‘No conspiracy’ says mayor of Lawrence’s plan to rescind decision to move council chambers

Councillors lash out at city hall rethink Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock council has reconsidered its decision earlier this summer to move council chambers out of city hall. But Monday’s 4-3 vote that was prompted by a surprise motion has some councillors questioning the legality of the rethink – despite assurances from city staff that no rules have been broken.

“We were discussing a lease of community property when we hadn’t even issued an RFP (request for proposals), and we had nothing on paper in front of us,” Coun. Larry Robinson told Peace Arch News Tuesday. “I couldn’t even believe we were voting on it. It was wrong, it was just wrong.” Coun. Helen Fathers was highly critical of the process that led to Monday’s vote, and told PAN that she and Robinson have called

for a special council meeting to be held to get to the bottom of what transpired. A special council meeting is a step available under the Community Charter, and one the city’s mayor said is typically reserved for when an issue requires urgent action; criteria he doesn’t feel has been met in this case. “It smacks more to me of being some kind of inquiry of the events that took place, and I don’t think that’s particularly necessary to

occupy council’s time with,” Mayor Wayne Baldwin said Wednesday. The motion in question was brought forward by Coun. Bill Lawrence, who called to rescind a July 15 decision to move council chambers into a city-owned building at 1174 Fir St. and direct staff to invite expressions of interest for shared use of the space. Lawrence supported the decision in July i see page 4

Differing reactions to pot talk at border Alex Browne Staff Reporter

How consistent is screening of Canadians crossing the U.S. border into Washington State? Although a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) statement indicates federal marijuana enforcement is being emphasized across the board – in the wake of state ballot initiatives in Washington and Colorado that legalize possession of small amounts of pot – the recent experience of White Rock resident Jessica Goldstein and her passengers suggests some Canadians are being hassled more than others, particularly when admitting past use of controlled substances. While Goldstein was found “inadmissible” to the U.S. on Aug. 31 for admitting marijuana use, her passenger who made a similar admission was not. When the passenger sought to be admitted later the same day, she found the attitude from another CBP member a complete contrast to the “cold” and “bullying” treatment she, Goldstein and another companion had received. i see page 10

Cities split on what to do with old span

Great divide over Pattullo T ...and franklyy

than it has to. It’s important to note that New Westminster wanted the Pattullo Bridge built in that location in the 1930s. It wanted to capture a lot of business from Surrey and other Fraser Valley communities. Now it wants nothing to do with Surrey residents, and would prefer that they stay out of the city entirely. While many people who commute on that bridge would love to grant the city its wish, it isn’t practical, given the many destinations drivers are trying to get to each day. One other point in the TransLink report sparked my curiosity. It suggested that the Pattullo Bridge could collapse in a major earthquake or if struck by a ship. There have been several seismic upgrades to the Pattullo Bridge over the years. Has the work that we taxpayers have paid for been so poorly done that the bridge would collapse in an earthquake? As for ships striking the bridge, there are few large ships that go under the bridge. There are many barges, tugs and smaller craft, and there have been several incidents over the years. Most notably, one span of the adjacent rail bridge (which is now 109 years old) was damaged when struck by a barge in 1975. But the alarmist rhetoric about the bridge falling down is over the top. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

Rising costs, efficiency raised by city council

Surrey sounds off on B.C. policing plan Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Policing costs and efficiency are two of the main themes going from Surrey council to the provincial government as part of an examination of police services in this province. In 2011, the province made a commitment to develop a long-term strategic plan for policing, now called the B.C. Policing and Community Safety Plan. Part of that plan preparation involves engaging communities to unearth the main concerns felt locally. A staff report submitted to Surrey council Monday outlined some of the city’s concerns. Near the top is the escalating cost.

“The cost of local police service delivery has been increasing at a rate roughly double the combined rate of growth and inflation,” city manager Murray Dinwoodie wrote in the report to council. “In Surrey, approximately 48 per cent of property taxes are directed to funding police services.” In the coming years, that figure will rise to more than half, an increase that is “clearly not sustainable,” Dinwoodie said. Surrey is policed by the RCMP and has the largest detachment in Canada. The city spends about $113 million per year for RCMP services. Another concern of Surrey’s is efficiency. “All businesses, including the business of providing police services, need to be focused

on value for money and taking advantage of efficiencies,” Dinwoodie said. “A key business criterion relates to maximizing the benefits/outcomes achieved using available resources or alternatively, achieving outcome targets at a minimum cost.” Another impact on local policing is caused by the provincial government, by way of downloading services to municipalities and their police departments, Dinwoodie said. “With the changes that the province has introduced in the management of mental health services (including addiction), the role of police officers has changed in some areas default(ing) to being social workers,” he said. “The current approach taken by the province… is falling short of the needs that are

evident in the City of Surrey.” Surrey also wants to see new technologies brought here to strengthen efficiencies in policing. And Surrey is pointing out that the province needs to recognize the unique policing needs in each different community. “A ‘one-size-fits-all’ policing service model will not align with the needs of most communities,” Dinwoodie said in his report. “The plan should be flexible so as to be able to respond to unique community attributes and needs.” Council voted unanimously to send a copy of the report to the province as the City of Surrey’s input on the draft of the B.C. Policing and Community Safety Plan.

of attempted murder, he became eligible to apply for parole three years ago. Family members of both boys are alerted about hearings at least once a year. Each time, they recount the horror, reading statements to the parole board about the impact the murders have had. They don’t have to go to the hearings, but feel compelled. “Chris needs a voice,” his sister says. Though Arneil has been allowed escorted day passes, in March he was denied unescorted passes because he was deemed to still be a potential risk to society. Last month, he waived his right to a full parole hearing. Yesterday, like every Sept. 11, those left behind grieved the loss of McDaniel and Lussier in their own private way. Each year, Chapman lights a special candle with a green ribbon tied around it and lets it burn morning till night. In October, the families are planning a more public event to mark the 20-year anniversary of the crime. They intentionally chose not to have it on the exact date – a day filled with grief. “I didn’t want him (Arneil) to have power any more than he already has had,” Chapman says. “For 20 years, he’s breathed stolen breaths.” A candlelight vigil is being organized for Oct. 19 at Valley View Memorial Gardens, where the boys are laid to rest, with details to come.

A new six-lane Pattullo Bridge where the old one now crosses the Fraser River is the public’s top choice out of the main bridge replacement options TransLink has put on the table. But while that choice won out among Surrey and broader Metro Vancouver participants in consultations held in June, it was soundly opposed in New Westminster. Instead, reflecting vocal resistance to heavy traffic rolling through their city, the top choice of New Westminster residents was a new four-lane bridge linking Surrey and Coquitlam, while rehabilitating the Pattullo for two- or three-lane use. The consultation report by a joint review team consisting of TransLink and the cities of New Westminster and Surrey was released Monday. Fifty-eight per cent of North Surrey participants supported the sixlane replacement compared to just 36 per cent in New Westminster. Conversely, 59 per cent in New West backed the $1.5-billion Surrey-Coquitlam option with Pattullo rehab, compared to 43 per cent in North Surrey. And 59 per cent in New Westminster actually supported just a Surrey-Coquitlam link without replacing the Pattullo – cutting their city’s historic crossing of the river altogether. But not rebuilding something where the Pattullo now stands isn’t an option, according to the review team, which says the bypass concept wouldn’t provide the strong road connection needed between Surrey and New Westminster called for in Metro Vancouver’s regional growth strategy. Advocates of the idea said it could increase capacity while directing traffic away from New Westminster streets and allow for better separation of trucks and cars. The review team will consider the feedback, along with financial and technical information. A refined list of alternatives and further findings is to be released later this year.

Frustrations over council chambers i from page 1 but on Monday told council he was swayed to change his vote after learning that a waterfront IT company sought more space. He said he mentioned the possibility of such space in the Fir Street building to the principals of the company – which he identified as Prizebox Entertainment – and made his motion “as a result of their enthusiasm” for it. They would want use of the whole building, he said. Lawrence’s motion passed 4-3, with Robinson, Fathers and Coun. Al Campbell opposed. Fathers told PAN she plans to dig into the issue and “find out what’s transpired behind the scenes.” “It’s the process which is the worrisome thing for me,” she said. “Obviously, there’s been considerable conversation.” Robinson – noting Lawrence’s motion came “right out of the blue” – said he started questioning what was transpiring as soon as the company was named. “It bothered me that a specific entity was being mentioned as a potential tenant for a city property when we didn’t even have an RFP out and we didn’t have any information on that company before us,” Robinson said. Fathers told her peers that the motion “sideswiped” her and makes it look like council “completely ignores” its own bylaws. She cited the city’s Council and Committee Procedure Bylaw

Cost â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;not only considerationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for White Rock

High bid wins water contract Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A contract to determine the market value of White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s privately owned water utility has been awarded to the highest bidder. Council voted unanimously Monday to task KPMG LLP with figuring out the utilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth and assisting the city with negotiating its purchase.

The contract cost is estimated at $21,000-$26,300, plus possible out-of-pocket travel expenses and additional hourly rates for help with negotiations. The firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bid was one of two evaluated. BDO Canada LLP quoted $15,750 plus $5,250 for expenses and negotiation assistance; a third organization declined interest. Financial services director San-

dra Kurylo told council the staff recommendation was based on more than cost. She said criteria included the level of expertise in the process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a very, very important project, a significant decision for the city,â&#x20AC;? she said of the plan to purchase the utility from Edmonton-based Epcor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just a tender where everybody does the same thing.â&#x20AC;?

Solutions needed to solve student debt

ith the average post-secondary student now accumulating $27,000 in loans, according to the Canadian Federation of Students, higher learning is becoming more and more out of reach. Post-secondary education was supposed to be the key to higher earnings, but there’s something seriously wrong with our system if young people are expected to start off their working careers with such a high level of indebtedness. And there has to be more to it than money. Having a well-educated populace should be an inarguable essential for the progressive, wealthy nation we’ve always understood Canada to be. But the wheel has come off our own highereducation wagon, and it’s about time we faced up to it – unless, of course, we believe postsecondary learning should be the right only of a wealthy elite. What’s the solution? Let’s start with a conversation, such as the one happening south of the border right now; one so innovative that policy-makers in Canada should take note. This summer, the Oregon legislature agreed to study a trial program that would allow students to attend state universities with no money down. In other words, no tuition. The catch is that students must contribute a set portion of their future income to the program – essentially paying for their debt. Students would sign a binding contract to pay the state or the institution a certain percentage of their adjusted gross income for a specified number of years following graduation. Lawmakers in Oregon were unanimous in agreeing to the study. And good on them. The Oregon approach is not perfect. For example, the pay-back period could last over 20 years, a long time for people to continue paying schooling costs. There’s likely also a significant upfront cost to government. But the cost of studying the idea is worthwhile. Indeed, it removes financial lenders – and their interest and fees – from the equation. It also removes penalties on students who choose to pursue lower-paid professions. Government doesn’t have money to boost the budgets of post-secondary institutions, but, right now, it’s students who are expected to take the hit. It may not be for everyone, but a Pay Forward, Pay Back program, like that being studied in Oregon, just might give the right students the right help at the right time.

I just wish people would realize that anything’s possible if you try; dreams are made possible if you try.” Although Terry Fox put cancer on the map, the annual run he inspired has sagged in recent years. Fewer participants are turning out and some communities have been forced to cancel the run altogether. That may be the worst thing we could do for the memory of one of Canada’s greatest sons. He deserves better, as does everyone who has ever lost somebody to cancer. I lost my aunt to lung cancer last year. Never give up hope. Never give up the fight.

Nation erodes with truth

Politicizing tragedies

themselves into political niches? How could such tragedies be used for such a purpose? R. MacFadden, Surrey

Editor: Re: Marijuana disclosure blocks entry, Sept. 5. Your article about the young lady who suffered severe repercussions for telling the truth to a border officer was appalling and disgraceful in suggesting that citizens should lie when questioned. The young lady is admirable for being open and honest in replying with a honest and good answer, regardless of its consequences. We are quickly becoming a nation of liars. Teen in school are advised to lie to be popular. Dad or mum white lie to the office of being sick when it is not true. The little child watching grows to follow a well-trodden path. What will become of our nation in future generations, where the vast majority live by half- and shaded truth? Our nations were raised on bedrock, and the foundations are turning into quicksand. Will we be able to call ourselves a parliamentary democracy, when these seeds come to fruition? Your paper is revered for bringing us together as a community in a place where we love to live. This blush of blemish will not long tarnish your good work. Terence Miller, Surrey Editor’s note: The article reported that the woman now questions whether honesty is the best policy at the border.

Editor: Russ Hiebert, MP for South Surrey, White Rock and Cloverdale, has the unmitigated gall to circulate a newsletter/survey asking people to check a box for which political party is doing the most to combat cyber-bullying. Is there any thought that parents, guardians, families and friends who have lost dear ones do not categorize

Problems over time

Tracks already overloaded Editor: Re: Record pace for coal at port, Sept. 3. It comes as no surprise to those of us living within half a mile of the railway tracks through White Rock/Crescent Beach that coal-train traffic is at an all-time high. We just have to go out and look at our cars, patio furniture, window ledges, etc. – covered in black, gritty dust – to know this is our new reality. Add to that the train whistles blasting at all hours of the day and night, the lingering smell of diesel fumes, and the lengthy delays as we try to cross the tracks while waiting for a mile and a half of railway cars to pass, and we realize we are increasingly at the mercy of these behemoths, spewing more and more of their noise and air pollution into our once-peaceful, clean communities. Six years ago, there were five to six trains per day; now there are 18. How did we let this happen without raising the caution flags? Not only must we prevent further expansion of coal ports, we have to reverse the already-destructive levels of train traffic that now assault our neighborhoods. Every area resident should have a “no coal” sign and write letters to governments and agencies that are either promoting or ignoring this expanding menace. Gary McDonald, Surrey

Editor: I read an article on the rising seas. The predictions placed an increase in sea levels caused by melting ice sheets of between 0.2 and 0.4

metres by year 2050. A list of 20 most at-risk cities include New York and Vancouver. The article really makes you think. I myself will be 130 years old in 2050, so I don’t expect to be here. How will Crescent Beach and White Rock be affected, or Cloverdale and in between? Makes you think, we worry so much about the problems we have today about parking cars and coal trains, views of the sea and building heights. It is a worry I cannot accept, but it sure makes you think. Ernie Avory, Surrey

Letter writers suggest decision-makers have little regard for the vulnerable when it comes to collecting their money.

They hurt those who need help Editor: Re: Fraser Health first with wheelchair fees, Sept. 10. I just read the article about Fraser Health charging care residents a monthly wheelchair-rental fee, and I am compelled to respond. I nearly choked on my coffee when I read Fraser Health’s spokesperson Tasleem Juma’s explanation for why they are forging ahead with this tax, even though the rest of the province decided against it. Apparently some paperwork has already been completed and they don’t want people to be confused. Seriously? Shame on Fraser Health for expecting the public to accept such a weak excuse for taxing vulnerable seniors, who have already spent their lives working hard and paying taxes! I’m sure they wouldn’t mind being “confused” about the heaps of paperwork that has been generated, if it means saving $25 per month. The very fact that so much paperwork has already been completed should be a great big wake-up call about the wisdom in administering yet another tax. Jennifer Findlay, Surrey Q Re: Cities eye licensing wheelchair users, Aug. 27. I am following the proposed licensing of electric scooters for the disabled with great interest, having needed to use one for the past few months. To those voting on this move, might I suggest they spend at least one full day using one as their primary means of mobility, before making their decision. They might discover some of the drawbacks faced on a daily basis by those who rely on this type of transportation. I notice the lack of adequate sidewalk space, which as a rule is sufficiently narrow to make passing pedestrians walking in the opposite direction or negotiating one of the benches at bus stops potentially hazardous. Some apartment-block owners neglect the bushes growing in front of their buildings, allowing them to encroach onto the sidewalks – another significant hazard faced by scooter users and pedestrians alike. If we are to be licensed – taxed – does this mean the municipalities will rectify these conditions? As a user, I value the little independence my scooter provides – allowing me to remain an active member of the community by socializing outside my home, rather than leaving me housebound and vegetating. Introducing licensing and testing would require

considerable expenditures that municipalities do not have, nor do they have sufficient staff in place to administer such a program. The municipalities would very likely lose money on the scheme. On the other hand, if councillors are hell-bent on grabbing extra money from anything with wheels, would it not be fair to include skateboards, bicycles and those monstrous over-sized push chairs that young, and notso-young, mothers insist on trying to negotiate around crowded stores? Then, as a last resort, what about the profusion of carts the elderly use to take home their meagre shopping from the supermarket or corner store? Can anyone tell me when, or even if, this kind of nonsense will every stop? The function of city councils is to ensure taxpayer money is not frittered away on frivolous, financially unsound projects. If they cannot come up with anything better than this, perhaps they should not be voted in at the next election. Richard Mahony, White Rock Q Re: Friends rally for Greyson, Sept. 3. Like everyone else who read the article about baby Greyson, I was amazed at the size of the baby and just hope that everything goes well with him. It seems incredible that a baby so small will, with modern medicine, have a good chance to survive. What popped out at me when reading the article, however, was the part about the mom having to walk an extra block at Peace Arch Hospital just to save on the parking. That just made me so angry, that a person should have to worry about parking costs when she was in distress. I am lucky to be able to buy a White Rock pass so, if I have to go to the hospital to visit, I can park out on the street. I know how expensive it can be to park there if you don’t. My daughter was there a few months ago to have labour-induced birth, and her husband spent quite a bit of time with her and paid a fortune on parking. On the other hand, the other day I had to go to Delta hospital and I was so pleasantly surprised that parking was free. I looked at my husband and said, “why can’t Peace Arch have free parking for patients?” It’s just one more way the City of White Rock has to gouge people, because they are so desperate for money. D.

Kicking off the pot petition Tom Fletcher Black Press

A 90-day countdown began Monday for a petition drive to force the effective legalization of simple possession of marijuana in B.C. Volunteers for Sensible BC., led by longtime drug-legalization advocate Dana Larsen, have until Dec. 5 to collect more than 400,000 signatures. Using the same law that forced repeal of the harmonized sales tax, the petition to trigger a provincewide referendum needs support from 10 per cent of registered voters in each of B.C.’s 85 electoral districts. Larsen has proposed that B.C. go around the federal prohibition with a “Sensible Policing Act” that would disallow the use of B.C. police resources

to prosecute simple possession of small amounts of pot by adults. Marijuana-possession cases still account for 60 per cent of drugviolation reports to police in B.C., according to Statistics Canada figures from 2012. But the number of cases declined 10 per cent from 2011. There were 25,432 police-reported incidents of all types of drug offences in B.C. last year, a 7.4 per cent decline from 2011. Marijuana-trafficking cases declined more than 20 per cent to 1,006 incidents, and importation and exportation of marijuana declined by 40 per cent. Marijuana-growing cases declined 4.6 per cent, following a 28.6 per cent drop in 2011.

Unlike Goldstein, the passenger, who holds a NEXUS pass, was not deemed inadmissible. But the attempt to cross, at around 8:30 a.m., led to extensive questioning and hours in a holding room, the passenger said. “I told them I don’t smoke weed anymore, for the reason I get too paranoid,” she said. “The last time was six months ago.” The passenger said the coolness of the CBP member was apparent from her first questions – which included whether they were transporting any drugs – and was maintained through the ordeal. “It was the strangest thing,” she said. “We were forthcoming with all the information we were asked, we were honest, and her attitude to us was just mean, she was absolutely cold.” The passenger said there was nothing flippant or aggressive in Goldstein’s manner that seemed likely to provoke such response. “If there had been, I would have smacked her,” she said. “We wanted things to go as smoothly as possible. We all know how to talk to people with respect. We’re good people. We’re not shady people. We don’t fit that profile.”

Retired teacher Harry Block said he was amazed by what people were willing to do and give once they knew what the project was about and who it would benefit. In addition to the time he spent helping organize the goods for shipment, Block added 14 boxes of school supplies that he’d had in storage since retiring in 2002 to the cache, along with tools that had belonged to his father-in-law. “It was a good time to get involved,” he said. “It’s just been sitting waiting for a project.” Once unloaded in Zimbabwe, the shipping container will be

Cancer ride sets off from White Rock

all goes directly to the cause,â&#x20AC;? said Bell. Sears have donation boxes at the cash register and will be holding fundraising events around the cause. Now into its sixth year, the ride has raised $6 million in B.C. and $30 million across Canada. And the money is making a difference. Positive outcomes for children diagnosed with cancer are growing much higher, with 70 per cent becoming longterm survivors. Emily Degroot is a nurse who works at the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospital in Moncton, N.B. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s her first time riding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get to ride the first half and then I will be a medic for the other half the ride,â&#x20AC;? she said.

After dipping their wheels into the ocean in White Rock, 26 cyclists with the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride stopped at the Langley Sears for a quick breakfast and some cheers of support last week. As quickly as they arrived, the cyclists were off again, beginning their marathon 17-day ride across Canada to raise money and awareness for the fight against childhood cancers. Moving the crowd to tears Thursday, Patrick Sullivan, of Team Finn, shared the story of his toddlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sÂ cancer battle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ride for Finn, who embraced the life he was given,â&#x20AC;? said Sullivan. Sullivanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, Finn, died of cancer in 2008. He was only three. Sullivan held up the courage beads his son was given at B.C. Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital, each bead given for another surgery or

Finn died but he never lost a battle.â&#x20AC;? Through his tears, Sullivan talked about some of Finnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s battles, like having surgeons cut through the boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abdomen and pancreas to remove a tumour the size of a baseball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids go through

stressed that 100 per cent of funds raised at Sears go directly to kids with cancer, research and B.C. Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want customers to know that nothing goes to costs or fees. It

Walk-a-thon to benefit wildlife A walk to raise funds for an organization that specializes in rehabilitating orphaned, sick and injured wildlife takes place next month in Campbell Valley Park. Walk on the Wild Side – benefiting Critter Care Wildlife Society – offers participants a choice of two routes (2 km or 4 km),

followed by a light barbecue and the opportunity to learn more about B.C. wildlife. Located at 481 216 St., Critter Care’s success stories include the rehabilitation of animals found on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. This year, those critters included eight orphaned skunks found in White Rock

and three coyote pups rescued from Cloverdale. Walk on the Wild Side is Critter Care’s fifth annual walk-a-thon, and is set for Oct. 6 at the park’s south entrance, off 8 Avenue. Onsite registration begins at 10:30 a.m., and the walks get underway at 11:30 and 11:45 a.m.

Food for thought Sandwiches in your lunchbox are a time-honoured tradition for many families. With summer vacation over and the kids back in school, bread will be an integral part of the perfect lunch. Your local COBS Bread is ready for you. This year, the company is celebrating 10 years of baking everything from scratch daily. Employees have the lights on and are ready to bake starting at 2 a.m. COBS Bread’s wide range of products includes something for everyone, whether you’re looking for traditional white bread or something a bit different such as their Cape Seed bread, full of nine different grains and seeds. Other healthy choices at COBS Bread include their chia range, which is a good source of omega-3, protein and fibre. This helps keep you feeling full longer, which is something especially important when life gets busy. You’ll also find COBS Bread’s Higher Fiber bread, which tastes like white bread, but is a good source of folate and contains three times the fibre of their traditional white bread. All of COBS breads are preservative-free, making them a healthy choice for the whole family. They are also free of colouring, sugar and dairy, and are made with 100 per cent Canadian wheat. Families can take

advantage of the four block value pack; this includes four loaves of bread at a value price. The loaves include traditional white, whole grain whole wheat and country grain, which contains 100 per cent whole grain whole wheat and 30 per cent assorted grains. But you’ll find more than just bread at COBS Bread. Your local store carries sweet and savoury treats such as cinnamon buns, scones, danishes and croissants. COBS Bread’s first bakery was in Vancouver, and the company has now grown to over 75 locations across B.C., Alberta and Ontario. As part of its focus on the communities it serves, COBS Bread donates all leftover bread to local charities at the end of the day as part of their End of Day Giving program, and participates in many community events each year. The company has donated more than $15 million in bread to charities over the past 10 years, with each bakery location working with up to seven different charities. COBS Bread also supports Nutrikids, a volunteer food, nutrition and health program founded by students at the University of British Columbia.

Local marshes home to various forms of wildlife

Peninsula mud flats are important habitats M

arshes and mud flats are among the most productive wildlife habitats on the planet, yet their value is often poorly understood. Despite international wildlife designations and official protection as Wildlife Management Areas, the Fraser delta foreshore is at risk. Such Anne Murray impacts as invasive species and port development diminish the viability of critical habitats. Not all marshes and mud flats are the same. Extensive marshes of sedges, bulrushes and cattails line the shore between Brunswick Point and Richmond, prime habitat for snow geese and trumpeter swans. This is the active front of the delta, strongly affected by freshwater from the Fraser. Nearby, brackish mud flats on Roberts Bank have areas of biofilm, a surface layer of bacteria and diatoms, that is an important food for western sandpipers. Sandpipers slurp it into their bills during migration rest stops, in a style known as “snot-feeding.” Boundary Bay’s waters, shielded by the Point Roberts peninsula, are much saltier, and the shoreline has the last small remnants of what were once extensive salt marshes. Plants such as Salicornia (sea asparagus), sea arrowgrass, and orache flourish here, as well as the invasive cordgrass, Spartina. In July, brightly coloured strands of the

South Surrey’s Blackie Spit is home to a wide variety of plant and animal life. parasitic plant, salt marsh dodder, look like orange spray paint. Great blue herons roost and feed, and thousands of dabbling ducks gather in fall and winter. With the lower part of the beach inundated by the tide twice daily, life there is adapted to salt water. Nearer the dyke, the marsh is awash only during the highest, stormiest tides, so a wider variety of species can flourish. Canadian goldenrod, Douglas’ aster and

gumweed brighten the Boundary Bay foreshore in late summer. Rodents, such as Townsend’s vole, attract many birds of prey. Strong winter tides reshape the landscape, sending waves crashing over the dykes, tossing giant logs into piles and moving sand around. This is well illustrated by the numerous changes undergone by the Beach Grove lagoons. Semiahmoo Bay has deep marine waters,

eelgrass beds and wide sandy beaches, all of which provide valuable wildlife habitat. Freshwater marshes are found at the mouth of the Little Campbell River, a favourite haunt of waterfowl. The backshore area, once deeply forested and with many freshwater springs and streams descending from the hills, was lost to development with the coming of the railway. Mud Bay, at the eastern end of Boundary Bay, is influenced by the freshwater of the Serpentine and Nicomekl Rivers. This was once the scene of a thriving oyster industry, destroyed by water pollution. Pacific oysters, an introduced species, still grow in abundance at the mouth of the Serpentine. Sheltered tidal marshes around Blackie Spit at the mouth of the Nicomekl are important for migratory birds, including locally rare birds like long-billed curlew, marbled godwit and nesting purple martins. The varied wetland habitats in the Fraser delta are a key reason for the number and diversity of birds found here. Birds do not fly around at random – they are often faithful to precise locations. That is why local birdwatchers know where to look for mountain bluebirds in spring, snowy owls in irruption year winters, and rare shorebirds in late summer. Our marshes and mud flats are complex, vital ecosystems. We must treat them with great respect.

B.C. government plans to convene in spring

Fall legislature not likely Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government is not planning to recall the legislature for a fall session, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said Tuesday. That could change if a labour dispute shuts down public schools, with contracts expired since spring for teachers and school support staff. The government could call an emergency sitting to impose a settlement if the school year is disrupted by strike action. But de Jong, the BC Liberal house leader, confirmed that the scheduled session from October through November will not be held, as has become routine for the BC Liberal government. “The house sat through the summer in the aftermath of the election, and the government wants to take the time to prepare for a robust spring legislative session,” de Jong told reporters Tuesday. After a session to table a preelection budget in February, the

Finance Minister Mike de Jong tables his budget in June. government adjourned in March to begin the campaign, then recalled the legislature in July to debate the budget and ministry spending estimates. NDP house leader John Horgan said Premier Christy Clark apparently prefers “running the government out of a Vancouver office building,” with an agenda almost entirely devoted to liquefied natural gas exports to Asia.

Even if the government isn’t ready to present its taxation plan for LNG, there are issues such as power and water use and greenhouse gas emissions that should be debated, Horgan said. De Jong said he hopes to have a gas export tax plan ready for public view by the end of 2013. Barring an emergency session, the legislature will resume next February.

Warning issued

Jennifer Lang

Black Press

Business owners and merchants in Cloverdale are being warned that thieves are again targeting the area. The warning was issued after a spate of recent late-night break and enters at three local businesses, according to a Heads Up business alert distributed to members of the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association. An alarm consisting of glass sensors and motion detectors was triggered at Western Equipment at 114 5219 192 Street at about 8:11 p.m. Aug. 25. Police found a rear door had been ripped open. The day before, thieves were interrupted breaking into BC Plant Health Care at 184 and 53 Avenue, and two males wearing hooded jackets were spotted fleeing on foot, headed east on 54 Avenue. Four days later, Surrey RCMP responded to an alarm at Elisabeth’s Chalet Restaurant at 17785 56 Avenue. At 12:30 a.m. Aug. 28, thieves broke a front window to gain entry to the building. The police secured the perimeter and cleared the business. No one was found inside. Businesses were also warned about the return of several persons of interest in the area. The alerts are a joint notification program put out by the Cloverdale BIA and the Surrey RCMP’s Port Kells/Cloverdale district office.

Home & Garden PART I

Smart renovations add value to your home

Every homeowner has been told that renovations pay off in the long run. But it is hard to know which ones and how much. In recent years real estate giants have been crunching the numbers and working out formulas to help property owners wrap their heads around what they’re getting out of their renovation investments. Amongst such smart reno investments as kitchens, bathrooms, fresh paint and flooring is the installation of a fireplace. According to the Remax Return on Reno Index, the installation of a fireplace generates an estimated 11 percent return on investment. Advancements in flame technology and auxiliary heating have made incorporating a fireplace into any dwelling an easily, viable option. Dimplex, an innovative leader in this field, tells us that electric units offer realistic flame technology to give your home a quick update. With a sleek design and optional heat output, these units operate for pennies an hour, without the need for a gas line. Utilizing electric units in design and reno planning also allows for great flexibility in room placement and does not require a builder permit or a post-installation inspection. Smart realistic flame technology is offered in an array of decor-friendly styles from mantels and wall-mounts to television console units. The added benefit of on/off heat control lets owners utilize the flame-only option to add ambiance to a room in any season, with or without heat input. Perhaps, one of the most appealing aspects of an electric unit is its easy installation, the simple assembly and plug-and-play design allows for easy set-up.

Putting your garden to bed for the winter With winter fast approaching it is time to say a sad farewell to your garden until next spring. Here are a few jobs to do that will help you to protect your plants from cold winter weather and give yourself a head start next spring. TREES AND SHRUBS The dead wood on trees and shrubs should be cut back during the fall. If this is done while there are still some leaves on the branches it will be easier to distinguish what needs pruning. Spread mulch at the base of your trees and shrubs to protect the roots, and if there is a chance that animals will gnaw at the bark, wrap the trunks with metal or plastic trellises or plastic tubes. Protect your trees and shrubs with burlap or geotextile wraps in November. If you want to transplant a tree, the best time for most species is when the leaves have started to change colours. PERENNIALS AND ANNUALS Don’t be afraid to divide perennials or plant new varieties in the fall, depending on which hardiness zone you live in. The foliage of existing plants should be pruned and then the plants protected with a layer of mulch. Annuals will have to be brought inside in the fall if you want to keep them over the winter. This is also the time to take cuttings and collect the seeds of some of your favourite annuals for next spring.

BULBS Many gardeners are never quite sure what to do with bulbs. In fact, some bulbs and tubers cannot be left in the garden over the winter and have to be lifted from the soil and stored inside in a dark, dry place until it is time to replant them. Fall is, however, the time to plant springflowering bulbs. Don’t hestitate to ask your local garden centre staff for suggestions and tips on which bulbs will need this kind of care.

FALL HOME & GARDEN

www.peacearchnews.com 33

Fall is an ideal time of year to tackle home improvement projects ROOF REPAIR Whether you’re repairing or replacing the roof, fall is a great time of year to dust off the ladder and get some work done on your roof for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, fall is ideal for roof work because you won’t have to be up on the roof with the summer heat bearing down on you. This can make the project move along more quickly, which is especially beneficial if you are paying laborers to work on the roof. The fewer hours workers are fixing your roof, the less you will be paying in labor costs. In addition, fixing up the roof in the fall ensures those winter storms, be it rain or snow, won’t find their way into your home via leaks. A leaky roof in winter is hard to fix, as the roof surface could be treacherous in the winter and winter winds can make it dangerous to be up on the roof at all. Addressing leaks in the fall can prevent damage to your home’s interior, which can mount up if a leaky roof is not addressed until the following spring. WINDOW WORK When the weather outside gets frightful, poorly insulated windows can allow cold air into the home. That often has a trickle-down effect on finances, forcing you to turn up the thermostat in an attempt to offset the cold air pouring into the home. Whether you need your windows replaced or simply need to patch up any leaks, a proactive approach to leaky or older windows in the fall can save you from unnecessarily high heating bills come the winter. Addressing leaky windows also makes a home more comfortable for its inhabitants. Fall is the ideal time to address a home’s windows because the temperature outside tends to be pleasant. This means you likely won’t have to make much of an effort to offset the elements, and open windows in the fall won’t make your home’s interior very hot or cold like they might if

you were to tackle the project during the summer or winter. FIXING THE FLOORS Wood flooring is a hot commodity for many homeowners. But not all flooring can be added to a home at any time of year. That’s because certain types of flooring employ adhesives that need temperatures inside the home to be within a certain range, and that range is often within 700 to 800 F, which makes fall a great time to install such floors. Colder temperatures can make it difficult for the flooring to dry and bond, which will prove problematic down the road. What’s more, many people entertain friends and family come late fall and into the holiday season, and it can be difficult to do so if you are busy installing new flooring. PAINTING PROJECTS Painting is another home improvement project that seems tailor-made for fall. A fresh coat of paint or a new colour scheme around the house can give a home an entirely new look and feel. But paint can be pungent and the aromas may last if it’s applied at a time of year when it can’t dry while the windows are wide open. Paint fumes inside a home can make the home uninhabitable, but painting at a time of year like the fall, when you can keep the windows open during and after the project, can help air the home out. But interior painting isn’t the only painting project homeowners can tackle in the fall. Many exterior paints are temperaturesensitive and need the temperature outside to be above 400 F. Paint that freezes won’t dry properly, and homeowners might be left with a costly and unsightly mistake on their hands. Fall temperatures tend to be amenable to both interior and exterior painting projects, just be sure to check the weather forecast before making your first brush stroke.

Fewer coin payments may speed up bus boarding

Test time for Compass card Jeff Nagel Black Press

TransLink officials say they’re confident their new Compass card will work well and be used by the vast majority of transit passengers despite criticism that those who pay in cash aboard buses won’t be given a valid transfer for SkyTrain. This week, the new payment system started a beta test by 10,000 volunteers – twice as many as TransLink hoped to recruit – ahead of a full launch later this year or early next year. Riders tap Mike Madill their smart TransLink card on blue reader disks as they board a bus or SkyTrain and tap out again on exit – the system will register the trip length and debit their account accordingly. The transfer incompatibility of bus-issued tickets – blasted on social media as a double charge for those who pay cash – stems from TransLink’s decision not to retrofit either all the bus fare boxes at an extra cost of $25 million or else faregates at SkyTrain stations for $9 million.

Transit users will tap the Compass card against readers as they enter and exit the system. Neither fix would have worked for more than a few years and were deemed not cost-effective. But not everyone hates TransLink’s decision. Surrey transportation advocate Daryl Dela Cruz says those who pay in cash infuriate him because they slow down bus boarding, especially when they don’t deposit the right amount. “It causes delays and holds up lines, especially on long and busy bus routes,” Dela Cruz said. “It’s almost a vendetta I have when I see the number of people who pay with cash fares.” He predicts faster boarding as more people swipe cards instead

of dropping coins and expects more buses will actually run on time as a result. Mike Madill, TransLink’s vicepresident of enterprise initiatives, said convenience is the main aim of Compass, but he agreed less cash payment should speed bus boarding. “It’s more efficient and it keeps the lines moving,” he said, noting the new card can be read in less than a third of a second. Cash payers who don’t want to pay again if they transfer from bus to SkyTrain can avoid that by getting a Compass card, so they’ll have a strong incentive to switch. i see page 38

New Compass cards should ‘sell themselves’ says Magill i from page 37 About 6,000 passengers a day pay in cash on buses and transfer to SkyTrain – 1.5 per cent of the 400,000 daily bus users. Other transit systems, including London and Paris, don’t allow cash-paid transfers from bus to trains, and Madill said London saw its share of cash payers drop from 30 per cent to about 2.5 per cent after its similar Oyster card rolled out. For now, TransLink will simply mirror the existing three-zone system and fare structure with the new cards.

Reloadable card The vast majority of transit users who use a monthly pass or a book of pre-paid FareSaver tickets are expected to easily make the switch to Compass cards and find it much less hassle. No longer will they have to go to a retail store each month to buy a new pass or book of tickets. Most will buy a month pass on their card online or over the phone, as well as at vending machines at SkyTrains and some other locations. Those who link their Compass account to their credit card or bank account can have it automatically buy a new monthly pass at the first of each month. For those who prefer the equivalent of soon-tobe-eliminated FareSavers, which offer a discount on a book of 10 tickets, Madill said any amount of prepaid cash put on a card will qualify for a 14 per cent discount. That’s less generous than the 24 per cent discount from cash fares that FareSaver buyers now get. Asked why FareSaver users will pay more under Compass, officials say FareSaver discounts had become “artificially inflated” in recent years because TransLink was only allowed to increase prices for cash fares, not the prepaid tickets. They say the discounts will become consistent under Compass. An auto-load feature will let users program their card to automatically add a preset amount whenever the balance drops below $5. A Compass card that’s lost or stolen can be replaced and the unused balance transferred over, provided the user has registered. “For the customer, it’s going to be way more convenient,” Madill said. Monthly pass users who claim the federal transit tax credit in the past

had to collect their receipts each month. Compass card users who buy the monthly pass option will be able to go online and print out a transaction history to submit instead. Cash can also be used to buy Compass cards at station vending machines in amounts as low as $6.

Responding to concerns that poor residents without bank or credit card accounts will face obstacles, Madill said there will be some additional locations, including a yet-to-be-

P U B L I C N OT I C E

Some question marks remain. TransLink doesn’t know how many riders will forget to tap out with their card as they exit the system and then get charged for travelling the default three zones when they may have only travelled one. It’s not clear what bugs the beta testers may uncover. “We expect things will crop up that we don’t know about and we’ll be able to make some adjustments,” Madill said. Asked if TransLink considered using some discounts or incentives to encourage early sign-ups

– as TReO successfully did in getting motorists to register to pay tolls on the Port Mann Bridge – Madill said it was unnecessary. “We really think that the card will sell itself,” he said. After Compass cards are offered to the general public, the old and new systems will run in parallel for a number of months before the activation of the new faregates – the other part of the $171-million system. It should reduce fare evasion but more value is expected from better data on where transit users go, guiding future transit-system improvements.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Annual Peninsula event to be held at the White Rock Museum and Archives

Exhibit to showcase the power of craft Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

he organizers of Rock, Paper, Scissors: The Transformative Power of Craft would be the first to admit it: the catchall category of arts and crafts has always left something to be desired. Since ancient times, it seems, there has been debate about work that is both practical and decorative at the same time – where does function end and artfor-art’s-sake begin? “There is a pull between what is art and what is craft,” acknowledges Mary Brunet, new executive director of Semiahmoo Arts, co-presenter of the collaboration with White Rock Museum and Archives (14970 Marine Dr.), where the exhibit opened last Friday and will run until Oct. 15. The approach taken by the exhibit – celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Craft Council of B.C. – is to focus on materials, according to Brunet and Semiahmoo Arts president Barbara Cooper. “The idea is that you can take the materials and craft them into something beautiful,” Cooper said. During the exhibit, Semiahmoo Peninsula artists will demonstrate both tradition and experimentation in such media as fibre, metal, wood, ceramic, glass and vellum. Participants include June Bloye, Aryn Bowers, John Butt, Roxanne Charles, Don Fleming, Suzanne Gerard, Elizabeth Glowacki, Don Hutchinson, Colin Hyatt, Lance King, Samantha Knopp, Robert Gary Parkes, Sharon Reay, Anne J. Steves and Diane Zwickel. The historical context will be provided by panels created by museum collections, exhibits and programming director Amanda

Former Peninsula resident Anne Steves working on her piece “A Conversation With My Nationhood.” Sittrop, tracing traditions going back thousands of years – people were carving stone, firing clay and forging metal before the earliest cities were founded. “We’re really excited about the show,” Cooper said. “It’s our first collaboration with the museum. We think it’s going to be a great experience – we could never have a display of this kind at

Semiahmoo Arts, because our space is not set up for it.” Artist Steves, a former Peninsula resident and Earl Marriott Secondary and Emily Carr student who recently completed her MFA at the University of Victoria, demonstrates in “A Conversation With My Nationhood” how crafting traditions and subtleties of artistic expression can be

inextricably linked – even in such boundary-pushing conceptual pieces. While much of her earlier art work focused on drawing, printmaking and painting, in this recent work she found that revisiting traditional sewing, knitting and crocheting techniques helped her reconnect with her Welsh heritage (born in

Swansea, she came to White Rock at the age of 17). “It’s a large fabric piece – a multi-national costume that depicts how my history and the place I came from are tied up in my work today,” she said, noting that it’s a variation of a central piece of traditional Welsh female costume, the bedgwn, or bedgown, which she has cut in the shape of the map of Swansea. “The other piece is related to a photograph in the White Rock Museum and Archives collection – a picture of two girls sitting beside a tent in 1912. Using that as an inspiration, I have crocheted a tent-like shape.” It’s only since finishing her master’s degree that she discovered crafting techniques could become part of her work, she said. “My own history with crafts was growing up with people who had always done them, and of making things with them. “I suppose I’m also looking at why I rebelled against that, what my reaction was to that and why it was so visceral,” she added, noting there is a little anti-craft twist implied in her work. “My grandmother sewed her own clothes and knitted, and as kids we’d get all these horrendous hats and scarves. I learned how to crochet and knit, but I thought I’d forgotten all that. I didn’t realize, until I started using crafts in my work, how much I remembered – some things I seemed to remember innately.” From 1 to 3 p.m. each Sunday during the exhibition, the museum will hold workshops and presentations in which many of the creators will explain and demonstrate their work. For more details and schedule of workshops, visit the museum’s website (www.whiterock.museum. bc.ca) or its Facebook page.

Military historian branches out into the realm of fiction

From the pipe to the pen Jennifer Lang Black Press

At an age when some folks might be easing into retirement, Cloverdale’s James McWilliams has set out on a literary adventure. A military historian, piper, author, composer and former high school teacher, Williams, 75, has crafted a series of historical adventure novels, picking up a creative project begun years ago. The first two installments of the MacHugh Memoirs – set between 1792 and 1836 and featuring the exploits of Rory MacHugh, a piper and Canadian hero – were released last fall. And he’s determined to publish the rest of his adventure series, while finding a wider audience for his fiction and non-fiction works. “You get to my age and you think, ‘If I don’t do it, nobody will see it,’” he says. “I told my doctor, I have to live to at least 122 to get all this stuff done.” Health woes have regretfully cut short his involvement in one of his great passions – playing with a number of pipe bands, including the Langley Legion Pipe Band, the Delta Police Pipe Band and the Vancouver Police Pipe Band. “The last few months, I’ve had to give all that up. But I sure hate not playing.” The plucky Moose Jaw native broke his hip last year, and he

suffers from polymyalgia rheumatica. Marching, he says, is no longer an option. So he turned the pages back to writing fiction. His interest in historical adventures and writing began as a reader. Back in the 1970s, the father of two sons broke his hip in a cycling accident, resulting in a month-long hospital stay. He passed the time reading military adventure novels, like C.S. Forester’s The Gun, the Horatio Hornblower series and others. “I thought, you know, I can do this.” So he started writing a book, right there in the hospital, and he kept it up. In the army, McWilliams had developed an odd sleeping schedule – four hours a night – so, while the rest of his family slum-

bered, he’d be awake from 2:30 a.m., “time to write.” He wrote his stories in longhand, scribbling away at night, later making revisions on a typewriter. He eventually wrote seven novels, he says, admitting, “I did very little with them.” Last November, McWilliams published The Black War-Bonnet and The Fugitives. He wore a traditional kilt at the launch at the Cloverdale Legion, and brought his pipes along, of course. Although retired, something of the high school history teacher shines through in accurate, historical details that pepper his tales of MacHugh, breathing life into a story that begins nearly 200 years ago. First up in the series, The Black War-Bonnet, is about how MacHugh, a 13-year-old boy, is kidnapped by Blackfoot warriors and eventually becomes a lieutenant in the British Army. McWilliams’s novels keeps the action moving along, while weaving in vivid, historic details. The Black War-Bonnet includes footnotes, hand-drawn maps and even music manuscripts. Next year is 100th anniversary of the 46th Battalion, and he hopes the anniversary will spur interest in his non-fiction works about the First World War.

Annual festival to mix traditional and new dances

Flamenco del Mar returns

Alex Browne Arts Reporter

It’s been said that Flamenco is as much a state of mind as a dance and music form. That’s at the core of the work of artistic director and dancer/ choreographer Jill Tunbridge, who will present her 12th annual Flamenco del Mar Festival this Friday and Saturday (8 p.m. both nights) at Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. While she has often travelled to Spain to study flamenco at its most ‘authentic,’ she’s also interested in an underlying unity of world dance – a marriage of music and movement that crosses all cultural lines to become an expression of pure joy and creativity. “It spans all song forms,” she said, in a recent break from rehearsing with students in her South Surrey studios. “It’s just rhythm, and it’s so in-sync.” That’s why Flamenco del Mar shows, while focusing on Spanish Gypsy traditions, eagerly embrace other allied forms, including First Nation powwow dancing and tribal style dance. That’s true of the upcoming show in which Tunbridge’s student dancers and members of her Flamenco del Mar Spanish Dance Company will share the stage with guest flamenco artist Karen

It’s an event intended to celebrate and capture not only the essence of flamenco but the intrinsic power of dance. “It’s going to be full of surprises, a lot of broadening of horizons,” Tunbridge said. “I’m concentrating on really strong, complementary rhythms.” Naturally, the traditional Spanish dance forms – including the alegrias, guajiras, solea, tangos and sevillanas – won’t be neglected. “There will be a lot that’s traditional, for sure – I’m a traditionalist,” Tunbridge said.

Providing additional inspiration for both dancers and audience alike will be the presence of Boothroyd, the flamenco dancer and teacher who is almost singlehandedly responsible for making the Kino Cafe the home and headquarters for many ‘flamencos’ in Vancouver. “We’ve got some beautiful stuff going on,” Tunbridge said. “One of our dancers will be doing her first solo – at the age of six years old.” Tickets ($25, $20 children and seniors, including fees) are available at the playhouse box office, 604-536-7535 or online at www. wrpctix@uniserve.com

Seniors from the Semiahmoo Peninsula proved age is just a number, bringing home a cache of hardware from the recent BC Seniors Games. Longtime friends LaVerne Brown, 73, and Floyd Stanley, 71, brought home gold medals in tennis, in the mixed doubles age 70-74 category, at the annual event held in Kamloops, Aug. 20-24. “We made a good team,” Stanley said, noting with a laugh that this year was the first time they had played together at the Games. “It was very worthwhile and lots of fun.” The athletic duo played for all four days of the competition, with Stanley adding to his workout by competing in the men’s single age 70-74 category, netting himself a bronze in that division. “We’re both quite competitive,” Stanley said. “It’s not easy bringing home the gold.” The duo, who have an extensive athletic background, have been playing tennis for the last 14 years, with many matches enjoyed at the White Rock Tennis Club. For Brown, picking up the racket came at the suggestion of her husband. The avid golfer was skeptical to trade in her clubs at first, but soon fell in love with the game. For Stanley, the former physical education instructor began teaching the sport in class, enjoying it so much that he took his instructors course. “You can tell the difference between seniors who are healthy and active and the ones who aren’t,” Brown said. “I say it adds years.” Stanley noted that the win wasn’t only beneficial to their health, but a note of pride for the senior community in White Rock and South Surrey. “The reaction from friends is that you did us all proud,” he said. “When I think of my dad, he i see page 49

Rugby League hits pitch in South Surrey

Timler shines for Bulldogs

Enjoy life! Leave the details to us.

Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Saturday at South Surrey Athletic Park, Peninsula rugby player Adam Timler put on quite a show for the 200-plus fans who came out to watch the B.C. Bulldogs battle a Rugby League side from the Western USA. Timler, a member of the Bayside Sharks, scored two tries – “Both spectacular tries,” noted Bulldogs coach Andy Blackburn, himself a South Surrey native – to help lead the ‘Dogs to a 54-12 win over their U.S. opponents. The game was the first leg of a two-game exhibition series between the two sides, with the second match set for Oct. 13 in Newport Beach, Calif. Prior to Saturday’s main event, the Bulldogs’ junior team – which Blackburn said was essentially made up of Bayside’s U15 boys team – played an intrasquad game. Rugby League – which differs from both traditional 15-a-side and sevens rugby – is gaining steam in B.C. The Bulldogs are in their second year of play, and a local league features teams from Surrey, Richmond, Kelowna, Vancouver and, next year, Seattle. Rugby League is similar to football in that each team has six attempts to move down the field and score. After the sixth attempt, possession changes hands. There are 13 players per side, and there are fewer kicks – penalty kicks are worth two points, rather than the usual three, and drop-goals are just one point

B.C. Bulldogs’ Adam Timler (right) runs upfield en route to his second try of the game during Saturday’s Rugby League contest against a team from the Western United States. – which makes it a very “tryheavy” game. “There’s definitely more of an emphasis of scoring tries,” said Blackburn, also an assistant coach with the Canadian Wolverines’ rugby league program. “It’s a lot faster, and the ball spends more time in the field of play,” he added. The game is gaining steam on the Peninsula, Blackburn added, and fans of the sport will have new opportunities this fall to

check out the action. On Oct. 27, the Canadian Wolverines’ development side will play at South Surrey Athletic Park against a visiting all-star team from Australia. As well, Blackburn said South Surrey Athletic Park is now the official home of the Bulldogs, so future international contests will also be held there. “It should attract some good teams, and should be good for the sport in the area,” he said.

Eagles to take flight Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

There’s an awful lot new about this season’s edition of the Surrey Eagles – from the head coach and general manager to more than threequarters of the roster. Even the team’s uniforms are new – the defending BC Hockey League champions sported new green threads at last weekend’s season-opening BCHL Showcase event in Chilliwack. The Eagles went 1-1 in Chilliwack under new head coach/general manager/president Peter Schaefer, and will play their home opener

at South Surrey Arena Friday, 7 p.m. against the Langley Rivermen. On Saturday, Surrey will host Coquitlam. With so many new faces in the lineup – just

five players from last year’s team are back – Schaefer was pleased with how his team looked in the first two games, and expects the team to be even better as the new teammates continue to bond. “I thought the guys battled really hard (on the weekend),” he said. “It’s always tough to get guys to feel comfortable at first – they’re coming from all different teams and leagues, but we’ll gel as we move forward.”

Pair likely to play for Abby Heat i from page 45 “Even when we separated in our junior careers we always ended up meeting in the finals,” smiled Brossoit. “It was awesome, there was some pride and competitiveness within the friendship. A lot of people can’t say that they played against their best friend in a WHL final.” Teammates for many seasons before becoming friendly rivals in the WHL, they will likely be on the same side again. Barring the unexpected, both are likely to be living at home in Surrey while playing for the Flames farm

team in the American hockey League – the Abbotsford Heat. “It’s a win-win situation for me,” said Wotherspoon. “It would be amazing to play in Calgary and play in a great city. But even going back to Abbotsford there’s a lot of great things there. It would be an honour to play for them, and have a lot of friends and family at the games.” “To have the chance to play in your backyard is a pretty cool feeling,” Brossoit said. “I can even live at home, I’m so close.” Maybe just five minutes away from his teammate.

Tennis players lead medal charge i from page 45 could not have done what our generation is doing. We’ve got to stay fit and you have to work out.” Joseph Incantalupo, who is also a co-ordinator for the Games, brought home the gold for men’s doubles in the 74-79 age group. The South Surrey senior noted that while winning was a wonderful experience, more important to him was seeing seniors of all ages on their feet and getting active. “If you have motivation in your life, it helps you maintain your health,” he said. It wasn’t just tennis players who brought home medals. South Surrey’s Kerbey Young won a rainbow of medals for table tennis, with a bronze in mixed in the 60-64 age group, a gold in men’s doubles (60-64) and silver in men’s single (60-64). The 62-year-old had gotten back into the sport at the encouragment of his friend and local teacher Don Fleming after nearly 15 years, as he neared his retirement last year.

Tennis players LaVerne Brown (centre) and Floyd Stanley (fourth from left) accept medals at the BC Seniors Games in Kamloops. Young’s co-workers had also come together to support his athletic endeavor, gifting him with the more-than-$300 paddle he used at the Games. “(The Games) were a lot of fun. Probably the biggest thing for me was the people I ended up meeting and the social aspect,” he said. “I’m really realizing that people who are older, at the next stage beyond me, you think of dementia and Alzheimer’s and

all those things. I’m noticing a lot that people who are socially inactive spend too much time alone. With this whole social network I’ve become a part of, this group is active and engaged and they’re learning new things. “More than being a superstar, it’s those things that are really something important.” For more information on the Seniors Games, visit www. bcseniorsgames.org

Waterside living in Yaletown with Paciﬁc Point By Kerry Vital

Yaletown is one of Vancouver’s most popular and vibrant neighbourhoods, with some of the best shopping, dining and recreation in the city. Now Bosa Development is staking its claim in the area with Pacific Point, a former rental building that Nat Bosa purchased and turned into luxury condominiums. Every suite has been completely renovated, with new appliances, new decor and new plumbing.

“It’s rare that Nat Bosa puts his name to something,” says George Wong of Magnum Projects. “This is one of those rare opportunities. This is the first thing that has caught his eye in a long time ... he fell in love with the location.” There are 214 condos in the building, ranging from 450 to 1,680 square feet. “Response has been overwhelming for Pacific Point,” says Bosa Sales and Marketing Manager Lisa Murrell. “There simply isn’t anything like it in Vancouver.”

Homeowners will enjoy the amazing views of False Creek, George Wainborn Park, David Lam Park, English Bay and downtown Vancouver, as well as the easy access to everything Yaletown has to offer. Restaurants, nightlife and shopping are right on the doorstep, as well as the seawall and transit. Homes are move-in ready and start at $344,900. For more information, visit www.pacificpointcondos.com, call 604-6850855 or visit the sales centre at 1323 Homer Street any day except Fridays, from noon to 5 p.m.

There is no shortage of things to do in Vancouver, from shopping on Robson Street, above, or Main Street, bottom right, cycling on the Stanley Park SeaWall, top right, or going for a swim in the pool at Kitsilano Beach, middle right.

Vancouver tops for living and playing By Kerry Vital

Vancouver was recently voted as one of the top three most livable cities in the world, and it’s not hard to see why. With tons of amazing restaurants, gorgeous scenery, plenty of opportunities for shopping and beautiful homes, Vancouver truly has everything you can possibly imagine. One of Vancouver’s most well-known landmarks is Stanley Park, the 400-hectare park that recently celebrated its 125th birthday and has been designated a national historic site. With it’s nearly nine kilometres

of SeaWall, several beaches and acres upon acres of green space, Stanley Park is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream. It also holds several dining spots, the Vancouver Aquarium, Malkin Bowl, a pitch-and-putt golf course, a pool and a water spray park, among other attractions. If indoor pursuits are more your forte, you’ll find plenty to love in Vancouver with its array of arts and cultural opportunities. From the Queen Elizabeth Theatre to the Vancouver Art Gallery to the University of British Columbia Museum of Anthropology, you’ll find plenty of options for whatever you’re in the mood for. Sports fans aren’t left out either with the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena or the B.C. Lions or Vancouver Whitecaps at B.C. Place. Perhaps some fine dining is on the menu; a wish that Vancouver has no problem fulfilling. Picking a great restaurant can be as easy as choosing a neighbourhood and taking a walk around. You may find your new favourite dining spot completely by accident.

Speaking of neighbourhoods, each one has its own style. Kitsilano, with its trendy shops, dining and the famous Kits Beach, is a haven for healthy living. Among the homes here is Kits360, a condominium development that gives residents access to every amenity that Kits has to offer along with gorgeous homes. If sophisticated living is what you crave, you’ll find the perfect home at Bosa Development’s Pacific Point in Yaletown. Pacific Point has gorgeous views of False Creek and downtown Vancouver, making it a spectacular place to live if you want to take advantage of the vibrant lifestyle in the neighbourhood. When you need a bit of retail therapy, you’ll find plenty of places to exercise your credit card. From Granville Island with its eclectic mix of independent shops and the Public Market to the trendy South Granville area to Robson Street and its mix of high-end and budget shops, including the brand-new Canadian flagship Victoria’s Secret store, there are a variety of options for any taste.

Before buying compare space & water heating costs When you’re house-hunting, choosing a home with natural gas for space and water heating can save you money. Believe it at fortisbc.com/calculator. *These are approximate savings based on the difference between annual natural gas and electricity costs for space and water heating of a 2,300 square-foot house with average insulation and four occupants in the FortisBC Lower Mainland service area. Calculation compared standard-efﬁciency natural gas furnace and large storage tank water heater with electric furnace and equivalent water heater and is based on FortisBC natural gas rates as of May 2013 ($9.35/GJ) and electricity rates in the service area identiﬁed (Tier 1 and 2: $0.071 and $0.109 per kWh).

OBITUARIES

108 BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES BYHRE, Noella Dec. 22, 1919 - Sept 3, 2013 A WOMEN WELL LOVED AND A LIFE WELL LIVED Noella passed away peacefully at the Dr. Al Hogg Pavilion in White Rock where she spent the last few weeks of her life happy and with loved ones. At nearly 94 Noella lived such a long, healthy and full life, she was predeceased by husband, Irivine, brothers Fernand and Earnest and sister Laurette. She is survived by her sisters Gladys, Lorrainne & Beulah, daughter Karen Hampton (Bill), grandson Byron Hampton (Cathy), granddaughter Kim Houlihan (Scott and daughter Meghan), great grandchildren Zachary and Maddison Hampton. Born into a poor but strong French Canadian family in Jackfish Lake Saskatchewan Noella moved West in the 1930’s, settled in the Lower Mainland in the 1950’s and finally in White Rock in the early 1970’s. Noella spent much of her life working with mentally challenged adults who she lovingly referred to as “her children”. A welder for Boeing during the war, buying and selling neighborhood grocery stores, Noella’s life and careers were as diverse as the span of history that she lived through. For the past 30 years Noella was an active volunteer in the White Rock Community. Known to so many as Grandmamma, she touched many lives, brought so much joy & inspiration to all who knew her. At Noella’s request there will be no service. Our love and fond memories will be with her forever. The family wishes to thank the 5th floor staff at Peach Arch Hospital, the staff at the Dr. Al Hogg Pavilion, a special thank you to Dr. Valerie Raffle for years of warm and loving care. Adieu Noella notre amour est avec vous pour l’eternite
