. Motorists are forced to slow down the highway flow or stomp on the brake as soon as one is out of the flow. Either way is not good traffic management. Motorists know these slowdowns occur and get in the left lane before it becomes impossible to do so. Harmen Kooyman, Surrey

Wonderful people Editor: I would like to thank all of the wonderful people who stopped to offer help, comfort and support after a BMW SUV hit my CRV head on at the intersection of 152 Street and King George Boulevard on the morning of May 5 while on my way to work at Peace Arch Hospital. I was hurt, shaken, badly bruised and had excruciating pain in my head – but all of you made me feel like everything was going to be OK while waiting for fire and ambulance to arrive. A man named Joe also called my husband from the scene. I don’t know all of your names to thank you personally, but I am forever grateful for how you made me feel and to offer help during those terrifying moments after the crash. Thank you ever so much! Lori McIntosh, North Vancouver

i from page 1 “I would prefer that one be the number 1 priority.” Mayor Wayne Baldwin said he was “very conflicted” about how to proceed, noting that although the waterfront “made a lot of sense,” the past controversy was cause for concern. “I didn’t follow the stuff that went on, but it was a very divisive discussion, I was told by the council of the day, and it failed,” Baldwin said. “There must be some reason it failed.” Baldwin weighed the fact that Memorial Park is not city-owned land – the BNSF lease is set to expire in 2023 – and the fact that council was being pressed to decide on a “million-dollar question” on such short notice. The mayor also said he felt government grants such as the one being offered “seduce you” into projects that aren’t in the city’s current plans. “You end up spending public money on something that wasn’t a priority in the first place, but now because a grant is available, all of a sudden it becomes a priority, and I don’t think that’s right,” Baldwin said.

St. Germain is now under fire for some of his expenses, which have been highlighted by auditor general Michael Ferguson in his report into spending by senators. He is one of nine singled out in the report and was referred for further investigation. In a response, St. Germain stated he believes he has done nothing wrong. Nonetheless, it is obvious the rules regarding spending by senators were and are notoriously lax. St. Germain was singled out for having the Senate pay to bring a number of people to his 50th wedding anniversary at Hazelmere Golf and Tennis Club in 2011. Among those on hand for that event was the PM. Canadians, fed up with government waste, have been particularly unhappy about the way senators spend tax dollars. It is likely few Surrey residents would object if the Senate disappeared entirely. That will take some doing, as it requires agreement by every single provincial government, but it may happen yet if the Senate’s indifference towards taxpayers continues. Frank Bucholtz writes Fridays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

callops topped with flecks of 24-carat gold, fruit layered between custard and pastry, and salmon and radish carefully sliced and assembled into a rose. The photos of Sara Wang’s culinary creations are a reflection of her belief – that cooking is not just an activity, it’s an art. “I think that’s important – make the food like the art,” the South Surrey resident said. “It’s not as hard as you think.” Last month, Wang took her passion for cooking to a new level, at the Hong Kong International Culinary Classic, where she won the International Best Creativity Award and the International Gourmet Lady Master Chef Award. It was the mother of two’s first venture into competitive cooking. Wang said she was up against more than 100 people in

the three-day event, and won with a dish she prepared using lobster from New Brunswick. Wang said she was committed to represent the best of Canada with Canada’s best food, and “the judges approved.” “I’m very proud of Canada, very good

quality,” she said. Wang, 46, moved to Canada from Taiwan with her husband and two daughters – and a plethora recipes – in 2012. For 20 years prior, she had a business that focused on healthy eating; from finding good cookware to producing videos that teach people how to make healthy food. The move to Canada was for the benefit of her daughters’ education, but the opportunity it created to focus on cooking was not lost on her. While in business, Wang didn’t have time to cook, and the result was feeling and looking less healthy, she said. “When I move here, I want to change my life. I want to cook for my family,” she said. But, as she had not cooked before, the change did not happen overnight. In the beginning, “even rice, I cannot cook,” she said.

Inspired by the quality of fresh local food available in Canada, however, Wang persevered, and now, every meal is a work of art. Presentation, she noted, is part of the eating experience. “People say that very elegant, beautiful will make you more… eager” to eat each meal, she said. Wang also shares her passion for food in a column – Sara’s Fusion – that runs in the Vancouver edition of the Chinese-language World Journal. She described food as the first step to knowing Canada, and that exchanging dishes was a good way to get to know her neighbours. Wang said her success in Hong Kong followed two months’ of preparation and daily practice. It also made her realize her own potential. “I think it’s a really good chance for my life,” she said. “It’s inspired me.”

Resident-based group Communities and Coal is organizing two MP candidate forums to discuss the contentious issue of shipping U.S. thermal coal through B.C. communities. But only NDP candidate Pixie Hobby and Liberal candidate Joy Davies have confirmed participation at the Semiahmoo Peninsula meeting, scheduled for 7 p.m., June 24 at Ocean Park Community Hall (1577 128 St.). Organizer Paula Williams said in a press release that Green Party candidate Larry Colero will be out of town, while Conservative Party candidate Dianne Watts has declined on the basis that proper protocol for candidates for the 2015 federal election is to wait until the writ is dropped. However both Colero and Watts will provide statements on their positions on the issue to be shared at the

forum. Current MP Russ Hiebert, who announced last year he would not run again, was also invited, but declined because he will be in Ottawa. Guest speaker Nick Mullins, a former U.S. coal miner-turned climate-change activist will talk about his ‘Breaking Clean’ tour. The second forum, June 26, is for Delta and Surrey Centre MP candidates, and will be held at Trinity Church (11040 River Road, Delta). So far only NDP candidates and a Green Party representative have confirmed attendance. Williams, co-founder of Communities and Coal, which is currently challenging Port Metro Vancouver in federal court over the Fraser Surrey Docks coal permit approval, said the forums will provide an opportunity not only for candidates to share their ideas but also to hear from potential voters.

uestion: I convinced my mom to put her house in joint tenancy with me about ten years ago. She lived in it alone for most of that ten years and she has now passed away. The house is in White Rock and is now worth at least half a million more than when I got half. I am congratulating myself for my foresight because I have avoided the probate fees and a lot of the costs of probating the rest of her estate. nswer: Not so fast. The accountants that I deal with say that you are required to pay capital gains tax on the $250,000 increase of your half. It could be as much as 23% depending on your marginal income tax rate. My calculator says you will owe Revenue Canada as much as $57,500, which would not be payable if you left the house in your mom’s name.

STOR-X tries new strategy at White Rock home

Installation franchiser tests a new approach Alex Browne Staff Reporter

A White Rock luxury home has set the stage for a new approach to marketing for a Richmond manufacturer. STOR-X, a franchiser for custom-built room and closet installations, is moving to generate business among new home builders. In this approach, the company arranges a partnership between one of its franchisees and a builder of up-market homes. The resulting STOR-X installation adds value to the home, while serving as a showcase for STOR-X’s product and the franchisee’s expertise. A test for the concept was a home recently completed by Niebuhr Construction in the 14300-block of Blackburn Avenue, for which Surrey-White Rock franchisee James Abbott supplied custom closet installations. STOR-X president Wolf Nickel said the approach is an asset for the company’s franchisees, who are “primarily home-based businesses.” “When they go to home shows, they are practising their skills in dealing with clients, but they don’t usually have practical demonstrations there of what they can do. “This is a more proactive way of going after business.” Nickel said the approach is the latest step in a 25-year plus evolution of the company, which started out designing and selling storage solutions and upgrades directly to consumers. “In 1996-97, we decided we wanted to grow so we adopted a manufacturer to dealer

The company exported a lot of its product during this period, he added, until 2008 “when the U.S. market dried up overnight.” To its advantage, he said, STOR-X had established a proven business concept with its dealers, to the point that “we were almost acting a franchiser.” Going into the

He said working with Abbott to add closest installations for the master bedroom added even more value to the home. “It’s worked out

well, and hopefully it’s helped Wolf out with his marketing. It’s a real home that is staged – it shows very well. “It’s an opportunity to showcase their product

in a way that an average homeowner wouldn’t spend out on. From our standpoint, we get upgraded closets, while they can promote their product. It’s a win-win.”

franchise business was a logical next step as a vehicle for STOR-X’s product, he said, while noting “it’s not an easy thing to do.” Since launching that phase in 2011, the operation has expanded rapidly to 10 franchisees in Western Canada between Winnipeg and B.C. “We feel we’re on the right track and we’ve got really good franchisees,”

Nickel said. The new home approach has developed through work with marketing consultant Neil Godin, he said. “Through brainstorming, Theresa Thom came up with the idea of the showcaseshow-home concept – Neil is big on event marketing, and it’s really easy to invite people to an event.” Jim Niebuhr, marketing manager of Niebuhr Construction, said the $3.2-million 5,100 square-foot, seven bedroom view home on Blackburn Avenue is “very much high-end.” “It has a decent view of the ocean, with bedrooms on the main floor – a very wideopen concept with lots of deck space; great for entertaining and technologically very up-to-date.”

Thefts have been reported at six Lower Mainland hospitals, including at Surrey Memorial.

Patients targeted at as many as six sites

We know how hard you worked to reach graduation day, and now it’s time to celebrate your accomplishments. We wish you a happy and successful future.

Hospital thieves blended in Jeff Nagel Black Press

A ring of thieves is thought to have preyed on patients in as many as six Lower Mainland hospitals, including Surrey Memorial and Royal Columbian. One suspect was recently arrested and two others are under investigation after staff at Vancouver General Hospital spotted them June 2 and alerted security. A description had previously been circulated after the trio were seen at other sites, including B.C.

Cancer Agency facilities, wearing hospital scrubs and stolen ID to blend in with staff. That tactic isn’t entirely unusual, according to John Acorn, director of operations for the Lower Mainland health authorities’ Integrated Protection Services. “I’ve seen individuals trying to blend in,” he said. “What makes this one a little bit more unique is we were able to confirm multiple people working in concert. “Rarely have we seen this kind of organized or targeted theft in our environment.”

Typically, Acorn said, thefts from hospital are relatively uncommon and, when they happen, tend to be crimes of opportunity involving small, easily concealed items, such as wallets, small electronics and jewelry. He credited staff for spotting the intruders and reminded patients and visitors not to bring valuables to the hospital and to report any suspicious behaviour. The main suspect had 52 outstanding offences, including a Canada-wide warrant, while the other two are known to police.

Widespread violations make impoundment ‘difficult’

Stiffer fines, sanctions eyed for distracted drivers Jeff Nagel Black Press

The province is considering stiffer fines and possibly vehicle impoundments or prohibitions to get distracted drivers to put down their cellphones and devices. Motorists caught

using a hand-held device face $167 fines and – since last fall – three driver penalty points. “We took a first step and increased the penalties last fall and now we’re looking at possible changes to the legislation, including

more severe penalties,” Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said. A four-week online consultation period is open until July 16 to gather public opinion on whether tougher measures are needed. Comments are being collected at engage.gov.

bc.ca/distracteddriving. Besides potential vehicle impoundments or driver prohibitions, the site asks if texting drivers should be punished more severely, and possibly new drivers and repeat offenders as well. Five years after distracted driving fines were introduced in B.C., many drivers continue to ignore the law. Police issued 55,100 tickets last year to drivers caught using an electronic device behind the wheel – an increase from 53,000 in 2013. ICBC estimates 9,500 drivers in B.C. are using a hand-held device at any given time and 40 per cent are texting or emailing as they drive. The B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police supports escalating fines or sanctions, particularly for multiple repeat offenders, said Transit Police Chief Neil Dubord who chairs the chiefs’ traffic committee.

File photo

Distracted drivers could face stiffer fines. But he said the widespread disregard for the cellphone law makes it difficult to see how officers could impound vehicles – at least on a first offence – without being accused of selective, unfair enforcement. “The impoundment of vehicles is difficult because of the large numbers,” said Dubord, who is taking over as chief of Delta Police later this month. “When people are speeding at double the limit speed limit a threshold is broken which can then lead to

the impounding of the vehicle.” He said he believes prohibitions should be considered, but only for the worst repeat offenders. The chiefs’ association doesn’t have a formal position on prohibitions, nor has it adopted the stance that texting is worse than hand-held phone calls. According to research cited by the province, texting or using a smartphone while driving is more distracting than talking on one, resulting in up to 23 times higher crash

risk for drivers who text. Speed and distraction are now the top two factors contributing to crash deaths, ahead of third-ranked alcohol. B.C.’s distracted driving fines are the second lowest in Canada. Nova Scotia has the highest, climbing from $234 to $579 on the third offence, and Ontario is about to double its maximum fine from $500 to $1,000. Saskatchewan impounds the vehicle for seven days if the driver has had two or more distracted driving tickets within the last year. Dubord said police are also concerned about the increasing use of in-dash video screens that allow the passenger, and often also the driver, to watch movies. He said officers are also wary of other new and distracting technology, from Google Glass to the Apple Watch.

COMMUNITY CHARTER, S.B.C. 2003, CHAPTER 26 NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DISPOSE OF CITY PROPERTY SECTIONS 26 AND 94 Pursuant to Sections 26 and 94 of the Community Charter, S.B.C. 2003, Chapter 26, as amended, the City of Surrey hereby gives notice of the intention to dispose of the following CD zoned, single family building lot:

Dianne Dickinson photo

Failure to stop

Civic Address:

7572 – 146 Street, Surrey, BC

Legal Description:

PID No.: 023-621-290; Lot 102, Section 22 Township 2 New Westminster District Plan LMP31031;

Property Description:

The property is a 372 m² (4,001 ft.²) CD Zone, residential building lot located in Chimney Heights, East Newton, Surrey. It has service connections to municipal sanitary, storm, and water mains. Minimum basement elevation analysis for the lot indicates a basement home is deemed feasible only by relocating the existing sanitary and storm service connections.

A Burnaby man was ticketed for failing to stop at a stop sign following a crash May 24 at Stayte Road and Pacific Avenue. Police say no one was injured in the crash between the Mini Cooper and Mercedes, however, area residents say it points to a need for traffic calming in the neighbourhood.

‘Left lane hog’ rule kicks in Highway drivers who hog the left lane and hold up faster traffic without a good reason now face potential $167 fines, with three penalty points. The clarified regulation took effect June 12 and requires drivers to stay right on routes where the speed is more than 80 kilometres per hour when

other traffic is approaching from behind. The exceptions in which the left lane is okay are when you’re overtaking another vehicle, leaving the right lane open to allow traffic to merge, preparing for a left-hand turn, or moving left to pass an official vehicle with a flashing light.

The rules do not apply to HOV lanes – the next lane to the right is considered the left-most lane on routes such as Highway 1. Another change will allow municipalities to permit motorcycle parking within six metres of intersections with stop signs or signals, so long as sight lines aren’t blocked.

Cache Creek dump captures 85 per cent of landfill gas

Landfill harnesses methane Jeff Nagel Black Press

The Cache Creek landfill has begun generating electricity from the methane emitted by the millions of tonnes of Metro Vancouver garbage dumped there over the past 26 years. Three reciprocating engines installed by operator Wastech Services now turn captured landfill gas into 4.8 megawatts of electricity, enough to power 2,500 homes. The province had made beneficial use of landfill gas a future condition of the landfill’s new operating permit and it was also under a province-wide requirement to capture at least 75 per cent of the gas emitted by 2016. Cache Creek’s system hit that target years ahead of schedule and is now capturing 85 per cent of the landfill gas that would otherwise escape into the atmosphere and contribute to climate change, said Janet Tecklenborg, environmental services director for Wastech, which is an arm of Belkorp Environmental. The landfill started capturing gas in 1996 but it had been flared

Stage version of The 39 Steps to bring plenty of laughs to Coast Capital Playhouse

Hitchcock thriller takes a ‘goofy’ turn Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

t sounds like something that started as a bet. Creating a stage version of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic 1935 movie, The 39 Steps – a very British spy thriller – would be hard to manage even with an unlimited budget and all the technology of 21st century Broadway. Sudden shots in a music hall, a murder in a London flat, a desperate railway journey to Scotland, a pell-mell flight across the highlands with police in hot pursuit… it beggars the imagination. Try it on a bare-bones set with just four actors – and a grab-bag of costumes and props – who must somehow portray close to 150 roles, plus a few inanimate objects, as well as suggest every change of location. English playwright, director and performer Simon Corble did just that in 1995 with collaborator Nobby Dimon, and the results of the experiment in pure theatre were picked up and rewritten 10 years later by Patrick Barlow in what became a London, and subsequently worldwide, hit. Now The 39 Steps is coming to White Rock’s Coast Capital Playhouse, (July 8-25, 1532 Johnston Rd.) thanks to Wendy Bollard and Geoff Giffin’s Peninsula Productions. The director is well-known Vancouver theatre personality Matthew Bissett (A Night On Broadway), with Corey Haas starring as suave hero Richard Hannay – and every other role being played by Laura Caswell, Ashley O’Connell and Ben Odberg. The results of their determined, demented efforts to reproduce the film are bound to be laughable, Peninsula artistic director Bollard said. Which, of course, is the whole point – in its stage incarnation, The 39 Steps has evolved into a high-camp comedy that pits the plot of John Buchan’s stiff-upper-lip novel, and the old-school heroics of Hannay, against the frenzied efforts of the cast to live up to the daffy premise. “I love the fresh take that Matthew has on the play,” Bollard said. “He’s decided it’s about four actors in a theatre who have decided to put this on – and they have to use whatever comes to hand in the theatre. The way Matthew is staging it, all the actors are doing their own scene changes. “There’s lots of room for a lot of fun, a lot of creativity – and a lot of goofiness.” It helps, of course, when you have a director like Bissett – whose playful,

During the auditions he was doing all these different accents, and suddenly at one point, when he came to do a Hannay line, he lost the accent completely. “He just leaned over casually and said ‘apparently Hannay’s Mexican!’” Laura Caswell, from Toronto – known for her own Carol Burnett tribute show – came to Bollard’s attention through mutual friends who had worked with her at Stratford. She plays three female roles: mysterious German-accented femme fatale ‘Annabella Smith,’ the browbeaten wife of an abusive highlands crofter, and heroine Pamela,

who spends much of the show in stubborn resistance to the idea that Hannay could have been swept up – innocently – in a plot to smuggle aviation secrets to a ‘foreign power’. “She was visiting family on the West Coast when she decided to audition for the show – there were many great people who came out to audition, but she just immediately ‘got it’,” Bollard said. All of the other roles are played by Irish actor O’Connell – who made his West Coast debut with the White Rock Players Club before winning attention for his comedic skills in such Vancouver shows as the Arts Club’s hit Spamalot – and versatile local favourite Odberg (who also starred in Peninsula Productions’ The Game’s Afoot and Blithe Spirit). Even the physical contrast (“Ben’s quite tall, while Ashley’s about five-foot-six) lends

humour to the clownish roles they play, Bollard said. The non-stop action has them morphing from spies, to travelling salesmen, to a hotel keeper and his wife – almost literally at the drop of a hat, she said, noting that other actors are known to have sweated off pounds during runs of the show. Clothes also do a lot of the work in creating the look of the show, and Bollard credits Mahara Sinclaire with doing “a phenomenal job” with vintage styles that don’t slavishly follow the costume plot of the London and New York productions. The audience is invited to “play along and have fun” with the lightweight summer show, Bollard said. “And the whole thing is over in just two hours, including intermission.” Tickets ($25; seniors/children $20) are available from www.peninsulaproductions. org or 604-536-7535.

Joyce Ozier said she never starts a painting with a plan – just a palette. “I basically start out with a certain decision on colour,” she said. “It kind of takes on a life of its own.” The artist – whose show, Marked Panels. Panels. Panels, opened this week as part of the city-sponsored Art On Display at White Rock Community Centre (15454 Russell Ave.) – says she loves painting her abstracts in an in-themoment, improvisational way. But it’s not just about “slapping paint on a canvas,” she said. “I compare it to music – it’s equivalent to classical music,” she added, standing among the works, which consist of sequences of four or more six-foot-by-oneand-a-half-foot panels, not unlike the divisions found in musical composition. Similarly her intuitive combination of bold brushwork and pastel line accents – full of rhythm, mood and movement – implies forms without specifically drawing any. Each has it’s own equivalent of melodic statement, elaboration of theme and harmonic underpinning. And, like music, the works have their own sense of an integral rightness and balance, while entirely subject to individual interpretation – the reactions are often as much of a surprise as the finished pieces are to Ozier herself. “It’s about how you react – and everyone will react differently,” she said. What’s not surprising is that Ozier’s trajectory through the arts has embraced multiple disciplines, all of which have informed her work in some way. A graduate of Skidmore College

Joyce Ozier prepares her display at White Rock Community Centre. in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., she possesses a master’s degree in theatrical design from UBC. Her career has included experimental theatre, teaching, building an awardwinning display and design company and arts management, particularly in the field of dance. “I love dance, although I’m not a dancer myself,” she said. “I think that’s where so much of the movement in my work comes from. When I’m painting I basically dance in front of the panels.” The panel concept comes from a pragmatic place, she admits – while moving toward larger and larger formats, she has had to confront the impracticality of transporting a huge single canvas. Working with a series of panels has offered a natural solution to the problem (“generally I can put six panels in my car,” she said) and has provided an additional element of flexibility to a work in progress. “On one composition I’ll move them around and repeat the process until it feels right,” she said. “Sometimes I’ll even turn a panel upside down. I never know what

the final product will be – I find that very exciting.” Most of the pieces in the current exhibition are from a show first hung in Vancouver’s Zack Gallery last October, said Ozier, who was a visual arts resident at the Banff Centre for the Arts earlier this year. She submitted her work for the White Rock show after seeing an advertised invitation for submissions, she said. “I was very happy to be chosen,” she said. “This is my first visit to White Rock – I understand it’s very beautiful.” Ozier said she is hoping her work will resonate with local viewers, although she’s aware that some viewers are uncomfortable with non-representational art. “Without wanting to seem arrogant, I think that a lot of people are intimidated by it. It’s really just a question of how open you are. “When you are open to the work, you will feel this energy coming from it – and everybody will feel a different energy.” Marked Panels. Panels.

Longtime Elgin Park Secondary teacher and coach Rick Weidmann is calling it a career after 22 years at the South Surrey school, and 34 years teaching in Surrey.

Longtime hoops coach calls it a career Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

ongtime Elgin Park Secondary basketball coach Rick Weidmann may be turning in his whistle and retiring after more than 22 years at the school, but his last name will linger in the hallways just a little while longer. That’s because two of his four children – son Greg and daughter Andrea – are now themselves teachers at the school. Over the course of a 45-minute discussion with a reporter in his second-floor classroom, both pop in a for a few minutes to say hello, ask a question, or borrow a set of keys or a textbook. As well, the school’s alumni basketball game has been christened the Weidmann Cup. At this year’s game, he was given a banner with his name on it, alongside the number 93. “It’s bittersweet – I’ve been here since Day 1, in ’93,” Weidmann said, talking about

the final chapter of his own teaching and “They were a huge motivation for me, coaching career, which began 34 years ago at learning about work ethic,” he explained of his Johnston Heights Secondary, and included 97-year-old mother, Herta, and father, August, six years at Earl Marriott, before transferring who is about to turn 104. to Elgin Park the year that it opened. “My dad was in the war, and he was in a “It’s been a long time, and Russian prison camp for five ❝You work for I’ve done a bit of everything – years and barely survived.

“As a teacher, that’s my thing – I’ve sort of been a storyteller. I tell the kids all these stories from my parents, and their friends – all these stories I heard growing up,” he explained. “You work for what you get, and I always transfer those lessons to sports.” Weidmann played basketball as a high schooler – he was cut from his Grade 8 team before sprouting up to six-foot-six and making the senior squad as a junior-aged player just two years later – and played at Douglas College and UBC, as well, before graduating and taking his first job at Johnston Heights. And, after more than 30 years coaching, Weidmann said the basketball team he coached in his very first year was one of the most memorable. The team was made up of entirely Grade 9s, he said, so playing in a league chock full of Grade 10 competition, the wins were hard to come by. But they i see page 30

Girls hoops team ‘will always hold special place in my heart’ provincewide teachers’ strike left something of a bad taste in his mouth and he decided he didn’t want his final year on the job to be marred by labour strife.

The decision to return paid off, and Weidmann got the exit he wanted – with a return trip to the provincial championships, where they finished 14th. And though the Orcas were knocked out of contention early – they lost their first game – Weidmann said there were other highlights worth celebrating. “We had a couple girls who had only scored, like, one basket (all season). So after we lost that first game at provincials, I told the team our new goal was to get so-and-so a basket. We ran like eight plays in a row to get her one,” he said. “She worked hard all year and she deserved it. And when she got that basket, the other girls were even happier than she was. That was a really cool moment.” It’s moments like that – connecting with his students, and making a difference – that he’ll miss the most, he admitted. In retirement, Weidmann said he plans to travel a bit with his wife of 31 years, Wendy, while also helping some of his children with some home renovations. He also has his parents – who live in Cloverdale – to look after, he added. And there remains, too, the slight chance he could one day return to the sidelines of a basketball court. “Maybe I’ll come back and help out with the Grade 8 team, just to keep my hand in it,” he said. His daughter, Andrea, laughs at the idea of her father coming out of retirement before he’s even officially entered into it. “You can’t come back and coach – mom will kill you,” she laughed.

Elgin golfers second Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Elgin Park Secondaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf team has finished on the provincial podium for the first time in 15 years. This month in Port Alberni, the Orcas placed second at the BC AAA Golf Championships, second only to Coquitlamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gleneagle Talons, who were buoyed by the stellar performance of a Grade 7 import from the high schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catchment area (which is allowed under provincial rules). It was just the third time since 2000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when they also finished in second place â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that Elgin Park had qualified for golf provincials. In 2005, led by twins Connor and Garrett Zokol (sons of pro golfer Richard Zokol), the Orcas finished 10th. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a really good result, and we did better than I thought we might do,â&#x20AC;? said Elgin Park coach Richard Augustus of the June 1-3 event, adding that after a strong season the team had â&#x20AC;&#x153;faltered a little bitâ&#x20AC;? at Fraser Valley championships. During the season, the Orcas had finished second at the Delta Police Tournament, and were also second at an event in Victoria. At Fraser Valleys, the team finished fifth â&#x20AC;&#x201C; still enough to snag a provincial berth. At provincials, each day, the top four scores from each team are added together, forming an aggregate score. Taylor Patrick was Elginâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top golfer, carding rounds of 68 and 71 at the par-71 Alberni Golf Club. Sam Su also â&#x20AC;&#x153;played really wellâ&#x20AC;? en route to a two-round score of 148 (75-73), while Grade 8 golfer Peter Zhang also had a good tournament, finishing at 152 (75-77).

UBC women’s team to play in South Surrey for 2016 season

T-birds to call Softball City home Rick Kupchuk Black Press

A month after confirming the team will retain its status as a varsity sport, the University of British Columbia (UBC) has announced its women’s softball team will play home games in South Surrey next season. The UBC Thunderbirds will play games at Softball City, site of the annual Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship – which begins July 3 – and the 2016 Women’s World Championships. The announcement, made Wednesday afternoon at Surrey City Hall, comes a week after the Cascade Collegiate Conference approved an associate membership application from the UBC team. The Thunderbirds previously competed as a member of the Association of Independent Institutions. “One of the benefits of moving to the new conference is we will have the opportunity to play more home games,” said UBC head coach Gord Collings. “At Softball City, our team will have access to one of the best facilities in North America, if not the world.” The Cascade Collegiate Conference has teams in Oregon, Montana and Idaho.

Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner is presented with a UBC softball jersey by, from left, Quinn Dhaliwal, UBC president Arvind Gupta, Lindsey Oglivie and softball coach Gord Collings Wednesday. Last season, it played a 28-game conference schedule. “We are so excited to become a part of the Cascade Collegiate Conference and given the opportunity to compete against some of the best teams in the NAIA”, added Collings. In addition to playing 14 CCC league games each season in Surrey, starting in

March of next year, UBC players and coaches will be out in the community providing instructional clinics for local female softball players. The Thunderbirds team had a huge local contingent on the roster last season, including Quinn Dhaliwal, Kelly Rumley, Zoe Gillis, Frances Ramsay, Emma Tuson and Mar-

garita Sison of the White Rock Renegades, and Sarah Hillsdon and Lindsey Ogilvie of the Surrey Storm. Collings was involved in the Delta Heat rep program for many years before taking on the role of head coach at UBC. His daughter, Paige Collings, is an assistant coach, as is former Renegade Cassandra Dypchey.

Scott Hargrove returned to Ultra 94 Porsche GT3 Cup racing with a dominate performance in Toronto. Racing in the third race of the series Saturday during the Molson Indy weekend, the Surrey driver led from start to finish for the win. “I’m thrilled with the result,” Hargrove said. “The OpenRoad Racing Porsche was phenomenal. I’m just super excited to be back here racing Porsches again.” Hargrove won six of 10 races to win the Platinum Cup as series champion a year ago, but missed the first two races of this season. The fourth race of the series was Sunday, also in Toronto, and Hargrove placed second to rookie Daniel Morad. The runner-up finish lifted Hargrove into sixth place in the series standings.

IN MEMORIAM GIFTS Make a gift that honours the memory of a loved one.

EISNER, Jean (nee Simpson) My darling wife of 71 years, passed away on the 12th of June, 2015, at Peace Arch Hospital. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband Marty, her many nieces & nephews, and her many friends. Despite her many illnesses and C.O.P.D., she is now at peace, and will suffer no more. There is no service by request. Please consider a donation in her memory to the B.C. Lung Association. Special thanks to the caring staff at Peace Arch Hospital.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Colin “Mad Dog” Savage on June 12, 2015 at the age of 69. Colin was predeceased by his father Frank; mother Alma; sister Heather. Deeply missing Colin are his wife Cathy; children Jefferey (Tasha), Nicole; granddaughter Brooklyn; brother Dennis (Lynda); nephew Conor; nieces Monica, Cora, Kathryn, Allegra. Colin is also deeply missed by extended family members and many good friends. Colin loved swapping stories. Music and hockey were favorite pastimes. He was the master of trivia.

It is with great sorrow we announce the sudden passing of David at his home on Gabriola Island. He was born in Canyon Creek, Alberta, to John and Violet Dewinetz and grew up in his hometown of White Rock, BC. He is pre-deceased by his parents and his brothers Mel, Gordon and Kenny. He is survived by his loving son Troy (Katharine), Troy’s mother Lori, his former wife Bernice, his brothers Don (Jody), Richard (Evelyn), and Bill (Joan), his sisters Judy, Yvonne (Mike Meyer), and Dianne (Dave Swansburg), many nieces and nephews and a multitude of friends that loved him. David’s remarkable work ethic led him to have a very successful 45year career in the grocery business. Starting as a clerk for Super Valu, he worked his way up to Vice-President of Kelly Douglas. He later owned and operated his own supermarkets where he mentored and started many employees on their own career paths in the industry. Guided by a faith in God and his own generous heart, he found much happiness volunteering in the communities in which he lived. He was a loving father that was always there for his son. David enjoyed being social and spending time with friends and family. He had a soft spot for children and animals, and enjoyed cars and Elvis. His BBQ salmon was legendary. He was an excellent fisherman, enjoyed golfing, and coaching and watching hockey. He is still waiting for his Canucks to win the Cup. A Funeral Service will be held at 1:00 PM on June 23rd, 2015 at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre, 14831 28th Avenue in South Surrey. A small Celebration of Life reception will be held on Gabriola Island as well, details to be announced. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of BC or a charity of your choice. Condolences may be offered at www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca

About my business: • More than 24 years on the peninsula • Huge selection of stylish frames • Licensed opticians, contact lens fitters and sight-testing opticians For more than 24 years, the team at Debbie Mozelle Designer Optical have been proud to serve the community with a smile. The trendy eyewear store has much to offer, including a vibrant and fresh collection of frames from Europe, fit and measured by professionals for ultimate comfort and style. Debbie Mozelle Designer Optical’s frame-stylists are waiting to assist clients in choosing the right colored frame for the season. “We choose frames based on your coloring and lifestyle,” owner Debbie Mozelle says. “Honesty is our best policy, and that’s why customers keep coming back.” And for those who thinking shopping online can save money, Mozelle says the prices for eyewear and contact lenses are about the same as what you find on the Internet, but the big difference is you can see what you buy before you pay, and the staff add the personal touch by adjusting the frame to fit exactly how you like it. “We are licensed opticians, licensed contact lens fitters and licensed sight testing opticians. We have good

quality products at reasonable prices and most frame repairs are done on premises.” The combination of hard-working staff, a friendly and fun atmosphere and fair pricing make Debbie Mozelle an obvious choice for glasses. And if you’re looking for something different, come in and ask Debbie and the team about new wave front digital technology lenses. “They are the latest product, with virtually no distortion,” Debbie said. “Whatever you are looking for, we will help you find it.” And if the big brand names don’t feature the style you are looking for, why not take a look at Debbie Mozelle’s house-brand frames for men and women. The unique and stylish frames are not available anywhere else. To thank their loyal customers, customers who purchase eyewear will be entered into a draw on for an all-inclusive vacation for Two to Mazatlan, Mexico. For more information, visit debbiemozelle.ca
