‘Suicidal’ claim riles family of police-shooting victim

‘Questions from a father’ over death Melissa Smalley & Tracy Holmes Staff Reporters

Nearly three weeks after he was fatally shot by police outside of a South Surrey RCMP detachment, family members of 20-year-old Hudson Brooks have more questions than answers about what happened that night. The incident, under investigation by the Independent Investigations Office, took place in the early morning hours of July

18, when, according to police, officers responded to a man screaming in the 1800block of 152 Street. Police allege a struggle ensued and Hudson was shot; an officer also suffered a non-lifethreatening gunshot wound, however, investigators confirmed two days later that only police-issued firearms were found at the scene. Matt Brooks, frustrated that news articles regarding his son’s death continue to note the

Mounties’ reference to a “suicidal” male, told Peace Arch News last Friday that the description couldn’t be further from the truth. “Suicide is something that came from the RCMP,” Brooks said, noting media repeating the reference are losing credibility in their reporting of the issue. “If it came from a caller, the caller was misinformed. Anybody that knew Hudson knows that suicide and mental-illness dia-

logue is so far from reality.” Though he didn’t want to make any additional public statement, Wednesday Brooks provided PAN with a list of questions surrounding the circumstances of his son’s death, the subsequent investigation and the lacking media coverage that has followed. Among those in Brooks’ “Questions from a Father,” he details discrepancies about i see page 4

Despite orders from the City of White Rock to shut down the Church of the Holy Smoke – and frustration from the property owner who thinks stronger action should be taken – it will continue to operate, according to the man at the helm of the Marine Drive gathering place. Prior to a brief but tense standoff Tuesday in front of his 14737 Marine Drive rental property, which included White Rock bylaw officers and several RCMP officers, Robin Douglas told

BORDER GOLD CORP.

Peace Arch News that he and supporters of his marijuana-centred church will no longer be gathering in the tent structure, instead moving the activities onto the home’s porch. “We’re not having any gatherings in the tent, but we are having gatherings in my new office, which is on the porch of my house,” Douglas said. “We still have people stopping by and people coming in and celebrating with us.” The tent is still standing in the yard, now housing his 1993 Cadillac, however, according to a notice delivered to Douglas last Friday

from the city’s director of planning and development, it is still in contravention of city zoning bylaws due to setback requirements. City bylaw officers were at the property Tuesday afternoon – along with White Rock RCMP officers and the property owner – attempting to measure the tent and yard. When Douglas refused to allow White Rock officials access, RCMP officers threatened Douglas with arrest should he continue to obstruct the city workers from the yard. i see page 4

Residents will have a chance to learn more about a highrise development proposed for the White Rock/South Surrey border at a public information meeting next week. Tuesday’s meeting, hosted by proponents Texor Homes Inc., will provide details about the 15-storey, 134-unit residential development proposed for the corner of North Bluff Road and Nichol Road, 10 blocks west of the town centre. Though Texor has never built in White Rock before, according to vice-president Howard Steiss, a 15-year resident, the company is aware of resistance faced by other proposed towers in the city. “I think it’s a tremendous challenge to create housing, especially in a city like White Rock,” Steiss said Wednesday, noting challenges developers face include preservation of single-family neighbourhoods, trees and views. “That leaves only a few places that could accommodate future housing growth that’s needed to sustain a city.” The proposal would require rezoning as well as an amendment to the city’s Official Community Plan – currently under review – which designates only White Rock’s town centre as high-density. Tuesday’s meeting takes place at the Centre for Active Living, 1475 Anderson St., from 5:30 to 7 p.m. – Melissa Smalley

78-day campaign kicks off for Peninsula’s redistributed ridings

Federal marathon hits streets Jeff Nagel Black Press File photo

Princess Party raises park funds.

Waterfront vision

All-abilities park plan embraced Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

The dream of an all-abilities playground on White Rock’s waterfront came a little closer to reality, after city council voted last week to endorse the project. The idea for a “unique, interactive play space for all ages and abilities” has been the focus of White Rock resident Myra Merkel and her son, firefighter Evan Bird, for more than five years, the duo told council Monday evening. “Our goal is to collaborate with city council and staff to garner awareness and support from the community,” Merkel said. Over five years, Merkel has raised more than $68,000 for the park, most of which has come from her annual Princess Party events. (This year’s Frozen-themed party – www.wrprincessparty.com – takes place Aug. 22.) The completed project is estimated to cost between $600,000 and $1 million, according to Bird, who noted White Rock’s East Beach would be the preferred location for the playground. Council voted unanimously to support the concept and direct staff to include the park in the city’s waterfront plan – one of council’s corporate strategic priorities – and to finalize a location, the subject of which raised some concerns. “Does it have to be on the waterfront?” Coun. Megan Knight asked. “That is our biggest challenge.” Merkel responded that it was her “dream” for the playground to be built on the waterfront, noting it would be an asset to the city’s tourism sector as well as a boon for the community. Mayor Wayne Baldwin suggested that staff explore the option of a temporary location inland, where equipment can be installed, to be relocated to the waterfront once approval has been granted from the appropriate channels. “This is a dream that is getting close to reality, but unfortunately it’s going to be subject to forces outside of our control, i.e. the province and the federal government, with respect to approvals,” Baldwin said, noting it could take the city another five years to get the go-ahead. “I’d like to have that (temporary location) opportunity so that this doesn’t just go on and on forever, with no end in sight.”

The Semiahmoo Peninsula will be going to the polls this fall with one more riding and a longer campaign. The federal election campaign has officially started, as Prime Minister Stephen Harper has set in motion a process for a 78-day campaign – the longest in modern history. Locally, a redistribution of federal election boundaries – as a result of population growth – means Newton is now a standalone riding, rather than sharing its boundaries with Delta, and Cloverdale has been hived off from South Surrey-White Rock and now shares Langley City for representation. Surrey-Centre replaces Surrey-North, and Fleetwood-Port Kells remains the same. The prime minister visited Governor General David Johnston at Rideau Hall Sunday morning to dissolve Parliament and begin the election, set for Oct. 19. The voting day had been fixed in legislation and party leaders had been in campaign mode for weeks, but dropping the writ this far ahead means spending limits will be in force for much longer than the typical 36 days.

That will give a financial advantage to Harper and the Conservatives, according to SFU political scientist Patrick Smith. “They certainly have the largest war chest,” Smith said. “Money matters in politics.” He predicts the Tories will far outspend their rivals and might be in a position to blitz advertising channels late in the campaign when opponents’ coffers – the NDP, Liberals, Greens and others – may be nearly exhausted. A campaign more than twice the usual length means a spending limit twice as high – more than $50 million per party – that only the Tories have a realistic shot at fully exploiting. “They have more money than the other parties so they can withstand a longer race.” The early writ drop means third-party advertising – such as union-funded anti-Tory attack ads by Engage Canada – will now be subject to a tight $200,000 spending limit, largely clamping down on their influence. That was a key motivation for starting the campaign now rather than waiting, Smith said. “It shuts up third-party advertising and at the moment they see that as problematic.” A long, financial war of attrition on the hustings could have ramifications beyond the

election. Smith currently predicts a Conservative minority. In that scenario, he says, a cash-depleted or possibly indebted Opposition will be less inclined to topple a minority Tory government and force a new election. “They’re not likely to try to trigger an election in the first six months, so that helps stabilize a Conservative minority,” Smith said. “So people who think about the longer game will be thinking about those kinds of things.” The longest campaign in more than a century will also mean higher costs to taxpayers. Elections Canada’s costs will be higher, and more spending than usual by the parties would translate into a higher government subsidy back to the them for use in future campaigns. As for significant issues, Smith expects the federal push for new oil pipelines across B.C. will hurt the Conservatives in this province. But he said the slowing economy will be the dominant issue on voters’ minds. “If the economy is bad, do we have to stay with Harper because he’s the best man to manage it or does he get the blame?” The bigger danger for Harper is that “once people start humming the change tune, it’s pretty hard to reverse it.”

Cassidy Patton, 18, Kenzie Tran, 18, and Sonya Kang, 17, work on a legacy ‘Stream of Dreams’ fish mural last week in Blackie Spit Park.

Youth team has employed more than 540 students

Celebrating 20 years of preservation Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The North Shore mountains created a majestic backdrop for a colourful legacy project that unfolded along a fence in a corner of Blackie Spit Park last week. “It turned out really well,” said J.P. Hervieux, co-leader of the Salmon Habitat Restoration Program (SHaRP) watershed enhancement team that installed around 70 painted wooden fish in the ‘Stream of Dreams’-style mural on July 30. The project, done with the Stream of Dreams Society, was to mark SHaRP’s 20th year of pro-

tecting and enhancing fish habitats in the city. Employing high-school students for the summer – and post-secondary students as team leaders – SHaRP crews’ efforts also include invasive-plant removal, riparian planting and water-quality testing. Since its creation in 1996, more than 540 students have been a part of the program. Hervieux said the wooden fish that now grace the Blackie Spit fence in Crescent Beach – near the Maple Drainage Pump Station – were painted during a reunion event about two weeks ago, when 170 SHaRP alumni gathered

to reminisce. He noted the mural project is one-half of the legacy effort. The other is further north, near the Scott Road SkyTrain station, where an area was cleared of blackberry bushes and replanted. Last week in Blackie Spit, the team also placed “woody debris” in a site immediately east of the fish mural, in preparation for fall planting. Hervieux said the logs would help bring moisture into the area. The day before, they worked with Ducks Unlimited to remove invasive spartina from the Nicomekl estuary.

Landlord upset by city’s response i from page 1 Douglas eventually relented and allowed them on site, noting he was doing so “under duress.” Exchanges between Douglas and his landlord – who would not give his name – were heated. “I gave you a warning to leave this property last month, why are you still here?” the landlord shouted, referring to an eviction notice served in early June. The landlord, who said he has owned the property since 1993 and began renting to Douglas last November, said he was surprised the situation has yet to be resolved. “The City of White Rock can’t

take care of him?” he said. “I’m totally surprised. They’re sending him all kinds of letters. Just put him in jail!” Douglas moved his church operations out of the tent and onto the porch after the city ordered the tent be removed and operations ceased – with a deadline of July 31 – citing public safety and the property’s use as an assembly place was in contravention of city bylaws. A city spokesperson confirmed Tuesday that the tent had not been removed, after Douglas advised officials that “our facility is now closed as of midnight

tonight, Friday the 31st of July.” Because the tent is being used as a workshop, the spokesperson said, “the public safety issues have been resolved with the cease of public-assembly use.” A hearing is set with the province’s tenancy branch for Aug. 12 to address Douglas’ eviction notice. The landlord said if it is not resolved, he is “going straight to the ministry.” Douglas told PAN Wednesday that his lawyer is planning to file an injunction against the city, and that his church supporters will continue to “worship God without fear of persecution.”

Investigators ‘committed’ i from page 1 who initially labelled Hudson as “suicidal,” the need for clarification about whether the 911 call was made before or after shots were fired and frustration that it took more than 11 hours for family members to be informed about his son’s death, despite it occurring 2½ blocks from his home. Brooks also questioned why such lethal force was used on his son. “Why does it take gunfire for three trained officers to subdue an unarmed young man?” he writes. While Brooks singled out individual officers and officials as being “great at what they do,” he also asked: “Why are some so careless and incompetent? You know who you are.” Brooks expressed disbelief that, when he inquired with the IIO as to the investigation’s progress, he was told it would be nine months for the ballistics report to be completed. Asked Wednesday for an update on the case’s timeline, IIO spokesperson Kellie Kilpatrick told PAN via email that the investigation is dependent on firearm and ballistics reports and as such, will “take time to conclude, as will any major case investigation done by law enforcement.” Kilpatrick said no information relating to 911 calls or video surveillance will be released until the case is concluded. At that point, she said, if charges are recommended, no evidence will be disclosed; however, if the case goes to public report with no charges, the evidence will be made public. Kilpatrick acknowledged the devastation felt by the victim’s family and in the community over Hudson Brooks’ death and frustration over the lack of information available to them. “None of this will satisfy the family

Memorial grows near police station. or the community – we know that,” Kilpatrick said. “We are committed to providing the family with support and information as we are able, and we are very sorry that this is the reality for the family.” A tribute to Hudson in front of the RCMP detachment continues to grow, with dozens of candles, flowers, cards and signs reading ‘Justice for Hudson’ adorning a concrete flowerbed next to the underground parking entrance. Further frustrating family and friends was a sign, with the City of Surrey logo, placed among the tribute items late last week, requesting no open flames be placed on the tribute due to the current fire hazard. “Why would the City of Surrey be so petty and small as to place a sign at Hudson’s memorial?” Brooks asked. A city spokesperson told PAN via email Thursday morning that the sign was put up “out of a genuine fire concern as a result of the flowers, foliage and paper signs” present at the memorial. As of Wednesday afternoon, the sign was no longer present; the city has no plans to replace the sign, the spokesperson said.

‘Significant effort’ has gone into review

presents luxurious Crystal Cruises

Safety ‘our top priority’ Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

Transport Canada says that it has thoroughly reviewed the use of shoulder harnesses in small aircraft, in response to claims from the parents of a crash victim that their calls for change have fallen on deaf ears. “Transport Canada has devoted significant effort into reviewing and researching the use of shoulder harnesses in small aircraft,” Roxane Marchand, Transport Canada’s senior media relations advisor, told Peace Arch News via email Tuesday afternoon. Since the 2012 death of their daughter Lauren, and her boyfriend Dallas Smith, in a crash near Kelowna, Greg and Fran Sewell have called on Transport Canada to act on repeated recommendations from both the Transportation Safety Board as well as the coroner’s service to mandate that small aircraft built before 1978 be retrofitted with shoulder harnesses. Sewell, 24, and Smith, 30, were passengers in a Piper Twin Comanche plane that crashed Aug. 13, 2012. Smith, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, died on impact. Lauren, who had been seated

Greg and Fran Sewell are set to launch a website to gain support for safety reforms. immediately behind the pilot, died two days later from what doctors told her parents was an “unsurvivable brain injury.” A coroner’s report issued last October ruled that the crash was

accidental, but also made two recommendations: that planes like the Piper be retrofitted with harnesses; and that consideration be given to development of a mountain-flying course. “Under the Canadian Aviation Regulations… regulations require that the safety belt, including shoulder restraint if one is available, be worn for landing and takeoff and at any other time the pilot in command deems it necessary. Transport Canada continues to promote safety and the use of seat belts, and shoulder harnesses where available, through education and awareness campaigns,” Marchand said. “Our thoughts go out to those who lost loved ones in the 2012 Kelowna crash. Safety is Transport Canada’s top priority.” On Aug. 13, the Sewell family will launch a new website - www. smallaircraftsafetyreform.com – as an avenue to gain more support for suggested reforms. “What happened to Lauren should not happen to any other family,” Greg Sewell told PAN last week. “It’s just screaming out for change, the government is ignoring it and we want the regulations changed.” – with files from Tracy Holmes

Slow down, stay safe

N

ear the beginning of every summer – before people take to our province’s highways in greater numbers for family vacations, music festivals, camping or the like – the word goes out about staying safe on the road. Police and other community groups – not to mention countless editorials in newspapers and othe media – are quick to espouse the dangers of excessive speed, distracted driving, driving under the influence or driving without undo care. But despite the warnings, the summer never goes by without hearing of serious crashes both here in the Lower Mainland, and elsewhere across B.C. In the last few weeks alone, major crashes on the Coquihalla Highway and Highway 1 in the Okanagan – two involving buses – have closed roads, and resulted in serious injuries, even death. Perhaps drivers’ attention spans are diminished this time of year, or maybe there is some scientific reason for what seems to be an increase in traffic accidents. Or maybe it’s just bad luck. For certain, during the summer, there are many drivers anxious – perhaps over-anxious – to get to their destination, be it a summer cabin, or simply to a family barbecue. Regardless of the journey’s end, it’s worth taking a little extra time to plan ahead for the travel, whether it be the route you’re taking, the time you depart or a combination of the two. Both can pose challenges with more people on the roads, and create unnecessary stress that often leads to aggressive and unsafe driving actions. We’ve all seen people passing when it’s unsafe, driving at overly high speeds or tailgating, to name but a few indiscretions. If no crash or mishap occurs as a result of such actions, the people victimized by such aggressive driving can count themselves lucky. But that’s not always the case. As the popular bumper sticker states, “Failure to plan on your part does not dictate an emergency on my part.” How true. Demonstrating patience is not necessarily taught by driving schools or listed in any handbook, but it’s a critically important aspect of defensive driving. Preventing all examples of dangerous driving on the highway, or even lower-speed roads, is impossible, but we can all still do our part to limit the damage. At the very least, remember to breathe when behind the wheel. You’ll get there eventually, even without driving like a knucklehead.

Are we that mob? And are we convinced we’re that right? To be fair to some of those accused in cases of overheated dogs left in partially open cars on warm days, it’s clear that many of the accusers have become experts on the effects on body temperatures and canine health. (No excuse for risking living creatures’ health, but certainly degrees of risk should be taken into account when deciding whether – and how much – to publicly shame somebody. No?) It’s clear that we in the western world haven’t really come that far in the years since Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote of an era where the scarlet ‘A’ was puritanically emblazoned on select sinners’ clothing after word of mouth spread like wildfire. And now technology is making it that much easier to destroy a person in nanoseconds, without a second thought. In the case of the police, though, I do support the idea of body cameras and audio devices being worn by all officers at all times on duty – with real-time transmitting, if technology allows. This would no doubt protect the officers themselves as much as those whom they are policing. As for the rest of us, I suggest we assume somebody’s got a camera on us at all times, as well. While it would be nice to think we’re all on our best behaviour at all times, a few seconds could ruin our reputations in perpetuity. Yesterday it was the other guy. Tomorrow it could be you.

Planning a better city

Editor: Re: Environmentalist quits city committee, July 17. It was with disbelief, mingled with both sadness and fear, that I read your article on the departure of Bob Campbell from Surrey’s Environmental, Sustainable, Advisory Committee. I have known Campbell for some time now and have developed a profound respect for his dedication to the well being of Surrey’s lands and people. When I hear of the disrespect shown this mannerly and knowledgable individual, it leaves me wondering what on earth the committee found fault with. Could it be that he spoke the truth? Governments are seldom happy to hear these uncomfortable details, interfering as they do with preconceived agendas. Stories such as this shake my belief in the “committee,” itself. That is, the process whereby the citizen gets to sit with council and offer valuable input from the standpoint of the people who live here. Indeed, it appears more and more, to be an empty exercise, and a sham. When one has given countless hours of his life, in good faith, to this process, only to discover that his very presence there is only for appearances, democracy itself has been mocked. Campbell’s absence will be a great loss to the people of Surrey that he fought for. The same holds true for the other very worthy citizens who preceded him and also felt forced to leave as they were not being heard. Sybil Rowe, Surrey Q I’ve know Bob Campbell since the early-’80s, and he has always been one of those people who, when they don’t think something is right, they get involved usually in a big way. To me, he has always stood for what is right and not politically expedient. He knows his stuff and I would say almost everything he has said or speculated has been true. With that in mind, why does one of our politicians, Coun. Bruce Hayne, give Bob such a bad time? Why is Hayne trying to muzzle information Bob is seeking or giving out at these meetings? Of course, Bob is very concerned about the environment and the impact of our city’s decisions on the tremendous amount of building or development going on and trees disappearing so fast and furious. Everything we decide to do with development also has impact on the overall picture, even as far as global warming. We need as many trees we can hang on to for the air we breathe, among other things. Does Hayne have friends who are developers? Why has he chosen this path to mock Bob about his caring? From both sides of this we need to figure out where it is coming from and is there any financial or other gains to be made beyond the contributions and time made by Bob over these issues. Keep up the fight. Brian Lauder, Surrey

Editor: Re: City takes closer look at tower plans, July 29. Densification appears to be in vogue in urban planning all over North America these days, so it should not be difficult for the planners on these three projects to study the impact of such changes. Certainly the negatives include massive change to the character of the neighbourhood. That is a given. One of the perceived benefits is a broadening of the White Rock residential tax base. In as much as the proposed developments include almost 175 new units, and the Evergreen home has undergone a substantial addition, there will be a large increase in infrastructure requirements. Water, electricity, heating fuel, parking, transit, fire protection, police protection, a possible influx of children needing education at schools, to name a few. I may be stupid, but my experience over the last 40 years

suggests to me that more residents tend to consume as much or more infrastructure needs and municipal services as pre-existing residents. This is one of the reasons that many municipalities across Canada encourage commercial and industrial development, as these businesses pay a higher tax rate than residential, and consume less. As it happens, land is too expensive in White Rock to allow for this type of planning. I do recall, several years ago, the presentation of the Bosa project at Thrift Avenue and Johnston Road, to include four highrise towers, including a couple of floors to accommodate a Campus of Kwantlen Polytechnic University. Some years later, we have seen the building of two towers, minus Kwantlen. Perhaps the remaining space might be a more appropriate location for highrise development, as it is in the downtown, main street area, perhaps it could include some retail space at street level. Hopefully, the city will consider these projects carefully. Otherwise we may be reunited with Surrey, more quickly than we anticipated. Bob Holden, White Rock

Q An open letter to White Rock council. The roar of a bulldozer and cracking of trees falling on Vidal Street caught my attention. White Rock of the present and future. Trees taken down, wildlife fleeing, plants destroyed… Then we can look forward to a ghetto of ‘upscale’ highrises in this area of White Rock. Basically from Oxford to Vidal there will be as many ‘high-end’ condos shoehorned in as city council will allow. Never mind the OCP, as it does not seem to come into play when developers want to build in White Rock. Where is the family housing, co-op housing, low-income housing? None of it is in the planning, from what is being presented now or in the future. Looks like we will have a right side and wrong side of the tracks in White Rock. I ask you to take a long hard look and try and imagine the city in the future. How about traffic overload? Parks? Trees? Adequate infrastructure? Maybe even affordable family housing. That would be nice. Audrey Belotte, White Rock

The death of Cecil the lion at the hands of a U.S. trophy hunter highlights the need for change, writes K. Ross.

How can we be the same species? Editor: The media has been ablaze with news of the murder of Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe, as it should. Hopefully the outrage will continue and the despicable activity known as “trophy hunting” will be relegated to the Dark Ages where it belongs. This sort of wanton killing that was rampant in the 1800s and 1900s began the dramatic demise of so many of the world’s creatures. There is a big difference between hunting a deer to put meat in the freezer, and killing an endangered animal to put its head on your wall. To call it a sport implies it is a competition, and that the animal is a willing participant with a chance against man’s high-power weaponry. Its only chance is not being spotted in the first place. Hunt supporters say it helps sustain the populations of these animals. How? Hunters want the best animals for their gruesome trophies. These are the very animals that have defined the odds and survived long enough to become the dominant breeding animals. In this age, when so many species are in steep decline and genetic diversity of surviving populations is dwindling, how can removal of the fittest specimens help the species? They call it “harvesting” like it’s a crop that will regrow. Another argument is that non-hunters are hypocritical if they are not vegetarians. There is a big difference between animals raised solely for human consumption. This is not to take away the fact these are also sentient creatures that should be treated humanely, but they

have been bred for this purpose alone and do not belong to a natural ecosystem. Wild animals do have a vital role in their environment, and hunters have no idea what the repercussions of removing an individual will be. This brings us to the B.C. trophy hunting business. Google ‘B.C. bear hunt’ and you will find pictures of smiling killers – just like Cecil’s – with their “harvest”. And the number of hunting licenses is on the increase. I know some people eat bear – but a cougar? a wolf? No, this is killing for fun… nothing else. Surely enough top predators get killed because they have strayed into our ever-growing human territory. What gives us the right to track them down in their own territory and kill them? If this is not premeditated murder, I don’t know what is. How can this be condoned by our government? Yes, some people make a living at this, but does that make it right? No, killing for pleasure is morally wrong in any situation. Hopefully, Cecil’s legacy is the demise of the trophyhunting business, but sadly I doubt it. Money talks and these killers are wealthy. There are compassionate people who help the humblest of creatures, and there are those who derive pleasure from killing the most magnificent and rare. How can we be the same species? K. Ross, Surrey

That would be approximately what many provincial government deputy ministers are paid to run complex ministries, but not as much as some public-sector executives.

Tolls rise Tolls are rising 15 cents to $3.15 per crossing to use the Port Mann Bridge. The province’s Transportation Investment Corp. said last week that the increase from $3 for small vehicles effective Aug. 15 is required to keep up with the costs of operating and maintaining the project and repaying the debt. The bridge opened in late 2012 with a one-year half-price discount for users that signed onto the TReO electronic payment system early enough. Tolls had not been raised since then. TransLink also raised the toll on the Golden Ears Bridge this summer, increasing by five cents per crossing. – Jeff Nagel

Mayors have minimal that position, which is voted on oversight powers, yet under the by other mayors, because some of TransLink legislation, they are them felt he was too close to the the only elected officials with provincial government. responsibility for the tax dollars Fassbender has long believed it collects – other than the in a long-term vision for provincial minister in charge. transportation in the Lower It also needs to do a better Mainland, one which would see job of communicating with its the province, TransLink and customers, particularly when municipalities co-ordinating there are major breakdowns

and disruptions, such as when SkyTrain is shut down for hours. Fassbender has seen it from a mayor’s perspective, and now he will see it from a provincial perspective. As a Surrey MLA and former Langley City mayor, he also knows the critical need to expand TransLink services in the fast-growing South Fraser region. Knowing all these perspectives well is a huge benefit. He will make changes, and hopefully they will help TransLink to do an even better job. He has promised there will be significant changes by the end of the year, and has called on the board to suspend its search for a new CEO until the future direction has been made plain. Hopefully, long-term planning will be co-ordinated so that plans for a Deas Island bridge, more universal (and lower-priced) tolling, new rapid transit projects and bus service expansion are all considered at the same time, and not by different government agencies ensconced in their silos. After all, there is only one taxpayer. Fassbender was given the education minister’s job when elected. His mandate there was to reach a bargained contract with the BC Teachers Federation. It was a tough task, and he endured a lot of name-calling and pressure as the teachers’ strike dragged on. But he hung in there, and to his credit (and the BCTF’s), they managed to reach a contract at the bargaining table – a rarity in B.C. education labour P U B L I C N OT I C E relations.

Tia Berezan chosen to lead Youth Ambassador team

Miss White Rock ‘surprised, honoured’ Alex Browne

A

Staff Reporter

new Miss White Rock has been chosen, along with fellow royalty to represent the city as part of the 2015-2016 Youth Ambassador team. Tia Berezan, 16, Miss White Rock Players, won the Miss White Rock crown at last Friday’s awards gala at Coast Capital Playhouse. Chosen as princesses were Annie Lu, 16, Miss Peace Arch News, and Kitty Sun, 16, Miss Royal Canadian Legion Branch #8. Miss Tourism White Rock, Sydney McDuff, 16, was selected as the 2015 Friendship Ambassador. Rounding out the team – which will represent White Rock in events in the community and also through B.C. and in Washington State – will be ambassadors Audrey Woo, Claire Yen, Grace Lo and Kan Saarni. Berezan, who is going into Grade 12 at Earl Marriott Secondary in September, said she was surprised to hear herself named Miss White Rock, after the choices for Friendship Ambassador and the two princesses were announced. “I was just excited to hear who it was going to be,” she said, adding that she had enjoyed getting to know all the other contestants through the preliminary judging events. “We all get along very well – everyone is super-nice and very friendly. I was very surprised, because all the other girls are very talented. Any one of them would have done a good job as Miss White Rock, but I’m very honoured to be chosen. “I don’t think it really sank in until the next day. It was a shock – but a very good shock.” Berezan said the gala – and her win – was also exciting for a lot of family members who had come out to support her. “My sister and parents and aunt and uncle and cousins were there,” she said, adding that she has three younger siblings; Connor, 14, Josh, 12 and Catalina 10. “They’re all very happy for me,” she said. Berezan said she was also very grateful for the sponsorship of the White Rock Players Club. “I’ve been going to see the Christmas pantomime since I was very young. It’s a real family tradition and I love going to it.” Berezan said what attracted her to the Youth Ambassador program was the opportunity to volunteer. “I’m really looking forward to giving back to the community and learning a lot from

the people I meet,” she said. Although she has lived on the Peninsula her whole life, she found she learned a lot during the events leading up to the awards gala – including many facts about White Rock’s history and its appeal as a tourism destination. A keen musician – she plays piano and sings – she has also been an enthusiastic soccer player for 11 years, and it’s something

she still enjoys, although she no longer plays competitively. Program co-chair Debbie Ward said the gala also paid tribute to White Rock parade float creators Deanna Pedersen and Laverne Hogg, who have rebuilt the ocean-themed vehicle this year to make it more resilient for travelling to out-of-town parade events. A revived float-touring schedule – upcoming stops this summer include

Nanaimo, West Kelowna, Osoyoos, the Okanagan, Penticton and New Westminster – has created even more chances for the youth ambassadors to travel and rotate duties through the year, she said. “It hasn’t been like this for at least two decades,” Ward said. “The ambassadors used to travel quite a bit through the program – but now they go wherever the float’s going.” And Berezan said that’s that’s just fine with her . “I’m really excited to travel around to all these places – and it’s really an honour to get to represent White Rock.”

at White Rock Volkswagen, it was an opportunity to express a need for more consistent pickup of tires collected at the dealership for recycling. The site is not a designated drop-off for used tires, but does amass old tires through the sale of new tires. Space to store them, however, is limited. “He needs once a week (pickup),” Belton said.

The service “has to be tailored to everyone,” she added, “which is part of why we’re out here.” Belton said she is confident the tour is making a difference, both in improving the recycling stewardships and spreading the word. Active in the environment and recycling “all my life,” she said it’s important to let people know that it doesn’t take superhuman effort to do their part. For example, old medications can be taken to a local pharmacy; burntout lightbulbs can be dropped off at London Drugs. “That’s a big thing, is making people realize how easy it is,” Belton said.

Tour operator heeds radio call

Crabbers rescued Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

Andrew Newman’s new eco-tourism venture has kept him even busier than expected this summer. For starters, the owner of White Rock Sea Tours – which has been operating from the White Rock pier since early July – has been busy taking customers on boat tours and whale-watching trips. But the longtime volunteer with the Crescent Beach-based Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue has also spent more time than expected doing what he’s been doing for years – helping boaters in distress. Newman’s latest rescue mission came Monday around 8 p.m., when, after hearing an emergency radio broadcast from the Coast Guard, he rescued two men whose dinghy had capsized in Semiahmoo Bay. The men were out checking their crab traps. Newman had been at the pier with his Zodiac when he heard the call come over the radio. “As any mariner does, you monitor channel 16 on the radio, and when these things come up,

you respond,� Newman explained. “The water was pretty choppy out there, and I guess they flipped over.� After pulling the men from the water and onto his 25-foot Zodiac, Newman gave the crabbers – who had been in the water about 10 minutes – jackets and toques to warm them up. Upon returning to the pier to meet an ambulance, the men’s conditions had improved enough that they chose to leave on their own, Newman said. It wasn’t the first rescue effort Newman’s been involved in since starting White Rock Sea Tours earlier this summer. A week ago, Newman said, he helped a paddle boarder return to shore after the weather turned ugly in Semiahmoo Bay, and in between his commercial tours, he’s also aided a handful of watercraft to have suffered mechanical issues on the water. “If I can assist, then I will. Once you’ve been in the rescue business, it’s tough to ignore somebody (in distress) when you hear it come over the radio,� Newman said.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation? good solution for most people.

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out. A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells� are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises.

quiet sounds are no longer naturally amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened. This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a

This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak AudÊo V’s hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background. Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a demonstration to see whether they notice an improvement. Interested people can register for a free hearing evaluation and a no-obligation demonstration of the AudÊo V hearing aids by calling 1.888.408.7377.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Author finds a novel way to share family’s history Boaz Joseph Black Press

Boaz Joseph photo

Rose Seiler Scott shares family story.

When Rose Seiler Scott was 10, her grandparents were about to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary in Surrey. The pair had just had portraits taken, and Rose’s mother, Dorothy, was having trouble deciding which of the small proofs she would have enlarged. In some of the photos, her

grandparents looked happy; in others, stern, gazing into the distance. Rose’s mother sought a Surrey neighbour’s assistance in choosing, and the neighbour pointed to one photo which had serious faces and declared “that one tells a story.” The young girl began to ask questions, which over the years amounted to an incomplete, but

interesting family history. A typical family, in theory. But the Seiler family, on her father’s side, was ethnic German, and farmed in central Poland as far back as the mid-19th century, until they were uprooted at the end of the Second World War. The Seiler family story is told by Rose in fictionalized form in her first novel, Threaten To Undo Us, which was published in May.

“I tried to make the family history as accurate as possible,” she says. There are parallels in the story with the real family, including a mother of four children in the midst of the war (the real one had five children in tow) and the gradual unravelling of the life she knew.

Boulevard trees need your help to get water during hot and dry times. If your boulevard tree is less than 15 feet tall (that’s about twice the height of your front door) please water it regularly.

White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin congratulates Garry Dosa on his win.

Contest sought White Rock pride

City honours photogs During Stage 3 Water Restrictions you are permitted to water boulevard trees with hand-held, spring-loaded shut-off nozzles. Water twice a week for 15 minutes with a slow stream of water (that’s about 20 litres of water) to ensure it soaks into the ground.

A handful of participants in a recent photography contest were honoured by the City of White Rock at a council meeting last month. The contest was launched in May, as part of the city’s Official Community Plan review, and asked participants to submit photos that reflected their pride for White Rock. More than 100 entries were submitted in three age categories, according to staff, including adult, senior and child. The overall winning photograph was submitted by Garry Dosa, whose snapshot entitled ‘Pier at Night’ captured still waters, hazy skies and a full moon reflecting upon

Semiahmoo Bay. Another of Dosa’s submissions, a picture of White Rock at night shot from the water, also tied for first place with Zihni Ozselman in the adult category. First prize in the senior category went to Suzyn Regan’s image of the pier shot on a foggy morning, and honorable mention in the child category was given to Cristiano Rosini, who submitted a photo of a child in a tree. First-place winners in each category received a print of their photograph, presented by Mayor Wayne Baldwin. – Melissa Smalley

RENOVATING DECORATING BUILDING ®

WHITE ROCK

‘Plot was all there’ FARMERS’ MARKET › from page 17 alternate version of Scott’s grandmother Eugenie – struggles to get to the Oder River, the new western border of Poland as the Soviets retook the country from the Germans. The civilian history of the region is seldom told, or even discussed – victors tend to write history – but involved the migration of millions of ethnic Germans from the “East.” Scott struggled though official histories written in German – “it takes me an hour to translate a paragraph” – and found few public accounts by those who emigrated that were written in English. (Being German in the years following the war was not a source of pride or subject of sympathy in the West, so most new immigrants kept quiet). Scott, 52, a parttime piano teacher and mother of four, researched the subject

off and on for about 12 years. But her family’s history, even when told to her in bits and pieces over the years, was a catalyst for writing the novel. “The plot was all there,” Scott says. It’s important, she says, to remember where we came from. Growing up, Scott learned about the war and the Holocaust, and felt that history included everyone – even that of her father Oswald, who was a seven-year-old German boy when the war ended. Oswald currently lives in Surrey with his wife Dorothy. Rose Seiler Scott will host a book signing on Aug. 9 from 1:302:30 p.m. at Black Bond Books, #1-15562 24 Ave. Threaten to Undo Us is available in paperback or for download at Amazon. ca, as well as in-store and online at Chapters and Black Bond Books.

to more experienced youth musicians like Ava Carich, Richard Tichelman and Ruby Gawthrop – are working on both a solo song and one with band backing. “Yesterday, the whole day, we worked without the band, going through the songs and all the chord changes. “Today, we’re adding the band and working out arrangements. There are some original compositions and some cover songs. We’ve been adding sections, raising parts and making sure it all fits. That’s been a big lesson.” He turns to the participants. “Did you guys think that rehearsing was like this?” he asks. “It’s pretty challenging. It’s a profound test to perform songs in front of people on stage. People think you just get up there and do your thing.” But it’s clear the participants are gleaning a benefit from the process. Singer-guitarist Brittney Bennett, 16, said she appreciates that Black and Sumner have ensured that everyone in the group has input and a chance to observe the others work on their numbers. “It’s a lesson for me to listen to everyone else, absorbing everything that’s going on. It’s great to be together in a group where everyone is the same as you and interested in the same thing.” “We all, or most of us, know each other,” Carich adds. “It’s not a drag listening to each other.”

Softball City hosts top under-21 women’s teams this weekend

Western championships in full swing Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Softball City is abuzz with activity this week, as some of the top women’s softball teams from throughout the western provinces have hit the field. The 2015 U21 Women’s Western Canadian Softball Championships began yesterday (Thursday) and are set to run at Softball City until Sunday afternoon. The event is hosted by the Cloverdale Fury, one of eight teams vying for a championship.

Other teams taking part include the North Shore Avalanche; Calgary Xtreme; Strathmore Thunder (Calgary); a regional Lower Mainland regional squad, also called Fury; the Earl Gray Heat and UK Royals – both from Saskatchewan – as well as the reigning provincial U21 champions, the Nanaimo Bomb Squad. When it was announced back in January that the tournament would be staged in South Surrey, a men’s U21 event was also planned to run concurrently, but was later cancelled due to having a lack of teams.

Fans of softball who venture out to the park can expect to see some high-level action, said Softball BC’s chief operating officer Rick Benson, who works out of Softball City. “These are all young women who’ve graduated from the minor-softball system, and started university or work, and now they’re just out here playing for their own enjoyment, and the level of play has typically been very high,” he said. “B.C. has always had strong teams, and now all these teams from Saskatchewan and

Alberta have very strong teams every year, too.” The tournament opened with a handful of games Thursday afternoon, while an opening ceremony was held in the evening. All eight teams are on the field today, with games beginning at 9 a.m. and running into the evening. After round-robin games wrap up Saturday afternoon, playoff-round contests begin at 5 p.m. On Sunday, the championship game will be held at 1 p.m., at Softball City’s main diamond.

White Rock U18s win first games in Montreal

Renegades perfect at nationals Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The White Rock Renegades ’97 are perfect through five games at Canadian U18 Women’s Fastpitch Championships in Montreal, as they aim for a national title. After going a perfect 4-0 in the opening round of the 21-team tournament – outscoring the opposition 22-3 along the way – White Rock won its first playoff game Wednesday evening, 4-2 over Manitoba’s Smitty’s ’98. They played their second playoff-round tilt Thursday evening after Peace Arch News’ deadline. Katelyn Humhej earned the win in the pitcher’s circle for the Renegades Wednesday, pitching a seven-inning complete game, striking out seven while allowing just three hits. The Renegades – who scored single runs in the first, third, fourth and fifth innings – had eight hits themselves, led by third base Chelsea Hotner, who hit a home run in the third inning. After staking themselves to a 4-0 lead, White Rock gave up two runs to Manitoba in the sixth frame, but managed to hold on to the victory, as i see page 23

The White Rock Junior Tritons have set their sights on a BC Junior Premier Baseball League title – and the quest begins today in North Vancouver. The Tritons are among eight BCJPBL under-16 squads vying for a provincial title this weekend at Parkgate Park, having qualified for the postseason after a seventh-place finish in the 10-team league. White Rock finished with an 18-18 win-loss record in the regular season, and though they’ll face stiff competition this weekend, head coach Sean Camilleri is confident his team will be able to finish in the top half of the four-team round-robin pool in which his team finds itself. The Tritons are in a division alongside the host North Shore Junior Twins (24-12 win-loss

i from page 21 Hotner struck out three in the Prairie squad’s last at-bats in the ninth. The Renegades and another B.C. entry, the Delta Heat ’97s – winners of the B.C. championship last month – were the cream of the crop during the round-robin portion of the tournament, both finished 4-0. Another B.C. squad, the Surrey Storm ’98, also advanced into the 16-team playoff round, after a 2-2 finish in the round robin. Storm ’98 struggled in their first game Sunday against the Alberta-champion Calgary Kaizen, falling 11-0 in five innings. Demi Rose and Taylore Jones singled to account for the

only two hits from the Surrey side. The Storm recovered Monday afternoon for a 7-3 victory over the Winnipeg Lightning. Brooke Derkson was threefor-four with an RBI and a run scored for Surrey, with Noelle Johnson adding a pair of hits. Jessica Fasolino was the winning pitcher, allowing three unearned runs on three hits. She had nine strikeouts and didn’t allow a walk. Fasolino collected another complete-game victory Tuesday morning, throwing a two-hit shutout as the Storm edged the Brampton Blazers 1-0. Fasolino allowed just two singles, didn’t give up a walk
