Audible crosswalks sought in uptown White Rock

Blind senior lobbies for sound, safety Alex Browne Staff Reporter

A legally blind White Rock senior is hoping the city will install more audible crosswalk signals in the Hillcrest area of Johnston Road, near the White Rock Community Centre. And the city’s director of engineering and municipal operations, Rob Thompson, said he’s amenable to it – provided beeping or

Screen window gave ‘illusion of security,’ as boy suffers broken nose

Toddler OK after three-story plunge Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

A two-year-old South Surrey boy is expected to make a full recovery after falling through a third-storey screen window Monday evening. The boy – who was airlifted to BC Children’s Hospital from Rosemary Heights Elementary – sustained a broken nose after landing on a concrete area in front of a townhouse, located in the 15200-block of 34 Avenue. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger said the next morning that the boy was still being held for observation, but is expected to fully recover. “It’s absolutely amazing,” he said. “This is a

very unfortunate accident that could’ve been a lot more worse given the scope of the distance of the fall, and it truly is a miracle that this child has survived with as little injury as he has.” Grainger said the toddler had been playing with a sibling in a bedroom on the third storey of the family residence, when he got close to an open, screen window and fell through. Police attended just after 8 p.m. Aug. 8 to assist paramedics. Officers did a thorough investigation and concluded there is “no criminality behind this at all,” Grainger said, noting the screen was typical of what would be found in most homes.

“Parents need to be reminded that screen windows, it provides an illusion of security, but it’s not secure, especially with young children playing up against them,” he said. “They’re easily pushed out and can have catastrophic results.” RCMP remind parents to secure open windows with a device that will not allow children to fit through and to keep furniture that could be climbed on away from open windows. “And, if at all possible, just have your child – if he or she is going to be unattended – play in an area that is not elevated to minimize those types of risks.”

Dianne Watts says she’s counting her blessings after breaking her back while riding a horse in the B.C. Interior. It could have been a lot worse. She recalls saddling up with a group of friends and her daughters last month, when her horse, Joe, began to act up, biting her daughter’s horse and misbehaving. Then Joe took off in an odd gallop. Watts remembers coming down hard in the saddle and hearing a snap in her mid-back. The searing pain, along with the inability to sit up straight, told her she was in trouble. She leaned forward for comfort, which was a sign for the horse to pick up speed. Seeing she was in trouble, someone slowed the horse, and Watts rolled off, hitting the ground with her back. see page 6

news Peninsula organization expresses concern to donors

No door-to-door collection: food bank Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

The White Rock/South Surrey Food Bank is cautioning Peninsula residents about a door-to-door solicitor claiming to be the local food bank. The solicitor is not associated with the WRSS Food Bank, manager Ruth Chitty said, despite reports that the group claims otherwise. “Recently, people have been reporting that the food bank that is coming door-to-door says they are the local food bank and this is not so, unless there’s a food bank in our area that we don’t know about,” she said. “The food bank has a policy –

we do not solicit door-to-door.” The WRSS Food Bank has recently received “several” calls from people who have been solicited for money by the group, Chitty said. It’s been an issue in the past, when residents reported solicitations late at night and in seniors homes. “It’s frustrating and it’s doubly frustrating because it’s been going on for so many years. The other frustrating aspect of it is we hear from callers that the solicitors are quite aggressive.” Food banks registered with Food Banks Canada agree to respect each other’s service areas, Chitty noted.

“Food banks… entirely rely on our local community for sustainability and support, so it’s an issue for food banks when another group enters their community and solicits door to door.” If residents encounter such a solicitor, Chitty encourages them to ask what the group’s address is. If it isn’t that of the WRSS Food Bank – 5-15515 24 Ave. – then its not the local food bank, she said. And people who are interested in supporting the community food bank can still do so. “They may want to consider donating directly to the food bank if they want to make a donation, that way they’re playing it safe.”

Donations can be made by phone (604-531-8168), mail (5-15515 24 Ave., Surrey, B.C., V4A 2J4), in person or online (sourcesbc.ca). More information is also available by emailing foodbank@sourcesbc. ca

Other ways to help The White Rock/South Surrey Food Bank is requesting gardeners donate any excess produce from their vegetable gardens or fruit trees. “We value fresh, whole food as the ultimate food donation,” manager Ruth Chitty said. “It’s healthy food, it’s locally grown, more nutritious and it doesn’t have a huge

impact on the environment, with little travel from their garden to our doorway.” For those who are unable to collect or transport the food themselves, volunteer gleaners are available to gather garden produce and pick fruit from trees, Chitty noted. “Any fresh produce is very valuable. We are very aware of the link between food and health, and we are also very aware of the limited access people living on a low income have to (healthy food).” The food bank is also looking for additional volunteer gleaners. For more information, call 604531-8168 or email foodbank@ sourcesbc.ca

Amalgamation tweet

‘Naive at best’ to join White Rock Alex Browne Staff Reporter

White Rock Coun. Grant Meyer’s suggestion that South Surrey be absorbed into the smaller city has received a thumbs down from a Surrey councillor. Linda Hepner said the proposal, outlined in Peace Arch News Aug. 4 edition, is “naive at best.” “In all practical and logical senses it’s a non-starter,” she said Wednesday, after posting online about the issue Tuesday evening. “Really?” Hepner tweeted. “WR Cllr off base. South Surrey join White Rock? Residential tax 50% more, business 20%: Reverse more logical.” Wednesday, Hepner told PAN, “I certainly disagree that a small community of 18,000 residents would absorb the 80,000 in South Surrey. “I don’t see it ever happening. I could see the reverse.” Hepner, a South Surrey resident, said she acknowledges the current situation in which the Peninsula community is split along 16 Avenue is “an odd boundary.” “But that’s a 50-year-old decision, done by the people of that time,” she said. Equally odd, she finds, is that 2.2 million people in Metro Vancouver are represented by 23 different governments. “Does it really makes sense, that cost of government for 2.2 million people?” Were amalgamation of municipalities to occur, she would still see Surrey, with a population base of approximately half a million, as a leading player. If the city grows by the 200,000 residents, as expected in 20 years, it will surpass Vancouver in size, she said. She also cited Surrey’s “fierce commitment” to its vision – “the future lives here” – and its strategic economic and geographical position as a gateway to Pacific Rim trade as factors that would make it all the more attractive to join it.

MP Russ Hiebert introduces Tim Uppal, minister of state for democratic reform, to participants in a town-hall meeting in White Rock last week.

MP hosts town-hall meeting

Hiebert, Uppal pledges Senate reform Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Democratic reform of the Canadian system of government, and particularly the Senate, has been under debate – as Russ Hiebert himself points out – for more than 120 years. But the South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale Conservative MP and Tim Uppal, federal minister of state for democratic reform, spent only an hour chatting about it with close to 50 constituents – most of them seniors – at a town-hall meeting Friday at the White Rock Community Centre. Hiebert said following the meeting that he felt that was the right length of time for the audience. “I could see people’s eyes glazing over,” he said, noting the competition the afternoon meeting had from the long-awaited arrival of summer weather on the Peninsula. Uppal (Edmonton-Sherwood Park), whom Hiebert introduced as a family friend, had a simple message to deliver. “The fact that the prime minister has appointed a minister of state for democratic reform shows that it’s a significant priority for this government,” he said. Uppal said a significant gain for democracy in Canada has been the federal Acountability Act which has, he said “taken the big money out of elections” by limiting the amount corporations, unions and associations can contribute

to to campaigns. Most significant of all, Uppal said, is the Senate Reform Act introduced on June 21, which would establish election of senators and limit service to a nine-year, non-renewable term for all senators appointed after 2008. Senators can currently serve a term of up to 45 years, under rules that establish that they can be appointed at age 30 and can serve until they are 75 – which is already a reform of the original lifetime term, Uppal noted. “Lifetime terms don’t make sense in a 21st century democracy,” he said, adding that a nine-year cycle of terms would lead to regular renewal of the senate. Uppal also noted that polls have found twothirds of Canadians support election of senate nominees, which would be a means for ensuring more representation for the West. But he said the democratic process for putting forward senate nominees won’t happen until the provinces – and their political parties – create a legal framework for it. He cited Chilliwack MLA John Les’ private member’s bill proposing a Senate Nominee Election Act, introduced in early June, as an example of the provincial legislation that needs to take place. The town-hall meeting received mixed reviews from attendees, some of whom expressed disappointment that senate reforms didn’t go further – to which Uppal and Hiebert responded

that a start has to be made somewhere. Among those critical was Brian Marlatt, Progressive Canadian Party candidate in the previous three federal elections. Marlatt, who served as a policy advisor on a regional and national level for the Progressive Conservative party, said what the current Conservative government is proposing amounts to breaking campaign promises by “opening up the Canadian Constitution.” An elected senate driven by provincial interests, he said, would politicize what was always intended as a sober court of second opinion. “I wonder if this is not inverting the Canadian federal principle. The BNA Act created Canada federally as one dominion,” Marlatt said after the meeting. “The key principle here is that we’re members of one family – not the United States of Canada.” White Rock resident Roderick Louis also questioned the effectiveness of such town-hall meetings in addressing the issue, adding he favours the formation of a Royal Commission on Senate Reform. “This is a shotgun approach being taken by the federal government in terms of informing the public,” he said. “We had around 40 people here out of a 1.5 million population in the Lower Mainland. “Now Mr. Uppal will go back to Ottawa to report on public views of Senate reform – after talking to 40 people.”

City staffer wants to help senior from page 1 Standing alongside her at the intersection, with cars, trucks and buses flying by, it’s easy to understand her point, and how significant audible signals at that location would be to her safety. “I can see the fence, I can see trees, I can see movement,” she said of her patchy quality of vision. “But I can’t see your face.” With blank areas in her horizon, judgment calls become that much more difficult, Letnick said. “I used to drive, but I’m not driving any more. I stopped driving even before my licence expired. There was no use taking my life or anyone else’s life.” The Winnipeg-born Letnick’s children all live in her home province, she said. She and her husband lived in Maple Ridge for many years before he died some 10 years ago. That’s when she moved to her condo at Five Corners, she said, adding that she has enjoyed living in White Rock and being able to retain her independence. But since she was classified as legally blind two years ago, the

senior has really come to appreciate the audible signals that have already been installed on Johnston, she said. “There’s one at Thrift that works very well, and the one at 16 Avenue also works very well. But there should be (audible signals) at the crosswalks at Roper and Russell.” Letnick said a staff member at the community centre – who has full use of her eyesight – has told her it takes a long time to cross Johnston Road at Russell, because of the amount of traffic. “A lot of buses come here, the 351 and the little buses come here,” Letnick said. “I don’t see why seniors have to take their lives in their hands.” She claims she has not received too much sympathy from the city engineering department on the issue, citing the response she got when she approached workers installing ornamental pavers about two years ago at Five Corners. “They told me ‘we just spent $23,000 to make this area beautiful – don’t expect anything else around here to change’.”

But Thompson – who has been on staff for the last year and a half – said Letnick was clearly talking to the wrong people. “I’m very sympathetic and supportive of seniors who want to retain some level of independence,” he said. Thompson recommended that Letnick have someone write a letter on her behalf asking for audible signals at specific locations. “I don’t think the costs are that great for a signal operated by push-button electrical impulse,” he said. “I’ve had discussions with traffic consultants, and what they’ve said is that, in high-density areas, the problem is finding a signal that doesn’t drive people crazy, particularly at night time.” Thompson said there would probably be scope for a compromise – installing an audible signal that only worked during a specific window in the daytime, for instance. “I’d like to be able to help her – if I can get a letter, it would spark me to talk to people about what it would take,” he said.

She spent the next two days wondering if the damage would be permanent. After a CT scan and an MRI, Watts learned there was no nerve damage and surgery wouldn’t be necessary. It’s the mayor’s second serious accident in 15 months, the first being a car collision where she suffered serious internal injuries. In each case, she’s taken it as a lesson to slow down. She spent about an hour on Tuesday returning media calls, and says she’ll be more defensive of her rest time. It hasn’t always been that way for Watts. When she first took the mayor’s chair in 2005, many looked on with a mixture of awe and concern. She worked 24/7, and fit the rest of her life in where she could.

Renovations have begun on the South Surrey Park and Ride in order to add 61 new stalls. TransLink will be reconfiguring the existing parking layout by restriping the parking stalls, as well as removing and relocating many of the traffic islands. The work will increase capacity and improve the efficiency of the lot, according to the City of Surrey. “The current parking demand is impacting the operation and safety

of the facility because of the number of cars parking illegally by blocking aisles and emergency access routes,” a release states. “The reconfiguration is to increase the number of available stalls to 486 without expanding the existing footprint of the lot.” The South Surrey Park and Ride, constructed in 2006, is located at King George Boulevard and Highway 99, and includes a six-bay bus loop. The renovations are expected to be completed by Labour Day weekend.

‘Insufficient evidence’ against Surrey RCMP officer

COSMETIC AND FAMILY DENTISTRY

No charges in police car fatality involving teenager Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A Surrey RCMP officer will not be charged for striking and killing a young woman with his car earlier this year. On Jan. 31, a Surrey RCMP officer was heading southbound on King George Boulevard near 98 Avenue when he struck and killed an 18-year-old female pedestrian. The officer was not dispatched to a call and did not have lights

or siren on at the time. The Abbotsford Police Department was called in to investigate the incident. That city’s major crime unit and collision analysts examined the scene and all communication transmissions to and from the car that evening. “After thorough examination of all of the facts presented, Regional Crown Counsel determined that there was insufficient evidence to support a charge against the

driver,” Abbotsford Police said in a release last week. “It is impossible to be involved in incidents of this magnitude without acknowledging the impact to everyone involved, most importantly the friends and family of the young woman whose life ended far too soon. “ The Abbotsford Police Department again would like to offer our condolences to these individuals as they continue dealing with their loss.”

Inquiry called for in-custody death Kevin Diakiw Black Press

The B.C. Coroners Service will hold a pubic inquest into the death of a man while he was in police custody in Surrey last year. At about 11 p.m. on June 22, 2010, police received a call that two men were seen running in and out of traffic in the area of 160 Street and 88 Avenue. After Surrey RCMP officers arrested one of the men, Bikermanjit (Victor) Singh Kooner, they said he began to show signs of medical distress and was taken to hospital where he later died. For years prior, Kooner had been operating a facility for addicts that he called the Spiritual Freedom House Society.

The 39-year-old father of two had overcome his own addiction to cocaine and was helping others do the same. Vancouver Police were called in to conduct an independent investigation into his death. On Tuesday, the coroner’s office said it would also be looking into it. An inquest is scheduled from Feb. 20-24, 2012 and will be headed by coroner Marj Paonessa. A jury will hear from several subpoenaed witnesses to determine the facts leading to Kooner’s death. The jury will have the opportunity to make recommendations aimed at preventing similar deaths in the future.

editorial

We can only fiddle as the world burns here’s so much anger. We see it on the streets, in our media and at the polls. Cities across England are aflame this week after a police-shooting death in north London Saturday. Regardless of whether those who have taken part riot over a sense of injustice, the economy or opportunism, certainly others – as we in the Lower Mainland know too well – have rioted for far, far less. The riot reports have replaced on the world stage the recent terrorist attacks in Norway two weeks earlier that killed 77 and injured dozens more (which had, in turn, replaced outrage over the the international media scandal in which privacy has been invaded and laws broken). What next? In the United States, polarization of politics has resulted in a steady flow of vitriol spewing from all sides and a local economy that threatens the rest of us beyond their borders. Closer to home, voters seethe as we threaten repercussions over high taxes, lost rights and fickle representation, yet we never seem to gather the strength to organize a meaningful, peaceful revolt. Instead, we seethe. The problem is, too many of us are seething and, as is happening around the world, mass seething can lead to pockets of violence. It’s as if the world is suffering from road-rage, and we don’t know who’s going around the bend next. Time to say enough. What the world needs now is leadership – calm, authoritative leadership. We need a call for peace – accompanied by a call for justice that isn’t entrenched with a call to arms. We need civil discourse rather than civil disobedience. And we need it fast. Until then, it’s important that we, as individuals, take matters in our own hands to ensure we never reach that boiling point. Perhaps it’s just a matter of limiting our news intake and turning off the testosterone-fuelled shows and sports that pass for entertainment these days. And, perhaps, it’s finding your solace, whether walking on the beach, enjoying a good book or practising a musical instrument in the quiet of your own home – at peace, while the world around you burns.

Should Surrey purchase 200-600 environmentally sensitive acres to serve as parkland?

yes 86% no 14% 108 responding Michael Cloutier, president of the association, says the economic burden of diabetes in B.C. is “staggering and threatens the sustainability of our health care system and the provincial economy.” And yet, the government continues to turn its back on this disease, waiting until those with it are knocking on death’s door with gangrene, or vision impairment, or kidney failure, or nerve damage, or high blood pressure, or heart attack or stroke – all complications of diabetes. It’s as though the government figures we’ve already got the disease, we’re already doomed, so why bother? Or, maybe it’s because diabetes, sometimes viewed as the invisible disease, isn’t quite as sexy as smoking and cancer. This quit-smoking program came just one month after the B.C. government decided to strip people with disease or chronic illness from getting any reward points, such as Air Miles, on medical supplies covered by Pharmacare, reasoning that it was not fair that we – the diseased – should rack up points on items the government is paying for, while the healthy unfortunates could not. Alright then, if the government wants to play the fairness card, why not across the board? Why aren’t they paying for my prescriptions? Why aren’t they paying for my insulin pump? Why aren’t they paying for my continuous glucose monitoring system, which is not covered by third-party medical, and which could significantly improve my health? How is this fair?

Easy to say we’re Surrey Editor: Re: South Surrey urged to join White Rock, Aug. 4. White Rock Coun. Grant Meyer’s suggestion shows how dysfunctional the White Rock city council is. He acknowledges “conventional wisdom (is) that it would make more sense to amalgamate White Rock back into Surrey. Well, councillor, it is more than conventional wisdom; it makes common sense. South Surrey residents have nothing to gain by joining up with White Rock whilst, turned around, White Rock residents have everything to gain by joining Surrey. Anyone thinking that White Rock can financially survive as a city should give their head a shake. Bill Phelps, Surrey Q I am a Peninsula resident who is somewhat unhappy with the rampant growth of construction, population and traffic in the area. I would also mention that our increased traffic is partly caused by the moving of people into the White Rock highrise developments. However, Coun. Grant Meyer’s idea of amalgamating with White Rock to express our displeasure about that – as well as the increased distance the new Surrey City Hall will be from us – has to be the most unrealistic idea from a politician. How often does the average resident have a reason to visit city hall in a given year? Perhaps once, if that. Become part of White Rock and pay one of the highest property taxes in B.C. for the cachet of “White Rock” in our address? What about the little detail of White Rock having its own water and sewer service? How would that work outside its current borders? Come on, councillor, it would make more sense to promote the idea of White Rock amalgamating into Surrey; you could keep the name, just as Crescent Beach and Ocean Park had. George Zador, Surrey Q When this issue was being kicked about back in the early ’90s, I was definitely on board with the idea. The borders did not make sense to me, and I really did feel like I was more part of White Rock than South Surrey. But times have changed since then, and I don’t like what I’ve seen in the recent past. I believe that a larger tax base for White Rock would create even more havoc for the White Rock council members. It seems that they are having trouble controlling what they have to deal with now in their small area, let alone having all of South Surrey to contend with. I don’t see a more serene, peaceful South Surrey if that should happen but a jumble of undecided, incomplete structures. They can’t keep the existing businesses happy, so how do they expect to comply with the even more serious needs, should the territory expand?

I believe White Rock needs Surrey’s help, not the other way around. We can turn White Rock City Hall into South Surrey City Hall to accommodate the residents and businesses. I like the way South Surrey has grown and revitalized, thanks to our mayor. I love living in this area and don’t feel like I’m in White Rock anymore when I’m uptown nowadays, till I head down to Marine Drive. The border along 16 Avenue/North Bluff is really just a road now. Uptown White Rock and South Surrey feels like one and the same, no difference at all, so it will never feel like small town anymore.

Dignity, respect go both ways Editor: Re: Kwantlen professor calls Pride Parade ‘vulgar,’ Aug. 4. Isn’t it interesting that many who shout “tolerate” are anything but tolerant when someone has a difference of opinion, and many who shout “liberate” are the first who

would shut down a person’s right to freedom of expression when they disagree with that person’s words? It seems today that anyone who expresses any opinion that could be construed as somewhat conservative or traditional becomes the target of bullying from those who would describe themselves as liberal or progressive. At one time, name calling was found mainly on the playground. Today, it seems to be a far bigger problem with the supposed adults in our country who throw names around so that they can feel superior – left-wing, rightwing, homophobic, Islamaphobic, absolutist, to name a few. Professor Shinder Purewal describes a parade where people are prancing around in their underwear, as “vulgar.” What’s wrong with that? There are huge numbers of us in this country who wouldn’t attend such an event for exactly the same reason. I am getting more than a little tired of the name-calling and bullying behaviour. When did we lose the ability to discuss differences of opinion in a civil manner? When did our tolerant society become so vehemently intolerant? When will we learn that treating people with dignity and respect should go both ways? Linda Mehus-Barber, Surrey

Contempt for quote choice Editor: Re: Charter rights ‘flaunted’ by investigation, Aug. 4. I found this headline both funny and sad. At first, I thought it was PAN’s error, but then I realized that it was a direct quote from Provincial Court Judge Paul R. Meyers – in ‘written opinion’ yet! I would have expected a judge to know the difference between “flaunt” (to make a brazen or gaudy display) and “flout” (to display scorn or contempt). Note to judges: Keep your dictionaries handy. Spell-check can’t tell the difference between words of entirely different meanings, as long as they are spelled correctly. Pat Tietzen, White Rock Q Did Judge Paul Meyers really write that Cpl. Michaud “flaunted” the accuseds’ Charter of Rights? One has a picture of RCMP Cpl. Danny Michaud draping the Charter around his neck like a boa… I am sure he said, or at least meant, “flouted.” If he wrote “flaunted,” your quotation should have followed it with [sic].

Steve Robinson’s willingness to share his story of sleeping in the streets and suggesting solutions wins praise.

He’s a credit to our community Editor: Re: Out, but not down, July 21. Your piece on Steve Robinson and the homeless in South Surrey/White Rock was excellent. Hopefully an eye-opener for some, although I see from the responses to your subsequent online Question of the Week that the NIMBY are alive and well. (Editor’s note: Asked whether there should be parks where the homeless can access basic necessities, 53 per cent responded ‘no.’) I met the fellow you interviewed when I needed help removing and rebuilding a fence at my home last month and a friend brought him by. On that day – and numerous days after – he worked non-stop and with incredible ability around my home. It didn’t matter what I asked him; Steve could do it, and well. I was sanding my massive deck while Steve was helping build the fence. He came over and told me I was doing it wrong and he showed me how to better utilize the belt sander and he was right – it made the

job much simpler. I hired him to do every odd job I could find around my property for the following few days and will do it again. He is a hard-working, honest, talented man who is down on his luck like so many others right here in our backyard. This could just as easily be you or me. To his credit, and that of his friends, they are not whining or complaining, they are asking for facilities to wash. I don’t think we need the expense of parks for that purpose. How about for the last hour before the community centres close at night, homeless be allowed to come in and get cleaned up? Let’s pay it forward. We can help right here, in our own backyard. And by the way, that shed you need built or yard work you need done can be taken care of in no time. Just visit Steve uptown; you can’t miss him. Susan Beechinor-Carter, Surrey

news Kwantlen lawsuit on hold

VERMONT CASTINGS

Student allegations abound counsel taking care of the 2008 lawsuit, shortly after taking office, but claims it was because he is a close friend of longtime former KSA general manager Desmond Rodenbour, who was terminated early this year. Although the lawyer has changed, the legal position regarding the 2008 lawsuit has not, said the student group. The KSA said the conflict allegations against it are simply an attempt by the former executives to cover up prior mismanagement. Among other things, the association alleges Rodenbour and former chairperson Laura Anderson also had an intimate relationship that renders their decisions and spending of about $6 million in student fees questionable. The KSA has now hired Deloitte & Touche to conduct a forensic review of the society from 2001 to 2011 to highlight what the current student group calls past “fraud, embezzlement and mismanagement.” Justine Franson was elected the KSA’s director of operations in

Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A lawsuit against previous members of the Kwantlen Student Association (KSA) alleging largescale theft and fraud involving more than $1 million has been put on hold by the newly elected student executive – one member of which is the sister of a defendant named in the civil suit. Justine Franson, director of operations on the KSA executive board, is the sister of Aaron Takhar, one of five men named in a 2008 B.C. Supreme Court claim. The KSA’s director of finance, Nina Kaur, is also a first cousin of Takhar’s. In a press release sent out late Friday, the KSA said the innuendo and speculation about Franson’s relationship to Takhar have no merit and that the former student administration is trying to divert attention from “truly horrific preliminary findings” of prior management. The association said it did fire lawyer David Borins, the legal

Aaron Takhar, her brother, was leader of the Reduce All Fees (RAF) party, which took power of the KSA in a controversial 2005 vote and then subsequently ousted in a court-ordered election. He and four others were sued by KSA executive in 2008. The lawsuit stemmed from findings of audits in 2007 concluding there were thousands of dollars in mysterious loans, questionable investments and undocumented payments made to KSA executives and staff between December 2005 and November 2006. The suit claims during their time at the KSA’s helm, the defendants orchestrated $820,000 in unsecured loans, attempted to use $1 million in the KSA’s health and dental plan to profit personally, paid $20,050 for a party that didn’t happen and paid more than $140,000 in unsupported payments to RAF affiliate executives and employees. None of the allegations have been proven in court.

perspectives …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Duane Duff’s new book details proud Canadians who served their country

War stories told through veteran’s eyes Boaz Joseph

Black Press

uane Duff learned a little about John Hoosha through the grapevine when Duff was in college in Winnipeg, studying to become a teacher in the early 1950s. At the time, Hoosha was the campus dessert guy, known for, among other confectionaries, his mouth-watering rice pudding. The odd thing was that Hoosha never sampled his own product – never eating a grain of rice from the end of the Second World War until his death in 1968. Duff learned the details of Hoosha’s story while conducting research for the South Surrey man’s latest book, The Forces and the Faces: Round-the-World Tour with Canadians. First published in July, it’s a collection of stories of more than 60 Canadians, both men and women, in the military services from 1939 to the present day, told firsthand from the veterans themselves or from their families and friends. The stories cover training, war, peacekeeping and rescue missions from places as varied as Normandy, Somalia and New Orleans. In Hoosha’s case, it’s the story of starvation and torture at the hands of the Japanese after the fall of Hong Kong on Christmas Day, 1941. For four years, Hoosha lived on little more than small amounts of rice – food he found contemptible later in life. Hoosha never shared his experiences with anyone in his family except for his daughter Faye, who was born shortly after he departed with 2,200 other Canadian soldiers for duty at the former British colony. After he was liberated in 1945, Hoosha told his daughter that the thought of seeing her for the first time was the only thing that kept him alive during his captivity. This is not Duff ’s first book on the Canadian military. Two years ago, he self-published Waskesiu: Canada’s First Frigate, after interviewing some of the anti-submarine ship’s crew members. A second edition with more interviews was published last year. Since his retirement, Duff, 81, has published several books about people’s personal stories, as well as autobiographical books about his growth as a student and teacher. The latest publication, which he expects will be his last, was two years in the making – though he had some of the veterans’ stories on his mind for decades.

Boaz Joseph photo

Duane Duff’s new book, The Forces and the Faces, details soldiers’ personal stories. Many of the stories are from the Second World War – with collective memory fast fading as most of the surviving veterans are now in their 80s and 90s.

Among the stories are those of David Ewart of the Calgary Tank Regiment, First Armoured Brigade, who spent about 80 per cent of his time in Italy inside a Sherman

tank; tail-gunner Renne Anderson, who got separated from his crew after bailing from his bomber and became a POW for a year-and-ahalf (the rest of his crew escaped on foot and reached Switzerland); and Percy Smith, who was a crewman on Empire Viscount, one of only 10 ships to go unsunk in a 30-ship supply convoy to Murmansk, Russia. Duff interviewed Canadians involved in a number of post-war operations, including Gina Connor, a lawyer who provided legal counsel to the commanding officer of the Provincial Reconstruction Team in Kandahar City, Afghanistan; peacekeeper Bill Roushorn, who taught other soldiers (and civilians) the art of downhill skiing in Cyprus; and Rob Purvis, who volunteered to fight with U.S. forces in Vietnam. For the most part, they’re stories of quiet pride from people who served their country. Irony was part of some experiences. Wes Bowen told Duff the story of how he was rescued from drowning by JapaneseCanadian fishermen on the West Coast during an operation to confiscate their fishing boats. Brian Stouffer, on board a Canadian destroyer in the Pacific, experienced a broadside collision that killed a grey whale. Duff ’s interest stems from his family’s background as he was growing up – three members of his family served overseas, and only two came home. (Duff had just finished Grade 10 as the war ended). In 1942, Duane Duff ’s family received a telegram stating that his brother Stuart, a crew member on a bomber, was missing in action in Europe. A week letter, a second telegram arrived informing the family that Stuart was in fact a prisoner of war. More than a year later, he heard his father read aloud from the Toronto Star Weekly how 99 nurses had to abandon a ship that had been bombed in the Mediterranean. They later learned that one of them was Duane’s sister, Veldorah. Less than a year later, Duane’s mother received a telephone call that her brother, Duane’s uncle, Oakley Davis, had been wounded in Italy. A week later, a second phone call told them that the artilleryman had died – on the birthday of one of his young daughters. The Forces and the Faces is available through Amazon at www.duffpublishing.ca, and is expected to be available at Surrey Public Libraries.

lifestyles South Surrey church group to attend World Youth Day

Local pilgrims off to Spain Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

Eleven Star of the Sea parishioners are currently making a pilgrimage to Madrid, Spain, where they are to join more than 1 million people for World Youth Day celebrations Aug. 16-21. The pilgrims, who are between the ages of 18 and 29, have spent the past year preparing for the Catholic Church event, which is held in a different location every three years. The Pope chooses the theme for each gathering, and calls together youth from around the world to celebrate and learn about their faith. For the local pilgrims, such an opportunity is an invaluable growth experience, according to co-ordinator Stacey RhodesNesset. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the motivation for the young people to attend and participate in a pilgrimage like World Youth Day is to meet other Catholics and young people from all over the world, and have a stronger connection to their Catholic faith,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about young people committing themselves to Christ and the service of others. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just for Catholics; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open to all young people who want to experience something centred on Christ.â&#x20AC;?

After taking a year off, the Winfall Lottery has returned with thousands of prizes to be won – including a $1.89-million South Surrey home – all in benefit of Peace Arch Hospital. “We’re back with a tried, tested and I believe a true strategy,” Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation board member and WinFall chair Graham Cameron said at the lottery’s VIP grand opening last week. Guests at the Aug. 5 event toured the 4,827-square-foot grand prize home, which is located at 2877 146 St. and includes a kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and custom antique maple cabinets; a master bedroom with an ensuite that has a soaker tub and two vanities; a backyard that features a covered and heated stone patio, hot tub and landscaped garden; as well as a media room, fitness room, games room and bar. MC and TV meteorologist Mark Madryga – who has become the face of the lottery – explained how the fundraiser supports the hospital and “the miracles that happen each and every day” there. WinFall has been in the market for 15 years, and has raised $25 million for the hospital, Cam-

enviro notes

The Build Canada Fund ends in 2014 and, since there’s little possibility that all of the needed repairs will have been completed by then, the choice is additional funding or further deterioration. Quite specifically, one reason Surrey would like to obtain 20 per cent of its water requirement from aquifers which lie deep beneath us is that the pipes that bring our water from the North Shore mountains and pass under the Fraser River are no longer fully reliable, and are very much at risk in the event of an earthquake. This dilemma is compounded by the paucity of really good data on the age or volume of water stored in the aquifers under the Lower Mainland or the recharge rates – essential information for comprehensive and cautious planning. How much water can be drawn without depleting the capital? How will all the adjacent expanding municipalities correlate their demands? These are local and national issues. Beyond them is the question: is water a right, or a tradable commodity – a commercial ‘good’ to be sold for profit? There’s also the question of meeting demands for water from a thirsty United States, and the difficulties of ensuring an adequate supply of potable water in impoverished Third World countries. Dare we ignore these issues? Dr. Roy Strang writes monthly on the environment for the Peace Arch News. rmstrang@shaw.ca

Summer Clearance Sale

Exhibit to invade White Rock Aliens Among Us, a travelling Royal BC Museum exhibition on the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s invasive species, will be coming to the Peninsula this weekend. The exhibition will run from Aug. 13 to early November at White Rock Museum and Archives, 14970 Marine Dr., and invites visitors to interact with some of B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bestknown and least-loved invasive species. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are over 4,000 alien species in the province and that number grows each year,â&#x20AC;? Gavin Hanke, curator of vertebrate zoology at the Royal BC Museum, said in a release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of these aliens are invasive â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they spread quickly, threaten native wildlife and are hard to control.â&#x20AC;? American bullfrogs, scotch broom, smallmouth bass and purple loosestrife are just a few of the species featured in Aliens Among Us. The exhibition tells stories of how invasive

species arrived in the province, what individuals can do to protect their communities and how these aliens fit in â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit in â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with their environments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Invasive species have become a part of our everyday world, and it is surprising to realize which commonly accepted plants and animals are in fact a threat to our local ecosystem,â&#x20AC;? White Rock Museum and Archives executive director Sharon Oldaker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This fascinating exhibit will help inform and educate the community and is an excellent venue for all ages to enjoy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are thrilled to welcome the Royal BC Museum to our newly renovated facility. It is the perfect opening exhibit to feature in our new museum gallery.â&#x20AC;? Aliens Among Us is travelling through B.C. between 2011 and 2013.

Accomplice by Rupert Holmes After a particularly memorable 66th season full of thrills, romance and plenty of laughs, the White Rock Players’ Club is hard at work preparing for another year of top-notch entertainment on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. First up for the new season is Rupert Holmes’ ‘nasty thriller’ Accomplice, directed by well-known local director David Lloyd Austin, and set to take the stage at Coast Dave Baron White Rock Players’ Club President Capital Playhouse Oct. 12-29. The holiday season just wouldn’t be the same without the White Rock Players’ Club’s Christmas pantomime – this year, the club will be featuring an updated version of one of their traditional pantomimes, Mother Goose, directed by club president Dave Baron and set to run Nov. 30 - Dec. 26. In the new year, the playhouse will be roaring with gut-busting laughter, as White Rock Players’ Club presents the Norm Foster comedy Drinking Alone, about a nuclear family on the verge of meltdown. The Feb. 8-25 comedy will be directed by another noted local director, Susanne de Pencier. When spring rolls around, White Rock Players’ Club will take a slightly more serious turn with the classic drama The Lion in Winter, by James Goldman. Telling the story of the King of England trying to decide which of his three sons will inherit the kingdom, this play is set to run April 11-28, and will have award-winning director Dale Kelly at the helm. Rounding out the season will be one of Ken Ludwig’s popular farces, Lend Me a Tenor (June 13-30) following backstage chaos at an opera company in the 1930s, directed by Ryan Mooney. For more information about the upcoming season, or to reserve tickets, visit www.whiterockplayers.ca or call 604-536-7535.

Whether you’re a gardening aficionado, designer, new to the world of plants and flowers or are simply looking for a memorable gift, Potters Nursery is a local shopping gem that has been “wowing” its customers every which way since 1991. Spring, summer, winter and fall, there is always something new and exciting to see at any one of Scott Pasternak Potters’ four Surrey locations. Well-known for its fullservice garden centres and knowledgeable staff, shoppers have been coming from all over the Lower Mainland and beyond to check out Potters’ huge selection of annuals, perennials, trees, shrubs, bulbs, fertilizers, top soil, rocks, mulches, tools, statuary and the largest selection of pottery in B.C. “We’re a ‘one-stop-shop’ for all your gardening needs,” says Scott Pasternak, manager of the 152nd Street location. “But I think what really sets us apart is our knowledge. We really enjoy answering people’s questions and being a great information resource.” Keeping on top of the latest trends, colours and styles of the season is a number one priority for Potters. “It’s really important to keep things fresh and to source out the latest styles and designs,” said Scott. “Colour always plays a key role and changes every season.” Need some fall planters that will absolutely dazzle? Scott invites customers to bring in their existing pots and have one of their pros design and plant a custom planter perfectly matched to suit their styles, tastes and outdoor decor. “Our consultants are also available to help people design the perfect flower beds. Just bring in a photo and we’ll give you plenty of tips and direction to make the most of your space and budget.” While this gardener’s paradise is a favourite among green thumbs, you don’t have to be a plant lover to appreciate Potters’ huge variety of gift items and seasonal offerings. From mid-October to Christmas Eve, Potters converts its 28,000 square-foot greenhouse on 48th Avenue into the largest Christmas store in Western Canada. And for those who love a good scare, you definitely won’t want to miss its annual Halloween “House of Horrors,” which takes place at the 72nd Street location between mid-October and October 31. “Running a successful business is about helping people and providing a unique, positive experience. It’s what makes people want to come back.” For more info, visit www.pottersonline.ca.

Anna Kristina It’s been two years since Anna Kristina opened her unique, trend-setting women’s boutique at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, and she has quickly become a fashion staple for shoppers on the Peninsula and beyond wanting to look their very best. With more than three decades in the fashion industry, Anna and her knowledgeable staff are dedicated to dressing women literally from head to toe. Whatever the occasion, with well-known Anna Kristina Canadian and European designer labels that range in sizes from two to 20, there is always a diverse, unique selection to choose from in store. With September just around the corner, Anna is looking forward to another great season of the hottest fall fashions, which this year is all about celebrating looks of the past. “This year we will be going back into a ‘70s Chanel look – a bit more tailored and clean cut,” Anna predicts, noting that the funky, relaxed styles we’ve been seeing will also still be popular. “Everything is going to be faux fur trimmed and leather trimmed, jackets will be single or double breasted, and oversized wraps and scarves (in cashmere, wool, or a blend) are going to be big again this year.” Expect to see plenty of fur-trimmed dresses, jackets and coats and fashionable prints especially snake print, which will dominate the styles this fall. As is the case the past few years, boots will again be a must-have in the fall wardrobe – either short or tall, according to Anna, who says the store has a large, amazing selection of fall and winter designer footwear coming in soon. Bold accessories, such as fur purses, cuffs and scarves will be popular this year as well, and Anna Kristina Boutique also carries a number of unique and stylish gifts and home decor items. The colours on the shelves will be all about the warm shades of fall – rich green, tan and orange, with plenty of creams and, of course, the ever-popular black. To complete the perfect fall look, Anna is also working on a brand new original jewelry line, which will incorporate all the warm colours and retro styles we’ll be seeing over the next few months. “I’ve just picked up some gorgeous new stones from an international show – it’s going to be very exciting,” Anna says of her unique, hand-crafted pieces. “Ladies, get ready – gold is making its comeback!” With the new season fast approaching, it’s the perfect opportunity for a wardrobe makeover – and what better place to help you look and feel your best than Anna Kristina Boutique in Semiahmoo Shopping Centre. Sophisticated, funky fashion and friendly, knowledgeable service – don’t miss out on this White Rock / South Surrey fashion destination.

Eleganté Shoes Celebrating their 26th anniversary of business in the Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, Elegante continues to be a favourite hotspot for fashionable, high quality footwear and accessories. As the oldest footwear store on the Peninsula, Elegante offers an international selection of the ultimate in shoe shopping for both men and women of all ages. Scott Robb And with decades of experience in the footwear industry, you can be sure that the staff is not only extremely knowledgeable, but committed to much more than just making sales. This commitment to the customer is an important cornerstone of running a business, according to manager Scott Robb. “When you come into a store that’s run by the people who own it, there’s a vested interest,” says Scott who has decades of experience in the footwear industry. Elegante’s sales team go the extra mile to make sure customers always leave satisfied with their purchase. “You can walk into any shoe store and buy a pair of shoes, but we want our customers to have a different experience,” says Scott. “We make sure you are fitted properly.” With September just around the corner, you’ll want to head over to Elegante and check out some of the latest fashion footwear trends for the fall. According to Scott, once again this season will be all about boots, and this year we can expect to see a slight shift to a slightly more rugged, masculine look – think a motorcycle or construction-type boot, with a stylish, feminine flare. Greys and purples will be popular colours to look for, and we can expect to see plenty of boots worn with skinny jeans – not the thigh-highs we typically saw last year, but lower, slouchy boots this time around. While Elegante always keeps it’s thumb on the pulse of fashion, the store is also best known for carrying timeless, high quality footwear. “We don’t always go for what’s super trendy at the moment because we aren’t really interested in what’s going on today and gone tomorrow,” says Scott. “We are about classical styles and always have been.” For a wide selection of high-quality footwear and the best customer service around, visit Elegante Shoes and see why they’ve been voted #1 for footwear on the Peninsula several times.

WHY PAY MORE TO PRINT?

Cartridge World When your printer ink is running low, do you high-tail it to the nearest big box office supply store and then cringe every time you pay the bill? If so, you should check out your local Cartridge World, at #12-3189 King George Boulevard. For about half of what it costs to buy new, Cartridge World – the world’s fastest growing ink refilling retailer – can refill or remanufacture 95 per cent of inkjet and laser toner cartridges, using topMike Kitchen quality, brand-specific ink and toners. Operating more than 1,700 locations in 60 countries, Cartridge World keeps money IN your pocket and hundreds of millions of empty printer cartridges OUT of landfills every year. This proactive solution to waste reduction is a win-win for customers, entrepreneurs and the environment. Frequently Asked Questions: Q: Is there a risk to using a refilled cartridge? Not at all! There should be no difference in the print quality after the cartridge is refilled. Our 100% money back satisfaction guarantee is a sign of our confidence and removes any risk from you trying our services. Q: How much money will I save by refilling? Your savings may vary depending on your printer. As a rule of thumb, you can expect to save up to 50 per cent on refills at Cartridge World, compared to the cost of a brand new cartridge. In fact, Peninsula businesses and residents are saving hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars every year by making the switch. In addition to savings, Cartridge World also offers their customers the ability to make a choice regarding waste reduction and the environment. Q: Will using refilled cartridges void the printer manufacturer’s warranty? No. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prohibits the printer manufacturer from voiding the warranty. Printer manufacturers will almost always advise you against refilling because they want you to keep buying their expensive replacement cartridges and accessories. You can feel confident that cartridges sold, refilled or remanufactured by Cartridge World will meet or exceed your expectations. Our own warranty also extends to your printer on any valid claim! Q: Is cartridge refilling and remanufacturing the only service Cartridge World provides? No. Cartridge World is a one-stop shop! In addition to a printer/fax/copier repair service, we stock a full selection of new and compatible ink and laser cartridges, copier toners, fax and postage meter supplies, specialty paper and labels.

Come Celebrate with us… Our 19th

Deals World If there’s one thing that Peninsula shoppers love, it’s finding a great deal. For the best prices on unique, topquality merchandise, nothing beats Deals World in White Rock for all your shopping needs. This year, the one-stop-shop that has become a staple on the Semiahmoo Peninsula for those looking for a bargain is celebrating an exciting milestone – 19 years of the best in housewares, home decor, health and beauty Michelle Young supplies, tools, stationary and so much more. “There have been so many milestones, it would be hard to pick just one,” says owner John Rotonen, of some of the memorable experiences since opening in 1992. “Of course, we’d really like to thank all of our loyal customers, and our wonderful staff.” Though over the years the store has grown in size and popularity, one thing customers have come to expect when shopping at Deals World – located at 1350 Johnston Rd. – is a constant stream of new inventory. As the only liquidation-type store on the Peninsula, shoppers can often find things at Deals World that you can’t find anywhere else. Shipments of merchandise come from all over the Lower Mainland, Eastern Canada and the U.S. While staff has no plans to change the exciting, diverse and quality selection of merchandise that customers have grown to love, John says there are some exciting expansions on the way for Deals World, as the store looks forward to another 19 years of providing great merchandise to its loyal customers. Look for a bigger party supply department in the near future, to include everything you’d need to host parties of all sorts – another reason to make Deals World your oneand-only stop for life’s big occasions. While Deals World is well-known in the community as a place to find an outstanding selection of great bargains under one roof, there’s more to the store’s 19 years of success than low prices and quality merchandise. As a local, family-run business, Deals World strives to maintain a friendly, smalltown atmosphere – with friendly staff and management, who go out of their way to help customers find what they’re looking for. Despite the arrival of big-name, national retailers in the area, Deals World is a place that maintains a warm, community-feel that comes with years of dedication to providing customers with the best in service and products. Another exciting addition for Deals World is their brand new Facebook page, which, along with the store’s website at www.dealsworld.com, is updated frequently with new deals and shopping opportunities. Stop by Deals World at 1350 Johnston Rd. today and help celebrate 19 years of quality merchandise, unbeatable prices and friendly, familiar faces.

Rochells Jewellers When it comes to finding the world’s most popular brand name jewellery, fine Swiss watches, certified Canadian diamonds and one-of-a-kind showpieces, did you know you need only head over to Rochells Jewellers in the Peninsula’s very own Semiahmoo Shopping Centre. Established in 2004, Rochells Jewellers—tucked Amin Dhanani inside the newly renovated galleria—not only carries the largest variety of jewellery on the Peninsula, it is also the area’s only authorized Swarovski dealer! In fact, owner Amin Dhanani says people are often surprised to know they can find “anything and everything” at his growing store, which is home to wellknown, competitively priced collections from Pandora, Swarovski and more. For those thinking of popping the question, Rochells Jewellers also carries the largest selection of diamond engagement rings all set with fully certified Canadian diamonds, sure to dazzle your sweetheart. Offering “something for everyone,” including a variety of certified diamond pieces as well as watches from Gucci, Tissot, Movado and Wittnauer, Amin says he is proud to offer brands that are generally not found outside of the “big cities.” “It is important to us to continually strive to expand our collections with the latest lines, new products and one-of-kind pieces from all over the world. And if our customers don’t find exactly what they are looking for in our large selection, we can custom design jewellery to suit their individual needs and tastes.” Committed to superior customer service, Rochells also offers excellent watch and jewellery repair and, each month, hosts a unique, in-store, while-you-wait appraisal service. “We love the feedback we get from our customers,” said Amin. “There is a lot of warmth in this community. It is not unusual for our customers to stop in just to say hello or to tell us how much their loved one is enjoying their new piece of jewellery. It is very rewarding.” In addition to supporting local charitable organizations such as Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation, Rochells is also a sponsor for the Nite of Hope, an annual, local event that raises funds in support of breast cancer research. For those who have not yet visited Rochells in Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, Amin welcomes you to stop by and “check us out.” You just might be surprised at what you’ll find!

Summer is here! Come check out our selection of Beers, Ciders and Coolers

The Brewing Experience has been changing the perception of typical on premise establishments by offering a huge selection of top-quality beers, wines, ciders and coolers for more than 17 years. With more than 70 varieties of beer from around the globe, including Canadian, American, Australian, Andy, Gary, John British, Mexican, Irish, Asian, Dutch and German, you’re sure to find a brew you’ll love no matter what your taste. It’s more than just a place to make your favorite beer or wine, according John, owner of The Brewing Experience. “You can make your own cider, coolers, port, sherry, sparking or ice wine – pretty much the whole gambit,” John says. John and his staff use state-of-the-art equipment, premium, quality ingredients and award-winning recipes – the result is always a great product. The friendly and knowledgeable staff at The Brewing Experience will take the time to help you find exactly what you’re looking for. Choosing from the dozens of award-winning beers and red and white wines is probably the most difficult part of the process – the rest is a breeze. You add the yeast to the rest of the ingredients, and the rest is left up to us. Like any creative process, John says it’s important to be patient to get the best results. “We can ferment in as little as four weeks, but the real taste is developed by how long you leave it,” says John. “The more full-bodied the wines, particularly the reds, the longer we suggest people leave them in the bottle before they enjoy them.” On your scheduled bottle date you return to the store where everything is ready for when you arrive.The bottling process usually takes about half an hour, and the staff is there to help you along the way. For weddings, anniversaries or other special occasions, The Brewing Experience can help you find the perfect wine and provide custom labels for the big event. If you’ve never ventured into the world of making your own beer & wine, The Brewing Experience offers free bottles to new customers for their first shot at their new hobby. Give the staff a call at 604-535-7200, and they’ll be more than happy to answer any questions. You can also visit brewingexperience.ca, or better yet, stop by at #153033 King George Blvd. and let us assist you in person.

Peninsula artist among local group resurrecting old vessels

Restorations a long hull for boat lovers Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

t was a sight out of the past at Ward’s Marina last month – one that would gladden the heart of any enthusiast of early 20th century marine design. The Mud Bay Yacht Club’s workshop – close to South Surrey’s Historic Stewart Farmhouse – was host to two historic projects of its own, at the same time. Artist Robert Genn’s 1921 motorboat Miss Reveller was out of the water and up on scaffolding for a routine overhaul, side by side with the Banke family’s 1940s sailing yacht, Elusive, currently undergoing an extensive refit to restore it to the former racing glory it enjoyed with the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club. Credit the fact that the boats of long ago were much narrower in the beam than their nowaday counterparts, Genn said, for the double treat. “If they were modern boats, you would only be able to get one in at a time,” he said, during an inspection tour before the Miss Reveller was relaunched at the marina on July 26. With its long, lean lines, varnished mahogany and brass ‘bright work’ – including a well-worn wheel, antique horns, light and instrument housings, flat, wood-enclosed windscreen, and restrained flagpole, the 30-foot long Miss Reveller, originally described as a ‘launch,’ seems for all the world like the sea-going counterpart Alex Browne photos of an elegant early limousine or touring Members of the Mud Bay Yacht Club (left to right) Robert Genn, Al Stevenson, Andreas automobile.

He, himself, used to work on the famed Bluenose II, and also has a lot of tall ship sailing experience with a commercial cruise company operating in the Carribbean. In a brief break from working on caulking between yellow cedar planks he described the way the Elusive “talked” him into buying it a year ago. “It was in Horseshoe Bay, semi derelict and almost underwater,” he said. “I fell in love with it. I honestly tried not to buy it, but I kept seeing it on Craigslist…” Now, he admits ruefully, he’s up to his elbows in a 25-year refit (“It’s probably about 25 years since anyone went the whole hog,” he said). The project includes steaming new whiteContributed photo oak ribs into place, building new floors,

repainting and refinishing the mahogany interior and brightwork, plus repairing the mast and overhauling the engine. “I thought it would be fun to do varnishing for the rest of my life,” he said wryly of the labour of love. But it’s clear he also takes a lot of pride in the streamlined Elusive, a “classic old sloop” designed by Bill Rhodes and built in the Haliday Yard in Steveston in 1948. “When the war ended, all the gentlemen of the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club who had donated their lead keels to the war effort went out and got themselves all new boats built,” he said, adding that Elusive was among a new generation of yachts that were raced on English Bay over the next decade. A total of three of the original six hauls built for RVYC members in the late 1940s are still on the coast, he adds, one of them moored at the Pacific Maritime Museum. “She has a proud racing history and the Banke family looks forward to more racing in the coming years.”

I already have a clientele that’s waiting for me to open up a studio.” But a desire to teach won’t outweigh her love of performing, should the PNE contest bring a more highprofile performance opportunity her way. “I would definitely do that,” she said.

Frankie Bones, who turns 19 later this month, is planning to attend Walla Walla University in the fall.

Surrey musician heading to U.S. university in fall

Aspiring pianist graduates Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Last year at around this time, Frankie Bones was fighting to study piano in the U.S. The aspiring musician had been invited to attend a school in Washington and take piano classes with a professor at Walla Walla University. But as a foster child, Bones ran into roadblocks as he was technically under the custody of the B.C. Ministry of Children and Family Development. The controversy was played out in newspapers and on TV, but was eventually resolved. And last August, the 18-yearold did, in fact, leave his longtime foster family in Surrey and head south for school. The battle to go, says Bones, was well worth it.

“Definitely,” he said last week, now back in Surrey for the summer, having graduated Grade 12 from Walla Walla Valley Academy. “I’ve already learned so much. I have so much more endurance on the piano,” Bones said, explaining he can not only play longer, but he plays better. He also went on a 10-day tour of Europe with his school orchestra, visiting and performing in Prague, Vienna and Germany. His longtime foster mother, Esther Cordner, says the entire experience has been invaluable. “He’s just blossomed. He has done so well,” Cordner says. “It’s a success story.” Now, Bones plans to head back to Walla Walla in mid-September to start his first year of university. His goal is to earn his bachelor’s

degree in music performance, with a minor in kinesiology. “It’s the back-up plan,” he says of his minor, explaining that if his music career doesn’t pan out, he can be a gym trainer or teacher. Bones turns 19 on Aug. 20 and will no longer be part of the foster care system. The same day, he will be performing at a concert at the Westminster Seventh-Day Adventist Church – the same church he plays the organ in for weekly services. The recital will feature Bones, as well as a few guest performers, and is a fundraiser for The College Worthy Student Fund for college students in need of financial assistance. The concert takes place Aug. 20, 7 p.m. The church is located at 7925 10 Ave. in Burnaby.

A video exploring the realities of gang involvement developed by Surrey students will be aired this weekend on TV. Called Gangs & Youth Views from a Lower Mainland Symposium, the video was developed through a multi-year collaboration between Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Acting Together - Community University Research Alliance project, Shaw Communications and Surrey School District. Students in Grades 10 through 12 conducted interviews, did camera work and voiceovers for the video. Included is an interview with Jay Dobyns, a former undercover agent who spent two years infiltrating the Hells Angels. As well, the teens spoke to Cpl. Doug Spencer, a transit police officer who’s been involved in more than 1,000 gang investigations, and Rob Rai, assistant manager of safe schools with the Surrey School District. The video initiative piggybacks on Acting Together’s (AT) goals of researching the prevention of youth-related gang violence and supporting positive youth-related community initiatives. “Nothing could have made me happier than to see that the students put in hard hours when they could have been out playing video games or watching TV, let alone getting into trouble,” said Bob Basil, expert communications collaborator for AT. “I was humbled by the motivations of these students.” It’s expected the video will become a model and educational tool for the community. The video will be made available worldwide through YouTube, but will be aired on Shaw TV (Channel 4) on Aug. 13, 11 p.m. and Aug. 14, 9 p.m.

White Rock Selects prepare to represent Canada on international stage

World Series is ‘chance of a lifetime’ Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

hen they slipped the jerseys over their heads, that’s when it finally felt real – tangible proof that the 12-year-old White Rock Selects would soon be representing their country at the Cal Ripken World Series. And once the red-and-white jerseys had been handed out, none of the 14 young ball players wanted to take them off. “We gave out the jerseys to the kids, took a team photo, and then had a practice with them on,” explained White Rock head coach Ed McLaughlin. “Then we had a practice the next day, and everybody showed up wearing their jerseys again. They didn’t want to take them off.” “Everything has started getting real pretty quick.” The team of ball players – the majority of whom have played together the last three summers – coaches and parents left Wednesday for Aberdeen, Md., host site of the Cal Ripken World Series. The tournament, which features some of the top youth players from across the globe, begins with opening ceremonies Aug. 12 – “Each country parades in with their flag, sort of a mini Olympic ceremonies,” McLaughlin said – and the games wrap up Aug. 21. White Rock earned the right to represent Canada at the event after defeating the Calgary Coyotes in a best-of-three series last month. McLaughlin’s group has been together since June, when the Little League regular season ended, and though they usually spend their summer playing in tournaments throughout the Pacific Northwest, this year’s eastward journey is a welcome change of pace. “Oh yeah, this is the biggest thing we’ve done, for sure,” McLaughlin said. “This is the chance of a lifetime for these boys, and I’m very excited about taking them.” Cal Ripken Baseball differs from the Little League variety in a handful of ways – basepaths are 50 feet rather than 40, pitchers pitch from further away and base-runners are allowed lead-offs on the bases. While in Aberdeen, just northeast of Baltimore, team members will stay with host families, and in addition to playing games – they begin with a five-games-in-five-nights stretch – the team will also have time for day trips, including one planned for nearby Washington, DC.

White Rock Selects’ first baseman Hunter Hughes applies the tag to a Calgary Coyotes baserunner after a pickoff attempt during a game last month. The two teams played a best-of-three series at Laronde Elementary, with the winner advancing to the Cal Ripken World Series. On the field, McLaughlin is expecting some very stiff competition – White Rock will play Japan, Mexico, Korea, Australia and the Dominican Republic. In preparation for the challenge, the Selects have been practising and playing against older competition. “We’ve heard that the Dominican team, and Mexico, have pitchers that can throw 80 (mph), so that’s going to be a real tough challenge,” McLaughlin said, adding that the average 12-year-old hurler hits between 55 and 60 mph on the radar gun. But no matter the opposition, McLaughlin insisted his squad will compete hard.

“That’s our philosophy – we never give up, no matter what inning it is, or what the score is, we just keep going,” he said. “As coaches, we’ve realized that in Little League or Cal Ripken baseball, scores can get lopsided pretty quick, but they can also come back quickly the other way – we’ve had games where we’re down 5-1 and then won 10-5.” More than anything, McLaughlin said, the coaches have stressed to their young charges the importance of savouring the moment. “You have to keep in mind that the boys are only 12, and they’re going to make mistakes

out there, but the important thing is that they get to have a great international experience like this. “For most of these guys, this will be the highest level of ball they’ll ever play in their life, so we’ve just told them that being nervous is normal, but they need to just take a deep breath, don’t squeeze the bat so tight, and just give it your best and have a good time.” To follow the White Rock Selects’ progress in Aberdeen, visit the Cal Ripken World Series website, http://crws.ripkenbaseball. com

Eagles swap leading scorer for blue-liner Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

File photo

Richard Vanderhoek has been dealt to Westside. but in any deal where you’re bringing in a good player, you’ve got to give up something good, too.” And Monday, the team announced what had long been rumoured throughout the summer – that they’d acquired the rights to 19-year-old forward Brandon Tanev from the Cowichan Valley Capitals. In exchange, Erhart

shipped blue-liner Josh Monk to the Caps. Last season, Tanev was a point-per-game player with the Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Markham Waxers, but requested to be traded out west, where he’ll be closer to his brother, Vancouver Canucks defenceman Chris Tanev. Like his older brother – who burst onto the

– who was playing junior A hockey just two years before he found himself in the NHL – Brandon is also a “late bloomer,” according to Erhart. Tanev played in bantam but then,

partly due to his small stature, took a few years off from competitive hockey – instead playing high school and roller hockey – before hitting a growth spurt and returning to the competitive game with

Markham, where he put up 16 goals and 42 points in 46 games. “Everyone knows his brother’s story, and that helps him, but he’s looking to make a name for himself here,” Erhart said.

IN BU R Y IG & H M T O A VE W AY !

Even though the start of the B.C. Hockey League season is still more than a month away, Surrey Eagles’ head coach Matt Erhart is wasting little time reworking his roster. And he’s not just making a minor tweak here or there, either. On the weekend, he shipped 20-year-old forward Richard Vanderhoek – a 26-goal scorer last year who would have been the Birds’ top offensive threat had he returned – to the Westside Warriors in exchange for hardnosed defenceman Matt Cronin, 19. “We had a pretty good playoff run last year, but just felt that by the third round, we were getting pushed around a little bit, and running out of gas,” Erhart said. “We thought we needed a harder edge, a more physical defence, and Matt is six-foot-three, 215 (pounds), and is a player that brings that edge for us. “It’s tough to give up a player like Richard,

Canucks’ scene last season and ended up playing 29 games in the NHL – Brandon is also a pro prospect; earlier this summer he attended the Canucks’ prospects camp, and playing in Surrey will allow the NHL club’s brass to keep close tabs on his development. “Hopefully, Brandon will be able to replace some of the offence we’ll lose with (Vanderhoek) gone,” Erhart said. The deal for Tanev was a long process, said Erhart, who is heading into his second season at the helm of the Eagles, and the trade was further complicated when, after Tanev expressed his desire to come play in Surrey, his rights were swapped to Cowichan from Penticton. “It was a two-month process to land him here,” Erhart explained. “It took awhile, and it was tough, but like anything, you just keep working at it, and follow it through, and in the end, we got the guy we wanted.” Like his older brother

sports Peninsula athletes faring well at Kamloops meet

Reid scores pair of medals at Western Canada Games Sports Reporter

South Surrey sprinter Katie Reid locked up a pair of medals in the first few days of competition at Western Canada Summer Games, which are currently being held in Kamloops. Reid, an Earl Marriott grad who will run next year at UCLA, won a bronze medal in the 200-m sprint – fellow Surrey runner Sabrina Nettey was first – and also picked up a silver medal with Team BC’s women’s

4x100 relay team. Reid isn’t the only one faring well in the B.C. Interior – White Rock Christian Academy graduate Sean Keane also scooped a silver medal, in the 800-m, while Surrey’s Django Lovett was second in high jump. Ryan Sommer finished just off the podium in two events, placing fourth in both discus and shotput, and was eighth in hammer throw. Middle-distance runner Jack Williams was seventh in the 1,500-m race.

Athletes fare well in sprint race

Top marks in triathlon Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

A handful of Surrey and White Rock triathletes clocked good times at the Walnut Grove Triathlon last weekend in Langley. White Rock’s Sarah Baker placed fifth overall – and first out of 18 athletes in her female 20-29 year old division – after clocking an overall time of one hour, five minutes and 49 seconds. The event was a sprint triathlon, which began with a 750-m swim at the Walnut Grove Community Centre pool, then continued with an 18-km bike ride and finished with a five-km run. Also finishing in the top-10 – out of 151 total competitors – was Surrey resident Serge Score, who finished the

course in 1:06:35. The event was won by Chilliwack’s Robert Johnson, who crossed the line in a blistering 59:44; he was the only participant to finish the race in under one hour. Surrey’s Kelly Dumont was the next fastest local finisher, placing 22nd with a time of 1:14:50 – third out of 28 in the female 30-39 division – while Eric Fernhout was next across the line, in 1:16:49. Finishing in a time of 1:17:04, South Surrey’s Collette Semeniuk was 26th overall, but won her age class (40-49). Competing in the male 40-49 division, Surrey’s Kevin Klock was sixth among the 21 athletes in that division. For full results, visit www.trigeeks. ca/walnut_grove_ triathlon_results.htm

Though medals have not yet been handed out in a number of team sports, a trio of athletes appear to be on their way to a potential podium finish. Sara Groenewegen’s softball squad was 7-0 through Tuesday afternoon, while Byron Keturakis helped B.C.’s baseball team to a 4-2 mark through the first week. On the sand, beach volleyball player Alyssa Wolf was 4-0 by Peace Arch News’ deadline, with wins over Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories and Alberta.

Dear Lance, Thank you for re-rooďŹ ng our home. Carolyn and I are extremely pleased. Your knowledge, service and workmanship were impeccable. We felt comfortable with your approach to our rooďŹ ng needs from our ďŹ rst meeting. We were conďŹ dent in your abilities and felt that your knowledge came from a lifetime of experience in the rooďŹ ng industry. We were informed consumers and obtained quotes only from reputable contractors. We checked references, inspected previous jobs, and were very speciďŹ c in choosing our rooďŹ ng products. We insisted on installation of our new roof with a full manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warranty. You worked with us throughout this process and provided us with everything we asked for to maintain transparency. Most importantly, you provide us with your expertise and invested a lot of time with us even before we committed to choosing Semiahmoo Contracting for our needs. This shows us your dedication to your art. We were apprehensive about the actual rerooďŹ ng process. We had heard horror stories. We were adamant that we did not want subcontracted trades on-site and you assured us that your ďŹ rm did not subcontract work. This was very apparent after we met your crew. They were phenomenal - quiet, respectful and professional. They tread very softly on our property and left a very light footprint of their presence with us. We believe that all the rooďŹ ng products on the market are likely very good. Workmanship is the key and your workmanship stands out. We have absolutely no hesitations recommending TMO/ Semiahmoo RooďŹ ng and do so with pleasure. Please provide our contact information to potential customers who may want to ďŹ nd out more about our experience. Kindest personal regards, 6IC #AROLYN "UBBAR s Residential & Commercial Re-RooďŹ ng Specialists

Work is underway by BC Hydro to shore up the tower supporting the 500 KV line across the Fraser River.

Leaning hydro tower along Fraser target of pile driving

Stabilization work begins Jeff Nagel Black Press

BC Hydro crews are this week driving piles next to a highvoltage transmission tower along the Fraser River in Surrey that was destabilized by high water in June. The same erosion by the river caused a nearby tower supporting a different power line to fall July 4, triggering a large-scape power outage and

forcing the closure of the Port Mann Bridge and other roads near the Cape Horn interchange where wires were dangling dangerously. Workers will drive eight 100-foot-long steel piles 36 feet into the river bed around the footings of the leaning tower. Rip rap has been placed to shore up the base of the tower over the past three weeks. The pile-driving will run from

7 a.m. to 7 p.m. until Aug. 12. Once finished, support beams will be built to form a new foundation for the tower, which will be straightened. Hydro has so far been using guy wires to hold up the leaning tower. Both sets of power lines remain de-energized. BC Hydro has yet to say how it will devise a permanent solution to repair the 230- and 500-kilovolt transmission lines.

Sex partners urged to disclose infections via e-cards Jeff Nagel Black Press

Contributed photo

A sample STI notification e-card.

It’s an Internet greeting card no one really wants to receive. The B.C. Centre for Disease Control is promoting a free online service that helps break the news to former sex partners that you may have given them a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Users of the inSPOT service can send anonymous e-cards via email to up to six partners warning them that they should get tested.

Recipients get a link to information on how and where to get testing. The site, www.inspot.org, also offers information on STIs. Dr. Mark Gilbert at the BCCDC said notifications are critical to combatting and preventing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia, gonorrhea and HIV. “Anyone can use inSPOT. It doesn’t require visitors to login or register to use the service,” he said. “It’s free, simple and easy to use.”

Users select an e-card with one of several different messages, enter the partner’s email address and can also add a personal message. “Sometimes there are strings attached,” reads one of the e-cards. Another says: “It’s not what you brought to the party, it’s what you left with. I left with an STI. You might have, too.” The service has been implemented in other North American cities after being developed in 2004 in San Francisco.

news B.C. government program to provide funding for nicotine therapy

Quit-smoking plan attacked Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to fund nicotine patches and gum for smokers has been lauded by the Canadian Cancer Society and other health organizations, but the program has its detractors. Public feedback since the program was announced in May include a variety of criticisms, according to documents released by Premier Christy Clarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office under freedom of information legislation. The program is set to start Sept. 30. It will provide people up to 12 weeksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; supply of over-thecounter nicotine gum or patches, or prescription pills approved by the Pharmacare program. The government estimates it will cost $15-25 million a year, depending on how many smokers sign up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a physician, I am a bit ambivalent about your decision to fund nicotine replacement, as along with the drug there is also need for counselling and follow-up,â&#x20AC;? said one response posted on B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new open information website. Others objected to the decision to spend millions on nicotine replacement, while diabetics and other chronic disease patients have to pay to treat conditions they did not bring upon themselves.

Premier Christy Clark and cancer survivor Denton Bailey announce a program to fund nicotine therapy starting Sept. 30. cine and $2,000 for a machine recommended by her family doctor and cardiologist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I honestly believe it is outright wrong to pay for this when smokers made a choice to start smoking and continue to make a choice every time they light up,â&#x20AC;? he said. A former smoker who quit before nicotine replacement was available also objected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I realize [nicotine replacement] is expensive, but so are cigarettes,â&#x20AC;? the ex-smoker wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a person is desirous of quitting, then donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy cigarettes,

buy the patch instead.â&#x20AC;? Others urged the B.C. government to extend the program to cover stop-smoking treatments that use lasers, acupuncture and other treatments. Several hypnotherapists sent a form letter urging the government to extend coverage to their form of smoking treatment. The health ministry estimates that more than 6,000 B.C. residents die from tobacco use each year. Tobacco-related illnesses cost an estimated $2.3 billion a year, $605 million of which is direct health-care costs.

Families of missing women doubting inquiry Jeff Nagel Black Press

Months ago, the National Parole Board promised to notify Ernie Crey if serial killer Robert Pickton is transferred between prisons for any reason. Now the feds have retracted the offer by way of a letter to Crey, whose sister is thought to have been slaughtered on Pickton’s Port Coquitlam farm. The Sto:lo elder and frequent spokesman for the victims’ families File photo was told he doesn’t Some of the dozens of women who went missing automatically qualify from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. for notifications went to trial, or if it was Women Inquiry, which because Dawn Crey limited to the third set is itself supposed to wasn’t among the six probe the litany of missing women Pickton of suspected victims like his sister, where police errors that was actually convicted charges were let Pickton prey on of murdering. never laid vulnerable women for “It’s upsetting,” despite DNA so long before his 2002 Crey said, that placed her arrest. calling the error on the farm.

She said Victoria has created a flawed and one-sided inquiry by limiting legal funding mainly to police and government members who are called to testify. Critics say counsellors, support workers and others close to the Downtown Eastside’s vulnerable women will be underequipped to put hard questions to welldefended police and government reps who might have had the power to stop Pickton. Inquiry head and former attorney general Wally Oppal agreed and pressed hard for more money. Last week, he gave up and the inquiry reshuffled its budget to free up a smaller amount of cash to hire

unravelling of the inquiry right before our eyes,” he said. That would be a bitter blow for both Crey – who campaigned for the inquiry – and for other families and friends who struggled for years to get the VPD to take the disappearances of sextrade workers seriously.

OBITUARIES

Russell Lee Anderson July 29th, 1921 to July 30th, 2011 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Russell Lee Anderson, a beloved and devoted husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend peacefully on July 30th, 2011 with his family by his side. He is survived by his wife Margaret (Buddy), daughter Deborah Lee, sons Russell Jr. (Donna), David (Jody) and Mark (Julie), and grandchildren Katherine, Eric and Sophia and his sister Eileen. Born in New Westminster, Russell was the fourth son of a large family of 9 children. In 1941 at the age of nineteen he joined the Royal Canadian Navy and was sent to Halifax, the first time away from his family and hometown. He saw active duty during WWII as a signal coder on several ships; he became an officer and an officer trainer during his service. On February 14th 1947 he married Margaret (Buddy) Hoskin; his loving wife and friend of 64 years. Russ received a BA and B.Ed from UBC and a MA from the University of Western Washington and became a secondary school teacher and counsellor in Surrey/ White Rock. He also completed the Radiological Defence Officer program with the Department of National Defence. Russ was an enthusiastic seeker of knowledge in many subjects. He loved music, played several instruments and his singing virtuosity was well recognized by all who new him. A “Science Guy” at heart as well as an astute business man... he built the Rodeo Drive-in and started the first Christmas tree farm in the Lower Mainland along with numerous business enterprises. In the early 80's Russ and Buddy “retired” to living in Desert Hot Springs and “ the Lake” at the Lawrence Beach in Vernon, B.C where they had been summering at their place for over 40 years. They enjoyed their time in both places making great life long friends. Russ will be sorely missed; our many fond memories will live on forever in our minds and hearts. His spot at the head of the table will be always! Thank you for the food we eat Thank you for the birds that sing Thank you God for everything. A reflection of Russ's life will be held at “the cabin” @ 61 Lawrence Lane, Vernon, B.C. on Saturday, August 13th from 1pm to 3pm. A Lower Mainland celebration will be held at a later date. Notes may be sent to deblee.anderson@gmail.com or mjanderson0623@gmail.com Arrangements are in the care of Vernon Funeral Home 250-542-0155.

CAUGHLAN, Rhoda Harriet (nee Parsons) Feb. 7, 1920 - July 28, 2011 Age 91, passed away quietly at the Peace Arch Hospital with her family present. She was predeceased by her husband John in March 1990. Rhoda was born in a little town, Saltcoats, Saskatchewan and settled in White Rock in 1950. Her favourite activities were doing crafts, making quilts and afghans, and baking wonderful treats for her three children Mel, Eileen and Carol, six grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. Rhoda is survived by her brother, Reg in Saskatoon, a sister, Linda in Duncan and many loving nieces, nephews and friends. Special thanks to Dr. Robson who looked after our mother so well for so many years, Dr. McGlynn, Dr. Thornton and the rest of the amazing staff in the Peace Arch Geriatric Unit. A Celebration of Life will be held on August 20th at 2:00pm at Victory Memorial Park, 14531 28th Ave, Surrey.

Pastor Ken Klassen will ofﬁciate.

On the morning of August 8, 2011 Jean Irene Merchant (nee Miller) passed away peacefully at Peace Arch Hospital. She will be greatly missed by her brother Bernard, who resides in England, her children Paul (Dianne), Keith and Joyce Leblanc (Desmond), by her grandchildren Darren, Shawn, Brigitte, Rachel and Luc and her 7 great grandchildren Trevor, Noah, Elijah, Hunter, Jesse, Brianne and Marceline. Born in Edmonton, England on the 27th of February 1918, Jean lived there until near the end of the 2nd World War where she met her future husband, Robert Merchant from Walkerton, Ontario who was a young gunner with the Canadian Army stationed in England at the time. They were married on the 3rd of June 1944. In 1946 Robert was required to return to Canada with his unit for discharge from the Military 1 month before the birth of their first child. On July 21, 1946, Jean sailed to Canada on the Queen Mary, to present their infant son Paul to his father for the first time. She remained in Canada since then, living for many years in Walkerton , and was a resident of White Rock for 38 years. Jean and Robert were married for 56 years when Robert passed away in 2000. Jean enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren & walking along the White Rock pier, also traveling. There will be no funeral service.

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Mazda5 offers minivan practicality in a compact By Neil Moore Metroland Media Carguide Magazine. Launching in 2006, the Mazda5 didn’t become the company’s number two selling nameplate in Canada on the strength of its style or even its zoom-zoominess. Not that these are entirely lacking. It’s because this five-door, multiactivity vehicle – which could be best described as a three-quarter-size minivan – is just so darned practical. And with so little like it, the Mazda5 is nearly in a segment of its own. Since arriving in Canada, Mazda has sold just over 50,000 of these vehicles to-date, but that being said, 2010 saw a 13.8 percent drop in sales. In short, was time for an update. Mazda in its wisdom, chose not to entirely remake the vehicle (why fix what ain’t broke?), and resisted the urge to make it bigger. Instead they revised key areas like performance and styling, along with a few tweaks to its functionality and driving dynamics. The company may label the 2012 Mazda5 “all-new”, but in my mind, they have simply refined a very sensible design. First, the engine has been upgraded from a 2.3-litre (153 hp/148 lb-ft) to the 2.5-litre four currently used in Mazda3 and Mazda6, with a sixspeed manual as standard and five-speed automatic available. The new powerplant delivers up to 157 hp at a lower rpm than before, along with substantially more torque (163 lb/ft). And there’s a tall sixth gear for quieter cruising at highway speeds. It’s a little punchier than the previous model, and is reasonably peppy with the manual shift. Which isn’t surprising, as the Mazda5 is only 197 kg heavier than the nimble 2.5-litre Mazda3 sedan. What’s most noticeable is the new look. The size, shape and proportions haven’t changed, but the conservative lines and clean, slab sides of the previous model have been replaced by the company’s Nagare “flow” design language – the first time it has been used in a production vehicle. The idea behind this new look is to incorporate the forces of wind and water, with the design team describing its effect on the Mazda5 as “a single bead of water with ripples intentionally left on the surface, such that the body’s lines express the flow of motion.” Sounds kind of new-agey, and I’ve heard a mixed response to the new styling. It is, however, distinctive and still prettier than the pumpkin-shaped Kia Rondo, it’s direct competition. The Chevrolet Orlando is a slightly truckier, more aggressive take on this kind of vehicle and may give the Mazda5 a run for the money when it arrives later this year. The new 5’s flowing curves seem to start at the love-it-or-hateit Mazda family front grille, passing over the headlamps, hood and fenders, continuing down the sides to the rear lamps and tailgate in a continuous stream. The tail lights now sit lower, and the rear window panels are blacked out to cover the D-pillar, giving the look of glass wrapping around the body. The sliding door rails have also been blended with the character lines, cleaning up the look. First impressions aside, the Mazda5 is best judged by what you’ll find under the skin – which is a very flexible, and surprisingly roomy, interior that can be configured for just about any combination of two-six

passengers, plus cargo. The front doors open to two comfortable captain’s chairs, upholstered in an attractive, grippy fabric. Access to the second row is through two sliding doors that are lighter and require less effort than the before. They open wide, making it easy to load kids and bulky child seats with little clearance between vehicles. Here, you’ll also find comfortable captain’s chairs with loads of kneeroom and a generous space between them. This can serve as a pass-through to the rear, or a buffer between kids who otherwise enjoy tormenting one another. The middle-row chairs also slide fore and aft to allow for more knee room in back. And to access the rear, a one-touch lever automatically tips the seatback forward and slides the cushion to its front-most position. With the mid-row seats moved up a little, there’s just enough room in the third-row for two shorter adults. My kids, however, loved sitting there. Got stuff to carry? Here’s where the Mazda5 really shines. The back seats drop individually in a single motion to provide a flat cargo floor. Lift a rear panel, and there’s an underfloor storage tray, with the compact spare below. Also in back are a cargo light and 12-volt powerpoint. The second-row seats can also be dropped without removing the headrests – just pull a strap and they flop forward. Another strap brings the seatpan forward, revealing more hidden storage. From here, you can fold the seatbacks forward to create a level cargo floor from front to back. Mazda rates the carrying capacity as follows: 112 litres behind the third row, 426 litres behind the second row and a maximum 857 litres behind the front seats (with both rows folded). Those figures didn’t seem to do justice to the cavernous cargo area, so I pulled out my tape measure to size things up. Being somewhat conservative and taking into account curvature and intrusions, I measured roughly 66 inches (1,676 mm) of cargo length behind the first row, a minimum of 41 inches (1041 mm) between the wheel wells and between 32 inches (813 mm) and 35 inches (889 mm) high. You do the math, keeping in mind that a cubic metre is equal to 1,000 litres. I found enough space – in theory – to slide in my full-sized refrigerator, with the hatch slightly ajar. Not bad for a compact vehicle of any kind. On the other hand, with six people seated, there isn’t much room for their stuff. You can, however, still slide in a few bags of groceries behind the third row. The 2012 Mazda5 is available in two trim levels: the GS, which starts at $21,795 and the GT at $24,395. Both are powered by the same engine and start with a six-speed manual. The five-speed automatic adds $1,200. For a base vehicle, the GS is surprisingly well equipped. You get 16inch alloy wheels, power mirrors, windows and locks, four-speaker AM/ FM/CD/MP3 audio system with aux input and steering wheel controls, air conditioning with filtration, outside temperature display, and more. Unexpected at this price point are standard rain-sensing wipers, automatic dusk-sensing headlights, automatic climate control and rear HVAC controls for the second row. All Mazda5’s get a full suite of safety and handling features that include four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, brake assist and electronic brakeforce distribution, dynamic stability control, traction control, and a full complement of airbags: front, side and side curtain.

Although the Mazda5 (GS shown) gets new styling for 2012, its shape and size remain the same. So does its ﬂexibility for carrying passengers and cargo.

The Mazda5’s abundant black plastic is nicely accented by chrome and metallic trim, fabric inserts and attractive, easy-to-read gauges and displays.

The Convenience Package, for another $845, adds a Bluetooth handsfree phone system, cruise control, trip computer, leather-wrapped steering wheel, anti-theft system and more. Move up to the GT, and in addition, you get 17-inch alloys; fog lights; heated mirrors; rear spoiler; side sills; Xenon headlights; an upgraded audio system with six speakers, six-CD changer and satellite radio; Bluetooth and heated seats. For large families in the habit of carrying a full load of passengers and hockey bags, the Mazda5 may not be enough. Neither will most SUVs, unless you move up to the school-bus-size Chevy Suburban, Ford Expedition and the like. Or you can opt for a minivan. But if you’re like me and have a couple of kids, but occasionally want to bring along their grandparents, vehicles like the Mazda5 are just the ticket. Same goes if you need to pick up the odd appliance, table or loveseat, but don’t want a gas-guzzling behemoth as your daily driver. Indeed, the Mazda5 seems to have the right balance of comfort, space and ﬂexibility, in a compact package that is agile, responsive and easy on fuel. The 2012 model is on sale now at dealerships.
