Metro board to consider recommendation for Surrey to rethink South Campbell Heights request next week

‘No rationale’ to expand Campbell area Tracy Holmes Staff reporter

Senior staff at Metro Vancouver say there is “no substantial rationale or demonstrated need” to expand urban development into the Hazelmere Valley. In a report that was presented to Metro’s regional planning committee, and supported earlier this month, senior regional planner Terry Hoff recommends

that the MV board ask the City of Surrey to consider an “alternate amendment” with regard to land-use designations for the South Campbell Heights area. “Staff do not recommend the proposed extension of the (Urban Containment Boundary) and conversion of Rural lands to allow General Urban development south beyond 16 Avenue,” Hoff concludes. The Metro board is scheduled to con-

sider the resolution at its May 25 meeting. The city had asked in January to amend the regional growth strategy (Metro 2040) – including extending the urban containment boundary by 235 hectares – in order to accommodate the “Stage 1 South Campbell Heights Land Use Plan” that was endorsed by Surrey council last July. The area subject to the proposed amendment – south of 16 Avenue near 192 Street,

abutting the Township of Langley – is currently designated rural in Metro 2040, and identified as a Special Study Area. (The tag typically applies to locations where a municipality, prior to adoption of the RGS, has “expressed an intention to alter the existing land use… but where more planning work for the area needed to be undertaken,” Hoff’s report notes.)

hree people a week. Moms, dads, kids. Killed by drunk drivers in B.C. in the mid-2000s, with no sign of it ever changing. Retired RCMP inspector Ted Emanuels says it matter-offactly, sitting in the office of the province’s traffic division. Trying to prosecute those drivers under the province’s outdated criminal system was one of his biggest challenges, and biggest frustrations, of his career at that time. “It took a police officer 40 hours to get through one criminal impaired-driving charge,” Emanuels says. Without that, there was no way to get a driver off the road for any longer than a day. And there were so, so many drunk drivers. “It was a societal norm. It was so normal to drink and drive that even police officers drank

Laurel Middelaer holds a photograph of her daughter Alexa, who was killed by a drunk driver 10 years ago and inspired Alexa’s Team, comprising officers around B.C. and drove,” Emanuels says. “People thought, if you drank and drove and never killed anybody, where was the victim? If you got away with it, what was the harm?” Then came the tragic death of a little girl. Laurel Middelaer takes a deep breath, 10 years later, as

she begins to once again tell the story of how her daughter was killed. “It really was a perfect day with Alexa,” she says. The words tumble out of her mouth almost mechanically as Middelaer sits calmly on the patio of her South Surrey home. It was 10 years ago yesterday,

May 17, 2008, the first day of the Victoria Day long weekend. It was a beautiful spring morning in Ladner. She and Alexa, who attended preschool in Crescent Beach, had gone swimming in the family’s pool. The little girl had wanted to show off her favourite horse to her aunt Daphne, an equestrian

herself, and her beloved grandparents, who had just arrived from Alberta. “She loved this horse that was just about 200 metres away from where we lived. It was a very gentle horse and it would just let Alexa hang on its neck,” Middelaer says. Continued on A4

Investigation into arson for White Rock’s biggest blaze still ‘very much active’

Five Corners residents happy to be home Alex Browne & Tracy Holmes Staff reporters

Two years ago, White Rock residents Kenya Anderson and her husband Michael Fry were homeless in the aftermath of the fire that gutted their top-floor condo in the Ocean Ridge complex at Five Corners. Like nearly 100 other residents who lost their homes in the early morning hours of May 15, 2016, they were facing massive uncertainties after the fire – which spread from a blaze at a neighbouring building site – had thrust them onto the street with only the clothes on their backs, their pets and what few key possessions they could grab. A month after the fire, they were still struggling, living in a borrowed trailer at Hazelmere RV Park on 8 Avenue with their dog Louie and cat Pooky. Today, they’re comfortably back at home in the rebuilt development, where only changes in ground-floor retail businesses give any hint of the disruption from the dramatic conflagration, determined to be the result of arson. White Rock RCMP Sgt. Joel Glen confirmed Wednesday that the case is “still very much an active investigation.” “We’re fully engaged in it,” he told Peace Arch News. Glen said the sheer size of the fire – both the damage and the number of people affected – has “absolutely” contributed to the investigation’s timeline. “There’s forensics that are involved, analysis of statements and any video that was obtained… All that stuff is being looked into,” he said. “White Rock is not a huge detachment,” Glen added. “We’ve actually called in outside resources to help us with it as well.” Glen said police in White Rock and Surrey are also continuing efforts to determine if there are any connections between the Five Corners blaze and other fire incidents that occurred that same day. He confirmed those incidents include a fire that was reported just before noon on Semiahmoo First Nation land.

Surrey RCMP had said at the time that no link had been identified between the two crimes, and that one man, identified at the time as James Adrian Dyer, had been charged in connection with the blaze on SFN land – in which “some guy lit fire to some pallets on a basketball court.” According to court records, Dyer was handed a nine-month conditional sentence in Surrey Provincial Court this past February, as well as 12 months probation and a DNA order, in connection with a May 15, 2016 “mischief to property over $5,000” incident in Surrey. A stay of proceedings was entered on a charge of “arson damaging property.” “I can’t say that they’re linked,” Glen said. “We’ve spoken to Surrey investigators.” Glen would not speculate on when the Five Corners arson investigation might be concluded. In addition to the suspicious cause, controversy concerning water capacity to fight the fire

had been raised by residents, including the revelation in a freedom-of-information request that Peace Arch Hospital suffered a water shortage as a result that day. Thursday, city communications manager Farnaz Farrokhi said that while lessons can be learned from all significant incidents of this kind, “there has not been a direct change to city policies.” “In the initial stages this was an extremely fast-paced and dynamic incident and though there was significant property damage there was no loss of life,” she said in an email. “This can be attributed to the response of residents and the initial actions of fire and police crews on scene.” Farrokhi noted, however, that at the time of the Five Corners fire, the city had the same water-storage capacity as in decades past, but the city has since built an additional reservoir. “Our storage capacity is well positioned to handle the city’s fire-service needs with total available storage that is 1.55 million litres more than when the city fought that fire in 2016.” Meanwhile, Anderson said that while Fry is still on the mend from recent heart surgery, and while Pooky passed away a year

ago at the grand old age of 17, their overwhelming emotion is gladness to be back. “It’s just a huge sigh of relief to be back at Five Corners,” she said, adding that the couple had moved to a few temporary homes in the interim while the rebuild was underway. They finally moved back on Feb. 23 – in the middle of a snowstorm – she said, as homeowners took turns moving in, three per day, after occupancy was greenlit on Feb. 19. “Our move was a bit of a nightmare because of the snowfall, but that was nothing to do with the building,” she said. “I remember taking Louie for a walk in the snow and being so happy – I felt just like George Bailey in It’s A Wonderful Life.” Anderson said that, to her knowledge, “every homeowner who wanted to come back is back, but none of the renters – it wouldn’t have made sense for them to wait. Everybody’s happy to be back.” Some owners have since sold their units or are selling as the value of the properties has increased, she said, and some have been rented. “Two women in the building

have passed away since the fire. One lady had moved to assisted living by the time her place had been reconstructed, and decided to go on living there.” While Anderson and Fry had been critical of the city’s response in the immediate aftermath of the fire – alleging unpreparedness for the emergency and claiming that the city had actively discouraged people from donating goods to fire victims, with an early message that all residents’ needs had been taken care of – Anderson said they want to let that go. “Looking back, nothing matters now. I don’t want to go there,” she said. However, she would advise anyone to take out home insurance – having it had been crucial in helping herself and Fry get through the last two years, she said. “We all spend well over $1,000 per year for our vehicle insurance, yet we don’t always look at our home insurance, as an owner or renter. It starts around $400 per year – and that’s to replace everything you own and put your family up in an emergency. “Pretty good deal, if you ask me. And, yes, we’ve increased our policy. I hope none of us ever need it again.”

PROTECT OUR PLANET... RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER.

Continued from A1 “(Alexa) said they should all go to the tack shop and get special horse cookies. Alexa had a little purple basket that she wanted to take and put the horse cookies in.” So, Alexa, her grandparents and her aunt headed to the tack store, got some horse cookies and happily went off to spoil the horse. Middelaer pauses, her voice fading as she recalls what happened next. She was at home with her son, Christian, then seven, when she heard loud sirens and saw a helicopter overhead. “I said, ‘Let’s get on our bikes and see what’s going on, because there’s something really, really horrific that’s happened.’” The pair hadn’t made it outside when the phone rang. A police officer told her there had been a terrible crash. “It’s Alexa and I know she’s dead,” Middelaer told her husband Michael, with the officer still on the phone. The family rushed to the scene, looking for a girl with a head of wild white-blonde curls and that little purple basket. Middelaer found her, a little body surrounded by first responders and a jumble of smashed-up fence. “I couldn’t hold her, but I could touch her ankle.” Alexa was rushed to BC Children’s Hospital in critical condition. She died soon after. Because the family had arrived at the crash site before it could be cleaned up, they saw first responders do everything in their power to keep Alexa alive. This has left no uncertainty, no “what ifs” for Middelaer to agonize over. “I don’t like to relive the scene in my mind, but I don’t have any unanswered questions.” As the days and hours went by, the day’s details emerged. As Alexa had been getting ready to feed her favourite horse, Carol Berner, then 58, had been having a few glasses of wine at her Ladner home. As Alexa was petting the horse, Berner got into her car and started driving. Her red car hit a speed bump before careening into the four-yearold girl and her family, just as Alexa was feeding the horse. Two year later, Berner was convicted on two counts of

She served 18 months behind bars. The driver’s fate isn’t important to Middelaer. The autumn after the crash – while the justice system was still going through its paces – Middelaer met with Emanuels, who was at the time in charge of the Lower Mainland traffic division. Emanuels asked the family if they would make their daughter the face of a new campaign to crack down on drunk drivers. All but numb from pain, Middelaer resolved to make her daughter’s death count. “We felt like if we could channel it into an area that could bring change, that it would be a viable thing to do.” And so, Alexa’s Team was born. What started as a team of just 26 Lower Mainland officers focusing on getting impaired drivers off the road has grown into a group of more than 2,400 from all corners of the province, from the RCMP and municipal detachments alike. An officer is brought onto the team after catching 12 impaired drivers in one year. The strategy represented a complete 180 in the way police treated impaired drivers. “Policing is a balance of priorities and competing interests and, in the 2000s, we had all the gang killings in the Lower Mainland and the Surrey Six,” Emanuels says. “You had 15 or 20 people being killed by gangs, and there we were throwing all those resources at it.” But drunk driving, which at that time killed more than 150 people every year, got only the remnants of police attention. Middelaer has been involved in Alexa’s Team since Day

1. Every year, during an initiation ceremony for new members, she tells the story of Alexa’s death. “It’s been hard. I relive the May long weekend every year,” she says. Each qualifying officer gets an Alexa’s Team ball cap, a certificate and a handwritten note from Middelaer, explaining how much their service means to the family. Both Emanuels and Middelaer think that little bit of recognition – which cost the RCMP $20 per officer and an afternoon off work – has made all the difference. “This team went back to their units and they put their ball caps up in their work stations, they put their certificates up on the wall. We’ve got members that carry that note with Alexa’s picture with them every day when they go to work,” Emanuels says. “It compelled people because they want that little bit of recognition, they wanted to be part of that team.” In the decade following Alexa’s death, the number of people killed by drunk drivers across B.C. has been cut in half. Emanuels attributes that to Alexa’s Team, as well as the pressure Alexa’s death put on the province. In 2010, B.C. brought in immediate roadside prohibitions. Any driver caught with a blood-alcohol level of 0.08 per cent now faces an immediate, 90-day driving ban and a $500 fine, with a 0.05 per cent bloodalcohol level netting a shorter driving ban and smaller fine. Before 2010, police could only slap drunk drivers with 24-hour driving bans. Repeat offenders now get an ignition interlock device, Continued on A5

86,000 infractions recorded

Continued from A4 which tests a driver’s breath for alcohol every time they turn the key, as well as a rehabilitation course. Between 2010 and 2016, the last year for which figures are available, the province estimates that 351 lives have been saved by pulling impaired drivers off the road. And, since 2010, officers have handed out more than 86,000 impaired-driving sanctions. That doesn’t mean, however, that the job is done. People still drive drunk. “With all the gains we’ve had, the education, the public awareness… they’re still picking up lots of impaired drivers,” Emanuels says. But for the Middelaers, it’s time to take a step back as Alexa’s Team completes its 10th year. “For us, as a family, this marks a natural closing point,” Middelaer says. The constant onslaught of attention has taken its toll. Middelaer, who was the principal at Southridge independent school in South Surrey, was used to speaking publicly at her job, but speaking about her daughter’s death, and being judged for it,

weekend – making sure that he had all the help he needed. They even sought outside help, in hopes he could share with others what he couldn’t tell his parents. “We were too broken ourselves,” Middelaer recalls. But, despite the struggles since, every life saved helps Middelaer cope and makes the family feel like they’ve had an impact. The memory of that fiery little girl lives on, through a team of police officers who embody her spirit. “Alexa was a really feisty, strong, driven, spunky little girl, but she was really loving,” Middelaer says. “I think the (team of) police officers, that’s a nice match for her. She had a beautiful innocence but also a real fire.”

has been hard. The Delta police spokesperson at the time of the crash pulled her aside and prepared her for the media onslaught, but nothing prepared her for the cutting remarks from the public. Online comments – often anonymous – have suggested using the tragedy for self promotion, rather than an attempt to raise awareness for the greater issue. “I didn’t account for the invasiveness and judgment that people have of us,” she says. It’s only gotten more difficult as the years have gone on. In the wake of the crash, the Middelaers focused on their son – who “lost his best friend” on his birthday

Drive smarter

rivers these days have quite the challenge, whether they’re on the roads to commute to and from work, or behind the wheel during the day specifically for their jobs. To be blunt – it’s a jungle out there. With rampant development driving an influx of residents and new businesses, there’s – obviously – more vehicles on the road. Parents are hustling to get their kids to school on time; workers are racing to punch the clock; and then, of course, there’s everyone else heading to go shopping, camping, hang out on the beach or sundry other destination. Climbing gas prices don’t appear to have swayed people from getting behind the wheel to join the endless caravan. What’s disturbing, however, is that as the roads get busier, drivers appear to be getting both more aggressive with their driving decisions – perhaps due to poor planning that is leaving them with a limited time to reach their destinations – and paying less attention. South Surrey’s 16 Avenue is a prime example. On a daily basis, commuters can routinely be seen passing lines of traffic along stretches of road where they’re separated from oncoming vehicles with a pair of solid yellow lines – you know, the ones that prohibit passing, for safety reasons. They do this on blind hills and corners, and, when particularly impatient, use the intersection left-turn lane to pass. And 16th, sadly, is far from the exception. Closer to town, intersections are a growing concern. Drivers wanting to turn right are so intent on grabbing the first gap in traffic that they simply don’t notice the pedestrians who are about to get the walk signal that gives them priority to cross. Too often, left-turn drivers have the same mindset, either gunning through the intersection to try and get through ahead of those pesky pedestrians, or turning into them as they cross – creating yet another hazard as they block oncoming lanes in their haste – or literally not even seeing the pedestrians until they’re almost under their wheels. Congestion or not, time-pressed or not, there’s just no excuse for the risks that are being taken.

Seven years later, Kenny hauled out that newspaper clipping to show me, with fresh pride. Cool. A second “what-hey” moment came when I met the mechanic who’d be fixing my car. After a bit, I realized I’d worked with this fellow, Geoff Da Silva, in the 1980s at a business called West Coast Bottling (Bottlers?) in Whalley. Anyway, it was a long time ago. The place was also called Pic-a-Pop. I was like, “Hey, weren’t you into Metallica?” and he was like, “You played guitar, right?” and I was like, “You did Randy Macho Man Savage impressions, right?” and he was like, well, you get the picture. It’s indeed a small world. So that morning, I guess, was not entirely unpleasant considering it started with my car being dead at the side of Highway 10. Still, that part of it really sucked, big time. Tom Zytaruk is a staff writer with the Surrey Now-Leader, sister paper to the Peace Arch News.

Not worth the Fixes needed weed whacker elsewhere, too Editor: I just want to voice my opinion about the city parks operations in White Rock. My complaint specifically is in regards to Rotary Park. Years ago, the park was maintained well. Over the last 10-15 years, the park is in deplorable condition. My specific complaint is that although the park is tough to look at, the city continues to send employees to make noise with their weed whackers and leaf blowers. The noise is not worth what deplorable condition the park is left in. We live here, work hard to pay our taxes and in the summer we would love to enjoy our backyards without this incessant noise and gas fumes. It seems that the people that the city serve have nothing to say. To be heard, you have to yell, scream etc., and this shouldn’t be the way it works. Connie Kuhn, White Rock

Re: $64m school boost ‘just the beginning,’ May 2.

I was glad to hear about the $64-million commitment from the provincial government to allow our school district to begin to catch up with our city’s needs. As Premier John Horgan said, “We have to get ahead of it.” The provincial and municipal governments have to start planning ahead for the next 20 years, not just working to catch up with where we’ve been left after the last 20 years or more. Horgan is right, also, to note as he did that “it’s the province’s responsibility to make sure that traffic infrastructure, schools infrastructure and hospital infrastructure is in place.” I hope he’ll be able to make that happen for Surrey. And there are at least two other areas where the province

needs to step up: child care and post-secondary education. Frank Bucholz’s column about the lack of child-care services highlights the needs in the first of these areas (Community services suffer in city of neglect, May 2), so I’ll say no more about that here. But in postsecondary education, also not mentioned by Horgan, Surrey has been shortchanged for decades: it continues to get only half the funding, per resident, that the rest of B.C. gets. Whereas the rest of B.C.’s regional post-secondaries get funding for 19.8 students per 1,000 residents, Surrey’s post-secondary, Kwantlen Polytechnic University gets funding for only 9.7 students. Dollar-wise, KPU gets only $71 per resident, while the rest of B.C.’s post-secondaries get $157. The funding levels for trades, adult basic education and English-language training are even worse – one-third the levels that the rest of B.C. gets! How can the future live here

when Surrey and White Rock residents can’t get the level of access to post-secondary education and training that the rest of the province is given? Geoff Dean, Surrey

Re: B.C.’s pipeline considerations, April 25 letters.

Shame on the letter writer for politicizing the deaths of 15 Humboldt Bronco players. Garry McIntosh claims that had the truck, which hit the hockey bus, been carrying fossil fuel, everyone would have been killed. Using this irresponsible argument to promote his views on the Kinder Morgan pipeline is just plain wrong. I hope none of the players’ families ever has to read or hear such a thoughtless opinion.

Re: Peacock fans call out… over felled tree, May 4.

We have, until recently, loved living in the Sullivan neighbourhood. The hate for these birds is very sad. We bought our home 12 years ago when there were still forested areas behind the school. The peacocks were here long before this area was developed. They used to have a home here, used to be safe from cars and people driving down 150 Street at speeds over the speed limit. These beautiful birds used to be able to live in peace as the rest of our neighbourhood. Not so any more. Now, our neighbourhood is more violent with shootings and bullet casings found at our elementary school last year. These birds, through no fault of their own, have found themselves in a very bad situation. They were left here to fend for themselves with the help of those who care for them. What happened to kindness for all? If these were dogs or kittens, everyone would be out helping. Yes, they are loud and messy. I know because they roost on my porch, as well. They did not choose to be abandoned. Humans did that. They need help not hate. Lesa Ibarra, Surrey

Vehicle charging stations have popped up in areas of South Surrey, but a letter writer notes they have yet to appear in White Rock.

Focus on our last unplugged city Editor:

Re: Fueling our fear, May 11 editorial.

White Rock is the only Metro Vancouver city without an electric-car charger. When your editorial focuses on how our highest gas prices fueled fear, it should have also confirmed or advocated that the City of White Rock be adding charging stations for electric vehicles. Using electric vehicles will reduce costs for gas and hopefully reduce climate change. Although White Rock has hundreds of parking spots next to the beaches, none of them have charging stations for electric cars. Being friendly with electric cars will attract more visitors while also supporting White Rock buyers of electric cars. The city is building a four-level parking lot (Parkade to be four storeys, $12.5 million, Nov. 17, 2017) but it is not publicly known whether they will include support for electric cars. The same lack is also currently at the underground parking

lot under the White Rock Community Centre. Although there is an acre of BC Hydro electric substation across the street from Peace Arch Hospital, there are no current charging stations at the hospital parking lots. Adding charging stations was not mentioned at all by the online article about the Peace Arch Hospital’s repairing of parking lots at the hospital (Repairs planned for White Rock’s hospital parking lots, May 14). This is much less electric-car support compared to Surrey Memorial Hospital, where seven cars can charge up while parked next to elevators. Currently, just one private business in White Rock has a parking lot with a charging station, but it is for Tesla cars and is underground payparking for the Ocean Promenade Hotel. David Plug, Surrey (Editor’s note: City of White Rock plans to provide seven charging stations at its Waterfront Parkade; Fraser Health plans “at least two” at the hospital.)

‘unprovoked’ says victim Tracy Holmes Staff reporter

A woman who says she was physically assaulted in the parkade of the Grandview Corners Walmart last month says she is determined to see the culprit held accountable. The woman, who asked not to be publicly identified for safety reasons, said the incident occurred around 8 p.m. on April 15, as she was buckling her two young children into the family car after shopping. The man “suddenly came up behind me with verbal abuses then proceeded to pull my hair and rip my jacket when I tried to run away,” the White Rock resident told Peace Arch News by email last week.

Surrey RCMP Const. Elenore Sturko confirmed Friday that police are investigating a report of an assault in the parkade but that police are not appealing for information in the case. Sturko said there have been no arrests, and that there is “nothing to indicate that the public is at any risk as a result of this incident.” The woman described the incident as “unprovoked,” unleashed by a man who had been in front of the family in the store’s checkout line. “His transaction had completed and the Walmart cashier had started scanning our items when he returned to the cashier to complain about his bill then turned to us to complain and

told us to wait,” she writes. “We were just taken aback as we did or said nothing to hurry him. The only thing I sheepishly said when he turned to me to complain about his bill was ‘please don’t talk to us… I don’t know.’” She described it as “a very scary ordeal” that she wants to warn others can happen. “What kind of person does this? Unprovoked?” She described her assailant as a six-foot, middle-aged Caucasian man, with a medium build, white/grey hair and a moustache. He was driving a white Dodge Caravan, she added. Anyone with information may contact police at 604-5997776.

Kevin Bradley Howald pleaded guilty to theft under $5,000

Conditional discharge for purse-snatcher Tracy Holmes Staff reporter

A man who pleaded guilty to what police described last fall as a “cowardly” purse-snatching in White Rock was handed a conditional discharge and 16 months probation for the crime. Kevin Bradley Howald learned his sentence Tuesday in Surrey Provincial Court. Howald, a White Rock resident, was charged with theft under $5,000 after Good Samaritans came to the aid of a 95-year-old woman who was

robbed at around 5:40 p.m. Oct. 11, at the corner of Thrift Avenue and Fir Street. Following the arrest, police told Peace Arch News that at least four individuals had played a role in thwarting the crime; men and women who ranged in age from 33 to 65 years old. “Two different people phoned it in, then two other people… were holding him down,” Const. Chantal Sears said. In a news release issued following the incident, Staff Sgt. Daryl Creighton described the

crime as “particularly disgusting due to the fact that the victim of this purse snatching is 95 years old, walks with a cane and has limited eyesight.” The victim suffered minor injuries to one arm but did not require hospitalization. According to online court records, Howald entered a guilty plea on March 1, and a pre-sentence report was heard on May 1. In addition to the conditional discharge and probation, Howald was ordered to pay a $200 victim surcharge.

City of Surrey’s planning manager says it’s too early to say if $250,000 will be spent on “small modifications” to the main floor reception area of city hall in Whalley. The city is awaiting bids for the work, with a May 23 deadline. According to the request for quotations, the upgrading will involve the demolition and relocation of reception and security desks. “It’s not really renovation, we’re doing some changes to our front counter on the main floor and right now it’s out for tender, so we don’t really mention usually how much, we are expecting that to come,” said Jean Lamontagne, general manager of planning and development. “Basically, we’re making some modification to the front-counter area and we’re adding some, I’ll call it wickets,

where you serve the public, and reception area.” Asked where the $250,000 figure is coming from, Lamontagne told Black Press Media “well that’s, you know, our staff that are planning these improvements. Like we’ve done some improvements on the second floor, in 2016, so, you know, they are basing some of their expected cost because there’s some electrical, there’s some work like you know you have to kind of think that if you are having wickets you have to have like the same type of counters and finishes, right?” Improvements to the second-floor service counter in 2016 cost $107,562, plus tax. Surrey’s new city hall was opened in early 2014, at a sticker price of $97 million, but factoring in interest paid on a 10-year loan, the total bill came to $128 million. “When you move to a new building you plan as much as

Plan a ‘significant departure’ Continued from A1 The city’s official community plan also designates South Campbell Heights as a Special Study Area. A planning process for the area began in 2014 but became the subject of controversy in September 2015 after a proposal to build a truck park on 77 acres adjacent to the fish-rich Little Campbell River was made public. Proponents later withdrew the request, and became involved – along with other stakeholders including representatives of Semiahmoo Fish & Game Club and Friends of Hazelmere Campbell Valley – in the Local Area Planning exercise. According to the city’s application to Metro for the RGS changes, Surrey gave third reading to the South Campbell Heights Local Area Plan official community plan amendments last November. The city then asked Metro to amend the RGS to extend the urban containment boundary, remove the Special Study Area and amend land-use designations to mixed employment, conservation/recreation, gener-

al urban and agricultural from rural and mixed employment. Hoff notes elements of Surrey’s proposed amendment were “generally consistent with Metro 2040 provisions” – for example, the conservation/ recreation designation change would protect 14 hectares of forest south of 16 Avenue that was identified in a consultant’s report as a ‘critical biodiversity region’ “and serve to further buffer the Little Campbell River riparian corridor.” However, redesignating 143 hectares of land to general urban from rural “would be inconsistent with the provisions of Metro 2040,” he writes. “Surrey has been a regional leader in creating comprehensively planned complete urban neighbourhoods. The proposed amendment would be a significant departure from what has been the City’s established practice and may trigger similar isolated urban residential development pressures in the proximate Rural and Agricultural areas in this area, and in the adjacent Township of Langley.” Hoff suggests Surrey consider

you can how work is going to flow from the residents to staff and then you study that to make sure that over time you are set up the best way possible and for us to continue to serve the public better it just makes sense to make some small modifications, so it’s nothing major,” Lamontagne said. He noted the two counters that get the most visits are on the main and second floors. “On the second floor, we serve about 60,000 clients every year, so you think of it that it’s a little bit of wear and tear, you want to keep it up. (The first floor) is… probably north of 60,000.” Lamontagne said it would be “far-fetched” at this point to say the city is spending $250,000 on the project, “because we haven’t received a tender. Money hasn’t been spent yet, if you will. “We’ve set some money aside, but would it be that? I don’t know. We always try to get the best value for taxpayers.”

altering the request to extend the UCB and general urban designation south to 16 Avenue. Surrey needs Metro support to make a final decision on its OCP amendment bylaw. Semiahmoo Fish & Game Club president Bob Donnelly – who had asked that Metro either reject the application or return it to the city “for further consideration including meetings with the community with the aim of protecting the Little Campbell River” – described the committee’s May 4 recommendation as “good news.” “Hopefully, after a seven-year campaign to protect the river and the associated forests, the community may be closer to a resolution,” Donnelly told Peace Arch News Friday. In a follow-up email to PAN Wednesday, Donnelly acknowledged concerns remain. “While it is inconceivable that the board would overrule the unanimous recommendation of the Regional Planning Committee, there has always been strong support within council to push development into the Hazelmere Valley south of 16th Avenue.” CRAFTY CREATIONS IS NOW

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Scanning the books of government to businesses, South Surrey’s Simon Padgett has made a living catching bad guys

Uncovering fraud across the globe Aaron Hinks Staff reporter

raud investigator Simon Padgett recalls poring over financial documents of an African company, in search of peculiar transactions, when he heard a distinguishable sound behind him. “Click, click.” A high-ranking military official, the owner of the business, was standing behind Padgett, and had a gun pointed at his head. “They escorted myself and my team, by tank, to the airport,” Padgett said, adding they were flown out of the country on a government airplane. Within 24 hours, the business was shut down. It’s one of several stories Padgett shared with Peace Arch News Wednesday, after spending more than 20 years as an international forensics fraud investigator. Originally from the U.K., Padgett has lived in the Caribbean, South Africa and Abu Dhabi, and has worked in more than 40 countries. In the past few months alone, he’s worked in China, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, London and Dubai. For the past three years, however, he has called South Surrey his home. A chartered accountant since 1990, Padgett said he quickly got bored of “mundane auditing,” and moved to forensic accounting. After years of working as an investigator for several companies, Padgett started his own business, Forensicintegrity (forensicintegrity.com). Companies call Padgett when they suspect fraud or corruption, or they require fraud risk-management training. Due to non-disclosure agreements, Padgett would not share the names of companies – nor specify governments – he’s worked for over the years. “I can’t really tell you details, but I’ve done work for many governments, and maybe for Canadian governments as well,” he said. Most of Padgett’s clients, he said, are based overseas. “In terms of fraud and corruption work, there isn’t a massive amount of it (in Canada),” he said. “You have the Canadian culture, which is one of reasonably high levels of integrity, one that follows the rules.” Padgett said 85 per cent of fraud is committed by an employee in a trusted position. He noted there’s a number of ways an employee can defraud a company, but in most cases money is stolen from either the revenue stream coming in or as the money goes out. That can be accomplished by misleading information, forgery or counterfeiting documents, overcharging or duplicating

Praneet Arora, 13, of Newton, wins national title

Navigating the Future... Together

Teen wins spelling bee Tom Zytaruk Black Press Media

Surrey teen Praneet Singh Arora has won the Spelling Bee of Canada National Championship, intermediate level. The competition was held in Toronto on May 6. Praneet, age 13, of Newton, competed in the category for children ages 12 to 14. “He’s been participating for the last two or three years,” his dad Jagjot Arora told Black Press Media. “He’s good at memorizing things. He participated last year, he was first in B.C., and then went to Ottawa and came in third in Canada, and this year he was first in B.C. and so he qualified for the nationals, and he was first there also.” Praneet attends Tamanawis Secondary, after transferring from Khalsa School. The spelling whiz, who lists reading among his hobbies, was not available for an interview because he was in class. His winning words were “ostracod” (a tiny crustacean) and “disreputable” (not respectable in appearance or

Barbecue set Semiahmoo Fish & Game Club members are gearing up for one of the organization’s most popular traditions.

This year marks a milestone for the event, club president Bob Donnelly noted in an email to Peace

Arch News. The club’s first salmon barbecue was held on the grounds of a local farm in 1958 – 20 years before the land on the banks of the Little Campbell River was purchased. The Father’s Day barbecue typically draws hundreds of people to the property. In addition to salmon, hamburgers, hotdogs and cold drinks will be available for purchase. – Tracy Holmes

Restaurant chain – including sites in South Surrey and White Rock – moves to straws-by-request policy

White Spot restaurants aiming for last straw As well, they have not – yet – been removed from the establishment’s thicker drinks such as milkshakes, nor from the drinks that are part of the popular children’s Pirate Pak. Paper straws as an alternative are being sourced, he added. Dorchester said removing straws wasn’t the chain’s first environmentally conscious step – all seafood served at the restaurant, with the exception of calamari, is oceanwise, and all of the restaurant’s take-out packaging is now compostable. He described making the move away from plastic – or any other step to do better for the environment, whether in business or at home – as “not that difficult.” “It’s changing habits,” he said. “In 10 years, we won’t think anything of it.” Going strawless isn’t a challenge Dorchester has officially made to other establishments operating on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, nut he is hopeful White Spot’s efforts will inspire. “We would hope by taking this step, others will follow suit.”

Tracy Holmes Staff reporter

A gesture to all-but-eliminate drinking straws from beverages being served at White Spot restaurants may seem small when it comes to taking steps for the environment, but Guy Dorchester says potential for it to make a significant impact is huge. Dorchester, who oversees the chain’s two South Surrey locations, as well as sites in Langley, Abbotsford and Squamish, said the effort – launched company-wide a month ago – means four million straws will not end up in the environment. “Everybody seems to be pretty much on-board,” Dorchester told Peace Arch News of customers’ reaction. “When everybody understands why we’re doing it, it’s hard not to get behind.” Tackling the reduction or elimination of such singleuse items is a focus for Metro Vancouver, where an effort to come up with a regional single-use-item reduction strategy is underway, with a particular focus on Styrofoam, plastic bags and disposable

Question:

My widowed uncle was very tight-ﬁsted, so he died with a lot more money than anybody thought. He was childless. He did his own Will in which he divided his estate into four equal parts, and gave 25% to each of us three nieces. He directed that the remaining 25% was to be held in trust for his nephew and doled out by the executor as she felt necessary. There was no clause which stated what happened to whatever was left over when the nephew died. The nephew (our cousin) was known by all to be an incorrigible spendthrift, and my uncle had commented that he didn’t want his estate to be wasted on a wayward lifestyle, Lamborginis, exotic vacations and the like. Now the nephew has applied to Court to compel the payment of the whole 25% to him immediately. Can he do this? Our uncle must be twirling in his grave.

Answer: Yes. The nephew will succeed in thwarting

your uncle’s intentions because your uncle didn’t spell out what happened to the 25% if the nephew died before the trust fund was exhausted. NEW CLIENTS WELCOME

Decluttering. Start With One Room! SPRING 2018 PRODUCTS ❱❱ QUALIFIED TRADES ❱❱ EXPERT ADVICE ❱❱

By Nicolle Hodges

There are a few ways to do this:

Have you ever thought: “I wish I had more hours in a day?” usually while staring at the tasks left behind on your to-do list. Do not pass go. Do not collect satisfaction. That thought has a surprising antidote: decluttering. “It gives you more time, which is of the utmost importance,” says Kati Moore, owner and designer of Uniform - a shop for minimalist, handmade, natural fibre clothing for women. Before going any further, let’s address what constitutes a cluttered house and how to tell if you’ve passed the tipping point from eclectic to chaotic. In its most basic form, clutter is anything that causes you stress by its very existence in your space because it’s broken, out of place, stirs up negative emotions, is unnecessary, unwanted, gets in the way, or belongs to someone else. From a psychological standpoint, clutter is the physical manifestation of a delayed decision that causes emotional backlog and tips the home from a sanctuary to a storage unit so you’re holding your breath -- instead of taking one -- every time you walk through the door. The decluttering process can feel overwhelming when you’re looking at the house as a whole. Instead, Moore suggests starting with the closet and something called a “capsule wardrobe.” “Cleaning up and focusing your wardrobe can really give you a better understanding of your true style and identity,” she says. “We wear clothes every day, so by paying more attention to our decision making in that area, other areas will naturally follow suit.”

Turn every hanger in the closet the same direction. Once you wear something and put it away, turn the hanger the other direction. After a month, store or donate everything that you haven’t reached for. Do a closet purge over the course of a few months by pulling out each piece and considering the quality of the garment (holes, snags, fading, and other signs of wear) and how it makes you feel. “Don’t get me wrong, I don’t recommend throwing everything away unnecessarily!” she says. “Sell, donate, or repurpose, and just be more considerate going forward about what you allow into your abode.” Co-founder of Feather and Mane, Carla Thiessen agrees. She runs monthly events and webinars on ethical fashion, purposeful parenting, and minimalism, to name a few, and has integrated the “less is more” lifestyle into her business and family life. “The tipping point is when you find yourself cleaning up more than enjoying the items,” she says. “If I don’t find joy in the item, and I know no one else is attached to it, then we don’t keep it.” She acknowledges that decluttering with kids can be a challenge, especially if they struggle with items being taken away. For that she suggests having a bin, putting the items in the bin and avoiding seeing or speaking about them for a week, and then removing the bin from the home unnoticed once the kids have forgotten about the whole situation. On keeping a house immaculate with kids

around, Thiessen says that right this instant there are likely fishy crackers wedged in the couch cushion; a reality deserving of a shoulder shrug and “it is what it is” attitude. “Clutter and useless items are more stressful and time-consuming than a few markings on the walls and a well-loved couch,” she says. “There’s a quote from Marie Kondo that goes: ‘The space in which we live should be for the person we are becoming now, not for the person we were in the past.’ That’s Julia Tyrrell’s favourite quote, and one she lives by wholeheartedly as an interior designer for general contracting and renovation company, Tyrrell Projects Inc. “Your house should be a home that reflects you and everything you love in this world. You should fill it with memories of trips, family heirlooms, and items that bring you joy,” she says. “You don’t cook food you know you don’t like, or wear clothing that is uncomfortable – so why hold onto things that don’t bring you happiness anymore? Her best advice? Start with one room. “Whether it’s your closet or a cupboard in your kitchen, take everything out, go through each piece, and only put back the things you are 100% sure you want to keep.”

There is no currency more precious than time, and decluttering ensures you have more to spend on the things you love; not to mention clearing up some mental space in the process. “People are starting to realize that if you quiet the noise, live with less, and be a little more thoughtful, the benefits are instant and almost immeasurable,” says Kati Moore. “It’s an incredibly simple -- and free! -- solution. I have yet to meet a minimalist who says they preferred life with more stuff.”

Home & Garden Low-maintenance perennials for the Pacific Northwest

From Canadian, custom made sofas to unique dinning tables, to vintage lamps and much, much more, you will find everything here to make your home a dream space!

Want to surround your home with an enchanting landscape, but don’t have much time for garden maintenance? The following easy-growing perennials look fantastic, require little effort on your part, and are well suited for the temperate, damp conditions of the Pacific Northwest.

Plant them in full sun and well-drained soil. Lupines are also available in a wide range of colours, from pink to orange to purple. These tall, upright flowers prefer slightly acidic soil and grow best in full sun or partial shade.

CREATE TEXTURE The rich, deep green foliage of the sword fern stays beautiful all year long. This low-maintenance perennial thrives in rich, well-drained soil and full shade. Another option for adding texture to your landscape is wild ginger, a fragrant shade plant that features gorgeous, glossy evergreen leaves.

ATTRACT POLLINATORS The crisp, white flowers of the Shasta daisy will have butterflies flocking to your garden all summer long. Plant daisies in well-drained soil, either in full sun or partial shade. Hummingbirds love the eye-catching cardinal flower, which grows to be around three feet tall and blooms bright red in the late summer. It tolerates both sun and shade. Keep soil moist, but don’t over water.

ADD COLOUR Dahlias come in countless colours and textures, and they’re all ideal for a low-maintenance Northwest garden.

To find out more about gardening with perennials in the Pacific Northwest, visit your local gardening centre or plant nursery.

Add life to your garden with birdhouses Are you a fan of gardening and birdwatching? Then why not combine your two hobbies by incorporating birdhouses into your landscaping? Here are a few tips for creating a garden filled with colourful blooms and the chirps of winged creatures all summer long. SPECIES TO CHARM First off, determine which types of bird you’d like to attract. To avoid disappointment, find out which birds typically frequent your area. Next, go get some quality birdhouses from your local gardening centre or hardware store. Ask a salesperson to help you choose the best models for the types of bird you’re looking to attract. You’ll need to consider the size of the entrance and the available nesting space inside of the birdhouse.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR Choose birdhouses with the following features: • Mould-resistant materials (cedar wood is an excellent choice) • A design that allows optimal ventilation and drainage • A roof that juts out a few centimetres over the entrance • A door that allows easy access to the inside for cleaning • A look that’s harmonious with the rest of your landscaping

If you’re handy and would like to make your own birdhouses, you can find tons of step-by-step guides online and in bookstores. Grab your tools and get building!

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Operetta runs until Saturday

Iolanthe on stage

You may have to travel further than usual to catch the latest from FVGSS – the satirical operetta Iolanthe; or The Peer and the Peri. But the major spring show for the organization – which continues tonight (May 18) and Saturday at New Westminster’s Anvil Centre (777 Columbia St.) – very much qualifies as local, featuring many performers and creative personnel drawn from White Rock and Surrey. Iolanthe tells the story of the title character (played by Chantelle Dewar), a fairy who was banished from her realm for falling in love with a mortal. Co-produced by FVGSS veteran Lynne Verra-Lay, and directed by Jacqollyne Keath, Iolanthe features music direction by John Arsenault and choreography by Tamara Jaune. For tickets, visit FVGSS.org/ iolanthe or call 604-521-5050. – Alex Browne

Jazz concert celebrates ‘the polarities of life’ Alex Browne Staff reporter

There’s a rightness to the fact that internationally noted jazz bassist Jodi Proznick is coming home to the Semiahmoo Peninsula – where she was raised – for a concert next week that includes music from her new, and very personal, CD Sun Songs.

Strawberry Tea concert offers something for almost every musical taste

Orchestra aims for variety Alex Browne Staff reporter

White Rock Community Orchestra, under the leadership of maestra Paula DeWit, is continuing its emphasis on even greater variety. Latest undertaking of the organization, now in its 45th year – the annual Strawberry Tea Concert – takes place on May 26 at 7 p.m. at St. John’s Presbyterian Church, 1480 George St. And like others concerts since DeWit – also co-founder and director of the Chilliwack Symphony, was appointed in 2016, it seeks to broaden the appeal of the more than 30-member volunteer orchestral ensemble to include not only the expected classical selections – but also show tunes, movie themes and popular songs from various eras and idioms. Greatest departure from the usual format this year will be youth dancers from the xBa School of Dance – Maddie Lehman, Kiyomi McCue, Charlotte Kalutycz, Amelia Ciriani and Yarra Tsiakos to interpret selections from Edvard Grieg’s Peer Gynt

Album ‘well received’ Continued from A25 “Heather is so entertaining – she’s funny and charming and there’s a lot of humourous byplay between songs. She’s very endearing and fun.” But, as Proznick noted, Bambrick’s recent CD is partly a meditation on loss, dedicated to an aunt who passed away. There’s also a bittersweet side to her own Sun Songs – which she describes as a series letters on the varied experiences of life, written to Tristan, her son with Webb, who is now 10 years old. It was when she was pregnant with him that her mother Pat – a strong music supporter and former co-ordinator of such events as the In Harmony Music Festival at the former Camp Kwomais – was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at the age of 57, beginning a decline that still continues. “We had just finished our album Foundation, which received a Juno nomination, and done a big Canadian tour when Tilden and I decided to try to start a family. I’d always imagined that mom – who was such a firecracker – would be right in there to support and participate in the raising of our child. “When that was taken off the table, I was mourning and grieving lot, but at the same

time I had this terrific little child who was so delightful in every way.” The songs initially took a pop form, influenced by the work of some of Proznick’s favourite composers, among them Peter Gabriel, Jane Siberry, Paul Simon, Randy Newman and Joni Mitchell. It was when she had the opportunity to work with singer Laila Biali that she was prompted to rework some of her songs in a jazz idiom. “They’re these stories about birth and death and all the polarities – and how to navigate sorrow,” Proznick said. “As my mom would always say to me – ‘there’s always a pony in a pile of s–… find the pony, Jodi,” she recalled with a chuckle. “When you go to really vulnerable places, it’s very hard to share, but the album has been very well received and it’s had incredible comments and responses. “Hopefully, it gives other people permission to grieve and put that into their own art, whether that’s gardening or singing or painting, or whatever it happens to be.” The venue is located at 1328 Johnston Rd.

A ‘Beat the Line’ pass is $50 for weekend rodeo

Bands set for weekend at Longhorn saloon Tom Zillich Black Press Media

The Longhorn bar has a reputation for some hell-raisin’ whenever the Cloverdale Rodeo hits the fairgrounds, but it was a slightly different story in 2017, according to the man who oversees operations. “Last year we didn’t have any fights in the Longhorn, so that was a good thing for us, and we sold more food than beer, overall,” rodeo GM Mike MacSorley told Black Press Media. “That was one of my goals when I got here, which was to change the attitude and the perception of the rodeo – that it’s not just a place to come and get loaded, it’s a place where families can come and enjoy. “So part of that is selling more food than beer last year, and no fights. Those are two things that are really important to me as the general manager — even more important than what our bottom line is, because if we do that, we will be sustainable, and make this bigger and better in the long run.” This weekend, the “World Famous” Longhorn, a big bar at the red-painted Agriplex, will feature two bands – Ken McCoy Band and Ettinger & Big 50 – on a rotating schedule on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, with Chris Buck Band there for one night only (Sunday, 10:15 p.m. start).

Former Surrey Eagles reflect on 20-year anniversary of RBC Cup

‘It seems like it was yesterday’ Nick Greenizan Staff reporter

ust a few months removed from a heartbreaking loss in the championship game of the 1997 Royal Bank Cup, the South Surrey Eagles entered the next season as something of a wild card. They had just seven returning players from the previous year’s team and were without not only their former head coach, Rick Lanz, who had left to join the staff of the Western Hockey League’s Tri-City Americans, but also their entire first line, which the year prior has arguably been the best in the entire country, as Shane Kuss, Scott Gomez and Rodney Bowers combined for an astounding 377 points. Their new coach was former Lanz assistant Mark Holick, and the team’s roster, according to captain Kris Wilson, “was basically just a band of gypsies.” Though lacking in star power with the departure of Gomez, who followed Lanz to the WHL, and Kuss and Bowers, who aged out of the league, the team still featured a strong contingent of forwards. There was Wilson – or “Freight Train Willy” as former owner Cliff Annable still calls him – as well as Mike Bishai, Lyle Steenburgen, Brian Herbert and John McNabb, who joined the team from the WHL. The team’s defence was also impressive, led by Czech import Jakub Ficenec, a 1997-holdover who scored 91 points in 55 games, Joe Vandermeer and Aaron Schneekloth. This week marks the 20th anniversary’s of that team’s crowning achievement – a Royal Bank Cup national championship win, which came in Nanaimo on May

And though Holick, who had assistant coach John Short with him on the bench that year, called the group “incredibly tight-knit,” no one outside of the team likely would have batted an eye had the defending BC Hockey League champs finished the 1997/98 season as a middleof-the-pack team, maybe making the playoffs, maybe winning a round or two. Instead, the Eagles – who a few years later would drop the ‘South’ from their name – finished as the best team in the entire country, capturing the elusive trophy that had slipped from their grasp the season before in P.E.I., when they lost the final 4-3 to the Summerside Capitals. “They were very confident, very close… it was a special group,” Holick said. This year’s RBC Cup is also back on B.C. soil and is currently being held in Chilliwack. It wraps up Sunday. And though two decades have passed since the final buzzer of a 4-1 victory over the Weyburn Red Wings, that ‘98

Eagles team still holds a special place in the hearts of those who were a part of it. “It seems like it was yesterday sometimes,” said Wilson, a Seattle-area resident who captained that year’s team and ended up playing four years with the Birds. “There’s just so many memories I have with that team – and especially that year, because of that success we had that season, and really, weren’t supposed to have, I guess… in the preseason polls, I want to say we were ranked like third in our own division. “On our part, we felt that was kind of a slight.” In the BCJHL regular season, the Eagles weren’t able to quite match the win-loss record of the high-powered 1996/97 squad, winning 43 games and losing 15, compared to the 47-win, seven-loss record the season before, but they picked up their play in the playoffs, rolling through their own league with what, to Holick’s recollection, was a 12-1 win-loss playoff record. They defeated

the Penticton Panthers in the league final. The team had to play an extra playoff round that year – against the Cranbrook Colts of the now-defunct Rocky Mountain Junior Hockey League – just to be crowned provincial champs. And though the Rocky Mountain loop was thought at the time to be a step below BCJHL competition – which proved true, as the Birds won with relative ease – that series with the Colts was a memorable one for those involved. “I remember that rink – we had to walk through the crowd to get to our dressing room, and that wasn’t much fun when you’re the visiting team,” laughed Bishai, an Alberta native who scored 100 points in 57 games for the Eagles that season, and went on to a long pro career that wrapped up in 2013. After dispatching Cranbrook, the Eagles went north to the Edmontonarea to square off against the Albertachampion St. Albert Saints, who were led by future NHLer Mike Comrie. Continued on A30

Skaters from across the world to compete for $10,000 in prizes

World-renowned skaters return to Cloverdale Rodeo Samantha Anderson Black Press Media

The World Freestyle RoundUp is returning for a seventh time at the Cloverdale country fair this weekend, rounding up the world’s best professional and amateur freestyle skateboarders for four days of trick contests, demonstrations and battle-style competition. From Friday until Monday,

the World Round-Up will transform the Cloverdale Curling Rink on the Cloverdale Fairgrounds into a skateboarding arena, featuring a flawless 50-foot by 110-foot concrete floor — perfect for freestyle skateboarding. More than 50 skaters from 14 different countries, including Switzerland, Hungary and Brazil, will be competing for

$10,000 in prize money. Organizer Monty Little said that performances from some of the younger competitors, including Yuzuki Kawasaki, 9, Ikkei Nagao, 12, and Yuta Fujii, 12, just “blew the crowd away last year.” Another one to watch is Mirei Tsuchida, the sole female competitor, who is a “phenomenal skater” and “all-

round competitor,” said Little. Canada will also have strong representation in the four-day competition. White Rock’s Andy Anderson, who is billed as a “household name in the Lower Mainland’s skateboarding community,” will return after placing fourth in the pro division last year. And Ryan Brynelson, a professional rider from Delta,

will return for his sixth World Round-Up competition. Spectators can watch the qualifiers on Friday, May 18, the semi-finals on Saturday, May 19, and the finals on Sunday, May 20. Although the main competition comes to the end Sunday, the fun continues on Monday, with several trick contests planned.

in 2015 and included, after obtaining dual-citizenship, a spot on Germany’s Olympic team that played in Vancouver in 2010; Vandermeer played pro, as did Herbert, Schneekloth and a host of others. Schneekloth has since got into coaching, and is currently the head coach of the ECHL’s Colorado Eagles. The team’s enforcer, Jeff Nabseth, sadly passed away in 1999 after being hit by a vehicle while cycling on Vancouver Island. Annable, who has no shortage of stories about any of his former players, called ‘Nabber’ one of the toughest people he ever met – on or off the ice. Wilson, meanwhile, went on to play four years of NCAA Div. 3 hockey at University of Wisconsin-Superior. He credits his playing career – and in many ways, the life he’s made since – to the success of that 1998 team. “I went from a seldom-used player who only played 40 games a year and (they) gave me an opportunity to play…

and I got an opportunity to further my education, I got a small role in the movie, Miracle – it really changed my entire life,” he explained. “It’s the same for the other guys – the skill that they had brought them to those places, but I really believe a lot of it had to do with that team and what we accomplished.” Holick, too, parlayed that national title run into a long, successful coaching career that’s taken him everywhere from Prince George to Italy. He has now moved back to South Surrey and is involved with the Yale Hockey Academy. He called Annable “one of the best people I’ve ever worked for.” Annable, too, has nothing but good memories of his former coach. In particular, two conversations stick out. The first came over coffee in Blaine, Wash. shortly after Lanz had announced he was leaving for the WHL. Annable had been inundated with job applications, he explained, but when Holick asked who was going to coach the team, his reply was quick. “You are.” “I took a little bit of ribbing for that… a lot of people said, ‘Mark Holick? What does he know about hockey?” Annable recalled, adding that Holick had been working as a car salesman while also serving as an assistant coach under Lanz. “Then there we are a year later, on Mother’s Day, after winning 4-1, and we’re shaking hands with the team from Weyburn and I said to Mark, ‘I guess we showed them, didn’t we?’”

These applications are at the Public Hearing stage, which is a critical time for public input.

White Rock loses four games to Athletics on weekend

Tritons stumble on Okanagan road trip Nick Greenizan Staff reporter

A weekend trip to Kelowna did not go as planned for the White Rock Tritons, as the BC Premier Baseball League team dropped all four games they played against the Okanagan Athletics. The two under-18 rivals squared off twice on Saturday, with the hometown A’s winning two close ones – 4-3, followed by a 6-3 game – and Sunday was much the same, with the Okanagan squad winning the first game of the doubleheader 5-1 and the nightcap 16-1. Prior to the trip, the Tritons were hovering just under the .500 mark – firmly planted in the middle of the BCPBL standings – but the four losses, as well as a 6-5 defeat to the Langley Blaze last Tuesday night, dropped White Rock to a 5-10 win-loss record. They sit 11th in the 13-team league. In the first game Saturday, the Athletics jumped out to an early lead – scoring one run in the first inning and two more in the second. The White Rock bats warmed up late in the contest, however, as the visitors scored single runs in the fifth, six and seventh frames to tie the game 3-3. In the bottom of the seventh, Okanagan batter Luigi Russo hit a walk-off double that scored teammate Jaden Parson and ended the game.

Like the opener, Game 2 was also

Okanagan regained the lead over the next two innings, with single runs in each, before extending the lead after a two-run fifth frame and another single run in the sixth. Manby’s homer aside, White Rock managed just seven hits throughout the game, and were largely stymied by A’s pitcher Carter Morris, who struck out nine batters in just five innings en route to earning the win. Terrell Rogers, Jacob Hart and Connor Schneider combined to pitch for White Rock. In Sunday’s 6-1 loss, Bryerton led the Tritons’ offence with a pair of doubles, and Manby was credited with the team’s lone RBI. Cameron Dunn was tagged with the loss on the mound. There was, unfortunately for the weary travellers, even less good news to report in the second game, and the home team had a 5-0 lead after three innings, then put the nail in the Tritons’ coffin thanks to a 14-batter, 11-run fifth inning that ended the game courtesy of the mercy rule. White Rock will aim to right the ship Saturday when they head to North Vancouver’s Parkgate for a doubleheader against the North Shore Twins. On Sunday, they’ll return home to host the Victoria Eagles for two games at South Surrey Athletic Park.

Hallman (nee McAlister) Bernice Josephine 1933 – 2018 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Bernice passed unexpectedly at Peace Arch Hospital on April 17, 2018, with family by her side. Bernice is survived by daughter Judy (Melvin), son Craig (Charlene), granddaughter Christina (Arlo), granddaughter Nicole (Sean), great grandson Keaton as well as her younger sister Jeannette (Richard).

Susan Marie Leslie February 5, 1952– May 7, 2018

Susan Marie Leslie (nee Bedard), age 66, of South Surrey, passed away Monday, May 7, 2018 at the Irene Thomas Hospice Residence in Delta, BC, after a long fight with cancer. She was born February 5, 1952 in Vancouver, BC, raised by her mother Phyllis and “Woodsy”. Sue will be greatly missed by her husband Daniel, her brother Harry Bedard (Irene), and her three sons Matthew, Michael (Elli) and Cameron (Nicole). Growing up Sue spent summers at Crescent Beach where, as she and her mom put it, “the water is always warm”. In 1981 Sue and Dan bought acreage in South Surrey. As a result, their family and friends would develop an affinity for country living. Countless students had the pleasure of learning from her during her rich career as a math teacher at Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School. Sue was a community activist in her neighborhood, playing a crucial role in saving the historic Kensington Prairie Elementary School from demolition. She was a lover of all animals and an active participant in the dog sport community. Many spectators at the PNE will remember seeing her and her beloved companion Trooper performing with SuperDogs. Please join the family for Sue’s Celebration of Life at Valley View Funeral Home & Cemetery (14660 – 72nd Ave, Surrey, BC) on Sunday, May 27, 2018. Service starts at 2:00 pm followed by a reception at 3:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations to the BCSPCA are appreciated.

McBean, Margaret Irene (Seed) Following an exciting, happy and fulfilling life, Irene, beloved and loving wife of Frederick George McBean, quietly slipped into the world beyond on May 10, 2018. Proud and devoted Mother of four sons and Mother-by-marriage to their wives James and Patricia of Scarborough, Ont., John and Sharon of Edmonton, Jeff and Janet of White Rock, N.S., and Jordan and Carla of Calgary. Cherished Nana to grandchildren Samantha (Kate), Amanda (Nick), Sean (Catherine), Scott (Katie), Paul (Alana), Cory and Ben. Devoted Margeaux to her five great-grandchildren Briar, Sawyer, Adelyn, Spencer and Felix. Irene was the oldest child and only daughter of Margaret (Burgess) and James Seed of Winnipeg and Toronto. Irene was the consummate homemaker, delighting in everything to do with presenting a warm and inviting home atmosphere, being a lover of cooking and baking and entertaining as well as the “old fashioned” arts of sewing, knitting, crossword puzzles and writing letters. Irene loved old things, old friends, old books, old places and old furniture, and especially her collection of antique jewelry, which she wore with elegant dignity and elan. She enjoyed her bridge games with good friends and loved to travel. She and Fred felt blessed to have been able to visit and explore many varied and exotic parts of the world since their retirement to White Rock B.C. in 1987. But most of all, Irene loved “her boys”. Nothing gave her more pleasure than to be with family members, singly or in groups; her boys, their wives, the grandchildren and great-grandchildren all were her pride and joy. She was predeceased by her husband Fred in 2011, her parents, and two brothers John and Robert. Irene’s family wishes to express their appreciation and love for her friends and staff at Touchmark at Wedgewood over the last six years and the doctors and nurses at the Misceracordia Hospital for their care and compassion over the last few weeks. There will be a Remembrance Tea held at Touchmark at Wedgewood on Saturday June 9, 11:00am to 2:00pm. Although Irene loved flowers, her wish was that donations be made to the Cancer Society for Leukemia Research. Written tributes can be made to www. dignitymemorial.ca. If I should die and leave you here a while. Be not like others, sore undone, who keep Long vigils by the silent dust, and weep. For my sake - turn again to life and smile Nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do Something to comfort other hearts than thine. Complete those dear, unfinished tasks of mine And I, perchance, may therein comfort you -Mary Lee Hall
