Houses 4, condos 0 when it comes to street permits in White Rock

City parking-pass rules ‘discriminatory’ Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

A White Rock resident is calling on the city to re-examine its residential street-parking policies after learning of what he calls “discriminatory” practices against condominium owners. Neil Floyd moved to the city just over a year ago when he and his wife bought a condo in the 15700block of Marine Drive. At the time, Floyd had three vehicles, and his building only provided one underground parking spot. With the majority of spots in his neighbourhood pay parking – save for a handful designated ‘resident parking only’ – Floyd went to city hall to request a residential parking permit for his truck. “I was told that because I lived in a condo, I was ineligible for a resident-parking permit,” Floyd told Peace Arch News this week, noting he was also told that single-family homeowners could get up to four such permits free of charge if they requested them. After bringing the issue to the attention of council – many of whom Floyd said were unaware of the policy – he was offered a permit by staff on a “pilot” basis. He said he only accepted the pass on the condition other condo owners in his situation would be able to get a permit, which the city agreed to. While Floyd is relieved to have a permit allowing him to park i see page 4

Marine Drive resident Neil Floyd said he accepted a temporary ‘pilot’ pass on the condition that city staff agreed other condo owners would be eligible.

Police-shooting death investigation shouldn’t be influenced by politicians: MLA Hogg

Justice critic asks if staff issues delay answers Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

The long wait for answers for the family of police-shooting victim Hudson Brooks is “unacceptable,” according to the provincial justice critic, who said he will be discussing the matter in the legislature in the coming weeks. NDP MLA Mike Farnworth (Port Coquitlam) told Peace Arch News Mike Farnworth Wednesday that there are “a whole ‘Unacceptable wait’ bunch of questions” that need to be

Few details have been released about what happened in the early-morning hours of July 18, when police say an altercation took place and Brooks was shot. An officer also suffered non-lifethreatening injuries, and investigators later confirmed only police-issued weapons were found at the scene. Brooks’ family has expressed frustration at the unanswered questions and the lack of support from elected officials, who – until Surrey-Green Tim-

bers MLA Sue Hammell spoke out earlier this week – have remained mum on the incident. Liberal MLA Gordon Hogg (SurreyWhite Rock) told PAN Thursday that while he agrees with Hammell and Farnworth that the investigation is taking a long time, the IIO was established by the province to carry out investigations “at arm’s-length from government.” i see page 4

asked surrounding the events of last July – when Brooks was fatally shot outside the South Surrey RCMP detachment – and the subsequent investigation by the Independent Investigations Office. “Why is it taking so long?” Farnworth said. “Why was the mother not allowed to see the body? Why did it take 12 hours for her to be notified? It may well be that we have to hear from the IIO on this. But this does strike me as a rather long time to have such silence.”

South Surrey woman in Belgium during Tuesday’s terrorist attacks

‘Fear of impending doom’ prior to attacks Rick Kupchuk Black Press

The deadly explosions in Brussels, Belgium that killed more than 30 people this week have left Belgians shocked and confused – but not totally surprised. That’s according to South Surrey resident Veerle Anseeuw, who is in Belgium for her father’s 92nd birthday. Anseeuw told Black Press on the day of the explosion Tuesday that the blasts at the airport and a metro station in Brussels weren’t totally unexpected. “I became nervous last Friday when they

arrested (ISIS member and Paris bombing suspect Salah Abdeslam in Brussels),” said Anseeuw, who is staying in Onstend, about 100 kilometres northwest of the capital. “People were wondering what repercussions there would be because he was able to hide with help from a lot of his people right in Brussels…. There was a fear of impending doom. People knew this wasn’t going to happen without repercussions.” Abdeslam was charged with participating in the November terrorist attacks in Paris that killed 130 people at a rock concert, a football stadium and several cafés.

This week’s attacks in Brussels included two bombs at the Brussels Airport and one at a metro subway station. More than 30 people have died and as many as 190 people were wounded. The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the attacks. Anseeuw arrived in Belgium March 17 and is scheduled to fly home on March 29. “But we’ve been told to call back later and see… if they will redirect us to a different airport. My husband was supposed to join us (Wednesday), but we cancelled that flight. We didn’t want both of us here while our children (aged 27, 24, 19 and 17) are still home.”

Anseeuw said she felt “pretty safe” but was following the news updates. “People are in shock. It’s very emotional. I’m watching newscasts and seeing people in different cities gathering to talk about this. It’s a very emotional atmosphere.” Belgium is under a Level 4 terror alert, the highest level, which diverts planes and trains and asks people to remain where they are. Global Affairs Canada issued a travel advisory for Belgium early Tuesday. As of Thursday, Canadians were still advised to “exercise a high degree of caution due to the current elevated threat of terrorism.”

Moorage contract canceled after two decades at Ward’s Marina

Boaters hope third-party judgment overturns city Alex Browne Staff Reporter

A South Surrey couple who are being taken to court by the City of Surrey say they’re confident that they have filed a formal response that should be legally acceptable. Gordon and Karna Balsillie, are to appear in New Westminster Supreme Court on March 29, in response to Surrey’s injunction to remove their 39-foot catamaran Elysium from Ward’s Marina.

The couple, who had moored boats at Ward’s Marina for 22 years before the city canceled their moorage contract in 2014, claim they were not given a chance to address alleged breaches of their mooring contract by the city. At an initial appearance March 11, the case was adjourned for two weeks so that they could file correct documentation for their response. Justice John Harvey told them that, by not presenting their response

properly “right now (the city’s petition) is, effectively, unopposed.” Karna Balsillie told PAN at that time that they had received legal advice that they would be able to present their side of the story. On Thursday she said a new lawyer has prepared a formal response she feels should pass muster for the court, and filed it by the March 22 advance deadline set by the court. While the city’s case hinges on the fact that the couple’s boat is still at

the marina on the Nicomekl River without a moorage contract, their response argues that Surrey terminated the previous contract without showing just cause. And that, Balsillie alleges, is in violation of Surrey’s own Human Rights policy, which sets out due process for the resolution of disagreements and bylaw infractions. “They are obligated to give us a reason – they can’t just say no after renewing it for 22 years,” she said,

adding that the case has soured them on the marina and tarnished an unblemished record of moorage at the facility. “They say we have to move the boat. It’s inconvenient, it’s costly, whatever. That is not the point,” she added. “Even if we were guilty of some infraction, they didn’t go about it the right way. We’ve always said we’d be happy to accept a third-party judgement. “We’ll have to see what happens.”

White Rock to revisit policy: Kurylo i from page 1 adjacent to his building, he questioned the imbalance in the policy and the financial impact of allowing four permits per singlefamily house. “We’re being treated differently than a single-family homeowner. They get four, we get one,” Floyd said. “Where does the city have the resources and financial wellbeing to hand out anything for free?” The city’s director of financial services Sandra Kurylo – speaking on behalf of city manager Dan Bottrill, who is on vacation – confirmed single-family homes are eligible for up to four permits and told PAN the reason for condo owners being ineligible is because the buildings include visitor parking spaces in their underground facilities.

Kurylo said the permit was offered to Floyd “on a pilot basis until the city had the time to look at the long-term impact and assess the policy on a long-term basis.” While Kurylo did not know how many houses in White Rock have received resident parking permits, or whether there had been issues with an excessive demand for such permits, she acknowledged that parking can be problematic for residents. “There’s a real demand for street parking in certain areas of the city,” she said. Asked when the four-permit policy was put in place and who authorized it, Kurylo said she did not know but that the city will be “revisiting the policy.” Floyd said he has offered his services in helping the city to review its parking policies, which

he said are “convoluted” and rife with problems, including unclear signage. He said he would like to see White Rock follow the City of Vancouver model, where residents can buy a parking decal each year which allows them to park in certain parts of the city. In the meantime, he fears the current policy of allowing condo owners a permit on a “pilot” basis could impact the resale value of some condos – he noted one neighbour who had a sale fall through because a parking permit couldn’t be guaranteed – and wants the city to treat all property owners equally. “I pay taxes here, I live here, this is my home,” he said. “I do not want to be discriminated against by my city because of the fact that I chose to buy a condo.”

Information ‘could prejudice trial’ i from page 1 “I don’t think this is something that politicians should be actively involved in,” Hogg said. “It’s a legal process, and legal processes are there not to be influenced by politicians, who sometimes make bad judgments with initiatives that are particularly legal in nature.” Hogg said that while he is “very empathetic” to Brooks’ family – he noted that his office had been in touch with a family friend following the incident and offered condolences at the time – he believes the lack of information provided by investigators was a reflection of a legal process that “is not often as compassionate as we would like it to be.” “In court cases – and this well may end up in court – they don’t reveal information beforehand because it could prejudice the outcome of the court proceeding,” he said. “There is a very delicate and

He said he plans to inquire not only about Brooks’ case but about the IIO process and whether the backlog of “third-party reports” IIO spokespersons have attributed to

the delay are indicative of staffing issues. “If there are these kinds of backlogs, then there are obviously problems,” Farnworth said. “You should not be having to wait more than a year for a report on a ballistics test.” Farnworth cited a February 2015 report conducted by a special legislative committee formed to review the IIO, and said he would review its findings and recommendations. “This will be an opportunity to look at what has happened since that report,” he said. Farnworth echoed statements made by Hammell earlier this week that Brooks’ family has waited “too long” for an explanation of what happened. “The fact that the family has been left with so many unanswered questions, quite frankly, is unacceptable,” he said.

Federal budget gets mixed reviews from Surrey leaders

Transit funding ‘on track’ Jeff Nagel & Tom Fletcher Black Press

Tuesday’s federal budget brings good and bad news for Metro Vancouver mayors who hoped big new grants from Ottawa might quickly accelerate their transit-expansion plans. There is no major chunk on offer yet from the federal government for the planned Surrey light rail project or the Broadway SkyTrain extension, both $2-billionplus projects. What is coming soon – over the next three years – is $460 million in public transit funding for B.C., $370 million of that for Metro Vancouver. Metro mayors expect that to help fund new buses, SkyTrain cars and station upgrades for TransLink – effectively helping kickstart the other planks of the region’s transit expansion strategy that’s been in limbo since the referendum defeat last summer of a new regional sales tax. Metro board chair Greg Moore noted the regional vision called for a 25 per cent bus service lift and 11 new B-Line express routes, adding some of that could be implemented soon. The initial phase of money is also expected to help fund continued design and engineering of the Vancouver and Surrey rapidtransit expansions. Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said she is not disappointed by the Liberals’ approach to phasing transit grants. “They are on track to do what they said they would do,” Hepner said, noting it will take years to build the new lines and not all the money is needed right away. “This moves us along towards construction. We may start in the ground in 2018 but we may not finish going all the way out to Langley until 2022 or 2024.” Other news, if widely telegraphed MADE IN BC

Auxiliaries play critical role

T

he decision earlier this year by the RCMP to limit the duties performed by auxiliary constables will have a ripple effect, one likely to be felt on the Semiahmoo Peninsula and beyond. Under the new guidelines, the auxiliary officers – of which there are some 2,000 across Canada – will no longer be able to accompany regular officers on ride-alongs, nor do traffic duty or crowd control, among other restrictions. The decision, spurred in part by the death of Canadian Honour Guard Cpl. Nathan Cirillo in Ottawa in 2014, and the wounding of auxiliary Const. Derek Bond in the same shooting incident that claimed the life of an RCMP constable in Alberta last year, reinforces the RCMP’s admirable commitment to maintaining the safety of volunteers in community policing programs. It’s also undoubtedly the most significant change since it was decided in 1998 that auxiliaries would no longer carry firearms. But limiting auxiliary duties – while it may not reduce the RCMP’s visibility in traffic and crowd control – will definitely increase the cost of policing for public events. In the past, events on the Semiahmoo Peninsula – from the White Rock Sea Festival to the Tour de White Rock to any number of fundraising run/walks – have included a large contingent of auxiliary officers. Costs will rise exponentially if those duties are performed by regular members. The fear is that the changes will also discourage potential auxiliary candidates from signing on, especially in B.C., which has the largest number of auxiliaries in the country. Only about one in three applicants actually gets appointed as auxiliary constables under the Provincial Police Act. The commitment is steep, involving about 180 hours of training, and successful candidates are responsible for a minimum of 160 hours of service a year. Candidates are a blend of those who see the experience as an asset to pursuing a career in policing, and those who want to serve the communities they live in. They are well-versed in the risks the work entails, and volunteer mainly for the rewards involved in serving the community. Hopefully, the changes – although arguably right-minded – do not mark the beginning of the end of such a valuable program.

livestock, it was the one way we had to stand out amidst the crazy decor. The best part, though, was our footwear. It was the early-’90s, so it should come as no surprise that we were all running around in sturdy black Doc Martens. In addition to being recommended by four out of five podiatrists, the shoes had the added bonus of thick, grippy soles. It’s no mystery why restaurants and pubs want female employees to dress in revealing clothing and high heels. It has everything to do with the bottom line – and a lot to do with money, too. None of this is to say women shouldn’t wear short skirts, low-cut tops or even push-up bras to work, if that’s what makes them happy. But it shouldn’t be a job requirement. I can’t imagine any woman saying to herself, “You know what would make this eight-hour shift – all of which I spend on my feet – just that little bit more enjoyable? Three-inch heels.” Waiting tables is hard work, as anyone who has ever done it will tell you. So it’s not much to ask that employees be allowed to be comfortable in the process. And for some servers, that might not include being looked at like they’re the dessert. Brenda Anderson is the editor of The Langley Times, a sister paper to Peace Arch News.

Technological challenge

One certainty: tracks remain

Editor: Re: ‘Fix access issue before closing SkyTrain gates,’ March 2. This whole issue of Compass Cards and the disabled not being able to use the installed reader is rather mysterious. We have bridge tolls collected from little devices on our front automobile windows. The readers are metres above cars travelling at high speeds over our tolled bridges, and do a very good job. We have crooks who can buy devices to read our credit cards in our pockets from a few feet away. Yet we can’t get a reader to recognize a Compass Card for a disabled person travelling at low speed, or stopped, from a few feet. Something is not right with this picture. In this computerized world, how is it so difficult to give a disabled person a uniquely coded card that will open a disability gate at a SkyTrain station from two or three feet away. The disabled should be able to store the card safely on their person and approach the gate and have it open without further ado. Would be nice to get an explanation of why this is so difficult. William (Bill) Fernihough, Surrey

Editor: Re: Two sides laud federal reaction, March 2 letters. Every picture tells a story. Of course, it was a much different story back then, wasn’t it? Civic elections were just around the corner and jumping on board the relocation train was a golden opportunity for scoring some political points. Using lofty words of hope and inspiration, then-Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts easily controlled the crowd in her usual trademark fashion (Cities present four rail-route options, Nov. 28, 2013). Even though the challenges of relocation were already well known,

Accolades only for previous PM Editor: Re: Divergent leadership, Feb. 17 letters. I just want to say how much I appreciate seeing the letter that was written by L. Young, White Rock. There was little or no respect for our past prime minister Stephen Harper. Even if you didn’t like him he was our prime minister. As he himself said, “I am not perfect.” I don’t care for our new one. He doesn’t seem to have any authority and is not interesting in doing the important issues of Canada’s security in light of the violence in Europe and the Middle East. Our economy is an important issue. He probably doesn’t realize as he was a kindergarten teacher. He was born into wealth and doesn’t understand poverty. We should wish good wishes for our former PM and his family. I believe he is a good dad and husband and has good values and he was a statesman in my eyes. Justin Trudeau will never be one. G.J.W. Smith, White Rock

Watts presents rail options in 2013. Watts never missed an opportunity to remind us of how difficult those challenges actually were. The entire production had all the trimmings of your typical, politically motivated, government-sponsored photo-op. And Watts was just covering her bases like any polished pro would.

Two letter writers suggest ways for White Rock beach to attract tourists, without creating additional parking lots.

Creative visions for the beach Editor: In my travels around Thailand, Japan and Indonesia I’ve seen amazing landscape architecture. I’d like to make a suggestion for the White Rock ‘hump,’ where the trees were recently cut down. The hillside is a blank canvas. It offers a fantastic opportunity to do something valuable for White Rock. The concept is to have a talented landscape architect develop a world-class landscape – a combination of local vernacular garden of plants, flowers and artifacts. The hillside is visible from both the sidewalk up top and the sea wall below. It has a variable slope, including flat areas that would allow access for people to walk into the garden and take advantage of seating and views. A world-class gardens would attract visitors from Metro Vancouver and Washington State. Visitors would walk from West Beach to East Beach, viewing the gardens and generating revenues for local businesses. Tourist trolleys like the ones currently used in Vancouver could shuttle visitors from the South Surrey Park-and-Ride near King George Boulevard to White Rock beach. The trolley shuttle could be part of the attraction. South Surrey and White Rock has an interesting history that a trolly driver can relay to visitors. In addition, the drive to White Rock beach is very scenic.

The project could be monetized through charging visitors at the park-and-ride, which would include the trolley ride to the beach. TransLink should be open to utilizing their empty park-and-ride on weekends. With the right designer and team, there is an amazing opportunity to create something wonderful on the hillside. If executed properly, this project could make White Rock a world-class tourist destination. David St. James, Surrey Q It boggles the mind that, in this day and age, our city council is considering spending millions on a parking facility that will encourage more cars on the waterfront (‘Hump parking’ memo surprises council, March 11). Why not spend that $6 million to create a long-term system that is attractive and sustainable – for example, a dedicated zone beside the museum for drivers to drop off their passengers along with chairs and other beach necessities, and then return their cars to a central parking area with a dedicated, free and frequent shuttle service to get back to the beach? Please give some consideration to alternatives, such as mass transit or a funicular or other means of getting people to the beach without their cars. Hélène Cameron, White Rock

miles and wisely retired from one of the most cushiest Conservative strongholds in all the country. And Watts had both eyes on the prize! It was supposed to be the ultimate slam-dunk. However, Watts soon found herself in hot water for bowing to King Stephen’s divisive policies of fear and intimidation. Those little fear-mongering flyers certainly didn’t help her either! Was this the Dianne Watts that everyone knew and loved? Of course not. But that’s politics for ya. It’s a nasty, nasty game.

Josefa Belcourt killed March 14 while crossing King George Boulevard

Husband pleads for closure after hit-and-run Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Vincent Belcourt says he now sits outside his hotel room in a “deadly silence,” wondering why someone drove away after fatally injuring his wife last week.

Josefa, known by friends as Josie, was crossing King George Boulevard near 83 Avenue at 6:45 a.m. on Monday, March 14, when a 2010 or 2011 Honda CRV hit her and took off. The 57-year-old was

taken to hospital, where she died. The couple had been gathering the last load before moving from a trailer park in Surrey to a large home in Vancouver. Fifteen minutes after kissing her goodbye, Belcourt

said, police officers showed to his door. She was the love of my life,” Belcourt told a news conference at the Surrey’s main RCMP detachment Tuesday. “She would walk into a room, she would make everybody smile.”

Belcourt said he forgives the driver. Addressing the driver directly, Belcourt said: “You didn’t mean to kill my wife, but it was a cowardly act to go and

run. I ask you please to come forward to bring closure.” The couple would have been married 27 years as of April 25. They were both

extremely excited about their move to Vancouver. The couple both worked at Lookout, a place that helps the mentally ill in Vancouver. Belcourt will miss having Josie by his side. “Now, for the first time, I’m realizing she won’t be there the next day,” Vincent said. “I’m devastated, and I’m kind of lost.” Police have released an image of the vehicle moments before it struck Josie.

Shootings outpace 2015 Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Shots rang out three times more in North Surrey this past week, bringing to 12 the number of confirmed shootings this year in a city recoiling from continued gun violence. At 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Surrey RCMP responded to a report of shots fired in the 10800-block of 143 Street. They found a man suffering from non-life threatening injuries. Police described it as a targeted shooting. On Sunday, at 6:50 a.m., officers responded to a call of shots fired in the 11000-block of 132 Street and found shell casings at the scene. Bullets had been fired into a home, without injury. Mounties say the occupants were known to police. And last Friday at 2 a.m., officers responded to a call of shots

fired near 144 Street and 92 Avenue. Shell casings were found at the scene and police were alerted that a 23-year-old man had arrived at Surrey Memorial Hospital with a gunshot wound. Again, the victim was known to police. Investigators believe it was a targeted shooting and are trying to determine whether it is related to previous gun violence in the area. Surrey is now outpacing a year of violence in 2015, when there were 47 shootings in the embattled Newton area as two rival drug gangs initiated a turf war. This year’s statistics so far amount to more than a shooting a week. RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann was unable to confirm the number of shootings but said any shooting is a concern. “In my experience, people who are not involved in a life of crime are not likely going to become

victims of crime,” he said. “That said, when you have criminals who are violent and seem to have no regard for anyone’s safety, the public should be concerned.” He said police are using all resources available to put an end to the shootings. “People should know we’re working around the clock to solve these types of crimes,” Schumann said. RCMP analysts are working to determine whether there is another outbreak of violence similar to last year. So far, investigators have made no connection between this year’s shootings and those in 2015. “That’s not to say the connections aren’t there,” Schumann said. “But we haven’t seen any yet.” Anyone with information can Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228417.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

David Pennington plans 2,700-km run for Indonesia

Sea change Nick Greenizan

D

Staff Reporter

avid Pennington is no stranger to a challenge. An athlete in his youth – his sport of choice was hockey – Pennington is also an avid cyclist, having once completed a marathon ride across Africa, from Cairo, Egypt to Cape Town, South Africa. Then, about two years ago, on something of a whim, he decided he wanted to complete an Ironman; seven months of training later, he crossed the finish line, at the grueling race in Cabo San Lucas. It was the training for the latter event that, he says, spurred him toward his most ambitious athletic endeavour yet – a 2,700km run from the U.S.-Mexico border to Vancouver, which he is set to embark on next month. Pennington expects the trip to 42 days, which means running 65 km – a marathonand-a-half – each day. “I just decided out of the blue that I wanted to do an Ironman, so I started training and that’s really where I gained an appreciation for running,” said Pennington, a 30-year-old graduate of Elgin Park Secondary. Though Pennington is excited about the challenge his proposed run presents, the journey is about more than simply testing his physical limits. He is running to raise awareness for waste-management issues that threaten Raja Ampat, Indonesia, a region made up of more than 1,500 islands. “I’m trying to raise money to create a waste-management system there because it’s sorely needed. There’s no system there at all, so people just end up throwing their garbage in the waterways or the ocean,” explained Pennington, who has dubbed his journey the Ocean Rescue Run. “They get sold a lot of plastic products there – plastic water bottles, plastic bags – and there’s just no way of disposing of it properly, and now with all this plastic, they just can’t do that anymore. “And if they don’t throw it away, they just burn it – sometimes right there on the sidewalk, so you’ve got people inhaling all these toxins and poisons. My goal is to just help try and fix it. I know it won’t be a complete solution, but it’s something I can do to help.”

David Pennington trains in advance of his 2,700-km run from the U.S.-Mexico border to Vancouver. Above right, Pennington and a local volunteer clean garbage in Raja Ampat. Pennington, a former investment advisor in White Rock, became aware of the garbage situation in Raja Ampat during a two-month kayaking trip he took in the area over a year ago. “I’d always wanted to kayak there – it’d been on my list for years – and I just thought it sounded like an amazing place,” he explained. “While I was there, I noticed this issue, and because I’d quit my job, I thought I’d have the time to tackle it.” In Raja Ampat, Pennington found another local – a tour guide he’d hired named Remmy – who shared his concerns. Between the two of them, they began getting the word

out to locals about the problem, while also planning to come up with a solution. Meanwhile, his website, Friendly Drifter (www.friendlydrifter.com) – which originally began as a spot to review and recommend home-stays in the area, for fellow travellers – soon morphed into the hub for his fundraising project. Residents there – especially the younger generation – want to find a solution, Pennington said. During his visit, he was interviewed by a local journalist about his plans to help, and reaction was so positive that 150 local volunteers showed up to help clean up the town of Waisai, the region’s major centre.

Pennington admits he doesn’t yet know the costs associated with developing a wastemanagement strategy for the region, though in the future he hopes to consult with experts to come up with a proposal that will work. In the meantime, he will lace up for his run – which he aims to do along the Pacific Coast Highway, as much as possible – while also stopping along the way to build fundraising support. During his trek, his partner in the endeavour – girlfriend Kate Sullivan – will drive ahead ahead in their van, drumming up support through local media along the way. Sullivan is also a registered nurse, Pennington added, should he need any medical attention during the run. One-hundred per cent of the funds raised will support the Friendly Drifter Foundation, he said. He is covering all costs associated with the run, and he is also searching for sponsorship. So far, Choices Market is on board, he added. The run it something that, as recently as January, was still up in the air, he said. During a second visit to Indonesia in December, Pennington – who’d been training in earnest for months – contracted malaria, which sent him to the sidelines for three weeks. “That was a close one, so I’m happy to be here,” he said. “The run was questionable at that point. I lost about 50 per cent of my strength and about 20 pounds of muscle – the first run I went on afterward was only one kilometer, and I had chest pains and could barely do it. I had to start again from Square 1.” With the illness now behind him, Pennington said he is looking forward to the challenge in the same way he stared down the Ironman and cycling trek of his past. “I just think you learn so much about yourself when you put yourself in these types of situations,” he said. “I just like to learn about myself and see if I can push myself to pace I didn’t think I could get to. It’s amazing what happens when you get there – there’s no better feeling in the world, setting a big goal for yourself and accomplishing it.”

Hearing aids an ‘amazing’ gift

Brandy Breault, a hearing-instrument practitioner at HearingLife in White Rock, examines Joseph Pellerin before fitting him with hearing aids.

A White Rock residential development was among several local projects that were honoured this month at the 2016 Georgie Awards, recognizing the best in the province in housing and construction. The Royce – a five storey, 80-unit development on Thrift Avenue that was completed last spring by White Rock-based Forge Properties – took home awards for Best Multi-Family Low Rise Development, Best Interior Design Display Suite and Residential Community of the Year at the 24th annual Georgies, hosted by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of B.C. South Surrey’s Zenterra Developments won Best Sales Centre for their Hyde Park Phase 1 display office at Grandview Corners as well as

hearing aids through the province’s Workplace Safety and Insurance Board was rejected. Since then, Pellerin has lived with his hearing disability. And though he is younger than many who require hearing aids, his story was what prompted HearingLife’s Brandy Breault, a hearing-instrument practitioner, to nominate him through the company’s Campaign for Better Hearing. The campaign donates $4 for every hearing test administered by the company – which is headquartered in Ontario – and the proceeds

The Royce took home several honours at the Georgie Awards.

On Wednesday morning, sitting in a small room at HearingLife in White Rock, Joseph Pellerin was – for the first time in years – able to fully hear the world around him. Just moments earlier, the 57-yearold Semiahmoo Peninsula resident had been fitted with hearing aids in each ear as the first local recipient through HearingLife’s countrywide Campaign for Better Hearing. “It’s like night and day. It’s amazing,” Pellerin said of the sudden change. “It’s great – my friends won’t have to yell at me anymore.” Pellerin suffered hearing loss in both ears as a result of a 25-year career as a heavy-equipment and crane operator. The on-the-job noise – which he described as “like working every day under the hood of a car” – is something you eventually get used to, he said, but it progressively took his toll. “You’d just have earplugs in working in the crane, that’s it, but they’d always fall out, and you couldn’t exactly lean over and search around in your feet while you’re hoisting something up that weighs 10 tons, so you just keep going,” he explained. Pellerin worked for most of his career in Ontario – and is, in fact, moving back to his home province next month – but his application for

are used to provide hearing aids for those who cannot afford them. Last year, the Betting Hearing initiative raised $100,000 and this year is aiming to reach the $250,000 mark. The campaign also aims to raise awareness of hearing loss and encourage Canadians to receive proper assessments. As part of the campaign, anyone over the age of 60 can receive a free baseline-hearing test at any participating HearingLife clinic. “Our goal is to test everyone over 60 years old,” Breault said.

the Grand Georgie Award for Multi-Family Builder of the Year. Homestar Building Corp. in Surrey won Best Custom Home ($1.5 - $3 million) for the company’s work on a Langley residence. Surrey’s Jaheny Custom Builders were given the Best Landscape Single Family award for their work on the Tuscan Reflections development. Vancouver-based Kliewer Bros. Construction won Best Innovative Feature for their work on a White Rock residence on the waterfront, called Galadriel. The Georgie Awards – selected by a panel of out-of-province industry professionals – were handed out March 11 in Vancouver at a gala attended by more than 600 people.

Many moods of the waterfront provide endless scope for photographers

hite Rock has been in the viewfinder since the days the first trees came down and the seaside settlement began to grow alongside the Great Northern line. The iconic white rock itself, the 1913 pier alongside the station, the waters along the gentle curve of Semiahmoo Bay, the backdrop of mountains to the east – they’ve all been featured in countless photographs, amateur and professional, ranging from family snapshots to laboriously-achieved artistic studies. And yet for all the exposure – and exposures – the White Rock waterfront has somehow not become stale as a subject. Professional photographers both on the Peninsula and further afield – for whom landscape images of White Rock continue to be a marketable commodity – agree that there are two main reasons for this. One is the very nature of the subject itself – White Rock has a magical ability to reveal itself in an infinite variety of moods, depending

on weather, cloud formations, light quality and time of day. That leaves plenty of scope for photography, ranging from the colourdrenched digital images of Bill Hawke, to artful compositions by such photographers as Keith Franks, Derek Hayes and Doug Nealy, to the rich textures of black and white studies by Marilyn Trenchard and Lisa Bertsch. The other reason is the resonance such images have for the viewer – whether a longtime resident or a recent visitor.

White Rock resident Trenchard (www. mtrenchardphoto.com) said that’s definitely a factor in keeping local shots in her catalogue (her pictures are among those on sale at the White Rock Museum and Archives gift shop on Marine Drive) – among them older images she first shot on a large-format film camera years ago and which she has since had scanned digitally for ease of reproduction. “I’ve been down at the beach selling photos for well on 20 years now,” she said. “And you meet the most amazing people. People come from Australia, for instance, who want to take home a piece of White Rock with them, or there are others who used to live in White Rock, and they’re now living in Calgary or down East somewhere and they want something that represents White Rock to them.” The fact remains that through photography – whether using old or new technology, or whether taking a realistic or impressionistic approach – memories and impressions can be focused into a single potent image. Ultimately, it’s all about what that image i see page 22

Peace Arch News creative-services artist Catherine Sheppard’s personal art work has received prestigious recognition from her peers. Her Symphony of Feathers – a vivid and exquisitely detailed pastel portrait of a preening Sandhill Crane – graces the cover of the March-April edition of Art Avenue, a Federation of Canadian Artist’s publication. The pastel received first prize of $500 in Artist’s Choice contest judged in February, and open to some 2,000 artists in the federation, Catherine of which she is Sheppard also an associate member. “About 65 people can get into the show, for which the venue is the Federation Gallery on Granville Island,” Sheppard said. “To win is marvellous, but to get first prize and a cover – I was pretty pleased,” she said. Sheppard, who only took up pastels six years ago, has also worked in oils and watercolour. She is also a member of the Pastel Artists of Canada and the South Delta Artists Guild and participates frequently in shows at the Federation Gallery and the guild’s Gallery 1710 in Tsawwassen.

arts & entertainment Players club production brings box office boost

Boeing tops ticket sales Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Get ready for SPRING!

Boeing Boeing – which closed March 19 at Coast Capital Playhouse – now stands as the top ticket seller for the White Rock Players Club over the past five years, outside of the annual Christmas pantomime. Publicist Tom Gage said the sex farce, directed by Ryan Mooney, was playing to 77.7 per-cent full houses, based on a seating capacity of 218 in the theatre including the balcony. That even exceeds the houses for last year’s pantomime, Cinderella (76.7 per cent), as well as the most successful non-panto show in recent years, 2012’s Drinking Alone, directed by Susanne de Pencier (69.4 per cent). The current houses are good news for the financially-beleaguered club, which finished fis-

Time spent photographing bridges, gardens improves artist’s work

‘Solitudes’ shows growth Tom Zillich Black Press

Scarlet Black loves to photograph local flora and fauna, but she’s also fond of focusing her camera on the bridges near her Surrey home. “I can see both bridges from my house,” she said. “Actually, I’ve got a good series of photographs of the SkyTrain bridge particularly. I take pictures of that when it’s really misty and you have that vanishing point and it looks like it’s from another world, even though it’s Surrey.” Some images Scarlet Black of the transit photographer span are part of her “Solitudes” series, on view at Newton Cultural Centre for the rest of March in a joint exhibit with fellow Surrey-based photographer Jim Hatch. Black’s work at the gallery includes toned monochrome and softly coloured photographs – “mostly about mood, memory and contemplation, and the feel is calmness,” she explained. Over the past two years, Black photographed and blogged about

‘I can go down practically every day and get a different view’ i from page 17 evokes in the viewer, Hawke (www. bhawkeyephotography.com) agreed. “That’s the whole reason behind what I do,” he said, noting that the ‘shot of the day’ feature on his website seems to be eagerly scanned by people who have moved away from the city. “Every day they look forward to it, so I try to post something for them.” A longtime Cloverdale resident before he moved to White Rock a decade ago, Hawke says that his current location, just above the beach, means he has been able to turn around really quickly on unusual or dramatic weather and lighting conditions he has seen from his window, since he first started exploring photography seriously three years ago. He’s frank to say that he uses a Photomatics software program to enhance originals he takes with a Canon 60Z, sometimes blending together HDR images for a “really high-def look.” While he’s aware that some old-school photographers may decry the use of such techniques, he doesn’t really care, he said. “That’s my little niche,” he said. “I do it for the pleasure of people who like to look at the images.” His most celebrated image recently – and probably one of the most unusual photographic views of White Rock – was his shot taken from the pier, during the March 11 windstorm, of crashing waves looming over the old station building occupied by White Rock Museum and Archives, that appeared in Peace Arch News the next day. “That picture went far,” he said, noting that it was picked up by media across Canada and around the world. “It really went crazy – it got me a lot of attention.” Seeing the storm developing, he had already walked out onto the pier before city officials closed it to the public that morning, he said. “I was the only one around. The fire chief was booting me off the pier, so I just took

she said. “You have to be happy with what you have and what you get – I think that comes from portraiture, where you don’t usually get to pick and choose your subjects.” Franks (keithfranks.squarespace.com), who lives in the Cloverdale area, said he appreciates living close to White Rock because it allows him to get set up for shooting very early in the day, when the beach is largely deserted. “It’s always changing down there – I can go down practically every day and get a different view.” Also a Canon SLR user, Franks says that sunrises and sunsets viewed from the beach provide vivid vistas that can often seem as though they’re faked. “Some people can’t believe it’s actually a shot that I got,” he laughed. “Usually I shoot wide-angle or telephoto and try to get different angles and perspectives that wouldn’t be expected.” With more time to pursue photography since he retired in 2011 from a 50-year career as a finishing contractor, he has also used software to create photography-based art pieces. “For me people are the challenge – I like to keep them out of the photographs – although once in a while you’ll get a shot where it’s good to have one or two people in it,” he said. “Sometimes I have to be very patient.” Trenchard agreed that patience is a virtue for the photographer taking White Rock landscapes – and the ability to be flexible, rather than stick stubbornly to a fixed idea. “A couple of years ago, one January, I wanted to capture the pier in fog. I went down there several mornings and it was either so foggy you couldn’t see a foot in front of you, or the fog had lifted. “On the third day, the fog had lifted, but it had been really cold that night and there was lots of frost and the lights on the pier were still on – it was a case of going down for something and coming away with something even better.”

Valley West now awaits winner of Alberta league championship

Hawks tame Cougars to claim B.C. title Rick Kupchuk Black Press

After blowing a two-goal lead early in the third period Saturday night at the South Surrey Arena, the Valley West Hawks played like champions. Leading 1-0 in the best-of-three BC Hockey Major Midget League final, the Hawks shrugged off the loss of their lead and regrouped to dominate the last 15 minutes of the game, and score five unanswered goals and clinch a provincial championship with a 9-4 victory.

Semiahmoo Minor Hockey alum wraps up junior-hockey career SOUTH SURREY RECREATION

Cox ready to take next step

Barre Strength and Stretch 11 Sessions $69.50 W 7:00am-8:00am Apr 6 4458536 South Surrey Recreation & Arts Centre

Rick Kupchuk Black Press

When the Vancouver Giants took to the ice for their final home game of the season last Friday night in the Pacific Coliseum, it was the last time Trevor Cox suited up for a Western Hockey League game in front of friends and family. The 20-year-old from Surrey just completed his over-age season in the WHL this year. With the Giants missing the playoffs, Cox won’t have a chance to participate in the WHL postseason tournament for a fifth time in as many seasons. “I have no regrets,” said the five-foot-eight left winger, a Semiahmoo Minor Hockey alum who was traded to Vancouver from the Medicine Hat Tigers, where he played for the first four seasons of his WHL career. “I just remember when I started, a veteran told me to enjoy it because it goes by so fast. And he was right, I played five years and it went by so quick.” Coxs was just 16 when he went to Medicine Hat, making the jump to major-junior hockey from the BC Hockey Major Midget League’s Valley West Hawks. He improved his goal total each year in Medicine Hat, scoring 10 goals in his rookie season, then

Trevor Cox recently wrapped up his final season of junior hockey. putting up season totals of 16, 25 and 29. His point totals also went up year-by-year with the Tigers, and last year had his best season as a junior with 109 points. After scoring four times and adding four assists in six games with the Tigers this season, he was sent to Vancouver in a trade. As a Giant, he had 13 goals and 51 points in 48 games. “The trade caught me by surprise,” Cox admitted. “But it was good. I could go to practice in Delta and be home with my family 20 minutes later.” Although his numbers didn’t match those of his final two seasons in Alberta, Cox has

been able to reach some benchmarks. He recently reached the 200-assist and 300-point plateaus, and is three goals hey of 100 career goals. “I’m proud of the milestones I’ve achieved,” he said. “Whatever happens next season, I know I gave it my best.” Next season is an unknown for Cox. Undrafted, he may be offered a professional contract at the minor league level over the summer. “I’m not worried about next season. A few things might happen, but I’m not concentrating on it.”

compete at Canadian Masters Curling Championships April 4-10 in Kings Country, N.S. after taking top spot at 2016 BC Master Women’s Curling Championships in Abbotsford earlier this month. Lepine’s team will be looking for a second national title in a row, having also won the Canadian masters showdown last year. At the eightteam provincials in Abbotsford, Lepine’s rink placed second after round-robin play with a 6-1 winloss record, which set up a playoff against a New Westminster rink skipped by Kathy Smiley – the only team they’d lost to previously. The match was a close one, with Team Lepine earning the victory in an extra end. The win gave the Clovedale crew a bye to the finals, while Smiley’s team won its way back into the championship contest with a 6-3 win in semifinals. As was the case in the first two games, the final was another close one, with Lepine stealing one point in the extra end to claim a 6-5 win. – Nick Greenizan

Pacific region series begins in April “Once we scored that goal I knew we had it.” Evanish, Bruce, Farren and Luka Burzan were the goal scorers in Friday night’s win. As BC Hockey Major Midget League champions, the Hawks were presented with the Cromie Memorial Cup for the first time in team history. “I’m immensely proud of our players, coaching staff and parent group. Winning the Cromie wasn’t an accident, it was the sum total of our hard

work and dedication,” said Leung. The Hawks will now travel to Alberta for a Pacific region best-of-three series against the Alberta AAA Midget Hockey League champions. The Llloydminster Bobcats lead the Foothills Bisons of Strathmore 2-0 in their best-offive final.

OVATION AWARD FINALISTS

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

2016

Ovation Award finalists lead the way for home building across Metro By Nicolle Hodges

Whether a home is built in the heart of a busy city or the suburbs of Langley, comfort and convenience will never go out of style. For the seventh year, the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) is looking for leaders upping the ante of design and innovation, and shaping the future of housing in our region. On March 9, the finalists were announced for the 2016 Ovation Awards, which recognizes excellence in new-home construction, residential renovations and design in Metro Vancouver. GVHBA Chief Executive Officer, Bob de Wit, says, for many companies, an Ovation Award win means adding credibility to their work, increasing industry and consumer awareness, and setting themselves apart from their competition. For builders from smaller communities, like Langley, Aldergrove, and Pitt Meadows, this is another opportunity to showcase the contemporary projects being built in suburban communities. “Homes have all the high-tech conveniences and style of any

downtown condominium but with more square-footage, which is desirable to many homebuyers,” he says. “These builders are showing consumers there is limitless possibilities when it comes to buying, building or renovating their homes, and they can look at the many communities throughout Metro Vancouver to find their perfect space.” Over the years, the awards have evolved with the demands of the residential construction industry. This adaptability is recognized in their diverse criteria, some of which award points for environmental considerations, neighbourhood integration, and accessibility to transit. Organizers also recognize that it’s equally important to acknowledge leaders in innovation, as it is to highlight those who do impeccable renovations on already constructed homes. “Whether a new-home builder or renovator, what we do with housing stock now will affect future generations,” says de Wit.

Once again, the People's Choice Award is highly anticipated. It’s a wildcard among the other categories, which depend on judges to determine the winner. This unique category provides an opportunity for the public to have their say and cast their vote to determine the recipient. The People’s Choice Award also reflects the influence that consumers have on the industry as a whole, from design to final product. “You never know who the winner will be,” says de Wit.

BEFORE ▶

This year’s theme is “sizzlin’ kitchens.” “Every home, no matter the size, has a kitchen,” he says. “Kitchens are the heart of the home. It is usually the central hub of home life, where friends and family share a meal, kids finish homework as they chat with their parents, and the space to express one's inner chef.” While kitchens have been around since the beginning of home construction, it’s functionality and the diversity of the space has really changed. “There are some kitchens, as you will see in the Ovation Awards, that have windows/doors that completely open to connect the indoors with the outdoors [like] an extension of their living

space,” de Wit says. “It is incredible to see what builders, renovators, designers and architects are doing to change how we think about kitchens.” For the seventh year in a row, FortisBC is the presenting sponsor, and the patron sponsor is once again the Homeowner Protection Office, branch of BC Housing. To see the full list of finalists and their project photos, or to vote for your favourite new or renovated kitchen for the People’s Choice Award, visit www.ovationawards. ca. The winners of the 2016 Ovation Awards, including People’s Choice, will be announced at the Awards Gala on Saturday, April 23 at the Vancouver Marriott Pinnacle Downtown.
