Suspect in Cloverdale murder arrested early Monday in Burnaby

Father killed in Surrey home invasion Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A 42-year-old man was shot and killed in a home invasion in Cloverdale on the weekend. Police say Colin Hill confronted a man who was trying to break into his home in the 16500-block of 64 Avenue on Sunday, just before midnight. During the confrontation, the father of two – a real estate agent – was fatally wounded. The attacker then fled in a stolen vehicle. Then, just before 2 a.m. Monday, Burnaby Mounties were called to an apartment in the 7300-block of MacPherson Avenue by wit-

nesses who said they saw a man brandishing a gun and attempting to break in. Burnaby RCMP contained the area and a 22-year-old Surrey man was arrested. Khouri Lamar Green was to appear in Surrey Provincial Court Tuesday morning on a charge of second-degree murder. The results of the appearance were not available by Peace Arch News press deadline. Hours after the tragedy, an outpouring of grief was posted on Hill’s Facebook page. “I’m shocked and saddened by the news of your tragic passing,” wrote Ryan Aberdeen. “You were a great person and I’m glad we got

to have many laughs together. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.” Longtime friend Lowell Jordan said he’d been friends with Hill since elementary school. “I am devastated. A successful realtor and wonderful family man,” Jordan wrote. “I will miss you dearly my old friend.” A post by the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board describes Hill as “an individual with incredible character who was passionate about his family, friends, work and community.” “He observed life through a lens of joy and i see page 8

The City of White Rock has declared a tent structure that houses a marijuana-focused religious organization on Marine Drive a “nuisance,” ordering it removed within the next 10 days. City council voted unanimously Monday evening to adopt a resolution brought Robin Douglas forth by the pastor city’s director of planning and development, Karen Cooper, regarding the 14737 Marine Dr. property, where Robin Douglas opened a gathering space known as the Church of the Holy Smoke more than three months ago. The resolution addresses a number of issues with the tent on the i see page 4

Owners advised to leave their four-legged friends at home

‘Minutes’ in hot vehicle can kill pets Evan Seal Black Press

It’s not cool to leave a dog in your hot car. That’s the message the City of Surrey, BC SPCA and local emergency personnel want to get out to the public during this extremely hot, dry summer. Thursday afternoon, officials were on hand at Guildford Town Centre encouraging pet owners to leave their animals at home on hot summer days rather than leave them in vehicles while they run errands throughout the city. Last year, the BC SPCA received more than 1,100 calls for dogs locked in hot vehicles and the numbers are even higher this year, said Lori Chortyk, ❝This is a general manager of community relations for completely preventable the BC SPCA. “Many well-meaning offence.❞ guardians leave their Kim Marosevich pets in parked vehicles Surrey bylaws while they run errands, thinking they will be safe for a short period,” she said. “Tragically, in hot weather, their pets can suffer serious heatstroke and die in a matter of minutes.” Early last week, Surrey bylaw officers responded to a complaint of a dog locked in a vehicle at 4:30 in the afternoon. When they arrived, they found a dog inside a car that had an inside temperature of 38 degrees Celsius (115 degrees Fahrenheit). The owner of the dog was issued a $500 fine. “This is a completely preventable offence,” said Kim Marosevich, city bylaw operations manager. Since dogs have no sweat glands, they cool down by panting or by releasing heat through their paws. Often, the air inside a vehicle and the upholstery are so hot the animals are unable to cool off and can suffer irreparable organ or brain damage in a matter of 10 to 20 minutes. Surrey Coun. Mary Martin was given an opportunity to sit inside one of the vehicles parked at the mall to fully understand what dogs go through. Using a hand-held temperature sensor, BC SPCA Special Constable Eileen Drever got a reading of 33C off the pavement and 45C inside the vehicle.

Mary Martin (right) experiences the heat inside a vehicle on a hot day. Within five minutes, Martin found the heat unbearable. Anyone who sees a dog in distress is encouraged to contact the City of Surrey or the BC SPCA, or call 911. The RCMP does not recommend residents take the law into their own hands, as breaking a car window is a crime and charges can result.

Black Press

Hepner raised the idea of prying away the TransLink gas tax as one option to fund LRT. She said there are other possible sources and methods to get the lines built. A private partner could be enlisted to finance and build Surrey LRT with no capital outlay by Surrey or TransLink, she said, but the resulting annual payments would be about $60 million a year for 30 years. “It still has to be paid back. And when it’s paid back in my mind it’s a regional payback, not just a Surrey-alone payback,” Hepner said. “We’ve always shared those costs among the region. We didn’t shirk at Canada Line and we didn’t shirk at Evergreen Line and I’m confident the region won’t shirk at the Surrey Line.” She noted mayors also still intend to explore road pricing, which could be a new funding source in place within five to eight years, although it’s assumed that would have to survive a referendum as well. “Some of the other mayors are less inclined to go back to the drawing board with the province, but I think we have to,” she said.

“Everybody has to stay together long enough to come to a solution.” The sales tax hike would have funded the Surrey lines, a Broadway subway in Vancouver and broad bus, SeaBus and HandyDart improvements across the region. Two-thirds of the capital for the Surrey and Broadway lines and the Pattullo Bridge replacement would have come from Victoria and Ottawa, and Stone said those contributions are still on the table if the region can hammer out how to pay its share. Stone said he intends to meet in the new few weeks with Hepner and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson – who head the mayors’ council and sit on the TransLink board. “I don’t believe there’s any silver bullet, that there’s an easy quick fix,” Stone said, but added he believes modest bus and HandyDart improvements are possible in the short term to address the worst transit congestion. Mayors continue to reject the option of raising TransLink property taxes, which is what the province wants them to do and would be allowed without a new plebiscite.

Saxton said the arrival of cloud and cooler temperatures by Friday also helped stop the generation of ground-level ozone, which is caused when nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (from vehicle emissions, solvents and vegetation) react in sunlight on hot days. It’s impossible to say whether the smoke will be back in the days ahead, Saxton said. Residents can get real-time data on air quality online at bcairquality.ca or airmap.ca. Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said area hospitals saw higher than usual numbers of patients treated for respiratory difficulties.

An air-quality advisory for Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley due to wildfire smoke blowing into the region has been lifted. Lower Mainland residents are breathing easier because of more favourable wind conditions from a change in the weather pattern. “We’ve seen wind coming from a cleaner direction,” said Julie Saxton, an air quality planner for Metro Vancouver. “That wind has been quite strong in places. That has brought us some cleaner air and helped move the smoke out of our area.”

The advisory was first issued July 5 for Metro Vancouver and unprecedented levels of fine particulate three to four times the region’s objective were measured at several test stations over the initial 24 hours. “This has been a very unusual and difficult week for everybody here,” Saxton said. “The concentrations of fine particulate matter we saw, especially in the early part of the week… were among the highest I’ve ever seen for this area.” The Fraser Valley was added to the areas under advisory on July 6 and elevated levels of groundlevel ozone were listed as an additional factor two days later.

The motion calls for Douglas to remove the tent structure on or before July 24, and authorizes the city manager to arrange for its removal and disposal if it is not dealt with by the city’s imposed deadline. Douglas was caught by surprise Tuesday morning when informed of the city’s decision, telling Peace Arch News he was not aware that the issue was being brought to council. “It strikes me as odd that they would sneak it past without my knowledge or letting us know to defend ourselves in a proper forum,” Douglas said. “I find it

city, concerned the makeshift church appeared to encourage drug use. At the time, Douglas told PAN that the church was meant to be a place for people to gather and smoke cannabis and to “keep pot off the beach and off the street.” Douglas insisted that there was no selling of marijuana taking place, and only those 18 and older were granted entry. Shortly after the church began to attract attention, Douglas was served a 30-day eviction notice from his landlord, which he said plans to fight with the tenancy branch. The city had issued at least two rounds of fines prior to passing Monday’s resolution. Upon hearing about the city’s decision, Douglas said he spoke with his lawyer and plans to file a human rights violation complaint against the city on religious grounds. “The Charter of Rights in Canada gives you a right to freely practise religion without the fear of prosecution,” Douglas said. “That’s what we’re doing, and we’re being prosecuted for standing up for our religious beliefs.” – with files from Tracy Holmes

Petition launched opposing Oxford development

City urged to reject towers Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

A group of White Rock residents have collected more than 1,000 signatures on a petition opposing a development proposal for twin highrise towers on Oxford Street. Launched close to two months ago, the petition calls on the city to reject the development proposal from Richmondbased Elegant Development, and has garnered more than 1,100 signatures at last count, according to organizer Debbie Lawrance. The development in question is proposed for a 2.7-acre parcel of land at 1454 Oxford St. – currently owned by Epcor, the Edmonton-based firm that owns the city’s water utility – and would include two highrise towers, 24 and 21 storeys in height. Before the development can be approved by council, official community plan (OCP) amendments and rezoning would need to take place. According to Lawrance, those opposed to the proposal feel the height and density of the project are not appropriate for the neighbourhood. “From the petition point of view, the height is not at all complementary to the OCP zoning in a low-rise residential

The site of a proposed highrise development at 1454 Oxford St. area,” she said. Lawrance said she and other residents have been collecting signatures door-to-door in the community, as well as at the Farmer’s Market every Sunday. Earlier this month, she submitted the petition to the city, and on Sunday sent copies to Epcor and City of Edmonton officials, highlighting some citizens’ concerns. She said the group will continue the efforts throughout the summer, and plans to bring the petition back to the city in the fall, hopefully with close to 2,000 signatures. “If nothing else, we’re raising awareness around the development,” she said. “Whether people agree or disagree, we want people to

make informed and educated choices as to why they are or why they aren’t supporting such endeavours.” The proposed Oxford development has been the source of debate since it was first presented at a publicinformation meeting in April 2014. Those against the project cited noise, traffic and tree-loss as main concerns, as well as its non-conformity with the OCP. According to the city’s director of planning and development, the proposal is scheduled to be brought to the city’s advisory design panel on July 21. A report to council on how to deal with applications requiring OCP amendments, such as the Oxford development, is expected to be brought to council July 27.

Police believe sex-trade workers being targeted

OPEN CANAL’ HEARING INSTRUMENTS

Suspect sought in sexual assault Investigators with Surrey RCMP’s Special Victims Unit are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man sought in connection with a sexual assault investigation. Police say a woman flagged officers down just after 1 a.m. July 7 to report she had just been sexually assaulted in the 6600-block of 140 Street. A search of the area did not locate a suspect or any related evidence. The suspect is described as a Caucasian male in his mid-30’s, with a large build, bald head and a moustache and/or goatee. He was wearing khaki cargo shorts and a colorful t-shirt. The suspect is believed to be deaf and mute. He was driving a four-door brown or beige sedan with a blue and white license plate BWXM606 of unknown origin. Police also believe the suspect may be targeting people who engage in the sex trade.

Pulling together instead of apart

t takes courage to break a cycle of negativity – but it can be done. For evidence, look no further than the 2015 Pulling Together Canoe Journey, which concluded last weekend at the ancestral home of the Semiahmoo First Nation. The journey – which brings together many groups, including First Nations and the RCMP – continues to be a living symbol of positive co-operation. The metaphor is obvious – but no less powerful. In a broad sense, all humanity is in the same canoe. We all have our strengths and our contribution to make. We can’t allow our squabbles to unseat us – we can either paddle together, or let our differences scuttle us in chilly waters, far from a friendly shore. In the 1997 Vision Quest that inspired the current journey, people of conscience recognized that there had to be a better way to move forward than replaying the same cycles of interaction that had pitted First Nations and police against each other for decades. A history of bad laws, repressive ideologies and short-sighted and disrespectful policies had painted both groups into corners from which many thought there could be no escape. While there could be no question that many wrongs had been perpetrated, those with the vision realized that it was time to move on from the mistakes of the past – to build a future based on mutual respect. Const. Troy Derrick – a Surrey RCMP member of First Nations heritage who has participated in the Pulling Together Canoe Journey for the last nine years – had an interesting observation at the concluding stage of the eight-day journey. “Too many people listen with the intent to reply, and not with the intent to understand,” he said. How truly that sums up all human conflict – whether we’re talking about a difference between people in a close family relationship, or strife between nations. And how much we need to heed such messages, especially in an era that tends to divide us, rather than unite us. The theme of this year’s Pulling Together Canoe Journey was HealThy Ways. It’s a play on words that recognizes a simple truth – that what is healthy for us is also healing for us. As Derrick pointed out, each of the participants was on his or her own journey, as well as the group’s journey. But the symbolic significance of a challenge to ‘heal thy ways’ should not be lost on the rest of us. We’re all on a journey together – and the sooner we realize that, and learn to look beyond limited viewpoints motivated only by segmented selfinterest, the better-off we all will be.

He has since branded the Petronas deal, a template for any future projects, a “generational sellout.” Another big player with gas-well investments in northeast B.C. is Shell, with a proposal for Kitimat. Its prospects have improved since it took over British Gas Group, which had its own LNG intentions here. Another group led by Altagas remains on track to ship LNG from its Douglas Channel site before the end of the decade. It’s important to remember that without LNG exports, B.C.’s natural gas industry will shrink rapidly after 50 years of increasingly significant revenues from sales to the U.S. Leaving aside all the political positioning around the province’s largest private investment to date, if this doesn’t go ahead we will all feel the effects. De Jong had a blunt response when asked what the province gets in return for all its guarantees of low tax environment: “Their money.” At peak construction, Pacific Northwest LNG will need as many as 4,500 workers, with 500 or more operations jobs depending on how far it expands. The finance ministry forecasts that once Pacific Northwest LNG is up and running, it represents $9 billion in revenues to the province over 10 years, including gas royalties and taxes. That’s more than taxpayers can expect from the entire forest industry. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Disappointing legacy Editor: Re: Hiebert proud of his bill’s success, July 3. How sad that the last piece of legislation to be passed by Russ Hiebert’s Conservative government is such an atrocity. It’s an obvious attack on the Canadian labour movement. The bill (C-377) is also unnecessary. Mr. Hiebert states, “... millions of union members who will, for the first time, see where their hard-earned dues are going.” Mr. Hiebert is obviously not aware that unions are democratic institutions that give full disclosure to their membership on an annual basis as to how their dues are being spent. If the membership has difficulty on how the finances are being handled, they have the opportunity to vote new representatives into office. I also find this private member’s bill to be quite hypocritical, coming from an MP that was flying his entire family back and forth to Ottawa business class for an extensive period. He was challenged on this disgraceful waste of taxpayer’s money a few years ago and had absolutely no shame. Of course, this was prior to the more recent scrutiny of Russ’ Conservative friends from the Senate, such as Mike Duffy. George Scott, White Rock Q Russ Hiebert stated in his press release that it is “an important step for Canada.” He thanks his colleagues in Parliament and Senate “to make this bill law.” The bill was only passed by the Senate after the Speaker was overruled when he pointed out that Senate rules do not permit to end debate on private members bill and force a vote. The “important step for Canada” is when the Supreme Court of Canada rules the bill unconstitutional and a new government, which upholds our democratic principles, has been elected. The “working hard for you” MP is then history, as he said when announcing last October that he will not run again. Russ, thanking Senators who overruled the Speaker, one of their own, the one tasked with upholding the rules, made a great exit – none too soon. Wolfgang Schmitz, White Rock

Fun in the sun must be earned Editor: The end of school often evokes the image of children chasing icecream trucks and running through sprinklers. However, this summer, kids will be coming home with just a cone and melted ice cream dripping

down their arms. This summer, my fellow young people, will be a scorcher. According to Statistics Canada, the average temperature since 1948 has been steadily increasing. Which means that this country is getting hotter and hotter, at a faster rate than almost any other country. The consequences of the rise in temperature are dire. They include heat exhaustion, death – especially among the vulnerable – exposure to ultraviolet rays resulting in skin cancer, the rising population of mosquitoes carrying diseases such as the West Nile virus, and, eventually a shortage of water. Currently, B.C. is supplying California with water as they experience another drought, but experts believe that it won’t be too long before we experience our own drought. The reason behind the rise in temperature is due to global warming caused by us. We burn fossil fuels on a daily basis which has led to a greenhouse effect and erosion of the ozone layer. Trees and plants, which we rely on to make oxygen, are being cut down for useless things like textbooks and

photocopied tests. We finally found ways of reusing materials, yet not many people use the recycling bin. Even though watering our lawns is important, many of us seem to forget that freshwater is limited. Having a boiling hot childhood isn’t the best experience to have, but it’ll get worse if we let it happen. If we want to have fun, we need to earn it, instead of making our environment worse. We don’t want to settle on Mars earlier than expected. Leon Chen, Surrey

Appetite for a car-free Marine Editor: Sitting in a local restaurant on Marine Drive on the evening of July 4, I was very aware of several activities which gave me a headache: 1. Eight zillion cars going back and forth for hours spewing noxious fumes; 2. Music (good music) being played really loud by the station; and,

3. Coal trains rumbling by. I would have enjoyed my dinner and conversation to a greater degree if two of the above weren’t happening. We can’t do much about the coal trains but we could do something about the cars. I would like to see White Rock ban cars from Oxford to Maple street along Marine on Saturday and Sunday during the summer between 2 and 10 p.m. This would open up the streets to more appropriate activities. Restaurant owners will say they will lose business. I would think that the opposite would occur and many people would come to White Rock to enjoy a peaceful environment and flock to restaurants to enjoy the quiet ambience. Don’t ask how people would get to the beach. They will figure it out because it would become the place “to be.” Provide some bus service and whatever else can be thought up, but don’t sweat about how people will get there. They will. Maybe try one day, Saturday, first and test it out. You may be surprised how positive it is. Roger Currie, White Rock

There is an interesting story behind the Canadian flag’s origin, writes White Rock’s mayor.

Tribute to a great Canadian story Editor: The beloved Canadian Maple Leaf flag is 50 years old this year. There is an interesting story behind its origin. Dr. George Stanley was my history professor in my first year at the Royal Military College in Kingston. A renowned historian and terrific lecturer, he was a former Rhodes Scholar, and later received honorary doctorates from 12 universities and served six years as the lieutenant-governor of New Brunswick. Unknown to us cadets, he had submitted a design for consideration in a national contest for a new flag in 1964. By 1965, the number of submissions under consideration had been shortened down to three from over 200. There was one from former prime minister John Diefenbaker, one from then-prime minister Lester Pearson and one from Dr. George Stanley. Dr. Stanley’s design was based on the flag of the Royal

Military College. The insignia of the college in the centre panel had been replaced by a red maple leaf. In the end, his submission was chosen over those favoured by the two prime ministers. The final choice had a lot to do with Dr. Stanley’s rationale, which went something like this: the flag had to be simple so it could be easily drawn by children; and it had to have universal appeal – something that applied to French, English, First Nations and all other cultures that constitute Canada. It should not have any specific reference to the “two solitudes” – French and English. Moreover, the single, large maple leaf was symbolic of the large vastness of Canada. That was 50 years ago. Dr. Stanley passed away in 2002 at the age of 93. A great Canadian story and a great Canadian. I was privileged to have known him. Wayne Baldwin, White Rock mayor

serial robber Police are looking into a series of robberies believed to be carried out by the same person. On Thursday, July 9, four robberies were committed on Fraser Highway in a span of 75 minutes. They began just after midnight at a restaurant at Fraser Highway and 160 Street, then 10 minutes later at a gas station on 156 Street and Fraser Highway, then 40 minutes after that from a taxi driver, then just 22 minutes later, at a convenience store close to the initial robbery. The following morning, just after midnight, a fifth robbery of a convenience store near the same location. Police believe the same suspect is responsible for all five robberies. The suspect is described as a Caucasian male, approximately five-foot-eight, with a thin build and possibly skin blemishes, and teeth in poor condition. He was seen brandishing what was described as a black semi-automatic pistol. Surveillance video has been obtained showing the suspect and a grey sedan, possibly a 2000 to 2006 Chrysler 300. “Our robbery section is working very hard to identify the suspect in this series,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann. “Public safety is paramount and thankfully the victims in these robberies have not been harmed. They did the right thing by not resisting the suspect’s demands.” Surrey RCMP considers this person to be armed and dangerous. If you see the suspect, do not try to approach him, but rather call 9-1-1 right away.

B.C. appetite for pot reform riding high: Poll

Two-thirds endorse marijuana legalization Jeff Nagel

other edible products such as pot brownies and cookies. That move followed

Black Press

B.C. has a strong appetite for marijuana reform with more than 70 per cent of respondents to a new poll urging either legalization or decriminalization. The Insights West survey found 67 per cent said they support outright legalization, 28 per cent opposed it and five per cent were undecided. Support was slightly stronger among women, the under35 age group and Vancouver Island residents, but at least 65 per cent back legalization in every region and within each age group. “There’s a lot of support for this,” said Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco. He said the results are a further climb from about 55 per cent support in B.C. a decade ago, and follows legalization moves in U.S. states and a growing number of B.C. public figures endorsing reform over the years. A separate question asked which pot reform option most closely fits their view. Legalization was on top with 38 per cent, while 24 per cent said it should be decriminalized, 27 per cent said it should only be available for medical purposes, and seven per cent want it to always be illegal. Asked about the pros and cons of legalization, 87 per cent said taxing pot would generate useful revenues and more than three-quarters said cannabis has legitimate medical and health benefits, existing dispensaries are a safer method of access than drug dealers and that legalization would let police focus on other priorities. Sixty-seven per cent believed gang violence tied to the illegal drug trade would decline. Presented with a list of arguments against legalization, the top concern cited by 58 per cent was that it would result in more drugimpaired driving. Relatively few (35 per cent or less) agreed with concerns expressed by federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose

a Supreme Court of Canada ruling in June that it is unconstitutional for

the government to limit access to medical marijuana to just the dried form.

A recent poll by Insights West suggests that many B.C. residents support legalization, or decriminalization, of marijuana. – that legalization would increase risks of mental illness such as schizophrenia in some users and lead to greater use among children and teens. More than twothirds of those polled endorsed the City of Vancouver decision to regulate existing medical marijuana dispensaries that sell pot illegally there rather

than shut them down as Ambrose urged. Canseco said the tough talk from Ambrose in recent weeks is likely aimed at buffing the Tories’ tough-on-crime reputation to hang onto Conservative votes elsewhere in Canada leading up to this fall’s federal election. “I don’t think she was appealing to the

B.C. voters,” he said. “I think she was appealing to the hardcore Conservative base in other parts of the country that don’t want to see this legalized.” Health Canada last week announced it will now let approved commercial producers of medical marijuana make and sell cannabis oil – in addition to dried bud – but not

Report shows 26 per cent climb from 2013

Average household debt on rise Jeff Nagel Black Press

High levels of debt mean many B.C. households may be under serious financial pressure once a longexpected climb in interest rates finally begins. British Columbians had an average of $99,834 in household debt in 2014, according to a new survey by Pollara conducted for BMO’s annual debt report.

1328 Johnston Rd. White Rock

Wednesday, July 15, 2015 Peace Peace Arch Arch News News

That’s up more than 26 per cent from $79,089 in 2013. According to the report, 58 per cent of B.C. households carry credit card debt despite the high interest rates they charge. That’s well above the national average of 52 per cent. It found 44 per cent in B.C. have mortgages and 10 per cent have student loans. Seventy-one per cent of B.C. respondents with household debt

said they would be stressed if interest rates rose two points – significantly more than the national average of 64 per cent or 59 per cent of Albertans who said a two-point hike would be stressful. “The sizable number of indebted households that would feel very strained by a relatively moderate increase in interest rates is concerning,” BMO senior economist Sal Guatieri said.

“This is a worrisome side effect of a prolonged period of low interest rates and needs to be closely monitored, especially if rates continue to fall.” Guatieri said the rising household debt levels may be partly explained in some areas by rapidly rising home prices that spur buyers to take on larger mortgages. Bank officials say an eventual rise in rates to normal levels is inevitable and families should stress-test their ability to withstand the increase and manage their finances. A typical Surrey house now selling for $689,000 requires mortgage payments of $2,840 a month, assuming a 2.7 per cent rate, 10 per cent down payment and 25-year amortization. A two-point rise to 4.7 per cent would take that

payment up to $3,500. Too many people in the Lower Mainland are buying homes at prices that leave them barely able to cover the mortgage and household costs, said Gary Tymoschuk, vicepresident of operations for the Credit Counselling Society. “Then you throw on an extra credit card or two and it makes it very tight in terms of managing all the debt,” he said. The society is called on to help a significant number of people in financial trouble but it expects the need to increase when rates climb. “A lot of British Columbians are living pretty close to that wire in terms of our overall indebtedness versus what we can afford to pay,” Tymoschuk said.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Pulling Together canoe trip ends in South Surrey

From lake to river, to the sea Alex Browne

Staff Reporter

s the first canoe pulled level with White Rock pier, after rounding the breakwater, it was in hailing distance of strollers and sightseers on the pier. “It’s good to see the war canoes out again,” one called out. “These aren’t war canoes,” came the voice of one the paddlers below, chuckling, as they maintained a steady pace heading for the beach. Indeed as, one-by-one, some 21 flagdecorated canoes came to rest on the shore, and paddlers alighted and pulled them, with the help of some bystanders further up the beach, it was clear that this was a moment far from thought of confrontation – of quiet contemplation and satisfaction at successful teamwork. The arrival at the pier around noon on Friday (July 10) marked the end of the next-to-last leg of the 2015 Pulling Together Canoe Journey – an eight-day, 100-mile trip involving representatives of many B.C. First Nations, along with paddlers from several police forces including the RCMP and the Vancouver Police Department, and CN Rail, a major sponsor of the event. It was a chance to enjoy a quiet lunch with friends and family – and rest before the final leg of the journey, paddling the short distance to the Semiahmoo First Nation lands for the ceremonial arrival and an evening of feasting and celebration. It was also an opportunity to chat informally with Mayor Wayne Baldwin and other members of White Rock council who had come to the beach to welcome the canoeists. And it was also a chance, as Const. Troy Derrick, Surrey RCMP First Nations Policing officer confessed, for him to slip back to the South Surrey detachment for a shave and to get cleaned up prior to the welcoming ceremonies at Semiahmoo, for which he would don the dress Red Serge of the force. He’d been paddling with the canoes since this year’s journey started, on July 2, at Harrison Lake in the territory of the Sts’ailes First Nation. The route of the canoeists passed through Sumas and down the Fraser to the Lower Mainland, also including Deas Island and Tsawwassen, before heading to Crescent Beach and then to Semiahmoo Bay. “We travelled three kinds of water, from the lake to the river and then to the Salish Sea,” he said. “It was a good paddle,” he added, talking about the most recent segment of the trip. “We started from Crescent around 8:30 a.m. – it was easy.” The Pulling Together Canoe Journey, which began in 2001, traces its roots back to a 1997 vision quest organized by nowretired RCMP staff sergeant Ed Hill, in which officers and First Nations paddlers visited many nations down the coast of B.C. For Derrick, the journey, in which he

has participated for the past nine years, is doubly significant – both as an RCMP member and as someone of First Nations heritage, from the Gitxsan Nation. For him it’s a shared experience of two minority groups – both First Nations and police – who are both perceived through stereotypical images perpetuated by media. “This is only the second time the canoes have put in here in the last 100 years,” he noted. “That’s very significant. For a long time anything like this would have been illegal.” But this year’s journey was also about individuals – including at-risk First Nations

youth – challenging themselves, while being part of a larger group, he said. “There are about 500 people involved in the journey, but also 500 journeys involved,” he said. “This year’s theme is Heal Thy Ways – healthy ways for the total group, but also heal-thy-ways, for the individual.” Derrick said the journey is, in many ways, symbolic of a positive, co-operative way of life that can bring together many different groups and nations. “When you’re out there, everyone else is relying on you and you’re relying on everyone else.” Semiahmoo First Nation councillor

Roxanne Charles, who was lead paddler of her own canoe for several segments of the journey, pointed with pride to the fact that SFN had three canoes in the event. She said the trip was eased by being billeted with the Sts’ailes and Kwantlen First Nations for several days, while Semiahmoo hosted the paddlers over a five-day period. “The youth involved are doing amazing – they feel totally at home in the canoes,” she said. She also acknowledged the participation of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and CN Rail to this year’s journey. “CN made a huge contribution to Pulling Together as well as helping Semiahmoo host this year,” she said. “It’s neat to see everyone building strong relationships.”

AMD genes have been found to influence the safety and efficacy of ingredients in eye vitamins. Different components in these eye vitamin formulations are good for some, but bad for others. Boardwalk Optometry is pleased to offer genetic testing- it’s quick and non-invasive. If you suffer from AMD, we invite you to come in for genetic testing, so that we can help you determine which eye vitamin formulations may be harmful to you based on your genetic makeup.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Pier concerts Expect to find music on White Rock’s waterfront on Saturday nights this summer. As well as restaurant and pub venues along the strip offering their own entertainment, a livemusic series on a stage beside the pier is bringing topflight alternative-pop acts to the area – and these open-air performances are free. Presented by the City of White Rock and the White Rock BIA – with major sponsorship from TD Canada Trust, Alex Browne and assistance from the Peak Performance Project, the TD Concerts At The Pier series continues until Aug. 8. Headliners for the 7-10 p.m. concert this Saturday (July 18) are Vancouver East Side-raised indie soul band The Boom Booms, with opening acts Colleen Rennison and Bend Sinister. Coming up: Gary Comeau and the Voodoo All Stars (July 25, with Ben Rogers and Lester Quitzau); and, The Matinee (Aug. 8, with Tonye Aganaba and Blue Moon Marquee).

Blues Challenge You can bring your own sandwiches and soft drinks to Semiahmoo Park July 26 as the White Rock Blues Society presents its sixth annual Blues Challenge. But chances are meat lovers are going to get hungry when they smell what Memphis Mike is cooking up on the grill at the event, the society’s Rod Dranfield says, adding that the genuine Southern-style barbecue ought to add the perfect complement to a day of wailing blues at the park. Throughout the day, some 13 acts will vie to represent White Rock at this year’s International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tenn. Topping off the event will be a full performance by the evening headliner, Chicago blues legend, Jimmy D. Lane. The blues and barbecue has proven a winning combination for the society, which joined forces with Blue Frog Studios on a similar event last year. But moving the Blues Challenge to the park in time for summer, rather than conducting the popular event in a smaller venue in the fall, makes a lot of sense for the society, Dranfield says. It will also work for winning competitors, who will have more more chance to “leverage” their wins through subsequent gigs, he adds. Competitors seeking the society’s sponsorship to attend the Memphis IBC include such bands and leaders as Harpdog Brown, the Jim Black Band, Arsen Shomakov, the Hell’s Gate Blues Band, McKinley Wolf,

Vancouver indie soul band The Boom Booms are headliners for this Saturday’s (July 18) TD Concerts At The Pier performance in White Rock, with opening acts Colleen Rennison and Bend Sinister. The concert series continues Saturday evenings from 7-10 p.m. through Aug. 8 (except B.C. Day weekend) with a lineup of local emerging artists.

Gary Preston and Jimmy Zee, while solo/duo finalists include Jesse Roper, Lonnie Glass, The Blues Baron, Nash Mcinnes and Murray Porter. The unmatched, family friendly waterfront park venue is courtesy of councillor Joanne Charles and the Semiahmoo First Nation. Tickets will be $15 in advance (until July 22) and $20 at the gate. Tickets are available at tickets. surrey.ca, www.whiterockblues. com, Tapestry Music, Surfside Music, or by calling 604-542-6515.

Community art The Art On Display summer series at White Rock Community Centre (15154 Russell Ave.) continues to feature visual artist Joyce Ozier’s abstract exhibit ‘Marked Panels. Panels. Panels.’ until July 17. A remount of a show first presented at Vancouver’s Zack Gallery in October, most of the show consists of groupings of large panels (in excess of six feet by six feet). The size of each painting, Ozier says, “allows the viewer to be involved physically, rather than being solely an observer… it allows for simplicity, dynamic gesture, playfulness and indeterminacy.” Second show, opening July 23, is Being Human, by Langley artist Gina Kling. Her large, imposing canvases convey images of life, love and hope in a way that harks back to the work of old-world masters. Whether painting in watercolour, or drawing freehand on cotton stretched canvas, and investing her painting with richness and detail through her skill with oils, the Emily Carrtrained, Federation of Canadian

Artists member is clearly travelling the same paths as the masters. Drawing inspiration from lesser-known biblical verses, she seeks to depict and evoke the human spirit and all our flaws – and perfections. The show will run at White Rock Community Centre until Aug. 28.

Voja Morosan Belgrade,Yugoslavia-born artist Vojislav (Voja) Morosan adopted White Rock and the Semiahmoo Peninsula area as a second home in the 1990s and became one of its most dedicated chroniclers, through meticulously accurate and highly evocative plein-air paintings. A special summer retrospective of the late artist’s work at Seventh Heaven Art and Beauty Salon (12185 Beecher St., Crescent Beach) brings home vividly his skill at capturing the topography, mood and characteristic heritage architecture of the Peninsula – much of which has since fallen to the wrecker’s hammer due to redevelopment pressure. For the nostalgic, Morosan’s glowing colours and architectural details – also the focus of a Tourism White Rock calendar last year and preserved among White Rock Museum and Archives’ collection – offer a compelling legacy. The paintings can be viewed Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. to Aug. 30, by appointment. For more information, call 778292-0687, or visit the Vojislav Morosan Facebook page.

The 39 Steps Comedic minimalism is the order of the day at Coast Capital Playhouse (1532 Johnston Rd.)

where the live-theatre version of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1935 spy thriller The 39 Steps continues until July 25. Presented by Peninsula Productions while the White Rock Players Club is on hiatus, the international hit, adapted by Patrick Barlow, plays the veryBritish tale of intrigue strictly for laughs. Four actors, using costumes and bare-bones props and set elements, attempt to evoke every scene – and change of scene – in the fast-moving plot, derived from the famous John Buchan novel. And it provides a field day for versatile players Corey Haas (as suave adventurer Richard Hannay) and Laura Caswell, Ben Odberg (The Game’s Afoot, Blithe Spirit) and Ashley O’Connell (the Arts Club’s Spamalot) as everybody else. Produced by Peninsula artistic director Wendy Bollard, The 39 Steps is directed by well-known Vancouver man-of-the-theatre Matthew Bissett. Tickets ($25; seniors/children $20) are available from www. peninsulaproductions.org or 604536-7535.

Beach House Theatre At press time there were still tickets for sale for both shows in Beach House Theatre’s week-long ‘season’ in Crescent Beach, although many of the performances of the evening show, Oscar Wilde’s classic 1895 comedy of manners The Importance of Being Earnest (Aug. 11-16) are now sold out. Directed by Beach House founders Candace Radcliffe and Rick Harmon, it’s an elaboratelycostumed, farcical comedy of dalliance among the British upper classes, featuring Tom Gage,

Patrick Dodd, Bethany Stanley, Marika Stanger, Michelle Collier, Carol Mann, James Walker, Paul Richardson and Paul Rancourt. There are still good chances, however, to book tickets for Munsch Upon A Time (Aug. 12-15), the family-oriented morning show at Beach House’s state-of-the-art tent auditorium, next to the beach on Blackie Spit. Directed by Elgin Park Players alumnus Courtney Shields, it’s another delightful collage of stories by popular children’s author Robert Munsch, featuring Aaron Holt, Claire Pollock and Matt Falletta. For tickets and more information on events, call 604-594-5888, visit beachhousetheatre.org or email tickets@beachhousetheatre.org

Trad jazz for dancing Classic live Dixieland and retro jazz sets the easy-going tempos for dancers of all age groups (19 and up) every Sunday afternoon – barring a few holidays and special events – at the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240 (2643 128 St.). Until regular sessions of the White Rock Traditional Jazz Society return in the fall, the society’s house band – Red Beans & Rice, usually led by trumpeter and vocalist Rice Honeywell Sr. – is filling in with regular 2 to 5 p.m. performances each Sunday (except Aug. 2). Admission is $10 for WRTJS and legion members, $12 for everybody else. Trad jazz enthusiasts should also note that tickets are now available for the Jazz Band Ball festival – this year hosted by the WRTJS – at Pacific Inn and Resort Centre, Sept. 25-27.

Class fee ($220) includes canvas paints and use of studio brushes. Well-known White Rock artist Chris McClure – romantic realist painter and creator of International Artist Day, and the city’s annual IAD Festival – says he plans to work directly with each student as well as demonstrating ideas to the group. Students can expect to produce two canvases over the course of the class, he said. “First day we will work on drawings of ideas to

Players’ club White Rock Players Club, on summer hiatus while independent shows like Peninsula Production’s The 39 Steps take over the Coast Capital Playhouse, is hatching an ambitious season to start its seventh decade of home-grown little theatre in the city. The first show announced for the 2015-2016 season will be a bold attempt to stage a theatrical legend – Arthur Miller’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Death of a Salesman (Oct. 7-24), a tragic study of the unravelling of tired commercial traveller Willy Loman in the late 1940s.

The club’s annual audience-pleaser, the Christmas pantomime, will return Dec. 4 - Jan. 2, updating Charlotte Johnson’s 1960 script of Cinderella under the guidance of director Lisa Pavilionis. Marc Camoletti’s 1960s door-slammer farce Boeing, Boeing is set to hit the stage March 2-19 followed by Noel Coward’s 1930s comedy of manners Private Lives (April 13-30). The announced season-closer will offer two versions of a classic comedy – a staging, on alternate nights, of both the male and female versions of Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple. Coast Capital Playhouse is located at 1532 Johnston Rd. Individual tickets are $18 for adults, $16 for students and seniors. To inquire about season-ticket options, call 604-536-7535.

Members sought Now celebrating its 30th concert season, the Fraser Valley Symphony is seeking new members in the violin, viola and percussion sections, but

also welcomes inquiries from other interested professional-calibre musicians. Performing alongside world-class instrumental and vocal soloists, the orchestra provides an opportunity for auditioned musicians to present a variety of music to audiences throughout the region. Rehearsals are held on Monday evenings, in Abbotsford. Contact info@ fraservalleysymphony. org or call 604-8593877.

Canada ousted from contention after loss to Cuba

Japan wins fifth straight title Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Chalk up another victory for Japan. For the fifth summer in a row, the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship’s women’s division crown went to the Japanese national squad, who defeated an overmatched Cuban squad 10-0 in the title game Monday night. The game lasted just three innings and ended early on account of the mercy rule, which was invoked after the champs plated all 10 runs in the third frame. Japan punched its ticket to the gold-medal game after a 6-1 win over Canada in semifinal action Sunday. The loss bumped the Canadians into the secondary bracket of the double-knockout tournament, which set up a do-or-die game Monday against Cuba, with the winner advancing to the finals. The game was scoreless through the first

half, until Canada opened the scoring in Games – which are currently being held in the bottom of the fourth when Jenn Salling Toronto – and that while finishing first here took a walk, advanced to second on a single would be ideal, it was not their number-one from Sara Riske, and then scored goal. on another single by Megan Gur“We’re trying to prepare ourski. selves, and we’re fine-tuning as we The slim lead held until the last need to, and looking after getting inning, when Cuba managed to get people the (playing time) they four hits and three runs off Cananeed to get, while at the same time dian pitcher Karissa Hovinga, who being mindful that we’re going to pitched just one inning after relievbe playing a lot of ball in a short ing starter Jenna Caira. period of time,’’ head coach Mark Caira had allowed six hits and Smith told Peace Arch News last struck out six through six innings week. “As much as we’d like to win Mark Smith of work prior to the pitching Canadian coach the Canadian Open, we also want change, but was pulled, after throwto win the gold medal at Pan-Ams ing 85 pitches. in two weeks, so we need to leave Numerous times throughout the week, here healthy and ready to go.” members of the Canadian squad said Canada has not won the Canadian Open repeatedly that they were using the Cana– nor its predecessor, the Canada Cup – dian Open as a warm-up for Pan-Am since 1996.

Team Canada was all but untouchable in the Futures Gold (U19) division at the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship. The Junior National team, which will compete at the Junior Women’s World Softball Championship from August 9-15 in Oklahoma City, surrendered just three runs in five playoff games while winning the Futures championship. They clinched the title Sunday evening with a 7-0 victory over the Delta Heat ’97. In 10 playoff and round-robin games, Team Canada was a perfect 10-0 (won-loss) with a runs for-against aggregate of 78-8. In the championship game Sunday, Taylor Lundrigan hit a two-run single in the bottom of the first inning to put Canada up 2-0. Emma Entzminger with a triple and Alisha Welch with a double drove in two runs each in the bottom of the second inning. Entzminger doubled to score a run in the sixth inning, ending the game on the mercy rule. Madison Hope earned the six inning shutout win for Canada, allowing only three hits and striking out seven. Entzminger led the way offensively with a triple, a double, a single and three runs batted in. Canada’s closest game of the tournament was a 2-1 semifinal win over the White Rock Renegades ’97 Saturday evening. Holly Speers of Surrey singled to score Courtney Gilbert for a 1-0 Canada lead in the first inning, but the Renegades tied it with three consecutive two-out singles in the bottom half of the inning. In the top of the events inning, Brielle McCullough singled to score Maude Sigouin from second base, giving Canada the one-run victory.

Cycling event begins Friday afternoon with criterium races

Two-day Tour de White Rock set for weekend Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

White Rock residents will likely notice a few more cyclists cruising around local streets this week, as competitors start trickling into town for this weekend’s Tour de White Rock. The annual cycling series – part of BC Superweek, which also includes races in Delta, UBC, Gastown and Burnaby – will kick off Friday, with the criterium in uptown White Rock, while the 134-km Peace Arch News Road Race will hit the streets

Saturday morning. Now in its 36th running, the Tour de White Rock has changed this year, and will be held over two days instead of the usual three, after organizers axed the popular hill climb, which used to run Friday evenings along Buena Vista Avenue. Now, the fan-friendly criterium – which will see riders zip around a 1-km circuit that includes Five Corners, Johnston Road and White Rock Elementary – will serve as the opening act of the racing weekend. The activities begin at 3:15 p.m.

with the Kids Bike Parade, and at 3:30 p.m., the Kids Criterium (under-12) will be held, followed at 4 p.m. by the under-15 race. At 4:30 p.m., the first men’s race (category 3/4 riders) takes off from the start line, followed by the women’s race at 5:30 p.m. and the men’s pro event an hour later. On Saturday, the road race begins at 9 a.m. down at the Marine Drive start/finish line. The race – which is 134 km for the men, and 80 km for the women – will see riders traverse a hilly course

throughout the city. The men will do 11 laps of a longer, 10-km course before moving onto a shorter circuit for the final laps, while the women will pedal through eight long laps to crown a champion. Last year, Ottawa’s Matteo DalCin cruised to victory in the men’s race, pulling away from the lead group to win by 62 seconds over second-place finisher Pierrick Naud of Montreal. The women’s race was much closer, and ended with Meghan Rathwell winning in a sprint to the

finish line; four riders crossed the finish line within four-tenths of a second of each other. Veteran German cyclist Florenz Knauer – a familiar name among longtime Tour de White Rock fans – won last year’s men’s criterium, while Allison Jackson won both the women’s criterium and the nowdefunct hill climb. Brandon Etzl – who is expected to be back on the bike this week in White Rock – won the men’s hill climb. For more on the two-day event, visit www.tourdewhiterock.com

Just eight weeks prior to the next PACWEST (Pacific Western Athletic Conference) season, some student athletes at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) are stunned to learn it could be their last. For others, their collegiate athletic careers may already be over. Last Wednesday, coaches and athletes in

the KPU Eagles Athletic Department received an email which announced â&#x20AC;&#x153;important changes in the direction for KPUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s varsity athletics program.â&#x20AC;? Minutes later, a notice on the KPU Athletics website detailed the changes, which include â&#x20AC;&#x153;winding down varsity athleticsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; activitiesâ&#x20AC;? and withdrawing from PACWEST over the next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I cried for a half-hour

Ecuador pair suit up The South Surrey-White Rock Thunder had a bit of an international

flavour at the Canadian Open International Fastpitch Championships last week. The squad â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which competed in the Futures Select division â&#x20AC;&#x201C; had on its roster a pair of players from Ecuador, Hanna Espinoza and Mica Gutierrez. The South American duo were brought north for the tournament by Thunder coach Tracey CardinalMitchell, who took her team to Ecuador for an 11-day exhibition tour/ humanitarian trip last March. It was during that trip that Cardinal-Mitchell found out that Ecuadorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which had originally planned to play at the Canadian Open this month â&#x20AC;&#x201C; would not be able to make the trip due to funding issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was, however, able to bring the two girls to the Open, and placed them with the Thunder,â&#x20AC;? CardinalMitchell explained. While here in South Surrey, Espinoza and Gutierrez spent time with Thunder coaches and players and also took time to visit local universities and colleges, Cardinal-Mitchell said. The Thunder finished the Futures Select tournament with a 1-3 win-loss record in the round robin, before losing to the Surrey Storm â&#x20AC;&#x2122;97 Selects in the first round of playoffs. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with files from Nick Greenizan

MOORE, James Crawford

Jim was a very kind, gentle and humble man who always looked out for the underdog. He was honest, accepting and respectful of diverse cultures and abilities, with a keen sense of humour. He was an adventurous traveller, a funny story teller, a voracious reader and he loved to enjoy music, political discussions and laughter with his loved ones. Jim worked in Quality Assurance and as a Passenger Agent with Air Canada for 31 years until retirement, and he took his family on many adventurous travels around the globe; including Barbados many times with his children, and to every continent.
