City manager said he asked for estimate ‘if that option was pursued’

‘Hump parking’ memo surprises council Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

Though no official plans have been developed for what will become of the Marine Drive hillside, White Rock city staff have been looking into estimated costs to lease the land for a parking lot, to the surprise of some elected officials. In an internal email dated Jan. 29 from director of finance Sandra Kurylo to city

manager Dan Bottrill – released as part of a resident’s Freedom of Information request – the estimated cost of leasing space on the hillside is detailed, based on a 2014 estimate of $3.23 per square foot for land in the Bayview Park area. “The area to be leased for a hump parking lot (Johnston Road to 15066 Marine Dr.) is estimated to be 92,900 sq.-ft.,” Kurylo writes. “The estimated annual lease fee at the above

rate would be $329,000 plus potentially another 3% per year beyond 2017.” Asked Monday if a parking lot on the hillside – often referred to as ‘the hump’ – was being planned, Mayor Wayne Baldwin said, “I don’t think so.” Baldwin said he had no knowledge of the email between staff detailing the potential leasing costs, and said he has not seen any plans for the hillside, nor did he know what

directives were given to Diamond Head Consulting Ltd., the company hired to put together a landscape plan. “Staff is working on it, I’m not sure what the instructions to Diamond Head are,” Baldwin said. Bottrill told Peace Arch News Wednesday that the email from Kurylo was in response to his request for a “ballpark number” of i see page 10

hoshana Litvack has never been afraid of a challenge. Through the years, the 47-year-old Rosemary Heights resident has – often as a birthday gift to herself – barrelled headfirst into all manner of athletic endeavours, including the Grouse Grind and a half-marathon, which she completed with a friend in 2012 despite limited time to train. She’s also never been shy about packing up and moving to a new city, even a new country. Prior to moving to South Surrey in 2011 with her two children, Evan and Lauren, Litvack lived in Steveston, Ottawa, Montreal and Israel. Such undertakings would prove taxing for most people – more so for someone who is legally blind. “When I was younger, I had a bit of a chip on my shoulder, trying very, very hard not to be disabled,” she explained. “So I moved around a lot, and did a lot – just to prove that I could. “My parents gave me tremendous freedom to do those things, and do what I wanted. “Today, I’m a little more cautious – I don’t know if that’s age or life experience or what, who knows?” Litvack suffers from optic atrophy, and progressively lost her eyesight from the time she was sixmonths old until she was two. i see page 4

A challenge of a Surrey park bylaw has failed, but the man who challenged it says the law will be overturned eventually. On Nov. 13, 2013, Christopher Lewis, now 28, was ticketed in South Surrey’s Bakerview Park for being in a park after dark. Just by being there after nightfall, he was in contravention of Surrey bylaw 13480 and was fined $200. Lewis took the city to court over the fine, saying it was in contravention of his Section 7 Constitutional “right to life, liberty and security.” He appeared before Judge Peder Gulbransen in Surrey Provincial Court four times between Aug. 7, 2015 and Jan. 12, 2016. Lewis argued that a park is a truly open and public space, just like a highway or a sidewalk. “As it is presently worded, the bylaw treats peaceful law-abiding citizens as though they were persons committing unlawful acts,” Lewis said. “The law is both arbitrary and over-broad.” Gulbransen said it was the best legal argument that could be made by Lewis – who represented himself at court – however, the judge cited case law as to why the law was not over-broad. In fact, he found in a written ruli see page 10

Society, property owner exchange accusations in wake of coffee-shop essay contest

Bitter taste left as café prize heads east Alex Browne Staff Reporter

The Small Ritual coffee shop – which drew local as well as national media coverage with an essay contest to determine a new owner – is no longer part of the White Rock scene. The winner, Dan Whillans, is a teacher in Fernie. And that’s where he has taken store equipment and fittings presented to him as part of his prize by Small Ritual Coffee Society manager Rydé Harding, and where – he confirmed in an email to Peace Arch News Tuesday – he plans to open his coffee shop. “It’s very exciting,” he wrote. “I heard about the contest in November from my brother’s girlfriend in Ottawa – she had seen it on CBC and figured it fit my vision. I am hoping to create a community space that fosters creativity and learning.” Meanwhile, acrimony continues between Harding and the owner of the coffee shop’s former venue, under the clock tower on Johnston Road. Accusations have been flying in both directions following the departure of the society – along with site property, according to building owner Lisa Raverty – just before the end of last month. Raverty, who now lives in Australia, told PAN she and her property manager were more than willing to strike a deal with the contest winner to lease the space – even though she alleges the society owes her back rent.

She said she had been informed by Harding in January that the society would no longer be paying rent on the property and that no rent would be forthcoming until the new owner took over on May 1. “I felt that six months with no income from this tenancy and no guarantee of an ongoing rental was more than I could contribute to the society,” Raverty said. The society, originally a venture of members of the Southpoint Church, was registered as a non-profit in 2009 with the aim of building community to promote health development and sustainability. Raverty said that while she understands the coffee society is no longer affiliated with the church, that connection had been a factor in her family’s continued support for the business. “The family was very generous with the church and the society over the years when they could not manage rent payments, and contributed to seeing the coffee shop stay open over the years,” Raverty said online after PAN’s March 2 story on the departure of the society from the venue. Harding, however, maintains Raverty and her agent had shown no willingness to negotiate a transition to a new business owner, and she denies that any of the landlord’s property was taken. “Absolutely nothing that belongs to Lisa was ever removed from the building,” she told PAN by email Saturday.

The Small Ritual Coffee Society last fall. In her initial statement to PAN on March 1, Harding had written that “given the sale and uncertainty of the building, the society did not recommend the location under the clock tower as a solid long-term business venture” – although she did not at the time mention the contest winner lives in Fernie, located east of Cranbrook near the Alberta border. Raverty takes issue with the term “uncertainty of the building.” “There is nothing uncertain about the building,” Raverty said, noting that even though the contest had been set up without her knowledge, she would have been happy working with the winner. “We’ve always had a very good relationship with our tenants, some of whom have been with us many years.” Harding, however, maintains the owners “wanted nothing to do with the society nor the contest winner until it became evident that the space might sit empty.”

Raverty told PAN she takes exception to being characterized as the building’s new owner, as she previously owned a 50-percent share prior to acquiring the other half in December. “This building has been owned by the same family since the 1970s,” Raverty wrote. “Rydé knows full well she is dealing with the same landlord.” Raverty said she wonders exactly what Whillans won, since the majority of equipment was actually the property of a leasing company, according to a letter from Harding’s lawyer. And Raverty said she also wonders what happened to the $100 fees collected for each contest entry, which she estimated should amount to around $8,000 – “It didn’t go for rent, that’s for sure.” As of Wednesday, Harding had not responded to a PAN request for information on the funds, however, Whillans said he has no concerns about Harding’s integrity. “Rydé is an incredible honest and caring individual,” he wrote. “There is absolutely nothing illegitimate or unlawful about the contest or the contents (that) I received.” Harding had told PAN by email Monday that she is continuing to assist Whillans with his coffee-shop plans. “I am going to check out his new location over Easter, and we are doing some brainstorming together,” she wrote.

i from page 1 “It’s the degeneration of my optic nerves,” she explained, adding that she has seven-percent vision in her left eye and five per-cent in her right. Litvack has difficulty describing exactly what she is able to see. “It’s hard to explain, because I never think things are blurry, but that’s because it’s all I’ve ever known,” she said. “I know what every picture on my wall is, for example, but I only know that because I know that. If I were closer up, they’d come into focus… I just can’t see the details.” While Litvack considers herself more cautious now, she hasn’t completely lost her adventurous streak. Since the beginning of the year, she has been running at least five kilometres each day, collecting money for the BC Lung Association. In the past, her charity of choice has been the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, but she decided to focus on lung health this time around. “My boyfriend is asthmatic, my ex-husband is asthmatic, his sister died of lung cancer, my daughter has seasonal asthma and my best friend has Wegener’s (granulomatosis), which is an inflation of cells that affects your lungs and airways, among other things,” she explained. “Basically, everyone closest to me is affected.” For each completed run, she

puts one dollar in her collection jar. If she misses one, she adds $5. “If I run with somebody, I add (money) for them, too, or if I run extra, I put extra in for that,” she said, noting Evan, 10, has become one of her running partners. Litvack plans to run each day this year. By last week, she had $117 in the jar after completing 64 days of her challenge. If the idea of 365 consecutive runs seems daunting – sight problems or otherwise – it’s not to Litvack, who needs only to think back to her first half-marathon. “I had no clue what I was getting into. I injured myself on my first training run,” she said. “Building up to 21½ (km) is a lot, it’s a significant number. At the start, I couldn’t run to the corner.” Since then, running has become a major part of her life, just like

roller-blading used to be – one of a handful of sports Litvack has had to retire from, on account of her vision. She doesn’t cycle on her own anymore, and gave up taekwondo when “it just became too dangerous for me.” She also doesn’t go to the gym, finding the lights and the electronic equipment “visually confusing.” “Now, if I want some exercise, I just put my shoes on and I go. All I need is a good playlist.” She also doesn’t do “ball sports,” preferring endeavours that leave her in full control. “I don’t cycle anymore… I don’t like the feeling of being so high off the ground. That’s why I run – I become so comfortable that I can see with my feet. I can feel any difference in the grade or the surface,” she said. “I’m into real hands-on stuff – weightlifting, running, paddle boarding. Things where I’m really, truly in charge.” Considering her running success the first 2½ months of the year, Litvack has boosted her original goal of $500 to $5,000. She already has three donors willing to match her donations. The goal, she said, is not only to raise money, but to be a good role model for her children, and perhaps inspire others. “I’m fortunate to have overcome some serious obstacles. I live a happy, great life… I don’t drive a car and I don’t perform brain surgery, but I can still do a lot.”

Mathew Koyanagi knew the dish he’d prepared for the Vancouver International Wine Festival’s Vintner’s Brunch competition was a good one. But the South Surrey resident never thought his Asian-inspired offering – black rice congee with red wine-braised duck, soy-marinated quail’s egg, black currant gastrique and togarashi crackling – would earn him the ultimate toast last week. “I wanted to create a dish that I was super-proud of,” said Koyanagi, who represented Vancouver-based Railtown Catering in the Feb. 28 event at Canada Place. “On a few levels, I didn’t think I had any chance of winning.” As it turns out, the executive sous chef ’s creation stole the show, earning a unanimous thumbs-up from the quartet of judges who sampled their way through the fare of 15 of Vancouver’s top restaurant and catering chefs before declaring Koyanagi victorious. The 35-year-old said he discovered his passion for catering about 15 years ago, while working at a White Rock restaurant. His fascination with cooking, however, dates back about three decades. Koyanagi can remember choosing television cooking shows over traditional child’s play from a young age. “I remember when I was five and six, when a lot of my friends were watching Sesame Street, I was just fascinated with PBS, Julia Child, Galloping Gourmet… shows like that” he said.

Council misfires with gun show

nce Surrey civic leaders had the B.C. Rod and Gun Show in their sights, it seems there was little political will to support an exhibit planned next month in Cloverdale. And that’s Surrey’s loss, as council’s message – that the show could be rescheduled when there is more time to look at the plan – is clearly being lost amid organizers’ understandable dismay at being denied a permit at the 11th hour. Some 10,000 people attended last year’s show in Cloverdale – without any reported untoward incidents. Event manager Steve Bednash estimates that kind of attendance this year would translate to hundreds of thousands of dollars of spin-off revenue in the community. Given that the event was given the green light by city staff again this year, only to have council nix the permit barely a month before the scheduled date – without even the courtesy of alerting organizers to the fact – makes a repeat of the process seem highly unlikely. In its mishandling of the B.C. Rod and Gun Show, Surrey has demonstrated anew how little civic leaders understand about staging such a major event, including the inevitable host of interrelated timelines and logistics involved. This show – just as it was last year – is clearly and unambiguously aimed at hunting and fishing enthusiasts. While it may be true that there are many who are less than entranced by such enthusiasms, the city has an obligation to play fair with permit applicants who follow the letter of the law. It should not be sending them mixed messages, or claiming time is the issue, not a philosophical opposition. If the city wishes to discourage such applications – or suggest a name change for this particular event that doesn’t include the seemingly troubling word ‘gun’ – it should be up-front with its reservations. Similarly, the time to identify concerns about what kinds of guns will be displayed – and whether adequate security provisions are in place – certainly was available in the past year since the inaugural event. No one would suggest that council is out of line in acting as watchdogs for community safety. But if organizers of the B.C. Rod and Gun Show were remiss in providing required plans and assurances, they should have been pressed for them long before and warned that noncompliance would jeopardize the event. Inconsistency on the part of Surrey’s leaders serves no one’s interests, least of all the taxpayers of the city.

from practical, but darn near impossible, and certainly not very presidential. And we’re told to not worry about it. My concern is that we should worry about it. That the United States is on the verge of something truly awful. That the fear of others is being used solely to gather support, and that even if the person who eventually becomes president didn’t really mean what was espoused, the hate that propagated will never be forgotten. Xenophobia, blame and racism are being stirred up en masse in such a way that even if the Now, we’re frontrunner doesn’t hearing land the coveted position, his coarse from a new generation of words and crazed politician whose theories will divide his country for supporters generations to contend they come. don’t really mean It’s as if they, what they say. the people, have decided their country is a network reality show, and they’re trying to cast as many wacky, Type-A personalities as possible into the lead roles.

The number of black garbage bags has grown over the last few weeks. but yesterday I was totally shocked. A wall of garbage bags was piled all around the edge of this cul-de-sac, three or four bags high. This is not one individual’s garbage, this is a truckful of bags. Here in Surrey, we have excellent garbage collection – streets are

regularly lined with bins and then emptied of them. Nobody living in Surrey needs to find somewhere to throw trash, so my suspicions are that other municipalities with less-than-stellar service have people picking up their trash and delivering it to us. One of these days our trucks and staff are going to have to clean up this mess at taxpayers’ expense.

With this nation facing unprecedented debt – soon to be added to with more borrowing – we are standing on the brink of a recession. With health-care costs skyrocketing, not to mention the unemployment issue, it seems that the future of our children is being locked into an unpayable mortgage.

Off-leash dogs aren’t unique to the beach, writes Adrian Brown, noting they abound in White Rock and Surrey.

Not everywhere is off-leash Editor: Delinquent dogs and dog owners are out of control. There are feces everywhere. As an avid tennis player, I am concerned about the proper and responsible use of White Rock’s and South Surrey’s public tennis courts. One major problem is that many dog owners use the tennis courts as off-leash areas for their dogs to run amok, safely without running into the road. I have seen this many times, and on more than one occasion found dog feces on the court – a health and safety issue, especially when your tennis ball rolls through it. I am also concerned about the way so many dog owners ignore the leashing bylaws throughout White Rock and South Surrey, including on White Rock beach, promenade and beach area west of High Street. According to City of White Rock’s website, the leashed-dog area is limited to the area between High Street and Bay Street. I go to the beach about seven times a week, and each

and every time I see multiple dog owners completely disregarding the bylaw. Delinquent dog owners also treat Duprez Ravine, Crescent Beach, Serpentine Fen Wildlife Area, Mud Bay Park Wildlife Management Area, Elgin Heritage Park, Kwomais Point Park, Semiahmoo Trail and pretty much everywhere else as off-leash areas. If the cities hired additional animal-control officers to hand out fines, this additional revenue would pay the wages and put money in the cities’ coffers to pay for road repair and other services. As a landscape photographer with an interest in local and migrating wildlife, I am greatly concerned about the impact to wildlife, other members of the community and the feces dog owners leave in all my favourite places. I like all animals, including dogs, but wonder why bylaws aren’t enforced, and why so many owners think the bylaw doesn’t apply to them. Adrian Brown, Surrey

Thrift project voted down Melissa Smalley

Mayor Wayne Baldwin was the lone vote in support. Couns. Helen Fathers and Lynne Sinclair both expressed concerns about the impact on views for neighbouring residents in The Royce, despite an analysis that staff said proved views “were not going to be dramatically impacted.” “When I look at it, I just think it’s a huge impact on the people who have spent their hard-earned money buying into The Royce,” Fathers said. Coun. Grant Meyer said he wouldn’t support the project because of concerns with the proposed Community Amenity Contributions – reduced to $280,000 from $350,000 in the previous application – which he said were “not quite where I’d like to see them.”

A 12-storey development proposed for Thrift Avenue will not proceed to a public hearing, despite support from city staff, after a majority of White Rock council members voted against moving the project forward. The development, proposed by White Rock-based Forge Properties, calls for 33 residential units over a half-acre parcel located at 14825 and 14835 Thrift Ave. Changes were made to the original application – for a 13-storey, 36-unit building, submitted in July 2015 – after staff recommended in November that the applicant address concerns with height, overall massing, density and shared driveway access. At Monday’s land use and planning committee meeting, council

Tax scams ‘heating back up’: RCMP With tax time in full swing, local police are warning of an uptick in reports of a scam in which citizens are threatened with criminal proceedings unless they pay an outstanding tax bill. “It just seems to be heating back up right now,” White Rock RCMP Sgt. Joel Glen said earlier this month. “Just yesterday, we had another five calls.” The scam – in which callers

purport to represent the Canada Revenue Agency – has been prevalent across Canada for months. It started keeping White Rock RCMP busy last fall. The callers are aggressive, Glen said. One senior who came to the Pacific Avenue detachment March 1 told police he was ready to send $3,500 off – until the caller insisted payment could only be

made in cash. That’s when he went to police. “These people, they were very, very aggressive with him,” Glen said, noting the senior said he’d been threatened with arrest. “He came into the office – this was after a week of calls back and forth – just the stress and anxiety he was feeling, you could feel it. “He was losing sleep over it.” – Tracy Holmes

‘Never discussion to lease land’ i from page 1 what it would cost the city to lease the land from Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway. “There were some ideas about whether or not (a parking lot) was an option, so I wanted to understand if that option was pursued… what the additional lease costs were,” Bottrill said. “I always try to anticipate where things might go and questions that might be asked, making sure we have answers in advance of that.” The hillside has been a controversial issue for the city since extensive clearing work began last spring, catching many residents – and at least two councillors – by surprise. Officials say the work was to improve slope stability, increase line of sight and remove invasive species. In December, Coun. Grant Meyer told PAN he wanted the city to take another look at a 12-yearold proposal for a parking and plaza development on the hillside. The plan, commissioned by the city in 2003, called for 125 parking stalls and a pedestrian plaza; after the proposal was met with criticism from the community, council

of the day voted against it. Last month, staff told the city’s environmental advisory committee that Vancouver-based Diamond Head had been commissioned to devise a replanting plan and that the work was a “priority” in the engineering department. A committee member expressed surprise at the Feb. 17 meeting that a plan hadn’t already been made, and that the city needs to “get on it.” A representative from Diamond Head told PAN via email Tuesday the company has “just started to collect information in preparation of a plan” and deferred to the city’s director of engineering, Greg St. Louis, for details of the plan’s objectives. St. Louis is on vacation this week. Coun. David Chesney, who has been outspoken about his disapproval of the hillside clearing, said Tuesday that he was “blindsided” when a resident sent him the email containing the land-lease estimates for the hump last week. “That was the first time I ever saw any of that,” Chesney said, noting a request from the resident for comment left him in a

“terribly awkward position.” “There has never been any discussion that I’ve been part of as to what it would cost for us to lease the land.” Chesney said that while increased parking at the waterfront has been discussed, it’s not something he supports. “I don’t believe that we need to spend millions of taxpayers’ dollars for four or five Sundays a year that people can’t park right in front of the restaurant they want to go to,” he said. “I just don’t think it’s necessary.” Coun. Helen Fathers, who was also forwarded Kurylo’s email, said Tuesday she was unaware of plans for a hillside parking lot and didn’t know why staff would be looking into the matter. “The idea has certainly been thrown around back at the start of our term, to have parking on that hump,” Fathers said. “Has it gone any further than that? I don’t know because I haven’t been privy to that information.” Bottrill said there is no timeline for the landscaping plans but that staff is hoping to get them in place “as soon as we can.”

City would be ‘sitting duck’: judge i from page 1 ing on Feb. 5 – and subsequently posted online – that Surrey could be placed in a legally tenuous situation if it failed in protecting citizens in parks at night. “Without setting up artificial lighting and making sure there are no obvious hazards to users who might not see such hazards at night, the city would be a ‘sitting duck’ in lawsuits for any injuries which resulted to persons using the park at night,” Gulbransen found. He noted that even if being banned from a park after dark

Hospice Society volunteers ‘thrilled’ with renovations

Expansion doubles thrift-shop space Nick Greenizan

Staff Reporter

rom the moment you open the front door and walk into the White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society Thrift Store, it’s obvious it is a popular place. A line at least five customers deep waits at the till as a pair of volunteers behind the counter work to ring up purchases; a handful of other customers weave through row upon row of inventory – racks of jackets, a shelf stacked high with shoes, and another with knick-knacks. On the walls are hung all manner of framed pictures, and just a few feet above shoppers’ heads hang a variety of chandeliers and light fixtures. There is – even after a recent expansion doubled the store’s retail space – very little room to move. “This is about average for us, I’d say. Some days we’re busier,” said Victoria Biggs, the assistant manager. Though it’s busy, Biggs and her staff certainly aren’t complaining. Quite the opposite, in fact – they’re thrilled, as February’s renovation has given both the South Surrey’s store’s volunteers and customers a boost. In early February, Biggs explained, the thrift store took over a neighbouring space previously used by Black Bond Books. A wall was removed, some rewiring was done and paint was applied and, voila, suddenly the thrift store had a lot more room. “We didn’t close at all. They came in and did the rewiring, pushed through the wall, and we did all the painting on the Family Day long weekend – we had a lot of volunteers come in – and then by Tuesday we were open for business,” she explained. “We’re thrilled, just thrilled. “We’ve been open for eight years, and we outgrew our original space quite some time ago. Before, it just felt really small in there. We still have a lot of stuff in storage (that

they didn’t previously have room to display) but we’re working on getting it all out here.” Prior to the renovation, Biggs said the idea of moving to a larger space had been floated from time to time, but the costs were always prohibitive. “As a non-profit, we have to be very conscious of our overhead

costs – and we get a good deal from our landlord here. We didn’t want to move somewhere bigger and end up paying double the rent.” The thrift store – located at 15562 24 Ave. – is an important part of the White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society. The thriving store is responsible for 23 per cent of

role it can play in the community. “Once people have an experience with the hospice society, it’s almost life-changing. You don’t really know what to do when you’re going through (the grieving process), because we don’t really talk about it, but then you find yourself dealing with a situation where you’re losing someone, it’s overwhelming. It’s important to have someone come up and tell you ‘We’ve got your back,’” she said. “People that go through that experience, they’re very grateful to have someone to help them through it.” White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society Thrift Store (www. whiterockhospice.org/thrift-store) is open six days a week, Monday through Saturday.

revenues for the hospice society, Biggs explains – a number that will likely grow as a result of the expansion. Profits go to help fund more than 20 programs at the hospice – which, Biggs said, are offered free-of-charge to people in the community “during their journey of grief and loss.” Helping support the hospice society is a big reason why so many volunteers – many of whom have been around since Day 1 – and customers keep coming back. “Hospice volunteers are a really special breed. They’re very committed,” Biggs said. “We’re like a big extended family.” Many have also dealt with hospice care of a friend or family member, and know the important

Memoir launched on birthday

Tales of a pioneer Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

illem Bakhuys Roozeboom – also known as pioneer B.C. filmmaker Bill Roozeboom – has been many things in his 95 years. Born in Holland, the South Surrey resident came to Canada with his parents at the age of five and was raised on a homestead in central Alberta. By the time he was 10, he recalls, he could “ride a horse, milk a cow, slaughter a pig hitch a team of horses and plow a field.” As a young man growing up in Vancouver in the late 1930s, he was a natural athlete and skilled ice skater. In 1943, he enlisted in the Royal Netherlands Air Force and won his wings as a fighter pilot, serving in the Pacific War against the Japanese. “I flew P-40s and Mustangs,” he told Peace Arch News during his 95th birthday celebrations last month at his current home, South Surrey’s Pacifica Retirement Residence. “At the tail end of the war, the Japanese air force was more or less decimated, so we were doing more dive-bombing – which meant flying right into the muzzles of the anti-aircraft guns,” he said. He added, with typically earthy humour, that advice he received prior to his first ‘hop,’ about the importance of bowel control under stress was some ❝Recognition by of the most important your peers is the he was given during highest award the war. He was shot down you can get.❞ off the coast of New Wim Roozeboom Guinea some 15 days filmmaker short of the end of the Pacific War in August 1945, he said. After ditching his plane in the ocean, was rescued from his inflatable life raft by a Catalina Flying Boat. But he says the most memorable moment for him came afterwards, when he was recuperating in a hospital in Australia. “It was hearing that they had dropped the atom bomb, and what it had done. We knew instantly that the war was over. We knew we’d never have to fly against the antiaircraft guns again.” Roozeboom built a whole new life and career after the end of the war, earning a noted place in the history of the Canadian film industry as a pioneering documentary cinematographer and producer. He won the best film award in the documentary category at the Canadian Film

Awards in 1961 for Take Four Giant Steps, a half-hour short capturing oil exploration in the Yukon filmed in temperatures as low as -70 Fahrenheit. “My wife always said I should have sent a final print to the Oscars, because it could have won there,” he said. “But winning the Canadian award was important to me – recognition by your peers is the highest award you can get.” As a cinematographer, he came to know and champion indigenous peoples in Australia, New Guinea, and – particularly – Canada’s high arctic (chronicled in his 2011 book Through My Viewfinder). Filming there taught him a lot more than the Inuit word for coffee – Nug-up, he recalled. He, along with other media covering the Arctic, also played an important – if

unofficial – role gathering information and feedback for Stuart Hodgson, first resident commissioner of the Northwest Territories, he said. His third and latest literary venture – launched at his 95th birthday party on Feb. 17 – is the book, Welcome to Walkerville. It recounts, with dry humour, how Take Four Giant Steps was made – and the role played by the lead trail bulldozer operator, a rough-hewn northern character ‘Frenchie’ Lavoie. But the book is only tangentially about Roozeboom and his career, however. He’s quick to credit fellow residents of Pacifica as “co-authors” for a collection of reminiscences – along with some of their own photographs – that offer insights into the wide variety of real life experiences of Roozeboom’s generation.

While many, as the title suggests, must now use a walker to get about, the sharing of their stories – an intriguing mix of comedy, romance, tragedy and just about every stop in-between – illustrates the enhanced social possibilities for seniors through association with contemporaries at such residences as Pacifica. And the birthday celebration for Wim – as he now prefers to be known – was a clear demonstration not only the warm regard in which he’s held by Pacifica residents and staff, but that he’s still much the charismatic charmer and catalyst he always was (residents and staff jokingly refer to the six ladies who daily share his table in the Pacifica dining room as ‘Wim’s harem’ ). “I never thought there would be this many people here,” he said, observing the residents and guests offering congratulations, including White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin. “Winning the affection of the people here is a nice thing,” he said, recalling that he and his late wife, Marguerite, met more people in the first evening they came to the residence than they had during a decade in their own White Rock home. Marguerite – who, sadly, passed last year – also has her own story in the collection, shedding some light on Roozeboom’s early years (for many years the Vancouver and Los-Angeles-trained artist collaborated with him on his films, providing animated graphics – “she was one of the most prolific animation artists in Canada,” Roozeboom told PAN). She was originally in love with his younger brother, Gus, she recalled, but the younger Roozeboom was killed serving with the British Commandos in Holland in 1944. Quite unexpectedly, she found herself falling for Wim when he returned to Vancouver in the late 1940s. “It is said that lightning never strikes in the same place twice, but that did not hold true for me,” she wrote.

Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Some people can summarize their lives with a scrapbook or a photo album. Others can offer a memoir or a portfolio of art works. In the case of soft-spoken White Rock troubadour Willie Mackenzie, it’s a book brimming with melodies and poetic lyrics – Songs Of A Ross-shire Son. A collection of original folk songs, written between 1956 and 2015, it celebrates loved ones, including wife Isabella (Biddy), ancient myths and historic incidents, and his deep and abiding love for two landscapes: the rugged hills and shores of his native Scotland near the village of Poolewe, and the mountains and rain-swept coastline near his second home, White Rock. The richly evocative songs have the authenticity of autobiography – and they’re well-served by Mackenzie’s own lilting Scots-accented voice and guitar strumming, as his 12-song CD, also titled Songs Of A Ross-shire Son, and recorded with a hand-picked group of musicians, amply illustrates. But the fondest wish of the singer/songwriter, still youthful at 81, is that the lifetime of song and experience in the book connect with other musicians for whom the genre resonates. He’d love to introduce his tunes to them, through the book – in which the melodies have been transcribed by Andy Fielding – and through this CD. “And I’d be happy to demonstrate them for someone who was interested,” he said. “I’m not out to make money with these songs, but I’d like them to be played.” While he likes to jam with other musicians (he’s a regular at the Elks Lodge on George Street) he disparages his own playing and singing with typical modesty.

White Rock troubadour Willie Mackenzie has released a written collection of original folk songs. “I’m not a performer,” he said. “Oh, maybe at a party or a wedding after a dram or two. Then you might have a time getting me to stop.” It’s possible to trace Mackenzie’s own story through the songs, from his early days and joy of hunting and fishing around Poolewe, through the struggles with asthma that curtailed his secondaryschool education and launched him into a succession of labouring and driving jobs. He came to Canada in the early 1960s, where he fell in love with Jasper, Alta. and, later the West Coast. Nostalgic for the old country, he returned to Scotland – only to find he was yearning for B.C. “We came back in 1978 and came straight to White Rock,” he said. For information on Songs Of A Ross-Shire Song – either the book or CD – contact Mackenzie at williesden@gmail.com

BC Hockey League team ‘exploring all avenues’ after second straight losing season

Nowhere to go but up: Eagles’ owner Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

fter back-to-back BC Hockey League seasons with fewer than 10 wins, the Surrey Eagles are about to undergo a thorough “top to bottom” review of the organization in an attempt to right the listing ship. Co-owner and team president Chuck Westgard told Peace Arch News this week that the organization is “regrouping and taking a look at things,” after the Eagles wrapped up a disappointing 7-48-1-2 season (win-loss-overtime loss-tie) – the worst record in the league by far.

In the last two BCHL regular seasons – under head coach Blaine Neufeld – the team has 16 wins in 116 games. “Believe me, after nine wins and seven wins, we’re exploring all our avenues to make not only the on-ice product better, but management better and the organization better,” Westgard said. Westgard – who, along with childhood friends Gary Nylund and Scott Bradley bought the team from Ronnie Paterson in 2010 – acknowledged the recent record could hurt the team’s ability to recruit top players. “It’s a concern. After last season, with nine

wins and going with the all-local “You have to be able to convince roster, we thought we should change the kids, the families, the things up. We had high hopes at universities that this is a good place the start of the year, but we could to play. It takes years to build that, never really attract all the players we but only takes one bad season to wanted,” he said. unravel it,” he said. “No doubt about “We thought we had players this it, it’s something we have to look at, year… but we found out pretty early and we are.” in the year that we really didn’t, and Wins and losses aside, the 2015/16 we took a bit of a step back.” season was also marked by the Chuck Westgard Westgard wouldn’t lay the blame the mid-season resignation of entirely on hockey operations, saying team president Nylund as assistant coach, and the instead it was “an organizational December departures of Westgard’s thing,” noting that attracting players is a son, Ty – who left the team for the Western priority. i see page 22

The game was won 39-7 by the Beavers, and also secured the Onion Cup for the winning club. The Onion Cup battle – which honours Paul Iannone, who played for both clubs – is contested for each year by Bayside and Surrey. This year, the rivalry was turned into a three-game total-points series, and included two games earlier this rugby season. Boaz Joseph photo

Despite struggles, team is ‘alive and well’ i from page 21 Hockey League’s Victoria Royals – and fellow forward Darius Davidson, who was traded to the Penticton Vees. (Davidson is the son of Bill Davidson, whose Pro 4 Sports company owns a stake in the Eagles.) “Obviously it was a little different this year, with the people involved, and (our) own kids leaving,” Westgard said. “With

Ty, we would’ve liked him to have stayed and finished Grade 12 here, but it was his decision. We tried to promote the college route. He had full-ride offers from (NCAA) Div. 1 schools but wasn’t accepting them. So I just asked him what his plans were for next year and he said he was going (to the WHL).” The team’s struggles played a part in the decision, Westgard said.

Surrey Eagle Jeffrey Stewart collides with Dominic Franco of the Langley Rivermen during a BC Hockey League game last season. “You know, I think if we had the team we had in 2013, he’d have stayed for sure. But these were the circumstances.” Nylund – who sold his minority stake in the team to Westgard a few years ago – left due to disagreements over how the team was being run, Westgard said. Nylund had been an assistant coach with the Eagles in 2013 when Matt Erhart coached the team to a league title, but he left for family reasons. This past season under Neufeld – who was employed by Pro 4 Sports prior to coaching the Eagles – was Nylund’s first back behind the bench.

“Gary and I are the best of friends, and I know he loved the boys, but there were a few conflicts with how he wanted to run things. Not conflicts between him and I, but between the different ownership groups, myself and Pro 4,” Westgard explained. “When things aren’t going that well and the product on the ice is not competitive, it’s a tough situation. I just think it got to the point where it wasn’t the same type of environment as it was when he first was here, and it just didn’t really work.” Coaching philosophies aside, Westgard brushed off the suggestion of

internal conflict at the ownership and management level. “I don’t think it’s unstable at this point… it’s stable enough. We’re just in a bit of transition, and obviously I’m involved – I’m hoping to get back to where we were a couple years back,” he said. Though a decline in on-ice performance often correlates to a decline in ticket sales and a team’s finances, Westgard suggested the team is “alive and well, financially.” Last December, in an email to PAN, the BCHL head office reiterated as much, writing that “as far as the league is concerned, the Surrey franchise is as committed to their operation in the BCHL as they’ve ever been.” “Rumours do go around, but as long as I’m involved, there will be a team on the ice here,” Westgard said. “But everything needs to improve. It has to. There’s not much lower to go, so we need to figure out a way to go up from here.”

Valley West advances to semifinals this weekend

Hawks win playoff series Rick Kupchuk Black Press

Their first-round playoff series wasn’t much of a test for the Valley West Hawks. The BC Hockey Major Midget League team hammered the Vancouver Canadians 8-1 and 9-2, sweeping their best-of-three series and moving on to the final four next weekend. “Our best players were our best players and we had contributions throughout the lineup,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung, explaining the one-sided result. Valley West will host the Okanagan Rockets in the semifinal round. The No. 4-seeded Rockets defeated the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds in their firstround matchup. Valley West took a while to hit their stride in Saturday’s win at the Sungod Arena in North Delta. But Bobby Russell and Oliver Alcock scored in the opening period to give the home team a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes, and the Hawks dominated the final two periods. “Our opening shift was dominant. We generated three gradeA scoring chances right off puck drop,” said Leung. “But we couldn’t maintain the intensity and had to turn to

The Hawks got goals from Ilijah Colina, Evanish, Nichael Farren and Luka Burzan in the third period. Burzan also had three assists. “We were relentless down the stretch,” said Leung. “They (Canadians) were able to skate with us for two periods before it came crashing down for them.” Sunday’s win was never in doubt. Valley West struck for two goals in the first three minutes of play, and led 3-1 after one period before burying the Canadians with six goals in the second. “We had another great start, relentless from puck drop,” said Leung. Colina had a hat trick for the Hawks, with James Malm adding two goals and three assists. Russell, Gurney, Burzan and Josh Bruce completed the scoring. Burzan collected another three assists, with Evanish and Mitch Savage earning two each. The Hawks will host the first game of the best-of-three semifinal Friday at 8 p.m. in the Surrey Sports and Leisure Centre. The second game is at 6:30 p.m. Saturday night in the South Surrey Arena, with a third game (if necessary) Sunday at 3 p.m., also in South Surrey.

Panorama Ridge knocks off No. 2-seeded team at senior boys basketball provincials

Thunder pull off first-round hoops upset at LEC Chuks Udevi for much of the game, after he left with an injury – were led by Harsimran Bhul-

lar, who had 17 points and nine rebounds. The two teams were familiar with each other, having squared off in the consolation final of the Tsumura Basketball Invitational back in December – a game Churchill won 98-80. Panorama Ridge advanced to Round 2, where they squared off against No. 7 W.J. Mouat Thursday. All secondround games were played after Peace Arch News’ press deadline. Wednesday was also a good one for another sound-end Surrey team, as the No. 3-ranked Tamanawis Wildcats cruised to the second round after a 113-73 win over Fort St. John’s North Peace Secondary. Miguel Tomley led the Wildcats’ offence with 38 points, while Gary Sahota tacked on 12. The Wildcats played No. 6 Kitsilano in second-round action Thursday. One other Surrey squad, the Holy Cross Crusaders, also advanced to Round 2, as the No. 9 seed defeated No. 8 St. George’s Saints 78-66. They battled Oak Bay in the second round. In the AAA tournament – also played at the LEC – the topseeded Southridge Storm advanced to Thursday’s second round, defeating Nelson’s L.V. Rogers 88-58 Wednesday afternoon. The Storm were led by Hunter Hughes, who had 31 points and nine rebounds. Southridge advanced to play No. 8 Mark Isfeld Secondary. Both the 4A and AAA tournaments continue today (Friday) with the championship games in both set for Saturday night. – Nick Greenizan

A purchase is often an emotional purchase and it’s much for difficult to get buyers excited about a vacant home.”

Some of the major changes that will offer the best return include vamping up the kitchens and bathrooms – rooms that are important to all buyers.

“[House flipping] is a big undertaking and it can be overwhelming for buyers who have never done a big renovation before,” she says. “For a first time flipper, I would consider a smaller project, like a home that could use a good clean up and small changes such as paint and carpewts.” With all matters of the market, there is a downside and profits are not guaranteed. “The market could change while you are in the middle of your renovation, so it’s important to be as quick as possible with your flip,” says McKnight. “ It’s also important to set a budget and stick to it, as it’s very easy to get carried away and spend significantly more than you had anticipated, eating up any potential profit.” She advises working with an agent who has purchased flipped homes for clients in the past. If done correctly, she says that house flipping can be a very exciting and profitable project. As for de Wit’s advice, he says that if you insist on rolling the dice, make sure you do your research, and work with professional renovators or builders, like those found at www.gvhba.org

HOCKLEY ENGELBRECHT Jutta 1927 ~ 2016 Born in Germany, but after the death of her beloved husband Georg Lehmann, came to Canada where she settled and eventually happily remarried. She loved fun, travel, gardening and dogs - especially dogs, which she called “poochies”. Jutta’s latter years were spent in the Hogg Pavilion where her care was exemplary - Gail could always make her laugh; Jackie - always gentle and caring; Veronica gave the BEST baths; plus so many more who can never be adequately thanked. But her Companion Par Excellence was Ruthann Harper. We will all miss Jutta. Online condolences to the family may be made to:

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

March 10, 1940 – March 4, 2016 Passed peacefully surrounded by her loving family at the Peace Arch hospital in White Rock, BC on Friday, March 4th, 2016 at the age of 75. Derrice was born and raised in Corner Brook, Newfoundland. After living in Ottawa, Rome, and Regina, she finally settled in White Rock in 1999 to be close to her sons, their wives and her 5 precious grandchildren. She loved nothing more than having them all together for a family meal for whatever the celebration or holiday and was always finding ways to make them each feel so loved and special. Humour, laughter and conversation along with her kind and caring nature were always front and centre with both family and her many dear friends and will forever be missed in all their lives. Derrice was taken far too soon from all of us by ovarian cancer. She was courageous throughout her brief treatment and was so appreciative of the support of her friends and family during this time. She is survived by: Her two sons Peter (Patty) and David (Andrea Pollock), her five grandchildren Elizabeth, Sarah, Danica, Connor and Lauren, her brother Fred (Terry), brother-in-law Cyril Sweetapple, nieces and nephews Gail, Derrice, Stephen and Jennifer. She is predeceased by her parents Hezekiah & Doris Gullage (Colbourne) and her sister Madge. The family wishes to say thank you to the ICU nurses at the Peace Arch hospital and the Fraser Valley Cancer Centre chemotherapy treatment unit for their compassion and care. We also wish to extend our sincere gratitude to Dr. Robyn McKnight, Dr. LeeAnn Martin, Dr. Jean Lauzon and Dr. Sean Rose for helping all of us through this difficult time. A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, March 11 at 10:00 A.M. at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre located at 14831 28th Ave, Surrey, BC V4P 1P3, (604)-536-6522. A private interment will take place at Mount Patricia Cemetery in Corner Brook, Newfoundland at a later date. In lieu of flowers, a memorial donation may be made to the BC Cancer Foundation.
