Anti-gang squad reveals weapons, drugs and cash seized during a search of White Rock house
Police raid uncovers firearms cache A bounty of weapons, cash and drug paraphernalia was seized during last week’s search of a White Rock home, police announced this week. In a news release issued Wednesday afternoon, investigators with the Mounties’ antigang unit list a Kriss Vector .45 ACP rifle, a loaded Smith and Wesson handgun and a Browning Deringer handgun as among six weapons seized from a home and vehicle in
the 800-block of Parker Street as part of the May 3 operation. More than nine kilograms of compressed heroin and cocaine, 408 grams of crystal methamphetamine, 27 bottles of “Ephedrine HCL”, approximately $7,000 cash, 773 rounds of ammunition and a quantity of unknown tablets and powder were among other items discovered in the process. “Test results have now confirmed the pres-
ence of fentanyl in the house,” the release states. “Investigators will now await the results on the analysis of the majority of the unknown powders.” Officers with the Mounties’ Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit, with assistance from White Rock RCMP and the Lower Mainland District Emergency Response Team, descended on a blue, twoi see page 4

Role reversal after neglected Dalmatian finds forever home and shares the love
Healing process hits home for Zoë, Diane Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
When Diane Malo and husband John adopted 3½-year-old Zoë, the South Surrey couple knew that the mini-Dalmatian needed to heal from a life of neglect. The dog’s journey from fearful to fun-loving in the months since her rescue last summer
was recognized last Friday with an Animal Courage Award, and the dog lovers’ role in that progress is undeniable. But Malo never predicted just how much of an impact Zoë would have on her own healing. In March – six months after adopting Zoë, and on the Malos’ 36th anniversary – John died unexpectedly at age 68.
“It’s been tough, but I must say, Zoë is just so tuned in,” Malo said Tuesday. “Anytime we need a bit of affection, she’s just right up there. “When we first had her, those first six months, we were just trying to do everything to help her adjust, to gain confidence and to face some of her fears. I think she really did a lot of healing i see page 4 Now Ope Open 7 days per week! week

In an email not meant for public consumption, a Surrey councillor is taking direct aim at the province for lack of leadership when it comes to funding schools. Last week, Coun. Barbara Steele sent the email to a Surrey resident, responding “NO LEADERSHIP.” The email appeared to be a misstep, with Steele replying to the resident instead of forwarding it to someone else, as she intended. The resident, who asked to remain unnamed, provided Black Press with a copy of the May 4 email exchange. In it, she complained to Steele about a planned 181-townhome project for 5750 Panorama Dr. Barbara Steele and the impact it targets province will have on further stressing already-overcrowded schools. “I attended a (Surrey city) council meeting on May 2 and admit experiencing shocking disappointment at the leadership, or lack thereof, displayed there,” the resident wrote in an email to Steele. i see page 10

White Rock proposal located just south of town-centre zoning
No support for ‘premature’ 17-floor tower Alex Browne & Melissa Smalley Staff Reporters
A major development permit application for a 17-storey residential highrise on White Rock’s lower Johnston Road – half-a-block south of the city’s town centre – has received a tepid-at-best initial reaction from members of council. At Monday’s land use and planning committee meeting, several described the application as “premature” at a time when the city’s Official Community Plan review is still pending. The 138-unit development, proposed by the Salterra Group, would include three-tofour storeys of commercial and residential “podium fronting” at the site, 1350 Johnston Rd., currently home to Deals World. As part of an update report on current development applications, acting planning and development services manager Eric Shaw told the committee the proposal
would require rezoning from commercial to comprehensive development, and an Official Community Plan amendment. The most outspoken reaction came from Coun. Helen Fathers. “This would be ill-advised to go forward,” she said, noting that, at present, “there has been no planning with regard to lower Johnston Road.” “If ever we were going to be shot, before, by the community, we would be shot for this one,” Fathers said. Coun. Lynne Sinclair noted the proposal is very different from another application presented to the committee, a 23-storey, 204-unit seniors independent-living facility planned for Johnston and North Bluff roads, proposed by PARC Retirement Living. That one is within the town centre area, which is already pre-zoned for development up to 265 feet (25 storeys) in height. “I’m very pleased to see the PARC proposal
come forward,” Sinclair said, adding she feels it offers the kind of housing development that White Rock should be encouraging. “But I’m concerned about the nature of the one farther south,” she said. The Salterra property falls just outside of the town centre boundaries – which extend from North Bluff Road to Thrift Avenue, and Martin Street to George Street – and is currently zoned for a maximum of only 35.1 feet in height. In a corporate report about the development, staff note that as part of the current OCP review, which launched in February 2015, “the boundaries and relationships of the Town Centre and Town Centre adjacent areas will be considered.” Mayor Wayne Baldwin – while noting the Salterra Group “has owned that property for 20 years; they’ve been very patient” – agreed that it would be premature “when we’re on the verge of completing the OCP review.”
Proceeding further with the application at present would be “allowing the developer to amend the OCP for us,” he suggested. “We should wait for the OCP and see how it goes.” Staff are currently reviewing the development application, and a public-information meeting has been scheduled for May 31, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at White Rock Community Centre. Proponents for the PARC application, who initially announced the project in December at 19 storeys, presented a revised proposal to the economic investment committee last month, and said the decision to make the building “taller and thinner” came after discussions with city staff. A development permit application is expected to be submitted by PARC this week, with a public-information meeting scheduled for May 24, 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the community centre.

Charges anticipated against two i from page 1 storey home around 5:30 p.m. May 3. Members of the RCMP’s Clandestine Laboratory Enforcement and Response Team were called to assist in determining if the site was a clandestine drug lab. Staff Sgt. Lindsey Houghton told Peace Arch News the next day that the investigation had been ongoing for “about a couple months.”
i from page 1 in that time – now, the roles have just kind of reversed.” Zoë was among 35 dogs rescued last August from what BC SPCA officials described at the time as “disgusting” conditions – including improper access to food, water and shelter – at a south Cloverdale property. Sixteen horses and six cats were also seized that day. All of the animals were in various states of malnutrition, and horses’ hooves were “grossly overgrown.” Zoë had been kept with other dogs in crowded cages, with no room to turn around. When rescued, her head had scabs from rubbing against her crate. She was fearful of anything new; afraid to even go for walks, through doorways or on stairs. SPCA senior animal protection officer Eileen Drever told Peace Arch News in August that the individual associated with the seizure had been familiar to investigators “for 20 years.” Animal-cruelty charges were recommended in connection with the seizure, however, as of this week, none have been laid. Malo said it’s distressing to hear that people continue to subject animals to such conditions. “What breaks my heart is with all of these apprehensions, you keep hearing on the media that these people have had previous dealings with the BC SPCA,” she said. “It’s just so unfair to these animals.” BC SPCA chief prevention and enforcement officer Marcie Moriarty explained this week that the issue is a complex one, and that it could be helped by regulations around the puppy-mill industry. She said she is encouraged by ongoing consultation by the provincial government to change that. “The way the current act is

Two people – a 46-year-old man and a 31-yearold woman – were arrested at the home on the day of the search. As of Wednesday, the man remained in custody for breach of unrelated bail conditions, and the woman had been released on a promise to appear.

Zoë, shortly after she was seized last August by the BC SPCA. worded… we’re required to give the person an opportunity to relieve the distress,” Moriarty said. “Over and over, these people, they will comply. They just sit on that line… they know the law.” She said the public can help by buying animals only from breeders who can demonstrate compliance with regulations. “The solution to the suffering of dogs and cats in puppy and kitten mills lies in public education, regulation… and ensuring we aren’t supporting these operations with our dollars,” she said. At last week’s awards ceremony, the courage and resilience of animals like Zoë in overcoming their suffering, along with their capacity for forgiveness, was described as “so inspiring.” Malo said Zoë is still shy around men, and is startled by sudden movements or noise, but she has come a long way. If a visitor approaches with that in mind, “she’d probably lick your hand.” On walks and at the dog park, Zoë’s appreciation for her newfound freedom is obvious. “To watch her, she loves to just run, and she prances when I take her out on the trails,” Malo said. “That sense of freedom – think about for yourself, if you never had any freedom to get up and

walk around, get outside…” Zoë is Malo’s fourth rescue dog, and Malo admits it was her husband who convinced her to take the Dalmatian on. “I really wasn’t sure that I wanted to go through that again,” she said, referring to the heartbreak of losing her three previous dogs. “It didn’t take us any time before we were thoroughly in love with her.” Malo said she doesn’t hesitate to share how Zoë came into her life, “because it’s just such a success story for her.” “She should never have been put in the barn situation to begin with, but she’s been resilient,” she said. “It’s just so rewarding to see that tail wagging. When we first got her, that tail was always down between her legs. “Most of the time now, it’s just wagging as fast as it can.” And just as Malo was there when Zoë needed her, the pintsized pooch continues to return the favour when needed. “Every once in a while there’s something that just triggers a tear,” Malo said. “Even before… I can turn and look at her, and she’s already focused on me. I don’t know what it is, but she has some sense that I need her, and she’s right there.”

Cracking the code
W
hat White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin intended to accomplish this week when he introduced a proposed Code of Ethics and Conduct for Members of Council is not entirely clear. The document, tabled at a governance and legislation committee meeting Monday, was not well-received by his colleagues. All but Coun. Bill Lawrence, who chaired the committee and remained mum, said they had no intention of signing the agreement, the essence of which they felt was covered by their oath of office. Baldwin later explained the proposed code came about after complaints about the level of respect among council members. While it’s encouraging to see the mayor attempting to restore decorum to council – which has had more than a few squabbles this term – and equally as refreshing to see members of the White Rock Coalition assert individual independence, portions of the proposed code raise more questions. One highlight would prevent members of council from “any public or private criticism of our administration wherein individual employees are identified.” Should elected officials not be encouraged to speak out – whether in support or opposition – of city initiatives? Is that not, in part, what they are elected to do? Of course, city staff members do not deserve to be dragged through the mud, but that hardly means council members must remain silent on matters of city business. A quick look at the Marine Drive hillside, the overhaul of waste collection and the ongoing issue of highrise development, and we are reminded of the many divisive issues that warranted a much more critical – and public – debate by city leaders. Other commitments outlined in Baldwin’s code include referring complaints about council decisions or actions to the chief administrative officer for review and followup, and refraining from making commitments on behalf of council to groups or citizens. Had these rules been implemented, it would seem to be yet an additional communication roadblock between residents and the elected officials they trust. Whether the intent behind the covenant was a genuine step towards a more cohesive council, or an attempt to muzzle its members, we will risk being patronizing and remind all elected officials – as noted in one of the document’s bullet points – that they are to “make decisions… in the best interest of the citizens.”

In one photo, their detached garage is gone, the fire having gutted it. But their house – just feet from the garage – was still standing. Likely damaged from both smoke and heat, but standing nonetheless. In another photo, it is clear that a powerful stream of water had flowed down the driveway to the curb. Firefighters, one suspects, had made it there as the garage burned and were able to fight back the flames and save their home, as well as their neighbours’. And though their losses total in the thousands – nothing insurance shouldn’t cover – my two friends have repeatedly said how extraordinarily lucky they feel, both because the biggest wildfire in Alberta history stopped less than six feet from their back door, and because of the support they received from friends, family and strangers along the way. It must be an incredibly helpless feeling, watching your city burn from afar. While it will be some time before they’ll be able to return home and assess the damage for themselves, my friends are starting to settle into their new reality. They’ve moved to the southern part of the province for the next few weeks at least, and have started making back-towork plans. My lanky friend even had time this week to pick up a few new pairs of jeans, though truth be told, his flood-pants never seemed to bother him much. “Could be worse,” he said, after I’d sent him a text message poking fun at his evacuee-chic wardrobe. “Besides, I’ve got pants at home.” Nick Greenizan is a reporter at the Peace Arch News.

Sound views strike discord Editor: Re: Tracking potential rail solutions, May 6 letters. Chuck Hatler’s letter to the editor seems to suggest that homeowners just need to reinforce their windows and/or insulation in order to block the train noise. Really? Do we have to close our windows all year long, too? With all due respect to the letter writer, there is no reason why those horns need to be constantly blasting at all hours of the night and day! I have lived in White Rock for over 20 years both uptown and downtown, and the sound radiates regardless of where you live or what kind of structure you live in. My grandparents were also born and raised in White Rock, and the train tracks have always been there and the citizens just lived with it. But at no time were there loud train horns blasting away! Bells and whistles were always used back in the day so as to not wake up the dead and give us all our right to quiet enjoyment, but the powers that be wanted that changed and we are now where we are at today. I think letter-writer Dennis Smith in the same edition said it best, in that thousands of dollars have now been spent “building safer crossings and enough fencing to please Donald Trump… however, the blasting continues.” Perhaps it’s time pedestrians started taking some responsibility in being more vigilant and the train conductors in following BNSF’s own posted signs that clearly states “trains will not sound their horns between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.” Why not also use bells and whistles when required, as they worked for many years with no casualties? It seems highly unfair to assume that homeowners should have to make all the sacrifices in every sense of the word. Cheryl Berti, White Rock Q At last a solution all the way from Kansas City, Mo. from a retired BNSF employee, solidly unbiased and enjoying our train drama. Regarding the folks who complain about the train noise, letterwriter Chuck Hatler suggests the complainers most probably have leaky windows and/or insufficient insulation. And if they live on the hillside, they should expect more noise of the trains. What a revelation… How could we have been so ignorant, so stupid, all these years? It is not the train, not the drivers hanging on the horn while everybody sleeps, not Warren Buffet… it is us, the stupid people of White Rock, who have those milliondollar homes with leaky windows. It took Hatler one visit of the window company to his house, when the trucks on a nearby highway woke him up and only one window was replaced. And he has slept peacefully ever since. By the way, Mr. Hatler, did that nearby highway go through your front lawn as our train does, do those trucks have horns that are
designed to blow cattle off the tracks and do the drivers – many of them – hang on those horns while there is hardly any reason for it? Of course, some of them are decent enough to pass through White Rock without blowing their horn a single time during the night; thank you to those guys. From my concrete house on the hillside, with special, Low-E, doubleglazed windows and 13-inch walls, I’m disgusted every time a train goes past, grinding my teeth about the shortsightedness of the people who sold this piece of coastline and the NDP official who could have cancelled the project and did not. Come on, Mr. Hatler, get real. Jacob Besteman, White Rock Q Re: Clock chimes irk resident, May 6. Maybe it’s time to remind people that they choose to live in this lovely community with trains and chimes from the clock tower. They don’t have to. They choose to. Or move. No big deal just quit complaining about the littlest of things in a beautiful place. Dione Bitzer, White Rock Q We just moved here to the Five Corners area and love the clock tower and the bell chime. We hope no one turns them off. Just like living near an airport or train line, you get used to the sounds. Phil Allan, White Rock
Q Three potential rail solutions for the complainers in White Rock: One, move out of the area. The rail line has been in this area for decades. Accept that it is part of the White Rock culture – a tourist attraction – or move on! Insofar as BNSF blowing their horn before entering the city, they are damned if they do, and damned if they don’t, should some idiot be on the tracks and maimed or killed if the horn were not sounded. As I see it, the safety structure for BNSF passing through White Rock is the best I’ve ever seen – and I’ve lived near many train stations. Two, why should the majority of taxpayers in White Rock/Surrey foot the bill for millions – perhaps even billions – of dollars (Cities present four rail-route options, Nov. 28, 2013) just to gratify the few along the rail line that might be annoyed? And three, any serious consideration of moving these tracks is simply mind-blowing stupidity and a joke. Give it a break! But now, folks, read on to Page 10 of the Peace Arch News, an article titled “Clock chimes irk resident” – because the woman is disturbed in the afternoon, wanting to just “read in silence” and mentions the possible concerns of hospital shift workers and other retirees. Tears are now flowing from my eyes! Why does this end up in print? Gerry Dwyer, Surrey
Grateful for scam advice Editor: Re: Income tax-arrest scam continues, May 4. I wanted to thank Peace Arch News regarding the informative article about income-tax scammers that have been viciously victimizing so many innocent people. The scammers randomly phone victims and fraudulently represent themselves as Revenue Canada officers demanding immediate funds. I received one of these phone calls earlier this year, which caused me a fair amount of stress. I was grateful for available resources that helped me flag the caller as a scam. The scammers use blatant threats, but they also use a professional manner that makes the threats believable. It is almost as if they have consulted a psychologist to help them write their dialogue in a manner to take advantage of the human psyche by triggering specific anxieties. The scammers are cowardly but very intelligent and, as it says in Tracy Holmes’ article, it is difficult to catch the scammers because they utilize technology that make it difficult to trace the calls. Unfortunately, I can see how many people could fall victim to this scam. Colin Fletcher, White Rock

City of White Rock’s decision to clear the hillside of foliage last year (left) seems shortsighted months later (right).
We pay while city fails to plan Editor: I wonder why the City of White Rock does not spend our tax dollars more effectively. Last fall, White Rock spent considerable money in an attempt to eradicate the local invasive blackberry bushes on the Marine Drive hump. This spring, they have grown back twice as thick. I’m wondering if the plan is to repeat this waste of money again and again until their three-year plan comes to fruition. Is this going to be an annual waste of funds, and to what extent is it achieving any long-term solution? I’ve attached pictures of what the hillside looked like after they spent the money last fall and what it looks like today. Any work done has gone down the drain. A second area of concern relates to their ability to perform any level of proper project management. There are several elements to project management missing from a long-term solution for the White Rock hillside: • Identifying and disclosing measurable objectives at the outset; • Proactive – rather than reactive – stakeholder communication of the objectives, including the budget; • Having an overall plan, versus developing annual
tactics to get them thru the next step. What’s the plan for the eyesore that has been waiting to get cleaned up for the last six months? (Lack of city plan surprises enviro adviser, Feb. 19) Planting the idea of a paved parking lot (‘Hump parking’ memo surprises council, March 1) and then announcing it will be another three years before they have the project completed. You certainly didn’t hear that last year when they reactively communicated what they were doing (We should have had bluff plan: Baldwin, June 3). You also don’t get the feeling that BNSF Railway – a key stakeholder – has been involved in any meaningful planning sessions (Hillside answers sought, May 20, 2015). Maybe they should be investing in someone who has this skill set or understands the process to actually assemble and manage a plan. I have lived in White Rock for 26 years. The last few years, the city has seen a significant deterioration in the quality of municipal management and fiscal responsibility of spending taxpayer dollars. Maybe it is time to hand it over to Surrey to do a better job. Dave Ludwar, White Rock

However, Duggal’s son, Gurk, said last Friday that has not been the case. “It’s end of the lease and they’re not renewing it. The landlord doesn’t even want to meet (with) me.” Messages left by PAN for the landlord – both in March and last week – were not returned. Gurk Duggal said 1,500 signatures have been collected in support of keeping the store at the site. If the lease isn’t renewed, it will be the end of the family business, he said. The store has been in the community for 14 years; the Duggals have owned it since 2010, he said.
Staff Reporter
Rosemary Heights residents are rallying behind owners of their neighbourhood corner store, following news the business’s lease would not be renewed. “We need to do something here,” said Lorraine Klassen, who routinely brings her grandchildren to the Rosemary Heights Market. “Every neighbourhood has a community store.” Owners of the market, located at 3388 Rosemary Heights Cresc., learned earlier this year that the latest lease, which expires June 30, would not be renewed. In late March, Gurdeep Duggal – in declining to go public with the issue at the time – told Peace Arch News the situation was “a big headache for

Steele stands by B.C. criticisms i from page 1 The Surrey councillor wrote an email in response the same day, but it was apparently meant for someone else. “Don’t agree with her comments but once again NO LEADERSHIP,” Steele said from her iPhone at 3:55 p.m. The resident thought Steele was talking about Mayor Linda Hepner and pressed for clarification. Steele responded at 5:08 p.m., saying her comment was directed squarely at the province. “The leadership or lack thereof was being directed at the Province,” Steele wrote. “I do want to reassure you though that as a Councillor, the concerns you have for the students are my concerns too. Children in SURREY have been in portables for too long.” Steele goes on to say that her son, who is now 40 years old, went to school in portables. The connection between breakneck development and the lack of school space – a longstanding issue in Surrey – has reached a flashpoint in the city, with the school board at its last meeting calling on council to halt new development in Clayton, Newton and Grandview/South Surrey. Steele told Black Press Wednesday that her email was sent to the resident in error, but she said she stands behind her criticism of the province. “The leadership is lacking from the province as to what we’re

Semiahmoo Secondary’s Innovation Club aims to encourage creativity
Students hope to inspire with science Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
T
here’s a demand for events that challenge students to solve problems, and a group of friends at Semiahmoo Secondary believe they have the answer. Grade 11 students Terry Wang, Jackie Dong, Steven Yang, Tyler He and Frank Fei said the Semiahmoo Innovation Club is about encouraging their peers to “inquire, inspire, innovate.” It’s about science, but not the kind found at most large-scale science competitions – those, the teens say, tend to be more about memorizing facts. “You’re going to somewhere far away to take a test with your friends,” He said. “I’ve been in science competitions and it started to feel like the same thing. That novelty starts to die off. “We’re trying to get away from all of the paperwork and go to more of the creative
side.” At Semiahmoo Innovation Club, which formed in the fall of 2014, it’s about using imagination to innovate; about taking a problem and solving it using the most basic of items – such as popsicle sticks and elastic bands – and teamwork. At an event last May, the teens challenged “everyone who loves building and science” to build two devices – a launcher and a flying
device – which were then tested for power and accuracy through game play. Next up is an event on May 30, which is a school professional day. Dubbed Airstrike, it will involve a tennis ball, an angled wire and a target. Open to students of all grades, club members say Airstrike is also their first time expanding the competition to include students from nearby South Surrey schools. The free, three-hour event is to include brainstorming, planning, designing, building, testing and gameplay in the high school’s small gym. Opening up the competition beyond Semi is “our first step to connect other schools,” He said. He noted that everyone who enters, regardless of previous experience or knowledge, has “a really good, fighting chance of winning.” The teens say the expansion is also an effort to recruit new members to the club; to

ensure its events and legacy continues. Their goal is to see it become a credit program. The club has already grown since its inception, from a team of three to a core group of 10 backed by school funding. When no events are in the works, meetings focus on finding and solving problems that exist within the school. One issue the students worked on last year aimed to increase security of gym lockers. “It’s all about ideas,” Dong said. Fei agreed, noting it’s “possible to do incredible things with limited resources.” He (Tyler) described it as “science with a cause.” “We want to help students realize they have an amazing amount of potential,” he said. “You don’t have to be an academic genius to change the world. You just have to take the step and create.” For more information or to sign up for the Airstrike event, visit innovatesemi.com

Surrey Board of Trade showcases local businesses
‘Hidden jewels’ toured Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A pair of businesses in South Surrey were among more than a dozen highlighted last Friday, during the Surrey Board of Trade’s annual whirlwind effort to showcase innovative organizations. Travelling on a trio of themed buses – Prince, reggae and ’80s – tour participants were introduced to some of the city’s “hidden jewels,” SBOT president Anita Huberman said. “We try to make it fun, but the whole purpose of the tour is to really showcase the innovative business in our city.” Businesses in Cloverdale, Campbell Heights and City Central were all on the tour – from HealthTech Connex and Central City Brewing Company to Prabu Foods, Endurance Wind Power and Columbia Plastics, Ltd. In South Surrey, Pacific Customs Brokers Ltd. welcomed around two dozen SBOT members to its 1 Avenue complex near the truck border, walking
the group through its Highway Sufferance Warehouse, Overseas Freight Forwarding and brokerage components. Senior trade advisor Jan Brock – retired chief of commercial operations for Canada Border Services Agency – told Peace Arch News the “Type B” sufferance warehouse is unusual for the area. Used for short-term storage and examination of imported goods not yet released by CBSA, most are located inland, she said. “It’s probably the only B sufferance warehouse across the street” from a port, Brock said, noting the next closest is in Burnaby. “It’s an extension of the office across the street.” Border services officers have the same authority on the property as they do at the border, she added. On the brokerage side, operations manager Cherie Storms explained how the business offers everything from compliance consulting to help with goods declarations and making sure duties are paid.
Asked by one participant how a port strike might impact business, Storms described it as “a big problem.” “We’re the first ones that our clients phone,” she said. “Ultimately, when something doesn’t go right at the border, we are the ones to face the music.” PCB marketing co-ordinator Lisa Stevenson described the May 6 industry tour as something the company didn’t hesitate to get involved with. “A lot of people don’t know what we do,” Stevenson said, noting the role such operations play is larger than most people realize. “They play a significant role in the supply chain,” she explained. “Basically, everything you see on store shelves has been through a supply chain.” Huberman told PAN she encouraged all bus participants to “really spread the word” about what they saw.

Elgin Park student has plum role in Shakespeare classic
Et tu, Brute? Alex Browne
S
Arts Reporter
he may be pursuing a degree in communications at Simon Fraser University’s Burnaby campus in the fall, but Elgin Park student Raquel Neumann admits that acting is her dream. A member of Arts Umbrella’s senior youth theatre troupe, Neumann, 17, plays the plum role of Brutus in an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar at Arts Umbrella’s Theatre and Music Expression Festival, which runs until May 22 at the Waterfront Theatre, Granville Island. In the modern-dress, gender-neutral version of the timeless political parable of power, loyalty and betrayal, directed by Paul Moniz de Sa, Brutus is a ‘she’ – a concept that makes much more sense in a contemporary context than in Shakespeare’s own time. And Neumann says she is thoroughly enjoying the “complexity and intensity” of the play – and the conflicted nature of Brutus, conspirator in the assassination of the Roman emperor. “Brutus is one of the most exciting and challenging characters I’ve ever played,” she said. “She goes through so many things in the course of two hours; so many thoughts. I can’t imagine being involved in such a roller-coaster.” Swayed by the influence of Cassius (Bonnie Duff), Brutus comes to believe that Caesar’s willingness to assume total power poses a direct and intolerable threat to the underlying principles of their society. “For Cassius there’s more of a personal resentment, but for me (our action) is strictly political. I have been a fan of Caesar – as Brutus says, ‘I slew my best lover for the good of Rome.’ “ Being in the play has given her a lot of motivation to research and prepare, she said, including memorizing her monologues both in modern paraphrase and as Shakespeare wrote them, so that she could have a complete understanding of the meaning. “I’ve learned Shakespeare throughout high

Born at Peace Arch Hospital and a South Surrey resident all her life, Neumann has one sibling, her older brother Ellis. “He’s been to every show I’ve acted in,” she said. She’s been involved in Arts Umbrella drama programs since she was in Grade 8, but her interest in acting goes back even further, she said. “I started when I was in Grade 6 – I was an artistically inclined kid and did a lot of drawing and painting, but I was always bubbly and loud, so my parents thought drama would be a good thing for me.” She followed up her first private drama classes by winning a role in Chantrell Creek Elementary’s musical The Great Glass Slipper (“basically the story of Cinderella,” she said), when she was in Grade 7. But she missed doing productions at Elgin Park until she was in Grade 11. “I decided last year I would put myself though the ordeal of doing two plays at the same time,” she said. “I was doing Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None at Elgin and The Martian Chronicles at Arts Umbrella, basically going from one rehearsal to another.” Did she ever get lines from one play mixed up with lines from the other? “Luckily, no,” she laughed. “Fortunately the two plays were so different – but I was so afraid it was going to happen!” She’s also been trying her hand at film acting in Elgin Park student productions of late, and said she is also considering seeking an agent for more film work. “I don’t like to be typecast in the roles I play – I’d prefer to be known for being open to trying new things,” she said, noting that her most recent student film work, two linked music videos, saw her cast as a “psychotic stalker.” “It was super interesting, playing that,” she said. While she’d definitely like to continue acting, she’s also keen to explore career options through her Communications courses at Simon Fraser, she said – which could include everything from media advertising and film to journalism. “I love to write,” she said. “And while acting is my dream, realistically its good to have another plan to fall back on.” Julius Caesar, which alternates with four other student productions during the festival, will be performed May 14 at 9 p.m., May 19 at 9 p.m., May 21 at 7 p.m. (doubled billed with the Second World War drama Dangers of a Total War) and May 22 at 4 p.m. Tickets (including double bills) are $15.

Peninsula author Simon Choa-Johnston found story ‘gold’ on his own doorstep
Family mysteries inspire House of Wives novel Alex Browne Arts Reporter
Simon Choa-Johnston
Family secrets are almost always on a collision course with advancing years and impending mortality. Unless such mysteries are carried, unrecorded and unwhispered, to the grave, they will likely leave some residue of intriguing – sometimes downright provocative – artifacts to surviving family members. It’s evidence of that kind that
inspired Simon Choa-Johnston – retired artistic director of Richmond’s Gateway Theatre, – to investigate his own, singularly-convoluted, family background. And it should come as no surprise that the playwright (author of such acclaimed plays as Sisters, Rice Rockets & Yacht People, and Running Dog Paper Tiger and a Peninsula resident, with his wife Sheila, for the last two years), should end up using his
research to create a work of dramatic fiction inspired by historic fact. Just published by Penguin Random House Canada, Choa-Johnston’s novel The House of Wives, will be launched this Sunday, May 15, at 2 p.m. at a free-admission tea hosted by Peninsula Productions at their studio venue adjacent to the arena at Centennial Park (copies of the book, carried by Black Bond Books, will be available for sale and signing at the
event). The House of Wives is an exotic and compelling tale tracing the rivalry of two women for the affections of their husband – an opium merchant in colonial Hong Kong – in the latter half of the nineteenth century. That man was Emmanuel Belilios (Choa-Johnston’s own greatgrandfather) a young Jew from Calcutta who came to Hong Kong i see page 22

‘Once-in-a-lifetime story’ full of drama, family intrigue i from page 21 in 1862 to make his fortune, at a time when the opium trade was entirely legal. While his dutiful wife Semah remained in Calcutta, Emmanuel became a prosperous and respectable merchant in the city that became his new home, eventually falling for, and marrying Pearl Li, daughter of his business partner, and twenty years his junior. In Choa-Johnston’s richly evocative story, Emmanuel’s life with Pearl is shaken up
by the unannounced arrival of Semah in Hong Kong – and her determination to take her place as the mistress of his huge mansion, Kingsclere. While he has taken obvious artistic license to imagine events, conversations and motivations – the basic facts are a matter of historic record and family history, ChoaJohnston says. It was a story from which he was sternly excluded for a long time, he said. Born post-Second
World War in Hong Kong, he was descended from Emmanuel through his mother, Pauline Choa, who had married Thomas Johnston, a merchant from Shanghai. “When I was eight or 10 years old I asked my mother who her grandparents were. She told me, but the look she gave me told me to never ask that question again,” he said. That’s where the matter rested, he said, until much later on, when he was moving his mother (now deceased)

diary entries and photographs, related to those times, that I had never seen before.” Fascinated, he launched into a decade of research, including trips to Calcutta and Hong Kong, where Choa-Johnston was granted access to documents in the archive of the bank Emmanuel helped found, the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, which has evolved into the current HSBC. Hospitals and schools founded there by Emmanuel also still

Physical activity key to long, happy and healthy life By Dr. Azim Jamal For the first time in our nation’s history we have more people over 65 than under 15. With an increasing aging population, it’s more important than ever of seniors to consider the key elements of a long, healthy and happy life – one of these being physical activity. Physical activity is important at any age; however, as we get older it becomes increasingly important for health durability, mental health and overall quality of life. Research shows that people who are active have a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, depression and even

Through the aging process, it’s important to listen to your body and exercise at a rate that challenges you, but doesn’t exert you. Physical activity is classified as anything that gets your body moving. This can range from walking and gardening, to an exercise class, to basic arm exercises while seated in a chair. Ideally, research suggests that seniors you should try to do something physical every single day, even just for ten minutes. Remember, certain activities should be practiced under the supervision of a health care professional to ensure safety. As I previously mentioned, research shows that physical exercise can assist in warding off disease, and also act as a tool for prevention. In fact, for some cases, exercise is used as an effective form of

He acknowledges that he did some soulsearching in attempting to reach a dramatic ‘truth’ for the novel, particularly since the characters he is giving voice also happen to be his own ancestors.

Under-16 boys team looks to keep undefeated streak intact
Seaside set for Westerns Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
® ®
Got a tip or story idea?
Please email our newsroom at editorial@peacearchnews.com www.peacearchnews.com
A Semiahmoo Peninsula youth volleyball team has been on quite a roll this season, and is now eyeing a Western Canadian championship. Seaside Volleyball Club’s under16 boys team, the Surf – made up primarily of players from Elgin, Earl Marriott and Semiahmoo secondaries – is undefeated in its own age group, and has yet to even lose a set. They capped their run of great play with a provincial-title win last weekend at the Tradex Centre in Abbotsford. Later this month, the squad heads to Calgary to prove themselves against competition from other Western provinces. “It’s been quite a run,” said Seaside coach Dave Dooley. “It’s been a lot of fun. It’s incredible, really – I’ve never had
a team like this before.” Since the club volleyball season began – shortly after the highschool season ended in late fall – the only losses Dooley’s team has suffered have been in exhibition or tournament matches against older, under-18 teams. “Even in those tournaments, we were competitive,” he said. At provincial championships, Seaside was the top-seeded team, which, Dooley explained, afforded them the luxury of being put into a round-robin pool with lower seeds. The Peninsula crew made short work of their roundrobin competition and earned a bye through the round-of-16, before defeating Abbotsford’s Orangemen Volleyball Club in quarter-finals and Focus Volleyball Club in semifinals. The semifinal tilt gave the Seaside team its toughest test of
the season, Dooley said. Though the Surf won, they did need to mount something of a comeback in the second set, and it also marked the first time all season that an opponent scored more than 17 points against them. In the championship game, Seaside defeated Apex 2-0. Seaside’s Michael Dowhaniuk was named provincial MVP, while Malachi McMullin, Teo Arnadaz, Jordan Payne and Dowhaniuk were named league all-stars. Now, the Surf prepare for Westerns, where they’re expected to be among the top seeds again. Considering the season they’ve had to date, the target is to finish atop the podium, Dooley said. “That’s definitely the goal, but we also realize there are a lot of really good teams there, and there is a lot of work to be done to achieve that goal,” he said.

White Rock Divers head coach Scott Cranham and founder Bev Boys are excited about the future of the diving club, thanks to Cranham’s expertise and the new pool.
Scott Cranham ‘excited’ to work with White Rock club
Aiming to take divers to new heights Nick Greenizan
F
Sports Reporter
or a guy whose job title has an “interim” label attached to it, Scott Cranham gets awfully excited talking about the long-term future of the White Rock Divers club. The 61-year-old interim head coach has been living on the Semiahmoo Peninsula since December, arriving to “help out” the White Rock club for a while, after former head coach Grant Brehaut left his position to pursue a teaching career. “I’ll stay for sure through junior nationals in July, then maybe run some camps, and then we’ll see,” said Clanham, standing poolside at the club’s new home in Grandview last week. And though his time with the group is up in the air, there’s no doubt about his commitment level, nor his enthusiasm. Over
the course of conversation, the diving coach marvels at the Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre – “a great facility” – the White Rock Divers’ chance to expand, and his new home near the water on Crescent Beach – “a beautiful place.” “It’s been a real joy to come here. I think it’s a real exciting time for the club – it’s growing, we’ve got this great new facility… I think it’s a great chance for us to grow,” he said. Regardless of what he decides to do beyond the summer, there’s little doubt White Rock Divers founder Bev Boys would like to keep Clanham around well into the future. His resume, after all, speaks for itself. Clanham’s diving experience dates back decades, and he is one of Canada’s most decorated divers. The Toronto native is a 28-time senior national champion and was a member of three Canadian Olympic teams
– 1972 in Munich, 1976 in Montreal and 1980 in Moscow, which were boycotted by a number of countries including Canada. He is also a four-time medallist at the Commonwealth Games, and finished in the top eight at world championships on three different occasions. After the 1980 boycott, Cranham retired from competitive diving and, when it became clear there were no coaching jobs available in the Canadian diving community, Cranham chose to put his psychology degree to good use. For 20 years, Cranham worked as a family therapist in the Toronto area, but was eventually pulled back into the water when a Dive Canada opportunity a little further west became available. “There was a job opening in Calgary, and they asked me to come back into it,” he explained.
Clanham took them up on the offer, and moved to Alberta to work with Dive Calgary, and following that, with the Canadian national junior high-performance development program in Ottawa. “I did miss (diving), but now that I’ve been back, I miss my other job, too,” he explained. “They’re both very rewarding, but also very different.” Despite the obvious contrasts, Cranham is quick to point out that, in some ways, the two career paths are not without at least a few similarities. In both cases, he was dealing with young people, and his psychological background often comes in handy when dealing with a large number of athletes, each one of them unique. “I’m still organizing, still trying to change the culture to better the people I’m working with – whether it’s an emotionally disturbed i see page 28

Softball City gets boost in time for world championships
White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society invites you to our
Park upgrades showcased
‘Building a Home for Hope’ Campaign Launch
Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Organizers of this summer’s 2016 Women’s World Softball Championships held a media event Wednesday to show off a new-and-improved Softball City facility. The afternoon session – attended by reporters from Peace Arch News, Vancouver Province and CBC – saw tournament chairman Greg Timm detail all the work that has been underway at the park in recent months, adding a sparkling new look to what he referred to as “the jewel of softball in Western Canada.” In addition to media, officials from the World Baseball Softball Federation were on hand, touring the park in a separate group. Among the park improvements – reported by PAN in April – are new irrigation, dirt and turf at all four Softball City diamonds; new dugouts and seats at the main diamond; brighter lights at all diamonds; upgraded washrooms; and a new backstop on the main diamond which drastically improves previous sight lines for spectators. As well, Timm said, 2,500 temporary seats will be added beyond the outfield fence on the main diamond by the time the tournament begins; that number is more than double the

usual number of seats added for the Canadian Open Fastpitch Championships, which are normally played in mid-July but
will be on hiatus until 2017. In April, Owen Croy, Surrey’s manager of parks, told PAN the improvements – which began in 2014 – have cost about $1.5 million. The 2016 world championships are set for July 15-24, and will feature 31 international teams. The tournament schedule is set to be released in “about 10 days” Timm said, adding that Canada’s first game will be against Great Britain, and is scheduled for immediately after the event’s opening ceremonies.

camp with us – which was a real coup for the divers who took part – and Scott and I talked about coming here and he liked it. So here we are. It’s very exciting.”
Next up for Cranham and his young divers are provincials – which will be held at Grandview Aquatic Centre May 27-29 – and following that, junior national diving championships in two cities. Two divers – Madeline Green, 10, and Taylor Pai, 12 – will head to Montreal for that age-group’s national meet, while two older club members, Carlyn McNeely, 18 and Tavia Walz, 17, will be in competition in Winnipeg. “I really hope they just perform the best as they can. It’s not so much about placing, but just about doing the best that you can do,” Cranham said. “If they do that, I’ll be very, very happy – and I think they should be as well.” With increased pool time available since the move to Grandview Aquatic, Cranham and Boys are working on expanding the club. Interest in diving does tend to grow in Olympic years, both agree, and this year, the club has already increased membership enough that White Rock Divers has created a masters group (age 25-plus). Registration is ongoing (at www.southsurrey whiterockdivers.com), Boys added. “Interest is growing here, and it’s a really exciting time to be involved,” Clanham said.

GREENER HOMES
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
Net Zero Home building standards encouraged By Nicolle Hodges Energy-efficient homes have arrived and are growing in popularity. At this time, it may be farfetched to assume homes will soon be equipped with the ability to turn sunlight into energy or have gardens growing on the walls. It is accurate, however, to assume that over the next decade homes will become increasingly more self-sustaining, compact, and leave only a light footprint on the planet. Like most things in life, success comes from planning ahead, getting organized, and gathering information. B.C. is dedicated to supporting better building practices now and
into the future. Meaning, the trend of green homes isn’t slowing down. For builders striving to meet energy efficiency requirements, it hasn’t been too hard to manage. That’s the opinion of Joe Geluch, President of Naikoon Contracting Ltd., who says builders and contractors are more receptive to the idea of building greener homes. “Conversations started 30 years ago but certainly in the last ten years we’ve seen big progress, especially ramping up over the last three years,” he says. “The B.C. energy code [which came into effect December 2014] mandated a lot of energy efficiency in housing. That has certainly
made building greener a requirement.” The Code increased the requirement for additional insulation in walls, better windows, and mandatory energy modelling on some areas. For some builders it's new, but others are already implementing environmental practices. Some of the current green trends that Geluch has noticed are things like better windows and doors, air tight design, and more efficient insulation and ventilation. “A lot of people are now going to triple glazed windows and doors in their home,” says Geluch. “Argon gas filled and low E coatings also add efficiency to the window. The frame and
construction of the window product is just as important as the glass, and it’s important to understand the labelling that comes with the window and door products.” Other environmental considerations picking up steam are rainwater collection systems and healthy products like no-toxic finishes, low VOC paints and materials, local use of resources, and formaldehyde free plywood. The evolution of technology has certainly spilled over into home construction, evident by the emergence of the term "smart home.” For Geluch, the word has come define the evolution of home automation. “Most homes can now have controllability with smart phones in various features, and also energy monitoring and lighting controllability – which is very popular,” he says. As for renewable energy sources, Geluch says solar panels are already becoming increasingly popular. “We’ve been receiving request for solar PV on a regular basis and are seeing them being prepared for on all projects,” says Geluch. “Just in the last two years we have installed solar PV on a half dozen homes. This trend will certainly continue and increase as the technology improves and costs come down and other types of energy costs rise over time.” As buyers become more interested in green options, Geluch says builders will continue to reciprocate the demand. “I'd like to see all building constructed to Net Zero Ready standards over
the next 15 years,” he says. He is referring to the Canadian Home Builders Association, which has developed and launched a pilot for a new labelling system in Canada. A “Net Zero Home” is one that consumes less power than it produces. “It has to be thoroughly planned and constructed to very high energy standards to get to ‘Net Zero Ready,’” says Geluch. “The full program will launch and be announced in approximately six months. I am on the council developing this, and am very passionate about it.” Some people may think that going green can be difficult and costly, when in reality there are more options than ever to buy a home already built to environmental standards, or renovate an older home to accommodate a greener lifestyle. “The fundamentals are easy and don’t cost a lot of money; it makes nothing but sense,” says Geluch. “If there is a will, there is a way!” Being aware of energy saving benefits and making the switch from waste producing products to more environmentally friendly products and practices creates a cycle of positive feedback. By upgrading or managing a green home, not only are you helping the atmosphere but also lowering your energy bills, reducing your carbon footprint, and passing on important lessons about caring for the environment to your family and friends. Maybe you don’t have a fish pond in the front yard (yet) but you can start somewhere.

Carmen passed away peacefully on the evening of May 6 at Morgan Place, in Surrey. Her long and eventful life remains a source of inspiration to her many friends. After fleeing Estonia during World War Two, Carmen spent one year in Germany and five years in Holland. She was sustained through many difficult circumstances by her strong faith. Carmen came to Canada in 1950 with her husband and mother Maria, and worked for many years as a practical nurse. Carmen’s strong love for animals and nature was well known. She was a shrewd observer of human behaviour. Her wisdom and sense of humour will always be remembered. Much loved, and now missed. A viewing and a prayer service for Carmen will be held on Tuesday May 17, from 3 to 4pm, in the Arbor Building at Valley View Funeral Home, 14660 - 72nd Avenue, Surrey, B.C.
