Customers, staff evacuated as police cordon off area in Newton

Bank standoff after report of robbery

Developer reduces height of proposed building to eight storeys

Limited support from council for Nichol Road redoMelissa Smalley Staff Reporter

A proposed eight-storey condo develop-ment 10 blocks west of White Rock’s town centre – which replaces a previously with-drawn application for a 15-storey tower in the same location – received little support from council Monday.

A new, “scaled-back” application for the three-lot property at North Bluff and Nichol

roads was recently submitted to the city, according to staff, who provided a prelimi-nary look at plans at Monday’s land use and planning committee meeting.

The application – made by Texor Homes Inc. – proposes an eight-storey, 81-unit development (including apartments and townhouses) with a “small commercial com-ponent” on the ground floor.

The initial 15-storey application – received

by the city last May – was met with opposi-tion from residents, who spoke out against the proposal at a public-information meet-ing in August.

Many in opposition pointed to the location outside of White Rock’s town centre, which is designated as high-density in the city’s Official Community Plan.

The following month, the developer with-drew the application; vice-president of Texor

Homes Inc. Howard Steiss told Peace Arch News at the time he hoped to “come up with a solution that meets the needs of the com-munity.”

While the report this week was presented for informational purposes only, council took the opportunity to weigh in on the pro-posal, with three members saying the height was not suitable for the neighbourhood.

Heavily armed Mounties trained their weapons on a bank in Newton Tuesday morning, in what appeared to be a standoff with a robber.

Police received a report of a bank robbery at the TD Canada Trust just east of King George Boulevard on 72 Avenue at about 8:30 a.m. By the time officers arrived, cus-tomers and staff had been evacuated.

Few details were available at Peace Arch News press time, however, a news release

issued by Surrey RCMP just after 9:30 a.m. described “an unfolding police incident.”

A witness at the scene described an eerie silence in the typically bustling area, and estimated 30 police cars surrounded the bank. He reported seeing one officer with a 12-gauge shotgun, another with either an M-16 or M4 Carbine and at least one sniper lining their sights on the building.

Police cautioned the public to stay out of the area, much of which was behind yellow

police tape, until the situation was resolved. Roads were closed in the immediate area, including 72 Avenue from King George Boulevard to 138 Street, and nine bus routes were detoured.

“Unfolding updates will be made as they are available,” the release states.

Anyone with information is asked to con-tact the RCMP at 604-599-0502.

“I personally don’t think eight sto-reys is appropriate for that area,” Coun. Megan Knight said.

Mayor Wayne Baldwin echoed Knight’s sentiment, saying that although there was “a lot to like” about the proposal, it was too far from the town centre.

“I’m concerned because not only is the height not appropriate, but if we were to approve this, it would invite speculation along this whole corri-dor,” Baldwin said. “Speculation leads to rundown housing and neglect, and I don’t want to see that.”

Coun. Bill Lawrence was the lone voice of support for the project, noth-ing that although the height “might not be overly appealing,” the develop-ment would help to create a “com-mercial gateway to White Rock.”

Karen Cooper, the city’s director of planning, told council the city has been “giving out mixed messages” about development along North Bluff, noting there is contradictory information in the OCP – currently under review – regarding the future of the North Bluff Corridor.

“From a strictly land-use point of view, this is a great location for higher density in the form of development compared to the rest of the City of White Rock,” Cooper said. “What we don’t have are design guidelines. Everyone that has come to look at this site has asked, ‘what does the city want to see on this property?’ and we don’t have a lot of direction on that.”

Cooper pointed to a survey con-ducted last spring during the launch

of the OCP review process, that showed high-density along North Bluff was the second preferred loca-tion among respondents, following the town centre.

Coun. Lynne Sinclair questioned those results, noting that more infor-mation is required before any deci-sions are made.

“We need to be a bit more clear on what people meant on that survey, because North Bluff is a long road,” Sinclair said.

Coun. David Chesney said that while he agreed North Bluff Road was a “great place” for high-density, the proposal at Nichol Road was “so far from the town centre it’s just not even in the realm of possibility.”

In Cooper’s report to the commit-tee, she highlighted the reduction in units (81 from 134), height (27 metres from 46 m) and gross floor-area ratio (2.98 from 4.82).

The application is currently under review by staff and a public-infor-mation meetings will be scheduled, Cooper said.

newsNurses union opposes cost-saving shift in resources

Community beds replace hospital beds

Rail relocation ‘makes all the sense in the world’: MP

Trains, housing, jobs dominate federal concerns

Jeff NagelBlack Press

Fraser Health will close 80 hospital beds across the region – including some at Peace Arch Hospital – this spring, as it simultane-ously opens up hundreds of new residential care beds and embarks on a long-awaited shift of aging patients out of hospitals and back into local communities.

The strategy has been years in the works and is culminating now as 400 residential beds are set to come on stream across the region.

“This will happen over the next six months,” Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said. “As those residential care beds come available, we’ll be able to move people into them and slowly the reductions will happen.”

Beds will be cut at 10 hospitals – all of them except Delta and Fraser Canyon. Juma did not have specifics on exactly how many beds will be affected at each hospital.

The reductions work out to less than three per cent of Fraser’s 3,000 total hospital acute-care beds.

Fraser officials hope the shift into the com-munity will ultimately mean better, more appropriate care for those patients, as well as fewer people clogging hospital beds and less ER congestion.

“What we’re hearing is people want to go home and they want to go back into their communities,” Juma said.

Juma maintained the region will see a net increase in combined residential and acute-care beds and a net increase in jobs as more support staff are being deployed for com-munity care.

Ten new hospice beds are also being opened.

The 400 new residential complex-care beds opening are split between four proj-ects in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Surrey and White Rock at a cost of $34.5 million to Fraser. Ninety-two of those beds are part of the under-construction project on the Evergreen Campus in White Rock, at 1500 Oxford St.

Fraser Health has long pursued a “home is best” long-range strategy to decongest

hospitals but that took on renewed urgency in 2013 when Health Minister Terry Lake ordered a review after the health region repeatedly failed to stay within its budget.

“Care in the community is certainly less expensive than hospital care,” Juma acknowl-edged. “The long-term benefit is we will see those gains in the future.”

B.C. Nurses Union president Gayle Duteil opposes the plan to close beds, saying hospi-tals are already heavily congested before the planned shift in resources.

“Last week we saw a record-high number of patients waiting for beds in wards,” Duteil said. “Some patients were waiting in the ER for upwards of four hours just to be triaged. That is not safe patient care.”

She questioned whether enough nurses are working in community care to handle the new patients.

Juma agreed hospital emergency depart-ments are busy right now, partly because of higher winter volumes.

“We are going to ensure the support in the community is there before we start reducing those bed numbers.”

Fraser Health’s latest report card shows the region continues to far underperform its targets on how long patients stay in hospital, as well as key measures of ER congestion.

Rail relocation and affordable housing dominated discussions at an event Saturday that offered Peninisula residents the chance to chime in on the next federal bud-get.

The event, hosted at the White Rock Community Centre by the South Surrey-White Rock Fed-eral Liberal Association, drew an “enthusiastic and very engaged” crowd of more than 100, accord-ing to association president Bill Brooks.

“Not bad for a Saturday after-noon in the rain,” Brooks said, not-ing feedback forms collected from

attendees are being delivered to the federal finance minister this week.

Discussions were moderated by MP Ken Hardie – one of four Liberals elected in Surrey’s five rid-ings – who touched several times upon the “challenging” economic circumstances the country faces.

Several in the crowd brought up relocating the rail line away from the White Rock/South Surrey waterfront, which Hardie – who sits on the Transport, Infrastruc-ture and Communities subcom-mittee – said “makes all the sense in the world.”

“The only thing is… we have to have an open, honest and trans-parent process for the people who

live along that corridor,” the Fleet-wood-Port Kells MP said.

“Gone are the days when any government can just simply bull-doze its way through and do what it wants.”

The issue of unaffordable real estate – which one speaker said was “driving the young ones out of the city” – was also brought up by several in attendance, with sugges-tions that Canada look at the Aus-tralian taxation model with regards to foreign housing investments.

Additional topics of discussion included youth mental health con-cerns, the Trans-Pacific Partner-

ship, replacement of the Massey Tunnel and job opportunities for those who are hearing impaired.

Liberal Judy Higginbotham, who lost to Conservative Dianne Watts in last fall’s federal election in South Surrey-White Rock, deliv-ered opening comments.

Brooks told Peace Arch News Monday that although Saturday’s event was organized by the Liberal association, “any and all political stripes” were in attendance.

Brooks also said the local Liberal association will likely hold similar events in other areas of the riding.

newsCulture levy to be renamed capital levy

Tax bump not only shiftKevin DiakiwBlack Press

Surrey’s taxes are going up by almost $90, as the city has given early endorsement to its five-year financial plan.

City councillors met as the finance committee last Wednes-day to discuss a budget for this year that calls for $88.30 in new taxes and levies. As Peace Arch News reported in January, the city is planning a 3.9 per cent tax hike, which will be $70.28 for the average home worth $671,000.

In addition, Surrey is increas-ing a road levy by one per cent – an added $18.02 per average household – bringing the levy to $128 for next year. The levy was introduced in 2007 as a tempo-rary five-year measure. It has not only remained, but increased by one per cent annually since then.

The city has also endorsed a 3.9-per-cent increase in fees and charges, such as business and dog licences and recreation centre fees.

In Surrey’s last five-year finan-cial plan, council aimed to hike property taxes by 2.9 per cent this year. The current plan bumps that up by one per cent.

Utilities, including garbage, sewer and water, will increase by $27.50 per home – half of which is a result of Metro Vancouver increases.

A $100 recreation and culture

levy announced weeks after the election in 2014 will also remain in place this year. However, council has chosen to rename it a capital levy, which will allow it to be used on any capital project.

Finance committee chair Tom Gill has con-sistently said he’s extremely reluctant to cut back on the city’s ambitious capital pro-gram. Projects in the works include a new North Surrey arena ($45 mil-lion), ice rinks in Cloverdale ($30 million), rec-reation and library facilities in Clayton ($40 million) and about $10 million for the next phase of the museum in Cloverdale.

Cost pressures on the city this year were significant.

It’s the first year Surrey will pay for a full year of newly hired RCMP officers. The cost for that alone will be $15 million.

On Feb. 10, Surrey council committed to hiring 16 more police officers this year, who will arrive in October.

In addition, Surrey is hiring four more bylaw officers and another senior position at the Surrey Fire Department.

The Surrey Board of Trade said it’s cautiously optimistic about the budget.

“As the independent voice of business we do request that the city reduce the new higher, prop-erty tax rate at the earliest pos-sible opportunity to maintain Surrey’s competitive status for business attraction in the region,” the SBOT wrote to council.

In a six-page letter, board CEO Anita Huberman also summarizes recommendations for areas that include development, the cultural grants process, light rail, anti-gang programming, disclosure of work done by council’s audit committee and affordable housing.

Regarding the latter, Huber-man notes the city’s rapid growth in residential development, if it continues, “will drive longtime Surrey residents out of areas that are seeing the most development and displace residents who have deep roots in their community.”

Huberman urges council to “take a leadership role in protect-ing longtime residents and ensur-ing Surrey is a welcoming com-munity for all residents and not just those who can still afford it.”

She recommends an affordable-housing levy on new residential developments.

Surrey council is expected to endorse the budget in full at its regular meeting on Feb. 22.

RCMP Const. Bonnie Sauve fought back tears as she recalled the afternoon of Jan. 27, 2014 – the day James Burton Weaver rammed his SUV into her cruiser and forever changed her life.

Reading a victim-impact state-ment in Surrey Provincial Court Friday morning, Sauve said she had waited a long time to express how she has felt since the crash.

“When he deliberately struck me… I thought I was going to die and all I could think of was whether I was going to see my children and husband again,” she wept. “I wondered if I would be able to say ‘I love you’ one last time to my kids. He intentionally tried to hurt or even kill me that day.”

Friday was to be the start of a sentencing hearing for Weaver, who was found guilty last November of two counts each of assault with a weapon and crim-inal negligence causing bodily harm. However, the full hearing could not proceed due to the recent discovery by lawyers that Weaver is aboriginal.

A special pre-sentence report will now be prepared investigat-ing Weaver’s history and circum-stances. It’s estimated it will take eight to 10 weeks to prepare.

Normally victim-impact state-ments would come after Crown’s sentencing arguments, but were delivered prior because Sauve had trav-elled from Alberta, where she now lives and works as an RCMP officer.

It was just over two years ago that Weaver, 48, drove his Ford Explorer through the Newton RCMP detachment parking lot near 72 Avenue and 137 Street, plowing into a parked police car, which was pushed into a second cruiser. Sauve was in the driver’s seat of one of the vehicles, while her part-ner, Const. Erik McFar-lane, was outside the car.

Sauve said she heard a squeal before Weaver’s truck hit her car, pushing it toward the parking stall next to her, where McFar-lane was standing.

McFarlane, she said, was able to somehow “slide out” and call for help. He escaped with a leg injury, while Sauve suffered severe bruising and a shoulder tear that is still healing.

Aside from the physi-cal injuries, Sauve said there has been lasting psychological and emo-tional harm. She said she lives with fear, hyper-vigilance, anger, anxiety, sadness and stress that impacts her daily.

“While I stand before this court alive, I struggle with feeling safe at work, and worrying about the next person trying to hurt or kill me,” Sauve said, her father listening

from the court gallery.McFarlane wasn’t in court Fri-

day, but had a victim-impact statement read on his behalf. He said he missed multiple training opportunities and no longer leads the active lifestyle he once did due to the “lifelong injuries” and pain resulting from the crash.

“I’ve had numerous flashbacks about the incident and have a fear of cars that I never had before,” wrote McFarlane, adding it has affected him professionally, emotionally and financially.

“I fear the accused will again

commit an act of violence ran-domly on the police and/or the public,” he said.

Sauve spoke to Weaver in court, telling him he needs to earn back his freedom and urging him to become a better person.

But she also said his criminal actions would not deter her or other police officers from doing their jobs.

“We will move on with serving our community and keeping it safe,” Sauve said.

Weaver’s next court date is Feb. 19, to fix a date for sentencing.

Earlier this month, the City of Surrey announced it will spend $11 million over the next five years upgrading street lights to

LED, joining the legion of municipalities the world over that are also making the switch.

While the move to 28,000 LEDs will save the city approximately $1 million a year once the conversion is complete, those annual savings could come at a price that’s difficult to calculate.

The LED lights consume less power than sodium lights and are less costly to maintain.

They’re also brighter. The city’s news release – issued Feb. 2, Groundhog Day, a daylight-inspired event to be sure – claims the LED lights make it easier for motorists to see pedestrians and signs, and reduces eyestrain and fatigue for drivers.

That’s welcome news in a city that has seen a string of serious and fatal vehicle-pedestrian collisions in the past month. Increased visibility will no doubt help increase driver and pedestrian awareness at intersections.

However, where the LED lights go, it seems a litany of complaints follows. In other jurisdictions, LED street lights aren’t exactly winning over fans when it comes to getting a good night’s sleep, or feeling safe from crime.

Critics point out that blue-rich LED light at night can zap the production of melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate the body’s circadian rhythms of sleeping and waking up, a side-effect that – at the very least – will send insomniacs in search of blackout blinds.

Other complaints suggests LED lamps can leave patches of sidewalks and streets unlit, making neighbourhoods and cityscapes seem less well-lit and secure than intended.

LEDs only provide directional light, and as such, can’t produce a soft glow that emanates in all directions, resulting in sharp shadows.

Others say the white-blue light changes the perception of their streets at night, making them feel cold and unwelcoming. Alternatives such as yellow-white LED lights create a warmer ambience, but aren’t quite as energy efficient.

According to the City of Surrey, these concerns can and will be addressed. Once installed, the city will have the ability to dim – or brighten – the new lights, depending on need and the situation.

It will take at least a decade to cover the installation costs through energy savings, according to the city’s own calculations. As such, it will be quite a while before we find an answer to an important question – is the city’s plan one that seems bright on paper, but perhaps not quite as bright in reality?

Only in time will the answer become clear.

Questioningcity’s bright idea

opinionPeace Arch News

Changes to the ambulance service, announced on Feb. 5 by the B.C. Emergency Health Services,

should prove beneficial to residents in Surrey and Delta.

A total of eight new ambulances are being added, and 34 paramedics are being hired.

Three of the eight new ambulances will be based in Surrey, and none of them will be based in Vancouver. The City of Vancouver, with its high concentration of health institutions, has long been well-served by the ambulance service. The BCEHS has recognized that it is the fast-growing regions around the city that need help the most.

Thus Langley and Abbotsford will also get two new ambulances each, while the North Shore will get the eighth one. Meanwhile, in the Tri-City area, new paramedics will be hired.

This is a significant recognition that, in fast-growing areas (mostly within Fraser Health Authority), the level of service provided isn’t up to the highest standards.

BCEHS is targeting that in 75 per cent of calls for service, an ambulance will

arrive in under nine minutes.BCEHS executive vice-president Linda

Lupini said that new ambulances and more staff are only part of the answer to improving response times. BCEHS is

looking at a number of ways to speed up response times. Among the most important is to reduce the amount of time paramedics wait in hospital emergency rooms to hand over incoming patients.

For these waiting times to be reduced, hospitals, particularly in the FHA, need to make reforms to how they deal with patients in the emergency departments. This will not be easy. Wait times in the busiest FHA hospitals often stretch out for many hours.

Lupini also says a number of calls that are currently made to the ambulance service can be redirected, with patients dealing with a physician over the phone, or paramedics seeing and treating patients without taking them to the hospital.

Local fire departments have been complaining about the long wait times for ambulances, as firefighters who are called to medical distress calls must wait until the ambulance arrives. This has the potential to tie up firefighters when they

are needed elsewhere.Surrey fire Chief Len Garis is optimistic

about the changes, saying he believes they will make the system more efficient.

The changes could go further, but there isn’t likely the political will to do so.

Firefighters are first responders and have taken on that role for many years. However, they are not paramedics and their duties when arriving on scene are primarily to stabilize patients.

Municipalities could agree to have firefighters trained as paramedics and thus assume more of the costs for health care, which is a provincial responsibility. Or conversely, the ambulance service could expand even further and actually take over as first responders.

Neither move is particularly likely, given that municipalities are reluctant to spend more of their budgets on health care.

The province, meanwhile, has greatly benefited from the effective download of some of its health care responsibilities to local taxpayers.

No matter if there are more significant changes in the works or not, the additional ambulances and paramedics coming to the fastest-growing areas of B.C. will be busy from the moment they arrive.

The population of Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford and other surrounding areas will keep growing, and people who move there need to have timely access to medical services.

quote of note

lettersPeace Arch NewsPeace Arch News

Focus on their acts, not agesEditor:Re: Steps across the spectrum, Jan. 22 letters.

I’d like to respond to this letter and come to the defence and give a voice to the younger generation.

Statistics could compile a greater spectrum of information to give a more accurate explanation for the bad driving habits of all drivers collectively, giving a better snapshot of the population overall that endanger public safety.

The spectrum analogy sounds rather presumptuous and political to me and puts me somewhere in the centre of a more linear perspective. The letter, however, cast the first stone to target young people who are self-centred and further speculates their inattention will inevitably result in an accident.

Saying young people are more likely to be presumptuous and careless may have some truth and we’ve all been young, regardless of our years. There is no excuse for irresponsibility, but young people don’t cause accidents – inattention causes accidents.

In a discussion on consideration as opposed to carelessness or even presumption, it would be more realistic to include a comprehensive age group. Differences in age shouldn’t be disparaged as polar opposites in that age-spectrum analogy.

I agree inattention is an important subject and should be treated seriously. There are so many distractions and making that the subject of a conversation may be a more constructive approach.

Passing judgment on young people for a lack of appropriate driving etiquette or for pedestrian safety shouldn’t be limited to a particular age group. All drivers in general have an increased responsibility to police their own actions while in control of a motor vehicle; a person’s age should not be a testimony to good or bad driving habits. There can be many contributing factors other than age responsible for inattention.

I’m pretty sure drivers of all ages and driving abilities are guilty of cellphone use.

In my opinion, questioning a person’s integrity as associated with their age is as relative as making any prejudicial statement, which in any such instance would have a negative outcome for any target audience, in this instance young people.

The words on the street here are consideration and self awareness – two human qualities to live by.

It’s true that thoughtless actions can have an unfortunate consequence. Everyone wants to have a sense of security while enjoying a walk and equally an act of courtesy is disarming. We have to remember, while security is something we unfortunately have to police, courtesy is a social grace and, more favourably, it is absolutely voluntary. Courtesy is a kindness to experience and not an opportunity to fault another. Richard Palatinus, White Rock

StabilityquestionedEditor:

I have just taken a walk along the waterfront and witnessed for the first time the almost complete denudation of the slope on the ‘hump’ (1950 agreement cited in clearcut work, Dec. 18).

So let me get this straight: the removal of almost all of the trees will actually improve slope stability?

Gee, what rock have I been living under all these years?Jim Armstrong, Surrey

DivergentleadershipEditor:Re: Looking back on Harper, Jan 6 column; Show some respect for past PM, Jan. 20 letters.

I applaud columnist Tom Fletcher and letter-writer L. Young for their perceptive comments on our prime ministers, Stephen Harper’s tenure and currently Justin Trudeau.

Many of my friends and I saw Harper as a quiet, rather retiring figure who often walked away from the spotlight rather than into it. However, we had great respect for his dignity and wise decisions.

After the recent reversal of Bill C-377 (Tories continue to defend Hiebert’s bill, Feb. 10), who is going

to hold union management and First Nations’ leaders accountable for the funding they receive from their members or the government.

We have seen First Nations people crying out for decent water and sewer systems while revelations of just a few who complied with the First Nations Financial Transparency Act showed leaders who were collecting excessive funds at the expense of their people. Trudeau preached transparency to the cameras but even suspended sanctions on those who refused to comply with the act.

Now we are told we are likely faced with a $90-billion deficit by the end of Trudeau’s first term. That is debt that our children and grandchildren will continue to face for years. They won’t even be able to pay off the interest with the big taxes that have to come.

Compare this with Harper’s policies of balanced books and even paying off our current debt.

We Canadians are so quick to forget that it was the Conservative government’s policies and good legislation governing our banking system that brought us through the 2008 financial crisis. We had worldwide respect in floundering nations, including the U.S.

Again, in immigration and refugee matters, the Conservative government before the election already had promised to bring in 10,000 refugees and they put in place the screening process to ensure our safety and entry of the most vulnerable first. Enter Trudeau in front of the cameras to

take the credit for doing what the Conservatives had already put in place quietly behind the cameras.

Wake up, fellow Canadians, consider the factual history and give our former PM Harper the respect he deserves for his accomplishments. You might not agree with all of them or dislike the Conservatives, but we should at least recognize the facts.Mary Bruce, White Rock

Struggles alleviatedEditor:

Just wanted to express my thanks to all the very thoughtful individuals that walk the streets in the White Rock/South Surrey area. Your kindness was indeed welcome.

Having been confined to a wheelchair/knee walker for the past four months – thanks to a 49-year-old ski accident – I have been the recipient of many heart-warming smiles and door-opening assistance. I even had a shopper offer to help me gather my groceries, and a couple of really sweet gentlemen come to my aid as I struggled to load the knee walker into the trunk of my car.

To all you Good Samaritans, I just wanted you to know how much I appreciated your consideration and how heartwarming it was to have your help. Your actions really did make a difference.Susan Potzold, White Rock

Melissa Smalley photoTo charge sick people who need to go to the hospital for parking is pretty pathetic, writes M. M. Keij.

Editor:After an obligatory recent visit to Peace Arch Hospital

in White Rock – and spending quite a bit of money on the every-hungry parking meters surrounding it – I noticed a huge parking lot between 16 and 18 avenues without a single car parked on it. Many signs threatened “Fraser Health permit parking only”.

I believe there should not be paid parking around a hospital – any hospital – period!

Nobody in his right mind wants to spend time in a hospital, but many unfortunately have to do so for no frivolous reasons. Most of us are well aware that an appointment of any kind to a hospital can take from 15 minutes if one is really lucky, to many hours if one is not.

Needless to say, nobody wants to stay longer than is absolutely necessary in a hospital.

We the taxpayers should not have to stuff the blasted meters when illness, accident, emergency or death sends us to a hospital, and even doctor-prescribed tests or exams, as well as visits to a loved one in hospital, should not be used as another money grab by the

city. If we live in a civilized society, I call this highly uncivilized.

White Rock is already charging Surreyites and tourists to death while shopping or using its restaurants, and it is no wonder a lot of people now prefer eating out in Surrey.

To charge sick people who need to go to the hospital for parking is pretty pathetic.

It is not like we have plenty of public transportation that will get us from A to B – or to PAH, in this case – so maybe it is time for both mayors to give up the paid parking with its much-reviled parking fines around a place where sadly enough all of us need to go sometime.

If you agree, write your municipal honchos and let’s do away with the absurd meters and expensive parking lots around the hospital.

A protest en masse may have our elected municipal officials listen to us for a change! Or we may be faced next with a fee to enter the urban forests.M. M. Keij, Surrey

Drivers who use the Pattullo Bridge will face five months of delays starting at the end of April as TransLink carries out a scaled-down rehabilitation project to keep the aging bridge open.

The bridge will be closed completely over the April 30-May 1 weekend starting on the Friday evening while crews set up to resurface the deck.

Traffic will be restricted to one lane in each direction on weekdays until early October and that’s expected to result in 20- to 40-minute delays in the morning rush and 10 to 30 minutes in the afternoon peak, with higher volumes on all feeder routes in Surrey and New Westminster.

Complete bridge closures are expected two nights each week and one weekend a month.

“People should be planning ahead for this work,” TransLink spokesperson Jennifer Morland said.

“Think about alternatives like transit or carpooling as those might be faster options.”

She noted there will also be some overlap with the Pattullo work and New Westminster’s dismantling of its Front Street parkade, which is sending heavy trucks onto alternate routes through New West until July.

The $10-million project has been dramatically scaled down from what

was originally intended to be a $100-million rehabilitation lasting 18 months.

TransLink officials last fall rejected the seismic rehab work as too expensive – if it was even possible – and opted to minimize spending since it intends to replace the Pattullo

with a new bridge as quickly as possible.

TransLink says it has identified extra parking locations near New Westminster, Scott Road and Surrey Central stations for motorists opting to park and ride. For more details see translink.ca/pattullorehab

Communities Minister Peter Fassbender says Metro Vancou-ver mayors shouldn’t worry that the province’s request for fed-eral money to help build the new Massey Bridge will eat into the grants available for transit expansion.

The province has pitched the Massey Tunnel replacement as a green infrastruc-ture project for the purposes of federal funding and one that will help with goods movement in the region.

Some mayors have expressed trepidation that they may be competing with the province for the $60 billion in new infrastruc-ture grants Ottawa is to begin

doling out.“That is not being put on the

table at the expense of the vision for Metro Vancouver,” Fassbender said of the Massey request. “We’re not saying ‘Give us money for this

at the expense of that.’”He said the provin-

cial government has a responsibility to con-sider the needs of the whole province.

Fassbender appeared in Surrey Friday with federal Infrastructure

Minister Amarjeet Sohi, who announced a new round of fed-eral gas tax transfers totalling $73 million for 57 projects across B.C.

Water and sewage system upgrades – such as $4.3 million for ultraviolet disinfection of wastewater in Abbotsford – dom-inated the list of grants.

Separately administered gas tax transfers for Metro Vancouver are destined for TransLink, mainly to replace buses.

Sohi confirmed the federal gov-ernment is strongly considering a more generous federal contribu-tion on the new infrastructure grants, deviating from the tradi-tional formula of one third each from Ottawa, Victoria and the local government.

He said that could allow munici-palities to pay less than one third of capital projects.

“We can’t change the formula for the existing funding under the Building Canada fund,” Sohi said.

“But we’re open to exploring the options of the federal government playing a greater role and provid-ing more funding than the one third that has been traditional in the past.”

Sohi confirms Ottawa may give more than a third

Housing Minister Rich Coleman was

flabbergasted at the angry response to his solution to the Victoria courthouse “tent city,” the latest tarp-covered camp to spring up in southern B.C.

Coleman announced two temporary shelters with three meals a day and medical supports. One is a former nursing home close to the courthouse squat, conveniently located near panhandling and drug dealing spots as well as taxpayer-funded services. The other offers indoor or outdoor tent space at a former youth custody centre, with a dedicated downtown shuttle bus so these “victims” of “homelessness” don’t have to endure B.C.’s most generous transit bus system.

We weren’t consulted, said the indignant

spokespeople for those bringing new-looking tents to take advantage of food and other handouts, offered in

B.C.’s warmest climate by the province’s most naïve local government.

But this was just a show for the media by our resident professional protesters, some of whom aren’t really “homeless.”

After the reaction, which

Coleman described as “bizarre,” the combined 88 housing opportunities are being snapped up. Those on welfare will have to fork over their $375 monthly housing allowance, as the province continues to convert more housing and offer more rent subsidies.

It’s no wonder that southern B.C. is the destination of choice. Coleman said it’s always been a seasonal thing, but this winter has been the highest in a decade, largely due to an exodus

of economic migrants from the downturn in Alberta, naturally heading for B.C.’s most desirable real estate.

I asked him about two other homeless hotspots. In Abbotsford, campers have ignored a city deadline to take down structures in a three-year-old camp, after temporary shelter and costly provincial supports were brought on. A courtroom and street confrontation looms with self-styled “drug war survivors” and their Vancouver legal help.

In Maple Ridge, a tent camp sprang up next to the local Salvation Army shelter, with people cycling through the shelter’s 15-day limit, camping and being fed until they could go back in.

Mayor Nicole Read, who has worked in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, said Maple Ridge took on its own outreach, shelter and housing effort because the province’s $1 million-a-year Salvation Army operation isn’t working.

Coleman is not amused. He said he’s had no complaints about Abbotsford’s Salvation Army shelter, and Read is the only one griping. And no mayor is going to tell him how to spend provincial dollars. Maple Ridge now has two shelters with accompanying street drugs, prostitution and crime.

I asked Coleman about the 10-year-study led by Simon Fraser University researcher Julian Somers on the housing, outreach and services in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. This is the heart of B.C.’s “housing first” strategy, where the province has bought and renovated 30 “single room occupancy” buildings, built another dozen and poured in every possible support, including the buyout of high-living executives at the Portland Hotel Society.

The study found that the hardest cases are worse off than ever, based on court, hospital and other service records, while the influx to the notorious Vancouver drug ghetto have tripled in 10 years.

“I haven’t had a chance to go over that report yet, but I disagree with the assumption I’ve heard already, because I walk the Downtown Eastside,” Coleman said. “I don’t know if they do every few weeks to a month, but I’ve been doing it for about nine or 10 years and I can tell you it’s a whole lot better down there.”

The question is whether problems are being solved, or just better hidden from view.

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Tracy HolmesStaff Reporter

South Surrey teen John Jiang knows he’s fortunate to live the life he leads – in a comfortable home with access to

everything he needs, including education.At the same time, the Grade 11 student

knows he’s no different than kids less fortunate, like those he’s visited in rural Zhuanghe, China, who live in homes with minimal furniture and an unstable income.

“We’re both students, we both have dreams of our future,” Jiang said.

A desire to help students in developing countries whose families are struggling financially access education was the driving motivation behind creation of the Thinking Sprout Society.

Founded by Jiang and fellow Semiahmoo Secondary students Tina Zheng and Emerson Hsieh, the society – which started with fewer than 10 members and now boasts nearly 30 – works to raise awareness and funds to help impoverished students access school supplies.

“We believe that education’s for everyone and we believe that education is crucial… for a country to grow,” Jiang said.

“If they are uneducated, they don’t have the knowledge to pursue for their careers.”

One donation co-ordinated by society member Aleza Zheng provided 30 backpacks, 1,000 pencils, more than 200 notebooks and other supplies to an elementary school in Yingde, Guangdong. Funds were also used to purchase

stationery.In addition to supporting children in

China, the society has partnered with Dalit Freedom Network Canada, an international network that Jiang said “helps provide children who are classified as ‘untouchable’ in the caste system in India access to education.”

Thinking Sprout Society’s first event, in February last year – following its incorporation in October 2014 – raised nearly $1,500, and Jiang said further events have pushed the total past $2,000.

They’re hoping to boost it by at least another $500 at an event next week in the Turnbull Gallery at the South Surrey Art & Recreation Centre (14601 20 Ave.). The Feb. 26 event, TS Coffee

House, 5-8 p.m., is to include music and comedy entertainment, raffle draws and refreshments.

Jiang said he can’t imagine living one day in such conditions as he witnessed in rural China during his visits. But what he saw is enough to keep him motivated to help.

“I feel like I’m using my limited power to make some changes in the world,” he said. “I can’t say what I’m doing is making a huge difference, but it’s certainly making a difference.

“That’s the power I have myself.”Coffee House tickets are a $5 donation to

the society; each includes a raffle ticket.For more information, visit www.

Th e consequences of hiding hearing loss are greater than wearing hearing aids.

What price are you paying for vanity? Untreated hearing loss is far more noticeable

than hearing aids. If you miss a punch line to a joke, or respond inappropriately in conversation, people may have concerns about your mental acuity, your attention span or your ability to communicate eff ectively. Th e personal consequences of vanity can be life altering. On a simplistic level, untreated hearing loss means giving up some of the pleasant sounds you used to enjoy. At a deeper level, vanity could severely reduce the quality of your life.

If you are a lawyer, teacher or a group psycho-therapist, where very refi ned hearing is necessary to discern the nuances of human communication, then even a mild hearing loss can be intolerable. If you seldom socialize, then perhaps you are some-

one who is tolerant of even moderate hearing loss. Th e prevalent view is that hearing loss is “only” a quality of life issue.

If, quality of life is defi ned as “greater enjoyment of music,” then one might agree. But studies clearly demonstrate that hearing loss is associated with physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being. Depression, anxiety, emotional instability, phobias, withdrawal, isolation, lessened health status, lower self-esteem, and so forth, are not “just quality of life issues.” For some people, uncorrected hearing loss is a “life and death issue.”

If you are one of those people with a mild, moderate or severe hearing loss, who is sitting on the fence, consider all the benefi ts of hearing aids described above. Hearing aids hold such great potential to positively change so many lives. Th e myth that untreated hearing loss is a harmless condition is wrong. You won’t know what you are missing until you . . . just try.

Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea

Swim so wild and you swim so free

It was Family Day at the Vancouver Aquarium last week, and Raffi’s lyrics came swimming (pun intended) back to me like it was 1986.

The place was packed as families jockeyed for position to view the amazing 50,000 aquatic creatures that connect these frantic families to the natural world. No need for smartphones, save for snapping photos to remember this incredible sensory experience.

I pressed my nose against the transparent glass barrier, willing the Beluga whales to nudge closer to me. I sang the lyrics of this iconic ditty to my two surrogate grandchildren. I can remember every word.

You may recall in my May 2, 2013 column, Bless this grand biological clock, that I have no grandkids of my own, so it was a treat to be able to share this experience with my boyfriend’s two.

The youngest looked at me in a quizzical way as I continue my dirge. She is unfamiliar with Raffi; however, she knows all the words to Katy Perry’s Roar.

I got the eye of the tiger… louder, louder than a lion…

Very impressive, I am thinking, but we shall save that one for our trip to the zoo.

Meanwhile, back to the awesome display of diverse aquatic life.

Understanding our connection to this watery world taught my young friends the importance of a sustainable world in which we are interdependent.

I was a child once again participating with the grandkids in so many teachable moments. We learned that sea water freezes at -2 degrees Celsius. We knew the Arctic ice cap is melting

and that this is the Earth’s air-conditioning system.

We discovered the reason why the sharks don’t gobble up all the other fishes in the same tank; it is because the aquarium staff

feed them on a regular basis.

I can’t get over the two separate tanks of jellyfish. They are so beautiful and ethereal in their colourful, nautical dance. It was quite hypnotic and mesmerizing to watch them, hardly imagining that they can be so deadly.

The array of colours that greeted us in every tank is a testament to

the talent of Mother Nature.There was even a display

of penguins from Boulders Beach, South Africa, as well as tarantulas, parrots, piranhas and crocodiles from the Amazon and the Tropics right next to the playful sea otters and the dolphins. Closer to home, one could revel in the Treasures of the B.C. Coast.

The children were transfixed by the display of frogs in the Frogs Forever gallery. The world’s amphibians are under siege with more than 2,000 species threatened to be wiped

out within our grandchildrens’ lifetime. And frogs are the most endangered of all.

Kermit would not be impressed.

The granddaughter was thrilled to see Nemo and all her clownfish relatives.

The grandson was surprised to see a pregnant seahorse who happens to be a male!

The children filled five pages with the names of their favourite marine friends.

Next, we saw an informative display about the 2011 Japanese tsunami that resulted in tonnes of garbage being strewn upon our B.C. shores. My young companions learned they can become part of the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup, where in 2015, nearly 60,000 volunteers removed almost 180,000 kilograms of litter from Canada’s shorelines.

At the end of our utterly amazing day with my newly adopted family, we were sated with the splendour of the sea but famished.

Anyone hungry for fish and chips?

Family owned and operated, the all new “Charcoal Pizzeria” is now open for business. Located in the heart of South Surrey (2655 King George Blvd/152 Street), Charcoal Pizzeria is already making their presence felt around the South Surrey and White Rock neighborhoods.

Known for their famous Mediterranean thin crust pizzas, these exquisite pizzas are fi red grilled and made from only using the highest quality fl our and fresh ingredients.

“When we were kids growing up in the Mediterranean, we learned from our parents that the secret to making good, tasty and wholesome food was to use fresh ingredients. It was simply the way of life!”

“Many years later, our family built Charcoal Pizzeria on this same love and passion. We wanted our friends, their families and our community to experience this same “great food experience,” each and every day, the way our family has done for generations.”

Eli and Shelley, Owners and Hosts, also mentioned that if guests don’t have a yearning for pizza, they also off er many other enticing Mediterranean choices, such as pasta, fl at breads, burgers, paninis, salads, as well as, decadent desserts and gelato. There is also an extensive drink and appetizer menu and you can join them for live entertainment on the weekends! (see www.charcoalpizza.ca or call 604-531-7300 for more details).

The décor and ambience at the Charcoal Pizzeria is simply breath taking! Just imagine yourself being immersed in a fl ood of Mediterranean blue with chandeliers glistening all around you! No - I’m not exaggerating!

It is defi nitely a ‘must taste” and “must see” type of place!

Surrey RCMP is once again hosting a series of Neighbourhood Safety Meetings throughout the city.

Starting Feb. 17, the meetings are aimed at giving citizens tools and information they can use to boost safety in their own communities.

A similar initiative last year was “well-received,” Supt. Shawn Gill said in a news release.

“(It) demonstrated that residents were

eager to work with us towards creating positive change in their neighbourhoods,” Gill said.

“We want to build on the progress we made last year and continue to share information and engage with residents.”

Attendees will learn about local crime trends, current policing initiatives and how to engage with police in crime prevention and report suspicious activity.

All of the meetings get underway at 6:30

p.m., and will be hosted by senior officials and local Community Response Unit officers.

The City of Surrey’s new director of public safety strategies, Dr. Terry Waterhouse, will also be speaking at each session.

In South Surrey, residents are invited to come out on March 3 to Jessie Lee Elementary (2064 154 St.).

In the city’s four other policing districts,

meetings are set for Feb. 17 in Newton (Dr. F.D. Sinclair Elementary, 7480 128 St.); Feb. 24 in Guildford (Berkshire Park Elementary, 15372 94 Ave.); March 2 in Port Kells (Port Kells Elementary, 19076 88 Ave.); and March 9 in City Centre (Cedar Hills Elementary, 12370 98 Ave.).

More information is available at the detachment’s district offices.

A tradition of helping kids overseas get the tools they need to learn has resulted in more than 4,000 school-supply items being collected at White Rock Elementary.

The fundraiser, in its third year and led by the school’s Grade 7 Global Leadership Group, will benefit children in countries including Kenya and Cambodia, parent Lara Pai said.

Pai, whose aunt works with organizations including Hope International and Compassion Resources, said students have donated more than 7,000 items to the cause since the effort began.

“This time we raised over 4,037 school supplies including 2023 pencils,” Pai said by email. “No child should have to learn math or spelling with a stick in the sand – those that actually get to a school and have enough to eat.”

Flipping for kidsA fundraiser that aims

to help improve the lives of sick children across Canada returns to IHOP Restaurants – including the South Surrey location – next month.

During National Pancake Day, set for 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. March 8, guests are offered a free short stack of buttermilk pancakes and invited to donate to Children’s Miracle Network.

Miss Universe Canada Paola Nunez will make personal appearances at yet-to-be identified locations, trading in her tiara for a chef ’s hat

and apron to help flip and serve the pancakes.

All money raised will stay within the community where it was donated.

“I am excited to partner with IHOP and Children’s Miracle Network for National Pancake Day 2016 in Canada,” Nunez said in a news release.

“As an advocate of giving back and making a difference for children in need, I am honoured to be a part of an annual fundraising effort that is dedicated to

improving the lives of kids in need across Canada.”

National Pancake Day began in the U.S. in 2006, and is now celebrated in IHOP restaurants throughout

Mexico and the Philippines as well as Guam and Puerto Rico.

The South Surrey IHOP is located at 2429 152 St.

When your printer ink is running low, do you high-tail it to the nearest big box offi ce supply store and then cringe every time you pay the bill? If so, you should check out your local Cartridge World, at #12-3189 King George Boulevard. For about half of what it costs to buy new, Cartridge World – the world’s fastest growing ink refi lling retailer – can refi ll or remanufacture 95 per cent of inkjet and laser toner cartridges, using top-quality, brand-specifi c ink and toners. Operating more than 1,400 locations in 50 countries, Cartridge World keeps money IN your pocket and hundreds of millions of empty printer cartridges OUT of landfi lls every year. This proactive solution to waste reduction is a win-win for customers, entrepreneurs and the environment. Frequently Asked Questions: Q: Is there a risk to using a refi lled cartridge? Not at all! There should be no difference in the print quality after the cartridge is refi lled. Our 100% money back satisfaction guarantee is a sign of our confi dence and removes any risk from you trying our services. Q: How much money will I save by refi lling? Your savings may vary depending on your printer. As a rule of thumb, you can expect to save up to 50 per cent on refi lls at Cartridge World, compared to the cost of a brand new cartridge. In fact, Peninsula businesses and residents are saving hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars every year by making the switch. In addition to savings, Cartridge World also offers their customers the ability to make a choice regarding waste reduction and the environment. Q: Will using refi lled cartridges void the printer manufacturer’s warranty? No. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prohibits the printer manufacturer from voiding the warranty. Printer manufacturers will almost always advise you against refi lling because they want you to keep buying their expensive replacement cartridges and accessories. You can feel confi dent that cartridges sold, refi lled or remanufactured by Cartridge World will meet or exceed your expectations. Our own warranty also extends to your printer on any valid claim! Q: Is cartridge refi lling and remanufacturing the only service Cartridge World provides? No. Cartridge World is a one-stop shop! In addition to a printer/fax/copier repair service, we stock a full selection of new and compatible ink and laser cartridges, copier toners, fax and postage meter supplies, specialty paper and labels.

WorldServe Thrift is not your typical thrift store. Not by a long shot.Sure, it has all the thrift store essentials. It accepts items on a donation basis, and then sells them at affordable prices. But that’s where the similarities end.When someone donates an item, explains store manager Melody Jobse, it sets off a chain of events that benefi ts everyone involved. The donator frees up space by giving away an unneeded possession. The buyer gets a great deal on something they love. And then the wheels really get turning.Says Jobse, “Our sales create life-changing opportunities for people globally. That’s because our net revenue is directly applied to WorldServe Ministries’ mission-driven outreach endeavours in China, Cuba, Ethiopia, and Myanmar. Since opening the doors in 2010, over $1.2 million dollars has been directly invested.“So, your donated furniture becomes a bright future for people in Cuba who can now start micro businesses. Serviceable housewares become hope for children in Ethiopia and Myanmar who receive education on their journey out of poverty. Gently used clothing becomes a camping ministry for migrant children in China. Bibles for believers, support for churches, relief for victims of natural disasters - they’re all part of what WorldServe does and why WorldServe Thrift exists.” More than that, WorldServe Thrift is environmentally responsible. By helping repurpose items, it keeps them from landing in the dump. It re-directs customers to proper recycling options, and it passes donation overfl ows to local partners such as outreach shelters, street ministries, and foster families.So, what can you fi nd when you visit WorldServe Thrift? A new spring outfi t or a great pair of shoes. Home décor and furniture, kitchen appliances, linens, household goods, books, and maybe even a rare collectible. New items arrive all the time - get the scoop on Facebook at WorldserveThrift/WhiteRock.And, with the long awaited expansion this spring, WorldServe Thrift’s clean, spacious facility will be a heck of a lot bigger too.Donate, shop, or consider volunteering and becoming part of this Canadian non-profi t, faith-based charity. For more info, call the store 9AM-5PM Monday thru Saturday at 778-294-6800 or hit [email protected]. Better still, drop by at 1401 Johnston Rd.

Barnes Wheaton General Sales Manager Eric Knight believes experience is key. “Our GM, Larry Holcroft, has 30 years experience. I have 30 years experience. There are folks in our Used Car and Parts Departments with more than that.“It comes down to the people.”And that, he says, is what his dealership is all about. People helping people. At Barnes Wheaton, says Knight, “there are no gongs or loud music blaring away, and there’s no high-pressure pitches. We’re consultants, not salespeople.“We hear constantly that when you walk into our store, there’s a calmness, a homey feel that you won’t fi nd just anywhere. In fact, we have visitors who come in only to have a coffee and chat. “When our owner, Greg Barnes, bought the business in 2008, he wanted to create something that would be a source of pride. And as a group, we are very proud of what we stand for.”For 2016, says Knight, Barnes Wheaton has some special surprises in store. The fi rst is a car that costs less than $10,000. It’s the Chevy Spark - a small, effi cient hatchback that’s been substantially tweaked - body, engine, and more - for the new model year.But Knight’s most proud of the completely redone 2016 Chevy Malibu. It’s a “game changer,” he says. “It’s been redesigned from the ground up and features a sleek, European-style silhouette.”Knight advises that both the new Spark and Malibu, and within the year most Chevy vehicles, will offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. “Basically, you plug in your phone and your car becomes your mobile device,” he says. “You can see your phone’s display on the dash. You can access apps using your voice, and it’ll even read texts to you.”And if used cars are your thing, Knight says the Barnes Wheaton difference is clear. “Most dealerships put their used cars through a safety check. But here, we recondition our used cars. For example, if the brake pads are at 50%, we change them.The dealership, says Knight, also employs a third-party analyst who checks, in real time, “where we are priced within the market. We want to show our customers the report because we are the most aggressive used car dealer in the region.”

Anything that you need, we’ll do,” says Anna Erickson, who started Lady Bug’z with partner Mike Alioto four years ago.

The initial aim of the business was to help local seniors be able to live independently longer, as well as make the transition into a care home.

From care aides and housekeeping to organization, help with running errands or simple companionship, Lady Bug’z Lifestyle Assistant offers a variety of services aimed at helping seniors stay comfortable and safe at home as long as possible.

The help is not just for seniors, however, as the couple says Lady Bug’z services are available to anyone who needs a hand.

In addition to care aides and personal assistant services, Lady Bug’z offers yard work, gardening and handyman services,home check while you’re away and even help with season preparations, such as decorating for major holidays. In addition, Lady Bugz also provides moving services and much more.

“The thing that we have heard the most was how diffi cult it was for some seniors to live on their own and how hard it was to transition,” Anna says. For more information and a full list of Lady Bug’z Lifestyle Assistant’s Services, visit www.ladybugzbiz.com. Call 778-242-4558 for general enquiries or 604-306-0599 for questions about maintenance services.

Today, there’s a myriad of window treatment options for the discerning homeowner - some that didn’t exist even a few years ago. Many will surprise you not only with their functionality, but their esthetics and level of sophistication. If only there was a local shop that carried a thorough selection of the latest and greatest - a place you could go to see, touch, and test the slickest window coverings on the market. Now, there is. At New Accent Window Fashions, located conveniently on 24th Avenue between Peninsula Village and Morgan Crossing shopping malls, owner Nash Karim and his staff have assembled a state of the art showroom featuring hand-picked, state of the art products. We provide a shop-at-home service – measure, supply and install. You won’t fi nd anything like this at the big box stores. But though the showroom is new, Nash and staff certainly aren’t. New Accent has been in business in Surrey since 1986, with Nash at the helm all the way. The move to South Surrey, he says, came because, “it’s a great community with some amazing homes. The homeowners here want high quality, a great selection, and a knowledgeable staff when they shop for window coverings, and that’s exactly what we offer.”The new showroom is has two levels. Downstairs you’ll fi nd drapes and curtains, custom-made on site with the fi nest fabrics and to exacting specifi cations.Upstairs are the blinds. Featuring upscale manufacturers such as Hunter Douglas and Habitat. The collection includes California style shutters, cordless units, child safety style blinds, roller shades, blinds that fold up and down, low-profi le blinds that optimize the view, and a number of extremely impressive (and extremely quiet) remote-controlled motorized models.The no-hassle environment lets you sample to your heart’s content. And remember, everything is completely customizable. In fact, New Accent offers complementary in-home consultations for those who can’t quite make up their mind.Window treatments are the perfect fi nishing touch for any home. When you’re ready for yours, shop local and shop smart at New Accent Window Fashions.

the scene…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Enchanted AprilThere are still a few chances to

catch several actors well-known on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, in Langley Players’ Enchanted April, which closes this Saturday (Feb. 20) at Langley Playhouse, 4307 200 St.

Dann Wilhelm, Sheila Greentree and White Rock actress Irene Rowe are featured in the play, which, director Marko Hohlbein promises, will “take you away from the rain and gloom of

our West Coast winter to the sunshine and promise of an Italian villa.”

Based on the 1920s novel by Elizabeth von Arnim, Enchanted April traces the story of a woman who seeks to escape an “empty marriage and the dreary drudgery of

day-to-day life,” by travelling to the Italian Riviera.

Show times are 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

For reservations, visit http://www.langleyplayers.com/reservations.html or buy tickets online at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/producer/133005. Patrons may also email [email protected] or call 604-534-7469.

paying tribute to legendary balladeer Neil Diamond, Bobby Bruce is as ‘Nearly Neil’ as any performer can get.

Bruce brings his Nearly Neil show to the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240 (2643 128 St.) Saturday, Feb. 20 at 8 p.m. (cocktails at 7 p.m.) and those who want to catch the show should buy tickets early – his last show at Branch 240 sold out.

Highlights of his career include a 10-month tour of the U.S. with the Las Vegas-based Legends in Concert, two tours of Australia with Legends of Rock and performing at the Toronto Skydome, selling out Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom, and playing several luxury cruises of the South Pacific.

Tickets ($20) are available at the Branch 240 canteen.

Crescent Branch 240 will be jumping to the sound of jazz this Sunday (Feb. 21) as White Rock Traditional Jazz Society’s regular 2 to 5 p.m. session of live Dixieland/Swing returns to the hall (2643 128 St.).

The band is ace reedman Gerry Green’s Crescent City Shakers, featuring Jim Armstrong on trumpet and White Rock’s own Bill Dixon on banjo.

Upcoming bands on the schedule include the Bonnie Northgraves Jazz Band (Feb. 28) and the Butter & Egg Jazz Band March 6).

Admission (19 and up) is $10 for WRTJS and Legion members, $12 for everybody else).

Their duo, coming to White Rock’s Blue Frog Studios Feb. 25 at 8 p.m., have honed a tight, lively and story-filled set of classic material from their respective careers as well as brand-new, recently recorded material from their forthcoming self-titled album.

Veteran songwriters and accomplished instrumentalists, they’re responsible for such hits as All The Things I Wasn’t, Peace of Mind, O Lucky Man (Kane), and She Ain’t Pretty, Hopes Go Astray, and Dream Away (Potvin).

The venue is located at 1328 Johnston Rd.; tickets ($35) are available at 604-542-3055 or through www.bluefrogstudios.ca

Led ZepagainWhen Jimmy Page himself says

the band is “as close as you’ll ever get to the real deal,” you know that Led Zepagain is doing right by the classic rock of the legendary Led Zeppelin (Stairway To Heaven, Black Dog, Whole Lotta Love).

The tribute band presents it’s “ultimate Led Zeppelin experience” Wednesday, Feb. 24 at 9:15 p.m. at Blue Frog Studios.

David ‘Swan’ Montgomery channels lead singer Robert Plant, while Jimmy Sakurai captures the guitar excitement of Page, Derek Smith matches the ferocity of drummer John Bonham and

Jim Wooten (nephew of iconic guitarist/technology developer Les Paul) covers the multi-instrument brilliance of John Paul Jones.

EMS anniversaryEarl Marriott Secondary is

planning to celebrate 40 years of theatrical productions with a fundraising gala Feb. 26, 7 p.m. at – where else? – the school’s Wheelhouse Theatre.

Many distinguished alumni will return for special guest appearances as the school’s theatre program looks back fondly with song, dance and other merrymaking – and it’s a chance for generations of students (and parents) to remember past triumphs and share memories with Rick Harmon (former drama guru) and Candace Radcliffe (current department head).

Tickets are $40, and the aim of the evening is to raise some $40,000 to replace aging equipment – through a silent auction and commemorative ‘brick’ and seat sales, as well as admission.

Tickets will be available in person from the Wheelhouse box office from 3:30 to 4:30 pm., Monday, Feb. 22 to Thursday Feb.

25. To reserve tickets online. email [email protected]

Julio MorenoA show of some 26 acrylic

paintings, pastels and charcoal drawings, which runs to Feb. 29 at Semiahmoo Library, is the first for a Peruvian-Canadian artist, Julio Moreno, 71.

Moreno, who emigrated to Canada some 45 years ago, first began creating art six years ago after retiring from a career in electrical engineering and security.

“I told my wife many, many years ago that when I retire, I’m going to do art,” he said.

But while Moreno has had a lifelong knack of drawing things (“doodling,” he calls it) it was only after he retired that he began learning techniques in different media, taking some 24 art course credits as a mature student at Kwantlen University.

Influenced by the simplified Yukon landscapes of Ted Harrison and the colourful contemporary primitivism of Michael Tickner, Moreno concentrates on stylized studies of people from his homeland, with semi-abstract backgrounds in which he emphasizes a palette of warm, vibrant and optimistic colours.

Semiahmoo Library is located at 1815 152 St. (for opening hours call 604-592-6900).

sports…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Nick GreenizanSports Reporter

If there was ever doubt that Tamara Veitch was part of a hockey family, it was erased last week by her youngest

son, Andy Bodner. The nine-year-old atom hockey player

was all set for his “show-and-share” day at Ocean Cliff Elementary, but the night before decided to scrap his planned project because he instead wanted to bring the trophy his Semiahmoo Bandits had won just a few days earlier – at a tournament in Mission bearing the name of his late grandfather, Jim.

In the 30-year history of the Jim Veitch Memorial Tournament, Andy – one of 17 grandchildren – was the first family member to have the opportunity to play in it.

“He threw out what he’d planned, and he got the trophy, and then he wrote out this great little paragraph about what it meant for him to play in his grandpa’s tournament,” explained Andy’s mother.

“When he got home, he was so excited and said the kids in his class had so many questions. One of them said, ‘Don’t you wish the cup had been full of candy?’ and he said, ‘No, just the feeling of holding it was enough.’

“Right then, I just thought – he gets it… We’re a hockey family.”

***As far back as Veitch could remember,

her dad was involved in hockey. When she and her four siblings – two

brothers, two sisters – were very young and living on the Prairies, Jim was involved with the Winnipeg Jets junior-hockey organization (long before the name became synonymous with the professional team), and upon moving to the Lower Mainland, he became a fixture on the Mission hockey scene.

In addition to working tirelessly with Mission Minor Hockey, he was also instrumental in bringing the junior ‘B’ Mission City Outlaws to town – a team now coached by his son, Brad.

“He always had a real job – he worked for Pittsburgh Paints and Glass – but he

was always working in hockey behind the scenes. It was his passion,” his daughter said.

When she was just 16 – and her siblings between 14 and 22 years old – her father died at age 43 after suffering a heart attack.

“He died so young, and it was a big blow to our family, and it was also a big loss for our little community, because he was so well-known, so visible,” she said. “It changes you, but it made us all very close as a family, and it makes you realize you can’t take anything for granted.

Though Andy – nor older brothers Max and Quinn – never knew his grandfather, Veitch said getting to play in the event that bears the Veitch name “has brought him to life for my boys.”

“Even though some of the grandchildren

played hockey – even some in Mission – Andy was basically the last chance for a Veitch to play in the tournament,” she explained.

***People in hockey circles like to talk

sometimes about “the hockey gods” – the imaginary sporting deity that smiles or frowns upon players and teams at certain times throughout the season. Maybe a puck miraculously stays out of your net in one game, or your team scores a game-winner with a second left on the clock in another.

Or, in the case of the Bandits, it puts you in touch with an old friend at the perfect time.

When the Bandits – including the parents, coach Kerry Penner and manager Theo Pella – mapped out their season at

the beginning of the atom house-league season, the Veitch tournament was listed as one the team was trying to get into, though nobody at the time aside from his daughter knew the family connection to it.

“I happened to send a note to my sister-in-law (in Mission) that we were looking to get into the tournament, and of course, within like 20 seconds, I get a message from somebody I grew up with, who of course is running the tournament,” she laughed. “It’s a small town, I guess. They told us to get our application in quick, and I think they kind of saved us a spot, because they knew what it meant.”

The hockey gods smiled upon the team once they hit the ice, too. Though the squad had played at about a .500 level all season – win one, lose one – they caught fire on Family Day weekend, reeling off six straight victories. In the semifinals, the team won in a shootout. In the championship game, Semiahmoo won 5-3 over an Aldergrove team that had yet to lose a game all year.

And then three decades after the Mission Minor Hockey Association held the first Jim Veitch Memorial Tournament, a member of his family finally raised the trophy over his head in triumph.

“There was definitely a ‘do it for Andy’ feeling in the dressing room before the game,” said Penner.

“And the team was really riding a high after our shootout win. I think we were all just shocked when we won – we couldn’t have written a better ending to our weekend.”

Andy scored the team’s first goal and added an assist. His grandmother, Shirley Anderson, was in the stands to see it, alongside a number of other family members.

“They gave the trophy to him, and let him skate around with it – it was like they’d won the Stanley Cup,” his mom said.

“It was a pretty crazy weekend. Hockey has been a big part of all of our lives, so this was pretty magical.”

Surrey pair competing at senior mens’ event

Curlers set for provincials

Contributed photoSemiahmoo Peninsula resident Neil Higgins and his horse, Ernie, compete at the 2015 National Cutting Horse Association World Championship Futurity in Fort Worth, Texas last November.

A few months removed from competing at the 2015 National Cutting Horse Association World Championship Futurity – “the crown jewel” of the sport – Neil Higgins is getting back in the saddle.

Higgins and his horse, Ernie – named after Higgins’ grandfather – are currently training for the 2016 cutting-horse season, which begins locally next month.

Horse cutting is an equestrian sport in which a rider and horse work together to demonstrate the horse’s ability to herd cattle, and are given a score from a judge or panel of judges.

“As a rider, we go into the herd and separate the cow and then the horse takes over… it’s a 2½-minute adrenaline rush,” Higgins explained.

The first event on the BC Ranch Cutting Horse Association schedule is March 20 in Abbotsford, and Higgins says his horse – which is boarded and trains in Langley – will be ready.

“The horses are in training year-

round,” he explained. In addition to the March events

locally, the next big competition is the BC Maturity, set for June 30 in Kamloops.

No matter how the coming season goes, Higgins admits he’s already “lived his dream” of competing at the world championships last November in Fort Worth, Texas.

In Fort Worth, Higgins and Ernie – whom Higgins purchased and moved to Canada from Texas – competed in two amateur divisions, and just missed moving onto semifinals in one competition.

“It was a huge achievement for my first time showing in such a prestigious event,” Higgins said, who called owning a horse “a lifelong dream” and competing in cutting “checks a box on my bucket list.”

January 25, 1935 - February 9, 2016

Derek passed away after a short battle with cancer and is survived by his wife of 55 years, Patricia (Pat), daughter Suzanne (Tom), son Stuart (Shannon) and his grandchildren Sean, Veronica, Chris, Nicole and Julie.

“Sir,” your crooked smile will be dearly missed.

Derek thanked his lucky stars for his wonderful family and friends, believing his three greatest achievements were marrying Pat; becoming Dad, then Grandfather; and third, coming to Canada as a young man.

Starting out in “Brum” (Birmingham, England), “Nipper” - as his Dad called him - came a long way in eighty-one years. From Paper Boy in 1945 to 1948, to Administrative Offi cer at the University of Alberta from 1975 to 1991, Derek succeeded and prospered “enough” so that he and Pat were able to make the most of their retirement years travelling much of the world. And he was able to fi ll his passion for a good game of golf.

The family will celebrate Derek’s life at an Open House on Sunday, February 28th, from 2pm to 5pm at his

house. All friends and neighbours welcome.In lieu of fl owers, donations may be made to a

charity of your choice.

Beloved mother of three, passed away peacefully. Survived by Pelagia, Katherine & Georgina; grandchildren: Angela, Tyler, Brodie Karissa; Great grandchildren: Jovee & Etley. Private services.

HAGGQUIST, Shirley DoreenDecember 8, 1930 - February 2, 2016

With heavy hearts we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved friend, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and aunt, on Tuesday February 2 at Peace Arch Hospicein White Rock, BC, at the age of 85. She was predeceased by her father Edward, her mother Anne, her brother Calvin and sister Sharon. She is survived by, and will live on in the hearts of, her loving husband of 63 years Herm, their two sons Neil and Gary, daughters-in-law Catherine and Ellie, grandchildren Charonne, Kristin, Ben, Mara, and Lia, and great grandchil-dren Austin, Vienna, Nicholas and Vincent. She is also sur-vived by her sisters Phyllis, Ila Fay, and Joyce, her brothers Lloyd, Keith, Brian, and Harvey, and by her many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

She was the oldest daughter and second of ten children born to Edward Sweeney (born 1893 in Litchville, North Dakota) and Anne (Stephen) Sweeney (born 1903 in Yorkton then in the Northwest Territories). Shirley was born in the small southern Saskatchewan town of Bengough in 1930 and grew up near there on the Sweeney farm. She started her education riding a horse to a one room elementary schoolhouse (the Wright School,) a short distance from the farm. She later attended the Horizon High School (also of-ten by horseback,) and completed her grade 12 at Bengough High School. Her desire to be a nurse came early. Too young to enter nursing school, she volunteered at the Bengough Hospital until she was old enough. In 1949 she entered the nursing program at the Grey Nuns School of Nursing in Regina and graduated there in 1952. Over the years she kept in contact with many of her student nursing colleagues and enjoyed returning to Regina for Grey Nuns School of Nursing reunions.

Shirley married Herm Haggquist in 1953 and they had two sons, Neil (born 1954,) and Gary (born 1959.) They moved from Saskatchewan to BC in 1958, living for a short time in Lac LaHache before moving to Surrey. Shirley worked as a nurse for many years at Surrey Memorial hospital, later at the offi ce of Dr. J.M. Beaton, and then as staff nurse at the Sears department store at Surrey Place. Nursing colleagues and other co-workers note that though she was all business and a tough taskmaster when it counted, she also liked to have fun and share a good laugh. Shirley loved life and had a great sense of humour. Family was always the center of her life and she cherished time spent with both them and with friends. Always a farm girl at heart, she loved to garden and was especially proud of her vegetable patch and her hanging baskets. In retirement Shirley and Herm liked to travel, visiting the US, Mexico, the Caribbean, Hawaii, Scandinavia, and Russia. She was especially fond of travelling to Sweden for family reunions where she met and became good friends with relatives there.

Shirley’s family would like to extend their sincere thanks and deepest gratitude to the outstanding nurses, doctors, and volunteers at the Peace Arch Hospice for the wonderful care she received there in her fi nal weeks. Thanks also go to the nurses and doctors at the Tertiary Care Unit at Surrey Memorial Hospital, to the public health nurses at Fraser Health, and to family physician Dr. Angus McDonald for his excellent and thoughtful care in Shirley’s later years.

As per Shirley’s wishes, there will be no memorial service. In lieu of fl owers, if you so wish, you can make a donation to the charity of your choice, to the Peace Arch Hospice Society or the BC Cancer Society.
