White Rock tragedy claimed life of Marilyn Laursen last May

Hit-and-run driver remorseful: lawyer Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

In a brief appearance in Surrey Provincial Court this week, Kyle Brandon Danyliuk took responsibility for the May 2011 hitand-run death of White Rock resident Marilyn Laursen. Danyliuk – who was arrested two months

later – pleaded guilty Wednesday afternoon to: dangerous driving causing death in the case of Laursen; dangerous driving causing bodily harm, in connection with a second victim who was injured in the same incident; and two counts of failure to stop at an accident scene causing death or bodily harm, with the intent to escape civil or criminal liability.

Hands grasped behind his back, Danyliuk, a slim, clean-shaven 20-year-old with closecropped dark hair, said “guilty” four times, after each charge was read. The plea made before Judge Michael Hicks is an admission that Danyliuk was behind the wheel of the car that struck and killed Laursen, 56, as she walked across Johnston

Road at Thrift Avenue on May 18. Surviving victim Solmaz Pourmohammmadbhagerna was in a vehicle not directly involved in the fatal crash. Outside court, Danyliuk – escorted at his request by a court sheriff – declined comment as he left with a woman and their young son. � see page A4

Guides help orphans

City program drops by

Residents keep an eye out for crime

Fashion sense Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Ugandan orphans who call Abetavu Children’s Village home are sporting new fashions these days, following a concerted effort by Peninsula Girl Guides to make a difference. Nearly two dozen colourful dresses were distributed last month to youngsters under the care of Coquitlam native Carli Travers. They were sewn over a two-week period by parents of 1st Kla How Ya Guides, using fabric donated by Laura’s Fashion Fabrics in White Rock and Surrey’s Wineberry Fabrics. “The dresses are amazing,” Travers said by email from Uganda Monday. “Our girls all felt like princesses.” The Guides hosted Travers and her husband, Robert Birungi, at the South Surrey home of Susan Richards de Wit on Dec. 5. Travers has lived in Uganda and taken in street children there since 2007. She and Birungi are currently ‘parents’ to 14 Ugandan children and three of their own. Their visit here was a highlight of the Guides’ work on an international community service project, and included a chance to hear from Travers herself all about the work she and Birungi are undertaking in an effort to change lives of young Ugandans. Among other things, they learned it’s not uncommon for

girls their ages (9-12) to work all day with an infant on their backs – news they were “so surprised” by, Richards de Wit said. The Dec. 5 event included a sale of Ugandan crafts. In just two hours, the Guides raised $1,800, all of which will benefit the children’s village. In addition to baking, marketing and hosting, the Guides collected school supplies and gently used clothing for Travers and Birungi to take back to Uganda.

At 67 members, a City of Surrey program that fights crime in multiunit rental housing has now grown too big to hold its regular monthly meeting at RCMP headquarters. Which is why, on Tuesday, the Crime Free Multi-Housing Program meeting was held in the spacious amenities room of the Sunnyside Villas seniors’ housing complex at 151 Street and 26 Avenue. It marked the first time the participants have met in one of the building complexes participating in the crime-reduction program that launched in Surrey in 2004. Sunnyside building manager Joanne Menzies said the plan is to rotate the regular meeting among the members in the future. Sunnyside Villas joined the program two years ago. Menzies said the biggest physical change to the nine-acre site for security was landscaping, with greenery getting trimmed to eliminate potential places of concealment. Attitudes changed, too. Because the housing is in a quiet, relatively low-crime area, Menzies said some residents had become too nonchalant. “They left the front door open all the time,” Menzies recalled. “It was ridiculous.” � see page A4

by this inequitable policy, and the results in the pending Chilliwack-Hope byelection may prove to Clark that Fraser Valley voters don’t believe in being treated unfairly. It is doubly surprising when considering how much political hay the BC Liberals made out of NDP opposition to the Port Mann Bridge project. The NDP was quite rightly pilloried for some of its MLAs, including then-leader Carole James, saying that there was no need for improvements to the highway and the bridge. Clark was seen as the potential saviour of the sliding BC Liberals when she became party leader last spring, edging out Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Kevin Falcon on the final ballot. Her reviews of many Campbell policies are designed to show that she wants to do things differently. Why is she being so stubborn on this policy? The premier needs to take a page from legendary B.C. premier W.A.C. Bennett and take a “sober second look” at a policy that, as it is written, punishes people based on where they live. She needs to remember that many Surrey residents have no alternative to driving, due to inadequate transit service. They already pay additional gas tax because of that necessity. Such second looks allowed Bennett to stay in power for 20 years. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

‘Scab’ accusations as service levels maintained in Surrey, Vancouver, Victoria

Legal-aid lawyers split over job action Jeff Nagel Black Press

An angry rift has developed between legalaid lawyers who are staging an escalating strike to press the government for more funding and those who have opted to continue serving low-income clients. Some in the usually staid and amicable legal profession have even taken to calling colleagues “scabs” for refusing to join the job action. “I’ve certainly heard people saying it,” said Bentley Doyle, spokesman for the Trial Lawyers Association of B.C. “Some people are very upset.” The term isn’t accurate, Doyle said, because participating lawyers aren’t a true union. The aim, he said, should be to welcome

more converts to intensify pressure on the province to provide more money for the underfunded legal-aid system. “This is not about inflaming things,” Doyle said. “We want to attract more people to the cause.” Participating legal-aid lawyers are refusing to represent new adults arrested on criminal charges who cannot afford their own lawyer. They withheld service for one week in January and the first two weeks of February. The strike ramps up to three weeks in March and then all of April. Doyle said there are hundreds of lawyers across B.C. supporting the strike and roughly 50 continuing to provide service. Four lawyers at the Surrey courthouse continue to provide legal aid, as well as three

in North Vancouver, two in Port Coquitlam and a couple in Richmond, Doyle said. Vancouver courts also have three legal-aid lawyers still working, but they can’t represent all the clients seeking help there. “North Vancouver and Surrey are areas where we’re not strong,” he said. “But we’re very strong in Vancouver and the Interior and up north.” Doyle said New Westminster and Chilliwack courts are under a full withdrawal of local legal-aid lawyers on designated weeks. He said the job action began with 38 of B.C.’s 82 courthouses under a full legal-aid withdrawal. That increased to 53 in February. “It’s going well – the support has grown from the time of the first wave.” The Legal Services Society of B.C., which

administers legal aid with the budget assigned by the province, has responded by dispatching outside lawyers to go to the trouble spots to fill in. Among them is Victoria lawyer Kevin McCullough, who said he and partners from his firm have succeeded in maintaining normal legal-aid service levels in Surrey, Vancouver and Victoria. McCullough said he’s not willing to withdraw what he calls “emergency” legal-aid services from people arrested in criminal cases who may otherwise be stuck in jail. “I will have nothing to do with it,” he said of the strike. “It doesn’t feel right to me.” Legal-aid funding has been cut by 27 per cent over the last decade, from $96 million in 2001 to about $67 million.

International border means reports required on trips to/from Boundary Bay

‘Bureaucratic nightmare’ for boaters Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A day trip across the Georgia Strait has been made complicated for private boaters moored in Boundary Bay who have just learned of decade-old legislation. Opponents say the “ridiculous rule” requires them to advise border officials every time they re-enter Canada – even after simply traversing the jagged international border to go from one Canadian port to another. For Marise and Clive Besser, who never used to think twice before setting out on boat trips to Tumbo and Cabbage Islands – just across the strait, by Saturna Island – the reporting regulation could put a serious dent in their summer sojourns from Crescent Beach Marina to the B.C. marine park. The U.S. border locks in Boundary Bay, making it impossible to leave the Crescent Beach and White Rock area by boat without crossing the international border. The Bessers are confident hundreds of others who have also been unknowingly and unintentionally violating the rules for more than a decade are in the same boat. “Now we’ve got CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) putting another level of concern, I think we’ll be going out much less,” said Clive Besser. “We’re going to think twice about going

to that favourite little marine park.” The rules – which include that boaters carry proof of citizenship, declare goods purchased or acquired outside of Canada and present themselves to CBSA upon arrival in Canada – are not new. They were introduced in 2001. But they’ve only recently become widely known, the Bessers said, as a result of a directive announcing simplified reporting procedures for recreational boaters such as themselves. The modernized rules enable those who transit through international waters – be it for an outing to the Gulf Islands or to fish in Active Pass – to report their return to Canada by cellphone. It’s something the Bessers never realized they had to worry about before, but they’ve since become well-informed of the potential consequences for failing to abide: a $1,000 fine, loss of their Nexus status and detention or forfeiture of their 32-foot Bayliner, Blazer. The Bessers – who have spent hours on the phone with CBSA officials and the local MP’s office confirming and questioning the rules – which exempt private aircraft and commercial vessels – said they want to know why private boaters like themselves aren’t excused, especially considering that they couldn’t avoid passing through U.S. waters even if they tried. As well, they said, while reporting by cellphone is fine in theory, where it fails – and frustrates –

is when visiting an area which doesn’t have cellphone coverage, as the Bessers often do. That, said Clive, necessitates a 36-mile round trip, through often-treacherous waters, to the nearest marine telephone reporting centre, which from Tumbo is Pender Island’s Bedwell Harbour. CBSA’s Renee Ribout confirmed the reporting rules are firm. “The act of entering Canadian waters is sufficient to trigger the presentation requirements, regardless of how long a boater has been away,” Ribout said by email. While Marise suggested the couple would have to be careful what fruits and vegetables they packed for lunch, Ribout said cross-border produce restrictions do not exist for boaters transiting from Canada through international waters to another Canadian destination. The Bessers aren’t alone in questioning the logic of the rules. Fellow boater Doug Hudson was similarly frustrated. “I can’t understand what the thinking is on that,” he said. “It just makes no sense at all. Even if you’re coming out of Vancouver, you could be trapped in this thing.” Hudson, who has a 45-foot Bayliner, estimated there are 2,000 boats affected locally. “Now that we all know it, we have to obey the law. It’s going to be a bureaucratic nightmare,” Marise said.

In about two hours, a man vandalized 80 cars in North Surrey, causing more damage than police have seen in one sweep. Surrey RCMP have arrested and recommended charges against a 41-year-old man for allegedly going on a spree of slashing tires and keying cars at Surrey SkyTrain stations at 10 a.m. Tuesday. The man has a history of property crime and drug offenses, police say. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger said witnesses first saw the man near Surrey Central SkyTrain station causing damage to vehicles as he wandered through. Police were called, and by the time they arrived, the man was gone. “We were trying to catch up to him as he was (allegedly) doing this little crime spree in the area of 104 and King George,” Grainger said. The cat-and-mouse went on for a couple of hours until RCMP caught up with the man at Scott Road SkyTrain station. “We’re looking at about 80 cars now that we’ve identified that have been vandalized,” Grainger said, noting that the damage is in the range of tens of thousands of dollars. Police have recommended charges of mischief against the man and he was scheduled to appear in Surrey Provincial Court Wednesday. If he’s found guilty of the recommended charges, he could face a maximum of six months in jail and/or a $5,000 fine. It’s expected ICBC will be pursuing a cost recovery of the damage to the vehicles. Anyone with information about the incident, or who had a vehicle vandalized and have not yet spoken to police, can call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

Details to emerge at sentencing � from page A1 The Surrey resident had looked on as his lawyer, Isaac Ferbey, told Peace Arch News his client was “simply taking responsibility,” adding “he’s very sorry for the harm he’s caused to the victims and their families in this case.” Police said at the time that the car that hit Laursen had avoided a police stop and sideswiped

another northbound vehicle just prior to the incident, which occurred around 9:40 p.m. A suspect vehicle was found abandoned about a kilometre away near Earl Marriott Secondary. Danyliuk was arrested July 18. Ferbey wouldn’t comment on the length of time between the incident and the arrest. Danyliuk is due in court July 25

for a sentencing hearing that his lawyer predicts will shed more light on what actually happened. “On the 25th there will be a lot said about all of the circumstances,” Ferbey said. “Everything will come to light on that day.” Laursen – described as a happygo-lucky, giving woman – was survived by a daughter and four siblings.

Program ‘has made a difference’ � from page A1 Tenants are now more aware of the potential hazards and more inclined to keep a watchful eye out for potentially suspicious people, resident Keith Owen said. “It’s made a big difference,” Owen told PAN Sunday. The Surrey program is modeled on the Crime Free MultiHousing Program that launched in Mesa, Arizona, in 1992. It’s a three-step process to help owners, managers, tenants, police and other agencies work together to keep illegal and nuisance activity off rental property. The first phase is a one-day seminar for resident managers and owners about crime prevention. Phase 2 involves a safety assessment to make sure the property meets the following minimum standards: a good quality deadbolt on all suite doors; strike plates on wood-framed doors; proper peep-

Curbside trash problem ‘getting worse’ in Hazelmere area

Dismaying dump-and-run Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

Hazelmere resident James Cooper says unlawful roadside trashdumping has become far too common an occurrence in his neighborhood. “It’s pretty constant,” Cooper told Peace Arch News Tuesday. “At least one or two a week.” The latest heap landed a few days ago on 8 Avenue just east of 176 Street. Cooper took a photo of the filthy collection of broken-down totes, busted lawn furniture, carpet fragments and plastic sheeting that was strewn along the side of the road. “It’s like someone’s gutted a house, stuffed it in a truck and decided they didn’t want to pay to take it to a proper dump for disposal,” Cooper said. City bylaw services and police are doing their best, he said, but have been unable to pinpoint those responsible. “As soon as they clean up one, another appears,” Cooper said. “It’s a maddening thing.” The frequent dumping is attracting rodents and birds, Cooper told PAN. He said the activity appears to be increasing with the arrival of warmer weather. “As dumping continues, the cost to taxpayers will begin to

Residents say illegal dumping in Hazelmere is getting worse. take a toll,” Cooper said, adding “there is a public need to identify those responsible and for those responsible to incur the costs of clean up.” He urged residents to keep an eye out for illicit dumping on residential streets and take down vehicle licence numbers. “Watch, be aware and report,” Cooper said. The City of Surrey website describes illegal dumping as “a serious and growing problem.” It may only be 0.012 per cent of the total annual solid waste generated in the city, but illegally dumped trash “can have serious effects on the environment,

Modern day pillory is not justice

ancouver Provincial Court Judge Malcolm MacLean was correct this week to block the B.C. government’s application to televise the trials of the people charged in the Stanley Cup riot. While premier Christy Clark and the government lawyers argued the case was an attempt to improve transparency of the justice system, it was really more about humiliating the people accused of trashing downtown Vancouver so as to discourage others from doing the same in the future. It was, after all, the second hockey riot in Vancouver in a generation, the previous occurring in 1994. Some cynics have suggested the TV proposal was an attempt to exploit, for political purposes, the wave of outrage and revulsion inspired by the events of Wednesday, June 15, 2011 after the Boston Bruins beat the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, an event marked by a riot that caused nearly $4 million in damages. So far, about four dozen people have been charged with participating in the violence. Broadcasting their testimony in court would give everyone a chance to see what exactly they look like. It would clearly identify them to their friends, neighbours and employers who might not wait for the court to decide if they were guilty. Mob justice for a mob, you might say. Much like medieval times, when the same goals of humiliation and deterrence were accomplished by placing someone in a pillory, a device that locked a person’s head, hands and sometimes feet in a hinged wooden board and left them like that in a public place for several hours. Passersby were expected to contribute to the experience by taunting the people in the pillory, jeering and mocking them and pelting them with rotten eggs, fish, mud and other unpleasant, smelly things. The practice fell out of fashion because mobs have been known to lose control and inflict harsher-than-intended punishment, a prospect that seems to have escaped the people who supported what has become known as “Riot TV.” There is a case to be made for video coverage of Canadian court trials to improve transparency and give the public a better sense of the process. This was not that case.

It takes skill and intelligence, and the ability to read both people at the situation, often running mathematical probabilities and percentages through one’s head in the short time it takes to draw the next card. It also takes guts, and a real killer instinct – the ability to take chances and go all-in even if you’re not 100 per cent sure you’ve got the cards. Quite frankly, it’s not a skill I thought Kevin had. After all, I was standing just outside the sandwich shop where Kevin worked in high school – and where I mooched food for free – the night it was robbed by a man with nothing more than a small paring knife. As soon as the thief made his intentions known, Kevin – a hulking teenager, who towered over the intruder – bolted for the back door, leaving the thief to figure out the cash register on his own. At the time, having seen too many Stallone movies, I wondered why he didn’t just take the guy down. Looking back, it was obviously the smartest move he could have made. Gotta know when to fold ’em, too, I guess. Back in my friend’s basement, with my chip stack whittled away to almost nothing, I sat ruing my poor cards. But I also thought again of Kevin. Didn’t make me feel much better about my lost cash, mind you. But I was still happy for him – an awkward but goodhearted lug who made his own luck, even if he wasn’t dealt the best hand in the first place.

Walk a smile in their shoes Editor: Re: PAN online poll, Feb. 2-8. It seems Surrey-Fleetwood MLA Jagrup Brar’s month on welfare did not impress the majority of readers. (Editor’s note: We asked, “Did Surrey MLA Jagrup Brar’s month on a welfare rate make you rethink your views?) So I am contemplating taking a page out of Brar’s book. I think I might try living for a month on an MLA’s salary. Of course, I would choose a month when the legislature is not sitting, but as this is the majority of the year, I should be able to fit this into my life sometime this year. This may impress your readers, more than the 31 per cent of the 107 who responded in the negative to the question of the week. If I survive this month as an MLA, I would then try a month as an MP. Again, I would avoid the unnecessary travel to and from Ottawa by choosing a month when Parliament is not sitting. Lastly, the greatest challenge I would set myself is one month living as a senator. This would involve a month on one or more of Mexico’s better beaches, and there could be danger in this. However, I would not be required to show my face in the Senate, no matter what time of the year I chose to do this. Peter Tilbury, Surrey

A gift from the gifted Editor: Mike and Elizabeth Hollick are moving into an apartment. I received an invitation to Elizabeth’s “free giveaway” last Sunday. I went and her studio was packed full of Elizabeth’s paintings, art stuff and people! She wanted her paintings to go happily to a new home rather than be miserable in a public storage facility. Elizabeth is a very generous, free-spirited person and is always giving to her community with her talent of painting and art. Today, she was giving – personally, to others – paintings that will bring joy to many of us. Thank, Elizabeth, for your generosity, and goodwill spirit. Margaret McLachlan, White Rock

Moving violation Editor: On Feb. 1, a friend and I were walking back home along 152 Street heading towards 24 Avenue from Semiahmoo Mall, when we were suddenly struck from behind by a motorized scooter. I was thrown to the ground and she was hit on the right leg and foot. A fire marshall happened to be coming out of the complex where

the accident occurred. We are wondering what procedures are in place for owners of these vehicles? The sidewalk obviously is shared by pedestrians and mobility scooters alike. However, it would appear that some scooter owners are not very responsible. What requirements are in place for anyone who purchases one – particularly if the person is handicapped slightly, mentally or physically, such as one hand not functioning properly. Are they still allowed to “drive” a mobility scooter? Does anyone know? Dorothy Bachmann, Surrey

Easy to make this connection Editor: Re: Give ‘no busers’ a bit of a break, Feb. 7 letters. With regard to letter-writer Christine Allen’s wish to see TransLink services expanded to include the area south of Highway 10 and east of Highway 99 – the “no bus zone” – I have an idea. In the village of Crescent Beach is a “no-rider zone” filled with buses. We

have lots of full-size empty buses; 61 scheduled and numerous “notin-service” vehicles, as well, course through our narrow streets each day. We do not have riders, though. In fact, Coast Mountain unofficial stats record 15 passengers a day get on a bus in this village of 400 homes – and even the number 15 seems terribly generous to me. So… it seems an easy solution to make both Ms. Allen and myself very happy would be to shift the lonely 351 buses into the “no-bus zone” and leave the village of Crescent Beach a lot quieter.

White Rock council wouldn’t discuss a motion allowing dogs some access to the promenade, but letter writers will.

They’re barking up the wrong tree Editor: Re: No support for Dogs on promenade, Feb. 9. There is nothing I would love more than to be able to walk my dog on a warm summer evening down on the promenade, but let’s face the facts. Sadly, a few bad apples definitely do spoil the barrel. I know full well that for every four dogs owners who faithfully clean up after their pet, there is at least one who won’t – and I believe I’m being generous with that ratio. Sorry, my fellow dog lovers, but the reality is plainly clear: until those nasty messes in our parks, on trails and our city streets become a very rare sight there is absolutely no chance of pooches on the promenade, no matter how much we petition, promise or plead. Stacey Marton, Surrey ••• I am a dog owner and I am supportive of others’ dogs needing to be outside to exercise and to socialize. However, the promenade, the grassy area beside it from West Beach to East beach, the pier and the beach are not suitable places for dogs, whether on- or off-leash. There are numerous ignorant dog owners who do not clean up after their dogs. Every time I walk the promenade, there are always dogs – both on- and offleash – on the walkway and on the beach. This is one bylaw that requires clarification and enforcement. And when walking in my and other residential streets, there is always dog poop that the owners ignore. Denis Corrin, Surrey

White Rock should lead the pack

The City of White Rock is demonstrating a clear lack of vision in terms of its attitude and availability of public areas to the public with canine companions. It seems city officials not only are confused by their existing bylaw, they can’t or won’t fix it. I attended the city council meeting on Feb. 6 where Mike Armstrong of the DOG White Rock advocacy group presented compelling arguments for the altering of the bylaws pertaining to dogs and their owners and

for providing for off-leash areas in White Rock. I was dismayed by the reaction of our new council to Armstrong’s well-articulated presentation. It seems only Coun. Helen Fathers remembers the commitments made during the last election by most and made a motion to change the bylaws. The rest sat impassively mute. This is an issue that is not going away. Sending the issue to staff for comments is not being proactive in this. There was a suggestion from Coun. Louise Hutchinson to engage the Semiahmoo First Nation and explore possibilities of reopening its fenced-off area in East Beach once again as an off-leash area. The suggestion was one of the recommendations of the 2007 parks master plan, so it is hardly a new idea and does not address the central issue that while there are up to 40 per cent of city households with dogs – by DOG White Rock’s estimates – there are 0 per cent of our public parks and facilities available to them as off-leash areas. Transferring the problem to the First Nations or the City of Surrey is sidestepping the issue, not addressing it. Cities worldwide are moving toward adding more facilities for dogs and their human companions. One only has to look at Carmel, Calif. as an example of what White Rock could be like with some vision. Council should dedicate itself to becoming a leader among its peers, not stuck behind a decades-old outdated bylaw and struggling to implement a five-year-old master plan. The argument by some for not allowing dogs on the waterfront – that dogs poop and some dog owners don’t pick up after their dogs – is true. However, that does not mean none of the owners will pick up after them. If council was to make the fine $250 or even heftier for not picking up, I don’t think there is one responsible dog owner that would blink an eye. It is interesting to note the estimate of the number of dogs living in White Rock is 4,000-5,000 – more votes than any individual received during the last election. My dog can’t vote and his memory is not so great, but my memory is much better and I can vote on his behalf. S. Keddy, White Rock

Rioters try to flip a car during a spree of vandalism and looting on June 15.

Broadcast bid has been scrapped

Riot trials won’t air Jeff Nagel Black Press

The B.C. government has backed away from its plan to seek video coverage of prosecutions from last year’s Stanley Cup riot. The sudden reversal was announced by Attorney General Shirley Bond late Monday, after a provincial court judge rejected the first prosecutor’s application to televise a sentencing. Coquitlam resident Ryan Dickinson pleaded guilty to his part in the Vancouver riot last June, and was subject to the first of what would have been many Crown applications to broadcast his sentencing via the web. But Judge Malcolm MacLean ruled there was not enough information to make a ruling in time. A few hours after that decision, Bond issued a statement announcing that Premier Christy Clark’s intention to seek televised justice for rioters is rescinded because of the prospect of further delays. “The province has had two goals – timely justice and greater transparency to the justice system,” Bond said. “If we must choose between the two, we will pursue timely justice.” NDP Leader Adrian Dix has criticized Clark’s demand for televised riot trials as a gimmick to take attention away from court backlogs that have 2,500 cases on the verge of being dismissed for undue delays. MacLean said his ruling only applies to Dickinson and shouldn’t be read as a broader precedent. Cameras are normally banned from

court rooms, but judges can allow proceedings to be broadcast in certain circumstances. They must decide it is in the public interest and that televising proceedings won’t affect the right to a fair trial, cause discomfort to any witness, interfere with any privacy interest that may take precedence, deter witnesses in future similar cases, cause additional court expenses or otherwise hamper the administration of justice. “There was no information on this hearing as to the impact of broadcasting by webcast in the widest manner possible on trial fairness or the effect it may have on witnesses,” MacLean stated in his decision. “There remained many outstanding questions regarding the technology to be used and its implications for preserving the decorum and dignity of the court.” Video images could be downloaded and then manipulated or altered, the judge said, and transmitted anywhere in the world. Dickinson’s lawyer opposed the application, calling it politically motivated – a notion the judge rejected. Crown prosecutors had asked their images not be broadcast out of concern for their safety and privacy. B.C. Crown Counsel Association president Samiran Lakshman said the association supported the applications to webcast the riot proceedings – provided the legal requirements could be met and that prosecutors’ images were hidden.

Former A-Gs back marijuana reform

Legalization pushed Jeff Nagel Black Press

A co-ordinated push to legalize marijuana has gained the backing of four former B.C. attorneys-general. The four â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who include former BC Liberal A-G Geoff Plant and former NDP A-Gs Colin Gabelmann, Ujjal Dosanjh and Graeme Bowbrick â&#x20AC;&#x201C; signed a letter to Premier Christy Clark and Opposition leader Adrian Dix calling for the regulation and taxation of cannabis to combat organized crime. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the latest high-profile additions to the Stop the Violence B.C. coalition campaign for pot decriminalization. The letter comes in the wake of a surge in Lower Mainland gang violence in recent weeks, including multiple shootings in Vancouver and Surrey. It warns continued marijuana prohibition is the cause of much of the gang violence and more aggressive enforcement is not the solution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The case demonstrating the failure and harms of marijuana prohibition is airtight,â&#x20AC;? their letter says, citing â&#x20AC;&#x153;massive profits for organized crime, widespread gang violence, easy access to illegal cannabis for our youth, reduced community safety and significant â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and escalating â&#x20AC;&#x201C; costs to taxpayers.â&#x20AC;? The only solution, they said, is to â&#x20AC;&#x153;move away from an unregulated and increasingly violent illegal market, which is largely controlled by orga-

nized crime and whose only motive is profit, and towards a strictly regulated legal market whose motive is public health and safety.â&#x20AC;? The former A-Gs also expressed dismay that B.C. is supporting the federal move to mandatory minimum sentences for minor pot offences, saying misguided prosecutions will further strain an already clogged system without reducing pot use or prohibition-related violence. Plant, who served from 2001 to 2005, said in an interview heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glad he was approached by Stop the Violence campaigners and hopes the coalition gathers more momentum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have always had a problem with using criminal law to punish a behaviour that one does to yourself â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including growing a plant in your backyard and smoking it,â&#x20AC;? he said. Plant said he believes the fallout of pot prohibition has worsened since he was B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief prosecutor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s causing more gang problems and more gang violence,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increasingly permeating every aspect of the economy of the province.â&#x20AC;? Plant said Canada must recognize the war on cannabis has failed and that â&#x20AC;&#x153;all criminalization does is feed the profits of gangstersâ&#x20AC;? by making the drug trade more lucrative. Change must ultimately come from Otawa, he said, adding provincial leaders focused on sustaining the flow of federal grants are unlikely to rock the boat.

Randal Atkinson photos

Randal Atkinson, chair of the board at Darts Hill Garden Park, spends many hours snapping photos of the exotic and rare plants in the garden.

Darts Hill holds decades worth of history within its walls

A ‘hidden gem’ found in South Surrey Sarah Massah

Staff Reporter

t Darts Hill Garden Park, there is an array of rare and unusual plants waiting for a keen eye to discover them. The South Surrey garden – tucked away in the south Grandview area, at 16 Avenue and 170 Street – was bequeathed to the city in 1995 and is home to unique and rare plants that can be discovered upon closer inspection. For those who require a little more help on their quest for discovery, there is always the chance they’ll run into Randal Atkinson, a serious greenthumb and chair of the board at Darts Hill. The horticulturist has been involved with the board at Darts Hill for five years, but spent many years prior to that visiting the lush garden looking at the rare plants inhabiting more than seven acres. During those visits, he learned about the history of the garden and the people behind it. Explaining its history, Atkinson noted on a recent tour, is impossible to do without starting with Francisca and Edwin Darts –

the original owners of the garden. All the plants seen around the garden stem from more than 60 years of work and dedication, based on Francisca’s clear vision, Atkinson said. An avid gardener, Francisca transformed what was originally a logged area of land into an awardwinning orchard, filled with apple, pear, apricot and walnut trees. After seeing an exhibit by the Alpine Garden Club of BC at the Pacific National Exhibition, she joined organizations devoted to horticulture, including the Royal Horticulture Society, where she received the seeds of many rare and unusual plants, shrubs and trees, transforming the landscape into what is now Darts Hill. “It was a big task. There were no Art Knapps or any garden centres like that back in the day,” Atkinson laughed. After the death of her husband in 1994, Francisca bequeathed the garden to the city the following year. She continued to live on the acreage and oversee the garden until 2010, when she moved to a retirement facility. Although Francisca is no longer

After interesting plants in the garden and discovering a branch from Edwin’s tree had fallen, he took the a few of his personal favourites, branch, made cuttings and planted including the rhododendrons along the tractor road that forges them in a nursery in the hopes

that they would grow again. “It may seem like a lot of work, but when you love your work with a passion, it feels like half the effort.” Atkinson pointed to a tree blooming with flowers despite the winter chill, offering its Latin name and the role it plays in the delicate and intricate ecosystem in the garden. Many people don’t think there is anything blooming in the winter, he said. “But it’s there, you just have to look for it.” Atkinson noted it’s the same case with the garden. You just have to look for it. With an open house coming up in March, Atkinson says he remains hopeful people in the community will take advantage of the opportunity to see the unique and rare plants at Darts Hill and the atmosphere surrounding the lush, wooded area. “There’s a sense of calm; almost an energy you can feel,” he said. “And it’s all right here in the community.” For more information, visit www.dartshill.ca

Sensitive to gluten & dairy?

Contaminated soil delays construction

Late start for railway Jennifer Lang Black Press

A society of heritage rail enthusiasts wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be moving into a new home in Cloverdale until sometime this summer. Construction on the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new operations was supposed to begin months ago, but the project is at least six months behind schedule. The project unexpectedly hit a snag last April, when contaminated soil was discovered on the 5554 176 St. property, a site that will be home to the societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interurban car barn and replica Cloverdale Station once the move from Sullivan Station is complete. The society had hoped to capitalize on the publicity generated by an exhibit about the historic Interurban railway that opened at the Surrey Museum earlier this week â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as well as begin offering limited passenger runs in May. Now the plan is to start construction on the railway barn in March, move in July and begin test runs sometime in August. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a challenge,â&#x20AC;? society secretary Allen Aubert told Black Press in a recent telephone interview. Things looked like they were about to get back on track in August, when the soil remediation was completed and a new surface drainage system and storm drains were put in place, but the project stalled again in the fall while the society waited for the green light from city hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do much if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do things before October when the monsoons come,â&#x20AC;? Aubert said. The societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new car barn and replica Cloverdale station â&#x20AC;&#x201C; modeled on the original B.C. Electric Railway Interurban station here â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is part of a $5-million project (a sum that includes in-kind donations of material and labour). In early 2011, the City of Surrey approved $2.9 million in spending

to relocate the societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations to Cloverdale from Sullivan Station at 64 Avenue and 152 Street. The move was supposed to be completed in time for the opening of the exhibit, The British Columbia Electric Railway â&#x20AC;&#x201C; More than Just a Tram, presented in partnership with Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society and Chilliwack Museum, until March 24. The intention was to bring Surrey Museum visitors to view the societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two Interurban cars, which have been the focus of nearly a decade of effort and some 17,000 volunteer hours of labour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a little disappointed,â&#x20AC;? Aubert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really wanted to take people by the hand and bring them to the site.â&#x20AC;? Last June, the society held what was intended to be their last open house at Sullivan Station. Now, the group is considering holding two more open houses in order to keep the project in the public eye and build momentum prior to â&#x20AC;&#x153;the big moveâ&#x20AC;? to Cloverdale, likely sometime in July.

White Rock Orthodontic Center helps Spring for Kids win $100,000

Clinic nets hospital grant Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

A South Surrey orthodontic clinic – and its patients – has helped put smiles on the faces of a handful of children with cleft palates and craniofacial disorders. After an ambitious campaign for online votes, BC Children’s Hospital discovered last fall that its Spring for Kids BC initiative – which helps children with craniofacial disorders – had been chosen the winner of a $100,000 Pepsi Canada “Refresh Grant.” The soft drink company’s ‘refresh’ campaign has been ongoing since 2010, and aims to help communities and organizations throughout the country. Once they were named a finalist last spring, those involved with Spring for Kids – including White Rock Orthodontic Center – encouraged patients, friends and colleagues to spread the word and vote online at Pepsi’s website. “I don’t know how many votes we got, but it was enough,” said Dr. Dorothy Sonya, one of three orthodontists at the centre, alongside Bo Hoglund and Jay Nagamatsu. “It’s just wonderful, and it’ll help so many children born with these

types of (conditions).” The voting campaign ran from March 1 until April 30 last year, and after winners were announced, Pepsi spent a few months vetting the results to ensure “all aspects of the contest were properly handled.” Once it was determined that Spring for Kids would indeed receive the funds, Sonya and her

colleagues chose Feb. 14 for the big announcement. Sonya said while basic medical coverage covers basic craniofacial and cleft palate issues, patients and their families often have to pay for follow-up procedures on their own, which can be costly. This grant, she estimated, will help 20 to 25 young patients pay for those procedures at BC Children’s Hospital. The prize money is broken down as follows: $50,000 to provide prosthetic and rehabilitative treatment – including the insertion of at least 10 dental implants, bridges and removable or partial dentures; $30,000 to provide 15 children with dental restoration; and $20,000 to create interactive educational materials about cleft and craniofacial disorders. “Society is very focused on aesthetics, and for some of these children, no matter how smart they are, or what else they do, this can hold them back. We just want to be able to make that better for them,” Sonya said.

Joan Smith, 80, retires from Sources

Volunteer celebrated for decades of service Sarah Massah

Staff Reporter

or 20 years, Joan Smith has served the Semiahmoo Peninsula, working with volunteers to bring fresh, delicious groceries to those who require a little extra help. This week, the octogenarian stepped down from her volunteer position with the Shop-By-Phone program offered by Sources Peace Arch Resource Centre. “I told everybody when I got to be 80, which I was in August, I was retiring,” she told Peace Arch News before her final day Tuesday. Through Sources, Smith headed a team of 23 volunteers who split up the tasks of taking orders every Monday and shopping for the items the next day. Smith led both teams, and was in charge of organizing the shopping team, which consisted of six volunteers who met with her every Tuesday at 6 a.m. In any given week, there would be 35 to 45 orders that needed to be divvied up, located and purchased. “We are a bunch of crazy people, but we had a cashier who started early so we would get organized, and then at 7 a.m. we would get coffee at Tim Hortons and then get back to work,” Smith said, laughing. The entire program – aside from a

“People would always say how helpful it was,” said Smith. “It helped them feel more self-sufficient.” The program not only allows participants to be more independent,

but it also reaches out to those who may feel isolated, according to Sue Sanderson, Sources’ community program services manager. “The team has a great relationship

with the clients and it’s very uplifting,” Sanderson said. “When I drop by, I feel like I got my boost for the week.” Although Smith has enjoyed her time with the shopping program, she admits she is getting tired. She plans to continue to take orders over the phone for a while longer, as she doesn’t want to “quit cold turkey.” But she says she is looking forward to spending more time with her husband and friends. “If I don’t now, it will be too late,” she laughed. Smith said the most important thing she has taken away from her experience is the many friendships she has gained – not only with the volunteers, but with the clients as well. “After a few years, you get to know people and you make a real friend. I’ll call them and I can tell if they’re having a bad day, and I’ll suggest maybe they should eat a little more if they can,” she said. “We all care about the clients.” Smith recommends that people get active in their community, not only because they are providing comfort to those who need it but because they can gain so much from their experience. “Once you start volunteering, you wonder why other people don’t,” she said.

Bed pans get new cleanse Jeff Nagel Black Press

New disinfector units to clean soiled bed pans are being installed at Lower Mainland hospitals after an audit determined the old system wasn’t adequately removing human waste. The 16-month investigation initiated by the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority resulted in 131 machines being replaced at hospitals in that region and another 61 at hospitals in the Fraser Health region. The probe had found the old decontaminators, many of which were relatively new and still under warranty, failed between seven and 33 per cent of the time, often leaving behind “visible fecal soil.” A failure rate of five per cent or less was

deemed acceptable. New German-made Meiko decontaminator machines are replacing the faulty ones at an estimated cost of $2.55 million, Fraser Health spokesman Roy Thorpe-Dorward said. He said Fraser hospitals use a combination of bed pan disinfectors – where pans along with their full contents are put in machines similar to dishwashers – and disposable bed pans. The Vancouver Coastal study found the failures in the bed pan cleaning process were due to a combination of machine design flaws and human error, such as incorrect machine loading or failing to check levels of detergent and rinse agent. The audit also found that plastic bed pans cleaned better than stainless steel ones.

Fact-finder appointed in teacher talks Tom Fletcher Black Press

A labour ministry fact-finder has been appointed to make one last effort to find common ground between the B.C. government and public school teachers. Assistant deputy minister Trevor Hughes has until Feb. 23 to report on possible solutions to the yearlong deadlock, but Education Minister George Abbott said last week that he doesn’t have much hope of a solution. Abbott said he met with B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Susan Lambert before Hughes was appointed, and asked one more time if there was any chance of a settlement under the province’s two-year “net zero” wage mandate. “The answer was no,”

Abbott said. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association issued a statement this month admitting that no amount of meetings will change the gap between the parties, with the BCTF seeking a 16-per-cent wage increase over three years and a list of time off and other benefit improvements. Abbott said backto-work legislation can be quickly drafted and passed in the legislature, if Hughes confirms there is no hope for a negotiated settlement. The BCTF has run TV and radio ads to back its demand for the government to abandon its net-zero mandate, which numerous provincial government unions, including school district support staff, have accepted.

Southridge School grad Aquil Virani works on one of his art pieces. Virani’s next exhibit, called Copycats, will be on display at Montreal’s McGill University.

Aquil Virani’s latest project combines pieces created in front of live audiences

Southridge grad solos with McGill exhibit Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

quil Virani’s art exists where painting and performance art cross paths. The Surrey-raised 2008 Southridge School graduate, 21, opened his second solo show, Copycat, at McGill University’s Fridge Door Gallery Wednesday, and he says it combines pieces created ‘live’ at different events over the last few years. “I like to paint in front of people,” he said, describing it as “nerve-wracking” but inspiring at the same time. “I’ll go up to people very casually and say ‘Hi, I’m Aquil Virani’ and I’ll ask them to draw me something based on the event LMD-VAN-NDL-000-2013Ext-103125x35-BW.pdf they’re at.”

Armed with a group of drawings at the beginning, he’ll start his own large format painting – comparing the material gathered initially to the ‘buffering’ needed when downloading a video – “but I always need more drawings to continue.” “It’s a very accessible, fun, interactive process,” he added. “I can take suggestions from people on what to draw, how to paint, what they see.” The people who give him drawings get to see their drawings reproduced on the larger work, but conformed to Virani’s style, which incorporates bold cartoon-like lines over large areas of colour wash. “I’m creating something that is larger than the sum of2:07 thePMparts,” he said. “I’m 1 12-01-11 the facilitator of communication of the

communal art piece, but the sum of the parts makes an art piece that’s original.” He said he first started doing this kind of painting when he was still at Southridge, crediting art teacher Suzy Baranszky-Job with allowing him to develop his own style. “She had a hands-off approach – if you were interested to go off by yourself and do something and you had the motivation to work at it, she would let you,” he said. “I had the inkling this was something that would work for me, that this would be a career path that was possible and pleasurable.” Virani said he enjoys these kinds of projects most of all, partly because he’s “a social guy,” but also because the concept of connecting with people resonates with him.

“It’s like the movie, Into The Wild, where the moral of the story is ‘happiness is only real when it’s shared,’” he said. “I’m also a performer – I love being live in front of people.” He titled his show Copycat, he said, because he’s interested in the theme of imitation, and exploring the line between drawing inspiration from somebody’s idea and copying it. With regard to viewers’ participation, he knows he’s going against the egocentricity that drives many artists. “I’m a keener and an over-achiever. I love to be successful, but if I don’t have friends at the end of it, if I don’t have communication with people, then it’s not worth much. “It’s about the interaction at the end of it all.”

Bayside wins three at Vegas tournament Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Bayside Sharks U16 boys rugby team returned triumphant from the desert earlier this week, after picking up three wins – and nearly a fourth – at the Las Vegas Sevens Invitational tournament. The team, with a roster of 28, was taking part in the prestigious event – run in conjunction with the USA

Sevens international tournament – alongside nearly 400 other teams in varying divisions and age groups. The U16 Sharks opened the tournament – just a few hours after touching down in Las Vegas – with a lopsided win over a team from the Las Vegas Rugby Academy, and followed that with a 41-5 win over a team from Utah made up largely – emphasis on the “large” –

of Polynesian Islanders. “These Samoan guys were humungous, and pretty intimidating for our players, I think,” said U16 coach Andy Blackburn. “They had some guys who were over 300 pounds, and we don’t have a single guy over 200, I don’t think. It was really men against boys – such a physical mismatch – but the boys really stepped up and played

great.” The next day, the Sharks played a game that Blackburn called “the real highlight of the tournament.” In that tilt — against a U18 team, Bellarmime, from San Jose – the Sharks edged their older opponents 21-19, thanks to a late-game try and conversion by Joey Meekley and Gavin Rowell, respectively. On the play, Rowell kicked the ball

downfield – “kicked it to nowhere,” Blackburn stressed – and it took a hard bounce off the ground, right into the hands of Meekley, who touched the ball down between the uprights for a try, which was followed by Rowell’s conversion to put the team ahead. “I went from wanting to strangle him to wanting to hug him,” Black� see page A33

New team for NHLer

Jackets a perfect fit for Gillies Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

olton Gillies has been a busy man, of late – a fact that isn’t all that surprising considering the demands put on professional hockey players during the National Hockey League season. Between practice, team meetings, travel, media requests and the games themselves, it doesn’t leave a guy much free time. In Gillies’ case, he’s also had to adjust a new city and a new team – the Columbus Blue Jackets – over the past four weeks. The new Ohio resident hasn’t even had time to set up his cellphone messaging, which means inquiring minds in the media need to find alternative methods of getting in touch with the six-foot-four forward. “Yeah, sorry about that… I didn’t recognize the number, and I haven’t quite figured out this new phone’s voicemail yet,” Gillies, a South Surrey native, said last week from Columbus. “Eventually, my mom sent me a Facebook message and told me to call the paper back.” In Gillies’ defence, fulfilling media requests has probably been low on his priority list. In mid-January, Gillies, who turned 23 on Sunday, was waived by the Minnesota Wild – the organization that drafted him in the first round of the 2007 NHL entry draft. But rather than head to the Wild’s minor-league affiliate in Houston, he was scooped up by the Blue Jackets. Gillies heard he was being waived while the Wild were in St. Louis. He was walking to the rink with teammates when general manager Chuck Fletcher called him with the news. “It was such a shock,” said Gillies, who signed a new contract with Minnesota in the off-season, and was expected to be a bigger part of the team this year, after spending much of the last two seasons in the minors. “My heart just dropped. I was speechless.” From there, Gillies – after calling his agent to figure out the next step – simply waited. The next day, he found out Columbus had put in a claim for him, and just like that, he

was gone. “I didn’t really know how waivers worked… it was a tough day for me,” he said. “I flew home to Minnesota first, because I only had one suit, and then I met up with the (Blue Jackets) and went from there.” Luckily for Gillies, the league’s all-star break quickly followed his move to Ohio, which gave him time to head back to Minnesota to collect his belongings. “My brother flew out and helped me pack up all my stuff, then we drove to Columbus,” Gillies said.

So far, the fresh start has paid off. Gillies said, which is about as close as he’ll Playing for Wild head coach Mike Yeo come to throwing stones at his former – who had been his coach in Houston – team. “Kind of show them what they’re Gillies had just two assists in 37 games this missing.” season, and was often a healthy scratch.

Hoop teams prep for playoffs Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

South Surrey senior boys hoops squads take the first step towards provincial AAA championships this week, as the Fraser Valley Southwest zone playoff tournament tips off. The play-in round of the tournament was held Tuesday night for lower seeds, with four South Surrey entries hitting the court; Sullivan Heights defeated Earl Marriott 70-54, and Elgin Park knocked off Semiahmoo 84-60. The second round hit the court Wednesday at Tamanawis Sec-

ondary, with White Rock Christian Academy taking on the Seaquam Seahawks, and the host Tamanawis Wildcats, one of the top teams in the province, playing Sullivan Heights. In the two other first-round matchups, Elgin Park was to play No. 2-seed Delta, while South Delta and North Delta played in the final game. Results were not available by Peace Arch News’ deadline. Historically, WRCA has done well in the divisional tourney – winning it more often than not over the course of the last decade

– but this year enter as just the third seed, behind Tamanawis and Delta. “We expect to be number one, of course, but this year, Tamanawis and Delta just played better than us, it’s as simple as that,” WRCA head coach John Dykstra said. “There’s no gimme games in this conference – it’s much tougher than it has been the last few years. “It’s going to be tough.” Games continue today through Saturday, all at Tamanawis. The top eight teams advance to Fraser Valley Championships.

� from page A31 burn laughed, when discussing Rowell’s initial kick. “It’s like we say in rugby – always chase down the kick.” The Sharks nearly made it four wins in a row on the tournament’s final day, but they came up just short, 19-17, to a team from Snow Canyon, Utah. “But we did have a try disallowed, and the ref later apologized for it,” Blackburn said. “But by that game – we’d played four games in less than 48 hours – the boys were just really battered and bruised.” The U16 crew were not the only locals taking part in the Vegas event. A number of Surrey players – Bobby Devaney, Robert Jones, Joey Kenville, Alex Klassen, Ian McMaster, Quinton Willms and Luke Zandbergen – were also members of Team BC squads in the U18 tournament. B.C. fielded three teams in the event – two in the U18 elite division and another in the high school sevens tourney.

Many things to think about when buying a home

Simpson offers tips for new home buyers So you want to buy a home, you have a nice down payment saved up and you’re rearing to go. But are you ready? The number-one thing you need to do, according to Peter Simpson, President and CEO of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association, is get pre-approved for a mortgage. He says this step will virtually guarantee your price point, and it’ll make sure you don’t bite off more than you can chew in terms of monthly payments. “When the offer goes in, you’ve already done the work,” he says. “It saves time and heartache: you won’t get disappointed by missing out on a house that you love.” Do you really need that four-bedroom townhome? Simpson says most couples just starting may be better off with a two-

bedroom, two-bathroom condo, which will allow for an addition to the family without destroying your budget. Above all, Simpson says home buyers need to separate their needs from their wants before hitting the market. Finally, you’re going to want to know what the neighbourhood is like. Simpson says buyers need to do some research into transit, schools and future development plans. Will that green space be turned into a high-rise or more townhomes? Commuters will want to know how long it takes to get to work, so the best way to find out is to give it a shot. Make sure you do it during rush hour. “People say ‘It’s not that far,’” Simpson says. “But people are typically looking at a house on a Sunday afternoon.”

‘Your friendly neighbourhood builder’

Kanaka Creek the first development from Bluetree Homes by Kerry Vital

Buying a new home can be stressful, but working with a builder with a great reputation and decades of background in creating new communities will go a long way to giving you peace of mind and a fantastic buying experience. It was with that thought in mind that ParkLane Homes introduces their newest development company, Bluetree Homes. Owned by ParkLane’s current Chief Operating Officer Ben Taddei, Bluetree is priding itself on its friendly approach to home building. As a member of the Greater Vancouver Homebuilders’ Association and the Canadian Homebuilders’ Association, the entire company is devoted to setting the bar high with the quality of their construction and innovation in home and community design. “Bluetree is building on ParkLane Homes’ stellar 30-year reputation to focus on high-quality homes of all types – apartments, townhomes and single-family homes – throughout Metro Vancouver,” says Yosh Kasahara, general manager of sales and marketing at Bluetree and ParkLane. “ParkLane will continue to do what it does best: deliver large master-planned communities like the 130-acre River District located in southeast Vancouver.”

“

As a Bluetree homeowner, you can count on dependable customer service and lasting quality in your home,” says general manager of sales and marketing Yosh Kasahara.

Bluetree is currently developing communities in five neighbourhoods throughout the Lower Mainland, including Maple Ridge, Surrey, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Vancouver. “Bluetree looks for established neighbourhoods which are close to existing amenities like schools, shopping, parks and transit,” Kasahara says. “This combination of location and home features offer its residents a great quality of life and enduring

value through smart design, sound construction and customer service.” Its first community, “Bluetree Homes at Kanaka Creek” in Maple Ridge, is selling now. The 51 three- and four-bedroom townhomes are available in three different floorplans, ranging from 1,350 to 2,180 square feet. One amazing feature of Kanaka Creek is the Maple Ridge location. continued on page 3

ParkLane has built more than 6,000 homes in over 100 communities across Metro Vancouver, and has been recognized with over 300 provincial and national awards for building excellence. In 2010, they were awarded the Grand SAM Award by the CHBA, and were nominated again in 2011 (the awards will be given out next month.) The Grand SAM recognizes the top builder in Canada for excellence in both building and marketing new homes.

Bluetree Homes has broken into the market with its first townhome development, Bluetree Homes at Kanaka Creek. Featuring beautiful views of the creek and surrounding parkland, Bluetree is also pleased to offer double-basin undermount sinks, left, and an open-plan layout, top.

…off the front: “Bluetree is building on ParkLane Homes’ stellar 30-year reputation to focus on high-quality homes of all types ... throughout Metro Vancouver.” Yosh Kasahara. continued from page 1

Surrounded by the namesake creek and parkland, the great outdoors is literally just outside your front door. A children’s playground is right in the neighbourhood, so if your little ones need to let off some steam, you’re already in the perfect spot. Even the homes themselves have outdoor options, with private decks and patios for entertaining or a quiet evening in. “Due to its hillside location, many of the homes offer panoramic views of parkland, Kanaka Creek, and even Mount Baker,” Kasahara says. Those stunning views are just one piece in the home puzzle. The interiors are built in an open-plan layout, with nine-foot ceilings on the first floor and large kitchen spaces. Bluetree has included convenient workspaces, islands, breakfast bars and pantries, so you have several options for meals, entertaining or food preparation. The engineered stone countertops with a hand-set tile backsplash are perfectly complemented by the shakerstyle cabinets with their brushed nickel hardware. The double basin stainless-steel sink is a masterstroke of convenience, while the stainless-steel appliances lend the true air of a gourmet kitchen to this elegant space. When you’re in need of a little peace and quiet, the master ensuites include separate soaker tubs in some homes, and “his and hers” vanities so you can both get ready in the morning without elbowing your partner for mirror space. “The homes at Kanaka Creek have been designed by our award-winning team with ease and functionality in mind,” says Kashara. “Open floorplans make the main floor level feel spacious and connect living and dining rooms with large decks for seamless indooroutdoor living.” The location was chosen because of its proximity to every amenity a family could ever want, Kasahara says. There are several excellent schools nearby, as well as shopping, parks, restaurants and the West Coast Express commuter rail line. “Kanaka Creek is perfect for young families, first-time buyers and area locals looking to move into a home that better fits their needs,” he says. The grand opening of Kanaka Creek will take place on Saturday, Feb. 25, but some homes have already been snapped up. “Even before we officially launched for sales, visitors to our two decorated show homes have been wowed by the contemporary interior design details and high-quality finishes,” Kasahara says, adding “Buyers have told us that this community ‘sets the bar for new townhomes in Maple Ridge.’”

Future Bluetree communities will include Bishop Creek in Surrey, Mackin Park in Coquitlam, Citadel Heights in Port Coquitlam and Main Street in Vancouver. Integrity is big to the people at Bluetree, and research has shown that the reputation of a homebuilder is an important factor in the home-buying decision. This is particularly true with new homes because they are often sold before they are built, and potential buyers must rely on show homes, features lists and floorplans to make their decision. “As a Bluetree homeowner, you can count on dependable customer service and lasting quality in your home,” says Kasahara. ParkLane is one of Greater Vancouver’s most respected builders, and is responsible for communities such as Heritage Woods in Port Moody and Bedford Landing in Fort Langley. Bluetree will continue this tradition with its own selection of neighbourhoods. “Bluetree’s slogan is ‘your friendly neighbourhood builder,’” says Kasahara. “This reflects our commitment to making the home-buying process easy and enjoyable; from the minute you walk into the Bluetree Store, it’s our goal to make the process relaxed and stress-free.” Homes at Kanaka Creek start at $299,900. For more information about Bluetree Homes and Kanaka Creek, check out www. bluetreehomes.ca or visit the Bluetree Store at 11176 Gilker Hill Road in Maple Ridge.

Potential buyers who have walked through the two fully furnished showhomes at Kanaka Creek have commented on the high-quality finishes and elegant interior design details, general manager of sales and marketing for Bluetree and ParkLane Yosh Kasahara says. It’s hard not to immediately fall in love with the three- and four-bedroom townhomes.

Mayes, Glenn Franklin

September 11/1938 - February 11/2012 Born in St. Paul’s Hospital, Vancouver to parents Frank & Frances & passed away with his family at his side in Fort Nelson, B.C. Predeceased by father 1963, his eldest son Norman 2011, his daughter Lemarr 2002, grandson Skyler 2011 & brother Merv 2003. Survived by his loving mother Frances, siblings Victor, Lemarr & Lovelle. Glenn will be deeply missed by children Frank, Boomer, Dan, Mike, CR, Serena & Lance, also many grandchildren, nieces & nephews. Glenn’s early days were spent as a Vancouver Sun paper carrier, ﬁshing in the bay, hunting with his father. Glenn attended Semiahmoo High School, leaving to join the army. He was sent to Kingston, Ont., for training; beginning his trade with Royal Canadian Electrical-Mechanical Engineers. Following this he was sent to Egypt with the United Nations Emergency Forces on the Gaza Strip. He returned home, married & worked many years for Westcoast Transmission as a heavy duty mechanic in Churchill, Manitoba, Eskimo Pt., & Fort Nelson. After a long, hard-fought battle “The General” as he was called, will ﬁnally be put to rest in his beloved “North” town of Fort Nelson, Feb. 18/12. Donations to the charity of your choice.

Fred passed away peacefully at Peace Arch Hospital, White Rock, BC. Fred will be greatly missed by his loving family: his wife Stella, his daughters; Evelyn and her husband Allen MacCallum of White Rock, BC and Teresa and her husband Paul Lebofsky of West Vancouver, BC, his sons; Murray and his wife Margaret of Summerland, BC and his son Peter and his wife Barbara of Houston, Texas; his devoted grandchildren and their families, Matt, Daniel, Michael and his wife Morgan, Tavis, Jennifer, Alexandra, Sonia and Jonathan; his two sisters, Olga Smith and Jean Korby and his sister-in-law, Mary Syrnyk. He was sadly preceded by his parents Nick and Mary Syrnyk, his brothers John Syrnyk and Mike Syrnyk and his sister Emily Holubowich. Fred was born in Ethelbert, Manitoba and spent his early life in Hines Creek, Alberta where he farmed, taught school and worked in his family’s store. He moved to Dawson Creek, BC with his family and established the John Deere dealership and continued to farm. Fred was a loyal, loving and devoted husband to Stella. He was a quiet man whose acts of devotion to his family and friends were often based in the things he built and did rather than words. His family knew that this was his way of showing love. Fred was so very proud of all of his children and grandchildren. The associations through his years of working for John Deere and Manulife and his friendships made in the Rotary Club and his church brought much fulfillment to his life. The family would like to thank all his friends and family for their love and concern during his illness. They would also like to send a special thank you to all the staff on the Peace Arch Hospital ACE Unit for their loving and compassionate care. His funeral memorial service will be held on Saturday, February 18, at 1:00pm at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre, 14831-28th Ave, Surrey, BC In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Fred’s memory to Canadian Diabetes or a charity of your choice.
