Crescent Park pump replaced, but city says more solutions might be needed

Receding pond level raises concern Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

David Nickerson inspects the water level.

A faulty pump is to blame for decreasing water levels at the pond in Crescent Park, which has left one area resident concerned for wildlife inhabiting the body of water. David Nickerson told Peace Arch News Wednesday that he first noticed the pond’s water levels dropping a few weeks ago, and he called the City of Surrey to inform them

of the issue. Since then, he has seen the water level continue to recede. “The water level is so low that the mud along the shore is drying up,” he said. “I’m really concerned about the aquatic life in there.” Surrey’s parks manager, Owen Croy, said Wednesday that the well’s pump was removed Monday for repair and should be reinstalled by the end of this week. Engineering crews were on-site Wednesday working on the

pump and confirmed the work was expected to be completed by Friday. Croy said the issue might be more than a faulty pump, noting that crews found indications that the well might be low on water. “Part of the problem is the well appears to be running dry, which is causing the pump to shut itself off to keep from burning out,” Croy said. i see page 4

MP candidates speak

Coal foes hear from hopefuls Alex Browne Staff Reporter

There weren’t too many differences of opinion between two federal candidates for South SurreyWhite Rock who spoke at Wednesday evening’s Communities and Coal forum at Ocean Park Community Hall. Liberal candidate Joy Davies and NDP candidate Pixie Hobby were virtually unified on the undesirability and dangers of shipping U.S. thermal coal through the community, and what they described as the “inadequacy” of the decisionmaking and review process for the proposed expansion of the coal facility at Fraser Surrey Docks. And like the Green Party’s Larry Colero and Conservative candidate Dianne Watts – who were not present, but sent statements to be read at the meeting – they both supported an independent healthimpact assessment on the port. (The proposed expansion is currently under challenge in federal court by Communities and Coal, along with Voters Taking Action on Climate Change and two individual applicants.) Watts declined to attend in deference to outgoing Conservative i see page 8

One man arrested as police target beachgoers, drivers

Crescent Beach bonfires lead to tickets Surrey RCMP wrote dozens of violation tickets last weekend in Crescent Beach in response to local residents’ concerns about “unlawful bonfires” and groups congregating on the beach. During foot patrols of the area on Friday and Saturday evenings, officers from the RCMP’s Crime Response Unit issued tickets for bonfires – some of which were left unat-

tended, and for which Surrey Fire Services were called in to extinguish – and also issued $230 violation tickets for consuming alcohol in public. A number of vehicles were also checked during nearby roadblocks, and tickets for speeding and not wearing seat belts were also issued. As well, a small amount of marijuana was

seized from one vehicle, RCMP said in a release. In the same vehicle, one passenger was also found to be the subject of an outof-province arrest warrant. “As the summer season heats up, our officers will be conducting foot and bike patrols along with traffic enforcement in some of the more popular areas of our city to congregate,” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann

said in a news release issued Wednesday. “These high-visibility patrols are meant to help keep the peace and control any potentially unsafe situations. Surrey RCMP wants to ensure that Surrey residents have a fun and safe summer.” Residents are asked to report illegal activities in Surrey’s public areas by contacting the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

Noise complaints

City told to toe the line Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Residents of a Panorama neighbourhood say the City of Surrey has broken its own rules in contracting a tow company to operate on the old city hall site, and the resulting noise is having a detrimental effect on their lives. Gail Sczerkowsky said she and her neighbours are subjected to car alarms, backup sirens, excessive idling, the sound of chains being dragged and pipes dropped, workers yelling at each other and more at all hours of the day, including overnight. “It’s totally in violation (of the city’s noise bylaw), 100 per cent,” said Sczerkowsky, who moved to the area with her family four years ago for needed peace and quiet. “This is a huge, huge problem and it’s causing extreme grief to some people.” The tow company has been operating at the site – near King George Boulevard and Highway 10 – since late-March. City signage notes the site is the subject of a temporaryuse permit application, to allow vehicle storage for up to three years. Thursday, bylaws manager Jas Rehal and Clover Towing owner Kit Moller acknowledged the residents’ concerns and assured the situation is a much more temporary one than the sign suggests. “I’m working very hard to have this thing moved out of there,” Rehal said. “We’re taking steps (to

Gail Sczerkowsky suggests the City of Surrey isn’t enforcing its own bylaws, after it leased out land neighbouring residences to a towing company. address the complaints), everything we can do.” Rehal said a temporary-use permit is needed because existing zoning does not permit a tow yard on the site. It was located there due to an unexpected need to change the city’s tow provider on short notice, and a desire to keep the operation reasonably accessible to the public. He hopes to have the operation relocated before the application process reaches the hearing stage. Moller said changes were made as soon as residents’ concerns were known – one month after opera-

tions commenced – and included reducing the lot’s hours to 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and having drivers disconnect the batteries of vehicles being towed in so car alarms were not being inadvertently activated. Any vehicles picked up by Clover Towing after 8 p.m. are being taken to the company’s Langley lot, Moller said. “We came up with what I thought was a solution,” he said. He noted he was not aware of excessive idling concerns, and said he will address that with his drivers. While Sczerkowsky is grateful for the steps taken, she said it isn’t

enough – especially since existing zoning does not allow the business – and noise concerns continue. “This is not being used as what it legally states,” she said. “This is a viable, commercial, daily, sevendays-a-week business.” Sczerkowsky – whose property is separated from the lot by a small greenbelt and hydro right-of-way – was spurred to lodge her complaint in March out of concern the allhours noise would interfere with her son’s recovery. He had only recently been released from hospital after suffering traumatic injuries, and sound rest was important.

She said she’s now representing more than 50 residents and still can’t enjoy her backyard. She noted she has had to cancel hosting a friend’s wedding next month. At a public information meeting hosted by the city Thursday evening – after Peace Arch News’ press deadline – Sczerkowsky planned to ask if environmental studies were done before the operation was allowed, and if residents should expect similar operations to be allowed on the site after the tow company relocates. “Who says they can’t cram something else down our throats like this?” she said.

The City of White Rock will decide Monday what route to take in acquiring the city’s water utility, officials announced this week. Council voted to hold a special meeting at 5:30 p.m. on June 29, when they are expected to vote to expropriate the city’s water utility, currently owned by Edmonton-based Epcor. Council also voted this week to ‘endorse in principle’ staff direction to serve notice and start expropriation proceedings. The directives were two of five recommendations, amended before council met, that included instruction for staff to bring forward revisions to the 2015-2019 financial plan required as a result of the water-utility acquisition. “The intent of the revised recommendations is to ensure that council has an opportunity to understand the financial plan amendments… recognizing the full extent of the financial implications that will be before you on June 29,” city manager Dan Bottrill told council. Last week, the city held a public information meeting to update residents on negotiations with Epcor, noting talks – which have spanned nearly two years – were “not going well.” The majority of residents who spoke at the meeting were in favour of the city owning its water system. An Epcor spokesman would not comment to Peace Arch News about negotiations, but described the situation as “business as usual.” The city first announced its plans to explore ownership of the water utility in March 2013, and three months later, gave notice to Epcor of their intention to purchase it. Expropriation is one option brought forth by staff that the city can undertake, as well as continuing negotiations or exercising their contractual right to acquire the utility.

i from page 1 “If that’s the case, we’ll have to be rethinking how we approach the situation of maintaining a pond at Crescent Park.” Croy would not speculate as to what might be causing the well to run dry, noting that further investigation is required to determine whether that is, in fact, what is taking place. Should crews determine that the well is running dry, he said alternatives include building another well, or bringing water in from the potable water system to possibly introduce to the pond, if it was suitable. “We would prefer to have a well and draw from the water there as opposed to putting in chlorinated water,” he said. When asked if the city was

monitoring the pond’s wildlife in light of the decreasing water levels, Croy said that the animals inhabiting the area are mostly “introduced foreign species” and not currently in danger. “For the most part, the species that are at the park are not at risk,” Croy said. “There are other reservoirs for these species in terms of habitat areas.” Nickerson, however, said he believes many frogs, turtles, ducks and fish are at risk, not only from the receding water, but from the easier shoreline access the low water levels have created. He said he often sees dogs chasing after the ducks, ducklings and turtles taking refuge along the shore, despite city bylaws that restrict dogs to on-leash only in

the park. “There are dogs running rampant through here, harassing the ducks,” he said, pointing to two ducklings sunning themselves on a log. “If the water keeps going down, the adults are going to fly away and these two are going to be left to die.” Nickerson said that given the current state of the man-made pond, which he described as “a mess”, the city needs to step up its maintenance efforts. “I could understand if this was a pond that was here due to Mother Nature, but Surrey put it here,” Nickerson said. “The animals are in here because of the pond, why not maintain it so at least they can survive? It’s a no-brainer to me.”

Surrey man raising funds for spinal-cord support group

Pain, paralysis ‘just life’

SPRING FASHIONS SHOES & ACCESSORIES

Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

It wasn’t that long ago that Dan Thomas thought he had it all. After years of hard work – he bought his first dump truck at 18, and had worked in the truck and excavating industry for nearly 30 years – the Newton resident, then 45, had a wife, a business and a house he’d paid off. Then, in 2002 while driving home along 32 Avenue late one winter night, Thomas hit a patch of black ice, and rolled his truck into a tree. His injuries – which he says included crushed lungs and two vertebrae in his back “basically disintegrating” – left him paralyzed from the waist down. And he lost more than just his mobility. Without being able to work, he was forced to close his business, and eventually, he split up with his wife. Even a few longtime friends, he says, eventually deserted him. But still, Thomas, now 58, has managed to look on the bright side – though he quickly admits such an outlook has sometimes been difficult. “I worked hard my whole Contributed photo life, and when I was younger I Dan Thomas will take part in the Scotiabank Charity Challenge. always said I wanted to retire by raise goes directly to people “I have pain issues, but over the time I was 45, so I guess I with spinal-cord injuries,” the years I’ve found the only did,” he laughed. “It just wasn’t Thomas explained. “Sometimes, thing that’s really helped has quite the way I’d planned it.

Keeping Alexa in mind

t has been seven years since four-year-old Alexa Middelaer was killed by an alcoholimpaired driver, while feeding horses along the side of the road with her aunt. In that time the police, her family and their many supporters have worked tirelessly to make B.C.’s roads safer for everyone through Alexa’s Team – which was created in 2008 and honours police officers dedicated to removing drunk drivers from our streets. In recent years, drunk-driving rules – and penalties for those who break them – have been tightened across the province, which is, of course, commendable. Recently, Alexa’s Bus – a mobile-safety unit that travels throughout B.C. – has been on a blitz through the province, nominating RCMP officers to Alexa’s Team along the way. To all who are nominated, the accolades are well-deserved, but at the same time, it is sad that their work is still necessary, when the deadly consequences of impaired driving are so wellknown. The work of Alexa’s team – and all who promote safe driving and work to eradicate drunk driving from our society – is always brought into stark relief during the summer months, as people hit the road for summer vacation. And whether those vacations include camping trips, music festivals or simply gathering with friends for an afternoon barbecue, the chances of making the poor decision to get behind the wheel after consuming alcohol looms. And just like seven years ago when Alexa – who attended preschool in Crescent Beach – was killed, each summer provides us more impaired-driving crashes, and more sobering reminders that there is still much work to be done. The solutions to keeping our roads safe are, of course, relatively simple ones, rooted in common sense. If you know your activities will involve alcohol, plan ahead, and arrange for a designated driver. If your plans change midway to involve alcohol, then call a taxi or take public transit. And if, for some reason, none of those options are feasible, call a friend, a family member, walk home or crash on somebody’s couch for the night. They may not be ideal solutions, but anything is better than choosing to get behind the wheel in that situation. Do your part to keep the roads safe. We do not need any more fatalities or serious-injury crashes to remind us of the perils of drinking and driving.

sent her a picture of my handiwork. “You can’t be serious,” said another. “Why don’t you just rent a trailer?” It’s criticism I imagine some of the world’s greatest visionaries also received through the ages – just imagine the textmessages Sir Isaac Newton received from his friends when he tried to tell them about gravity. Truth be told, it should never have come to this. I believe it was about this time last year that I wrote, in another Peace Arch News column, that I’d finally had enough of tenting, and was going to buy myself a trailer. You know, something with all the creature comforts of home. It didn’t happen, of course. But until a week ago, I was set to borrow a tent trailer from a friend. At the last minute, however, due to circumstances neither of us could control, it became unavailable. My understanding wife – who camps only because she knows I love it, and because I’d promised her finer accommodations this time – was understandably crushed at the prospect of spending another scorching hot weekend sans trailer. But necessity is the mother of invention – and I didn’t want to disappoint my wife more than I normally do – so I came up with my plan, naysayers be damned. So, we’ll see how it goes. It could work beautifully, making me the envy of all my friends. Or it could blow up in my face, and I’ll be forced get a trailer in time for next summer. Either that, or I’ll have to come up with another brilliant idea. Pass the duct tape. Nick Greenizan is the sports reporter at the Peace Arch News.

Vexation with representation

Blame ourselves

Editor: Not all MPs are created equally! The logical extension of that statement is therefore: Not all representation is equal. I own a company. The business started in Victoria and then we built a second factory in Delta. Accordingly, I have homes in Victoria and in White Rock. In my capacity as a business owner, I have had the good fortune to travel to other parts of the world and meet with wonderful people. During my travels, I met a person who was engaged in the fabrication and installation of equipment that I utilize in my factory. Accordingly, I purchased equipment from this gentleman and had him install it for me in Canada. Under short-term worker visas, this gentleman visited Canada in 2004, 2006 and 2009. In 2014, on a visit to his home country, I suggested the next time he should visit Canada for leisure purposes, I would be pleased to host him. He agreed and decided to also bring his wife, who had never been to Canada. They applied for the visitors’ visas but were denied by the Canadian government. We found this very perplexing considering that he was a successful businessman; he had substantial assets in his home country and he had been to Canada on three previous occasions and returned home without incident. My lawyer suggested I speak with my local member of Parliament. I called my White Rock MP in the hope that I could meet with him to discuss this matter. I did not get past the receptionist! I was told my MP was too busy and that I should tell my issue to her or one of the staffers. It looked as though a meeting was not in the cards! I told the receptionist my story. The receptionist advised that there was nothing they could do and that they would not interfere with bureaucratic matters. I retorted that I wasn’t looking for interference but guidance. The receptionist responded that there was nothing they could do. I was disappointed and angered by this turn of events. I eventually forgot about the matter, until my mother advised me that considering I have a home in Victoria, I should speak with the local Saanich MP. Always listen to your mother! I called the MP and the response was one first of empathy. Then one of her staffers said she would call the appropriate authorities and seek some further information on the denied application. This MP then provided a letter of support that should my potential guest apply again she would be there to assist. My friend is now in the process of applying again for a visa – wish us luck! You be the judge of the equality of representation you receive from your elected officials. Jag Gillan, White Rock

Editor: Re: Explanations for the birds, June 19 letters. Every day we go for a walk in the local parks. And it is lovely, the birds are cheerfully singing and flying around, occasionally, we see a crow, but not many. The birds have all kinds of places to hide out and are doing well, so I agree with letter-writer Brad Wellman. When we drive away from these lovely forests, what do we see? Hundreds of townhouses! Manicured boulevards; no bushes; trees have all been cut down; more pavement and roads everywhere. Why is it we humans think that whenever it looks like a species is in trouble, we blame the predators. For example, we lived in Campbell River; the salmon were not too plentiful. OK, let’s shoot the seals, and that will cure the problem. The reindeer are getting scarce; let’s shoot the wolves, etc. We never blame ourselves for the problems. When we lived up in Campbell River, we would go out in the boat and would see barges full of sardines going to waste. They were taken just for the roe that was sent to Japan to be eaten. The rest went for fertilizer. This was done repeatedly and led

to a scarcity of feed for the salmon. So, I think it’s about time for us to take a good look at the mess we’re making before we go blaming the crows for killing the songbirds. Barbara Kirkpatrick, Surrey

Just recently a courageous robber broke into our home whilst we were sleeping. We live in the vicinity of an empty house on Marine Drive. The RCMP have paid many a visit to this location. This house has squatters living in it. It’s such an eyesore with the grass two feet high that folks think it’s OK to dump their refuse in the laneway. We called the city to remove the garbage, to no avail. We also have ignorant neighbours planting trees that block our onceupon-a-time seaside view, and they do this because this city doesn’t have a proper and fair-to-residence’s tree ordinance – but they can clearcut the ‘hump’.

Editor: Re: Civic leaders resurrect plans for Spirit Square, June 19. Besides the many good reasons why the Spirit Square plan was originally rejected in 2008, there’s a new one to add to the list. There already is a concreted community meeting place recently built on West Beach just west of the boat launch called the Bayview Park Outdoor Plaza. People can rent this plaza for wedding ceremonies, and yet a check of availability on the city website shows it is booked for a total of three days over the next four months. Why do we need another public square when the existing plaza paid for with taxpayer money sits virtually empty? It’s bad enough the current mayor and council clearcut half the ‘hump’ forest, and now they want to pave the green space lawn of Memorial Park? I visited this area on Father’s Day and it was full of families and their children. The Bayview Plaza sat empty where the public barbeques used to be. Don Pitcairn, Surrey

The province’s plan to replace the George Massey Tunnel will disrupt local commuters, writes Scott McMullan.

Farsighted vision leaves us short Editor: Nice to see the work to eliminate the Massey Tunnel and replace it with a 10-lane bridge is continuing apace. The premier and her government are to be commended for pressing ahead with the bridge alternative in what they described as a “visionary longterm solution.” “Visionary” indeed to deliver infrastructure at the end of the first quarter of the 21st century which further ties us to the burning of fossil fuels in the face of the increasing evidence of rapid climate change. “Visionary” to ignore that a bridge will permit and encourage industrial and residential development south of the Fraser. And it really will be a “long-term solution” – government signs announce “bridge construction starts 2017”. So, three to five years to complete the project at a cost of $3 billion during which we disrupt residents of White Rock, South Surrey, Delta and Richmond,

tourism, ferry traffic and truck and commercial traffic. For a fraction of the cost, we could instead add a third tunnel to support expanded public transportation. This would address the objectives of “people movement” and “relieving congestion” while providing a more sensible legacy. But this fails to eliminate the tunnel – which is necessary to allow ocean-going vessels to travel up the Fraser River. Don’t forget the “visionary” plans to ship American thermal coal to Asia which is facilitated by this decision! The case for a bridge was so obvious, we didn’t even need a lengthy and messy public enquiry. A short period of public input on the alternatives was allowed before quickly announcing that removing the tunnel is the best option. So, I suggest the bridge should be christened “The Christy Clark Memorial Bridge,” so that future generations will know exactly whom to thank for this “visionary long-term” piece of infrastructure.

i from page 1 MP Russ Hiebert – who also declined to attend or provide a statement, deferring to “the future 2015 candidates.” Watts said in a statement read aloud by moderator Andrew Murray that, as mayor of Surrey until last fall, she joined council in calling for the need for an independent health-impact assessment for the port expansion, and formal public hearings on the proposal. Colero’s statement said the Green Party remains “firmly opposed” to shipping US thermal coal. “Canadians have an inherent right to protect themselves and their families from lethal threats created by American business ventures.” Pointing to the “gutting” of the federal Environmental Assessment Act – which Hobby, as an environmental lawyer, helped craft – Davies and Hobby were adamant there could be no meaningful change in environmental protection without ousting the Conservative government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper in October’s election. Their only key difference was on whether Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau or NDP Leader Tom Mulcair should form the next government, although both, along with Communities and Coal co-founder Paula Williams, stressed the importance of voter turnout to voice public feeling on the issues. Hobby won the loudest applause of the evening from a full house of some 150, in answering a question about how much economic benefit could be gained by overriding environmental concerns for projects like the coal-port expansion. She pointed to a Sachs Goldman study in 2013 that she said showed “the window on coal is shutting down quickly – any further investment in coal infrastructure will result in an oversupply which would lead to a collapse in the market.” “Harper put all his eggs in the oil-sands basket and (the market) collapsed, prices went down and now we’re subsidizing the industry through our tax dollars… Are we going to see a repeat performance with coal?” Davies hammered the Harper government in remarks throughout the evening, following an impassioned presentation by former Appalachian coal miner Nick Mullins and his wife, Rusty, who described the devastating impact the coal industry has long had on health and safety in the U.S. In her opening statement, Davies said that while other alternatives are being researched, the use of coal remains a fact of life. “It is a long journey to change this paradigm,” she said. “We Liberals don’t have a blanket prohibition on the shipping of natural resources to or from the the US. We want municipalities and the provinces to have more input into all issues that touch their communities, but we simply will not have resolution to these issues while the Harper government remains in power.” In Watts’ statement, she reaffirmed her concerns about rail safety and the shipment of dangerous goods through such communities as Ocean Park and Crescent Beach and her continued interest in rail relocation. “Speaking to the larger picture… again I have spoken publicly on the need to transition out of use of fossil fuels to alternative sources, and to eventually cease to use fossil fuels entirely,” she said. In his statement, Colero said the Green Party was the only party in the last election that proposed a national transportation strategy. He said he believes the party will influence Parliament to create a “clean freight initiative” that would include science-based assessment of risks and hazards and new regulations to make sure railways “serve all Canadians.”

Single-family homes to soon be out of reach for most

Priced out of house, not home The Peninsula Community Foundation was established in 1998, spawned by the incredible success of Vintage Affair, first held in 1992. The Foundation’s volunteer Board of Directors has been brought together by a desire to better the quality of life for those living on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. The Foundation provides financial assistance to programs dedicated to education, delivery of health care, as well as community facilities and initiatives meeting the diverse needs of the community which may otherwise be overlooked. The Foundation has raised well over $1,000,000 in cash to support numerous community initiatives. Some beneficiaries of Vintage Affair include: Sources Food Bank, Make-A-Wish Foundation, KidSport, Semiahmoo House Society, and the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation.

We raise funds and awareness in the city for local causes, whether it is a not-for-profit organization, a charity or a community initiative. Our nine board members live and work locally, and are dedicated to giving back to the community we live and work in.” CURTIS CHRISTOPHERSON – Peninsula Community Foundation president

This fall, the Peninsula Community Foundation will once again be hosting Vintage Affair. This year’s celebration will take place on Thursday, October 22nd at Hazelmere Golf and Country Club. We look forward to your participation in this signature event. Attendees of Vintage Affair are community oriented business professionals that often live and work on the Peninsula. They are influencers and supporters of businesses that contribute to local issues that matter. Vintage Affair provides a fantastic opportunity to create new relationships as well as foster existing ones. It is the Premier Gala on the Peninsula – and one not to be missed!

of living unit appeals to firsttime buyers, and is increasingly becoming popular with families. The growing price gap between multifamily and detached housing units should not be that surprising. Ever since the Agricultural Land Reserve was created in 1972, there have been significant limits on land available for urban development in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. Up until recent years, there has been enough supply, with the biggest supply of those available lands in Surrey. That has changed. Much of Surrey has now been developed, and the city is either preparing or contemplating development plans for much of the area outside the ALR. There are some other areas, such as Langley Township, Maple Ridge and Mission, where there is still a significant amount of developable land. However, in many cases, services are nonexistent. As long as people keep moving to this area and the local economy is able to supply enough jobs for them, a two- or three-tier market is likely to continue. Owning a detached home in the future will be available mostly to the well-to-do. Frank Bucholtz writes Fridays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

Semiahmoo Peninsula residents are less likely to smoke than others in Metro Vancouver, according to a recent survey, but need some improvement when it comes to commuting. Results of the community health profile were presented to White Rock city council this week by representatives of Fraser Health, who commissioned the survey in partnership with Vancouver Coastal Health. The My Health My Community study – which had more than 33,000 respondents in Metro Vancouver and 715 in White Rock/South Surrey – found that only six per cent of Peninsula residents are “daily or occasional smokers”, compared to 11 per cent in the rest of Metro Vancouver. Locals are about on par with the rest of the region when it comes to other health behaviours, the study found; 30 per cent are eating five or more fruits and vegetables a day (25 per cent in the region), 48 per cent are

Where White Rock/South Surrey residents could use some work, according to Fraser Health’s environmental officer, Randy Turkovic, is the method by which they commute to and from work or school. Only 12 per cent of Peninsula residents take transit, and seven

per cent walk, compared to 28 and 14 per cent, respectively, around Metro Vancouver. The study found that although 69 per cent of local residents agree that there are amenities within walking or cycling distance, only 12 per cent actually walk or cycle when running errands. “This means you’ve done a good job of making your community walkable,” Turkovic told council Monday. “But there’s a bit of a disconnect between the 69 per cent who know they can walk and the 12 per cent that are actually walking.” Other findings from the survey – conducted between June 2013 and July 2014 – include 62 per cent of White Rock/South Surrey residents feel a strong sense of community belonging (56 per cent in the region), 92 per cent have a family doctor (83 per cent) and 68 per cent rate their mental health as excellent or very good (57 per cent).

Changes coming to Fraser Downs

New elements for racetrack

Crossword

This week’s theme:

Gift Of Dad by James Barrick

Jennifer Lang Black Press

A new name, more slots and a 300-seat entertainment space are on their way to Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino in Cloverdale. Great Canadian Gaming Corp. announced this week it’s rebranding the former Cloverdale Raceway as Elements Casino, an “allinclusive, full service gaming entertainment venue.” Along with live entertainment, new dining areas, and more casino games – including 550 interactive slot machines – comes a commitment to the sport of standardbred horse racing, in keeping with the facility’s roots as a racetrack. The $11-million overhaul is similar in scope to what Great Canadian spent rebranding its Coquitlam casino as the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver. Last September, Great Canadian announced it had renewed its leasing option with BC Lottery Corporation to extend its operating contract with Fraser Downs for another 10 years. And in March, the company announced a redevelopment was in the works. Plans include a 70-seat entertainment lounge along with the versatile 300-seat entertainment venue to showcase talent; dining options will include a buffet, lounge and casual dining outlets; and the casino will offer more games such as blackjack, roulette and a semi-private baccarat room. In 2014, a multi-year deal was agreed to by Great Canadian, which

More slots and new entertainment space is planned for Fraser Downs. also operates Hastings Racecourse – home to thoroughbred horse racing – and B.C.’s standardbred and thoroughbred sectors. The deal guarantees racing for five more years, offering stability for the industry in the short term. Chuck Keeling, Great Canadian’s vicepresident of stakeholder relations, said the provincial government allows the racing side

of the operations a proportionate share of slot-machine revenue. “The higher the revenue for slot machines, the better it is for them,” he said. Keeling – who sold race programs as a kid at the Cloverdale Raceway founded by his grandfather – said he is excited on a personal level about what the redevelopment will bring.

“For someone that has as much history and sentiment vested in the place as I do, I’m really excited. I wish we were opening tomorrow, not six to seven months from now.” Standardbred racing resumes at the track Oct. 1. Fraser Downs is to remain fully operational during renovations, with Elements Casino opening toward the end of 2015.

Sources aims for ‘stronger presence’ Sources Resources Centre has relaunched its foundation with a new name, logo, board of directors and website. Sources Community Resources Foundation – formerly Peace Arch Community Services Foundation – provides funds for Sources to maintain a food bank and volunteer dental clinic, run an in-demand hot lunch program for women and children and support community resources that aren’t government-funded. Based in the Miramar offices at 1461 Johnston Rd., funds are raised through fundraising, bequests and donations. Sources CEO David Young described the launch as “an exciting change for us.” “We believe the alignment of the name of the foundation with the Resource Cen-

The Sources Foundation was launched Tuesday (June 23) at a private event, where several donors were recognized for significant contributions totaling $150,000. Five directors were elected just prior to the launch, and a dedicated website with a focus to online giving has been created, giving interested donors a choice to support one of four program areas: poverty relief, families and children, community support or area of greatest need. “We tried to make it clear and simple for people to learn about what we do and support our work,” Young said in a news release.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Lilah Fitzgerald, 11, wins Leo Award for role in TV movie

Young Peninsula actor’s star on the rise Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

t 11 – just turning 12 – South Surrey actor Lilah Fitzgerald has a poise and maturity beyond her years. She already displayed it early this year walking the red carpet – in a stunning goldand-ruffles-gown highlighted by the media – for the Berlin premiere of director Wim Wenders’ Everything Will Be Fine, her first theatrical feature. That innate savoir-faire didn’t desert her when she picked up the Leo Award for best lead performance by a female in a television movie at the Vancouver awards ceremony June 14. The only thing that actually fazed the home-schooled, Morgan Crossing area resident, she admitted, was the moment of hearing her name announced for the award, recognizing her work in the B.C.-lensed Polka-Dot and Luey. Her lead role was as a young girl on the edge of the foster system whose bond with a police dog, Luey, leads to a romance between her single mother and a policeman. It was a fun gig (she turned 11 while they shot in Langley, Mission and Aldergrove last year), highlighted by the actual bond she developed with Maggie (the dog playing Luey), even though the young vegetarian actor had to have chicken meat rubbed on her hands to trigger Luey’s instant liking for her character. “It was worth it,” she laughs. “And she turned out to be the sweetest dog.” But even with the fun she had making the movie, she wasn’t prepared to win the Leo, even with her nomination, she said. “I wasn’t expecting it. The lights (in the auditorium) were so bright I couldn’t see anything. I don’t remember what my speech was. Mom said she was crying. People gave me a standing ovation. I was lucky the presenter held the Leo (trophy) for me – it’s pretty heavy.” Up against teen actress Megan Charpentier – becoming well known for horror movie roles – and adult star Meghan Ory, of the television series Once Upon A Time, Lilah had been convinced her appearance that evening was to be simply as a graceful also-ran. Her biggest fan, mom Angela Fitzgerald, also believed she was there to support her daughter through the recognition of her nomination and the temporary disappointment of being passed over for the award. It wasn’t that big a deal, they felt; Ory and Charpentier are experienced, well-

It was also funny to her because Megan is the name of her older sister, a visual artist, writer and photographer – and like dad Tim, also a huge supporter of Lilah’s career . “I felt for sure one of them was going to get it,” said Lilah. “I was thinking I’ll know right away if it’s me or not me, but since they almost have the same name, they’ll be wondering which one it is when the award is first announced,” she said. “Then the presenter said my name. I turned to my mom and said ‘What?!…” She pauses for effect, eyes emphatically wide, before repeating “What?!” It’s in that moment of dramatic exaggeration that you glimpse the

thoroughly normal child inside the diminutive Lilah. But it’s also a demonstration of an endearing naturalness with which she zeroes in on and expresses emotions – already wellnoted by industry professionals. That includes actor James Franco, star of Everything Will Be Fine (along Charlotte Gainsbourg, Rachel McAdams, Marie-Josee Croze, Robert Naylor) – a drama about a man learning to reconnect with people, including a step-daughter, after the traumatic experience of killing a child in an accident. Noted for his outspoken stance against the conventions of the ‘child actor’, Franco was thoroughly won over by Lilah when they shot the movie two years ago in Quebec (Lilah herself is averse to the term ‘child actor’ – considering it patronizing, she prefers ‘young actor’). In an interview with the British online magazine www.theupcoming.co.uk, Franco

enthused “Lilah Fitzgerald, who plays my step-daughter as a child, is a very funny, special girl… she is very precocious, but still a kid… Lilah has a good sense of humour and I think it really added to our relationship on the screen.” For her part Lilah recalls Franco as “a neat person” who kept her laughing during rehearsals doing his part each time “as a different character in a movie he’d done.” Wenders ended up writing banter between them into the script, Lilah said. “He did a lot of improv, and I’d never done improv before.” Wenders too, she recalls, is “so nice – he has such an eye for art.” At the Berlin premiere, Lilah said, he insisted she stand in front of him “so I wouldn’t get cut out of the pictures.” The red carpet, with it’s blinding glare of lights and photographers was another › see page 28

Maguire said, noting many families are forced to drive to North Surrey, Delta and Richmond. Maguire said that more access to local rinks would likely result in an increase in registration for both the hockey and figureskating clubs, and would also open the door for larger-scale sporting events in the community. “Not only do our associations face limitations on growth, but also hosting opportunities,” Maguire said, noting a recent championship tournament hosted by Semiahmoo Minor Hockey drew a number of out-of-town visitors to the community. “We could do the same for both figure skating and hockey, however, we’re very limited only having single-sheet arenas in our community.” Finding enough ice time for its members is not a new problem for Semiahmoo Minor Hockey. In April 2014, Semi’s director of capital planning Pat La Rue told Peace Arch News that the association was “highly oversubscribed” with about 1,000 players. A consultant hired by the Semiahmoo Minor Hockey in 2013 determined that, between White Rock’s Centennial Arena and South Surrey Arena, the association had adequate space for 400. At the same time, the association began investigating the possibility of entering into a public-private partnership with the City of Surrey in order to build a new twoice-sheet facility in Grandview Heights. That project, however, failed to move beyond preliminary discussions. “After hearing from developers, it kind of went nowhere,” Maguire told PAN a day after presenting to council. The City of White Rock has ‘ice time’ listed on the next phase of its 2015 strategic priorities, which guides planning activities, and a report is expected to be brought to council by the end of July, staff confirmed. – with files from Nick Greenizan

John Burns rushes to the next hole at Peace Portal Golf Course during his 24-hour golf-a-thon.

John Burns completes 200 holes in 24 hours

Golf-a-thon raises $200K Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Surrey pastor John Burns was on the run earlier this week, taking part in his 24-hour golf-athon at Peace Portal Golf Course in South Surrey. Beginning Sunday night, Burns golfed for 24 hours straight to raise money for Mercy Ministries. He ended up golfing 200 holes, and raising more than $200,000, and “more money is still coming

in,” said Helen Balzer of Surrey’s Relate Church, where Burns is a pastor. This week’s endeavour was not Burns’ first marathon golf session – though it was his longest. In the past, Burns has golfed 100 holes at a time alongside Surrey golf pro Jodi Reimer, and has raised more than $500,000. Reimer took part this year, too, golfing the first 100 holes with Burns. For the last half, Burns –

who left Wednesday to speak at a forum in Australia – was largely on his own, though Balzer said he was joined for stretches by “sympathy golfers” who came to spur the pastor on. “It was difficult for him – a whole new level from (previous years,” she said. “I saw him at 11:30 at night, and I wondered how he would get through the next nine hours, but he did it, he pushed through.”

Treyson Cerrato of the Surrey Gymnastic Society has qualified for the Western Canada Summer Games in Wood Buffalo, Alta. in August. The South Surrey resident has won three consecutive B.C. championships. This past April, Cerrato, 13, competed in the Provincial 5 category and had the best score on parallel bars. He also won a silver medal on pommel horse, rings and high bar, and was fourth on floor and fifth on vault. One of three allaround champions from the Surrey Gymnastics Society (SGS), Cerrato was also the overall gold medallist last year in Kamloops in the Elite 4 category, and in 2013 in Prince George in the Provincial 4 group. He qualified for the Western Canada Summer Games earlier this month in Kelowna, and is among 12 members of Team BC. “British Columbia has a strong tradition of success in gymnastics at the Western Canada Summer Games,” said Team BC Chef de Mission Diane St-Denis. “I know that these athletes will be tremendous competitors and represent Team BC and their sport very well at the Games this August.”

There’s still so far to go: Olahan i from page 33 started to drop.” Growing up, Olahan continued to be an advocate for equality in sports – knowingly, or not. As a teenager, she was an excellent golfer and a member of a Vancouver golf club, and even then, faced discrimination because of her gender. “Women weren’t allowed to golf before 2 p.m., and our locker room was small, compared to the men’s, which had a restaurant and a bar, and this was back when girls also had to wear really long shorts in order to be allowed to golf,” she explained. “I just thought, ‘wait a minute, what is going on here?’” When she was 16, she won the club’s girls championship, and rather than be congratulated, the course pro instead told Olahan’s dad only that his daughter needed to wear longer shorts the next time she teed off. “That was the last time I golfed there,” she said. Olahan instead stuck with soccer, playing into her 20s on various teams. When she moved to the Semiahmoo Peninsula in 1990, Olahan – in her mid-30s and tired of trying to keep up with 19and 20-year-olds at the premier level – decided for the second time in her life to start a team from scratch. “I’d be out there against these younger girls, and I just thought

The only player under 40 was our goalie,” she said. “It’s still the best soccer I’ve ever played in my life.” In retirement, Olahan has traded in her soccer cleats for cycling and yoga, and though she misses “the girls” there are parts of her soccer career she is happy to be done with. “We still didn’t get field time for practice until 9 p.m, and our games were nine o’clock on Friday nights, because we’re women. I don’t really miss that,” she said. It’s for those reasons and more – like every time she hears someone utter the phrase “you play like a girl” – that Olahan knows there is still much work to be done when it comes to achieving true equality in sports, and elsewhere. It’s why she’s proud to be associated with her hall-of-fame Blue Mountain team, as well as her Supra teammates, and also why she’s happy to see the next generation of young players grow up with role models such as Canadian women’s team captain Christine Sinclair. “Things irk me, but you keep going back because you love the game. There really is no feeling quite like scoring a big goal, or making a big save. That’s the point of the whole thing – it’s not male or female, it’s the thrill of participating in a sport. “But at the same time, there’s still so far to go.”

File photo

The Semiahmoo Supra have been very successful since being formed 12 years ago. ‘This is crazy, I’ve got to work in the morning,’” she said. She formed an over-30 women’s team, the Semiahmoo Supra, which over the last 12 years has become one of the most successful women’s teams in the country. The team – now called Coastal FC Supra – have made five appearances at natio nal club championships, and last fall won its first-ever gold medal in the over-30 division. Olahan retired a few seasons ago after seven surgeries on her left knee, but she still follows the team and is proud of their recent success. “I’m hitting 50 this year, and more than half the team is my age – and they just won a national over-30 title. That’s just crazy.

OBITUARIES

MILLY GERD HENDERSON

January 18, 1921 – May 30, 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Milly. She was a feisty lady and a hard worker, and she channelled all that energy into living life to the fullest. She loved to cook, bake and entertain, and had a great sense of occasion. Throughout her life, she would sew, knit, paint and sing in a choir. She enjoyed long walks along the Sask. River and later in life along the beaches in White Rock, B.C. She travelled extensively throughout Canada and the U.S. and spent time in Europe, including 2 trips back to her birthplace. Milly was born in Sjovegan Norway, and immigrated to Canada in 1925. Her family farmed in Saskatchewan, and in her late teens, she moved to Saskatoon to work. It was there she was introduced to Ed, and after a whirlwind courtship and marriage, they relocated to Halifax. Ed was off to war, and they would spend 5 years in Halifax and Sydney. After the war they settled in Saskatoon until their move to B.C. in 1991. They would spend 67 memorable years together, raising 5 children, working, and just enjoying life. Milly was an incredible influence on everyone who knew her, and she will be greatly missed. She is predeceased by her husband Edward Wilfred, and their son, Edward Robert Henderson (Bob), and will be lovingly remembered by her 4 daughters, Ronelda Smith, Marilyn Millikin (Ernie), Kathryn Henderson (Dwight Auramenko), Melanie Henderson (Gary Bingham), 6 Grandchildren, and 9 Great Grandchildren. A Celebration of Life will be held on August 17th in White Rock. In memory of Milly, donations may be made to the Cancer Society.

It is with great sadness that the family of Erich Eissler announce his peaceful passing on June 9, 2015. Erich is survived by his loving wife Elke, son Gordon, daughter Susan (Eric), granddaughters Elisabeth and Samantha, sister-in-law Ruth Puri and family (Toronto), and friends in Toronto and Vancouver. Erich was predeceased by his parents George and Helene, his brother Bernie, and his mother-in-law Elisabeth Sisnaiske. A well loved Husband, Father and Opa will be deeply missed. Thank you to Drs. Dosanjh and Tavaria, and all of the nurses who took such great care of Erich at Peace Arch Hospital. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation.
