Band members in critical condition after van hits boulder east of Hope
Crash leaves musicians badly injured Alex Browne Staff Reporter
It was a dream tour that turned into a nightmare. On the way home to the Peninsula from a gig in Alberta, Diamond In The Rock 2012-winner Tom Vander Kam and his band, Tommy Alto, were in a single-vehicle crash Monday that sent two members, drummer Chartwell Kerr and bassist Paul Engels, to Royal Columbian Hospital in critical condition. The rest are at home, nursing a variety of injuries, lead singer Vander Kam said Tuesday. They were on their way back from a swing through Alberta and Saskatchewan, culmi-

successful road trip for the alt-rock band, which has been together barely 10 months. “We couldn’t have asked for better – five best friends doing what we all dreamed of doing,� he said. “It was unreal. Everything was so perfect to that point.� Trying to make schedules, and feeling homesick, the band decided to drive all night after packing up after the gig in Coleman. The 15-passenger Ford van, carrying all five members, their roadie and band equipment, left the road around 7:30 a.m. on the Crow’s Nest Highway just east of Hope and struck a boulder, going into what Vander Kam described as “a barrel roll.�
“We were on a straight stretch, a little bit of a downhill slope, with gravel shoulders,â€? he said. “I guess we drifted.â€? The van was towing a trailer, which Vander Kam believes kept the van moving after it hit the boulder. Most seriously injured were Kerr and Engels, both of whom are suffering from head trauma, collapsed lungs, internal bleeding and broken ribs. In addition Kerr’s left leg was “shattered’ when the engine of the van smashed through the dashboard at impact. “The only reason he wasn’t hurt worse is he was‌ leaning back asleep,â€? Vander Kam said. i see page 4

very morning, for eight years, Louise Roderick woke up asking herself the same question. What is wrong with me? With each passing day, the South Surrey woman’s health declined. There were times she was unable to speak or walk. “I became a shell of the person I was,� she said. “It’s like something came into my body and took me out and moved me over.� After countless doctors’ visits, the end of Roderick’s agonizing search for answers came last year from a U.S.-based medical lab, which diagnosed the 52-year-old’s ailment as Lyme disease. “I had read about it, and I thought, this is it. It all fits. But I was tested in Canada and it came back negative,� she said. “My doctors wouldn’t even consider it.� Described as a tick-born infectious disease caused by at least three species of bacteria, early symptoms of Lyme disease can include fever, headache and depression. If left untreated – or inadequately treated – patients can develop severe and chronic symptoms in many parts of the

Families whose loved ones’ gravesites were desecrated by thieves this month will have the stolen bronze flower vases replaced at no cost. Officials at Victory Memorial Park say they are also boosting security on the 36-acre South Surrey grounds in response to the thefts, and are appealing to scrap-metal dealers to be on the lookout for anyone trying to sell the containers. “Unfortunately, the theft of bronze from cemeteries is an issue really right across North America,� Bob Linklater, the park’s general manager, said Tuesday. i see page 5 Sarah Massah photo

For Roderick, the devastating impacts of Lyme disease began after a walk with her husband, Rod Baker, and dog in Elgin Heritage Park in 2004. She got a bug bite on her head. The bite
became a large, red rash, followed by a “funny feeling� in her brain and an inability to identify words and letters and even to speak. Adding to her frustration was the repeated dismissal of symptoms from health professionals, Roderick said. With
each new doctor, she received a similar response, often being diagnosed as high-anxiety or a hypochondriac. “I was going doctor to doctor, saying ‘please, something is so terribly wrong with me,’� she said. i see page 4

Fassbender is now the minister of education, and as such is one of the highest-profile MLAs from Surrey in the legislature. Thus far, he has been busy with education details, such as negotiating with teachers, but it is almost certain that he will be heavily involved in local issues such as transportation planning. He has a lot of expertise in that area, and that will be a hot topic in the coming months, as the province plans a referendum on TransLink funding options. He is a hard worker and will certainly not be afraid to speak up for his constituents. It may have cost the party more to run his campaign, but it paid off for them. Hopefully, his voice will be raised on many Surrey issues in the coming years, and voters in Surrey-Fleetwood will be happy with the choice they made.

Wish list includes variety of TransLink upgrades around region
Transit advocates call for 0.5% sales tax Jeff Nagel Black Press
Two South of Fraser transit advocates are pushing for a long wish list of transit expansion projects in Metro Vancouver, and they want a new 0.5 per cent regional sales tax to pay for it all. Surrey’s Paul Hillsdon and Nathan Pachal, of the group South Fraser On Trax, say the package of upgrades they’ve designed offers something for every part of the region. Most of the $6.5 billion in capital spending they propose would go to a $2.9-billion SkyTrain extension down Broadway to UBC and for $2.1 billion to build new light-rail lines in Surrey to Guildford, Langley City
and Newton, with a B-Line express bus route south to White Rock. They also propose several additional B-Lines north of the fraser, as well as upgrading existing buses on Highway 99 from Surrey to Richmond and over the Port Mann Bridge on Highway 1 to B-Lines. They say a half-point hike in the provincial sales tax levied only in Metro would raise $250 million a year – enough to cover the operating costs of the new lines, as well as a third of the capital cost, on the assumption Victoria and Ottawa pay the other two thirds. “We’ve spent 10 years squabbling about what kind of tool can be used to fund the service,” Pachal said, adding the sales tax
wouldn’t rile motorists as much as other TransLink sources like tolls or a vehicle levy. “This is fair and equitable.” He said a higher regional PST would grow with the economy and pull in money from visitors and tourists, while providing exemptions for basics like groceries to help shield lower-income residents. B.C. residents have paid higher sales taxes not long ago. Over the past decade, the federal GST has been cut by two per cent and the provincial PST was trimmed by 0.5 per cent. “We feel there is wiggle room,” Pachal said. Metro Vancouver mayors also suggested a regional sales tax early this year, but mayors’ council chair Richard Walton said he envi-
sioned something smaller – perhaps 0.1 or 0.2 per cent – along with other funding tools. Walton said sales tax would clearly generate revenue, but affordability is a concern. “It’s not a trivial or insignificant amount,” Walton said. “We’re advocating an approach that is going to look at a number of different funding sources.” Walton said a solution must fund not just transit expansion but other transportation projects, like the replacement of aging bridges. The report by Pachal and Hillsdon – online at leapaheadyvr.com – is the first major volley of return fire from transit supporters who are dismayed public debate has centred on TransLink waste and tax-hike opposition.
16 Avenue project begins Phase 2
Overpass to open on schedule Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Good news for drivers used to detouring around 16 Avenue east of King George Boulevard. The new bridge over Highway 99 is complete and due to be opened to traffic tomorrow (Friday). “We made a promise to the community and various stakeholders that it would be open before the Labour Day long weekend, and it will be,” Ministry of Transportation senior project manager Jay Porter told Peace Arch News Wednesday.

Highway 99 overpass to reopen.
The busy main route was closed to traffic in mid-April. Opening of the six-lane overpass means the first phase of the planned $24-million 16 AvenueHighway 99 interchange is finished. The second phase – including on- and off-ramps to access the highway – isn’t due for completion until the fall of 2014. “I’m going to keep that date at this point,” Porter said. “We’ll see how we do on the next phase.” Intermittent night-time closures of one set of lanes on Highway 99 will likely continue during the second phase, although traffic on the highway is expected to be unaffected during daytime hours. According to the ministry, benefits of the project include improved connectivity between South Surrey, Langley and Abbotsford, and better accommodation of increasing cross-border traffic.
School daze begins anew Sheila Reynolds Black Press
There’s still the long weekend to pretend it’s not happening. But come Tuesday, like it or not, reality will strike. As kids and teens tromp back to class, it will be difficult to ignore the fact summer vacation has ended. For most, it will be a short school day – some consolation for those who may have become accustomed to snoozing till noon. In Surrey, students in Grades 1 to 7 will start at 10 a.m., with classes ending early. Kindergarten start dates and times will also differ between schools and should be confirmed. For high school and learning-centre students, different grades start at various times, but again, dismissal will be earlier than usual on Sept. 3, as new classes are organized. Elementary schools will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. until tomorrow (Friday) for registration and information, while secondaries will be staffed from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
For general information about programs, call 604-596-7733 or visit www.surreyschools.ca; otherwise, contact your local school.
By the numbers Surrey is expecting about 70,000 students in its public schools this year – not many more than last year. The district anticipates a slight bump in enrolment of about 32 pupils. While there is growth at the elementary school level, it’s offset by declines in high school grades. Five construction projects – worth nearly $59 million – are to be finished during the upcoming school year, though the new Sunnyside Elementary is the only one ready next week. Two other elementaries – Goldstone Park in south Newton and Katzie in east Clayton – are slated to open in early 2014. A pair of large high school additions at Fraser Heights (200 student spaces) and Panorama Ridge (300 spaces) are also expected to be ready by spring of next year.

Outpouring of support for band i from page 1 “The engine would have shattered his entire body if he’d been any closer.” Also hurt were guitarist Ben Klassen and keyboardist Dan Besser. “Ben took a pretty bad blow to the head, he has a concussion and head trauma, and had chest impact, as well as cuts and bruises
– he had trouble breathing for a while,” Vander Kam said. “Dan has a broken collarbone, broken ribs and a little bit of facial fracturing.” Vander Kam described his own injuries as “soft-tissue damage and some puncture wounds.” Luckiest was roadie Graham Kohlen, who fell on a pile of blankets and came out of the
wreck relatively unscathed. Vander Kam said he has been stunned by the volume of well wishes the band has received since news of the crash hit social media on Monday. “I really have no words for it. I heard there was even an arena full of 7,000 people in Peru praying for us, just because of somebody we know (online),” he said.
Patient hopes to effect change i from page 1 “It was constantly brushed off. They’d say, ‘you’re hormonal, you’re high anxiety…’ And I would say, ‘yes I am, but this all happened because there was something wrong with me. It’s not the other way around.’ I would be begging them to take me seriously. There was something so wrong with my brain.” According to Jim Wilson, founder of the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation, Roderick’s experience is not unusual. In fact, he said, he experienced many of the same issues decades ago when trying to diagnose his ailment, pointing to a lack of knowledge by doctors – and what he views as indifference. “I was sick for three or four years. I was a mess by the end of it,” Wilson said. “Mentally, it was like my brain had left me.” He recalled his breaking point in 1992, when at age 38 he determined he was suffering from dementia. “It was horrifying. I got in my car and, hours later, my wife found me sitting there. I had no idea how to put the key in the ignition. It was the most frightening day of my life.” Wilson’s wife began to research his symptoms, when she came across information about Lyme disease. She urged her husband to see a doctor. Despite a “distinct” bull’s-
eye rash on his naval, Wilson said the doctor told him there is no Lyme disease in Canada. “He wouldn’t even consider diagnosing me,” Wilson said. The pair eventually found the New York Lyme Boreal Society, which led them to a doctor who confirmed what they suspected – late-stage Lyme disease. It was Wilson who finally directed Roderick earlier this year to Steveson-based doctor, Eric Chan, who sufferers describe as “Lyme-literate.” Under Chan’s treatment, Roderick said her health is only now starting to improve. But because of the length of time she went untreated, she does not expect to ever recover fully. “It’s going to take a while for me to get my body and mind right,” Roderick said. “Even when you start getting treated, you’ll never be 100 per cent after being
diagnosed in the late stage. You hope to God you can get up to 80 or 85 per cent. My doctor said he could help me get me back to 90.” Now, Roderick hopes to increase awareness about Lyme disease so that others won’t have to go through what she endured. Her next steps include working with Wilson’s foundation to lobby the federal government to reform Lyme-testing protocol. Currently, Roderick said, the Canadian test only picks up on a single strain of Lyme disease. “That’s why I tested negative all those years ago. But I don’t have the energy to be angry at the doctors who turned me away. When I get better, I want to turn this around,” she said. Fraser Health directed Peace Arch News to the B.C. Centre for Disease Control for comment. Efforts to connect have been unsuccessful.

Province puts onus on district for school pay Sheila Reynolds Black Press
The provincial government has once again told cash-strapped school districts that they’ll have to find the money to cover any raises that might be negotiated with support staff.
School workers, such as custodians, secretaries, education assistants and maintenance workers, represented by Canadian Union of Public Employees, have been without a pay increase for four years and are seeking a two-per-cent increase for the next two years.
For Surrey, the largest school district in B.C. with about 3,840 CUPE members, that equates to approximately $5 million annually. Surrey Board of Education chair Shawn Wilson confirmed Wednesday that staff has been asked to come up with recommenda-
Flowers cast aside as vases taken i from page 1 “As the price of metal continues to rise, unfortunately so does the theft of those type of metals.” Peace Arch News reported Tuesday that police are investigating the theft of nearly 50 of the vases, 17 of which were noted to have disappeared overnight Aug. 21. Linklater and assistant manager Don Calder were first alerted to the problem about three weeks ago, after grounds crews started noticing vases missing from random grave markers. The majority of those targeted are in an area of the park, at 14831 28 Ave., that is more forested than the rest. “As of (Tuesday), there were 46 missing,” Calder said Wednesday. He noted most have been taken “in the cover of darkness,” with culprits even going so far as to take vases currently in use, casting aside flowers that families have placed to honour their loved ones. “Families look at this as something very personal. Someone that they dearly loved died. This monument, this marker, repre-

Grave markers were targeted. sents that person, and now someone comes along and steals part of that,” Calder said. He suspects whoever is behind the thefts arrived on foot, taking from random sites in the belief the crime might go unnoticed. He and Linklater said it would be challenging to cart away more than a few of the vases at a time.
Standing about 10 inches tall, each weighs four to five pounds. “They’re heavy, they’re not something you’re going to carry in your pocket or in your jacket,” Linklater said. The retail value of the stolen vases is estimated “in the tens of thousands of dollars.” At press time Wednesday, Allen Seto, yard manager of ABC Recycling, told Peace Arch News that a woman brought an unusual number of the “quite valuable” vases to his Surrey site last week – enough to prompt him to report the cache to police. “Company policy is if we suspect any stolen product it’s got to be reported,” Seto said. He doesn’t know if the vases are the same ones taken from Victory Memorial but described the fact that they could have been stolen from grave markers anywhere as “somewhat appalling.” “It’s crossing a line, and that’s a pretty thick line,” Seto said. As of PAN’s press deadline, no arrests had been made.
tions to cover the additional recurring cost. “I don’t think there’s any question that CUPE deserves a raise,” said Wilson. “Relative to other public sectors, there really should be some recognition of that. They’ve gone so many years with net zero.”

A matter of mobility
A
proposal to regulate the use of motorized mobility aids – to be debated at next month’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention – seems, at first blush, to make some sense. Most of us have probably seen instances of these personal vehicles – including wheelchairs and scooters – being mishandled by users, raising legitimate concerns about their own and others’ safety. There are those who operate them too fast, or without due consideration, on pedestrian walkways. Others, apparently unaware of traffic patterns around them, have shown a propensity for operating the aids on the road, or making sudden, ill-advised dashes into crosswalks – behaviours that suggest accidents waiting to happen. That said, mandatory licensing and regulation may be the proverbial case of fixing something that isn’t broken. After all, these aren’t simply vehicles. For many, they are a replacement for legs, a crucial element in their independence and ability to get around. And, as far as we know, there are no plans to similarly regulate people using their legs on public walkways… yet. This issue seems to have stemmed from a 2008 provincial coroner’s recommendation, after three seniors died in collisions on Vancouver Island. But it would behoove those arguing either side to have an accurate picture of the scope of the problem today – just how many mishaps have there been locally, regionally, across the nation and beyond? Before making a rash decision, further study is needed – not just of those who use these mobility aids irresponsibly, but those who operate them without incident. Lawmakers must also ask what penalties would be imposed for unlicensed drivers, and what level of government would be involved in policing them. There is also the question of how, exactly, we would deal with guests from other jurisdictions where such licensing is not required. Do we offer on-the-spot testing or training, perhaps offering an “L” or an “N” to visiting dignitaries? More realistically, one could envision erratic users receiving warnings, with persistent offenders ultimately being banned. But if the majority of mobility-aid users are operating them responsibly, there can be few reasons for mandatory licensing – other than as a new source of cash for government.

photos with future generations because unless those pictures were archived on a disc that was not somehow lost, and the technology of the day can still “read” them, hard copies of memories past will be gone forever. In my basement rest a number of old family albums that haven’t been opened for eons, and may never be… upon my demise tossed with all the other detritus hoarded over the years. Within those pages are pictures of grandparents and great-grandparents and other relatives. Hopefully they will be retained so future generations can figure out why they look a certain way, and from which side of the family came the prominent genes. Perhaps, too, one day one of my grandchildren will show a wrinkled and faded photo of a long-haired hippie-like guy to their children, explaining that was what their grandfather looked like when he was young. Reality though, in this clutter-less society that we are developing, is that those photos, and most of the history of families will be relegated to the dump, the past only conjured through Google or Wikipedia or some such future information access source, and only if you’ve done something worthy of being recorded for posterity on the World Wide Web. That loss, for the sake of all your generations to come, would be a shame. Mark Rushton writes for the Abbotsford News, sister paper to the Peace Arch News.

No cutbacks, just changes Editor: Re: Overhaul HandyDart, Aug. 15 letters. In response to Phyllis Ogis’ letter to the editor, I would like to assure your readers that HandyDart service is not being cut back. In fact, the number of trips is being increased for persons with disabilities in Metro Vancouver. TransLink strives to find ways to serve the transportation needs of people with disabilities, while also operating efficiently and within our means. We are working hard to make the best use of existing resources and delivering as many trips as possible. HandyDart trip bookings are based on customer demand. This year, trip denials have risen – from 1.5 per cent of trips provided in 2011 to three per cent in 2012 – and continue to be an ongoing concern. In response, TransLink began a pilot taxi project last April that reallocated 10,000 hours of budgeted HandyDart service to taxis. Under this pilot, those who are able to make a trip by taxi on select routes will have that service, freeing up trips for others whose needs are best met by HandyDart vehicles. It is expected that through diverting these service hours, HandyDart will realize an increase of 7,000 customer trips without an increase to the budget. More importantly, this will reduce the number of trips that are denied for our most dependent customers, who have limited or no other transportation options in the region. TransLink recognizes the growing demand for both conventional and custom transit. The people who live here and the officials who they elect to represent them are discussing how best to meet that challenge. The use of taxis to provide some HandyDART trips is one step in developing a more efficient and sustainable transit system that will continue to improve the quality of life for persons with disabilities.

TransLink executives to book and impress upon them that the public interest should be paramount? R.M. Strang, Surrey (Editor’s note: Letter-writer Roy Strang writes a monthly environment column for Peace Arch News.)
Wrong numbers Editor: I’d like to express my concern over the statements made by Minister of Industry James Moore, with regards to the “increase in competition” in the telecom industry. The underlying premise of Moore’s stance is that Canadians will benefit from the increased competition by way of cheaper cellphone-plan prices. I disagree with this premise. Verizon, if they were to provide service here, would not be cheaper. Just as Target has not initiated a lowering of retail prices in Canada, neither would Verizon. I don’t think American telco prices are cheaper than ours, and Verizon is certainly not a low-priced provider. If Moore thinks prices are too high here, let him state what a reasonable price should be. Let him also provide the rationale for the price in terms of building the telecommunications infrastructure. Canada is a geographically large country with a small, highly dispersed population. Does Moore realize that despite this challenge, Canadian telcos provide
unsurpassed services to Canadians? Will a foreign competitor build their own infrastructure? If cellphone-plan prices don’t drop, no additional infrastructure is built and few Canadian jobs are created, then why are we, the taxpayers of Canada, subsidizing a large foreign telco to come here? Why are we letting them buy one or two Canadian telcos on the cheap? Why are we letting them bid on a subsidized spectrum auction on the cheap? Give your head a shake, Minister Moore. While you might be drumming up support for the next election, you are certainly not doing Canadians a favour. Advinder Greywall, Surrey
Filmed men gave consent Editor: Re: Local border officials get second season, Aug. 22. I am one of the producers of Border Security: Canada’s Front Line. Your reporter has made factual errors in this article that could easily have been corrected if she had bothered to talk to us. She did not request an interview and appears not to have bothered checking her facts in any other way. She is repeating false information that has already been discredited. The article says we filmed “despite privacy objections… a raid by Canadian agents in which migrant
workers were arrested and some later deported.” There were no privacy objections at the time of filming in the incident your reporter refers to. Our very strict privacy procedures were followed and all the men filmed consented to being filmed. However, none of those men have ever been publicized or identified in any way by us. And none of the men filmed were “migrant workers.” Migrant workers arrive in Canada legally and have work permits. The men who were arrested were all allegedly in the country illegally, and allegedly working illegally. Most have since been deported. Rob Bromley, Force Four Entertainment president

If nudity isn’t sexual, why not shed personal undergarments as well, weather permitting?a M. Downey
Males make nudity sexual Editor: So a recent media event – Sunday’s international Go Topless Day – suggested “nudity isn’t sexual.” Maybe not, but the male of the species, I’m afraid, has definitely made it so by their reaction to the female breast – staring, ogling, touching, etc. This is definitely sexual, the way I see it. Another thing; if nudity isn’t sexual, why not shed personal undergarments as well, weather permitting? That is, if nudity isn’t truly sexual, as claimed by some. M. Downey, Surrey

Editor: Re: Bus change, Aug. 20. It’s not long ago that TransLink altered the 351 bus service between South Surrey/White Rock and Vancouver so that travellers were forced – at no little inconvenience – to change at Bridgeport Station. Now we learn SkyTrain faregates cannot recognize bus paper tickets and so travellers will be required to pay twice – the cost of a trip will be doubled during off-peak hours. Is this simply a cash-grab, or just sheer incompetence? At the same time, we hear that TransLink executives are to receive significant salary increases (TransLink salaries on rise, Aug. 20.) This is outrageous! When will our politicians bring

Media snub smart-meter lawsuit Editor: Re: Lawsuit off to a ‘slow start,’ Aug. 20. Like a car, any worthwhile process must begin in first gear, and it can only gather momentum as awareness grows. It is growing. The smart-meter class action has its work cut out for it. It doesn’t have an advertising budget or paid workers, as BC Hydro does. It has no rich investors either. Many people would participate if only they were aware of the possibility and the details. The mainstream media aren’t telling them. This grass-roots action has some vocal detractors who would like to see it fail. The key will be for concerned citizens to stand up for real choice and an honest opt-out from BC Hydro.
The no-risk action is open to both renters and homeowners, with or without a smart meter, who don’t want an intrusive and risky two-way transmitter in their personal living space. Citizens for Safe Technology Society volunteers are working to provide information and make registration forms available. Registration is key. The sign-up process is not difficult. The amount given to support the action will be up to each individual.

A man accused of punching his girlfriend in the face during an argument outside of a Marine Drive restaurant is scheduled to stand trial on charges of assault and uttering threats in October. Charges against a 28-year-old Surrey resident were sworn on June 6. According to police, the incident was reported on June 3. Const. Janelle Shoihet said the victim, a 30-year-old Delta woman, told police the assault occurred at 11 p.m. June 1, and that there had been “ongoing issues” throughout the day. The boyfriend “accused his girlfriend of checking out other guys,” Shoihet said. A verbal altercation apparently arose over paying for drinks. Things escalated when the woman didn’t want the man to drive home, due to alcohol impairment, Shoihet said. “She got him to not drive… he went outside of the car and she threw the phone at him. It dropped and broke,” Shoihet said. “He got back in and punched her, once in the eye and once in the jaw.” Mandeep Paul Singh Ghangass is scheduled for trial on Oct. 2. – Tracy Holmes

Changes proposed to municipal voting rules
Pledged reform for elections Jeff Nagel Black Press
A ban on anonymous contributions in municipal elections is among the reforms the provincial government is pledging to have in place the next time local voters go to the polls to elect councils in November of 2014. Details are to be spelled out in a white paper next month. But Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Coralee Oakes said additional changes will also require disclosure and registration of thirdparty advertisers in local government elections. Sponsorship information will
also be mandatory on all election advertising, and campaign-finance disclosures will have to be filed within 90 days, instead of 120 days. Limits on campaign spending for candidates, organizations and third-party advertisers are also coming, but they will be held back for implementation for the 2017 elections in order to allow more time for consultations. The province is also expected to push municipal campaigns up one month, to run in the third week of October starting in 2017. Oakes said the changes will improve transparency and accountability, calling them the most significant modernization of
local election legislation in nearly two decades. The changes will apply to elections for municipalities, regional districts, park boards, the Islands Trust and boards of education. Union of B.C. Municipalities president Mary Sjostrom said she’s pleased with the commitment and said the government’s phased approach should ensure the changes work well for the full range of B.C. communities. NDP local government critic Selina Robinson was critical of the delay to impose a campaign spending cap and said she’s not sure why the province needs more time and a white paper to act.

Liberals out-spend NDP in election Jeff Nagel Black Press
The BC Liberals spent $11.75 million this year on their way to a come-from-behind provincial election victory. The governing party, which listed $8.5 million in donations, out-spent the NDP, which listed spending of $9.4 million and received $9.7 million. The disclosures released by Elections BC Monday include amounts spent before the formal 60-day campaign period when
specific limits apply. The Liberals spent more in advance of the May 15 election. Within the 60-day campaign itself, the Liberals spent nearly $4.3 million to the NDP’s $4.1 million. Corporate contributors gave $5 million in donations to the Liberals, followed by individuals at $2.4 million, unincorporated businesses at $420,000 and $385,000 from other sources. NDP got nearly $2.6 million from individuals, $2.5 million
from trade unions and $2.1 million from corporations. The Green Party of B.C., which won its historic first seat in Oak Bay-Gordon Head, did so on spending of just $180,000. The Green Party spent more than the B.C. Conservative Party, which listed $155,000 in expenses. The central party expenses don’t count the additional spending at the local level by individual candidates or constituency associations.

Performers at a Hungarian street-dancing festival in the country’s capital.
Beautiful sights in Budapest i from page 11 We talked about Crisis #1 and #2— laughing until we doubled over. It was not funny. ••• The visit to Budapest was fantastic. It is a stunning city and we walked on the banks of the Danube River with all the other tourists under the summer night sky. A Hungarian, about the same age as I am, sang me a love song in a romantic little restaurant, where he played the violin. I heard a tourist choir sing Ave Maria in the Matthias Church and it was so beautiful that I wept. We saw all the sights and we lived safely in Mrs. Kereksne’s funny little boarding house, close to the Parliament buildings. We saw Hungarian dances at a
street festival. At the magnificent Opera House, we sat outside, on the steps, listening to a opera singer practising for the evening’s performance. ••• Today, in my home in White Rock, I wondered why the smugglers did not kill us. We had been witnesses… No, wait, wrong word. Accomplices. Did becoming Comrade Audrey save our lives? My comrades and I, we really got that little job done efficiently. In The Smuggler’s Den.

White Rock nonagenarians mark milestone anniversary
Seven decades of wedded bliss celebrated Sarah Massah Staff Reporter
Two White Rock nonagenarians celebrated a love that is standing the test of time last Friday, marking their 70th wedding anniversary. Alexander and Shirley Dalgleish (née Bockus) celebrated the milestone with family and friends at Evergreen Baptist Campus of Care Aug. 23. Daughter-in-law Gail Dalgleish said the two longtime lovebirds – both 94 – enjoyed cake and music at the ice cream social held at the retirement residence. And despite the seven decades of married life, Gail noted that their love is as strong as ever. “Their love hasn’t faded. Through the ups and downs, the good and the bad times, they’ve loved each other,” she said. While Gail and husband Steve – the eldest of the four Dalgleish children – can not recall the story of how the two met, the family has almost every other memory meticulously recorded by Shirley, who kept love letters, photos and announcements from the day they were married on Aug. 25, 1943 to the birth of each child and so forth. “They have quite a rich history,” Gail said. While Shirley lived in White Rock from an early age – and was crowned May Queen in 1930 at the age of 12 – Alexander lived in East

Vancouver. The two met in war time when Alexander was a pilot officer, later marrying at Buchanan Church in Vancouver.

Shortly after, Alexander was stationed in Lethbridge, then Gander, before eventually being sent off overseas to Dover to fly in raids over Europe, leaving behind his

pregnant wife. With her husband off to fight in the war, Shirley moved in with her in-laws and gave birth to baby number one. Throughout the tumultuous time, the two would keep in contact through love letters pledging their devotion. “One of the things that gave me
a lot of insight into how profound their love was are the letters,” she said. “Their longing for each other was evident in the letters they wrote for each other and the fact that he came home safely so they could spend the rest of their lives together was a gift they thanked God for every day and never took lightly.” After all four of their children were grown and had moved out to start families of their own, the Dalgelishs moved back to Shirley’s hometown of White Rock, where they have lived for the last 30 years. The duo spent countless hours in their community and were highly involved in St. John’s Presbyterian Church, Meals on Wheels and even a seniors drop-in centre they organized. Alexander also hosted a local cable program on Shaw dedicated to seniors issues. While the two have slowed down in the community work, they still make time for each other, Gail noted. “They always held hands, they still do. And they kiss each other as often as possible,” she said. “In this day and age, I think it’s a unique love story. So many people give up – and I won’t say it was always roses when they were together – but they always took the time to work it out.”

So it’s vital that this investment be protected in every possible way, firstly by maintaining it on a regular basis and secondly by carrying out renovations, whenever possible, to give it a new and fresher look. Home renovations contribute a great deal to the economy of this country. Indeed this sector equals or even exceeds construction of new homes in some years. Keeping up the maintenance of a house and carrying out high quality renovations offer many different advanages. A house which is looked after properly will retain or even increase in value. When the time comes to sell, owners don’t just recuperate their investment, but in a lot of cases they can also realize a certain amount of profit.

Cloverdale resident takes on ‘Concrete Hero’ challenge
The obstacles are no barrier Kristine Salzmann Black Press
What has motivated Ryan Hewgill to leap, climb, scramble, swing and sweat his way through downtown Vancouver? Family, for one. Personal drive is another. The Cloverdale resident has signed up for today’s Concrete Hero, an urban obstacle course that will benefit the BC Cancer Foundation. Concrete Hero organizers have created obstacles that replicate “a mix of iconic British Columbian landmarks” along a seven-kilometre route in downtown Vancouver. Racers will climb several buses in the “Lions Gate Lockdown,” swing across the muddy waters of
Contributed photo
Participants in previous years. the “Lost Lagoon,” and scale two storeys over “the Chief,” among other urban-themed obstacles, organizers said in a media release. The event ends in a block party. Hewgill, 40, heard about Concrete Hero after climbing another iconic local landmark, the Grouse
Grind. He had reached the top, just having beat a personal record, when he met a few people promoting the race. He registered as an individual, comparing what he knows of the event to Tough Mudder, an annual obstacle course hosted in Whistler. But the added draw of Concrete Hero was the opportunity to honour members of his family affected by cancer. His mother passed away from pancreatic cancer, and both his father and sister are cancer survivors. “Unfortunately, it (cancer) does affect many, many people, and it has affected many people in my life,” Hewgill says. “It’s time for me to get more involved, especially with the family I have who’ve been affected.”

Theatre hosts fundraiser based on television show
Clova to run Amazing Race Jennifer Lang Black Press
Think you’ve got what it takes to win The Amazing Race: Cloverdale? Look no further than the Clova Cinema. Cloverdale’s family-run movie house is inviting teams to sign up for its latest creative fundraiser. This Sunday, teams will race around Cloverdale against other groups, but unlike the popular reality TV series that pits various duos and couples zooming across the globe, this Amazing Race is for groups of four to six people who will be stopping in at various businesses in the historic town centre. The race starts at the Clova at 5731 176 St., where groups will receive the first clue that will lead them to the next location for their next clue. “If you can guess all the loca-

screen movie house has been saving up to purchase a muchneeded digital projection system to replace Ethel and Martha, the Clova’s 35-mm projectors. Clova owner Craig Burghardt is reluctant to charge higher ticket prices to cover the expense, even though the conversion is necessary or the business will have to close its doors. The Amazing Race: Cloverdale gets underway on Sunday, Sept. 1. Participants are asked to arrive at the Clova at 1:45 p.m. The entry fee is $5 for kids aged four to 12, and $10 for teens and adults aged 13 and up. Enter in groups of four to six. Those who don’t have anyone to enter with can be added to another group. Email clovacinema@telus.net for more information, or visit www.theclova.com

Cameras, aircraft among tools helping bust sockeye poachers
DFO steps up Fraser patrols Jeff Nagel
CHEVROLET PERFORMANCE STAGE
Black Press
Fisheries officers have doubled their patrols on the lower Fraser River to battle poachers who are illegally catching threatened sockeye salmon to sell into the black market. All fishing for sockeye has been shut down in response to a low run size and dangerously high river temperatures to ensure as many of the salmon get upriver to spawn as possible. But Department of Fisheries and Oceans area director Herb Redekopp said the “full-out conservation closure” hasn’t deterred illegal fishing on the river. “Last night we ran into another group of poachers,” he said Friday, adding officers made arrests and seized illegally caught salmon, gear and a boat. “That’s happened nightly in numerous groups and in different areas of the river.” He said eight vessels had been seized as of Friday, along with 50 nets, and 27 investigations are in progress that have or are expected to result in charges under the Fisheries Act. The most intense illegal fishing is happening between Surrey and Spuzzum, in various hot spots around Agassiz, Chilliwack and the Fraser Canyon. He said poaching can be particularly lethal at the canyon,

Sockeye salmon fishing has been cut off due to a low run size. where salmon heading upriver use backeddies to rest and an illegal net dropped in can quickly pull up a full set. Redekopp said DFO is using night vision imaging, remote cameras, helicopters and other aircraft to detect probable poachers for interception on the ground. “We’re using every bit of technology available to us as well as intelligence that we’re gathering from the public.” No commercial or recreational fishing for sockeye has been allowed this year. Pent-up demand for sockeye has driven prices up and prompted much more illegal fishing than in past years, he said.
“There’s a huge illegal marketplace for black-market salmon.” Fishermen are getting about $20 a fish, Redekopp said, and some buyers are paying up to $50 each. Some of the fish being sold now may have been caught in aboriginal food fisheries that were legally conducted earlier in the summer but are not authorized for sale. Redekopp said many poachers busted on the river appear to have long criminal histories and may be fishing as a source of easy money to feed drug addictions. The maximum penalty for illegal fishing is a $100,000 fine, along with forfeiture of gear, vessel or vehicle, and up to two years in jail.

Despite rising fares and looming service cuts, top executives at BC Ferries still collected big performance bonuses this year. President and CEO Michael Corrigan got a $64,421 “incentive payment” on top of a base salary that was up eight per cent to $364,000 for a total of $563,000 in overall remuneration – the maximum allowed after a cap on payouts was put in place last year. BC Ferries’ executive compensation disclosure says Corrigan’s bonus reflects his “exemplary leadership” that was borne out by the corporation beating its financial target for the 2012-13 fiscal year. Chief financial officer Robert Clark got MONTHS± FINANCING ON SELECT more than $133,000 FOR UP TO ROGUE MODELS in incentive pay and executive vice-president Glen Schwartz got an extra $127,000 based on performance.

Bonuses send ‘wrong message’ Simons, however, said the BC Liberals have had plenty of time to act. BC Ferries has reduced its executive by almost half and cut their overall salaries by more than 50 per cent, Stone noted.
It was another year of full steam ahead for incentive bonuses handed out to BC Ferries executives.

Art show returns, pays tribute to founder’s late wife Alex Browne Arts Reporter
The West Fine Art Show has become known over the past three years for offering a view of the West Coast – from the glories of nature to evocations of urban lifestyle – as seen through the eyes of outstanding artists, all of whom are available to mingle and chat
with the public. But the fourth edition, which comes Sept. 6 to 8 to the usual South Surrey venue, retired senator Gerry St. Germain’s Indian Springs Land and Cattle Co. ranch (19339 8 Ave.), has a deeply personal theme for the event’s founder and co-organizer, artist Murray Phillips.
This year’s West Fine Art Show, subtitled ‘Remembering Betty,’ is in honour of his late wife, who passed away June 1, following a battle with cancer. As usual, a charity is the recipient of some of the proceeds. “The decision was made by Murray and Betty, before she died, to run this year’s show in support of the Langley Hospice, where
Betty spent her last few weeks,” said artists and co-organizer Brian Croft, adding it’s a fitting tribute to someone, past participants agree, was central to the success of the three earlier shows. Featured work at this year’s show will include pieces by Phillips and Croft, plus Gaye Adams, Craig Benson, June Bloye, Carmel Clare,
Bryan Coombes, Debra Gow, Lalita Hamill, Denise Lemaster, Mark Hobson, Doug Levitt, Esther Sample, Nathan Scott, Joe Smith and Dennis Webber. Hosted by St. Germain and his wife, Margaret, the West Fine Art Show will also be sparked by the input of celebrity hosts Red i see page 36
Surrey dance teams win big at hip-hop competition
High praise in Vegas Evan Seal Black Press
Four Surrey hip-hop dance teams proved that they could break, pop and bust a move with the best in the world. PraiseTEAM Dance Company from Surrey placed two teams on the podium in this month’s 2013 World Hip Hop Championships in Las Vegas, Nev. Brotherhood, a team made up of high school-aged dancers, won gold in the varsity category, while PraiseTEAM took silver in the megacrew division (15-plus dancers). The two younger groups – Cookies N Cream and Dream Chasers – placed tenth and seventh respectively in the youth category. “It was amazing,” said member Missy Reyes. “Very stressful but fun.” The teams, aged between eight and 25, began training on their strength and cardio last September, along with performing routines at the Don Bosco Community Centre in North Surrey. But the training became more focused in June, with practices twice a week and four-hour sessions every day in July. “The competition in Las Vegas is really

SayYES to
intense,” said Reyes. “So we had to add more practices.” In Las Vegas Aug. 11, the teams competed against 2,500 other dancers from 42 different countries, with judging based on creativity, execution and crowd reaction. The dance company, especially the megacrew group, tries to offer a positive story or Christian message in their music selections and their routines. In their final routine, the crew used the story of the Wizard of Oz to impart the message that if you use your mind, heart and courage, you can overcome evil and find your way home. PraiseTEAM dance company began offering hip-hop classes in 2000, and now offers more hip hop than anything else, and according to Reyes, the music and the groove are what young people appreciate most about the style of dance. Over the summer, the school offers free classes for kids just wanting to experience dance, with instructors who volunteer their time. As far as future goals Reyes says the group would love to go on tour to continue spreading their love of dance. Check out www.praiseteamstudio.com for more information.

CAREVEST ® MIC FUNDS
Surrey pipers win big Surrey’s Jack Lee, internationally noted bagpiper and Pipe Sergeant for the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band, has taken first prize in a recent prestigious piping competition in Scotland. His win of the Senior Piobaireachd (contest for former gold medal winners) at the annual Argyllshire Gathering, in Oban on Aug. 21, was part of what has been described as a “historic” sweep of the top awards by B.C. pipers at this year’s event. Fellow SFU piper Alan Bevan took the Highland Society of London gold medal at the contest, while Vancouver Island piper James Troy received the contest’s silver medal. Close on their heels was another Surrey piper, Andrew Bonar, who placed fourth in the gold medal competition, following a best overall piper win – out of a field of 50 – at the Perth Highland Games. While SFU performed well in its March, Strathspey and Reel (MSR) program on Glasgow Green that morning, during the medley performance in the afternoon the band was hit by a downpour of cold, driving rain and wind gusting to more than 45 km/h (blowing some spectators’ umbrellas inside-out). “It was going pretty good for us until the weather hit us like that,” Lee said at the time. “Not the worst we have ever had in 32 years, but close. Then after that we got (sunshine) and it’s not a level playing field. The bands after us have an advantage. The judges aren’t allowed to take the weather into account. “They have to judge each band only on what they hear.” But it has not been an unprofitable trip for Lee, who also won the Masters Invitational Solo Piping contest in Glasgow, and was consequently invited back to the Glenfiddich Championship in Scotland in October (he was the first North American piper to win the contest, in 2003).

Auto-racing, after all, has historically been a maledominated sport, so at the track, Hazard, in her words, “stuck out like a sore thumb.” Fast forward four years and she still a focus of considerable attention – but this time, only because her fellow drivers want to pick her brain about her car and her strategy. Winning will have that effect. Hazard is the reigning points champion in the ICSCC Spec Miata Championship series – a circuit that includes tracks throughout the Pacific Northwest – and this year, she is again in the lead. Last year, she was also named driver of the year in the CACC (Canadian) series. “When we first started going to the races, I would just sort of absorb all the information I could from everyone,” said the 42-yearold South Surrey resident. “Now, it’s coming full circle for me – now people are coming up to me and asking, ‘what are you using for tires?’ or ‘what’s your setup?’” She admits her quick rise from rookie to respected veteran still catches her off-guard at times – like when other racers introduce her as “Tracey, the one to beat” – but still remembers what it was like to be the new girl on the scene. In the ICSCC, there’s about six (women) now, but you’ll still see people come out to watch, and look at the cars, and they’ll see you and just look at you, like ‘Huh?’” Hazard began racing four years ago after she and her husband, Tom – who doubles as her crew chief and mechanic – bought a sports car and wanted to test it out on a track. Hazard signed up for a driver-training course and Mission Raceway, and “kind of

had the bug from there.” Soon after, they bought a Miata that was race-ready – modifications which included the interior torn out and a rollcage installed – and started racing. Hazard had never raced at any
level before, nor even shown much previous interest in it. “I’ve always been crazy about cars. I go through cars like other women go through shoes,” she said. “But racing? Not so much.” Nevertheless, zipping around

the track at high speed fueled her competitive spirit, which is what drives her to succeed even now, four years and numerous accolades later. “I’ve always been competitive – ever since I was a kid,” she said. “I was competitive gymnast for 10 or 12 years, track and field, tennis – all kinds of stuff. I’d do anything, play anything. “Even in elementary school, I was like that. As soon as I found out you got a ribbon for winning a race, I was all about winning.” She’s so competitive, in fact, that
she has three fully functioning race cars, rather than the typical one. That way, should something go wrong with one car, she has a backup and doesn’t have to sit on the sidelines. The extra cars are especially handy on weekends with multiple races, where there isn’t time for repairs to be done. “It’s not normal to have that many,” Hazard said. “But I’m fighting for points, and I’m so competitive that, if my car is destroyed, I have a backup ready to go.” In her four years behind the wheel, she has had a few crashes, she said. Once, on a straightaway, she crashed into a concrete wall – hard enough that the wall cracked – and also has “ended up flipped over once.” Usually, though, the car’s damage is limited to bumps and scratches, and more than a few lost mirrors. “You drive so close together,” she said. Adjusting back to life away from the track is also tricky at times, she admits – especially fresh off a race weekend when it takes her a few days to gear down the adrenaline. “I really have to dial it back, really have to concentrate,” said Hazard, who is also a highperformance driving instructor. “But I’ve never – knock on wood – got a speeding ticket.” Next up for Hazard is three-race weekend in Mission Aug. 31-Sept. 2; the racing season wraps up in October. Next year, her Hazardous Racing team will look to compete on a pro series in California, which Hazard says “is extremely competitive.” “I’ll be knocked back down the totem pole a little bit,” she said. Because the sport is an expensive one – Hazard guesses last season cost about $100,000 – she and her husband are always seeking additional corporate sponsors.

Eagles prep for new season Black Press
The BC Hockey League (BCHL) season is right around the corner. The Surrey Eagles – coming off a championship season in which they advanced all the way to the Royal Bank Cup – held training camp last week at South Surrey Arena, and played their first two preseason games on the weekend, both against the Chilliwack Chiefs. The Eagles topped the Chiefs
7-4 in South Surrey on Friday night, then the two teams played to a 3-3 tie Saturday in Chilliwack. Surrey has one more preseason game on the docket – Thursday in Chilliwack, also against the Chiefs – before the regular-season begins with the BCHL Showcase, which will see all 16 BCHL teams play a series of games in Chilliwack. Surrey’s first game of the showcase is slated for Sept. 6 against the West Kelowna Warriors,

Cloverdale team wins at regionals and nationals
Spurs snare silver Rick Kupchuk Black Press Cloverdale Minor Baseball has a pair of silver medals from regional and national competition. The Cloverdale Spurs placed second at both Baseball Canada’s 15-and-under Bantam Boys Championship in Vaughan, Ont., and the 18-and-under Western Canada Midget AAA tournament in Winnipeg. In the 15-and-under competition, Cloverdale dropped the final 8-1 to Ontario in a game that was close until the top of the seventh inning when the eventual champions scored five runs. The Spurs had an early lead, scoring their run in the second inning when Matthew Poirier singled to score Noah Or. Ontario scored two in the top of the third inning to take a lead they would not surrender. Representing BC Minor Baseball at the 11-team championship tournament, Cloverdale began the round robin competition with two consecutive losses. Their only game Thursday was a 4-2 loss to Ontario. Cloverdale trailed 4-0 before getting on the scoreboard in the sixth inning. Cole
Ensing singled to score Tyler Hoefer, then Carter Loewen went home on an Ontario fielding error. Spurs pitcher Poirier allowed just one unearned run in three innings pitched but took the loss. He had three strikeouts and allowed two hits. Loewen pitched two innings, allowing two unearned runs while collecting three strikeouts. Cloverdale fell to 0-2 (won-lost) and was on the verge of elimination from the championship after dropping a heartbreaking 4-3 decision to the host team from Vaughn. Leading 3-0, the Spurs allowed two runs in the sixth inning and two more in the seventh. The game was scoreless until the fifth inning when the B.C. champions took the lead. Brodan Bydeweg singled to score Or from second base, then Loewen drew a bases-loaded walk to score Chase Stewart. Stewart earned an RBI in the sixth with a sacrifice bunt to score Tanner Carmont. Four Spurs pitchers combined for 13 strikeouts, with Hoefer getting seven and Allan Hogg collecting five. i see page 42

South Surrey’s Deon Clifford loses medal by half a second
Tight race for local runner Sarah Massah Staff Reporter
Ocean Athletics club member and South Surrey resident Deon Clifford was half a second away from nabbing a medal at the Pan-American Junior Championships held in Medellin, Colombia last weekend. The 18-year-old clocked a time of 9:25:87 in the men’s final 3000-m steeplechase Saturday, just .30 seconds behind
Colombia’s Nelson Andres Blanco, who came in third. According to Jim Clifford, Deon’s father and a coach at Ocean Athletics, the Peninsula runner followed a conservative race strategy because of the high altitude of the venue, going out near the back of the pack for the first few laps and slowly working his way through the runners. With 500 metres to go, Clifford was in third
Quick turnaround i from page 41 After the slow start over the first two days, the Spurs turned things around on Saturday with two wins and the necessary run difference to earn second place in their pool and a berth in the semifinal round of the playoffs. The first win was a 10-3 victory over Quebec. Taking advantage of five Quebec errors and five
place, picking up the pace as he neared home. Despite the final push, Clifford was unable to match the speed of gold medal winner Yuber Echeverry (9:16:37) and Canadian Antoine Thibeault (9:17:09) who took home silver. In the final lap, Clifford ended up in a close race with Blanco, who took home bronze with a time of 9:25:57. According to Jim, Clifford was pleased with his effort, but
could not find the energy on the last lap when he felt the effects of the thin air. “He just felt the altitude effect, felt pretty weak and struggled over the last lap and the other Colombian caught up to him,” Jim said. “It was pretty exciting, pretty darn close.” Clifford will now prepare for the Canadian Cross-Country Championships slated for Nov. 30 in Vancouver.

walks, the Spurs scored their 10 runs on just six hits. Or, with a pair of singles and two runs scored, was the top batter while Cole Ensing threw a complete-game three-hitter for the winners, walking just one batter while striking out five. Later in the day, Cloverdale scored three times in the sixth inning to break a 1-1 tie and defeat Alberta 4-1.

Located just moments from Morgan Crossing and Grandview Corners, you’ll be able to take advantage of everything the neighbourhood has to offer, including shopping, dining and recreation.
Inside your home, you’ll find a spacious open floorplan with plenty of contemporary features. Among them is a chef ’s kitchen with a dining island, stainless-steel appliances, granite/quartz countertops and a modern designer glass tile backsplash. The entire kitchen is complemented by the Metropolitan Evoke Wide Plank laminate flooring that continues through the living and dining area, with plush carpeting in the bedrooms and large porcelain tile in the bathrooms.
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
There are four different two- and three-bedroom floorplans available at Breeze, ranging from approximately 1,122 to 1,445 square feet.

Affordable luxury in White Rock at Avra By Kerry Vital
Amenities and amazing homes abound in White Rock, but the Avra Development Group is bringing something new to the area with Avra, its condominium development in uptown White Rock that combines curb appeal, location and high-end design in one gorgeous package. “People have nothing but great things to say about Avra,� says Vice-President and Director Chris Tsakumis. “The response has been overwhelmingly positive.�
The homes are move-in-ready and available for a quick possession, Tsakumis says. “We’ve responded to the market’s request for larger suites,� he says, noting the availability of custom homes that are actually two floorplans combined together to make a single suite. These range from about 1,300 to over 1,600 square feet, which Tsakumis says has been particularly attractive to downsizers. “These allow our downsizing clients to find something they’re comfortable with,� he says. “It’s been received really positively.� Tsakumis says that residents don’t have to give up some of their possessions when they purchase one of the custom floorplans, simply due to how spacious they are. There are three different custom plans available in the building, along with a penthouse floorplan. It’s obvious that the developer has gone above and beyond with Avra, and is catering to buyers who are looking for a gorgeous seaside lifestyle and plenty of space to live or relax. “No other community can offer something
custom like this,� Tsakumis says. “Avra is the only concrete high-rise community with brand-new extra-large two and three bedroom suites.� The high-end features at Avra are definitely one of the biggest draws for buyers. Gourmet kitchens with granite countertops, beech or oak wood veneer cabinetry and stainlesssteel appliances will suit any chef. Some homes include an integrated workstation; a convenient touch for those who work at home or study. The bathrooms are soothing and luxurious, with their own elegant cabinets, marble slab countertops and backsplash and a bathtub fit for a spa. The Kuzco chrome-finish wall sconce puts everyone in the best light, and is complemented by the framed silver vanity mirror and sleek ceramic tile tub and shower surround. “There’s a great architectural vision and design here,� Tsakumis says. “We are very confident in the product we’ve built. It’s
affordable luxury.� Avra is perfectly located to take advantage of the amenities on offer in White Rock. The building is moments away from shopping at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre and other local boutiques, as well as dining, services, leisure and recreation. You’re also situated near excellent schools, including Semiahmoo Secondary with its International Baccalaureate program. That school has been a major draw for families looking for the best education for their children, Tsakumis says. Perhaps best of all, you’re just minutes from the White Rock waterfront. Because of this, the views from your new home and its floorto-ceiling windows are simply incredible. Inside Avra itself, you’ll find a fully furnished entertainment lounge with a full kitchen, a fitness centre, barbecue patio and guest suite, as well as several outdoor courtyards. A live-in resident manager is available as well, providing hotel-style service to each resident. Homes start at $319,900, with the custom floorplans starting in the low $700,000s. For more information, visit www.avraliving.com, call 604-531-9030 or visit the sales centre at 1455 George Street, open Saturday through Wednesday between noon and 5 p.m.
