Christian students, chaperones robbed by gunmen while playing soccer on cultural exchange

Armed holdup ends Guatemalan trip Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Twenty-six White Rock Christian Academy students have had their mission trip to Central America cut short, after several of the Grade 11s were robbed while playing soccer with some of the local children.

Assistant principal Brian Oger told Peace Arch News Tuesday that the students would be returning home early as a result of the

incident, which occurred last weekend.

None of the students – who had only arrived in Guatemala two days earlier – were physically injured, he said.

While some media have reported that armed gunmen stormed the field where the students were playing soccer, Oger said that “was a sensationalized aspect of the story that’s not accurate.�

As well, there were chaperones at the scene.

More details were shared in a statement issued later Tuesday. “On Saturday, the third day of their trip, men holding guns approached a group of students and several adults. They were asked to lie down on the ground and had personal items such as backpacks taken from them,� the news release states. “The board of directors and administration decided that in the interest of the welfare of the students, the

team would immediately return home.�

The statement noted students “are understandably disappointed with their trip being shortened. The school’s main priority is the well-being and safety of the students and staff.�

Four chaperones, including WRCA principal David Michel, were part of the school’s contingent to Guatemala, which has been a tradition at WRCA since 2009. i see page 4

‘Funding crisis’ looms

Tourism warning Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

If White Rock council can’t commit more city funding to its key tourist organization than planned, the future of Tourism White Rock is grim, officials say.

It would be “the end of Tourism White Rock as we know it,� executive director Betina Albornoz said Monday, during a public opportunity to comment on the city’s 2015-2019 draft financial Betina Albornoz plan.

Tourism White Rock The plan – which projects a 1.6 per cent property-tax decrease for 2015 – allocates $79,800 to Tourism White Rock for the year.

The figure – which is about half of what was provided in 2014 – includes $59,800 in base funding and $20,000 in temporary rent.

Earlier in Monday’s meeting, council members voted in favour of a motion by Coun. Helen Fathers to increase the 2015 sum by another $20,000, but Albornoz said it still won’t be enough to sustain current operating levels. Last September, she asked the city to budget $190,000, and committed i see page 4

Chesney asks to investigate whether White Rock has Canada’s longest ‘wooden’ pier

City won’t revisit revised quest for record Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

David Chesney councillor

A second crack at determining whether White Rock’s landmark pier sets a national record was stopped at the gate Monday, when council voted against a motion by Coun. David Chesney to investigate if the pier is the longest wooden structure of its kind.

The city had earlier determined that it wasn’t Canada’s longest pier, after Chesney had brought forward the motion in January without specifying “wooden.”

In discussing the new motion, Mayor Wayne Baldwin asked city staff how much time had been spent investigating the original request, which Chesney told council at that time that the distinction could be another tourism draw for the city.

Prior to the vote, Chesney was optimistic that narrowing the search terms would prove more successful.

“Hopefully this time, by being more specific… we can finally dedicate the 100-year-old gal down on the beach to

the rightful honour she deserves,” he said.

City manager Dan Bottrill said it took staff about a day-and-a-half to rule White Rock’s landmark out of the running for the title following the earlier motion. At least one other pier, in Quebec’s Marine de Portneuf, out-stretched White Rock’s, he said.

“We didn’t confirm (Quebec’s) was the longest pier, we just confirmed it was longer,” Bottrill said.

Baldwin and Couns. Bill Lawrence, Grant Meyer and Lynne Sinclair voted

against directing staff to invest more time to the matter. (Baldwin and Lawrence had supported Chesney’s earlier motion.)

Following the vote, Baldwin noted Chesney did not have to simply let his quest go.

“Coun. Chesney, nothing to stop you from doing a quick research on that,” he said.

“You could check it out… and if you want to put forward a motion that says this is the pier, we’ll take a look at that.”

Minor injuries

Semi vs.

Sonata Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

One man was taken to hospital with minor injuries following a collision between a semi and a sedan Tuesday afternoon at the intersection of 176 Street and 24 Avenue.

Police at the scene said the semi was heading northbound through the intersection when it T-boned a Hyundai Sonata that was westbound on 24 Avenue.

According to witnesses, the semi had the right-of-way at the time.

Police said investigation is ongoing, and one driver will be receiving a ticket under the Motor Vehicle Act in connection with the crash. A dog that was also in the Sonata was not injured, police said.

Traffic through the area was temporarily snarled while crews dealt with the aftermath, including towing the two vehicles and clearing debris from the northbound lanes.

Surrey couple accused of planning pressure-cooker bombs at Canada Day celebration

‘We’re responsible if something happens to kids’ Justin Beddall Black Press

On July 1, 2013, the man co-accused of allegedly plotting to detonate pressurecooker bombs at the B.C. legislature on Canada Day nervously paced inside an Abbotsford motel room wondering why the devices didn’t explode.

“Those… timers worked until I gave them to him… I tested them over and over,” John Nuttall says to his wife, Amanda Korody, in an undercover police video shown to a jury Monday at B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver.

The Surrey couple was arrested in Abbotsford that day and faces four terrorism-related charges to which they’ve pleaded not guilty.

RCMP arrested the pair following a fivemonth investigation. Police seized what they described as three “improvised explosive devices” made from pressure cookers. The bombs were allegedly placed on the grounds of the parliament building in Victoria where thousands of people were to gather for Canada Day celebrations.

The Crown has said the RCMP ensured the homemade bombs, which were allegedly built in a Delta hotel, were “inert” when

placed in Victoria.

In his opening remarks at the trial on Feb. 2, prosecutor Peter Eccles said the couple had recently converted to the Muslim faith. Eccles told the jury they’d hear and see many hours of audio and video surveillance, which would include conversation between Nuttall and Korody in which Nuttall talks about what will happen after their alleged plot takes place.

“Within 48 hours, we’re going to be listening to the news and hear the aftermath,” Nuttall tells his wife. “This is going to rock the world. Al-Qaeda Canada – that’s who we are… As of today we’re mujahid. We’re secret agents.”

Eccles, however, said the Crown believed the pair worked on its own and doubted AlQaeda even knew they existed.

In another portion of video played on Monday, Nuttall talks intermittently on his cellphone with an undercover RCMP operator whom he believes is an Arab businessman arranging their getaway by plane.

The undercover officer cannot be identified due to a publication ban.

In the video, Nuttall becomes increasingly concerned as noon approaches with no news

“As long as those kids are OK, I’m OK. We’re still responsible if something happens to those kids,” he tells his wife.

Later, he tells the undercover officer: “Those kids, it’s 12 o’clock, what if it goes off? The timers were fine. I checked them 10 times, you checked them 10 times – they were ticking.”

Inside the motel room, Nuttall and his wife fish around plastic bags of clothing and other personal effects as they decide what to bring with them when they escape the country. They never discuss a specific destination, but as he goes through his clothes Nuttall tells his wife: “Where we’re going I don’t think I’d need a leather jacket.

“We’re leaving and never coming back to Canada.”

Back on the phone with the RCMP undercover cop, Nuttall goes over details of the getaway plan. With television coverage of Canada Day events across the country playing in the background, Nuttall repeats the instructions over the phone.

“Just the clothes on my back, yes,” he says.

“Go across the street and there’s a Burger King, OK. We’re on our way brother, just the clothes on our back.”

As the motel room door opens, there’s a loud commotion.

“Police! Get down…. Roll over on your front. Roll over on your front.”

The trial continued with a cross-examination of the undercover RCMP officer.

‘Service-learning’ sojourn cut short i from page 1 According to a school newsletter, the “service-learning” trip was set for March 19-31, and was anticipated to be a “unique opportunity to engage in handson experiences, build relationships, explore a new country and learn about the customs and cultures of Guatemala.”

“Students will see the contrast between the rich and poor, Cen-

tral American values and North American values, Catholic cultures and Protestant cultures, village life and city life and more,” the newsletter states. “From living with homestays to serving the Guatemalans to exploring Guatemala, the class will have an experience unlike any other.”

In 2011, teens who participated in the trip – helping at WRCA’s sister school and in a Mayan vil-

lage – told PAN it changed their lives.

“It’s helped me understand God’s plan for my life,” said one.

Tuesday, Oger would not say exactly when the students are due to return.

“We’re just wanting to make sure that the students get the counselling that they need,” he said. “Obviously, a challenging experience for sure.”

Projected costs excessive: Baldwin i from page 1 Tourism White Rock to raising a further $100,000 through grants and corporate sponsorships.

In discussing Fathers’ motion, Mayor Wayne Baldwin expressed concern about the steady increase in the city’s contribution – it’s grown from $15,000 in 2009 to $163,200 in 2014 – and described the organization’s projected 2015 operating costs of nearly $300,000 as “a bit excessive.”

“Since 2009… the amount of money that the city has put into Tourism White Rock has grown steadily,” Baldwin said. “There has to be some discussion of the growth, the cost.”

But Albornoz said the city’s contributions over the years – amounting to about $700,000 – are less than half of what Tourism White Rock has raised over the same period.

“Since 2008, we have raised… $1.6 million. I would say that’s a

fantastic return,” Albornoz said.

She noted the sum does not factor in the value of in-kind and volunteer services the organization provides.

Other speakers also expressed concern about projected funding.

Tourism volunteer Jane Kline said she has seen the social and economic value of Tourism White Rock firsthand and “cannot find any instances where the Tourism White Rock board or executive director have failed.”

“It has, in my taxpaying mind, been nothing short of impressive,” Kline said.

Kline was cut short by Coun.

Bill Lawrence, the meeting chair, when she chastised Coun. Grant Meyer for not “running interference” in his role as council liaison to the organization.

“It is my understanding that you have not attended one of their meetings since the last election,” Kline had told Meyer.

“I really feel that’s a shame.”

Meyer did not respond.

Board member Ginny Harrison noted Tourism White Rock’s fixed annual costs are $68,000, “before we even open the door.”

Without a bigger commitment from the city, there’ll be no money to pay the executive director, run projects, produce brochures, operate the summer trolley service or assist with events such as the sea festival and Irish festival, Harrison said.

“I’m a little concerned.”

Tourism White Rock “brings incredible value to the city,” she said.

The draft financial plan also includes $20,000 in 2015 for the city to work with “appropriate partners” to complete a tourism strategy; and $80,000 in 2016 towards long-term accommodations for Tourism White Rock.

The financial plan is scheduled to be adopted April 27.

Save-On-Foods set GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ Official Record

Thanks to the help of a local music teacher and students from Seycove Secondary School, 1100 bottles were tuned and brought together to successfully play “Happy Birthday” as the Overwaitea Food Group (OFG) celebrate their 100th birthday. The previous record for “Most Bottles Played” was 475 bottles and with the successful playing of 1100 bottles, Save-On-Foods and friends are now the holders of this title. The group more than doubled the current GUINESS WORLD RECORDS™ official record for “Most Bottles Played” “We’re a local company, celebrating our 100th birthday at a local event, but it sure feels great to be able to set a world record,” says Darrell Jones, President, Save-On Foods.

Transit vote underway Let the voting begin.

Ballots asking voters whether they support a 0.5-per-cent sales tax to go towards transportation and transit improvements for the region are now in the mail.

It’s the final step in a years-long battle to decide how to generate the $250-million per year required to fund the region’s share of Metro Vancouver mayors’ transportation and transit plan.

The 0.5-per-cent regional sales tax proposed to pay for the plan, dubbed the Metro Vancouver Congestion Improvement Tax, effectively raises the Provincial Sales Tax charged in the

region to 7.5 per cent.

The Congestion Improvement Tax is estimated to raise $250 million a year, which would fund the region’s share of the projects, with the rest to come from the provincial and federal governments.

Households began receiving the ballots earlier this month, and voters have until May 29 to return them.

Referendum Questions, a special Black Press series, will examine the various issues surrounding the transit referendum over the coming weeks.

For more stories in this series, visit www.peacarchnews.com

Transit proposal includes more B-Line routes, SkyTrain upgrades

What is the plan promising?

The plan Metro Vancouver mayors crafted last June tried to offer something for every resident and every part of the region to keep local councils on side and appeal for votes.

The big ticket items are three light-rail lines in Surrey at a cost of $2.1 billion and the $2-billion subway in Vancouver, extending SkyTrain’s Millennium Line west along the Broadway corridor to Arbutus.

The plan says the light-rail lines from Surrey Centre on 104 Avenue to Guildford and down King George Boulevard to Newton would come within seven years, while the longer LRT line down Fraser Highway to Langley City could take 12 years.

In the more immediate future, the plan calls for 400 more buses, increasing bus service by 25 per cent across the region.

Eleven new B-Line express bus routes would be added to speed passengers along major corridors with few stops. The ones to be launched in the first five years of the plan are Surrey Centre to Langley, Scott Road to Newton via Scott and 72nd, Maple Ridge to Coquitlam, Richmond-Brighouse to Metrotown, Dundarave to Phibbs on the North Shore, Downtown Vancouver to SFU Burnaby and Joyce-Collingwood to UBC via 41st.

Later B-Lines in the plan are Newton to White Rock (an extension of the existing 96 B-Line in Surrey), Langley to Pitt Meadows, Metrotown to Capilano University via Willingdon, Lynn Valley to Downtown Vancouver and Downtown Vancouver to Southeast Marine Drive.

SeaBus service would increase 50 per cent early in the plan, providing sailings every 15 minutes all day and every 10 minutes at peak times.

Night bus service would increase 80 per cent and HandyDart service would get a 30 per cent increase to serve the elderly and disabled.

The transit plan calls for several new B-Line express bus routes throughout Metro Vancouver.

SkyTrain and Canada Line upgrades would get more than $800 million for 220 new cars to increase capacity and 10 more train cars would be added to carry more West Coast Express passengers. Expo Line service would increase 50 per cent. Other capital money would flow to new or expanded transit exchanges.

The biggest road project in the plan is the $1-billion replacement of the Pattullo Bridge with a new four-lane bridge, expandable to six lanes. The new bridge would be tolled and ‘No’ side critics say it shouldn’t be in the plan at all because it will likely be built and tolled no matter the outcome of the vote.

The plan includes $36 million a year in increased money for road upgrades and maintenance on corridors such as Fraser Highway, Kingsway and Knight Street. Another $13 million a year would go to add 2,700 km of new bikeways or traffic-separated cycling lanes, including completion of the Central Valley Greenway and B.C. Parkway routes.

Province promises to proceed with tax if Yes side wins

Referendum vs. non-binding plebiscite Technically, yes, the vote is a plebiscite under provincial law.

But practically, there’s little difference, except that it operates under different legislation.

“On the surface, to voters there is not really any discernible difference,” Elections BC spokesman Don Main said.

The plebiscite is not legally binding but the provincial government has promised to proceed with the proposed 0.5 per cent sales tax increase to fund improvements if a majority of residents across Metro Vancouver vote in favour.

Elections BC defines a plebiscite as a cabinet-ordered vote on a matter of public concern conducted under

Semi-Annual Jewelery Repair Event

the Election Act that “may be binding on government” while a referendum is held under the Referendum Act and the results are “usually binding.”

The 2011 HST referendum was not technically binding either in the sense that government was not legally forced to repeal the harmonized sales tax after losing the vote.

It happened only because former premier Gordon Campbell promised government would abide by the outcome when he OK’d the referendum.

Legally, Fight HST’s eventual referendum win still only required government to forward the draft repeal bill to the house for debate, not to actually pass it.

But blocking it then would have been political suicide for a government already deeply wounded by the HST debacle.

Representatives of the ‘yes’ and ‘no’ campaigns in the Congestion Improvement Tax both say it would be similarly unthinkable for the province to ignore the outcome of the transit and transportation vote.

“Politically, that would just be unbelievable,” Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said.

‘No’ campaign head Jordan Bateman said he believes the tax is a go if the vote is ‘yes’, but doesn’t believe the spending commitments are necessarily binding.

Wage imbalance

A

study by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business released this week indicates public-sector wages are 10 to 15 per cent higher than comparable jobs in the private sector.

CFIB vice-president Ted Mallett outlined the differences between comparable positions within the two sectors.

“In the private sector, (compensation is) market tested,” he said. “If wages go up too much, businesses struggle, they end up closing doors or cutting back. If wages are too low, then the business doesn’t attract the right kind of labour and it suffers as well.”

The CFIB “Wage Watch” report takes its data from 2010 information contained in Statistics Canada’s 2011 National Household Survey. It compares more than 200 occupations.

In 2010, private-sector wages were still suffering from the 2008 economic downturn, which dealt a severe blow to many businesses.

Wage increases were non-existent for most employees in 2009 and 2010. Meanwhile, wage increases for government employees continued ticking along.

While there has been a slight reduction in annual increases from the four-per-cent range to around two per cent, most public-sector employees are likely making about 15 per cent more than in 2008.

In years past, public-sector wages were often at, or even slightly below, comparableprivate sector wages. There was a reason for this – more job security, generous benefits and fully indexed pension plans, which long-term employees could often start collecting from as early as 55.

However, in the past 20 years or so, the wages paid to public-sector employees have ballooned.

This has happened as job security in the private sector has been substantially reduced.

While there was a booming private-sector economy in B.C. from 2000 to 2008, many traditional well-paying jobs disappeared.

Some new, well-paying jobs appeared, but in many cases, these require a very high level of education and skills that only a few people have.

The 2008 downturn intensified that trend, and there has been only minimal replacement of many jobs that were lost. Many former private-sector employees have set up their own businesses in an attempt to keep the work coming in.

Salaries paid to public-sector workers need a closer look.

an expansion of the Metro Vancouver transit system into Delta, Surrey, White Rock and Langley. That service began in 1973.

Over the years, the bus service has slowly improved, although many routes have been added and then cut back or cancelled.

When SkyTrain was first announced in 1980 by Surrey MLA Bill Vander Zalm, who was minister of municipal affairs and transit, the projections were that it would go from downtown Vancouver to New Westminster in the first phase, which opened in 1986. It would then be extended to Whalley, with another possible line from Vancouver to Richmond. Vander Zalm later said there was a possibility of an extension from Whalley to Newton.

That was 35 years ago. The extensions to Scott Road, and then to what is now called Surrey City Centre, came in 1990 and 1994 respectively.

Since that last extension was completed, 21 years ago, there have been a number of promises made. There has been promises of LRT, suggestions that rail service on the interurban rail corridor (still in use and completely intact) be revived and even a promise of SkyTrain to Langley along Fraser Highway, made by then-premier Gordon Campbell about seven years ago.

So we do have bus service in Surrey, albeit limited; we do have SkyTrain into the far northwest corner of the city, and we have had an awful lot of promises.

An open letter to the mayors’ council and provincial government.

The plebiscite is not to let the voters decide about transit options; it only shows the contempt the government has for the voters.

The government does not care what the outcome of this plebiscite is and will blame the voters regardless of the outcome.

I would have liked to vote on the South Perimeter Road and the coal port and coal trains. I would have liked a say about the Port Mann Bridge. I would like vote on the new bridge to replace the tunnel. I would especially like to vote on pay increases for our politicians.

If this vote is so important for the economy and the livability of Metro Vancouver – and we voters are asked to make this decision – what do we need MLAs for?

Why not let the voters make all the important decisions?

I believe Premier Christy Clark and the MLAs are ducking their responsibilities to govern wisely and trying to download the responsibility to the voters.

This process was doomed to fail.

People do not vote to increase taxes.

The plebiscite is one of the most cynical pretences of perverted democracy I have ever witnessed from any level of government.

Andrew Schulz, White Rock

Our city let there be lights Editor: A while back, I wrote a letter decrying the rude driving behaviour while two school lads were trying to cross via the pedestrian crossing at 128 Street and 17 Avenue (Solutions for safer passage, Sept. 5, 2013 letters).

I suggested pedestrian-crossing lights be installed.

Lo and behold, we have lights and they really make a difference. You can see them from quite a distance, and drivers are stopping. I bet those boys are happy.

Thank you to the City of Surrey for doing this. It’s a little bit safer out there thanks to your good work.

People do not vote to increase taxes.a Andrew Schulz Melissa Smalley photo

More than 100 residents gathered at White Rock City Hall Monday afternoon to protest garbage-collection plans.

Residents feel kicked to the curb Editor: I am writing to ask our illustrious mayor – through you – if we residents of White Rock who reside in condominium apartments are not residents of this city?

How is it that a taxpayer residing in a single-family residence has more rights than we taxpayers living in condos? If our garbage collection is unilaterally withdrawn by Mayor Wayne Baldwin and his council, it means the taxes we pay will, in part, be paying for the garbage collection of a select group of our society. This is out-and-out discrimination and the kind of thinking that would bring this about, including the in-camera decision making process, is worthy of nothing but contempt.

Gus Nielsen, White Rock Q City representatives are touting “reduction” as the primary objective, along with “fairness” as the justification for scrapping existing garbage-collection arrangements.

Why, then, does the proposed new scheme do exactly the opposite, and provide no incentive to reduce?

Why will it cost every single-family household exactly the same, irrespective of whether they leave zero, one or two cans at the curb for collection? Why will those that have chosen to live in a smaller house – with a smaller assessment – be forced to subsidize those in larger homes? All other city services are based on assessment.

A household with zero waste for a given week will pay the same as a household with two cans. How is that fair?

It is clear that the scheme being proposed is neither fair nor usage-based, and no better than the existing scheme in these respects. But, guess what, it is going to cost more.

Councillors have been remarkably silent over this issue, simply passing the buck to city staff to stifle concerns. So much for open access to councillors.

A large number of municipalities across Canada have managed to implement a ‘pay-as-you-throw’ scheme. If the goal is truly to move to a zero-waste environment, then with the correct community education and buy-in, a proper usage-based scheme should be implemented.

Pretence of democracy

• Stainless interior • Adjustable satin glide upper rack • 46 dbs • Available in Stainless or White

On Dec. 15, the City of White Rock decided it would get out of the waste-management business and abandon 11,000 of its citizens who live in multi-family buildings to their own resources. The city purports to call this privatization. I call it abandonment of its fiduciary obligation to support its citizens in a common need – just like policing, fire protection and land management.

This sudden action has taken place behind closed doors, without public input and proper financial analysis.

As single-family homeowners will soon see by the appearance of a new $192 “utility waste fee” to cover the last six months of 2015, by removing these services from the multi-family buildings, the city is actually imposing a further hardship on its single-family residents by losing the financial benefits of economy of scale. The larger units help amortize the costs of the small ones – simple.

Better off with private collection Re: Condo owners trash city’s decision, March 24.

The group of condo residents who gathered at city hall on Monday would like you to believe they speak for condo owners throughout the city, but I wonder how many of White Rock’s 250 strata complexes were actually represented. My guess is it was less than 10 per cent.

While MC Bill Vigars was doing his best to spin a White Rock council decision as an act of deceit, no one was willing to acknowledge the bigger picture. The fact is that some strata complexes must hire a private service provider to remove their garbage, while their unit owners pay for that same service through their property taxes.

Here at Avra we do in fact have a private contractor provide our garbage-removal service, an arrangement we were particularly happy with last year when White Rock’s civic workers were on strike.

My feeling is if these people spent half the time sourcing a new garbage-collection service as they spend railing against change, they would have this issue behind them in no time, and we’d all be better for it.

White Rock council asked to authorize funds to expedite construction

$500K for railway crossings Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock council has authorized nearly $500,000 in interim funding to expedite construction of two railway pedestrian crossings on West Beach.

The approval, financial services director Sandra Kurylo said Monday, is needed in advance of the financial-plan adoption to enable construction of the crossings – one west of the Oxford Street comfort station and the other adjacent to Anderson Street – to get started early next month.

“Normally, this would be approved in the upcoming finan-

cial plan,” Kurylo said. “In order to meet certain deadlines, work has to get underway very soon. Once the new financial plan is adopted, the funding sources can revert to what is in the new financial plan.”

The crossings are on the city’s to-do list in connection with railsafety improvements that were ordered in the wake of a death on East Beach tracks in July 2013, when a jogger was struck by an Amtrak train.

Gaps in the West Beach handrailing that used to facilitate pedestrian access to the beach were closed last May. Kurylo noted that the funds

Money found in October

Cash claimed A cash cache that was turned in to White Rock RCMP in October is back with its rightful owner.

Const. Shaileshni Molison confirmed Tuesday that the money – discovered in late October near Semiahmoo Shopping Centre – was claimed March 10, shortly after police issued an appeal for help locating the owner.

Molison said the South Surrey woman – who does not want to be identified – told police she’d lost the $1,800 while she was out running errands.

“She just had a lot of things going on,” Molison told Peace Arch News. “Forgot that she’d taken it out (of her

purse) when she was doing errands.”

She didn’t report the loss to police because “she didn’t think it was a police matter.”

“She… didn’t realize that would be something we could help her with,” Molison said.

Molison noted the owner was among “a few people” who called the detachment to claim the funds after the appeal appeared in the PAN March 5, and she wants to meet the person who found the money and turned it over.

Molison described the finder as “extremely honest,” and the owner as “extremely, extremely thankful.”

requested are proposed in the 2015-2019 draft financial plan, however, that plan is not scheduled for adoption until April 27.

She suggested that capital funding that was approved in 2014 but not yet spent be temporarily reallocated to the projects, each of which is estimated to cost $248,000.

Council voted unanimously to authorize the temporary reallocation of funding from the railway crossing budget ($200,000), the capital contingency budget ($45,000), the strategic transportation plan implementation budget ($161,000) and the pavement overlay budget ($90,000).

offenders to ensure they are complying with court-imposed conditions such as curfews.

Another area of concern for police is that of relationship violence.

Roseberry said domestic assault jumped 38 per cent last year, to 40 reports from 29 the year prior. She cited the complexity of such investigations in noting the escalating cost of policing.

“While crime is generally down in White Rock… the cost of policing continues to rise,” Roseberry said.

“Investigating a domestic-assault case, for example, takes 10 times longer than it did when I first started.”

Increasing costs can also be attributed to changes in the “landscape” of crime over the years, she said, citing computer-based crimes.

“Threats on Facebook didn’t occur five years ago,” Roseberry noted.

Drug investigations in White Rock dropped by 38 per cent last year over 2013, to 108 from 175, and a plan to “continue to apply pressure to those who traffic in hard drugs in our com-

It means everything the Mounties’ produce – including on the RCMP

website and on Twitter – must be translated, she said.

Molison said the move has delayed news releases being posted to the website, but she hopes to complete the transition and get back on track by the end of the week.

“Once we have it up and running, it’ll be terrific,” she said.

Asked by Coun. Lynne Sinclair what communications will go out regarding the data, Roseberry acknowledged “we can always do better in terms of… advising the community on what exactly is going on.”

“We can do better and would like to do better in terms of media releases,” she said, noting stats will soon be posted regularly on the city’s website.

Life-changing treatment for Nathan Mitchell

Transplant ‘like a miracle’ Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

U

sually, a mother catching her toddler jumping up and down on the couch would be followed by stern words and an order to calm down.

For Tina Mitchell, however, seeing her then-four-year-old son Nathan bounce up and down on the sofa brought tears to her eyes.

“I saw that, and it just melted my heart with joy,” she recalls. “To see him be able to do that, or go outside and get dirty, or learn to ride his bike – things that kids do – it was a huge change. A blessing.”

Nathan is now nine years old, and life for both him and his family – he is an only child to Tina and her husband, Jason – is good.

It wasn’t always that way.

Just before he turned three, Nathan was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome – a condition in which damaged kidneys leak abnormal amounts of protein into the urine, causing painful swelling.

Signs of the problem actually began showing when he was just 18 months old.

Nathan’s growth was slow, and he would wake up with swollen, puffy eyes. At first, doctors didn’t think it was anything serious, and suggested the puffy eyes could be an allergic reaction.

“We went through a period where we eliminated certain foods, trying to find out what is was,” Tina explains. “But nothing worked. It turns out it was fluid that was causing the puffiness.”

After being referred to BC Children’s Hospital’s nephrology department, doctors discovered Nathan had a rare condition called focal segmental

glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a disease that attacks the kidneys.

That year – until Nathan was four – was a rough one, she admits.

With FSGS, one of the proteins the kidneys aren’t able to retain in the blood is albumin, which instead “leaks” throughout the body and is what causes swelling.

Nathan was “in the hospital more than he was at home” and when he was home, the disease had zapped him of nearly all his energy and appetite.

He underwent a number of surgeries, including one to insert a vascular-access device, so he could receive IV treatments.

“It goes right in your chest – right here,” says Nathan, tapping his chest. “The IV treatments added albumin back into my body, so the fluids would go where they’re supposed to go.”

Nathan, his mom points out, knows nearly all there is to know about his Tina Mitchell condition. And for someone so young, Nathan’s mom he has no trouble rattling off the multisyllabic medical terms or medications.

When he was in the hospital, he also learned how all the machines worked – at one point even correctly directing a young nurse to push a particular button on a machine that was beeping incessantly.

Between the ages of three and four, Nathan spent much of his time in and out of BC Children’s Hospital, as doctors tried to find – but with little success – a solution to the South Surrey youngster’s increasingly painful problem.

In some cases, FSGS is treatable with medication, but Tina notes “the medications only made things worse.”

It was immeasurably difficult for Nathan’s parents to see their only child in so much pain and discomfort. As the toxins built up in his body, he felt nauseated, had no energy and, eventually, stopped eating.

“All he could do some days was lie on the couch in pain.

That was pretty hard. And I couldn’t always just sit there and hold him, either, because I had to get his medications, I had to do his tube feedings, then clean up from that,” Tina explains.

“And in between, I was on the phone with the hospital a lot, asking questions, asking if I should bring him in.”

“My mom could have really used an earpiece, or a (phone) headset,” interjects Nathan, with a laugh.

After further tests, doctors determined Nathan’s FSGS was caused by genetics, which his mother notes is uncommon.

“He has the rarest form of a very rare condition, and unfortunately, the genetic form is the one that isn’t treatable with medications,” she explains.

The only solution was a kidney transplant. But because it’s a genetic condition, both Tina and Jason were not suitable transplant matches.

Tina’s mother, Carol Fleming, was a match, however.

“It wasn’t a hard decision to make, that’s for sure. When they told me I was a match, I was just so relieved and so excited,” Carol, a Vancouver Island resident, tells Peace Arch News in a phone interview. i see page 12

Nathan Mitchell with his grandma and kidney donor, Carol Fleming. ride his bike outside their home.

“When he was younger, we had a little tricycle for him, but he would just sit on it and we’d push him, because he didn’t have the energy to do it himself.

This was such a change.”

Nathan’s transplant is not a cure for his kidney disease, and the immunosuppressant medications he still takes – in order to keep his immune system from attacking his new kidney – have left him vulnerable to germs. In order to steer clear of anything that could cause him to get sick, he is now home-schooled. And he still goes to BC Children’s Hospital for monthly blood work and other tests.

There have been occasional complications, but Nathan has overcome them all.

And Tina notes it’s left the

Mitchells extremely grateful to the staff at the hospital.

“There’s a whole team there – an amazing team. The change in Nathan’s quality of life is amazing. It’s really like a miracle… and without the treatments and support we received, Nathan would not be here today.”

It is because of that help that the Mitchells are trying to drum up support for the hospital foundation’s annual Jeans Day initiative next month.

Jeans Day – which is April 30 – offers schools and businesses that normally have a formal dress code the chance to let employees or students wear jeans, in exchange for purchasing a button or pin to wear.

i from page 11 “It was just so difficult to see him like that. It brings tears to my eyes thinking about seeing him there, all swollen and sick.”

In most kidney-transplant operations, the old kidneys of the recipient are left inside the body, and eventually just shrivel up and remain non-functioning.

But with Nathan, both had to be removed to make way for his donor kidney – which meant two major surgeries, back-to-back.

First, he underwent a double nephrectomy, and was hooked up to a dialysis machine until Fleming’s kidney – which was removed at St. Paul’s Hospital – could be brought to BC Children’s. Then, later in the day, Nathan received his new kidney.

“That was a really long day, and pretty scary. But really exciting and joyful, too,” Tina says.

“It was a corner to turn, and a chance at a new life… we were so lucky that my mom was able to donate a kidney.”

Though there was the requisite amount of recovery time, Tina noticed a change in Nathan almost immediately.

“Kids bounce back so quickly.

And as soon as he could do stuff, he was doing stuff.”

In the months and years that followed, little things that some parents might take for granted became incredible moments.

Tina remembers, specifically, the joy she felt watching him

Surrey initiative shortlisted

Visible learning

EASYTAX

-DAY SAME D! REFUN

®

Same-Day Tax Refunds ...IN CASH!

Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A Surrey School District initiative that allows students to record their learning digitally on a daily basis and share it with their parents has been recognized for its educational innovation.

The initiative, called Making Learning Visible: A 360° Transformation, uses technology to record children’s learning through video, photos and notes, resulting in a digital portfolio of their work that can be shared almost immediately.

“It really is a way for three-way collaborative learning,” director of instruction Elisa Carlson told trustees at a recent meeting. “It really is quite revolutionary. The response from parents has been fabulous.”

Instead of parents only seeing work that children bring home, they can witness – and review – what their child is learning all the time.

The program is one of three shortlisted for SFU’s Cmolik Prize for the Enhancement of Public Education, which recognizes innovative educational practices at the kindergarten to Grade 12 levels.

There were 28 entries for the annual $50,000 prize.

The winner will be announced April 2.

Making Learning Visible is still considered to be in the pilot stage. It began last year with a handful of classes and expanded to 53 schools this year.

Den of hundreds found in Boundary Bay dyke

Disturbance of hibernating snakes ‘unfortunate’ T he 500 snakes (Thamnophis hibernating elegans), also known as garter snakes western garter snakes, a unexpectedly species widely found during distributed Anne Murray Boundary Bay in western dyke repairs at Canada.

Beach Grove He explained have attracted a that garter lot of attention. snakes are When the variable in snakes were colour and disturbed and size, so can began to wake be confusing up, the decision for even was made to experienced take them naturalists to to Burnaby’s identify.

Wildlife Rescue Typically, the Association western garter (WRA). is greyish-brown with After being cooled three paler-coloured down, the snakes stripes down its were stored in buckets back. The stripes are with damp sawdust. broken by two rows They will be kept in of alternating, darkhibernation until their coloured blotches, den site is restored and the top row of which temperatures become invades the midwarm enough to release dorsal stripe, giving them. it a variably wavy I asked herpetologist appearance.

Professor Patrick Yolanda Brooks at Gregory of the WRA told me that the University of Victoria snakes are different about the snakes, which sizes. This is to be he identified from expected as females are photographs as western larger than males, and terrestrial garter snakes keep growing

by the bay

throughout their lives, with the rate of growth slowing with age.

Western garter snakes are common in Fraser marshes, where they readily enter water, despite their “terrestrial” name. They consume a varied diet of slugs, earthworms, fish, frogs, nestling birds and small mammals, and have a primitive constricting ability, sometimes coiling their bodies around mammal prey while biting them.

Their saliva may be mildly poisonous.

Live young are born between July and September and in fall the snakes cool and lower their metabolic rate, before entering a den (hibernaculum) for the winter.

The Boundary Bay hibernaculum is much larger than average for our region, but in other areas of North America, winter dens of hundreds or thousands of garter snakes have been found.

Other garter snake species are also found in our area.

Common garter snakes may have bold black and yellow dorsal stripes, but like the western garter snake, they can vary greatly in colour and size. This wide-spread species occurs in a diversity of habitats from wetlands to hillsides.

Another species, the northwestern garter snake, often has a red dorsal stripe. It is less

likely to enter water than the other two, but will roam on beaches, grass margins of dykes, and woodland edges.

The very large congregation of western garter snakes on Boundary Bay is an indication of the richness of our local marsh habitat.

Snakes are a welladapted, essential component of the delta environment. It is most unfortunate that they were disturbed,

and moving them was a very risky strategy, only suitable for an emergency situation.

Hopefully their den can be reconstructed so that the snakes can be safely returned, and monitoring will be done to ensure the population survives.

Kwantlen’s Cloverdale campus to offer B.C.’s first commercial beekeeping program

Prepare for a honey of a career A new program at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) is about to create quite a buzz.

The university will introduce B.C.’s first commercial beekeeping program in January, and by November 2016 its graduates will have the skills to work in, manage and grow existing beekeeping operations or establish and grow their own diversified cottage beekeeping business of up to 300 hives.

“There is a bee shortage in B.C.,” said Jim Pelton, executive director of Continuing and Professional Studies at KPU. “Our aim is to bolster B.C.’s beekeeping industry by providing the training that will allow our students to meet the province’s growing pollination demands.”

The program is timely. Pollinationdependent crops comprise an increasing portion of the B.C. agricultural landscape, with honeybee pollination already responsible for more than $200 million per year in agricultural production.

Based on three hives per acre, the province’s 20,000 acres of blueberry farms alone require 60,000 bee colonies for pollination. With only 45,000 commercial bee colonies in B.C., these farms import colonies from Alberta to meet demand.

The 16 initial graduates of KPU’s program could increase B.C.’s honey production by $250,000 per year while supporting more than $6 million in agricultural production, even if they just worked parttime managing small 50-colony operations.

And those figures would gradually expand, noted Pelton, as KPU’s beekeeping program is forecast to grow from 16

Kwantlen will soon offer a commercial beekeeping program. students per year in each of its first three years, to 24 students per year after that.

“Our graduates will have the skills to work in, manage and grow existing beekeeping operations or establish and grow their own diversified cottage beekeeping business that could include pollination, honey and apitherapy,” said Pelton.

John Gibeau, president of the Honeybee Centre in Cloverdale, helped develop the program outline and will be part of the advisory committee of apiculture industry partners who are guiding curriculum development in preparation for the first student cohort in January.

The curriculum will include a practicum, where students can gain a real-world perspective of the industry.

Gibeau, who has some 45 years experience as a beekeeper, called the program a “sweet deal” because it sets up grads for familysupporting careers, plus includes a fivemonth paid practicum equivalent to a

trades apprenticeship.

Then there is the profession itself, said Gibeau. He estimates a family can bring in revenue of about $100,000 a year and work until retirement.

“A career in professional beekeeping offers the freedom and independence of entrepreneurship, and you’re outdoors where it’s fresh, you’re grounded and you’re surrounded by nature with your kids. It’s a wonderful career.”

From a market perspective, Gibeau says honey continues to gain popularity as the healthiest sweetener, driving worldwide demand and sending prices soaring.

Gibeau’s Honeybee Centre offers three-day hobbyist courses and has taught just under 1,000 people over the years, but less than a handful of those hobbyists have gone on to become commercial beekeepers.

Students in the KPU program will receive instruction in beehive care, bee disease management, bee botany, integrated pest management, livestock production and colony management, food safety, processing, packaging and marketing, and bee business planning, management and growth.

Funding of $350,000 for the program was provided by Agriculture and AgriFood Canada and the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture through programs delivered by the Investment Agriculture Foundation of B.C. B.C. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick congratulated KPU on offering an important program and for training the next generation of beekeepers. Honeybees contribute an estimated $272 million to the provincial economy as pollinators of crops.

n s w e r : Ye s t e r d a y I bought one of these books to check it out and answer this question. For a person without a spouse, (assuming that you know what the new deÀnition of “spouse” is), or for someone not in a second marriage, it is pretty good. But there are innumerable situations that this DIY kit doesn’t tackle, including trust for disabled children, second marriages with separate children, and many more.

The book is not written by a BC practicing lawyer.

Judy Sorenson has finally decided to hang up her Legal Assistant running shoes and on March 27th, 2015 will be heading for the retirement hills. For 25 ½ years I was very fortunate to have Judy as my secretary. She will be heading back east to be closer to her two daughters and their families. So far Judy has four granddaughters and she and husband Palmer are looking forward to spending more time with them. Judy and I have seen a lot in the last 25 ½ years and dealt with many wonderful clients, most who became friends of the firm and would often drop in or call to say hello. I would like to think they wanted to see me, but it was really Judy they wanted to say hello to. I wish Judy all the best in her retirement and can truly say she will be missed by me, my family and by our clients.

Alan J. Benson, Lawyer, 106-15585, 24th Ave., South Surrey V4A 2J4 • 604-538-4911 For clients/friends: you can send your best wishes to Judy at JudySorenson@shawbiz.ca

More shocking new electric car incentives...

Lineup announced for planet party Sheila Reynolds Black Press

This year’s Party for the Planet just got a lot more funky.

Organizers of the all-day City of Surrey event unveiled the entertainment lineup Monday, with Five Alarm Funk announced as the headliner.

The band, which describes itself as a “horn powered, percussion-fuelled sonic and visual assault,” will bring its high-energy dance sound to the Surrey stage April 25, just a month-and-a-half before releasing its fifth studio album, Abandon Earth.

Also taking the spotlight at the Earth Day celebration will be Surrey’s own Good For Grapes. Fresh off their third cross-Canada tour promoting their latest single, Skipping Stone, the energetic folk group is still basking in the glow of winning the PEAK Performance Project (and $102,000) last fall.

The day features an array of speakers and entertainment on two stages, as well as roving performers and story times and childfriendly presentations at the City Centre Library.

There will be a birds of prey demonstration,

farmer’s market, tree and native plant sale, rock climbing and the

Salmon Parade. The event goes from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m and is free.

clubs from around the Lower Mainland will be participating; with judging by Russell and Wendy Kwan and Marc Koegal.

The event, which includes door prizes and refreshments, is open to the public; admission is $5.

Bells of Cloverdale

District’s only handbell choir

It tolls for them Boaz Joseph

E

Black Press

ach Thursday, when the bell rings at 2:37 p.m., most Berkshire Park Elementary students grab their knapsacks and head out the door.

But three minutes later, at 2:40 p.m., 13 students get together for more bell-ringing.

Berkshire Park, at 15372 94 Ave., is the only school in the district that has an English handbell club, led by music teacher Elaine Esau.

That 10 students returned from the program’s first year as an after-school activity is telling – one deep, protracted ding (or dong, depending on the size) of a brass handbell can be marvelous.

“They make a beautiful sound, really, they do,” Esau says.

In the school district, music classes are mandatory from kindergarten to Grade 4 and some schools have other music options for older students. But not normally handbells.

Esau says the reason handbell choirs are so scarce is that the handbells themselves are rare.

The school’s handbells sat silent for years at Cloverdale United Church (see sidebar) before being donated to the school.

It’s a set of 36 bells, good for three octaves – a solid, basic set for beginners, notes Esau.

The teacher also gives a visitor a little history lesson, describing how handbells were first used in medieval times to summon people to church.

Initially, they were used in mathematical patterns, but not melodies. Melodies only

Boaz Joseph photos

Berkshire Park Elementary students play English Handbells, led by teacher Elaine Esau (below). arrived in the 1600s when the first tuned sets of handbells were made.

“That’s when they started handbell choirs.”

They’re still called that – choirs – even though no voices are involved.

The students keep coming back for the sound.

“Even when they play at the wrong (timing), it sounds cool,” says Esau.

Handbell ringing is certainly more difficult than it looks and it’s not the type of music one can practise at home. It takes precise concentration, timing and teamwork, since each student is usually responsible for only two bells, and two notes within each song.

They’ll stick with the same two bells, as well as corresponding sharps or flats, for most of the year.

“It requires intense concentration,” Esau explains. “They have to listen to one another and constantly be counting.”

Esau describes the entire choir as being one piano player – each student is one finger. If one pupil misses practice, it’s like a missing key on a piano.

“A lot of it is muscle memory. They’re remembering when to ring and if they have to

switch parts, it’s like starting (training) over.”

It’s good for memory, co-ordination and discipline – like a team sport, she adds.

“It’s a good workout for the brain. Just like with any other musical instrument, anything that you do, whether it’s singing in a choir, or playing in the band, you’ve go the options of moving on with music.”

But handbell music itself can accelerate with experience.

“Once you get more advanced, you can play with mallets, or you can make percussive sounds… there are different ways of holding and ringing the bells,” Esau says.

In uber-advanced adult choirs, one player may be responsible for six or seven bells sitting on a table in front of them.

For the Berkshire Park students, it does help if they have piano experience and can read music, but for those who don’t, Esau prepares colour codes on the song sheets.

For the more complex techniques, the sheets have abbreviations and notations that are unique to the instrument. They include LV (laissez vibrer), SK (shake), TD (thumb damp), PL (pluck) and SW (swing).

Naturally, handbell music can sound “churchy,” and is a perfect fit for school district Christmas concerts, but the Berkshire Park Elementary students have also played at the school and have plans for a Christmas concert at Queen’s Avenue United Church in New Westminster.

The bells used at Berkshire Park Elementary were donated to Cloverdale United Church in 1986

by Lydia Rowles, who passed away a few months later.

Choir member Steven Johnston agreed to lead a handbell choir, and of 21 people who signed up, 14 joined and stayed for several performances from Oct. 19 to Christmas that year.

The choir was then disbanded after Johnston was unable to continue leading it, and its teenage members were too busy with other things.

The bells were stored in a locked cupboard until 2001, when former church choir leader David Proznick borrowed the bells for his choir at Crescent United Church and, on another occasion, a summer music class at Camp Kwomais.

In the fall of 2001, Ivy Charyna of Hazelmere United Church borrowed the bells to train and direct a small group who then performed at “Carols in the Country” on Dec. 10, 2001.

The bells were later returned to Cloverdale United Church, where they remained until being lent to Berkshire Park Elementary School – with the help and guidance from members of the handbell choir at Queen’s Avenue United Church in New Westminster.

Three of the original groups of bell ringers are still members of Cloverdale United Church: Judy Cook, Thelma Smidt and Dora Rogers.

Arts ‘incubator’ held at Centennial Park

PlayRoom launched Staff Reporter

A place for artists to connect with one another, experiment in other disciplines and ponder the Peninsula arts scene was launched in White Rock last week.

The PlayRoom, described by host Virginia Gillespie as an ‘incubator of creativity’, offers a free opportunity for artists of all kinds to come together to share ideas and try new things in a positive environment.

The gatherings are held Thursday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m. (warm-up begins at 6:30) at the Centennial Park Arts Space (next door to Centennial Arena), and are facilitated each week by a different local artist.

“The idea behind it is to be a way for artists to get together in an experimental way, and to try out new things or maybe collaborate,” Gillespie explained, noting it is a great way for artists of various disciplines to connect with one another.

“I know there are a number of very talented people who work as groups or individuals, but we don’t really have what I would call an arts district or arts scene.”

The idea of The PlayRoom is not a

new one for Gillespie and local artists; the South Surrey resident first held a similar event called INvision in 2012 to celebrate and raise money for the creation of the Eagle’s Nest labyrinth in Kwomais Point Park.

The event was well-received by the arts community, so when Gillespie – who is currently working on writing a few plays – had some ideas she wanted to share with others, a resurrection seemed only natural.

The response so far, despite the first gathering being held just last week, has been quite positive, Gillespie said, noting she has already had inquiries about a fall session.

“There’s definitely something that is stirring people’s imaginations,” she said.

Featured artists in the coming weeks include Heidi McCurdy (March 26), Fanny Starchild (April 9), Elizabeth Carefoot (April 16), Heidi Greco (April 23), Claire Moore (April 30), Rosie Miller (May 14) and Sylvia Taylor (May 21).

Although she has a roster of wellknown local artists lined up, Gillespie encouraged people of all skills and experience levels to participate.

Sharp shooters Some of Canada’s top archers were at the Cloverdale Agriplex last weekend, taking part in the 2015 3D Canadian Indoor Archery Championships. On Saturday, the event’s biggest, busiest day, about 170 were registered in competitions in which they aimed for distant targets – “animals” made of high-density foam. The three-day event was hosted by the Semiahmoo Fish and Game Club. Clockwise, from top: Archers take aim during a competition; a high-density foam bear target after being hit; archers fire at a variety of animal targets; Erin McGladdery of Lloydminster, Alta. examines her target during a compound-bow event; shooters check their accuracy.

But despite the rain, Surrey golfers fared well at the third event on the Canadian Junior Golf Association’s B.C. schedule.

In the boys 14-andunder tournament, Surrey’s Daniel Sun was victorious, shooting a two-round score of 148 (69-79) to win by nine.

“The first round my putting was really good and I was dropping everything,” said Sun, after winning his second consecutive CJGA title. “My driver and my wedge play were good, too, but that all went away in the second round. With the cold weather and rain, I couldn’t hit my shots…

I’m sure it was difficult for everyone.”

In the girls 14-andunder event, Morgan Creek member Susan Xiao finished first after opening a nine-stroke lead after just one round.

Xiao shot an threeunder par 70 to start, and finished even after shooting 76 on Day 2.

alum Matt Bradley, a centre, made the team as a 17-yearold and scored 17 goals and totaled 40 points while playing in 71 regular-season games.

He finished 11th among rook-

ies in points, and fifth in goals scored.

The Tigers, the second-place team in the WHL’s Central Division, will face-off against the Red Deer Rebels in a bestof-seven first-round playoff series.

“Playoffs are a different season and anything can happen.

We’ve shown that in past years, knocking off higher seeded teams than we were seeded, so anything can happen,” Cox told the Medicine Hat News.

“They’re a really good team, we’ve got to respect them and they’re going to come at us hard. Over the next few days we’ll come up with a game plan and figure out a way to beat these guys.”

The Kelowna Rockets boast a pair of Surrey skaters on their blue-line as they begin their playoff run against the Tri-City Americans, who have Cloverdale’s Parker Wotherspoon on defence.

First-round of playoffs begins this week i from page 30 while in his third season in Kelowna, while 17-year-old Devante Stephens tallied four times and added seven assists in 64 games played in his rookie year. Wotherspoon, in his second season with the Americans, was their leading scorer among defenders with nine goals and 42 points.

The Rockets were runaway winners of the B.C. Division with a 53-13-6 record for 112 points, 30 better then the secondplace Victoria Royals, who have 17-yearold Tyler Soy of Cloverdale playing centre.

Soy completed his second season in the provincial capital with 28 goals and 63 points, and Sunday was named winner of the team’s Unsung Hero award.

Tristan Jarry will lead the Edmonton Oil Kings into the postseason, a year after he was part of their Memorial Cup championship team.

Jarry played in 55 games, posting a 2.74 goals against average to rank seventh among WHL net minders. The 19-yearold North Delta native had a save percentage of .907, ninth-best in the league. On Tuesday, he was named the Oil Kings’ Most Valuable Player.

Another North Delta native – and former White Rock resident – Nic Petan of the Portland Winterhawks, worked his way up to seventh in the scoring race.

Petan played just 54 games, missing time at the start of the season while in a preseason camp with the Winnipeg Jets, and again just after Christmas while winning a gold medal with Team Canada at the World Junior Hockey Championships in Toronto and Montreal.

Petan was drafted 43rd overall in the 2013 National Hockey League Entry Draft, claimed by the Jets in the second round.

The Seattle Thunderbirds will also have a pair of local players on their defense for the postseason. Surrey’s Jerret Smith, 19, played in all 72 games, scoring 11 goals and 38 points in his third season with Seattle.

Cloverdale’s Sahvan Khaira, 17, netted a goal and two assists in 43 games on the T-Birds blue line.

Arvin Atwal won’t be seeing any playoff action. The 19 year-old form North Delta completed his third season with the Giants, establishing career-bests in goals (six), assists (19) and points (25). The Giants, however, finished in the B.C. Division basement and missed the playoffs.

The Ministry of Energy and Mines will administer and implement the CEV program through partnerships with the New Car Dealers Association of British Columbia, the Fraser Basin Council, and the Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association.

Quote: Blair Qualey, president and CEO of the New Car Dealers Association of B.C. is delighted with the announcement.

EV “Our members are seeing increasing interest from consumers in purchasing electric vehicles and this program will provide many with the incentive they need to make a purchase.”

Visitors to the Vancouver International Auto Show, which closes on Sunday, will have the opportunity to take a clean energy vehicle for a spin. Most manufacturers are also showing their clean energy vehicles inside the Vancouver Trade & Convention Centre West.

If you would like to plug in an all-electric Nissan LEAF at your home, this weekend is the last chance you will have to get one for nothing!

Dalton, New Hampshire – “Every day’s a school day,” is a popular saying a friend of mine often references.

Just because we’re not in a formal establishment, with books in hand, or loose leaf paper in front of us, it doesn’t mean we’re not learning. Some lessons are tougher than others are and we can’t wait for them to be over.

Then again, there are some school days we just don’t want to end.

One of those days was with the Team O’Neil Rally School located in the middle of nowhere, New Hampshire. The school is housed on close to 600 acres of land. I call it an art because it really is.

Rally driving is about the fine balance of finesse with throttle, brake and steering input. Like brushstrokes on a canvas! Make a few mistakes and, well, it’s not a pretty picture.

In the journey to master car control skills, there’s also about 10 kilometres of rally-ready trails – which can be driven in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction to mix things up – so there’s not much room for boredom.

While I’d been to the school previously, the conditions were completely different.

The dry, dirt-covered earth from summertime was now replaced with snow, ice and all the slipperiness your heart desires.

Equipped with newfound knowledge, or knowledge that was sitting on the shelf and just needed a little dusting off, the short opening classroom session was not only educational, but fantastically entertaining and funny. With that completed, the group of Canadian journalists headed out to our chariots. They just happened to be Ford Fiestas.

If Ford’s subcompact wasn’t fun enough to drive in a “normal” setting, it sure was here.

The Fiestas have mainly stock components, aside from rollover bars, four-point seat belts, Bilstein heavy-duty suspension components and performance brake pads. Perhaps that’s what was so appealing. Here were these 120 horsepowered cars, slipping and sliding (sometimes) with grace and poise, and the amount of mirth to be had was limitless.

The objective of the day was to factor in left-foot braking techniques on an oval, in a slalom and via what rallying calls the Scandinavian flick. It’s frustrating and rewarding at the same time knowing that the difference between doing it correctly or screwing it up is really only within the gentle feathering of the brakes or the addition of a little more throttle.

Once you find the sweet spot, you want to ride it out for as long as you can.

Or until you get too confident and

New Golf Sportwagon scores a big hole in one

By Zack Spencer

Austin, Texas – The latest seventh generation Volkswagen Golf has been a huge hit, winning the World Car of the Year award, along with the North American Car of the Year and several other titles.

The effort and billions of dollars, VW invested in its small car platform, called MQB, is at the core of this success.

This lighter, yet stronger, platform is so flexible the Volkswagen Group has plans to use it for dozens of vehicles throughout the many brands it builds. The benefit to the consumer is a vehicle that is lighter, can use a smaller, more efficient engine and, with huge economies of scale, VW can lower the price.

The Golf hatchback along with the sportier GTI is available in the market now and very soon the Sportwagon (station wagon), built on the same successful platform, will arrive.

Looks One could be forgiven for not noticing the major changes in this 2015 model but that is the way VW likes to do things – keep the exterior looking familiar, yet radically update the things that are less obvious.

The one thing that should get any buyer’s attention is the new starting price of $22,495, which is roughly $1,100 less than the last model.

In addition, the base model gets standard 15-inch alloy wheels, heated seats, Bluetooth and a backup camera for a

optional diesel, with 150hp, but more importantly, 236 lb.-ft. of torque is only marginally more efficient, rated at 7.7L city and 5.4L on the highway.

Considering this engine is $2,300 more expensive, the new turbo gasoline engine will certainly be a sensible choice for drivers that don’t pile on the kms.

The gasoline engine gets a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic; the diesel gets a 6-speed manual or the high-tech duel clutch automatic. It’s too bad both engines are not offered with the TDI’s transmissions.

Great news for VW fans, waiting for all wheel drive (AWD), the 2017 model will arrive with AWD in the Sportwagon and that technology should spread to the rest of the Golf line.

Volkswagen Golf Sportwagon. total of $2,000 of additional value. The Sportwagon is sold as the base Trendline, the middle $24,695 Comfortline and the $30,495 Highline, with a $1,400 premium for an automatic transmission and $2,300 more for a TDI diesel engine.

Inside This Sportwagon is a true sport utility vehicle. It has the lower, sportier stance of a car coupled with a huge cargo area that would put most small crossovers to shame.

The front seats are heated and the rear

seats split and fold. The remainder of the cabin is the same as the regular Golf family, with front and rear passenger dimensions the same except for rear passenger headroom, which makes way for the beautiful panoramic sunroof.

The dash has high–quality switches and dials and even the base model is fitted with a 14.7cm (5.8-inch) radio screen that doubles as a backup camera.

This screen size is a bit on the small side but VW will increase the size slightly when the 2016 model arrives

this fall.

Drive What can’t be seen but is instantly obvious when driving is the new 170hp 1.8L turbocharged base engine, that is so much more advanced and responsive, compared to the old, less efficient 5-cylinder in the previous model.

This engine has superb mid-range torque and it runs on less expensive regular fuel.

It’s efficient too, using 9.5L/100km in the city and 6.6L on the highway. The

Verdict Volkswagen held the launch event for this Sportwagon in Texas, hoping for beautiful sunny weather but we were treated to pouring rain.

With the wipers plugging away and the radio on, this latest Golf feels all grown up, almost “Audi Light”.

The smooth power, along with the good feedback to the driver, plus the wellinsulated cabin reminds us why this car has won so many awards.

The Sportwagon takes all the goodness of the hatchback and shares it in a slightly longer and morew useful package.

If you are in the market for a small sport utility, give this truly sporty utility a try. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Thursday, March 26, 2015 Peace Arch News Great shopping, farmers’ market, fabulous wineries, beautiful parklands and a thriving arts community, Murrayville has it all. Life is easy and fun when everything you need and like to do is close to home.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Murrayville House – your home, your community

W

ith a strong sense of community and a vibrant urban core, Murrayville House in Langley is a wonderful place to call home. The boutique-style property offers a collection of 92 residences and features one- and two-bedroom homes, many with dens, ranging from 675 to 1,300 square feet. The four-storey condominium building offers exceptional contemporary living with country flair, in an established and popular community.

The builder – Newmark Group, headed by Mark Chandler – has paid attention to quality, style and detail in every one of the single level suites. They have many attractive features, from the oversized private balconies and patios to the gorgeous, quality flooring throughout the entry, kitchen, dining and living areas. The gourmet kitchens will showcase sleek stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, shaker-style cabinetry, and porcelain backsplash tile.

“Buyers of homes at Murrayville have the best of both worlds – urban sophistication blended with rural, idyllic countryside,” says Murrayville House sales director, Vince Pontaletta. Located in a historic neighbourhood, Murrayville House is close to great amenities, boasts mountain views, and there are five nearby golf courses and spectacular parklands.

Properties in Langley also offer much lower housing costs – 57 per cent less, on average, than in Vancouver.

“If in real estate, the first rule is location, location, location – Murrayville House offers that and more,” says Pontaletta.

“People love the area and they love the look of the design of the homes.” He adds: “People are being very proactive about this property – it blends three key elements that are really speaking to potential buyers – an amazing neighbourhood,

The property itself is fabulous – a lovely, lush, landscaped garden with private walkways and a central courtyard with a water fountain, along with a large amenities room with a fully equipped kitchen, outdoor patio, fitness facility and children’s playground.

a respected and experienced builder, and their dedication to quality and style. This is a great place to call home.”

And that’s exactly what Murrayville is: a “home” – not a condo. It is a home that speaks to the heart of what it means to be surrounded by comfort, style and elegance in a sophisticated urban setting, surrounded by country charm.

Prices for the nicely appointed new residences, with timeless beauty and lush greenery right outside your doorstep, start in the low $200,000 range – a great value for a home in the Lower Mainland. The Murrayville House Sales Centre is located at 220-230 22196 50th Avenue in Langley.

Murrayville House is currently being built and the Sales Centre is expected to open on March 28 and will be available for viewings daily from noon to 5 p.m., except Fridays. For more information, e-mail: info@murrayvillehouse.com or visit: www.murrayvillehouse.com.

Real Estate Corner

Q. We are planning to sell our home soon. What room should we focus our main attention when getting our house ready for sale?

A.

Focus on the kitchen. The kitchen is a major consideration in most sales. For many people, the kitchen is the most important room in a house.

If you have an outdated kitchen and plan to sell your home, a kitchen remodel usually doesn’t make sense.

However, a kitchen makeover can work magic in brightening your home. Here are a few tips to liven up a tired kitchen without taxing your pocketbook: 1) A New Coat Of Paint. A fresh coat of paint can work wonders in brightening any room. Focus on neutral colors.

2) Clean Up The Clutter. Put away any extra appliances, cookbooks, and other messy items that take up counter space.

3) Clean, Clean, Clean. Make sure everything sparkles...from the windows, appliances, counters, to the floor.

4) Out With The Old, In With The New. If your countertop tile is outdated, old, or grungy. replace it with new tile.

Remember to keep the colors neutral. If you have an old stainless steel faucet replace it with a new one. These improvements can be completed inexpensively, and will increase the value and appeal of your home.

5) Replace Outdated Hardware. If you have old, outdated hardware on your kitchen cabinets, look for a new, stylish replacement.

6) Lighting. Make sure there is light shining in the kitchen when you show your house. You want your kitchen to look bright and spotless.

Ruth was shaped by the prairies.....the irrepressible dreams of the vast sky and the stolid dependability of the limitless ground. Her spirit was the pervading beauty of the two together. The trophies of Ruth’s life are the unseen legacies of her compassion and generosity.

The ripples cast by the inspiration she gave to her children and by her countless charitable acts are moving outward and will continue to do so for years to come, making the world a better place for all.

Born & raised in Vanguard SK & Killarney MB, Ruth spent the war years in Calgary, the following 38 years in Edmonton AB and retired in 1984 to White Rock BC. Ruth is survived by her husband Richard Frankish; her children Lynn Mowat, Brian (Marg), Bruce and Leslie Frankish; grandchildren Bradley

OBITUARIES

(Iona) Mowat, O.J. (Alona) and Scott Frankish; and great grandson Kirill Frankish. Ruth was predeceased by son in law David Mowat.

Celebrations of Ruth’s life will be held in White Rock in May and in Edmonton in November.

EMPLOYMENT/EDUCATION

DONNELLY, Maureen (nee Thompson) Aug. 24, 1943 - Mar 7, 2015 It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Maureen Donnelly on Saturday, March 7, 2015 at Surrey Memorial Hospital. Left to cherish her memory are her husband of 51 years Bob, her daughter Lorraine in Surrey BC, son Craig (Rina) in Winnipeg, and her three beautiful grandchildren Hannah, Sarah, and Erin. She will also be missed by other family members and many friends in Winnipeg and White Rock/Surrey, BC. She was predeceased by her parents Wes and Jean Thompson and her brother Bruce. Maureen was born in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba on August 24, 1943 but spent most of her life in Winnipeg before her husband and daughter moved to South Surrey in 1994. Prior to moving to the coast Maureen was Deputy Registrar at the Manitoba Court of Queen’s Bench.

As was her wish, cremation has taken place and internment will take place at a later date. The family are holding a Celebration of Life at their home on April 26 between1 and 4 pm. and invite friends and neighbours to attend.

TRAVEL 75 GILLIES, Marjorie Jane (nee Kuwiz) passed away peacefully at her home in White Rock, B.C. March 19, 2015 at the age of 83. Born Feb. 25, 1932 in Minnedosa, Man., she is survived by husband Dr. James Gillies. They married June 12, 1957 and lived in Winnipeg until 1986. Left to mourn are her daughter Jane (Keith) Hunt of Beeton, Ont.; son James (Cheryl) Gillies of Calgary, Alta.; grandchildren Justin (Anna), Alison (Adam) and Andrew (Michelle) Hunt; Graydon and Holly Gillies; great-grandchildren Joseph and Abigail Hunt. She was predeceased in 2001 by her beloved sister Lillian Allison.

She began her career in Radio and in 1970 became the Executive Director for the Central Planning Association of Canada. In 1977 Marjorie was the information officer at Central Mortgage and Housing. In 1980 she became the Director of Public Relations for Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg. In her position at HSC, she planned Queen Elizabeth II’s 1984 visit to dedicate the Children’s Hospital. In 1986 she retired to Kelowna, BC. In 1998 she and James made their final move to White Rock.

In 1973 Marjorie was a Liberal candidate for Manitoba’s legislative assembly under Izzie Asper; she later became a school trustee.

Marjorie’s career as a volunteer began in 1964 when she was president of the Women’s Committee at the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. In 1967 she organized the Governor’s Ball in celebration of Canada’s centennial, which was attended by Hudson’s Bay Governor, Lord Amory. In Kelowna she volunteered with the Kelowna Art Gallery’s Pride Committee, the Symphony Society, the United Way and the Kiwanis Music Festival. Once in White Rock she was president of the Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary, a speaker for the “ABC’s of Fraud” and White Rock Rotary Friends (Ann’s).

Marjorie’s true passion and love was for animals. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the British Columbia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

A private service for family was held at Victory Memorial Park in Surrey B.C., March 25, 2015.
