Misdirected email

Councillor criticizes leadershipKevin DiakiwBlack Press

In an email not meant for public consumption, a Surrey councillor is taking direct aim at the prov-ince for lack of leadership when it comes to funding schools.

Last week, Coun. Barbara Steele sent the email to a Surrey resident, responding “NO LEADERSHIP.”

The email appeared to be a mis-step, with Steele replying to the resident instead of forwarding it to someone else, as she intended.

The resident, who asked to remain unnamed, pro-vided Black Press with a copy of the May 4 email exchange. In it, she com-plained to Steele about a planned 181-townhome project for 5750 Panorama Dr. and the impact it will have on fur-ther stressing already-overcrowded schools.

“I attended a (Surrey city) council meeting on May 2 and admit expe-riencing shocking disappointment at the leadership, or lack thereof, displayed there,” the resident wrote in an email to Steele.

A bounty of weapons, cash and drug par-aphernalia was seized during last week’s search of a White Rock home, police announced this week.

In a news release issued Wednesday after-noon, investigators with the Mounties’ anti-gang unit list a Kriss Vector .45 ACP rifle, a loaded Smith and Wesson handgun and a Browning Deringer handgun as among six weapons seized from a home and vehicle in

the 800-block of Parker Street as part of the May 3 operation.

More than nine kilograms of compressed heroin and cocaine, 408 grams of crystal methamphetamine, 27 bottles of “Ephed-rine HCL”, approximately $7,000 cash, 773 rounds of ammunition and a quantity of unknown tablets and powder were among other items discovered in the process.

“Test results have now confirmed the pres-

ence of fentanyl in the house,” the release states. “Investigators will now await the results on the analysis of the majority of the unknown powders.”

When Diane Malo and husband John adopted 3½-year-old Zoë, the South Surrey couple knew that the mini-Dalmatian needed to heal from a life of neglect.

The dog’s journey from fearful to fun-loving in the months since her rescue last summer

was recognized last Friday with an Animal Courage Award, and the dog lovers’ role in that progress is undeniable.

But Malo never predicted just how much of an impact Zoë would have on her own healing. In March – six months after adopting Zoë, and on the Malos’ 36th anniversary – John died unexpectedly at age 68.

“It’s been tough, but I must say, Zoë is just so tuned in,” Malo said Tuesday. “Anytime we need a bit of affection, she’s just right up there.

“When we first had her, those first six months, we were just trying to do everything to help her adjust, to gain confidence and to face some of her fears. I think she really did a lot of healing

White Rock proposal located just south of town-centre zoning

No support for ‘premature’ 17-floor towerAlex Browne & Melissa SmalleyStaff Reporters

A major development permit application for a 17-storey residential highrise on White Rock’s lower Johnston Road – half-a-block south of the city’s town centre – has received a tepid-at-best initial reaction from mem-bers of council.

At Monday’s land use and planning com-mittee meeting, several described the appli-cation as “premature” at a time when the city’s Official Community Plan review is still pending.

The 138-unit development, proposed by the Salterra Group, would include three-to-four storeys of commercial and residential “podium fronting” at the site, 1350 Johnston Rd., currently home to Deals World.

As part of an update report on current development applications, acting plan-ning and development services manager Eric Shaw told the committee the proposal

would require rezoning from commercial to comprehensive development, and an Official Community Plan amendment.

The most outspoken reaction came from Coun. Helen Fathers.

“This would be ill-advised to go forward,” she said, noting that, at present, “there has been no planning with regard to lower John-ston Road.”

“If ever we were going to be shot, before, by the community, we would be shot for this one,” Fathers said.

Coun. Lynne Sinclair noted the proposal is very different from another application presented to the committee, a 23-storey, 204-unit seniors independent-living facility planned for Johnston and North Bluff roads, proposed by PARC Retirement Living.

That one is within the town centre area, which is already pre-zoned for development up to 265 feet (25 storeys) in height.

“I’m very pleased to see the PARC proposal

come forward,” Sinclair said, adding she feels it offers the kind of housing development that White Rock should be encouraging.

“But I’m concerned about the nature of the one farther south,” she said.

The Salterra property falls just outside of the town centre boundaries – which extend from North Bluff Road to Thrift Avenue, and Martin Street to George Street – and is currently zoned for a maximum of only 35.1 feet in height.

In a corporate report about the develop-ment, staff note that as part of the current OCP review, which launched in February 2015, “the boundaries and relationships of the Town Centre and Town Centre adjacent areas will be considered.”

Mayor Wayne Baldwin – while noting the Salterra Group “has owned that property for 20 years; they’ve been very patient” – agreed that it would be premature “when we’re on the verge of completing the OCP review.”

Proceeding further with the application at present would be “allowing the developer to amend the OCP for us,” he suggested.

“We should wait for the OCP and see how it goes.”

Staff are currently reviewing the develop-ment application, and a public-information meeting has been scheduled for May 31, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at White Rock Community Centre.

Proponents for the PARC application, who initially announced the project in December at 19 storeys, presented a revised proposal to the economic investment committee last month, and said the decision to make the building “taller and thinner” came after dis-cussions with city staff.

A development permit application is expected to be submitted by PARC this week, with a public-information meeting scheduled for May 24, 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the community centre.

in that time – now, the roles have just kind of reversed.”

Zoë was among 35 dogs res-cued last August from what BC SPCA officials described at the time as “disgusting” conditions – including improper access to food, water and shelter – at a south Cloverdale property. Six-teen horses and six cats were also seized that day. All of the animals were in various states of malnu-trition, and horses’ hooves were “grossly overgrown.”

Zoë had been kept with other dogs in crowded cages, with no room to turn around. When res-cued, her head had scabs from rubbing against her crate.

She was fearful of anything new; afraid to even go for walks, through doorways or on stairs.

SPCA senior animal protec-tion officer Eileen Drever told Peace Arch News in August that the individual associated with the seizure had been familiar to investigators “for 20 years.”

Animal-cruelty charges were recommended in connection with the seizure, however, as of this week, none have been laid.

Malo said it’s distressing to hear that people continue to subject animals to such conditions.

“What breaks my heart is with all of these apprehensions, you keep hearing on the media that these people have had previous dealings with the BC SPCA,” she said. “It’s just so unfair to these animals.”

BC SPCA chief prevention and enforcement officer Marcie Mori-arty explained this week that the issue is a complex one, and that it could be helped by regulations around the puppy-mill industry.

She said she is encouraged by ongoing consultation by the pro-vincial government to change that.

“The way the current act is

worded… we’re required to give the person an opportunity to relieve the distress,” Moriarty said. “Over and over, these people, they will comply. They just sit on that line… they know the law.”

She said the public can help by buying animals only from breed-ers who can demonstrate compli-ance with regulations.

“The solution to the suffering of dogs and cats in puppy and kitten mills lies in public educa-tion, regulation… and ensuring we aren’t supporting these opera-tions with our dollars,” she said.

At last week’s awards ceremony, the courage and resilience of animals like Zoë in overcoming their suffering, along with their capacity for forgiveness, was described as “so inspiring.”

Malo said Zoë is still shy around men, and is startled by sudden movements or noise, but she has come a long way. If a visi-tor approaches with that in mind, “she’d probably lick your hand.”

On walks and at the dog park, Zoë’s appreciation for her new-found freedom is obvious.

“To watch her, she loves to just run, and she prances when I take her out on the trails,” Malo said. “That sense of freedom – think about for yourself, if you never had any freedom to get up and

walk around, get outside…”Zoë is Malo’s fourth rescue dog,

and Malo admits it was her hus-band who convinced her to take the Dalmatian on.

“I really wasn’t sure that I wanted to go through that again,” she said, referring to the heart-break of losing her three previ-ous dogs. “It didn’t take us any time before we were thoroughly in love with her.”

Malo said she doesn’t hesitate to share how Zoë came into her life, “because it’s just such a suc-cess story for her.”

“She should never have been put in the barn situation to begin with, but she’s been resilient,” she said. “It’s just so rewarding to see that tail wagging. When we first got her, that tail was always down between her legs.

“Most of the time now, it’s just wagging as fast as it can.”

And just as Malo was there when Zoë needed her, the pint-sized pooch continues to return the favour when needed.

“Every once in a while there’s something that just triggers a tear,” Malo said. “Even before… I can turn and look at her, and she’s already focused on me. I don’t know what it is, but she has some sense that I need her, and she’s right there.”

storey home around 5:30 p.m. May 3. Members of the RCMP’s Clandestine Laboratory Enforcement and Response Team were called to assist in deter-mining if the site was a clandestine drug lab.

Staff Sgt. Lindsey Houghton told Peace Arch News the next day that the investigation had been ongo-ing for “about a couple months.”

Two people – a 46-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman – were arrested at the home on the day of the search. As of Wednesday, the man remained in custody for breach of unrelated bail conditions, and the woman had been released on a promise to appear. Both are expected to be charged in connec-tion with the White Rock incident.

Alex BrowneStaff Reporter

White Rock council has agreed to host a public forum on medical marijuana, at a date yet to be specified.

The decision was the result of a motion by Coun. Dave Chesney, seconded by Coun. Helen Fathers, to hold a forum to get community feedback on what dispensing medical marijuana in the city could, or should, look like.

The motion followed a council decision Monday accepting recommen-dations to shoot down, for now, a pilot project for dispensing medical marijuana in White Rock.

In a corporate report, city manager Dan Bottrill argued that for the city to take on such a project would be pre-mature while still illegal under existing federal legislation, and currently forbid-den under the city’s zoning bylaw.

“We acknowledge that the federal gov-ernment intends to legalize marijuana in 2017, but that time is not yet,” Bottrill told council.

The report came in response to a pre-sentation to council last year by mari-juana advocate Victor ‘Randy’ Caine, who requested White Rock’s support for a pilot project.

However, noting that federal legislation would take precedence over any local governments’ desire to prohibit dispen-saries, Bottrill recommended that staff prepare an amendment to White Rock’s Business License Bylaw to provide that a business that falls under federal jurisdic-tion must comply with all laws, rules and regulations imposed by federal authori-ties.

“If the laws change, we may want to engage the community – there will be

time and opportunity to have that engagement.”

But that was not soon enough for Chesney, who noted that, after his late wife was diagnosed with cancer, “the quality of her life was definitely impacted by medical marijuana.”

“Rather than stop this dead in its tracks, (we should) get input from the community,” he said. “So many people have been helped by this.”

Couns. Lynne Sinclair and Bill Law-rence were among those who spoke in support of Chesney’s motion.

“It’s a very serious subject, and we’re hamstrung until the (federal) govern-ment decides,” Sinclair said.

“It’s a worthwhile exercise to get the pulse or feeling of the community on this,” Lawrence said.

What White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin intended to accomplish this week when he introduced a proposed Code

of Ethics and Conduct for Members of Council is not entirely clear.

The document, tabled at a governance and legislation committee meeting Monday, was not well-received by his colleagues. All but Coun. Bill Lawrence, who chaired the committee and remained mum, said they had no intention of signing the agreement, the essence of which they felt was covered by their oath of office.

Baldwin later explained the proposed code came about after complaints about the level of respect among council members.

While it’s encouraging to see the mayor attempting to restore decorum to council – which has had more than a few squabbles this term – and equally as refreshing to see members of the White Rock Coalition assert individual independence, portions of the proposed code raise more questions.

One highlight would prevent members of council from “any public or private criticism of our administration wherein individual employees are identified.” Should elected officials not be encouraged to speak out – whether in support or opposition – of city initiatives? Is that not, in part, what they are elected to do?

Of course, city staff members do not deserve to be dragged through the mud, but that hardly means council members must remain silent on matters of city business. A quick look at the Marine Drive hillside, the overhaul of waste collection and the ongoing issue of highrise development, and we are reminded of the many divisive issues that warranted a much more critical – and public – debate by city leaders.

Other commitments outlined in Baldwin’s code include referring complaints about council decisions or actions to the chief administrative officer for review and followup, and refraining from making commitments on behalf of council to groups or citizens. Had these rules been implemented, it would seem to be yet an additional communication roadblock between residents and the elected officials they trust.

Whether the intent behind the covenant was a genuine step towards a more cohesive council, or an attempt to muzzle its members, we will risk being patronizing and remind all elected officials – as noted in one of the document’s bullet points – that they are to “make decisions… in the best interest of the citizens.”

Crackingthe code

opinionPeace Arch News

By last Monday afternoon, my friend’s biggest concern was his pants.

Specifically, they were too short for his six-foot-three frame, barely covering his ankles. Had it been a flood he was fleeing, rather than a fire, he would’ve been fine.

Instead, he was in Leduc, Alta., displaced – along with his wife and two dogs – about 500-km south of their home in Fort McMurray.

My friend had been forced to wear the ill-fitting sweatpants because he hadn’t yet had time to shop, and the only other clothes he had were shorts and tank tops, as they’d just returned to Alberta from a vacation in sunnier climes.

The wildfire ravaged their city while they were gone.

And though his outfit wasn’t exactly his best look, both he and his wife considered themselves lucky that they did not have larger problems.

Unlike so many in Fort McMurray, they did not lose their home, though it was days before they knew for sure.

They had spent much of their vacation a few days earlier sitting poolside, trying, through spotty Mexican-resort Wi-Fi, to connect with friends and family, while

frantically hitting ‘refresh’ on Facebook and Twitter updates.

I did the same, reading news article after news article and tweet after tweet late into the night.

And, as expected when a disaster of this magnitude happens, misinformation ran rampant. Over the course of an afternoon, my friends were told that their entire street – on the west edge of town – had burned to the ground; then, that it was untouched; then, that only one house had been lost, but it was an even-numbered address, as opposed to their odd-numbered home.

Then, finally, real proof. An up-to-date Google satellite image was released late last week and posted across a number of news websites.

They could see their roof. In the end, a number of homes in my

friends’ neighbourhood were lost – entire subdivisions slightly west of them, in fact. The townhouses immediately behind their house – if you stood on their backyard property line, you could almost touch one – were gone, too.

A few hours later, a friend of a friend of a firefighter – one of the few people left in town – took photos of my friends’ house, and they were passed along to them.

In one photo, their detached garage is gone, the fire having gutted it.

But their house – just feet from the garage – was still standing. Likely damaged from both smoke and heat, but standing nonetheless.

In another photo, it is clear that a powerful stream of water had flowed down the driveway to the curb. Firefighters, one suspects, had made it there as the garage burned and were able to fight back the flames and save their home, as well as their neighbours’.

And though their losses total in the thousands – nothing insurance shouldn’t cover – my two friends have repeatedly said how extraordinarily lucky they feel, both because the biggest wildfire in Alberta history stopped less than six feet from their back door, and because of the support they received from friends, family and strangers along the way.

It must be an incredibly helpless feeling, watching your city burn from afar.

While it will be some time before they’ll be able to return home and assess the damage for themselves, my friends are starting to settle into their new reality. They’ve moved to the southern part of the province for the next few weeks at least, and have started making back-to-work plans.

My lanky friend even had time this week to pick up a few new pairs of jeans, though truth be told, his flood-pants never seemed to bother him much.

“Could be worse,” he said, after I’d sent him a text message poking fun at his evacuee-chic wardrobe. “Besides, I’ve got pants at home.”

Sound views strike discordEditor:Re: Tracking potential rail solutions, May 6 letters.

Chuck Hatler’s letter to the editor seems to suggest that homeowners just need to reinforce their windows and/or insulation in order to block the train noise.

Really? Do we have to close our windows all year long, too?

With all due respect to the letter writer, there is no reason why those horns need to be constantly blasting at all hours of the night and day!

I have lived in White Rock for over 20 years both uptown and downtown, and the sound radiates regardless of where you live or what kind of structure you live in.

My grandparents were also born and raised in White Rock, and the train tracks have always been there and the citizens just lived with it. But at no time were there loud train horns blasting away! Bells and whistles were always used back in the day so as to not wake up the dead and give us all our right to quiet enjoyment, but the powers that be wanted that changed and we are now where we are at today.

I think letter-writer Dennis Smith in the same edition said it best, in that thousands of dollars have now been spent “building safer crossings and enough fencing to please Donald Trump… however, the blasting continues.”

Perhaps it’s time pedestrians started taking some responsibility in being more vigilant and the train conductors in following BNSF’s own posted signs that clearly states “trains will not sound their horns between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.”

Why not also use bells and whistles when required, as they worked for many years with no casualties? It seems highly unfair to assume that homeowners should have to make all the sacrifices in every sense of the word.Cheryl Berti, White Rock

At last a solution all the way from Kansas City, Mo. from a retired BNSF employee, solidly unbiased and enjoying our train drama.

Regarding the folks who complain about the train noise, letter-writer Chuck Hatler suggests the complainers most probably have leaky windows and/or insufficient insulation. And if they live on the hillside, they should expect more noise of the trains.

What a revelation… How could we have been so ignorant, so stupid, all these years? It is not the train, not the drivers hanging on the horn while everybody sleeps, not Warren Buffet… it is us, the stupid people of White Rock, who have those million-dollar homes with leaky windows.

It took Hatler one visit of the window company to his house, when the trucks on a nearby highway woke him up and only one window was replaced. And he has slept peacefully ever since.

By the way, Mr. Hatler, did that nearby highway go through your front lawn as our train does, do those trucks have horns that are

designed to blow cattle off the tracks and do the drivers – many of them – hang on those horns while there is hardly any reason for it?

Of course, some of them are decent enough to pass through White Rock without blowing their horn a single time during the night; thank you to those guys.

From my concrete house on the hillside, with special, Low-E, double-glazed windows and 13-inch walls, I’m disgusted every time a train goes past, grinding my teeth about the shortsightedness of the people who sold this piece of coastline and the NDP official who could have cancelled the project and did not.

Come on, Mr. Hatler, get real.Jacob Besteman, White Rock

Re: Clock chimes irk resident, May 6.Maybe it’s time to remind people

that they choose to live in this lovely community with trains and chimes from the clock tower.

Three potential rail solutions for the complainers in White Rock:

One, move out of the area.The rail line has been in this area

for decades. Accept that it is part of the White Rock culture – a tourist attraction – or move on!

Insofar as BNSF blowing their horn before entering the city, they are damned if they do, and damned if they don’t, should some idiot be on the tracks and maimed or killed if the horn were not sounded.

As I see it, the safety structure for BNSF passing through White Rock is the best I’ve ever seen – and I’ve lived near many train stations.

Two, why should the majority of taxpayers in White Rock/Surrey foot the bill for millions – perhaps even billions – of dollars (Cities present four rail-route options, Nov. 28, 2013) just to gratify the few along the rail line that might be annoyed?

And three, any serious consideration of moving these tracks is simply mind-blowing stupidity and a joke. Give it a break!

But now, folks, read on to Page 10 of the Peace Arch News, an article titled “Clock chimes irk resident” – because the woman is disturbed in the afternoon, wanting to just “read in silence” and mentions the possible concerns of hospital shift workers and other retirees.

Tears are now flowing from my eyes! Why does this end up in print?Gerry Dwyer, Surrey

Grateful for scam adviceEditor:Re: Income tax-arrest scam continues, May 4.

I wanted to thank Peace Arch News regarding the informative article about income-tax scammers that have been viciously victimizing so many innocent people.

The scammers randomly phone victims and fraudulently represent themselves as Revenue Canada officers demanding immediate funds.

I received one of these phone calls earlier this year, which caused me a fair amount of stress. I was grateful for available resources that helped me flag the caller as a scam.

The scammers use blatant threats, but they also use a professional manner that makes the threats believable. It is almost as if they have consulted a psychologist to help them write their dialogue in a manner to take advantage of the human psyche by triggering specific anxieties.

The scammers are cowardly but very intelligent and, as it says in Tracy Holmes’ article, it is difficult to catch the scammers because they utilize technology that make it difficult to trace the calls.

Unfortunately, I can see how many people could fall victim to this scam.Colin Fletcher, White Rock

Contributed photosCity of White Rock’s decision to clear the hillside of foliage last year (left) seems shortsighted months later (right).

Editor:I wonder why the City of White Rock does not spend

our tax dollars more effectively. Last fall, White Rock spent considerable money in

an attempt to eradicate the local invasive blackberry bushes on the Marine Drive hump.

This spring, they have grown back twice as thick.I’m wondering if the plan is to repeat this waste of

money again and again until their three-year plan comes to fruition. Is this going to be an annual waste of funds, and to what extent is it achieving any long-term solution?

I’ve attached pictures of what the hillside looked like after they spent the money last fall and what it looks like today. Any work done has gone down the drain.

A second area of concern relates to their ability to perform any level of proper project management. There are several elements to project management missing from a long-term solution for the White Rock hillside:• Identifying and disclosing measurable objectives at the

outset;• Proactive – rather than reactive – stakeholder

communication of the objectives, including the budget;• Having an overall plan, versus developing annual

tactics to get them thru the next step. What’s the plan for the eyesore that has been waiting

to get cleaned up for the last six months? (Lack of city plan surprises enviro adviser, Feb. 19)

Planting the idea of a paved parking lot (‘Hump parking’ memo surprises council, March 1) and then announcing it will be another three years before they have the project completed. You certainly didn’t hear that last year when they reactively communicated what they were doing (We should have had bluff plan: Baldwin, June 3).

You also don’t get the feeling that BNSF Railway – a key stakeholder – has been involved in any meaningful planning sessions (Hillside answers sought, May 20, 2015).

Maybe they should be investing in someone who has this skill set or understands the process to actually assemble and manage a plan.

I have lived in White Rock for 26 years. The last few years, the city has seen a significant deterioration in the quality of municipal management and fiscal responsibility of spending taxpayer dollars.

Maybe it is time to hand it over to Surrey to do a better job. Dave Ludwar, White Rock

news


Rosemary Heights residents are rallying behind owners of their neighbourhood corner store, following news the business’s lease would not be renewed.

“We need to do something here,” said Lorraine Klassen, who routinely brings her grandchildren to the Rosemary Heights Market.

“Every neighbourhood has a community store.”Owners of the market, located at 3388 Rosemary

Heights Cresc., learned earlier this year that the latest lease, which expires June 30, would not be renewed.

In late March, Gurdeep Duggal – in declining to go public with the issue at the time – told Peace Arch News the situation was “a big headache for

me,” but that he hoped that an appeal to landlord Ocean Park Development, backed by a petition from customers, would change the decision.

However, Duggal’s son, Gurk, said last Friday that has not been the case.

“It’s end of the lease and they’re not renewing it. The landlord doesn’t even want to meet (with) me.”

Messages left by PAN for the landlord – both in March and last week – were not returned.

Gurk Duggal said 1,500 signatures have been collected in support of keeping the store at the site. If the lease isn’t renewed, it will be the end of the family business, he said.

The store has been in the community for 14 years; the Duggals have owned it since 2010, he said.

The Surrey councillor wrote an email in response the same day, but it was apparently meant for someone else.

“Don’t agree with her com-ments but once again NO LEAD-ERSHIP,” Steele said from her iPhone at 3:55 p.m.

The resident thought Steele was talking about Mayor Linda Hep-ner and pressed for clarification.

Steele responded at 5:08 p.m., saying her comment was directed squarely at the province.

“The leadership or lack thereof was being directed at the Prov-ince,” Steele wrote. “I do want to reassure you though that as a Councillor, the concerns you have for the students are my concerns too. Children in SURREY have been in portables for too long.”

Steele goes on to say that her son, who is now 40 years old, went to school in portables.

The connection between break-neck development and the lack of school space – a longstanding issue in Surrey – has reached a flashpoint in the city, with the school board at its last meeting calling on council to halt new development in Clayton, Newton and Grandview/South Surrey.

Steele told Black Press Wednes-day that her email was sent to the resident in error, but she said she stands behind her criticism of the province.

“The leadership is lacking from the province as to what we’re

supposed to do about the school system,” Steele said. “I think the province needs to get their head around it, and probably quickly, because they have an election coming up.”

She said her criticism was a general comment, not targeting any one individual, noting school funding isn’t calculated until pupils show up in class each year.

“By the time a new school is built, most of those kids are (aged) out of the school already,” Steele said. “Right now, we’re taking the heat for it, the school board is in the middle of it and, in Surrey, it’s a major issue.”

She hopes to meet soon with the Surrey Board of Education and would like to have B.C. Min-ister of Education Mike Bernier there as well.

“It’s a serious problem and we need to sit down and work on it,” Steele said. “But it needs to be more than the city and the school board at the table. The provision of schools belongs squarely at the feet of the province.”

The education ministry said Ber-nier was unavailable for an inter-view, however, his staff responded by email, saying several projects in Surrey are underway.

“We are close to having new schools approved and we’re work-ing closely with the district on a number of projects,” the minis-

try writes. “We’re also looking at innovative ways Surrey can deal with the intense pressures from growth. Some ideas being dis-cussed include larger high schools

or even larger facilities housing two separate elementary schools.”

The email also noted that a high school is under construction in north Clayton, as well as additions to three elementary schools.

“These projects will create 1,870 spaces for Surrey.”

Those spaces will be at capacity when they open.

This isn’t the first time concern over a lack of school space has escalated in Surrey. It became an election issue in 1991, result-ing in then-trustee Penny Priddy taking the riding of Surrey-New-ton for the NDP from Social Credit Premier Rita Johnston.

Priddy said this week that one of the biggest issues at the time was a lack of schools – in Newton and South Surrey particularly.

“(The issues were) friends and insiders and time for a change… but in Surrey, the fact that there were not enough schools to support a growing population was an important piece of that,” Priddy said.

The NDP went on to win 51 of the 75 available seats in the legislature in 1991 and held on to power for a decade.

Steele stands by B.C. criticisms from page 1

www.peacearchnews.com 11 Peace Arch News Friday, May 13, 2016 www.peacearchnews.com 11 Peace Arch News Friday, May 13, 2016 perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula


There’s a demand for events that challenge students to solve problems, and a group of friends at Semiahmoo

Secondary believe they have the answer.Grade 11 students Terry Wang, Jackie

Dong, Steven Yang, Tyler He and Frank Fei said the Semiahmoo Innovation Club is about encouraging their peers to “inquire, inspire, innovate.”

It’s about science, but not the kind found at most large-scale science competitions – those, the teens say, tend to be more about memorizing facts.

“You’re going to somewhere far away to take a test with your friends,” He said. “I’ve been in science competitions and it started to feel like the same thing. That novelty starts to die off.

“We’re trying to get away from all of the paperwork and go to more of the creative

side.”At Semiahmoo Innovation Club, which

formed in the fall of 2014, it’s about using imagination to innovate; about taking a problem and solving it using the most basic of items – such as popsicle sticks and elastic bands – and teamwork.

At an event last May, the teens challenged “everyone who loves building and science” to build two devices – a launcher and a flying

device – which were then tested for power and accuracy through game play.

Next up is an event on May 30, which is a school professional day. Dubbed Airstrike, it will involve a tennis ball, an angled wire and a target.

Open to students of all grades, club members say Airstrike is also their first time expanding the competition to include students from nearby South Surrey schools. The free, three-hour event is to include brainstorming, planning, designing, building, testing and gameplay in the high school’s small gym.

Opening up the competition beyond Semi is “our first step to connect other schools,” He said. He noted that everyone who enters, regardless of previous experience or knowledge, has “a really good, fighting chance of winning.”

The teens say the expansion is also an effort to recruit new members to the club; to

ensure its events and legacy continues. Their goal is to see it become a credit program.

The club has already grown since its inception, from a team of three to a core group of 10 backed by school funding. When no events are in the works, meetings focus on finding and solving problems that exist within the school. One issue the students worked on last year aimed to increase security of gym lockers.

“It’s all about ideas,” Dong said.Fei agreed, noting it’s “possible to do

incredible things with limited resources.”He (Tyler) described it as “science with a

cause.”“We want to help students realize they have

an amazing amount of potential,” he said.“You don’t have to be an academic genius

to change the world. You just have to take the step and create.”

will host its 17th Country Market this Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

According to organizers, the annual fundraiser will include a display by the Greater Vancouver Garden Railway Club, dog-agility demonstrations, pony rides, a petting zoo, vendors, artisans, live music, auctions and more.

“This event is getting bigger and bigger every year,” Serena Gurniak told Peace Arch News by email.

Monies raised will benefit the parent advisory committee fund,

which supports extra-curricular activities for Hall’s Prairie students,

as well as supplies to enrich learning. Funds raised in previous years helped build the school’s playground, Gurniak said.

The school is located at 18035 8 Ave.

For the recordFunds raised by White Rock

firefighters last month through the sale of daffodil pins will benefit the Canadian Cancer Society.

Tax-time. Ugh! As a business owner

of a client-facing service practice, tax time is my least favourite time of the year. What a painful and involved process!

My accountant is terrific, so of course she’d handle all the ‘ugly’ work if I let her, but in some weird way, I feel as though that step is my penance.

And I’m frugal.So, for what feels like an

eternity, I drown in receipts from 2015 as I reconcile how much I’ve spent attracting, connecting and building my community of clients with my income.

Once everything is safely gathered and delivered to my accountant, I’m free to revisit my ‘Taxes’ file in the cabinet with a lighter heart, proud of all I’ve achieved. There, I see all my previous years’ packets of paperwork lined up in a tidy little row. I’m finally free to shred 2009!

However, in this day and age, with identity theft horror stories abounding, I find myself wondering what’s the best way to safely dispose of these documents?

Rotary Club of South Surrey to the rescue!

Just in time for post-tax time and spring cleaning, the club

will be once again be hosting “Shred-It.” Set for Saturday, June 11, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the parking lot of the Ocean Park

Safeway (128 Street and 16 Avenue), the shredathon provides safe on-site document shredding service to all by donation.

Whether it’s small business documents or personal papers that need to be safely disposed of, the mobile on-site shredding truck is equipped with the cutting-edge proprietary paper-shredding technology to handle

the job. Proceeds of this timely and valuable fundraiser will be directed to Pacific Assistance Dog Society (PADS) to aid in procuring a Canine Assisted Intervention (CAI) dog for

Sophie’s Place in Surrey.PADS breeds, raises, trains and

supports certified assistance dogs, partnering them with people living with disabilities, and with community care professionals.

As a past PADS puppy-raiser, this organization is near and dear to my heart. Intervention dogs are meant to assist community care professionals where there would be physical, social or emotional improvement with the addition of a dog and its specially trained dog-handler team.

Sophie’s Place is a child-advocacy centre focused on providing specialized services to physically, mentally and sexually abused children.

Your support gives you the opportunity to participate in the safeguarding of children.

“It’s really important that kids can have a place to go where they can be taken seriously, and where they can express what’s happened to them in a safe environment,” says Sophie Tweed-Simmons, the centre’s patron and namesake.

So, please, gather up your documents and prepare to join us on June 11 to gain peace of mind and warm fuzzies in your heart as you safely dispose of your confidential documents and support this unique cause.

A pair of businesses in South Surrey were among more than a dozen highlighted last Friday, during the Surrey Board of Trade’s annual whirlwind effort to show-case innovative organizations.

Travelling on a trio of themed buses – Prince, reggae and ’80s – tour participants were introduced to some of the city’s “hidden jewels,” SBOT president Anita Huberman said.

“We try to make it fun, but the whole purpose of the tour is to really showcase the innovative business in our city.”

Businesses in Cloverdale, Campbell Heights and City Cen-tral were all on the tour – from HealthTech Connex and Central City Brewing Company to Prabu Foods, Endurance Wind Power and Columbia Plastics, Ltd.

In South Surrey, Pacific Cus-toms Brokers Ltd. welcomed around two dozen SBOT mem-bers to its 1 Avenue complex near the truck border, walking

the group through its Highway Sufferance Warehouse, Overseas Freight Forwarding and broker-age components.

Senior trade advisor Jan Brock – retired chief of commercial opera-tions for Canada Border Services Agency – told Peace Arch News the “Type B” sufferance ware-house is unusual for the area. Used for short-term storage and examination of imported goods not yet released by CBSA, most are located inland, she said.

“It’s probably the only B suffer-ance warehouse across the street” from a port, Brock said, noting the next closest is in Burnaby.

“It’s an extension of the office across the street.”

Border services officers have the same authority on the property as they do at the border, she added.

On the brokerage side, opera-tions manager Cherie Storms explained how the business offers everything from compliance con-sulting to help with goods dec-larations and making sure duties are paid.

Asked by one participant how a port strike might impact busi-ness, Storms described it as “a big problem.”

“We’re the first ones that our clients phone,” she said.

“Ultimately, when something doesn’t go right at the border, we are the ones to face the music.”

PCB marketing co-ordinator Lisa Stevenson described the May 6 industry tour as something the company didn’t hesitate to get involved with.

“A lot of people don’t know what we do,” Stevenson said, noting the role such operations play is larger than most people realize.

“They play a significant role in the supply chain,” she explained. “Basically, everything you see on store shelves has been through a supply chain.”

Huberman told PAN she encour-aged all bus participants to “really spread the word” about what they saw. The industries highlighted in the seventh annual tour were all tied to the provincial govern-ment’s BC Jobs Plan, she added.

We need to stop putting a price tag on

our democracy. Corporate donations

in the millions of dollars are being pumped into our political system. We need policies that are for the benefit of the majority of British Columbians, not just a small number of wealthy individuals and corporations.

Yet the provincial government has failed to act on limiting or banning such donations, despite reforms made in other provinces.

Most recently, it came to light that 10 individuals paid $10,000 each to attend a dinner fundraiser to meet with Premier Christy Clark. At the federal level, a $500-per-person fundraiser for the Liberal Party was organized by a large law firm, where the attorney general of Canada was the speaker.

To remain impartial and prevent conflicts of interest, elected officials should not attend such fundraisers being used to fill party coffers.

The premier has stated that she does not know how much anyone has paid to meet her. Her spokesman said that Clark “meets with and hears from British Columbians from all parts of our province.” Clark is also receiving a salary top-up from her party.

It seems unlikely that the premier would not know that an exclusive dinner with only 10 people would not have paid top dollar to attend a dinner with her.

Furthermore, while the premier might meet with many different people, her policies have often made the rich richer, while inadequately addressing the real needs of British Columbians.

Disclosing who the donation is coming from in real-time contributes to transparency, but it

does not do enough to address underlying issues.

Our elections should also be about policies, and not just about who has the largest marketing budget.

We are living in a province where thousands struggle to make ends meet.

On the other hand, we have individuals

who are paying $10,000 or more for exclusive dinners with the premier.

If the conversations that occur at these dinners are truly in the interest of British Columbians, maybe it’s time to publicize

this information and speak about it openly. It seems unlikely that the discussions at these meetings are about income inequality or about helping people who are homeless.

A few unelected insiders and business executives should not be running the show from behind the scenes.

We need to put a stop to an elite culture where only a select group of people are able to access and contribute to the political conversation. While leaders of both the party in power and the leader of the official Opposition have been attending party fundraisers, the government in power has been unwilling to take action on this issue.

Reform also needs to be made at the municipal level.

The provincial government has also been unwilling to move forward on this front. Therefore, Vancouver city council recently passed a motion to put this question to a referendum in the upcoming provincial election.

Our Surrey city council should pass a similar motion.

I have too much cleavage.Now, this is a ‘problem’

most women might like to have, but it does have its drawbacks.

Finding clothes to fit properly with a buxom bosom can be a challenge. Mammary modesty can be difficult to achieve when the double D girls stand at attention. Bodacious breasts can be a bother when striving for sartorial splendour.

Just ask Premier Christy Clark. A few years back, she was lambasted for showing a little cleavage in the legislature.

This feminine faux-pas was front-page news. It wasn’t like our elected leader was pilfering from the treasury or nodding off during question period. No, our Liberal lass was simply exposing her natural gifts, and I don’t mean her oratorical ones.

Coquitlam mayor, Richard Stewart, might have an opinion on the subject. He recently conducted a social experiment where he wore the same suit to council meetings for 15 months – and nobody noticed or batted an eye. He did this to highlight the double standards women in politics face when it comes to appearance.

I think our premier would agree.Immediately after the brouhaha

over her cleavage, our premier buttoned up and her feminine attributes have disappeared entirely.

And now she is getting criticism for making too much money, whether it be her salary paid by the taxpayer or a stipend from private donations.

Do you know how much the CEO of ICBC or BC Ferries make? Is there gender bias here as well?

Personally, I think the premier should get a pay raise – a whopping one! An increment large enough for her to buy an entire new wardrobe, and a personal stylist.

Her sartorial style is boring. Blazers and starched shirts… boring! She needs to add a little wow factor to her wearisome wardrobe.

And some of her BC Liberal colleagues are willing to help her!

They include Surrey MLAs Peter Fassbender, Gordon Hogg and Marvin Hunt, who will be strutting their stuff this month as models in CARP’s Panache on Parade.

This is a fashion show with a twist as it features politicians and other ‘people of interest’ as models, as CARP helps raise funds for the White Rock ‘All Abilities Park.’

Other political models include Surrey NDP MLA Sue Hammell – who has great hair by the way – and White Rock Couns. Dave Chesney, Bill Lawrence, Lynne Sinclair and Megan Knight.

Other models include Beth Kish from WRSS Hospice, Denise Darrell from Sources, Cindy Faulkner from Avalon Recovery and jeweller Jose Latchinian. Opening remarks will be made by Wayne Baldwin, mayor of White Rock.

There will be three speakers as well, including:

• Shoshana Litvack, a South Surrey resident who is legally blind and competes in marathons to raise funds for worthy causes.

• Taylor Byrom, a Langley-based designer who launched clothing line for girls who have medical and mobility challenges.

• Surrey MLA Stephanie Cadieux, Minister of Children and Family Development.

The date is Sunday, May 29, 2-5 p.m. at Morgan Creek Golf Course. Tickets are $50 and available at Westminster Savings at 16 Avenue and 152 Street, or by calling 778-294-0787.

You are welcome to join us, Premier Clark, and show a little cleavage if you like.

arts & entertainment…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Alex BrowneArts Reporter

Family secrets are almost always on a collision course with advancing years and impending mortality.

Unless such mysteries are carried, unrecorded and unwhispered, to the grave, they will likely leave some residue of intriguing – sometimes downright provocative – artifacts to surviving family members.

It’s evidence of that kind that

inspired Simon Choa-Johnston – retired artistic director of Richmond’s Gateway Theatre, – to investigate his own, singularly-convoluted, family background.

And it should come as no surprise that the playwright (author of such acclaimed plays as Sisters, Rice Rockets & Yacht People, and Running Dog Paper Tiger and a Peninsula resident, with his wife Sheila, for the last two years), should end up using his

research to create a work of dramatic fiction inspired by historic fact.

Just published by Penguin Random House Canada, Choa-Johnston’s novel The House of Wives, will be launched this Sunday, May 15, at 2 p.m. at a free-admission tea hosted by Peninsula Productions at their studio venue adjacent to the arena at Centennial Park (copies of the book, carried by Black Bond Books, will be available for sale and signing at the

event).The House of Wives is an exotic and

compelling tale tracing the rivalry of two women for the affections of their husband – an opium merchant in colonial Hong Kong – in the latter half of the nineteenth century.

That man was Emmanuel Belilios (Choa-Johnston’s own great-grandfather) a young Jew from Calcutta who came to Hong Kong

She may be pursuing a degree in communications at Simon Fraser University’s Burnaby campus in

the fall, but Elgin Park student Raquel Neumann admits that acting is her dream.

A member of Arts Umbrella’s senior youth theatre troupe, Neumann, 17, plays the plum role of Brutus in an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar at Arts Umbrella’s Theatre and Music Expression Festival, which runs until May 22 at the Waterfront Theatre, Granville Island.

In the modern-dress, gender-neutral version of the timeless political parable of power, loyalty and betrayal, directed by Paul Moniz de Sa, Brutus is a ‘she’ – a concept that makes much more sense in a contemporary context than in Shakespeare’s own time.

And Neumann says she is thoroughly enjoying the “complexity and intensity” of the play – and the conflicted nature of Brutus, conspirator in the assassination of the Roman emperor.

“Brutus is one of the most exciting and challenging characters I’ve ever played,” she said.

“She goes through so many things in the course of two hours; so many thoughts. I can’t imagine being involved in such a roller-coaster.”

Swayed by the influence of Cassius (Bonnie Duff), Brutus comes to believe that Caesar’s willingness to assume total power poses a direct and intolerable threat to the underlying principles of their society.

“For Cassius there’s more of a personal resentment, but for me (our action) is strictly political. I have been a fan of Caesar – as Brutus says, ‘I slew my best lover for the good of Rome.’ “

Being in the play has given her a lot of motivation to research and prepare, she said, including memorizing her monologues both in modern paraphrase and as Shakespeare wrote them, so that she could have a complete understanding of the meaning.

“I’ve learned Shakespeare throughout high

school and it can sometimes look just like words on a page,” she said, agreeing that that the best way to experience the plays is by seeing them acted on stage.

“We toured Julius Caesar to high schools

before we opened at the Waterfront and we had students coming up to us and saying ‘Wow – I didn’t know that that was what was going on in that scene.’ That was a great feeling, to hear that.”

Born at Peace Arch Hospital and a South Surrey resident all her life, Neumann has one sibling, her older brother Ellis.

“He’s been to every show I’ve acted in,” she said.

She’s been involved in Arts Umbrella drama programs since she was in Grade 8, but her interest in acting goes back even further, she said.

“I started when I was in Grade 6 – I was an artistically inclined kid and did a lot of drawing and painting, but I was always bubbly and loud, so my parents thought drama would be a good thing for me.”

She followed up her first private drama classes by winning a role in Chantrell Creek Elementary’s musical The Great Glass Slipper (“basically the story of Cinderella,” she said), when she was in Grade 7.

But she missed doing productions at Elgin Park until she was in Grade 11.

“I decided last year I would put myself though the ordeal of doing two plays at the same time,” she said.

“I was doing Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None at Elgin and The Martian Chronicles at Arts Umbrella, basically going from one rehearsal to another.”

Did she ever get lines from one play mixed up with lines from the other?

“Luckily, no,” she laughed. “Fortunately the two plays were so

different – but I was so afraid it was going to happen!”

She’s also been trying her hand at film acting in Elgin Park student productions of late, and said she is also considering seeking an agent for more film work.

“I don’t like to be typecast in the roles I play – I’d prefer to be known for being open to trying new things,” she said, noting that her most recent student film work, two linked music videos, saw her cast as a “psychotic stalker.”

“It was super interesting, playing that,” she said.

While she’d definitely like to continue acting, she’s also keen to explore career options through her Communications courses at Simon Fraser, she said – which could include everything from media advertising and film to journalism.

“I love to write,” she said. “And while acting is my dream,

realistically its good to have another plan to fall back on.”

Julius Caesar, which alternates with four other student productions during the festival, will be performed May 14 at 9 p.m., May 19 at 9 p.m., May 21 at 7 p.m. (doubled billed with the Second World War drama Dangers of a Total War) and May 22 at 4 p.m.

Tickets (including double bills) are $15.For more information, visit artsumbrella.

Et tu, Brute?

Peninsula author Simon Choa-Johnston found story ‘gold’ on his own doorstep

Family mysteries inspire House of Wives novel

Simon Choa-Johnston

in 1862 to make his fortune, at a time when the opium trade was entirely legal.

While his dutiful wife Semah remained in Calcutta, Emmanuel became a prosperous and respectable merchant in the city that became his new home, eventually falling for, and marrying Pearl Li, daughter of his business partner, and twenty years his junior.

In Choa-Johnston’s richly evocative story, Emmanuel’s life with Pearl is shaken up

by the unannounced arrival of Semah in Hong Kong – and her determination to take her place as the mistress of his huge mansion, Kingsclere.

While he has taken obvious artistic license to imagine events, conversations and motivations – the basic facts are a matter of historic record and family history, Choa-Johnston says.

It was a story from which he was sternly excluded for a long time, he said.

Born post-Second

World War in Hong Kong, he was descended from Emmanuel through his mother, Pauline Choa, who had married Thomas Johnston, a merchant from Shanghai.

“When I was eight or 10 years old I asked my mother who her grandparents were. She told me, but the look she gave me told me to never ask that question again,” he said.

That’s where the matter rested, he said, until much later on, when he was moving his mother (now deceased)

from her residence to a care home.

“I discovered a box containing letters,

diary entries and photographs, related to those times, that I had never seen before.”

Fascinated, he launched into a decade of research, including trips to Calcutta and Hong Kong, where Choa-Johnston was granted access to documents in the archive of the bank Emmanuel helped found, the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, which has evolved into the current HSBC.

Hospitals and schools founded there by Emmanuel also still

attest to his later life as a highly-respected and influential philanthropist.

But he confesses that imagining the behind-closed-doors scenes of Emmanuel, Semah and Pearl’s complicated domestic milieu drove his involvement with the story, as the walls of his writing office becoming literally “festooned” with photos, documents and notes.

“As a storyteller, this is gold,” he said.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime story – there are so many cultures, so many levels, so many taboos.

“It was difficult to decide where to ‘aim the camera’ and how to be respectful and still explore the drama,” he added.

“There was some oral tradition that they all lived together in Emmanuel’s mansion and another oral tradition that says that they never lived together,” he said.

He acknowledges that he did some soul-searching in attempting to reach a dramatic ‘truth’ for the novel, particularly since the characters he is giving voice also happen to be his own ancestors.

Even though he admits he took some license with facts, he said he feels that his diligent research gave

him a fundamental understanding of the characters.

“I feel that I lived with these people for 10 years before I started writing,” he said. And he believes the work – which he began as a play during a period when he was playwright-in residence at the Stratford Festival in Ontario – ultimately reached the right form in The House of Wives.

“I realized the canvas was going to be larger than could be contained in 90 pages of dialogue,” he said.

“So they never got their play, but they did give the universe a novel,” he added, laughing.

“And there has been some interest in a play adaptation of the book – having written it, now, I’d be better able to to turn it into a play.

“It might still get there.”

The Peninsula Productions venue is at 14600 North Bluff Rd.

“They’ve been the sweetest most supportive people,” Choa-Johnston said of the production company, noting that he directed their staged reading of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the space last year.

“They felt that, since I live here, it would be silly not to have some kind of book launch locally,” he said.

‘Once-in-a-lifetime story’ full of drama, family intrigue from page 21

Contributed photoChoa-Johnston’s novel.

For the first time

in our nation’s his-

tory we have more

people over 65 than

under 15. With

an increasing aging population, it’s more

important than ever of seniors to consider

the key elements of a long, healthy and

happy life – one of these being physical ac-

tivity. Physical activity is important at any

age; however, as we get older it becomes

increasingly important for health durabil-

ity, mental health and overall quality of life.

Research shows that people who are active

have a lower risk of heart disease, stroke,

type 2 diabetes, depression and even

dementia. Regular exercise in old age has as

powerful effect on life expectancy, and an

increase in physical activity is directly asso-

ciated with better health and a longer life.

Through the aging process, it’s impor-

tant to listen to your body and exercise

at a rate that challenges you, but doesn’t

exert you. Physical activity is classified as

anything that gets your body moving. This

can range from walking and gardening, to

an exercise class, to basic arm exercises

while seated in a chair. Ideally, research

suggests that seniors you should try to do

something physical every single day, even

just for ten minutes. Remember, certain

activities should be practiced under the

supervision of a health care professional

to ensure safety.

As I previously mentioned, research

shows that physical exercise can assist in

warding off disease, and also act as a tool

for prevention. In fact, for some cases,

exercise is used as an effective form of

treatment for chronic conditions. For ex-

ample, elders who struggle with arthritis,

high blood pressure and carpal tunnel

will reap benefits – including delaying

symptom onset, through methods of ap-

propriate exercise.

Physical activity has also been shown to

manage stress and improve your mood –

this can be very important when transi-

tioning into a retirement community, and

being faced with new situations. When

you exercise, endorphins are produced

and released, resulting in good feelings

and a positive mindset. This frame of

mind can also help to manage ongoing

symptoms of illness or pain.

Care communities have dramatically

evolved over the last decade, some of

these significant changes surround the

integration of time allotted for physical

activity. These adjustments have been

made based on science, research and of

course, the ever-growing demand from

seniors who are looking to remain active

to maintain their lifestyle. Often times,

seniors opting to live at home do not

receive the same level of support for

physical activities as they would in a care

home, where professional health care

providers administer and oversee the

various exercises.

At Retirement Concepts, we understand

and value the importance of physical

activity, that’s why we have exercise oppor-

tunities ranging from chair yoga to cycling

to weight classes at all of our communi-

ties. We also have Rehab Aides who assist

client in walking long distances, leg and

arm exercises and other therapies. Our

residents are also assessed to be appro-

priately healthy by professional therapy

staff. Regardless of your level of physical

activity, there is truly something for every-

one – resulting in our residents experienc-

ing the priceless benefits of exercise and

maintaining their health throughout the

aging process.

and CEO of Retirement Concepts.

A Semiahmoo Peninsula youth volleyball team has been on quite a roll this season, and is now eyeing a Western Canadian championship.

Seaside Volleyball Club’s under-16 boys team, the Surf – made up primarily of players from Elgin, Earl Marriott and Semiahmoo secondaries – is undefeated in its own age group, and has yet to even lose a set. They capped their run of great play with a provincial-title win last weekend at the Tradex Centre in Abbotsford.

Later this month, the squad heads to Calgary to prove themselves against competition from other Western provinces.

“It’s been quite a run,” said Seaside coach Dave Dooley.

“It’s been a lot of fun. It’s incredible, really – I’ve never had

a team like this before.”Since the club volleyball season

began – shortly after the high-school season ended in late fall – the only losses Dooley’s team has suffered have been in exhibition or tournament matches against older, under-18 teams.

“Even in those tournaments, we were competitive,” he said.

At provincial championships, Seaside was the top-seeded team, which, Dooley explained, afforded them the luxury of being put into a round-robin pool with lower seeds. The Peninsula crew made short work of their round-robin competition and earned a bye through the round-of-16, before defeating Abbotsford’s Orangemen Volleyball Club in quarter-finals and Focus Volleyball Club in semifinals.

The semifinal tilt gave the Seaside team its toughest test of

the season, Dooley said. Though the Surf won, they did

need to mount something of a comeback in the second set, and it also marked the first time all season that an opponent scored more than 17 points against them.

In the championship game, Seaside defeated Apex 2-0.

Seaside’s Michael Dowhaniuk was named provincial MVP, while Malachi McMullin, Teo Arnadaz, Jordan Payne and Dowhaniuk were named league all-stars.

Now, the Surf prepare for Westerns, where they’re expected to be among the top seeds again. Considering the season they’ve had to date, the target is to finish atop the podium, Dooley said.

“That’s definitely the goal, but we also realize there are a lot of really good teams there, and there is a lot of work to be done to achieve that goal,” he said.

For a guy whose job title has an “interim” label attached to it, Scott Cranham gets awfully excited talking

about the long-term future of the White Rock Divers club.

The 61-year-old interim head coach has been living on the Semiahmoo Peninsula since December, arriving to “help out” the White Rock club for a while, after former head coach Grant Brehaut left his position to pursue a teaching career.

“I’ll stay for sure through junior nationals in July, then maybe run some camps, and then we’ll see,” said Clanham, standing poolside at the club’s new home in Grandview last week.

And though his time with the group is up in the air, there’s no doubt about his commitment level, nor his enthusiasm. Over

the course of conversation, the diving coach marvels at the Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre – “a great facility” – the White Rock Divers’ chance to expand, and his new home near the water on Crescent Beach – “a beautiful place.”

“It’s been a real joy to come here. I think it’s a real exciting time for the club – it’s growing, we’ve got this great new facility… I think it’s a great chance for us to grow,” he said.

Regardless of what he decides to do beyond the summer, there’s little doubt White Rock Divers founder Bev Boys would like to keep Clanham around well into the future.

His resume, after all, speaks for itself.Clanham’s diving experience dates back

decades, and he is one of Canada’s most decorated divers. The Toronto native is a 28-time senior national champion and was a member of three Canadian Olympic teams

– 1972 in Munich, 1976 in Montreal and 1980 in Moscow, which were boycotted by a number of countries including Canada.

He is also a four-time medallist at the Commonwealth Games, and finished in the top eight at world championships on three different occasions.

After the 1980 boycott, Cranham retired from competitive diving and, when it became clear there were no coaching jobs available in the Canadian diving community, Cranham chose to put his psychology degree to good use.

For 20 years, Cranham worked as a family therapist in the Toronto area, but was eventually pulled back into the water when a Dive Canada opportunity a little further west became available.

“There was a job opening in Calgary, and they asked me to come back into it,” he explained.

Clanham took them up on the offer, and moved to Alberta to work with Dive Calgary, and following that, with the Canadian national junior high-performance development program in Ottawa.

“I did miss (diving), but now that I’ve been back, I miss my other job, too,” he explained.

“They’re both very rewarding, but also very different.”

Despite the obvious contrasts, Cranham is quick to point out that, in some ways, the two career paths are not without at least a few similarities. In both cases, he was dealing with young people, and his psychological background often comes in handy when dealing with a large number of athletes, each one of them unique.

“I’m still organizing, still trying to change the culture to better the people I’m working with – whether it’s an emotionally disturbed

A Semiahmoo Minor Hockey Association alum – who played last season for the Delta Hockey Academy – was selected in last week’s Western Hockey League bantam draft.

Francis ‘Butch’ La Roue, a South Surrey resident, was selected by the Prince George Cougars in the 10th round of the draft (208th overall).

The 15-year-old defenceman – who was also recently selected to take part in a 40-player Team BC U16 tryout camp – had one goal and three assists in 25 games last season with Delta Academy, which plays

in the Canadian Sport School Hockey League.

La Roue, who is six-foot-one and 155 pounds, is planning to return to Semiahmoo Minor for the 2016/17 season, according to association president Ian Maguire.

A quartet of other Semiahmoo alums, meanwhile, are getting set for a draft of another kind – the National Hockey League Entry Draft, set for June 24-25 in Buffalo, NY.

Four former Ravens – Ty Westgard, Davis Koch, Jeff Stewart and Matt Barberis – are listed by many

prospect services as being potential selections.

Westgard, who was ranked as high as 176th among North American draft-eligible skaters by NHL Central Scouting and is now ranked 210th, began last season with the Surrey Eagles before jumping to the Victoria Royals of the WHL.

Stewart played last season with the BCHL’s Surrey Eagles, tallying 11 goals and 21 assists in 44 games.

Barberis and Koch both played full seasons in the Western Hockey League, for the Vancouver Giants and Edmonton Oil Kings, respectively.

Organizers of this summer’s 2016 Women’s World Softball Championships held a media event Wednesday to show off a new-and-improved Softball City facility.

The afternoon session – attended by reporters from Peace Arch News, Vancouver Province and CBC – saw tournament chairman Greg Timm detail all the work that has been underway at the park in recent months, adding a sparkling new look to what he referred to as “the jewel of softball in Western Canada.”

In addition to media, officials from the World Baseball Softball Federation were on hand, touring the park in a separate group.

Among the park improvements – reported by PAN in April – are new irrigation, dirt and turf at all four Softball City diamonds; new dugouts and seats at the main diamond; brighter lights at all diamonds; upgraded washrooms; and a new backstop on the main diamond which drastically improves previous sight lines for spectators.

As well, Timm said, 2,500 temporary seats will be added beyond the outfield fence on the main diamond by the time the tournament begins; that number is more than double the

usual number of seats added for the Canadian Open Fastpitch Championships, which are normally played in mid-July but

will be on hiatus until 2017.In April, Owen Croy, Surrey’s

manager of parks, told PAN the improvements – which began in 2014 – have cost about $1.5 million.

The 2016 world championships are set for July 15-24, and will feature 31 international teams.

The tournament schedule is set to be released in “about 10 days” Timm said, adding that Canada’s first game will be against Great Britain, and is scheduled for immediately after the event’s opening ceremonies.

level as therapist, or whether it’s at a very high athletic, competitive level,” he said.

“Certainly working

with families is part of my job here now, too.”

Cranham has known Boys for a long time, ever since they were young divers coming up through the ranks

in Ontario, and after leaving his diving job in Calgary last year, a chance meeting in Australia eventually led him to the Semiahmoo Peninsula.

Noted Boys: “We were in Australia together at a friend’s birthday party – that sounds much more glamourous and exotic than it was – and I knew he was great at

developing divers and running camps. It was perfect timing that we had an opening and Scott was available.

“So he came here in December to run a

camp with us – which was a real coup for the divers who took part – and Scott and I talked about coming here and he liked it. So here we are. It’s very exciting.”

Next up for Cranham and his young divers are provincials – which will be held at Grandview Aquatic Centre May 27-29 – and following that, junior national diving championships in two cities.

Two divers – Madeline Green, 10, and Taylor Pai, 12 – will head to Montreal for that age-group’s national meet, while two older club members, Carlyn McNeely, 18 and Tavia Walz, 17, will be in competition in Winnipeg.

“I really hope they just perform the best as they can. It’s not so much about placing, but just about doing the best that you can do,” Cranham said. “If they do that, I’ll be very, very happy – and I think they should be as well.”

With increased pool time available since the move to Grandview Aquatic, Cranham and Boys are working on expanding the club. Interest in diving does tend to grow in Olympic years, both agree, and this year, the club has already increased membership enough that White Rock Divers has created a masters group (age 25-plus). Registration is ongoing (at www.southsurrey whiterockdivers.com), Boys added.

“Interest is growing here, and it’s a really exciting time to be involved,” Clanham said.

GREENER HOMES

Net Zero Home building standards encouraged

Energy-effi cient homes have arrived and are growing in popularity. At this time, it may be farfetched to assume homes will soon be equipped with the ability to turn sunlight into energy or have gardens growing on the walls. It is accurate, however, to assume that over the next decade homes will become increasingly more self-sustaining, compact, and leave only a light footprint on the planet. Like most things in life, success comes from planning ahead, getting organized, and gathering informa-tion. B.C. is dedicated to supporting better building practices now and

into the future. Meaning, the trend of green homes isn’t slowing down. For builders striving to meet energy effi ciency requirements, it hasn’t been too hard to manage. Th at’s the opinion of Joe Geluch, President of Naikoon Contracting Ltd., who says builders and contractors are more receptive to the idea of building greener homes. “Conversations started 30 years ago but certainly in the last ten years we’ve seen big progress, especially ramping up over the last three years,” he says. “Th e B.C. energy code [which came into eff ect December 2014] mandated a lot of energy effi -ciency in housing. Th at has certainly

made building greener a require-ment.”Th e Code increased the requirement for additional insulation in walls, better windows, and mandatory energy modelling on some areas. For some builders it's new, but others are already implementing environmental practices. Some of the current green trends that Geluch has noticed are things like better windows and doors, air tight design, and more effi cient insulation and ventilation. “A lot of people are now going to triple glazed windows and doors in their home,” says Geluch. “Argon gas fi lled and low E coatings also add effi -ciency to the window. Th e frame and

construction of the window product is just as important as the glass, and it’s important to understand the labelling that comes with the window and door products.” Other environmental considerations picking up steam are rainwater col-lection systems and healthy products like no-toxic fi nishes, low VOC paints and materials, local use of resources, and form-aldehyde free plywood. Th e evolution of technology has certainly spilled over into home construction, evident by the emergence of the term "smart home.” For Geluch, the word has come defi ne the evolution of home automation. “Most homes can now have control-lability with smart phones in various features, and also energy monitoring and lighting controllability – which is very popular,” he says. As for renewable energy sources, Geluch says solar panels are already becoming increasingly popular. “We’ve been receiving request for solar PV on a regular basis and are seeing them being prepared for on all projects,” says Geluch. “Just in the last two years we have installed solar PV on a half dozen homes. Th is trend will certainly continue and increase as the technology improves and costs come down and other types of energy costs rise over time.” As buyers become more interested in green options, Geluch says build-ers will continue to reciprocate the demand.“I'd like to see all building construct-ed to Net Zero Ready standards over

the next 15 years,” he says. He is referring to the Canadian Home Builders Association, which has developed and launched a pilot for a

new labelling system in Canada. A “Net Zero Home” is one that

consumes less power than it produces. “It has to be thoroughly planned and constructed to very high energy standards to get to ‘Net Zero Ready,’” says Geluch. “Th e full program will launch and be

announced in approximately six months. I am on the council

developing this, and am very pas-sionate about it.”Some people may think that going

green can be diffi cult and costly, when in reality there are more op-tions than ever to buy a home already built to environmental standards, or renovate an older home to accommo-date a greener lifestyle. “Th e fundamentals are easy and don’t cost a lot of money; it makes nothing but sense,” says Geluch. “If there is a will, there is a way!”Being aware of energy saving benefi ts and making the switch from waste producing products to more envi-ronmentally friendly products and practices creates a cycle of positive feedback. By upgrading or manag-ing a green home, not only are you helping the atmosphere but also lowering your energy bills, reducing your carbon footprint, and passing on important lessons about caring for the environment to your family and friends. Maybe you don’t have a fi sh pond in the front yard (yet) but you can start somewhere.
