White Rock purchase of water utility doesn’t eliminate GVWD possibility
Metro water hookup ‘not off table’ Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
It would cost the City of White Rock $27 million over the next decade to join the Greater Vancouver Water District, according to a recently released report on the option, which the mayor said this week is not “off the table” just yet. The April 23, 2013 report – released publicly by Metro Vancouver on Friday – out-
lines the costs, infrastructure and time frame associated with White Rock joining the GVWD. The report was requested by the city in March of that year, a month after council voted to explore purchasing the water utility from Epcor. Because the report had been the subject of in-camera discussions at Metro Vancouver, it was kept confidential until White Rock made a formal request Nov. 27 for the information
to be made public, the same day Peace Arch News published a news article about residents seeking the projected cost details. The estimated $27-million cost outlined in the report comprises $12 million in capital costs – additional facilities required include a pump station adjacent to the Sunnyside Reservoir, the closest GVWD reservoir to White Rock, and approximately three kilometres of water main.
Incremental costs to the city – to pay for upgrades required to GVWD facilities as a result of the “additional demands” of having White Rock connected – were estimated to be $13.1 million over a nine-year period. The report estimates a cost of $2 million for the city to twin the water-main connections to “increase system resiliency” and projected the process would take two to three years. i see page 4

A love to remember Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Every day, Stan Fryer sings Anne Murray’s Could I Have This Dance to his wife, Shirley. It’s a reminder of when they met, back in 1946, and how they danced the night away. “I really feel that song was sung for us,” the White Rock senior said Monday. “I think we knew right from the start when we danced, that we were going to spend the rest of our lives together. “I can still feel us dancing on the floor. When you have memories like that, that’s what keeps you going.” Stan, 89, has told the story of his wife’s Alzheimer’s disease many times since she was diagnosed in 2002. At the time, they had Arun Fryer been married 54 years. filmmaker And while the news was “absolutely devastating”, Stan said Shirley made the decision to face the disease head-on and talk openly about it. So, he made the decision to make sure she never had any stress, supporting and caring for her as the disease took its progressive

It’s a love that Stan’s grandson, Arun, is confident is the reason his grandmother has done as well as she has over the years. And, it’s a story the filmmaker is determined to share, through a documentary he hopes will show a different side to the heartbreaking
disease. Arun, 40, admits that Before She’s Gone didn’t start out as a love story; he had simply wanted to celebrate his grandfather as a caregiver. The idea evolved with the help of his fiancée, Ana Carrizales, who saw something more in the footage. “This is not a preconceived notion that we had for the film, it sort of grew organically,” he said. “The more we dove into how he
cares for her… it just kept coming back to how much he loves her.” Stan cared for Shirley at home until just over a year ago, when he was hit with a bout of viral pneumonia, and warned by his doctor that his days were numbered if he continued on as-is. “I took all the stress, and that’s what runs you down,” Stan said. “But it was worth it, still worth it. I’ve given her a few more years.” Stan continues to visit Shirley
every day, telling her he loves her dozens of times each visit, because she forgets. And while Shirley doesn’t recall their 67 years of marriage, she still lights up at the sight of her husband. Arun believes the message in Before She’s Gone will resonate with many. “It’s really the patience that he shows, that’s what we’re trying to pitch,” Arun said. i see page 2

Stan, who facilitates a group for other caregivers, didn’t hesitate when asked what message he hopes people will take away from Before She’s Gone. “I hope it brings a message to a lot of people that are going through Alzheimer’s as a caregiver to realize how important it is to love a person, because if they don’t love, they don’t have the patience,” he said. “I say, I don’t have patience, I just have love.

White Rock buys Vidal Street home of former councillor for $1.4 million
House purchase boosts parking plans Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
The City of White Rock has purchased a hillside home in the West Beach area for $1.4 million as part of a strategy to increase waterfront parking options. The property, at 1156 Vidal St., overlooks an existing parking lot adjacent to the sixstorey Sausalito condo development on Victoria Avenue. Prior to the purchase, the house was owned by former White Rock councillor Alan Campbell, who served on council from 2008 to 2014, but was not re-elected for a third term. Campbell told Peace Arch News via email Tuesday that he built the house on a vacant lot 30 years ago and has “loved living there,” noting it will be “difficult to drive away.” He pointed to the The Sausalito development, at 14955 Victoria Ave., as a reason for selling his home, noting approval of the zon-
ing by court order in 2009 was “devastating” for his neighbourhood. “In my house, it’s like living in a fishbowl and ruined what we legitimately had,” Campbell said. Campbell said he has been assured that neighbours on Vidal Street and Beach View would be consulted on the parkade design. The city’s purchase of the house – which is adjacent to property already owned by the city – was made with money from the land sale reserve fund. Mayor Wayne Baldwin told PAN Monday that there are no specific plans in place for the design of the parking structure or how many stalls it will accommodate. “We’re looking at three or four levels, but it could be more,” Baldwin said. “It depends on what’s reasonable to put in there.” A city news release issued Friday said that acquiring the property would increase the

In December, Coun. Grant Meyer told PAN
he wanted the city to revisit plans to build a parking facility on the Marine Drive ‘hump.’ Meyer pointed to a 2003 city-commissioned development plan that would have created 125 parking stalls and a pedestrian plaza, noting it was “worth a second look.” When asked this week if the Vidal Street purchase would have an impact on possible hillside plans, Baldwin said the city “would have to wait and see.” “At this stage, it’s too early to tell, but it’s also an option I suppose,” Baldwin said, noting that the biggest “problem” with that idea is that the Burlington Northern Sante Fe-owned land is not currently leased by the city. Baldwin said the city will be issuing a request for proposals for the parkade design and construction, and expected the project wouldn’t be completed until the end of 2017. – with files from Alex Browne
21-year-old arrested
Charge laid in assault on teen A Saltspring Island man is facing a sexual assault charge following an incident Jan. 5 in White Rock. Sgt. Joel Glen said police arrested the 21-year-old after responding to a report at a White Rock home involving a 17-yearold victim. Patrols located the suspect – who is known to the victim – walking near the White Rock RCMP detachment. Peace Arch News learned of the charge last week, from court records. A news release was not issued by police. Glen said the incident does not warrant public notification. “There’s no risk to the public, it wasn’t a stranger (assault),” Glen said. The accused is due back in court on March 2.

Public speaking contest wraps up in Surrey with multicultural celebrations
Peninsula youth prove power of speech Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Three Semiahmoo Peninsula youngsters took top honours among finalists at the first annual Alpha Power Speaking Youth Awards and Multicultural Festival, Friday (Jan. 29) at the Bell Performing Arts Centre. Rita Zhu, 9, won first place in the six- to 10-year-olds age category of the finals; Karina Zhou, 13, placed first among 11- to 14-yearolds, while Alex Wen, 17 took the top spot in the 15- to 18-year-old age bracket. All three will deliver their winning speeches to White Rock council at an upcoming meeting, at the invitation of Mayor Wayne Baldwin.
The English-language contest, organized by the Peninsula-based Chinese Village Club – and sponsored by Alpha Financial Services Inc. and the City of White Rock – is aimed at encouraging young Canadians from all cultural backgrounds to express themselves through public speaking. Judges for the event were Kirk Mitchell, interim program director for the master of arts in leadership program at Trinity Western University, Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg and Ruby Gao, representative from Alpha Financial Services. Surrey Board of Education trustee Laurae McNally and Moti Bali, president of the
International Community Celebrations Society (ICCS), also presented awards at the ceremony to ‘Rising Stars’ Isabel Chen, 12; Emma Hacock 13, Rain Huang and David Zheng. Second- and third-place contestants were (age six to 10) Gary Wang and Ashley Lee; (1114) Julie Wu and Tina Yong; and (15-18) Gary Yong and Welson Ma. Other participants in the stage show included Vancouver International School of Music; the ICCS Learning Stars; Spiral Dance; Lims Kids Performance; and Semiahmoo K-Pop.

A pre-trial conference has been set in the case of Jeffrey Caillé, the man charged with murdering White Rock resident Bruce Ridout 18 months ago. According to court records, the proceedings, set during a recent appearance in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster, are to get underway on March 2. Caillé – 22 years old at the time of his arrest – is charged with second-degree murder, one count of assault causing bodily harm and two counts of assault in connection with an altercation Aug. 10, 2014 at Ridout’s home in the 900-block of Ash Street. Caillé, who has been out on bail since last February with conditions to reside with one of his parents in Quebec, was ordered last spring to stand trial. The ruling followed a preliminary inquiry in Surrey Provincial Court. – Tracy Holmes

Epcor estimated the capital costs – not including costs incurred to Metro Vancouver or the cost of purchasing water – to be $23 million, and determined the option to be “significantly more costly� than upgrades to the existing system. When asked why the city’s report was kept confidential if Epcor had explored the same option, Baldwin said joining the GVWD “wasn’t something that was possible for (Epcor).� “As a private corporation, they would not have been allowed to join the GVWD,� he said. (A process is in place for nonMetro Vancouver municipalities to join the GVWD; Point Rob-
erts and the University Endowment Lands both have waterpurchase agreements in place with the region.) City manager Dan Bottrill – in response to queries about how the projected GVWD costs would compare to costs incurred by the purchase of the water utility from Epcor – told PAN the GVWD option could not be considered until the utility was owned by the city. “When we talked last spring about whether we should be expropriating the utility, a lot of people were saying we should be joining Metro. But we didn’t have that control,â€? Bottrill said. “For the city to‌ join Metro, first we needed to acquire the utility. The water could be coming from Metro, but where was it going to go?

Tolling-reform proponents fear the Alex Fraser Bridge will be unusable if it ends up the last free crossing of the Fraser River in Metro Vancouver.
Fair, consistent tolls pushed with new Massey Bridge
SBOT urges tolling reform Jeff Nagel Black Press
The replacement of the Massey Tunnel with a new toll bridge must come with reforms to make tolling consistent and fair across the region, according to the Surrey Board of Trade. The business group has come out in support of the proposed 10-lane bridge but is also strongly urging the province to begin the dialogue on roadpricing reforms so drivers don’t jam traffic by trying to use a dwindling number of untolled bridges. “Co-ordinated regional planning for infrastructure and tolling policy is desperately needed to ensure that no area is unduly penalized by unequal tolling practices,” CEO Anita Huberman said. “What we’re telling the province is to start the dialogue immediately. We can’t wait.” Various flavours of road pric-
ing have already been suggested, from smaller tolls on all existing bridges to per-kilometre road use fees, perhaps varying by time of day and degree of congestion. Huberman said she hopes there is political will provincially to explore what change is needed and make it happen. She said the livability of the Metro Vancouver region is at stake as the population grows, as well as the ability to attract new business. “If our costs on this side of the bridge or the river continue to increase, it’s going to compromise our economy,” Huberman said. A Surrey Board of Trade survey with the South Surrey/White Rock Chamber of Commerce last month found 60 per cent of respondents supported adding tolls to existing untolled bridges to help finance replacements and support ongoing maintenance. It found 34.5 per cent opposed.
The province’s current tolling policy says tolls can only be added to new infrastructure and only when a reasonable untolled alternative exists. Transportation Minister Todd Stone has said that policy will likely have to change if both the new Massey Bridge and the replacement Pattullo Bridge are tolled, as proposed by the province and TransLink respectively, to keep too much traffic from piling up at the free Alex Fraser Bridge. Stone has yet to deliver a previously promised tolling policy review, but he has encouraged discussion about toll reforms as part of the Massey replacement consultations. Two open houses were conducted last week and comments on the Massey Bridge proposal are being accepted until Feb. 15. The Surrey Board of Trade will lead a forum on the road pricing on April 8.

federal government will offer more generous contributions to new transit lines in Metro as part of its infrastructure stimulus program, potentially reducing the amount of new money that would need to be raised locally. The poll did not ask about the use of a sales tax, which was the proposal that went down to defeat in last year’s transit tax plebiscite. Canseco said the poll uncovered a striking divide between the views of transit users and motorists. “The transit riders say a vehicle levy is the way to go – if you drive a car you should pay for the privilege of using our roads,” he said. “And the drivers say no, raise the transit fares. They should pay more for the services they get. “So we’re not going to find an easy solution to this because everybody wants somebody else to pay for it.”

Silencing critics
I
t should go without saying that abusive behaviour will not be tolerated – whether in our homes, at places of business or, yes, towards elected and appointed representatives. Yet it’s been more than a week, and we’re still trying to understand what message White Rock’s civic leaders were trying to convey when they spent a great deal of time at their governance and legislation committee talking about “abusive” residents. It was like a repeat of Mayor Wayne Baldwin’s speech of last spring – in which the mayor claimed elected officials were being threatened and harassed – yet this latest discussion was delivered to a mostly empty council chamber and included side discussions about quantity of correspondence. Last year’s prepared statement – voters might remember – followed an earlier behind-closeddoors decision to abandon civic waste pickup for multifamily residences and businesses, with officials long avoiding a meaningful public explanation. It was at a public meeting April 10, five months after the in-camera decision, that Baldwin said a “councillor, with a young family, has been… threatened unless he changes his vote,” but only later acknowledged the perceived ‘threat’ was to vote the unnamed councillor out of office. This time around, the facts are no less murky. Coun. Grant Meyer spoke last week of “rumours out there that there are a handful of people who were saying ‘let’s just waste staff time and the city’s time and bog them down with needless emails and FOIs.’” It’s difficult to comprehend anyone would believe such rumours – it defies both logic and motivating factors. However, in what seemed less than coincidental, city manager Dan Bottrill had on-hand evidence that seemed to back Meyer’s rumours – presenting two large binders filled with double-sided emails from a single resident in one year. So, yes, we’ll concede that city representatives receive a lot of correspondence; and yes, some of it is likely abusive. But is this reason enough to further restrict public involvement at city hall and change the Council and Committee Procedure Bylaw, as proposed by council members? In all seriousness, city officials are welcome to poll other sectors – coffee baristas, peace officers, nurses, reporters, teachers/students, receptionists and most front-line employees – to see how they deal with “venomous” (to quote Meyer) comments. Suffice it to say that such behaviour will not be tolerated. Anywhere. Full stop. But to further restrict legitimate public comment, and delay response to inquiries, opens themselves up to accusations of abuse of power.

Surrey, notably for the building of a new high school in Clayton (construction began last month), there are many more projects that need funding. The school district’s current capital plan has four new schools as its top four priorities. It would like construction of the four to begin in 2018. Two are elementary schools in Clayton, and two are in Grandview Heights in South Surrey – a secondary and an elementary. The district has many more priorities, including additions to existing schools, replacement of older schools and seismic upgrades. Surrey schools have more than 70,000 students and many of its schools are more than 50 years old. The provincial government has to prioritize calls for new schools across the province. However, other than Surrey, few communities are growing dramatically. There is growth in some areas of Langley and Abbotsford which may require new schools, but in most other school districts, enrolment continues to drop. The province is right to try to get school districts to utilize schools more fully and shoot for 95 per cent capacity. Schools that are more than half-empty may be best used for other purposes, such as community centres, homeless shelters or potential development. In Surrey’s case, the school district desperately needs more capital funds for schools, so that it can at least temporarily retire the more than 300 portable classrooms that are currently in use. A commitment to more capital funding in Surrey by the provincial government is long overdue. Frank Bucholtz writes Wednesdays for Peace Arch News.

A growing Getting to root concern for city of the problem Editor: Re: Opposition MLAs target Surrey schools, Jan. 29. I don’t believe you can have an honest discussion about overcrowded Surrey schools without including the role of the City of Surrey and Mayor Linda Hepner, but that is exactly what Surrey NDP MLAs Harry Bains and Sue Hammell have done. The city continues to approve rampant development knowing the services for these new occupants are not in place. Under Surrey First, the mandate has been growth at any cost – so when they approve hundreds of new townhouse units knowing there is no school to accommodate those children they are every bit as responsible for the problem. Unfortunately, Bains and Hammell use this opportunity to point the finger at Victoria, when the problem is right here at home. Steven Feldman, Surrey
Editor: Re: Authority rejects extension for city, Jan. 29. It has been reported that Fraser Health rejected the city’s request to extend the water-disinfection deadline beyond June 30. Why? Is it because the health authority didn’t get its way due to the overwhelming response that council and the residents gave in regard to do more study on the issue of using
chloramine and/or chlorine? If the urgency to add more chemicals – chloramine and/or chlorine – to the water system is due to the 2010 E. coli scare, then why has it taken six years to implement a disinfectant? Why didn’t the Fraser Health Authority immediately require White Rock to have a disinfectant by 2011? It seems coincidental that suddenly the city has to add these chemicals to our water system once they took over the utility from Epcor, six years after the E. coli scare. The problem with today’s society is that they mask the problem instead of getting to the root of it.
You see ads on TV that promote a pill to help you with some type of medical symptom, yet it has side effects which could damage organs, and/or cause death, but the risk is yours to take. Is that what we are doing to our water? Masking the problem by adding more chemicals will create more health issues for humans as well as what it will do to our environment. Do we want to take that risk? Let’s not and get to the root by coming up with a better solution to this. Let’s not do a knee-jerk reaction by masking the problem, but get to the root of it with a proper solution. Robert Barnes, White Rock

Financial prudence Editor: Re: Surrey property tax bills on rise, Jan. 29. Within a month of the last municipal election, Surrey’s mayor announced a $100 annual levy on all taxpayers because she didn’t realize before her election that sports, culture and recreational facilities in the region actually needed funds to operate. Now comes word that this council is abandoning its commitment in the five-year financial plan to increase property taxes in 2016 by 2.9 per cent, instead increasing them by 3.9 per cent. And, as usual, they provide excuses why this is necessary. At the same time, they announce proposed increase in the city’s capital expenditures, notably arenas, ice rinks, libraries and museums. Of course, nowhere is there even a hint of any reduction in expenditures. Where have these people been the last year or so? We are in an economic downturn, likely leading to another recession and possibly worse. But this band continues on their merry way of spending our hardarned money with abandonment. In tough economic times, fiscally responsible people cut back and control expenses. Not Surrey city council of course. After all, it’s our money they are throwing around. Cannot some of the capital projects identified wait awhile until the economy improves? That would be the prudent thing to do, but this bunch doesn’t know the meaning of the word. Its time for the citizens of Surrey to demand a stop to this out-ofcontrol budgeting. We will not forget this recklessness come the next municipal election – when once again these politicians will try and buy us off with our own money. Don Campbell, Surrey

White Rock council members – meeting as legislation committee – complain of ‘abusive, venomous’ correspondence.
Moving past uncivil behaviour Editor: Re: City of White Rock targets ‘abusive’ residents, Jan. 27. I read with alarm, but not surprise, the proposed changes to the Council and Committee Procedure Bylaw by selected members of White Rock city council. Alarm because anytime a governmental body proposes restricting freedom of speech we should all be concerned; and the lack of surprise coming from expecting this kind of behaviour from certain members of this council. Here’s the thing; as citizens of Canada we have a right and responsibility to make our views known on matters that impact our community and our lives. The sad part here is that this seems to be utterly lost on some council members and city staff. Clearly several need to be reminded that they are appointed or hired to serve the citizens of this city, not the other way around. Are there people in White Rock who communicate towards the council and staff abrasively, or with a perceived lack of respect? Certainly. It is this freedom that enables citizens to exchange views and information, to protest against injustice, to influence the public discourse, and to criticize the actions of the government. Restrictions on free speech cause harm to democratic life and stand in contradiction to the fundamental principles of democracy – that government should impose no more than the necessary minimum of restrictions on individuals, especially regarding their basic rights of freedom of speech. Or to put it more directly: Dear White Rock council, if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen… Steven Hughes, White Rock Q I read with interest the news story concerning “abusive” comments being directed towards White Rock city council by members of the loyal opposition who, I would guess, think they know more about running the city than the current council does! I have only lived in this area for five months, so for now I really cannot comment on the pros and cons concerning local politics, not as of yet. But my experiences attending council meetings in Burnaby allows me testify to the fact that there is always a group of irate citizens out there who like to think they should have a ‘direct’ say in how the city should be run.
I get that and I understand the frustrations we all have with our governments in general. I grumble to my poor suffering wife about this and that and who and what – because we pay the bills via taxes. But that’s all I can do because I’m not an expert in basic fundamentals of how a city runs. And neither are the naysayers. I can see what’s happening to South Surrey-White Rock; all of us can. A lot of it is not pretty or not all that well considered or executed – the removal of the plant life on the hill seemed to be a glaring example. People should be annoyed and rightly so. The question begs to be asked of the naysayers: just what makes you an expert on all matters large and small on any subject? What gives you the right to hog more time to comment when others are speaking? You oppose something? Then by all means do so. But try to remember you’re living in a democracy, and the people you are badgering were ‘elected’ to run the city – you were not. It’s called civil discourse, look it up and learn something. The fact of the matter is that so long as you keep yelling, no one will listen. In the end, all you’re doing is yelling, and that rarely endears your elected officials’ ears to your cause. You become an annoying noise, just like the train horn blasts. People hear it but tune it out when they hear it day after day. Mark Tyson, Surrey Q An open letter to White Rock council. I advise all of you to take notes from the following links before pursuing a muzzle bylaw on the citizens: • http://ualawccsprod.srv.ualberta.ca/centres/ccs/issues/ freedomofexpressionbackground.php • http://www.law.utoronto.ca/utfl_file/count/documents/ Roach/Chapter%2010%20Roach%20Schneiderman.pdf • http://publications.gc.ca/Collection-R/LoPBdP/ CIR/8416-e.htm There is an abundance of links I could include, but let’s just leave them to the above. I double-dare you to call in the RCMP the next time I cry out, “Shame!” or laugh out loud in the council chambers! At the very least, confer with your legal advisors before you consider doing so.

Proceeds to benefit crime prevention
Forfeiture sought for items Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Seized cash, cars, cellphones and iPads are among dozens of items being sought for forfeiture. Notices issued Friday (Jan. 29) by the Civil Forfeiture Office explain that the items were seized because there was evidence that they had been obtained by and/ or used in the commission of an offence or offences. The proceedings, however, are not reliant on criminal charges or convictions; they may be commenced within 10 years of the alleged unlawful activity. According to the notices, the incidents occurred throughout Surrey between Sept. 21, 2012 and Nov. 1, 2015. The most items from one seizure were collected around 8:30 p.m. Aug. 13, 2013 in South Surrey, during an incident at the Douglas (Peace Arch) border crossing. The list includes seven 16GB iPads, three 32GB iPad Minis, Beats Studio headphones, a Foodsaver 2200 and six Samsung galaxy S4 cellphones. On Aug. 31, 2015, in connection with possession for the purpose of trafficking investigations, Surrey police seized a 2000 Toyota Corolla from near 18 Avenue and 156 Street, followed by a 2003 Saturn Vue, $579.25 cash and two

Cash and a BlackBerry cellphone were seized April 18, 2015 near King George Boulevard and 164 Street, also in connection with a possession for the purpose of trafficking investigation. Further details of the specific incidents were not provided. If the notices are not disputed – there is a 60-day window to do so – the property will be forfeited to the government for disposal. Depending on the items, they may be disposed of by auction, or, for items that cannot be legally sold, sent for salvage. Proceeds are used to administer the program – which was launched in July 2011 – with
excess funds benefiting crimeprevention programs across B.C. To date, those funds have totalled more than $20 million; grant recipients for 2015-2016 are to be announced in the coming months. If a forfeiture is disputed – approximately 17 per cent of such files are, according to the CFO – the director of civil forfeiture has 30 days to either withdraw from the proceedings or seek forfeiture through the B.C. Supreme Court. Since July 2011 – when the administrative forfeiture program was initiated – the Civil Forfeiture Office has commenced more than 2,675 such applications.

Whistleblower guidelines sent to city staff nine months ago
Policy progress ‘disappointing’ Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
A White Rock city councillor is disappointed that no progress has been made towards developing a ‘whistleblower policy’ for the city nine months after staff were directed to do so by council. Coun. Helen Fathers said at last week’s governance and legislation committee meeting that she “had hoped to see the policy,” which was the subject of a unanimous vote, tabled by Fathers at the April 27 council meeting. The purpose of the policy is to “protect staff and members of council” from retribution should they report any conduct that is illegal, immoral or harmful.

“I was really disappointed to see that it hadn’t been worked on,” Fathers said, noting she understood the heavy workload of staff. “I think everything has to be put into a time and place.” City manager Dan Bottrill told the committee the policy had not been made a priority by staff. “The reason why you don’t see (the policy) today is because of the priorities with regards to what is being done and what is coming forward,” Bottrill said. “And I take responsibility for the fact that it isn’t in front of you yet.” Coun. Grant Meyer echoed Bottrill’s comments that creating the policy was not a council priority.

“I’m not per se against this, I just think we have a long list of priorities,” Meyer said, making note of how busy staff are. “I think we have to stick with our priorities.” Fathers reiterated how long it had been since the motion was carried, noting there was “a bit of a process question” relating to the policy. “I could rattle off the last three motions that have been moved that don’t fit in to our corporate priorities,” Fathers said. “So someone is picking and choosing what goes in, and I’m OK with that, but I don’t want to have lost sight of the fact that this hasn’t been done, and all of us supported it.”

social-housing czar, deputy premier Rich Coleman. Coleman pioneered this “housing firstâ€? experiment in 2007, buying up 13 centuryold “single-room occupancyâ€? hotels in Vancouver’s notorious Downtown Eastside. These crumbling bedbug habitats were bought and renovated for a staggering $143 million, plus a 15-year maintenance commitment and a cop assigned to each one in an effort to contain the chaos inside. Coleman brags endlessly about the great job he has done, but how is that actually working? A new study by Simon Fraser University researchers provides a more objective assessment. Tracking 433 mentally ill homeless adults over 10 years, the study found the concentration of low-rent accommodation, food handouts, street outreach and medical supports resulted in “significant personal decline rather than recovery, as evidenced by their involvement in the criminal justice system, large increases in acute care and prolonged homelessness.â€? The rate of people arriving in this service-intensive hellhole has tripled in the last 10 years, a finding similar to studies of concentrated services in New York, Sao Paulo and Osaka. It’s a cautionary tale for other urban communities where this failed containment model is proposed. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.caÂ

Chamber of commerce announces annual accolades
Business awards honour Peninsula’s best Alex Browne Staff Reporter
South Surrey and White Rock Chamber of Commerce this week honoured outstanding contributions to the Peninsula business community. The chamber’s 17th annual Business Excellence Awards – recognizing achievements in 2015 – was held Thursday, at Hazelmere Golf and Tennis Club. In a well-attended buffet-style event (sold out, at some 185 seats) individuals and businesses were singled out for the top spot in seven nomination categories. Mark Ankenman, president of Ankenman Associates Architects Inc., was named Business Person of the Year in the selfowned category, while Ranj Sehdev, general manager of the South Surrey Staples, got the nod in the corporate category. Ankenman, who has more than 35 years experience as an architect and business person on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, is also active in the community on a number of local boards and committees. Sehdev, who immigrated to Canada with his family in 2005, has been a member of
the South Surrey business community for more than eight years, with a strong record of supporting businesses, schools and charities. He became a Canadian citizen last year. Business of the Year laurels went to Hallmark Carpets (93) Ltd. (in the 1-7 employee category); José and Co. Custom Jewellers (in the 8-14 employee category) and Pacifica Retirement Residence (15-plus employees). Hallmark, owned by Josie Tutte and Tim Atkinson, has been a White Rock business since 1979, building a reputation for a wide selection of competitively priced floorcovering options, as well as frequently teaming on projects with charitable organizations, non-profit groups and the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation. José and Co., led by president José Latchinian, has been part of the Semiahmoo Peninsula scene since 1992, building on experience gained in jewelry services first established in Toronto in 1973, and providing iconic pieces for individuals, families and corporate clients. Pacifica Retirement Residence, for which
Rob Gillis is senior general manager, offers an all-inclusive, many amenity, luxury hotel-style residence for retirees, including rentals and condo ownership, and also supports many local projects including fundraising for the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation’s ER drive. Semiahmoo House Society was chosen as best non-profit, while Best New Business of the Year went to Cultivé Frozen Yogurt. Semiahmoo House Society, overseen by executive director Doug Tennant, uses a person-centred philosophy to address the special care and needs of individuals in the community who face challenges of numerous kinds; and emphasizing the creation of opportunities to support their goals and aspirations and help them in their journeys of experience and discovery. Tennant used his moment at the mic to thank the business representatives and the community at large for being so welcoming to Semiahmoo House clients and their families. He noted that support provided is reciprocated, and that Semiahmoo House is proud to support area businesses and their staff.
Cultivé, owned by Carolina Perezalonso, is a self-service operation providing a range of healthy, locally made, gluten-free frozen yogurts – including flavours using real fruit purees – minus gelatin, artificial sweetners and food colouring, as well as dairy-free/ vegan sorbet options. Peace Arch News sponsored several of the awards, with Mardon Insurance Brokers sponsoring Business Person of the Year (self-owned) and Remax Colonial Pacific Realty sponsoring Business Person of the Year (corporate). Darrell Jones, president of the Overwaitea Food Group, was guest speaker at the event, for which Global TV meteorologist Mark Madryga was master of ceremonies, and chamber president Jim Purcell provided opening remarks. Guests included Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg, Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner, White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin and councillors from both cities. Also on hand were the White Rock Youth Ambassadors, as welcomers, and they were joined by Canucks anthem-singer Mark Donnelly to lead the crowd in O Canada.

DIABETES COACH STUDY Looking for Coaches
This project is a partnership between the University of Victoria and Fraser Health Diabetes Health Centres. We are seeking men and women who have experience with type 2 diabetes either themselves or with family members to provide telephone support as a Coach to another person who is currently having difficulty managing their diabetes.
South Surrey’s Brenda Petrunia (right) became Kendra’s Big Sister 10 years ago, and the friendship remains strong.
We will involve you in a 3-day training session and then pair you with a study participant. Each week, for a period of 6 months the Diabetes Coach is expected to spend 30 minutes speaking to a participant over the telephone. We will provide you with ongoing support. If you are interested in becoming a Diabetes Coach please contact the study coordinator, Suzanne at (604) 940 8973.

A friendship that grew from a grieving mother’s desire to funnel her love for her son to another child who needed it is hoped to encourage more women to sign on with Big Sisters of BC Lower Mainland. When Brenda Petrunia – a South Surrey resident who lost her 17-year-old son in a car crash – volunteered a decade ago, she was matched with a nine-yearold girl who needed a friend. At the time, Kendra (last name withheld), in addition to strug-
gling with no longer having her stepfather in her life, was dealing with the challenges of growing up in a low-income household, and suffered from social anxiety. Ten years later, Petrunia is still “there whenever I need someone to talk to,” Kendra says, in a news release issued last month by Big Sisters. Their time together is spent cooking, baking and catching up, and Kendra, now 19, credits Petrunia’s patience and kindness over the years to helping with her
social anxiety. It’s hoped the story will inspire other women to sign on to the program. According to the agency, there are currently 15 girls, aged seven to 17 years, waiting for a Big Sister in Surrey. Last year in Surrey, Big Sisters matched 85 girls with mentors. Across the Lower Mainland, 767 matches were made. To get involved or for more information, email info@bigsisters.bc.ca, call 604-873-4525, ext. 300 or www.bigsisters.bc.ca

Record donation Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary Society has notched a record gift, with the recent presentation of a cheque for $1.5 million towards expansion of the health centre’s emergency department. “This is their largest gift ever… and we can’t thank them enough for their incredible generosity and dedication to Peace Arch Hospital and its patients,” Stephanie Beck, executive director of the Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation, said in a news release. Two-thirds of the funds – presented at the society’s annual Christmas tea – will benefit the new triage area, while the remaining $500,000 will support two pediatric treatment rooms, one mental health treatment room and one alcove, all of which will be named in honour of the auxiliary, which boasts more than 400 members. Officials with the foundation, auxiliary, provincial government and Fraser Health announced last

Check Point Plumbing & Heating
checkpointplumbing.com
We are entering the season of increased natural gas usage. Pool Boilers: Need to have ongoing maintenance. Common fault is shutting down at end of season without a checkup, then having no startup in the spring. When replacing boiler BTU for BTU, special attention must be given for intake combustion air and exhaust. Newer boilers often require more intake air than old, BTU for BTU.

Give your furnace or fireplace some TLC!
• Furnace • Water Heater Beth, Dave, Rich & Kent
Gas barbecues with gas hookup on patio’s,& decks, are becoming quite common, as are Tiki lites, and fire pits. Our technicians will ensure there are enough BTU’s of gas at your residence to accommodate BBQ’s, etc. Permits: Gas permits are required for just about any gas installation, alterations, etc. This applies to boilers, furnaces, water heaters, etc. It is a small price to pay for peace of mind when you get a licensed gas fitter to do the work. A quick call to BC Safety will inform you if the gas fitter is licensed, & don’t hesitate to ask for their permit/licence. We will notify BC Safety when work is completed & they will have an inspector over to ensure a safe, quality job. Over the summer is a good time to replace your old outside hose faucets with ¼ turn non-freeze style, no more frozen hose bibbs. Fall is a good time to have one of our licensed gas fitters check over your boiler, furnace and fireplace for the heating season. If you feel you may need to update your furnace, we can supply and install units with 95, 96 & 97 percent efficiency. Fortis BC ususally have cash rebate incentives for updating. They also will reimburse some amount for certain high efficiency water heaters. Our technicians and staff can help you with this, we will even prepare your rebate paperwork. Don’t forget to check with the Better Business Bureau for any contractor, plumber, etc. Check Point is a proud member/supporter of the BBB.

White Rock Players
whiterockplayers.ca
The White Rock Players’ Club is now in its 71st season, and one of the few community theatres to own and operate its own building and produce five shows every season including comedies, thrillers, dramas, musicals, and the popular Christmas Pantomime, a local tradition since 1954. This season’s third production is the most performed French play throughout the world, Marc Camoletti’s classic farce, Boeing Boeing. Fred Par tridge
It’s the Swinging Sixties in Paris and Bernard is living his dream. He’s got a successful career, a fantastic flat, and he’s engaged to three gorgeous flight stewardesses. The best part is that they don’t know about each other. They each fly in and fly out without ever being in Paris at the same time. Like Bernard says, “All you need is a timetable.” But when Boeing introduces a new, faster jet, Bernard’s life gets hysterically thrown off course. Will Bernard’s wry maid, Berthe and his affable friend Robert help navigate the turbulence or will his ordered life come crashing down? Directed by Ryan Mooney, Boeing Boeing features Alexander Morris, Stefanie Colliar, Kirstin Shale, Robert Feher, Tegan Verheul, and Robyn Bradley as Berthe. “This cast is incredibly talented as well as just flat-out hilarious,” says the show’s producer, Josh Fuller.” I cannot wait to see them bring such a clever script to life on the WRCP stage.” With a gorgeous French apartment designed by Andrea Orlund, lighting design by Guy Paterson, and beautiful, bright period costumes that show a bit more leg made and designed by Stella Gardner, Boeing Boeing is sure to be a treat for the eyes that’ll send audiences soaring home on a cloud of laughter. For ticket information, visit www.whiterockplayers.ca or call 604-536-7535.

Budget Blinds
IT’S OUR BIGGEST SALE OF THE YEAR
budgetblinds.com
SAVE ON STYLISH LOOKS FOR EVERY ROOM
If you want to get an idea of the range of products Budget Blinds’ consultants can provide to add new life and vibrancy to your home decor – from custom shutters, blinds and draperies to a wide variety of matching bedding and accents – there are two local showroom locations you can visit. The smaller, but closer to home, is at unit #7, 2320 King George Blvd. This family run franchise, which serves South Surrey, White Rock and the Delta areas, has its main hub showroom, offices and warehouse in the Tilbury industrial Park in Delta (Unit #125-7391 Vantage Way). Tara Anderson, who co-owns the franchise with her husband David, says you truly see and feel the full David and Tara benefit of Budget Blinds’ personalized, one-stop Anderson service once you make an appointment for an in-home consultation. “We come to you – and that’s from the initial consultation right through installation,” she says. “It’s the simplicity, ease and comfort of not having to leave your own home,” she adds. “With other stores it’s just a cashier – you pay, you walk out with the product, end of story. With us, you don’t have to worry about something being the wrong size or measurements, we have the best warranties in the business, you pick what you want and get what you ask for.” Working with customers’ in their own homes or businesses also means it’s easier for Budget Blinds’ consultants to help them find just the look they want – seeing the actual space and existing decor, there’s no guesswork or miscommunication. “Everything is custom-made and installed,” Tara says. “It’s their own vision we are trying to help them achieve.” Budget Blinds has been offering their services in this area for more than 8 years – and the business is consistently growing, said Tara. “We’ve now added a full-time office manager, another Style Consultant and a part-time installer – and we’re excited to be heading into our busiest season.” Extra help is welcome and appreciated she says, as she and David manage the needs of their growing business along with raising four daughters all under the age of 10. “Life is always a balancing act for us- never boring for sure”- said Tara. Being family people themselves makes them more aware of the importance of community and exceptional customer service, she says. “We try to involve the whole family (including our extended family-our staff) in what we do wherever possible, and we’re always interested in giving back through special events and sponsorships and in particular teaching our kids the value of hard work.”

It’s called Impressions of Abstract City, but MoldovanCanadian artist Victoria Toderas says her show of watercolours, opening Thursday at 7 p.m. in the Turnbull Gallery, South Surrey Arts and Recreation Centre, is divided “about 50-50” between classical representational work and her abstract, strongly gestural impressions of urban landscapes. Owner of Kalora Studio in Burnaby, Toderas, who was born and raised in Moldova and came to Canada eight years ago, is a keen international traveller wellversed in both traditional and abstract techniques. Toderas said she is inspired by both classical and modern urban architecture and the quality Alex Browne of life of city dwellers around the world, in works that embrace both traditional and contemporary approaches to the subject. “Some people feel a connection with the older, classical cities, while some like an abstract approach that gives more space for the imagination,” she said. Before establishing her studio, she has had shows in her native country, Italy, Russia and in Canada and has works in private collections both here and in Europe. The opening features music by singer Gabriella Arce and guitarist Sergey Maryshev. The show continues until Mar. 4 at the gallery, located at 14601 20 Ave.

Sunshine at night There’s something special about open-mic evenings – not only are you likely to hear a variety of music that most venue programmers can’t present, but you might just catch an early performance by a rising star, or a surprise appearance by an established performer trying some new material. Semiahmoo Peninsula open-mic king Dennis Peterson – a man with a good eye for White Rock and South Surrey’s growing pool of experienced and developing talents – is offering a regular show, 6-9 p.m. most Saturdays at The Good Day Sunshine Cafe, 100-2950 King George Blvd. With dinner, drinks and dessert also on the menu, it’s a good venue to settle in for an evening of unexpected musical treats.
White Rock Trad Jazz While there’s no jazz at the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240 this weekend (Feb. 7); White Rock Traditional Jazz Society’s regular 2 to 5 p.m. session of live Dixieland/Swing for listening and dancing returns in time for Valentine’s Day at the legion hall (2643 128 St.).

The attraction for Feb. 14’s Valentine’s Day Jazz Party will be cornetist and (master of the mutes) Leigh Smith and his Maple Leaf Jazz Band playing three sets of authentic New Orleans style. Upcoming bands on the schedule will be the Crescent City Shakers (Feb. 21) and the Bonnie Northgraves Jazz Band (Feb. 28). Admission (19 and up) is $10 for WRTJS and Legion members, $12 for everybody else). For more information on upcoming bands visit www.whiterocktradjazz.com or call 604-560-9215.
Julio Moreno A show of some 26 acrylic paintings, pastels and charcoal drawings, which runs to Feb. 29 at Semiahmoo Library, is the first for a Peruvian-Canadian artist, Julio Moreno, 71. Moreno, who emigrated to Canada some 45 years ago, first began creating art some six years ago after retiring from a career in electrical engineering and security work. Influenced by the simplified Yukon landscapes of Ted Harrison and the colourful contemporary primitivism of Michael Tickner, Moreno concentrates on stylized studies of people from his home-
land, with semi-abstract backgrounds in which he emphasizes a palette of warm, vibrant and optimistic colours. Semiahmoo Library is located at 1815 152 St. (for opening hours, call 604-592-6900).
Big City Soul Valentine’s Day is coming and Blue Frog Studios is celebrating with soul – Big City Soul, to be exact. The classic and contemporary R&B and soul band hits the stage of the intimate White Rock venue on Saturday, Feb. 13 at 8 p.m. for a hi-top table, standing-room only and dancing foremost show. Built around the dynamic performance of vocalists Terry Raible and Connie Ballendine, Big City Soul is supported by one of the hottest horn sections on the West Coast – Kevin Lee on trumpet (well-known for his work with Semiahmoo Secondary musicians as well as a respected sideman and recording artist), Terry Linburg on tenor sax and Ken Abel on baritone. Filling out the big sound is smooth, tasteful guitar work by Michael Toth, the keyboard skills of Steve Ranta, the bass of the famed Johan Worst and the funky
beats of drummer Steve Webb. The venue is located at 1328 Johnston Rd.; tickets ($37.50) are available at 604-542-3055 or through www.bluefrogstudios.ca
Enchanted April Actors well-known on the Semiahmoo Peninsula are featured in Langley Players’ Enchanted April, which runs until Feb. 20 at Langley Playhouse, 4307 200 St. Dann Wilhelm, Sheila Greentree and White Rock actress Irene Rowe are featured in the play, which, director Marko Hohlbein promises, will “take you away from the rain and gloom of our west coast winter to the sunshine and promise of an Italian villa.” Based on the 1920s novel by Elizabeth von Arnim, Enchanted April traces the story of a woman who seeks to escape an “empty marriage and the dreary drudgery of day-today life,” by travelling to the Italian Riviera. Enchanted April runs Thursdays to Sundays at the Langley Playhouse, 4307 200 St. Show times are 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. For reservations, visit http://www. langleyplayers.com/reservations.
Take a step into ‘The Wild’ with the latest joint presentation of Semiahmoo Arts and the City of White Rock at White Rock Community Centre, 15154 Russell Ave. (Miramar building). The group show – an attempt to capture something of the character, temperament, nature and relationships of animals in a natural setting – is scheduled to run until Feb. 26. Participating artists are Adele Maskwa-Iskwew Arseneau, Audrey Bakewell, Jordan Blackstone, Melissa Burgher, Margaret R. Burns, Aaron Connnell, Keith Franks, Billy Hebb, Gail Judd, Marilyn Kelm.

Nearly Neil After more than 20 years of paying tribute to legendary balladeer Neil Diamond, Bobby Bruce is as ‘Nearly Neil’ as any performer can get. Bruce bring his Nearly Neil show to the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240 (2643 128 St.) Saturday, Feb. 20 at 8 p.m. (cocktails at 7 p.m.) and those who want to catch the show should buy tickets early – his last show at Branch 240 sold out. A native of Port Coquitlam, Bruce first perfected his take on Diamond’s style and mannerisms in 1994, and hasn’t looked back. Highlights of his career include a 10-month tour of the U.S. with the Las Vegas-based Legends in Concert, two tours of Australia with Legends of Rock and performing at the Toronto Skydome, selling out Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom, and playing several luxury cruises of the South Pacific. Tickets ($20) are available at the Branch 240 canteen.
Led Zepagain When Jimmy Page himself says the band is “as close as you’ll ever get to the real deal,” you know that Led Zepagain is doing right by the classic rock of the legendary Led Zeppelin. The tribute band presents it’s “ultimate Led Zeppelin experience” Wednesday, Feb. 24 at 9:15 p.m. at Blue Frog Studios. David ‘Swan’ Montgomery channels lead singer Robert Plant, while Jimmy Sakurai captures the guitar excitement of Page, Derek Smith matches the ferocity of drummer John Bonham and Jim Wooten covers the multi-instrument brilliance of John Paul Jones.

ON THE SEMIAHMOO PENINSULA
Chocolate and your skin (health) by Dr. Trevor Erikson
A
hhh.. Chocolate. Sweet intoxicating richness – the inspiration of romantics for centuries. Certainly you gave the perfect Valentines Day gift, for which I am sure many a happy face was created. So good are chocolate’s health benefits, for now modern science is even proving them to be true! Before we proceed, let’s discuss the kind of chocolate that is good for you, as it is certainly not the average overlyprocessed stuff found in most candy aisles. Healthy chocolate is at least 60 to 70% dark chocolate. Most candy bars do not even contain much real chocolate at all, being mostly filled with refined sugars and poor quality fats, so it pays to read the label. It is also good to seek out chocolate that is both organic, thus avoiding harmful chemicals, as well as fairtrade so as to guarantee that the farmers are getting paid well for their efforts. Dark chocolate is a very nutrient dense food, containing many important vitamins and minerals such as vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C, E, pantothenic acid, magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, potassium and manganese. It is composed of about 20% protein and upwards of 50% good quality fat. Chocolate is also rich in powerful antioxidants, called flavanols, which may help improve blood circulation. The list of health benefits from chocolate includes: better heart health, lower blood pressure, reduced risk of stroke, improved cholesterol profiles, and a smarter brain. In regards to skin health, studies have shown that regular
chocolate consumption: softens the skin, protects the skin against the damaging effects of the sun, improves microcirculation to the deeper layers of the skin, rehydrates the skin, and improves the overall cosmetic appearance of the skin – thus giving it a nice radiant look. But again, these benefits come best from good quality dark chocolate, not those overly-sugared candy bars. In the creams that I personally hand-make for patients, I will often use cocoa butter, usually combining it with shea butter. These two saturated plant-based fats create a fantastic barrier that helps lock moisture into the skin, while also offering nourishment. This means that cocoa based creams can help alleviate and prevent the dryness seen in many skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. In contrast, petroleum based products – such as vaseline – offer no nourishment whatsoever, and in fact may occlude the skin too much so that it cannot breathe properly. So how much chocolate does one need to eat in order to obtain the healthy benefits? Research indicates that about 50 grams per week of good quality 70% dark chocolate is enough, which is about half of a standard sized bar like Green and Blacks, or Camino (both companies use fair trade and organic chocolate). Basically, chocolate is best used as a small enjoyable supplement alongside a properly balanced diet containing a wide variety of fresh colourful vegetables, whole grains and quality proteins.

The Vancouver Giants snapped out of a slump last weekend, posting two impressive victories to gain a bit of ground in the Western Hockey League’s (WHL) playoff race. The Giants, who had lost six of their previous seven games following a run of 11-5-2 (win-loss-overtime loss), edged the Kamloops Blazers 4-3 in overtime Friday night in Kamloops, then doubled the league-leading Lethbridge Hurricanes 4-2 Saturday night in the Pacific Coliseum. Vancouver is now six points back of the Spokane Chiefs in a race for a wild-card playoff position in the Western Conference. The Giants took the lead three times in regulation time against the Kamloops Blazers, but each time their B.C. Division opponents tied the game. Vancouver opened the scoring with a goal from Ben Thomas nine minutes into the game, with the Blazers responding three minutes later to tie the score. Chase Lang tallied at the 17-minute mark of the second period by deflecting a point shot from Brennan Menell, but the lead lasted just 95

In overtime, neither team could score in the five-minute, three-onthree session until Ty Ronning scored on a pass from Lang with just two seconds remaining. Ryan Kubic picked up the win in the Vancouver goal, stopping 36 of 39 shots. The Giants fired 44 pucks at Kamloops netminder Connor Ingram. On home ice Saturday night, the Hurricanes had built a 2-0 lead 15 minutes into the second period, but it was all Giants after that. Cox scored a powerplay goal to get the home team on the scoreboard two minutes after Lethbridge’s second tally, then Alec Baer tied the game two minutes later. In the third, Vancouver outshot Lethbridge 15-5, and got a winning goal by Lang at the 10-minute mark. Menell added an insurance goal into an empty net with 35 seconds to play.

Our loving husband and father, Ary (Arij) Sala, passed away peacefully in his home at Fanny Bay, BC on January 27, 2016 at the age of 79. Ary was predeceased by his 1st wife, Maria Borsboom, in 1982. He is survived by his wife, Charlette, who gave him loving care during his battle with esophageal cancer; his sister, Jeanne; his eight children, Orlean Muirhead, Yra Binstead, Andrei Sala, Gabriella Burnham, Alexander Sala, Eldon Sala, Patricia Cross, and Monty Sala and their spouses; his three step-children, Steve Clarke, Shannon Lawrence, and Cathy Runquist and their spouses and forty-six delightful grandchildren. Ary was born on May 13, 1936 to Adrianus Sala and Hilletje van den Akker in Rotterdam, Netherlands. He always had an adventurous spirit and in 1971, he and Maria with their three eldest children immigrated to Canada and settled in Calgary, AB. There they had their five other children. Ary loved to dream and some dreams that were realized were traveling throughout the USA in a motorhome and organizing his family into a singing group to perform at retirement centres. When Maria died from cancer in 1982, Ary was left to care for their eight children who were between the ages of 2-13. Ary sacrificed much throughout his life to ensure that his children received his love and devotion. His profession was as a Real Estate Agent and he practiced for many years in Calgary and White Rock. When his children were mostly raised and pursuing their own lives, Ary met Charlette Clarke and they married in 1997. They eventually moved to their waterfront property in Fanny Bay, BC. which he loved and called “Paradise”. Ary loved singing, reading, automobiles, motorhomes, deliberating politics and engaging in family fun. He developed a passion for writing in his later years and has published many editorials locally and nationally. Ary’s legacy is his firm faith in God and his commitment to his family. A funeral service will be held on Saturday, February 6th, 2016 at 1pm at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Qualicum Beach, BC. He will then be buried at Queen’s Park Cemetery in Calgary, AB.
