White Rock mourns

CCTVs explored by councillors

Remembering Mary-Wade

Only one opposes cameras

Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The City of White Rock is in mourning this week, following news of the passing of longtime Coun. Mary-Wade Anderson.

The senior politician died at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, four weeks after being admitted to Peace Arch Hospital with complications from a heart procedure. She was 84.

“I kept saying… you have to hang on, you have to hang on,” friend Marilyn Rice said Wednesday, recalling conversations she’d had with Anderson in recent days. “But it just wasn’t going to work.”

Told by doctors that her heart was failing, Anderson had been anxiously waiting to visit with the long-lost daughter who she had reunited with briefly in April after 50 years apart. She believed a complication that was delaying Ginny Awakuni from obtaining a U.S. passport was about to clear.

But it didn’t happen in time.

After news Wednesday morning that her passport application has been denied, Awakuni told Peace Arch News from Texas that it is “very unlikely” she’ll get the chance to bid a proper farewell to her mother.

Awakuni’s son, Michael Montgomery – Anderson’s grandson – was due to fly in to Bellingham see page 5

After 12 years of serving White Rock, Mary-Wade Anderson died Tuesday in Peace Arch Hospital.

Much to the disgust of one White Rock politician, city staff have been asked to look into the cost, necessity and legality of installing surveillance cameras along the city’s waterfront.

“I think it’s a total waste of time,” Coun. Helen Fathers said Monday, during discussion of a motion put forward by Coun. Al Campbell.

“I cannot believe we’re even having a conversation about having security cameras on our beach. I’m Helen Fathers very disturbed by this.” ‘waste of time’ Campbell alerted council June 11 that he wanted the concept explored, citing a need for a system that will help deter crime, gather information on what’s happening in the area and preserve safety.

Monday, he acknowledged that the suggestion – reported June 14 in Peace Arch News – “caused a little bit of emotion around town,” but didn’t back down on his feeling that “it’s the right thing to do.”

He told council he was spurred to raise the issue by the recent train protest. see page 4

Residents group voices concern over ‘administrative review’

Spectre of South Surrey highrise plan still looms Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

The recent decision to update the Semiahmoo Town Centre plan will reopen the debate over housing density in South Surrey, a local community activist predicts.

However, a Surrey councillor who cast his vote for an interim overhaul of building-size limits for the area around the shopping mall describes it as an administrative matter, nothing more.

Semiahmoo Residents Association president

David Cann is concerned about a May 28 Surrey city council vote that approved an interim land use and density concept plan for the land around the area of 152 Street and 16 Avenue until a local area plan has been finalized.

Cann views the interim plan as a slightly modified version of a controversial 2008 proposal that would have added six highrise towers – with heights up to 36 storeys – to the shopping-centre site. That plan was withdrawn by the then-owners of the shopping centre after

the global economy fell into a recession.

Cann complains the new plan, as approved by council, could allow up to three towers of substantially more than 20 storeys with other buildings that together would create an overall density greater than the 2008 proposal.

“It changes it, if you like, to make it worse,” Cann said, shortly after city council voted unanimously to approve the temporary new development guidelines for the area. see page 4

RCMP has dropped sharply.

In fact, that is likely the main reason the mess hall has made the news and attracted public interest.

If the RCMP was operating in the manner that most of us would like to see, such a proposal would be of minimal interest to the public and the news media.

As it turns out, Surrey council has no real power over whether the mess hall goes ahead or not.

The provincial government has to grant a liquor licence, but ultimately the RCMP are a federal agency and local government has no power over them.

The RCMP say that the mess hall will be open for limited hours. The mess hall has a policy that those who are drinking to the point that they shouldn’t drive can get free taxi rides home.

These are paid for by individuals through membership fees – not by taxpayers.

Given the legitimate concern that members of the public have about drinking and driving, and police’s role in enforcing drinking and driving laws, there should be absolutely no tolerance of any RCMP member driving from the mess hall with more than .05 blood alcohol content.

If those conditions are followed, I see no reason why the mess hall should not go ahead.

news Public outcry over licensed mess hall planned for new headquarters in Green Timbers

Surrey’s veto of RCMP pub lacks punch Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Surrey civic leaders want an end to RCMP plans for a liquor licence for its new headquarters in Green Timbers Urban Forest.

However, as a senior level of government, the Mounties don’t need Surrey’s permission in the first place.

On Monday, Surrey council considered a liquor application by E-Division for its mess hall. Council said it will recommend the Mounties be eligible for special-events permits only, and do away with plans for regular bar hours.

The public reacted angrily and swiftly last week to reports that the RCMP’s new

$263-million headquarters in Green Timbers Urban Forest would include a fully licensed 500-seat mess hall capable of serving up to 1,200 people.

Political will at the local level was lagging before Monday’s council meeting. Mayor Dianne Watts said she didn’t like the idea of a full bar at the RCMP headquarters.

“I don’t think anyone has an issue if you have a regimental dinner, or if you have a party for veterans or retirement,” Watts said.

“I think the other piece (the permanent pub), they need to have a look at that.”

While council’s support was ultimately unnecessary for the project to proceed, some councillors felt the application came forward

as a measure of goodwill with the city.

Coun. Marvin Hunt said he was amazed to see the application on the city’s agenda.

“Why is it even before us?” Hunt said Monday. “I have a sneaking suspicion that this shouldn’t be on the agenda whatsoever.

“I’ve never heard before of the federal government ever asking the local government’s permission to get a provincial government licence… The reality is, they can do whatever they want because they’re the federal government.”

RCMP Cpl. Bernie Conroy told Black Press Friday that the hall would be used for other purposes than just a bar, including regimental dinners and veterans’ celebrations. He also

noted a bar currently exists at RCMP headquarters’ current location in Vancouver.

“Currently, the mess in Vancouver is open from about 3:30 (p.m.) to about 8 o’clock at night,” Conroy said, adding there are tight controls around alcohol consumption.

And if someone has had too much, officers can use a safe ride program where Mounties can take a taxi home for free.

Conroy noted the mess hall and safe-ride program is paid for entirely by the RCMP membership dues, much like a legion hall.

Surrey council wasn’t sold on the idea.

Coun. Barinder Rasode said mess halls have been a long-standing tradition but notes it may be time for that tradition to end.

City engineer Amer Afridi explains to rallying residents why a crosswalk won’t help slow traffic at the intersection of 168 Street and 57A Avenue.

Traffic count indicates too few pedestrians to warrant crosswalk

Parents plea for safe crossing in Cloverdale Jennifer Lang Black Press

Residents asking for a crosswalk in their Cloverdale neighbourhood took their demands to the street earlier this month, picketing on the busy corner of 168 Street and 57A Avenue during a Wednesday rush hour.

Nearly two-dozen protesters – who ranged from grandmas and moms to elementary school students and a toddler or two – waved signs reading ‘Keep our Children Safe,’ ‘Safety First’ and ‘Give Us A Cross Walk.’

Many motorists racing past in the afternoon rush honked and waved in support, but didn’t slow down much, inadvertently underscoring the residents’ concerns.

“Every day you try to cross here, it’s a nightmare,” said Chrissy Burbank, a mother of two.

Her youngest attends nearby Surrey Centre Elementary, while her teen goes to Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary, making for several crossings a day by foot or car.

“We’re never sure if we’re going to get hit by a car,” she said.

Residents trying to turn onto 168 Street from 57A Avenue wait for a break in the stream of

traffic, or wind up driving through the subdivision to 60 Avenue, adding to congestion around the elementary school at drop-off and pick-up times.

Protest organizer Trudy Hemrick said she’s grown frustrated by the city’s refusal to install a crosswalk across 168 Street at 57A Avenue, an intersection that connects pedestrians and drivers with nearby Surrey Centre Elementary.

She pointed to local amenities like a park, and a farm-fresh produce stand at 168 Street and Highway 10 – places she and her neighbours would like to be able to walk to without fear of being mowed down.

The commotion of the demonstration attracted the attention – and immediate support – of Ravina Chand, a nurse who lives on the northeast corner of 168 Street and 57A Avenue.

“I live right there and I watched a woman die on my front lawn,” she said. “She got T-boned.

I’ve seen people getting hit on a bike. At 2:30 in the morning, people drive down here at highway speeds.”

Chand said she won’t allow her teenage sons to cross the street, and has witnessed children running across 168 Street so they don’t get hit.

“They shouldn’t have to do that,” she said, stressing she’d like the city to do everything in its power to improve safety on her corner.

A count performed by the City of Surrey found just five people an hour cross the street there – insufficient numbers for a crosswalk.

City engineer Amer Afridi, who met with protesters, promised to take further steps, such as performing another count at longer intervals than the previous one, and looking into adding a left-hand turn lane and other line adjustments to slow traffic.

“The crosswalk is definitely not an answer for this intersection,” he said.

ICBC records show there have been 17 crashes at the intersection between 2007 and 2011; one involved a cyclist, another a pedestrian.

According to ICBC, the most dangerous intersection to cross on foot in the area is 64 Avenue and 176 Street, with six pedestrians struck between 2007 and 2011. The second worst is 56 Avenue (Highway 10) and 177B Street, with five pedestrians hit over the same span.

Four pedestrians have been struck between 2007 and 2011 at the intersection of 168 Street and 60 Avenue, ICBC says.

One man has been arrested in connection with a series of robberies at Booster Juice stores in South Surrey and Langley this month.

That’s according to Lisa Swift, who owns two Booster Juice stores in both communities that were robbed by a man who threatened staff with a knife.

Swift says she was contacted by police on Tuesday, who informed her a suspect is in custody and would be appearing in Surrey Provincial Court the next day, where he is expected to enter a plea to multiple robbery-related charges in Surrey and Langley.

She was also told the man, if convicted, faces a possible sentence of three to five years.

“I am very pleased,” Swift said.

The description of the suspect in each robbery was similar — a male Caucasian in his 20s, wearing a hoodie and a glove on one hand, who threatened the store staff with what appeared to be a knife.

Security video footage of the Langley store holdup shows a suspect wearing sunglasses and a baseball hat with “Police” embroidered on the front.

The incident was one of at least three in recent days: On June 3, the Booster Juice outlet at 15161 Hwy. 10 in South Surrey was robbed at 7:30 p.m. by a man with a knife.

On June 7, another South Surrey Booster Juice store, at 15355 24 Ave., was robbed around 2:30 p.m.

And on June 11, the Langley Booster Juice outlet at 20159 88 Ave. was robbed around 5:15 p.m.

In each case, the robber fled on foot with a few hundred dollars.

No one was reportedly hurt in the holdups, but the incidents “traumatized” staff, said Swift, who released video of the Langley holdup in the hopes someone would recognize the robber.

Councillor lauded for her dedication from page 1 Airport Wednesday afternoon and make his way to White Rock, a trip that had been planned following the knowledge that Anderson’s time was short.

As uncertainty hangs over when a memorial will be held, the City of White Rock is planning to pay tribute to Anderson at the start of the July 9 council meeting.

Mayor Wayne Baldwin confirmed a byelection will be held to fill her seat, and expects it will take place in the fall.

Anderson will no doubt be remembered for the feisty – yet proper – presence she added to council since 2000.

Anderson had called White Rock home since 1983, but became an increasingly familiar – and popular – face after joining the city’s political scene.

Given to making grand pronouncements in the precise diction of her English homeland, the former nurse, real-estate agent and businesswoman was never one to shy from expressing her opinion in the years that followed.

Amidst the controversy around building heights in White Rock, she held fast in her support of Bosa Properties’ four-tower Miramar Village project. More recently, she left no doubt she was fed up with having to constantly revisit the Marine Drive pay-parking issue.

Baldwin – who was city manager when Anderson was first elected – said her propensity for one-liners

“She had some great zingers,” Baldwin said, recalling one “particularly raucous” public hearing, when Anderson was booed.

“I may be an old hen, but I can still peck,” Anderson shot back.

Baldwin also recalled Anderson’s passion for the Peace Arch Hospital, and her efforts in the campaign to see the facility’s fifth and sixth floors completed.

When she herself ended up a patient herself on the sixth floor, she lined the windowsill of her room with photos of her family.

As a councillor, Anderson was passionate about the region and often raved about being involved with Metro Vancouver and the Lower Mainland Treaty Advisory Committee. She regarded having the opportunity to contribute to both as an honour.

Anderson had quietly struggled with health issues in recent years, often attending PAH emergency ward to correct an irregular heartbeat, before beginning the

process 2½ years ago that led to a heart procedure she described as “better than magic.”

On March 6, doctors in Vancouver slid a piece of cow artery into place through the femoral artery, replacing a faulty valve.

“Through the artery, to the heart to smack, and all of a sudden your heart is beating away.

It’s incredible,” she told PAN. Less than two months later, she travelled to Blaine to reunite with Awakuni and the son she had also not seen for 50 years.

The year leading up to the heart procedure was a tough one. But throughout, Anderson was determined not to let her city down.

“She was so good for the community,” Rice said. “She loved White Rock.”

When PAN last spoke with Anderson on June 12, she was set on getting back to council and on with life as soon as possible.

As word of her death spread, tributes to the popular lady who sat three seats right of the mayor during council began to pour in.

Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg described the news as “a surprise and painful.”

He described Anderson as a great hostess and lifelong student – especially on the history of Winston Churchill and the monarchy.

Former mayor Judy Forster said she had never worked with anyone as dedicated to serving her constituents as Anderson.

Keep a close eye on interest rates

T

he real estate industry can breathe a sigh of relief, as can many homeowners.

The Bank of Canada said earlier this month that, despite initial rumours to the contrary, interest-rate increases aren’t likely in this country any time soon, given the economic uncertainty in Europe and many challenging economic situations across the world.

In that environment, an interest-rate increase will just cause more trouble.

Nonetheless, homeowners with large mortgages would be wise to try to lock in low rates for as long as possible and, at the same time, do all they can to reduce their total debt.

Interest rates will not stay this low forever, just as they didn’t stay at 20 per cent in the early 1980s.

Those high rates had a lot to do with the last significant housing price correction in the Lower Mainland.

At that time, some people simply walked away from their homes. It was a situation very similar to that in many U.S. cities in the past four years.

Here, the housing market has been very stable since the late 1980s.

Prices fluctuated in the 1990s, but for the most part they have been on a steady upward trajectory.

In recent years, prices have jumped to levels where many people are having difficulty buying a home.

This is particularly true of single-family homes. Only low interest rates have kept many people in the market.

Interest rates also have other effects, on retired people on fixed incomes. Low interest rates cut deeply into their purchasing power, as they are dependent on investment income for at least part of their income.

A long period of low interest rates, as we have seen, can wreak havoc on pension plans. It all makes for many challenging situations. Saving is of limited benefit, but so is borrowing too much.

The best approach is to keep expenses under control and pay close attention to interest rates.

yes 66% no 34% 121 responding of the jurisdictions – not Oregon, not Switzerland, not the Netherlands, not Belgium and not Washington state — have experienced a flurry of such deaths; nor has there been any indication that the legality of the practice has led to other vulnerable people being killed; nor have suicides in general risen in those jurisdictions.

Those are the three main areas of concern put forward by those opposed to physician-assisted suicide, including Euthanasia Prevention Coalition of B.C., and the Christian Legal Fellowship.

However, as was noted in Justice Lynn Smith’s decision, there exists in Canada the right of patients to refuse to be resuscitated in a hospital if they stop breathing or if their heart stops.

That decision is made by the patient when they are fully capable of making such a decision and the legal standard governing the practice is informed consent, which is precisely what would be used in the cases of assisted suicide.

The issue truly can be approached in a simple and clear manner – the person who wishes to be euthanized if their medical condition reaches an intolerable point for them must be the only person to make that decision, and that decision must be made well before the disease incapacitates them.

There are also arguments from those who contend that assisted suicide is a form of man playing God. Based on that argument, one could counter that we are playing God from the moment we take an Aspirin to battle a headache.

letters Peace Arch News

Opportunities abound for us Editor: Re: Rare opportunity inhibited, June 19 letters.

It is not clear in his letter what exactly letter-writer Grant Humaniuk would have his children do if they were any closer to the beached whale while it was dying.

His children did get a valuable lesson that day. Everyone on the beach was privileged to experience firsthand a valuable lesson in life; to see people that are willing to stand up and protect those that are helpless to protect themselves, to honour and respect all living creatures.

I am thankful for the RCMP, Friends of Semiahmoo Bay Society and, especially, for the members of Semiahmoo First Nation on hand to assist and ensure this noble creature was treated with dignity, and that the spirit of the whale was honoured.

Maybe it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, or maybe not. It all depends on the life path that you and your children choose. There are many paths and opportunities to learn about the oceans and the creatures and plants that live there and how to preserve this life force.

See the invitation from Friends of Semiahmoo Bay Society published on the same page (Lesson’s from a young whale’s death, June 19). As well, if you took the time to learn the ways of our neighbours, Semiahmoo First Nation, you would learn even more. Maybe, if we all did our part, a tragedy such as this will not reoccur.

And maybe, in your walk to learn about the oceans and become a steward to protect, an opportunity may arise where you are up close and personal with a living member of the whale family.

I have been blessed many times with these encounters.

If you still wonder why the area was cordoned off, think on the many possibilities: • in my point of view, the whale was murdered, albeit accidently, and the crime scene had to be contained during the investigation; • safety – if the whale rolled over and crushed one of your children, I don’t think you would be happy about that; and • preserve the dignity in death this life form deserves.

Lobbying for a better system Editor: Re: Perspective on the problem, June 7 letters.

Would letter-writer David Riley please explain what he calls a “100 per cent tax writeoff ” of corporate expenditures on lobbying governments?

Is that a full deduction from tax owing or a deduction from income, thus only a saving at the marginal tax rate of much less than 100 per cent? How does that compare to deductibility of expenses of the

many non-business organizations who lobby government? How much money do they spend on lobbying in various ways?

My understanding is that the recent political debate was over deductibility of payments to those organizations by the payers – a.k.a. charitable contributors, who include individuals and large activist trusts.

In other words, the debate was over a tax benefit to those who provide income to the organization, not over expenditures of the organization.

Of course, if government were reduced to the essential of protecting individuals against the initiation of force – defence and justice functions – lobbying by anyone would not be a very attractive use of time and money.

Instead, Canada has a tax system that facilitates all manner of promotion of ideas, often by subtle means, such as claiming to help immigrants understand Canada.

Keith Sketchley, Saanich

The critters ain’t starvin’ Editor: Why, when people are politely asked not to feed the squirrels, do they continue to do so?

When asked not to leave food out on their sundecks, they do. When signs are put up and minutes are printed with the same message – adding fines – they are ignored.

Any food attracts rodents and their associates: raccoons, crows, wasps, seagulls, mice, bats – yes, bats; my cat, Ed, caught one – and birds, whose population is now down by one after squeezing itself through the hole in my screened-in deck, put there by an inquiring squirrel who reversed direction immediately on finding a grinning Ed staring back at him. The bird was not so lucky.

And, bringing up the rear my all time favorite scavengers… ants.

I have better things to do than track down a wobbling line of fat ants that, when blasted with Raid, do not explode as in the TV commercial or get hysterical and make a run for it. They play dead and are rescued and resuscitated by their own medivac team. How do I know this? They are gone in the morning.

Squirrels rip screens, chew electrical cords and dig up flowers and bulbs to plant peanut trees.

And, if a grey squirrel gets into your suite, it will immediately go insane, poop while scrambling over a cooling pie, then head straight for the flour and sugar containers, the end result being white-out conditions.

Do not grab the hose attachment on the faucet. You will miss and the two above ingredients, when combined with water, create cement.

One should simply grab what’s left of the pie, throw it out onto the deck, and, after the varmint skids after it, slam the door. This will show it you are very annoyed. They care about these things, they’re sensitive.

The critters ain’t starvin’.

Making space for good news Editor: I have recently returned home after spending time in the Peace Arch Hospital and in emergency.

I received such excellent care from everyone, too many to list, the doctors, nurses, technicians, the paramedics.

Must not forget the good food.

I hope you will find a space to print my appreciation.

Joyce Melnychuk, Surrey Q A little good news goes a long way!

Thank you so much to the wonderful couple who found, and were able to return my eyeglasses, by using the lost-and-found section in the Peace Arch News.

And thank you that your classifieds continue to have a “lost and found” section, and that people can still file “found” ads without any cost to them.

The news is usually full of bad people doing bad things. It’s honest people – like the couple who found and returned my glasses – who restore our faith in others.

It’s extremely important to remember that the many good people in White Rock and South Surrey vastly outnumber the few “rotten apples” who disproportionately capture the lion’s share of newspaper headlines.

AirCare should be expanded – not dumped – writes Canadian Office & Professional Employees Union’s Heather Lee.

Clear the air over end of AirCare Editor: Re: Elimination of AirCare is long overdue, June 21.

Your editorial on AirCare fails to appreciate the importance of the program for protecting our environment and building a sustainable economy.

Rather than buying the government’s line that we don’t need to worry about emissions anymore, we only need to look up on a poor-air-quality day to realize that there are cars and trucks on the road that are polluting more than is warranted.

Contrary to your assertion that there aren’t enough older vehicles on the road for AirCare to examine, the program catches close to 40,000 vehicles with emission problems each year. Without testing, that number will compound from one year to the next, growing exponentially.

AirCare does a good job of protecting our environment and atmosphere. According to a Sierra Research/SENES Consulting report to the AirCare review committee in 2010, AirCare is keeping 30,000 tonnes of toxic carbon monoxide emissions and 3,400 tonnes of smog-forming pollutants out of our atmosphere. And an independent review from the same year concluded the program would continue to be effective until at least 2020.

Economically, AirCare repairs and preventative maintenance pumps $35 million of revenue per year into our local automotive repair industry.

AirCare should be expanded to include heavy trucks and diesel engines for a safer, cleaner airshed, but one set of emitters shouldn’t be swapped for another.

Incoming Rotary Club of White Rock president for 2012-2013 Jaqui Joys, who will replace the bell with a gong for calling meetings to order.

Incoming president plans projects ‘closer to home’

The City of White Rock has received an application for a Zoning Amendment and a Development Permit to construct an 86 unit residential strata. This is a revised application for a previously approved development proposal for these addresses. A public information meeting is scheduled for Thursday, July 5, 2012 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at White Rock City Hall, 15322 Buena Vista Avenue, for the public to review this application. The meeting will be an open house format with a display outlining the details of the proposed development.

Jaqui Joys, president of the Rotary Club of White Rock for 2012-’13, says the club will bring in other Rotary Clubs to develop programs that benefit local residents. “In the coming year, we will look for projects closer to home to see where we can be of service in our own community,� Joys said Friday, on taking over from outgoing president Ian Lagasse. “There are five clubs on the Peninsula, and we will plan some of our events as multi-club projects.�

The club has already done a beach cleanup and is in the process of planning an August picnic for disadvantaged children, Joys added.

At the installation of the new president, the club presented the Paul Harris Fellow Award to several outstanding community volunteers and philanthropists.

The award goes to individuals who have contributed more than $1,000 to the annual program fund, the Polio Plus Fund or the Humanitarian

As well, rotary clubs from time to time honour individuals who meet the “high professional and personal standards� defined by Paul Harris, who founded Rotary International in 1905.

A Paul Harris Fellow receives a special certificate and a gold pin.

Two of the award recipients, Betty Wahl and Patricia Johnston, are volunteers with Peace Arch Hospital.

Wahl has been an auxiliary volunteer for 40 years and is also president of the Semiahmoo Group that participates in hospital fundraising functions. Her efforts as the hospital’s gift shop convenor for the past six years, along with the 40 volunteers she oversees, have helped raise over $400,000 a year for the hospital.

Johnston joined the PAH Auxiliary 10 years ago and has been the Superfluity Shop convenor for five see page 13

Upcoming Removal of Hazardous Trees

from Centennial Park At the City of White Rock public safety is a high priority. In the near future, the City will be removing three hazardous trees from Centennial Park. These trees are at a high risk of failure due to the presence of rot at critical growing points in the tree. These large, mature trees are growing beside BC Hydro lines, along North Bluff Road and along a pathway for pedestrians and cyclists, which increases the public safety risk. The risk of damage to person and property and the probability of all three trees falling are high, necessitating their removal.

Caring for the region from page 12 years.

A third recipient is philanthropist Milton Carrasco, who has donated $20,000 to the Rotary Club of White Rock over the past two years.

Carrasco is CEO and president of his own company, Transoft Solutions, which deals in transportation software and employs 50 people.

Born in Uganda, he and his wife, Valery, spent their early years there before moving to Calgary and then Vancouver.

His donation has been used for Rotary projects in Uganda and internationally. Jean Buchanan received a Paul Harris Fellowship in recognition of her service to both Rotary and Rotary project REC for Kids.

REC stands for Recycle Equipment and Cycles.

Donations of slightly used equipment and cycles are refurbished and distributed to children in need.

Harry White, a past Rotary member and past REC director also received a Harris award.

John Ansell was recognized for ‘service above self,’ for his continued commitment to the success of the club’s book committee and major book sale project.

The 86-year-old Ansell has been a Rotarian for 36 years and has served as a director for the past two.

The 2012 White Rock Rotarian of the Year Award was awarded posthumously to Bill Holtby, a Rotarian since 1954, who also received the honour in 1997 and 2002.

White Rock Rotary is the peninsula’s oldest Rotary club.

lifestyles Sources Community Resources Society opens facility in White Rock

New employment centre opens Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Some 50 people, including staff, clients and volunteers, were present to help Sources Community Resources Society celebrate last week’s grand opening of the White Rock Employment Centre at the centre’s new uptown offices in Miramar Village.

Among those on hand to mark the occasion Thursday were Minister of Social Development Stephanie Cadieux (MLA for Surrey-Panorama), White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin, and Sources executive director David Young.

Cadieux paid tribute to Sources, which operates the centre, as “knowing how to bring together partnerships in the community” and said the centre represents a step away from compartmentalization that has not proven beneficial in the past.

“I’m a huge fan of Sources,” she said. “It takes a community to help somebody who

needs a hand.”

Centre manager Dan Scott and program manager Madeline Cutting said it is the first time an employment centre has been part of the city scene since the last one was closed in the early 1990s. They noted that, with ministry help, Sources is now able to provide “community-based holistic support for job seekers.”

Among services offered are job search backup, including help preparing resumés, interviews, networking, electronic job search and finding hidden job markets.

More general support is also available for career planning, accessing work experience and wage-subsidy resources, exploring careers in trades or self-employment options.

The White Rock Employment Centre is located at unit 208, 1461 Johnston Rd. (entrance from the parking lot off Russell Avenue). For information and referrals, call 604542-4357.

This issue deserves everyone’s attention. It is the responsibility of future parents – our youth – to become aware about the ethical and long-term statistical consequences of gender selection.

Canada. It is shameful when practices of gender selection afflict a nation that is committed to upholding human rights.

The Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada has even suggested that private ultrasound clinics which are willing to reveal the gender of a fetus under 20 weeks gestation should be banned.

I urge fellow youth to rise and raise their voice against this sensitive, yet vital issue affecting Canadians.

A woman’s right to choose is one thing, but to abort a fetus on the basis of gender is barbaric and unacceptable.

Dr. Rajendra Kale told CTV in January that “female feticide devalues women completely.”

In a similar tone, Surrey Coun.

Barinder Rasode urged South Asians to stop heading to the U.S. for the gender selection services.

In response to controversy over a Washington state clinic offering gender selection through in-vitro fertilization, Rasode told 24-Hours newspaper: “As we see the number of women contributing to society in many, many ways… I think it is very unfortunate these medieval practices would still be thought of by very few in the community.”

Brent Petkau, the Oyster Man, spoke of his passion for the little mollusk that he sees a sensual pleasure and compared it to a certain part of the female anatomy. In talking about oysters, the man was transported to another realm.

His explicit descriptions made me blush.

Even though I am from the West Coast, I had never tried an oyster, so I jumped in and under his watchful tutelage, ate one.

It was a good idea at the time but it was not the sensual, experience he alluded to.

At this juncture of my life, I would say that oysters are like marriage and marathons.

Once is enough.

April Lewis is the local communications director for CARP, a national group committed to a ‘New Vision of Aging for Canada.’ She writes monthly.

Bone loss in jaws always occurs when teeth are lost. Up to 50% of the bone ridge volume can disappear in the Àrst year after teeth extractions because there are no longer any roots to stimulate the bone. Extensive periodontal disease and ill Àtting dentures also lead to the thinning and shortening of the jawbone. This leads to complications when attempting to place implants as the dentist requires a suitable amount of bone to support the implant.

To solve this problem, the dentist can often do bone graft procedures called Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) or a sinus lift (in the upper jaw). Bone grafts in the mouth are a proven way of building a solid foundation for implants to be placed. If you’ve been putting off going to the dentist for years or have been told that you don’t have enough bone for dental implants, Dr. Nelson may be able to help you.

Dr. Greg Nelson offers a FREE initial consultation. During your consultation, you can discuss possible ways to improve your smile and get a better idea of what Dr. Nelson can do for you.

Dr. Greg Nelson,

Enjoy your smile.... Everybody else does!!

“I lost my two front teeth when I was 7 during a playground accident. It has taken me 28 years to Ànd a dentist that I was comfortable with and I knew had the expertise and patient care to tend to my complicated dental case. Dr. Nelson and his team have been exceptional during the entire bone grafting procedure to correct a bone defect that has come from missing my teeth for so many years. I highly recommend Dr. Nelson when it comes to bone grafting and implants. He goes above and beyond for his patients to ensure they are comfortable and have all the information they need to make informed decisions. I’m loving my new smile!”

Auxiliary members show off posters and the pennies they are collecting for Peace Arch Hospital.

Auxiliary society uses coins for hospital

Penny wise for Peace Arch Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary Society has coined a way to make use of Canada’s pennies.

The society’s Aquarius Group has placed jars at the hospital’s gift shop, information desk and Superfluity store, as well as area businesses, to collect the coins for the benefit of services that enhance the care, comfort and quality of life of patients in acute and residential care.

The country’s last penny was struck at the Royal Canadian Mint in Winnipeg in May, and Canadians have been encouraged to donate their one-cent coins to charity.

According to auxiliary society members, the message has been received.

“The community has already responded with enthusiasm and our jars are filling rapidly as peo-

N E P O n! o NOrW s a e S the fo

ple take to heart the words of Finance Minister Jim Flaherty who said that a charitable donation would be an apt last stop for the pennies,” group leader Sharon Paterson said.

The idea was the brainchild of auxilian Marilyn Van Iderstine, who says the group will be collecting as long as the jars continue to fill up.

lifestyles South Surrey girl finalist in Build-A-Bear design challenge

‘Furbulous’ design makes finals for contest Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Abigail Shibley-Fry has one word for what it would be like to win a contest that challenged fans to design outfits for Build-A-Bear Workshop mascots, Pawlette Coufur and Bearemy: “perfect.”

And, thanks to her recent selection as a finalist in the Furbulous Fashion Design Contest, she just might learn how perfect feels.

Abigail, 10, has been a fan of the cuddly, create-yourown critters since she was about six years old.

So when an email from the Build-A-Bear Stuffer’s Club came through challenging kids to submit designs for the mascots’ new attire, she jumped at the opportunity.

“I just thought I’d give it a go,” the Surrey Christian student and South Surrey resident said. “The prize is pretty good.”

To her and her mom, Karen’s, surprise, both of her designs were chosen, first as semi-finalists and then, thanks to online public voting earlier this month, as among 12 in the running for the grand prize.

Dan Ferguson photos

Abigail Shibley-Fry ‘s designs (right) made the finals in the Build-A-Bear competition.

She’ll learn July 5 if they are selected for the big win, which includes a $5,000

scholarship and a trip to New York City.

Abigail, who enjoys free-

hand drawing, is hopeful her take on what would suit Pawlette Coufur and Bea-

remy will win the judges over.

Gleaning ideas from recent fashion trends, she came up with a blue and purple skirt, a multi-coloured top and a

purple cardigan with blue trim for Pawlette Coufur; for Bearemy, she chose a blue hoodie, brown shorts and a brown hat.

“We looked at fashions and stuff online just to see what was what,” Abigail said.

She described the other finalists’ designs as “really good,” but knows having two designs in the final pool increases her odds of a win.

Her mom credits a Facebook campaign that appealed for votes with helping boost Abigail’s chances.

“I emailed and Facebooked 100 people to start voting for her,” she said.

Karen Shibley-Fr y described her daughter as “the biggest Build-a-Bear fan ever.”

She currently owns nine of the critters, including bunnies, bears and gingerbread men, only three of which were made in Canada.

She built the others in the U.S., including in Disneyland, Bellis Fair Mall and San Diego.

The grand prize winners are to be announced at buildabear.com

Union members protest privatizing the liquor distribution branch. store in East Vancouver, right by the warehouse, or if you go to a liquor store in Fort St. John, the prices are the same,” he said.

“There’s certainly no assurance that if the warehouse and distribution service is privatized we’re going to have consistent, province-wide pricing. And I think there is a very real possibility that this privatization is going to drive up costs for consumers.”

Matt Phillips, of Victoria’s Phillips Brewing Company – also a member the Craft Beer Association of B.C. – has predicted that privatization could add between 75 cents to $1 on the cost of a sixpack of beer, Stewart said.

“A lot of the smaller brewers are happy with the service that LDB provides, and they are concerned that privatizing is going to drive up their costs,” he said.

Inside the building, Coleman did not address any liquor-related issues in his speech. However, he was asked about privatization by

Privatizing the Liquor Distribution Branch would not only cause the province to lose millions of dollars in revenue, it would also drive up liquor prices for consumers, according to the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union.

Nearly 40 union members armed with petitions circled the Cascades Casino parking lot in Langley last week, collecting signatures to “stop the Liquor Distribution Branch sell-off.” They were also hoping to catch the eye of Rich Coleman, minister responsible for the LDB, who was at the casino Tuesday to speak to the annual meeting of the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce. “(The LDB) is a public asset that has served the public for decades,” said Evan Stewart, communications officer for the BCGEU. “Last year alone it produced in the region of $890 million of profit, and that’s provincial revenue that goes into building schools, hospitals and highways and looking after seniors.”

Since the privatization plan was announced in the budget speech in February, there has been no public consultation nor a business case presented to justify the sale, Stewart said.

He also believes this will cause prices to increase for consumers.

“I think British Columbians need to be aware that the system has worked for decades (and) has provided consistent pricing province wide. If you go into a liquor

a chamber member.

Asked why no business case had been prepared in advance of the Request for Proposals (RFP) that calls for responses from the private sector by June 30, Coleman said that the government instead did an analysis.

“What we have here is an old warehouse that is not very efficient. We could either go build a new warehouse or see if someone in the private sector wanted to come in with a proposal.

“We need to look to efficiencies, and the best way is to go to the private sector,” he said.

He also emphasized that part of the RFP requires that existing employees do not lose their jobs and remain as members of the union.

Coleman said the final decision on the privatization RFP will be made by a panel of civil servants and not by politicians, “and if there is no savings to consumers, we won’t do the deal.”

Become a tree watering partner!

Like our kids, our trees need nurturing in their youth. In warm summer weather trees get thirsty and need water to replenish their fluids.

If you have a City street tree in front of your home, still in its youth, you can help give it a strong start by regularly watering it during hot, dry weather.

Due to the success of last year’s program, we are again offering refillable watering bags to Surrey residents to water 1-3 year old City street trees in front of their homes.

These “water smart” bags slowly release water into the soil over an eight hour period, reducing run-off and evaporation. Watering deeply once or twice a week is better for the tree and saves you time.

Get involved!

You can help by requesting a watering bag for the young City planted tree(s) in front of your home. We deliver the bags in June and pick them up in September. All you need to do is fill it up once a week.

news Assistance plan allows for smaller payments for lower-income students

Easing of student loan repayments announced Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. and federal governments have relaxed some of the rules for student loan repayment, part of an integrated loan program in effect starting July 1.

The new repayment assistance plan allows for smaller payments for lower-income students, based on income, number of dependent children and the amount of student debt owed.

The program extends the repayment time and may allow forgiveness of the original loan amount.

A single parent with two children and an Christy Clark average premier annual income of $30,000 would see the minimum interest payment on a $20,000 student loan decrease from $228 to zero.

A student couple with two children, combined income of $50,000 and combined loans totalling $40,000 would see their minimum payments fall from $485 to $87.

Premier Christy Clark said the new repayment rules will expand the number of B.C. students eligible for relief to 20,000, replacing strict income-based limits for loan repayment that didn’t reflect loan size or number of dependents.

“It’s going to be a really big benefit for people who might find themselves $1,000 over the eligibility line,” Clark said.

“Just because you’re $1,000 better off in your gross income doesn’t mean it’s going to be a whole lot easier to pay everything back.”

The new repayment assistance plan also provides for forgiveness of some or all of the loan principal if students have dependents and their income stays low over time.

Students with a permanent disability can qualify for full loan forgiveness if they still can’t afford the full loan payment after 10 years.

B.C. student loans given out before Aug.

1, 2011 are automatically moved to the new national student loan

system effective July 1.

Loan recipients are supposed to receive a

new agreement with the terms of the integrated loan.

People with B.C. student loans in default can qualify for the

arts & entertainment …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Beach House Theatre Society on track for debut production

A ‘dream’ cast set for a dream play Alex Browne

I

Arts Reporter

t’s the question that’s on many lips – even if they haven’t got the name quite right yet.

“What’s happening with that Bard, er ...Shakespeare by the sea... thing down at Crescent Beach?”

The answer, happily, is that everything is full steam ahead for Beach House Theatre Society’s debut production, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, all set to transform a section of the Blackie Spit parking lot into a covered theatre space from Aug 15 to 19.

Beach House artistic directors Candace Radcliffe and Rick Harmon report, as of this writing, that online ticket sales ($25 per seat, plus HST and service charges) should be up and running by the end of this month on the company’s website (www. beachhousetheatre.org).

And – happily for those not quite ready for a Star Trek interpretation of Shakespeare’s classic – they assure us Nicole Chartrand’s production design and Linda Weston’s costumes hew to a very traditional late medieval/ Renaissance approach.

“Nicole’s visual references will all be Elizabethan,” said Harmon, of the well-loved play in which denizens of the fairy realm, including King Oberon, Queen Titania and mischievous sprite Puck, play havoc with the lives of mortals in a mythical Athens that has always had more to do with bucolic Britain than the hills of Greece.

“It’ll be very traditional and the setting will use as many elements of nature as possible – a lot of natural twigs and shrubs,” he said.

“Nicole has some beautiful things in mind,” said Radcliffe.

“More than the stage set itself she’s

Top right, Schinkel and Hugh embrace as Hermia and Lysander. designing the whole look of the space. She’s even designed beautiful entrance gates to make it look like an Elizabethan theatre.”

Technical director Geoff McEvoy has also been busy trying to reconfigure the available space to accommodate the maximum

number of seats to fill the demand for tickets – it’s now up to 270 seats under the tent, they say.

Of the demand there can be little doubt.

“One woman called in a total panic because she’d heard it was sold out,” Harmon said.

Even fundraisers for the company have been selling like proverbial hot cakes, they added, including the most recent pub night.

“When tickets went on sale (for the pub night) they sold out in a day – I couldn’t even get one,” said Harmon, laughing. “The community has supported us beyond our dreams.”

A keen and energetic board and enthusiastic local sponsors have made it easy for them to concentrate on the myriad of details involved in the production, rather than having drop everything to go into fundraising mode, they said.

“We have to give a big thank you to our sponsors,” Radcliffe said. “This wouldn’t be happening without them.”

As much as the community is giving to Beach House, the newlyminted theatre company wants to give back in opportunities for volunteers, particularly among young people on the Peninsula.

“One of the mandates of the company is to encourage youth to get involved,” said Harmon. “The board put together a scholarship to recognize an outstanding contribution to stagecraft.”

Due to shortage of time, it was offered this year only to students of Elgin Park Secondary and Clayton Heights Secondary, and grad Zachary Dallas, who has done

extensive work in lighting, set design and construction with the Elgin Park Players since 2008.

“He’s been with Stan (Elgin drama teacher Stan Engstrom) for years,” Harmon said. “We’re very excited – part of the scholarship is an opportunity to work with Geoff McEvoy on the technical side, maybe even as an assistant to Geoff.”

Radcliffe, drama teacher at Earl Marriott, said she is also giving an opportunity to several of her younger students to appear as part of the fairy throng in the play.

The cast is also rich with Marriott grads who’ve worked as students with Radcliffe (or with Harmon, before his retirement from the school several years ago) and are continuing in professional theatre – and also with regular character actors from the Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society (FVGSS), for whom Harmon has directed frequently over the years.

The result is a happy blend of experience, enthusiasm, talent and significant training, Radcliffe and Harmon said.

Anne vanLeeuwen, for example, who plays Helena, is appearing in the show during a brief hiatus from her training at New York’s prestigious Circle In The Square, while Marina Benitez-Lazzarotto, who reprises the role of Puck she played in a notable 2005 Marriott production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, spent two years studying theatre in Paris.

James Walker (who plays the dual role of Oberon and Theseus, Duke of Athens) is not only a Marriott grad but also a notable scene-stealer in FVGSS shows, as are fellow cast members Reg Pillay (Snout), Paula Cooper (Peaseblossom), Adam Olgui (Quince) and Roger Hussen (Egeus).

arts & entertainment Crescent Beach mother-daughter duo featured at gallery

Local artists showcased Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Two artists well known on the Semiahmoo Peninsula – particularly as members of the Crescent Beach-based Artists At Hand collective – will be highlighted in a mother-daughter exhibition at Granville Island’s Circle Craft Gallery in July.

Pottery by Adele Samphire and glasswork by Lisa Samphire will be featured in the gallery’s Samphire Fusion show, running in the gallery’ July 6-31.

As the exhibition release points out, the very name Samphire (courtesy of Adele’s husband and Lisa’s dad, Sid) has a significance to the work beyond their own considerable reputations in the arts.

The name came into currency in the 16th century, identifying a succulent plant found on the shores of England. Burnt samphire yields soda ash, which an important ingredient in both glazing pottery and glassmaking.

For the current show, Adele and Lisa are joining forces on pottery and glass works that combine the techniques of each of their media. “The pieces will explore our shared interest in pattern,� they said in a joint statement. “We are both influenced by patterns found in nature, fabric design, wallpaper, Middle Eastern carpets and calligraphy.�

Adele received her formal art training at Leeds College of Art and Birmingham College of Art between 1959 and 1964.

During here last two years at Leeds, she studied dress and textile design, which remained an influence in her work even after she turned to the medium of clay and pottery in the late 1960s.

Lisa Samphire graduated with a BFA from the University of Victoria, but her formal training also included 10 years as an apprentice in glass work with David New-Small starting in 1985.

Her diverse body of work includes private and public, sculptural and functional pieces.

Meghann Mckinnon is set to attend an intense six-week ballet program at the Boston Ballet School.

Alex Browne Arts Reporter

(she started when she was only four years old) has just completed her Grade 10 year at Elgin Park Secondary and managed to maintain a high B average through the first three years of high school.

That’s even though she has missed afternoon classes two or three days a week to attend the half day program at Richmond Academy of Dance, where she trains some 30 hours per week.

This fall she is transferring to Vancouver’s Magee Secondary School for the balance of her high school years, thanks to the schools sports and arts program, which will allow her to put in a full school see page 40

GATHERING

“Lets’ emót” one heart, one mind, one family.

Le

Meghann McKinnon knows just where she’s going.

This week, for instance, she’s heading to the U.S. for an intensive six-week training program in classical ballet with the Boston Ballet School’s international faculty.

The pre-professional program is a prestigious placement she won for herself by auditioning, But for the determined and voluble McKinnon, 15, it’s just another step down a lifetime path of making a career of dance – either as a performing ballerina if the right breaks come her way, or as a teacher.

“I’m really excited,” she said,

noting this is not the first time she has trained far from home – three years ago she attended the National Ballet School in Toronto.

“That was really fun,” she said.

“That was my first year travelling – it was a great experience and I’d love to do it again.”

Getting in to the Boston program is definitely a feather in her cap.

“It’s a really good school. I have friends (in dancing) who’ve gone there before who’ve spoken highly of it and recommended it to me. And my dance teacher tells us to audition for as many things as possible, because it’s good experience.”

McKinnon said she also loves cooking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; particularly baking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of my favourite things.

CRITERION THEATRES

Dance has always seemed to be part of her life, she acknowledges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I think it was about when I was in Grade 5 or 6 that I really fell in love with it,â&#x20AC;? she said, noting she remembers the definitive moment as when she attended a performance of the Royal Winnipeg Balletâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tour of Sleeping Beauty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when I really decided â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;this is what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to do with my lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? she added.

Although she has explored and still does all forms of dance, including modern, tap, jazz lyrical, musical theatre and contemporary,

ballet is still number one for her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what I would do without it all,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dance is a way of expressing yourself through your every movement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would love to join a (dance) company when I graduate. That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always happen, and if it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen, I would definitely teach. After high school Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll audition for multiple ballet schools: the National Ballet, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, possibly San Francisco and see what happens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever happens Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep the dance going, keep the training up.â&#x20AC;?

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Stay on top of all the action The Canadian Open International Fastpitch tournament – now in its third year after replacing the Canada Cup – begins Saturday, and wraps up Monday, July 9 with the championship game of Women’s International division.

Sports Reporter

nlike last year’s tournament, there will be no rain at this year’s Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship.

Tournament director Greg Timm guarantees it.

“We’ve done a better job of planning this year. The weather is going to be fine,” he said Monday, five days before the annual fastpitch tournament was set to hit the diamonds at Softball City, Sunnyside Park and Cloverdale Athletic Park.

Timm is kidding about the weather, of course – though after last year’s waterlogged week, no one could blame him if he’d brokered some kind of deal with the weather gods.

Because of rain, the 2011 Canadian Open was a flurry of rain delays and rescheduled games, though in the end, most of them – including all the championship finals – were played.

“It was a rough year last year, probably the worst in all our years, but what that does is it makes you resilient,” Timm said.

“If we can survive that, we can survive anything.”

With warm weather signed, sealed and – hopefully soon – delivered, Timm and his crew of tournament organizers have turned to other duties, as teams begin arriving this week for the June 30-July 9 event. Teams competing in the Women’s International Division – including Team Canada – don’t arrive until Monday, and don’t begin play until Wednesday, July 4, but the Future Selects and Showcase Selects divisions, for U18 and U16 teams, respectively, hit the field Saturday.

The Futures Gold and Showcase Gold, meanwhile, begin Monday.

In the Futures (U18) Gold division, 30 teams – including 13 from B.C. – will vie for the championship crown, which for the last two years has been won by California’s Worth Firecrackers. Other teams in the

running include clubs from Brazil, Venezuela and across the U.S. “The Futures Gold division is going to be very, very strong this year,” predicted Timm.

“It’s hard to say how it might (shake down) until the teams hit the ground. We don’t know what Brazil is going to look like, or what the Venezuela youth team will look like. We do know what the Firecrackers will look like though – they’re fantastic.”

The three Renegades teams – the ’94, ’95 and ’96-born squads – will also be in contention, as will Surrey Storm ’95 and the South Surrey-White Rock Thunder ’95 ‘A’ team.

“That Thunder ‘A’ team is very good, and I think they might surprise some people,” Timm said.

In the Showcase Division, three more teams from the host Renegades organization will hit the field, as will the Surrey Storm ’97 and a pair of Delta Heat teams, the ’96s and ’97s. Other teams include California’s Nor Cal Assault and the Oregon Panthers.

Futures Selects: June 30-July 3 Showcase Selects: June 30-July 3 Futures Gold: July 2-8 Showcase Gold: July 2-8 Women’s International: July 4-9 Women’s Elite: June 30-July 8

A pair of Surrey natives who are headed off to the NCAA in the fall had their names called at last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Hockey League Entry Draft in Pittsburgh.

Forward Jujhar Khaira of the Prince George Spruce Kings was taken by the Edmonton Oilers, while defenceman Reece Willcox had his name called by the Philadelphia Flyers.

Khaira was the second pick in the third round, the Oilers claiming the six-foot three, 195-pound forward with the 63rd pick overall, higher than many expected.

He was listed 74th on Central Scouting Servicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final draft rankings in April, the highest rating by a BCHL player. He received an invite to the NHL Scouting Combine, May 28 to June 2 in Toronto, where his stock rose higher.

Khaira placed top 10 in four Jujhar Khaira of the physical tests at the combine. He had the seventh longest drafted wingspan, was fifth on the bench press, eighth in strength lifting and fourth in upper body power.

Khaira, who has committed to play in the NCAA with Michigan Tech for 2012-13, completed his second season in Prince George this past season.

The 17-year-old netted 29 goals and 50 assists for the Spruce Kings, almost tripling his production of 10 goals in his rookie season.

He will celebrate his 18th birthday on Aug. 13.

The Flyers claimed Willcox with the 141st pick in the fifth round.

Willcox, 18, has spent the last two seasons with

Do your homework before buying or selling a house.

Selling or buying a new house can be a complicated process and involves a lot of planning - and often a little ingenuity, too. Considering the size of the investment you have made in your house, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth your while to take the time to learn how to protect it and yourself.

Here are some tips to get you started: Show your house in its best light.

Your house might be competing against others in the area, so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to give yourself every possible advantage. A clean house makes a good impression and shows that the house has been well looked after. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what buyers want to see. A fresh coat of paint and some light decor can revitalize the interior and make it attractive and appealing. It presents a positive image of your house and can help make for a successful sale.

Federal government announces a set of new mortgage rules

CHBA forecasts fewer first-time buyers The federal government announced new rules for mortgages last week, including changing the maximum mortgage amortization period from 30 years to 25. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty also announced that insured mortgages will only be available to buyers purchasing a home for under $1 million.

“We want people to make sure that when they purchase the most important purchase they’ll probably ever make in their life, that they do so in a prudent way,” says Flaherty.

The government expects that less than five per cent of new home purchasers will be affected

by the changes, but the Canadian Home Builders’ Association sees it having repercussions on a certain demographic.

“The shorter maximum mortgage amortization period will reduce housing demand by eroding affordability,” says CHBA President Ron Olson. “For those who would otherwise have selected a 30-year amortization, it will take additional income each month to service new mortgage debt.

Some potential new home buyers will no longer qualify, and this will disproportionately affect younger firsttime home buyers.”

The changes will take effect on July 9.

residents don’t need to take their cars out as often. The opening of the Canada Line and the subsequent success of the Marine Gateway project has proven this conclusion, and Evergreen’s proximity to the new SkyTrain line is something of which Bosa is very proud.

“The access to SkyTrain is just amazing,” says Avitan.

Evergreen is within walking distance of several neighbourhood amenities, including restaurants and shopping at Coquitlam Centre. A Douglas College campus is also close by, along with elementary and secondary schools. If you’re looking for a bit of outdoor time,

several parks and Lafarge Lake are also in the area.

The Bosa name is one of the reasons that people have been pre-registering before the homes officially open for sale.

“Bosa has quite a following. (They) do it right the first time,” says Avitan.

“People feel very comfortable with that.”

The sales centre is at 3005 Glen Drive in Coquitlam, and is open from noon to 6 p.m. every day. Homes at Evergreen start at $265,900. For more information, visit www.bosaproperties. com/evergreen or call 604-942-2672.

Bosa Properties brings Evergreen to Coquitlam

by Kerry Vital

Bosa Properties brings livability to Coquitlam with their newest project, Evergreen. Located just steps from TransLink’s upcoming Evergreen Line, the condominium tower will be bringing more than beautiful homes to the table.

“There really is something for everybody,” says sales manager Madonna Avitan.

With 195 homes in a variety of one- and two-bedroom plans, there is a home to suit every taste. Whether you’re looking for a one-bedroom with a work space or den or a two-bedroom penthouse with two bathrooms, you will be sure to find the perfect home.

Some of the suites are part of the Evergreen Estate Collection, which feature higher ceilings, expansive outdoor balconies (some over 600 square feet) and larger floorplans.

“There’s some exclusivity about them,” says Avitan.

A particularly impressive feature at Evergreen is the kitchen. Imported from Italy, the Armony kitchens include an Italian woodgrain and stainless-steel backsplash that lends a touch of elegance to the space, while the solid composite stone countertops are chic and modern. The stainlesssteel appliances are complemented by the dramatic brushed chrome lighting in the cooking area and breakfast bar, while the recessed halogen valance lighting in the cabinets makes it easy to find everything you need. The glass-laminated upper cabinet doors with their integral pulls offer plenty of storage space.

Moving into the bathrooms, the solid stone countertops and porcelain tile flooring are quiet odes to luxury.

The master ensuite features a gorgeous soaker tub or a walk-in shower with a full-height tile surround. The recessed stone vanity shelf in the tub or shower is just one of the many convenient little touches at Evergreen.

The imported Armony vanity with dual storage drawers is another beautiful touch, paired with a designer storage shelving unit beside it. The recessed halogen lighting continues in here to illuminate the toilet, sink and tub or shower, and the decorative polished chrome towel bars and paper holders are yet another little detail that adds up to a beautiful whole.

Bosa has included a great set of amenities in Evergreen, including a

“

The access to SkyTrain is just amazing,” says Evergreen sales manager Madonna Avitan.

gym, an entertainment lounge and an open outdoor terrace with a barbecue area and firepit, Avitan says. Owners are also able to barbecue on their own balconies.

Evergreen is the fourth and final building in Bosa’s Westwood Village neighbourhood, following on the heels of Altamont, Claremont and Edgemont. These past phases have built up a beautiful neighbourhood around them, so buyers at Evergreen will be able to join an established community.

“The neighbourhood has been planned for a long time,” says Avitan.

With it’s fantastic location along rapid transit, Evergreen is able to take advantage of easy accessibility to the entire Lower Mainland. Communities located along SkyTrain lines often experience greater public safety due to increased pedestrian traffic, and life is often more environmentally friendly as

Q. A.

Real Estate Corner

with Derrick Sims

How Soon After We Put Our House On The Market Should We Start Looking For A New Home?

Well, that depends on a number of factors. If your current home is owned outright, and you’re not making payments on it, then you can look for your next home at your leisure. In this case, I would advise you to find your new home and move into it, then fix up the old home and offer it for sale vacant. This increases the ease of marketing it since agents and prospective buyers can inspect it at any time without fear of disturbing a family. Without furniture, the rooms will look larger and lighter and buyers can easily visualize their own belongings in them.

If, on the other hand, you are making a payment on your present home, you should be careful not to become financially burdened by having two payments. The best plan is to have the old home sold before you make an offer on another one.

However, if you absolutely fall in love with another home and simply have to have it, or if it’s a tight market with lower than usual home inventories, you might be able to negotiate a “bridge loan” to cover your interim expenses. This is a temporary loan made to allow you to buy your next home while your existing home is on the market. This sometimes requires more equity in both homes, or a stronger financial position, but many homeowners opt for this route. Often the security for the loan can be attained through the equity from either your old or new home, or both.

THUMATH, Joyce Nov. 24, 1931-June 24, 2012 Loved & admired by so many, it is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother & great-grandmother Joyce.

She was predeceased by her beloved husband Jimmy who passed away June 24, 2008.

Joyce was born in Paisley, Scotland and immigrated to Canada in 1957. She was known for her great sense of style and her generosity towards her large group of friends and family. She made a significant contribution to her community, serving the citizens of Surrey for over 30 years as a clerk for the local municipality. After her retirement she volunteered at the Community Policing Station.

Joyce is survived by her sister Marion (Bill) and her children Garry (Angela), Linda; her grandchildren Meaghan (Tret), Taryn (Michael), Kelsey and great-grandchildren Brayden, Camden and Penelope.

A celebration of life will be held Saturday June 30th at 11 a.m. at La Mesa Clubhouse, 2345 Cranley Drive in South Surrey. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the White Rock S.

Born in Bassano, Alberta in 1921, Edna moved to North Vancouver where she became an active member of St. Agnes Church, brownie leader, and camping enthusiast. Edna loved and supported her family all through their lives, quietly making everything possible for others. Her move to White Rock allowed her to become an active part of her grandchildrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives as well as a volunteer with the White Rock Hospital Auxiliary (Superfluity Shop) and local Heart and Stroke Mall walking club. A celebration of Ednaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held at 1:00p.m. on Saturday, June 30, 2012 at the Bell & Burnaby Funeral Chapel reception lounge, 4276 Hastings Street, Burnaby.
