Legacy fund to continue volunteer work of publisher Linda Klitch

Our community loses a champion Lance Peverley Editor

File photo

Linda Klitch’s legacy continues.

The Semiahmoo Peninsula lost one of its brightest stars Monday evening, with the sudden death of Peace Arch News publisher Linda Klitch. Klitch – who for many was the driving force behind the White Rock South Surrey Community Foundation – suffered complications from surgery for a benign tumour on her pancreas last month. Since becoming Peace Arch News publisher

in 2000, Klitch’s involvement with the foundation, the South Surrey White Rock Chamber of Commerce, Peace Arch News Vintage Affair and the Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation are only a small part of her support for members of our community. Now, her work will live on, with the establishment of the Linda Klitch Legacy Fund, set up by the foundation Tuesday to continue Klitch’s efforts to improve the quality of life for residents. Born and raised in Prince Albert, Sask., Linda

Louise Mary Zurowski made a name for herself opening and operating fashion boutiques. She later moved to Kamloops, B.C., and began a career in advertising sales that would evolve into being named ad manager – and eventual publisher – of Kamloops This Week. In her 11 years on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, Klitch, 60, amassed many supporters here. Most recently, she was awarded this year’s Paul Harris Fellowship by members of the Semiahmoo Rotary Club of White Rock in June. see page 4

Media not all notified

Arrest ends Amber Alert Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A 35-year-old man is in custody following an alleged parental abduction in South Surrey Tuesday night. The suspect was arrested near 156 Street and King George Boulevard around 11:30 p.m., nearly two hours after an Amber Alert was issued for a four-yearold boy. Police say they were first alerted to the situation around 8 p.m., when they were called to the 1500block of King George Boulevard. Upon arrival, officers determined there had been a dispute, an alleged assault of a woman and the alleged abduction of her child. Police say they issued an Amber Alert around 9:40 p.m., however, not all media – including Peace Arch News – received it, a situation Sgt. Peter Thiessen said was likely related to the process of “cycling through” the alert. The Amber Alert was deactivated after the boy was found in a car that had been spotted southbound on King George Boulevard. While the original alert reportedly identified the abduction suspect as the boy’s father, Thiessen would not confirm whether that is who was arrested. see page 4

Shari Tompe braces for a $20,000 hit to her business this October, as teacher job action impacts field-trip bookings to her family’s pumpkin patch.

School district wary of putting more pressure on administrators

Job action squashes pumpkin business Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Surveying the estimated 40,000 pumpkins that fill two fields on her family’s 20-acre South Surrey farm, Shari Tompe drinks in the abundance that’s grown with the help of July’s largely soggy weather. “This is by far our best crop ever,” she says.

“It’s a shame…” Every October, Tompe and her husband, Chris, welcome thousands of people – most of them young students on school field trips – to their Hazelmere Pumpkin Patch on 20 Avenue. This year has been no different from the past 10 in terms of preparing for the 31 days that start this Saturday. But Tompe said teacher job

action that greeted students as they returned to school could translate into a disastrous month of business for her family. As part of strike action, teachers across B.C. are boycotting administrative duties, including writing report cards, collecting fees and sending home field-trip permission slips. see page 4

Gearing up for civic vote I

far, no challenger has emerged to take on first-term mayor Catherine Ferguson, but there will almost certainly be one. Former city manager Wayne Baldwin, who has been retired for five years, is running for council and is issuing a host of opinions on issues like staff salaries and White Rock’s ability to remain independent. If elected, he would bring a wealth of knowledge to the council table – and also some stronglyheld opinions. He is running with – or at least alongside – former councillor Cliff Annable and Brad Forster, husband of former mayor Judy Forster, after the trio retracted their Team White Rock slate announcement this summer. It is not certain if the majority of council members, who were elected in 2008 under the Citizens for Positive Renewal banner, are planning to run as a group again. Nominations close on Friday, Oct. 14. At that time, we will have a better idea of how much energy and excitement to expect in each municipal campaign. At the moment, it looks like the Delta election will be the most exciting local race. ••• On a very sad note, Peace Arch News publisher Linda Klitch passed away this week. She has been a very positive force in so many aspects of community life in South Surrey and White Rock. All of us associated with the Peace Arch News have enjoyed working with her. She will be greatly missed. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

Surrey to clamp down on rundown rental housing Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Judy Villeneuve

The City of Surrey is working on a standards of maintenance bylaw that could see a crackdown on buildings that are not kept in good living condition. The issue is currently before the city’s social planning committee, chaired by Coun. Judy Villeneuve.

Villeneuve said last week that the issue of rundown rentals came up in the spring and the committee has been working on it since. The committee will be meeting with tenancy groups next month to make sure there will be no overlap in responsibilities. The committee is also reviewing similar bylaws in other municipalities to see

what works and what doesn’t. Villeneuve said there will likely be a fine attached to non-compliance with the bylaw. She noted the proposed legislation would help address the ongoing bedbug problem at North Surrey’s Ted Kuhn Towers, which is infested with the parasites. Villeneuve said there’s a growing prob-

lem regionally with bedbugs, which are also prevalent in some of downtown Vancouver’s better hotels. Villeneuve said the legislation should be ready for council’s adoption in December or January. She said in the meantime, Surrey will work with BC Housing to help eliminate the bedbug problem at Ted Kuhn Towers.

news notes editorial@peacearchnews.com

Woman killed A young woman has been murdered in North Surrey. She was found by emergency responders at the top level of the Central City tower parkade around 1 a.m. Wednesday. A shots fired call had come into police around that time. “What we do know for sure is we’re dealing with a homicide,” said Sgt. Peter Thiessen. No further details were available at Peace Arch News press time Wednesday. For the latest information, visit peacearchnews.com

Missing fees sought Police have been asked to investigate after Surrey Ultimate League members discovered the group’s summer field rental fees remain unpaid. According to a Sept. 23 email sent to league members, the board learned last month that the fees hadn’t been paid to the City of Surrey. Police were contacted after board members were unable to reach the person who had been tasked with paying the fees from members’ contributions. The Surrey Ultimate League – in which participants use a flying disc to play a high-energy, non-contact team sport – formed three years ago. Games are played on a drop-in basis through the colder months; team/tournament play takes place at the South Surrey Athletic Park in the summer.

Discussing design

Ron and Sandy Powell look over conceptual designs for White Rock’s town centre Tuesday at the White Rock Community Centre. The Powells were disappointed to find a Buy-Low Foods store was not in the plans, which are to be presented to council Monday.

Coun. Lynne Sinclair commended the effort. “I’m very pleased to see we’re going to engage employees,” she said. Mayor Catherine Ferguson agreed, noting to not do so would risk discontent and a decline in productivity.

from page 1 Presenter Stewart Peddemors, in announcing Klitch’s award, spoke of their first encounter shortly after she was named publisher. “I first met this red-haired fireball who had just rolled into town on a warm spring night,” Peddemors said. “No sooner had I met this person, taking over one of our great community institutions, the Peace Arch News, than I began to get cross-examined about the community and how to become involved. “It did not take long to understand this striking new addition to our community was a champion, and that we had won the lottery.” Minutes after learning of Klitch’s passing, White Rock Mayor Catherine Ferguson called PAN to offer condolences. “What a loss. What an incred-

In lieu of flowers, her family requests donations be made to the Linda Klitch Legacy Fund, care of the WRSSCF (email info@ wrsscf.org or call Debbie Magson at 778-292-1367). As well, one of Klitch’s last wishes was to encourage her many friends – whom she cherished – to donate blood.

Job action not meant to stop trips Dr. Ali Salari from page 1 Tompe said in past years, she has booked about 400 children per day for the October visits, in which students participate in a wagon ride, navigate a corn maze and take home a pumpkin. This year, she said she’s lucky if she books 50 students a day. And, she’s fielding cancellations. Those who are backing out are citing the strike, Tompe said. “People who have booked and are now cancelling say it is the job action. They’re not allowed to physically take money from parents or give permission slips out.” According to the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, the job action has not been designed to prevent field trips, and all of the teacher functions that have been withdrawn have been approved by the Labour Relations Board. However, Surrey school district spokesman Doug Strachan confirmed field trips are among casu-

alties. While there has been no decision at the district level prohibiting them, whether they go ahead depends largely on whether teachers choose to get involved and to what degree, he said. Principals and vice-principals are already taking on the majority of administrative work usually done by teachers, he added. Tacking on field trips is “really difficult to ask” of them, he said. Strachan noted the issue of facilitating field trips is one that district officials have specifically asked to meet with union representatives about. BCTF president Susan Lambert told Peace Arch News Wednesday the point of the job action is to put pressure on administrators. “Field trips are absolutely fine,” Lambert said. “It’s unfortunate that they’re not going on.” Lambert said those feeling the pressure should be taking it “up the line and onto Minister

(George) Abbott and to Treasury Board to come to a deal on this collective agreement.” Strachan said he was not surprised impact of the job action has reached beyond the classroom. “The longer it goes, the more it’s likely to have that effect,” he said. Tompe estimates the hit to her business could be about $20,000. With just days to go before the pumpkin patch opens to the public, student numbers are at about 2,000 – a decrease of 50 per cent. “Overall, it’s a quarter of our (farming) business… which is a big hit,” Tompe said. “It’s looking like it could be one of those really devastating years.” She’s keeping her fingers crossed that weekend weather will cooperate throughout the month, so as not to compound the problem. When it rains, members of the public typically shy away from the pumpkin patch – business they can’t afford to lose.

Wednesday that the Amber Alert was cancelled, but not notified of the original alert (PAN’s office is located just four blocks from where the suspect was arrested and approximately 3½ kilometres from where the boy was taken), Thiessen explained that if a news outlet

hadn’t received the alert before it was cancelled, it likely wouldn’t receive it at all. “While it’s cycling through, we cancelled it,” said. “It’s quite a process to get it cycled through.” The incident was the 11th Amber Alert since the program launched in B.C. in 2004.

Residents frustrated by Let’s Get Sewing! lack of mailbox security news

ProD4

Staff Reporter

Residents of a quiet South Surrey neighbourhood are frustrated by repeated break-ins to two super-mailboxes that serve their subdivision. But the issue isn’t confined to the loss, damage or violation of privacy that each incident brings. It’s compounded by word from Canada Post that there’s little more that can be done to prevent the incidents from recurring. “I expressed that we were under the impression there’s a stronger box available, but he told me no,” said Sandi Moffatt, of a recent conversation she had with a Canada Post employee. “I said, ‘our mail is totally unsafe in these boxes,’ and he said, ‘we’re not responsible for crime.’” Canada Post spokesman John Caines told Peace Arch News the corporation takes every step possible to ensure secure mail delivery, but if a thief is determined, little will stop them. “Nothing is impregnable, unfortunately – your car, your house and mailbox,” Caines said. “If people want to get in there, they can.” Moffatt and her husband, Dave, have lived in the 93-home Coun-

Dave Moffatt is frustrated by repeated break-ins to mailboxes in his subdivision. try Woods subdivision for 11 years. The most recent mailbox break-in occurred early September, when someone used a pry bar to wrench off one side of a superbox in the 2700-block of Country Woods Drive, exposing mail belonging to residents of 15 nearby homes. A similar break-in to a box on 29 Avenue, east of Country Woods Drive, occurred the week before, Moffatt said. It’s a scenario that has played out numerous times over the years. Once, police called the Moffatts to let them know some

of their mail had been recovered in Abbotsford. “They keep coming back,” Moffatt said, of thieves. Solutions suggested by members of the Country Woods Residents’ Association have included switching to door-to-door delivery; using mailboxes without a common door, to reduce the impact of each hit; and installing a more secure mailbox. But while response to fix the damage has been fairly quick, residents have had less luck when it comes to steps that will reduce their odds of being targeted. Caines said Canada Post has taken “great steps” to secure the boxes, particularly in B.C., which has been identified as a high-risk area. High-security locks and pry bars have been installed within the past year, he said, and further measures will be implemented if and when they become available, he said. Caines said the best defence against mail theft is to ensure mail is picked up as soon after delivery as possible. Anyone noticing anything suspicious should report it immediately, he added. Canada Post may be notified by calling 1-800-267-1177.

opinion Peace Arch News Published at White Rock by Black Press Ltd.

editorial

A legacy of caring t was so characteristic of publisher Linda Klitch that one of her last wishes – expressed to family, friends and Peace Arch News colleagues – was that everyone should become active blood donors. Such a call to action – amplified prior to her death Monday as she feared she was using up too much of the province’s precious stock – is not surprising to those who had come to know her well over the years. Her response to the stresses and crises we all face in everyday life was always pro-active and practical. “What can we do?” she would ask of the people who worked with her, whether it was a matter of putting out a newspaper or helping raise funds for one of her many worthy causes in the community. “What should we be doing?” Klitch was not one to leap without looking. She would consider options carefully, but when a decision had to be made, she would back it up with unswerving, unstinting support. If people needed help, or just a kind word, she would find a way and make the time to do it. From the time she first came to the Semiahmoo Peninsula, it was clear her word was a bond and that she was the most valuable of all allies – a reliable one. But Klitch would be the first to say she was only one of many committed to making a meaningful difference in the community. She would insist that others have done more. Her admiration for those who help others, whether through their day-to-day work, volunteerism or spare-time efforts, was manifest in the recognition they were given in our pages. To those who mourn her now, she would say there is plenty of work still to be done and good people who need our help. And the best way to remember her is to honour the traditions of hard work and selflessness that she believed in. Just as Klitch recognized that our work in this life is about more than business, we should seize the opportunity to volunteer, to donate, to create and participate. There are many ways we can help, many organizations, service clubs and charities devoted to the well-being of our citizens. We should each, in our own way, become involved in building our own community, to strive to find ways to contribute rather than simply consume. The kind of caring and conscientiousness that characterized Linda Klitch should be her true legacy to the community she called home.

Then in 1997, 15 years into his life sentence, Olson appeared in a Surrey courtroom, asking for early parole, under the “faint hope” clause. For several days, the court heard victim impact statements from families forced to relive the horror all over again. He was denied parole, but under the clause, which allowed those serving a life sentence to apply for early parole, Olson could apply again. Eventually, an amendment to the law excluded serial killers, but Olson was back before the courts in 2006, again applying for parole under another clause which allowed convicted killers who had served 25 years to seek release. Olson hadn’t finished laughing at the joke we call a justice system. It was recently discovered that he – along with other prisoners – was receiving in trust $1,170 a month in federal pension benefits while behind bars. And of course, that’s not the only financial outrage of this evil legacy. There is the cost to taxpayers to keep him in a cell. According to recent government reports, the annual cost of keeping a male inmate in prison rose to nearly $110,000 in 2009. Olson has been in prison for 30 years. Even if incarceration expenses were half of present figures in the 1980s, it will have cost in the range of $2 million to keep this monster behind bars. A few dollars worth of stout rope back in 1982 would have saved so much money, and so much pain. Andrew Holota is editor of the Abbotsford News.

Editor: Our home was built in 2007, and every summer for the past four years we have been plagued with lottery homes. To date there have been seven lottery homes in a four-year period on our street. Our 146 Street subdivision, which ends with a dead end, has only approximately 15 homes on it. Typically what’s been happening is, when the winner is selected, they have the choice of taking the money or the house. More often they take the money, so the lottery corporation will then re-advertise the same house the next year, resulting in most of the lottery homes on our street being used twice. The increased traffic on our street each summer results in broken sprinkler heads and breaking-andentering into vehicles. I have no evidence that this is from anyone viewing the lottery homes but, oddly, these occurrences always coincide when the lottery homes are in progress. For safety reasons, we cannot allow our kids to play in the front of our house during the summer months. The current lottery home this year is the WinFall lottery, which runs for approximately three months. It is with regret that I am informing you of this, because I do support the idea of fundraising and use of lottery homes, but enough is enough. Like my neighbours, I feel if something isn’t done, then every summer we will endure lottery mania on our street and we will never have a peaceful summer. Terry Kuehne, Surrey

Editor: The execution of Troy Davis in Georgia last week is a morality play, an act that cannot be undone. The death penalty is simply morally wrong; it is practised by no civilized society. Last week, too, a convicted child murderer and serial killer learned that he will die of cancer. He has been in prison for all of that time since his conviction and showed no apparent remorse. We did not reduce ourselves to the moral state of Clifford Olson by taking his life, by executing him, or by showing no remorse and by trying to justify the death penalty. Instead, we mourn the loss and unthinkable pain felt by the families

Less sense, more dollars

An obvious direction Editor: Re: Only some voices heard, Sept. 22 letters. I read with interest the letter regarding the number of buses that race up and down Thrift Avenue. In Crescent Beach, we have an identical problem. With 61 scheduled 351 buses and numerous “not in service” buses in the area, we have close to 100 buses steaming through the beach area daily. Our roads are narrow and our village quite pedestrian, most certainly not a suitable spot for highway diesel buses. The buses are almost always empty and almost always breaking the 30 km/h speed limit. TransLink takes complaints but seems incapable of understanding the facts and making change. I am in total agreement with letter-writer Karen Lanier when she states the need for smaller buses to take riders to the larger buses bound for Vancouver. It seems like such an obvious direction to take. I wonder why TransLink cannot see the way. Jane Wright, Surrey

Editor: To most of us residing here on the West Coast, we know that BC stands for British Columbia, but for visitors, they frequently believe it’s an abbreviation for Bring Cash. It would seem to me that if drivers were to use more CS – Common Sense – there would be less of a need to BC. For example, the first time a driver is caught using a mobile phone to text or talk while driving, it would simply be a matter of handing over their mobile phone,

which they could collect 24 hours later from the police station. Don’t forget to BC. The amount due would be $167, plus late fees if you arrive after 24 hours. BC for parking, as there may be a long wait. Should you continue to drive without using CS, and you have the misfortune to get caught again using your mobile phone, you will hand over your mobile device for one week. There will be a flat storage rate of $250. When you go to the police station to pick it up, BC. There will be an extra shipping and handling charge that has to be paid by money order in advance, if by chance, you were just passing through town when you were caught. Should there be a third offence, you can kiss that device goodbye, and the police force is not responsible for any late fees or charges associated with your cellphone plan. C.J. Mitton, White Rock

Colouring maps at home helps some students develop much-needed skills, writes teacher Ann Harris.

Mapping’s anything but busy work Editor: Re: Value of homework a judgment call, Sept. 15 editorial. I am a secondary teacher in Surrey with 20-plus years of experience, 10 of them teaching social studies. Like many of my colleagues, I am aware of the timemanagement demands that modern families face and would never give students homework just for the sake of doing so. In my subject, homework is usually whatever students did not finish in class, which encourages them to use class time productively. Sometimes it is to seek information on the Internet. Since they already spend a lot of time on their computers, they do not find this too onerous. However, my letter is actually to dispute your comment that “colouring a Xeroxed map could be considered busy work.” As September ends, I am completing my geography unit with my two Socials 8 and two Socials 9 classes. There are some students who have a good knowledge of basic Geography, but many do not. In fact, for many, their geographic understanding is dismal. The concepts of latitude and longitude are extremely challenging for many. Although they may have a GPS in

their car, they have no comprehension of the principles on which it is based. When it comes to maps, even though the outline may be Xeroxed, I have to tell you that students find the details very challenging. Many do not understand the difference between a continent and a country, for example, or that countries would be coloured different colours, or even that a city is represented by a dot. No kidding! Printing the words is by far the biggest challenge. Many students lack the motor skills to print neatly or even legibly. Copying the names with correct spelling is also difficult, and many need to be told that the names of countries, cities, etc. need to start with a capital letter. My guess is that the reason for this is that they are used to printing on their computers, which also have spellcheck. All of this difficulty could be avoided if I just asked the students to print out a map from Google Earth. Maybe that’s all they need to know how to do in 2011? I don’t believe that. The understanding, concentration and attention to detail needed for a Grade 8 or 9 student to produce a good map is anything but “busy work”. Ann Harris, Surrey

Court decision could set rail-noise precedent Tyler Orton Black Press

A legal action involving New Westminster residents upset about rail noise could create precedents that would apply to communities like White Rock and Crescent Beach. “We’ll be following up on this to see if there are any ramifications pertaining to White Rock,” city administrator Peggy Clark said Tuesday commenting on a case in which New Westminster residents – looking to rid the Quayside neighbourhood of late-night rail noise and vibrations – descended upon the Federal Court of Appeal in downtown Vancouver on last week. New West residents may have to wait up to three months for any relief, however, while a threejudge panel decides the case. But Clark noted the noise situation in New Westminster is a result of rail car switching operations in waterfront marshalling yards – quite different from the rail traffic through White Rock and South Surrey. Nighttime train whistles have been a principal issue for residents such as White Rock’s Floyd Stanley, who says he has found growing support for a citizens’ committee since his letter com-

plaining about rail noise appeared in the Peace Arch News earlier this year. “It’s encouraging,” he said of the New Westminster case. “We’ll have to wait and see what happens – I was thinking it would be nice to start something similar here.” But while Clark agreed with Stanley that there is an agreement between the city and BNSF that train whistles should not, in general, be sounded between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m., Transport Canada directives on sounding whistles, where there is a question of safety, take precedence over the agreement. Quayside Community Board rail noise committee chairman Brian Allen said the judges’ decision would have significant ramifications for the government as well. “The ruling that comes out of this will impact every single government agency department that has a public complaints mediation process,” he said. Allen said the QCB was satisfied with the original 2008 agreement the CTA helped broker between the railway companies and the community board. The agreement called for Canadian Pacific Railway, Canadian National Railway, BNSF Railway

and Southern Railway to reduce noise to a reasonable level in the evening and maintain a phone line for complaints. The rail companies have not honoured a number of conditions of the mediated settlement, according to Allen. “We didn’t see it as a conflict. We saw it as an opportunity for them to make (it) right… and they didn’t,” Allen said. “So because they didn’t, we filed another complaint.” He said a confidentiality agreement prevents him and Crosty from speaking about other alleged breaches of the 2008 mediated settlement. Crosty said he was “cautiously optimistic” about the outcome of the court proceedings. He said the ultimate goal is for the CTA to establish a period between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. when trains are not permitted to engage in coupling, decoupling or shunting. “They could still be able to go through, but they can’t exchange cars and create that noise and vibration that happens when you slam cars together,” Crosty said. The panel of judges is expected to issue its decision in about three months, but Allen said he would love to see a ruling within 30 days. – with files from Alex Browne

A public hearing on a controversial development proposed for the corner of Marine Drive and Oxford Street is to proceed Monday. White Rock council last week gave first and second reading to zoning and Official Community Plan bylaw amendments needed to allow the Marine Terraces project to proceed. The unanimous vote followed a presentation by architect Tim Ankenman at the Sept. 12 land use and planning committee meeting, in which Ankenman described a complex now proposed to include one fourstorey apartment block, two three-storey townhouse blocks and a block of two-storey townhouses over at-grade commercial units. It was first proposed to stand up to 15 storeys high. Residents have voiced concerns about the project’s height since January, when the concept of building on the 1.14-acre site – encompassing 14807 Marine Dr., 1184 Oxford St. and 14818 to 14832 Buena Vista Ave. – was first raised. The project was scaled back twice before the committee recommended in July that further efforts be made to keep heights on the two residential lots within existing zoning. According to city staff, that condition has been met. If passed, the OCP amendment would change the designation of the two residential lots on Buena Vista Avenue to commercial, which would increase the lots’ allowed height to 37 feet from 25; the zoning amendment would rezone the entire project area to permit the mixed commercial/residential development. Monday’s public hearing is to get underway at 7 p.m., followed by the regular council meeting. - Tracy Holmes

the decision did not suit his wife, who soon returned to the east with the children. Although he visited them occasionally, they never again lived as a family. There was no chance of a divorce since Mary Hill was a devout Catholic. This hurdle did not prevent Sam from entering into liaisons, fathering three other children. To legitimize one, he persuaded his cousin to marry the child’s mother. Each of the women was given a trust fund to raise her child. On the Canadian side of the border, not far from the Peace Arch, another of Sam’s enterprises still thrives. It was begun under the company name of Ye Olde English Restaurants, Ltd. in 1923 to entertain his American friends during prohibition. The complex included a golf course opened

in 1928, now known as Peace Portal. During his last decade, Sam’s fortunes steadily declined. His marriage had failed, his daughter institutionalized with mental problems and his son estranged. Still, he held on to ‘some ineffable wish for self-realization and immortality.’ He died after a short illness in 1931, and his ashes placed in the crypt at Maryhill, the ‘castle’ he had built on the banks of the Columbia River. A marker contains the epitaph that he had prepared for the occasion, “Samuel Hill: amid nature’s great unrest, he sought rest.” Biographer Tuhy wrote: “If Sam Hill had never existed, it would not have been necessary to invent him: in fact, it would have been next to impossible… he was his own complicated invention which eventually exploded.” A document in the holdings of the White Rock archives, handwritten by Sam Hill in 1929, states, “I would not have the United States and Canada bound by other ties than friendship. Let each learn from the other, but let not any right or fancied right be settled except by peaceful arbitration, and may the dawn of the next one hundred years find each nation seeking its neighbour’s good as well as its own.” An advocate of such noble precepts deserves to be remembered even if he wasn’t the most famous Sam Hill ever born.

The tuna collection is building on Comfort Keepers’ Stop Senior Hunger food drive, which aimed to amass 1,000 cans of tuna by the end of June. For info on future events, call 604-541-8654.

Connecting with mentors When school started this month, 25 aboriginal Surrey students began spending up to two hours a week with a mentor. But even now, students won’t know their mentors if they pass them in the street, because their only communication is online. “It’s called eMentoring and it’s a new program that uses the Internet to connect aboriginal youth with role models who will provide them with the support, knowledge and confidence they need to succeed in university,” said Jan Gladish, the teacher assigned to the Surrey School District’s literacy and aboriginal education departments. Aboriginal youth are dramatically under-represented in post-secondary education, particularly the health sciences, which represent some of the fastest growing career tracks in North America, district staff say. With only nine per cent of aboriginal students eligible for post-secondary education, there are tremendous barriers to change. A recent $917,000 award from the Canadian Institute for Health Research to UBC’s Dr. Sandra Jarvis-Selinger, assistant professor in the department of surgery, could change all that. Aboriginal eMentoring BC is aimed at building post-secondary career pathways for aboriginal youth. Funded by the CIHR award, the program is

FALL CLEAN-UP MADE EASY STARTING AT ONLY

a partnership between the UBC Faculty of Medicine, UBC eHealth Strategy Office and a handful of B.C. school districts and First Nations. Surrey is the only partner district in the Lower Mainland. The program works by matching aboriginal youth with postsecondary health students from UBC who communicate with them in a structured online environment for a minimum of one school year. Mentors aim to provide aboriginal students with the knowledge, confidence and skills to stay in school and ideally choose a career path in the health sciences, where aboriginals are extremely underrepresented. “Providing opportunities for kids to see themselves at university is especially important for firstgeneration kids – kids who may be the first in their family to graduate from high school or to attend post-secondary,” says Gladish. Katherine Wisener, UBC’s project manager of eMentoring, says the project is essentially an early-intervention program. “It’s often the case that aboriginal students finish high school and then look into a health career only to realize they’ve dropped a course or don’t have the credits, effectively shutting those doors,” Wisener says. “This is about instilling that dedication among students to push through, work hard and keep those doors open.”

business Sally Hauca and MaryAnne Galey target ‘niche market’ with new endeavour

Business venture promotes ‘yoga on the go’ Nick Greenizan

Staff Reporter

ust because you’re on vacation, your fitness regime doesn’t have to suffer. That’s the message Peninsula residents Sally Hauca and MaryAnne Galey are trying to get out with the release of their “take-along” fitness program, Yoga RVing, a one-hour yoga routine designed specifically for smaller spaces. “We’re targeting a niche market, but this is something that could be used in RVs, hotel MaryAnne Galey rooms, guest bedrooms – Yoga RVing anywhere where there isn’t a lot of extra space,” said Galey, who came up with the idea for a DVD last February, while on an RV trip to Nevada with her husband. “I wanted to do my yoga before I went for a walk, and I just thought, ‘I need Sally’s program on a DVD.’” After returning from her trip, Galey brought the idea to Hauca – Galey’s yoga instructor – and soon the pair had formed a partnership. “At first, I thought ‘Well, there

been filmed, and it was released July 1. “We were very serious about it

right from the start, and we felt it was important to get it out as soon as we could,” said Galey, who’s been RVing for more than 30 years. For the new endeavour, Hauca didn’t have to adjust her yoga routines much for space reasons – “A yoga mat is the same width as an RV (aisle way),” she said – but she was sure to incorporate RV “props” such as nearby seats and tables into the routine. As well, they targeted the program – which is split into three 20-minute segments – for the baby-boomer and snowbird crowd, because they’re the most likely to be spending the most time travelling by RV. So far, the DVD has been met with positive reviews from buyers, and sales – done through the company’s website and a few local retail outlets – have been strong. “It’s been great so far, and it’s been fun,” said Hauca. The pair will be doing a demonstration at noon, Sept. 30 – National Yoga Day – at Saje Natural Wellness, 14837 Marine Drive. Yoga RVing is currently available online (www.yogarving.com) or at Shibui Skin Care (103 1440 George St.), Campbell River Store (790 176 St.) and Whitby’s Books and Gifts (14833 Marine Dr.).

One-year contract extension with TransLink half over

‘Cease fire’ for bus drivers Jeff Nagel Black Press

The threat of a strike disrupting bus service in Metro Vancouver has lifted – at least for now. Unionized bus drivers and mechanics agreed to a temporary wage freeze when they ratified a one-year contract extension with TransLink earlier this month. But since the old contract expired in April, the extension is already half over and amounts to more of a cease fire than a lasting labour peace. “We will be going back to the bargaining table soon and hope that when we do, the issue of sustainable funding for improving public transit, especially the overloaded bus system, has been resolved,” said Don MacLeod, president of Local 111 of the Canadian Auto Workers. The union represents 3,500 bus drivers and 900 mechanics at TransLink’s Coast Mountain Bus Co. subsidiary. Members voted 59 per cent in favour of the contract extension. Metro Vancouver mayors vote Oct. 7 on a transit expansion package that requires higher guaranteed revenue sources, including a two-cent gas tax hike and a property tax increase

The number of buses operating falls far short of demand, he said, adding more riders also want to take late-night routes in the wake of stiffer roadside penalties for drinking and driving.

Longer three-year agreements were signed earlier this year with unionized workers who run the Canada Line and other SkyTrain lines. The SkyTrain contract gave rapid transit workers a threeper-cent pay hike in the first year. They get whatever bus drivers eventually negotiate for their second and third years.

The idea of slapping a tax on every shipping container that moves through local port terminals will be investigated in detail by Metro Vancouver. The regional board voted last week to pursue the concept as a different mechanism to help fund TransLink – one that wouldn’t hit homeowners and motorists, unlike proposals to raise gas taxes or impose road pricing or a vehicle levy. “There are a lot of transport trucks rolling,” Metro board chair Lois Jackson said Friday. “There’s a lot of money on the table here.” Richmond Coun. Harold Steves said port expansion is putting more trucks onto local roads, but there’s no mechanism to share in the resulting costs. He also noted hundreds of acres of farmland have been bought up in recent years for construction of the South Fraser Perimeter Road or for future shipping terminals. “Most of those containers we know are going farther east,” said Surrey Coun. Linda Hepner, who added the proposal may be a way of getting Ottawa’s attention. But she questioned whether truckers and shippers should shoulder the fee and persuaded the board to also pursue some sort of direct payment to regional transportation costs from the federal government that would reflect port use. “Maybe they want to count the containers and give us the money back,” Hepner said. “Maybe that’s the funding process. But taking it to the industry and the port and making the port less competitive, I’m not sure that’s the answer.”

Smoking banned in regional parks Jeff Nagel Black Press

Metro Vancouver will impose a ban on smoking in almost all areas of its regional parks. Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board vote passed by a wide margin, with Surrey and Vancouver directors in favour. It outlaws smoking throughout Metrorun parks, trails and beaches â&#x20AC;&#x201C; except where designated smoking areas are set up and signed. Those smoke pits are to be set up in heavily used areas where people spend large amounts of time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as beaches, shelters, reservable buildings and campsites. A last-minute attempt to water down the smoking restrictions failed. Electoral director Maria Harris proposed

an amendment that would have prohibited smoking in only congested areas of Metro parks, leaving smokers free to puff in large swathes. Langley City Coun. Gayle Martin, chair of the parks committee, supported the change, saying smokers are â&#x20AC;&#x153;an easy targetâ&#x20AC;? for the politically correct, but a more â&#x20AC;&#x153;common senseâ&#x20AC;? approach is needed. Vancouver Coun. Andrea Reimer was among those who voted to defeat the change, calling it a compromise of a compromise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no inherent right to smoke in a public place,â&#x20AC;? she said. Richmond Coun. Harold Steves said smokers are now so scarce they pose less risk through secondhand smoke than in the past. He questioned how a â&#x20AC;&#x153;little whiff of smoke along a trailâ&#x20AC;? could do harm.

Posting signs and other printed information on the policy would cost the region up to $23,000. A Metro staff report estimated only 10 to 15 per cent of park-goers smoke and that most would likely voluntarily comply with the new restrictions without any extra spending on enforcement. Parks officers will be able to issue fines but the focus will be on educating smokers of the ban. Smoking zones are to be designated only where there is little risk of secondhand smoke exposure to others, smoking litter is contained and there is no risk of fire starts.

He added, “The Roadshow is great because it puts money in people’s pockets, especially during such hard times. Lots of items that are just sitting around collecting dust in basements and jewellery boxes can be exchanged for money, on the spot!”

Perry Bruce continued, “Canadian coins prior to 1967, and American coins prior to 1964 are all made with silver, and we have noticed a large increase of customers coming to the Roadshow with coins and cashing them in for their silver value”. Experts at the Roadshow will evaluate and examine your items, FREE OF CHARGE, as well as educate you on them. The Roadshow sees hundreds of people during a one week event, and they have been travelling across Canada to different cities and towns, searching for your forgotten treasures. Trains, dolls, toys, old advertising signs, pocket watches, porcelain and bisque dolls, pretty much everything can be sold at the Roadshow. Any early edition Barbie’s are sought after by the Road-

show collectors, as well as a variety of Dinky Toys and Matchbox cars. Lionel Trains and a variety of tin toys can also fetch a price, especially if they are in their original box or in mint condition. If a collector is looking for one of your collectibles, they can always make an offer to buy it. A man brought in a 1950’s Marx Tin Toy Robot, in fairly good condition, still in its original box. They were able to locate a collector for that speciÀc toy within minutes, and that gentleman went home with over $700 for his Toy Robot and a few other small toys. So whether you have an old toy car, a broken gold chain, or a Barbie sitting in the closet, bring it down to the Roadshow, they will take a look at it for FREE and it could put money in your pocket!

See you at the roadshow!

Salmon show no signs of radiation Jeff Nagel Black Press

Salmon tested after returning to B.C. show no signs of elevated radiation levels from their migration through ocean waters feared to be contaminated by the Japanese nuclear disaster earlier this year. “Twelve samples of domestic fish were tested and all products were below Health Canada action levels,” according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. All samples came back showing no detectable levels levels of radioactive cesium. Spokesperson Alice D’Anjou said the samples covered pink, chum, coho, sockeye and spring salmon and albacore tuna. CFIA officials had said they didn’t expect anything to turn up, but conducted the tests out of an abundance of caution.

Photo walk to highlight shutterbug creativity Alex Browne Arts Reporter

An unexpected sight captured at a test photo walk.

Crescent Beach Photography Club is offering local photographers a chance to take a walk on the wilder side of their creativity this Saturday (Oct. 1). For two hours, from 10 a.m. to noon, photographers of all levels are invited to participate in the fourth annual Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk. Following a mapped route through uptown White Rock, shutterbugs will be able to use their imaginations to capture unorthodox and unexpected visions of an urban landcsape of streets, stores, shop windows, sidewalks and back alleys – subjects

that that might otherwise be ignored, or taken for granted. “We could have planned the walk for Crescent Beach – because there are so many interesting things to take there – but we wanted to give people more of a challenge,” said co-organizer Lynne Kelman. “We could also have ended up with a lot of pictures of ducks,” she added, with a laugh. Participants will meet at 9:45 a.m. at Reid’s Foto Source at Central Plaza (15138 16 Ave.), and after following a route that winds around the White Rock Community Centre and upper city blocks, before descending the hill to the Five Corners/city hall area, the

walk will conclude at Small Ritual Coffee Shop (1237 Johnston Rd.). While the walk will only accommodate 50 photographers, it will produce photographs that are expected to be among more than six million images taken around the world in the same two-day period, in what is billed as the “largest global social photography event in the history of photography.” Pictures taken on the walk will be uploaded to a dedicated Flickr online site, and leaders of the walk – which also include club members Deb Reny and Carol How – will select images to be submitted to the event’s official see page 41

Dynamic duo set for performance Langley Community Music School will welcome Nancy Dahn, violin, and Timothy Steeves, piano of Duo Concertante to the Rose Gellert Hall for the season opener of Concerts Café Classico on Sept. 30. A pre-concert coffee and commentary with Elizabeth Bergmann, LCMS’ artistic director, will begin at 10 a.m., followed by the performance at 11 a.m. “The pair will interpret the youthful and spirited Sonata in B flat, KV. 378 by Mozart and the romantic sonata by Strauss,” said Bergmann. “Strauss wrote this sonata just after he fell in love with his wife-to-be and his romantic feelings are reflected in the many lyrical moments found throughout. In addition the very popular and famous Latin hit, Tico Tico by Brazilian composer Zequina de Abreu will be performed.” This husband and wife duo, who are professors at Memorial

University in St. John’s Nfld., will perform some of the most beautiful highlights of the violin and piano repertoire. Known for the passion and brilliance of their performances, Duo Concertante have, since 1997, been developing the unified voice that has become one of the most striking features of their work. Named Newfoundland & Labrador Arts Council’s Artist of the Year in May 2010, Duo Concertante have released four acclaimed CDs. A fifth recording, Wild Bird (2010), comprises works written especially for the duo by Canadian composers Murray Schafer, Chan Ka Nin, and Kati Agócs, including Schafer’s only major work for violin and piano. Dahn and Steeves are energetic and experienced educators who have given hundreds of workshops and master classes. In 2000, they founded

the Tuckamore Chamber Music Festival, of which they remain Artistic Directors, to bring together young

chamber music performers with world-class artists and ensembles. Tickets are available for $15 adults, $13

seniors and $10 students. Call the box office for tickets at 604534-2848. The Rose Gellert Hall is located at 4899 207 St. in Langley.

Club embracing technology from page 35 competition site for prizes. The walk is named for photographer/ computer and technology book author Kelby, president of the Florida-based National Association of Photoshop Professionals, and, as might be expected, the use of Photoshop is encouraged in tweaking the images. “Images can be processed in any way, shape or form, but photographs must be taken during the two hours on Oct. 1 and must be on the designated route only,” Kelman said, noting the only other restriction is that nothing can be added that wasn’t in the original image. She said the organizers will also have a list of retailers who have given permission to photograph inside the stores. “We’re also working on having firemen washing a truck outside the fire station,” she said. The Crescent Beach club’s current embrace of digital photo technology was an inevitable development, said Kelman, particularly with the increasing number of computer-savvy younger people joining the club. “They’re coming in with a whole new attitude and new ideas – they’re light years ahead of the rest of us,” she said. Kelman admits she was long a holdout, clinging to the image character of traditional 35 mm film. But she noted the last year or two has seen a definite turning point among photographers, with even the Canadian Association of Photographic Art (CAPA) endorsing digital photography. As technology develops rapidly, the gulf between new and old media has largely evaporated, Kelman said, with digital

Team sets records

Mariners topple Rutland Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Earl Marriott Mariners had a record-setting day in Kelowna last Friday, after the senior varsity football squad came from behind to beat Rutland 62-35. “There wasn’t a lot of defence from either team,” Michael Mackay-Dunn said. “But we scored a lot of points in the second half, and I don’t even know how many we got in the third quarter... I lost track.” The Mariners, who play at the double-A level, didn’t get off to the hottest of starts against their triple-A opponents; they trailed by as many as two touchdowns and were down 28-21 at halftime. “We kept coming back, and coming back and just wore them down,” said Mackay-Dunn. EMS quarterback Cole Meyer led the charge on offence, shredding the Rutland defence with more than 300 yards passing and four touchdown passes – three of which were caught by wide receiver Ian McMaster. Running back Nathan Muir had three rushing touchdowns, while fellow runner Garrett Franklin had one touchdown and more than 100 yards on the ground. Bobby Devaney had one TD reception and, on defence, had three interceptions, and Kevin Reimer – whom Mackay-Dunn said was also great on special teams – had two tackles and one interception. Meyer also kicked seven converts and in the fourth quarter, teamed up with Dima Povalyaev on a 90-yard interception return, with Meyer covering the first 50 yards before lateralling the ball to Povalyaev, who took it the rest of the way for his first-ever touchdown. “We definitely set a lot of records,” Mackay-Dunn said. The Mariners (2-0) face the Mission Roadrunners, one of the top teams in double-A, Friday on the road.

White Rock-South Surrey Titans’ flag division squad started Titans Day with a bang – a four-point victory over the Cloverdale Cheetahs.

White Rock Titans win four on home turf White Rock-South Surrey Titans teams picked up four wins in five games Sunday, during the minor football association’s annual Titans Day celebrations. To start Sunday’s action at South Surrey Athletic Park, the flag-division Titans edged the Cloverdale Cheetahs 7-3. The Cheetahs scored first, but failed to convert the point-after, and then White Rock took the lead when Reid Turner returned the ensuing kick for a touchdown – TDs are worth three points in flag football – and Lucas RogerWilson converted the point-after (two points). Titans’ Lucas Rolling rounded out the scoring when he snagged the opposing running back’s flag in the Cloverdale end zone for a safety. “It was a strong defensive battle, well-played by both teams,” Titans assistant coach Aaron Collins said. In atom action, the Titans’ offence was in fine form, beating the Cloverdale Lions 40-8. Kulsher Randhawa, who was named player of the game, and Isaiah Edwards each had two touchdowns for the home team, while Rhys Huston and Jay Mather had one apiece to round

out the scoring. Mather’s score came after Marcus Cumberworth recovered a Lions’ fumble to give the Titans’ offence the ball. Alisha Jeys-Morrison was named the Titans’ top defensive player for the game, while other strong defensive performances were put forth

by Kieran Ritchie, Michael Giustino and Brett Fowler. The Titans also put their offensive game on display in the peewee tilt Sunday afternoon, beating the Richmond Raiders 38-7. White Rock led 30-7 at halftime, thanks to see page 46

Hatachi, Ginther win Rotary Run events

Familiar faces top field Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

For the second time since the summer, Tatsuya Hatachi found himself atop a podium on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. On Sunday, the fleet-footed Coquitlam runner took top spot in the Rotary Run Half Marathon, clocking a time of one hour, 20 minutes and three seconds in the 21.1-km race, which was three seconds quicker than secondplace finisher Katherine Moore of Vancouver. The Rotary Run victory was the second in recent months for Hatachi; he also claimed top spot at the Canada Day 10K in White Rock on July 1, which was his second consecutive win in that event. And Hatachi wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only familiar name to find the podium

at last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event, which also included a five-km run and a team relay; South Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tyler Ginther â&#x20AC;&#x201C; winner of the 2009 race, and many others locally in recent years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; topped the field in the five-km race. Gintherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time of 17:30 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a blistering 3:30 per-kilometre pace â&#x20AC;&#x201C; set a new event record. He finished more than a minute and 20

seconds ahead of second-place runner Elliott Clarke of White Rock. Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Steeve Guerin was third, nine seconds back of Clarke. Rounding out the podium in the half marathon was Rika Hatachi, who finished third in a time of 1:30:29, while the top Surrey runner was Martin Schwuchow, in fifth. White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Francisco Velazquez placed sixth, but was was first in the male 25-29 division. The top team in the relay event was Running Smile, competing in the Open 175+ (total years) division, clocking a time of 1:31:30. In second was Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Paint, competing in the corporate division, while third was won by Trane Team, also of Surrey. For full results, visit www.rotaryrun.org

While playing peewee hockey with Semiahmoo Minor Hockey, Garrison – a 26-year-old, sixfoot-two, 216-pound defenceman – said he was a bit smaller and a little skinnier than the other kids. But he also paid more attention to making friends and having fun than to the game itself. “The first three or four years, I played in house (division) and on B-teams,” he said. “I never made rep until high school.” “He was a good kid but he didn’t really stand out,” former Semiahmoo coach John Blessman recalled. At the time, people looking at the young player goofing around on the ice could be forgiven for not expecting much out of him. However, not taking the game too seriously during his early years was the best thing he ever did, Garrison said. “When it was time to get serious, I didn’t get impatient with it. I could see it on the other side.” The other side included not having pressure put on him by parents wanting to live their son’s life. He was also an outsider, having come from Aldergrove into a tight-knit Semiahmoo hockey league community in the seventh grade. Garrison took a lack of expectation as an advantage.

Jason Garrison (right) throws a hit on an Abbotsford Heat player in 2009, when Garrison played for Rochester of the AHL. He worked on his skills, enjoyed the sport and his teammates’ friendships and kept playing. “Jason’s a prime example of how it should be done.” Blessman said, regarding the former Semiahmoo player’s rise to the NHL, where he’ll be among a Panthers’ blue-line corps that includes former Vancouver Canuck Ed Jovanovski. The ladder approach, Blessman called it. Moving in small steps, rather than in leaps and bounds. At 14, Garrison began working out and filling-in, and eventually joined the Junior B Richmond Sockeyes a year

later. It was the Sockeyes who moved him from forward to defense. The team went to nationals and it was there that the wife of the Nanaimo Clippers head coach saw him play. A recommendation to her husband helped put Garrison on the team. After a stint in the BCHL, the Semiahmoo hockey product found himself at the University of Minnesota-Duluth. Three years later, though undrafted by an NHL team, he signed as a free-agent with the Florida Panthers. “I worked hard to play well,” Garrison said. “It’s nice to get recognized.”

Midget Titans’ offence leads charge in win over Chilliwack from page 43 two TDs apiece from Michael Dowhaniuk and Eduardo Gonzalez, and Noah Brown added the team’s fifth touchdown in the fourth quarter, on a four-yard play. Johnny Sutherland, Thane Martine and Dillon Miolla were also standouts on offence, while Lukas Frers, Jarod Roberson, Keith Lowe and Thomas Van Egmond were solid on defence. The Titans’ midget squad rounded out the association’s victorious Sunday with a 39-17 win over the Chilliwack Giants. Neither team’s offence moved the ball

much in the early stages of the game, but White Rock got on the board when, after a Daniel Mendoza fumble recovery, the Titans marched downfield and Brandon LeMoignan kicked a 20-yard field goal. LeMoignan also scored the Titans’ first major later in the opening quarter, when quarterback Cole Meyer hit him with a 45-yard pass that he took into the end zone.

a safety to White Rock, and Willie Watson extended the home side’s lead with a twoyard TD catch. Watson, playing defensive back, scored again on defence when, on the Giants’ next drive, he ran an interception back 67 yards into the end zone. Tyler Leader also had a key interception for White Rock late in the game, and Peter Kilberg and Andrew Lawrence also played well on defence. The Titans’ only loss of the day came in the junior bantam tilt against the North Surrey Falcons, which the visiting team won 13-6. - Nick Greenizan

Before halftime, Chilliwack tacked on a field goal, giving them 17 unanswered points before the break In the second quarter, White Rock had a scoring play overturned when a penalty nullified a play that saw Titans’ Josh Cochrane return a missed field goal attempt 115 yards for a highlight-reel worthy touchdown. In the second half, Meyer and LeMoignan again hooked up on a scoring play – this time from 42 yards out – and Cochrane followed up with a 55-yard punt return touchdown to give White Rock the lead. In the fourth quarter, the Giants conceded

The team will play its first game Friday, 5 p.m., against Quebec at West Vancouver’s Ambleside Park, and on Saturday will face off against Alberta, at 2 p.m. at Ambleside. The Supra’s third tilt is slated for Sunday, 11:30 a.m. versus Ontario. In 2010, Semiahmoo was crowned B.C. champion of the women’s over30 circuit.

Goalkeeper Hannah Jiwani recorded the shutout between the pipes, her second in a row. Up front, Nikki Lacis, Victoria Singh and Meg Farmer also had great games, Ferris said. The Storm currently sit atop the 12-team Metro standings.

SEPTEMBER 29/2011

Rooftop decks sometimes a better plan than a backyard

Outdoor spaces still usable for fall Even if the weather wasn’t as nice as we could have hoped, there was no shortage of people enjoying the outdoors this summer. While many could be found on restaurant patios or the beaches around the Lower Mainland, some were enjoying the sunshine on their very own rooftop deck. Many new home developments are including rooftop decks in their plans, responding to a demand for outdoor space without having to leave the comfort of your own home. With space sometimes at a premium, it is more useful to have a deck on the roof than it is to have a backyard. The rooftop deck at Aragon Properties’ Flow at Port Royal “is so tranquil and wideopen,” says Aragon Director of Sales and Marketing David Wan.

With views of the Fraser River and a fireplace, the decks are usable year-round. Azura Management’s Aviva on the Park in Port Coquitlam also boasts its own rooftop spaces at their townhomes, giving residents a bit of extra space for entertaining or relaxing. For the ultimate in luxury, Adera’s Ultima at Pacific Spirit includes private rooftop lanais perfect for adding a hot tub. The lanais are the best place to check out the stunning views of the University of British Columbia. Many developments include a rooftop deck as an amenity, including Barber Creek Development’s Edgewater in Surrey and Intergulf Development’s Kits360 in Vancouver. Edgewater’s deck includes an outdoor pool. It’s doubtful anyone will regret owning a place with a deck, no matter what the weather.

‘Where sculpture meets structure’

Central rises above Vancouver skyline by Kerry Vital

Onni’s Central in southeast False Creek is aiming to be an integral part of Vancouver’s skyline. With its original architecture and attention to detail, that is no long-shot goal. “You would be hard-pressed to see something like this again,” says Onni sales manager Nick Belmar. “It’s where sculpture meets structure ... We wanted to make it a landmark for Vancouver.” Central is unlike every other residential building that came before it. Instead of the typical tower and podium approach, meaning a tower surrounded by a base of commercial space or townhomes, one residential tower is turned on its side. Onni calls it the Skybridge. “We are very proud of what they’ve done,” says Belmar. “The defining feature is absolutely the Skybridge ... it’s phenomenal.” “So many of the downtown towers have been built in a very short time, and so they have become a sea of sameness. With the design of Central, we wanted something that would rise above the too-often dull waters of the

sea,” says architect Bruce Haden of DIALOG. The building will feature two towers, one that will hold office and retail space, and the other residential, topped by the Skybridge, which is set at an angle to maximize light and views of the water, city and mountains. A courtyard features a reflecting pool set into a half-acre park area. Homes are available in one-bedroom, twobedroom and penthouse plans, ranging from 515 to 1,500 square feet, many with attached balconies or patios. The penthouses also include a terrace. But the architecture isn’t the only thing attracting buyers. Belmar says about half of the 304 homes have been sold, and the high-quality finishings and proximity to everything Vancouver has to offer keeps bringing potential buyers in droves. One of the popular features at

Central is the full-sized appliances, which are a rarity in the condo market. Other features include Europeanmade commercial-grade wide-plank laminate flooring in the living areas, and Berber-style carpeting in the bedrooms and walk-in closets. Foodies are able to choose between honed natural stone or composite countertops, with a breakfast bar overhang in most homes. Europeaninspired cabinetry with a rift-cut oak veneer face is standard, fitting in seamlessly with the modern overheight tile backsplash and stainlesssteel under-mounted sink. Bathrooms at Central are made for luxury, including porcelain floor tile and an oversized vanity mirror for all your grooming needs. A separate deep soaker tub with tiled front is ready for every bubble bath, and the glass shower enclosure includes a mosaic-tiled base and high-gloss tile from floor to ceiling. All of this combines with the solid composite stone countertops with a matching backsplash to become the perfect ode to relaxation. Belmar is not exaggerating when he says how close to everything Central is.

The SeaWall, recently voted as the best public space in Canada, is just steps away, while a water taxi or the Aquabus is ready to whisk you across False Creek to Granville Island, Yaletown or the West End. Shopping, restaurants and every other service you could possibly need are close by, making Central the perfect neighbourhood hub. Owners will have access to a 7,000 square-foot wellness centre that includes a fitness centre, yoga studio and a steam and sauna room. A dining room with a professional kitchen will also be available for residents looking to host a party, and a games room, lounge/entertainment area and theatre are also included. Finally, owners will have the use of a quiet study room and a rooftop garden terrace with plots available for growing your own food. Belmar warns potential homebuyers that they must not wait to buy a home at Central. “I tell them regardless of where, you must get into this building. You won’t be disappointed.” Buyers will be able to take residence in 2014. Homes start at $347,900. For more information visit www. ownatcentral.com or call 604-682-8801.

“

The deﬁning feature is absolutely the Skybridge,” says Onni sales manager Nick Belmar.

Opportunity for an outstanding

Multi-Media Journalist KLITCH, Linda Louise Mary (nee Zurowski) Some are remembered for their contributions to community. (Linda Klitch, 60, happened to be one of those). Many others are remembered for personal accolades on paper and brass (Linda, Business Woman of the Year, had too many to count). But only one will be remembered as the “Margarita Mom” as she spent many a weekend with her adoring family in her beloved Shuswap, whenever she left the city for her home away from home. Born and raised in Prince Albert, Sask., Linda made a name for herself opening fashion boutiques and raising her children. By the time she moved to advertising sales – and to Kamloops, B.C. – Linda had begun to win what would turn into a lifetime of awards. She later became sales manager of Kamloops This Week, and eventual publisher, and in 2000 moved to the Semiahmoo Peninsula to become Peace Arch News publisher. Linda’s contributions to the White Rock/ South Surrey area are legendary, having volunteered for Peace Arch News Vintage Affair, Community of Lights Event Society and Spirit of the Sea Festival, as well as her work with WRSS Community Foundation, all in the name of improving the quality of life for residents. On Sept. 26, 2011, Linda passed away, after complications from surgery. She is pre-deceased by her father, August Zurowski, and survived by her mother, Bea, siblings Louise, Cyril and Lorraine, and beloved husband David Klitch, whom she married in 2005. She is remembered as the “world’s greatest mom” by Clark Hooton (Lisa), Amber Hooton (Chris), Preston Hooton (Lindsay), Denver Hooton (Mickel) and Tyler Klitch (Jen), and as lover of all things family, by grandchildren Beckett, Noa, Anika and Meredith, and many nieces and nephews. A Celebration of Life in honour of Linda will be held Saturday, Oct. 1 at Hazelmere Golf Course (18150 8 Ave., Surrey), 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. In lieu of ﬂowers, her family requests donation be made to the Linda Klitch Legacy Fund, care of the WRSSCF (email info@wrsscf.org or call 778-292-1367). As well, one of Linda’s last wishes was to encourage her friends – whom she cherished – to donate blood.

Nissan Versa 2012: Big on space, tiny on fuel Story and photos by Jim Robinson Metroland Media Carguide Magazine

SEATTLE, Wa.: It’s not often a manufacturer can boast of building one of the most powerful cars in the world alongside one of the most frugal, but that’s the case with Nissan. The Nissan GT-R with its 550 hp turbo engine thunders from 0-60 mph in just 2.9 seconds while the 2012 Versa compact sedan with its commodious interior and trunk has a combined fuel rating of 6.0L/100 km and a starting cost of a mere $11,798. The mileage comes from Nissan’s new PureDrive approach to supplying ever more energy-efficient vehicles, lead by the all-electric LEAF which we’ll start seeing on the roads in a few months. The Versa is the first to wear the PureDrive badge. The Versa is also the first Nissan to feature the new “family” grille design that will start rolling out with each new model. While it looks bigger than the last sedan model it’s actually 15 mm shorter while the wheelbase stays the same at 2,600 mm. The platform is all new. It uses 20 per cent fewer components which results in a weight saving of 68 kg. There will only be a new sedan for 2012, the hatchback model continuing to be sold unchanged. Canada loves hatchbacks and, with the Versa, only 10 per cent of sales are the sedan. But with so many changes to the sedan such as the price and fuel numbers, Nissan Canada knew they had to have it. The engine displacing 1.6-litres is a twin-cam, inline fourcylinder. This is not a direct gasoline injection unit, but what Nissan does to improve fuel consumption is use two injectors in the manifold instead of one. Nissan says it gives a 57 per cent finer spray for more efficient combustion. Driving the front wheels, the engine produces 109 hp and 107 lb/ft of torque. A five-speed manual is standard on the S and SV models with a CVT a $1,300 option. The CVT is standard on the toptrim SL. With the CVT, fuel consumption is rated at 6.7/5.2/6.0L/100 km city/highway/combined. On the highway, it uses 1.0L/100 km less than the previous CVT model. To give an idea of how good the Versa is on gas, the highway figure for the manual is 52 mpg and 54 mpg for the CVT. Nissan is a making a big thing about the passenger and trunk space on the 2012 Versa but to me the story is the CVT. When I first drove the Versa in 2007 with the CVT, it used a 122 hp 1.8-litre. There was a lot of noise at any speed but it

became awful when passing. It was one of the first CVTs, and when you hit the gas, the engine pegged at 5,800 revs as the CVT began to spool up. On a two-lane highway, it was white knuckles all the way. It turned me off CVTs. With the “second generation” CVT, it now shifts more like an automatic transmission. The streets of Seattle, where the press launch was held, is very much like San Francisco with very steep streets running down to the harbour. Stopped at a red light going uphill, when it turned green it was almost like the Versa had a hill holder mode. Lifting off the brake and hitting the gas was done with minimal rollback which I am sure the old CVT probably couldn’t do. Rather then being stuck driving in downtown Seattle which was part of the ride-and-drive plan, my driving partner and I struck out for Whidbey Island, a marvelous green gem out in Puget Sound. Driving off the high-speed ferry which runs every half hour, we had a splendid day stopping off at one of the quaint coffee houses this part of the world boasts capped by a leisurely lunch at a seaside, family-run Italian restaurant with woodfired thin bread pizza topped with clams caught only a few hours before from the bay. If you’re ever in Seattle, forget the Space Needle and go to Whidbey Island. This is where I tried passing other cars. With 109 hp, it’s not much to work with but, unlike the 2007 Versa, this one got up to speed nicely with overtaking accomplished confidently. There is still road noise but nothing like before. Part of this is due to the very large passenger area which is almost foursided it’s so big. The empty backseat area, while not exactly hollow, still leads to reverberation. The trunk has 419 litres (14.8 cu ft) of space which Nissan claims is segment leading. Nissan claims the backseat is the biggest in the segment and there’s no doubt in my mind. I tried the back seat and had more legroom that some mid-size cars I could name. The seats, especially the front seats, were great. Usually this is an area where the manufacturers try to cut costs, but not in this case. There is one interior colour, charcoal, but it’s broken up by a centre stack dividing the instrument panel into one for the driver and one for the passenger. The gauges themselves have large, illuminated white numbers on a black face with red pointers, making it very easy to see at a glance and understand. Another thing that struck me was how quiet the engine is at idle. Doing a driver change, I walked around the front and didn’t hear the engine. I almost twisted the ignition key until I

Riding on an all-new platform the 2012 Nissan Versa sedan gets up to 5.2L/100 km (54 mpg). The Versa is also the ﬁrst Nissan to carry the new signature grille design that will be used on all future Nissans.

The interior of the 2012 Versa comes in one colour, charcoal, but uses high quality trim such as soft touch surfaces.

noted the tack needle at 800 rpm. Pricing starts at $11,798 for the base S followed by the manual transmission SV at $13,798, the SV CVT at $15,098 and the toptrim SL at $16,298. The Versa is seen as a workhorse vehicle that is easy to afford, run and cover a lot of miles. There is no identiﬁable demographic although males in their 40s and up were mentioned at the press launch in Seattle. What Nissan feels will attract buyers is the starting price of $11,798 topping out well under 20 grand. Add in the claimed largest trunk in the category and combined fuel economy of 6.0L/100 km and you have a sedan that is going to give Mazda, Honda, Toyota and Hyundai a lot to think about.
