Public-private partnership for a new twin-rink arena pitched for South Surrey

Hockey club makes play for more ice Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

With ice time at a premium and registration numbers rising, Semiahmoo Minor Hockey Association is talking with the City of Surrey and a private developer about building a new arena in Grandview Heights. Entering into a public-private partnership on a new twin-rink facility – in which Semi-

ahmoo teams would be the primary tenants – would help alleviate the association’s biggest current problem, which is finding local practice and game times for its teams. “We are highly oversubscribed,” Semiahmoo Minor Hockey’s director of capital planning Pat La Rue told Peace Arch News. Last year, the association hired a consultant to examine the issue, and it was determined

that, with the ice time available at White Rock’s Centennial Arena and South Surrey Arena, the association has adequate space for 400 players. Last season, more than 1,000 players were registered to play. “It’s our mandate as an association to get as many (children) playing as we can,” La Rue said. “We could turn around and say we’re going to turn kids away, but that’s never been

what we’re about.” In order to accommodate all its teams, Semiahmoo has in recent years bought ice time at other arenas across the Lower Mainland, including Langley’s Sportsplex, the Surrey Sport and Leisure Centre in Fleetwood and Delta’s Great Pacific Forum. “Increasingly, it’s become a real challenge i see page 2

Seasonal suggestion debated for White Rock’s waterfront

Food-truck plan leaves bitter taste for restaurateurs Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

When it comes to food trucks on White Rock’s waterfront, Marine Drive merchants have little appetite. The sentiment was delivered to city officials by the executive director of the White Rock Business Improvement Association Wednesday, during a community meeting

Trunk Show

APR.11/14

organized to gauge the interest in – or distaste for – the idea of adding the food vendors to this summer’s seaside menu. Lyn Hellyar told Peace Arch News she doesn’t know of any waterfront restaurateurs who support the city suggestion. A key concern, Hellyar said, is the potential impact to summer rev-

enue that they rely on to carry them through the winter months, when beach traffic tapers off significantly. “They need those really good summer months,” she said. “Our biggest concern as a business improvement association is the number of businesses that are closing and also, would the food trucks really enhance the experience on

the beach or is there something else that could enhance it? “We… feel that they could do other things.” The meeting was organized following council’s approval last month of hosting a return of food carts to the waterfront, including installation of concrete pads and electrical connections for three vendors.

While staff had recommended allowing up to four of the food trucks to operate in the westernmost waterfront parking lot, adjacent to Bayview Park, council voted to hear what the public thinks. Hellyar was among about 40 people who took advantage of the opportunity. i see page 4

Grandview eyed for ice rinks i from page 1 to find local ice. We get parents saying, ‘Why do we have to drive so far for our kids’ practice?’” Currently, all rinks in Surrey – save for the smaller Excellent Ice facility in east Panorama Ridge – are owned and operated by the city. However, Laurie Cavan, Surrey’s general manager of parks and recreation said they are “always open to new and creative ways to build and run new facilities.” She said initial discussions have taken place regarding a new South Surrey arena, though no plans or timeline have been set. “What I can tell you is that we’ve received some proposals,” she said. “We are evaluating them, but at this point it is all in the preliminary stages.” The proposed facility – which would Nick Greenizan photo include two sheets of ice and, potentially, Aquatics centre is set to open this summer. other amenities, La Rue said – is being eyed for a plot of land just south of 24 Avenue, tions presented to the minor hockey associawhere 160 Street bends into Croydon Drive. tion by the consultant’s feasibility study, La The property is immediately south of a pro- Rue said.

Fire, police and SPCA officials investigate a suspected arson at a Cloverdale farm. the 16600-block of 50 Avenue – were sworn Wednesday. Ignacio Pitpitan Medina of Surrey is charged with one count of arson and two counts of assault with a weapon; the latter, in connection with minor injuries suffered by two men during an argument that occurred just before the fire.

Medina is due back in court on April 16. SPCA officials have confirmed the property in question is familiar to them. Surrey firefighters who doused the flames contacted the society with concerns about the condition of animals they saw. Senior animal-protection officer Eileen Drever told PAN the society’s cruelty investigators were not dispatched; however, “night emergency” officers did attend. Regarding one other serious fire last week – on March 31 in the 18600-block of 88 Avenue – the case has been closed. However, police remain suspicious “because of some of the circumstances around it.” The former mushroom barn was reportedly housing a large medicinal-marijuana grow operation. According to the police report, no physical evidence to determine its exact cause or justify a criminal investigation was found. Should new information arise, the file will be re-opened.

Students target drivers

Graphic reminders A bloody child being wheeled into a hospital on a stretcher, with a driver being hauled away in a police car, is one of the youth drawings being handed out to drivers for infractions in school zones during, and after, the spring break. The graphic “tickets” are a part of the “Think of Me” campaign spearheaded by Surrey RCMP and ICBC, which picked up again last week following spring break. “This is a great opportunity to involve students, school staff and parents to raise awareness about the vigilance we as drivers must have when travelling through school zones,” Cpl. Bert Paquet said in a news release. Prior to the break, more than 200 of the tickets were issued. Now, with school back in session, RCMP are issuing fines. ICBC local road safety co-ordinator Karen Klein noted drivers should be aware the warm weather means more children on the roads. “We’re also encouraging parents to take this time to review the rules of the road with their children and … to make sure they’re taking the safest route,” Klein said.

Contributed drawing

A joint campaign by Surrey RCMP, ICBC and local schools uses students’ drawings in an attempt to prompt speeding drivers to slow down.

Berner drops request for early release from jail

Carol Berner convicted driver

The woman jailed for killing four-year-old Alexa Middelaer while driving drunk has changed her mind about seeking parole. Parole Board of Canada officials confirmed Friday that an April 16 date set to hear Carol Ann Berner’s application for early release was cancelled after Berner withdrew the application. The Delta woman is serving a 2½-year sentence in connection with the May 17, 2008 death of Alexa, who attended preschool in Crescent Beach. The toddler – the daughter of Southridge Junior School head Laurel Middelaer – died of injuries suf-

fered when Berner drove into her as she stood at the side of a Ladner road with her aunt, feeding a horse. Alexa’s aunt, Daphne, was also struck, and suffered serious injuries. Found guilty in July 2010 of two counts of impaired driving causing death and bodily harm and two counts of dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm, Berner began serving her sentence in March 2013, following unsuccessful appeals of her convictions and sentence. In addition to prison time, Berner was handed a five-year driving ban.

She is up for statutory release in November. Meanwhile, efforts to recognize police officers who put extra focus on getting impaired drivers off the road continues. Ceremonies inducting officers who remove at least 12 such drivers from the road in a calendar year onto Alexa’s Team are held throughout B.C. – including in South Surrey – annually. Wednesday, the efforts of more than 100 officers will be celebrated during an event at Southridge School in South Surrey. – Tracy Holmes

Ten worst scofflaws have dozens of unpaid tickets apiece

Fare evaders owe thousands Jeff Nagel Black Press

An Abbotsford resident with $14,583 in old TransLink fareevasion fines owes more than any other scofflaw now being denied licence and insurance renewals by ICBC. Data released by the insurance corporation show all of the top 10 transit fine offenders it tracks have at least 35 unpaid tickets issued from 2002-2012 and owe more than $4,000 each. Together, their unpaid fines total $73,000. Five of the top fare evaders are from Surrey. One is on the hook for 56 unpaid fines totalling $8,418, while the others have 36 to 45 unpaid fines and owe between $4,000 and $6,000. Three Burnaby residents are on the list. One has 86 fines totalling $11,678, followed by one with 46 fines owing $7,831 and another owing $5,326 for 41 fines. A New Westminster resident has the 10th highest number of fines – 35 worth $5,800. On April 1, ICBC began denying auto insurance and driver’s licence renewals to motorists with unpaid TransLink tickets issued in 2012 and earlier, in line with provincial legislation passed that year. A total of 37,000 old unpaid fare evasion tickets worth $5.7 million are now subject to ICBC “refusal to issue” holds. The identities of the top fare evaders listed by ICBC were

Mayors not in the driver’s seat

f at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. At least that appears to be the motto of the provincial government as it takes yet another stab at fixing its relationship with TransLink. This time, Victoria will attempt to empower the Metro mayors’ council that it previously emasculated in the last reform under thentransportation minister Kevin Falcon. Excuse us if we aren’t convinced that this sop to get the mayors to back Christy Clark’s election promise for a referendum on transportation funding will do anything to change the dysfunctional relationship between regional mayors and the province. At first glance, the latest change looks like a good deal. If approved, the legislation would make the mayors’ council responsible for approving long-term strategies and investment plans, and figuring out how to pay for them, instead of merely rubber-stamping the work done by a professional board. The mayors would also take over the budget and staff of the former TransLink commissioner, with the power to approve fare increases and sell assets. But then there is also this: The mayors get to be in the hot seat for TransLink complaints and customer satisfaction – previously the job of the impartial commissioner. For this handover of responsibilities, the mayors would get the plum of saying when and what the referendum question will be with the caveat that they have to meet the province’s deadline of June 2015. All of this ignores the fact of where the real power lies – in the hands of the provincial government, which pays lip service to regional decision-making, putting TransLink up as a straw man and then toppling it when it chooses to. For example, if the province wants SkyTrain technology, that’s what residents will get. If Victoria wants the Massey Tunnel replaced on Highway 99, that’s where the money will go. The province gets the photo ops on the big infrastructure, while the mayors get to fiddle with the small stuff on the margin that no one wants to pay for. If this is the province’s best offer, we’d hate to see what the worst offer would be.

All this will be costly to set up, but the savings from having customers do their own data entry are well known, as any banker or supermarket owner can tell you. “You can understand that if you’re in the vital statistics office and this can all be done from places like Telegraph Creek and Horsefly remotely, that actually saves them a lot of money,” Wilkinson said. “There will be conversion of existing services where you have to go into an office and wait around and fill out forms. Those will be converted to online services.” It also means a decline in the number of government office jobs, and the potential for further outsourcing of services, as we have seen with Medical Services Plan administration and the back-office functions of BC Hydro.

Surrey history repeats itself

Taking jobs for granted

Editor: The direction and tone of any city is established by its civic leaders. In Surrey, they are the Surrey First electors group under Mayor Dianne Watts – invented to cull together a group of disgruntled councillors led by deposed mayor Doug McCallum and his Surrey Electors Team (SET). What happened next was the reinvention of SET with all its existing members intact. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent. In the run up to 2014 elections, Surrey First should be celebrating its accomplishments and boasting its vision for the future. The reality is that First is deeply mired in controversy – all of it self-inflicted. The new ‘direction and tone’ for Surrey was never achieved. In fact, the issues under SET dating back to pre-2005 remain. First has continued the tradition of rampant development cleverly disguised as the Surrey City Development Corporation. The development sector has thrived under a regime that is systematically stacked against any public or community opposition. Crime, addiction and homelessness remain today just as before, but with a huge difference. Today, all areas, including South Surrey, are dealing with an influx never before experienced. What has almost always been a Whalley/ Newton concern is now widespread and common throughout our city. As mayor, McCallum’s heavy hand directed then-councillor Watts to sanitize the bad news coming out of Surrey – in effect, telling Watts to tell the RCMP what they could and could not say or report on. Watts correctly refused, accusing McCallum of being a bully among other things. Watts handily went on to become mayor. Today, little has changed and is in fact worse. The existing police committee stopped keeping minutes and disappeared from public oversight. Rookie Councillor Barinder Rasode was held out to be responsible, despite her adoption of Surrey First, its methods and direction from the mayor. Watts announced she would be in charge and Rasode was out. Imagine, getting fired for doing what you were told to do? What is most disturbing are longtime sitting councillors who remain mute, in lockstep with the missives of the mayors. Sadly, history will record their character flaws and deny them credit for the many good contributions made. It is true that when you find a trickle, a river runs not far away. The issues are many and the methods sadly, are the same as before. Rebranding Surrey from the ‘City of Parks’ to the ‘Future Lives Here’ is but a chilling reminder of how little has changed. Let’s hope there is a champion in their midst who will walk the talk and bring Surrey back from the edge. Mike Proskow, Surrey

Editor: The federal and B.C. provincial governments – ‘ConservaLibs’ – have teamed up to give cash rewards to companies who will give Canadian jobs away to immigrants. It is called the Immigrant Employment Council of B.C. They give ‘grants’ of up to $200,000 per organization. The total amount of your tax dollars you unwittingly contributed has risen 260 per cent in three years to $1.8 million. In 2004, the BC Liberals gutted the apprenticeship program in B.C. and created an artificial labour shortage. Now they are trying to reap the rewards by exploiting cheap offshore labour. According to the last Stats Canada report, immigrant males get 63 per cent of the wages that their Canadian-born counterparts receive. For women it was 56 per cent. An immigrant worker is a compliant worker, because he has no recourse. These are 2005 figures, as the feds gutted Stats Canada a few years ago. Big business, on the other hand, gives ‘contributions’ to the ConservaLibs in return for ‘grants’.

Cozy. But the ‘grants’ are coming off of the backs of taxpayers. And the taxpayers are assuaged by the calming TV ads, $64 million for the two years leading up to the last election by the BC Liberals, and $600 million from the Conservative feds since they got into power; paid for by you and me. Isn’t it time we stopped using euphemisms like ‘contributions’ and ‘grants’ and call them what they really are: bribes. With all these millions flowing between business and politicians, the ConservaLibs are shills for the rich. R.K. Grace, Surrey

Support invaluable Editor: Thank you to all who helped Larry Robinson and me throughout his public battle with cancer and his passing on March 15 (City grieves for ‘courageous’ councillor, March 18). Your love, help and support have been truly invaluable. He was a wonderful, honest, hard working, intelligent man, a good and loving husband, son, father, stepfather, grandfather and friend to all. His love and commitment to

White Rock was seen by many through his meticulous and dedicated work for our city. Thank you also to the hundreds of mourners who came out to say goodbye to their friend, colleague and councillor at his Celebration of Life (Robinson was ‘inspiring to all of us,’ March 25.) Rest in peace, Larry. You will be loved and missed more than you could ever know. Ann Robinson, White Rock

Profiting while seniors sink Editor: Re: Rising rates adding to seniors’ burden, April 3 editorial. Your editorial is correct in noting the burden placed on some seniors by rising corporate rates. While Hydro and ICBC made a profit last year, no reductions were passed along to customers. The government extracted around $300 million from each corporation which flowed into its sinkhole to “balance the budget.” So they say. A sinkhole is “a hole in the ground providing a route for surface water to disappear underground.” So apt. Mary Garner, White Rock

As long as people ignore the warning signs, trains will continue to sound their horns, letter-writers suggest.

Keeping safe and sound at night Editor: Re: Train horns easy to quell, April 1 letters. While letter-writer Robert Melynchuk may think he has a great idea, there are some flaws in his “simple and inexpensive” solution to silence train horns at night. First, hi-rail trucks cannot operate on the track at the same time as a train. Transport Canada regulations stipulate that maintenance and patrol vehicles must be protected by having “exclusive occupancy” of the track. Railway tracks are divided into “controlled blocks” by signals that allow trains into that section of track. The controlled block for this section extends between the U.S. border and Colebrook Road at 127A Street; hence, a maintenance vehicle must be off the track before a train is allowed into that section of track. Second, a fully loaded train weighing more than 16,000 tons takes as much as two kilometers to stop when traveling at speed. Therefore, even if they could violate the rules and operate this vehicle in front of the train, it would have to be so far ahead that it would provide zero protection for the trespassing pedestrians. Third, if this vehicle did encounter trespassers, would it not use its horn to warn said trespassers? Lastly, with 12 to 15 trains operating on a 24/7 basis

through this area, staffing and vehicle logistics would be prohibitively expensive. Currently, locomotive engineers only have to blow the whistle at night if there are people on or near the track. Far better solution is to educate people to: • Look both ways before crossing the track, • If you see a train approaching, don’t cross the track, • Most important, don’t ever walk on the tracks. Chuck Ingram, Surrey Q The perpetual complainers in the Peace Arch News about train whistles had better get used to the fact that trains are here to stay. The reason they blow their horns is because there are still idiots walking the train tracks and cars that try to beat the crossing guards. As a regular to the beach, I see this all the time. I am an 82½-year-old who is thankful that I can still hear the reminiscent sounds of the trains and the purr of the wondrous commuter jets overhead. Besides, trains and planes were here long before most of the few troubled complainers, so relax and revel in the opportunity we have to hear these sounds. Alex Beleski, Surrey

Distracted driving penalties to be reviewed

AG takes note of death toll Tom Fletcher Black Press

“Should there be points attached to holding the handheld device and talking? Probably,” Anton said. “Should the fines be higher? Probably, so I’m having a look at both of those.” Another statistic that caught Anton’s attention was the 51,000 distracted driving tickets handed out in B.C. in 2013. She said

that’s a “huge number” that suggests the message of distracted driving is not getting through, and a reminder that seatbelt use and impaired driving also took time to impress on the public. The Superintendent of Motor Vehicles is analyzing B.C. driving habits and will report to Anton, who is considering changing penalties later this year.

VICTORIA – More people are dying from distracted driving than drinking and driving, and that has caused Attorney General Suzanne Anton to reconsider whether B.C.’s penalties for using smart phones behind the wheel are tough enough. Anton said the latest statistics from 2012 show 81 deaths from distracted driving in the year, compared to 55 related to impaired driving. “People seem to know that they must not drink and drive, but distracted driving, people don’t seem to have the same level of awareness,” Anton said Wednesday. B.C.’s Motor Vehicle Act currently sets a $167 fine for talking on a handheld mobile phone, and $167 plus three demerit points for emailing or texting while driving. Ontario recently raised its fine from $155 to $280, with a maximum of $500 for those who Drop into the South Surrey location of Johnston Meier contest the fine and are convicted. and enter to win a $100 Gas Card. A few weeks ago Anton (Next Draw April 30/14) wasn’t convinced higher penalties would help change driver behaviour, but she said Wednesday she was disturbed to discover that B.C. has more Insurance Agencies Group distracted driving deaths than Ontario, which has 102 - 1750 152 St., White Rock • 604-538-8833 three times the population.

Slower ambulances result in immediate complaints: firefighters

Concerns over wait times Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C. firefighters say a downgrade in priority for less-urgent medical calls by the B.C. Ambulance Service has resulted in much longer waits for paramedics. Complaints to Surrey Fire department were “immediate,” according to Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis. “We almost instantly started seeing some complaints,” Garis said Friday. “People want to know why nobody showed up.” A reallocation of ambulance service last fall shifted dozens of call types – for incidents where the patient is medically stable – so that those ambulances now roll at posted speed limits without lights and sirens. Officials say it’s meant an average of six minutes slower arrival times to those calls, but allowed one minute faster to urgent lifeor-death emergencies, while reducing the risk of high-speed crashes. B.C. Professional Fire Fighters Association president Mike Hurley disputed the figures. “Our experience in the field is it’s anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes and longer for an ambulance to show up,” Hurley said, noting calls no longer dispatched at high speed include serious falls, hemorrhages and certain pregnancy calls.

File photo

Firefighters noted longer waits. Dr. William Dick, vice-president of medical programs at B.C. Emergency Health Services (BCEHS), said the changes flow from a rigorous two-year review that assessed the risks of highspeed ambulance driving. “It’s safer to the driving public, it’s safer for our paramedics and it’s safer for our patients,” Dick said, likening the change to hospital triage that give the most urgent cases priority. Dick said a rolling analysis has found no change in medical outcomes for reduced-priority patients. Several fire departments and municipalities have criticized the change. Vancouver Fire Department estimates ambulance response times average 21 minutes slower and Burnaby has reported a jump in long waits. Dick said reports of extreme waits are anomalies and none of

the cases involve people in medical danger. Fire departments maintain they’re uniquely placed to act as first responders, as there are many more fire halls than ambulance stations. Mike McNamara, president of the Surrey Firefighters Association, fears fire halls one day won’t get dispatched to calls deemed less urgent, leaving patients to wait longer without aid. “One crew waited over 45 minutes for a lady that fell and broke her hip,” he said, noting of particular concern are cases when unclear 911 calls result in wrong priority designations. “There is room for error there. What happens when (dispatchers) get it wrong? We’re just down the street and it’s a real emergency. We’re just minutes away from helping this person and we’re not going.” Dick said there are no plans to exclude fire halls from lowpriority calls if the city wants its firefighters to respond to provide “comfort care.” “I will not arbitrarily cut anyone off,” Dick said. “I question the wisdom of spending a really expensive resource when it’s not required medically. But it’s not my decision to make.” – with files from Kevin Diakiw & Diane Strandberg

He argued the winning threshold should be 50 per cent plus one regionally and also passing by a simple majority in two-thirds of the municipalities, similar to the rules for referenda run by Elections BC. Instead, the very brief bill exempts the TransLink referendum from the regulations that apply in a provincial referendum. Bateman said the proposed legislation

is also devoid of rules on spending limits during the campaign, or of any definition of TransLink’s role, including oversight of TransLink-issued information. “One lesson of the HST referendum was the blowback the provincial government got when it was being too aggressively proHST,” he said. The legislation doesn’t yet spell out what new taxes or tools might be used to fund TransLink. The province is still considering the options, which include a vehicle levy, a regional sales tax and road pricing.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Terry Ross has closed the doors on his longtime business

A ‘Foto’ finish for retiring entrepreneur Alex Browne

Staff Reporter

erry Ross, genial advisor for almost five decades on all things photographic at Foto Source – and its earlier incarnations – spent his final work day in the Central Plaza store last week. “I finally decided it was time to take that step and retire,” Ross said, noting it’s been 47 years since he first clocked in at the small camera counter at what was then Reid’s Western Drugs. “They called it the Camera Corral,” he laughed. “They locked me in in the morning and wouldn’t let me out until I’d sold something.” Over the years, the White Rock business has morphed – first growing to ❝People are become a key still capturing component of the moment.❞ the drug store, then splitting Terry Ross with it entirely owner in 1982 – until over a decade ago when Ross decided to join Foto Source, a marketing group with 200 affiliate stores across Canada, for which he has since served as a director and chairman of the board. But the majority of Ross’s working life since 1967 has been at Central Plaza – never moving more than a few hundred yards as new premises became available. The initial offer to work at the drugstore came at the right time for Ross, who now serves as president of the South Surrey and White Rock Chamber of Commerce. His working life at that point had included stints with Air Canada, with a photography studio in Vancouver and at a printing shop in Burnaby. “I didn’t like the commute,” he said, noting working with cameras and film was a natural fit, as he’d been heavily involved in photography as a student at the old Semiahmoo Secondary. “Me and (Surrey-White Rock MLA) Gordy Hogg were there at the same time – we had our 50th

After nearly five decades on the Peninsula, Foto Source owner Terry Ross is passing on the business. reunion last year and 65 people showed up.” But Ross, who was born in Winnipeg and moved to the West Coast when he was just starting elementary school, said his interest in photography went back even earlier. “I had box cameras back as long as I can remember,” he said, chuckling when it’s observed that most working in photography

today would consider it a remote, historic device. “That’s why I keep all that equipment up there,” he said during one of his final shifts at the family business, pointing to a top shelf lined with an array of outmoded still and movie cameras, projectors and other archaic equipment collected over the years. “It’s all digital today,” he said, noting the store still handles more

tactile work, including passport photos and film processing, but mostly special print orders. “People can bring in their digital file and we can make a print or a coffee mug or a mousepad of it. And, and even though everyone’s got digital cameras, if you leave a photo album on a coffee table, everyone likes to look through the photos.” But he doesn’t bemoan the march

of technology, or the fact that many photographs today are taken with cellphones. “People are still capturing the moment,” he said. “The only thing that worries me is that people are all interested in looking at the picture right away and uploading it, but then they delete it. There are going to be some big gaps in people’s lives and memories a few decades from now.” But digital technology is helpful in keeping memories alive, he notes – particularly in restoring old and historic images, which has become another integral part of the Foto Source. Just as the business has changed, the community has grown up around it. “When I first came to White Rock in Grade 5, the shopping centre wasn’t even here – uptown was Five Corners, and we used to get our mail at a post office down by Semiahmoo Park.” Ross has been heavily involved in his community in that time. In addition to his long-standing chamber membership, and latterly with the White Rock BIA, he spent 32 years as a volunteer firefighter. He and his wife, Carol, (who cut her own hours at the store back to one day a week in recent years) have also been closely involved in Semiahmoo Secondary, which their children Melody, Michael and Marci attended – he as president of the alumni association and she as president of the Semiahmoo Music Society. Proving that tradition is strong in the family, Michael will take over running Foto Source, Ross said, while Melody is now a teacher at Semi – specializing in English, the yearbook and photography. And even though the senior Rosses look forward to the opportunity to do more travelling, they intend to be very present in the community – both through their work with the chamber, and in supporting various activities and initiatives. “We’re still around,” he said. “We like being involved.”

12 contestants take the challenge to get fit and healthy. Follow along and watch as they achieve their goals! www.kinsfarmmarket.com/greenfighters Beginning April 16th, follow Stephanie’s 8 week journey to a healthier lifestyle. Stephanie will be up against 11 other Greater Vancouver contestants in the hopes of becoming the ultimate Green Fighter and winning the grand prize.

Stephanie takes the challenge for South Surrey! Reason for Applying: I’ve tried many times to stick to a healthier regime – trying to work out more or eat healthier, always taking on too much and giving up after a week or two – which was easy as I didn’t have anyone to keep me accountable besides myself. Although I’m not overweight; all of my height is in my upper body and without having core strength that leads to having incredibly terrible posture. I really want to get fit and healthy, not just fit into a smaller size. My husband and I want to have kids soon, mid August soon and now is the perfect time to forget about past attempts, give up the excuses and buckle down for our future family. Also diabetes and cancer run in our family, so having a sweet-tooth for ice cream and chocolate is a dangerous combination – when a lot of healthy greens and exercise hasn’t been consistently in the mix.

All About Stephanie Jennings! Height: 5' 8.5" Weight: 155 lbs Current Fitness Level: Light exercise 2-4 days/week. Current Diet: I don’t watch what I eat and tend to overeat. Canadian Cancer Society Fundraising Goal: $5000

Surrey Archives heritage series takes shutterbugs back to the ’50s

Photos paint vivid picture Travel back to the 1950s through two lectures presented by the Surrey Archives this month as part of its spring heritage series. See Surrey through the eyes of a tourist in 1953, the year English tourist Janet Hurst visited the city. Hurst’s Surrey 1953 tells her travel story through her unique collection of journal entries, postcards, photos and other mementoes. It’s presented Saturday, April 12. Neville Curtis’s Surrey (Saturday, April 19) views the city, its residents and public spaces through the lens of a local photographer whose work offers a window into life in the 1950s. Curtis worked as a freelance reporter for the Vancouver Sun, White Rock Sun, and wrote a column for the Surrey Leader, according to Memorybc.ca. On May 3, the city’s history comes to life in vivid images from the archives collection in Surrey in Colour. Participants will learn about hand-coloured photographs and the art pieces that have documented Surrey’s history. Acclaimed local historian Derek Hayes speaks about the cartography of the Fraser Valley when he presents his talk, Historical Maps of B.C. (May 10).

PAR for the COURSE

Peace Portal: Two distinct courses designed PPGC: Drive carefully A familiar adage comes to mind when describing the Peace Portal Golf Club: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Not much has changed on the pristine 130-acre property in recent years. Not much has to. It’s, in a word, spectacular. “We’ve been here since 1928, so you have old-growth trees lining all the fairways,” said general manager Rob Falk. “It’s not a golf course propped up amongst a bunch of houses, so you’re pretty much in a park-like setting. We are happy with the course the way it is.” Playing at 6,388 yards from the tips (6,103 whites; 5621 forward), there is enough distance to challenge every level of player. And with the course’s natural maturity, two words of advice are: drive carefully. “Being built in 1928, back then they didn’t build 7,000-yard golf courses… but if you don’t hit it straight you can post some pretty high numbers for such a short course,” said Falk. And if the distance is not a challenge, the size of the greens will be. “They are postage-stamp at best,” he added. “Small greens, with a lot of undulation, on and around the greens. Being five feet off the green is no gimme to get it up and down. If the pins are in the wrong spot it can be tough to get the ball in the hole.” Although Peace Portal has a country club feel as you drive onto the property – the old-growth foliage gives it a distinct sense of privacy – Falk is quick to point out that this is a course for everyone. “We are open to the public pretty much

365 days of the year,” he said. “We have a small membership of about 150, which are very active in how much they do play, but that leaves a lot of room for the public.” It’s also the perfect course for small office tournaments, stag parties or other celebrations. “We don’t have a huge clubhouse with big food and beverage facilities, so we like booking 12 to 32 (players) – that’s the size we can handle,” said Falk. “We get quite a few of those types of bookings throughout the year.” Water comes into play on five holes and there are just enough bunkers on the course to pose a challenge, without being an overwhelming obstacle. Boss’s picks: Best par 3: No. 12 (170 yards from the whites) “Far and away the toughest par 3 on the course. Miss the green left, short or right and it’s difficult to get your par.” Best par 4: No. 5 (448 yards) “Worthy of its number-one handicap. Dogleg right, so even if you smash your best drive and hit it right you have no shot at the green. You have to hit it long and hit it left to even have a chance at getting to the green.” Best par 5: No. 13 (497 yards) “Fairly narrow opening, unless you hit it really long off the tee. The Campbell River comes into play on your second shot and you are hitting up to an elevated green on your third shot.” Call 604-538-4818 to book your tee time today.

PAR for the COURSE

to accommodate every level of golf game available.” There are no traps on the course, but water does come into play on two holes, so there are some of the familiar hazards. The lack of traps is by design. “Sand is not good for beginners,” said Hamm. “It doesn’t add to the pleasantness of the game.” Peace Portal Par 3 is gentle on the nerves, and best of all, it only takes an hour (or so) to play. “Nine holes is easily completed in one hour and 10 minutes,” said Hamm. “So for someone who just wants to swing a club, it’s not an all-day venture. In the summer, you can get nine holes in even if you are teeing up at 7:30

at night. Worst case scenario is that you are here until 8:45, 9 p.m. and you have enjoyed a nice round of golf.” Boss’s pick (most challenging hole): No. 6/15 (82/63 yards) – “It’s the one where you have to go over the water and at a small green,” said Hamm. “It’s the shortest hole, but it’s visually intimidating. And there’s an out-ofbounds fence not too far over the back of the green. So if you take too much club, there’s another hazard you have to deal with. So it is a little bit of a skill test.”

Whether you’re new to the game, warming up for a long round or just want to sharpen your short irons, the Peace Portal Par 3 serves the purpose. This nine-hole par 3 course, cut into the old growth synonymous with the Peace Portal, has two sets of tees, so golfers can enjoy a shortened version of the 18hole game. Longer than a pitch-and-putt, and shorter than an executivestyle layout, the Peace Portal Par 3 is perfect for the beginner. “Ideal for the beginner, for the gals, and even for the seniors, with White Rock being a big seniors’ community – it just fits perfectly,” said manager Maxine Hamm, who has been running the course since its inception, in 1993. “The value of this course is that most of the time, you can get close to, or on the green. So there’s a feeling of reward right away, as opposed to the big course where you just slug, slug, slug and you’re not getting anywhere.” But it’s far more than simply a beginner’s course. With hole distances ranging from the attackwedge length of 63 yards, to the midiron distance of 161, there is plenty of range here for the more seasoned golfer who is looking to spruce up the short

game before attacking the PPP3’s “older sibling” across the parking lot. And while for a lot of golfers, the ultimate target is to graduate to the full-length Peace Portal Golf Club, there’s a consistent – and ever-growing – contingent that is quite happy to remain loyal to Hamm’s layout. “There is absolutely a base of people that this is what they will play all the time. They won’t venture elsewhere, other than once or twice a year,” said Hamm. “We maintain our golf course with the same maintenance crew as the big one, so it has that higher-end maintenance, if you like. The greens are always in top shape, and that adds to the quality of the golf.” Further evidence of the devotion to the Peace Portal Par 3 are the sign-up lists for the course’s various leagues. “For the ladies’ league we probably have a four-year waiting list,” said Hamm. “The Thursday morning group... will probably have a waiting list. We give everyone the opportunity to re-sign from last year first. Tuesday night (5 p.m.) league is getting quite full but we do have a few spots still

Eat Shop Play in the Village Spring is officially here! This year Ocean Park Village is gearing up for several community events, the Easter Egg Hunt, Cotton ‘n’ Crayon Day, the three day Village Summer Festival, Ocean Park Day and The Taste of Ocean Park Check out the Ocean Park Village website to stay connected to all the upcoming events. Ocean Park Village is the locale for your specialty shopping or just to take time out for lunch or dinner with family and friends. Benefits of Shopping Locally when dollars are spent at local independent shops up to three times as much money stays locally with the economic impact multiplying dramatically. Studies have shown when you buy from locally owned businesses significantly more of your money is used to make purchases from other local businesses and service providers, continuing to strengthen the economic base of the community. The local businesses also support our sports teams, our schools, community groups and nonprofit groups etc, so if you support them they support you in uncountable ways. Where we shop, where we eat and play, all of it keeps our community unique and makes it home. Our businesses are an integral part of the distinctive character of our community and our tourism businesses also benefit from visitors seeking destinations that offer uniqueness and charm. Small local businesses create jobs, as they’re the largest employer nationally and in our community, providing the most jobs to residents. Local businesses provide great customer service through knowledgeable staff who take pride in their business to ensure patrons have a positive experience. Next time you go out for a meal, think local first. Looking for furniture, home décor, a special gift, clothes, athletic apparel etc, think local first. It’s not always possible to buy what you need locally and so when you can, think local FIRST! The next Ocean Park Business Association meeting is Thursday April 10th, 2014, 9 am at Eurovision Optical, 1657 128th St, Ocean Park Mall, Surrey. Bring a friend who has a business in Ocean Park!

Set in the corporate offices of the World Wide Wicket Company, the tuneful (“I Believe In You”, “A Secretary Is Not A Toy”), stilltimely satire of the business world follows the fortunes of window-washer J. Pierrepoint Finch (Travis Clifford) who – armed with the titular book of advice – begins a fast climb up the corporate ladder and into the good graces of CEO J.B. Biggley (Peter Soda), with help from secretary Rosemary Pilkington (Cassidy Johnson). Also featured in the production are Rachel Fournier as fellow office worker Smitty and Emma Schellenberg as blond bombshell Hedy LaRue. How To Succeed... is directed by EMS performing-arts department head Candace Radcliffe, with the clever Frank Loesser score in the capable hands of orchestra director Rodger Owens and vocal director Bev Schellenberg, and choreography by Carol Seitz.

White Rock Players’ Club’s latest production, Moonlight and Magnolias by Ron Hutchinson (Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd., April 2-19), directed by Ryan Mooney, relates an exclusive – and hilarious – behind-the-scenes view of a movie in trouble.

Pulling strings to get director Victor Fleming (Ryan Johnson) reassigned from megaphoning Munchkins for The Wizard of Oz, he then locks Fleming, himself and ace screenwriter/script doctor Ben Hecht (Paul Ferancik) in a hotel room for five days in a desperate attempt to create a new shooting script, with the aid only of bananas, peanuts and loyal secretary Miss Poppenghul (Laine Henderson).

Many people don’t realize they have a fungal nail problem and, therefore, don’t seek treatment. Yet, fungal toenail infections are a common foot health problem and can persist for years without ever causing pain. The disease, characterized by a change in a toenail’s color, is often considered nothing more than a mere blemish. Left untreated, however, it can present serious problems. Also referred to as onychomycosis, fungal nails are infections underneath the surface of the nail, which may also penetrate the nail. Fungal nail infections are often accompanied by a secondary bacterial and/or yeast infection in or about the nail plate, which ultimately can lead to difficulty

DEVELOPMENT LOCATION MAP Doris van Koll • Shauna Fairholm • Arthur de Luis • Vicky Vishniakoff

Painless treatment for fungal nail infections and pain when walking or running. Symptoms may include discoloration, brittleness, loosening, thickening, or crumbling of the nail. A group of fungi, called dermophytes, easily attack the nail and thrive on keratin, the nail’s protein substance. In some cases, when these tiny organisms take hold, the nail may become thicker, yellowish-brown, or darker in color, and foul smelling. Debris may collect beneath the nail plate, white marks frequently appear on the nail plate, and the infection is capable of spreading to other toenails, the skin, or even the fingernails. Nail bed injury may make the nail more susceptible to all types of infection, including fungal infection. Those who suffer chronic diseases, such as diabetes, circulatory problems, or immune-deficiency conditions, are especially prone to fungal nails. Other contributory factors may be a history of Athlete’s Foot or excessive perspiration. Our treatment protocol is that we treat all 10 toes due to fungus being in the shoes and socks and transferring back and forth as it usually starts in 1 or 2 toes and spreads to the others. The treatment is approx. 35 minutes. The treatment is comfortable not painful. Call for a free brochure - we are happy to email one to you.

South Surrey runner honoured for track, cross-country performances

Bruchet named UBC male athlete of year Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Luc Bruchet UBC

South Surrey’s Luc Bruchet is ending his university athletic career in style. Last week, the University of B.C. student – who in December won a national men’s cross-country title and a month later set a new school indoor trackand-field record in the 3,000-m – was honoured for his impressive senior year, winning the Bus Phillips Memorial Trophy as UBC’s male athlete of the year.

The award was presented during the school’s 93rd annual Big Block Awards and Hall of Fame Banquet at the Vancouver Convention Centre. “It’s pretty surreal to win an award for UBC’s most outstanding athlete,” Bruchet said. “When you’re sitting there and all the accolades of the nominated athletes are being listed you realize how strong our athletics program is at UBC. It’s an honour to even be considered for such an award.” Lisa Barclay (volleyball) was named

female athlete of the year. On both the trail and the track, Bruchet, an Elgin Park Secondary graduate, has excelled. He was the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) champion in the men’s 1,500-m and finished fifth in the 5,000-m. Other finalists for the award were Coleman Allen (swimming), Maxwell Lattimer (rowing) and Tyson Popoff (baseball). In December, running for the Point

Grey Track and Field Club – which features UBC alums who’ve used up their four years of university cross-country eligibility – Bruchet captured his firstever national cross-country title at Vancouver’s Jericho Park. In January at the University of Washington Indoor Preview meet, kicking off his final indoor track season with the T-Birds, Bruchet set a UBC record with a blistering time of seven minutes, 54.57 seconds the men’s 3,000-m. His time also broke a meet record.

Alex Lane to play at Hastings College

Titan heads south

Put Some Swing in your Step

CROSSWORD PUZZLE NO. 700

Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Former White Rock-South Surrey Titans wide receiver Alex Lane is headed back to the United States. The 18-year-old Semiahmoo Secondary grad â€“ who, with his family, moved to the Peninsula from Kansas four years ago â€“ signed a letter of intent last week to play football next season at Hastings College in Nebraska.Â â€œItâ€™s great. Iâ€™m pretty stoked about it,â€? Lane said last week of joining the Broncos program, which competes in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). â€œIâ€™d been in contact with the coaches there for awhile, but only signed last week.â€? For Lane â€“ a member of the White Rock Titans midget team that won provincials in 2011 â€“ the scholarship with Hastings will return him to his U.S. roots, where he first took up the sport while living in his hometown of Chicago. From there, he moved to Kansas when his father, White Rock blues musician Jimmy D. Lane, signed a a record deal with a Kansas-based label. The family moved to the Semiahmoo Peninsula when Alex was a teenager, after his father married a Canadian.

Alex Lane is headed to Nebraska. When they first moved here, Lane would travel across the border each day to go to school in Lynden, Wash. â€“ â€œI wasnâ€™t allowed to go to school in Canada yet,â€? he said â€“Â and he eventually moved to Surreyâ€™s Sullivan Heights Secondary before settling in at Semiahmoo. So it should come as no surprise, then, that the younger Lane is not overly rattled by change, and yet i see page 23

Lane graduated from Semiahmoo in 2013 and has spent much of the last year not only weighing his postsecondary options, but also improving his skills on the field. He’s been working with Game Ready Fitness, a Lower Mainlandbased group that includes many current and former Canadian Football League players. “I’ve been training with those guys and it’s been going well,” he said. “It’s been great up here, training there and with my coaches in White Rock the last three years. I’ve met a lot of great people.” Lane chose Hastings over his other option – playing at UBC – in part, he said, because he was excited to return to a football-mad environment. “The level of football in the States is just so high, and they really take it seriously,” he said. “It’s just a really good atmosphere, and I’m looking forward to it.”

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

EMPLOYMENT/EDUCATION

Nadine passed away quietly on the morning of March 26 with her family by her side, after enduring several years of major health issues. She is predeceased by her then 20 year old son Brock in 1988. She is survived by her husband of 54 years, Donald Wilson Rattray; daughters Laura Stevens, Cheryl, and Tracy; three grandchildren, Brittany, Courtney Stevens and Cole; brother Brock Staples (Mary), sister Sybil Mooney, plus many extended family and friends. Nadine was born in Regina, Sask. She moved to Winnipeg, Man. in the mid 1950’s to attend the University of Manitoba where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Home Economics degree. Upon completion of her formal education, she married Donald in October 1959. Her working career began in Winnipeg with the Manitoba Government providing inhome care to seniors and shut-ins. She continued this line of work after moving to Vancouver where for 25 years she followed her passion to help others with the Community Home Support agency. During these years she became the Vancouver Area Manager. Nadine loved to travel and managed to visit most of the Carribean; numerous locations on both coasts of Mexico; Alaska; several places in Japan; S. Korea, and Russia. In 2009 she took her only trip to Cuba as health issues prevented her from any further travel. At Nadine’s request there will be no memorial service. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society, or your favourite charity. The family wishes to extend very special thanks to Peace Arch Hospital and staff for their care and compassion during Nadine’s final days. Rest in peace Nadine, and fly with Brock.

She is survived by her husband Rod of 56 years, three sons, Rick, Mark and Randy, daughter in-laws, Arlene and Vicky, and grandchildren, Terrin, John and Paul. A Celebration of her Life is to be held at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre, 14831 28th Avenue, Surrey, on Tuesday, April 15, 2014 at 11:00 am.

Born in Vancouver, Marjorie was the daughter of Robert J.H.Frith and Margaret A. Frith (Colquhoun). She was predeceased by her loving husband of 59 years, Edgar William Parrott, and by her siblings, Sally, Robert, and Norma. She will be missed greatly by her family: Suzanne (Chris Finch), John (Sharon), Fred (Kathy), of Vancouver, and Gordon (Bonnie) of Lethbridge AB. Mom was a loving grandmother to 11 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. She enjoyed an active life, focusing on her family and for many years was involved with children and adults in the Girl Guides. Her management and teaching skills were respected and enjoyed and in 1981 she was awarded an Honorary Life Membership in the Girl Guides of Canada. The family wishes to express much appreciation for the wonderful care she received from the staff at Morgan Heights. A celebration of her life is planned for later in the spring. Donations to the Girl Guides of Canada or a charity of your choice would be appreciated.
