Plebiscite campaign not considered ‘election’ advertising, mayor says

City of Surrey takes down ‘no’ signs

Block Watch bond

Safety in numbers

Kevin DiakiwBlack Press

The City of Surrey has been pulling “No TransLink Tax” signs from city property, and the group that put them there is crying foul.

For the past two weeks, City of Surrey bylaw officers have been taking down signs oppos-ing the ongoing transit referendum.

The city is spending up to $300,000 in taxpayer dollars to get out the ‘yes’ vote for a 0.5-per-cent hike in sales tax in order to pay

for better transit and transportation projects. Jordan Bateman, the B.C. director for the

Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation, has been working a spirited campaign against the plebiscite proposal – on a budget of $40,000.

Cities in the region and TransLink are spending upwards of $7 million to promote a ‘yes’ vote.

Bateman says Surrey is being heavy-handed in using bylaw officials to further hammer down his meagre campaign initiative.

“All of our signs are gone in Surrey unless they are on private property,” Bateman said. “We had a bunch near the Pattullo Bridge, we had some in the Green Timbers park area, a few on King George, a few on Fraser Highway.”

He believes the city could be taken to court over the signs’ removal, but he says his group has neither the time nor the money to take on a publicly funded municipality.

Residents say new development that’s resulting in older homes being left vacant for extended peri-ods of time is contributing to an increase in crime in South Surrey’s Grandview Heights neighbour-hood.

“Not necessarily people living in new development, but homes that have been left to decay, and a lot of crack houses… and just some sala-cious type of behaviour,” Victoria Blinkhorn, chair of the Grandview Heights Stewardship Association, explained.

But the residents are not simply sitting back waiting for authorities to deal with the problem.

Last month, about two dozen members of four Block Watch groups in the area – Country Woods, 31 Avenue, Grandview Heights and Grandview Acres – met to learn more about what they can do to get a handle on the issue, and prevent further problems.

It was “to give people informa-tion on how to make their homes less attractive to burglars,” Peter Tilbury, longtime captain of the Country Woods Block Watch, said Tuesday.

Police “are doing what they can. But they can’t be around every

place, 24 hours a day.”According to Surrey’s online

mapping system, COSMOS, 23 residential break-ins have been reported in the area bordered by 32 Avenue to the south, 170 Street to the east, 24 Avenue to the north and 161 Street to the west in the past six months. There were also nine vehicles stolen and seven theft-from-vehicle reports. Theft from and damage to community

mailboxes is also a regular occur-rence.

The March 27 event at the Kens-ington Prairie Community Centre included presentations on home-security options and crime-pre-vention programs – information one resident wishes she’d known about six months ago, so she could have addressed weaknesses in her home that enabled a thief to break in and clean out her jewelry last

November.“What they stole was irreplace-

able,” said Sybil Rowe, describing a collection she had amassed over the past 50 years.

The culprit gained access through a vulnerable exterior door, manag-ing, initially at least, to avoid set-ting off the senior’s burglar alarm. Inside for just five minutes after the alarm triggered, the aftermath for Rowe continues.

“I’m just now starting to feel nor-mal,” she said.

Tilbury – describing the Grand-view area as experiencing burglary incidents “quite frequently” – said he was surprised to learn just how vulnerable the exterior doors of many homes are.

Two years ago, he learned the hard way that sliding windows can also have their pitfalls.

Tracy Holmes photoJudy Kern, Murray McFadden, Sybil Rowe, Gary Cameron, Victoria Blinkhorn and Peter Tilbury are determined to strengthen their four communities.

newsSurrey bylaw prohibits being in civic green spaces after dark

A fight for the right to walk in the park

New Democrats, Greens also yet to announce nominees

Federal Liberals attract two aspiring candidates


A Surrey bylaw is under attack on the basis that it violates fundamental Canadian rights.

Christopher Lewis has been warned and tick-eted for walking in South Surrey parks at night.

The city has ramped up its enforcement of the bylaw, issuing 257 tickets in 2005 and 791 in 2013. Surrey’s manager of bylaws told Black Press that dropped down to 151 last year, but couldn’t explain the decrease right away.

Lewis says he likes to walk in the city’s green spaces to decompress after a day’s work, or to pace off sleeplessness.

He is taking the city to court over a section of Bylaw 13480, which prohibits being in a park after dark and levies a fine of $200.

Lewis has written a 10-page challenge of the bylaw, arguing it violates two sections of the

Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.In his challenge, Lewis contends the bylaw

violates Section 7, which ensures the right to “life, liberty and security,” and Section 9, which ensures the right not to be “arbitrarily detained or imprisoned.”

Lewis, who works as an inspector of pressur-ized pipes, said in his submission that people are being forced to travel on dark streets, at night, where being hit by a car is becoming increasingly likely. He contends that’s a viola-tion of Section 7.

The 27-year-old argues that every time people are stopped by police or bylaw officers, their right to freedom from being arbitrarily detained is being violated – a violation of Section 9.

Lewis, who does not have legal experience, cites case law to back up his arguments. In Regina v. Oakes (1986), Chief Justice Brian Dickson ruled

on proportional means. To that end: “the means must be rationally connected to the objective; there must be minimal impairment of rights (and) there must be proportionality between the infringement and the objective.”

Lewis believes the Surrey bylaw fails on all three counts.

“There is a complete lack of proportionality between the infringement and the objective,” the challenge says. “A blanket ban on everyone from parks at night is not rationally connected with just targeting vandalism.”

(Vandalism is often the rationale given for the necessity of the bylaw.)

Benjie Lee, the City of Surrey lawyer handling the case, said he can’t comment on the case as it’s before the courts.

Lewis and the city are back in Surrey Provin-cial Court on Tuesday, April 28.

Alex BrowneStaff Reporter

Two aspiring MP candidates have put their names forth to the South Surrey-White Rock Federal Liberal Riding Association for the fall federal election, scheduled for Oct. 19.

Social activist Joy Davies and philanthropist Dr. Peter N. Njenga have both announced they are seeking the nod from the associa-tion to run against Conservative candidate Dianne Watts, who hopes to replace retiring MP Russ Hiebert in the redistributed South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale riding.

Davies has been campaigning to run for the Liberals since last summer, while Njenga put his name forward last month.

Liberal riding association president Ginny Hasselfield confirmed this week that the asso-ciation – like its NDP and Green Party coun-terparts – has yet to endorse a candidate.

Davies, who describes herself as “a mom and a grandmother,” is a White Rock resi-dent. The former Tumbler Ridge and Grand Forks councillor has been known for her advocacy for medical cannabis use.

Born in Vancouver and educated in B.C.

and Toronto, Davies has held management positions in corporations; has founded a number of businesses; and was the former head of the entrepreneurial department at Vancouver Community College.

In discussing her reasons to run, Davies declined further comment but said she stands by statements she has made on a Facebook page seeking support for her nomination. That includes taking aim at Hiebert’s leadership over the past decade.

“I believe (the) riding has been poorly represented by the Conservative Party with rhetoric steeped in misguided ideology,” she states in her profile. “It’s time for change.

“I have watched with dismay the tearing down of Canada’s most important values, institutions and federal-provincial partner-ships. I have watched the move away from supporting the old, the ill and the poor and the criminalizing of the social sector.”

Davies told Peace Arch News her own conversations with Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau have given her confidence that the party is a good fit for her personal values.

“We need to have better representation,

even if that means differing from your leader,” she said. “He has said that (for MPs) you vote your con-science and your community – and you don’t get fired.”

Njenga, a Kenya-born South Sur-rey resident and United Church of Canada member, is an academic (formerly a faculty member at Kwantlen Polytechnic University), a public speaker and a professional accountant and auditor.

He created the Dr. Njenga Foun-dation of Sustainable HIV/AIDS Projects in 2009, which constructed an orphanage in Kenya that accom-modates and educates 23 children, and has also provided computers and books to two primary schools in Kenya that previously had none.

Last year, the foundation distrib-uted 1,060 food hampers and three tons of winter clothing and blankets to homeless people in Metro Vancouver.

“Charity begins at home,” Njenga told PAN, adding that “if I start something I have to do

it and see it through.” Njenga said he feels the riding

needs an MP who is “authentic, reachable and capable of address-ing grass-root issues that directly affect quality of life, with dedica-tion and passion. There has been a complete blockage of discussion. We have to be democratic – listen to people and consider the feelings of people. (Politicians) are public servants, after all.”

His key issues include housing and medical conditions, addressing hospital over-capacity, the need for expansion of facilities and mental-health problems.

Njenga is also concerned with environmental issues for the rid-ing – including the protection of beaches and rerouting of dangerous train cargo – while, on the eco-nomic level, he calls for questioning

of the price differential between the U.S. and Canada charged by multinational corpora-tions.

Surrey’s manager of bylaw enforcement Jas Rehal confirmed officers had taken down about 20 signs from public property in the city over the past two weeks.

Mayor Linda Hepner said the signs had to come down because they were in direct contravention of city bylaws.

“They can go on private prop-erty, just not on public-space property,” Hepner told Black Press Wednesday.

The City of Surrey sign bylaw does include language that per-mits signs in public spaces dur-ing elections.

Asked if the ‘no’ signs would qualify, as Elections BC is over-seeing the transit referendum, Hepner said no.

“I would think not, it’s a plebi-scite, not an election,” Hepner said.

The city is renting advertising space on bus shelters in public spaces promoting the ‘yes’ vote, which Hepner said Bateman’s group is also entitled to do.

There is a “vote yes” sign in the window of city hall, which is also public property.

“On city hall, yes,” Hepner said. “I don’t think you can define the ‘yes’ sign on city hall property the same way you can define the ‘no’ sign on public rights-of-way.”

Johal said there have been no requests to put up a ‘no’ sign at city hall.

Asked if ‘no’ campaigners would be allowed to post a sign if

they asked, Rehal said “we would review that request accordingly.”

Bateman wrote Hepner and the city on Wedensday morning, lodging a complaint and asking for equal space in public facilities.

“Despite the proliferation of hundreds of non-conforming, illegal and ugly signs throughout Surrey, ours were singled out for near-instant removal,” Bateman says in his email to Hepner. “We believe this is an inappropriate political statement by City of Surrey staff, fueled by your sup-port for the TransLink tax.”

He said the ‘no’ side should have equal space in taxpayer-funded facilities.

“Fairness is a key tenet in any campaign. TransLink and vari-ous local governments, including your own, are spending $7 mil-lion in taxpayer money to push for the TransLink tax,” Bateman said in the email. “We believe a

few lawn signs and posters, paid for voluntarily by No TransLink Tax supporters with their after-tax dollars, should be allowed.”

He said because of the tight timeline – ballots are due back by May 29 – he would appreciate a response immediately.

Hepner said she understands the optics of Surrey taking down the ‘no’ signs, seeing as the city is supporting the ‘yes’ side.

“I can certainly see how it could be interpreted that way,” Hepner said. “That’s not the way I would interpret it.”

She said the ‘no’ side should col-lect its signs that were taken and put them on private property.

“If they can find a store that will put up the ‘no’ signs, nobody is going to have any trouble with that at all,” Hepner said.

She said the ‘yes’ campaign is going well, with the abiding chal-lenge being to get the message out to voters.

That message is that about 45 per cent of the transit benefits contained in the proposal will be coming south of the Fraser, with the bulk of them in Surrey.

“I hope (voters) realize that the cost is going to happen regard-less down the road,” Hepner said. “Whether that be ‘I’m stuck for an extra length of time in traffic,’ or whether that is ‘I can’t get there at all, because the service isn’t there’.”

She also understands the ‘yes’ campaign is an “uphill struggle” and that a lot of taxpayers face financial constraints.

The number of transit tax ref-erendum ballots that have been received and initially processed by Elections BC is up to eight per cent as of this week.

The nearly 125,000 tallied by Wednesday continue to be mainly from voters in Vancouver and Surrey – the initial cities that received the ballots for what Elections BC officials called effi-ciency reasons.

The return rate by municipal-ity as of April 8 is 17.8 per cent in Vancouver, 12.2 per cent in Richmond, 8.1 per cent in Sur-rey and 5.3 per cent each in both Burnaby and Coquitlam.

More ballots have arrived but

aren’t yet included in the count, Elections BC spokesman Don Main said.

The ballots counted are ones in which Elections BC has opened the outer yellow return envelope and verified that the voter’s sig-nature and birth date is on the next certification envelope.

Observers from both the ‘yes’ and ‘no’ campaigns have said it’s not unexpected for many munic-ipalities to show no results for the first few weekly counts until more ballots trickle in.

“Three or four weeks from today, we should have a much clearer picture of turnout,” said ‘no’ campaigner Jordan Bate-man. “These early returns grossly under-report voters outside Van-

couver, simply because other communities received their bal-lots later.”

Metro voters are being asked to approve or reject an increase in the provincial sales tax in the region from the current 7.0 per cent to 7.5 per cent in order to fund a $7.5 billion package of mainly transit upgrades over 10 years.

The planned upgrades include a Broadway subway, light rail in Surrey, a new Pattullo Bridge, new B-line express bus routes across the region and a 25 per cent general bus service lift.

Anyone who has not received a voting package can call Elections BC at 1-800-661-8683 or go to elections.bc.ca/ovr by May 15.

Voting ends May 29.

Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

A special White Rock coun-cil meeting called to address the controversy over the city’s decision to privatize multifam-ily solid-waste pickup lasted less than four minutes Tuesday, much to the chagrin of a dozen residents in attendance.

The meeting, requested last month by Couns. Helen Fathers and David Chesney, was almost immediately adjourned, as Mayor Wayne Baldwin asserted at a public-information meeting last week.

As soon as the topic of solid-waste collection was addressed, Coun. Grant Meyer put forth a motion to adjourn the meet-ing until all councillors could

be present, noting Couns. Lynne Sinclair and Megan Knight were out of town until later in the week.

“Given this topic has such public interest, I think it would be preferable and beneficial to have as many council members present as possible,” Meyer said. “If we wait three days, we can receive the information together as a group and move forward.”

Meyer’s motion – to adjourn the special meeting until today (Fri-day) – was supported by Coun. Bill Lawrence and Baldwin, however, Fathers and Chesney opposed the move.

“I feel we have a quorum pres-ent at the time being and we could have discussions and move forward,” Fathers said. “So I’m

not going to support the motion that’s on the floor.”

After the motion passed and the meeting was adjourned, a handful of residents in atten-dance stood and shouted their disapproval at the mayor, in the presence of a CBC News crew.

While Meyer, Fathers and city staff left council chambers, Chesney watched as Baldwin and Lawrence stayed behind for more than 20 minutes to listen to the attendees’ concerns, many of which were echoed sentiments from last week’s public-informa-tion meeting.

Today’s followup special council meeting was set to take place at 1 p.m. in council chambers. It will also be live-streamed on the city’s website at www.whiterockcity.ca

Temperance advocates notwithstanding, the appearance of wine on grocery store shelves in B.C. is not the signal of

Armageddon.Nor will be, we predict, the anticipated addition

of full-service liquor stores in grocery stores.It is well past time that B.C. took a look

at reforming archaic and restrictive liquor regulations that have kept it out of step with the rest of the world and have tended to automatically assume the guilt of all on the basis of the acts of some.

We must grant some freedom of choice among consumers in a democratic society, no matter how much we would like to preclude the acts of wrong-doers. Prohibition, however well-intended, has long been recognized as a failed experiment.

The availability of wine, beer and liquor in grocery and convenience stores in Europe and the U.S. has not led to a general unravelling of civilization there.

Granted, there are problems that have always been connected with consumption of alcohol. But as German legislators pointed out – when some called recently for increased regulation of alcohol sales in what is considered one of the most liberal drinking jurisdictions in the EU – existing laws already prohibit criminal behaviour.

Simply put, it is legal, within restraints already established, to buy and consume alcohol.

But criminal acts – including operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol – are still criminal acts, liable to full prosecution.

Perhaps our resources would be best spent on enforcement of existing laws, rather than extending a morass of regulation.

The sky-is-falling argument has been advanced at each stumbling step B.C. has taken to modernize its liquor laws, ever since prohibition (introduced in B.C. in 1917) was revoked in 1920.

Bizarre restrictive regulation that followed created the cheerless, no entertainment, no-food beer parlours that characterized B.C. through the Depression and beyond. It is now almost unbelievable to reflect that cocktail lounges weren’t even legal in B.C. until 1954.

At the same time such restrictions were in place, bootleggers, and even, it is rumoured, some government officials, got very rich indeed from the plethora of red tape.

Some 60 years later we are only just emerging from the last vestiges of this misguided paternalism. It’s time that B.C.’s government – which benefits to the tune of close to $1 billion in liquor revenues per year – treated consumers of alcohol like the adults they are under the law.

Liquor reform a long time coming

Published at South Surrey by Black Press Ltd.

opinionPeace Arch News

Surrey RCMP has received 34 cadets from the RCMP training facility in Regina, as of the end of March.

There are still 100 more to come. The RCMP expects that most of them will be in place by the end of this year.

There was much discussion of adding additional police officers during the municipal election last fall. Winning mayoralty candidate Linda Hepner pledged that 100 would be added, and taxes have been raised to help pay for this significant expansion. The police strength is set to go up by about 12 per cent in one year.

More RCMP officers in Surrey are welcome, and long overdue. Chief Supt. Bill Fordy says many will be placed on general duty, with others in traffic. These officers are the most visible, and police visibility is badly needed in many parts of Surrey.

In the first three months of 2015, there were a string of drive-by shootings, gang retaliation shootings, several murders and a significant amount of mayhem on the roads. This includes the deaths of a woman who was riding a scooter, and a homeless man pushing a shopping cart. Both were struck by vehicles on busy streets, and were killed.

The community of Newton remains fearful about the safety of people. Concerns about unlicensed drug recovery homes remain. Surrey’s population continues to increase

significantly.There are many other reasons

there needs to be far more police officers visible on the streets, and ready to respond to emergencies.

This is a very big and very busy city, and the needs of the community grow more complex each year.

One example is homelessness, which has gone from being a fringe issue to being extremely visible in some areas. The response to it from all levels of government has been

underwhelming.The whole area of policing has been

poorly handled by Surrey council for many years. Politicians have been more concerned about keeping taxes low than having enough police to deal with the needs of a growing community.

Given that Surrey is a young community demographically, and that young people are often disproportionately involved in crimes, both as victims and perpetrators, this is

unacceptable.A string of horrific crimes in 2013 and

2014 focused public attention on the acute shortage of police, and thankfully, all three major mayoralty candidates put a lot of emphasis on the issue. The issues around crime, and the three-way race for mayor, brought more people out to the polls.

Since the election, there have been few complaints about paying more money for more police.

Much more needs to be done. There needs to be much more emphasis on crime prevention, neighbourhood programs, youth engagement and anti-gang measures.

Many of the community approaches do not require police officers, or at least not too many of them.

There are many people in the city who are happy to volunteer and make Surrey a safer place.

The RCMP, city council and the city government in general needs to take advantage of the high level of public interest in reducing crime and making Surrey a better place. It’s good that more police are on the way, but in the meantime, proactive approaches to crime prevention can be initiated.

Such programs, when they work closely with police, can make a substantial difference.

No one wants to feel fearful when they leave their homes, or even within them. It’s up to the whole community to make Surrey significantly safer.

These days, dogs are considered ‘part of the family’ and, as such, are included in outdoor activities in the park or even on restaurant patios.

Apologize for headlineEditor:Re: Chinese fraud case hits White Rock, April 2.

It was with chagrin, irritation, sadness and eventual anger that I pondered your April 2 headline identifying a cultural/national group, in “connection” to a fraud case in White Rock, when you would never say Canadian or American fraud case hits White Rock.

The author, a longtime advocate and tireless supporter of the arts in White Rock, should know better; your newspaper, too.

The denial of 376 Indians on the ship Komagata Maru permission to land in Vancouver was in 1914. The head tax on Chinese was long ago abolished, in 1923. The Korematsu vs. United States decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, sustaining the legality of the internment of Japanese, was in 1944. Of course, Canada, too, sustained this (later found) illegal abridgment of civil rights.

Aboriginal Canadians were finally granted the right to vote in… 1960. The last Canadian residential school, which enfranchised the undermining of the Aboriginal people in shameful schools reflecting forced cultural genocide, was (finally) closed in 1996...yes, 1996!

Today, we are understandably embarrassed by our earlier systematic and pervasive prejudice towards these groups.

While we have attempted to make legal restitution or at least acknowledgement of these wrongs of the past, we still hold onto such depictions of Chinese or Japanese or East Indian or Aboriginals, and other minorities, in varied media depictions across our nation.

These are a clear and undignified assault on the (supposed) rights of non-discrimination we claim to hold dear.

While we all know that vestiges of discrimination will last as long as there are people who lead with intolerance, that does not excuse our Fifth Estate from leading us in a proactive way toward tolerance.

Frankly, that is historically one of the purposes of the media, albeit not as present today as it should be. But you can choose to help lead us out of the darkness, as we can all do our part to spread inclusion over exclusion. Not that it is easy.

It is long since time newspapers and other media outlets stop reinforcing the shame of the past… over and over.

I look forward to an apology for your headline and policies in the future which reflect forward thinking over shameful attitudes of the past.

“It is not enough that we do our best; sometimes we must do what is required.” – Winston S. Churchill.

Thank you.Steven Faraher-Amidon, Surrey

Editor’s note: The headline – written by me, not the reporter – refers to the fact that the fraud alleged by Chinese and U.S. officials originated in Henan, China’s third most populous province.

Wrong area for large trucksEditor: Re: Parking solution ‘overdue,’ March 17.

Do you think Surrey alone has a truck-parking problem?

Just look at White Rock’s beautiful town centre. Isn’t it gorgeous?

These diesel trucks start their

noisy warmup period any time between 5 and 6:30 a.m. on weekday mornings. Bylaws informed the complainant: “These people have to park somewhere.”

No, I don’t think the city is responsible to provide parking for business vehicles.

Parking facilities of this type should not be allowed in a heavily populated residential area. They belong in an industrial park.Ernie Brauer, White Rock

File photoNeither side seems happy with the way in which White Rock’s no-dogs bylaw is being enforced on the waterfront.

Editor:I have noticed a sharp increase in the number of dogs

on the beach, pier and promenade in the last few months. Weekends on the beach are fast becoming the most

popular toilet spot for dog owners to vacate their pets’ bladders and bowels. It is difficult to observe off-leash dogs chasing wildlife off their food sources along the tideline, much to the delight of their owners.

Once one owner walks past the ‘no dogs’ signs, the rest then use the excuse that there are others in the restricted areas. I called city hall to inquire about the lack of bylaw enforcement. We used to have a very effective individual that politely and firmly enforced bylaws intended to keep our beach off limits to dogs, cyclists and skateboards.

White Rock has but one primary asset – the beach. It should be clean and safe for the public to enjoy.

Dogs are both a human health hazard and a human safety hazard and have no place on the beach. I have read extremely disingenuous claims by dog owners of their conscientious habit of picking up after their dogs. Or, my dog would lick you before it would bite you. These claims belie even minimum intellect of the owners.

The mess left on public property is hazardous waste in the same category as toxic chemicals and oil. It contains: E-coli, hookworms, roundworms, ringworms, tapeworms, parovirus and salmonella. These parasites cause disease to the brain, lungs, kidneys, liver, heart and eyes. It lingers in the soil for years.

The cutesy plastic bags tied to leashes prove nothing, as most have never been taken off unless they are being watched. I have witnessed dogs pooping on the beach and the owners taking a handful of sand and covering it up. In the evenings, locals show up, dogs off-leash, running loose and defecating wherever they please.

If the City Of White Rock can fine a resident $500 for leaving a vacuum cleaner beside the cardboard disposal box on Keil Street, they certainly could raise the fine for ignoring the dog bylaws to $1,000/1,500.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has found that a bay with 20 miles of shoreline with a population of 100 dogs raises the fecal-coliform count above safe bathing levels in two to three days. Our beach suffers more dog visits with a smaller shoreline.

I am sure White Rock will never take steps to test the water for fear of hurting the feelings of dog owners. Or it will be the same process of testing air particulates while the coal trains are being re-routed through Abbotsford.

We lost access to the ‘whale’ park because of dog owners ignoring private-property rights and desecrating the fields with dog feces. Do we have to turn our beach over to the same disease-ridden parasites, compliments of city hall?L. Veitch, White Rock

Editor:White Rock beach has been known to be a tourist

destination. However, judging from my last experience, I struggle to believe that this will continue to be true in the near future, because of this simple fact: dogs are vehemently unwelcome at White Rock beach.

When I brought my dog to White Rock beach one day, it was not the enforced bylaw that surprised me, but the negative attitude from people. Three times I was approached by strangers informing me quite aggressively about how my dog was not allowed on the promenade. On the third time, I shared my surprise by stating that Vancouver allows dogs in every tourist destination, at which point the man replied: “If dogs were allowed on the pier, everybody would be doing it.”

But isn’t that the confusion here? People are doing it everywhere. We live in a society that invites, welcomes and accommodates all social norms, and as long as they are behaved, that invitation extends to our furry companions as well. In places that are considered tourist destinations, such as Kitsilano, Granville Island, Gastown and even at the Capilano Suspension Bridge, establishments are recognizing the influences responsible dog owners have on businesses.

These days, dogs are considered ‘part of the family’ and, as such, are included in outdoor activities in the park or even on restaurant patios. Further, influential businesses are allowing office dogs in the workplace, an environment that is known to be extremely traditional. Nevertheless, they integrate these canine additions into their work environment. So then, why can’t White Rock?

The reason behind the bylaw was because of the few irresponsible dog owners who refuse to pick up after their dogs. However, there are other solutions available.

For instance, Steveston is an extremely populated area, and it is quite similar to that of White Rock, yet the boardwalk is entirely dog-friendly. With the hydrating stations and the friendly locals, it is hard to imagine a friendlier place for my pooch. With the abundance of poop bags available, there is no excuse for dog owners to forget to pick up after their dog.

With so many other opportunities to enjoy the outdoors with my dog, it does not seem likely for me to return to White Rock. Why pay for the parking when I can go to Crescent Beach and enjoy their shorelines there? Why risk a fine when I can bring my dog to Kitsilano, Steveston Village or anywhere in North Van?

The appeal White Rock once had has been diminished by the other destinations where families can go for a richer experience – an experience that decidedly includes that furry family member.April Kelly, Surrey

Two views on dogs at the beach

The individual who broke into his home at around 5 p.m. on a Friday was only in the house for two or three minutes, but was able to leave with “all my wife’s jewelry, her mother’s jewelry, her grandmother’s…,” Tilbury said.

“When they actually caught her, which was a few days later, she was charged with 14 break-ins.”

As a Block Watch captain, Til-bury is advised any time there’s an incident in his neighbour-hood. He disseminates the infor-mation to ensure all Country Woods residents are in the know.

The most recent alert came this past Monday, after an individual on a BMX was spotted seemingly casing for break-in opportuni-ties – checking doors and look-ing in windows. The stranger is described as a Caucasian male, with spikey, blond hair and car-rying a black backpack.

Tilbury said a good way for res-

idents to identify weaknesses in their home’s security is to look at the issue from the opposite side of the coin: think like a criminal.

“(They) should take a look at their houses, not as though they live in them but as though they want to break into them,” he said.

He described the Block Watch system as one that has “defi-nitely” made the Grandview Heights area safer, and encour-aged residents of other neigh-bourhoods to follow suit.

Both Rowe and Tilbury said they had hoped more of their neigh-bours would have attended last month’s meeting. Rowe had even gone door-to-door to encourage them to attend – “I wanted to get a community spirit operating.”

She noted that one resident who opted against was a victim of crime just a week later. Oth-ers who declined told her “we’re alright, thank you,” she said.

But that complacency is “the

biggest mistake” people can make today, Rowe said.

“I had a monitored burglar sys-tem, I had dogs in the house, I had the best deadbolts in the world – I thought I was home-free,” she said. “I was guilty of complacency and because of that, I suffered a terrible loss.”

Blinkhorn said the four groups in the Grandview Heights area work together to strengthen the community and encourage resi-dents to look out for each other, and the stewardship group main-tains a website of resources that anyone can access (www.grand-viewstewardship.org).

The Block Watch groups’ next meeting – a date yet to be set – will be open to anyone interested in learning more about Block Watch and how to contribute to the safety of their community.

Officers conducted 11 searches in Surrey, Vancouver, New West-

minster, Coquitlam and Maple Ridge on March 11 following a six-month investigation – dubbed Project Trooper – that’s expected to result in charges against nearly a dozen accused.

It was the latest in a series of initiatives to target the trade in

deadly fentanyl, an opioid pain-killer that has triggered a spike in fatal overdoses across the region.

The drugs seized are worth an estimated $1.8 million and included more than 20 kilograms of cocaine, 12 kg of methamphet-amine and 1.6 kg of heroin.

As many as 15 per cent of B.C. seniors in residential care could have more independence with assisted liv-ing or community-care support, B.C.’s seniors advocate says.

In her third report, released this week, seniors advo-cate Isobel Mackenzie also compared statistics for B.C. seniors in home and resi-dential care with those in Alberta and Ontario, finding B.C. patients are prescribed more anti-psychotic drugs and receive less physiother-apy and recreation therapy than other provinces.

Mackenzie said the poten-tial overuse of residential care is “troubling on a couple of fronts” with the shortage of residential-care beds for high-needs seniors.

“Most seniors would prefer to live independently than in residential care and so we want to ensure all supports and alternative living arrangements are exhausted before we move some-one to residential care,” Mackenzie said. “If we are filling even five per cent of these scarce beds with folks who could live independently, that is 1,500 beds that could open up province-wide.”

Health Minister Terry Lake said the

ministry is aware of the problems highlighted by the report, and is put-ting more resources toward home care and community health services, with spending up $1.2 billion to $2.8 billion since 2001.

Lake said B.C. has two pro-grams underway to deal with overprescription of medica-tions in care facilities. One is a training program for staff to more accurately determine psychiatric signs, and the other is working with doc-tors and pharmacists to find behavioural alternatives to anti-psychotic drugs.

Mackenzie’s review is based on assessment surveys given to B.C.’s 25,000 seniors in

residential care and 29,000 home-care clients. It found that a third of residential-care patients are being prescribed antipsychotic medication, but only four per cent have been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder. Antidepressants are administered to almost twice as many patients as have that diagnosis.

The survey found 12 per cent of seniors in B.C. residential care received physiotherapy, compared to 25 per cent in Alberta and 58 per cent in Ontario. Recreational therapy was also more widely used in Alberta than B.C.

Delay dementia—could hearing aids be the answer?Seniors who have untreated hearing loss

may be at an increased risk for develop-

ing dementia, a loss of brain function that

can affect memory, thinking, language,

of a study conducted by researchers from

the Division of Otology at Johns Hopkins

University School of Medicine.

The study included 639 people whose

hearing and cognitive abilities were tested over a period of time, starting in 1990 and concluding in 2008. Researchers found that study participants who had hearing loss at the beginning of the study were

-mentia by the end of the study. How might hearing loss and dementia be connected? Investigators aren’t sure, but they think a common pathology may underlie both con-ditions, or possibly the strain of decoding sounds over the years may overwhelm the brains of people with hearing loss, leaving them more vulnerable to dementia.

The article concludes that, whatever the

point for further research as to whether in-terventions, even as simple as hearing aids, could delay or prevent dementia by

improving patients’ hearing.

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Lauren CollinsBlack Press

Twenty-one years ago, with high school graduation mere weeks away, 18-year-old John

Westhaver was doing what many teens do this time of year: looking forward to the end of the school year.

On April 29, 1994, Westhaver and three of his friends were driving down a highway in New Brunswick. Westhaver and two others had been drinking, but the friend behind the wheel had stayed sober.

The driver, however, was travelling 50 km/h over the speed limit and lost control. The car hit a telephone pole and was engulfed in flames.

Westhaver managed to make it out of the vehicle, but the other three were not so lucky.

Westhaver was the sole survivor – but barely. He was charred black by the fire and suffered life-threatening burns to 75 per cent of his body.

Doctors at the hospital’s burn unit in Saint John believed he wasn’t going to make it. They put him into a medically induced coma and his body shut down several times.

When he finally woke up, his family and physicians wouldn’t let him see his face for two weeks because they wanted him to focus on healing.

Westhaver talked about his experience in front of a rapt crowd at a Newton’s École Gabrielle Roy last month as part of the launch of ICBC’s road safety speaker tour. From March to June, special guest speakers are talking to high school students throughout the region ahead of graduation season about the importance of making safe driving choices. The personal stories aim to have youth think twice before taking risks while in the driver’s seat.

According to ICBC and police data, on average, two youths aged 16 to 21 are killed and 1,120 are injured in

crashes from April to June every year in the Lower Mainland. On average, between 2009 and 2013, 42 per cent of young drivers in fatal crashes were speeding, 31 per cent were impaired and 25 per cent were distracted.

Westhaver has been doing presentations since 2002 and said he’s the first to admit he looks different.

“If you don’t notice me in a crowd, there’s something wrong,” said the six-foot-two man with a laugh.

Westhaver said his burns and scars are good way to capture students’ attention.

“When they first experience me, they take a look and go, ‘whoa, why does this guy look different?’” he

said. “That’s great because I’m able to captivate them right away and share my story and what I’ve been through and then share ways that they can keep safe.”

He said it’s taken a long time to get to this point,

but he said his life today “rocks.”Grade 11 student Ashley Palencia

said it’s amazing Westhaver is willing to tell his story.

“I think it impacted lots of people because we’re in the age right now where we’re about to get our (driver’s) licence,” Palencia said.

Diana Reyes, a 17-year-old student, said it’s jarring to see how a life can change so quickly.

“As young kids, we think that nothing can happen to us… You know it can happen to your family members and your friends and even yourself,” Reyes said.

Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said it’s important for teens to develop safe driving habits early.

“We get involved with these kind of initiatives because we recognize the fact these are the next generations of drivers,” Paquet said.

ICBC’s speaker tour will visit several more Surrey schools between now and June.

To celebrate 20 years of community support, Sources Community Resource Centre will be flashing back to the Roaring ’20s this weekend.

Foot-tapping jazz, the foxtrot and sequined flapper dresses and pin-striped suits can be expected at Sources’ 20th anniversary fundraising gala at Hazelmere Golf & Country Club Saturday evening.

“What people can be guaranteed is that they will have a good time,” said Sources executive director David Young. “Over the past seven years that I’ve been with Sources, each gala seems to get more fun.”

The sold-out event will be hosted by Carmen Ruiz y Laza, host of CarmenTV on the Joy TV network.

This year’s gala will feature entertainment from Peninsula Productions, who will have an array of skits, performances and games to keep everyone laughing throughout the evening.

There are a number of live auction items up for grabs, Young noted, including a seven-day cruise and a River Rock Hotel Casino entertainment package, plus numerous silent-auction items.

Fraser Downs, the event’s live-

auction sponsor, will be providing casino tables so attendees can test their hand at blackjack.

Funds from this year’s gala will go towards Sources’ homeless-prevention program, which provides support and advocacy for people who are homeless or at risk of being homeless. Support can include helping clients communicate with government ministries, mediating landlord disputes, completing paperwork for various assistance programs and more.

Earlier this year, Sources learned that it was losing $200,000 in federal funding for its homeless-prevention programs, leaving the non-profit organization to dip into its reserve funds.

“The homeless-prevention program serves upwards of 1,000 people per year in White Rock, Surrey, Langley and Delta,” Young explained. “It’s a really important program because if you can keep people in their homes, rather than trying got find them a home when they’re living on the street, it’s better for everybody involved.”

The group has set an “ambitious target” of $100,000 that they hope to raise at this weekend’s gala.

“We are fortunate that we live in a community that is incredibly civic-minded,” he said, noting there has been a lot of interest from residents and businesses who want to lend a hand addressing homelessness.

“This is an issue that concerns them. They see homeless people on the streets on a daily basis and they’re worried about what’s happening to those folks.”

Though gala tickets are already sold out, a wait list has been set up for anyone still hoping to attend; to put your name on the wait list, email [email protected] or call 604-542-7593.

Anyone wishing to make a donation to support the homeless-prevention program can do so by mail (882 Maple St., White Rock, V4B 4M2) or online at www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/pacs-foundation/

More than seven decades after exchanging wedding vows, a Peninsula couple say their secret to a happy marriage is quite simple.

“It’s a lot of give. And you take, but a lot of give,” said Marjorie Radford, who celebrated 70 years of marriage to her husband, George, last month. “And that’s it, really.”

The couple were joined by about 80 friends and family members March 7 at the Sea

Ridge Bays mobile home park clubhouse to celebrate the milestone anniversary.

The two met on a blind date in Halifax in

1944; George was in the navy and Marjorie in the army.

They were engaged on Jan. 1, 1945 and married, in uniform, a short time later on March 3, 1945.

When the war ended and they were discharged, the newlyweds moved to the west coast and settled in George’s hometown of White Rock.

His family roots ran deep on the Semiahmoo Peninsula – his grandfather was pioneer settler H.T. Thrift.

The Radfords went on to have a daughter and a son, four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Looking back on 70 years of marriage, George, 97, reflected,

“It was simple. I don’t think we had an argument along the way!”

“Oh, we had lots of them,” Marjorie, 91, interjected with a laugh.

“I once read that you should never go to bed mad, and always say goodnight and good morning. So, we did.”

Contributed photosGeorge and Marjorie Radford on their wedding day, March 3, 1945 (left) and at their 70th anniversary celebration March 7.

The Canadian Cancer Society is a national, community-based organization of volunteers whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer.

Each day, the society has hundreds of volunteers who support the mission and vision of the Canadian Cancer Society. Volunteers work on projects in three priority areas: prevention, support and research, as well as support the fundraising efforts of the Canadian Cancer Society.

Why do people volunteer? According to Volunteer Canada, the number-one reason is “to contribute to my community.” Volunteers want to hear about the difference they are making and the impact of their efforts.

In the Fraser Valley alone, there are 4,000 registered volunteers who contributed more than 62,000 hours in 2014 to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Volunteers’ actions go beyond the here and now and affect future generations, according to the society. Their courage, caring nature and integrity go far in ensuring that no Canadian fears cancer.

The Canadian Cancer Society has six community offices in the Fraser Valley. These hubs of activity are run by volunteers. Calls are transferred by a friendly volunteer; donations are recognized by a thankful volunteer; and campaign supplies are assembled courtesy of a hard-working volunteer.

Each year, hundreds of volunteers of all ages support the work of the Canadian Cancer Society and together create a strong national organization. Through the support of generous donors and many dedicated volunteers the Canadian Cancer Society is able have a huge impact in the fight against cancer.

In January, the society funded 312 lead scientists in research projects that cover biomedical research, prevention and quality of life. These ‘gold-standard’ projects advance the mission by funding

research aimed at reducing the incidence of cancer, reducing cancer mortality and enhancing the quality of life of those living with and beyond cancer.

The society says

it couldn’t do this without volunteers and generous donors.

Statistics indicate that one in four Canadians will be affected by cancer. It is not hard to imagine that every Canadian Cancer

Society volunteer has been touched by the disease.

Society volunteers comprise cancer survivors who thrive, caregivers who keep on fighting and friends and community residents who stand in support of neighbours and friends.

This month, society volunteers are out and about, doing door-to-door canvassing, and with daffodil pins – the society’s symbol of hope and courage – outside coffee shops and local businesses.

Volunteers who dedicate time to improving safety on local roads are being thanked for their efforts this month, as part of National Volunteer Week (April 12-18).

According to an ICBC news release, volunteers across the province spent more than 139,000 hours last year delivering such programs as Cell Watch, Lock Out Auto Crime, Stolen Auto Recovery and Speed Watch.

In Surrey, White Rock and Delta, they spent 1,400 hours on distracted-driving programs and 6,400 hours manning radar and speed-reader boards to show motorists

how fast they’re travelling. They also put more than 41,500 “tickets”

on vehicle windshields offering drivers tips to protect themselves from becoming a victim of auto crime; and, checked more than 230,000 vehicles to look for signs of theft and help identify stolen vehicles.

Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg said the initiatives would not be possible without the volunteers’ efforts.

“Your commitment to strengthening the safety of your community will undoubtedly inspire others to do more,” Hogg said in the release.

A South Surrey business that took a Honduran optometry clinic under its wing seven years ago has once again donated equipment to help their distant colleagues better care for their patients’ vision.

Dr. Michelle Elliott said Spectrum Optometry has assisted the ZOE Health Clinic in Tegucigalpa with training for its optometrists, opticians and the clinic manager over the years, as well as provided medical equipment on several occasions.

This year, an automated edger (a machine to cut optical lenses so they fit the spectacle frame), a slitlamp (a microscope used for fitting contact lenses), used glasses,

312 new lenses and 300 new frames were shipped south.

The edger was refurbished by Cascade Optical, the used glasses were donated by Spectrum patients, the lenses were donated by Nikon Canada and the frames were donated by the University of Waterloo.

“All the glasses will be given to Honduran

people who cannot afford to purchase glasses,” Elliott said in an email this week to Peace Arch News.

She added that the Rotary Club of White Rock paid to ship the equipment, and the Rotary Club of Tegucigalpa helped ensure the gifts – valued at $13,000 – arrived safely at their destination.

Question: I have never been much for the life of people

who lived their whole life working their hearts out, so even when I was a teenager I did lots of illegal stuff. I mostly was not caught, but sometimes I was careless and did some time. My parents were pretty understanding and helped me out of lots of jams over the years, then I had a couple of kids which I found

a nancial burden, and I left their care to their mother. Over time my parents often stepped in to help my kids nancially, and over time I was in their bad book. They died within a couple of months of each other and I phoned one of my sisters to see when I got my share of the estate. She said I will get nothing. My parents signed an “alter ego” trust, in which she, my other sister and my kids are the only bene ciaries. I thought my parents were legally obligated to give me part of their estate. Can I sue?

Answer: Nope. The Wills Variation Act applies only to wills and an alter ego trust is not a will. You have no

chance, forget it.NEW CLIENTS WELCOME

EEEEEEE!!!!!


A White Rock business owner is lending a hand – and a paw – to the Peninsula family whose Marine Drive shop was destroyed by a fire last month.

Megan Ferris, owner of Dog Utopia Daycare & Spa, plans to donate 50 per cent of the proceeds from nail-trim services for the next month to Jose and Eliete Dos Santos.

The family was left scrambling to find a new beachfront location for their Gelateria Italia

& Coffee Shop after a March 10 fire gutted the building.

Ferris also plans to hold a fundraising event later in the month and is asking other business owners who would like to be involved to contact her at [email protected] or 604-541-8120.

A fundraising webpage that was set up to help the family get back on their feet has raised $1,125 since it was launched March 30.

Baby (primary) teeth play a big role in your child’s speech development, nutrition and create space for adult teeth to develop correctly. Limit sugary food and drinks and clean your baby’s mouth

YOUR CHILD’S BABY TEETH CAN LAST UNTIL THEY’RE 14 YEARS OLD.

◾ Caring for the mouth starts early. Begin by cleaning your baby’s mouth using a wet cloth and gently wiping the gums to remove any leftover milk or formula from the mouth.

◾ Brush your child’s teeth as soon as the fi rst tooth appears and make sure you lift the lip to brush along the gum line. Young children cannot clean their own teeth. Brush for them when they are very young and with them as they grow older.

◾ Use a soft toothbrush. Choose an appropriate size for the age of the child.

◾ Make brushing fun and develop a routine: brush at a specifi c time (after a bath or before a book); in a specifi c location (mom’s knee); or with specifi c cues (music, counting).

◾ Use a small amount of fl uoride tooth- paste to protect the teeth from cavities. Children under the age of 3 should only use a smear (size of a grain of rice) while those over 3 can use a pea-sized amount. Encourage your children to spit out the tooth- paste.

◾ Cavity-causing bacteria can transfer from your mouth to your child’s. Avoid sharing soothers, toothbrushes or other items with your child.

◾ Regardless of age, discourage graz- ing on sugary foods and drinks throughout the day or overnight. For instance, constant and slow sip- ping on milk-fi lled bottles or sippy cups with juice, keeps sugars in the mouth and can lead to cavities—fi ll them with water instead.

◾ Choose healthy snacks such as cheese, fruit or nuts. What’s good for the body is good for the mouth.

◾ The earlier a dental problem is found, the easier it is to fi x. Check your child’s mouth and visit the dentist regularly.

◾ Look in your child’s mouth for signs of disease such as brown or yellow spots on the teeth. Other signs that your child may be suffering from dental disease include: trouble sleeping; diffi culty concentrating; and, avoiding certain foods, such as cold drinks and foods.

◾ The fi rst dental visit should take place by age one or within six months of when you see the fi rst tooth. Through regular examinations your dentist will monitor the development of your child’s teeth and gums to catch problems early and prevent disease. Starting dental visits early can also improve your child’s comfort with visiting the dentist.

Remember, children learn by example: if you look after your own teeth and gums, your children will too.

Baby teeth are important tooKeeping your child’s baby teeth healthy and strong is important to their oral

and overall health and development. Baby teeth begin to appear around 6 months and can last until a child is 13 or 14. They are an important part of your child’s nutrition, speech development, self-confi dence and play a signifi cant role in the placement of permanent adult teeth.

Without proper care and attention children can suffer from dental decay (cavi-ties). Decay is caused when sugars in the mouth mix with plaque bacteria to create an acid that can destroy tooth enamel. The longer sugar is in the mouth, the more acid is produced, increasing the risk of cavities.

Dental decay is painful—it can lead to infection and tooth loss. Children with dental disease may also have trouble sleeping, diffi culty concentrating and suffer emotional distress—feeling bad about the way they look.

Dental disease is not always recognizable. Pain is usually a sign there is a prob-lem but very young children are not able to explain when they are in pain.

The good news is that dental disease is preventable. Establishing healthy habits from an early age, including regular dental exams, can start your child on the path to good oral health.

Set your child up for good dental health:

For more ways to help your child benefi t from good dental health, talk to your dentist or visit yourdentalhealth.ca.

It’s generally recognized that our changing climate is bringing about changes in

rainfall patterns. Here in B.C., we currently

experience a wide range of precipitation, from the 2,590 millimetres that fall on Prince Rupert annually (much more on Mitchell Island), to Ashcroft’s 200 mm.

Though these may seem extreme, they pale beside Cherrapunji’s 11,500 mm, reputedly the wettest place on earth, or Chile’s Atacama desert, where no precipitation has been recorded at all for decades.

Water is essential for life as we understand it, but one can have too much or too little of any good thing, and water is no exception.

Here on the Lower Mainland, we escape the worst extremes and can only sympathize with the Alliance of Small Island States (44 of them) which are threatened with inundation as ocean levels rise in response to glacier melting and heated ocean expansion.

Their likely flooding raises a host of questions about statehood, sovereignty, Law of the Sea and climate refugee laws, but we are not directly involved.

Are any plans yet envisaged to deal with climate refugees as Marshall Islanders, Maldive Island residents, and quite possibly also some from small Caribbean islands, are forced from their homes by rising ocean levels?

For example, the Tyson Foods plant in Springlake, Ark., is largely staffed by displaced Marshall Islanders; would we accept such an influx?

The lower Fraser Valley and delta suffered the impact of too much water in 1894, 1948 and 1972, when the river overflowed. Diking improvements followed, but how well is the

coastal area protected against rising oceans, not just a river in spate?

Vancouver airport and much of Richmond are vulnerable, as

is our own Crescent Beach, though it’s shielded by Vancouver Island and the Olympic Peninsula. Are our engineers and planners learning from Dutch experiences and their encouraging trials with large-scale flotation construction?

In even the worst-case scenario, the Semiahmoo Peninsula would stay dry but it could well become an island or at least be cut

off, with the lower Nicomekl and Little Campbell rivers connected by swamp or marshland and the roads and railways flooded and impassable. What then?

We are much more likely to be harmed by too little water, drought, in the neighbouring United States and Mexico than by any surplus.

Food production in California and northern Mexico depends on irrigation water from the Colorado and other rivers or from underground aquifers, all of which are stressed now. Less rain or snow will have a

direct and immediate adverse impact, while any compensating expansion of farming northwards as Canada warms will be slow and tentative.

We can expect food prices to rise as crop yields decline in the south-western U.S., directly affecting us all.

Does this thinking bear on decisions about conserving our ALR? It should.

How ready are our federal, provincial and municipal governments to address the inevitable U.S. calls for access to Canada’s ‘excess’ water as their wells run dry? The 50-years-old North American Water and Power Alliance (NAWAPA) gave due warning that such a day will come sooner or later. It may not be far away now.

It will be preferable to have frank and open debate and discussion of such eventualities now while we are unhurried and have time to arrive at rational decisions rather than be forced into hasty, ill-considered responses as a crisis unfolds.

I don’t recall hearing water mentioned in any policy statement.

Do any of our politicians show interest?

arts & entertainment…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula


A man described as “one of the most renowned children’s choir conductors” will be a guest clinician at WorldBeat 2015, a weekend-long festival hosted by the White Rock Children’s Choir.

Set for April 23-26, WorldBeat 2015 is to culminate with a mass-choir performance conducted by Henry Leck at Vancouver’s Orpheum Theatre.

“It is a big thing in our community,” choir director Sarona Mynhardt said of the festival and Leck’s participation.

Leck is the artistic director and founder of the Indianapolis Children’s Choir, which started 29 years ago with about 30 children and now boasts 2,000 children and 17 con-ductors. Mynhardt met Leck in 1999, two years after she started the WRCC. In the years since, they have collaborated on inter-national performances on several occasions – taking choirs as far as South Africa. Last year, they performed in Carnegie Hall.

“I love having my kids work with him,” Mynhardt said. “Because it’s not about him. He’s an extremely humble man. He truly loves and respects every conductor and every singer he works with.

“We both believe true love and respect has to come from you first. We don’t demand. It’s truly earned, whatever you get back from kids.”

Mynhardt said she put the word out about WorldBeat 2015 a year ago and response was swift. Within 24 hours, 350 kids from 10 choir organizations were registered, “and it’s because of (Leck).”

The festival is to include a conductor/music teacher workshop on April 23, as well as opportunities for individual choirs to work with Leck.

The April 26 performance is open to the public and will mark Leck’s first time con-ducting in the Orpheum.

Mynhardt said the opportunity to perform as part of a mass choir is an amazing experi-ence for the young singers, who bring a wide variety of voices.

“In a mass choir, everybody is mixed up. They become one choir,” she said. “It really gives kids this whole idea they’re not the only choir around.”

Mynhardt’s daughter, Maderi, is manager for WorldBeat 2015. She began working with the WRCC full-time in September, after realizing restaurant management “is just not for me.”

The 27-year-old – who holds a tri-disci-pline musical theatre diploma – also works with all of the WRCC choirs and teaches musical theatre privately.

“Moving back is not moving backwards,” she said, referring to the return to her first passion.

“I’m moving forward by leaps and bounds.”Tickets, $22, are available through www.

whiterockchildrenschoir.com or @ticketsto-night.ca

Music teachers and conductors interested in the April 23 conductors’ workshop – to be held at St. John’s Presbyterian Church in White Rock – may sign up or get more infor-mation through the B.C. Choral Federation, at www.bcchoralfed.com

Diversity abounds at ‘joyful’ Crescent Beach art showAlex BrowneArts Reporter

It started with a single summer art show last August, and a fol-lowup in November.

Now watercolourist/mixed-media artist/event creator Sus-sanne Hoiberg’s brain child, the Vendel Festival, is in its third edi-tion – with more to come.

The next show is this Saturday

(April 11) from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Crescent Beach’s Beecher Place.

“I like to have a theme statement for each of the shows, and this one is ‘where art is created with joy,’” Hoiberg told Peace Arch News.

Demonstrating the theme in a diversity of media will be Hoiberg herself and guest artists Wendy Mould (graphite and watercolour); David Boughton (pen and wash

landscapes); Wendy Burge (water-colour and mixed media); Rachel Legare (acrylic and encaustic wax art); June Bloye (hand-made jew-elry); Linda Casano (acrylic/photo art and mixed media); Don Fran-cis (metal sculpture and photog-raphy).

With a mix of nature, wildlife, floral, people, seascape and archi-tectural studies, it’s work that – as

Hoiberg proclaims in her hand-out – is “joyful, blissful, mystical, magical, soulful, sensual art.”

Adding to the feast for the senses, the event will also feature wine tasting and chocolate pairing, with handmade confections by Ladner Artisan Chocolates and Bite Me Desserts, and live entertainment by acoustic guitarist Ernie Day.

Live music has been an important

part of each show, Hoiberg said.“It’s all part of the artistic feel

and it gets people in the mood to view and buy art,” she said. “When you’re listening to music and walking through an art show, particularly in a beautiful setting, you’re more open to the art – It’s almost like you’re dancing through a dream. And, hopefully, people

Renowned conductor featured as guest clinician

› see page 26


are going to say ‘I could just see that piece of art hanging in my living room.’”

One of the reasons for creating the festival shows, Hoiberg said, is to create an ambience geared to promoting the artists’ work – often the last thing considered by artists more typically caught up in the creative process itself.

That’s one of the reasons the art-ist – also a busy scenic painter in B.C.’s once-again-burgeoning movie industry – provides a mar-keting toolbox that offers market-ing and graphic-design consulta-tions in pre-show meetings, allow-ing participating artists to get to know one another.

“It’s really evolving,” she said. “And one of the really big ben-efits I gained, just by bringing out the first show in August, was that Surrey Art Gallery asked me if I would be interested in co-ordi-nating their art-rental program through the Surrey Art Gallery Association – which I’m doing with artist Joanne Dennis.

“That’s brought me in contact with a huge network of artists – and my mission with these shows is not only to get my own work out there, but to help and

promote other artists.” Hoiberg – who acknowledges

she draws inspiration for her work from dreams and visions – said she decided on Crescent Beach as a venue after walking there in the midst of inconclusive negotiations for another venue.

“It felt right in my soul,” she said, noting that her event pays

tribute to a family name dating back to the year 600 in her native Denmark. “The Vendel Festival is about having a beautiful scenic view to go along with artistic creation.”

Legendary Canadian singer-guitarist Roy Forbes will make his first appearance at White Rock’s Blue Frog Studios this Saturday (April 11) at 8 p.m.

The one-night-only intimate concert will showcase songs from his new live album, Strikin’ Matches.

The album has won praise for bringing together all the threads of Forbes’ musical inspiration, including blues, country and folk.

Since the early days when he worked under the sobriquet of Bim, Forbes has grown to become a critically-acclaimed artist who has contributed to the Canadian music scene as both a producer and broadcaster as well as a performer and songwriter.

Solo recordings, which began with Kid Full of Dreams in 1975 have led to serendipitous collaborations, such as his work with UHF, and, latterly to a career hosting programs on CBC and CKUA.

Blue Frog Studios is located at 1328 Johnston Rd. Tickets ($35) are available from 604-542-3055 or at www.bluefrogstudios.ca

The City of Surrey is looking for someone to advocate for literacy and literary arts.

The inaugural search for a Surrey Poet Laureate launched last month, to coincide with World Poetry Day (March 21) and National Poetry Month (April).

The city has partnered with Surrey Libraries, the Cultural Development Advisory Committee, Surrey Arts Services, Surrey International Writers’ Conference, the Arts Council of Surrey, Creative Writing at Simon Fraser University, Semiahmoo Arts and Surrey Muse in the quest to identify an ambassador.

During a two- or three-year term, the poet laureate will engage with the people of Surrey through readings, civic interactions and community projects.

Submissions will be evaluated by a committee comprised of peer and partnership-group representatives.

Applications are being accepted until June 30.

City seeks poet laureate

Alex BrowneArts Reporter

“He was born in Wallasey (near Liverpool), but his home was on the stage.”

That’s how David Lloyd Aus-tin was remembered by his daughter, Kate, at a memorial for the late actor-writer-director-producer last week at the Coast Capital Playhouse.

Austin died on March 24 at age 69 at Peace Arch Hospital, after being diagnosed with advanced pancreatic and liver cancer, following a gall bladder operation. Some 180 friends and former colleagues, many of them active participants in community theatre in Greater Vancouver, attended the March 30 memo-rial, hosted by surviving family members and White Rock Play-ers Club.

They shared warm memories of productions with Austin – who also won fame and lucrative personal-appearance gigs around the globe thanks to his resem-

blance to former Russian pre-mier Mikhail Gorbachev.

Starting with a well-remem-bered performance in Syl-vester Stallone’s Rocky IV, his Gorbachev portrayals included

appearances in Billy Crystal’s Midnight Train To Moscow and Leslie Nielsen’s Naked Gun.

The soft-spoken, gre-garious and well-liked Austin, whose passion for detail and wide-rang-ing interests informed his own performances and his direction of others, had acted in or directed many commu-nity theatre productions

in the Lower Mainland, including plays for the White Rock Players Club, the Langley Players, The Vagabond Players, Metro Theatre and Ellie King’s Royal Canadian Theatre Company.

His last performance was on the Coast Capital stage, where he appeared as Dr. Winchester in the White Rock Players Club thriller Who Walks In The Dark in 2012.

His partner of 23 years, Jackie Boatman, said the former Cres-cent Beach resident had experi-enced spells of ill health over the past year. He had cut short a visit to Mexico – where he frequently travelled to direct English-lan-guage dinner theatre – returning to the Peninsula on March 4.

“The one blessing is that he was spared the pain and suffering of extended cancer treatments,” she said.

In addition to his daughter and spouse, he is survived by son Neil, ex-wife Lynn and grandchildren Marra, Olivia and Landen.

Austin was also widely known for writing and directing interac-tive murder mystery shows.

Boatman said Austin caught the acting bug while participat-ing in school productions in the Wallasey area.

Briefly a guitarist (he remem-bered sharing a stage and equip-ment with another up-and-com-ing Liverpool band, The Beatles), he emigrated to Canada in the late 1960s and later graduated from a two-year program in media arts at Sheridan College in Ontario.

Masters tournament held in Whitehorse

Curlers claim national crown

A curling team based out of Cloverdale and Langley have been crowned Canadian champions after winning the 2015 Canadian Women’s Masters Curling Championships in Whitehorse, Yukon.

Team Lepine – skip Karen Lepine, third Susan Beuk, second Agnes Sigurdson and lead Donna Christian – defeated the top-seeded rink from Ontario to claim the title.

They are the first-ever B.C. women’s team to win the Canadian masters crown.

“We are very proud to say that B.C. brought home the gold,” Lepine said. “I felt very calm going into the final. I had been runner up in the Canadian seniors, and the mixed (championships), so it was nice to have a chance to be able to play in a Canadian final again.”

The foursome won the championship match after stealing a crucial single point in the eighth end.

“We had to steal. We all made our shots and we had a piece of the button,” Lepine explained, adding that they also had two perfect guard rocks, which forced Ontario to draw to the button on the other side.

Lepine’s rink had a 7-2 record after the pool stage of the tournament, and qualified for the gold-medal game after defeating Manitoba 7-0 in the semifinals.

The team had earned its way to nationals after winning provincial masters curling championships last month in Nanaimo.

Garrett James photoAfter a nine-win first season behind the bench, Surrey Eagles head coach Blaine Neufeld expects to see much better results on the ice next year.

Nick GreenizanSports Reporter

Next year, they’re playing for keeps. That’s the message Surrey Eagles head

coach Blaine Neufeld will deliver to prospects next week, when the team holds its annual spring camp, where a handful of players will likely be identified and invited to main camp at the end of August.

For Neufeld – who is entering his first full off-season at the helm of the BC Hockey League team after taking the reins as head coach last summer – the off-season has already been too long, as he and the rest of the organization have watched the BCHL playoffs from afar. The

Eagles – who rebuilt their team last year with mostly local players – missed the playoffs after finishing a league-worst 9-45-1-3 (win-loss-tie-overtime loss).

It was a tough season for many reasons, Neufeld said. For starters, the team struggled defensively, especially early – they routinely gave up 40-plus shots on goal – and offensively, they finished with the second-worst offence in league history, scoring at a clip of just 2.33 goals-per-game. Only the Quesnel Millionaires of 2010/11 scored less.

However, rather than dwell on the negatives of the recent past, Neufeld is instead choosing to focus on the future, and is intent on steering the

ship back to the post-season – starting now. “Last year, everybody came into things

knowing it was going to be a rebuilding year, and that was our mindset. We had to be patient, and let the team (grow), but we’re not in this to go through that again,” he told Peace Arch News Wednesday.

“The leash is shorter now. Now, we need to win, and shame on us if we don’t improve in Year 2.”

Though the losing of last year would wear on just about anybody with a competitive bone in their body, Neufeld – who admitted that “everybody was tired of losing by the end of the

Surrey Eagles coach expects big improvement in second year at helm

season” – said it was also easy to be patient, knowing that the entire organization was taking a long-view of team-building with a local core.

Last year, 14 players from Surrey and Cloverdale dotted the roster, and though the coach said they could have chose to build slower – say, with a few top locals each year, rather than more than a dozen – he doesn’t regret their plan.

“Potentially, we could have, and maybe we’d have won a bit more, but I don’t know if that gets the point across about what we’re trying to do here, building with local players,” he explained.

“You don’t want to throw away a year, and I still don’t think we did, but we started to establish our plan, and really put roots down in the local minor-hockey associations, letting those young players know that we’re the best option for them.”

Besides, going through the growing pains has only helped those young local players, many of whom will return next season.

“Last year, we had a lot of rookies, now we’ll have a lot of veterans,” he said.

Going forward, Neufeld said he hoped that the team would be able to gain commitments from “the top five” or so local players each year.

“We don’t want all the local kids, we want the best ones.”

Recruiting players from elsewhere is also a priority, Neufeld added, as he aims to replace departing goaltender Christian Short – who will play in the NCAA in the fall – as well as add to the forward ranks.

Among the key returnees up front will be Darius Davidson and Minnesota native Tyler Harkins, but more will be needed to improve upon the 2014/15 output.

“We have to find some firepower, definitely,” Neufeld said.

“We’re recruiting some high-end guys – both from here and other places. Also, for our guys coming back, they’re going to have to improve. If you’re supposed to score goals, then score goals. Or find another way to contribute to the team.”

Neufeld said he didn’t take much of a break after the season ended before he began planning and recruiting for next year – perhaps getting a jump on other teams still in the playoffs. As well, he didn’t think the team’s poor season has affected recruiting efforts.

“It might actually be the opposite, because the local players know what our plan is now, and for everyone – no matter where they’re from – they know there

are opportunities here,” he said. “And even though we’ll have a lot of players returning, we only won nine games last year, so (roster spots) aren’t guaranteed.”

Looking back on his first year behind a BCHL bench, Neufeld said there was a learning curve, but the biggest challenge he faced was figuring out how to motivate his team daily when, realistically, they were out of playoff contention months early.

“We struggled so much early,

we fell out of the playoff race earlier than I thought maybe we would, so there was no real playoff push for us down the stretch,” he explained. “So you have to find new goals, and new things to focus on.

“But now, we want to make the playoffs. That’s our goal for next season – make the playoffs, win our division. We’ve learned from our mistakes, and we know it’s a lot more fun when you’re winning.”

The Surrey-based BC Aquason-ics synchronized swim team just narrowly missed placing on the podium at Synchro Canada’s 2015 National Qualifier Championships earlier this month in Victoria.

The Aquasonics’ combo team – which includes Surrey swimmers Courtney Armstrong, Judith Ger-halter, Marlene Gerhalter, Seray Sefayi, Emily Yang, Nancy Zhang and Jessica Friesen – finished in fourth place, but about as close to a bronze medal as one could get without actually getting it.

The team, with a Zombies rou-tine, placed just 0.0333 points behind the bronze medallists, Synchro Elite de Quebec.

“We were just a breath away from the podium,” Aquasonics head coach Susan Kemper said after the competition.

“Now that we know what our

competition looks like, we know what we need to do to be standing on the podium at the Canadian Open next month.”

The Canadian Open Champi-onships are set for Scarborough, Ont. from April 29-May 3.

Two more BC Aquasonics teams also fared well at the Victoria qualifier last week, as both the Junior ‘A’ and Junior ‘B’ teams fin-

ished in the top 10 in the Junior FINA Team Championships.

The Junior ‘A’ team – called the Cannibals – were seventh, and included the Gerhalters, Sefayi and Zhang.

The Junior ‘B’ Aliens, mean-while, finished 10th, and included Armstrong, Friesen, Yang and Priya Lehal.

Not hearing clearly when many people are talking?Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, System Audéo V has been designed specifically to understand in group situations.

The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in company, or in the restaurant. It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that are decisive when it comes to hearing things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory center of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.

New hearing chip developed

Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing chip that is designed to restore speech comprehension, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to

is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation. Interested people can register for a no-obligation demonstration of the Audéo V by calling 888.408.7377

The good news for Tyler Wotherspoon is he’s back in the National Hockey League.

But that doesn’t mean the Cloverdale native is seeing any action as his Calgary Flames battle for a playoff position.

Wotherspoon, 22, joined the Flames last Friday after he was called up from the Adirondack Flames of the American Hockey League (AHL). He has practised with Calgary for the past week, but has been a healthy scratch for the three games the NHL team has played in the past week.

“It’s just part of the business,” Wotherspoon told the Calgary Sun. “Obviously, it’s tough travelling that much but you’ve got to stick with it and not let it bother you at all.”

A second-round pick by the Flames in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, Wotherspoon is in his second season as a professional. The six-foot-two, 210-pound defenceman has played in 61 games for Adirondack this season, scoring twice and adding 22 assists for 24 points.

He played in 14 NHL games last season after he was a late-season call-up from the AHL, given some playing time at the highest level after the Flames had fallen out of the playoff race.

This season, he’s in Calgary in case of injury during the final week of the regular season, and possibly the playoffs next week.

“It’s a good feeling to be called up at this time of year, especially with the playoff push right now and this environment. It’s nice to get this experience,” he said.

“It’s a different environment with all that’s happening in the standings and how big these games are. It’s totally different from last year, there was less pressure I would say.”

Andrew Hammond, from White Rock, was named the First Star of the Week by the NHL Monday. It was the second time Hammond was the First Star of the Week, and third time he was among the Three Stars announced weekly.

The former Surrey Eagle, called up to the NHL by the Senators from their AHL farm team in Binghamton in late January, went 3-0-1 last week with a 1.63 goals-against average and a .940 save percentage.

Also named the NHL’s First Star for March, Hammond has posted an 18-1-2 record with a 1.91 goals-against average, .937 save percentage and two shutouts since his season debut Feb. 16.

Hammond was recently named the Ottawa Senators’ nominee for the Bill Masterton Award, which is presented annually to a player “who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.”

Local chapters of the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association choose nominees for each of the 30 NHL teams, and the San Jose chapter selected Scott Hannan for the San Jose Sharks.

Hannan, a graduate of Tamanawis Secondary in Surrey, played his 1,000th game in the NHL this past season.

Nick GreenizanSports Reporter

The high-school rugby season is but a few weeks old, but already one of the most anticipated games of the year is set to hit the pitch.

On Monday afternoon, the Semiahmoo Totems and Earl Marriott Mariners will square off in their annual AAA senior boys grudge match, with the winner laying claim to the Sandcastle Cup trophy.

And this year’s game will have to be one for the ages if it’s to live up to last year’s overtime battle that saw the underdog Totems defeat the Mariners 20-17 in dramatic fashion.

“I know the guys were pretty gutted about last year, and would probably like to exact a measure of revenge this time around,” said Earl Marriott coach Adam Roberts.

“And we’ve got a really good team this year. We’ve been on a tear, so we’ll see what happens.”

The Totems’ victory ended Marriott’s streak of Sandcastle triumphs – until last year, they’d won each game since 2009, with the exception being 2013 when no game was held.

Prior to Earl Marriott’s run of victories, the Sandcastle Cup was owned by Semiahmoo – the Totems won every game from 1995 until 2008, and 19 of 20 overall prior to the Mariners’ 2009 championship.

“When you think about it, the Sandcastle Cup is still more Semi’s than it is ours,” Roberts told Peace Arch News before last year’s game.

And though this year’s game won’t count in the standings for either side – it’s considered an exhibition contest, as the Mariners play league games in the elite tier, while the Totems are in the Tier 1 division – it has always been one of the most anticipated contests on the docket for both sides. In fact, in past seasons,

coaches and players from both schools have called the annual rivalry game the biggest match of the year outside of provincial-championship tilts.

Last year’s game very nearly ended in a draw.

After Marriott’s Cali Martinez scored a game-tying try with just seconds to go, the final whistle blew and both teams shook hands as though the game was over.

However, after a brief conference between coaches, officials and captains, it was decided that two five-minute overtime periods would be played.

The only points scored in extra time came in the first five-minute period, when Semiahmoo booted a penalty kick through the uprights for three points. Marriott pressed for a late try as the clock ticked down, but the Totems held them out.

The Sandcastle Cup game will be played at South Surrey Athletic Park, with kickoff set for 4 p.m.

Plebiscite campaign not considered ‘election’ advertising, mayor says

City of Surrey takes down ‘no’ signs

Block Watch bond

Safety in numbers


The City of Surrey has been pulling “No TransLink Tax” signs from city property, and the group that put them there is crying foul.

For the past two weeks, City of Surrey bylaw officers have been taking down signs oppos-ing the ongoing transit referendum.

The city is spending up to $300,000 in taxpayer dollars to get out the ‘yes’ vote for a 0.5-per-cent hike in sales tax in order to pay

for better transit and transportation projects. Jordan Bateman, the B.C. director for the

Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation, has been working a spirited campaign against the plebiscite proposal – on a budget of $40,000.

Cities in the region and TransLink are spending upwards of $7 million to promote a ‘yes’ vote.

Bateman says Surrey is being heavy-handed in using bylaw officials to further hammer down his meagre campaign initiative.

“All of our signs are gone in Surrey unless they are on private property,” Bateman said. “We had a bunch near the Pattullo Bridge, we had some in the Green Timbers park area, a few on King George, a few on Fraser Highway.”

He believes the city could be taken to court over the signs’ removal, but he says his group has neither the time nor the money to take on a publicly funded municipality.


Residents say new development that’s resulting in older homes being left vacant for extended peri-ods of time is contributing to an increase in crime in South Surrey’s Grandview Heights neighbour-hood.

“Not necessarily people living in new development, but homes that have been left to decay, and a lot of crack houses… and just some sala-cious type of behaviour,” Victoria Blinkhorn, chair of the Grandview Heights Stewardship Association, explained.

But the residents are not simply sitting back waiting for authorities to deal with the problem.

Last month, about two dozen members of four Block Watch groups in the area – Country Woods, 31 Avenue, Grandview Heights and Grandview Acres – met to learn more about what they can do to get a handle on the issue, and prevent further problems.

It was “to give people informa-tion on how to make their homes less attractive to burglars,” Peter Tilbury, longtime captain of the Country Woods Block Watch, said Tuesday.

Police “are doing what they can. But they can’t be around every

place, 24 hours a day.”According to Surrey’s online

mapping system, COSMOS, 23 residential break-ins have been reported in the area bordered by 32 Avenue to the south, 170 Street to the east, 24 Avenue to the north and 161 Street to the west in the past six months. There were also nine vehicles stolen and seven theft-from-vehicle reports. Theft from and damage to community

mailboxes is also a regular occur-rence.

The March 27 event at the Kens-ington Prairie Community Centre included presentations on home-security options and crime-pre-vention programs – information one resident wishes she’d known about six months ago, so she could have addressed weaknesses in her home that enabled a thief to break in and clean out her jewelry last

November.“What they stole was irreplace-

able,” said Sybil Rowe, describing a collection she had amassed over the past 50 years.

The culprit gained access through a vulnerable exterior door, manag-ing, initially at least, to avoid set-ting off the senior’s burglar alarm. Inside for just five minutes after the alarm triggered, the aftermath for Rowe continues.

“I’m just now starting to feel nor-mal,” she said.

Tilbury – describing the Grand-view area as experiencing burglary incidents “quite frequently” – said he was surprised to learn just how vulnerable the exterior doors of many homes are.

Two years ago, he learned the hard way that sliding windows can also have their pitfalls.

Tracy Holmes photoJudy Kern, Murray McFadden, Sybil Rowe, Gary Cameron, Victoria Blinkhorn and Peter Tilbury are determined to strengthen their four communities.
