Report of gunfire leads police to body on driveway at South Surrey home

Man shot dead, neighbour carjacked Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The scene of the crime Thursday.

One man is dead following a shooting in the 17600-block of 24 Avenue Thursday morning. Police found the body of a man – described as in his late 40s to early 50s – when they descended on a residential property just before 7 a.m., in response to two reports of shots fired, said RCMP Cpl. Dale Carr.

The victim was located at the end of a driveway at 17692 24 Ave. “So it’s not a dump,” said Carr, who is the spokesperson for the Mounties’ Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. “The occurrence happened right there.” Shortly after the shots, a neighbour of the property, who was leaving for work, was carjacked, Carr said. The vehicle owner was not

physically harmed, and police believe the two incidents were related. “We don’t know for sure, but (it’s) coincidental, there’s a murder and then, immediately after the murder, there’s a carjacking,” Carr said. The neighbour’s vehicle was recovered later that morning, Carr noted. Police were seen searching an area near 29 Avenue and 266B � see page 4

Pickup truck clips wagon

Chlorination continues

Farmhands in collision

Now, here comes the water work

Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A woman in her 20s is under investigation after at least five people were injured when a pickup clipped the rear corner of a wagon carrying produce and farm workers. The crash occurred just after 7:30 p.m. Tuesday near Morgan Creek, on 168 Street just north of 40 Avenue. According to police, the pickup was travelling north on 168th when the driver attempted to pass the wagon, which was being pulled by a tractor. The area was dark and unlit, and it’s believed the tractor’s flashing lights may have been partly obscured by the load on the unlit wagon, police said. The truck hit the outer-right rear corner of the wagon. Five adult workers suffered injuries that required spinal and other precautions; another four were either uninjured or had minor injuries, police said. The truck driver suffered minor injuries. She was arrested at the scene on suspicion of impaired driving and released on a promise to appear in court. Surrey RCMP’s traffic section is investigating, as is WorkSafe BC. Provincial labour critic Raj Chouhan (Burnaby-Edmonds) called Peace Arch News the next day to question how many more accidents will happen before steps are taken to ensure safe conditions for farm workers. Chouhan – founding president of the Canadian Farmworkers’ Union – cited budget cuts to the labour ministry as resulting in reduced monitoring of workplace conditions. “Since I started organizing farm workers in the ’70s and early ’80s, I was hoping those accidents were in the past, but unfortunately they happen every year,” the NDP MLA said.

Themed Princess & Wizard Partiess in our NEW Castle Party rty Room

White Rock water-provider Epcor began construction work this week on the upgrade to both the Merklin high and low reservoirs in White Rock, following this summer’s controversial boil-water advisory. Epcor spokesman Tim Le Riche confirmed that throughout the reconstruction phase – which is expected to last until Nov. 30, barring unforeseen delays – chlorination of the city’s water continues to be on the menu. “During the period until we get the construction completed we’ll have to do some chlorination of the water,” he said, when asked about quality precautions taken during the refit. “And we have been doing that.” The city’s water, which comes from hillside wells, has been historically left untreated, but the boil-water advisory led to a suggestion by Epcor that chlorination as a regular safety measure may need to be discussed in future. Fraser Health, Epcor and the city declared the advisory, which was in effect from Aug. 20 to Sept. 1, after small amounts of E. coli contamination were discovered in the system during routine testing. Source of the contamination was traced to the Merklin high reservoir, where it is believed bird drop� see page 4

there is already a dense population and there are many vehicles on through streets. However, these issues can be dealt with. In addition to the “commuter” aspect of trains using the interurban corridor, extending rail service as far east as Chilliwack would recognize the reality that many people travel from throughout the Fraser Valley to the larger urban centres of Langley, Surrey, Coquitlam and Burnaby — as well as Vancouver and Richmond. It would also provide a vastly improved internal transit service south of the Fraser, something that is long overdue. A service that operated 18 hours a day, in conjunction with connecting buses, could serve to actually get people to use transit in this area, and provide a real option to ever-increasing numbers of cars. The provincial government has properly identified the need for better transit services south of the Fraser, the area of B.C. that is growing the fastest. However, it does not need to be wedded to the SkyTrain technology, which uses a lot of capital and delays other projects. We need much better transit service in Surrey and all areas south of the Fraser, and most taxpayers would agree that spending $500 million on the interurban corridor within the next few years makes a whole lot more sense than spending $3 to $4 billion in 10 to 20 years, to serve a much smaller area.

Ocean Park nest to be focus of webcams

Surfers asked to help keep eye on eagles Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The activities of a pair of bald eagles that have long enraptured Ocean Park residents will soon be viewable online. David Hancock of Hancock Wildlife Foundation confirmed last week he installed two eagle cams at the top of a tall evergreen on a private Ocean Park property Sept. 16. The cameras are expected to go live with a high-definition feed on the Internet “toward the end of October.” While reluctant to go into too much detail about the site – as the property owner is out of town – Hancock said concerns raised by area residents about recent heavy-equipment activity near the nest are unfounded. “We weren’t destroying it. Quite the contrary,” he said of workers seen hoisted by crane to the nesting site. “It’s all part of a fairly big project, and our long-term project, of helping eagles recover in this area. “There’s a lot of things about this site that are

the most exciting thing we’ve ever done,” he added. Two weeks ago, Hancock installed similar cameras in a tree on the Port Moody waterfront. There are others in locations including Sidney, Delta and Vancouver. All are part of an effort to alert the public to nature and environmental issues. Hancock, 72, told Black Press he has reached more people with the Internet cameras than

he has in years of lecturing and documentary film-making. “You can reach people in a way that you have never been able to do before,” he said. “The challenge is to perk their interest and convert them into environmental stewards.” Within a month of the 2006 launch of his first camera on Vancouver Island, millions of people from around the world were observing the feed and commenting on what was happening with the eagle and its family. The Peninsula installation was done while the eagle pair that calls the nest home were away, Hancock noted. They raised two young there last year, he noted. What happens next, “the world will be able to see.” The site is also equipped with infrared lights. According to the Hancock Wildlife Foundation website, the cameras will be able to focus in on the “various areas of the tree as the eagles come in, fix the nest, lay eggs and hopefully raise a new batch of eaglets.” - with files from Gary McKenna

Officer suspended A Surrey RCMP officer with four years’ service is being investigated for possession of a small amount of marijuana and a number of possible firearms possession charges. The detachment confirmed this week that the Mountie in question has been suspended with pay. A statement released Wednesday by the provincial RCMP headquarters in Vancouver said a criminal and internal Code of Conduct investigation was launched Friday, Oct. 1. So far, no charges have been laid. According to the statement, the suspended officer was the “only subject” identified by police looking into the drug and weapons allegations. “The investigation into this matter is ongoing and is being pursued aggressively,” Chief Supt. Fraser editorial@ MacRae, the peacearchnews.com officer in charge of the Surrey detachment, said in the statement. “As it is still in its early stages, the amount of information that we can release is limited. In addition to privacy considerations, there is a need to protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation.”

news notes

Parlour owner charged

A 32-year-old Surrey woman has been charged with operating a house of prostitution. Vancouver Police Department said Jasmine Mangat is owner of ISHQ, an “adult massage” business on 3660 East Hastings St. Mangat was arrested at the business during a raid by vice-unit investigators Sept. 30. A second woman, 30-year-old Vanessa Alejandrina Hernandez, manager of the centre, turned herself in to police on Tuesday. Each is charged with one count of keeping a common bawdy house, one count of living on the avails of prostitution, and one count of procuring a person into the sex trade. Their next court appearance is Oct. 13.

Stolen laptop contained cherished family memories

Father ‘devastated’ by home robbery Alex Browne Staff Reporter

It’s just a simple pink notice, but Chris Purcell and his two children hope it melts the hard heart of someone who walked away with a laptop of memories. In the flyer, Purcell, a White Rock home reno contractor, is offering a $1,000 reward, no questions asked, for the return of his laptop – or at least the photos and videos that were downloaded onto it, irreplaceable records of memories he shares with his daughter Alexis, 10, and son Nathan, seven. The laptop was stolen from his Royal Avenue home last Sunday (Oct. 3) between one and three p.m. “Whoever it was took a video camera, around $500 in cash and a few other things,” Purcell said, as he and the children put up reward flyers around White Rock. “But the main concern for me is obviously the

computer, because I had not backed up any of the photos or videos of the children and I.” Purcell said neighbours had seen a suspicious male knocking on doors around the house at the time of the theft. The serial number of the computer, an HP G60 laptop, has been reported to White Rock RCMP, who have an ongoing file on the incident, Purcell added. The laptop was purchased in January of 2009, but Purcell said the memory was already almost completely full of photo and video files. “I’m a pretty keen photographer,” he said. Included among the material are shots and clips Purcell, Alexis and Nathan took at the Olympics, the children’s first major hockey games in Vancouver, a trip to Toronto, and an extended camping trip this summer which included stays in Kelowna and on the Thompson River. Purcell explained that he and his wife have

been separated for the last two years and are in the process of a divorce. “These last two years have been important bonding time for me and the kids,” he said. “This is just devastating for me.” Purcell said he’d been organizing all the files and he and the children had bought scrapbooks so that they could put together pictures of all the events. “I’d been procrastinating, but you don’t think somebody is going to pop in your house and take your laptop,” he said. His hope is that either the person who took the laptop – or somebody who knows who it is – will “have a heart” and either return the computer or a disc of the files. “It’s not as if the computer is worth that much,” Purcell said. “He got a big mittful of cash – he should have been happy with that.” Anyone with information is asked to call 604908-2242.

with hearing loss

Two occupants ‘secured’ � from page 1 Street in connection with the crime, and two Aldergrove homes were cordoned off with police tape. In South Surrey, police closed 24 Avenue to traffic between 180 and 176 Streets shortly after arriving at the murder scene. Motorists reported seeing at least six police vehicles, as well as unmarked police SUVs. A police dog team was also called in. A search of a home on the property located two individuals, who were “secured” while police investigated, Carr said. They are being treated as witnesses “until we find out out anything else,” Carr said. He did not know if any of the calls to police originated from the home, or if the deceased lived on the property or was related to the home’s occupants. It is also unknown by police what happened in the moments immediately before the shooting. “By talking to those people, we’re hoping that’s what’s going to sort out all that stuff for us.” The dog team located evidence in a bush area next to the home, Carr added, declining to disclose exactly

what was found. Police began canvassing neighbours for information shortly after the scene was secured. “In any event like this, our primary concern is safety of the public, so we wanted to make sure the area was secured before we started any of the background work,” RCMP Insp. Steve Wade said. “We’re looking for witnesses and anybody that’s seen anything in the area… trying to find suspects, anything like that.” Carr anticipated 24 Avenue would remain closed through Thursday and possibly into Friday. Anyone with information who has not already spoken to police is asked to contact the Surrey detachment at 604-599-0502. The incident is not the first time police have attended the neighbourhood. In March 2009, an explosion at a nearby property brought police, fire and ambulance crews to the scene. In the previous incident, a man was seen leaving the area in a red car, and locals said they suspected a perpetrator had mistakenly targeted the wrong house.

Epcor committed to a full upgrade of both Merklin reservoirs, including reconstruction of roofs and hatches, during the crisis. “As we said when the boil-water advisory was lifted, we got to work on that immediately,” Le Riche said. “But there were a number of engineering jobs and an amount of permitting that had to be done before we could actually start construction.” Work, which started Oct. 4, is being done Monday through Friday between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.

“It is construction, so we’re asking for people’s patience and understanding while it continues,” Le Riche said. A notice sent out to residents in the area of the 1500-block of Merklin warns of some traffic disruptions, parking limitations and storage of equipment and materials at the site: “Some occasional work beyond these hours may be required; however we will make every effort to complete daily tasks by 5:30 p.m.” According to Epcor, there should be no water-service interruptions during construction and water “remains safe to consume.”

editorial

After long summer, let the games begin

he anticipation is palpable. The tension is as thick as a January fog. Everywhere, hearts are buoyant with hope. Hockey season is about to begin. And for the 40th successive year, fans of the Vancouver Canucks – who open the season Saturday against the Los Angeles Kings – are united by a single thought: maybe this will be our year to win the Stanley Cup. Like sugar plums on Christmas Eve, images of the gleaming silver chalice dance in our heads. On Luongo, on Burrows. On Daniel and Henrik. On Kesler, on Raymond and Samuelsson. On Bieksa, on Ballard, and maybe even Edler. Will these be the players to lead the confetti parade up Burrard Street in June? Oh, to dream a little dream of championship glory. And Lord Stanley knows, Canucks fans have been dreaming a really, really long time. From their ill-fated loss of the wheel spin to decide the first pick in their very first amateur draft that gifted the Canucks’ expansion rivals, the Buffalo Sabres, with Gilbert Perrault and left them with Dale Tallon, the Canucks’ history has been fraught with lunch bag letdown. Perrault became a superstar. Tallon never scored more than 17 goals in a season. Although he eventually did lay the foundation for a Stanley Cup champion. As a general manager. In Chicago. Twice the Canucks came tantalizingly close to winning it all. Only to break our hearts. Along the way we’ve been electrified by the talents of players like Bure, Gradin, Mogilny, Naslund and the Sedins. We’ve respected the grit of Linden, Smyl, Snepsts, and even Tiger Williams. We’ve been befuddled by Bertuzzi, maddened by Messier and crucified by Cloutier. We booed LaForge and rued Keenan. We suffered the optical indignity of the “Flying V” yellow, black and red uniforms. But as the first days of October slip away, and the leaves turn gold and crimson, all of that history is forgotten. It’s a new hockey season. A new beginning. Nine months of triumphant goals and glorious victories lie stretched out before us, like a silver-bricked road leading to... Let’s get on with it.

PSA testing can detect cancer about five and a half years earlier than the physical exam. Granted, not all medical experts agree on the merits of many types of early cancer screening. The B.C. Cancer Agency is monitoring ongoing research on whether PSA tests actually improve prostate cancer survival rates, and a new study recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine questions the effectiveness of mammograms on breast cancer mortality. There is also the argument of anxiety arising and unnecessary treatment occurring as a result of “false positives.” But the PSA test is a preventative tool that, when used alongside other health-care practices – such as “watchful waiting” and performing biopsies or other assessment procedures – will increase quality of life for those diagnosed early, and likely, prevent fatalities. For years, women have benefitted from high-profile awareness campaigns encouraging them to get regular mammograms and pap smears, and the efforts have saved countless lives. Sadly, cancer that is unique to males (prostate, testicular) too often remains in the shadows, discussed only when it strikes close to home. It’s time to close the gender gap. Good on Hammell for drawing attention to this important issue. For more information visit www. prostatecancerbc.ca.

White Rock’s fine unchained Editor: Re: City has much bigger problem, Oct. 1 letters. In response to Doriana Barros’ letter to the editor, what we need in the City of White Rock is not a Starbucks or Cobs Bread or London Drugs, but a community that supports local business. I can name several coffee shops better than Starbucks, an excellent bakery on Johnston Road, along with a drug store to meet our needs – and many more. If the locals would support the businesses on Johnston between Pacific and 16 avenues, all their basic needs can be met, and with good service. And to go along with it, we have the best art galleries in the Lower Mainland. Get out of your cars, walk Johnston and shop locally. A visiting American told me she loves to shop here because we have several good thrift stores. More businesses will come if it is economically viable. Arlene McGinn, White Rock

Mayor gave a straight answer Editor: Re: Straight answers rare in world of politics, Oct. 1. I enjoy reading Lance Peverley’s columns. His writings are intelligent and thought-provoking. That being said, I don’t always agree with him, and this is one of those times. The media has a social responsibility to report facts in a news story in order for the readers to form their own opinions based on the best information available. Editors’ opinion articles allow the editors to voice their opinions about the subject, using whatever facts they choose to take from the story. Sometimes, people forget that they’re reading an opinion article, rather than a factual story. The editor has the advantage of making their opinion article sway the public in whatever way they wish. This can be politically motivated or not. I’m not judging here, but it’s important that Mayor Catherine Ferguson’s reply in the news article be stated here. In the case of these skateboarders, I’m really not sure if Peverley read the same Peace Arch News story that I did. The story I read (Skating the law, Aug. 27) mentioned that Ferguson’s reply to the skateboarders about bikes being legal – so why weren’t skateboards? – was that bikes have brakes, whereas skateboards rely on physical maneuvering to stop. I’m pretty sure that comment summed up her position quite nicely. If these youths didn’t understand what that meant, I’m sure their parents could explain that to them. That is, after all, their job. As for telling them what way the council would lean, well, she only

has the one vote. She couldn’t very well speak for the other councillors. I feel that the readers of the editor’s opinion need to know that was her comment, just in case some didn’t have the opportunity to read the original article. As to the RCMP cracking down on the skateboarders, I’m of the opinion that they should be cracking down on car drivers who don’t stop for stop signs. This is the real danger to cyclists, pedestrians, joggers, other vehicles and, yes, skateboarders. Bryn Taylor, White Rock

A better drink, straight up Editor: Re: Contempt hearing for dairy farmer, Sept. 24. Reading about the witch hunt regarding the Home On The Range dairy farmer, I wonder if the people at Fraser Health have nothing better to do. You could call this activity job creation. At least 90 per cent of the immigrants to this country, and many people who grew up on farms, have been raised with pure, not-doctored fresh milk, straight from the cow. And, surprise surprise, they all are healthy and strong. If I would know where this dairy

farmer is located, I would gladly buy a “part of a cow” to get some good milk. Hans Schmidt, Surrey

Love of music and community Editor: I can’t say enough about the 20l0 Gala Concert which took place last Saturday at the Surrey Arts Centre – A Night on Broadway. The songs were chosen from musicals, old and new, familiar to audience members, I am sure. Two standing ovations were proof that the program was much appreciated. Producers Christopher Simmons and Debra Debauch – well-known in musical circles – worked extremely hard, donating their time and energy in order to present this wonderful show. The performers and crew are to be highly commended for their generosity in donating the entire proceeds to benefit the Surrey Food Bank. We are a caring community. I believe this is the third year this event has taken place. I would encourage anyone with a love of music to make sure they attend future performances. I am certain this will become an annual event which deserves our support. M. Downey, White Rock

10-cent solution to $100 remedy Editor: I felt I had to share this with everyone who has Parkinson’s disease or knows someone who has it. A friend of mine has Parkinson’s and had been at a stage for the last year or so where he drooled frequently. Though my wife and I accepted it as the norm whenever we went out to a restaurant or theatre, he and his wife found it embarrassing. He had been prescribed a medication to control it, but it interfered with his other meds and wasn’t all that successful anyway, so he had to discontinue using it. Recently, he spoke to his doctor again about this problem and it was suggested he try chewing gum. It was a miracle. He no longer drools as long as he chews gum – as chewing makes one automatically swallow saliva, preventing a buildup – so he is more comfortable in company, and his wife no longer has to keep wiping the table and floors. A 10-cent solution to a $100 prescription remedy. This sounds like an infomercial but it works, so it’s worth a try. Hope this is useful to anybody with this ‘problem.’ Phil De Rosa, White Rock

Homeowner Ron Otke serves up a lunch to safety officer Chris Leigh and carpenter Tony Cafariello to say thanks.

We’re whistling while they work Editor: We live at 15165 Marine Dr. in White Rock, and we are under a green mesh as we are having major renovations to our condo complex. Many times we hear stories about how a general contractor does a terrible job and that the poor client is taken advantage of. Well, we feel the total opposite. Our general contractor, Heatherbrea, has lived up to all our expectations and then some – to such an extent that 17 of the 21 owners banded together to have a thank-you potluck luncheon on Wednesday this week. Our council chairperson, Shelley Nightingale, a

former school principal, has done an outstanding job in selecting, along with her renovation committee, an incredible general contractor. I would imagine you could count on one hand the number of clients who have given a thank-you luncheon to a general contractor. We felt we would be remiss in not acknowledging their excellent work so far. Their superintendent, Matt, and their foreman, Greg, are a perfect example of what you would like to have heading up your project. Thank you, Heatherbrea Construction. Jack P. Scott, White Rock

Evening cruise ends with a bang Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Emergency flares spotted off the shores of White Rock led police and Coast Guard Auxiliary crews to a sinking boat Tuesday night. The auxiliary’s Sig Kristensen said his team was tasked out just before 11 p.m. Oct. 5. When they arrived on-scene, they found a 34-foot pleasure boat taking on “a considerable amount of water” through its hull. “When we got there, he was hard aground,” Kristensen said of the Sundancer. “We’re not sure what he hit, but whatever he hit, he hit pretty hard. He was taking on more water than his bilge pumps could handle. The concern was that his boat would’ve been totally flooded.” The Sundancer, which its owner had

sailed from Crescent Beach to have dinner in White Rock, was about 150 metres from shore with three adults onboard. It was damaged where the stern drives go through the hull, Kristensen said. None of the vessel’s occupants was wearing lifejackets – a situation Kristensen noted is all-too-common amongst boaters. The auxiliary towed the distressed boat to White Rock pier and pumped out the water. A mechanic called to inspect the vessel noted engine damage was “pretty serious,” Kristensen said. Fortunately, no one was injured in the crash. “It was one of those situations where we’re not quite sure what initiated the incident, but everything turned out OK.”

Newton casino stalled Black Press

A Newton gaming centre has been stalled, after Surrey council denied the builders a development permit. Newton Square Properties wants to build a gaming centre at an existing mall at 7093 King George Blvd. The facility would include 150 slot machines, lottery games, bingo and entertainment services.The owner is also planning to renovate two of the commercial buildings in the mall as part of a $25-million construction project. The project was the subject of a highly contentious public hearing a year ago.

At the time, the project passed on a 5-4 vote. On Monday, in a highly unusual move, four Surrey councillors voted against giving Newton Square Properties permission to develop, a process which is usually a rubberstamp exercise. Without that permit, the developer cannot build. Mayor Dianne Watts, who has favoured the project, was ill at Monday’s council meeting and left early. Other councillors later defeated the development permit on a tie vote. Couns. Bob Bose, Marvin Hunt, Judy Villeneuve and Barinder Rasode voted against, while Couns. Linda Hepner, Tom Gill, Mary Martin and Barbara Steele were in support.

Cigarettes cause balcony fire Carelessly discarded cigarettes ignited a balcony fire at a White Rock apartment last month. And while the blaze was discovered and extinguished in short order, deputy fire Chief Bob Schlase said the outcome “absolutely” had the potential to be a lot worse. The fire, reported at 3:30 p.m. Sept. 17, occurred at a top-floor unit in a two-storey building in the 14900block of Roper Avenue. A neighbour spotted smoke and alerted the building manager, who responded with a fire extinguisher,

Schlase said. When fire crews arrived, the blaze was on its way out, he said. No one was home at the time of the fire and damage was contained to items on the balcony. The structure itself was not impacted, a point Schlase credited in part to the building’s stucco exterior. The incident is a reminder to those who smoke of the importance of ensuring their cigarettes are thoroughly extinguished, Schlase said. “If you’re going to smoke, use care and caution,” he said. - Tracy Holmes

Money supports schools’ extracurricular activities

Surrey PACs get grant funds Parent Advisory Councils (PACs) in 105 Surrey schools will get about $10,500 apiece in community gaming grants this year. The PACs are sharing more than $1.13 million allocated from the province – money that is meant to support activities such as drama clubs, music competitions, speech contests, chess clubs, field trips, yearbooks, playground and sports equipment and awards. “Through these gaming grants, we’re supporting tons of extracur-

ricular activities that educate students beyond the classroom,” says Surrey-Panorama MLA Stephanie Cadieux. “Whether it is for clubs, competitions or additional equipment, it all adds to a child’s growth.” Funding is also being provided to District Parent Advisory Councils (DPACs) to build relationships and promote effective communication among parents, schools and the community. DPACs are comprised of mem-

bers from each PAC in a district. DPACs receive grants of $2,500 annually, while PAC grants are based on each schools’ student enrolment and are paid at $20 per student. Funding for PACs is part of $120 million budgeted for gaming grants this year – $7.4 million more than last year.

news New impaired driving rules spur more service

Night buses busy as partiers shift to transit Jeff Nagel Black Press

TransLink is adding more latenight buses to meet demand from revellers who increasingly want to take transit rather than drive home after drinking. B.C.’s tough new drunk driving penalties – stiffer fines, impoundments and licence suspensions kicked in Sept. 20 – are the apparent reason for the behaviour shift, Coast Mountain Bus Co. officials say. NightBuses run out of downtown after SkyTrain stops running, mirroring the rapid transit system and some other high-traffic corridors. “We’re getting a lot more people,” spokesman Derek Zabel said. “A lot of people want to avoid driving, they opt for a safe ride home and take the bus.” Several NightBus routes switched in late September from standard buses to longer highercapacity articulated buses that take about 110 passengers. Friday and Saturday nights have been particularly busy, Zabel said, with standing room only on many buses. As of Oct. 8 the N19 NightBus, which parallels the Expo Line via Kingsway from Vancouver to New Westminster and Surrey, adds an additional run leaving downtown at 2:30 a.m. That will only go as far as New Westminster, but Zabel said it should relieve pressure on the 2:39 N19 run that does go to Surrey. The N19 also leaves at 2:09, 3:00 and 3:09. Twelve routes in all serve Coquitlam, Richmond, Burnaby, New Westminster, Surrey, the North Shore and other parts of Vancouver, including UBC, where an extra run has also been added. (For routes and times see www.translink.ca.) Even more buses may have to be thrown onto the late-night routes to keep up, predicts Jim Houlahan, vice-president of Canadian Auto Workers local 111, the union representing bus drivers. He says NightBuses are routinely “packed to the rafters”

Madison Tyrell goes under the razor to support Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation

Teens brave razor for mom, coach Tracy Holmes

Staff Reporter

adison Tyrell didn’t bat an eye at the thought of shaving her head in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. “It’s just hair,” the 15-year-old Semiahmoo Secondary student said of her straight brown mane last week, prior to Friday’s event. “Compared to most girls, I think I’m more OK with it. It’s going to a great cause and someone else can use it more than I can.” Tyrell, in Grade 11 at Semiahmoo, organized her Hair for Hope event to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Oct. 1 shave – during which three other students from Southridge and Earl Marriott secondaries also cut their hair – was in honour of Tyrell’s soccer coach’s mom, Gina Clarke, who died of breast cancer last December. “We were all really close to our coach and it was a hard time for him,” Tyrell explained. The event raised $4,000 for the cause, including $400 on shave day alone, from students who offered cash for a chance to help lop Tyrell’s mop. On hand for Friday’s close crop, Jeff Clarke said he was touched by Tyrell’s efforts. The talented Surrey United Metro goalie’s generosity is a bright light during a dark time for the soccer community, he said, referring to last month’s beating death of 15-yearold Laura Szendrei, who played with the

(It’s) nice to know that someone like Madison… will inject that admiration and inspiration into the community,”

Clarke said. When it was all said and done, Tyrell had no regrets. “I’m happy I did it. Someone else can really use it,” she said, as her peers gathered around to offer

congratulatory hugs and get a feel of her newly cropped coif. Tyrell registered Hair for Hope as an event of CBCF’s Brave the Shave program. Earl Marriott’s Sunayna Samra and Southridge’s

PAH volunteers honoured at annual awards gala On Monday at its annual awards gala, Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation honoured five Peninsula residents for their contributions. The five award winners were recognized during PAHCHF’s Friends of the Foundation Awards and Donor Reception, which was held at Morgan Creek Golf Club. This year’s recipients were Dragana Sanderson, Alan Hambrook, Merry-Ann Keane, Sylvia Olsen and Ellen Kennett. Sanderson received the Financial Friend Award, which recognizes financial advisors, planners, bankers and insurance professionals. According to a release, Sanderson has “worked tirelessly on behalf of the foundation” in her role as board chair, and “embodies and champions the foundation in everything she does.”

Hambrook, meanwhile, was given the Legal Friend Award, given annually to lawyers and notaries. Hambrook, who has practised law – specifically estate planning – on the Peninsula for more than 40 years, has had numerous clients become donors to the foundation. Keane, who has worked as a nurse and now a manager at Peace Arch Hospital since 2000, was awarded the Medical Friend Award. Keane and her team has worked closely with the foundation on its Oh, Baby! campaign for a new maternity ward. “Her enthusiasm for this exciting project is contagious and an inspiration for everyone who tours the maternity ward,” the foundation said in a release. Thanks to numerous donations to the

Olsen – whose late husband, Kjell, was treated as PAH during a battle with abdominal mesothelioma – has for the last 10 years donated to many projects, including the palliative care unit. Kennett was the recipient of the Award of Distinction – a special category honouring “those who have made extraordinary contributions to the health and wellness of our community.” The lifetime achievement award was given to Kennett for more than 50 years of service. In that time, she has served a number of capacities, including as a volunteer; president of the Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary; hospital trustee and chair of the board of trustees. She is also the foundation’s official historian.

Mariah Basran starts laughing as her grandmother suddenly backs her down the hall. Manjeet Bilan has discovered some part of Mariah’s delicate silk sari requires adjusting with pins and she is not about to do it in the foyer of her Surrey home with a Black Press reporter and photographer – both men – present. At 16, Mariah is a tall, athletic tomboy with a low black belt in kickboxing who up until now has made her fashion statements with jeans and T-shirts. This is the first time she’s expressed an interest in something as girly and grown-up as a sari, and both her mother Vicky and grandmother have been fussing over her like she was a life-sized dress-up doll. Mom has donated jewelry, a wrist-full of bracelets and the gold bindi ornamental dot on Mariah’s forehead. Grandmother has loaned Mariah a sari of crepe de Chine silk in Mehendi green (so-called because it resembles the colour of the green henna plant used as a temporary tattoo-like decoration for special events such as weddings and community festivals) with hand-embedded tiny copper beads. It is the same dress that Manjeet specialordered from a shop in Jaipur, India in 1974. When she arrived in Canada wearing a different sari, not quite as nice for travelling, she asked her husband about the stares she attracted as she walked though the airport in Richmond. Gurbaksh Bilan explained that her choice of dress was an unusual sight in her new country. That has changed since then, with more

ways of draping the sari, but the most common style is around the waist, covering the midriff with one end over the shoulder. In ancient times, poor women would wear saris made of cotton while their wealthier counterparts wore silk. The best saris, it was said, used a very finely woven silk that could be passed through a finger ring. The fabric Mariah is wearing would probably pass that test, even with the copper beading. Manjeet Bilan has kept it carefully stored since she came to Canada, taking it out for special occasions. When Mariah’s mother Vicky was old enough, she was allowed to borrow it. Now Mariah has become the third generation of women in her family to learn how to walk in flowing silk that brushes the floor, stepping forward with her toes pointed just so to make the hem billow slightly. That way, she won’t risk stepping on the fabric. It’s a measured, regal gait. “You feel like a princess,” Mariah reports. “She looks gorgeous,” her mother says. Grandmother beams with pride.

Firefighters Evan Bird, Ed Wolfe, Mike Bancroft and Scott Booth – who got behind the wheel – admire the fire hall’s new truck, a fully restored 1925 Studebaker.

Fire truck returns to hall Three decades after it was last seen on the Peninsula, the White Rock fire department’s 1925 Studebaker fire truck returned home last month. The truck, which took Coquitlam’s Mac Robinson and Bob Nairn four years to restore, was originally donated to the Shriners’ B.C. and Yukon branch’s

vintage car club, at which time its White Rock roots were discovered. The truck was donated back to the fire hall, and arrived fully restored on Sept. 26. The truck was in rough shape when the project began – a barn had collapsed on top of it. All the restoration work was done by

volunteers, and the firefighters pitched in $5,000 to help out. “We feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment,” White Rock firefighter Scott Booth told Peace Arch News last month. “It’s just really nice to bring a piece of White Rock’s history back to the city so everyone can look at it and enjoy it.”

White Rock Station in 1915. Right, White Rock Museum and Archives historian Hugh Ellenwood and museum manager Shelly Copping look over renovation plans. about all the hobo jungles from here to San Francisco.” By the 1920s, White Rock had developed a business district of confectionaries, hotels, theatres, ice cream parlours and dance halls, many of them clustered near the station. Superiority of rail transportation and communication abilities began to wane in the 1960s and 1970s, as road traffic became predominant. In 1971, passenger service to White Rock was discontinued. The station lingered on in lonely existence handling freight for another four years. Then the railway moved its operation to a trailer near the

border and closed the station. As if in sympathy, the neighbourhood adjacent to the station began to decline as well. By the early 1970s, Marine Drive had relinquished its status as the centre of the community to Hilltop. Burlington Northern sold the station to the City of White Rock in 1976 for one dollar, on the condition that it be used as a resource for the community. White Rock Historical Society, aware of its historical significance, successfully lobbied in 1979 to have the station designated the first official municipal heritage site. By the early 1980s, the station

was looking its age. Repairs were badly needed and the foundation had become unstable. In 1984 the entire building was jacked up and moved 20 feet north, onto a new foundation. The sundial on the promenade marks the spot where the station stood before this move. The White Rock Museum and Archives has occupied the station since 1991. Lack of space has now become a critical problem. Collections increase while the size of the building remains the same. The revitalization project will maximize gallery and storage space through a more efficient floor plan. Another long-anticipated improvement will be the restoration of the original breezeway to allow access to the building from Marine Drive. All this will take six months. Meanwhile, the staff is holed up in a portable just west of the building. If you’re not claustrophobic, come by and say ‘Hi’.

Surrey inmate to serve additional 14 months

Jailbreak plans foiled Dan Ferguson Black Press

A 21-year-old Surrey man has been sentenced to 14 more months in custody at the Surrey Pretrial Services Centre over a failed escape attempt. In 2009, the inmate promised to pay a friend $1,000 to break him and a cellmate out of the 149-cell holding facility at 14323 57 Ave. that serves the Surrey courthouse. The plan called for the outside man to break into the centre and bring the two convicts a bag of tools. He was supposed to cut through the security fences then signal them with a flashlight so they could pull the bag up to their cell using a rope they’d made with sheets and garbage bags. The associate picked up clothes for the escapees then stashed a hacksaw, bolt cutters, flashlight and black toque in a duffle bag and took a bus to the jail the evening of Jan. 29. He cut through three chain link fences to get inside the pretrial centre’s secured parking lot. When the two would-be escapees spotted their confederate, they smashed out their window and began shouting at him to pass up the bag. Before that could happen, the outside man was arrested by prison guards who’d spotted him on exterior security

cameras. At the time of his arrest, the man was carrying a written escape plan in point form. The bag of tools was found nearby. Meanwhile, the sound of breaking glass attracted the attention of other guards inside the centre. One of the inmates had used a prison telephone to plot the getaway. The conversation was recorded, but the audio was not reviewed by prison authorities until the break-out bid was discovered. Details were disclosed in a police search warrant application for the recording. The inmate who made those phone calls pleaded guilty to the criminal offence of attempting to break out of prison. He is only identified in the written reasons by his initials, P.B.J. because his youth court record was included in the document. The cellmate involved in the same attempt was also charged, but that was later stayed by the Crown prosecutor’s office. The outside man was sentenced to 156 days plus one year’s probation after he pleaded guilty to one count of assisting a person in attempting to escape from prison. At the time of the failed escape, the outside man did not have a criminal record.

to every household over the next two years are expected to help BC Hydro pull the plug on many indoor pot growers. The devices are intended to give consumers real-time information on their power use to promote conservation and energy-saving tricks, such as setting smart appliances to run at night to take advantage of lower rates that are to be offered at off-peak times. But the gadgets will also give BC Hydro instant data on outages and much more accurate information on locations where unusual amounts of power are vanishing from the system. Taylor admits grow-ops may well adapt, noting they are often power conservation superstars. “They’re very innovative customers,” Taylor said. “They are doing everything possible to reduce their consumption so they don’t get caught.” Many are “early adopters” of off-grid self-generated power

B.C. marijuana growers are now stealing electricity worth $100 million a year – a number that has skyrocketed in the past four years. That’s a preliminary estimate disclosed by B.C. Hydro officials in advance of a formal report to the B.C. Utilities Commission later this fall. “We’re convinced theft has almost doubled since 2006,” said Fiona Taylor, BC Hydro’s acting director of smart metering and infrastructure. The amount of power stolen in 2006 was worth $30 million then – or $40 million at 2010 rates – equivalent to one per cent of what all legitimate customers pay. Taylor said the numbers are still being finalized but it’s thought thieves now tap between 900 and 1,100 gigawatt-hours of electricity a year, up from 500 in 2006. She spoke after disclosing the $100-million loss estimate at a clean energy forum at last week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. Safety is a serious issue with grow-ops because meter tampering to disguise power use or illegal bypasses to tap outside wires can spark fires or worse. Hot wires left by power thieves on a pole are one example. “If one of our guys doesn’t know it’s there and touches it or your car crashes into it, you’re fried,” Taylor said. Smart meters that will roll out

and the use of energy-savers like LED lights, she said. Hydro’s goal, she said, isn’t to become an arm of the police but to simply “stop people stealing our electricity.” Smart metering won’t be cheap. BC Hydro pegs the price tag at $930 million but estimates the system will save $1.5 billion through conservation and plugging holes from theft. Not everyone is convinced. Jim Quail, executive director of the B.C. Public Interest Advocacy Centre, warns the costs of smart metering will drive electricity rates even higher. “The costs are enormous,” he said. “Smart meters are a very expensive way to not really achieve very much.” BC Hydro already raised rates nine per cent in April and plans to jack them another 17 per cent next year and five to 10 per cent in each of the following three years. Two-tier rates are also now in effect that charge users 6.27 cents per kilowatt-hour on the first 1,350 hours and then 40 per cent more (8.78 cents) on all power used after that. Quail said households may get hit even harder if smart meters end up costing more than projected or require frequent security fixes. Critics have questioned whether the web-based system will open a door for hackers to attack the grid or steal customers’ private information.

The accused teenagers both have relatives who sit in the courtroom visitors’ gallery at the very back, two rows behind Matthew’s parents and friends. It is the second time Syd and Cheryl have heard the details of the night their son was critically injured. Both attended a 10-day preliminary hearing of the evidence in Surrey that found sufficient grounds for a full trial. Both say it doesn’t get any easier hearing the details a second time.

As Syd Skura listens to the hourby-hour recounting of his son’s activities leading up to the parking lot incident, there are moments when he says it’s as though he’s been cast back in time. “I’ve got to phone Matt and tell him not to go,” Skura will think. “He’s going to get hurt.” “It feels like Matt died two weeks ago,” Cheryl Vinall says. “It really does.” The trial before a judge, with no jury, is expected to last until Oct. 22.

New treaties remain elusive in B.C. Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. Treaty Commission released its 17th annual report Tuesday, describing a year of symbolic successes, mounting debts and continued federal delays in treaty negotiations around the province. The symbols include restoring the traditional name of Haida Gwaii for the islands of B.C.’s northern coast, and recognition of the Olympic host first nations as heads of state. Treaty commissioners said those are the latest signs that the federal and provincial governments are moving to full recognition of aboriginal rights and title in B.C. The debts have climbed to $397 million, lent to more than 50 aboriginal groups in treaty talks since the commission began in 1993. Those loans begin to come due in the summer of 2011, but chief commissioner Sophie Pierre said agreement has been reached to extend the deadline for beginning repayment for another 10 years. “First Nations that

The latest federal delay is a freeze on allocating treaty shares of fish, while a judicial inquiry probes the state of Fraser River salmon runs. That inquiry is expected to report its findings by May of 2011. Salmon sharing agreements were reached with the Sliammon and Yale First Nations in southwestern B.C. before the inquiry began, and those communities are preparing a vote of members to ratify their completed treaties.

fishing rights with Ottawa and reached a final agreement,

but one of its three member communities withdrew from the deal and is negotiating amendments. The 220-member Yekooche First Nation in northwestern B.C. has agreed to a treaty settlement, except for the fish settlement that awaits federal approval. The Lheidli T’enneh First Nation near Prince George is facing a new deadline to decide whether it will hold a second ratification vote. A majority of members rejected a completed

treaty in 2007, and the federal government has indicated its part of the land and cash offer will be withdrawn by the end of November. In 2008, the Tsawwassen First Nation in Metro Vancouver and MaaNulth First Nations on Vancouver Island ratified the first treaties produced under the B.C. Treaty Commission. Pierre said their progress in developing land and resources is a positive sign for other groups in treaty talks.

GET-AWAYS Escapes from Winter By George Bell, Bell Tours, Inc. Some of you only want to cruise and this is relatively easy to decide on a destination.

Rich reds, yellows, oranges, and browns are beginning to appear on foliage, providing indisputable proof of fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival. You know that winter will soon be at our doorstep. And just as our birds begin their migration to warmer climates, White Rock and South Surrey residents are making plans for their escape from winter. We at Bell Travel have a number of ideas for you to consider. But, of course, suggestions are not what you want to learn about until you have decided what type of get-away you are looking for and what time of year. The rest of this article will hopefully assist you in this regard. For those wanting to get away from people and yet still experience them, consider renting and driving an RV somewhere in Australia. Heather and I travel there often and simply enjoy hitting the road. You must choose the area to visit based on the time of year you go. We certainly would not be close to the equator in the middle of our winter. Leave that for the middle of their winter. Otherwise stay in the south of that delightful country.

What you may wish to do is choose a different cruise line than you are accustomed to. There are so many choices in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market than there ever was. Of course, we will not suggest a vessel that we are sure you would not be happy travelling on. Just ask us.

TRAVEL & CRUISES

How about those who enjoy group travel? There are so many destinations for you to consider. Perhaps you were at our South America Tour evening and wish to go there. It truly is an exciting area to visit. If not there, visit one of the many other areas in this fascinating world of ours. Eastern Europe? Africa? Southeast Asia? China? There are so many to choose from. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to consider Canada as a destination, either. Newfoundland is one of my favourite destinations in the summer but so is the whole east

coast area. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the prairies either. There is so much to experience in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Spend a few days in Temple Gardens in Moose Jaw. It draws people from all over western Canada. Visit Smashed In Head Buffalo Jump just a short drive from scenic Waterton Lakes National Park. You will wonder why you had not visited them before. There are so many other considerations as well. Perhaps you just want a long term stay in a great location for our winter. May I suggest the Gold Coast in Australia? Or Kauai in Hawaii. Or a lovely spot in Arizona? How about a condo in Panama or Costa Rica? We would be pleased to help you choose. If you are looking for information on travelling in Australia, I shall be teaching a 2-hour course on Oct. 14th for White Rock Leisure. Perhaps that will help you decide. Give us a call at 604-535-2587 and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be pleased to assist you choose the perfect get-away for this coming year. Have a great Thanksgiving weekend.

Henry’s Glasses sheds light on pain, suffering of Japanese-Canadian families during the Second World War

Exploring dark chapter through child’s eyes Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

t was a dark chapter in Canadian history, one that, despite more recent official apologies from the federal government, continues to remain obscure. Although many may still debate the rights and wrongs of a national security policy that interned Japanese-Canadian families for ❝I thought it the duration of the Second was important World War, it’s that people an episode that remembered is still largely unknown this.❞ to younger Brendan Uegama Canadians. filmmaker But a little more light is being shed on it for future generations by Toronto-based filmmaker Brendan Uegama, who grew up in White Rock, South Surrey and Tsawwassen, where he graduated from South Delta Secondary, before attending Capilano College. His 20-minute short film, Henry’s Glasses, is set to premiere Oct. 11 at the Vancouver International Film Festival, with performances at 3:30 p.m. at the

The cast of Henry’s Glasses includes Uegama’s father (third from left, back row). The short film is set to premier Oct. 11. Pacific Cinematheque and 9:30 p.m. at the Empire Granville 7 Theatre 2. Uegama’s movie is a gentle look at the subject through – literally and figuratively – the eyes of a child, inspired partly by the experiences of his own family. His father, Walter, was one of those interned during the war. “I didn’t know much about it – my father didn’t speak about it much when I was a child,”

Uegama said by phone from Toronto, where he is working as the director of photography on another project. “But I was interested in learning more about it as I began to grow up a bit and began to explore my parents and family’s history. “I didn’t learn much about it in high school, that’s for sure – I think they spent half an hour on it at most. The whole subject matter was surprising to me – and

the fact that it had happened in Canada.” When Japan entered the war with a surprise attack on Pearl Harbour, it had a direct and devastating impact on people of Japanese descent in North America, who were immediately classed as “enemy aliens” in a wave of officially sanctioned suspicion and distrust. In Canada, families of Japanese descent – although many were Canadian citizens born on Canadian soil – were rounded up and shipped to internment camps. In B.C., Japanese-Canadians – many of them fishermen and their families who had settled in Steveston – found themselves dispossessed of livelihood, houses and possessions and transported to camps in the B.C. Interior. Among those relocated to a camp in Greenwood in 1942 was Walter Uegama, then just four years old. Uegama acknowledges the experience of his father, as a child in that situation, inspired him to create the story of Henry, an eight-year-old internee at the Tashme camp in the Sunshine Valley region of B.C., in 1945. Henry (Mathew Nomura) has been given a pair of magical

glasses by his grandfather, glasses that give him the ability to see “a brighter day” full of colour and music beyond the bleak harshness of the camp. When he tries to share this outlook with Mr. Yamamoto, a depressed elderly man who used to know his grandfather, they find the glasses don’t help. But Henry persists, and eventually, touched by Henry’s kindness, generosity and optimism, Mr. Yamamoto (Walter Uegama) begins to see the world the way that Henry sees it. “I didn’t want to make something that pointed fingers at people or brought up bad feelings and memories,” noted Uegama. “But I thought it was important that people remembered this. “I thought that taking the story through the eyes of a child was a nice innocent way to approach the subject (of the camps). That’s what life was to the children – they didn’t know any different.” Filming was done in the Sunshine Valley with help from the Directors Guild of Canada and current land owners Sunshine Valley Development, and a dedicated crew of volunteers, including Uegama’s friends, � see page 34

CROSSWORD

A new role for father

I bought a house in a small subdivision which has a restrictive covenant limiting the height of trees and hedges. My neighbour has allowed the hedge on his property to exceed the allowable height by several feet and it now interferes with my view of Semiahmoo Bay. I have written letters to him but he has done nothing to trim the hedge. Can I go on his property and remove the offending part of the hedge and send him the bill for so doing?

No. Unless the restrictive convenant specically authorizes you to trespass on his property to cut back the hedge you cannot do so. He would be entitled to sue you for trespass. Your remedy is to commence an action for damages for the reduction in value of your property because of the loss of view. NEW CLIENTS WELCOME

parents and uncles and aunts. “It took about 50 people to make the movie – it was pretty intensive process. Construction (of the camp set) took a couple of months and we took a week to shoot it.” Ironically, although Uegama auditioned a series of actors for the role of Mr. Yamamoto, it was his father, who aced it – even though he had no prior acting experience. “One night he was joking around about it, and I had him read some of the lines, and he was pretty good, so I had him come in to audition. I cast him on one condition, that he would go to acting school for a couple of months and work through it with acting coaches. “But he blew me away on set – I had tears in a couple of scenes.”

From life behind the bench to penning books Sheila Reynolds Black Press

She’s a quirky only child, but generally happy, despite having somewhat limited social skills and an annoying tendency of blindly quoting her Catholic grandmother’s advice. But Lucy’s comfortable life attending private school while living in a large home in a snobby Surrey neighbourhood begins to unravel when her parents separate. The 13-year-old and her mom, who is just 28, move to a lessthan-luxurious trailer park. Now Lucy not only has to keep her restless and rebellious mother in check, but she has to attend a public school where she doesn’t

not have the answers this time. Lucy is the creation of Surrey author Carole Lazar and is the main character and narrator of Lazar’s premier published novel, Lucy Unstrung. The paperback, intended for youth readers, came to fruition after a lifetime of casual writing and storytelling. She also used to write and tell elaborate tales to her own kids. While her daughter and her friends were out playing, Lazar would sit home and pen serialized stories, so each time the girls came back, there would be another chapter or two. A retired lawyer and provincial court judge, Lazar always dreamed

of being an author. “When I was a lawyer, every time I went to a party, people would say ‘oh, I always wanted to be a lawyer.’ And then I realized I was doing exactly the same thing, saying ‘I always wanted to be a writer.’ “I sort of told myself to get off the pot or pee.” So she set out to write “the world’s worst novel” about five years ago. It was a way of overcoming her own inhibitions. The only goal was to complete it. She succeeded. Her first novel, Lazar admits, was quite bad. Lucy Unstrung is her second

book. The first novel has since undergone multiple revisions and is headed for publication in the next couple of years. Lazar began penning Lucy about three or four years ago. She submitted the manuscript to publisher Tundra Books in 2007 and signed a contract early last year. The past number of months have been spent making final changes and coming up with a cover design. While her first novel involved two familiar topics – the criminal justice system and hiking – Lazar’s idea for Lucy Unstrung came after the budding author thought a bit about what else she knew. “I thought, I could have fun with someone who’s a really staunch Catholic, but had a really quaint way of looking at it.” Lazar wasn’t raised Roman Catholic, but converted later in life. “As an adult, you get

a proper education in it and maybe have a little more sophistication, shall we say, about it,” she says. The book doesn’t put the church down, but is sympathetic toward the young and sometimes naive protagonist, often using humour to point to her foibles. The story is set in Surrey, where Lazar has lived for the past couple of years since moving from Vancouver Island. The mother of two adult children and grandmother of two boys practised law for 10 years from 1979 to 1989 before serving as a provincial court judge in Coquitlam, Surrey and Vancouver Island for 19 years. While she dealt with many family law cases during her career and saw the impact of marital separations on children, she didn’t necessarily set out to include that professional knowledge in the book. “But I guess, whether you’re intending to or not, you draw on your experiences,” she says. Lucy Unstrung is available at most major bookstores.

‘Weird’ is in eye of beholder Jessica Peters Black Press

Author Mark Thorburn is looking for B.C.’s quirkiest laws and bylaws. He’s searching history books, archives, newspapers, and has even appealed to municipal law makers themselves, asking them to point him toward any oddball legislation, to include in his upcoming book. This would be his fifth book, following up his most recent, British Columbia Place Names. Other titles include The Executive Branch; Leading the Nation, the Bathroom Book of Oregon Trivia and the Bathroom Book of B.C. History. Strange, antiquated laws are not easy to find, he says, but when he finds one it’s like hitting the veritable mother lode. It’s illegal to climb a tree in Oshawa, for example. And until 1986, men and women swimming in certain areas in Vancouver had to be covered from “neck to knee.” But not every strange law is one that pops out and causes such a stir. “Most bylaws are pretty mundane,” he says. They seem normal at the time of being passed, and then as time goes on and society changes, they become obscure. “Very few mayors or members of council would ever adopt a bylaw that would be considered

Mark Thorburn’s new book highlights B.C.’s strangest laws.

weird,” he says. “But they (bylaws) can become strange over time.” Curfews for children, and laws prohibiting caucasian women from serving tables in a Chinese restaurant probably seemed quite normal when they were adopted, he says. And by the time the laws were changed, they are often quietly repealed and quickly forgotten. What a shame to forget the past, though. So, Thorburn has been spending his recent days at the Vancouver Archives, looking for material in daily newspapers and other sources. He’s asked archivists for help, with little positive response. And while he’s received an acknowl-

edgement from the District of Kent, no strange or bizarre bylaws have been handed over. Thorburn, a well-studied attorney with a handful of master’s degrees (Canadian and American History), says this book will focus solely on law. But it’s not just strange laws he’s looking for. Any law-related stories are of interest for his upcoming work. There was the extremely tall jurist in Phoenix, B.C. (a ghost town which sits at 1,400 m above sea level) who liked to brag he was the highest judge in the highest court. And then there are the Judge Begbie stories, also known as “The Hanging Judge.” Surely there are stories like those in many of our cities and small towns across the province. With the letters he sent out to each municipality, he’s offered up a completed copy of the book to the local library for any suggestions. And what constitutes “weird?” Well, that is truly in the eye of the beholder. “For instance, I found a 1925 provincial statute that stated the driving speed at 25 miles per hour, 15 miles in town. “Some people may think that’s weird, others may not.” If you have something you’d like to share with Thorburn, feel free to email him at thorburn52@hotmail.com

HOME

Protect your investment!

Whether you’re already a home owner or you’re thinking about becoming one very soon, buying a house is probably the biggest investment you’ll ever make. So it’s vital that this investment be protected in every possible way, firstly by maintaining it on a regular basis and secondly by carrying out renovations, whenever possible, to give it a new and fresher look. Home renovations contribute a great deal to the economy of this country. Indeed this sector equals or even exceeds construction of new homes in some years. Keeping up the maintenance of a house and carrying out high quality renovations offer many different advantages. A house which is looked after properly will retain or even increase in value. When the time comes to sell, owners don’t just recuperate their investment, but in a lot of cases they can also realize a certain amount of profit. This increased value can, in turn, open the way to purchasing a larger, more luxurious house. But whether we decide to sell or to stay in the same home, a well-maintained and renovated property will give the occupants a better quality of life. Perhaps it will have a more welcoming decor, a more efficient heating system, a more ergonomic kitchen, a more comfortable bathroom, a cosier bedroom… All these factors demonstrate just how important it is to take good care of a home, keeping it attractive and in a good state of repair. For, in more ways than one, a house is truly a lifetime’s investment.

Titans win on late-game TD toss Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

s far as John Martins can figure, there are only a few plays within the course of a football game that directly impact the outcome. Lucky for Martins’ White Rock-South Surrey Titans’ midget team, all those plays came in a hurry as the clocked ticked down in their game against the Cloverdale Bengals last Sunday at South Surrey Athletic Park. With under one minute remaining in the game, and with the Titans trailing 20-10 to the Bengals – who had control of the ball – White Rock’s Riley Cantner intercepted a pass deep into the Bengals’ territory. Now with the ball, Titans’ quarterback Matt Calderwood wasted little time putting points on the board, quickly connecting with receiver Brendan LeMoignan on a nine-yard touchdown

strike, to bring the home team within three. The momentum swing continued on the ensuing kickoff, when Titans’ kicker Nathan Leader executed a short onside kick. After a mad scramble for the loose ball, Leader actually recovered it himself, with a little help from LeMoignan. “What’s amazing was that the kick was actually a little bit short of the (minimum) 10 yards, but one of their guys happened to contact the ball, which meant it was live,” Martins explained. “If they hadn’t touched the ball, we would’ve been whistled for the short kick, they would take possession and the game would’ve been over.” With possession regained but time ticking away, Calderwood only had time for two chances at the end zone. His first pass fell incomplete, but his second – a Hail Mary, lastgasp attempt – found the waiting hands of run-

ning back Willie Watson, who, with Cloverdale defenders draped all over him, hauled in the 49-yard pass and just edged across the goal line to give the Titans the 24-20 win. “At first, I didn’t think he got across (the goal line) but he must’ve just made it,” said Martins. “It was a great play. Those are the kinds of endings that are usually only written in storybooks. We just happened to make a bunch of those impact plays right at the end.” The victory improved the Titans’ record to 2-2, while the Bengals dropped to 3-2. And while Martins said the team has had a tough schedule so far, Sunday’s win has put an extra jump in the team’s collective step. “We had a very, very good practice (on Tuesday) – the guys were all really pumped up,” he said. “That’s a very good team we were up against last week. They’re very sound in all areas.”

soccer scene Offence explodes

After struggling to score earlier in the season, the Semiahmoo U18 Adrenaline’s offence finally came alive Sunday, in a 6-1 win over the Sunshine Coast Stingrays. Semi – which had scored just one goal in its previous two outings – was led by birthday girl Jessica Walter, who had three goals a day before her 17th birthday. “This is my first hat trick since I was seven years old,” she said. “I will consider this my birthday present.” Other Semi markers came from Robyn Venema – who blasted a shot from inside the 18-yard line – Sam Steele and Laura Jean Pringle. Sara Passiniemi was solid between the pipes for Adrenaline; the only goal to get past her came on a free kick early in the contest. Defensively, Semiahmoo was anchored by Brooke Isherwood, Alexis Steer, Karina Smeds, Taryn Richards and Katie Bicknell, according to coach Bruno Hoffman. Midfielder Kira de Leeuw and team captain Madison Wells also had strong efforts, he added. Before the game, both teams observed one minute of silence in honour of Laura Szendrei, the Delta soccer play who died earlier this month after being attacked in Mackie Park.

Many people would like to start building equity in their own home, but are held back by concerns about cost Media reports of housing prices can give a misleading impression about the cost of home-ownership. The media typically reports median or average prices without explaining the distribution of home prices behind those figures. A median price is the price at which half the homes sold for more while half sold for less. That means that there are just as many homes that sold at a price lower than the median than those that sold at prices higher than the median price. The median price doesn’t give any indication of the spread of these prices. Many properties are sold at much lower - and higher, of course prices than the median price. An average price is the total dollar volume of homes sold for a particular period, divided by the number of units sold. Average prices are typically reported for the sales activity in a given area for a given month, quarter or year, and provide a snapshot of past activity. Average prices of properties sold in the past give only a limited indication of what housing inventory for sale is priced at today. An understanding of the housing in a particular community is needed to put average prices into perspective. For example, sales of a new sub-division or townhouse

project of larger, upscale homes at higher prices will bring the overall average price up, giving the impression that all housing prices have risen, when in reality, prices for the other housing units in the community have not changed, or they may have even dropped. The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board was the first real estate board in Canada to offer a housing price index (HPI) which tracks the price of a typical, or benchmark property. HPI statistics can often provide a new depth of interpretation to average and median statistics. Ask a Fraser Valley REALTOR® for details. Low mortgage rates combined with affordability and selection have made Fraser Valley communities increasingly popular for buyers. A REALTOR® with experience in the community in which you’re interested in buying can provide a knowledgeable market analysis and show you what is available within your budget.

You may well find that you can afford that dream of home ownership, after all.

Nault, Joseph Gilles Hercules Reinald March 25, 1941 Sept 20, 2010 It is with our deepest sorrow we announce the passing of Ron with his wife by his side, Ron will be loved through eternity and our memories of him will be forever cherished by his wife Judy, children Michele (Brad), Michael and Anthony (Sheila) grandchildren Morgan, Aston (Crash) and Amy, truck driver buddy Carl, his favourite neice Lorna, one brother and four sisters. In the early years Ron worked up north but the call of the road was too strong. He began driving long distance that lasted for 48 years. Ron had an inquiring mind and many interests, he always had a story, joke or a good conversation to share. He loved working on trucks, painting pictures and loved to play his guitar. He was intriqued by gadgets and electronics and always wanted to know how they worked. When he retired at 65 his wife Judy got sick and he was her caregiver for three years. There will be no service by request. Cremation will be private. Ron made friends wherever he went, he treasured his friends and the time he spent with them. Ron will be sadly missed but never forgotten. Who could forget that smile and the twinkle in his eye, he touched the hearts of many. Many thanks go to Jeff Mayer, Dale and Sandy Cleveland, Gerda Clifford, Chrissie Jenson and my favourite cook Jean. Ron Many times I’ve needed you Many times I’ve cried If my love could have saved you Ron You never would have died It broke my heart to lose you But you didn’t go alone For you took a part of me with you The day God called you home Alway loved and forever remembered. Your loving wife Judy. Donations to the heart fund would be appreciated.
