Surrey subdued while Vancouver fumes Tracy Holmes, Jeff Nagel & Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Sherri Wilson Morissette had great expectations when she set out to watch the Stanley Cup final at a downtown Vancouver bar Wednesday.

Having missed the opportunity to be part of the city’s 2010 Olympic spirit, the executive director of White Rock’s Business Improvement Association was sure the same atmosphere would fill the streets for Game 7, and she wanted to be part of it.

“I’m trying to relive the Olympics through the Canucks,” Wilson Morissette said, hours before heading out to catch the Canucks/ Bruins game with her husband and some friends.

But instead of basking in goodnatured revelry, Wilson Morissette said Thursday she was shocked and saddened to find herself surrounded by chaos that night – fans with blood James Maclennan streaming down Police deal with their faces, police Vancouver rioters. firing off tear gas and plumes of smoke rising from fires as rioters set cars ablaze.

“We couldn’t believe what we were seeing,” she said, of the aftermath that followed the Canucks’ 4-0 loss. � see page 4

Government considers back-to-work legislation

Postal workers locked out as B.C. mails ballots Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – Thousands of ballots for B.C.’s harmonized sales tax referendum were being stored in post offices after Canada Post locked out its urban employees across the country Wednesday.

Elections BC has prepared a contingency plan for post office disruptions, as officials try to get more than three million ballots delivered to homes across the province by June 24.

Federal Labour Minister Lisa Raitt told CTV Wednesday that since Canada Post moved from

rotating strikes to a complete shutdown, the government will consider introducing back-towork legislation. The strikes have cost Canada Post an estimated $1 million in lost revenue, and before the lockout, management reduced urban mail delivery to three days a week.

Craig James, B.C.’s acting chief electoral officer at Elections BC, said Wednesday that no changes to the referendum timetable were being contemplated “at this time.” If the post office dispute drags into next week, Elections BC has the option to push back the deadline for returning completed ballots beyond the current date

of July 22.

Elections BC officials said they will adjust their schedule if necessary to give voters the same amount of time to consider how they will vote.

Ballot packages went in the mail on Monday to regions outside Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. They were scheduled to go out to those areas starting June 20.

Voters who receive their ballots can return them to one of 60 Service BC (formerly Government Agent) offices around the province instead of putting them in the mail.

Consider the difference a Going after every trucker makes...

RATE

...and frankly

the long-term intent to end truck parking on ALR land makes sense, there is little point in going after existing ALR properties where trucks are currently parked, as long as there is enough space, proper parking facilities and farm operations are not being impacted.

In some cases, there is room to spare on agricultural land for parking. In some cases, family members of the farm operators are parking their trucks there overnight.

Instead of going after every trucker parking on agricultural property, the city needs to be more vigilant in dealing with building permits, location of buildings and soil-dumping permits within the ALR. The city has the power to ensure people aren’t buying farm land simply to set up truck-parking businesses.

Instead of announcing a crackdown on existing truck parking, the city needs to work with the industry and come up with some positive solutions that benefit everyone. It could host a series of forums where truckers could outline the issues that they must deal with, and also set up meetings with the B.C. Trucking Association and other groups that speak for the industry.

Surrey should not be imposing hardship on a vital aspect of the local economy, and make it much harder for truckers to go about its day-to-day business.

A strong trucking industry is good for Surrey.

Survey ranks city third in country, with 37 per cent of companies planning to hire

Surrey’s job market called ‘unbelievable’ Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Surrey is the third most promising city in Canada to get a job in over the next few months, according to a firm that examines hiring trends globally.

The Manpower Group released its Employment Outlook Survey this week, examining 46 cities across Canada. About 1,900 companies were asked whether they were planning to change their staff size in the third quarter of 2011. Options included an expected increase, decrease, no change or don’t know.

Surrey has the third-highest net employment outlook ranking of 37, just behind Charlettetown, P.E.I. (40) and Niagra Falls (39), Ont. Thirty-seven per cent of Surrey companies

polled said they were going to hire more staff and none are planning to decrease the number of employees. Sixty per cent said the employee roster would remain the same and three per cent didn’t know.

Susan Wright-Boucher, regional director for Manpower Group, said Surrey’s numbers are amazing.

“You know what, Surrey is unbelievable,” Wright-Boucher said, adding it’s a combination of low level and high level jobs coming available.

The last few quarters have told the tale in Surrey, she said.

In the first quarter of 2011, the city had a net employment outlook of 13 per cent, growing to 28 per cent in Q2 and 37 in Q3.

Those figures come out of the city’s bleak-

est period during the first quarter of 2010 when Surrey had a net employment outlook of minus-seven per cent. The city has been growing steadily since then.

“I sent this to (Mayor) Dianne Watts’ office,” Wright-Boucher said. “This is something they can be really, really proud of.”

She said the results are likely driven by geography, land prices and local growth.

“Surrey is one of the fastest-growing cities in Canada,” she said. “Businesses are relocating there or expanding there. There’s parking for people, the real estate (price) is certainly quite attractive.”

Vancouver will always be a popular market, she said, “but it’s also really costly.”

Surrey’s success may be in part due to a booming construction sector, which expe-

rienced a net employment outlook of 38 per cent in Western Canada. The city’s building boom could well have bumped up local numbers significantly.

Other cities in the region didn’t fare as well.

Richmond-Delta came in 30th out of 46 with a net employment outlook ranking of 20.

Vancouver came in 32nd in the rankings, with a net of 18, Victoria and the Capital Regional District edged up just behind that with a net of 17. Burnaby-Coquiltlam came in second-last nationally, with a net employment outlook of six.

The national net employment outlook average was 22, with 26 per cent of companies expecting to hire, four per cent anticipating layoffs, 68 per cent predicting employment to stay the same and two per cent unsure.

Merchants get mailbox

Post office apologizes Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock merchants and residents affected by the removal of Canada Post mailboxes from Central Plaza earlier this year are getting an apology from the corporation this week – and the promise of another mailbox.

Canada Post spokesperson Lillian Salchner said Thursday a street mailbox will be back at the 15182 North Bluff Rd. mall “very soon.”

“An error was made,” Salchner told Peace Arch News. “We’re going to rectify it as soon as possible.”

The site has been without mailboxes since just after Shoppers Drug Mart relocated across the street to South Surrey in January. In addition to inconveniencing merchants, the removal raised “serious safety concerns” for elderly residents who had no choice but to navigate across busy North Bluff Road in order to send mail, Sherri Wilson Morissette points out in a June 14 letter to Canada Post officials.

Wilson Morissette, who is executive director of the White Rock Business Improvement Association, said she had no trouble this week collecting merchant signatures on a petition calling for the return of the mailboxes.

While she was thrilled to learn from PAN that a mailbox would be returned to the plaza, Wilson Morissette said she will still send the petition to Canada Post, in hopes of receiving an official response regarding the mailbox’s return.

Salchner said the mistake was simply “human error.”

“A street letter box should have remained at that location, but there was a mistake that was made,” she said. “We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.”

The City of Surrey is concerned about the impact of parking heavy trucks on agricultural land.

Landowners responsible for environmental cleanup

City battles over trucks on farmland Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Great news for Fleetwood residents isn’t so hot for truckers or the city – an 80-stall big rig parking lot in the city is set to close soon, increasing the truck parking shortage in this city.

The closure comes as the city is struggling to create new legitimate parking places for the large vehicles – to draw them away from populous areas and discourage illegal parking in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) in South Surrey.

“It’s been an increasing issue over the last number of years,” said Surrey’s transportation manager Jaime Boan. “We are moving forward on enforcement in the ALR, and so there are some sites that have been approached and action is being taken.”

Officials are concerned that the trucks on those sites are dripping oil and gas into soil that is meant to be farmed.

“It’s taking agricultural land effectively out of the reserve, and putting potentially environmentally damaging leaks into the soil,” Boan said.

The trucks will be removed and land owners more parking – not less – for thousands of big will be responsible for the cost of environmen- rigs without legal places to park.

According to a corporate report to council tal cleanup, Boan said.

Meanwhile, as the city and Agricultural Land a couple of years ago, there are an estimated Commission demand that truckers stop using 12,000 heavy trucks registered in Surrey, with the ALR, the closure of the 80-spot about half of those “independent” site in Fleetwood further increases truckers left to their own devices to ❝It’s taking the shortfall of available parking. agricultural land find parking.

‘It’s a shame it ended like this’ � from page 1 “We had to take cover, and then we were like, ‘right, let’s go,’ and we just booted it down to the SkyTrain. We just held onto each others’ hands and just went.”

Police in riot gear rallied in the downtown area Wednesday night as the situation spiralled out of control in the wake of the Canucks’ loss to the Boston Bruins. Hooligans set fires, vandalized property and looted stores, including the iconic Bay store on Granville Street.

According to CTV reports, Vancouver police arrested nearly 100 people in connection with the riots.

More than 130 people, including a Surrey RCMP officer, were treated for various injuries suffered in the fracas, most of them minor. The officer, who was hit in the head with a projectile, is expected to make a full recovery, police say.

In contrast, officials in both White Rock and Surrey say fans in their cities were peaceful.

A crowd of between 6,000 and 7,000 people at Surrey’s Stanley Cup celebration site in Central City Plaza was well-behaved, and began to trickle out when the Canucks started losing.

The usual ad-hoc group that meets at 72 Avenue and Scott Road failed to materialize because of the team’s loss.

In fact, shortly after the game, more than 100 of 158 Surrey

RCMP and Delta officers, who had been dedicated to crowd control in Surrey, were deployed to help in Vancouver.

“The entire city of Surrey was awesome,” Cpl. Drew Grainger said. “Everybody acted responsibly.”

White Rock RCMP Staff Sgt. Lesli Roseberry said her officers’ night was similarly quiet. No busier than a typical weekend shift, it ended with four people receiving Immediate Roadside Prohibition for impaired driving, and one person arrested in connection with a domestic incident, she said.

Efforts now are focused on identifying those responsible for the destruction in Vancouver.

Images captured by media and by individuals using cameras and cellphones were broadcast widely.

Metro Vancouverites have banded together via social media, vowing to out the offenders by pooling photos and video captured during Wednesday night’s riot.

Many of those responsible made no attempt to hide their faces, sometimes mugging for photos.

The site identifyrioters.com allows users to browse photos and identify rioters and looters by their Facebook name. Photos and names are sent to the Vancouver Police Department once multiple users have made a

positive ID. The costs of the damage and police work in Vancouver were still being tallied Thursday.

In Surrey, policing costs are estimated at $500,000.

The total is much higher than earlier estimates, but police say that’s the cost of keeping the public safe, particularly with crowds and traffic that have traditionally gathered at 72 Avenue and Scott Road.

Costs for Round 4 were about $40,000 per game, Grainger said.

Mayor Dianne Watts was a little skeptical when she heard of the final costs.

“On the surface of it, it sounds extraordinarily high,” Watts said Wednesday before Game 7.

On Thursday morning, Watts said Surrey would not be looking to Vancouver to cover any of the costs of sending Mounties to that city.

Watts said those who incite rioting “should be absolutely prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

Wilson Morissette said she expects many of the people who caused the trouble to be caught.

The majority of fans, she noted, were not part of the problem.

“They didn’t want any part of the trouble. They were sad and true Canuck fans that were upset their beloved team had lost,” she said.

“It’s just a shame that it ended like this.”

Marine Drive development scaled back to four storeys Tracy Holmes

Developers looking to build condominiums and townhouses at the corner of White Rock’s Oxford Street and Marine Drive have scaled back plans to reduce the project’s overall height.

But residents who have opposed the project from the get-go say the two-storey change does little to ease their concerns it will negatively impact both their personal lives and the waterfront as a whole.

“I think that it’s still quite a bit out of proportion to what else is in the neighbourhood,” said Bob Berger, a neighbour of the property slated for development.

“From everything I have heard and the emails that I have gotten and the requests to get together again as a group, the four storeys are still not acceptable.”

Georgia Laine Developments has asked for amendments to White Rock’s Official Community Plan and zoning bylaws in order to build 90 residential units in two four-storey buildings fronting Buena Vista Avenue and Oxford Street. The applicant also wants to construct a three-storey project fronting Marine Drive, with seven two-storey townhouses over the same number of commercial units.

According to a report scheduled to be presented to the city’s land use and planning committee Monday, staff are recommending council give first and second readings to bylaws authorizing

A development plan for this Marine Drive site has been revamped. the amendments, then send the amendments to public hearing.

The report notes opposition from residents prompted staff to recommend the proposal be scaled back. The residential buildings were to be six storeys.

“Staff met with the proponents following completion of the public information meeting and more recently sent written correspondence strongly recommending they scale back the proposal, based on the concerns of the public…” the report states.

In assessing the revisions, staff feel the project would bring “new vitality” to the area and support West Beach businesses; and that it would be “a significant aesthetic improvement over the character and appearance of the existing property and older structures on site,” the report notes.

As well, it would be self-sufficient for parking, and applicants have responded to residents’

height concerns.

Residents first learned of plans for the site – which encompasses 14807 Marine Dr., 1184 Oxford St. and 14818 to 14832 Buena Vista Ave. – during an open house hosted by the developer in January. Further details were offered at an April public information meeting held at the White Rock Community Centre, but, like the latest plan, did little to ease concerns.

Residents remain concerned about the precedent that will be set if the project is allowed to proceed, Berger said. An additional sore point is the fact the city is supporting giving a developer leeway when residents weren’t allowed any flexibility in building their own homes.

That “really ruffles the feathers of people in the community,” Berger said.

The report was to be presented to council members June 20.

Dispute may cripple HST vote

W

hat began as a rotating nationwide postal strike – now turned lockout in urban centres – may not be inconveniencing too many people, because most don’t rely on the mail the way they once did.

However, it may prove to be a big factor in the provincial referendum on the HST. Voting packages were going out in the mail three days a week before Wednesday. The last package is supposed to be delivered by Friday, June 24, but that seems to be a hopelessly optimistic timetable at present, given that no one knows what will happen next in the escalating conflict between Canada Post and Canadian Union of Postal Workers.

Federal Labour Minister Lisa Raitt said Wednesday the government will consider backto-work legislation, but as of this writing no action had been taken.

Meanwhile, it appears that thousands of HST ballots are currently sitting in limbo somewhere – maybe not even in B.C. Much of the country’s mail goes through Toronto, including mail that originates in B.C. It isn’t clear whether the HST referendum packages have gone there or not, but the modern mail-delivery system is built on routing large volumes of mail through specific sorting plants. It is entirely possible that all or most of the voting packages go through Toronto before being delivered to B.C. addresses.

While Craig James, B.C. acting chief electoral officer, said Wednesday there were no plans to change the referendum timetable, Elections BC has the option to push back the deadline for returning ballots if the shutdown continues.

At present, the referendum timetable calls for all completed voting packages to be in the hands of Elections BC by Friday, July 22.

While there will be opportunities to drop off the packages (including a location at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre), some will opt for returning the packages through the mail.

This is particularly likely when considering that many take vacations this time of year, and won’t be going to great lengths to find a place where a completed package can be dropped off.

The vote on the future of the HST is an important one. Not only is it crucial in determining B.C. tax policy, it is seen by many as an opportunity to strike a blow for democracy and public consultation.

While the government handled the HST issue badly for much of the past two years, it is now consulting the public in a meaningful way.

It would be unfortunate if that consultation were to be crippled by a postal dispute.

Whether those reasons are sound is up to you, but they do it to effect change.

Think Egypt. Think Thailand. Think four dead in Ohio.

Here, they riot over sport.

Or maybe the riot is the sport.

One can assume these amoral bullies were ready to rampage, win or lose, or were at least lying in wait – gas cans at the ready – for the next opportunity to ambush our collective reputations.

They may wear the jerseys, but how dare they call themselves Canucks fans?

These are not true Vancouver fans in any sense of the word, “fanatical” or otherwise.

They are our shame – content to have their so-called fun for an evening, looting stores and robbing us of our rights as free-thinking human beings in the process.

Free speech? Right to public assembly?

Forget it. Gone.

Any arguments I could have mustered to show that we can govern ourselves without living in a police state have been dashed.

No doubt, these words would be lost on Wednesday’s rioters. Even later in life, when they excuse their earlier behaviour on a combination of youthful exuberance and drunkenness, they’ll see the world a little differently than you and I. I just wonder what sort of world it will be.

Democratic rights, wrongs Editor: Re: Surrey returns voters’ signs, June 15.

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts had the insight to realize that it is a democratic right to display signs before a referendum, as stated in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

These Fight HST signs are unobtrusive and do not interfere with sightlines, so that excuse is not valid. I wonder if the fact that Premier Christy Clark was coming through Surrey for a meeting on the day the signs were removed may have had something to do with it.

Most of the signs have now been returned, but tireless volunteers must now replace them all – giving of their own time and energy – and many are seniors, fighting for the survival of democracy as they remember it.

Eileen Spencer, Surrey ■ I would like to clarify and correct one part of your article about my incident with the Surrey bylaw officer last week.

The sentence, quoting another Fight HST member, reads: “75-yearold Sybil Rowe was putting signs along 32 Avenue last week when she was approached by a ‘very large, intimidating’ bylaw officer and told to cease her actions.”

I do not like the implication of this quote, namely, that this very big fellow was trying to intimidate a little old woman. In fact, he was completely professional and polite in the execution of his duties as a bylaw officer.

He wasn’t for me, he wasn’t against me. He was merely enforcing the bylaw.

I felt the need to correct this, because I am convinced the success of any mission depends upon strict adherence to the truth.

Sybil Rowe, Surrey

Better ways to spend our cash Editor: Anyone looking at their property tax bill and wondering why Surrey’s taxes are rocketing upward at an uncontrollable rate need only look at the recent Peace Arch News for the explanation.

Nearly five full pages of advertisements from the City of Surrey, only one small part of which could be considered a required public notice. Beyond the cost of the advertisements, we can surmise there are dozens of city employees involved in organizing and publicizing these events.

While it may be nice to have so many social events, it is not what I want to see my tax dollars spent on.

Surrey still has not provided even a single four-lane road connecting South Surrey to the rest of the city.

Traffic from South Surrey crosses over a 1944 vintage war surplus Bailey bridge that should be in

a museum. It is time for a civic group to step forward to stop the egregious waste that has flowered under the current mayor.

Ed Beauregard, Surrey

There must be a way in, out Editor: Last month, as I was coming home from the North Shore to Crescent Beach, I decided to swing through the beach to have a look around.

My timing was bad, so as I was just about to cross back over the train tracks, the lights started flashing, the bells started ringing and the arms came down blocking my way.

I sat for what seemed a very long 10 minutes and wondered what it would be like if I was was driving the ambulance, fire truck or police car trying to attend an emergency.

That precious time taken up in those minutes can be life or death, or whether your house is still standing.

I don’t understand why the governments of a sovereign country like Canada can’t just tell railways like the BNSF that we have to remedy this as of yesterday and get a way of getting across those tracks somehow when a train is going by.

Probably the only way to cross the tracks – without costing a fortune and disrupting the area immensely – is under the train bridge at the marina. This would be for emergencies, and they would have keys to any gate blocking the way.

Where there is will, there is a way.

If my house burned down or I lost a member of my family due to the ambulance sitting on the other side of the tracks, I would be suing the city and BNSF big time.

Is this what it is going to take to get all parties off the fence and get this done?

Brian Lauder, Surrey

Nickles, dimes and high taxes Editor: Like all bowing down to admire the emperor’s new suit, I am amazed at the sheep mentality of so many that continue to patronize White Rock’s beach merchants in spite of the parking rate rip-off.

No, I did not get a ticket, but I fail to appreciate the “why” when the parking costs are some $3 per hour and a leisurely meal can have some $9 parking charges added on top of not-the-cheapest food and beverage prices around.

The property and business taxes are among the highest in B.C., and then we are nickled and dimed to death if we run five minutes over the limit while spending good money in the area.

Win Bromley, Langley

Editor: Re: Firefighters snub survey, June 1.

To me, the fact the firefighters elected not to complete the City of White Rock’s Workplace Environment Study is disappointing but hardly unexpected.

In itself, this is not a concern for the taxpayers.

What should be a concern to the taxpayers, though, is council’s rather passive acceptance of the report and its findings. A survey return rate of 47 per cent and a lukewarm summary that the feedback is “generally positive” is simply not acceptable nor is it an accurate summary of the results.

To put things in perspective, as a former city manager I would have expected a return rate of not less than 90 per cent and would have been very concerned if the overall satisfaction rating were any less than 85 percent.

The miserable return of 47 per cent can be explained by one of, or a combination of, three things: First, more than half of the employees are apathetic and could not be bothered to complete the survey; second, more than half are so mad or discouraged, they chose not to do it; or third, the employees were so fearful of possible repercussions if they answered truthfully, they chose not to go there.

After reviewing the report for myself, I am totally dismayed at the results. Council’s muted response and choice to focus on the sidebar issue of the firefighters’ lack of participation leads me to conclude that either

the councillors did not read the report, or read it and did not understand it. Had they actually read and understood the report, they should have asked a number of questions that were more meaningful.

For example, why did council not ask for an explanation to the following?

1. Why has the apparent rift between the city manager and the firefighters not been mended after nearly two years?

2. Why do only 27 per cent of the employees agree senior management communicates decisions in a timely manner?

3. Why do only 17 per cent of the employees feel senior management provides clear direction for the future?

4. Why do only 29 per cent of the employees say they have confidence in the senior leadership of the city?

5. Why would only 36 per cent of the employees recommend the city as a great place to work?

It is obvious there is a major disconnect in the city between senior management and the employees that is not confined to the fire service – it is pervasive.

This situation transcends any possible union/ management rift.

The truly disturbing thing is that council is either blithely unaware of the situation, or is aware and for some reason chooses to ignore it.

At this stage, I am not sure which is worse.

The day parole was granted to allow George to attend a residential aboriginal substance abuse treatment program on Vancouver Island.

Several conditions were imposed. George must follow the treatment program and undergo psychological counselling, he must abstain from alcohol and drug use and must not have any contact with certain former friends.

Full parole was not recommended, the parole board said, because George will require a “gradual, assisted” return to the community.

Vasey lived in Surrey and went to school at Enver Creek Secondary, when he suddenly spiralled into despair and began hanging out with a group of older teens who turned on him one night and killed him.

He was buried in Delta because that was where the B.C. Ministry of Children and Families happened to have an available plot.

After a follow-up story on the Vasey case by the Surrey Leader newspaper disclosed that Justin’s grave still only had a temporary metal marker two years after he died, dozens of donors – including police officers and support staff – raised money for a proper headstone.

Swim club has long history in water W

hite Rock Amateur Swim Association (WRASA), British Columbia’s oldest summer swimming association, began informally as a summer swim club on White Rock beach in 1919.

Edith (Granny) Vidal and Mrs. Burton MacKenzie organized the club with recreation and safety in mind – their motto was, “Teach a child to swim and save a life.”

In 1921, the first annual interbeach aquatic sports gala was held at the pier in White Rock, initiating a fiercely competitive annual affair between the White Rock and Crescent Beach clubs.

White Rock won the challenge cup that year, and held it for the next decade.

For the first 50 or so years, WRASA’s activities were conducted on the beach and in a large wooden tank moored to the pier. Younger children were taught on the beach until they graduated to the tank. In the 1950s, a nearby fixture was the ‘Umbrella Man’, Cecil Berry, who handled the swim the tank were awarded the annual registrations under the Kidd medal. shelter of his famous black and “Needless to say, I wasn’t one of yellow umbrella. them.”

interface: thinning tree stands, pruning, controlled early burning to consume fine fuels?

Who should be responsible for such activities? Do planning and permit authorities insist that developers and builders to use only low-flammability materials and install roof sprinklers in potentially vulnerable sites?

While fire station crews are well-versed and experienced in dealing with structure fires, do they have adequate training in fighting forest wild fires?

Are purchasers of homes in housing developments at the interface fully advised of their risks and what precautions they should take?

We are fortunate the forests on our doorsteps are not fireprone, though they could burn if conditions were suitable, but the Ponderosa pine/bunchgrass forests of the southern interior have a history of regular lightning-caused fires (one data set indicates a 20-year average fire interval) which is augmented by fires caused by people’s carelessness or arson, and more northerly pine forests, too, are flammable.

Several years ago, I was dismayed to see a new mobilehome park set amongst pines with no provisions to reduce fire hazard or to provide more than one single access road.

What planning authority allowed such folly?

We cannot control natural events, but we can take steps to reduce the likelihood of their happening and minimize the damage they cause.

Semiahmoo House Society sends off two of its own

ƚŚĞ ƐŚŽƉƐ Ăƚ

Local athletes celebrated MORGAN CROSSING Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

Stacey Kohler had one word to describe a surprise send-off party her friends at Semiahmoo House Society threw her this week.

“Breathtaking,” the South Surrey resident said ahead of her participation in next week’s Special Olympics World Summer Games, which will see 7,000 athletes with intellectual disabilities compete in 21 events. “This is so thoughtful and kind. I got tears to my eyes. They touched my heart, deeply, inside of me.”

The 24 Avenue facility was decorated with balloons and streamers in celebration of Kohler and Derek Tomm, both of whom will be representing the community – and the country – in Athens, Greece June 25 to July 4.

Kohler will be competing in the 800-metre, 1,500m, 3,000-m and 4x400-m races, while Tomm – who was unable to make it to Thursday’s party – will be playing on Canada’s soccer team, which won gold at the Special Olympics in Shanghai, China four years ago.

Both athletes are active at Semiahmoo House – Kohler in the catering program and Tomm in the Employment Training and Support program – and their friends there joined staff June 16 to congratulate them on their achievements. Cake was served, and everyone took turns signing cards for the two.

“This is a celebration,” Kohler said, after a speech she gave to the crowd caused her to tear up. “Thank you for doing this for me.”

Stacey Kohler thanks her friends for a send-off party ahead of next week’s Special Olympics.

The event was also emotional for the society’s executive director, who said people with disabilities have to overcome many obstacles to reach such a level of accomplishment.

“They work their tails off for years to get to where Stacey and Derek are,” Paul Wheeler said, noting Kohler practises six times a week. “She never stops working.”

Wheeler said Kohler and Tomm’s dedication proves people with disabilities are capable of achieving great things.

“It’s for themselves but it’s also for their community, representing other people with… disabilities,” he said. “I’m just blown away by them.”

Ray Shepherd Elementary students leave legacy

Mural celebrates Olympics

“Celebrate with your Father” Take him out for brunch at the Peninsula

Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

Students at Ray Shepherd Elementary brought the spirit of the 2010 Winter Games back to the Peninsula last week during a ceremony that unveiled an Olympic mural they had a hand in creating.

The mural is made of eight panels mounted on the south side of the school, and was painted by local artist Elizabeth Hollick based on drawings she received from students.

Hollick, who asked the youth to submit illustraElizabeth Hollick tions of their Olympic memartist ories, ended up with around 200 pages of drawings that she sorted into categories, including skiing, snowboarding, mascots and hockey.

The finished mural has space dedicated to each theme, and shows the children’s images represented in the scale they drew them in.

“I took the style you had done and put it up there,” Hollick told the students during an assembly.

“Without you, this wouldn’t be so successful. I was amazed at the

Grade 7 students Zach Marks, Aaron Lucier and Parker Cormack show off their new school mural, which celebrates the 2010 Games. number of drawings I received.”

Mayor Catherine Ferguson was also on hand, and explained how she had a peek of the mural in progress.

“I got to see some of the work in Elizabeth’s home,” Ferguson said, noting Hollick’s grandson is a student at the school. “You guys did an awesome job.”

After the assembly, students gathered outside for photos and a ribbon-cutting to dedicate the mural, which received a $1,500

donation from White Rock’s Spirit of BC Committee and $2,000 from the school’s PAC. Surrey school trustee Laurie Larsen said the students may not realize now that they are leaving a legacy, but they will appreciate it later in life, when they return to the school and look upon their artwork.

“The kids probably don’t know it today, but they will,” she said.

“It’s such an honour for them. It’s a nice piece of history.”

Q

After my divorce, I was lonely and met a much younger woman and fell for her like a ton of bricks. After a couple of months I invited her and her two young kids to live with me. Things went well for two or three years then she began to become distant from me and ultimately she and her children left. I was quite broken up. Almost immediately I received a demand from a lawyer for support for the woman, which I expected, but also support for her kids, which I did not expect. Surely this can’t be the law? The kids have a dad somewhere.

Surely it’s his obligation to pay support?

Trading day Young Scouts, Girl Guides and Cadets from both sides of the border took the opportunity Sunday – during the Hands Across the Border celebration at Peace Arch Park – to add to their pin and badge collections by trading with one another.

The 88th annual event was staged to honour veterans and promote peace.

Yes it is but it’s yours also. The Family Relations Act is quite clear, if you support children for more than a year, you are legally obliged to continue to support them until they are self-sufcient.

KNOCK DAD’S SOCKS OFF!

White Rock youth raise hundreds to battle cancer

Students fight back White Rock Elementary student Melissa Woods has helped raise close to $400 for cancer research, support and prevention – a contribution inspired by family members.

Melissa’s grandma, great grandma and uncle succumbed to the disease, and she had all three of them in mind while rallying her school to donate to the cause.

The campaign began when Melissa, 12, decided this year to make a powerpoint presentation on cancer.

Some of Melissa’s closest friends helped make posters and joined her in showing the presentation to school principal Fran Fagan.

After being given the OK to go through with their fundraising plan, the group began going class to class and giving presentations.

“On the following Monday, we told our school our grand total was not far off from our goal of $400,”

Melissa Woods, 12, helped raise close to $400 in honour of family members who died of cancer.

Melissa said in an email. “We raised $386.25. Everyone was surprised.”

Ivana Kovacevik helped raise some of that money in honour of her grandfather, who died of cancer at the age of 46.

“I never had a chance to meet him and I miss him so much,” she said. “I worked with Melissa on this

project in memory of my grandfather to raise money to help people get out of cancer. “Like it said in our powerpoint presentation, cancer is nothing to ignore – it’s something to get rid of, demolish.”

The money raised was handed over to the Canadian Cancer Society earlier this month.

Amber Lowes speaks about breast cancer with Sharon Mohr, on the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation’s Pink Bus – the first mammography and breast health education centre on wheels, which was parked at the White Rock Farmers Market Sunday. Visitors – especially those between the ages of 40 and 79 – were encouraged to book a free mammogram, as well as sign their name on the bus.

Salmon barbecue set for Sunday It’s a fun day out for the whole family – as well as a tasty treat for Dad. Semiahmoo Fish and Game Club’s Father’s Day salmon barbecue returns for its 36th edition this Sunday (June 19) at the club, 1284 184 St. The famed barbecued salmon dinner – marinated to a secret recipe and complete with baked potato, salad, pickles and bun ($14 for adults, less for children)

– will be served from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

But activities for children and families begin earlier, at 11 a.m., said Art Wahl, a director of the club.

“We have a petting zoo for the kids and we’re also going to be releasing 25,000 fry,” he said.

“The kids are each given a little bucket of the small fish that they release themselves – they love that.”

Win 1 of 7 Early Birds...

In addition to the salmon, hot dogs and burgers will be served, Wahl said, and families can also work up an appetite walking many of the easy-to-follow trails on the 29-acre property during the event, a major fundraiser for the Little Campbell River hatchery.

“There’s lots of parking and picnic tables,” Wahl said. “Lots of families come out together and make a day of it.”

school in Uganda through Global Agents’ Global Catalyst Initiative.

The riders – including one support vehicle driver, totalling 20 people – have raised $2,000 apiece, plus another $1,800 for trip costs. Their target, Uganda’s Micro Technology Institute and Social Venture Incubator (MTI), offers training and access to information about communitybased enterprises.

“It’s for a good cause, but we want (our) people to be educated,” says Fitzmaurice. “It’s got a big social component to it.”

Fitzmaurice, who plans a layover on a Greek or Italian beach after the ride, says she’s been looking forward to cycling Europe with Global Agents for five years. She waited this long because she “wanted to have a job that I could come back to, and wanted to go on a trip without coming back broke.”

In spite of the physical strain coming her way, she looks forward to the adventure.

“For me, it’s been four years of school, which feels like you’ve got a little bit of the world on your shoulders. Waking up each morning with nothing to do (but ride) will be a nice change of pace.”

Riders will be blogging at www.globalafc.blogspot.com

Confusion over referendum wording

HST gaining support: poll latest survey shows a substantial increase in support for the HST since the B.C. government offered to cut the rate by two points to 10 per cent over the next three years.

The poll, released June 9, also reflects confusion about the referendum question, which will ask voters if they want to “extinguish” the HST and return to the federal GST and the former PST at a combined rate of 12 per cent.

One out of three respondents incorrectly believed that a “no” vote would get rid of the HST. Opposition to the HST was stronger among women, younger

Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – The harmonized sales tax and the referendum on its fate are still widely misunderstood, but support for returning to the old provincial sales tax is declining.

That’s the main finding of a poll released last week by Angus Reid Public Opinion. An online survey of 805 B.C. residents found 44 per cent intend to vote “no” in the mail-in referendum that gets underway this month.

A year ago, just before the HST took effect, the pollster found 82 per cent wanted to scrap it. The

people and rural residents.

Women were 64 per cent opposed and people aged 18 to 34 were 62 per cent opposed. Residents of Metro Vancouver were evenly divided, while opponents were a clear majority in the Interior, the North and Vancouver Island.

The poll also asked people about the credibility of various sources.

A majority said they trust small business owners and academics, while 40 per cent trust Premier Christy Clark and 35 per cent believe NDP Leader Adrian Dix. Ranked highest was former premier and Fight HST leader Bill Vander Zalm at 47 per cent.

Weather and climate experts from across Canada were gathered in Victoria last week to share their latest findings on the extreme events they expect to increase as industrialized societies continue to pump more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Scientists presented papers that examine all sorts of extreme weather events, including high winds, blizzards and tornadoes. Studies also examine ocean effects such as increased acidity and lower oxygen content.

B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake welcomed delegates to the 45th annual meeting of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society. Lake reminded delegates of B.C.’s “aggressive” target to reduce B.C.’s greenhouse gas emissions 33 per cent by 2020 and 80 per cent by 2050.

B.C.’s carbon tax on fossil fuels is about to increase for the third time since it was introduced in 2008.

On July 1, the tax goes up just over a cent to 5.56 cents on a litre of gasoline, 6.39 cents on a litre of diesel and similar increases for natural gas, jet fuel, coal and other carbonbased fuels.

B.C. Premier Christy Clark has committed to follow through with another round of carbon tax increases in 2012, and is continuing former premier Gordon Campbell’s policy that all government operations should be “carbon neutral.”

That proved controversial this spring as the Pacific Carbon Trust chose what projects the Crown corporation would fund with carbon credits that school districts and health regions are required to buy.

Lake said B.C.’s 60 school districts paid a total of $5 million to become carbon neutral in 2010.

NDP education critic Robin Austin said the B.C. government should use the carbon offset payments to upgrade the energy efficiency of school facilities, rather than giving the money to profitable corporations.

Tankers dump fat, oil and grease from rendering plants into the digester system at Annacis Island.

Jeff Nagel Black Press

Fat and grease from slaughtered animals is now helping generate more biogas at Metro Vancouver’s Annacis Island sewage treatment plant.

The methane-rich gas is so far burned to generate electricity for the plant in Delta, but could in the future be cleaned and sold into the natural gas distribution grid to heat local homes.

Waste grease from renderers arrives in tanker trucks at the plant and is added to digester tanks where bacteria treat sewage and burp out biogas as a byproduct.

The $2.6-million pilot project to add grease and fats to the process began in April.

It’s so far yielding an extra 8,000 cubic metres of biogas per day and is expected to boost gas production 20 per cent overall.

“It’s working very smoothly,” said Paul Lam, Metro’s waste water treatment division manager.

Metro estimates the project will pay for itself within eight to 12 years, based on the value of the electricity or biogas produced and the tipping fees the region

charges suppliers to dispose of the fat.

Engineers also plan to test out the use of brown grease from restaurants as another way to produce more biogas at Annacis.

Restaurant grease also goes to biodiesel makers and Lam acknowledge that could put Metro in “a little” competition with them.

But he said suppliers would ultimately go to the cheapest place for disposal.

Similar co-digestion projects exist in Europe and parts of the U.S. but Metro is one of the only operators using the technology in Canada.

The use of captured biogas – a powerful greenhouse gas – helps Metro reduce its carbon emissions by offsetting the burning of fossil fuels.

“Selling the gas would generate more carbon credits than the electricity,” Lam said, but added the power produced on site is an important backup source in case of outages.

Other treatment plants in the region, including Lions Gate on the North Shore, also capture biogas but Annacis is the first to supplement the feedstock with grease.

Young singer crowned 2011 Ocean Park Idol Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Alyssa Gutierrez, 13, won top prize at last weekend’s Ocean Park Idol competition.

Ocean Park Idol for 2011 is Alyssa Gutierrez, 13, a Grade 7 student at Surrey’s Walnut Road Elementary.

Gutierrez took the title June 11 in the contest, held at Ocean Park Community Hall.

Showing the class and style as a performer that also won her first place in this year’s B.C. Junior Talent Search contest; she not only aced her vocal solo on the Norah Jones’ classic

Don’t Know Why, but also charmed observers by casually chatting and joking with the audience when a technical glitch held up her backing track for several minutes.

The diminuitive, but maturevoiced teen, who was congratulated on her trophy by one of the judges, and last year’s winner, Tommy Alto (Tom Vander Kam), was also Kids’ Champion in the 2011 Valley Voices contest, a finalist in last year’s Red Robinson Talent Showdown, and PNT

(Metro Vancouver Canadian Filipino) Singing Idol 2009 winner in the kids category.

Also competing in the contest were a number of well-known young local talents, including Shelby Noble, Chanel Stasiuk, Monica Taillefer, Brett McCrady, Rachael Goddyn, Jenny Kalicharioan, Amanda Grundle and the duo of Anusha Joshi and Sarah Loken.

Alto also performed songs from his new CD – Scream My Name! – at the event.

Toronto native Alex Goodman to perform in White Rock

Young jazz guitarist in town Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Local jazz fans will have an opportunity to hear a guitarist acclaimed as one of the country’s top young musicians and cited by Rolling Stone saxophonist Tim Ries as “one of the most gifted guitarists of his generation” tomorrow night (Saturday, June 18) at Organic Connections Cafe, 15622 Marine Dr. Alex Goodman, joined by the members of his quintet, will play starting at 8 p.m. (doors open 7 p.m.).

The Toronto-born musician and composer has established a solid reputation as one of the major forces on the Canadian jazz scene, with three albums to his credit including the most recent, Bridges.

Goodman’s last album, Convergence, consistently placed him at the top of the national jazz charts and was named in an Earshot poll as one of the top 10 jazz records of 2010.

His quintet, which features Nick Morgan (saxophones), Darcy Myronuk (piano), Max Roach (drums) and Dan Fortin (bass) is noted for an approach that fuses modern jazz with classical concepts, including contrapuntal writing, baroquestyle linear progressions, impressionism and and 20th century compositional ideas.

Goodman has more than 100 compositions plus two award-winning film scores (Goodbye Rosebud, Reality Check) to his credit.

The guitarist, who also doubles on piano, was already attracting attention while pursuing his bachelor of arts performance degree at the University of Toronto, receiving the William and Phyllis Waters Graduating Award for the student “deemed to have the greatest potential to make an important contribution in the field of music.”

Among his honours are a dozen national music awards, including the Domenic Troiano Guitar

Alex Goodman and his quintet perform Saturday.

Scholarship, the Archie Alleyne Award and recognition from the CBC as a “rising star.”

As well as playing with many of Canada’s biggest jazz stars (including Jane Bunnett, Richard Underhill and Terry Clarke) he has also shared the stage with such international figures as John Patitucci, Maria Schneider, Tim Ries and Ron Westray of the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra.

Latest book by Pummy Kaur offers 64 suggestions for non-violence

Alex Browne Arts Reporter

It’s called A Season of NonViolence – but readers will find it contains powerful ideas for all 365 days of the year.

The latest book by White Rock social and peace activist and educator Pummy Kaur (What Would Gandhi Do?) offers a series of 64 politically provocative daily suggestions for living a productive, peace-based life.

The number is not arbitrary, Kaur explains. The 64 days are the length of time between Jan. 31 and April 4 – the dates of the assassinations, 20 years apart, of legendary peace advocates Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King.

It is a yearly span of time that is becoming recognized around the world as a season of nonviolence, said Kaur, who is also director of the Global Education Centre.

“I’d really like to make this an international season, starting with Pummy Kaur all the schools, during which people are taught about non-violence for 64 days,” she said Her own celebration of the season will be officially launched June 22 (6:30 to 8:30 p.m.) at Organic Connections Cafe – with a longtime personal friend, federal Green party deputy leader Adriane Carr, on hand to introduce the book.

Copies of A Season of NonViolence as well as What Would Gandhi Do? will be available at the event (each sells for $20).

Production of her latest volume, Kaur said, has been “very

much a family effort.”

Daughter Cadence designed the effectively simple floral cover (“She and my other daughter, Hadley, who designed What Would Gandhi Do?, have decided to take turns doing the covers for my books,” Kaur said) while her son Kipling’s computer skills were extremely helpful in creating the physical look of the project.

She said the idea for A Season of Non-Violence had been “gelling in the back of my consciousness” for some time.

“A lot of people feel things in the world are not as they should be, but they’re not sure what they can do about it.”

Kaur outlines the reason for her pragmatic and proactive approach to peace and nonviolence in her introduction: “... we have made the fatal error of believing peace is simply an absence of war.”

“We expend far too much energy and resources and time on not having wars, or protesting them,” Kaur said. “We’re responsible for what happens on this planet.”

tions from writers and thinkers as diverse as Mother Teresa, John Lennon, Al Gore and the Prophet Muhammad.

“Knowledge and wisdom has been available from many cultures around the world for many centuries,” she said. “The more diversity of voices we have, the greater the chance of survival in a more dignified manner.”

As well as advocating such peaceful activities as breathing deeply, communing with nature, giving daily thanks and listening to the voices of the children in our lives, Kaur, as those who have observed her as a onetime NDP candidate and longtime social activist know, is not shy about advocating more radical action.

In A Season of Non-Violence her daily suggestions also advocate for boycotting fast food, shunning plastics and artificial materials, avoiding foreign products that have been created by ‘sweat shop’ exploiters of women and children and emphasizing the need to act on the dictates of personal conscience rather than granting tacit consent to injustice.

Possibly her most controversial advice is to stop recycling – attacking the process as giving “permission to our society to over consume” while claiming recycling does environmental damage and requires more natural resources than reducing consumption.

“We sort of think ‘all of this is recyclable – so I can continue using all of it I want,” she said.

But, overall, she is optimistic about the future.

“Human beings are very creative beings and I’m sure they will come up with even more than 64 ways to promote nonviolence – once they understand that simple change can be connected to major global effects.”

“We’ve always been huge fans of his playing and he came up and helped us on River So Wide and Nolan’s solo album,” Knight said.

While Cowan had his own band and had just signed with Leadership, he was unable to turn down an offer to tour with The Doobie Brothers, with whom he’d played before – which left an opening in Leadership’s talent roster, Knight said.

“John is a big fan of the band and Bruce’s singing and songwriting and he kept on pushing Brian, saying ‘you should take a look at these guys’.

Discussion went on for about a year, but the deal was finally clinched when the band flew Smith to one of their concerts in Oregon, Knight said.

While Knight admits the historic thread of Celtic Canadiana that Tiller’s Folly has been known for has been, to some extent, subsumed by the emotional direction of River So Wide and Go The Road, Knight said it is always going to be part of the group’s identity and repertoire.

“I think what Brian’s figured is our music would be a refreshing breath of fresh air,” he added.

We are pleased to announce that Surrey is now collecting mattresses for recycling.

Mattress Collection Challenges

Surrey’s Response...Recycle It!

On January 1, 2011, Metro Vancouver placed a disposal ban on mattresses as they are operationally difficult to handle and recyclable when properly disassembled.

Mattresses disposed of as garbage cannot be compacted – consuming a large amount of landfill space. In addition, the springs within mattresses often become tangled in equipment causing costly repairs. Customers that bring mattresses to regional transfer stations for disposal as garbage are charged $20/unit and are limited to only four (4) mattresses per load.

While Surrey had consequently stopped collecting mattresses via the Large Item Pickup Program as a result of the Metro Vancouver imposed disposal ban, the City has developed a process to recycle old unwanted mattresses.

The City of Surrey will accept mattresses and box springs via the Large Item Pickup Program at no additional cost to residents. The collected mattresses will be delivered to a mattress recycling facility where they will be segregated into different materials and shipped to remanufacturing facilities to be processed into new reusable products.

How to Arrange Collection 1. Call Emterra Environmental at 604-635-5478 2. On the day of your appointment (or the evening before), place your mattress/boxspring at your curb.

Ensure that your mattress is at the curb by 7:30am. * Please note that this program is available to households that are on the City’s door-to-door waste collection program.

Mattresses or box springs will count towards your annual large item pickup limit of 4 items/calendar year.

For further information please visit www.surrey.ca or contact the Garbage & Recycling hotline at 604-590-7289. www.surrey.ca

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Longtime softball volunteers reflect back on nearly two decades on the diamond

‘You feel like you watch people grow up’ become one of Canada’s legendary broadcasters.

The Van Neses are two of hundreds of volunteers lending a hand during the Canadian Open.

Other jobs include everything from parking attendants, ticket-booth attendants to team “gophers.”

Suzanne Sigurdson, whose daughters Jessica and Auburn have both played in the Canada Cup – the latter with the Canadian national team – started out as a scorekeeper, and is now a committee member, in charge of nearly 80 scorekeeping, statisticians and announcing volunteers.

Like the Van Neses, she got involved in the first year of the tournament.

“I just thought scorekeeping was a good way to be able to watch all the games,” she said.

Though her daughters no longer play, Sigurdson said she has no plans to step away any time soon.

“My husband has been trying to get me to get out of it for years, but I just can’t do it,” she said.

“My daughters might not be playing, but I’ve been here so long, now I know every other kid who plays – you end up knowing everyone – so you want to watch them.”

The same idea was echoed by both Ralph and Janet.

“It’s like a big family here – the same people keep coming back every year,” Janet said. “You feel like you watch people grow up – like (Team Canada pitcher) Danielle Lawrie… we’ve watched her for years, and now she’s a star.”

Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

orty-six years ago, Ralph Van Nes gave his new wife, Janet, some advice: take an interest in sports or risk never seeing your new husband.

Up until that point, Janet had been an avid volunteer in their hometown of Saskatoon – with both Cub Scouts and her church – but had no interest in sports.

Ralph, on the other hand, had been involved in baseball and softball his entire life.

“I said she had two choices – she could get involved or become a baseball widow,” Ralph laughed.

“So she learned how to be a scorekeeper.”

Now, nearly a half century later, Janet has become one of the best, most-experienced volunteer scorekeepers in the country. After learning the basics, she’s kept up her scorekeeping skills by taking a few courses, and staying in practice – during the softball season, she volunteers at all manner of games at Softball City, from provincial and national tournaments, to charity events, and last year she was even invited to keep score at men’s world championships in Whitehorse. Next summer, she’ll head back there for the women’s world event.

“She’s world-class now, and all because she married a ball-player 46 years ago,” said Ralph.

Next month, both Ralph and Janet will be spending plenty of their free time at Softball City for the Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship– which runs July 9-17. The couple has been volunteering there for 18 years, dating back to the early days when it was called the Canada Cup. While Janet spends her time in the scorekeepers booth tracking the game, Ralph – a self-admitted “ham” – admits he has a much easier gig as P.A. announcer.

How to volunteer Nick Greenizan photo

Janet and Ralph Van Nes sit in the bleachers at Softball City, where next month they’ll volunteer – as a scorekeeper and announcer, respectively – at the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship.

“All I have to do is say, ‘Now, batting…’” he said. “It’s a lot of fun.

“I’ve been involved in softball and baseball for 59 years, as a player or a coach, or now as a PA announcer.

I just love being around the ball park – this has really been my life.”

The announcing assignment also fulfills something of a dream for Ralph, who said he once had

Increased sales attributed to better financial standing

Luxury homes in demand says RE/MAX Luxury home sales are on the rise due to an improved financial standing among some Canadians, according to a report by RE/MAX. RE/MAX looked at 12 major cities in Canada, and found that sales have surged in close to two-thirds of housing markets between January 1 and April 30, compared to the same time period last year.

Vancouver led the pack with a 118 per cent increase, followed by Ottawa (59 per cent) and Calgary (51 per cent).

Part of this was due to high foreign investment, particularly in Greater Vancouver, which attracts a large number of people of Asian descent.

“The strength of the upper-end segment continues to defy expectations,” says Elton Ash, Regional Executive Vice-President of

RE/MAX of Western Canada. “That demand remains largely domestic speaks to the solid underpinnings of the market, while underscoring the appeal of Canadian real estate on an international stage. Western Canada, in particular, will continue to see the upside benefit of investment from abroad.”

RE/MAX cites a number of factors that make Canada attractive to foreign buyers, including its high quality of living, political and economic stability and the strength of its property laws.

Despite the financial crisis in 2008 and 2009, RE/MAX states that most millionaire portfolios and assets have improved or exceeded pre-downturn levels, and real estate is a popular choice due to its sense of tangibility.

Golf course living

Tsawwassen Springs not only a golfer’s paradise

by Kerry Vital

As you drive into Tsawwassen Springs on a sunny day, you see the North Shore mountains to the right, and the rolling greens of the golf course all around you. You breathe in the fresh air, and smile as the sun hits your face.

This is home; this is the perfect place to be.

Built by Shato Holdings in partnership with Talisman Homes, Tsawwassen Springs will encompass 296 condominiums and 194 detached houses. The project is surrounded by the former Tsawwassen Golf and Country Club, now turned into a 137acre public all-season golf course.

“Everything you’d want is in this development,” says Managing Director of Shato Holdings Ron Toigo. Tsawwassen Springs will eventually include a 32,000-square-foot clubhouse, a neighbourhood grocery story and a cafe. The clubhouse will include a fitness centre and spa, pro shop, a restaurant and pub, and a banquet facility. Around the property, there will be a tennis court, a driving range, a community garden, a play area for kids, and an outdoor ice rink for the winter months.

That ice rink comes as no surprise, since hockey is very important to the investors at Tsawwassen Springs (in fact, the recent grand opening was pushed back by a day to accommodate

‘‘

To be surrounded by this is really quite magical,” says Tsawwassen Springs investor Bruce Allen. a Vancouver Canucks playoff game.)

Toigo is the majority owner of the Vancouver Giants, and investors in the project include former Canucks coach Pat Quinn and singer Michael Buble, both of whom are investors in the Vancouver Giants. The other investor is music manager Bruce Allen.

“You don’t have to be a golfer to

live here,” says Toigo. “People love the attributes that come with (living at Tsawwassen Springs) ... There’s no place like it.”

Homes at Tsawwassen Springs aren’t skimpy on the amazing features. Every residence features large outdoor decks or patios, which come with built-in natural gas hookups for barbecues and outdoor gas heaters perfect for summer entertaining. Each home also comes with a parking stall wired with an outlet to charge an electric car or golf cart (some condos, and the singlefamily homes, have space for more than one vehicle.)

Greatness is a big thing at the development, down to the smallest design detail. Nothing is bigger than the inspiration for the homes: the world of Disney. The condo units are a take-off of the Grand Floridian hotel at Walt Disney World, and the single-family homes are inspired by the accommodations at the Torrey Pines Golf Course in California, Toigo says.

Inside, every residence features an expansive great room, ready for gatherings of all sizes. Condos have nine-foot ceilings, and single-family

homes feature 10-foot ceilings. Every home comes with oversized windows, which maximizes the natural light throughout and adds to that feeling of tranquility that so many people look for when choosing a place to live.

Homeowners can decide between three interior design palettes, and rich engineered hardwood floors are included in the entry, kitchen and great room to add that elegant final touch.

Granite countertops are included in the bathrooms and kitchen, and the floor of the ensuite bathroom is heated for those cold winter mornings.

With all of those features and more, Tsawwassen Springs might end up being home to the investors too.

“I’ll probably (buy here),” Buble laughs. “I’m scared of my wife and she wants a place here.” Quinn agrees, saying he is trying to convince his own wife to move there.

“What could be better than living in the centre of a golf course?” Allen says. “To be surrounded by this is really quite magical.”

Homes at Tsawwassen Springs start at $369,000. For more information visit www.tsawwassensprings.ca.

Tsawwassen Springs, built by Shato Holdings in partnership with Talisman Homes, is the perfect place to live, even if you’re not a golfer.

Residents might even get a celebrity neighbour, left, as singer Michael Buble and music manager Bruce Allen, with Shato Holdings Managing Director Ron Toigo (centre), are investors in the project.

A resident of Rosemary Heights Seniors Village, died peacefully June 14, 2011.

Born in Vilna Russia September 28, 1914, he immigrated to Canada and became a Canadian Citizen on March 24, 1947. Walter is survived by his wife Wanda whom he married on October 6, 1966 in the Calgary Russian Orthodox Church of All Saints. School teaching was Walter’s original vocation during which he became an avid gardener, with exotic trees and shrubs being his specialty. Their home property exhibited fruit trees along with palm and yucca trees and a variety of cacti.

Walter was a member of the Vancouver Saint Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church, where in earlier years, he was active in its growth and development. He was always very conscientious about attending Sunday services on a regular basis. Prayer service for Walter will be celebrated at Saint Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church, 810 E. 13th Avenue Vancouver, BC at 10:30 am on the morning of Monday, June 20. Interment to follow in the Gardens of Gethsemani, Surrey, BC. Personal Alternative Funeral Services, 604-857-5779

A Celebration of his Life will be held on Saturday, June 18, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre, 14831-28 Avenue, Surrey, BC.
