Kuldip Singh Mahal could be sentenced to up to 30 years in U.S. prison

Former youth coach admits sex crime Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A Surrey soccer coach arrested a year ago in Washington and accused of pursuing sex with a 12-year-old girl has pleaded guilty. According to a news release issued by the U.S. Department of Justice, Kuldip “Kelly” Singh Mahal made the plea Tuesday (Jan. 12) in U.S. District Court in Seattle. A jury trial on the matter had been scheduled to get underway next week.

Mahal, 47, is set to be sentenced on April 1. Under a plea agreement, a prison term of between 78 and 108 months (6½ to nine years) is to be recommended, however, a sentence of up to 30 years is possible. Mahal, who was a volunteer coach for a Surrey United U16 boys team at the time, was arrested Feb. 3, 2015 at a park in Burlington – after crossing into the U.S. at Blaine – where he was expecting to meet a young girl whom he believed he had enticed into

having sex with him. Court documents filed at the time note Mahal had responded to a “casual encounters” post on Craigslist the month before, not realizing he was communicating with an undercover agent. “Mahal believed he had been corresponding with a 12-year-old girl, but in fact he sent multiple sexually explicit messages and photos to an undercover agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s

Homeland Security Investigations,” Tuesday’s release states. “Mahal continued to communicate with the undercover agent even after the agent claimed she was 12 years old. In fact, Mahal sent sexually explicit photos of himself and repeatedly requested the ‘girl’ send sexually explicit photos of herself back to him.” Word of the arrest resulted in Mahal’s suspension from Surrey United Soccer Club. Mahal will have to register as a sex offender.

Silence is killing me: Hudson’s mom Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

Jennifer Brooks distinctly remembers the last time she saw her son alive. It was 4:45 on a sunny Friday afternoon, and she was driving north on 152 Street towards her home after making a quick stop at the bank. Hudson was walking in the opposite direction with a friend, just outside of Sandcastle Fitness.

He saw his mom, flashed his trademark smile and waved. “He just walked away from me and never came back,” Brooks told Peace Arch News Wednesday. Less than 12 hours later, only 150 metres away from where he waved to his mom for the last time, 20-year-old Hudson was shot to death by police in front of the South Surrey RCMP detachment.

Six months later, details of what happened in the early morning hours of July 18, remain scarce. According to police, officers were responding to reports of a man screaming outside the detachment when a struggle ensued. Hudson was shot, and an officer suffered a non-lifethreatening gunshot wound. Two days later, investigators confirmed that only police-issued i see page 4

A French immersion program that was cancelled at Cougar Creek Elementary before it began last fall is getting a second chance. The new Surrey location of the kindergarten-entry language program was scheduled to open at the Newton-area elementary school last September. However, despite a lengthy district-wide waiting list, only 12 children enrolled, forcing the program’s cancellation. More than 200 families were contacted and offered a spot, but because it was so close to the beginning of the school year, most turned it down, citing transportation concerns. Now, the district wants to give it another shot, hoping that informing parents and the community well ahead of the new school year will draw more students. “While 12 students were not enough to make the program viable last September, we are hopeful with more time for parents to consider travel arrangements and i see page 4

Esthetic concerns follow White Rock council decision to axe chloramine

Water system better than ever: Baldwin Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin is “not really buying” Fraser Health’s view that the city’s water system is an “aging infrastructure” following comments made by medical health officer Dr. Michelle Murti this week. In a presentation to council Monday about impending disinfection protocols, Murti said the city had been lucky not to have had any contamination problems prior to the E.Coli scare in 2010, which prompted a city-wide boilwater advisory. Murti said that total coliform counts over the summer indicated “we have a problem with the distribution system,” requiring secondary disinfection. But Baldwin told Peace Wayne Baldwin Arch News Wednesday he felt Murti’s concerns were mayor “a little over the top,” and said recent and future upgrades to the water system have left it in “pretty good shape.” “The infrastructure has been upgraded pretty consistently over the past 10 years, and it’s in better shape than it ever was,” Baldwin said. “The fact that we had one incident with a bird and a leaking seal on the top of the reservoir does not say that the infrastructure is in bad shape.” Coun. Bill Lawrence, who tabled a motion Monday to halt chloramination – a suggestion that received unanimous support from council – told PAN that he felt Fraser Health had a “knee-jerk reaction” when they imposed the disinfection order in 2011. “We did have some issues with one of the holding tanks and the reservoir, but prior to that, we were pretty much incident-less,”

Upgrades to White Rock’s Merklin Street reservoir are currently underway. Lawrence said Tuesday. “As such, why take such a hard stance, when the water has been fantastic forever?” Murti’s comments came in the midst of a lively discussion about the city’s plans to treat the water supply with chloramine. In reversing that, council also decided on chlorine as a means of secondary disinfectant, and to request an extension of Fraser Health’s June 30 deadline to implement the treatment. The decision came following weeks of complaints from residents about potential health and environmental effects of chloramine. In an email to PAN Tuesday, Murti said her role is to ensure the city provides safe drinking water for residents in accordance with the BC Drinking Water Protection Act and the

Canadian Drinking Water Guidelines. Regarding the city’s request for more time, she said Fraser Health “would be willing to consider a brief extension of the deadline, but our goal is to implement secondary disinfection as soon as possible.” Greg St. Louis, the city’s director of engineering and municipal operations, confirmed the city was just a few weeks away from implementing chloramine, with the infrastructure in place to do so. He said the change to chlorination won’t require any revisions to the system, and described the cost of the chloramination system – that will not be utilized – as “minimal.” “Because chloramination is the addition of ammonia, you have two chemical pumps.

One pump provides chlorine and the other provides ammonia,” St. Louis explained. “So you’re just not running one pump.” St. Louis predicted that once the city is fully chlorinating the water supply – currently only the Merklin Street wells are treated – residents will notice the esthetic effects that result from the chlorine reacting with high manganese levels in the water. “The public seemed not to be concerned with the staining of fixtures,” St. Louis said. “However, the Canadian Drinking Water Guidelines does include esthetic qualities. I don’t believe the water is going to be as clear as it currently is.” Options for treating the water’s manganese and arsenic levels – which are close to reaching the highest allowable levels – were also discussed Monday, when council learned a treatment plan would take two to three years to implement. Lawrence, who noted he completed his undergrad in biochemistry and described the water system as “dear to his heart,” said addressing arsenic and manganese levels “has to be a major focus for us moving forward.” The city took ownership and operation of the water utility Oct. 30, despite not having an agreed-upon price in place with Epcor. Prior to purchasing the utility, the city commissioned a report from Metro Vancouver outlining the projected costs of joining the region’s water system instead. According to Baldwin, that report – which was kept incamera – is expected to be made public next month, after Metro Vancouver passes a resolution to do so. The report has been subject of speculation by some residents who have questioned the city’s purchase of the utility at an undetermined price. “Once that comes out, some of the very simplistic notions that people have had will be dismissed, let’s put it that way,” Baldwin said.

Annual event involves two dozen restaurants throughout the city

Taste of White Rock launch whets appetites Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Taste White Rock 2016 – a White Rock Business Improvement Association festival aimed at showcasing the variety and value of city restaurants – was launched Tuesday (Jan. 12) with a media party at one of the venues, BIN 101 Wine & Tapas Bar. White Rock BIA executive director Douglas Smith said the successful launch, which highlighted local wineries and a food sampling from

participating restaurants, drew some 100 people – including Vancouver food bloggers. The festival, which runs from Wednesday, Jan. 20 to Sunday, Feb. 7, involves 24 White Rock restaurants and cafés – up from 18 last year. During the festival, each will offer a special value, fixed-price menu not usually available to customers – as well as their regular menu items. Depending on the venues, the special menus will be offered at

price points of $10, $20, $30 and $40, many of which will be complemented by B.C. wines, craft beers and cocktails. The festival was rebranded last year from the earlier ‘Bite of the Rock’ – a move which, along with increased media and social media exposure, significantly increased business in participating restaurants, Smith said. A new part of the festival this year is a partnership with Blue Frog Studios on the ‘Make It A Night’

promotion, in which festival-goers are encouraged to create a special night out by combining a Blue Frog concert with one of the Taste White Rock dining experiences. In addition to BIN 101, new participants include the Boathouse Restaurant, Five Corners Vietnamese Restaurant, Punje Spice Indian Restaurant, Wings Tap & Grill, Pelican Rouge Coffee, Java Express, Laura’s Coffee Corner, Bean Around the World, the Fishboat Restaurant and Look Watts

i from page 1 firearms were found at the scene. As the family prepares to mark the six-month anniversary of Hudson’s death, Brooks and her surviving children – Beau, 20, Riley, 19, and Shayla, 16 – say time has done little to heal the pain. “It feels like just yesterday it happened, but forever since we’ve seen him,” Brooks said. Brooks described Hudson, who was the second oldest of the family, as an “incredible” kid, with a protective nature, who worked out religiously and cooked dinner for his family every night. His siblings fondly remember his great sense of humour, noting he carried a football wherever he went and was always up for a game of catch. They laugh when they recall his crippling fear of raccoons – and how he used to scream when he saw one – and how much time he’d spend on the computer, despite his social, outgoing personality. Life without Hudson, they say, has not been easy. “The room seems a little less light without him,” Beau said, noting the holidays were particularly tough in his absence.

Younger brother Riley added, “It’s been a tough six months without him, and waiting for answers is so frustrating.” The case is under investigation by the Independent Investigations Office of BC (IIO), which investigates incidents involving police that result in serious injury or death. A spokesperson with the IIO told PAN this week the office is waiting on “third-party reports,” in order to proceed. Further information on the types of reports could not be provided by Marten Youssef, manager of strategic communications, who said those details were “out of our control.” “The IIO investigation continues to progress and we are working diligently to ensure a comprehensive and competent investigation is conducted in a timely manner,” Youssef said by email. For Brooks, not knowing what happened the night her son died has made the “horrific” experience that much more painful. “The silence is killing me,” she said, noting it could be another year before the family has answers. “I have begged and pleaded.

Please give me some answers, give me something. “They will not give me anything.” The family does take some comfort in the “amazing” response they’ve received from the community – upwards of 200 people turned out to a march in October to mark the three-month anniversary of Hudson’s death. Brook notes she has also received support and respect from many RCMP officers in the months since the incident. “Whoever was with my son that night, they definitely made the wrong choices,” she said. “But there are some amazing police officers out there.” As the family awaits answers, they hope to focus on celebrating Hudson’s life, as well as giving back to the community that has rallied around them in their pursuit of justice. A second march is set for Feb. 21 at 4 p.m. – beginning in the 1700-block of 152 Street – and Brooks encourages anyone who wishes to take part to do so in a peaceful manner. “We will be heard, but only though peace,” she said. “Every step we take brings us closer to justice for Hudson.”

Registration gets underway Jan. 25 i from page 1 more time to promote awareness of the program, we will get at least another half-dozen registrations to launch in the fall,” said Shawn Wilson, chairperson of the Surrey Board of Education. The Cougar Creek program would add to the six existing early French immersion programs at Laronde, Martha Currie, Peace Arch, Riverdale, Simon Cunningham and Woodward Hill elementaries. Parents must register their children at their neighbourhood school before applying to a choice program. Regular kindergarten registration opens at

The centre is facing funding problems. going to put it out to tender, we’re going to issue layoff notices right away, because we don’t know whether we’ll win the tender or not.” Ken Hardie, Liberal MP for Fleetwood-Port Kells, said he’s sent a letter to the federal minister responsible asking for bridge funding of three months so the Surrey district can properly bid on the work. “The previous government set up a horizon for their funding that ended on April 30,” Hardie said. He said he wants to assure services are continued and also that the Welcome Centre doesn’t lose valuable staff. “As soon as you send out any kind of layoff notice, people are going to start looking for other work,” Hardie said. “Our principle we go forward on, whether it’s this or infrastructure,

or anything else, is that the funding be reliable and predictable and you’re not staring down deadlines like the one they have here.” As to the boost in funding for extra staff that the district is seeking, it poses more of a problem, Hardie said. There are two other centres in Metro Vancouver (located in Vancouver and Coquitlam) offering similar services as the Welcome Centre. Still, many newcomers who are cycled through those locations often land in Surrey because of lower housing costs. Hardie said he and the school district are on “the same page” and the services provided by the Welcome Centre are “really needed.”

of the employment contract, the district has to give 90 days notice to Welcome Centre staff, meaning letters of termination will go out on Jan. 30 unless federal funding assurances are received. “The door is closing here – we are required to do things here by collective agreement,” Wilson told Black Press Wednesday, adding the loss of the Welcome Centre would be a large impediment to the proper flow of refugee services in the city. “The noose is tightening,” Wilson said. In addition to ongoing federal support, the district is also asking for a bump in funding to hire extra personnel. “Processing the new (Syrian) refugee children will be a much greater workload,” Wilson said. “We have no confirmation of a (funding) bump and we have no confirmation that the contract will be extended.

In the midst of a flood of Syrian refugees arriving in B.C. communities, including Surrey, a key service is under threat of shutting down due to lack of federal funding. The Welcome Centre, which is run by the Surrey School District, processes newcomers arriving in Surrey and helps assess the needs of immigrants. The newly elected federal Liberals have promised to bring 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada, with an estimated 800 to 1,000 coming to Surrey in the coming months. The Welcome Centre, located at 7525 King George Blvd., will be crucial in helping manage that influx, observers say. But the district says it will have to send out termination notices to staff by Jan. 30 unless it receives assurances from the federal government that $1.5 million in funding is coming. The future of the Welcome Centre has been in question for some time. About 18 months ago, the federal Conservatives put the immigrant services out to open tender, which the Surrey School District subsequently won. At the same time, funding had to be cut by about seven per cent annually because the Tories were going to slash some of the services, said Shawn Wilson, chair of the Surrey Board of Education. The Surrey contract ends on May 1. Due to conditions

Tragedy another bitter lesson

F

ew things cut so deeply into a community as the loss of young life. When two young men died last weekend after their truck went off an icy road and plunged into the Fraser River, it was an incident that also resonated in White Rock and South Surrey – just as it did all across the Lower Mainland. Sunday’s incident – the two high school grads were returning from 18th birthday celebrations for one of them – took place in Chilliwack. Only last year, three young men were killed on Highway 1 west of Hope when their vehicle left the road. But no one can doubt that both crashes – every parent’s worst nightmare – could just as easily have happened here. The truth is, we have had more than our share of incidents in the past where the potential of a young life was stolen, just on the edge of adulthood, by a traffic accident. Too many families in our community remain scarred – emotionally, if not physically – by similar tragedies. Last year, a woman had a lucky escape in Surrey when a truck driven by a 17-year-old male smashed into a bus stop where she was waiting. But a similar incident, in which a Jeep driven by a 17-year-old girl also plowed into a bus stop, ended the life of 22-year-old Evan Archibald. According to B.C. Automobile Association statistics, roughly 54 young people will die each year in motor-vehicle crashes. Thousands more sustain injuries that can affect them for the rest of their lives. That car crashes are the leading cause of death among young people should come as little surprise to anyone who reflects honestly on their own adolescence. Most adults can recall times when they did dangerous things; put themselves and their friends at risk. Those stories need to be shared, too, to remind anyone who will listen of the awesome power that a motor vehicle represents – the power to help, but also the power to cause harm. Driving is an immense responsibility that even seasoned drivers take for granted. The vehicles are comfortable; the ride is smooth. However, the physics remain immutable. Nothing will bring back the lives lost on that icy road Sunday morning. But the tragedy offers an opportunity to have a conversation – with ourselves and the people we love – about the risks that exist every time we turn on the ignition.

Were you surprised by BC Assessment’s valuation of your home? Vote online at www.peacearchnews.com

A few weeks ago, my two-year-old was throwing a mini-tantrum as I was trying to feed him some oatmeal. His older sister – who not too long ago was throwing toddler tantrums herself – grabbed the bowl and spoon from my hand, and casually said “I got this,” as she fed her instantly-calmed brother. I suddenly saw myself in the not-too distant future, wishing for one more game of This Little Piggy on my son’s chubby toes, or wishing I could watch Frozen for the thousandth time with my daughter. I realized that these are the small, heartswelling moments that make raising children such an amazing, indescribable – albeit exhausting and stressful – experience. It may be hard to find the joys of parenthood when they’re buried under mountains of laundry or scattered across a floor littered with Cheerios and fishy crackers. We’re never going to have the perfect ‘Hallmark Card’ life – if such a thing really exists – no matter how young or old our children are. So instead, we embrace the chaos by casting the vacuum cleaner aside in exchange for a bucket of Lego or a collection of plastic dinosaurs, clean floors be damned. After all, when our kids are grown, we won’t remember our pristine house or credit-card balances. We’ll be longing for sticky hands, muddy boots and yes, even a toddler tantrum. And we’ll no doubt be asking ourselves how on earth it went by so fast. Melissa Smalley is a reporter at the Peace Arch News.

Building bridges

Bureaucratic tunnel vision

Editor: After a turbulent, emotionally charged 2015, I reflect on how I chose to show up in this world. In a world aching for security, how did I – a mother of three, a Canadian and a Muslim – shape a more compassionate, bettereducated community? My small and humble contribution was made through something each of you, the readers and writers of the letters to the editor, see value in: words. Perhaps I haven’t been 100 per cent successful in opening minds, teaching facts and throwing light on issues. A recent letter by L. Wright (Closer look at refugees, Dec. 16 letters.) reminded me that not every effort I make will create a difference within everyone. The concerns voiced in his/her letter are ones I addressed directly in response to another of their letters five years ago. I am sorry to know that. So, why do I keep writing and speaking about cultural bridgebuilding? I do it because for every one person who chooses not to see a new perspective, there are several more who do. Too many people have told me that what I share with them has given them understanding and a real connection to the human beings in their community, and globally. Too many people for me to just give up. We each have this power to affect change through the words we speak and write. The question is – how do we use this power? Responsibly. Backed up by an education garnered by stepping out of our comfort zones and talking to people who have realworld experience with issues you are concerned about. To each of you using your words responsibly, thank you. I have enjoyed your letters and you have given me hope and faith when I have needed it most. And I hope you will continue in 2016, as I will, to speak up and show up. Taslim Jaffer, Surrey

Editor: I am writing about the province’s plans for the George Massey crossing. It seems that the province is determined to destroy the Massey Tunnel (which is in excellent condition even though it was built in 1958). I say, let’s keep the old Massey crossing, and then build a four-lane tunnel or bridge nearby. That would give us eight lanes of road. We do not need a 10-lane bridge/ tunnel. This end of the Fraser Valley does not boast a multi-million population, like Montreal, or Toronto, or L.A. Sure, the feds will pay part of the new bridge/tunnel. The province of B.C. will pay part of that cost. But, the commuters would have to pay the rest, with tolls, for decades. We are presently told that the cost of a new bridge would be $3.5 billion. (We all know about “cost overruns”). Maybe it would be five or six billion dollars?!

Thanks for festive fun Editor: Let me offer my thanks to the staff of Semiahmoo Shopping Centre for inviting local schools and groups to perform during the holiday season on the entertainment main stage in the food court. I was able to make it to most of the presentations and thoroughly enjoyed the good variety of Christmas music. Groups from primary school children to senior citizens took turns performing both vocally and instrumentally. It truly added to my enjoyment of the festive season and my time spent at the local shopping mall. Kudos also to PAN for advertising this so conspicuously during the month of December. Les Johnson, White Rock

We are told that the destruction of the present George Massey Tunnel would allow ocean-going large ships to pass through. I say (and everybody I talk to says), “To hell with large ships saling through.” Why should hundreds of thousands of motoroists care about the passage of large ships? Who cares if those ships carried coal or oil? I don’t. Alright, politicians, let’s have a vote on the issue by the general population. Let’s not let the politicians dictate everything! John Primrose, White Rock Q There is a lot of contention at present regarding a new toll bridge in the Deas Island area. This would mean relying on vehicle drivers from south of the Fraser to carry the main load of paying for this structure and all the other recent and future crossings required for access north of the Fraser. Those living to the north get a pass on most of those costs, as they relatively rarely travel south, remaining in an area that has had its transportation infrastructure requirements funded by the whole Greater Vancouver Regional District resources. The inequity to dwellers south of

the Fraser goes without saying. When taking the 351 bus to Bridgeport from White Rock/South Surrey in non-peak hours, no one boards at Matthews Exchange nor Steveston Highway. At Bridgeport, the bus users all seem to head downtown on the Canada Line. So the need appears to be easy access to central Vancouver from our area. Would it be possible to get people out of their cars before Deas Island by extending the Canada Line across the south arm of the Fraser on a new Sky Train bridge in that area? If a free parking facility were available there, the population of Ladner, Delta, Tsawassen, Surrey and White Rock would be well-served and able to access downtown more readily. Perhaps the tunnel could then manage the load. Such a system could eventually be connected to the Scott Road station along River Road, maybe at ground level, making it possible to travel clockwise or anti-clockwise throughout the light rapid transit system. Judging by the non-use of the new South Surrey Park ’n Ride, free parking is key to getting people to use public transit. Anthony Walter, Surrey

Sandra Houghton says residents spent hundreds of hours to impact a 26 Avenue development with no effect.

‘Opportunity for input’ frustrates Editor: The following recommendation from the City of Surrey appeared in the Dec. 30 Peace Arch News: “Have your say on development applications in your community.....Whether you are opposed or in support of a development application, now is the time to provide input.” I am responding to this statement. I live on the north side of 26 Avenue in Grandview Heights. Homes on this side of the street are estate homes on rural-designated properties. The south side of the street is largely forest or farmland that has been purchased for residential development. It took the united action of our neighbours nearly two years to negotiate an agreement with the first developer and the City of Surrey. Our only mandate was to have the new development respect our existing neighbourhood as required by the City. We compromised greatly during these negotiations but were eventually able to achieve improvements to the developer’s original plan to build 12 duplexes across from four single-family homes. In consideration of the incalculable hours we spent trying to maintain the character of our neighbourhood for all residents and pedestrian traffic to enjoy, we hoped that our effort would be acknowledged and respected by all developers who purchased land on the south side of our street.

It was by the second developer, who co-operated to amend his plans to respect our initiative. However, it became apparent that other developers may not consider it a priority to maintain the standard of our neighbourhood and so an online neighbourhood association was organized to help keep everyone informed of new development plans. However, the extensive time spent by several individuals, in particular, working on behalf of our entire neighbourhood, was not very successful in influencing the City to require developers to follow its own expectation that new developments must compliment or improve existing neighbourhoods. The third developer’s proposal to build duplexes across from our estate acreages was accepted by city hall despite our very clear opposition to it. Three hundred fifty signatures obtained in a petition over a two-week period last summer and the voices of multiple speakers at city hall was not an adequate display of opposition to have the duplex application denied. So, we “had our say” and we provided our “input,” but what was the purpose of the hundreds of hours for no negotiating opportunities with this third developer? Could we possibly have done any more to express our opposition to this development? Sandra Houghton, Surrey

The City of White Rock will “continue to monitor” pending changes to the city’s transit service, after receiving responses from TransLink about a request for more engagement for residents. The city is “going to have to persist in this,” Mayor Wayne Baldwin told Peace Arch News Wednesday. “At this stage of the game, they still do not know how they’re going to deal with the route changes they’re proposing. So until they get something figured out, there’s not really much point in working at it.” The city requested TransLink conduct a public forum after an assertion by Baldwin that outreach efforts following an Oct. 5 announcement of eight proposed changes in White Rock/South Surrey didn’t “do justice to the residents.” Two responses to the request were received – one dated Nov. 27, from TransLink acting CEO Cathy McLay, and a second dated Dec. 24 from TransLink’s vicepresident of transportation planning and policy Tim Savoie. Both were included in Monday’s council agenda. According to McLay, nearly

TransLink staff review proposed changes to local service with residents at an Oct. 29 booth at the White Rock Community Centre. 1,200 customers in White Rock/ South Surrey responded to an online survey – feedback she describes as “unprecedented.” McLay goes on to write that TransLink “made additional efforts to ensure that seniors had opportunities to provide feedback,” including through the distribution of 500 postcards, as well as phone surveys. TransLink also had a booth at an Oct. 29 city public forum on an unrelated matter, which drew “approximately 35 people,” according to the letter. McLay did not specifically respond to the city’s request for more engagement, but did write “the input from your community will be seriously considered

before moving forward with any changes.” Savoie’s letter notes that the transit authority had “heard White Rock’s request for additional engagement on the proposed changes and will account for this as the planning process continues.” In committing to keep an eye on things as TransLink works to implement changes, Baldwin noted there will be “a bit of time” before any take effect. Though the window for providing online feedback closed in early November, proposed changes can be found by visiting www.translink.ca/tnc, then selecting ‘South of Fraser.’

Longtime Cloverdale resident Allan Dann mourned

Storyteller, businessman remembered Jennifer Lang

R

Black Press

esidents of Cloverdale are mourning the loss of one of their longest-serving neighbours and friends – Allan Dann, a former volunteer fire captain and businessman who grew up above the family shop and was a lifelong citizen of Surrey’s historic heart. Dann died on Dec. 19 at the age of 91, just shy of the three-year anniversary of his retirement from Dann’s Electronics, Surrey’s oldest, continually operating, family-owned business. Generations of Cloverdale residents remember buying their first 10-speed bike, refrigerator, or TV at Dann’s, a full-service appliance and electronics sales and repair shop. The glorious neon sign with swooping red letters was a fixture on heritage-rich 176 Street along the famed Pacific Highway from the 1950s until the lights went out in January 2013. The business had operated for 91 years. It was started by his father in 1921, and moved to 5657 176 St. in 1932, a former Royal Bank with an upstairs apartment meant to house the bank manager and his family. It’s now a heritage building. Ernest H. Dann’s sold and repaired bicycles but evolved into wiring homes, businesses and farms, too, along with selling and servicing appliances and electronics as the decades passed and technical innovation and consumerism flourished. Ernest and Doris Dann were Irish immigrants who settled in Surrey. Allan was their only child. Growing up on Cloverdale’s main street, he forged many fond memories  â€“ and was privy to colourful language at the blacksmith’s next door, he told Black Press in an interview in 2013. “I was always over there, because it was interesting,â€? he joked. “I came back with new words.â€? He graduated from Surrey High School in Cloverdale in 1942, and soon went on to serve with the RCAF as an instrument mechanic during the Second World War, a job that took him up and down the B.C. coast. After the war, he returned to work in the family business, eventually taking over. He was most proud of his 35 years with the volunteer fire brigade with Hall 8 in Cloverdale, serving as a captain for many years, as well as assistant chief, earning two service medals in an era where there could be three to four calls a day.

Peace Portal Alliance Church program marks fifth anniversary

Recovery group celebrates Alex Browne Staff Reporter

The Celebrate Recovery program at Peace Portal Alliance Church marked an important milestone on Monday (Jan. 11). The fifth anniversary of the Semiahmoo Peninsula group, founded by Meri Dai Edwards and her husband, Ed, at the end of 2010, was celebrated with song (courtesy of the Barnson Band), prayer and personal testimony – and cake – by some 100 people in an upstairs meeting room at the church. The program offers a “Christcentered” alternative for those seeking to overcome addictive, compulsive and dysfunctional behaviours. As speakers at the meeting indicated, these can include alcohol and substance abuse, but are just as likely to include vicious cycles of anger, co-dependency, control issues and addictions of all kinds. Inspired by the Beatitudes (eight ‘blessings’ in the account of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew), Celebrate Recovery’s approach recognizes that every human being can be subject to “hurts, habits and hang-ups” and in need of the nurturing that mercy, love and humility can provide. In regular Monday night meetings – which now include introductory meetings as well as mens and womens groups – participants are free to share their ongoing struggles in a

Ed Edwards and Meri Dai Edwards cut a cake celebrating the fifth anniversary of the Celebrate Recovery group. non-judgmental, confidential setting following 12-step recovery principles that draw added reinforcement from scriptural equivalents. The anniversary also marked the 25th anniversary of the global Celebrate Recovery movement, which started at Pastor Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church in Orange County, Calif. and has since grown to 27,000 groups around the world

(and 70 in Canada alone). Metro Vancouver Celebrate Recovery representative Pastor Bruce Olson told the group that it is increasingly recognized that helping people repair “brokenness” is crucial work for churches like Peace Portal Alliance across Canada. “Some 70 per cent of people coming into church are coming through Celebrate Recovery,” he said. “We take the fall of man serious(ly). We do not want to be a backseat ministry…this is a great ministry for leadership.” Peace Portal Alliance senior pastor Scott Dickie, in congratulating the Edwards on their program, also emphasized that the program represented an important part of what the church can provide. “The key truth of the gospels is that if you’re a human being, you’re of immeasurable worth,” he said. “The reality is we are all broken.” Ed Edwards told Peace Arch News at the conclusion of the meeting that there are many different roads to recovery, and Celebrate Recovery also encourages participants to take full advantage of outside counselling and therapy. But it’s clear that the program’s blend of faith and 12-step recovery principles resonates with many. “Sometimes we all need a kick,” said Ed Edwards. “But what people find here is a lot of love and support.”

Snowbirds heading south in search of sun S

pread your tiny wings and fly away And take the snow back with you Where it came from on that day. Anne Murray, our iconic Canadian crooner, has the right idea when she urges the little snowbird to allow her to accompany him in his journey to sunnier climes. She is not alone. Thousands of Canadians flee the damp and cold of our Canadian winters for the lure of a sunnier climate in California, Hawaii, Arizona, Florida and Mexico. In fact, according to a report from the National Association of Realtors, Canadians bought $13.8 billion worth of U.S. properties in the 12 months leading up to March 2014. Our low Canadian dollar notwithstanding, Canadian snowbirds are throwing caution to the wind as they continue to head south in search of the sun. They may not own a property, but may alternatively rent a condo, enjoy an allinclusive resort or take their home with them on the road in an RV. I am one of them. Last year in January, it was a condo in Kauai and this year it is an allinclusive in Cancun. As you read this, I shall be sipping a margarita on a sandy beach in Mexico. Yes, I have a tough life but somebody has to live it! I am a wannabe snowbird and I make no apologies for that. Trouble is, I don’t have the financial resources to make this a reality so I shall simply enjoy the two weeks I have booked and dream about the six months reprieve a real snowbird enjoys. But meanwhile, since I am not yet a snowbird, I shall reflect on what other kind of migratory bird I might be. According to the Canadian Wildlife Federation, the following is a list of five of the most colourful migratory species to head south for winter. The red phalarope lives in northern Canada and during migration, this bird flies to the open sea, occasionally coming in closer to shore or on land. I like red!

Ottawa to await NEB recommendation

Pipeline review won’t be halted Jeff Nagel Black Press

The federal Liberals are revealing little of how they intend to revamp the system to review new oil pipelines, a promise made during last year’s election. Natural Resources Canada indicated it won’t short-circuit the National Energy Board review of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline twinning, which enters oral hearings next week and will be allowed to proceed to deliver a recommendation by a May 20 deadline. “The National Energy Board is conducting a thorough, sciencebased review of the proposed project,” department spokesperson Micheline Joanisse told Black Press by email. “The Government of Canada will await the recommendation from the Board before making a decision, or making any further comments on the project.” The federal response came after the B.C. government told the NEB that Kinder Morgan has not met the five conditions set out by the province. Those conditions, presented in 2012, include NEB approval, “world-leading” land and marine spill prevention and response, meeting legal obligations to aboriginal communities and an unspecified “fair share” of provincial benefits from any new heavy oil pipeline project.

Kinder Morgan Canada photo

Segments of the pipeline have already been twinned, including this portion near Jasper. Kinder Morgan issued a statement Monday saying it continues to work with B.C., but requirements for aboriginal consultation, spill prevention and revenue sharing can’t be met by the company alone. Opponents of the $6.8-billion pipeline project had hoped the province’s stance would trigger more decisive federal action. Prior to forming government, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had vowed to modernize the NEB to restore public trust to the process and Joanisse reiterated that pledge to introduce “credible and robust” environmental and regu-

latory reviews. “Our plan will include a transition period for projects currently under review to provide some certainty through the modernization process,” she said. “No project proponent will be asked to return to square one.” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said the federal Liberals suddenly seem to be taking a different tone on the project’s review now that they’re in power. “When now-Prime Minister Trudeau was running he said this process wasn’t science-based, that it was in fact ignoring important environmental issues, that it wasn’t considering climate change,” Corrigan said. “I don’t see how this government can be in Paris claiming to be part of an avant garde movement to try to deal with climate change worldwide and at the same time say that the National Energy Board, which is full of hacks from the oil industry, is doing a science-based review.” Corrigan said the NEB process is fundamentally flawed and can’t be fixed with minor tweaks or some sort of secondary panel review to plug gaps in the first one. The new government has inherited an NEB that includes several board members appointed or reappointed by the Conservatives in the dying days of their mandate.

B.C. government invests in genetic treatment

Cancer program gets results Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government is investing an extra $3 million to expand a program that tailors cancer treatment to the genetic makeup of individual patients. The B.C. Cancer Agency is ramping up its Personalized Onco-Genomics (POG) project after seeing encouraging results, including reversal of some cancers thought to be all but untreatable. Researchers cautioned that the technique isn’t a cure for cancer, but it has been effective in identifying drugs that can reduce a life-threatening condition to a manageable chronic illness. Dr. Janessa Laskin, the cancer specialist in charge of the POG program, said three quarters of the oncologists in B.C. are now participating in the program, selecting and referring patients from all over the province. The technique is “the future of oncology,� and the goal is to keep expanding it until every cancer patient can be assessed, Laskin said. Premier Christy Clark and Health Minister Terry Lake announced the additional funds at the B.C. Cancer Agency in Vancouver Tuesday. Clark said the intent is to increase funding further in the coming years for a program that is attracting international interest and financial support.

It doesn’t ever feel like work.” The “organic acoustic guitar and vocal trio” specializes in breathing new fire into classic songs of the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s – a “musical journey from America to Zeppelin,” as their advance material proclaims – with all the experience to back it up.

Chatoor, well-versed in creating a warm, welcoming and inclusive ambience – as her evenings at Sheila’s attest – also has a powerful vocal talent, and the musical skills, honed over decades, to sell just about any song. The added kick of working with The Rockingbyrds is that she gets to play her all-time favourite material, she said. “Of all the groups I work with, this is the one that started with my songbook,” she said. “These are all the songs I love and wanted to sing. In my other groups, usually

somebody else is giving me the set list, and while I love that and am so grateful to have that going in my life, this is the song list of my youth, and it’s so great that I get to sit down and play them.” The songs The Rockingbyrds choose exert the same appeal for audiences, Chatoor noted. “We’ve had people come up to us after a set and say ‘you just played my whole teenage years’,” she said. “They’ll say, ‘you’ve played songs I haven’t heard in 20 or 30 years.” In addition to allowing them to share insider “road stories”

inspired by each tune, the loose and intimate format of the Blue Frog show will permit audience requests – the trio virtually never works from a formal set list, Chatoor acknowledged. “I don’t micromanage things,” she said, adding that Rockingbyrds audiences get to see the nuts and bolts of the musicians’ process of formulating an impromptu performance of each tune – and their ability to pretty much ‘nail it’ right off the bat. Naturally, you can’t do that without feeling very secure and confident about your musical company – but Neill and Marsland are two of her dream musicians to work with, Chatoor said. Mutual respect helps the trio mesh seamlessly, each taking turns in the spotlight without any collision of egos, she added. “I’ve worked with Russell for a number of years on the Top-40 project and one day I was asked to do a duo and asked him to do the gig with me. He’s got about 30 years of experience on me, but he was just so polite and so supportive. “We continued doing duo gigs after that, but one night Russell couldn’t make a gig, so I asked Jeff if he would come in for Russell. “I knew right then I had to put the two together,” she said. “As much as Russell lifted me up, he couldn’t be free to be the amazing (player) he is – I didn’t have the ability to back him up like Jeff can.” Neill – while also possessed of incredible solo chops himself – has a great sense of group dynamic that adds to Rockingbyrds performances, Chatoor said. “Jeff listens to what you’re doing,” she said. “He’s magnificent in holding it down and keeping it all together.” Tickets ($38.50) are available at 604-542-3055 or through www. bluefrogstudios.ca

A show of some 26 acrylic paintings, pastels and charcoal drawings, opening Jan. 18 at Semiahmoo Library, is the first for a Peruvian-Canadian artist, Julio Moreno. Moreno, 71, who emigrated to Canada some 45 years ago, first began creating art about six years ago, after retiring from a career in electrical engineering and security work. “I told my wife many, many years ago that when I retire, I’m going to do art,” he said. But while Moreno has had a lifelong knack of drawing things (“doodling,” he calls it), it was only after he retired that he began learning techniques in different media, taking some 24 art course credits as a mature student at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

Ryan Mooney to direct popular musical

Cats comes to Playhouse It’s a show with well over nine lives under its belt. Cats, the Andrew Lloyd Webber megahit musical, has prowled its way to stages all over the world, but it’s finally making its White Rock debut Jan. 27-Feb. 7 at Coast Capital Playhouse, in a version directed by Ryan Mooney. Based on the popular volume of poems by T.S. Eliot, Cats tells the story of the annual gathering of the ‘Jellicle Cats’, during which one special cat is selected to ascend to the Heaviside layer. Mooney, artistic director of Fighting Chance Productions, says he sees the show as a natural for his independent Vancouver-based theatre company. Previously noted for its versions of Jesus Christ Superstar, Into The Woods, Spring Awakening and The Rocky Horror Show, the multiple CTC and Ovation Award-winning company has always gravitated towards the avant garde – and that’s just the way Cats was perceived at the time of its initial Broadway run. In true Fighting Chance fashion – according to a company press release – the current production will be given a particularly intimate feel, placing the audience within “petting” distance of the action. “Cats was the second big Broadway show I ever saw,” Mooney said in the release. “I was enamoured with the music and the simplicity of the story. Not only is it a musical

Cats ran in London’s West End for 21 years and Broadway for just over 18 years, and is enjoying a new lease of life currently – following a successful revival in London, a professional production is headed to Broadway once again. Meanwhile, the Fighting Chance version will star a cast of 20 triple-threat performers from all over the Lower Mainland. They include Ian Backstrom, Daniel Bergeron, Lyndsey Britten, Kenneth Cheung, J.D. Dueckman, Cody Fonda, Lucia Forward, Hannah Gauthier, Fairlith Harvey, Kristen Hogan,

Shayna Holmes, Damon Jang, Amanda Lau, Randy McCormick, Lisa Ricketts, Levia Schneider, Sarah Seekamp, Nazanin Shijoa, Doug Thoms and Lauren Trotzuk.

Well-travelled Tyler Basham finds a home on ice at SFU

Hockey odyssey Nick Greenizan

S

Sports Reporter

ometimes, it pays to go where nobody knows your name. It was that anonymity that Tyler Basham believes helped him carve out a solid junior ‘A’ hockey career which, in turn, led him to a roster spot with Simon Fraser University’s squad. Basham, a Surrey resident and Cloverdale Minor Hockey alum, is in his second season with the SFU Clan, but compared to many of his teammates – who played junior ‘A’ or major-junior hockey in Western Canada – Basham’s career arc has followed a much more scenic route. After playing 16 games of major-midget with the Valley West Hawks, followed by a season of Junior ‘B’ with the Port Moody Panthers, Basham – in search of a better opportunity to showcase his talents – packed up his hockey bag and headed south, to Texas, where he played for the El Paso Rhinos of the Western States Hockey League. He had connected with the team after being scouted while playing for Canada West at the Chowder Cup, a youth tournament in Boston. “I’d almost made a few teams (in B.C.), I was the last cut, that sort of thing, and after awhile, I never really felt like I got a fair shot – because of my size, or whatever,” said the 22-year-old Basham, who stands just fivefoot-nine. “So it was great to go down there, where they didn’t know me, and make a really good first impression.” It didn’t take the forward long to make an impact with his team club. After making the final roster, he ended up finishing third in team scoring with 46 points in 42 games – more than doubling his offensive output the previous season in Port Moody. And though the transition to living not just away from home, but in an entirely

Cloverdale Minor Hockey alum Tyler Basham is in his second season playing for Simon Fraser University, after a whirlwind junior career. new country, was an adjustment, it was one Basham said he grew to appreciate. “I went from living right near one border to another,” he said, referring to El Paso’s location right along the US-Mexico border. “I was fresh out of high school, so it was a huge jump, being down there on my own, living with billets, but it was good – I definitely like Mexican food a lot more now.” Basham was one of just a handful of Canadians on the team, and though the culture shock was noticeable at first, one place it wasn’t as obvious was on the ice. Though south Texas isn’t exactly known as

a hockey hotbed, Basham said the fans were enthusiastic and eager to learn about the game. “It was a lot of fun,” he said. After one more season in El Paso – where he again scored at a point-per-game pace – Basham made the decision to again pull up stakes and head for better competition, this time to Pennsylvania’s Johnstown Tomahawks of the North American Hockey League. Once again, he went to training camp having never been seen by the team’s coaches.

“It was a bit of a risk, I guess – I could’ve went back to El Paso for my 20-year-old season, but I wanted to move up to a better league and I just felt like it was something I had to do, to challenge myself,” he said. “Everyone knew what my goals were – to get a college scholarship – and Johnstown was a good opportunity.” Basham impressed Johnstown staff at an open tryout, followed by the team’s main camp, and eventually found himself on the opening-day roster. He played 56 games for the Tomahawks, tallying 17 points. i see page 28

Major-midget hockey squad scores 17 times in two-game weekend series

Valley West Hawks fill net in sweep of Blazers Rick Kupchuk Black Press

Boaz Joseph photo

Hawks’ Michael Farren scored five goals Saturday night.

The Valley West Hawks had no trouble earning four points in Kamloops last weekend, scoring 17 goals in two games to defeat the Thompson Blazers by scores of 12-0 and 5-1. The victories kept the Hawks atop the standings in the BC Hockey Major Midget League. Their record of 20-5-1 (win-losstied) has them even with the Cariboo Cougars on points, but with two fewer games played. Valley West can take some huge steps towards nailing down top spot in the next couple of weeks. Next weekend, they will face-off

against the third-place Vancouver Giants in a home-and-home series, then will play the Cougars twice in Richmond the following weekend. Against the Blazers, Valley West had no trouble dominating a team that has won just twice in 28 starts. Saturday evening, they led 3-0 after one period and 6-0 after two, then tallied six more times in the final period. “We came out all cylinders firing Saturday. We talked about the need for our us to play our way and our team delivered,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. “I liked how we attacked the game. We were relentless on the attack.

We did a lot of the little things we talk about that our team does to be successful.” Michael Farren scored five times and added one assist to pace the Hawks, with Justyn Gurney adding a pair. Josh Bruce, Daniel Chifan, Carson Franklin, Ben Evanish and Christian Bosa netted one goal each. Luka Burzan contributed with three assists. Valley West waited until the third period of Sunday’s game to pull away for the victory. Evanish had the visitors up 1-0 after one period, and added his second of the game midway through the second period to break a 1-1 tie. Farren notched a pair early in

the third period, then Franklin closed out the scoring. James Malm had a pair of assists. The Hawks will visit the Vancouver Giants (16-6-4) Saturday evening at the North Shore Winter Club, then play a rematch Sunday morning at 11 a.m. at the Langley Events Centre. “The Giants are the only team we have yet to tally a win on this season and we’re anxious to change that,” said Leung. “We’ve been playing really good hockey since the start of November. We’re looking to continue that play through this next stretch where we play the other teams in the top four in the next four weeks.”

It’s shaping up to be a busy next few weeks for a pair of Cloverdale curlers. Tyler and Jordan Tardi – and their coach, Paul Tardi – will represent B.C. later this month at 2016 Canadian Junior Curling Championships in Stratford, Ont. In addition to Tyler (skip) and Jordan (second), the Langley Curling Club-based team also includes Daniel Wenzek, Nicholas Meister and Sterling Middleton. The national showdown wraps up Jan. 31. From there, Jordan Tardi, Wenzek and Meister will held to Nelson for BC Men’s Curling Championships, which are set for Feb. 10-14, while Tyler Tardi and Middleton will board a plane for Lillehammer, Norway, where they’ll represent Canada at the Youth Olympic Games, which run from Feb. 12-21.

Grey Cup

Edmonton Eskimos kicker Sean Whyte – a Semiahmoo Peninsula resident and Semiahoo Secondary alum – is bringing the Grey Cup home later this month. The 30-year-old veteran of the Canadian Football League – who won his first CFL championship last November – said via Twitter this week that he will be bringing the prestigious trophy to White Rock on Sunday, Jan. 24. Whyte told Peace Arch News he will have the trophy at Bennett Craft and Kitchen (187 176 St., near the Pacific Highway border crossing) from about 6:30-9 p.m. that day. “Can’t wait to show everyone,” he tweeted. Also this week, it was announced that Whyte – who joined the Esk midway through last season – would be back in Edmonton for another year, after signing a one-year contract with the team on Monday.

Hoops squads seek first wins After resuming league play with a road trip to Vancouver Island, The Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) men’s basketball team is still looking for its first win. The KPU Eagles fell 97-72 to the Camosun Chargers Friday night in Victoria, then dropped a 11657 decision Saturday afternoon to the Vancouver Island Mariners. Despite their 0-9 (win-loss) record, the Eagles are just two games out of a playoff position. The Douglas College Royals hold on to the sixth and final playoff spot with a 2-7 record, one game up on the Columbia Bible College Bearcats. Playing against a Chargers team

which had won three of its first seven games, the Eagles trailed 20-14, 49-34 and 77-56 at the quarter breaks. Frank Hurt Secondary graduate Kyanith Thapa was the top scorer for KPU with 17 points, with Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary graduate Nick Smith achieving the double double with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Devin Cvitanovich came off the bench to score 11 points. A day later in Nanaimo, the undefeated Mariners sprinted to a 29-11 lead after 10 minutes and stretched it to 51-19 by halftime. Moeiz Athaya led the Eagles with 15 points. Joshua Kurucz was the only other player to score in

double figures, netting 13 points. The KPU Eagles women’s team is also seeking its first victory of the season, and finds itself three games out of a playoff position after two losses on Vancouver Island. Desiree Lister paced KPU with 13 points in an 86-43 loss to the Camosun Chargers Friday night. Lister netted another 11 points to go with a team-best eight rebounds Saturday in Nanaimo, where the Eagles lost 70-43 to the Vancouver Island Mariners. The two KPU teams will play Friday in New Westminster against the Douglas College Royals and Saturday in North Vancouver against the Capilano Blues.

Family ‘a benefit’ to playing at home i from page 25 Johnstown – famous for being the home of the minorpro Johnstown Chiefs, and the filming location for the cult hockey movie Slap Shot – was a great place to play, Basham said. “It was so cool, such a great hockey town,” he said. “The fans were incredible, and they absolutely loved the team. They’d talk to you when they’d see you (away from the rink), but they’d also let you hear it if you did something dumb.” When his junior career

wrapped up, Basham said he could’ve continued his hockey pilgrimage by joining an NCAA Div. 3 college program, but decided, in part for family reasons, to return home and play at SFU. “Family wasn’t the main reason I decided to play here, but it was a nice benefit, for sure,” he said. Like he did first in El Paso and then in Johnstown, Basham again fit in well with his new club. As a freshman last year, he scored 13 points in 23 games,

and this season, he has 13 points in just 11 contests. Last Friday, against Eastern Washington University, Basham scored the shootout winner to help cap SFU’s 4-3 comeback victory; at one point, they’d been down 3-0 to their BC Intercollegiate Hockey League rivals. The next night, also against EWU in Cheney, Wash., SFU won 6-4. “The first half of our season (before Christmas) went pretty well, so hopefully we’re able to keep it going,” Basham said.

PROPERTY ASSESSMENT “At a high level, we are seeing a slight increase in the price of our single family homes, with strata properties staying relatively stable,” says Deputy Assessor, Fraser Valley Region, Brian Smith.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Property assessment:

Understanding the value of your home By Nicolle Hodges

It has been the hot topic of conversation as of late: property assessments. Simply put, property value and market value is what a purchaser is willing to pay for property rights and what a seller is willing to sell those rights for. Provincial and municipal tax authorities use this information to calculate the amount of property tax each owner will pay. Nearly 500,000 property owners throughout the Fraser Valley region recently received their 2016 assessment notices, which reflect market value as of July 1, 2015. The total assessed values in the Fraser Valley increased from $294.1 billion to $321.1 billion – an increase of nearly 10 per cent. The regions that saw the highest increases were Ladner in Delta, and Seafair, Burkeville, and Blundell in Richmond. Homeowners need to remember that it is not necessarily an indication that their property taxes are going to increase by that increased percentage value. “At a high level, we are seeing a slight increase in the price of our single family homes, with strata properties staying relatively stable,” says Deputy Assessor, Fraser Valley Region, Brian Smith. “For all other property types, it is too

early for us to speculate on what the market is doing because of a lack of sales.” A key factor to keep in mind is that every home is different and location and condition may play a role in the resale value of the individual property. “BC Assessment considers each property's unique characteristics. These are the same characteristics that a home purchaser would consider, including size, layout, shape, age, finish, quality, number of carports, garages, sundecks and condition of buildings. Services in the area, location, views and neighbourhood may also influence a property's market value,” says Smith. “Then, BC Assessment appraisers analyze all real estate sales in their area and develop common units of comparison and corresponding values to determine what the property would sell for as of July 1st each year. They review similarities and differences between properties to arrive at a uniform assessed value for a particular property.” If someone disagrees with the market value of their property, Smith says that they should first look at sales of properties in the area using BC Assessment’s comparable sales tools. He then advises making a call to their offices to discuss your assessment

notice with an appraiser about the market value or any information that may be wrong on their assessment. “If still concerned with their assessment, owners may submit a Notice of Complaint (appeal) by February 1, for an independent review by the Property Assessment Review Panel,” he says. So, what’s on the horizon for housing? Steve Lerigny, Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board (CADREB) Executive Officer, says that

their outlook at this time is for a continued strong market. “We are expecting new home construction to come on stronger in 2016, which should open up the resale market,” he says. As for first time homebuyers entering the market, Lerigny says that options are numerous and can meet the lifestyle choice they ultimately would like to have. CADREB is seeing a migration of buyers coming from the West, which is a good indication of people looking for affordability.

“First time buyers will need to make purchasing decisions based on what the can afford versus the vision they may have in the heads,” he says. “For some this may mean an adjustment in expectations, looking at Townhouses or apartments versus a detached home, or it could mean location moves, like looking westward versus living in the big city.” For more information, visit bcassessment.ca or call 1-866-825-8322.

IN MEMORIAM

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

Few get to measure life by a century of accomplishment. Our father’s passing ends a long and wonderful life so full of personal reward and contributions to the success of family, community and country. Raised in Cambridge, Ontario, outdoor life was his rite of passage; from frozen ponds to summer streams and fall brilliance, or his Toronto Maple Leafs; a fan for life he watched them play in the Arena Gardens on Mutual Street & then the Maple Leaf Gardens.

Interesting, inquisitive and kind, he left school at 14 to support his family, served overseas in WW II with the RCAF, and enjoyed a 25-year career in the RCMP. In 1951 he married Stella Roach who he met in Delisle, Saskatchewan. Together they followed his career across the Canadian Prairies, Yukon Territory and British Columbia. In the 1960’s Dad was tasked with establishing Surrey’s first RCMP Auxiliary police force, recruiting and training volunteers to augment the Force’s policing initiatives. Dad was always ready to lend a helping hand whether it was Scouts Canada or Meals on Wheels. Surviving him are Stella, his six children: Dale (Wendy,) Miles (Carolyn,) Don (Gabi,) Eileen, Janet (Greg) and Gerry (Valerie;) 12 grandchildren and two great grandchildren. At Dad’s request, there is no funeral. Special thanks to Evergreen Campus of Care and Peace Arch Hospital. In lieu of flowers donations to Evergreen Care Recreation Department would be appreciated.

OBITUARIES

WOOD, Keith

March 1st, 1939 - January 8th, 2016 Keith passed away on January 8th at Peace Arch Hospice. He is survived by his adoring wife Gwen, his sister Marjorie (Peter Lewis) and his friends. Keith was born in Lancashire, England. In 1952, he immigrated to Canada with his parents Lilian and Chris Wood and his sister Marjorie. In the early stages of his career, Keith worked as a radio operator in many locations along the West coast. His favourite area was Estevan Point. He returned to the academic fold and graduated with a Ph.D in Psychology. Upon graduating, Keith accepted a position with Lakehead University in Thunder Bay and went on to become the Dean of Continuing Education. When on sabbatical, he spent a post doctoral year at Harvard University in Boston with a focus on Thanatology. Upon returning to B.C. he accepted a psychologist position with what was then Workers Compensation Board. In the latter part of his career, he served as Clinical Director with Peace Arch Community Services. Upon retirement Keith realized his dream to captain his boat and circumnavigate Vancouver Island with his wife Gwen. Keith was an amazing cook and enjoyed sharing his creations with friends. Keith was the epitome of grace. His infinite generosity and playful humour will be sadly missed. With love, wisdom and moral courage, he served as a mentor and true friend to many. He was a devoted husband to his wife Gwen. No flowers please. Donations are not expected but can be made to Peace Arch Hospital Foundation and Doctors Without Borders. Keith requested no service.
