New pool planned for South Surrey by 2013

More water in the works Marelle Reid Black Press

A new indoor public pool is planned for South Surrey by 2013, in an effort to alleviate high demand felt at the four indoor aquatic centres currently serving the city. Though plans are still in the works and decisions were yet to be made on budget, location and size, Surrey manager of community and recreation services Lisa White said the city will meet soon with user groups to determine just what is needed. The proposed indoor pool will be the second on the Peninsula; the current South Surrey Indoor Pool, located at 14655 17 Ave., is no longer large enough to meet demand from local swim and diving clubs. “It’s packed all the time,” Pacific Sea Wolves swim club head coach Brad Dingey said of the current pool. “If they do get something built down here, my expectation is that it will be very well utilized.” Dingey’s club, which numbers about 100 members, splits its practice time between South Surrey and Fleetwood pools. Just recently, the club also started putting prospective members on a wait list because there was not enough pool time to accommodate

an expanded membership. With a new pool, with more space and better features, Dingey said his club could possibly double in size. A new pool would also benefit the area’s competitive divers, especially if a new facility were to include more diving boards and expanded deck space for dryland training, mats and trampolines. “I’m really excited and looking forward to hearing about the new pool. I think it’s going to really help our sport,” said White Rock Divers head coach Grant Brehaut. The current South Surrey pool is about 30 years old, and offers a relatively small 37.5-metre, six-lane tank with just two diving boards.

They are seeing the city change, and most like what they see. While Surrey residents want to live in a strong province, many feel that there is no one who could take Watts’ place as mayor. They feel that there will be someone ready to take over as premier, and if that person doesn’t make the grade, they will be replaced by Carole James (or another NDP leader) as premier in 2013. Watts also must be commended for putting her family first in making her decision, something female politicians tend to do better than many males. Her daughters are teenagers, and they need to spend time with their parents. While being mayor of Surrey is a demanding job, on most nights the mayor makes it home. That is not the case for the premier, and the need for the premier to travel will be even more acute for the next leader, as that person will have to spend time building up the Liberal party. It is very refreshing to see a leader publicly

Costs multiply for licences and tags

White Rock to hike fees for dog owners Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock’s dog licensing fees are about to get more bite, but dog owners just might get a little more bang for their buck. City council Monday gave first, second and third readings to a bylaw that, if adopted, would more than double licensing fees for spayed or neutered dogs (from $10

to $25) and more than triple the cost (from $3 to $10) of replacement dog tags. The fee for a non-spayed or unneutered dog would rise from $35 to $40. The suggestion for the increase – backed by a comparison to fees charged in Delta, Langley and Surrey and a calculation of revenues the proposed rates would generate

– received unanimous support. A motion to ask staff to look at using any of the new monies in excess of those needed to cover city costs to fund improvements for dog owners passed, with Coun. Al Campbell opposed. Coun. Doug McLean made the motion after noting the city’s dog population is growing by about 19 per cent annually.

When asked what dog owners are getting for the current fees, city manager Peggy Clark said they cover the cost of bylaw enforcement, including any kennel and food supplies needed when a wandering dog is picked up. There is currently no fund established to collect excess monies for improvements, Clark said. However, “clearly, with the

increase in revenue, that will help our budget out and give us more options,” she said. The increase would be the first amendment to the fees since 1994. According to a city report, if the proposed rates had been in place for 2010, the city would have collected $20,880 as of the end of October, compared to $9,166 collected through the existing rates.

Pro-life award

Stilwell honoured Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Heather Stilwell, a former longtime Surrey school trustee, has been recognized for her contribution and commitment to the anti-abortion cause. During the International ProLife Conference two weeks ago in Ottawa, Stilwell was given LifeCanada’s Mother Teresa Award. LifeCanada is an organization whose mission is “to promote the sanctity of all human life from fertilization to natural death through public education.” The award was established in 2008 to recognize dedicated workers in the Canadian pro-life movement. According to LifeSiteNews, Stilwell received a lengthy and moving standing ovation upon the award’s presentation. “I will fight abortion until the day I die,” Stilwell told the crowd. Stilwell was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008, and has been battling it ever since. The disease spread and she recently ceased chemotherapy and other treatments and is confined to a wheelchair. She made the trip to Ontario with daughter Elizabeth. “I am so glad Heather was able to be in Ottawa in person to receive the LifeCanada Mother Teresa Award,” Ed Vanwoudenberg, founding leader of the Christian Heritage Party, said. “Her valiant fight against cancer has greatly reduced her physical stamina, but let no one think that because of this her fighting spirit has diminished.” Stilwell, a mother of eight grown children, became a well-known activist and politician over the years, collecting many fans and adversaries for her conservative views. As a trustee, she repeatedly topped the polls. She also served as a founding member and leader of the Christian Heritage Party and president of the Pro-Life Society of BC.

Numerous refrigerated vans and trailer units were on site to help out at South Surrey’s PriceSmart Foods this week after the store lost power Monday morning. Power was still out that evening, but was restored by the next day. Contacted Thursday, a store representative said he didn’t have time to discuss the matter because the outage had created a backlog of work.

White Rock senior worried to leave house

Residents warned of potential scam A concerned son is warning residents to be wary of door-to-door servicemen, after his elderly mother was reportedly scammed at her White Rock home earlier this month. The man – who requested anonymity to protect his mom’s identity – said the woman, in her mid-70s, received a knock on her door the first week of November from a middle-aged Caucasian male who offered to clean her gutters. “He said he’d done her neighbour’s, and I guess that was good enough for her,” the son said, noting his mother paid $60 in advance and lent him a ladder. “He said, ‘I can just start; my son will come up with the truck and get the rest of the ladders we need.’” The man stayed for about 15 minutes, before leaving without finishing the job, the son said. Upon inspecting the gutters, the son said he found piles of dirt on the ground below. “He threw a bunch of dirt on the ground and made a mess,” the son said. “I don’t even think (the dirt) came out of the gutters. “It looks like he brought it for show.” The son checked with neighbours, who said they didn’t have their gutters cleaned. He said his mother is now nervous to go out, in case the man’s purpose of coming in the first place was to scope out her habits and house. “That’s her feeling I guess on things (that) maybe this person has seen too much. That’s where your worry happens. ‘This person has scammed me, now do I have to worry about something after this?’” The son also worries about liability issues, in the event an accident occurred on his mother’s

property. By sharing her story, the son said he hopes to make others aware. “He must be practising this act,” he said. “She can’t be the only person he’s scammed.” White Rock RCMP Sgt. Roland Pierschke said he is not aware of the scam surfacing here, but said one tip to prevent becoming a victim is to ask for a business card and tell ask those who cold-call with such services that you will get back to them. The delay gives an opportunity to ensure the business is legitimate, through such organizations as the Better Business Bureau. Pierschke also cautioned against paying for any services in advance. “Have the work done first,” he said.

Family con

A telephone scam targeting elderly citizens has resurfaced in White Rock. Police fielded two reports last week of incidents in which seniors were called by individuals purporting to be relatives in need of cash. In both, the callers asked for a “couple hundred” dollars. Fortunately, neither target fell for the fraud. “Each one of these seniors was smart enough to call a family member and they called us,” Pierschke said. An incident earlier this year left one White Rock grandma out $1,900, after she sent cash to a person who called and identified himself as her grandson. South Surrey also logged a number of reports early in the year. Pierschke said the latest incidents were traced back to what are believed to be throw-away

cellphones. He advised anyone suspicious of such a request to ask for a number to call back, and to not offer personal information.

Tis the season… for thievin’

With Christmas just around the corner – and five vehicle break-ins logged in the past two weeks – White Rock police are reminding citizens not to leave anything of value in their vehicles. A recent rash of thefts from vehicles has resulted in stolen laptops and other items, and culprits are not targeting one neighbourhood, Pierschke said. “It’s not in one area, it’s all over,” he said. “We’ve had five in the last two weeks. That’s a lot for us.”

Lock it or lose it

Unlocked or open doors and windows are an invitation for trouble – one police are encouraging citizens to avoid. Three homes targeted by thieves in the past two weeks were not secured at the time. “People are walking in,” Pierschke said. “It’s a crime of opportunity. They go in, take what they can and go.” He noted the crimes were not isolated to one neighbourhood or area of the city. Investigation is ongoing. Anyone who has been targeted or has any information is encouraged to report the incident to police. In White Rock, call 778-593-3600; in Surrey, call 604-599-0502. – Tracy Holmes and Hannah Sutherland

� from page 1 Cadieux said she doubts colleagues in cabinet or caucus would agree with Bennett’s comments or characterizations. “I don’t believe that is the feeling,” she said. Falcon (Surrey-Cloverdale), speaking to the Peace Arch News Thursday afternoon, said he was surprised by Bennett’s comments. “I think if Bill had to do it again, he wouldn’t have done it the same way,” he said. “Maybe he was just frustrated, but his comments were really over the top.” Comments characterizing Campbell as abusive “simply aren’t true,” Falcon said. “He has been leader of this government for 10 years and if he was bullying people for that 10 years, you would have heard about it from a lot of people. “I have very strongly disagreed with the premier over issues before, and I can truly say he is never afraid to give as good as he takes in terms of vigorous debate – and he’s very well prepared to argue his position – but he has never been abusive to me.” While Cadieux would not speculate on leadership candidates before any have declared candidacy, she said she supports Campbell’s timetable for transition to a new leader, rather than stepping down immediately. “I think that would be more destructive than an orderly transition.

The wages of sin?

t’s an obscenity – exceeded only by the obscenity of the crimes and the man who committed them. The revelation this week that the costs of bringing serial-killer Robert Pickton to justice have topped $100 million should outrage each and every B.C. taxpayer. According to figures released Monday by the Ministry of the Attorney General, the police investigation, trial and costs of apprehending, trying and convicting the serial killer amount to $102.8 million since 2001. And that isn’t counting more than $30 million more in RCMP costs picked up by the federal government, or the price of Pickton’s failed appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. The latest figures reveal that we, the taxpayers, forked over $11.7 million to his defence team. To keep him fed, clothed and incarcerated, just to this point, has cost $737,000 alone. Some would say that no price is too high to catch and convict a callous murderer who preyed on some of the most defenseless in our flawed society. There is no question that spending money was necessary. But an RCMP investigation that cost $70 million, not even counting what the Vancouver Police Department spent – to little apparent effect – in investigating a rash of missing women cases? There has to be a better way, and former attorney general Wally Oppal should be asking some very hard questions in his inquiry of why it took so long to follow up the leads that ultimately led to Pickton’s arrest. Of course it was worthwhile to find some justice in memory of six of the women he targeted, and some sense of closure for their families at least (although there were 20 more murder charges that were never heard in court). There is no question the scope of Pickton’s crimes would make investigation – including an extensive search for evidence at his Port Coquitlam pig farm – a complicated and costly process. And few would argue with the almost $2.5 million that went for services to victims and their families. But that the evil actions of a wily, depraved liar – who joked about his crimes to a supposed prison buddy – could create such a sinkhole of funds is insult added to very grievous injury. What difference could $100 million have made to the budget of any social agency, particularly one tasked with helping the many disadvantaged and marginalized among whom Pickton found his victims? What difference could it have made in crime prevention or health care or education? We’ll never know, because it all went into the destructive vortex created by a single individual who knew, all too horribly well, how to exploit the sins of our society against us.

that advancing age, ultimately, is a prison of diminished possibilities, diminished ability to communicate and diminished ability to understand. It is into this situation, this sad stage in life, that the provincial government chooses to institute an arbitrary, draconian fee. Do I know whereof I speak? Indeed. My mother, who was a frail but relatively healthy woman of 89 until last November, when she fell and broke her hip, struggled through a chancy operation and was making a surprisingly good recovery until she went into convalescent care. This is not the place to air my suspicions of the quality of care she received at a particular facility – the one where she died at the end of February. But I won’t soon forget her complaints of abuse at the hands of insensitive staff. But of this I have no doubt – being charged an additional $30 a day for such an experience would have confused and upset her. She would not have wanted us to pay it for her. Neither would my father, but he would have been unable to pay it – and his understanding of financial matters was already becoming shaky (he passed away at the beginning of June). We would have had to borrow money to take care of the bill at a time when, like most, we are already pushed to make ends meet. But for my mother, it would have added an intolerable burden of stress that could only have hastened her demise. I can only thank heavens she didn’t live long enough to see the fees introduced in April. Alex Browne is Peace Arch News’ longest-serving staff reporter.

United, we can tackle violence Editor: Re: Domestic violence plan drafted, Nov. 12. I attended the Making the Difference conference as a representative for the Semiahmoo Animal League and was impressed. I was impressed the City of Surrey is leading the effort to co-ordinate community services. I was impressed with how many agencies were present. And I was impressed with the level of commitment. Victims of domestic violence need to know there is help for them. Children need to know there is a safe place to tell their story. The more public awareness and service co-ordination that occurs, the better we will be able to prevent violence or intervene earlier. SALI’s mission – to give a safe temporary home to the pets of women fleeing domestic violence – rang home for many participants, as they shared stories of individuals who remained in their violent situations because they didn’t want to leave their pets behind. Having the opportunity to learn about new programs will help all service providers do their job better. Chrtistine Mayworm, White Rock

The business of pay parking Editor: Re: We need help beating city hall, Nov. 5 letters. I sympathize with the plight of Marine Drive businesses, to a point. I first have to ask, “Where do you think you opened your business?” Everyone knows this area is seasonal. When the sun shines, it’s packed; but off-season, not so much. Is your business so dependant on street traffic that it can’t get customers to be destination specific? If so, perhaps you didn’t do your homework on finding the proper location for your business. Let’s look at your local customer base: White Rock has a high percentage of elderly people. Do you cater to them? Are you going to attract them with $30-a-plate dinners plus drinks and tips? Do you think they can afford this? Certainly, there are many wealthy people here, but do you think they became wealthy by spending $50 per person more than once a week? As to the parking, many White Rock residents have stickers, so that they don’t have to pay for parking. For the customers from South Surrey, can’t you rebate $2 or $3 to them after charging them anywhere from $75 to $150 for their dinners? To be frank, anyone who wants to patronize a business isn’t going to blink about the $1-an-hour charge if they want to go to that business. White Rock residents pay hundreds of dollars extra in taxes, compared with South Surrey residents. You’re asking us to subsidize your business, while most

of you couldn’t take the trouble to fill out the questionnaires that were sent around to you last year. How are we to help you if you can’t do this small thing for us? Keep in mind, many cities utilize pay parking as a way to bring in extra dollars and to keep turnover in busy parking spots – Newton, New Westminster, Whalley and Vancouver, as well as many others. White Rock needs this money to be a successful corporate entity. Frankly, I’m getting tired of hearing about your businesses failing and having you blame it on parking costs. Could it possibly be that your business isn’t viable – anywhere? There are successful businesses along the beach, so you can’t say parking is killing all business. There are wonderful restaurants there and, I believe, they’re among the best in the Lower Mainland. How many who aren’t making it have compared menus with successful establishments there and elsewhere? Of course, sometimes it has nothing to do with the menu. If you don’t treat your customers right during the busy season, do you think they’re going to patronize you during your off-season? We all want to support our local businesses, but give us a business we can actually support. I suggest you put away the books on economics and pick up some books on customer service. Your letter didn’t indicate who participated in the letter, and who didn’t. Personally, I’d like to patronize the businesses who aren’t blaming me for their shortcomings. Bryn Taylor, White Rock Editor’s note: We did not publish the 49 signatures attached to the letter. ■ When the pay parking was implemented years ago, I seriously decreased my visits to the beach in White Rock. Also, every year there seems to be another “rule” added.

I used to love walking with my dog on the beach, the pier and promenade, as well as frequenting the stores and restaurants. Yes, pay parking is added revenue for the City of White Rock, but at the expense of the merchants along Marine Drive. If pay parking is implemented along Johnston Road, this will also be at the expense of the merchants. I have wanted to send in my comments for years, but am inclined to do this now so that the merchants of Marine Drive have another voice added to their list. I would like to provide an example of a tourist-, resident- and nonresident-friendly town. Every year, my son and I – and our dog – go to Cannon Beach, Ore. It is similar to White Rock in regards to being beautiful and “quaint.” Lots of shopping, lots of restaurants, amazing beaches, etc. However, there are a few huge differences. Cannon Beach is absolutely invaded with tourists throughout the year. There is no pay parking; in fact, there is also free RV parking, you can walk your dog leashed or unleashed on the beach and in town anytime of the year, you can bring your dog into most stores, you can have a fire on the beach as long as you don’t use driftwood… In a nutshell, a very tourist-, resident- and non-residentfriendly town. It is also a very safe, appreciated and respected town. White Rock has many rules which continue to grow, along with costly pay parking, that it is not tourist-friendly anymore, and it is not the merchants’ fault. I’ve often wondered if city hall would like to pay us to stay away? I feel so badly for the merchants of Marine Drive – wonderful folks providing a service and trying to make a decent living by doing it. They have my full support. Trisha Bunn, Surrey

Leave Hiebert’s family out of it Editor: Re: Conservative criticisms, MP’s value discussed; Nov. 12, 3 letters. Unaccustomed as I am in making public my opinions on issues of the day, I feel it necessary to respond to recent correspondence in the letters to the editor section of the Peace Arch News regarding the efforts of our MP, Russ Hiebert (South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale). I found interesting the comments of Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts, in which she quotes former VANOC CEO John Furlong with respect to individuals contemplating public service or those already in public service. Furlong commented, “It seems like there is no bottom to how cruel we can be to each other.” He commented that public life has become more about personal attacks, and less about the issues. The recent letters I have read do not attempt to stay on point with the issues of the day, but seek to attack those who cannot defend themselves. Personal attacks on Hiebert’s wife and children cross a line that should never be crossed. I have been a supporter of Hiebert for quite a while, and it would seem to me he is the type of person we need representing us in Ottawa. From all reports, he works extremely hard for all residents in his riding. He is the only person in public life that I know of who sought out my vote, kept me informed and who has been able to provide leadership in our riding. Public service is a thankless task, and those who put themselves forth in service to their neighbours, their province and their country should be commended. Derek T. Smith, Surrey

Those who profit from liquor sales aren’t the only ones affected by the province’s new rules, writes Jerry Steinberg.

Weaker regs would keep B.C. busy Editor: Re: Online poll, peacearchnews.com Nov. 12-18. Your Question of the Week was “Should B.C.’s new impaired-driving regulations be watered down?” I answered “no,” and I’d like to expand on my response. The reason the government is going to take a critical look at the .05 alcohol limit on drivers is because it has reduced the amount of alcohol people, especially drivers, are drinking, and thus reduced the profits of liquor dealers – liquor stores, bars, restaurants, etc.

If we were to eliminate the limit on alcohol levels for drivers altogether, people would consume much more alcohol with complete abandon, liquor dealers would reap tremendous profits, and hospitals would be overflowing with drunk drivers and their victims – which would result in a great increase for health-care professionals, medical equipment manufacturers and suppliers and funeral directors. The lower the limit, the lower the number of drunk drivers on our roads, and the less impaired they will be. Jerry Steinberg, Surrey

Air India bomb-maker to be sentenced on perjury charge

Crown pushes for maximum Jeff Nagel Black Press

Prosecutors say Air India bomb-maker Inderjit Singh Reyat should receive close to the maximum of 14 years in prison for lying in the 2005 mass murder trial that acquitted two alleged co-conspirators. His sentencing for perjury began Wednesday in B.C. Supreme Court before Justice Mark McEwan. Reyat, a Surrey resident, was the only person ever convicted and jailed in Canada in connection with the 1985 bombings of two jets that killed 329 passengers over the Atlantic Ocean and two baggage handlers at a Tokyo airport. Special prosecutor Len Doust argued for a stiff sentence – at the upper end of the spectrum – noting Reyat lied 19 times under oath in the trial in an attempt to hide his knowledge of the conspiracy. That trial ended

Sentencing of Inderjit Singh Reyat began Wednesday.

with insufficient evidence to convict Ripudaman Singh Malik, the millionaire founder of the Surrey Khalsa School and the Surreybased Khalsa Credit Union, and co-accused Ajaib Singh Bagri, a sawmill worker from Kamloops. It was Canada’s longest and most expensive trial at $130 million and 347 days of court time. Reyat repeatedly testified that he

couldn’t recall key conversations or even the name of the conspirator who lived with his family in Duncan – prompting the trial judge at one point to call him “an unmitigated liar.” Defence lawyer Ian Donaldson told the court Reyat should serve no more than two years, arguing the perjury case should not be used as a way to punish him again for the bombings. Reyat served 10 years for manslaughter for the deaths of two Tokyo airport baggage handlers who were killed the same day Air India Flight 182 went down. Reyat was later charged with 329 counts of manslaughter for the Flight 182 bombing, but pleaded guilty to one count of manslaughter and one count of aiding in the construction of a bomb, and was sentenced to five more years. He served both sentences in full. Reyat has been held in custody since a jury convicted him of perjury in September.

Panghali says wife was abusive Kevin Diakiw Black Press

The man accused of murdering his pregnant wife told investigators she cheated on him and was abusive, a court heard this week. Mukhtiar Panghali, 38, is on trial for the second-degree murder of his 30-year-old wife Manjit, who was four months pregnant when she was killed in 2006. It wasn’t until five months later, on Manjit’s due date to give birth, that Mukhtiar was charged with strangling her and burning her body beside the Deltaport Way truck route in South Delta. On Tuesday, the second day of trial, B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster heard that Panghali offered several versions of their

the initial missing person’s report on Oct. 18, 2006 said Panghali told him the last time he saw Manjit was when she left for her pre-natal yoga class. The officer testified Panghali said his wife was depressed, that they argued over money and she often left the home to stay in hotels. On Monday, prosecutor Dennis Murray told the B.C. Supreme Court judge evidence will show Manjit used her cellphone four times on the way to a pre-natal yoga class on Oct. 16, 2006, the day she disappeared. Her husband used the phone with a different SIM card after her disappearance. The trial is expected to take up to a month. – with files from CTV News

Premier ‘suspends’ tax cut Everything Must Go! Tom Fletcher Black Press

After a tumultuous day that included firing Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett from the cabinet, Premier Gordon Campbell has announced that the 15 per cent personal income tax promised for the new year has been “suspended.” The income tax cut was the centrepiece of Campbell’s televised address to the province on Oct. 27. A week later, Campbell announced he was resigning, saying public anger at him was obscuring a necessary debate about shifting taxes from income to consumption. In an interview Wednesday, Campbell denied he is losing his grip on the government, with his party at historic lows in public opinion polls and a recall cam-

paign set to begin in December designed to force removal of the harmonized sales tax. Campbell said Wednesday’s cabinet meeting was the first since he announced his intention to retire on Nov. 3. “What I wanted to do was make sure that we did not in any way tie the hands of the future leader, so the future leader is still in a position where they can follow through with the tax cut should they decide to it, and make it retroactive to Jan. 1,” Campbell said. The B.C. Liberal party has set Feb. 26 as the date for a provincewide vote of its members to select a new leader. The B.C. government had already notified the Canada Revenue Agency to reduce the amount of provincial tax on the first $72,000 of personal income,

effective Jan. 1. The income tax cut would initially reduce the province’s revenue by about $600 million annually, but Finance Minister Colin Hansen said last week he expected the stimulus to the consumer economy and the growth of employment would recover the government revenues over time. Campbell also announced that the 2011 throne speech setting out the government’s priorities will be delivered Feb. 14. A “status quo” budget will be tabled the next day, to meet the legislative requirement for government finances. The throne speech will be “limited to outlining the transition period between Feb. 14 and when a new premier is sworn in,” a statement from the premier’s office said.

He hasn’t decided who he will support in the leadership race, but says cabinet ministers Kevin Falcon, Rich Coleman and Mike de Jong are all good choices who would also put a South-of-Fraser resident in the premier’s chair. “It’s time for the Fraser Valley and Surrey to shine,” he said. “I would like to have a premier from this area.” All three also have “very good” connections in the South Asian community, which Cheema predicted will support multiple candidates and not vote as a bloc. Kwantlen Polytechnic University political scientist Shinder Purewal said the voting rule change would mean candidates have to try to win over many of the party’s 38,000 members across B.C. “You’re not going to concentrate your effort in four or five ridings,” he said. “You’ve got to win 85 ridings.” He agreed that Falcon, Coleman and De Jong all have sizable South Asian backing and said Coleman and Falcon have “done a fair bit of campaigning underground” in advance of the race, so are likely best positioned right now.

Teacher shares math program in Kuwait

Found in translation

Contributed photo

Hannah Sutherland

Staff Reporter

fter 30 years teaching, Marilyn Wardrop encountered one of the more unusual classroom experiences of her career last month. Although the lesson was familiar, her instructions were translated by an interpreter, her notes transcribed into Arabic and class broke daily at 2 p.m., when everyone – including her students – were called to pray. Despite the cultural and language differences in Kuwait, Wardrop was surprised at how easy it was to teach her new charges. The students were actually educators themselves, eager to learn Wardrop’s multisensory math program so as to better teach children and youth with learning difficulties. Wardrop developed the program based on the Orton Gillingham approach, a language-based, cognitive and sequential teaching technique commonly used with children who have reading disabilities. She first took Orton Gillingham training when she couldn’t find anyone else to help her young son with his dyslexia, and has since used the approach in her teaching career, and now in her role as executive director of White Rock’s Prospect Centre for Multisensory Learning. While the method is useful for those who have trouble reading, Wardrop – past president of International Dyslexia Association’s B.C. branch – said she noticed a gap in similar resources for people who struggle with numbers. “For a lot of children with difficulties, the focus has been on the language. What about these children who have difficulties with

Carilyn Wardrop plans to return for a second time to Kuwait, where she has been teaching educators (above right) the multisensory math program she developed for students having trouble with the subject. math?” She developed an Orton Gillingham math approach 15 years ago, which she teaches to teachers, tutors and parents. “It takes my training in Orton Gillingham and my training in math and puts it together,” she

said. “Math brings with it a high level of anxiety; math can be very emotional for people. (The program) builds confidence and strengthens self esteem so the emotional part is not as overwhelming.” Although she has taken her

workshop outside Canada before – she has taught in the Philippines and U.S. – Kuwait is the only place it hasn’t been communicated in English. Wardrop was invited to teach at the Centre for Child Evaluation and Teaching in Kuwait, where educators are trained to

teach students with learning disabilities. “I didn’t have any apprehension because I have colleagues who’ve been,” she said. “It’s surprisingly safe.” Wardrop left at the end of September, and spent eight days training for 17 Arabic-speaking teachers. While she was surprised by how smoothly her notes translated into Arabic, Wardrop said the language barrier slowed the process. But the teachers Wardrop was instructing were ready to absorb any knowledge she could instill. “The teachers want every little bit of information you can share.” She evaluated the instructors as they practised the teaching method on each other, and, when she returns to the school this January, will observe them as they test what they’ve learned on actual students. Wardrop – who is learning to read Arabic – said the next step is to also have her program’s manual transcribed into the language. Once the teachers have completed training, they will be able to aid students upon their first signs of struggle. “Early intervention means students’ self-esteem and confidence stays intact,” Wardrop said. “(We need) to help them before they fail.” Although assistance for people with learning disabilities has become more readily available since she took Orton Gillingham training, Wardrop said families still have difficulties getting the support they need. “It should be easier. There are more resources, but what we hear is parents still feel isolated,” she said. “Our goal is to help students, and anything we can do to help teachers is what we want to do.”

I am married for the second time to a woman that I adore. I have put all my assets in joint tenancy with her. I am quite a bit older than she but we get along really well. My daughter has expressed concerns about whether she and her two brothers will inherit anything upon my death. I have told her that in my will, she and my two sons get a substantial portion of â&#x20AC;&#x153;my halfâ&#x20AC;? of the assets. She feels that she and my sons will get nothing. I think she is being ridiculous. Am I right?

No. Her concerns are legitimate. If all your assets are in joint tenancy with your second wife, none of your assets will become part of your estate, and your children will receive nothing. Your second wife will get everything as a surviving joint tenant with no obligation to give anything to your three children. NEW CLIENTS WELCOME

The public is invited to learn more about nutrition and fitness while also supporting prostate cancer later this month, at a free trade show at Steve Nash Sports Club. Up to 500 people are expected at the Nov. 27 event, which will feature local businesses in the health and wellness field, a free personal training seminar from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. and complimentary food from South Surrey’s Nando’s Chicken. Donations collected at the door and through a raffle will benefit Prostate Cancer Canada. Members and staff at the gym have already been gearing up for the fundraiser by participating in Movember, a campaign that challenges men to shave Nov. 1 and grow a moustache for the month. Pictures taken of the local participants the day they shaved will be displayed next to up-todate photos, so trade show visitors can vote for the best moustache. The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Kwantlen graduate Adam Graham was recently honoured for his dedication to turf management.

Adam Graham’s grass is looking a little greener these days, and with good reason: the recent graduate of Kwantlen’s Turf Management Diploma program has been named winner of the 2010 Canadian Golf Superintendent’s Association–Toro “Future Superintendent Award.” The award is given in recognition of the recipient’s passion and dedication to the industry and their academic achievement. “Adam is a personification of the old adage, ‘if you need something done, give it to a busy person,’” School of Horticulture instructor Stan Kazymerchyk said. As president of the students’ turfgrass club, Graham took fundraising efforts and industry respect to new levels, Kazymerchyk added.

McCain Pizzas

Graham also gave back to the community, volunteering for three home makeovers for needy families, he said. Graham’s award wins him the opportunity to go to Scotland and take part in a six-week training and work experience program. He’ll also travel to Minneapolis to tour Toro’s headquarters and attend the Canadian International Turfgrass Conference and Trade Show in Vancouver in March. Graham, currently working as an irrigation technician/ foreman at Predator Ridge Golf Course in Vernon, graduated from Kwantlen in 2010. He was also selected for the 2009 and 2010 Western Canada Turfgrass Association Scholarship Award, and the 2010 School of Horticulture Award in recognition of his achievements.

Rural B.C. hard hit, new depots may open in affluent areas

Food bank use climbing Jeff Nagel Black Press

More B.C. residents are turning to local food banks to help make ends meet. Nearly 95,000 people in the province used food banks in March, up five per cent from a year earlier, the national Hunger Count survey by Food Banks Canada shows. And the numbers are up even more in some parts of B.C. The Surrey Food Bank counted a 10 per cent increase this year after a 25 per cent jump in 2009, and now serves 250 to 300 a day. “We’ve been seeing a lot of new faces,” executive director Marilyn Herrmann said. “A lot of people have told us they didn’t think they’d need a food bank.” Eighty-seven clients were lined up outside the Surrey Food Bank gate when it opened Tuesday morning at 9:30 a.m. and many had been there since 7 a.m. – even though volunteers assure them there’s plenty of food to go around. Herrmann hopes she can keep making that promise. Many B.C. food banks this year reported having to take unusual steps to meet the growing demand – such as cutting their hamper size, contacting other food banks for help or making special public appeals for donations. “Very few have said they’ve turned people away, or closed early or not opened,” said Herrmann, who also is a director on Food Banks B.C. “We’re all trying very hard to keep those things from happening.”

BRING IN GOLD...

Boaz Joseph photo

Surrey Food Bank executive director Marilyn Herrmann said she has seen a lot of new faces lining up for assistance this year. Also notable, she said, is an increase in the number of twoparent families coming for food, in contrast with the stereotype of a single parent struggling to feed the kids. The annual Hunger Count found 11 per cent of B.C. recipients are working and earning a pay cheque but still need support. Forty-four per cent are on social assistance. Another 6.2 per cent of those assisted in B.C. were seniors and 19.5 per cent were aboriginal. Children make up 30 per cent of those who benefit. Surrey alone helps an estimated 180 babies a week and buys $122,000 a year worth of baby formula. Herrmann said the slow economic recovery is being felt in the Lower Mainland, but the impact is worst in Interior areas such as Revelstoke, Salmon Arm and 100 Mile House.

“The rural food banks are being hit so, so hard,” she said. “Many industries and businesses are shutting down and many of their donors are now becoming clients of the food banks.” Even affluent areas are experiencing higher demand in part because of the higher cost of housing. “We’ve seen a 10 per cent increase in the Greater Vancouver catchment area,” said Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society CEO Cheryl Carline. The society runs 16 depots serving Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and the North Shore but is considering opening new ones in what Carline calls non-traditional areas. “Our depot on the North Shore is growing and we may have to look at another one in that area,” Carline said. Another may open on Vancouver’s wealthier west side.

Student entrepreneurs help the homeless Hannah Sutherland

Staff Reporter

ore than 200 homeless people are better prepared for the winter thanks to a group of Surrey university students who used a school assignment to sell and distribute care packages to those in need. Charles Konopski, Kelly Saunders, Amar Phull and Harsh Thakkar – in their fourth year of Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s entrepreneurial leadership program – came up with the idea after being tasked with developing and executing a business plan in five weeks. While some of their peers chose to sell products such as coffee mugs, the four partners were compelled to create a business model that would make a difference in people’s lives. They formed Students for Homeless, and set a goal to collect pledges for 200 care packages designated for homeless people on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Donors could choose between $15 and $25 packages containing items such as thermal blankets, socks, gloves, tuques and first-aid supplies, which the students purchased at wholesale costs. The group also included a map they created that marks shelters and soup kitchens on the Downtown Eastside. The goods were put in large plastic bags, which they said recipients can use to keep dry. Students for Homeless collected

tures of the distribution to those who donated. Konopski, a City of White Rock employee, said he realized how big a difference something simple can make after volunteering with Food on the Corner about a year ago. “I saw how much (homeless people) appreciated getting a loaf of

bread or a bowl of soup. They were so appreciative and happy for that small gift,” he said. “Any little thing means a lot.” It feels good knowing their efforts have made a positive impact, Saunders added. “I’m really happy that we went with something that will benefit other people rather than just giving us a grade,” the South Surrey resident said. Now the project is complete, Konopski said they plan to pitch in their own money to buy additional packages, some of which will be handed out to homeless people on the Peninsula. The group is also looking to register Students for Homeless as a charity, he noted, and continue the work every winter. “We really believe in the cause and we want to support it further.”

City formalizes relationship with young residents

Youth get more say at city hall Surrey is formalizing its partnership with children in the decision-making process at city hall. Surrey council enlisted the help of more than 1,000 children in the formation of its “made-inSurrey” Child and Youth Friendly City Strategy.

While youth input has been sought in the past, Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts announced this week at a news conference at École Panorama Ridge Secondary that it’s time to cement the relationship in all political decisions moving forward.

About 27 per cent of Surrey residents are less than 19 years old, Watts noted at Monday’s ceremony. “Children and youth are part of the community,” she said. “We should have input from our young people.”

Police are looking for this person of interest.

Suspect sought Police are looking for help identifying a man sought in connection with the theft of items from a bait car in South Surrey. Police released photos of a person of interest Monday.

news Big bills for serial killer investigation, legal defence

Pickton case cost $100M Jeff Nagel Black Press

Bringing serial killer Robert Pickton to justice has cost B.C. taxpayers more than $100 million. Figures released Monday by the Attorney General’s Ministry show the police investigation, trial and other costs of the case total $102.8 million since 2001. The single biggest component is approximately $70 million for the RCMP investigation. And that doesn’t include roughly another $30 million in RCMP costs borne by the federal government or the expenditures of the Vancouver Police Department on the missing women investigation. Also not included are other federal government costs, such as his appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. Pickton’s highpowered legal defence team account for

File image

The year-long trial of Robert Pickton is one of several costs contributing to the case’s final bill. the next biggest disbursement. The provincial government paid $11.7 million towards the cost of his defence. Another $9.2 million went to prosecution costs, including dealing with witnesses, while $6.6 million was for court services, such as trial support and security. Nearly $2.5 million went for services to support Pickton’s victims. To date, jailing Pickton has cost

$737,000. Another $1.8 million was spent creating a high-security court room at the New Westminster courts, but that’s not counted in the grand total because it’s assumed it will be used in other future cases. The investigation costs include the massive 20-month grid search of the 6.8-hectare Port Coquitlam farm, where

forensic investigators found blood samples, bone fragments, DNA and victim’s possessions. Pickton was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years after a yearlong jury trial with testimony from 128 witnesses. He lost the final appeal of his conviction on six counts of second-degree murder. Pickton was never tried on 20 more charges of murdering missing Vancouver women, although he boasted to undercover police that he actually killed 49. Although he is behind bars, the costs related to the case aren’t over yet. The provincial government has named former attorney general Wally Oppal to head an inquiry into how police failed to catch the Port Coquitlam pig farmer far sooner.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Southridge project focuses on plight of aboriginal women

Students explore social issues with art Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

outhridge Senior student Austyn Baumeister’s design for her original block print utilizes the shape of a First Nations dream-weaver as its framework. But in the print, entitled Bad Dreams, where one would normally see hopeful images and symbols, there is only a female face of unhappiness and a sense of pervading malevolence. It’s a powerful image, one of a series created by some 28 Grade 10 visual arts students earlier this year to focus on the plight of aboriginal women in the province. “I thought it was pretty symbolic,” Baumeister said. “It touches on the dreams and hopes that these women had but which are gone.”

The print might seem too strong a statement for those who believe that art must simply be something pleasing to the aesthetic senses. But, as the students are being encouraged to see by teacher Susy Baranszky-Job, art can also be an instrument of examination and discussion of social issues, and,

Proceeds to benefit young artists

Art sale to raise funds for grants Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance to shop early for Christmas, and support young people in our community with a passion and flair for the arts. The Peninsula Arts Foundation will hold an art exhibit and sale on Saturday (Nov. 20) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Sunnyside Hall, 1845 154 St., with net proceeds going to the foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scholarship fund. Paintings, pottery, glass art, jewelry, books, photography, textiles and music are all included, and participants include such well-known local artists as Carolynn Doan, Wendy Mould, Jude Remedios, Robert Gary Parkes and Don Hutchinson. There will also be a silent auction from 1 to 2 p.m. Carol Monaghan, a PAF director, said support of the sale will help the organization face its continuing challenges, including the rules and regulations of the B.C. Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We understand

our gaming revenue will continue to some extent, but those monies can be used only for post-graduate students,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That means we have to increase our fundraising efforts to assist the applicants who are still in high school. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve changed our age range for grant recipients and can now only consider young people between the ages of 16 and 25.â&#x20AC;? At the annual arts awards ceremony held Nov. 7, some $31,500 in grants was disbursed among 29 individuals and arts groups from around the Peninsula. Also lending support to the art sale are the White Rock Players Club and the Coast Capital Playhouse, The Keg, Robert Genn, June Bloye, Judy Jordison, Vladimira Wackenreuther and Robert Bateman, while PAF director Elizabeth Nordlund is displaying some of her wearable art and appliqued quilts. For more information on the foundation and contributing to fundraising, call 604531-8393.

There’s something compelling about the art of throwing, glazing and firing pottery. Diane Petersen, publicist for the Semiahmoo Potters Society, says it’s an addictive activity that teases participants with the elusive possibility of perfection – but one that remains fun even when the results are far less than perfect. “It’s like golfing – you hit one great putt and back you are again, even though all the other holes sucked,” she laughed. And the ‘one great pot’ hapContributed photo pens just often enough to keep Heather Walker demonstrates enthusiasts trying, and learning the Raku firing process for new skills, well into their senior potters society members. years, she said. “When you do a piece that tery-itis is catching, Petersen comes out beautifully, and you said. “About all of our memberhave one of the more seasoned potters give you a compliment, ship comes from people who have come to a sale and been you could just walk on air.” The more beautiful ceramic impressed or excited about somepottery work of some 32 mem- thing they’ve seen,” she said. “We have five new members this bers of the society will be on display once again, Saturday, Nov. year – some of them have done 27 (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.) and Sun- pottery before when they were day, Nov. 28 (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) younger, but have been interrupted by families and at Ocean Park Community Hall, 1577 ❝When you do a work and come back 128 St., as they pres- piece and it comes to it.

classes – as it used to do through the Community Arts Council (now Semiahmoo Arts) – is still a sore point, she said, although the society has found a home by renting a studio in South Surrey from well-known Peninsula potter Don Hutchinson. “Many of us go to the Shadbolt Arts Centre in Burnaby,” Petersen said. “Even when you realize ‘I can do that,’ you want to push yourself to do something else. But you can always learn and take lessons.” Sharing inspiration – and skills – is a huge benefit of the organization, she said. “The exchange of information is one of the reasons 11 potters started the club originally some 16 years ago,” she added. “You’re always learning. If you go to the studio to glaze, you’ll always find other more experienced members who will tell you little tips. It’s a wonderful sharing.” Of course, she agreed, many of the pottery enthusiasts who come back to the sales year after year as repeat customers are people who may never throw a pot themselves, but love the tangible, aesthetic appeal of the work. “A lot of people in the (retired) age group really have everything they need, but they like to buy things for Christmas, weddings and birthdays – it’s like collecting anything,” Petersen said. “I usually do cashiering for our two-day sales and very often I see someone looking at a piece the first day, and the next day they come back for it. They’ll say, ‘I just had to – I was thinking about it all last night.’”

Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Back in 1970, if you had asked Bill Henderson whether he thought he’d still be in his then-new band in 40 years, he would likely have answered a resounding “no.” Sure, he knew he’d be playing music – it was his passion. But as he well knew, bands came and went and changed names and members in the blink of an eye. Very few, if any, lasted for several decades. But his band, Chilliwack, has proven an exception. Henderson, lead vocalist and guitarist, has been with the Canadian rock group from the beginning. “I didn’t think people would still be into this music 40 years later,” he said during a phone interview from his home on Saltspring Island, where he’s lived for 17 years. Formerly The Collectors, the band, minus it’s original lead singer, changed its name in 1970 and enjoyed its greatest success in the 1970s and 1980s with songs such as My Girl (Gone Gone Gone) and Whatcha Gonna Do and California Girl. Chilliwack released 12 albums from 1969 to 1985 and has had 38 hits in Canada and the United States – 18 reaching the top 40. Henderson said while there’s a portion of the population – the baby boomers – who still closely relate to the music, a younger following has also formed, something he considers quite an accomplishment seeing as Chilliwack hasn’t recorded any new material. “We’re still playing the old songs. But the commitment we make to live performance, I think, is unusual. I don’t think that very many bands make that deep a commitment – it’s right in the moment,” explained Henderson. The multi-generational fan base has

kept Chilliwack’s music very much alive. “Radio is playing our music just as much as they ever did. It just blows my mind.” The band lineup is the same as it’s been for the last 14 years: Jerry Adolphe, who toured with the band in the ’80s, on drums; bassist Doug Edwards, who Henderson has known since the late ’60s; and Henderson’s younger brother, Ed, on guitar. The quartet plays about 20 to 25 live shows per year across Canada. “It’s a restricted diet, but it’s a lot of fun,” Henderson laughed. But he says when the guys do head out, they have a great time. These days, Chilliwack performances often serve as benefits for charities or other causes. A concert in Surrey at month’s end is a fundraiser for Eureka Camp Society, an organization that provides camp experiences for kids eight to 18 with “invisible disabilities” such as attention deficit disorder or Asperger’s Syndrome. “We do lots of them,” says Henderson. “It just feels like a good thing to do. It’s your community – you want it to thrive.” Chilliwack performs at the Bell Performing Arts Centre, 6250 144 St., on Nov. 27 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $35, available by calling 604-507-6355 or at www.bellperformingartscentre.com

The program, designed by Emery, includes plenty of stretching, as well as repetitive movements, which aim to teach muscles the proper, safe way to operate. “One example is that when girls land on their feet, they don’t land properly, like boys naturally do,” Olohan explained. “And the way they land, it makes them four to eight times as likely to injure their ACL.” Teams also received an injury-prevention DVD. Some teams are still yet to buy in to the program, Olohan said, but she’s hopeful they all will as the season moves forward. Also, as part of the program, the University of Calgary spent $8,500 to supply each Semiahmoo player with a balance/stability ball, which helps improve balance and core strength. Additionally, a physiotherapist also routinely makes appearances at Tuesday night practices to offer tips, advice and expertise to players and coaches. “We’re just trying to get everyone involved… a lot of these injuries that are happening, it’s preventable-type stuff,” Olohan said.

Triumphant return After being off the competitive skating circuit for two years due to injury, figure skater Devon Neuls announced her return to the sport in a big way last weekend, winning the 2011 BCYT Section Senior Ladies figure skating title. Neuls took top spot in both the short and free program at the provincial competition, which was held in Kelowna.

With the win, Neuls, who skated with the White Rock-South Surrey Skating Club in her formative years, qualified for the BMO Senior Challenge Competition, which is slated for December in Mississauga, Ont. The challenge is a qualifier for nationals. Neuls, a Kwantlen Polytechnic University student, skates with the Richmond’s Connaught Figure Skating Club.

over Port Coquitlam’s United Rugby Club. Bayside’s U16 boys team lost to Chilliwack in a high-scoring affair, 43-29, and the Semiahmoo Old Boys (over-40) capped the afternoon with a 3-1 win over the Snowcaps Rugby Club. “It was just a spectacular day –

hundreds of people out to watch,” said Bayside president Jonathan Boughen, adding that the rainy, cold weather didn’t deter too many spectators. “It was good rugby weather B:10.12” – for playing, not so much for T:10.12” watching.” - Nick Greenizan S:10.12”

Lumber, coal exports rise Tom Fletcher Black Press

Overseas exports of B.C. coal and lumber keep climbing, and the growth will continue, say members of two trade delegations winding up tours of Asian capitals last week. While Forests Minister Pat Bell wrapped up his annual sales trip to China with forest company executives the previous week, Transportation Minister Shirley Bond returned Wednesday after stops in Korea, Japan and Hong Kong to promote the land and sea shipping development through the ports of Vancouver and Prince Rupert. Travelling with Bond are executives from the two ports, who say the $10 billion worth of government and private investment in Pacific Gateway infrastructure has paid off in a freight movement system that is competitive with Australia and other exporters. Don Krucel, CEO of the Port of Prince Rupert, said he had one meeting with a major Asian customer who wondered how a little fishing village on B.C.’s north coast could connect with major North American markets such as Chicago. But test shipments through Prince Rupert’s new container port and the federally owned Ridley Terminals coal facility have got the attention of major Asian companies. About 80 per cent of B.C.’s coal

Forests Minister Pat Bell and members of the forest industry trade mission look at displays at the Vancouver pavilion.

exports go out through the Roberts Bank facilities at Tsawwassen. But soaring prices for metallurgical coal have led to the opening of five new mines in northeastern B.C. and a surge of coal shipments out of Prince Rupert. “Our coal shipments are up 93 per cent compared to last year,” Krucel said in a phone interview from Hong Kong. “And what we’re hearing is, get prepared for more.” Robin Silvester, president Port Metro Vancouver, said B.C.’s biggest advantage is that its two ports and three railways are working together for Asian business instead of competing with each other, and the federal and pro-

vincial governments have led the effort with expansion of roads and other infrastructure. That allows B.C. to compete with Australia as a coal producer, he said. In Japan, the group met with the Tokyo Electric Power Company, which is interested in wood pellets as well as B.C.’s thermal coal to power its generators. Bell led his fourth trade mission to China last week, a 10-day tour that began with a visit to Shanghai Expo 2010. Built with engineered wood beams, the Vancouver pavilion is a showcase of wood-frame construction techniques. Forest companies on this tour generated sales of 418 million board feet of lumber, which Bell says is five times as much as they sold in China two years ago. Tolko Industries renewed a contract that is taking the entire production of its Quesnel mill, and signed a new deal with a Chinese building supplier that will keep its Soda Creek stud mill near Williams Lake running. Poor North American housing demand had forced Tolko to shut down its Armstrong and Soda Creek stud mills at the beginning of the year, idling more than 300 employees for several weeks. This is the first time a Chinese customer has shown an interest in framing studs, the main product of B.C.’s Interior lumber industry.

Natives target glacier resort

White Rock, Delta, langley & SuRRey

Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – A delegation of aboriginal people from southeastern B.C. arrived at the legislature this week with a declaration aimed at preventing the development of the Jumbo Glacier ski resort in the Purcell Mountains. Monday, representatives of the Ktunaxa Nation brought with them a map and what they call the Quat’muk Declaration, which formalizes their claim to the Jumbo watershed and opposition to a proposed year-round ski resort on the glacier 50 km west of Invermere. Proposed in 1991, the resort would include a gondola, lifts and accommodation for roughly 6,000 people. Kathryn Teneese, chair of the Ktunaxa Nation Council, said her people do not oppose the helicopter skiing operation currently licensed by the B.C. government for the glacier, or the nearby Panorama and Kicking Horse ski resorts. But she said the roads, ski lifts and permanent structures are too much of an intrusion in an area revered for its grizzly bears and other wildlife. “We’re certainly not opposed to people going out and experiencing it, as long as it’s respectful, as our declaration states,” Teneese said. Aboriginal Relations Minister Barry Penner said in an interview

Kathryn Teneese, chair of the Ktunaxa Nation Council, and supporters are escorted into the B.C. legislature Monday by Science and Universities Minister Ida Chong. the resort’s master development plan awaits approval, including further consultation with not only the Ktunaxa Nation but also the Shuswap Indian Band, based in Invermere. That group supports the Jumbo resort proposal and has signed benefits and utility agreements with the proponent, Glacier Resorts Ltd. of Vancouver. The Ktunaxa Nation is involved in treaty talks with the provincial and federal government, but

Teneese said the glacier area hasn’t been part of that discussion. The resort proposal wound its way through the provincial approval process starting in 1993 and received a provincial environmental permit in 2004. It has since been extended to 2014. In August 2009, the Regional District of East Kootenay narrowly passed a resolution calling on the province to create a resort municipality for the Jumbo Glacier Resort.

Concord Pacific brings a new neighbourhood to life in a growing, vibrant City Centre

November 18, 2010

Get in on a new community Missed out on Yaletown? Second chance at Park Place Rome wasn’t built in a day. Neither was Metro Vancouver. In fact, Yaletown didn’t even exist 15 years ago. Now, it houses some of the priciest real estate in the local market – and throughout the entire country – while remaining a residential downtown mecca for fashionable boutiques, trendy lounges, chic restaurants and upscale businesses. So it’s no wonder that Concord Pacific, a developer of multi-phased, master-planned residential communities including Concord Pacific Place on the former Expo 86 lands, is turning to one of the fastest-growing cities in Canada: Surrey. Recently named by the Real Estate Investment Network of Canada as the number-one place to invest in real estate in B.C. and the fourth-best city in Canada, Surrey the second-largest city in B.C. behind Vancouver. With about 800 people moving to Surrey every month, the city is set to rival the City of Vancouver’s population within 20 years, according to the City of Surrey website. Concord Pacific is bringing its Park Place community to life in its City Centre region, an area that is undergoing a massive revitalization to enhance the many amenities and homes in the neighbourhood. The construction of Park Place – two 36-storey concrete construction residential towers with commercial/mixed-use space, connected with a common podium/amenity area – adds to a number of significant construction projects underway in Surrey City Centre, including the Simon Fraser University campus expansion, the RCMP E Division Headquarters (2013 completion), Surrey Memorial Hospital (2014), the new City Hall (2013) and Surrey’s Civic Library (2011), among other large-scale infrastructure and transportation improvements. “Concord Pacific is one of our key partners as we create B.C.’s next great metropolitan centre,” Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts says, in a release about the Concord Pacific development. “The Park Place project will help create a vibrant, livable urban community in City Centre.” When both towers are complete – the second tower is expected to be finished by this time next year – the 698 suites will offer sweeping views

Concord Pacific’s Park Place offers homebuyers a chance to purchase in a new community in Surrey, one of Canada’s fastest-growing cities.

from its units, which range in size from 529 to 924 square feet. Homes come in one-bedroom, one-bedroom-plus-flex, two-bedroom and two-bedroom-plus-workstation floorplans, and they’re affordable: prices start from $209,000. Some two-bedroom plans – even on the 34th floor with amazing views – are priced under $300,000. “For us, it’s a no-brainer,” says Peter Udzenija, project marketing manager. “There’s so much infrastructure already in place. The demand for housing in the area is huge, and it’s supported by government, education and health care – none of those three are going to dwindle.” With King George SkyTrain station at its doorstep, Park Place is in a central location surrounded by green space that is loaded with current and proposed community amenities, plus the rental and resale potential is enormous, especially with thousands of new professional jobs being created in the region, Udzenija notes. The homes are fantastic to live in, with efficient floorplans that maximize every inch of living space and large balconies to take in the views. “Every single suite has a balcony – in some suites, the balcony is over 100 sq. ft.,” Udzenija

says, and notes Park Place is drawing a wide range of homebuyers, people of all ages and from all over Metro Vancouver. “Nothing faces a back alley. You have views all the way around.” Expansive windows let natural light reign inside; kitchens are modern and sleek, with two choices of colour schemes and Corian countertops. Bathrooms come with soaker tubs, porcelain tile flooring and limestone or marble countertops. The amenities shared by the two buildings include a bowling alley – a popular hit in other Concord Pacific projects, a billiards/games room, a theatre, a meeting room, change rooms, steam rooms, a fully equipped fitness facility and a yoga/Pilates room. On the podium level, residents have access to a barbecue area, an indoor and outdoor lounge and an event kitchen. The homes in Park Place I – the first tower – are nearly sold out and sales are opening for the second tower Nov. 27. And Concord Pacific isn’t stopping there. “We’re looking at more sites in Surrey. Obviously, we believe in the area,” Udzenija says, but notes that, at Park Place, “this is the last chance to get in at the beginning of a new community.” Visit www.parkplaceliving.ca for details.

OBITUARIES

GALMUT, Halina

August 14, 1921 November 14, 2010

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our loving mother Halina Galmut, at the age of 89 years. Halina passed in the presence of her Lord at the Eden Care Home on Sunday, November 14, 2010. Halina was predeceased by her beloved husband Jack. She will be greatly missed by her daughters Tamila and Irene, son Eric and daughter-in-law Joy, as well as her grandchildren Micah, Jenessa, Jared, T.J., Katherine and Allan, who she loved and cherished so much. She also leaves behind her beloved sister Ludmilla and many nieces and nephews. Halina came to Canada with her husband Jack in 1950 where they made Saskatoon their home and raised their family, and then moved to British Columbia in 1973. Halina was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and aunt. Halina had a generous and loving spirit and touched everyone who came into contact with her in a special way, right to the end. The family would like to thank Dr. Grunow for his care of mom, as well as all the staff at Eden Care Home who took care of mom and showed so much affection for her. A Celebration of Halina’s life will be held on Friday, November 19, 2010, at 11:00 am, at the Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre, 14831 28th Avenue, Surrey. Interment to follow at Victory Memorial Park Cemetery. Condolences may be offered at www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca
