Clock ticks down as scheduled opening day draws near in the midst of a labour dispute
Arrange childcare, district tells parents Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Surrey school officials are not optimistic parents will receive a last-minute reprieve. In a letter to parents this week, superintendent Jordan Tinney encourages them to “begin to make alternate arrangements for the care of their children.” “While we continue to hope for a resolution at the bargaining table, a deal does not appear to be likely this week,” Tinney writes. He notes that if a deal is reached in the days ahead, “there is still time for schools to open on Sept. 2.” The final week of the summer holiday opened Sunday with a demand in Kamloops from B.C. Teachers Federation president Jim Iker for an immediate start to mediation. No formal bargaining dates are scheduled, but Iker, Education Minister Peter Fassbender and government negotiator Peter Cameron were to meet Wednesday afternoon in Victoria, raising hopes for some movement. Teachers have also stepped up picketing as both sides prepare for the strike to stretch into September. Pickets were up outside select Surrey high schools this week. At the same time, some are offering to fill the daycare void for parents stranded by the strike. i see page 4

City of White Rock puts out call for more railings and 1.5 km of chain-link along waterfront
Mesh fencing hoped to reduce train whistles Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
New railings and chain-link mesh are coming to White Rock’s waterfront. The additions – mainly for East Beach, to be in place by the end of November – are another step towards complying with Transport Canada orders to the city and BNSF to bolster safety along the seaside train tracks. (Railway safety has been a hot topic in White Rock for more than a year, ever since a jogger was killed on East Beach tracks a week after a devastating derailment in Quebec.) Greg St. Louis, the City of White Rock’s
director of engineering, is hopeful the upcoming work will also help reduce daytime train whistling. The noise has been a source of discontent ever since the federal agency in June ordered an increase in the frequency of the warning blasts along the waterfront. The order resulted from an inspector determining trespassing on the tracks posed an “immediate threat” to safety. Following the installation last month of bollards at the West Beach boat launch, the city’s overnight (8 p.m. to 6 a.m.) whistling exemption was reinstated. However, the horns continue to be sounded every few
seconds when daytime trains pass by. “I think this (upcoming railing/mesh work) would assist with that,” St. Louis told Peace Arch News Wednesday. Coun. Grant Meyer, who chairs the city’s rail-safety task force, is also hopeful the whistling will be reduced. It continues to be the main source of concern he hears about from residents. “They just want the whistling back to the way it was and we’re working on that,” he said. “That’s the one issue I heard time and again the last couple months.” The city’s request for cost estimates for the
mesh/railing work closes at 3 p.m. Sept. 8. The successful bidder will be responsible for installing 230 metres of new railing, as well as approximately 1.5 kilometres of diamond-pattern chain-link mesh. Stretches targeted for the mesh are along Bayview Park and from the pier east. The city will foot the bill for the work. In exchange, BNSF is taking on levelling of the East Beach pedestrian crossings. St. Louis said the city has applied for six grants through Transport Canada’s Grade Crossing Improvement Program, however, he doesn’t anticipate any grant money this year.

Surrey RCMP says, because it has a large force, it can absorb the activities of units that are facing cuts. That may be the case, but as has been proven many times, these crimes are not territorial. They take place in many jurisdictions, and combined units are far more effective. Several Surrey politicians have suggested that these cuts will hurt. They are correct. The police officers who are being moved to other units won’t be the ones suffering. It will be the average people who get caught in middle of turf wars between gangsters, and it will be the young people who get caught up in what they think is a glamorous lifestyle. Only when it is too late do they realize what they have signed up for – an early grave, beatings, or, in some cases, significant time in jail. The fights over drugs and other aspects of organized crime will always be with us. However, strong and quick responses to situations, such as those that happened in 2009, are vital for the welfare of the greater community. Surrey and other Metro Vancouver areas need quick responses from police to situations of all types – and organized crime must be high on police departments’ lists.

Household garbage still strewn around vacant house months later
Neighbours still await civic intervention Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Household garbage is still strewn over the front lawn and around a White Rock duplex – close to three months after it was left by departing tenants. Resident Mitchell Spreitzer said the mess remains at the 1575/1577 Nichol Rd. property neighbouring his own – in spite of complaints to the city, bylaw officers’ requests to the owner and a Peace Arch News news article published on Aug. 5. The unoccupied duplex – for which a demolition permit has been requested by the owner – had also had three large metal containers full of asbestos insulation waste on the front lawn and the driveway. “About the only thing that happened was, right after the story came
out, the three large bins full of asbestos were pulled out and they put up a blue fence,” he said. But Spreitzer said that hadn’t been the principal concern of himself, and his wife, Michelle Jorgensen. Garbage of all kinds – including rotting meat – was left on the lawn, the driveways and all around the house up to the edge of Spreitzer and Jorgensen’s Coldicutt Road property, leading to concerns it would attracts rats to the neighborhood. Almost a month later, little has changed, Spreitzer said. “It doesn’t look any different – there’s still stinking garbage everywhere,” he said. “About three days after the story, the guy who owns the property talked to my wife, and said he was sorry, he’d been away. He promised to clean it up right away, but we’re still waiting.”
Spreitzer has said that while he was aware the owner is planning to redevelop the property, he doesn’t see why that should make it exempt from community standards in an area that boosts numerous well-kept and high-priced homes. “I’m really discouraged with White Rock city,” he said. “I pay $5,000 in property taxes each year, and they don’t do anything.” At the time the story was first reported, city communications officer Shannon Levesque said bylaw officers had been by the property and had requested the owner to remove the debris, but she could not confirm whether a time limit had been imposed or whether the city had recourse to enforce its unsightly properties bylaw. At PAN press time Wednesday, she was checking to see
whether there had been further action. For Spreitzer, it’s a drama that has been ongoing since he contacted the city planning department in June of last year to complain that the building was being used as a fourplex, contrary to the neighborhood zoning. After a city investigation the owner was given until May 29 of this year to remove the additional suites. At the time the last tenants left, a large amount of asbestos insulation was also removed from the house, which was placed in containers under WorkSafe BC supervision. Although a fence was installed around the property, Spreitzer said many health and safety issues remain. “I could go to the city and complain, but what’s the use?” he said. “We all pay a lot of money in taxes and it could happen to anyone of us.”

A child is led to safety by police officers in South Surrey in 2011 after a man was accused of abduction and assault causing bodily harm.
Sentence reduced to two years, but probation added for man on parole
Ex-wife still needs protection: court Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A man who choked his ex-wife into unconsciousness and then abducted their son has won an appeal of his sentence that effectively reduced the term from three years to two. However, due to a recent breach of his parole conditions, the win was not a clean one for Benjamin James McBeath. After hearing evidence from the Crown, B.C. appeal-court judges added a probation term of three years to his sentence. “With the enhanced credit, Mr. McBeath will have served his sentence, though it is clear that his former spouse still needs protection from him,” notes a July 17 judgment. McBeath was arrested in September 2011 after police were called to a home in the 1500block of King George Boulevard in South Surrey. There, officers determined there had been a dispute, an alleged assault and an alleged abduction. The court heard that McBeath was arrested en route to turn himself in at Surrey RCMP. In December of that year, he pleaded guilty to abduction of a child under 16, assault causing

A pair of South Surrey business owners are facing a number of accusations from the College of Naturopathic Physicians of B.C. In a petition filed in B.C. Supreme Court Aug. 14, the college alleges Sarge Sandhu and wife Sam Samrai – owners of South Point Natural Therapies – performed restricted activities, such as offering injections, and improperly used the title of doctor while dealing with clients. The college’s list of grievances also includes that the duo have been implying that they are associated with the college and are naturopathic doctors. The petition asks the court for a permanent injunction to prohibit the pair from ❝If we are not practicing naturopathic calling back, medicine, there is no administering comment.❞ injections, using the title naturopathic doctor, using the word “naturopathic” to describe any of their services and using the title “doctor” or “physician” in the course of providing professional services to the public. Sandhu and Samrai have not yet filed a response to the petition and did not respond to Peace Arch News’ request for comment. Tuesday, a woman who identified herself as the office manager, said she has been instructed to tell media who leave a message for the owners that “if we are not calling back, there is no comment.”

Teachers strike takes toll i from page 1 Elgin Park Secondary teacher Camila Muir describes the provincial government’s offer of $40 per day to help parents pay for childcare during the teacher strike as “ridiculous.” The lump-sum payouts to parents following the end of the strike will consume all of the $12 million a day in strike savings the government would have amassed going forward. It’s money that would be better spent helping improve the education system, Muir said. She decided to offer daycare in South Surrey as soon as she heard of the funding plan, but decided this week to withdraw her offer following word the work could be deemed a breach of union policy. She said her online ad gave her a good sense of the need. “There’s lots of interest,” she said. “I just don’t want to do anything (that could jeopardize a agreement).” Marion Goriak was among parents who had taken Muir up on the offer, after turning to Craigslist to find care for her seven-year-old daughter, Tasha, who is deaf. For Tasha, school is “her whole life,” Goriak said. “It’s her social life, it’s her friends.” When the strike triggered an early end to the 2013-2014 school year,
Tasha – who attends the School for the Deaf in Burnaby – was “just a mess,” Goriak said. “I’ve just been sick the whole summer, worried about what am I going to do.” Goriak said many caregivers are nervous about taking on a deaf child – or any child with special needs. “I rely on the school,” she said. “All our children need school… but for my younger daughter, so much more is at stake.” Goriak said she has enlisted family and a friend to help out, “but it’s going to be tough” if the strike continues. She knows of other parents who are in a similar position. While both sides blame the other for the gulf between positions, Goriak said she firmly backs teachers, based on her experience in the school system. “The teachers are just stretched so far,” she said. “I would like to see the government step up, do the right thing by parents.” As the two sides met Wednesday, Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg said his office has heard from constituents “on all sides of the issue.” “Hopefully, something will come out of this meeting,” he said. “We all want to see the kids back in school, the teachers back in school.” – with files from Jeff Nagel

Latest tax hike unacceptable
T
he provincial government announced its latest tax hike on Tuesday. As has been the case in recent years, it did so indirectly. In fact, the announcement was made by the Insurance Corporation of B.C., which plans to raise its basic rates, which all motorists must pay, by 5.2 per cent. The province is expecting to get $480 million in dividends from ICBC in the three years from 2014 to 2017, and another $1.23 billion from BC Hydro. Both of these massive dividend payments are on the back of ratepayers – those who have no choice but to buy electricity from BC Hydro and basic auto insurance from ICBC. This is being done so the government can balance its budget and claim to be a good fiscal manager. Meanwhile, the rate increases planned by both corporations are far beyond inflation, and are disguised as being necessary “because of more claims due to distracted driving” (ICBC) and “by the need for capital expenditures” (BC Hydro). No one doubts that there is a need for BC Hydro to upgrade its power network, or for ICBC to have enough money to pay for increased claims, whatever the cause. However, claims of balanced budgets by the BC Liberals really need to be dissected. The government is not running a surplus from its day-to-day operations. It would be in a constant deficit if it weren’t for these dividends from Crown corporations. Both of these corporations were set up to provide benefits to B.C. residents. BC Hydro was set up by the Social Credit government in 1961 and ICBC was set up by the NDP government in 1973. Neither was set up to be an ongoing cash cow for the government. The province does get additional revenue from the BC Lottery Corporation and the Liquor Distribution Branch, but there is a key difference. No one has to buy a lottery ticket or go to a casino. Nor do they have to buy liquor. Those are choices people make. They are free to choose not to use the services of those organizations. This latest disguised tax increase is unacceptable.

For his young grandson who had died. (Double gulp.) Ever the skeptics, one of our number wandered over to the small tree in question to see any sign of a memorial. And there it was. A small plaque. Things calmed quickly after that. We returned to our game, the man to his tree. When he left, someone told us later, he was near tears. Now, at this point, there’s not too many ways to swing this to make us look good. Basically, we confronted a grieving grandfather for, well… nothing, as it turns out. The thing is, I don’t fault my friend for what she did. Nor would I blame any parent who’d acted in a similar manner. Maybe she panicked, but she did so with the best interests of her children at heart. No one can blame her for that. These days, the world can be a pretty scary place. Children go missing. Women are assaulted – take, for example, two recent cases on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. Sexual predators are in our communities – some made known to us, some not – whether we like it or not. So no, you really can’t be too careful. I mean, you hate to even entertain the thought, but had we done nothing and something awful happened… It’s sad, really, that you often think the worst of people. But that’s the world we live in now, where you can’t really afford to give anyone the benefit of the doubt. I don’t know what else we can take from what happened. But I do know that nobody left the park that day feeling good. Nick Greenizan is a reporter at the Peace Arch News.

Loss of trees in perspective
Editor: As the beginning of the school year rapidly approaches, parents are growing increasingly concerned that their children are going to be missing out on more days of school. When school is scheduled to start on Sept. 2, Surrey students will not have been in classes for 80 days. Every additional day out of school is hurting our children, something we hope that both sides in this labour dispute wish to avoid. Parents understand that all educational partners care deeply about students. We recognise that both the BCTF and the government are trying to balance the interests of teachers, taxpayers, and most importantly, students. One of the responsibilities of the Surrey District Parent Advisory Council is to advocate for Surrey parents, who feel strongly that students should be back in school, as scheduled, on Sept. 2. Students deserve to be in classrooms that are free from this continuing labour dispute, and Surrey DPAC is calling on both sides to end all job action. However this labour dispute is to be resolved, it needs to happen without our children being further impacted, as they unfortunately have been for two of the last three school years already. We invite our partners in education to continue protecting the interests of students and ensure that on Sept. 2, schools are once again the places for students to learn in a safe, caring and nurturing environment. If you have further questions, please contact me at b-holmes@ telus.net or 604-319-4473. Bob Holmes, Surrey District Parent Advisory Council Q When the minister of finance announced strike pay for parents, I was one of many angry taxpayers. Having listened to some angry parents, I realize that this is a sound investment that will save taxpayers millions of dollars. On Sept. 1, some caring parents will opt out of our politicized public schools with some opting for private schools, some will form co-ops, some will take their $200 per week and buy good computer hardware to use for home-schooling. When schools open again, the students remaining will include those from homes with incompetent or uncaring parents who have no interest in their child’s schooling, and special-needs children whose loving parents care passionately for their child and their education. The minister of finance will have saved us millions of dollars, and the minister of education will have fewer children in public schools with enough to pay for a sound education of our children with special needs. Anyone who does not like these economic realities might like to try to depoliticize the B.C. public school system. Henry-Armstrong, White Rock
Editor: The infill development section of Surrey’s Official Community Plan calls for the retention of “existing trees and natural and heritage features in existing neighbourhoods, where possible, in order to preserve neighbourhood character and ecology.”
Drive through South Surrey and see for yourself the pitifully small number of trees that are retained in the high-density developments currently under construction. When hurricane-force winds blew 10,000 trees down in Stanley Park, it was a catastrophe. In 2013, when Surrey First city councillors approved developments that recommended 8,564 mature protected trees for removal, it was business as usual. Gary Cameron, Surrey

Letter writers react to anticipated impact of Port Metro Vancouver’s approval of a coal-transfer facility in Surrey.
More coal adds to our problems Editor: Re: All coal concerns addressed: port, Aug. 26. I was dismayed – but not surprised – to read about Port Metro Vancouver’s decision to approve expansion of the Surrey Fraser dock last week. I remain hopeful that Fraser Health and/or the Lower Mainland municipal governments representing the vast majority of affected residents who don’t want coalexport expansion will ensure that this never happens. I would like to dispel one myth, however. I don’t know how many times I’ve read comments that claim there are 20 or more trains a day running through Crescent Beach and White Rock. I’m retired, I’m here all the time and I live about 50 yards from the rail line. Up until about the end of June, there were an average of 14 to 15 trains a day, and four of those were Amtrak passenger trains. For some reason, since then the number of trains has dropped to about 10 per day. I don’t know what advantage those who oppose an increase in rail traffic think they gain by exaggerating the numbers. Having said that, I do want to express anger over the unnecessarily long and usually redundant engine whistle signals that we have to put up with in Crescent Beach. Transport Canada regulations state that the signal shall be two long sounds followed by one short and then a final long sound. The regulations go on to say the signals “should be distinct, with intensity and duration proportionate to the distance the signal is to be conveyed. Unnecessary use of the whistle is prohibited.” And that: “Trains exceeding 44 mp/h must sound whistle signal 1/4 mile before the crossing, to be prolonged or repeated, until the crossing is fully occupied,” and a “whistle post will be located 1/4 mile before each public crossing where required.” Such a whistle post exists for southbound trains opposite our house on the rail line. Unfortunately for those of us who live close to the tracks, the duration of the long blasts is not defined by regulation. However, most operators are reasonable and the long blasts last about two seconds. But there is at least one BNSF train operator who comes through Crescent Beach and leans on the horn for at least five seconds for each long blast. This often happens late at night, waking everyone within half a mile of the track. Can you imagine how many vehicles might be approaching the McBride Street crossing – which, incidentally, is an automatically controlled crossing – at 3 a.m.? If you can’t, the answer is none. So why do we have to put up with horn blasts late at night at all, let alone
when three of them can last as long as six seconds each? Furthermore, noise is defined by the City of Surrey’s Noise Control Bylaw as any sound that tends to disturb the rest, enjoyment, comfort or convenience of any person or persons in the neighbourhood or vicinity. I think this fits. Simon Clews, Surrey
Disappointing decision The BC Nurses’ Union is very disappointed to hear of the decision by Port Metro Vancouver to approve the controversial $15-million coal-loading facility at Fraser Surrey Docks. BCNU, which represents over 40,000 licensed and regulated nurses across the province, has expressed serious concerns about the alarming public health risks associated with coal dust, and has supported requests by chief medical health officers in the Lower Mainland for a more in-depth assessment of the coal transfer facility along the Fraser River. We have also made clear our concerns regarding the impact a project of this size would have on our fragile, coastal environment. We are proud to stand with a number of health professionals, including doctors and many others who are strongly opposed to the recent decision. The significant risks associated with the transportation of raw resources through densely populated regions are well documented. BCNU believes the health and well-being of thousands of citizens who are directly or indirectly impacted have not been fully considered in this decision. Christine Sorensen, BC Nurses’ Union vice-president Q Unbelievable – yes. Unexpected – no. How can the decision by Port Metro Vancouver be unexpected when they obediently obey the dictates of Prime Minister Stephen Harper and company in Ottawa? Unbelievable, in that we will now have up to eight million tonnes of U.S. thermal coal annually passing through White Rock, Crescent Beach, Delta and Surrey. It will then be loaded uncovered on barges moving through the Gulf Islands to Texada, where it will be piled exposed to the elements awaiting shipment to China. The contempt that PMV has shown to the public who will be affected is beyond belief. Rather ironic that this travesty is approved at the same time another port in Oregon was denied a permit to ship coal. David Gibbs, Surrey

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Brenden’s Ride for Easter Seals hits the streets Sept. 13
Ensuring the sun shines on other campers Boaz Joseph
B
Black Press
renden Parker has accomplished a lot recently. Last year, he graduated from Clayton Heights Secondary at the age of 17. He’s now working on a big fundraising effort for a B.C. charity. Not bad for a teen who can’t walk, dress or feed himself. Parker, who has advanced Cerebral Palsy (CP) and must rely on an electric wheelchair and the close support of his family, is giving back to Easter Seals Camp Squamish, a place that’s made his summers. For the last seven summers, Parker has gone to Easter Seals Camp Squamish for one week to have fun and meet other kids – and the occasional councillor – with CP. Camp Squamish, located at the foot of Mount Garibaldi and the mouth of the Squamish River, provides five six-day sessions throughout the summer for hundreds of kids with various physical and mental disabilities. Up until 2012, admission was free – with funds raised by Easter Seals and its parent charity, the BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities. In 2013, the cost to participants for one week was raised to $100 (a fraction of the actual cost), and this year, $500. The charities would cover the rest. Parker’s parents paid his “document fee” this year – because of his age, this was his final year at the camp – but Parker decided that the high cost would mean the camp could be out of reach for some families. His brainchild was Brenden’s Ride for Easter Seals, which takes place Sept. 13. The objective: To help Camp Squamish to subsidize campers, and to increase awareness of CP. “It’s all his baby,” says his father Baron. “Physically, he’s screwed, but mentally, he’s always got it on.” The plan is to gather as many as 150 riders on motorcycles (cars are welcome) to ride from Cloverdale to Camp Squamish. While Brenden will ride with his mom Sandy and sister Sarah in the family van, Baron will be on his Harley Davidson.
Breakfast will be at The Henry in Cloverdale at 9 a.m., followed by a stop at Trev Deely Motorcycles in Burnaby at 11 a.m., and then lunch at Camp Squamish from 12-3 p.m. – with food provided by Langley’s Sammy J’s Grill and Bar. Entertainment will come courtesy of Langley resident, family friend and Canadian Idol alumnus Karen Lee Batten. Baron says the afternoon fundraiser will likely include auction items such as sports memorabilia and local outings. The support from local donors and volunteers has been huge, says Baron. The cost to participate in Brenden’s Ride for Easter Seals is $25, meaning that 20 participants would subsidize one child at next year’s camps. Other funding sources take care of the rest of the cost, which totals $2,400 per child for one week. The rise in the admission cost from zero to $500 for each camper over the last two years stems from diminishing sources of income for the Lions Society, which runs Camp Squamish, Camp Shawnigan on Vancouver Island and Camp Winfield in the Okanagan Valley. The venerable Easter Seals 24 Hour Relay for the Kids has nearly reached the end of its life due to competition from other charities, says an official. And while the number of campers this past summer dropped slightly from the previous 800 or so, parents have generally accepted the new reality, says Stephen Miller, president and CEO of the BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities and Easter Seals. Miller explains that unlike other camps for children with specific diseases, the nature of the Easter Seals camps – for kids with a variety of disabilities – means that volunteers cannot be used, and the camps provide ratios of just one, two or three campers for each properly trained and paid staff member. For Brenden, the camp has been an important part of the past seven summers. He says he’s always had fun with the experience and the friends he’s made there. “It’s a way of life for me.” Pre-registration for Brenden’s Ride for Easter Seals ends Sept. 2.

YOU’RE AT SERIOUS RISK
Nenita Yap looks to future after losing family in typhoon
Weathering the storm
Don’t be among the 3.9 million Canadians who suffer from CHRONIC PAIN.
Boaz Joseph Black Press
L
ast November, Nenita Yap prayed for two days straight. The Surrey nanny was praying not only for the safety of her family, but for news – any news – out of the Philippines. The first trickle of information from the news blackout came on Facebook, but the short blip of “we’re okay” from one local source meant little in those early days. There were 15 people crammed into her family’s home when the devastating Typhoon Haiyan hit Tanauan, a small town where “everybody knows everybody” on the east coast of the island province of Leyte. Haiyan, a Category 5 typhoon, was one of the strongest tropical storms ever recorded. It slammed into Southeast Asia on Nov. 8, 2013, causing mass devastation – especially in the Philippines. It killed more than 5,000 people. The day before the storm hit, Yap was reassured by her family over the phone that they had extra supplies and the concrete house was ready for what was coming. “We thought it was strong enough to withstand the typhoon,” Yap said. Indeed, the concrete house withstood the storm itself, but there was worse to come. Days later, Yap, on the phone and on the ground among the wreckage, would hear the same two words over and over: Storm surge. “(Before the typhoon), we didn’t know what it meant.” The rush of water that Haiyan unleashed plucked, one after another, 10 members of Yap’s family from the rafters of the house, including her mother, Arnesia, and second-oldest sister Editha.

Nenita Yap lost 10 members of her family during Typhoon Haiyan. In June, the Surrey nanny won a $10,000 scholarship from Sprott Shaw College and hopes to bring her 13-year-old daughter to Canada soon. “It was like a tidal wave,” she said, wiping away tears as she recalled the catastrophe. “When I talk about them, I still get emotional,” she said. Yap’s brother, Rolly, was trapped in another – and ultimately spared – house in the town, and later helped with rescues and the recovery, while her brother, José, (Joe) remained at home, holding on to whichever relatives he could as the storm surge swept through the lower floors, finally collapsing the walls. He helped Yap’s 13-year-old daughter, Samantha, survive with numerous scrapes and bruises, but José stills feels terrible guilt for being unable to save their 78-year-old mother, Yap said.
José, in a twist of fate, had arrived home just two weeks earlier after being employed in Saudi Arabia. Two weeks later, his children died in the storm as he watched. Yap arrived in the devastated area a week after the storm. The landscape had changed and much of her family was gone. “Everything was flat. All the landmarks were gone.” While she was there, the bodies of several members of her family were recovered; others were to be found and buried weeks later. As Yap tries not to dwell on the heartbreaking story, she has the support of Surrey’s Filipino i see page 16

‘I concentrate on the family I have left’ i from page 15 community and her church, and has hope for a brighter future. “I keep myself busy. I concentrate on the family I have left.” Samantha, who is currently living in Manila, is expected to move to Canada this summer or in the fall. Yap, who has been in Canada under the Live-in Caregiver program for about three years, received her permanent-resident
confirmation on Aug. 20. “All went well,” she told Peace Arch News by email. Other good news came in the form of a scholarship won through Sprott Shaw College at the Philippine Consulate in Vancouver for an essay she wrote about the typhoon. The scholarship is worth about $10,000 and will fully pay for Yap’s seven-month health care assistant diploma program at Sprott Shaw, as well as her books
and student fees. The course began this month and will allow her to continue to work while she studies. “This scholarship will help me a lot,” said Yap, who also wants her 16-year-old orphan niece to join her in Canada. “It will make me much more employable.” At present, money from her caregiver job continues to flow back to her family in the Philippines.

Surrey companies honoured by Vancouver Regional Construction Association
Construction projects recognized Surrey construction projects have been recognized by the Vancouver Regional Construction Association. The projects were honoured at the VRCA Silver Awards earlier this month, with Surrey sweeping the General Contractor over $55 million category. The three Surrey companies who were recognized were: EllisDon Corporation, for Surrey Memorial Hospital Critical Care Tower; Ledcor, for the Guildford Town Centre Redevelopment; and PCL Constructors West Coast Inc., for the Surrey Pretrial Services Centre Expansion Project.
The Surrey Memorial Hospital Critical Care Tower was also recognized in the categories: trade contractor over $3 million (Centura Building Systems Ltd.); electrical contractor over $2 million (Houle Electric Limited); and mechanical contractor over $3 million (Fred Welsh Ltd.). Surrey Pretrial Services Centre Expansion Project also picked up awards in the electrical contractor over $2 million (Western Pacific Enterprises GP) category and Guildford Town Centre Expansion Project picked up an award in the manufacturer and supplier category (Ocean Concrete).
Each year, the CRCA recognizes the province’s best companies, individuals and projects in construction through the Silver Awards. Three Silver Award winners are selected in most categories for their use of innovative techniques, new materials or exceptional project management. One winner from each category will be chosen as the Gold Award winner at the 26th annual VRCA Awards of Excellence gala dinner Oct. 16 at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

Seamless Vacations by Paramount paramount
T R AV E L
We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional customer service and planning all the details for your vacation—at every stage. Escape, explore, experience and let Paramount Travel take care of all your guided tour and cruise needs. It’s what we do best!
COACH with PARAMOUNT Can you name the seven natural wonders of the world? Many people can name at least two or three natural wonders, the most common is the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is more than a great chasm carved over millennia through the rocks of the Colorado Plateau. It is more than an aweinspiring view. It is more than a pleasuring ground for those that explore the roads, hike the trails, or float the currents of the turbulent Colorado River. This canyon is a gift that transcends what we experience. Its beauty and size humbles us. Its timelessness provokes a comparison to our short existence. In its vast spaces we may find solace from our hectic lives.
CRUISE with PARAMOUNT Trace the route of emperors and kings on a luxury European river cruise along three grand rivers through five fascinating countries. Hug the California coastline on the Grand Princess then explore San Francisco, Santa Barbara and Catalina Island. Set sail from Vancouver to the fabled islands of paradise ‘The Hawaiian Islands’. Perhaps it is time to revisit the Mexican Riviera. Each cruise is professionally escorted. You are never sailing alone. Paramount promises

Eleganté Shoes With decades of experience in the footwear industry, a dedication to customer service and a keen eye for the latest fashion trends from around the globe, it’s no wonder Elegante Shoes in Semiahmoo Shopping Centre has been a favourite shopping destination on the Peninsula for years. As the oldest footwear store on the Peninsula Scott – celebrating nearly 30 years in business – this familyowned footwear store offers an international selection of the best in shoe shopping for men and women of all ages. “It’s all about knowing who your customer is,” owner Scott Robb says. “Retail has become very challenging in the last couple of years, due to the ups and downs of the economy, but our selection and service is what really sets us apart.” While Elegante is known for keeping an eye out for the latest styles, they have also built a strong reputation on timeless, high-quality footwear from brands like Stuart Weiztman, Ecco, Clarks, Josef Siebel, Naot and VanEli. “European products are our specialty, but most importantly, quality is our mantra,” Scott said. As summer comes to an end and the weather gets cooler, there are plenty of footwear trends to be excited about for the upcoming season, says Scott. This fall is all about boots. Perfectly paired with skinny jeans, tall, mid-calf and low boots are all in style this season. Adding an interesting touch, high-sheen leather and woven tops are among the trendy fabrics that have recently appeared. At Elegante Shoes, boots are available in many more colours than just traditional black. Expect to see a range of colours from designers available at the store, including Karston, Ecco, VanEli and Bogs Boots. For a relaxed and sporty look, slip-on sports shoes are popular this fall in brands such as Sketchers and Bernie Mev. With decades of experience in the footwear industry, the staff at Elegante Shoes is extremely knowledgeable and committed to finding their customers the perfect shoes. Scott says this is the cornerstone to running his business. To see the huge selection of great fall looks, and for the best customer service around, visit Elegante Shoes at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre today.

GRAND OPENING CELEBRATION
B.C. Animal Hospital Dr. Brandon Chan and his team at BC Animal Hospital are excited to be part of the South Surrey-White Rock community with the opening of their family-owned practice. Dr. Brandon and Noreen Chan After seven years at a busy animal hospital in the Lower Mainland, Dr. Chan and wife Noreen, a Registered Animal Health Technologist, decided to open their own full-service animal hospital on the Peninsula. For Dr. Chan, service and patient care are the top priority. He works hard to ensure every client fully understands their pet’s health by explaining complicated terms in ways that everyone can understand. “There is no such thing as too many questions,” says Dr. Chan, who was born and raised in Coquitlam and graduated from Kansas State University. “We care for your pets like they are our family, by treating them as if they are our own and providing the best possible care.” He believes in bringing you into the decision making process for the care of your pets through education, whether he is deciding what vaccine to give or what disease process he is treating. BC Animal Hospital’s services for cats and dogs include wellness and preventative medicine, vaccinations, surgery, diagnostic imaging with digital X-ray and ultrasound, and dentistry using ultrasonic scaling and polishing. At the hospital, cats enjoy their own room away from any startling noises made by bigger patients. The calm atmosphere and large window for sunlight guarantee a more pleasant experience. With cats, a dog and a bunny of their own, Dr. Chan and his wife look forward to serving you and your furry family members. They are happy to offer new clients a tour of the hospital. To find out more, drop by BC Animal Hospital at 102-15375 Highway 10, call 604372-1018, or visit bcanimalhospital.ca.

GOODBYE PAIN HELLO LIFE!
LaserHealth Solutions Located in the Surrey community, LaserHealth Solutions provides Laser Therapy treatment that has proven to be a fast and effective solution to a wide variety of tissue Dr. Robert Skleryk injuries. The team at LaserHealth Solutions specializes in treatment of whiplash, tendonitis, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff injuries, ankle and knee sprains, sciatica, tennis and golfer’s elbow, and other types of injuries. Dr. Rob Skleryk and his wife, who are both experienced chiropractors, have been in practice for 17 years. Their clinic was the first to introduce this revolutionary technology to B.C., and they have since had 10 years of experience providing the treatment. Laser Therapy doesn’t mask the pain of an injury. Rather, it treats the injury directly by activating biochemical energy and accelerating the healing process. This form of treatment works directly at the cellular level to help resolve inflammation quickly. Skin, muscles, cartilage, ligaments and tendons absorb the red and infrared light. This stimulates cells, increasing their metabolism and regenerating healthy tissue. Laser Therapy provides cells with more energy, resulting in the resolution of inflammation, reduced scar tissue, increased lymphatic drainage and improved vascular circulation. This is a non-invasive procedure, as there are no needles used in this treatment. As well, because this is Cold Laser technology, there is no cutting or burning. The effectiveness of Laser Therapy varies, but after just a few weeks of treatment, most patients report they are pain-free and have returned to their regular activities. This treatment is backed up by hundreds of scientific research studies and over 500 patient testimonials on the company’s website. To find out if Laser Therapy is right for you, stop by the Surrey clinic at 204-15230 #10 Highway, call 604-575-1331, or visit www.laserhealth.ca.

Laser dentistry can reduce the amount of bacteria in your mouth, reduce healing time and control bleeding during therapy. Laser dentistry can improve the fit and comfort for crown & bridge restorations. Laser surgery is substantially less invasive therefore generates less bleeding and less swelling during the procedure.

Whether your furry loved one just needs a check up, treatment or surgery for something more serious, this hospital is dedicated to providing health care and wellness programs based on your pet’s needs.

With a 23 year history on the Peninsula, the family-owned and operated business is now offering even more for bird-lovers to enjoy. Wild Birds Unlimited provides an unbeatable Cathy, Derek, Jessica & Duke selection of bird-related items, from bird baths, bird houses and binoculars to bird food, feeders and more. With passion for their feathered friends, the staff offer expert advice and experience on all aspects of backyard birds and bird feeding. “Providing food, water and shelter for a variety of birds in your backyard is a great way to reconnect with nature,” says owner Cathy Steele, who joined the family business in 1994. “Many of our feeders have lifetime warranties. We stand behind all our products.” From Canadian-made Tilley Endurables to Solmate Socks from Vermont and nature-themed mats and flags, Wild Birds Unlimited has a wide variety of unique items for your garden and patio. With cooler weather on the horizon, now is the time to start thinking of ways to equip your backyard for the fall and winter months. Many people don’t realize hummingbirds live in South Surrey and White Rock year-round. Using the proper winter feeders, these small birds will visit your garden during any time of the year. Wild Birds Unlimited also sells de-icers to keep birth baths from freezing and recirculating devices to keep water moving when it is cold outside. “Birds can be attracted to your yard with water.

White Rock mayor cuts ribbon with pantomime dame

Arts Reporter
here else but in White Rock do a mayor and a pantomime dame get to cut a ribbon
Erin Cebula, Spokesperson
together? Mayor Wayne Baldwin and White Rock Players Club member Bryce Mills – in full dame make-up and costume – were on hand Tuesday morning for the formal unveiling of the new 50-by-30 foot mural, The Wonderful Year We Fell In Love, on the side of the Coast Capital Playhouse. But the real star of the occasion – aside from the colourful, evocative painting itself – was artist Elizabeth Hollick, resplendent in a pink jacket emblazoned with heart designs. The project, commissioned by the club and enabled by a $13,500 grant from the city and contributions from individual residents, is Hollick’s personal valentine to Players Club history and traditions – and the tradition of the Christmas pantomime in particular, and its signature song, The Wonderful Year We Fell In Love. For Hollick, it was the culmination of a labour of love that has gone on longer than the two months it took to paint on the side of the building. It was three years ago that the project was suggested and Hollick’s design was accepted, but although fundraising was started, it stalled due to the prevailing economic climate. But, thanks to the incentive provided by a grant championed by White Rock Couns. Helen Fathers and Louise Hutchinson, chair of the the city’s Public Art Task Force, the mural is now a reality. Among those thanked by Hollick during her welcoming speech was club historian and prop-builder Tom Saunders (creator of the pantomime giraffe Shananigans and writer of the annually revised topical lyrics of The Wonderful Year…) who provided her with historic
images of club performances and personalities (including Franklin Johnson, Scott Wheeler, Enid Saunders, Phyllis Clifford, Guy and Barbara Weston, Guy Foreman, Neil Primrose and Riette Hilliard) to inspire the design. Also among those thanked were club past-president and mural proponent Dave Baron, project supervisor Pat MacClean, the Rotary Club of White Rock and Hollick’s fellow artist, Laurie MacIsaac, who was on hand to advise on certain questions of anatomy, as well as rein in some overexuberant painting (“Elizabeth!” Hollick said, mimicking MacIsaac’s deep, booming voice, “this woman has five fingers and a thumb.”). Baldwin paid tribute to the popular painter and muralist’s “perseverance, skill and probably a lot of courage painting high on the scaffold,” adding “we’ve seen her art throughout the city – but nothing on a scale like this.” He said the painting “captured the pantomime – the silliness of it, and all the good stuff that goes on at the theatre,” and said it was also a fitting tribute to a club that has been part of the city’s cultural fabric for decades. “We should acknowledge what they’ve accomplished – they’ve been here for 70 years and they’ve been doing the pantomime for some 60 years,” he said. “They’re one of the only groups of its kind in Canada that has its own building and doesn’t rely on public grants – which is a tribute to the community as well.” Among old friends and long-time supporters of the theatre who were there for the ceremony were Hollick’s daughters Briony, Deb and Jo and the painter’s youngest grandchild, Jo’s son Tiego, who also found a place in the composition. “He represents the future of the theatre, whether as an audience member, an actor, a director or as someone else behind the scenes,” she said.

Former PAN writer Kristyl Clark steps in front of camera
Valley web show on air
Alyssa O’Dell photo
Michael Thorne and Kristyl Clark have launched the Fraser Valley 5 web show. Valley a proverbial high-five for all the world to see Fraser Valley 5 is an interactive online talk show that made its debut on Aug. 7, delivering a quirky “top five” perspective of the Fraser Valley – the places, the people and events – served up in five enticing visual bites. “It’s going to have a little bit of everything,” said Thorne, a father of two and longtime Walnut Grove resident, who launched
TIMBITS SOCCER
the My North Langley page three years ago with friend Tyler McClendon. The one-of-a-kind online passion project connects people in Walnut Grove, Fort Langley and Willoughby. And while Clark usually hides behind her byline, the blogger had been toying with the idea of putting herself out there to connect on a different platform – one that provides another medium to go on adventures with daughters, Molly, 5, Zoe, 3, and husband Jason. “To be honest, I’m a little nervous about being in front of a camera – I’m usually the one taking the pictures and filming the video,” she said. “However, this is going to be such a blast. We’re not going to take ourselves too seriously.” She is hopeful her fans will be just as excited about her new project and partnership with Thorne. “I really think the people in our community are ready for something like this. It’s fun, it’s informative and it’s something that is for them. “Really, it’s not about us. We want to involve and engage our viewers – this one belongs to you guys.” To watch the program, visit www.fraservalley5.com
200,000 PLAYERS ONE REALLY FUN GAME BRODY AGE 6
With Timbits Soccer, the first goal really is having fun. And with over 200,000 kids playing Timbits Soccer, that’s a whole lot of smiling faces. Tim Hortons is proud to support each and every one of these kids, along with your local Tim Hortons Restaurant Owners who are excited to be a part of this by supporting over 11,000 boys and girls who play Timbits Soccer in the Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley area.

As two active members in the Fraser Valley social-media scene, it was only a matter of time before they connected offline. Back in May, former Peace Arch News features writer Kristyl Clark interviewed Michael Thorne, a real estate agent and one of the faces behind the popular My North Langley Facebook page, for a feature on her She’s a Valley Mom ‘blogazine.’ Once Clark was back in her car, the idea of a partnership suddenly popped into her head. “It was all I could think about on the drive home from the interview,” recalled the workat-home mom, who had spent the previous hour learning how Thorne uses social media to build his brand and help others learn more about their own backyard. “Every area that I feel like I lack knowledge or confidence in happens to be Michael’s strengths. And, to be honest, he’s just a lot of fun to work with – such an inspiring guy.” With Clark’s penchant for writing and passion for her community, coupled with Thorne’s gift for the gab and a shared enthusiasm for his hometown, one might say they’ve cast themselves in perfect roles. The duo, who met in the digital realm, is now giving the Fraser

Moon Fest highlights love, peace
2 01 5 C O M M U N I T Y G R A N T S The City of Surrey is now accepting applications for 2015 community grants from non-profit groups or organizations.
Alex Browne Arts Reporter
The White Rock Moon Festival will return to Marine Drive for three days, Friday, Sept. 5 to Sunday, Sept. 7, with traditional Chinese lily flower lanterns illuminating the pier and promenade. But while the event – presented by the City of White Rock in partnership with the White Rock Chinese Arts Centre – will feature performances, food, martial-arts demonstrations, craft workshops and a fireworks display highlighting elements of Chinese-Canadian culture, there is a broader, inclusive theme underlying the celebration, according to founderdirector Mia Chao. “Moon festivals traditionally
represent family reunions, and we are thinking of the Canadian family,” she said. “We are all Canadians, and Canadian people are coming from everywhere. Our theme for the festival is love and peace and unity. Love is the universal language – we hope everyone can join together to celebrate that.” To symbolize that theme Chao – together with co-founders Mary Wu and Lin Chen and president Leslie Zhao – plan to encourage festival participants to join hands and sing Auld Lang Syne at 6 p.m. at Friday’s festival launch and at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 6. The festival will begin with an opening ceremony at 5 p.m. on Friday, including remarks by
Mayor Wayne Baldwin. A dance party will take place from 6-9 p.m. both Friday and Saturday including music of all genres including salsa and hip hop. Saturday events will run from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. while Sunday, focusing on demonstrations and talks by local artists will run from 11 a.m to 4 p.m. A stage next to the pier will feature a wide range of entertainment, including White Rock country favourites Alanna and Brianne, classical artists and rock music as well as traditional Chinese performers, Chao said. Vendors and demonstrations will be focused on the promenade beside White Rock Museum and Archives, she added.
Faith
Organizations will normally be expected to: • have an active governing body composed of volunteers, with paid staff excluded from voting membership;
• The need for the project, the number of residents benefiting from the grant and the value to the community;
• have stable, ongoing financial support; and
• The absence of identifiable or competing services, programs or facilities in the community;
• extend their service to the general public in Surrey, not excluding anyone by reason of race, religion or ethnic background.
Who chooses the successful grant applications? City Council has established a City Grants Evaluation Committee, consisting of representatives from the community, along with two city staff members, to review all applications and make recommendations on grant payment priorities. The final decision on all grant applications is made by City Council.

Over-55 event to run in Langley next month
Athletes set to shine at Seniors Games The Semiahmoo Peninsula will be well represented when the BC Seniors Games begin next month in Langley. Nearly 60 White Rock residents, plus hundreds from Surrey, are registered in a number of sports, including hockey, horseshoes, tennis and bocce, to name but a few. When the B.C. Seniors Games were first held in 1987, 650 athletes over the age of 55 competed. This year, more than 4,000 athletes will go for gold medals in their respective sport. This year’s event is set to run Sept. 9-13.
Earlier this month, event organizers in Langley held an official event to kickoff a Games’ countdown, which included a speech from Kwantlen First Nations’ elder Kevin Kelly. “We pay respect to our seniors; it is very important, our elders are our teachers,” he said. “Always take the time to talk to your elders. If you don’t, you lose your culture.” Athletes from the Peninsula have always fared well at the annual summer event. At last year’s BC Senior Games – which
were held in Kamloops – winners included LaVerne Brown and Floyd Stanley, who won gold in mixed doubles tennis; Joseph Incantalupo, who also won gold on the tennis court, in men’s doubles; and South Surrey’s Kerbey Young, who won a medal of every colour in table tennis. Organizers are also still on the lookout for volunteers, even those who can only commit to as little as half a day helping out. The goal is to have 1,500 volunteers, Games’ vice-president Michael Jackstein said earlier this month.
Volunteers are needed for a variety of positions, including sport set up and management; lost and found; traffic control; security; hosting and medal presentation; results centre; and participant accreditation. To register as a volunteer, go to the Games office (#101-20560 Fraser Hwy.) between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday to Friday), phone 604-533-8065 or email volunteer@bcsg2014. com For more information about the Games, go to bcseniorsgames.org – with files from Gary Ahuja

Eagle forward sent to Vees
Hannoun dealt Demico Hannoun’s Surrey Eagles’ homecoming was short-lived. In fact, he won’t even get the chance to don the Birds’ jersey again, after he was dealt to the Penticton Vees earlier this month. Hannoun had requested a trade once he found out Peter Schaefer would not be back coaching the Eagles this season. Hannoun was a major part of the Eagles’ Royal Bank Cup-run during the 2012/13 season, but that offseason was shipped to the Vernon Vipers in order to complete a deal that saw Adam Tambellini sent to Surrey earlier in the season. After one season in Vernon, the Vipers
shipped Hannoun back to the Eagles in June, along with Ben Butcher. The duo were the “future considerations” in a January swap in which then-Surrey captain Brett Mulcahy went to Vernon. On Aug. 13, Eagles’ new GM/head coach Blaine Neufeld sent Hannoun to Penticton in exchange for future considerations and the playing rights to defenceman Alexandre Coulombe, a Granby, Que. native who played 54 games for the Vees last season but is expected to play this year for the Shawinigan Cataractes of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. – with files from Penticton Western News

Adam Hadwin authored a fantastic finish to the Web.com Tour regular season, coming within a whisker of his second victory of the campaign. The 26-year-old Abbotsford golfer – who is the official touring pro of South Surrey’s Morgan Creek Golf Course, where his father, Gerry, is a teaching pro – tied for second at the Winco Foods Portland Open last weekend, ending up just one stroke back of Carlos Ortiz of Mexico. The second-place finish also bumped him up from 10th to fourth overall on the tour’s money list – with earnings of $293,667, highlighted by a win earlier this season at the Chile Open. The weekend was already set to be a big one for Hadwin – at the conclusion of the Portland Open, the top 25 money-list finishers participated in a ceremony to celebrate earning their PGA Tour cards for next season. On Monday, Hadwin took to social media to celebrate the achievement, posting a photo on Twitter of himself, with his new PGA card in hand. “This just means the hard work is about to begin,” he wrote. In Portland, Hadwin opened the tournament with a two-over 73 on Thursday, before rallying with rounds of 65 and 63 on Friday and Saturday to get within

Golfer Adam Hadwin earned his PGA Tour card this week. two strokes of Ortiz atop the leaderboard. After recording two birdies and one bogey over his first five holes on Sunday, Hadwin parred the last 13 holes en route to a oneunder 70. Ortiz’s round was more of a roller-coaster – he registered three birdies and three bogeys – but he finished at even-par 71 to fend off the Bateman Secondary grad by a stroke. Hadwin and Jason Gore, whose five-under 66 was tied for the lowest round of the day, both earned second-place money
($70,400). That stands Hadwin in good stead heading into the four-event Web.com Tour playoffs. Hadwin and the rest of the regular-season card recipients will be competing with each other for priority access to the PGA Tour, with their earnings to date carrying over. Ortiz, the runaway leader on the money list with earnings of $515,403, won for the third time this season and will thus be fully exempt on the PGA Tour in 2014-15. – Black Press

Cars under 10 grand
Finding five used cars under $10,000 doesn’t sound like too big a challenge, until a “for a college student” stipulation is added. In my mind, this adds a few requirements as the car has to be easy on fuel, reliable, easy to park, good on gas, thrives on abuse, room for friends, room for a bike and camping gear, super fuelefficient... and look good!
So, bearing in mind the last requirement is a highly subjective one and ignoring the (no brainer) most popular car in Canada (Honda Civic), here are five vehicle suggestions – in no particular order:
Although the Pontiac Vibe looks different, you also know this compact 4-door hatchback as the Toyota Matrix. A joint (GM/Toyota) production venture ended with the 2010 model year, as did the Pontiac brand. The resale value of a Vibe is generally lower than a same year/condition Matrix, or conversely, you may be able to buy a newer/lower mileage Vibe. The ’09 Vibe was a second generation redesign and a slightly bigger model that came in front-drive and all-wheel-drive editions, and in base and GT trim levels. The base engine is a gas-miser 1.8-litre (132 horsepower) and a 2.4-litre (158 horsepower) engine comes in the AWD and GT models. Fuel consumption (1.8L/ FWD): 8.0/6.2 L/100 km (city/highway) Fuel consumption (2.4L/ AWD): 10.3/7.8 L/100 km (city/highway)

Five best cars for students Honda Fit (2010 or older) The Honda Fit is a small, but taller, four-door hatchback that was introduced for the 2007 model year and came in DX, LX and Sport trim levels. Its seats can be reconfigured in an amazing variety of ways and there’s even a couch/bed recliner position.The 2009 model was a second generation redesign with a more powerful 117 horsepower (up from 109-horsepower) 1.5-litre engine that’s mated to either a fivespeed manual transmission or optional five-speed automatic. In the Sport edition, this automatic also comes with paddle shift gear selection at the steering wheel. Fuel consumption (1.5L/ FWD): 7.1/5.5 L/100 km (city/highway)
Jeep Patriot (2010 or older) The Patriot could also be called “Jeep Light”, as it’s an affordable, compact yet capable SUV/wagon that’s surprisingly fuelefficient. Available in both front-drive and four-wheeldrive configurations, Jeep launched Patriot for the 2007 model year and it’s a good match of an active lifestyle young person that enjoys the outdoors. Patriot came in Sport, North and Limited trim levels and the base engine is a 2.0-litre that can produce 158-horsepower and 2.4-litre that can produce 172 horsepower is the upgrade. The transmissions offered were a five-speed manual transmission or a fuel-efficient CVT (continuously variable transmission) automatic. If serious four-wheeling is contemplated look for models with a trail-rated Freedom II off-road package that adds protective skid plates, etc. The down-side is increased weight and higher fuel consumption. Fuel consumption (2.0L/ FWD): 8.9/6.9 L/100 km (city/highway) Fuel consumption (2.4L/4WD): 9.9/8.2 L/100 km (city/highway)
Nissan Versa (2011 or older) The Nissan Versa may look small on the outside, but this four-door sedan or hatchback has an amazing amount of space on the inside. The extra head and leg room provided make it a
very good match for a taller or bigger than average young person. Versa offers seating for four (squeeze five) full-sized adults and extra-large rear passenger doors also make getting in or out easier. The lowerpriced sedan comes with a 1.6-litre (107-horsepower) engine and a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic. The hatchback comes with a 1.8-litre (122-horsepower) engine and a six-speed manual, four-speed automatic or a CVT automatic. Prior to 2010, a base Versa didn’t come with ABS (anti-lock braking system), and electronic stability control wasn’t even offered as an option. Its electronic-assist steering has an extra-light feel and it can turn on a (10.4 m) dime, making Versa an easy vehicle to park. Fuel consumption (1.6L/ FWD): 7.7/5.8 L/100 km (city/highway – 5 Manual) Fuel consumption (1.8L/ FWD): 8.5/6.2 L/100 km (city/highway – 4 Automatic) Fuel consumption (1.8L/ FWD): 7.3/5.8 L/100 km (city/highway - CVT)
Mazda3 (2009 or older) The first generation Mazda3 (2004 to 2009) set a new performance standard in the economy car segment. Sold as a four-door sedan or a (sportier) five-door hatchback, the Mazda3 has been a huge sales success in Canada. The four-door sedan editions of this Mazda3 come with (148-horsepower) 2.0-litre engine and in GX and GS trim levels. Sedan GT and (hatchback) Mazda3 Sport come in GS and GT trim levels and with a (156-horsepower) 2.3-litre engine, with more torque at lower engine speeds. A height-adjustable, good supporting driver’s seat plus a standard tilt and telescopic steering column make the Mazda3’s driving position particularly praiseworthy. It definitely offers the best driving experience, but popularity also makes Mazda3 the priciest pick of this group. Fuel consumption (2.0L/ FWD): 8.4/6.1 L/100 km (city/highway) Fuel consumption (2.3L/ FWD): 9.5/6.8 L/100 km (city/highway) bob.mchugh@ drivewaybc.ca

The Internet becoming more important for home buyers By Kerry Vital
For many new home buyers in the Lower Mainland, utilizing the Internet has never been more important. It’s now possible to conduct hours of research and ensure you know exactly what you’re looking for and can afford before purchasing, as well as which features of your new home will fit your lifestyle and allow the home to keep its value down the road.
“The extensive online research conducted by homebuyers is highly evident,” says Intergulf Development Group Vice President Shaadi Faris. “Buyers are coming to us with knowledge of how the purchase process works, and having their priorities firmly established.” Faris has seen this play out at Intergulf ’s Burnaby condominium project The Park Metrotown, where potential buyers have been coming into the presentation centre and

asking questions that used to only be asked by investors and real estate professionals. “They are aware of market trends, know what specific features and dimensions they are looking for, and have firm figures in mind,” says Faris. “Our marketing efforts now speak to strata fees and unit prices in dollars per square foot, and point out all the features that will impact the buyer’s investment, including the location of the parking stalls and storage lockers.” While the younger buyer is leading the way regarding the use of digital media, Faris points out that there are buyers of all ages using technology to research their potential home. Google recently teamed up with the U.S.-based National Association of Realtors to conduct a study looking at how important digital media was to home buyers. The study found that 90 per cent of homebuyers search online before and during the buying process.

Polygon is bringing Seaside architecture to North Delta with Lakeside, its executive townhome project in the master-planned community of Sunstone. Homeowners also benefit from membership to the Sunstone Club, below right, with over 12,000 square feet of amenities including an outdoor pool.
Living Lakeside at Sunstone By Kerry Vital
Waterfront living is possible in North Delta at Polygon’s Lakeside, an enclave of executivestyle townhomes in the master-planned community of Sunstone. “These townhomes feel like single-family homes,” says sales manager Pat Lok. “At 25 to 35 feet wide, they’re wider than a typical Vancouver lot!” With a variety of three-bedroom two-
level plans, most 2,000 square feet or larger, Lakeside is appealing to families and emptynesters alike. This is the final collection of the master-on-main homes being built at Sunstone, making it even more appealing. “These are beautiful homes, and there are less than 20 remaining,” Lok says, “with a limited number of each plan type left, it’s a great time to visit us.” Curb appeal is not in short supply at Lakeside. The homes are built using classic Seaside architecture, with pitched roofs, stone and wood detailing and window boxes. Street-fronting homes include picket fencing and stone post entry gates to complement the architecture. Buyers will be able to enjoy plenty of time outdoors on their private decks or patios, which feature gas hookups for your barbecue. In addition, each home has a private fenced yard. Every home has a double-
car side-by-side garage, which Lok points out has been a selling feature at Lakeside. Inside, some plan types feature dramatic vaulted ceilings along with warm laminate wood flooring throughout the main level living areas. Radiant in-floor heating is

featured throughout the main level, adding to the warm and cozy feeling of the entire home. The kitchen is elegant and efficient, with custom-designed naturally stained quarter oak flat-panel or white painted shaker cabinetry, engineered stone countertops and a marble backsplash. A kitchen island adds to the convenience, and select homes include a spacious walk-in pantry. Stainlesssteel appliances and under-cabinet lighting, contemporary halogen track lighting and task lighting round out the beautiful space. The luxurious master ensuite features an oversized soaker tub and a separate shower with glass enclosure and marble tile accents, complemented by marble countertops and a large vanity mirror. The main bathroom holds a bathtub with ceramic tile surround and marble countertops. “People love the little luxuries here,” says Lok. Homeowners at Sunstone have access to the private Sunstone Club, a 12,000-square-foot amenities building that includes an outdoor pool, gym, fireside lounge with a billiards table and much more. Sunstone Lake is right beside Lakeside, along with a playground, amphitheatre and several trails for walking or cycling. When you venture off the property, you’ll find schools, shopping, dining and recreation all nearby, including the Sungod Recreation Centre, Watershed Park and the Delta Nature Reserve. Homes at Lakeside start at $558,000. For more information, visit www.polyhomes.com, call 604-585-7107 or stop by the presentation centre at 10500 Delsom Crescent, open noon to 6 p.m. daily except Friday.

Calculation compared high-efficiency natural gas furnace and large storage tank water heater with electric resistance heating (baseboards) and equivalent water heater and is based on FortisBC natural gas rates as of July 2014 ($11.054/GJ) and electricity rates in the service area identified (Tier 1 and 2: $0.079 and $0.118 per kWh). Actual savings may vary. Savings do not include potential rebates and/or incentives.

56 PALMER, Win (Charles Irwin Murdoch) We are sad to announce the passing of our beloved Win on August 7th, 2014. Dad passed away peacefully and quietly in the same manner in which he lived his life. He was born in Rossland, BC on September 12th, 1926. Dad and Mom moved to the lower mainland in 1957 from Edmonton and lived in Richmond for 28 years before they moved to White Rock to enjoy their retirement in 1985. Dad loved his daily walks to the pier and his weekly golf games. He lived a very wonderful and fulfilled life and will be truly missed. He is survived by his wife of 57 years Gwen Palmer, daughter Karen (predeceased May 2011) son Brian (predeceased June 2014) (Arleen) son Richard (Pam), son Tim (Patti), son Stan (Sharon),
son Dean (Martha), daughter Debi (Jay), son Ian. Dad had 16 beloved grandchildren and 5 beloved step grandchildren and also 17 great grandchildren and 9 step great grandchildren. Our house was always full of family and friends and when the commotion got the better of Dad he could be found in a quiet spot usually enjoying a good book and a few cookies. We would like to Thank Dr. Andre Bredenkamp and Claudia for all the years of wonderful care. We would also like to thank the incredible 1st floor care staff at Rosemary Heights where Dad lived this past year and passed away peacefully. He was surrounded by so many who truly loved him and we will always be grateful. Please join us for a celebration of Dad’s Life on Saturday, September 13th at 1:00pm at Chapel by the Sea 16017 8th Avenue Surrey, BC.
