Marine Drive proposal

Feeding the need

Show of force against height

Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Ebbing waters of the Semiahmoo Bay and the lush green of Semiahmoo Park – the view is reality for many residents who call Marine Drive home, and White Rock’s Barry Wait is no different. But unlike the majority, Wait’s panorama includes a direct line to his former life. From his balcony, he can see one of the places he used to curl up to sleep at night, because he had nowhere else to go. Down the street is the fish-and-chip restaurant whose fare – tossed by those who ordered more than ❝I lost everything… they could manage – Wait would pull but through the a nearby grace and through from garbage bin to the White Rock food soothe his hunger. “Through some bank, I survived.❞ bad choices… I lost everything,” the former salesman says, recalling the seven years he spent on the streets after falling into the clutches of drugs and alcohol. “I lost my family, I lost my wife, I lost my children…” It’s been about 10 years since Wait, now 74, turned his life around. He’s reconnecting with his children and has remarried. But the memory of those years stays with him. He doesn’t let it bring him down. In fact, for the past 2½ years, he uses his story to raise awareness of and support for Sources’ White Rock/South Surrey Food Bank.

For 2½ years, former food bank client Barry Wait has helped others, thanks to donors’ generosity.

Proponents of a controversial proposal for an iconic White Rock waterfront site received a frosty response Monday, as area residents – many carrying ‘Stick to the OCP’ lawn signs – packed council chambers for the city’s land use and planning committee meeting. “My simple answer to this is indeed simple – it’s no,” said Coun. Mary-Wade Anderson, following a presentation by architect Tim Ankenman on the project proposed for the White Rock Mufflers site. “It has to go back, have another look.” A staff recommendation that the committee support sending the project to council for first and second readings was not considered. Georgia Laine Developments has asked for zoning and Official Community Plan amendments in order to construct a three-building residential/commercial complex on 1.14 acres encompassing 14807 Marine Dr., 1184 Oxford St. and 14818 to 14832 Buena Vista Ave. The proposal includes about 84 residential units – condominiums and townhouses – as well as groundlevel commercial space, with the latter to front Marine Drive. see page A9

Surrey campaign targets dumping.

For anyone eyeing a deserted lot in which to dump garbage, think again. The City of Surrey is warning that you are not in the shadows. Since June, mobile surveillance cameras have been covertly watching over a number of vacant lots around the city that are frequently targeted by illegal dumping. The use of cameras is not a new tactic in the city’s fight against the perpetrators of this dirty crime; live monitoring, however, is.

“Where the idea now is, that the monitoring centre can then call out the RCMP and try and catch the people while they are doing it,” said Vincent Lalonde, Surrey’s general manager of engineering. Surrey recently introduced stiffer penalties for illegal dumping, raising the maximum fine to $10,000 from $2,000. Convicted offenders are also liable for the cost of cleanup. “That is the whole idea (behind the cameras) – taking people to court,” Lalonde said. Anti-litter public service announcements have

Support Your Local Economy Spend Your Money At Home

been popping up on Surrey bus shelters and in local newspapers as part of the city’s $40,000 advertising campaign that started in March. Enforcing mandatory recycling at demolition and construction sites in Surrey is the last piece in the city’s three-pronged strategy to crack down on illegal dumping. According to Lalonde, some construction crews have been inadvertently encouraging people to add their garbage to the piles of wood and debris that already exists on these sites. see page A4

If it goes to 17 cents, it will be 41.85 cents per litre. This is higher than gas taxes in the Atlantic provinces, which are the highest in the country, and is far more than drivers pay anywhere else in Canada. Something is wrong with this picture. People in the Lower Mainland already pay very high taxes. People in Surrey will soon be paying a toll to cross the Port Mann Bridge, while paying more to fuel their cars to drive longer distances to work, with few transit options available. South Fraser politicians should be pushing hard for a reduction in the gas tax – not an increase. They should also lobby for minimal tolls on all Lower Mainland river and inlet crossings, to distribute that load more fairly. And at the same time, they should emphatically reject any car tax to pay for a transit service that benefits the Burrard Peninsula at the expense of the South Fraser region. If not, a tax revolt is in order. Fairness in taxation is essential, and Surrey, Delta and White Rock drivers are already paying more than their share.

news Sponsors needed this week

Sea festival fireworks may be doused Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

Elements of this year’s Spirit of the Sea Festival will have to be scaled back – or cancelled entirely – if more sponsors don’t step up within the week. The fireworks would be the most visible loss, according to event chair John Timms, who said the deadline for sponsorship is July 19. “At this point the fireworks are not funded and they may be cut,” he said Tuesday. It’s not the first time the festival favourite has faced the chopping block. Funding was

late coming in last year, and in 2009, organizers were prepared to axe the display until a sponsor stepped in at the last minute, allowing the show to go on. The fireworks cost about $10,000 to put on, and they aren’t the only aspect of the festival in jeopardy, according to Timms. “The entertainment program might have to be scaled back because there’s the cost of hiring the entertainers. There’s also costs in terms of equipment, the rental of equipment and production of the entertainment program,” he said. “Our ability to present a full lineup of entertainment is dependent upon

additional sponsorship dollars materializing prior to July 19.” About $5,000 is needed to cover entertainment costs, and a sponsor would receive naming rights to the Main Stage. There are also smaller sponsorship opportunities available, such as funding individual events. Timms attributed a lack of sponsorship partly to the organizing committee forming late and not having enough time to rally the community. “The sponsorship drives traditionally would begin early in the fall but the committee, as

it stands now, for most of us or at least for a number of us, have joined the committee since the new year.” The group is still looking for people to join the committee and help seek out sponsorship. Volunteers are also sought, especially those with prior festival experience. The Spirit of the Sea Festival will be held July 29 to Aug. 1 on White Rock Beach. For more information, visit spiritofthesea. ca. Donations can be left at the White Rock Chamber of Commerce, 100-15261 Russell Ave. The sea festival executive can be contacted via the chamber at 604-536-6844.

Canada Line, local bus service subpar, says Lynne Sinclair

White Rock councillor disputes TransLink stats Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

TransLink statistics that indicate a higher satisfaction with bus service amongst South Surrey/White Rock commuters came as a surprise to White Rock Coun. Lynne Sinclair. “I gotta tell you – I don’t hear 7.9 (out of 10) from people,” Sinclair told Brian Mills, the transportation authority’s director of service and infrastructure, following Mills’ recent delegation to council. In his June 27 presentation, Mills quoted the local figure and described it as “higher than the average for the bus routes in the system.” But Sinclair said her experience – personal, and based on concerns she’s fielded from commuters – is quite different, with much of it relating to changes implemented since the Canada Line opened. While the system has been “wonderful” for those who live in Rich-

mond or Vancouver, it has resulted in lengthy waits for students travelling to UBC; and challenges for seniors, particularly those with mobility issues, trying to navigate the Bridgeport Station, she said. She cited a lack of benches and no ‘down’ escalators among concerns. “It’s getting on Canada Line. I can tell you from my own perspective…

I wish you’d thought of the people with knee problems, ‘cause there’s way more of us,” she said. Students bound for UBC have reported having to wait four buses before being able to board at Bridgeport, Sinclair said. Mills, noting a schedule change coming to the Canada Line this summer, agreed with Sinclair that

her comments “may be a little dated.” Mills attended the meeting in response to several requests from White Rock council for a community consultation to review existing routes and service hours. In discussing changes specific to the White Rock/South Surrey area, Mills described increased service

Cloverdale merchants urged to lobby for transit change Jennifer Lang Black Press

Speak up, if you don’t want rapid transit to bypass Cloverdale. If you haven’t, then don’t complain when future expansion by TransLink runs straight to Langley. That’s the message Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt had for members of the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association, when he spoke last month at their annual general meeting. Hunt said it’s imperative business leaders and residents help lobby – hard – for a Cloverdale connection.

TransLink is currently studying rapid transit expansion options through Surrey – whether it’s SkyTrain, light rail or bus rapid transit. Hunt’s not impressed with TransLink’s latest set of routes, which include scenarios for lines running down Fraser Highway from Surrey City Centre to downtown Langley – an option that he believes will serve Langley at the expense of Cloverdale. “My concern is that TransLink is completely ignoring Cloverdale, bypassing it, so that all we’re doing is continuing to build Langley Township and Langley City,” Hunt said.

to and from the South Surrey Park & Ride and an increase in the frequency of #351 buses to Bridgeport. He also noted the new C53 shuttle providing service to Grandview Corners, introduced late last year. Regarding service to White Rock’s waterfront, Mills said TransLink continues to monitor demand. Mills said one challenge of the waterfront is traffic congestion. Backups along Marine Drive impact service “everywhere,” he said. Coun. Al Campbell disagreed with a suggestion that new traffic lights installed on Marine at Oxford have only added to the problem. “The traffic lights… are moving traffic,” he said. Campbell said he is concerned about the lack of bus service that is actually in White Rock. “Most of the bus service is South Surrey. We go to it,” he said. “I would like to see the bus in White Rock more.”

City urges ‘tidier’ construction sites from page A1 “Our rationale being that if all the construction sites are tidier – and by tidier we are going to challenge them to recycle more – then people will not see new construction zones as dumping areas,” said Lalonde. City staff are consulting with the construction industry to work out the logistics; however, subject to council approval, mandatory recycling at these sites could be a reality as early as the fall. The City of North Vancouver has had a demolition waste recycling bylaw in place since 2007.

That city requires a detailed outline of where exactly the materials will be recycled before a demolition permit is issued. John de Ruiter, assistant manager of inspections for North Vancouver, said approximately 25 homes a year are demolished in the city, with a diversion rate of more than 70 per cent. He estimates there are at least 20 tonnes of demolition waste in each home. Mike Holloway, owner of Assertive Excavating And Demolition Ltd. in Surrey, carts his recyclables to a local depot that hand sorts and shreds everything.

“(Recycling) is kind of the way we have gone and it’s worked out really well for us,” said Holloway. “(The recycling depot) gives us pretty competitive dump fees. The landfill is pretty expensive, whereas they are a little less.” In the end, the City of Surrey is hoping its illegal dumping strategy will cut the cost of cleanup. The city spent more than $800,000 last year hauling away trash that had been pitched in ditches, fields, empty lots and road sides, with a 2010 cost increase the largest jump in 10 years. – with files from Kevin Diakiw

‘I only wish we could do more’ from page A1 Church, he is credited with inspiring more than $60,000 in donations, including $27,000 dropped off last December. And last Thursday, a $5,000 cheque came in from a lone member of the congregation. Food bank manager Ruth Chitty said Wait’s experience living in poverty has been invaluable in helping people understand who in their own community uses the food bank and why. “You remain aware and you immediately find common ground with people. You understand,” Chitty told Wait. “Through that, we have seen so much action and support.” For Wait, the choice of charity was a simple one. After all, the food bank saved his life. For about 18 months, he stood in line once a week to receive the two days’ worth of food that clients are allotted. That, along with the dignified manner in which he was treated, helped keep him on the difficult road to recovery. “It was my survival,” he said. “They treated me so well in terms of the nutrition I needed to survive. I lost everything… but through the grace and through the White Rock food bank, I survived. “Coming out of the despair and into the hope, you need food. It’s pretty hard to think and have any optimism on an empty belly.” Wait was introduced

to Peace Portal Alliance Church through his recovery program. When one of the pastors was encouraging community involvement and outreach, the food bank was the first thing that came to Wait’s mind. He told his story, and the rest is history. Food drives are announced through the church bulletin, and Wait does what he can to raise awareness of the importance of healthy food donations. He also stresses how much more the food bank can do with monetary donations, through bulk buying. Wait hopes his efforts will help correct the stereotype many people have of those who use the food bank. They’re not “useless,

non-workers and bums,” he said. “The people that are coming here are young moms with four children, young dads… seniors. The need here is for somebody that’s been working and then all of a sudden, they’re out of a job. “There’s a great need, and it’s growing.” While Wait, himself, no longer relies on the food bank – he now stands in the order line at the fishand-chip shop when a craving for the meal hits – he’s not about to shelve his efforts to lend a hand. “This is just something, it’s in my heart. I have great respect for everybody going through here, because I was there. I only wish we could do more.”

editorial

B.C. drivers pay enough already ore pain at the pump is imminent, as the regional mayors’ council has decided the way to finance TransLink’s Evergreen Line to Coquitlam is to ding motorists an extra two cents per litre when they fuel up. The proposed measure – increasing the gas tax take for the transit authority from the current 15 cents to 17 cents effective next April – has the agreement of the provincial government. This is on top of B.C.’s carbon tax on gas, which just went up on July 1 to 5.56 cents a litre. (It will rise again to 6.67 cents per litre in 2012). In fact, feeding government coffers now account for one-third of the cost of a litre of fuel, with Metro Vancouver motorists paying the highest gas taxes in Canada. No one welcomes user fees, but how to fund much-needed services, such as the Evergreen Line and other transit expansions? Here’s one suggestion: ICBC. The profitable publicly owned auto insurer has boasted healthy reserves over the years – topping $3 billion in 2010 – and hefty annual profits continue to stack up, mainly from investments. (The money comes out of the optional insurance side of ICBC’s business, where the corporation competes with private insurers). In prior years, ICBC issued rebate cheques to drivers to help spread the wealth, but has so far resisted calls from taxpayer groups and unions to lower insurance rates or boost ICBC workers’ wages. Of course, that hasn’t stopped Victoria from raiding the kitty. In a controversial move last year, the BC Liberals funnelled $487 million from ICBC’s cash reserves into general revenue to help offset the provincial deficit. What’s more, budget documents filed last spring showed the province intends to extract around $145 million annually from ICBC, starting this year. That’s more than triple the $40 million that is expected to come each year from the proposed two-cent gas tax hike for TransLink. If ICBC’s successful track record is any indication, and if ideology dictates that those who use the roads should pay for them, then what better way to finance transportation projects than with surplus ICBC shareholder dollars? Vehicle levies, property tax increases, road pricing and bridge tolls pale in comparison to the hundreds of millions of dollars already forked over by B.C. motorists. It’s time to redirect this particular cash cow from the finance minister’s pasture to the people’s pavement.

yes 69% no 31% 103 responding staffing, many news publications and broadcasters have reinvented themselves in the way they report what they purport to be news. Some opt for sleaze, others pander to potential advertisers and a great number choose to entertain rather than inform. Some take up precious news space and time to inform their readers or viewers just how venerable and viable they truly are. Others editorialize with impunity (sometimes because of personal bias; nearly always because of profit). And a great many ignore the world around them while focusing on whatever social or sporting event happens to make news easy to gather – all under the semblance of simply reporting what their audience wants. I have to wonder just how much is gained in this evolution – and how much is lost. Is there a solution? Absolutely. And for anybody with access to the Internet, it’s at your fingertips. I suggest maintaining your own quality control on your news sources. Read from an increasing variety of sources. And read often. And when you find a source that appears to be objective and informative, embrace it. If you think you’re being misled or you’re wasting your time, move on to the next source. There’s good news out there. It’s your job to find it. But don’t take my word for it. Lance Peverley is editor of the Peace Arch News.

Give us a sign Hall-abaloo we’re welcome over city plans Editor: I am proud to be Canadian and a responsible dog owner, but I feel embarrassed to be a resident of this area. On a number of occasions now, I have been treated as a criminal. This morning, I was caught with my bichon frise in a ‘crime’ of being 100 feet on the White Rock side of a sewer pipe at East Beach. I carried my puppy from the parking lot to water’s edge, and we were walking to the old ‘dog beach’ by Semiahmoo Park, when the officer said we could not be there. No reason – just “the law said… talk to your lawyer.” I tried to clarify, since I was told the tidal line is the start of federal land and East Beach was allowed. Last summer, I was nearly assaulted by a woman who claimed she owned the beach. I promised her I respected her point of view, would pay better attention to the rules and get accurate information on where exactly my dog was allowed. I went directly to city hall and they kindly spent 20 minutes getting the boundaries and winter/summer policies sorted out on a city map. Truth be told, the dog-hating lady was wrong, and the officer basically lied by telling me city hall had not given me correct information. Feeling very delinquent again, I mentioned this to another woman walking her dog on the beach, and she said there have been a number of encounters and that, yes, we are on federal land but it is “preferred” that dogs play east of the drainage pipe. I am fine with that. In that case, welcoming signage is warranted so dog owners and visiting families know where they are welcome. If I was treated like this, even once, as a new visitor, I would never visit again. We are not criminals… we understand dogs are not welcome everywhere all the time. Right now, White Rock has no dog park or designated walking area, other than the parking lots and north sidewalks along Marine Drive. Please give us a place and time when we can just play a bit on the beach. Sandra Hartley, Surrey

Legislate laws to stop gouging Editor: Something is horribly wrong when the consumer price of gas is quoted to the third decimal. Instead of having a parliamentary inquiry into gas prices, the government should legislate changes to stop this insanity: • Retail price should not change for a minimum of five days – as opposed to five times a day; • Profit over 20 per cent should be taxed at 40 per cent or more, to stop gouging the consumer not to punish profitability; and • Federal tax should be a fixed amount per litre, not a per cent amount of the retail price. Aldo Babini, White Rock

Editor: Re: Action on new city hall ‘long overdue,’ June 28. Comments by veteran councillor Mary-Wade Anderson on the perceived need for a new city hall seemed quite supportive. However, comments by White Rock residents to me, when discussing the proposal, raised a lot of other needs that should be filled. This raises the question: does White Rock have an existing plan of capital development? In this day of professional management of municipalities, we would think such a planning tool is essential for effective management. It is an outrage, in my opinion, that defects, such as improper heating and worn carpets, exist at city hall. Shouldn’t such basic needs be part of an ongoing maintenance plan? Larry Fagan, White Rock Q Re: New hall a city-wide decision, July 5 letters. The expected gaggle of no-birds has predictably risen to honk against a new city hall without analyzing the issues. The highest and best use of the current city hall site – now including recently purchased property on Pacific Avenue – is not an aging building of no historical significance requiring significant functional upgrades. Space to consolidate city services can be arranged in existing or planned developments in the Town Centre area, recently the subject of

the design charette. Alternatively, a land swap could be arranged wherein land in the Town Centre would have a developer exchanging land, possible in a community amenity-charge negotiation. The result will be a more rational use of land with a civic focal point in Town Centre. A purpose-built city hall is unlikely, however a mixed-use structure similar to communities throughout B.C. makes economic, functional and aesthetic sense. The assertion that council does not have the authority to make such decisions is, frankly, a sophomoric view of democracy. A mayor and six councillors were voted in to guide a corporation with budget spending projected at $30-36 million per year over the next five years. This document is readily available online under Bylaw 1933, for which there were public hearings with less than a dozen people showing interest. This is not high school. Council and staff are running a business. And as shareholders, the White Rock citizens have a responsibility to be informed, attend meetings and vote before honking no, no, no. Larry Robinson, White Rock

The royal treatment Editor: We would like to say thank you to a gentleman who showed our small group of ladies a great kindness. We had gathered at one of the larger restaurants in White Rock for lunch and we were watching on the large-screen TV as Prince William and Kate arrived in Canada.

A gentleman sitting close by heard our conversation and joined us in watching this lovely young couple. He suggested we would be interested in their progress as we explained we were a group of British war brides who enjoyed most things royal! When he left, we thanked him for his chivalrous behaviour, and he made our day by picking up the tab for the lunches of our entire group of seven to make sure we had enjoyed ourselves. So thank you, kind gentleman. Bobbie Laturnus, Surrey

Musical appreciation Editor: Re: Friends of musician pitch in, July 7. I was lucky enough to catch a portion of the special fundraising event at the Rhumba Room. Every musician who came to entertain us in honour of Phil Davey, and to raise funds to recover even a portion of the loss he experienced to theft recently, was not only talented but passionate about the cause. It is a testament to how much Davey does, not only for musicians but the community at large. He is the sound and light man for many events. He seeks out talents and guides them on their pursuit of their dreams. Many young and not-soyoung talents owe so much to him, and the lineup of entertainers and volunteers certainly proved that. So, Phil Davey, thank you for all that you do for our youth, our musicians and our community. Yumi Hirai, Surrey

The Draw-Bridge Mentalities, NIMBYs and BANANAs (Build Absolutely Nothing Around Nobody At-all), standing in the way of the greater community to progress to its potential and to try to extricate itself from the larger problem of overpopulation of communities and the world in general, by pretending to care.

Tell us what you think about our proposed transportation improvements and how they should be funded.

Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

A group of residents dedicated to halting expansion of – and banning highway trucks on – 32 Avenue took their concerns to Metro Vancouver this week. The 32nd Avenue Alliance – which opposes the City of Surrey’s plans to widen the road into four lanes from 154 to 160 streets – presented their arguments to the region’s environment and energy committee July 12. The group said diesel exhaust from trucks that use the road is a health risk, and requested an environmental assessment be conducted of the air quality along the 32 Avenue corridor. The delegation took issue with trucks being “jammed through a narrow opening in the heart of our high density residential neighbourhoods where no setbacks are provided.” In their presentation, the group said trucks should instead use highways 10 and 15, which are “adequate and acceptable” highway truck routes with reasonable setbacks. “The best practice management guidelines of the Ministry of Environment for the Province of B.C. for busy roads like 32 Avenue is 150 metres,” the alliance states. “Surrey’s setbacks are 4.5 metres.” The environment and energy committee directed staff to contact the minister of environment to clarify on the environmental best management practices regarding setbacks in urban areas for heavy-duty truck routes.

The CTO program, in its third year, is co-ordinated by the province’s six regional destination marketing organizations which receive the funding from the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation. A total of $184,500 in tourism funding is available to Vancouver, coast and mountain communities, of which White Rock and Surrey are part. Past initiatives supported by the program include advertising, touristrelated signage and tourism brochures.

Architect says project would not set height precedent in city from page A1 The OCP amendments are needed to change the designations of two lots in the parcel from residential to commercial, which would increase the lots’ allowed height from 25 feet to 37 feet; the zoning amendment is to enable the proponents to build higher on the other legal lots than the 37 feet the existing commercial zoning allows. Sale of the property is dependent on approval of a viable development. White Rock Mufflers owner Richard Saunders told Peace Arch News the deal is set to close Aug. 22, but will go back to square one if conditions can’t be met. Residents have voiced concerns about the project’s height since January, when the concept of building on the site was first raised. Initially, the developer presented height scenarios of six, nine and 15 storeys. At an April public-information meeting, a concept plan for a six-storey, terraced project was showcased. After fielding public

It now stands at four storeys, with two-storey townhouses over commercial space along Marine Drive. While a July 11 city report notes a majority of those opposed to the first two concepts had indicated a preference for a three- or four-storey development, residents who turned out Monday said they don’t want anything that goes higher than what current regulations allow. “If they let this go, how can they say no to the next guy?” Vivian Westwood said prior to the meeting, citing the rise of towers in the

Scaling the project back to four storeys doesn’t change her view, she added. “The point remains, is they still want to change the Official Community Plan. That, to me, is the crucial point,” she said. “It leaves an open door for any other developer to come in and push higher. It’ll change White Rock forever.” Speaking for developer Robert Wilson – who declined to address the committee – architect Tim Ankenman told committee members the current proposal is “a very highly sensitive

solution” to the site. It is to include a variety of housing choices, along with sustainable features such as a green roof, an on-site composting program and a car-sharing program. “It would be unprecedented in terms of its livability,” he said. Ankenman disagreed the project would greatly impact residents’ views and disputed it would set a height precedent. “We believe we are conforming to the intent of the OCP,” he said. Ankenman noted door-to-door contact in the area indicated the project was well-supported. However, when a man in the gallery questioned who among the dozens of area residents in attendance had been approached, no one said they had. Sheila Quail, a member of the development team, told the committee she collected 88 letters of support. An effort to present the letters to the committee was ruled out of order.

The provincial government won’t soften its 10-month-old roadside administrative penalties for impaired driving, citing a 50-per-cent drop in drunkdriving deaths since the rules took effect. Nor will it embark on a public information campaign previously pledged to help revelers decide how much they can drink before they might exceed the lower blood-alcohol limit of 0.05 if caught behind the wheel. “Half the number of people have died on the roads as a result File photo of drunk driving based on the Roadside penalties for impaired driving will not be softened. statistics we see,” Premier Christy president Ian Tostenson said his 10 to 12 per cent from before Clark told reporters Monday. members now accept that the the change, possibly as patrons Preliminary numbers show 30 rules are here to stay. understand the rules and make deaths in alcohol-related crashes “When the theme of Families alternate arrangements for in the first seven months of the First came through from the transportation. new regulations, down from an premier, it was pretty obvious He said it’s also difficult to say average of 61 fatalities in the that no one in their right mind how much of the losses stem not same October-to-April period of was going to say families are from the drunk driving penalties the previous five years. important – and by the way, but from consumers’ reluctance Police credit the new we’re going to loosen up on the to spend due to the sluggish regulations – with the threat of economy or the imposition of the stiff fines and car impoundments impaired driving penalties,” he said. harmonized sales tax. – for the improved safety record.

Former Public Safety Minister Rich Coleman had promised a review of the new rules late last year after the bar and restaurant industry complained of lost business because patrons were drinking less. He had indicated that might lead to an appeal period where drivers caught by police could lodge challenges before the penalties are applied. But no such legislation was tabled this spring. B.C.

Kyle Hadwin wants to raise awareness about Crohn’s Disease, an inflammatory intestinal condition that his brother, golfer Adam Hadwin (below) recently raised $26,000 for. Adam Hadwin, 23, played in the U.S. Open last month, and pledged $100 to the charity for each birdie he made. He challenged others to do the same, and – after Hadwin made 14 birdies over the course of the week – the campaign raised about $26,000. “It exceeded my expectations,” Kyle Hadwin said. While he is looking into other ways to fundraise, he said his main focus is still to spread awareness about Crohn’s disease and ensure that others battling the condition know they are not alone. “As bad as you think you’ve got it, somebody else has the exact same thing.” Scheduled for release from hospital in

a couple weeks, Hadwin is now looking forward to his next chapter, which includes studying civil engineering at University of Saskatchewan in September 2012. “(I’ll) go to school for four years, get my degree – start my life.”

lifestyles Two youth environmental programs join forces for invasive plant removal

Partnership benefits Blackie Spit Hannah Sutherland

Manyana’s Atrium Restaurant located in the PaciÅc Inn Resort:

Staff Reporter

Blackie Spit was freed of invasive plants last weekend after a four-hour habitat restoration attracted dozens of people to the Crescent Beach park. The July 10 public event was co-hosted by Salmon Habitat Restoration Program (SHaRP) and Surrey’s Natural Areas Partnership (SNAP), who were assisted by about seven volunteers from the community. “Blackie Spit is a very common invasive site that we work from,” SHaRP spokesperson Jordon Davis said. “We usually do it every summer.” Using shovels and their hands, participants completely removed spartina, sweet clover and knapweed, before moving on to tansy. “Overall it was a successful day,” Davis said. “We got most of the invasives removed.” The removal is necessary because invasive plants inhibit native plants’ ability to grow and flourish, Davis added. Spartina (a cordgrass) forms massive stands that decrease habitat for shoreline birds, waterfowl, shellfish and fish, while sweet clover (a weedy plant) degrades native grasslands by outgrowing and shading native sun-loving species.

SHARP and SNaP teamed up to remove invasive plant species from Blackie Spit last weekend. “Invasive species are known to overcrowd native species and so with removing these invasive species, we’re able to increase plant diversity on the Spit,” Davis said. “Native plants are important to help inhabit wildlife as well as marine life.” Beach visitors can do their

part by being aware of invasive species, and by lending a hand during removal efforts, Davis added. Both SHaRP and SNAP host restoration events as part of their mandate to restore natural areas in Surrey and promote environmental stewardship and

sustainability. The youth environmental programs are part of the City of Surrey’s Nature Matters initiative, and employ post-secondary and high school students through the summer months. For more information, visit www.surrey.ca

Members of the Celtic group Blackthorn entertained the Clan Sinclair gathering in Coquitlam last month.

Sinclairs celebrate Dozens of people from across North America gathered in Coquitlam last month to celebrate a common bond – their last name. The Clan Sinclair Association of Canada – comprising people whose last name is Sinclair – held its quadrennial gathering June 24-26 for the first time ever in B.C. In addition to sharing the same surname, members of the association – who reside throughout Canada, the U.S., the UK, Australia and Malta – also have an interest in Sinclair his-

tory and Scottish genealogy, according to association president and South Surrey resident Jim Sinclair. The festivities included a traditional haggis dinner, and entertainment by White Rock’s Tam O’Shanters Dancers and Celtic band Blackthorn. In attendance, all the way from Scotland, was the international chief of Clan Sinclair, Sir Malcolm Sinclair, the Earl of Caithness. Anyone interested in learning more about the Sinclairs can visit www. clansinclaircanada.ca

lifestyles Fairmont Hotel guests pay with honey

Honeybees check in for a sweet deal Boaz Joseph

Black Press

n Wednesday, June 29, a large group of tiny guests arrived at their destination late, checking in at 11 p.m. at the Fairmont Vancouver Airport hotel. The entourage – 1,440,000 honeybees boxed in 36 colonies – was on a working holiday of sorts at the Sea Island Conservation Area in Richmond. It’s the second year that John Gibeau has brought his bees to the hotel, part of a threeyear agreement to provide the hotel’s kitchen with honey produced from the nectar of wildflowers in the area. In 2010, 24 colonies on the site produced about 2,200 lbs. of honey. For the last several years, Gibeau, owner of Cloverdale’s Honeybee Centre, has provided 10 colonies to the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel in Vancouver. This year, he also brought five colonies by ferry to the Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria. At YVR, the bees have been situated about 400 metres north of the hotel. The bee colonies at the two other Fairmont hotels are on the premises. As for last year’s sweet harvest, “it’s all gone,” says Gibeau, whose company jars the honey for the executive chefs at all three hotels. “They used it all up.” In downtown Vancouver, the 10 bee colonies are situated in the hotel’s third-floor

garden next to the swimming pool. At Victoria’s Empress, the five colonies are fenced off on the front lawn – sometimes visited by a groundhog, whose burrow lays between the boxes. Gibeau says the unique foliage around the sites makes for honeys with different colours, aromas and flavours – with the cultivated flowers in Victoria making for a spicier, more apple-flavoured honey. He says the wildflowers in Richmond and the cultivated plants in Vancouver for some reason make honeys that are similar to one another. The hotels are just a small portion of the beekeeping business for Gibeau, a former police officer and member of a family with several generations of farming in its history. While he says his staff enjoyed the idea of packing up the bees for Fairmont, most of his insects are trucked to different locations in the region to pollinate 11 food crops. Growers pay beekeepers to pollinate their crops. Gibeau memorizes the foods chronologically according to their four-week blooming positions during the growing season: Apples, blueberries, currants, strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, blackberries, kiwis (grown in Aldergrove), pumpkins, zucchini and squash. In the case of blueberries, it’s a $50-million industry to which Gibeau contributes 4,440

The rest he rents from Alberta beekeepers. The Honeybee Centre, located at the corner of 176 Street and Fraser Highway, is dedicated to bringing the benefits of the honeybee to people everywhere through

their beekeeping services, a country and online store, and a visitor and learning centre. Store hours are Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit www. honeybeecentre.com

WHITE ROCK PUMP STATION UPGRADES The SuperOxygenation system upgrades will soon commence at the White Rock Pump Station near Marine Drive and Oxford Street and construction will last for approximately one month. During this time a section of the sidewalk will be closed temporarily. There should be very little impact to the parking area. Once complete, the SuperOxygenation will mix pure oxygen with sewage to help reduce or eliminate odours. It will also reduce maintenance and repair costs, and eliminate the need to use additional chemicals to treat odour and corrosion. When complete, White Rock will have the first ever SuperOxygenation system in all of Canada!

news Worsening court congestion may set more accused free

Backlog puts cases at risk Jeff Nagel Black Press

More than half of all B.C. Provincial Court cases have been stuck in the system for at least a year and a growing number are at risk of being thrown out as a result. Those are among the findings of a new update to the B.C. Provincial Court’s Justice Delayed report, which originally warned of serious delays in the system last fall. The update shows there were 2,371 adult criminal cases before the courts for more than 18 months as of March 31 – a 16 per cent increase from 2,038 a year earlier. Criminal cases 12 to 18 months old climbed 18 per cent over the same period from 4,856 to 5,744. Together, the two categories make up just over half of the court’s entire caseload. Judges are bound by Supreme Court of Canada rulings on how long cases can drag on and trials are being quashed over unacceptable delays of as little as 14 months, depending on the cir-

The original report recommended B.C. move to restore the number of Provincial Court judges from 126.3 full-time equivalents (FTEs) in September 2010 to the 2005 level of 143.6. While a few new judges have been hired, others have retired, been promoted to B.C. Supreme Court or opted to cut their hours to part time. As a result, the number of judges is now 125.1 FTEs as of the end of June. The province passed a budget this spring requiring further cuts to court staffing.

The average delay across B.C. for a two-day criminal trial in March was 10.6 months, slightly worse than nine months earlier, although the stats show some improvement in the waits for child protection hearings, small claims trials and family law trials. But the numbers vary considerably depending on the court house. Surrey remains the worst for adult criminal cases, with a 16-month wait for a two-day trial.

Charities hope assessment reforms gaming grants

Gambling review ordered Jeff Nagel

Black Press

A review of how the province shares its gambling profits with community groups must restore slashed grants to former levels and curtail Victoria’s ability to interfere in the future, charity advocates say. The Community Gaming Grant Review, announced Monday by Premier Christy Clark, is to deliver a top-to-bottom assessment of the system and determine options to “create certainty and sustainability” for affected non-profit groups and charities. It will be headed by former Kwantlen University president Skip Triplett. Many groups were outraged in 2009 when the province cut grants to community groups from $156 million to $120 million a year. That was raised to $135 million this spring after Clark took office. Susan Marsden, president of the B.C. Association for Charitable Gaming, characterized the raid two years ago as an attack on non-profits, particularly those in arts and culture. “They decided they were going to cut out arts and culture entirely, cut environmental groups entirely, cut other groups by 50 per cent and give 100 per cent to their favourite charities,” she said.

Premier Christy Clark announced a gaming grant review this week. Rich Coleman, the former minister in charge of gaming, had defended the cuts as necessary to shore up B.C.’s budget amid a deepening global recession and said the reallocations were geared to protect youth groups at the expense of organizations serving adults. Marsden praised Clark for delivering on her pledge of a review and said the terms of reference are acceptable – except that Triplett won’t report until the end of October. “I don’t know if there will be any charities left to fund once they get around to putting anything into legislation, not to mention there may be an election in between.” More than two thirds of the

$1-billion a year in revenue that comes to the province from gambling goes into general revenue, with another $147 million dedicated to health funding, $82 million shared with cities that host casino and the rest is shared with community groups. The review is to collect input from charities, community members, industry reps and local government. “This review is not just about how much money we can share,” said Ida Chong, minister of community, sport and cultural development. “It’s about the process we use to decide together who should have access to this funding, what we can do with it and how we are accountable for it.”

Our goal is "Bringing Vision to Life", providing our patients with the highest quality care to enhance their unique lifestyles.

Stolen tractor flips dump truck Dan Ferguson Black Press

There were, witnesses said, five to seven young men riding the John Deere front-end loader down 24 Avenue early Sunday morning. The stereo in the cab of the 20-ton rig was blasting music over the sound of the 232-horsepower engine. The big tractor was stolen from a locked compound at Stokes Pit near the Langley-Surrey border

around 1 a.m. As it was making its way eastward down the 19900-block of 24 Avenue, the loader flipped over a Ford F350 pickup truck, leaving the smaller vehicle on its side. Shortly after that, the youths abandoned the loader and fled on foot. According to one unofficial account, the John Deere was brought to a halt by a local resident who jumped into the cab to stop it from hitting a gas station

and pub. The Air 1 police helicopter was called in, but neither it nor a police dog could locate the joyriders. The loader was recovered undamaged and returned to the owner. Police are asking anyone with information that might assist in identifying the suspects to call the Langley RCMP at 604-5323200 or if you prefer to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Gaps found in enviro reviews Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environmental assessment process is failing to properly oversee certified major projects or ensure that promised work to make up for damage to the environment is actually carried out. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the finding of B.C. Auditor General John Doyle, whose recently released audit plants a big red flag over monitoring work done by the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (EAO). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adequate monitoring is not occurring and follow-up evaluations are not being conducted,â&#x20AC;? Doyle said in the audit, adding that means the EAO canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t guarantee that requirements to mitigate damage are working. The audit includes a series of recommendations intended to strengthen the process. Environmental groups say the findings show the assessment process is simply a rubber stamp for industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been worried for a long time about the lack of environmental oversight in this province,â&#x20AC;? Sierra Club BC executive director George Heyman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This report confirms that the situation is worse than we suspected.â&#x20AC;?

NDP environment critic Rob Fleming called it a damning report that shows government cuts to monitoring and enforcement have left proponents self-reporting on their own work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Standards are utterly meaningless without monitoring and enforcement,â&#x20AC;? he said. The report also noted the EAO doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t formally track certified project conditions and commitments for compliance and lacks mechanisms for enforcement. Projects that are certified through a B.C. environmental assessment and now under construction include the new Port Mann Bridge and Highway 1 widening and the South Fraser Perimeter Road (SFPR), which opponents have repeatedly warned risks damage to wildlife habitat along the river and threatens Burns Bog. Both were required as conditions for approval to embark on major works to protect habitat and mitigate damage, including specific measures in the case of the SPFR to safeguard Burns Bog and ancient archaeological sites near the Fraser River.

She has died and I tried to sell the property but there is something called a CertiĂ&#x20AC;cate of Pending Litigation Ă&#x20AC;led against the property. I am stunned, as I need to sell the property to pay my bills.

Local artists are the focus of this year’s Sea Fest.

Black said this year’s sets will have better lighting and sound – thanks to local volunteers – and will span a wide range of genres, from jazz and blues to indie and folk. “What we’re trying to do is showcase local entertainment and we’re just trying to make a low-key family-orientated festival.” Black, a White Rock musician himself, said the sea fest is an ideal opportunity to highlight some of the younger talents looking for exposure rather than present established artists from out of town. “Why would I bring in some people see page A34

Surrey Little Theatre’s Unusual Suspects – about students’ revenge on their principal – runs until July 23.

Students star in Suspects They might not appear to have much in common. But four high school students at the centre of Surrey Little Theatre’s ongoing youth production do share one similarity: they all despise their school principal. Unusual Suspects, which began Wednesday, follows the quartet of teens as they attempt to get

revenge on Principal Piddles, the angry man who has haunted their high school years. Loryn Gear, who’s usually seen on the stage, is at the helm of the show. “The cast and crew have been terrific and I would certainly do it again,” says the first-time director.

The action-packed comedy runs Wednesday to Saturday, until July 23, with evening shows at 8 p.m. and Saturday matinées at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 (half-price tonight, July 14). Call 604-5768451 or email reservations@surreylittletheatre.com – Black Press

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Tour de White Rock kicks off Friday

Amateur riders get ready for hill climb Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

His whole life, Jamie Boyd has always been competitive, no matter the pursuit. So it comes as no surprise that the longtime cyclist was among the first to sign up for the Tour de White Rock’s Just Giver Amateur Hill Climb, which is set to debut Friday night. “I always want to catch the guy ahead of me – that’s in anything, not just cycling. That’s

just how I am,” said the 38-year-old Boyd, climb following at 7 p.m. who works in the City of White Boyd, who has rode mountain, ❝I always want to road or dirtbikes since he was Rock’s parks department. On Friday, Boyd will be among catch the guy ahead in elementary school – he even a handful of recreational rid- of me… That’s just has the Fox Racing logo tattooed ers who plunked down $20 to on his arm – chose to give road how I am.❞ compete in the hill climb, which cycling a try a few years ago, even will see cyclists slog 700 metres entering a few races in the Lower Jamie Boyd cyclist up Buena Vista Avenue – from Mainland. Oxford Street to Martin. The “Back then, I could never keep event begins at 5:30 p.m., with the pro hill up with the peleton though,” he explained.

But he’s better prepared for Friday’s climb, however, having pedalled up the Buena Vista course “about 15 or 20 times.” “The first time, I couldn’t even finish it,” Boyd said. “I can do it now, but I still wouldn’t say I have the hang of it – it’s still a big challenge. “Your legs start to hurt, but it’s just like doing the Grouse Grind or something like that – you just tell your legs to be quiet, and see page A41

Venezuelan infielder returns

Canada wins 1-0

Reuniting with some old friends

Japan edged Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Rick Kupchuk Black Press

It’s not quite home, but for Venezuelan infielder Yuruby Alicart, playing in the Scotiabank Canadian Open fastpitch tournament at Softball City is the most comfortable stop of the season. “I like it a lot,” said Alicart, after playing second base in an 8-0 loss by the Venezuelan national team to the United States Sunday afternoon at Softball City. “I see teammates I went to school with, teammates from Vancouver. It’s good to see them here, and it’s good to come back every year.” Alicart’s first trip to Surrey was as a 14-yearold 11 years ago. She stayed for five months, training at the West Coast Softball Academy in Surrey and playing exhibition games in the Surrey Storm, Delta Yuraby Alicart Heat and White Rock Team Venezuela Renegades programs. At the time, she was already a national team member, although playing in Olympic Summer Games and World Championship tournaments were at the time only a dream. But over the past decade, she has realized those dreams, and has been a huge part of the rise of Venezuela in international softball. Not ranked among the top eight teams in the world 10 years ago, the nation qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China. And at the 2010 World Championship tournament, hosted by Venezuela, they placed fifth. But there’s still more to accomplish, said the now 25-year-old Alicart. “We’re preparing for the Pan-American Games (Oct. 14-30 in Mexico),” she said. “I just want to get my timing and rhythm playing against good teams like the US, Australia and Canada. And also have fun.” And does having fun include hooking up with old friends? “I’m trying,” she laughed. “I’m talking to people, and maybe we can do some shopping. Or just hang out.”

Out at third

South Surrey/White Rock Thunder ‘93 infielder Tiana Greenough makes a catch for an out as Richmond Islanders ‘92 baserunner Jenessa Murao slides back into third base during a Canadian Open Futures Selects division game Saturday at Softball City.

Team Canada is doing its best to make sure spectators at the Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship get their money’s worth. After three exciting weekend games – one big win, one close loss, and one thrilling victory over powerhouse Australia – Canada played two more nail-biters earlier in the week, losing 3-1 in eight innings to the world champion United States Monday, followed by a thrilling 1-0 win over previously undefeated Japan Tuesday at Softball City. Canada had previously lost to Japan 2-0 on Sunday morning. The loss was the second of the day for Japan (4-2), knocking them into second place in the women’s division, behind the U.S. (5-1). Canada sits third with a 3-2 mark. Playoff rounds begin tomorrow (Friday) and the tournament wraps up Sunday. On Tuesday, Canada and Japan – the best defensive team in the tournament, through the first half the round-robin schedule – played each other to a 0-0 standstill until the top of the seventh inning, when Canadian catcher Kaleigh Rafter singled, and Shelby Lia, pinchrunning for the veteran Rafter, was brought around to score from second base on a two-out Megan Baird single. In the bottom of the inning, Canadian pitcher Sarah Phillips – who pitched the last three innings in relief of starter Jenna Caira – allowed just one hit to Yukiko Ueno, and though she eventually advanced to third base, was stranded there when Phillips struck up Maki Furuta for the final out. Against Japan Monday, see page A42

White Rock wins district games host team followed that victory with an even more convincing performance – a 10-0 win over Coquitlam, in a game that was called after four innings on account of the mercy rule. White Rock’s third game of the District 3 showdown was played Wednesday evening against Whalley, but results

were not available by press deadline. The district tournament is the first step towards a potential berth in the prestigious Little League World Series, which is held annually in Williamsport, Penn. every August. The winner of this week’s tournament advances to pro-

vincials, and from there, the B.C. champion will move on to nationals. The national champion then represents Canada at the World Series. White Rock’s 11/12-year-old all-stars have twice advanced to Williamsport, in 2007 and 2008. - Nick Greenizan

Cyclists negotiate a turn during the Tour de Delta last weekend. The Tour de White Rock begins Friday.

White Rock road race set for Sunday from page A39 try to finish it.” After Friday’s hill climb, Tour de White Rock competitors will head to uptown White Rock for the criterium, a one-km loop that passes by Five Corners, White Rock Elementary and city hall. The men’s category 3/4 riders race at 4 p.m., followed by the women’s pro division at 5 p.m. and the men’s pro race at 6 p.m. The Peace Arch News Road Race caps off race weekend Sunday morning, with the grueling endurance race set to begin at 9 a.m. on Marine Drive. The men’s course is 130 km – 11 long laps of 10-km each, followed by five laps on the shorter course – while the women’s race is 80 km, all on the long course. The Tour de White Rock is part of B.C. Superweek, which began last weekend with the Tour de Delta. Sunday’s Delta road race was won by American cyclist Brad Huff, who edged fellow American criterium champion Daniel Halloway in a two-man sprint to the finish line. Huff, riding for Jelly Belly Pro Cycling, and Halloway of Kelly Benefit Strategies Omtum-Health, were part of five-rider breakaway group as the field came across the line after four and a half laps of a smaller circuit in North Delta and 10 laps around a longer 8.8-km circuit in Tsawwassen. Andrew Pinfold – a Superweek veteran and three-time Delta

road-race champion – was third. Pinfold also finished second in the Delta criterium to win the overall Omnium title.

The women’s road race winner was 19-year-old Jasmine Glaesser, who was also second in the criterium. The UBC Grand Prix

– a new addition to Superweek – was staged Tuesday in Vancouver, and the Giro di Burnaby hits the streets tonight (Thursday).

Playoff rounds begin on Friday from page A39 Canada took an early lead in the bottom of the second inning, when Jill Russell got on base with a one-out single, then scored on a double from Danielle Lopez with two outs. The Americans pulled even two innings later on a lead-off home run from Valerie Arioto. In the top of the eighth inning, the U.S.A. had one runner on base at the start of the inning under the international tiebreaker rule, and added a second on an intentional walk. Molly Johnson then smacked the gamewinning hit, a double which scored both baserunners. Keilani Ricketts struck out three Canadian batters in the bottom of the eighth to end the game. Canada played Venezuela Wednesday night after Peace Arch News deadline, and tonight (Thursday) they play back-to-back games against Australia and the U.S. to finish

Also working in favour of the Langley bid was Hockey Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existing healthy relationship with the BCHL. The league, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this season, approached the LEC about submitting

a bid. With the tournament having been in the interior previously (Trail/ Nelson in 2007 and Penticton in 2010), they wanted it in a Lower Mainland market this time, Harman said.

A new facility, great location and strong business plan were all key elements in helping Langley land an international hockey championship. Hockey Canada, in partnership with the Canadian Junior Hockey League, B.C. Hockey League and B.C. Hockey announced that the World Junior A Hockey Challenge will be played at the Langley Events Centre. The tournament, which features two Canadian teams â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Canada West and Canada East â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the United States, Sweden, Russia and the Czech Republic, is set for Nov. 7-13. The United States have won the past three gold medals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a tremendous opportunity for hockey fans in our community to watch Team Canada compete for gold in their own backyard,â&#x20AC;? said Jared Harman,

the LECâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of facilities, who is also the co-chair of the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s host committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The event had been on our radar, it is a great event,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We identified that it might be a good fit.â&#x20AC;? Five communities expressed letters of interest to host the 2011 event and three submitted bids back in February. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One thing that really stood out with Langley is its venue,â&#x20AC;? said Dean McIntosh, Hockey Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of marketing and events. McIntosh, along with Hockey Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jim Hornell, and Canadian Junior Hockey League chairman Kirk Lamb, were on the threeperson selection committee who made the final decision. Another factor in the decision was Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s central location in the Lower Mainland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the goals we have ... is to provide the opportunity for NHL scouts, Central

HAPPY THOUGHTS

Happy 50th Anniversary George & Pat Watson

Passed away peacefully July 8, 2011 at the age of 96 in Surrey, B.C She was predeceased by her husband Ben Knowles, her parents and her 14 brothers and sisters. She was the last of her generation of Moens. She will be sadly missed by her many nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. Margaret grew up in the community of Bardo, Alberta. She finished school and went on to Edmonton to extend her education. She later followed her family to B.C. and worked in Vancouver. She married Ben Knowles and after his death moved to Arizona and California for 5 years before returning to Vancouver. She worked as a private secretary for many years before retiring to White Rock, B.C. Margaret was a very fashionable lady who loved beautiful clothes, interior design, traveling and gardening. Thank you to the Staff of Laurel Place in Surrey, B.C. for their wonderful care. Flowers gratefully declined. A private celebration of her life will be held at a later date.

TERRY, Annie May (nee Shaw) 82, passed away peacefully with her family by her side at Weatherby Pavilion, White Rock, B.C. July 8, 2011. Loving Mum to Paul (Deb), Eliot (Vivian) Denyse, Jane (Dan) and Mummy Terry to Michelle (Marc). Nana to Jennifer, (Chris) Lindsay, Ryan, Sarah, Alex, Rae-Anne, Travis, Jacob, William, Brendan, Olivia and great granddaughter Ella. May was born June 10, 1929 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. During her younger years, May enjoyed cycling and was an accomplished seamstress before immigrating to Canada in 1957. She raised her family while residing in Quebec and Ontario including a short time in Washington State before returning to Ottawa. While in Ottawa, May took pride in her service for the Parliamentary Restaurant and enjoyed her rapport with many Members of Parliament. One of her fondest memories was serving Pierre Eliot Trudeau. May moved west to Prince George, British Columbia in 1996 and White Rock in 2009. She loved the beauty of the mountains, ocean, forests and wildlife. May will be remembered for her Irish charm, sense of humour, empathy for other people as well as her enthusiasm to learn about other cultures. The family would like to thank the staff at Weatherby 2 for their warm and professional care during her stay and for the support given to the families throughout their time of grief. Memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation.

New challenge for amateurs at this year’s Tour A

s some of the world’s best cyclists roll into town for this weekend’s Tour de White Rock, there will be a chance for amateurs to show what they’re made of with a brand new race this year. The Just Giver Amateur Hill Climb is set for 5:30 p.m. Friday – just before the pros compete in the hill climb – and offers amateurs a shot at tackling the same grueling, 700-metre hill on Buena Vista Avenue the professionals compete on. Kelly Jablonski, a cyclist who founded the Just Giver for Parkinson’s Disease Cycling Club, said the idea was brought up by a club member who is a part of the Tour de White Rock organizing committee, and thought the amateur event would be not only a great competition, but a way to raise awareness about Parkinson’s disease. “This is a chance for an amateur to be involved in the Tour de White Rock for the first time ever,” Jablonski said. “Then they can sit back and watch the pros do the same race.” The amateur hill climb will run the same way as the pro hill climb, with timed heats of four riders each, with the best time overall taking top prize. The Just Giver for Parkinson’s Disease Cycling Club – which has about 40 members – will be on hand distributing information and raising awareness about the disease.

THE TOUR DE WHITE ROCK PRESENTS:

FROM AN EXPERT TOUR DE WHITE ROCK IS HERE! by Kevin Woodley, Managing Partner, InGoal Magazine

White Rock’s biggest weekend of bike racing is here, and if you’ve been following our experts’ advice in this space the last few months, you should be ready to power up the monstrous 700-meter hill known as Buena Vista for bragging rights and personal pride in the ﬁrst ever Just Giver Amateur Hill Climb. But even if you’re not quite up for that brave ascent, come out and watch the 32nd running of the Tour de White Rock. It’s a chance to watch some of the best professional cyclists this side of the Tour de France going all out at the end of your driveway – ﬁrst busting a gut up Buena Vista Friday in the Homelife Hillclimb, and then chasing each other at speeds up to 70 kilometers-an-hour at Saturday’s Choices Market Criterium (think of it as NASCAR on two wheels). They wrap up with this historic – and historically grueling – 130-kilometer Peace Arch Road Race (80 kilometers for the women), a test that long used to identify and separate the world’s best, including at Canada’s preOlympic camp in 1992. Speaking of the Games, this weekend’s Tour de White Rock will once again be a chance to watch Canada’s future Olympians. It’s part of a legacy that

includes Langley’s Svein Tuft, who rode for Canada in Beijing in 2008 and is a medal contender in 2012, getting into his first professional breakaway against silver medalist Brian Walton years ago, then moving up to become the rider other locals tested themselves against in recent years. Many now race all over the world, returning to give other locals a chance to compete against the best. It’s how Whistler’s Will Routley got started. Now he returns from his first spring racing in Europe as part of SpiderTech, a team founded by Canadian cycling legend Steve Bauer with the goal of one day (soon) competing at the Tour de France. When SpiderTech swept the recent National Road Race Championships – Tuft was first, Routley second, and Zach Bell third – all three had roots in the Tour de White Rock. This weekend provides a chance to see one of them up close and in person (Tuft and Bell, who raced last year, are away at Olympic altitude training camps), and see if you can figure out who the next local cyclist to follow them to Europe might be. Who knows, they might just inspire you to Giver at the Amateur Hill Climb next summer. Tour de White Rock presented by

Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver reports 9.8 per cent increase

Home sales continue to rise Homes sales in Greater Vancouver are still increasing, according to a report by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. Residential property sales increased by 9.8 per cent in June, reaching 3,262 compared to 2,972 in June 2010. New listings on the Multiple Listing Service also rose, to 5,793 from 5,544 a year ago. This represents a 4.5 per cent increase. This is good news for buyers, as the increase in listings has made the market more balanced. “With sales below the 10-year average and home listings above what’s typical for the month, activity in June brought closer alignment between supply and demand in our marketplace,” says REBGV President Rosario Setticasi. “With a sales-to-active listings ratio

of nearly 22 per cent, it looks like we’re in the upper end of a balanced market.” The benchmark price on the MLSLink Housing Price Index has increased over the last 12 months by 8.7 per cent to $630,921 in June from $580,237 last year. “The largest price increases continue to be in the detached home market on the west side of Vancouver and in West Vancouver,” Setticasi says. “Since the end of May, the benchmark price of a detached home rose more than $147,000 on the west side of Vancouver and over $80,000 in West Vancouver.” The benchmark price of an apartment increased 3.5 per cent in June to $405,200, and attached property sales reached a benchmark price of $522,424, an increase of six per cent.

‘There hasn’t been an offering like this in a long time’

Edgewater a private paradise in Surrey by Kerry Vital

Your car purrs through the gated entryway, past the concierge house, and continues into a lushly landscaped courtyard. You pull into your underground parking space, and shut off the engine. All you hear is birdsong and the burbling of a creek. Welcome to your new home at Edgewater in South Surrey. Situated off a quiet cul-de-sac, Edgewater is the latest project from Barber Creek Development, and homes are selling quickly. “It’s like an exclusive private enclave,” says Cristy Edmonds, vice-president of sales and marketing for Fifth Avenue Marketing. “There hasn’t been an offering like this in a long time.” Bordered by the Nicomekl River and Barber Creek, Edgewater lives up to its name. Edmonds says that 80 per cent of the 14-acre property is park land and green space, making it the perfect place to unwind. Part of the appeal of the development is the large balconies or patios that are standard in every condominium suite so you will always have a beautiful view and space to relax with a morning cup of coffee. If you’re looking for somewhere else to unwind, homeowners at Edgewater have the use of an outdoor rooftop pool on the top of the development’s amenities building, called the Outlook. Inside, residences are given access to a fitness centre and yoga studio, entertainment room with a lounge and billiards tables, or a chef ’s kitchen and

You don’t have to give up entertaining,” says Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for Fifth Avenue Marketing Cristy Edmonds. private dining lounge. The building also includes a fully equipped media room and workshop. Even Fido will be at home in Edgewater, with its dog wash area and plenty of room to play outside. The development is made up of five three-storey wood frame buildings, each holding a variety of one- and twobedroom homes ranging from 680 to 1,058 square feet in the first phase. A big concern for people looking to downsize is the smaller space, and what it means for your social life. “You don’t have to give up entertaining,” says Edmonds, because there is plenty of space for dinner

parties, movie nights or just coffee with a friend. Each home includes a gourmet kitchen with no shortage of special touches. Among them are amazing floor-to-ceiling wood shakerstyle cabinets in a choice of white oak or dark maple, which are perfectly complemented by natural granite or quartz stone countertops with a matching tile backsplash. Buyers at Edgewater can expect a lifestyle filled with comfort and warmth. Tile flooring in the ensuite is heated to keep your feet warm on those cold Lower Mainland mornings, and nine-foot ceilings make the entire place feel open and airy, even on a rainy day. Bathrooms are made for pampering,

with walk-showers or a luxurious tub and separate shower combination in the ensuite, and natural marble countertops. Full-width bevelled mirrors are included, surrounded by stylish pot lights or pendant lamps to put everyone in the best light. In the living area, laminate hardwood flooring is available in your choice of two colours. An electric fireplace lends a soft glow to the room, surrounded by limestone tile and a hand-crafted wood mantle that adds a touch of elegance to an already beautiful room. Homes at Edgewater start at $199,900. For more information visit www.edgewaterliving.com or call 604-535-9655.

Samuel and Evelyn Taetz, recent buyers at Edgewater, are looking forward to moving into their new place, which like all Edgewater homes will feature laminate hardwood ﬂooring in the living area, left, and a master bedroom, top, perfect for a lazy Sunday morning.
