Vintage Affair to be replaced after 23 ‘unbelievable’ years

End of an era for Peninsula foundation fundraiser

Heavily armed police surrounded a White Rock home Tuesday eve-ning, arresting two people as part of an investigation by the prov-ince’s anti-gang unit.

Investigators with the Mounties’ Combined Forces Special Enforce-ment Unit, with assistance from White Rock RCMP and the Lower Mainland District Emergency Response Team, descended on the home – in the 800-block of Parker Street – around 5:30 p.m. to exe-cute a search warrant.

A tradition that’s raised more than a mil-lion dollars for charitable causes on the Semiahmoo Peninsula over the past two decades has come to an end.

Curtis Christopherson, president of Pen-insula Community Foundation (formerly the White Rock South Surrey Community Foundation), confirmed Wednesday that a decision to retire Vintage Affair was made at the beginning of the year, in favour of a “reinvented” approach to helping the com-munity.

newsMixed reviews over traffic heard at Surrey public hearing

Laronde subdivision spurs hours of talk

$15,500 raised

Steps for hospice

Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

A proposed 20-house subdivision in South Surrey has neighbours divided over how the development will affect traffic and safety in the area.

Surrey city council heard from more than a dozen speakers Monday evening about applications for Official Community Plan and zoning amendments for the four-acre lot at 13160 20 Ave., which would pave the way for a residential development compris-ing 20 single-family homes.

The public hearing – which lasted nearly 2½ hours – included residents speaking both in favour and opposition.

A major concern among residents is traffic, described by many as problematic due to the large number of students driven to and from Laronde Elementary, a French-immersion “destination” school.

Amble Green Drive resident Leslie Cor-mack-Wilson, saying she was speaking on

behalf of 41 households, said she supported the connection of Laronde Avenue to 20 Avenue, which would be required should the project be approved.

Cormack-Wilson said the road extension would help eliminate bottlenecks and driv-ers doing U-turns on Laronde and Amble Greene during school hours.

“We are pleased to support this project, however, we would respectfully ask coun-cil… if you are approving it to start the road works as soon as possible, to have it completed before school starts,” Cormack-Wilson said.

However, neighbour Parry Patronius said he was opposed to the road connection, concerned not only about the increased through traffic, but also “transient vehicles” in the area.

“Nothing, absolutely nothing, strikes more terror in my heart than the hundreds of more vehicles that would be passing by Laronde Elementary during school hours,” Patronius

said, noting two months ago RCMP locked down the neighbourhood after a “sexual predator” was reported in the area.

“They’ll be able to pass by Laronde and make a quick exit onto 20th Avenue.”

Other concerns from speakers included the loss of trees on the lot – of 314 trees cur-rently standing, 280 would be removed – the

development being out of character for the neighbourhood and discrepancies between what proponents told residents would be proposed and what was outlined in a Surrey staff report on the project, specifically the inclusion of basement suites in the homes.

Developer Norman Porter, however, told council the proponents have “no intention of building suites” and would be willing to accept a restrictive covenant on the project to reflect that.

Porter also said the plan was specifically designed to retain as many trees as possible –  the proposal includes several variances aimed at keeping trees on the lots – which he said was “all about fitting into the character in this neighbourhood.”

“We’ll have more large, majestic conifer trees than there are anywhere else on the Laronde side of the subdivision,” Porter said.

Surrey council voted to defer a third read-ing of the bylaws related to the proposal until May 9.

More than 150 people turned up at Blackie Spit Sunday to take part in the annual Hike for Hospice fundraiser.

Participants raised more than $15,500 for the White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society at the walk, which included one-, three- and five-kilometre routes and was MCed by MLA Gordon Hogg.

Prior to the walk getting underway, the society’s executive director Beth Kish spoke of the end-of-life work the hospice does for the community, which she described as “an honour and a pleasure” to provide.

Kish said funds raised in Crescent Beach on the weekend will help the hospice society with its campaign to build a supportive-care centre on 16A Avenue near Peace Arch Hospital.

“We’re really excited that things are finally moving ahead,” Kish told the crowd.

Officers with the RCMP’s Clan-destine Laboratory Enforcement and Response Team, in white hazmat suits, were seen entering the home around 6 p.m., exiting shortly after with what appeared to be a clear container.

Houghton said the house was contained overnight and that the CLEAR unit would be at the scene the next day to begin pro-

cessing the contents.It’s not believed the public is

at risk.An area resident at the scene

told PAN the house in question had been sold about a year ago and he believed it was being used as a “meth lab.”

Crime in the neighbourhood has been a problem, the man said.

He said police Tuesday report-

edly told residents the house in question was among five they are investigating.

Houghton would not say if the search was part of a larger inves-tigation, or how police became aware of the alleged illegal activ-ity at the home.

“It would be secret informa-tion. We don’t want to give out information about how we got information,” Houghton said.

Other houses watched: resident from page 1

Past community leaders thankedrevolved around Vintage, when we’ve done so much more than that. As much as Vintage was a great fundraiser event, it wasn’t the platform to educate and com-municate.”

Debbie Magson, who helped with Vintage Affair for six years, beginning in 2007, described news the event had been can-celled as a surprise. It was an event important to late PAN pub-lisher Linda Klitch, she noted. (Klitch, who played an instru-mental role organizing Vintage Affair since 2000, died suddenly in September 2011.)

“Linda’s heart was so in it,” Mag-son said. “To me, Vintage Affair and Linda were hand-in-glove… I wish the Peninsula Commu-nity Foundation every success in moving forward.”

That process, Christopherson said, includes continuing to host events, however, they will be on a smaller scale that will facilitate communicating the foundation’s approach and direction.

Part proceeds from a fundraiser set for June 2 at Ocean Park Vil-lage Pub will support Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation. (For information email [email protected])

Christopherson said the hope

is to net $15,000 to $20,000 at the Love Your Community event, which is to include din-ner, drinks and entertainment. A poster describes the evening as an “exclusive event that supports businesses, services and individ-uals in our community.”

Christopherson thanked those who helped make Vintage Affair a success.

“There (were) some integral community leaders that made Vintage what it is,” he said.

Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

A pilot program on the Semiah-moo Peninsula designed to help senior hospital patients return home sooner has gone “better than expected,” according to those who helped launch the service.

It’s also the first of its kind in the province, proponents say –  pos-sibly the whole country.

The initiative – temporarily coined ‘the volunteer-assisted discharge program’ – is a col-laboration of Seniors Come Share Society, Sources and Peace Arch Hospital, and was spearheaded by the White Rock South Surrey Seniors Health Network.

Launched in January, the pro-gram offers assistance to senior hospital patients who are ready to go home but don’t have a family member or friend readily avail-able to help them get there.

Volunteers – who work in pairs – drive the senior home, making sure they have what they need to settle into their routines.

Kathy McIntyre, project man-ager with the health network, told Peace Arch News that when the groups began working on the project there were no models to be followed.

“From what I can see in the literature, we might be the first in Canada,” McIntyre said. “We’re certainly the first in Fraser (Health

Region) and in B.C., unless there are people doing it that haven’t published.”

The service is offered five morn-ings a week and patients must be mobile and able to sign a consent. A strong emphasis is placed on confidentiality, safety and scope of the service – meaning volun-teers can’t lift patients – for the sake of all involved.

“The philosophy behind this was to not replace or supplement a health-care service, but to be a substitute family member,” PAH director Teresa O’Callaghan said.

Along with a safe ride home, patients are also given a resource binder and referrals, and are con-tacted by Come Share to ensure home-support needs are being met. If the discharged patient doesn’t have groceries at home,

the volunteers can stop at Sources Food Bank on the way to pick up a care package. As well, a fire-fighter will visit to do a quick safety inspection and install a smoke detector if necessary.

Since the pilot began, more than 50 seniors have been assisted by the team of 15 volunteers.

The pilot will continue through the summer, thanks to a donation from local resident John Block and his family. The group is hope-ful the program becomes a per-manent fixture in the community.

“We’re being watched by other sites and communities with great interest and they’re chomping at the bit to... implement it in their own sites and communities,” O’Callaghan said.

Elected officials usually establish early in their professional political careers whether they have open-door or closed-door

policies.You may know the open-door politicians, though

they can oftentimes be a bit more difficult to find. They’re the politicians who mount campaigns of inclusion and openness, and who then show up at public gatherings, take part in the back-and-forth of discussion regardless of whether there’s personal gain or even an influential audience, then stick around a little longer to listen to any issues that are brought to their attention.

You likely know the ones with the closed doors. They also mount campaigns of inclusion and openness, but that’s where the similarity ends. There is little back-and-forth. After these politicians make pronouncements uninterrupted, they disappear – with a ‘click’ – behind the scenes, presumably to have private discussions with insiders about the issues that will affect the rest of us.

Clearly, the open-door politician embraces the power of the ‘public service’ aspect of the job a little more willingly. The closed-door politician embraces the power.

But there’s a third type of politician that’s become the norm – an amalgam of the original two. These are the elected officials who consider themselves open-door but who are quite selective for whom their doors will open. And if you’re willing to pay an entrance fee – say, in the $1,000-$5,000-$10,000-and-up range at partisan fundraisers – you, too, can be an ‘insider’ with real face-time.

In case this sounds too cynical, we’ll double-down and describe a recent variation of this last type of politician – the one who, in addition to a generous public wage, collects a generous stipend from party coffers.

In the case of our current premier, that’s amounted to an annual addition of $45,000-$50,000 – collected by the BC Liberal party – to Christy Clark’s $195,000 provincial salary in recent years.

To be fair to our premier, the province’s conflict-of-interest commissioner announced this week that Clark was not in a conflict of interest for hosting the exclusive party fundraisers or receiving her annual stipend.

But to be fair to voters, simply because a politician’s private interest is not seen to be “advanced by any particular donor or group of donors at these events” hardly means such behaviour is acceptable.

It’s time to close the door on this practice.

opinionPeace Arch News

With Mother’s Day fast approaching, you may be reminding yourself to reach

out to your mom this weekend.Maybe you’ll call her, or maybe

you’re lucky enough to be able to spend the day with her; it’s a gift not everyone has.

For me, I’ll make that call to Ontario, just as I have been doing daily for more than 20 years.

Yes, that’s right. I’ve called my mom every single day since 1995.

Let me explain.Growing up, my favourite

person in the world was my mom. I loved to be around her. Through the ups, downs and inevitable curveballs of life – divorce, new schools, shared custody – I didn’t always live with her, so I cherished the time we spent together that much more.

We even made it through the feral teen years relatively unscathed.

I think she recognized I was somewhat of a force early on: bold and tenacious with big dreams and a robust imagination. She tried to balance her natural instinct to worry with her desire for me to be free and to explore, though it was not something she could relate to,

my restlessness and persistent quest for adventure.

I spent most of my 20s simply trying to be an interesting person, bouncing from

various jobs, postal codes and new experiences to college and the occasional existential crisis. Her support was unwavering – both emotionally and, often, financially.

The daily phone calls started in the mid-’90s when I was living in Vancouver and long-distance rates dropped; all of a sudden I had unlimited calling for $20 a month.

Our conversations varied from benign day-to-day chatter to occasional hours-long discussions of life, love and meaning.

She is the first person I think of when something big happens, like a promotion or a relationship that goes south, or if I need advice for how long to cook a turkey or remove a stain. (Sure, I could Google it, but mom is a phone call away.)

Do we disagree? You bet. Our personalities are so different but our bond is unbreakable, even across five provinces.

In 2009, something happened to emphasize that bond and it still affects me deeply.

My beloved sister-in-law was fighting a harrowing battle with an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Our family – most in Ontario and I in B.C. – could only watch, helpless and grief-stricken, as she, at age 44, quietly raged against the disease.

Sue became a warrior, struggling to stay alive for her two daughters, my nieces, who were just nine and 14 at the time. They were her biggest joy in life and her proudest accomplishment. She loved nothing more than being their mother. To her, every day was Mother’s Day.

As Sue neared the end of her life, my brother promised he would care for her at home as long as he could. A hospital bed was set up in their bedroom and a palliative-care home nurse came daily to help.

On a chilly mid-November night, after weeks of rapid decline that left her ravaged and blind, she took her last breath. The nurse yelled for my brother and the girls to come quickly. She said that though Suzy’s heart had stopped, her brain would continue to function for a few minutes and she could hear them.

The girls raced up the stairs, grabbed their mom’s frail hands and yelled, “We love you, mommy! We love you, mommy!” over and over and over, so that the very last words Sue ever heard as she slipped from this earth were that she was fiercely loved by the people she loved the most.

And that’s the most important reason I will call my mom today, tomorrow and every day – because I can.

A mother’s lessonEditor:

In 1972, as a Grade 11 student, I was one of those guys who had a ’64 Chevy and hung out in the school parking lot, attending just enough classes to maintain my student status.

To augment my habit of buying car parts, I worked a 40-hour week at a service station.

One day, while pumping gas during school hours, a customer whom I had been pestering to hire me on as a deckhand at his tugboat company came in for fuel. He finally relented: “If you can be down at the docks by 6 this evening, you have a job!”

I told my boss and, amazingly, he understood and wished me well. Next major step was to go home and tell my mother – a teacher for many years – that I was quitting school.

I didn’t know what to expect when I gave her the unexpected news. Her response was one of calm. There was a discussion on the importance of education and my future.

With that – and her disappointment disguised – she let me go.

Leaving school in Grade 11 was a big decision. The school system was going through a major transition. In years prior, if you challenged the system, there was an authority that challenged our young immature minds right back. This era was different. Somehow it seemed that authority was missing. The feeling was that if you were not planning on going to university, there was no need getting your diploma.

The following spring, we were navigating a large chip barge up to Port Melon. It was a particularly windy, dark night. In an attempt to control the barge in high winds, we encountered an issue with the winch. The boat pulled over on its side, resulting in months of time off.

My mother, seizing the opportunity, convinced me to go back to school. It was a long haul catching up. Her persistence was unending. With night school, summer classes and returning to my high school, I was finally able to complete Grade 12.

Shortly after graduating, I received a call from mother telling me I was to go to a particular photo studio in New West. I showed up in jeans and shirt. She had brought a knitted tie, my dad’s shirt and a suit jacket I hadn’t worn for years. The proprietor wrapped a green sheet around my legs to look like dress slacks. He took a magazine and rolled it up and told me to hold it.

With long, curly hair and a surprisingly witty smile, not only had I graduated, I had a full-on graduation picture to prove it.

My mother wasn’t done yet. She marched that photo to my school and had them put it on the wall along with my original classmates. To this day, there I am, the only one in full-colour looking dapper in my suit jacket and matching slacks – and what appears to be a significant special diploma with honours.

Thanks, Mom. Without the Dogwood diploma, I never would have finished off my 32-year career as an assistant fire chief.Paul Olson, Surrey

More in-depth article neededEditor:Re: New pool’s design lauded, April 13.

You must mention both sides of the story…

I think you failed to mention how far behind schedule the Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre was.

Now, we have many problems with design and quality at the pool. Things are broken and not repaired, the design of the change rooms and sauna is faulty and missing many parts. This pool was not properly tested before opening and many parts were breaking down during

the first month.A reward to people who don’t

even know how to design and build properly is a funny joke. Good one.

Editor:Re: Train blasts driving us away, April 22 letters.

We agree with letter-writer Alison Prentice’s comments regarding decibel-blasting horns during the so-called quiet hours.

Our loss of sleep is becoming a health issue for us. For the first time in decades, we, too, are considering moving away from our City by the Sea.

The thousands of dollars we spent building safer crossings and enough fencing to please Donald Trump… however, the blasting continues.

Our city leadership should demand that all engine drivers should be on the same page with policy directed by BNSF Railway (Train blasts to persist, Oct. 9, 2015).

We, along with many other hillside residents, are not only tired of this blasting but just tired all day.

If we have to choose between our health and living here, the obvious sad choice is goodbye to White Rock.Dennis Smith, White Rock

Re: Moving tracks ‘could cost billions,’ April 20.These realignment conversations have been ongoing

since at least 1995. From a Peace Arch News article on Nov. 28, 2013

(Cities present four rail-route options): “Realignment is estimated by the cities to cost $350-

450 million. One option presented Tuesday parallels King George Boulevard and Highway 99, and would see the line tunnelled between 16 and 36 avenues. Two of the three options for east of 176 Street are envisioned as largely elevated routes.”

It seems to me that the tunnel option has the least impact on the NIMBY factor and it would seem to have less affect on ALR considerations.

I wonder if there was any consideration for the tunnel alignment from the south end of the Boundary Bay trestle to 8 Avenue at Highway 99 run practically at sea level.

A tunnel may have a higher cost than elevated routes? Forgive me, I am only guessing as I have not seen the costs for the route options published.

Certainly a tunnel option would mitigate the ALR and “not in my backyard” issues the elevated options present. Likely the least ‘political’ option as well.

Where is the tunnel option in the discussions? Dean Butler, Surrey

Thanks for keeping all of your readership up-to-date on the ongoing discussions concerning the BNSF trains and tracks, and any hope of relocating them away from the shore, and train-noise issues.

Some folks complain about the train noise while some people never complain. It may be that the complainers have window and insulation issues that allow the noise to enter their homes more readily. If the folks complaining call in a window company, they will be able to quickly determine if there is a window issue or not. Once the window seal leaks and all of the sound-deadening gases escape, your noise level goes up several-fold.

We had a noise issue with trucks on a nearby freeway keeping us awake. We replaced the one window facing the highway, and we have slept soundly ever since.

By the way, a window issue is the homeowner’s issue to take care of, not BNSF’s.

Also, those folks who live on the hills above the beach will automatically hear more noise as the train sounds echo off the hills. Sorry, that is just the way it is.

Additionally, as a retired BNSF employee, I can tell you that you have approximately a zero chance of moving the tracks away from the shore, in spite of everything that your political leadership tells you. It is just going to cost your government too much money.

Anybody who tells you different is probably just pandering to their base for votes.Chuck Hatler, Kansas City, Mo.

Higher high-riseA highrise retirement building

proposed for White Rock’s town centre will be four storeys higher than planned, should it be approved.

Last week representatives from PARC Retirement Living presented an update on the project – for an independent seniors’ rental residence and ground-level storefront businesses – to the city’s economic investment committee.

Following discussions with city staff in recent months, proponents say they have

adjusted the building’s plans to be “taller and thinner,” at a height of 23 storeys, rather than the 19 originally proposed in December, in an effort to

reduce the building’s footprint on the three lots at 1564 and 1554 Johnston Rd. and 1563 George St.

The town centre is pre-zoned for up to 265 feet (25 storeys) in height.

According to the developer’s presentation, a development permit is expected to be resubmitted to the city next week, with a public-information meeting tentatively scheduled for May 24.

Arrest loggedA Langley man is facing

charges for failing to comply with probation, after police conducting patrols in South Surrey last weekend spotted a vehicle associated to an individual with outstanding warrants.

Surrey RCMP officials say a police-dog team was dispatched to the 16400-block of 24 Avenue after a man fled on foot from an attempted traffic stop around 11:30 a.m. Saturday (April 30).

A 53-year-old was arrested nearby shortly after.

Three police vehicles and several officers were still at the scene an hour later.

The City of White Rock has applied for more than $7 million worth of federal and provincial grant funding for construction of arsenic and manganese treatment plants at its Merklin and Oxford Street reservoirs.

Council approved the New Build Canada Fund grant submis-sion at last week’s meeting, where staff told members the deadline to send in the application was the following Thursday (April 28).

The city allocated $13 million for the project in its 2016-2020 financial plan, including $1.6 mil-lion in design costs for 2016. The remaining $11.4 million in con-struction costs is expected to be funded two-thirds by approved grant funding, with the city’s por-tion funded by long-term debt, amortized over 30 years.

In March, director of engineer-ing and municipal operations

Greg St. Louis told Peace Arch News the city was aiming for an 80 per cent reduction in the arse-nic levels, which have tested near Health Canada’s highest allowable concentration rates (.010mg/L) for several years.

Should the city meet those reduction targets, the over-all water-supply concentration would be below Health Canada’s negligible health-risk level of .0003 mg/L.

St. Louis told council last week the exact cost of the project won’t be known until after a request for proposals has been completed and a design finalized, prompt-ing a question from Coun. Helen Fathers about what process the city would undergo should the city’s portion of the project exceed the “assent free limit” as outlined in the municipal liabilities regula-tion.

According to financial director Sandra Kurylo, the limit is the

maximum amount of new debt servicing costs – including annual principal and interest payments – the city can commit to without requiring public assent.

The limit amount is dependent on interest rates at the time of borrowing and the amortization term of the loan.

Kurylo said should the proj-ect cost exceed the assent-free limit, the city would undergo an engagement process with the public, seeking those opposed to come forward, rather than hold a referendum on the matter.

“We’d be looking for anyone who wouldn’t be in agreement to come forward to the city,” Kurylo said. “So instead of ‘yes’ or ‘no’, it would just be the no’s.”

According to St. Louis, the Merklin Street treatment plant is expected to be completed in 2018, with the Oxford Street plant in operation by late 2019 or early 2020.

A White Rock resident says she’s frustrated with the “exces-sive noise” from a clock tower on lower Johnston Road that she said is chiming nearly 20 times a day.

Bonnie McKenzie said the chimes from the tower at John-ston Road and Prospect Avenue are loud enough to wake her up if she’s napping, especially now that she’s been opening the windows in her nearby apartment since the weather has been warmer.

She said a few months ago, the frequency of the chimes, which ring every half an hour from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. –  as well as the

duration  – has increased, creat-ing what she described as “noise pollution.”

“We have a lot of people on our block who are hospital shift workers, and lots of retired peo-ple as well,” McKenzie told Peace Arch News. “I tend to do my errands in the morning, but in the afternoon, I want to relax and read in silence.”

According to Lorie Raverty, whose family owns the tower and much of the block’s property, the clock was fixed earlier this year after it broke down in December.

Raverty said no adjustments to the frequency or duration have

been made, and that the chimes fall within the city’s noise bylaw with regards to the allowed deci-bel levels.

“We’ve only had positive feed-back from people since it’s been fixed,” Raverty said. “The City of White Rock actually had calls wondering why it wasn’t work-ing.”

City manager Dan Bottrill told PAN last week he wasn’t aware of any complaints regarding the clock tower.

“I don’t believe it would be in contravention of a noise bylaw,” Bottrill said.

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Alex BrowneStaff Reporter

Cecil Bradbury has always quipped that when called up for military service during

the Second World War, he chose the Navy because he didn’t have to wear a tie.

But Bradbury, 97, a resident of South Surrey’s Peace Portal Seniors Village, recently received a formal acknowledgment of Canada’s gratitude for his wartime service – a commemorative lapel pin and certificate of recognition from federal Veterans Affairs Minister Kent Hehr.

It’s part of an ongoing government campaign to mark the 75th anniversaries of important milestones in the Second World War by recognizing surviving veterans for their service and sacrifice “on behalf of a grateful nation.”

And Bradbury – whose battles now are mainly with the effects of Alzheimer’s – did sport a tie when he posed for a picture with the pin last Friday at the residence.

According to his daughter, Bonnie Morrison, humour, over the years, has masked some painful memories for Bradbury.

As a leading seaman on the destroyer HMCS St. Laurent, he was in the thick of action protecting all-important supply

and troop convoys in the North Atlantic, constantly preyed on by U-Boats and other enemy attacks.

One, dubbed the ‘nightmare convoy of the Atlantic’ in a magazine account, was the hardest-hit convoy ever escorted by the Canadian Navy.

“It’s not a memory he’s liked

to share because he lost a lot of friends,” she said, noting that her dad also suffered considerable hearing loss from “heavy depth-charges, motor noise and gunfire.”

It wasn’t all hardship. The Mount

Pleasant-born Bradbury, an excellent swimmer and all-round athlete before the war, got to teach physical education to his comrades in the Navy.

When the war ended, he came

home to Agnes, the redhead he’d met when she was working at a Vancouver bakery, and married during a leave in 1942.

He got a job at Wolfe Chevy, and, calling on his previous car-industry experience, designed their first assembly body shop.

He and Agnes raised their family and he continued to work as a manager at Wolfe until he retired.

“He had a very good eye and used to paint a lot of the hot-rod cars for shows – he used to hand pin-stripe them,” Morrison said.

Peninsula residents from the early-’90s, the couple were close to their grandchildren and great-grandchildren and celebrated 70 years together in 2012, although Agnes passed away at the end of the following year.

Morrison said she is glad the government is taking time to recognize the contribution of Second World War veterans like her father, noting the words of the letter from Hehr that accompanied the certificate and pin:

“Canadians, like you, who served during this conflict selflessly rallied together in extraordinary ways to defend the right of all people to live in peace and freedom… Canada will never forget your valiant wartime service and your lifelong dedication to our great country.”

A Surrey student has won the Federa-tion of Canadian Municipalities’ Canadian Women in Municipal Government Schol-arship.

Claire McCallum, in Grade 12 at Clover-dale’s Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary, was announced Tuesday as the B.C. winner of the scholarship. She is among four chosen to receive the $1,000 award, from what organizers described as a record number of applications.

The awards are granted annually to

“young women who demonstrate excep-tional leadership and a strong interest in local politics.”

In a release, Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said it is “gratifying to know that there is such a high interest in local politics among our young women across the country.”

McCallum, who is an active member of her school’s student council, won the scholarship for her research essay on “How women make a difference in community service, leadership positions and politics.”

Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

Kayla Dhaliwall is quick to admit her first professional job in a kitchen did not go

according to plan. As a teenager, the Victoria

native was hired to cook breakfast for residents at a retirement community.

“I was so bad at it,” Dhaliwall, 31, recalled. “I was overcooking everyone’s eggs. But the director of the residence, she really liked my work ethic. So she demoted me to janitor. But I never gave up on that dream.”

In February, Dhaliwall’s dream of opening a restaurant of her own came to fruition when she and her partner, Cheryl Chung, launched A Fine Mess on White Rock’s Marine Drive.

The couple describes the venture as “global comfort food,” offering “familiar dishes the way they were originally meant to be served.”

“I wanted this restaurant to be an accumulation of my career and everything I’ve learned and experienced to this point,” Dhaliwall said.

Following her less-than-stellar performance at the seniors residence, Dhaliwall spent a few years working in kitchens on the Gulf Islands, before training at Vancouver Community College.

She worked at the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel during the 2010 Olympics followed by stints at a few downtown restaurants, before she was approached by a Food Network Canada producer who wanted to recruit her for Top Chef Canada.

Dhaliwall was one of 16 chefs

from across the country selected to compete for the crown during the third season of the reality show in 2013. She was eliminated in the show’s fourth episode; Cloverdale native Matthew Stowe won the Top Chef title that season.

“It was not what I thought it was going to be,” Dhaliwall said of the

show. “It was very much about making

good television and not about the raw talent of the chefs.”

She said, however, the experience solidified her desire for creating great food.

“For me, it’s about having my guests come to me saying, ‘that’s

the best burger I’ve ever had,’” she said.

With two months behind them at A Fine Mess, Dhaliwall and Chung – who now live in White Rock – admit there have been some challenges, not the least of which is distancing their restaurant from Cielo’s, which occupied the space previously.

“The thing is, we never bought Cielo’s. We bought a restaurant,” Dhaliwall said, noting they’ve had several disappointed patrons come in and immediately leave upon realizing they’re not in the former restaurant.

“Cielo’s was already closed. For us to try and resurrect Cielo’s when we never experienced it ourselves, we wouldn’t have done it justice.”

The couple is looking at ways to reach out to local residents and business people – they plan to host realtor lunches, hospitality industry nights and ‘ladies-who- lunch’ events – and are exploring ways to recognize regular customers.

Though they know the waterfront location of their restaurant makes it a great tourist draw, they’re more focused on connecting with people in the White Rock/South Surrey community.

“We want to be a locals’ restaurant,” Dhaliwall said.

Peace Arch Hospital is closer to having new medical equipment after the Rotary Club of White Rock donated more than $30,000.

The club presented the

cheque to the Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation last month, in the amount of $32,100, which was raised through the group’s popular

book sale. The funds will go towards

purchasing three vital-signs monitors for elder acute care and a bladder scanner for the mental health and substance

abuse zone. Since launching the book

sale in 1987, the Rotary Club of White Rock has raised $322,000 for the hospital.

Tracy HolmesStaff Reporter

A trio of Peninsula businessmen say they weren’t surprised by what they heard from the “Oracle of Omaha” – Warren Buffett – at the Berkshire Hathaway shareholders gen-eral meeting last weekend.

But the trek to the 51st annual Omaha, Neb. event – attended by thousands and watched by millions more worldwide via live-stream-ing – was still a “bucket-list” experience,

agreed Darren Alexander, Dave Gradidge and Micah Anderson.

It “reaffirmed everything that we believe in,” Gra-didge said Monday, in the boardroom of the Manu-life Securities’ investment advisors’ office in South Surrey.

“In times of financial chaos, it was refreshing to see that the principles we

have adhered to are still the right principles. He hasn’t changed and therefore, why would we?”

The meeting was held at the 19,000-capacity CenturyLink Center, and part of a weekend-long event led by 85-year-old Buffett and BH vice-president Charlie Munger, who is 92.

Described as “basically the Woodstock of capitalism,” Alexander said attendance by the local four –  Marc Beavis from Manu-life’s Richmond office also joined the trek – is “the modern-day equivalent of artists attending a meeting with Picasso or Monet, or a musician spending the weekend with

Beethoven.”“We went down there out of respect,” he

added.Among a host of topics addressed by the

multibillionaire Buffett as he sipped his Cherry Coke was the BNSF line – which has been a particular source of controversy locally in recent years. While he didn’t speak to the White Rock/South Surrey line specifi-

cally, he did say he “thought it was the kind of industry that would slow,” and predicted a decline in coal shipments, Anderson said.

Coal shipments along the Peninsula stretch of line, along with a push for relocation of the tracks inland, have been hot topics locally in recent years, the latter especially.

Alexander said while he would like to see the railway “out of White Rock,” he acknowl-

edges it’s not a simple feat.“Would be nice if it was not moving

through White Rock… but obviously, it’s complicated,” he said.

The trio said the opportunity to get Buf-fett’s opinion on the issue didn’t arise, as questions fielded by the philanthropists were pre-determined.

“We never got the chance to ask his opin-ion of the White Rock waterfront, but I’m pretty sure he would’ve had one,” Gradidge said.

They were, however, able to drive by Buf-fett’s home, a structure the trio agreed was rather unremarkable, but testament to the businessman’s focus on charity.

“Just an average house in a nice neighbour-hood,” Gradidge said. “In fact, it kind of needs a paint job.”

Anderson said he appreciated Buffett’s wit throughout the nine-hour meeting – from referencing cries from his seven-month-old great-grandchild as a reaction to word of his views on inheritance, to his description of himself as “about one-quarter Coke” – and that the senior continues to work “because he is absolutely in love with what he does.”

And while many likely attended expecting to hear who Buffett had in mind as a poten-tial successor, no names were shared.

In fact, the local advisors say they were left with a distinct impression Buffett plans to stay intricately involved with Berkshire Hathway for the foreseeable future.

“I think he truly believes he will be around for a long time yet,” Gradidge said.

Anderson agreed.“I think he’ll be there when he’s 95,” he said.

arts & entertainment…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Alex BrowneArts Reporter

It’s an instant arts community in uptown White Rock – the kind of place where the eyes of passersby can expect only an

ever-changing canvas of artistic possibility.At the city-sponsored Pop-Up-Town/

Gallery To Go space at 1459B Johnston Rd. you can expect not only watercolours and acrylics and oils displayed, but also jewelry and other multimedia work – and, in coming weeks, children’s theatre and First Nations basket-work.

And people walking by the high-traffic area can’t seem to resist the opportunity to stop and look in the window at the latest portrait painting taking shape through careful brush-strokes of currently highlighted artist Veronica Davies.

City cultural development manager Claire Halpern said she’s “very excited” about how the city’s initiative has been working for artists since the space officially opened April 14 – and the very positive feedback from the public.

“We’re keeping fingers crossed that we’ll be able to continue with this,” she told Peace Arch News, while noting that the future of the program – occupying the former Tourism White Rock offices – remains at the will of city council and the budget process.

“There are huge benefits of having artists working together – and I don’t think I would have gotten to know all these people without this,” Halpern said.

She added the current success story started in 2014, when council approved the city’s cultural strategic plan. One of the action items identified was employing under-used retail space in the city for arts purposes, and a subcommittee studied the idea for a year, but without being able to identify an existing space that would be affordable, Halpern said.

“But with the changes in Tourism White Rock, the (Johnston Road) space came available and it seemed like the opportunity to do what we had been proposing,” she said.

“The time frame was really short between when we got council approval at the end of February/early March and when we got the first group in the space on April 1.”

That first group was organized ad-hoc by Davies, a local painter of watercolour landscapes and portraits, who called on people she knew, through the South Surrey and White Rock Art Society and other arts organizations, to use the space co-operatively.

These include metal and stone artist June Bloye, showing her jewelry and abstract

paintings; Jess Rice, with appealing acrylics and watercolours of cats, chickens and livestock; and painters Melanie Kuzminsky and Mary Lake showing evocative landscapes.

“Mary has lived a lot of places including around San Diego,” Davies said. “Since she moved up here, she’s been asking if there are any co-op galleries here – so she was one of the first people I thought of.”

“This is a great place to show art,” said Bloye, who commended the committee for underlining that the space is open to all kinds of art, including jewelry and 3-D sculpture.

“People walking up and down the street are so happy – it’s a gallery they can come into and walk around and look around without feeling any obligation,” she added.

“We’re encouraging the city to keep the space available beyond the end of November.”

“It’s been fantastic,” said Davies, who has been working on a series of portraits of Peninsula artists during the initial show to help focus public attention on the creative movers and shakers in the community.

“There’s been so much interest from people walking by, and I love it when, after watching you painting earlier, they come back and give you a ‘thumbs-up’ through the window. And people don’t usually get to see a group of artists working together.”

“People are so used to seeing the final product, they don’t often see the process,” Bloye said. “I have to give kudos to Veronica for organizing us – she has phenomenal organizing skills – and also the city which has done a wonderful job publicizing us,” Rice said.

In addition to showing his paintings, Rice will follow up on an initial bookbinding course with a May 7, 3-6 p.m. session at the gallery (spaces are still available), during which participants will learn how to put together their own custom journal or sketchbook.

The pop-up with the current group of

artists will close May 12, after which Susan Pendleton’s Surrey Youth Theatre will present a different take on Little Red Riding Hood May 13 and 14.

Then it will be the turn of a collective of First Nations artists, which will hold a formal opening on May 28, organized by well-known Semiahmoo artist Roxanne Charles, herself a

member of the subcommittee that advocated for the pop-up initiative.

“Having affordable options for artists is really important,” Charles

said. “It’s really nice to see how this has been set up, and that it offers a variety of different kinds of art – I think that’s a more successful business model.

“The group coming in are all artists from Semiahmoo First Nation – a total of eight people. A lot of them don’t really consider themselves artists, but we have a lot of really talented weavers along with people who will show painting and carving.”

Halpern said upcoming groups at the pop-up gallery will include the Z-inc collective spearheaded by Cora and Don Li-Leger, the Semiahmoo Potters, Semiahmoo Arts and the annual 12-by-12 exhibit of the International Artists Day Festival in October.

Ellie King could barely contain her excitement last month when talking about Project 10660, the working title of a new “creative cluster” for youth arts programming set to open in North Surrey later this year.

“We’ve finally found a home,” King, founder and director of Royal Canadian Theatre Company, said in an

interview.“It’s a game-changer

for us in so many areas, I can’t begin to tell you,” King added. “It’s so exciting.”

The local theatre company, along with Vancouver-based Streetrich Hip Hop Society, has been chosen by the city to operate the 2,500-square-foot facility, located at 10660 City Parkway.

Re-purposing

the city-owned property – at a cost of approximately $250,000 – will “contribute to the further development of Surrey’s Cultural Corridor, and create a much needed venue to support art making and creative collaborations in City Centre,” Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said in an April 13 news release announcing the initiative.

Royal Canadian and Streetrich have been selected to operate the facility, in tandem, following the city’s 2015 call for proposals to local arts organizations.

Construction work at the currently vacant, L-shaped building – a former auto shop – is set to begin in July, with a projected opening date later this year.

King said the theatre company will use the space for rehearsals, set construction and its youth education program.

“One of my biggest nightmares and headaches has been finding a place to rehearse everybody and to build scenery,” she said.

“A space like this is vital for a group like ours, and others who may want to use it. Having this kind of infrastructure takes the pressure off, you know, so instead of me talking to realtors five hours

a day, on my knees begging for space, this takes that off my plate so now, I have time for art, creating art, performances.”

The location of the facility, in one of Surrey’s most drug-filled neighbourhoods, doesn’t bother King.

“That doesn’t phase me at all,” she said. “You know I took the Columbia Theatre (in New Westminster) from hooker central, crack-dealer central, to a fully functioning

theatre that had kids in there on a regular basis, with classes, all that…. Having non-drug activities in an area tends to make the dealers and users, along with the hookers, all that, move away a little. It will be a busy building, with stuff happening there all the time, and lights on, it will be a good thing. It becomes its own little oasis, if you like. The bad guys, if you want to call them that, tend to move away from the area then.”

Kia Kadiri, vice-president of Streetrich, said the facility will be “an amazing opportunity” for the hip-hop group.

“We’ve been looking for a space like this, for a school, for a long time. It’s a bit of a dream come true,” she said.

Seven different artist collectives will showcase their work at the new PopUp Newton Gallery + Creative Hub over the next several months.

It’s located on 137 Street at 72 Avenue, in the storefront space previously known as AgentC Gallery.

Month-long exhibits will showcase art by Fraser Valley Potters Guild, Dusty Babes Collective, Z-inc Artist Collective, the Peoples’ Food Security Bureau, Kwantlen Art Collective, SOFIA/c (or South of the Fraser Inter Arts Collective) and AgentC Projects.

“We have several organizations who’ll be using the space successively over the course of the summer and the autumn, and each group will have a different kind of program, a different focus,” said Rhys Edwards, with AgentC Projects.

Edwards is co-curating the group’s “Drawing Landscapes” exhibit, which opens on May 13 and continues until June 19. The show will feature drawings

and video installations featuring performance-based interdisciplinary work (see Agentcprojects.com for more details).

The roots for PopUp Newton were planted in 2015 with City of Surrey funding, as part of a “cultural corridor” on King George Boulevard.

The gallery concept was developed “from a desire to showcase art work

and further establish a space where the community can interact directly with artists and each other through creative exploration,” Todd Ayotte, Surrey’s cultural development co-ordinator, told Black Press.

The gallery-launching “Drawing Landscapes” exhibit will include works by Genevieve Robertson, prOphecy sun, Sandee More and Adrian Diaz.

Next up, starting on June 23, Fraser Valley Potters Guild will present a working interactive studio, as well as an exhibition of work by members.

July’s exhibit will feature Dusty Babes Collective (Dustybabes.com), which involves artists/feminists/ceramicists working in a shared studio in Surrey.

For two days this summer, on July 9 and Aug. 6, Z-inc Artist Collective will utilize its custom-built, portable “selfie boxes,” designed for social-media use.

More gallery info, including details about exhibits scheduled for later this year, can be found online at Facebook.com/popupnewton.

Surrey rumours persist

Giants move to LangleyGary AhujaBlack Press

After months of rumour and speculation, the Vancouver Giants have made it official — they are moving to Langley.

The Western Hockey League franchise made the announcement Tuesday morning at the Langley Events Centre.

The agreement is for 10 years, said Ron Toigo, the Giants’ majority owner.

The major-junior hockey club entered the WHL in 2001 and spent their first 15 years at the Pacific Coliseum, winning the 2006 WHL championship and the 2007 Memorial Cup.

But the team has struggled with attendance – and on the ice – the past few seasons. They averaged 5,815 fans per game in 2014/15 but that number dropped to 5,169 this past season, though the latter number is still higher than the WHL’s league average. The LEC holds 5,276 fans but Toigo said there is a possibility 1,000 seats could be added.

“The bottom line is we haven’t been a very good team for the last number of years, which certainly played a big role in this,” Toigo said of the attendance woes.

The Giants played six games at the LEC in 2010 while the Pacific Coliseum was hosting events for the Vancouver Olympic Games. Toigo said it was not a smooth transition back then, citing traffic congestion and parking issues.

Dating back to last year, there has been speculation the Giants would eventually move to Surrey, though a public-private partnership that would see a new arena built near the Scott Road SkyTrain station never quite got off the ground.

On Tuesday, Toigo didn’t exactly put an end to the Giants-to-Surrey rumblings.

“I don’t know if it puts an end to those (rumours),” he said. “Right now, we are really focused on this. We put that on the back burner. The focus is to make it work here.”

The Giants commissioned a professional polling company to conduct a survey of Metro Vancouver and Toigo said the numbers were staggering.

The poll showed that 80 per cent of the respondents said they would buy tickets to a game while 40 per cent said they would buy season tickets, should the team move to a south-of-the-Fraser

Nick GreenizanSports Reporter

A campaign by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada to boost awareness of life-saving

defibrillator devices likely won’t find better support than it will at the Peace Arch Curling Club.

After all, it was little more than a year ago that a visiting curler – Vancouver’s Keith Switzer – dropped to the ice in cardiac arrest, only to have his life saved by the presence of an AED (automated external defibrillator) and the quick thinking and expertise of a handful of fellow curlers.

On Jan. 30, 2015, Switzer, a 66-year-old member of both Vancouver and Richmond curling clubs, was curling

his first game of a mixed-doubles provincial championship tournament, when he suddenly collapsed in the fourth end of the game.

“I’d just had a chance to take a significant lead, but my rock hit something and (spun out)… so I’d come down to the other end of the ice to talk to my partner, but that’s the last thing I remember,” explained Switzer.

“People who saw me said my legs just went out from under me, and I clutched my chest, but I don’t remember any of it.”

On-ice official Scott Mol was the first to respond to Switzer’s fall, and

he was quickly followed by curler Shelley Birston – a registered nurse – and Della Bird, who was at the event with her husband,

Kent, manager of the Peace Arch Curling Centre at the time.

The first assumption, Switzer said, was that he’d slipped on the ice. When it was discovered that Switzer was showing no vital signs, Mol and Birston began performing CPR, 911 was called, and Bird – who was trained on PACC’s in-house AED – used the defibrillator to restart Switzer’s heart.

“They zapped me once and it didn’t take… but they tried it again and that time it worked,” Switzer said. “All of this happened inside of four minutes. The paramedics arrived a few minutes later, but without those three… and without an AED, I don’t know where I’d be.

“I’m just lucky all the way around. They saved my life.”

Switzer was whisked away to hospital

Contributed photoPickleball players take part in a round-robin event Sunday in South Surrey.

One of the fastest growing sports on the Semiahmoo Peninsula – pickleball – was front-and centre in South Surrey last weekend.

The Surrey Pickleball Club held its spring launch event Saturday on pickleball and tennis courts at South Surrey Athletic Park, with 58 players taking part.

The round-robin style event was a “great success” according to club

member Jane Cassie, who added that the organization has seen more than 200 new members join the ranks in the past year.

Pickleball is a racket sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis and table tennis.

Former South Surrey jockey Mario Gutierrez will take a crack at his second Kentucky Derby title this weekend.

The prestigious horse race – the first leg of horse-racing’s Triple Crown – is set for Sunday at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky. and Gutierrez’s horse, Nyquist, is the pre-race favourite.

Nyquist – owned and trained by the same team that owned Gutierrez’s previous Derby-winning ride, I’ll Have Another – is listed by oddsmakers as the 10-3 favourite this week.

The Mexican-born

Gutierrez – who lived in South Surrey during his time racing at Hastings Park Racecourse in Vancouver under horse-owner Glen Todd – now lives in California.

Gutierrez and I’ll Have Another won both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, but the Triple Crown was not to be – I’ll Have Another was scratched from the Belmont Stakes due to tendonitis in the horse’s left front leg.

Sunday’s Kentucky Derby is set for 3:35 p.m. PST.

location.“This is where the growth

is, this is where the young families are, this is where our demographic is,” he said.“You can get to (Langley) from everywhere.”

And while the team is expected to save a substantial amount of money with the move to the Fraser Valley, that was not the only factor.

“It is all about the best environment for the Giants to

succeed and helping our young guys to become the players they want to be,” Toigo said, adding that he figures the atmosphere created by a full house in a facility the size of the LEC is worth “at least four or five wins a year.”

The Giants also have plenty of connections to the Semiahmoo Peninsula. Current assistant coach Matt Erhart was the head coach of the Surrey Eagles from 2010-2013, leading the team to a BCHL title in his final

season with the team. As well, Semiahmoo Minor Hockey alums Matt Barberis, Trevor Cox and John Wesley were all members of last season’s Giants squad, and Valley West Hawks’ star James Malm is also a Giants’ prospect.

With the Giants taking over as the anchor tenant at the LEC, the BC Hockey League’s Langley Rivermen – division rivals of the Surrey Eagles – will move to the George Preston Recreation Centre.

Valley ‘is where the growth is’ from page 23

soon after, and after doctors discovered his main coronary artery was “fully blocked,” he underwent open-heart surgery at Vancouver General Hospital. The robotic-assisted surgery was far less invasive than traditional open-heart surgery, Switzer said, which shortened recovery time.

“The good news is this happened near the end of the curling season, so I didn’t miss too much,” he joked. “And I was back again in September.”

He ran into the Birds soon after his return, at a bonspiel in Abbotsford.

“I get goosebumps every time I see him,” Della Bird said. “I’m was scary, but I’m so glad we had the tools to help him.”

Switzer’s recovery went smoothly – in fact, he joked that “I find myself leaping tall buildings” now that his heart is in proper working order – but he knows there are many others who are not as lucky.

It is why he agreed to take part in the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s push for AED awareness – a campaign that

includes the launch of a new smartphone app, “Call. Push. Restart.” The app walks people through the steps required to perform CPR as well as how to use an AED.

While Switzer says many curling rinks across the country now have AEDs, he encourages more athletic facilities – especially those popular among seniors – to install them, and more people to learn how to use them.

“I showed no earlier signs of heart problems, and these things come without warning. They say that 98 per cent of people don’t make it, so I was in that lucky two per cent, but I could’ve been somewhere else,” Switzer said. “There is a value and a need for these devices.”

SUSTAINABLE HOMES:

Making the switch towards energy-effi cient homes

Whether you consider yourself a strict environmentalist or someone who simply loves the idea of being kind to the planet without impeding your lifestyle, there is no better opportunity than a home renova-tion to take advan-tage of simple eco-friendly resources, especially with more builders implement-ing green practices. Progressively more builders who break ground have the goal to achieve a home that produces more energy than it con-sumes. Th is is great news for homebuyers. “Buyers are much more educated than they used to be and they want quality, healthy, and comfortable homes,” says Joe Geluch, president of Nai-koon Contracting Ltd. He says his company has seen the momentum of sustainable development building for years and there is certainly a huge pool of buyers that have sus-tainability and energy effi ciency as one of their main requirements for purchasing new.On the other hand, Robert Grimm,

principal of Portrait Homes says most of their purchasers aren’t nec-essarily concerned as much about sustainability as they are about energy effi ciency. “Energy effi ciency directly aff ects

their living expenses, which is why I believe it to be im-portant to them,” he says. “Environmental impact is not as im-portant of a factor.”Nonetheless, most developers are embracing green technologies and concepts into their designs and build-ing. According to Grimm, since the trend towards green-er-living, some of the biggest changes over the years in home development

are high-effi ciency furnaces, heat pumps, and Low E windows. Most developers are also embracing storm water management systems in their community design.If someone doesn't have the money to do a major overhaul to make a home greener, Grimm says that depending on the age of the home, draft proofi ng and high effi ciency furnaces are the lowest budget im-provements with the highest return.

By Nicolle Hodges

1. A home constructed to a premium level of energy effi ciency: We always target a minimum of 30% better than the "average" home. We use the Energuide scale as administered by NRcan and the Canadian Home Builders Association. Better buildings envelope, and windows and air tightness are the key to this. Also, adding some renewables like Solar PV is popular and makes a lot of sense these days. Net Zero Housing - remember that - as it will become more front and center over the next year or two.

2. Indoor comfort and air quality for the occupants: Think heating and ventilations system, location of glazing and operable windows, as well as the prod-ucts used in the home. A must have is an HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) which runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, year round, and continually exchanges the air in the home so it remains fresh. The kicker is that it extracts the heat from inside and uses that heat exchange to pre-heat the fresh air coming into the home. The use of no- toxic products throughout construction is important as well. A lot of products will off-gas for years after installation. Always be con-scious of what is in the products. We always keep all doors and windows open for a 24-hour period at the end of construction to "fl ush out” the home.

3. Waste management, use of material, and general environmental consideration: Generally speaking we are successful at recycling over 90% of the construc-tion waste produced on site. Other things like drought tolerant using native plants in the landscape, collect-ing rain water for use, low fl ow plumbing fi xtures, fl y ash in concrete and so many more simple, low, or no cost items to think about when building. All of these small things begin to add up and make a huge positive impact on the environment. Try registering the home in some of the great rating systems out there like En-ergy Star, Built Green, LEED, passive haus or R-2000.

Another thing that homebuyers love is award win-ning developments. The GVHBA Ovation awards are the premier award show in Greater Vancouver and the majority of winners are incorporating sustainability into their projects, which is leading to very successful sales numbers. “One thing I can guarantee is that sustainable hous-ing is not going away and will continue to progress at a rapid pace in this province and globally,” says Geluch.Grimms agrees. “The Province is pushing toward a net zero home by 2020 so building greener will continue going forward.”

EMBRACING GREEN TECHNOLOGIES:

From thorough use of materials and installing energy-effi cient appliances, there are things builders are doing to keep a home environmentally-friendly from the get-go:

1925-2016

“Our Beautiful Mom”On April 27, 2016 our beautiful Mom went to Heaven. Mom passed away peacefully in her cherished home, surrounded by her entire family who loved and adored her.Mom was born to Lloyd and Nina Hiles in New Westmin-ster, December 30, 1925. As a young person, Mom enjoyed horseback riding, dancing and travelling with her best friend Dot. Mom met the love of her life, a handsome, young Air Force pilot named Walter at the 1945 Mayday Ball and their fi rst dance that night led to a lifelong dance.

They married July 23, 1949 and settled in New Westminster.They welcomed their fi rst son, Billy, in 1951. The next year, following Mom’s dreams they left the city and moved to a little farm in the country, where they welcomed their second child, Janie, in 1953. With Dad’s desire to further his engineering degree and Mom’s eagersupport, they packed up their little family and moved to live on campus at Oregon State University.Dad returned home an accomplished Civil Engineer and much of this due to Mom’s hard work supporting the family during this time.Following their return to live on the little farm, Mom and Dad welcomed their third child, Laurie, in 1958 and Patti completed the family in 1960. While raising her young family, Mom pursued her dreams building our beautiful family home, going to college and starting her own business. Our family home had open doors to all our friends and extended family and became a center of all family gatherings. Mom’s greatest role began when she became a grand-mother (Mudgie as she was called) to her fourteen adoring grand-children and thirteen great grandchildren.Mom leaves behind the love of her life and devoted husband Walter,children Bill (Lisa), Patti (Lanny), Janie (Terry #36), Laurie (Terry), Robin.A Very special thank you to Mom’s wonderful caregivers, Maria, Rosalie, Marilyn, Maribel and Irene, who provided her comfort, friendship and love in Mom’s fi nal years.

In 1966 Stan and Marie jour-neyed to Canada with their chil-dren, where Marie embarked on a new career path from

nursing to become a childcare teacher. In 1971 she opened Green Timbers Daycare, later becoming the owner/operator of the Star of the Sea Pre School. Marie was passionate about quality childcare and was an advocate for young children. Marie took on the role as Education Chairperson for the Star of the Sea Catholic School. Marie was highly respected over the 40 years of service that she had dedicated to childcare.

In 2011 Marie and Stan returned to England and in true fashion, lived their life to the fullest. They were married for almost 67 years, and will always be remembered as the loving couple that was forev-er meant to be together. They will be dearly missed.

A requiem mass will be held for Marie on 24 May, 2016 at 10 am. At St. Mary Magdalene R C church Bexhill, U.K. In lieu of fl owers please make a donation to cancer fund.

Listiak Donalyn Judith, (née Schwartz), "Judy"

Nov 5, 1948 – April 17, 2016

Judy passed away peacefully at the Vancouver General Hospital. She died at the far too young age of 67 due to lymphoma.

Judy was a successful entrepreneur, professional account (CPA, CMA), board director, provincial fi nancial offi cer and elected national board member of the society of Management Accountants.

She successfully represented clients before the Tax Court of Canada where very few cases are won. She was also a published author, has been featured on CBC TV News, The Bottom Line, The Toronto Star, The Globe and Mail and hosted the television show People and Policies. Judy was loving, very generous with family and friends and a world traveler. She held to the Lutheran faith and looked forward to being with her parents and brother in heaven.

Judy is predeceased by her parents Henry and Martha [née Kuhnle] Schwartz and by her brother James Schwartz. She is survived by her brother Douglas Schwartz, his wife Yvette (née Couture), her brother Rodney Schwartz, his wife Jane (née Friesen) and their four children Jerret, Crystal, Preston and Angelica.

We miss you Judy so very much. God bless you!

As an expression of sympathy, memorial contributions may be sent to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada.

A celebration of Life for Judy will be held on May 10th at 11:00 am

at the St. John’s Presbyterian Church at 1480 George St., White Rock, BC

ROBINSONMargaret Lily

January 12, 1916 - April 15, 2016

Margaret passed away peacefully at the age of 100 in the Ladner Hos-pice April 15, 2016.

Our Mom lived her life with grace, compassion and love. She was a humble and gentle soul who showed kindness to everyone.

She was an honorary life-time member of the Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary. One of her fondest memories was helping her friend, Vera Middleton establish and oper-ate the fi rst hospital Gift Shop.

Mom’s love and devotion to her family and pride in her grand-children was beyond measure. She kept current with the Canucks and the P.G.A. through the years in order to take part in discussions with her grandchildren.

Missing and loving her always: her four children: Ian (Cindy), Jean (Howard), Kathy (Reg), Ken (Lisa). Eight grandchildren: Colin (Tamaki), Kevin (Tami), Trevor (Nicole), Dan, Jana (Eric), Haley (Brett), Layne, Will. Four great-grandchildren: Allen, Ronan, Chloe. Loïc. Sisters: Lilian (Walt) and Ina. Five nieces and nephews and families: Elaine, Jim, Renee, Ken and David.

A heartfelt thank you to the 3rd fl oor staff of Yale Road Centre and the Ladner Hospice for the care and compassion shown to Margaret and her family in the fi nal week of her life. Thank you to Gordon of Sunnyside United Church for his caring and compassion.

Margaret’s faith kept her strong and focused. She lived and died with courage, grace and love.
