White Rock real estate

Child-porn hearing continues

Mufflers on move

Victim found online

Alex Browne & Dan Ferguson Staff Reporters

A piece of prime waterfront real estate has been sold – but the existing White Rock Mufflers business will still continue there for a few months at least, according to the previous owners.

The landmark property, at Marine Drive and Oxford Street, changed hands Aug. 28 for a reported $4.5 million. The 29,800-sq.-ft. site includes the current auto repair shop and car dealership.

NAI Commercial, in announcing the sale Wednesday, confirmed two additional lots on Buena Vista Avenue were sold to the same unspecified purchaser. Combined, the three properties were ❝We wouldn’t part of a contenbe moving if it tious developwasn’t for the ment proposal last year. That taxes.❞ proposal, subRichard Saunders mitted to the city

by Georgia Laine Developments, was for a threebuilding residential/commercial complex, Marine Terraces.

Richard Saunders, who co-owned the property with his brother, Dan, said the buyer is “an off-shore company with headquarters in Richmond” and said it’s his understanding the new ownership is taking over the Georgia Laine proposal, including the site-specific zoning.

“From what I’ve heard, they’re … very high-end,” he said.

The agent for the new purchaser could not be reached by Peace Arch News press deadline Wednesday.

When the proposal went to public hearing in October, it received a mixed reaction from residents, some of whom were vocal in their concern about the height of the development and potential traffic congestion from some 84 condominium and townhouse units.

White Rock director of development services Paul Stanton said this week that while the city subsequently approved the zoning, a development permit application had not been taken out. see page A4

Labour pains

A young woman who was shown photographs that were seized from the home of a South Surrey man charged with possession of child pornography became emotional Wednesday when asked if the teenager pictured was indeed her.

Giving evidence in the sentencing hearing of Douglas Wayne Bowers, the woman – who avoided looking at Bowers – is among 11 witnesses scheduled to appear before Judge Michael Hicks in Surrey Provincial Court.

A ban prohibits publication of any information that could identify who she is.

Wiping her eyes, she nodded, then verbally confirmed she was the subject of the photos.

In one, “I must’ve only been in Grade 10 or 11,” she said.

Bowers was charged in September 2009 with possessing and accessing child pornography, after an investigation that began in October 2008 led police to a man they described as a “prolific distributor of child sexual abuse images and video online.” A B.C. Doug Bowers pleaded guilty victim was identified.

Following his initial guilty plea in December 2010, Bowers had told Peace Arch News he knew there was illegal material on his computer, but that it had been inadvertently downloaded while he was visiting adult-pornography websites.

During testimony last week, Hicks heard that police seized – among other items – sexually explicit photographic prints and child sexual-abuse stories from a home in the 16200-block of 40 Avenue during a June 2009 search. Bowers’ lawyer, Robert Doran, told Hicks the defence was “willing to make an admission that Mr. Bowers was in possession of (the photographs), which should become part of the facts to which he pled guilty.”

Wednesday, the young woman told Hicks that Bowers first connected with her through Facebook. The communication progressed to instant messaging and then text-messaging. see page A4

TransLink can’t boost fares, nor can it impose a car tax. Many mayors are dead set against any more property tax increases, and TransLink has few other sources of ready cash.

Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom says there will be a rapid bus service, but thus far no one has said where the money will come from. If TransLink decides to go ahead with the service and there is no other source of funding, it may mean major cuts to bus routes in other parts of the region, including perhaps even Vancouver and Burnaby. Politicians and citizens there will almost certainly react with outrage.

TransLink has done a few minor service adjustments to South Fraser bus routes, and while this will add a touch more service on a couple of routes, none of the adjustments have anything to do with the Port Mann bus service.

The next few weeks will see just how much scrambling will take place, and may also be a prelude to next May’s provincial election. With tolls coming for sure, and bus service uncertain, the governing BC Liberals face a very bleak future in South Fraser ridings.

Meanwhile, the NDP, with a solid lead in the polls, likely won’t say anything on this issue, preferring to let the Liberals dig their own graves.

news Officer advises shoppers to use chain on grocery cart for security

Purse-snatch victim warns other seniors Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

When Anna Tkachuk’s purse was stolen from her grocery cart last week, it happened in the blink of an eye.

And while the White Rock senior was fortunate to get the precious accessory back a few hours later – minus the cash she had in her wallet – she wants other seniors to learn from her experience.

“I have never, never feared that somebody’s going to steal it, but I should’ve been more careful,” Tkachuk said. “I’d like the seniors to be very aware of how (they handle) their purse in stores.”

The theft occurred around 11:30 a.m. Aug. 28, as Tkachuk shopped in the South Surrey Price Smart. She had put her purse – con-

taining cash, credit and bank cards, keys and sentimental mementos – in the upper basket of her grocery cart; the same place she has put it for decades, without incident.

But this time, when Tkachuk turned away from the cart briefly to pick out some chocolate for her great-granddaughter, the unthinkable happened.

“When I turned to put (the chocolate) in my buggy, my purse was gone,” she said.

“I thought, this can’t be real. I didn’t know what to do.”

The 88-year-old quickly found a store clerk, who alerted the supervisor, who then called police.

After checking the store’s surveillance video, the supervisor advised Tkachuk it showed a woman come up from behind the senior, take

Anna Tkachuk found her purse but not cash. the purse and walk out of the store.

When police were delayed, Tkachuk’s daughter took her to the bank to make the

account changes that were necessary to prevent further loss.

At home, she discovered a message on her answering machine: her purse had been found in the pharmacy area of Shoppers Drug Mart. Everything was inside except the cash.

“I was so relieved,” Tkachuk said.

A police officer who spoke with Tkachuk recommended that in the future, she use the chain on the grocery cart that typically locks one cart to another to secure her purse.

It’s advice she hopes others will also take to heart.

“My main concern is that people would be able to protect themselves,” Tkachuk said.

“From now on, that’s where my purse is going – in through that chain.”

Children ‘vulnerable’

A failure to communicate Kevin Diakiw Black Press

The number of young people struggling with learning in Surrey is high and growing by the year, according to a recent report.

The study, conducted by Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP), examined kindergarten children over two school years from 2009-’11. Determinants examined include physical health and well-being, social competence, emotional maturity, language and cognitive ability and communication.

Province-wide, the rate of “vulnerable learners” was 30.9 per cent, while the average in Surrey was 32 per cent – up from 28 per cent in 2007-’09.

The greatest vulnerability in Surrey was that of communication skills, which was worse in communities such as Newton and Whalley, which typically have more ESL students, according to the report.

Children living in Crescent Beach had the lowest overall learning vulnerability, at 10 per cent, while Kennedy Trail took the most vulnerable spot, at 54 per cent.

Chief librarian Melanie Houlden said Wednesday that the UBC study team is just trying to drill down to the cause for the differences in each of the neighbourhoods.

The report is being released today (Thursday) in conjunction with Literacy Day, which is Saturday, Sept. 8.

Houlden encourages all Surrey residents to drop by the libraries and get themselves library cards, noting Surrey libraries remain one of the city’s best-kept secrets, where services and book loans come at no cost.

This is the first time Surrey libraries are marking Literacy Day. “Next year, we’re anticipating we’re going to make a much larger deal about the whole thing, that we will have larger events and celebrations,” Houlden said.

Houlden said she follows the HELP reports quite closely, using it as a guide for staffing and programs at the libraries.

Human rights tribunal sets high bar for challenge

Smart-meter opponents get hearing Jeff Nagel Black Press

The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has agreed to hear a complaint that BC Hydro’s blanket installation of wireless smart meters discriminates against medical sufferers who claim electromagnetic hypersensitivity.

Smart-meter opposition group Citizens For Safe Technology lodged the complaint, alleging discrimination on the basis of physical disability because of Hydro’s refusal to allow residents to opt out and have wired meters instead.

The group intends to bring evidence on behalf of dozens of affected members who have doctor’s advice to avoid living near wireless smart meters, and it also hopes others claiming similar afflictions could later join and benefit from any tribunal-ordered remedy.

But the decision, written by tribunal member Enid Marion, sets a high bar for the challenge to advance.

The decision notes the group’s claims span various illnesses and included a catch-all category of “unspecified medical conditions” that the tribunal ruled was “too vague.”

Citizens for Safe Technology (CST) was given 30 days to narrow its initial list of 45 claimants

Residents concerned over heights Come join us from page A1 Stanton said the CD zoning would bind the new owners to the current plan, in which heights of the proposed buildings were reduced so they would not exceed what previous zoning allowed.

“The development permit will have to match the zoning, or they will have to go to the public on the zoning,” Stanton said.

Ken Fairweather, who lives behind the property, is concerned the development would set a precedent allowing the owner of another property closer to his to lobby for a taller building.

“My concern is they are going to relax the zoning on the next project, and that’s really going to screw my view,” Fairweather told PAN Wednesday.

Fairweather was one of the residents who campaigned against plans to build taller structures.

Sandra Sammartino, who lives beside the site, said the development won’t directly interfere with the waterfront view but will mean more traffic and congestion.

“We just think it’s bad news for White Rock,” she said.

Saunders said plans are for White Rock Mufflers – a fixture on the waterfront since 1973 – to wind down operations at the site over the next three months, with another three months of cleanup before they vacate it.

They are searching for new premises – “anywhere from Mud Bay Road to 200 Street.”

“It wouldn’t be White Rock Mufflers if it was in Langley or Newton,” he said.

Some potential sites in South Surrey have fallen through in the 2½ years it has taken to complete a sale of their property, he added, noting that an annual tax bill of

some $80,000 was a big deciding factor for selling.

“We wouldn’t be moving if it wasn’t for the taxes,” Saunders said, adding he understood the property would have to shoulder a large tax burden in a small city like White Rock.

“It’s the nature of the beast,” he said, noting at the same time, other auto shops on the Peninsula are paying $3,000-$4000 per month for their premises, including heat, equipment and taxes.

“I’d be down around $100,000 a year in tax and insurance – it’s hard to be competitive in the market like that.”

Formerly the site of Walton’s Service station, the property was leased from Shell Oil by White Rock Mufflers, before buying it outright in 1974, acquiring the derelict BCER bus depot on Buena Vista in 1986.

Young victim never met Bowers from page A1 One conversation occurred with the addition of a web-camera.

“We typed while the video stream was going on,” the woman said.

The pair never met face-to-face and never spoke on the phone, she said.

Asked by prosecutor Keith Kinash if she’d ever told Bowers she was an adult, or if she had

ever sent him photos of herself, the woman said no.

The communication ended after the then-teenager told her mom that Bowers had offered her a place to stay in France.

In cross-examination, the woman replied “no” when Doran suggested that the offer of a place to stay in France was said “in the context of after you graduated from high school?”

She was also adamant that the offer was not extended to anyone but her.

Wednesday was originally scheduled as the last day of the hearing, however, the proceedings are to now continue into January, after health concerns resulted in Bowers spending much of Friday in the hospital.

Future dates were scheduled for Oct. 15 and Jan. 13.

Tough Decision, yet a Wise Choice!

Death is a fact of life. When we die, someone will be responsible for our final wishes. It is not an easy task and most people struggle with the difficult decision making. Fortunately, we have the solution for you and your loved ones.

Prearranging your own funeral is a wise and responsible decision. Planning ahead gives you and your family peace of mind, and most importantly, will make things easier for loved ones in their time of grief. By prearranging your funeral you can choose the type of service you want at a cost you can afford. On your death, your family does not have to worry about second-guessing your wishes or paying for a funeral at an emotional time - everything is taken care of.

At Dignity Memorial we work with you to plan a service filled with personalized details. From time-honoured traditions to personal photographs, favourite readings and special songs, you can design the service to be a unique reflection of your life.

We would like to introduce two new products that can help alleviate the financial burden of a funeral. For example, prearranging for someone age 50 years can cost as little as $16 per month.

For someone age 60 years it can cost as little as $19 per month. These plans are affordable and they will relieve the financial burden on the family while freezing escalating funeral costs.

Look for our Health and Wellness Expo Insert in Tuesday’s Peace Arch News.

To help you begin, we are offering a complimentary Dignity Memorial Personal Planning Guide. In addition, we will extend a 12% savings on the HST for entrusting us with your funeral prearrangements. This will be in effect until September 30, 2012. To receive a copy of the guide please contact Victory Memorial Park and Funeral Centre.

Hogg’s cabinet snub puzzling ow loyal does one have to be to receive a cabinet post in the BC Liberal government?

More loyal, apparently, than long-serving Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg.

Hogg has steadfastly stood to his post on a BC Liberal ship that has been taking on water since it hit the rocks over the introduction of the HST. More than that, he has publicly stated he will run for the BC Liberals in 2013.

But though he has discreetly confined any disagreements with colleagues to private exchanges (and he has had his share, he avers), Hogg has been repeatedly passed over for cabinet appointments by Premier Christy Clark and her predecessor, Gordon Campbell.

While he apparently retains his posts as caucus chair and parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Social Development, and a slew of committee appointments, Hogg – yet again – has been left out in the cold in Clark’s latest cabinet shuffle Wednesday, occasioned by the impending departure of finance minister Kevin Falcon, education minister George Abbott, transportation minister Blair Lekstrom and children and family development minister Mary McNeil.

This, after some 15 years service to the party and the people, since first winning office in a byelection in 1997 and handily defeating all contenders in subsequent provincial elections.

Indeed, the former White Rock mayor continues to impress many on all sides as a voice of reason and a man of principle.

Yet although he has served – by all accounts well – the portfolios of minister of state for mining, ActNow B.C., and children and family development, the veteran politician is clearly not seen as cabinet material by Clark, even with the rapidly dwindling roster at her disposal.

By contrast, Surrey-Panorama MLA Stephanie Cadieux – still a comparative rookie after 3½ years in office and with a bad fumble on her record over pay raises for Community Living BC executives in her most recent post as social development minister – has moved on smoothly to the Children and Family Development portfolio.

The apparent snub to Hogg begs a few questions.

Assuming he has not requested a lower-paying, lower-ranked position with the BC Liberals, is Hogg viewed as too useful as caucus chair and in his parliamentary and committee work to be burdened with additional responsibilities?

Has he blotted his copybook in some manner that has never been – publicly, at least – revealed? Or has he simply committed the unpardonable sin of speaking his mind to people unprepared to hear his views?

those who work with patients in B.C. is historically less than 50 per cent (according to the provincial health officer) points to an utter lack of education among health-care workers.

That lack of education, and not mandatory immunization measures, is what the B.C. Nurses’ Union is pointing to in its concern about the policy.

Margaret Dhillon, a BCNU executive councillor, told me the union would prefer increasing immunization rates through targeted education, as was planned via a joint working group with health authorities during the H1N1 epidemic of three years ago.

But, as Dhillon noted, the working group has not met for more than a year.

Still, why are vaccination rates among health-care workers so abysmally low?

Why would a nurse, a care-aide or a doctor think twice about not being vaccinated, when they know (or should know) that foregoing vaccination can mean, literally, death to some with whom they come into contact if they, the healthcare worker, has influenza?

It would seem to make sense that vaccination be a pre-requisite for anybody who wishes to work with people with fragile immune systems.

There may be reasons relating to culture or religion for refusing to get vaccinated and that is well within a person’s right.

However, nobody has the right to endanger another in the workplace.

A health-care worker should have the right to not be vaccinated — just as the health authorities should have a right to not employ those who decide against vaccination.

Compassion for the other lives Editor: Re: A lesson in teen’s courage, Aug. 28 letters Kudos to the young man who intervened on behalf of the crippled gull, and shame on the adults who sat by watching and teaching their kids how to abuse animals.

Hopefully their children will evolve into a more compassionate adulthood than their parents.

For the past five years, I fed and nursed a crippled gull in my backyard.

She arrived hobbling on a broken leg. There was no way I could trap her, so I made sure she had dog kibble morning and evening. Any table scraps that I had, she got.

She greeted me each morning from my neighbour’s rooftop and scolded me nosily if I were late providing her meals. Her leg eventually healed but left her with a pronounced limp.

Two summers ago, she arrived with a mate and then disappeared.

This became a pattern. She never brought any young, just her and her mate, who would watch her feed and, if he was lucky, got a few bites in before she took flight and he followed.

Sadly, this spring only the male returned.

Over the years I’ve had crippled crows; starving raccoons; too many stray cats, for which I managed to find homes; a pair of mallards, who visited each day during the summer for six years, cooling off in an old galvanized tub filled daily with fresh water in which I sprinkled bird seed and watched them dive to feed; and a white pigeon I called Lovey, who came regularly and then disappeared only to show up on special occasions like the day my husband died and my birthday.

I’m almost certain there is a telegraph line leading directly to my backyard or a large red cross printed on my roof visible only to our wildlife, because they keep coming and my door is always open… it just feels so good.

And so, to the folks reading this who watch their dogs and kids chase ducks and throw rocks at animals, I say have a little compassion for the other lives with whom we share this world.

It will all come back in the end. It’s called karma.

Much ado over hue Editor: Re: Feeling blue…, Don’t rail…, Rail opinions…, Aug 23, 28, 30 letters.

Good grief. I just cannot believe it – all the pros and cons of the colour blue versus black.

Perhaps city hall should call a meeting every time it does something.

I, for one, think that black is a very classic colour for things like

gates, fences, railings, etc.

What a waste of time this has caused. Surely there are infinitely more important issues that need to be attended to, rather than the petty one of the colour of paint on the railing on the beach.

Booms better than screeches Editor: I’ve moved to White Rock and am far more bothered by the loud sounds of seagulls that start screeching at 5 a.m. than by anything experienced while living amongst farms in the Fraser Valley.

It is deafening.

My neighbours tell me that there have never been so many seagulls in town till this year.

Is there perhaps a garbage disposal problem? Something is drawing them to the centre in droves.

If the bird cannons are banned in the Surrey farms, please bring them down here… I would welcome them.

By the way, to your reader who complained about the bird cannons, we farmed blueberries in Chilliwack and put up speakers emitting predatory bird sounds rather than use a cannon, and yet a neighbour managed to complain about that.

Not everyone can afford acres of netting, and reflective tape just doesn’t work.

The birds are getting too smart.

Off-shore blueberries? Or local NIMBY ones...

Sahar Biniaz met with fellow dog attack victim Emma Cranford Friday, calling for leashes and muzzles for pit bulls.

Simple solution would save lives Editor: Re: Parents thankful girl, 4, survives pit bull attack, Aug. 28.

Pit bull attacks seem to be on the rise.

Although all dogs can attack, they are usually provoked in some way.

Pit bulls, even the most loving of them, seem to be trigger-happy and attack for no good reason, and no one seems to know the reason why.

What we do know is that the attacks are usually on smaller dogs and children, and both do move very quickly, so could it be that the pit bull’s inner trigger need is to protect and attack quick moving objects?

Perhaps.

To ban pit bulls altogether provincially will take months if not years to implement as there will be many debates over the issue, so the simple solution now would be to have it mandatory within our own city to have all pit bulls – even mixed breeds – fully muzzled at all times while in public.

The new bylaw should also be strictly enforced in that if pit bulls are seen in public unmuzzled then 911 is to be called by anyone, and the pit bull is to be immediately confiscated by both police and bylaw officer, with a hefty fine to pay before the dog is returned so the lesson is well learned.

There should be no excuses or exceptions tolerated, especially when it comes to our own personal safety.

Problem solved.

Cheryl Berti, White Rock Q Re: Universal bond, Sept. 4.

After reading the article on Emma Cranford and her visit with Miss Universe Canada Sahar Biniaz, it really struck home.

My husband was out walking our golden retriever on-leash behind Southridge School, when he was approached by a tough looking man in his 20s walking his pit bull off-leash.

My husband brought our dog closer to him and led him to the side so the dogs weren’t close as they passed, but the pit bull came around to our golden, who isn’t the friendliest golden retriever, and a fight ensued.

Thankfully, after some yelling, the younger man was able to grab his pit bull by the collar and drag him away.

I’m always cautious and afraid of pit bulls on a good day, but to actually walk your pit bull off leash is bewildering. Thankfully the fight was able to be broken up before any damage was done.

Not only should these pit bull owners put a muzzle on these dogs, but a leash would be nice too.

BCGEU picketers (L to R) Jennie Davis, Nancy Simonetta, Ann Simonetta and Dwayne Wiesner set up outside the Peninsula Village government liquor store Wednesday.

Unionized government workers walked off jobs Wednesday

One-day strike hits B.C. Jeff Nagel Black Press

A one-day strike Wednesday saw 27,000 unionized government workers walk off the job in a bid to apply more pressure in negotiations with the province.

In South Surrey, the first pickets went up at 7 a.m. at the Peninsula Village government liquor store.

Staff explained that while the store doesn’t normally open until 9:30, their usual shift begins at 7.

Pickets went up at the other Peninsula liquor stores in the Semiahmoo and Ocean Park shopping centres at 9 a.m.

Courts, jails and ICBC offices were also among the more than 1,700 affected worksites.

Essential services were maintained.

ordered by leaders of the B.C. Government and Service Employees Union (BCGEU), the Professional Employees Association and the Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union. “We do not take this action lightly,� said BCGEU president Darryl Walker. “There will be no more falling behind for government workers.�

The BCGEU is seeking a 3.5 per cent pay hike this year and a cost of living increase in 2013, following the expiry of its last contract on March 31.

The province had offered two per cent in the first year and 1.5 per cent in the second – a package Victoria has since taken off the table.

The union contends its members lost ground against inflation over the past two years due to the

previous contract signed in 2010 under a net-zero mandate as B.C. was struggling to recover from recession. “We took two zeros in 2010 and 2011 that really look at a wage cut of around five per cent when you look at the cost of living,�

Walker said.

The government has countered it made a fair and reasonable offer given that B.C. remains under fiscal pressure due to the lacklustre global economy.

Smaller single-day strikes have been staged at more selective public sector targets earlier this summer.

The BCGEU has also proposed fiscal reforms, such as Sunday liquor store openings and the use of sheriffs for traffic enforcement. – with files from Dan Ferguson

Men charged in cocaine, ecstasy conspiracy Jeff Nagel Black Press

Several Lower Mainland men face drug-trafficking charges in connection with an international plot to import large amounts of cocaine and ship ecstasy to the U.S. Police in B.C. had been tipped by U.S. drug agents in 2008 that several Canadian and U.S. suspects were using encrypted smartphones to organize drug deals on an international level.

Riot suspect nabbed at border Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

A Vancouver Stanley Cup Riot suspect was arrested Monday while trying to enter Canada at the Douglas/Peace Arch border crossing.

A spokesperson for the Canada Border Services Agency said Dakota Schlag was arrested after a “secondary examination” revealed that he was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant.

He was arrested and turned over to RCMP. Schlag’s arrest leaves two riot suspects still at large in the United States, police said.

Peter Jensen White is an American, while Nigel Li is a Canadian who is studying at a U.S. university. Both are in their 20s.

Vancouver police earlier told reporters the suspects in the U.S. were told of the warrants by their local police and know they will be arrested if they try to enter Canada.

Since the first Uptown Street Festival in 2005, the annual event has featured a varied lineup of musical acts and entertainers.

White Rock event continues to grow, evolve

Bigger, better Uptown Fest Alex Browne Staff Reporter

W

hite Rock’s Uptown Street Festival has never been about standing still – or resting on its laurels.

The festival, constantly evolving since 2005, returns Saturday (11 a.m-4 p.m.), offering an abundance of special events and attractions designed to keep participants milling through the uptown area of Johnston Road, from Five Corners to North Bluff Road.

Each year, something new is added, and this time event presenters the White Rock BIA are including a first annual Uptown Decorated Bike and Scooter Parade in the lineup.

Aimed at both children and the young-in-heart, the parade includes safety demonstrations and checks on each bike and scooter by volunteers from the White Rock Community Policing Office, plus a showcase for skilled BMX riders who will wow the crowd with their daring ‘air’ tricks in

the area immediately behind Central Plaza.

“We wanted to get the kids more involved, and also reach out to community organizations,” said BIA executive director Sherri Wilson Morissette, who added that young riders will be able to test their riding skills over an obstacle course at Central Plaza.

Entry into the parade is free, but riders are required by law to wear a helmet and organizers ask that parents escort their children along the parade route.

Before the parade gets underway, there will also be a judging of the decorated bikes and scooters at Central Plaza in four age categories: three to five, six to nine, 10 to 13 and seniors.

The festival will also mark the return of a favourite introduced last year, the Uptown Companion Dog Show. Only show of its kind in White Rock, the event, also at Central Plaza, allows dogs and owners to come out

and compete for prizes in a number of categories, including the coveted Judges’ Favourite award.

“It was very popular last year – we had a big crowd coming out to watch it. Some of the categories, like ‘most like owner,’ are hilarious. And this year, quite a lot of people have preregistered, so it should be even bigger.”

Registration is also available on the day (pre-registration is still possible through www.inwhiterock.com/events) and the entry fee is by donation, with proceeds going to the SPCA. Musical entertainment has not been neglected in the line-up, which includes students of the Todd Brewer School of Music performing at Hillcrest Mall; the Red Beans and Rice Jazz Band, which will travel to various uptown locations throughout the day, and the Tropitonics Steel Drum Band, which will play 1-2 p.m. at Central Plaza.

Each of these results can have added benefits, including faster healing, increased performance, better quality sleep and improved overall wellness; all of which can help alleviate the symptoms of arthritis and peripheral vascular disease often associated with diabetes.

The key to CelliantÂŽ lies in its ability to absorb and store electromagnetic (energy) emissions from the human body and release them where they are reabsorbed into the skin and deep muscle tissue, they act as catalysts for natural, biological processes resulting in enhanced oxygen levels, and more

The blue list is much longer, and it may be surprising to some that both grizzly bear and wolverine appear, but it’s not so very long ago that they frequented southwestern B.C. Along with them there are 13 bird species, 47 herbaceous plants, two mosses, eight insects and seven molluscs.

My brother and I are the executors and trustees of my father’s will, who died a widower in 2012. We got probate in 2010. My brother has been pressing me to agree to sell my father’s house, but I am reluctant because I’m sure the housing market will bounce back in a couple of years and I have refused to sign the documents listing the house for sale.

East Panorama Ridge Community Association organized party

Park event rated a success The first “party in the park” will not be the last, East Panorama Ridge Community Association president Debbie Lawrance says.

Saturday evening’s event at Bob Rutledge Park drew 80 people from the 110 homes in the area the association represents. “(It was) an absolutely huge turnout for our small community,”Lawrance told Peace Arch News. “I know that they want to make it an annual event.”

The celebration and movie night was intended to “encourage

neighbours to meet each other and become involved in helping to beautify and maintain the neighbourhood,” according to a presentation to the City of Surrey.

The “old fashioned community party in the park,” from 6-11 p.m. was a substantial step up from previous block parties, Lawrance said. It featured free food and entertainment, including a freshair movie showing.

Insurance for the seasonal traveller.

The season is turning, the sun is lower in the sky and leaves are showing their fall colours. It’s the time of year when people are finalizing their plans for lengthy trips to scenic U.S. destinations to escape the Canadian winter.

While considering destinations, accommodations, transportation and activities for long stays, travellers are no-doubt researching travel insurance too. The cost of medical care in the U.S. can be pricey, and a single misadventure could spell the end of a much anticipated trip.

The Canadian government recommends that travellers purchase travel insurance when leaving the country.

Medical care outside of Canada is extremely expensive and provincial health care may not cover all of your medical expenses incurred out of the province.

When researching travel insurance, there are three important things for people to consider: What is your health status?

Depending upon your age, some policies might require you to complete a health questionnaire. This needs to be answered accurately to ensure you have the correct coverage.

If necessary, purchase preexisting condition coverage so that you’re covered in the event you have a claim relating to a pre-existing condition.

What is your trip duration?

For some, one lengthy trip of 30 to 90 days may be all

that is planned. However, if you are planning multiple trips, it may be more economical to purchase an annual multi-trip plan.

Do you require Trip Cancellation or Interruption coverage?

Of course, it is disappointing to have to cancel a trip for any reason, from a missed connection to an unexpected illness. Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption Insurance ensures that you won’t suffer the financial burdens typically associated with such events.

But note that there is a difference between the two coverages: Trip Cancellation insures you if your travel plans are cancelled prior to departure, while Trip Interruption coverage insures you if your trip is disrupted after it has already begun.

Healthy diet + exercise + sleep = JOHNSTON academic success & THRIFT

Studies have shown that young people with healthy lifestyles have a better memory and can obtain higher marks at school. Parents can encourage them in these habits by setting a good example. Serving quality, varied meals is a great start. Physical exercise that is a regular component of daily life

will be an exemplary model for young children as well as teenagers. How can children be encouraged to be physically active if their parents are sedentary? Playing ball, walking, or cycling together cost little and can be extremely beneďŹ cial for children’s health and schooling.

The World Health Organization doesn’t pull any punches on this matter: it qualiďŹ es the obesity of millions of young people around the world as an epidemic. In fact, poor diet and sedentary habits are so widespread that it is estimated that 10 percent of children and teenagers aged 5 to 17 are obese. The physical condition of young people is worrying, even critical, as their health and academic success are at risk. The good news is that parents are in a position to reverse this situation just by getting involved and encouraging the discovery and adoption of a healthy lifestyle.

Studies have shown that young people with healthy lifestyles have a better memory and can obtain higher marks.

Focus Seniors FORUM

Fines unveiled to fight transit cheats Black Press

Transit fare evaders will face higher fines down the road if they refuse to pay their tickets for being caught without proof of payment in a farepaid zone.

TransLink on Friday unveiled escalating fines that start at the same initial level of $173 but will now climb to $213 after six months and $273 if they’re unpaid after a year.

The province this year gave TransLink authority to collect fare evasion fines after Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom vowed to fix a longrunning enforcement gap that let scofflaws ignore their fines.

Now TransLink will have the power to send unpaid fines to a collection agency and ICBC will refuse to issue or renew a driver’s licence or vehicle insurance to customers who owe unpaid fines.

“It allows us to enforce fares a lot more stringently,” TransLink Chief Operating Officer Doug Kelsey said.

“The people who pay should not be subsidizing the small group who don’t pay.”

Previously, fare evasion fine collection was the province’s responsibility, but tickets were going into a black hole, with ICBC, for example, not doing anything to spur payment.

As a result, most people who were handed tickets never paid them and

about $4 million in unpaid fines stacked up each year.

Transit Police last year issued 57,000 fare evasion tickets or nearly $10 million worth – more than in most previous years.

Until now, Transit Police were the only officers who could issue fare evasion tickets, but under the new rules Coast Mountain Bus Co. transit security officers will also have that power.

TransLink will also keep all money from fine revenue – previously it went to Victoria. TransLink is also opening a new website at www.translink.ca/ fareinfraction for riders to pay fines, dispute tickets or appeal decisions.

Fare gates are also being installed that will next year bar entry to the open SkyTrain stations without proper payment.

Past audits have estimated four to six per cent of transit riders don’t pay their fares, resulting in a loss of $18 million compared to total fare revenue of $412 million.

Kelsey estimated the fine collection system cost TransLink $1 million to set up and will take $500,000 to $750,000 a year to run. He expects the revenue from paid fines will more than offset expenses, giving TransLink a net increase.

But he said it’s possible more people will end up paying to ride and that fewer fines will be issued.

As part of our series of Forums for Seniors and their caregivers, this forum will raise awareness of issues impacting seniors as well as provide valuable information about legal, safety, and support resources available to seniors and their caregivers here in Surrey.

news Cowper urges five more judges but no more cash

Clogged courts can run smarter: study Jeff Nagel Black Press

Deep reforms are needed in B.C.’s congested court system to speed justice and prevent accused criminals from walking free from unacceptable trial delays, according to the findings of a government-ordered probe.

B.C. Justice Reform Initiative chair Geoffrey Cowper concludes a “culture of delay” remains in place in the justice system because no enforcement mechanism exists to break through persistent barriers to change.

His 272-page report, released last week, offers numerous recommendations and observations on the problems in the system.

“There is a general sense of frustration and anxiety that there is not enough money,” the report said.

Cowper found even simple criminal cases continue to take too long to get to trial despite a sharp drop in the criminal backlog over the last two years, largely due to the province’s shift to punishing impaired drivers with roadside penalties rather than prosecution in court.

In B.C. Supreme Court, the time to reach trial and the length of trials is rising in part because of a struggle to manage highly complex, large cases.

He proposes a Criminal Justice and Public Safety Council to transparently oversee the coordination of the legal system to try to make it more efficient.

It would also track the court backlog and recommend to the Justice Minister how much money and staff the system needs.

Cowper recommended five new judges be immediately added to boost capacity, but said the Provincial Court’s call for 18 more

Reforms are needed in B.C.’s court system if it is to run smoother, according to a probe. judges to help reduce the case backlog is not justified.

More than 100 cases were stayed last year because of excessive delays in getting to trial, violating the rights of the accused, and the number of cases older than 18 months in the provincial court system topped 2,500 before starting to decline.

Several judges have criticized the lack of court resources in rulings throwing out longdelayed cases.

Cowper declined to make a recommendation on whether overall funding for the criminal justice system is sufficient.

Costs have climbed, Cowper found, but

mainly to fund salary and benefit increases – not more court capacity.

Much can be done through more efficient use of existing resources, he suggested.

While longer delays have compounded the problems, speeding up the time to trial would help on multiple fronts.

Defence would have to be ready to sooner to respond to charges – perhaps opening up more plea bargains that avoid the need for trial.

Accused criminals wouldn’t be held in custody as long, so the consequences of denying them bail wouldn’t be as severe.

And the very high volume of charges being

laid for breaching bail conditions would be sharply cut.

Cowper also recommends more spending on legal aid, financed through a tariff.

Also proposed is sending trials initially to an assignment court rather than to individual judges so cases can be handled more efficiently.

Proactive policing has already been a major success but Cowper said more crime reduction gains are possible and a province-wide strategy is needed.

He endorsed earlier findings rejecting the idea of letting police officers lay criminal charges directly, rather than Crown counsel.

The wheels of justice have spun more slowly in B.C. despite a steadily falling crime rate and fewer criminal cases entering the system.

Justice Minister Shirley Bond said the province will study the findings before responding.

NDP critic Leonard Krog said Cowper’s council idea is worth pursuing, as well as a move to more permanent judges, rather than part-timers. He said the government’s failure to maintain a functioning justice system continues to let the guilty walk free and leaves the efforts of police, prosecutors and court staff “utterly wasted.”

Krog noted a deluge of new criminal cases is heading for provincial jails when the federal government begins imposing new mandatory minimum sentences.

More must be done to divert chronic offenders with addictions and mental illness out of court and into treatment, he added.

“It’s going to be costly but it has to be available and that is going to be part of the longer term solution,” Krog said.

ULTIMATE GUIDE TO

GOLF

Focus on your strength Do you have a powerful drive? Are your approach shots precise? Can you handle a putter with assurance? If you’ve replied in the affirmative to all these questions, you must be a pro.

Indeed, very few golfers can boast of possessing all these skills. How many times have you heard golfers returning to the clubhouse saying they would have had a better score if they hadn’t missed

some drives or some threefoot putts.

Some grump about their lack of power, while for others it’s their poor performance on the green that ruins their scorecard.

Every golfer finds it difficult to really master all aspects of their game.

The important thing to remember is to play to your strengths and be able to adapt to different situations.

Golfers who don’t have a powerful swing can often

Thursday, September 6, 2012 Peace Arch News

compensate with precision.

For example, it’s always possible to have a par score with a well-placed approach shot or a long putt. On the other hand, those who can drive long distances often have to rely on luck with their short game or their putter. In the end, all that really counts is the result.

Don’t forget: apart from power and precision, the mental aspect of the game counts for a lot.

Staff Reporter

Steeksma said. The TV cameras document officers finding – among many other things – toys packed with drugs and weapons disguised as cellphones.

Episode summaries hint at discoveries of mysterious white powder and “medicine” hidden in a child’ stroller; of travellers whose past makes them ineligible to enter the country and of a surfing souvenir that raises officers’ eyebrows.

Even with eight years on the front line under her belt – she started her career in 2004, at the Abbotsford-Huntingdon border crossing – Steeksma, 28, said she is still surprised on a daily basis by what she comes across.

“Some people do go very far to hide things from us,” she said. “Almost every time I find something, I’m slightly surprised. People are innovative and they find different ways to do it.”

Steeksma – whose dad, Colin, is a CBSA

intelligence officer – described the job as “exciting, diverse and challenging.”

Border Security: Canada’s Front Line is based on the format of a similar Australian series that is now in its eleventh season.

Produced by Vancouver’s Force Four Entertainment, executive producer Rob Bromley said it is how the officers get to the bottom of travellers’ stories that is particularly fascinating.

“The CBSA officers rely on technology and instincts to uncover the truth,” Bromley said in a statement. “Viewers witness reallife situations that are tense, dramatic and at times even bizarre. And of course, sometimes, they’re just legitimate travellers who have had something unfortunate in their story that triggers the officers’ interest or requires their assistance.

“It’s the investigation that’s so compelling.”

The half-hour episodes are to air every Thursday at 10 p.m.

Those will be the features of the third The West Fine Art Show, a three-day free art show and sale, Sept.

7-9 at the Indian Springs Land and Cattle Company, 19339 8 Ave. in South Surrey.

The ranch of Senator Gerry St. Germain and his wife Margaret has become known as an unparalleled annual venue for western Canadian artists, thanks to the hosts and event co-organizers Murray Phillips, who has been capturing some of the coun-

try’s most isolated areas on canvas for the past 40 years, and Brian Croft, who has made a specialty of evocative, detailed and thoroughly-researched land and cityscapes that re-imagine Lower Mainland landmarks as they must have looked in decades gone by.

This year, 18 well-known artists are contributing work, including Doug Levitt, creator of the 2008 Calgary Stampede poster, and Mark Hobson, whose many accolades include recognition as 2006 Artist of the Year by International Artist Magazine.

As in previous years – at the suggestion of St. Germain – the exhibition supports Indspire, which raises funds to help young indigenous people see page A33

Show features work from 18 artists from page A32 achieve their potential. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both Gerry and I feel strongly about the importance of education, so we decided that 25 per cent of the money raised at The West Fine Art Show will go to Indspire,â&#x20AC;? Phillips said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonderful organization that is doing great things and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy to show our support.â&#x20AC;?

The touch of celebrity is courtesy of guest artist and M.C. of Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening reception, celebrated pioneer DJ Red Robinson, who is showing 16 sketches he pencilled years ago when it looked as though his career path might be as an illustrator.

Robinson, whose fund of knowledge about the Vancouver scene in the 1950s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s has been of great help to Croft for several of his recent paintings, had kept his artistic light under a bushel for many years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember one time visiting with Red, when he suddenly brought out a series of sketches he did as a kid,â&#x20AC;? Croft said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;would you mind if we framed your sketches and showed them?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agreed to come out again and be our celebrity artist â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become a great draw.â&#x20AC;?

His connection with Robinson came about several years ago, Croft said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He emailed me out of the blue, saying he really loved my work, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become a great booster for me.â&#x20AC;?

Croft said his friendship with Phillips started on an equally casual basis, shortly after he first started painting his historical scenes upon retirement from his career as a fighter pilot in the RCAF.

Brian Croftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chinatown 1960 depicts a virtually vanished landscape of restaurants once well known to local residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first watercolour I painted I took into Murrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Westwind Gallery, and he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t kick me out â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which I took as a good sign.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been friends ever since.â&#x20AC;?

In contrast to the rugged mountains and valleys and coastal scenes offered by Phillips and other artists, Croft will show one of his latest paintings, a symphony of old school neon vintage cars and rainy streets titled Chinatown 1960. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It started with snapshot I found on the Internet â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve since got a good copy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which was taken looking down East Pender to the West End. You can see the Sun building in the background, but it also has all the old restaurants that people remember, like Mingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and the Bamboo Terrace.â&#x20AC;?

Croft said he may also give a preview of a work in progress at

the show â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Danceland 1963 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for which Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory of the times has also been very helpful.

The depiction of the once-lively but long-gone venue includes a marquee for an authentic appearance by the Ike and Tina Turner Revue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Red was able to introduce me to a lot of people who knew the venue or used to work there,â&#x20AC;?

Croft said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I found out itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the musicians who remember everything â&#x20AC;&#x201C; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re usually pretty vague about the details â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but the bouncers.â&#x20AC;?

Admission to the exhibition is free and opening hours are 7-10 p.m. Friday (opening reception), 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Sunday.

BC Hockey League schedule begins with showcase event in Chilliwack

Revamped Eagles set to begin season Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

There will be plenty of new faces in Surrey Eagles jerseys when the BC Hockey League kicks off its season in Chilliwack this weekend.

But if the South Surrey-based junior squad is to have success this season, it’ll likely be a result of a strong core of returning players.

“I like what we’ve seen from our returning guys… (they’re) ready to take on more expanded roles,” Eagles head coach/GM Matt Erhart said last month, just prior to training camp, in an online interview with the team’s new director of media relations Brendan Batchelor.

Nine players from last year’s team are back in blue and green this season, most of them forwards as Michael Stenerson, Brandon Morley, Demico Hannoun, Trevor Cameron, Brett Mulcahy and Colton Mackie all return to the nest.

But while the six returnees up front make up half of the Eagles’ four lines, the team will still need to replace a lot of offence. Gone from last year’s team, either via trade or NCAA scholarship, is captain Tyler Morley, Robert Lindores, Alex Hagen, Sean McGovern, Brayden Jaw and Brandon Tanev.

Stenerson, who scored 13 goals last season, is the team’s top returning goal-scorer.

Newcomers among the forward ranks

include a strong contingent from back east, including 18-year-old Jake Bannister and six-foot-two, 200-pound Nicolas Pierog, both from Ontario, and Michigan native Drew Best, 18.

Rookie Kevan Killistoff, from Langley, is also on the roster, after having played three games with the Birds last season.

The Eagles’ blue-line is similarly revamped, anchored by returning veterans Devon Toews and Beau Orser, along with Eric Chevrier, who played 26 games in Surrey last year, and 18-year-old Ontario native Brett Seldon, who was acquired this summer from the Ontario Junior Hockey League’s North York Rangers in exchange for McGovern.

To complement that foursome, Erhart – the BCHL’s reigning coach of the year – went big, recruiting a pair of New Jersey-born blue-liners into the mix, six-foot-four Craig Wyszomirski and Yale University commit Dan O’Keefe, who stands six-foot-three.

Two young Langley defencemen – Jordan Klimek, who played eight games last year, and six-foot-three Austen Bietenbeck – will also push for playing time.

“We’re building a good group back there, with some size and skill,” Erhart said.

“Good defence can take you a long way in the playoffs and we’ve had some pretty good defence cores the last two years or so. see page A37

Last year, Surrey advanced to the Coastal Conference finals, losing

to Powell River in five games.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll begin their quest for a championship â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which would be the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first since the 2004/05 season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Friday at 7 p.m., when they play Powell River at Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prospera Centre.

From Friday to Sunday, all BCHL teams will play in Chilliwack as part of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural BCHL Showcase. Surrey also plays Sunday, at 5:30 p.m., against the West Kelowna Warriors.

The White Rock tennis club may be small compared to its Metro Vancouver rivals, but it achieved big results at the recent BC Senior Games in Burnaby last month.

Club players won multiple medals, three gold, two silver and four bronze.

Club spokesperson Glen Friesen called the results â&#x20AC;&#x153;extraordinary,â&#x20AC;? one of the best Games outing for the club that he could remember. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The quality of tennis they play is absolutely unbelievable,â&#x20AC;? Friesen enthused. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a delight to watch.â&#x20AC;?

Shirley Elcombe and Helge Jensen took gold in the mixed doubles for 75 and older players. Michael Clark won gold in the singles 65-plus competition.

Clark also took silver in mixed doubles 70 and up with teammate

Ocean Athletics pair break records

Medals scooped at Legions Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

A handful of Semiahmoo Peninsula and Cloverdale track stars reached new heights last month at 2012 Legion Canadian Youth Championships in P.E.I. Leading the pack was Elgin Park Secondaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jake Hanna, who won three medals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one of every colour â&#x20AC;&#x201C; after winning gold in the 300-m, silver in the 200-m hurdles and bronze in the 200-m.

In the 300-m race, Hannaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goldmedal run of 35.49 seconds also set a Legion U16 record.

Fellow Ocean Athletics hurdler Sebastian Adugalski also broke a Legion record in Charlottetown, after clocking a time of 38.38 seconds in the U18 boys 300-m hurdles, in which he won silver. The gold medallist, Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kieran Johnston, set the new Legion mark, eight onehundredths of a second quicker than Adugalski.

Cloverdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ben Ingvaldson also found himself on the podium at Legions, which ran Aug. 17-19.

The Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary student took bronze in the U18 boys hammer throw, with a toss of 55.95 m. He also competed in the discus and shotput events.

Hanna, Adugalski and Meghan Palesch also took home relay medals, while Palesch won the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final in the 100-m hurdles. She

Q.

Real Estate Corner

We are planning to make major home improvements. I am worried about getting our investment back when we decide to sell. How do we know if we are spending wisely?

A.

When remodeling, you must weigh the cost of the remodel versus the value of the finished product. When I say “value,” I am not only talking about resale value, but I am talking about the value of the remodel to you personally. Some important questions to ask are how long you will be staying in your home and what benefits will the remodeling project bring to your daily life.

Regarding resale value, your remodeling project needs to be assessed based on your neighborhood. The best home improvements are cosmetic improvements. Minor updates to the kitchen and bathrooms, or a new roof are always valuable. Aesthetic additions such as new carpeting or paint are another type of remodeling project that returns almost 100 percent of their cost to the value of your home.

For larger projects, the average return within one year after the remodel varies. Major kitchen remodeling gives an average return of 87 percent, a family room addition at 84 percent, a master suite averages 82 percent, and window replacement 68 percent. As you can see from these examples, your remodeling project will always add some degree of value to your home.

When remodeling, it is important to remember that you will be selling your home someday and you need to make wise remodeling decisions. You must weigh the up-front cost of the project versus the usefulness to you and added value to your home.

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

OBITUARIES

STEENGE, Hendrikus Hendrikus (Henk) Steenge died at home on August 25th after a short illness. He was surrounded by his family for the entire time.

He will be so very greatly missed by his wife of 49 years, Ann-Marie, and sons Evert, Mark (and wife Karin), Dirk; and daughter Heather (and husband Vince).Grandchildren Cole, Luke, Jordan, Renee, Mackenzi, Reece and Chase will have fond memories of many times with Grandpa but especially of camping and crabbing trips.

Henk’s nephews Evert and Evert Jan and their families in the Netherlands also mourn his passing.

Henk was born and raised in Annerveenschekanaal, The Netherlands. He graduated in Agriculture after which he spent some time in an exchange program on a farm in the United States. After returning home he immigrated to Manitoba. After a few jobs on a farm, as a taxi driver, in a mining community in the North, and as a supplier of dairy products to stores - all in an effort to upgrade his English - he became an employee of the Animal Feed Department of Canada Packers. He travelled to farms in the area, and later supervised the production of feed in the plant in St. Boniface until early retirement.

He then volunteered with CESO and travelled as a consultant to Kenya, China, Bolivia, Russia, and Honduras.

Henk and Ann-Marie moved to White Rock 15 years ago and have since enjoyed the company of many special friends in the wonderful outdoors while hiking, sailing and camping. A monthly pot luck group with special friends was always a highlight for Henk.

He volunteered with Meals on Wheels and R.E.S.C.U.E. The family has been overwhelmed by the support of those in the Health Care System - their family doctor, Dr. Daniel; Dr. Lail, hospitalist at Surrey Memorial; and the Palliative Care team (especially Ann and attendants Kevin and Joe).

If desired, donations in Henk’s memory may be made to The Peace Arch Hospital Foundation Palliative Education Fund, 15521 Russell Ave., White Rock, BC, V4B 2R4.

‘A low-maintenance lifestyle’

Downsizers finding a home at Edgewater The recent increase in multi-family construction projects is a burgeoning trend. While many people still prefer a single-family home, buyers are flocking to developments that offer apartments or townhomes.

“It’s a low-maintenance lifestyle,” says Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for Fifth Avenue Marketing Cristy Edmonds.

Edgewater, by Barber Creek Developments in South Surrey, is one multi-family development that has seen sales boom since it opened for sale last year. Edmonds says that many of their buyers have been downsizers.

“They don’t need the space anymore,”

she says. “It’s also become more socially acceptable” to live in a condominium or townhouse, plus the perks of no longer having to do your own maintenance.

Edgewater is particularly popular for several reasons. “A project like this won’t be replicated again,” Edmonds says. “It’s one of a kind.” Only five homes now remain in the project.

But what about the privacy that is often inherent in a single-family home?

Though you might be giving up your backyard, many condo developments now include a private balcony or patio with every suite. It will be your own private piece of solitude, even in the middle of the bustling Lower Mainland.

we live in the Lower Mainland,” says George Wong of Magnum Projects.

“SOLO District will have everything anyone needs within a short distance.

Buyers will not only get access to fresh produce at Whole Foods, but easily accessible transit via the SkyTrain, short commutes to downtown Vancouver, (and) car-sharing options through Modo.”

The homes have appealed to people of all demographics, from first-time buyers to those choosing to downsize.

“Our first SOLO buyer ... was a firsttime homebuyer in her late 20s who had grown up in the area,” says Bosa.

“Like many other buyers she knew the area well, saw the potential in the community and wanted to be a part of it.”

The bottom floor of the towers at SOLO District will hold retail and commercial space. Whole Foods is just one of the amazing shops that will be moving in to the community.

Other amenities at SOLO District include a fully fenced rooftop dog park, a fitness studio with a sauna and steam rooms, and a covered rooftop terrace barbecue area, among several other things. Each unit comes with a secured

basement storage room and a one-year membership to Modo Car Share with three dedicated vehicles. Along with the car-share program, there are also electric car charging stations and four car wash bays.

The neighbourhood itself is close to several schools, from elementary to post-secondary at Simon Fraser University and the British Columbia Institute of Technology. Restaurants and shopping are within walking distance, including Brentwood Town Centre. Recreation is also within easy reach with a variety of gyms, community centres and other leisure activities.

“SOLO District proves that market strength exists for a strong community concept, which is exactly what Appia ... has created here at Brentwood,” says Wong. “The best developments will counter any negative real estate market trends.”

In fact, buyers lined up for two hours on opening day on July 21.

The next release of homes is scheduled for sometime in the fall. Homes start at $229,900. For more information, check out www. solodistrict.com or call 604-298-8800.

‘A strong community concept’

Appia builds on community demand with SOLO

by Kerry Vital

Appia Development has combined a fantastic location, great value and stunning homes in their newest development, SOLO District in the Brentwood area of Burnaby.

“We quickly realized that community demand was there and that people wanted to start buying,” says Appia President Jim Bosa. “We decided to release a few homes as an introductory release and we’ve had an excellent response. We’ve sold out our first release and we’re also oversubscribed for the next round.”

It’s no wonder they’re all sold out with the array of gorgeous features that are included in the homes at SOLO District, which stands for South of Lougheed. Imported Italian Armony Cucine cabinetry in the kitchen that is perfectly complemented by the polished quartz countertops and quartz slab backsplash and modern stainlesssteel appliances are just a taste of what’s to come in your new home. The engineered wood flooring in the entry,

kitchen and living areas is offset by the custom roller blinds on the windows and durable nylon carpeting in the bedrooms, while the nine-foot ceilings and seven-foot entry and interior doors lend themselves to the huge sense of space you feel when you enter your home.

Beautiful panoramic views of the North Shore mountains and downtown Vancouver greet you from every angle, while two designer colour schemes (Grigio and Noce) make it easier to make your home your own.

SOLO District is split into four sleek glass towers, ranging from 38 to 48 storeys that will include more than 1,400 homes. The first phase, Stratus, holds nearly 400 condominium homes at 45 storeys. The other phases will be named Altus, Cirrus and Aerius. Buyers will be able to take occupancy in early 2015.

“We firmly believe that SOLO District is poised to change the way

“

We firmly believe that SOLO District is poised to change the way we live in the Lower Mainland,” says George Wong of Magnum Projects.

Beautiful views come standard at SOLO District, above. The engineered wood flooring and an open concept layout combine for an elegant living space, while the bathrooms, left, are full of chic details such as premium Kohler fixtures and flattering lighting.

LOFT LIVING FROM $279,900*

MOVE IN NOW! | JUST A FEW LOFTS AVAILABLE DISCOVER THE EXCLUSIVE LOFTS AT THE VILLAGE The Lofts at The Summit House are pretty special. Ceilings as high as 22’ mean there is more than enough room to ‘swing a cat’, practice trampoline for the next summer Olympics, or master the art of aerial silks. The flexible loft space is a great bedroom, office, library, games room, man cave or whatever else you can think of.

You can even shout lines of Shakespeare to your Romeo below. And naturally, a great kitchen and beautiful finishes are a given at Morgan Crossing.

The best part? You’re still just a short walk away from over 60 shops & services in the dynamic Morgan Crossing Village!

Village Life means something a little different to everyone. To some it’s that the coffee barista not only knows your order but your name (and your dog’s name too). To other’s it’s that you can entertain on a whim without having to rely on the contents of your fridge. Or even the fact that your car stays parked more often than not with everything you need right at your doorstep. Whatever Village Life means to you, one thing is for sure – you will live!
