Civic expropriation to close Riverside Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
The owner of a South Surrey business is being forced to close his doors after nearly 50 years, after the city expropriated his family’s King George Boulevard property. Ken Poirier, general manager of Riverside Golf Centre at 3600 King George Blvd. told Peace Arch News this week that it is “beyond his comprehension” why the city would force the sale of the 16-acre parcel of land, which currently houses a driving range, Par 3 nine-
hole golf course and pro shop. According to the expropriation notice delivered in January, and a subsequent inquiry that took place in April, the city’s objective is to “acquire open land for park purposes for biodiversity conservation, passive recreation and the viewing of wildlife and scenery.” “They’re shutting down a business that has been in the community for nearly half a century,” Poirier said. “Why do we have to be sacrificed for a conservation area? It’s a beautiful park already,
where you can have active recreation.” The city also plans to extend Crescent Road across King George Boulevard, to connect with Winter Crescent. Poirier said he has received an outpouring of support from “outraged” customers, and has collected close to 500 signatures on a petition calling for the city to halt its plans. Yet, according to City of Surrey solicitor Anthony Capuccinello, the expropriation was completed in June, and the city already i see page 4

Police investigate a rollover crash, involving a cement pumper truck, at King George Boulevard south of Highway 10 early Wednesday morning.

Truck driver critical in dramatic crash Kevin DIakiw Black Press
A man was left in critical condition and major arterials in Surrey were closed after a dramatic crash this week. Police say the driver was the only one hurt in a crash that could have been even worse. At about 6:30 a.m. Wednesday, a cement pumper truck was heading southbound on King George Boulevard just north of Highway 10, when it veered off the road and swiped a vacant bus stop. The pumper then thundered

across Highway 10, hitting two vehicles, whose occupants escaped injury. The pumper continued southbound down King George, jumped the median, and headed into oncoming traffic travelling north – amazingly avoiding a collision with other vehicles. The truck then jumped the median again, returning into southbound lanes on King George and rolled over into a ditch. The driver of the pumper was extricated from the vehicle and an attempt was made to airlift him to hospital.

However, that was interrupted, as crews began CPR on the driver. He was transported by ambulance to hospital where he remained in critical condition as of Peace Arch News press time Thursday. The investigation kept King George Boulevard closed in both directions between Colebrook Road and 60 Avenue for the majority of the day, police also closed a portion of Highway 10 later that day to allow for collision reconstruction investigators access to the crash scene.
Federal Conservative candidate Dianne Watts is standing by the message of campaign literature delivered door-to-door in the South Surrey-White Rock riding last week. Her campaign card – which says, beside the C ons er vat ive logo, “We will fight jihadist terrorists at home and abroad” Conservative flyer and includes an Jihadist quote. quote originally attributed to an Islamic extremist, “You will not feel secure in your bedrooms” – has received fallout from political opponents and area residents who claim it is “fear mongering.” But Watts denied this in a written statement to Peace Arch News issued Wednesday morning. “I do not believe there was any intention to fearmonger,” she said, adding that the Conservatives’ stance on intervention to defeat ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) forces was instrumental in her decision to run for the party. i see page 4

Public hearing set for Monday
Rezoning aims to limit Kwomais Alex Browne Staff Reporter
A new zoning bylaw designed to place a limit on the size and height of homes in the Kwomais Point Park neighbourhood of South Surrey is moving forward to public hearing on Sept. 28. The bylaw, created in response to a petition from neighbourhood residents, was given first and second readings at Surrey Council’s Sept. 14 meeting. In the petition, presented to Surrey’s Planning and Development department in May, residents argued that such a move is necessary to preserve the character of the neighbourhood – and particularly the large trees there. The bylaw would switch 148 lots in the neighborhood from single family residential (RF) zoning to a comprehensive development (CD) zone – a move which would reduce the maximum size and height of houses permitted in the area. The petitioners said that 55 per cent of owners of the 148 lots were in favour of the change, although staff have also heard from owners who purchased their lots with the expectation of being able to build to RF limits, and question what such rezoning will do to their property values. A staff report received by council said a follow-up public information meeting held in July at Ocean Park Hall made it clear there is a strong neighbourhood desire to
protect trees. In the report, general manager of planning Jean Lamontagne said residents had commented that “the trees provide an ‘oasis’ on individual lots, a sense of nature and privacy from surrounding homes.” “Residents suggested a stronger penalty for illegally cut trees, adjusting lot coverage and setbacks, downsizing houses, and replacing trees with trees that retain the character of the neighborhood.” Some 107 surveys sent out to owners by the city had been returned as of Sept. 8, the report said, and of these, 79 per cent were in favour of the zoning and 21 per cent were opposed. The proposed zoning change would bring down the height of a sloped-roof house from 30 feet to 22 feet (measured to halfway up the roof) and limit the height of a house with a steeply-sloped roof to 26.5 feet (measured to the roof peak). For houses with less sloping roofs the maximum height would drop from 24 feet to the top of the roof to 23.3 feet. Maximum height of ‘accessory’ buildings on each property would be limited to no more than 16.5 feet. The zoning change would also reduce the floor area ratio (FAR) for all buildings, and stipulate that 420 square feet be reserved for garage or carport use only.

portion of land for the roadway, as well as a portion along the river to allow for a walkway. However, inquiry officer Mark Underhill ruled that the compromise took a “far too narrow approach to the objectives put forth by the city,� and recommended that the expropriation be approved. Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner was taking part in the Union of British Columbia Municipalities conference this week, and couldn’t be reached for comment. Poirier is now in the process of having an independent appraisal done on the property, as well as securing legal counsel to aid in renegotiations. While he wouldn’t share the price the city has agreed to pay for the property, he said it is a fraction of what was offered
two years ago by a development group that wanted to build a high-end recreation facility on the property, an amount that would have allowed the family to open a golf centre at another location. That proposal, which would have required an Agricultural Land Reserve exemption, did not proceed past the exemption phase, and has since been taken off the table. In researching other properties up for sale within a few kilometers of the golf centre, Poirier said he feels the price the city has offered is “outrageous.� Poirier said the city has given him “three to four months� to vacate the property, and is now working on informing his customers who may have pre-paid punch cards to use them before the golf centre is closed.

The Liberals, according to the release, would not return to the Pension Act, but have promised to increase the tax-free lumpsum payment, and to provide a life-long pension model for all disabled veterans, not just the severely disabled. The Green Party has advocated for a return to the Pension Act, and the repeal of the lump-sum payments for disability awards. Equitas states in the release that although none of the parties address the gaps created by the New Veterans Charter, the reforms promised by the Liberals best address the problems with veterans’ benefits under the current charter.

Election polling a numbers game
E
very politician knows – or at least they should know – that polling numbers don’t always translate into seats in government. Polling figures from Nanos Research released this week show the governing Conservatives, Opposition NDP and the Liberals in a virtual dead heat among decided federal voters, with support ranging between 29 and 31 per cent. But even if that is the last poll conducted before federal election on Oct. 19, it wouldn’t necessarily mean Parliament would split down those lines. There is always a huge glut of people who are undecided up until the late stages of a campaign – some estimates put it as high as 25 per cent. In a close election race, the number of people who make up their mind just before heading to the polling station is likely far more than politicians or parties would care to see. It would be interesting to know how many people use polling figures to help them cast their vote. Our guess would be very few. Public media companies have for years commissioned research firms to give them the latest figures, which often get trotted out on front pages and websites as the top story for that day. We believe in the credibility and veracity of such polls, given their size and the commitment to accuracy made by the major media – CTV and The Globe and Mail hired Nanos for the above poll. Unfortunately, releasing polling data has become a public-relations ploy, especially with all the parties commissioning their own polls at various times. One firm hired by the NDP came back with numbers last week that said the Liberal leader was trailing an opponent by 11 points in his own riding. A poll conducted for a national media company with a far larger sample size and different methodology found Trudeau to actually be leading by five points. Political parties hire pollsters to come up with numbers they feel will help them. Without a doubt, similar research is being conducted here too, as candidates attempt to get a feel for where they stand amongst voters in the Semiahmoo Peninsula’s two ridings, South Surrey-White Rock and Surrey-Newton. While stats heads might find the pre-election numbers interesting, the only ones that count are on election day. Voters should instead do their homework on local candidates and leave the pre-election polls for the parties to concern themselves with.

Of course, Watts’ reaction wasn’t much better politically, as it would have made sense for her to allow voters to decide. Instead, she helped bring about a more experienced – and arguably more electable – opponent. Bad political moves certainly aren’t limited to the federal arena. Last week, White Rock’s mayor had an opportunity to face off with nearly 100 residents calling for his resignation, over his claim that his tiny city, by law, must plan for more than a third more residents over the next 25 years. The right thing to do, optically, would have been for Mayor Wayne Baldwin to wade into their protest at city hall and indicate that he respected their views even if he disagreed with them. At best, he could have appeased their concerns; at worst, they could have been aggressively hostile, giving him the appearance of victim. Instead, after hearing Metro representatives explain that his outdated numbers were not only wrong, they were guidelines, he thanked them with the following send-off: “It’s an imprecise thing, as you mentioned, a lot of lack of knowledge on the part of the public…” Ouch. As for Watts’ reaction to the fallout from her U.S.-style flyer, she stood firm. She denied “fearmongering” and told us that her party is the only one that will keep Canadians safe. To this, I can only advise that it’s a gutsy move to quote a terrorist threat in one’s campaign literature. It’s bolder still to claim there was no intention to stir up terror in the hearts of voters. Message received. Lance Peverley is the editor of Peace Arch News.

Caregivers need care, too An open letter to B.C. Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie. Re: Holes found in senior care, Sept. 16. I feel I should speak for the multitudes of family caregivers in response to the article quoting you. We are all well-aware of the so-called support programs. There is only one day care here and it is full with a waiting list. Respite is available in only two of the dozens of seniors residences in South Surrey and White Rock, and you have to book months in advance. The 30 days mentioned in the article are per year, not whenever. What I think would be helpful, easy to arrange and even cheap would be some places – note the “s” – for us lonely folks to go with our loved ones, with refreshments and chairs that we may chat with others in a similar pickle.

The Little Campbell is important to salmon and trout and the area is lovely parkland. Truckers would use the bulldozed space to change oil and other mechanical fluids and to wash their rigs. And where is that water likely to wash the toxins? Coun. Tom Gill says he would insist on the highest environmental standards? We’ve heard that phrase before – from Lac-Mégantic, from Mount Polley Mine, most recently in April, when 2,700 litres of oil leaked from the M/V Marathassa into English Bay – all protected under regulated “highest environmental standards.” The Little Campbell is called “Little” because it is… little. One leak could destroy life in that river. Gill is quoted as saying:“There is a need for truck parking throughout the city.” So bulldoze a casino and build a truck park nearer the commercial area. Susan Lindenberger, White Rock Q By what possible stretch of imagination can Coun. Tom Gill and his colleagues think that turning riparian forest land into a truck parking lot is the ‘highest and best use’ for this parcel? R.M. Strang, Surrey Q The Surrey city council has decided that within a special “study area” in the Hazelmere Valley, there should be a parking lot and service centre for a thousand diesel transport trucks? It is a pristine valley that is not only one of the most biologically diverse ecological zones in the
province, according to information available on the City of Surrey’s own website, it is a virtual heritage site from one end to the other. And it just so happens that ‘a river runs through it’ – the delicate Little Campbell, which meanders its way from its headwaters at the planned diesel park, through the Semiahmoo First Nation in White Rock to a picturesque outflow to the sea. Some councillors say the need is critical because otherwise trucks will be illegally parked elsewhere. They are the very ones that have outlawed every other attempt by residents with acreage to park trucks, even within the 1,900-acre Campbell Heights Industrial Park, and on acreages along the Pacific Highway corridor, from the border to Cloverdale. Could it be that rezoning pristine agricultural land rings in at a price the developers can afford? You may wonder why, with all of the heavy transport rolling along Highway 1, the South Fraser Perimeter Road, Port Kells, North Langley, and Aldergove, there would not be interest to serve the trucking industry in a more central location? This is heavy industry that they are pushing for, and it is noteworthy that council now refers to the Hazelmere Valley as the South Campbell Heights area, as if it were a natural extension of that light
industrial park. Imagine, heavy industry, in this ecological paradise, which is one of the largest bird migratory routes in the province! Did the change from ‘municipality’ to ‘city’, and the relocation of the city hall to North Surrey, cause a sudden loss in the councillors’ will to defend the legacy of the Official Community Plan of Surrey in terms of ecologically sensitive areas as cited in its website? They want, instead, to fast track this rezoning by removing it from the OCP. South Surrey, South Langley and White Rock are a precious and easily accessible recreational and natural resource, enjoyed by those who live here and visited by hundreds of thousands of people who walk, swim, paddleboard, bike, ride horses, or just simply take in the beauty of its wild life throughout the region. Another course must be chosen. Dave Wasmuth, Langley
Modern trains too heavy here Editor: I am a lover of trains, having worked as a fireman/stoker on
steam engines in Africa. But I often listen with interest when people, who advocate for the trains in White Rock, say that the tracks were always here. Sure. However, I assume they were laid in expectation of shorter passenger trains and some freight: the steam engine Curley (linking Brownsville and Blaine) hauling logs, circa 1894, weighed perhaps 30-45 tonnes. The GE Dash 9-44CW locomotives with BNSF weigh 192 tonnes each, and there are usually four of them. The truth is that most houses close to Marine Drive shake significantly with each train. By comparison, I wonder whether locals would be happy about a BC Ferry ambling down Marine Drive a few times each day on the tracks. How about the Spirit of Vancouver, for instance? The freight cars of the trains, fully loaded, weigh around 100 tonnes each. The BC Ferry Coastal Inspiration weighing in at 10,034 tonnes, is some 2,466 tonnes less than the average train. The largest ship in the BC Ferry fleet, the Spirit of Vancouver Island, weighs in at 11,681 tonnes: still 819 tonnes less. I doubt whether those who laid the tracks had this kind of weight in mind.

A parade of construction trucks starting at 7 a.m. upsets neighbours now and has them worried about the future.
Neighbourhood forever changed Editor: The whole neighbourhood is upset over the disruption and mayhem. The noise and pollution from the trucks starts at 7 a.m. and goes on all day. Dump trucks with trailers are stacked up five in a row along Blackwood Street, Vine Avenue and Vidal Street, as idling motors waiting for access into the site building site of the controversial 12-storey highrise. These narrow streets cannot handle this traffic. This was once a really nice neighbourhood; it felt like living in a park. Tall evergreen trees. Geese grazing on the lawn in the evening. Herons flying overhead. Modest apartments with nice gardens. Now it’s just a mess. The soul and ambience of this neighbourhood is forever changed. Once the complex is finished and completely inhabited the traffic congestion is going to be a nightmare. The developers won’t be living here. The city council and mayor won’t be living here. We are left to choke on their greed. Patricia Yavis, White Rock Q I wish to express my frustration and lack of support from the City of White Rock, concerning the construction on Vidal Street.
I have suggested to the developer that it makes a lot of sense to have the thousands of trucks delivering rebar, concrete, etc. routed from King George Boulevard, up 148 Street, then left on Thrift Avenue to Vidal Street. This route would prevent congestion, noise and pollution, as well as a hazard at Blackwood Street and 16 Avenue, where the turning lane is too narrow and short. The huge trucks that have been using this ridiculous current route must wind through the shortest street in all of Metro Vancouver – namely Vine Avenue, which is approximately 130 feet long. Trucks have already taken out the street sign, and from my deck I have witnessed several close calls between cars and trucks. This area is 100 per cent a seniors area, without crosswalks, and the safety concern is very high. Why, when even the developer agrees with my suggestion, does our city do the complete opposite? It must be better to pollute the heart of our city with diesel fumes, noisy monster trucks, not to mention the danger which this poses on our neighbourhood. Within a two-block radius, there are at least eight highrises destined for construction. This means many thousands of deliveries in this neighbourhood. Someone in our city needs to refer to a map.

Letter written to Christy Clark
Surrey MLAs call for police boost Surrey’s New Democrat MLAs have written a joint letter to B.C. Premier Christy Clark, requesting more police resources for the city in order to soothe citizens who are “living in fear and feel abandoned by senior levels of government.� In addition to the local MLAs – Harry Bains (Surrey-Newton), Sue Hammell (Surrey-Green Timbers) and Bruce Ralston (Surrey-Whalley) – the letter is also signed by NDP Leader John Horgan and MLA Mike Farnsworth, the Opposition spokesperson for Justice. In the letter, the MLAs describe “a crisis of public safety� in Surrey, and cite an incident last week in which Strawberry Hill Elementary was hit with bullet. Bullets also hit a nearby home. No one was injured.
Crime and public safety have been a hot-button issue in the city in recent years, as gangs fight over what police have described as the “low level drug trade.� Last year, 100 additional RCMP officers were pledged to the city, though the MLAs’ letter says “there are far fewer on the ground� despite “repeated promises.� The letter requests that the RCMP re-deploy resources from throughout the country to Surrey, and also calls for a dedicated RCMP task force to work full-time on ending gun violence. The letter closes by saying “It is clear that past policing resources and current initiatives have failed to keep Surrey families safe. Urgent action is needed. Residents of Surrey deserve nothing less.� – Nick Greenizan

area? That’s a difficult question to answer, and perhaps it is too early to do so. It is clear that there is significant demand for industrial and commercial land. However, the earlier development of Campbell Heights was done without much regard for the environment. It attracted widespread criticism. Former mayor Dianne Watts vowed to do things differently. Her Surrey First party now holds every seat on council, so it will be interesting to see what compromises its nine members are willing to make. Coun. Tom Gill has already suggested one area in the 19400block of 16 Avenue – very close to the Little Campbell River – be earmarked for a truck parking and maintenance area. There is a need for such a facility, and having one near Campbell Heights makes sense. However, it is worrying that such a proposal is being championed by a councillor, just as the local area plan is getting underway. Some of the large area will inevitably be developed, but any development must proceed carefully. Its significant environmental factors must be respected.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Peninsula grad part of UBC science team
Students strive to save honeybees Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
A
South Surrey native is among a group of science students in Boston this week, competing on an international stage with a project designed to help honeybees. Darren Christy, a Semiahmoo Secondary grad and third-year biochemistry student at UBC, is part of a team participating in a competition hosted by iGEM – the Internationally Genetically Engineered Machine Foundation – which will include more than 200 teams from post-secondary institutions around the world. Christy’s team, made up of 20 engineering and science students, was formed in February, and after researching a few project ideas, the group decided upon the issue of pesticides and pollinators. Studying the serious decline in bee colonies, know as Colony Collapse Disorder, that has been taking place over the past 10 years, the group aimed to find a way to protect bees from pesticides known to have toxic effects on the insects. “One of the things that came up was although pesticides do have a bad rap, they are critically important for modern agriculture,” Christy, 19, told Peace Arch News this week. “So our project was to use synthetic biology to bridge the gap between allowing pesticides to still be used while allowing primary pollinators to still be protected.” The team spent several months over the spring and summer developing a probiotic for bees – which they dubbed a “probeeotic.” By identifying a species of bacteria that lives in the digestive systems of honeybees, the students have attempted to genetically engineer the bacteria to break down neonicotinoids, a type of pesticide
that has been linked to bee death. Christy said he is thrilled to be travelling to the iGEM competition this week and showcasing the group’s project, and is excited to see what the other teams have come up with. “I’m really looking forward to meeting students from around the world and hearing their experiences and accomplishments,” he said. “This whole experience has been amazing, being an undergraduate student and having the opportunity to help develop and carry out a science project that could potentially benefit the world is awesome.” In addition to the hands-on lab work Christy took part in, the project also included community outreach and fundraising components, which gave the students a glimpse into the side of science they don’t normally get to see in a classroom or laboratory setting. “We had to do all the fundraising for the project, and basically keep track of everything we bought for it,” Christy explained. “It was really interesting to see how expensive science is, and how many components there are to it.” Upon returning from the competition, which wraps up Monday, Christy plans to buckle down and continue his studies – while he has no concrete career plans, he said he is leaning towards medical microbiology or med school. He said the experience with the iGEM project and teammates has been a valuable one. “I’ve gained a lot of perspective on the complexity of the issues surrounding Colony Collapse Disorder and the importance of not only bees, but also pesticides to modern agriculture,” he said.

KITCHENS & BATH
Injured vet takes first public steps › from page 14 Innovation Boulevard co-chair Dr. Ryan D’Arcy partnered with Greene in a research project to explore the brain’s ability reorganize neural pathways in response to different behaviours, thoughts or emotions. While working with Greene, D’Arcy and his team discovered that physical functions can be recovered through rehabilitation even six years after an injury. In 2014, SFU mechatronics engineer Carolyn Sparrey was given the task of customizing an exoskeleton for Greene. Although exoskeletons are most often used for patients with spinal injuries, this was the first time this technology had been used for someone with a brain injury. With assistance, Greene is now able to walk upright with his custom made exoskeleton designed by ReWalk, a company based in Israel. “This is is an example of the kind of work we are doing here – work that will have an immediate impact on improving health outcomes for our most vulnerable and important members of society,” said Rowena Rizzotti, chief executive of the Institute for Healthcare Innovations at Innovation Boulevard. “Trevor’s exoskeleton and the Legion Veterans Village both have long-term global implications for the lives of millions through improvements in care and services for veterans and aging Canadians.” As for Greene, he says his future is looking up – way up. His goal is to someday walk unassisted to Mount Everest’s base camp.

Q
uestion: My aunt lived close to UBC and rented a room to me while I went to university. She gave me lots of sound advice on boyfriends and career choices and we became very close. I grew up, married, had children but always kept close to this special lady. Many years later she told me that she was making me her executor and told me to “...take as much executor fee you can”. She died and gave all her estate to charities. I was told the maximum executor fee was 5% but I charged 3%. The charities are disputing my executor fee. They are getting several hundred thousand dollars each which is free money. Can they do this?
A
nswer: Yes. If your aunt had speciÀed the percentage in her will you would be entitled to it. Your executor fee is less than those charged by Ànancial institutions in Canada but because your fee is not speciÀed, the charities can force you to go to court to justify it. NEW CLIENTS WELCOME

‘Think of Me’ campaign targets school zones
Drivers get safety lesson The Surrey RCMP wrapped up a traffic campaign earlier this month, aimed at pedestrian safety in school zones, that resulted in several fines and one arrest. The “Think of Me” campaign, a collaboration of the RCMP, Surrey School District, ICBC and the Surrey Crime Prevention Strategy took place Sept. 9 to 15, and resulted in 2,500 handmade warnings from students, 100 violation tickets and one arrest. A 34-year-old Surrey woman was arrested after she failed to stop for police outside a Cloverdale Elementary School Sept. 9; she was later arrested and has been charged with two counts of driving while disqualified, two counts of driving while prohibited and one count of driving while suspended. She was also issued fines for speeding in a school zone and failing to stop for police. “While this campaign was a great opportunity for students and their schools to work with officers and volunteers to help

Embracing all cultures at Diwali Festival of Lights Alex Browne Arts Reporter
Organizers are busy putting finishing touches on one of the distinctive multicultural events that light up White Rock during autumn. In the tradition of the city’s annual Moon Festival – inspired by celebrations of the harvest moon in Chinese culture – Oct. 3’s day-long Diwali Festival of Lights, which drew an estimated 50,000 visitors to White Rock’s waterfront last year, takes inspiration from an ancient Hindu celebration marking the victory of light and positivity over forces of darkness.
This year, Diwali Festival of Lights organizers the International Community Celebrations Society of B.C. – chaired by longtime community volunteer Moti Bali – are joining together with the City of White Rock, and numerous community partners, to emphasize that the underlying message is one that can be embraced by all cultures and ethnicities. Current plans for the second annual event include multicultural live music on an outdoor stage near the white rock, plus traditional dances, henna art, face painting and fireworks. Ethnic food will again be a feature, as will a
vendor marketplace, and the life-sized elephant display – a popular photo opportunity for many visitors last year – is also scheduled to return. Community partners include the White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society, which will provide volunteers, and Tourism White Rock, Semiahmoo Arts and the White Rock Business Improvement Association. Semiahmoo First Nation will provide free parking at its lot adjacent to the Washington Avenue Grill – and organizers say plans are on track for a return of the popular trolley bus Contributed photo shuttle, connecting East Beach and West Beach.

It may look magical – but it’s far from an illusion. Visitors and residents strolling on White Rock’s waterfront this weekend will see the iconic pier and promenade festooned in traditional Chinese lanterns – and a whole array of attention-grabbing entertainment – as the city’s Moon Festival returns for a third year, Friday and Saturday. Both Western and Chinese cultural performances will be a feature of the festival, sponsored by the city in partnership with the White Rock Chinese Art Centre and the Canada Dongying Commerce Club. The Moon Festival will highlight music, dancing, martial arts demonstrations, workshops and a Friday fireworks display – a first-time addition to the program. Also new this year will be a performance by more than 40 Chinese dancers on the pier and laser lights to augment the event – a traditional celebration of the harvest and also the spiritual and cultural significance of the autumn moon. Traditional Chinese moon festivals also represent family reunions and expressions of friendship, and so it’s appropriate that this year’s White Rock Moon Festival also features new
“family” for the city. Among highlights of the two-day event will be a visit by a nine-person delegation from White Rock’s “friendship city” of Dongying. “The friendly exchange relationship focuses on promoting economic development and advancing culture, tourism, health care, technology and other areas of mutual interest,” said White Rock cultural development manager Claire Halpern. Opening events, starting at 5 p.m. Friday, feature a flag-waving ceremony and well-known youth performer Ben Dunnill, who will lead both O Canada and a public sing-a-long of Auld Lang’s Syne, while soprano Cristina Zhang will sing I Love You, China. The performance schedule, starting at 6 p.m., will include Zhang and fellow soprano Jessica Zhang, Forrest Xie, opera performer Li Juan, alternative pop duo Fionn, the Vancouver GuZheng Academy, tenor Marco Song, dancers from Semiahmoo Secondary, Lu Xiping, and urheen (traditional stringed instrument) player Ma Yichao. Fireworks are scheduled for 8 p.m. Saturday’s programme, starting at 10 a.m. and concluding at 3:30 p.m., will include Dunnill, Jessica Zhang and the Glen Pearson Band.

While we can’t all be subscribers to George Zukerman’s enduring White Rock Concerts series, Encore Peninsula Concerts is more than playing its part in bringing high calibre international concert artists to the Semiahmoo Peninsula. A third season of concerts cosponsored by the City of White Rock is giving local residents a viable – and less-crowded – alternative with 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon performances at White Rock’s First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave. And with a season expanded to six concerts, at a subscription price of $120 ($100 students and seniors) for all six, it’s a reasonably affordable option, too (individual tickets are $25 and $22). The quality is certainly there with the lineup this year – a testament to artistic director, and internationally-recognized concert pianist Eugene Skovordnikov’s connections in the world of classical touring musicians. “I’m very fortunate,� he said, adding that many of the musicians will add another concert to North American touring schedules just for a working break visiting with an old colleague – and the fact that we live in a particularly picturesque part of the world is an added enticement. Opening concert (Oct. 18) features Skovorodnikov in a trio with two outstanding Canadian musicians, clarinetist Liam Hockley and cellist Lee Duckles. On Nov. 22 the series will feature Canadian-American marimba virtuoso Pius Cheung, while the Jan. 31 concert features Chinese cellist Yinzi Kong and her life and performing partner, American pianist William Ransom.

Rounding out the series will be an extra treat – an orchestral performance by the strings of the West Coast Symphony Orchestra (conducted by Albanian maestro Bujar Llapaj) with Skovorodnikov and Canadian-American trumpeter Dan Kocurek. Featured pieces at this concert will be Eine Kleine Nachtmusik by Mozart, surely one of the bestknown of all classical compositions, and Shostakovich’s Concerto No. 1 for Piano, Trumpet and Strings. In addition to the unparalleled cooperation Skovorodnikov receives from the musicians, he’s very pleased with the help he has received from the city in growing the season. “I’m extremely grateful – they’re very instrumental in promoting

us on their website and also with design of posters and brochures.� The opening concert offers an intriguing combination of three very expressive instruments, he agreed – not the least of which is the clarinet, which has tonal colours that range all the way from low and dulcet tones to high, piercing and percussive. “As my dear friend Julian Milkis said, the clarinet is, in a way, a ‘fatal’ instrument,� Skovorodnikov chuckled. “Although it’s the instrument ranked third in the amount of music written for it, it’s also a fact that there are composers who have written for the clarinet and then died,� he said. “Mozart wrote a clarinet concerto – and it was the last piece of music he completed, Brahms wrote two clarinet sonatas and he died. Saint Saens – again a clarinet sonata and he dies. Even Poulenc – is it the instrument?� All joking aside, he said, he’s looking forward to working again with Duckles, who was principal cellist with the VSO for some 30 years and Hockley, a doctoral student at UBC noted for his passion for contemporary music. The sympathetic possibilities of piano, cello and clarinet in trio will be showcased in two widely contrasting pieces – Beethoven’s Trio in Bb Major (Op. 11) and Piazzola’s The Seasons. The versatility of the instrumentation will be illustrated by the collection of four tangos by Piazzola, a modern master from Argentina. “It’s quite a dark composition, reflecting the guts of Buenos Aires,� Skovorodnikov said. “He’s an incredible genius who has created his own style.� Tickets can be purchased online at tickets.surrey.ca or, in person, at 15154 Russell Ave.

Gail Neismiuk among participants in weekend art exhibition
Artist returns with newfound style, inspiration Alex Browne Arts Reporter
Artist Gail Nesimiuk is a believer that every picture tells a story. The South Surrey resident – once very much a part of the local arts scene with fabric pieces using dye and resist techniques – is returning to the public eye with new paintings that are a departure from her previous style. But she emphasizes that she’s just one of a talented group of participants in Soli Deo Gloria, an art exhibition at White Rock Community Church, 15280 Pacific Ave., tonight (Friday) 6:30-9 p.m. It’s billed as a celebration of artistic expression through paintings, music, poetry and photography. “The worship pastor, Tennyson Vaughn has a vision for people in the church community using their artistic gifts,” Nesimiuk said. “This is an experiment, a first one.

Gail Nesimiuk with one of her florals, featured in the multi-disciplinary art exhibit Soli Deo Gloria tonight (Friday) at White Rock Community Church. I go to Peace Portal, and I’d be delighted if my church picked up on something like this. God gave us all different gifts.” For her, it’s a chance to start getting back into the art community after a long absence – since 1996. Part of that time she was deeply involved in missionary work with her late husband, Rick, in Bangkok, Thailand. Rick’s gift was in
bringing together different faith communities for mutual good, Nesimiuk said, while she used her art to raise money for Children in Crisis, a charity helping at-risk young people. “’Love your neighbour as yourself – that was the message we had for all,” she said. Unfortunately Rick’s health was in decline, and while the couple returned to the
Semiahmoo Peninsula in 2011, he died the following year. Nesimiuk gradually returned to art with new paintings – largely landscapes and florals – in which she combines fabric dyes and acrylics to create effects of unusual vibrancy. And her work has gathered momentum and inspired new vigor, she said, adding that she frequently paints in partnership with Sandra Tomchuck, whose work leans more toward abstract modernity, while hers is much more rooted in impressionism. “I’m painting ferociously,” she said. “I’m painting with such abandon – it’s fantastic. “I’m not afraid to paint anything.” Illustrating her new abandon, Nesimiuk is also finding value in what she calls ‘end-ofstory’ paintings. “When I paint, I have a piece of cardboard or paper that I use for testing colours and
effects,” she said. “Gradually, it takes on a life of it’s own. I’ve taken a number of
these pieces and turned them into vignettes and framed them. “They’re redeemed –
they’d normally end up in the garbage, but I’ve given them dignity and a role as art.”

Weather doesn’t dampen Head of the River Regatta
Rowers battle river, rain Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
The weather may not have been kind, nevertheless more than 180 rowers from 16 clubs across the province dipped their oars in the Nicomekl River at the annual Head of the River Regatta Saturday afternoon. The event, now in its 21st year and hosted by the Nicomekl Rowing Club, featured two different races – both 5.7 km – which began at the dam, and meandered down the river, under the railway trestle at Crescent Beach Marina and ended near Blackie Spit at the pier. The overall Head of the River title was awarded to Whistler Rowing Club’s Maureen Harriman, who competed in the women’s singles division. She is a repeat winner of the award, having also won the honour in 2012. The Head of the River title is

Carole Daviau, who were named the event’s best novice crew; and Jody Shuurman of Burnaby Lake, named best open crew. The Fastest Crew on the River award went to the duo of Taylor Hardy and Vlad Timinsky, also of Burnaby Lake, who completed the course in a blistering 19 minutes, 54 seconds, while the best junior crew award went to Ari Kaufman. Though the conditions were far from perfect, the inclement weather did not pose many challenges for the rowers during either of the races, regatta chair Marney McKay said. “The weather was rainy, but calm water conditions set up the rowers for some great results,” she said. “Rowers love the tactical challenge of the winding river, the danger of the trestle – there have been crashes in years prior – and everyone cheers as rowers round Blackie Spit.”

KPU is now fourth in the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association national rankings. “We’re hoping to go all the way to nationals and win,” said Eagles head coach Srdjan Djekanovic. “It’s been our goal since the preseason.” The two victories last weekend come a week after Kwantlen split two home games against a pair of Lower Mainland rivals, beating the Douglas College Royals

weekend, the Eagles had the majority of the scoring chances yet the game remained scoreless for the first hour. Justin TurnerPearce netted the only goal of the game in the 70th minute. “It was a great team performance, as we played excellent defensively, and worked together as a team going forward creating plenty of goalscoring chances,” said Djekanovic. In windy, wet conditions Sunday, the Eagles didn’t have as many scoring chances, but were able to convert two of them. Ryan Arthur and Tyler Henderson were the goal scorers. “We were able to capitalize on our chances, and to limit VIU’s scoring opportunities,” said Djekanovic. “Both of our goals came from set pieces, and this is something we are proud of, as it is something we take time to work on in training.” Kwantlen will visit Douglas Saturday in Coquitlam. Sunday, the Eagles play Langara.

The Mariners – who edged Nanaimo earlier this month and are now 2-0 in preseason action – found much success through the air against the Panthers, as quarterback Owen Dickie was 10-for-20 passing, for 349 yards and three touchdowns.
leading the team with nine tackles. Elsewhere on the defence, linebacker Wylie Gillette had six tackles, McMartin had a key interception and Brooks McNabb had a fumble recovery. “It was a good team effort – the players played with determined resolve,” said EMS head coach Michael Mackay-Dunn. The Mariners are back on the field today (Friday) when they host the Frank Hurt Hornets at Earl Marriott. Kickoff is 3:45 p.m.

across the goal line from the one-yard line. Offence was hard to come by at the midget level, too, as the White Rock Titans were shut out 28-0 by the Chilliwack Giants. Early in the contest, White Rock blocked a 22-yard field-goal attempt by the Giants, and the visitors nearly scored first when, on third down with five yards to go, Chris Ridley got a first down to put the team within striking distance of the endzone. However, Chilliwack quickly regained the ball after an interception. White Rock fell behind 14-0 after a seven-yard TD run by the Giants in the second half, and after recovering the ensuing kick-off – slick conditions led to a Titans fumble – extended the lead to 21-0. In the last game Sunday, White Rock’s junior-bantam squad lost 56-0 to Cloverdale.

Get ’em next time. Such is the motto for the White Rock-South Surrey Titans this week, after a winless Sunday in the Vancouver Mainland Football League. In flag-division action, the Titans lost 24-0 to the North Delta Longhorns. The Titans were overmatched physically by the bigger Longhorns, but the Peninsula squad still had strong performances from Sebastian Masonville, on defence, and Sam Floer on offence. In the peewee division, White Rock fell 30-6 to the Coquitlam Wolverines. The Titans came out of the gate slow, and the Wolverines leapt out to an early 12-0 lead before the White Rock defence tightened things up. The Titans had chances to score in the first, but were stymied, but eventually put a touchdown on the board late when Jacob Knowles ran the ball

TIPS FOR BUYING “While location continues to be a standard for purchase, more families are also considering a home’s proximity to services valuable to them: shopping centres, grocery stores, recreational facilities, and restaurants.” Michael Trites
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
What to keep in mind when buying a home By Nicolle Hodges
One of the first mentions of “location, location, location,” can be traced back to a real estate classified ad in the Chicago Tribune in 1926. While it’s still a mystery who coined the phrase, more interesting is that nearly 90 years later it still rings true. New or experienced homebuyers may begin looking for a home for a variety of purposes, including downsizing, relocating, or their growing family. Regardless of the reason there are important factors to bear in mind before closing a sale. While location continues to be a standard for purchase, more families are also considering a home’s proximity to services valuable to them: shopping centres, grocery stores, recreational facilities, and restaurants. Michael Trites, managing broker and sales associate at Royal LePage Northstar Realty says homebuyers need to be aware of what the likelihood of a major rezoning or transportation expansion occurring in their area of interest. “Rapid transit routes are planned years in advance so it’s important to verify what is planned by the various government agencies,” he says. “Rezoning to higher density housing in the future can increase usage of schools and recreation facilities beyond their present capacity.” He adds that most buyers have narrowed down the possible styles of a home that are important to them, so next to keep in mind is the quality of renovations. “Poorly done renovations often entail major work and expense to correct, and if completed without permits, can also be a material latent defect which has to be disclosed to a buyer prior to their preparing an offer to purchase.” An example of a material latent defect is a defect that cannot be discovered through an inspection, such as improper framing or building construction not done to building code and hidden behind walls or floors. Non-disclosure of a grow op could also be considered a latent defect due to possible mold or electrical issues. A patent defect is one that is discoverable through inspection, such as water in a crawl space, water stains on a ceiling, and cracks in flooring or foundation. From the inner workings of a home to how it’s staged, should there be a “top priority” checklist when looking to buy, and if so, what should be on it? Trites says the home buyer will likely have created their own wish list of ‘must haves’ and ‘want to haves’ to be included in their new home, and a REALTOR® will have their own standard clauses as subjects for offers that they
A single-family detached home is attractive to many people because it typically provides more living space and land. On the other hand, a condominium or townhouse may be a more appropriate choice for you, with an emphasis on maintenance-free living. Determine what type best suits your lifestyle and budget. prepare to protect the buyers and sellers. set the scene for the buyer’s imagination,” says “For a detached home these would include Trites. “If the existing furnishings and accessoapproval of financing by a lender, the buyer’s ries are dated, it’s more difficult for the buyer to approval of title certificate and of the Sellers visualize how updates can improve the homes Property Disclosure statement, the buyer’s appearance and comfort.” ability to obtain house insurance, and the buyer The process of buying a home can be stressbeing satisfied with a professional ful, which is why there are many house inspection,” he says. “A transchecks and balances performed action involving a strata property along the way.

instead of a friend or relative, ask your REALTOR® to provide you with a sample contract of purchase and sale so you can review the standard clauses prior to actually making an offer on a property.” Whether you are an experienced buyer or still green to the housing market, it’s important to use the head and not the heart when it comes to buying a home, to not overextend yourself financially. “[A buyer] may absolutely love the home, but the costs associated to purchase and maintain it could restrict their existing lifestyle to the point of being ‘house poor,’” says Trites. “Purchase within your comfort level and view homes that fit that criteria.” The bottom line is that Real Estate has always been considered a long-term investment, and it’s likely to rise and fall many times over its lifetime. Trites says that once [a home] is paid for, it’s yours, as opposed to renting for the long term. Buy what you can afford and realize the market has factors that drive it, most of which are beyond our control.

SODERQUIST, Arnold Leonard 1931 - 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, Arnold Leonard Soderquist. Arnold was born September 2, 1931 in Sexsmith, Alberta and died peacefully, surrounded by his family on Saturday, September 12, 2015 at Langley Hospice. Arnold was a quiet, hardworking, faithful man who was loved by all who knew him. He is survived by his beloved wife of 65 years, Janet. Arnold also leaves his children Linda, Ida (Jacob), and Victor, 8 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by two sisters, Edna and Helen. Arnold was predeceased by a daughter, Eileen. The family would like to thank the staff of Maple Hospice for their wonderful care of both our father and the family during this difficult time. In lieu of flowers the family requests that all donations be made to the Langley Hospice. There was a private funeral on Friday, September 18. Our loss is Heaven’s gain. SCHMIDT, Hans G. 1929 - 2015 The family of Hans G. Schmidt wish to announce his passing at 86 years of age, on Wednesday, September 16th 2015 at 10:45 pm. Hans was born in Frankfurt, Germany on Feb. 9th, 1929. He passed away peacefully with family by his side. He was a loving, caring man who had a great interest in hiking, travelling, reading, gardening, cooking, history, outdoor activities and nature. He was deeply loved and had a sense of humour that will be truly missed by his family and friends. Hans is survived by his wife Ursula of 65 years; children Arno (Susanne), Elvi (Dan), Jane (Philip) grandchildren Monica, Thomas (Ania), Leona (Andrew), Mark and Sean, great-grandchildren Devon, Tommy, Theodore and extended family members. The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff at Peace Arch Hospital and Hospice and the BC Cancer Agency at Surrey Memorial Hospital for attending to Hans’ and the family’s needs over the past few months.
Shirley Belle Bergeron (nee Pick) April 12, 1937-August 24, 2015 Shirley was able to peacefully join her dear Paul after a brief battle with cancer at the age of 78. She will be sadly missed by son, Michael “Mike” (Pam), step-daughter Martha “Marti” (Eric) and “heart” daughter, Debbie (Robert “Mini”), 3 grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren, sister, Florence and many amazing friends and relatives. All those lucky enough to have known her will miss her gracious, devoted, passionate style. Shirley was the youngest child born to Hilda “Dolly” and Leonard Pick in Melville, Saskatchewan and soon became the sweetheart of the family. As a young child, she worked at Evelyn’s Children’s Dress Shop. Later, she moved to Saskatoon and worked as the secretary to the GM of MCI-Blue Cross until she and a friend moved to Vancouver. Shirley was an extraordinary secretary who eventually became the secretary for the president of CHAN-TV. Soon they noticed her charisma and made arrangements to put Shirley in front of the camera daily. Paul met Shirley, their love story began and they married in 1962. She, Paul and Marti were thrilled when Michael was born in 1963. Shirley loved being his mom more than anything. Over the years, the family moved from North Vancouver, to Edmonton, Regina and back to North Vancouver where she was able to balance motherhood and work beautifully. Later, she and Paul resided in Birch Bay Village but finally settled in their beloved White Rock. Shirley and Paul shared their outdoor advertising company, Trans Canada Displays, which she was president of at the time of her death. Confident and admirably strong-willed, Shirley enjoyed a good discussion or debate; especially about topics she was loyal to or passionate about including her reality TV shows and football teams, the B.C. Lions and Saskatchewan Roughriders. She cherished relationships including some with childhood and single-days friends but none more treasured than with her precious Paul who predeceased her in 2013. Her family would like to thank her many friends and business associates who loved and supported her always with a special thanks to her dedicated friends, Carl and Pete Kubitz. A celebration of life will be held this fall. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Peace Arch Hospital where Shirley received wonderful care. A lesson from Shirley Belle – Enjoy all things beautiful.

OBITUARIES
Jones, Byron March 17, 1951 – September 19, 2015
It is with great sadness that we have to say goodbye to (Bob) Byron who passed away on September 19, 2015 with his family by his side. He will be greatly missed by his wife Judy of 45 years; their sons Brent and Steven; their spouses Tanya and Shelly; and 7 grandchildren. Byron was born in Vancouver and lived most of his life in Cloverdale, South Surrey and Langley. After serving in the military, Byron worked for the railway and then TELUS for 34 years. Byron retired in 2007 from TELUS. Byron’s interest in baseball started in 1981 coaching his young sons in baseball and football and then continued for 15 years umpiring all groups, ages and levels of competition. Volunteering was Byron’s passion starting with cooking at the Legion for the Cloverdale Rodeo, being the liaison for Canada Cup and co-ordinating baseball for the Senior games. Byron and Judy travelled extensively seeing 6 of the 7 Wonders of the World! They spent the last 9 years wintering in Meza, Arizona continuing volunteering and playing baseball. A Celebration of Life will be held at Valley View Funeral Home, 14644 – 72nd Avenue, Saturday 26th at 10:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Langley Memorial Hospital.
