8,000 names on petition calling for ban in White Rock after raccoon injuries reported

Leg-hold traps unacceptable: mayor

Civic officials explain decision to put onus of solid-waste collection on stratas, businesses

City of White Rock gets an earful over trash plans

Tracy HolmesStaff Reporter

White Rock’s mayor says he would back enacting a ban on leg-hold traps in his city.

“Besides being a cruel form of entrapment, the likelihood of a domestic animal or even a child getting caught by one is just too great,” Baldwin told Peace Arch News by email Monday. “In my opinion, their use is totally unacceptable.”

The issue arose last month, after a resident reported that a mother raccoon had twice

been seriously mangled by leg-hold traps, and others responded with similar sightings.

The news prompted the Vancouver-based Association for the Protection of Fur-Bear-ing Animals to offer a $1,000 reward for information leading to the person respon-sible; as well, APFA launched an online petition calling on the City of White Rock to implement a ban on leg-hold traps.

The equipment is legal in B.C., regulated by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Resource Operations. According to information online,

rules include that they cannot be placed within 200 metres of a private home; that trappers must possess a licence or permit; and that, when used on public land, the traps must be checked at least once every 72 hours.

It is illegal to trap raccoons with leg-hold traps.

The petition for White Rock to crack down on their use has attracted both local and worldwide interest. As of this week, it bears more than 8,000 names, including from as far away as Spain, Germany and South

Africa.APFA spokesman Adrian Nelson said it’s

hoped the support will be enough to con-vince White Rock officials to take action.

“We’re hoping as soon as we can get in front of council, we’ll present it,” Nelson said Thursday. “Show that there’s enough support locally and around the world for this.”

Baldwin said he expects a staff report on the issue “in due course.” Council’s next regular meeting is set for Monday (April 13).

Tempers flared last Wednesday evening as more than 200 residents packed White Rock Community Centre to discuss the contentious issue of garbage collection.

The city-hosted meeting, mod-erated by White Rock Coun. Bill Lawrence, was intended to pro-vide information for residents of multifamily units about the priva-tization of solid-waste collection, but quickly turned into a forum for angry attendees to vent frus-

trations at the city regarding the change.

Speaking to the lively crowd, Mayor Wayne Baldwin imme-diately acknowledged the city’s shortcomings communicating the changes to service, set to take place July 1.

“We did not do a great job of communicating this,” Baldwin said, garnering applause from the crowd. “It could have been a lot better, and we would like to rectify this situation.”

Baldwin outlined some of the

reasons behind the termination of solid-waste pickup for multifam-ily residences – including current high costs, addressing the issue of organics collection and the need to move to user fees and align with the “best practices” of other municipalities.

He then turned the floor over to the city’s director of municipal operations, Greg St. Louis, who presented a slideshow (available at www.whiterockcity.ca) detailing the background of the city’s solid-waste plan and the next steps in

implementing it.When the meeting was opened

up for public questions and com-ments, residents expressed their discontent with the city and its plan.

Criticism ranged from the timing of the decision – made in-camera just weeks after the municipal elec-tion – to the feeling of “aban-donment” on the part of strata residents.

Warren Manuel, who lives in a 10-unit condo building, pointed out inequality between how the

city is treating multifamily dwell-ers and single-family residences.

“I don’t mind paying more taxes if I’m getting the kind of service that I want,” Manuel said. “But I don’t like the idea of single-family getting a pass and all the condo people getting their garbage cut off. That is not right. And I am not voting for any of you guys again.”

Adding a voice from the business community was restaurateur John Carroll, owner of Charlie Don’t Surf on Marine Drive.

The search for a new place to put the Newton policing station has failed to bear fruit.

The City of Surrey has searched for the last year for a new spot for the building, currently located at 7235 137 St.

The RCMP was looking for better visibility. Challenges included finding a spot with the right kind of access and a place with enough parking.

“After reviewing a number of poten-tial location alternatives, city staff and

the RCMP have been unable, to date, to identify suitable alternative prem-ises that meet the functionality, visibil-ity and parking requirements,” Surrey’s general manager of engineering Fraser Smith writes in a report to council.

As such, Surrey has signed an exten-sion at the current site, with an option to terminate the lease with 180 days notice after June 30, 2016.

Meanwhile, the hunt for a new loca-tion continues.

April began with a bang in Surrey, as gunplay erupted from vehicles in Newton last Wednesday morning.

At about 11:40 a.m. on April 1, police responded to gunfire between two cars at 128 Street and 64 Avenue.

As of 2:20 p.m., there were no reports of injuries from the morning violence.

Police believe the gunfire may have originated from a silver four-door sedan, as it shot rounds at a black Honda sedan.

Both vehicles were heading south on

128 Street and continued on that path after the shooting.

There were no available descriptions of the people in the vehicles.

There were 11 shootings in Surrey last month, with many of those occur-ring in Newton.

Four of the incidents are related, police believe. The rest are believed to be targeted.

Anyone with information is encour-aged to call Surrey RCMP non-emer-gency line at 604-599-0502 or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stop-pers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Bains pleads guilty to three homicides

Earlier weapons charge

Assaultcharge

A Langley man is facing an assault charge after a reported theft last week at a South Surrey grocery store.

According to police, the 45-year-old was arrested March 31 after an employee of the South Point Save-On-Foods was assaulted by a man who was trying to flee the store.

They say injuries were not serious.The same suspect is charged in

connection with a previously unre-ported incident in White Rock on Jan. 22. Police last week would not disclose details of that incident, how-ever, court records show it resulted in four charges: carry/use/threaten to use a weapon; uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm; carry a weapon or prohibited device/ammo concealed; and, possessing weapon for dangerous purpose.

James Francis Murphy appeared in Surrey Provincial Court on Fri-day. He is due back on April 17.

A man accused of killing another man in Surrey in early 2013 and murdering two women in New Westminster later the same year has pleaded guilty.

Sarbjit Bains was facing trial for the death of 29-year-old Amritpal Saran, whose burned body was found beside Colebrook Road north of Highway 99 on Feb. 24, 2013.

Bains was initially charged last year with second-degree murder in the Surrey case, but on Thursday in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster, he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter.

Bains, 33, was also charged and facing trial in connection with the murders of Jill Lyons, who was found dead in an apartment in New Westminster on Aug. 12, 2013 and Karen Nabors, who was found dead in the same building 13 days later. Bains pleaded guilty

to two counts of second-degree murder for the deaths of Lyons, 45, and Nabors, 48.

Bains’ former girlfriend, Evelina Urbaniak, 37, admitted in February to her role after Amritpal’s death, pleading guilty to interfer-ing with a dead body. She received a two-year conditional sentence followed by three years probation.

During her sentencing, the court heard that Bains and Urbaniak had a troubled, abusive relationship and had been together for about two years. Their lives “revolved around drugs,” the judge heard.

According to an agreed statement of facts, on the night of Saran’s death, he had been partying with Bains and Urbaniak. Urbaniak went to bed and later, when Bains found Saran in bed with her, he became enraged.

Urbaniak said she heard the two men fight-ing in another room, but didn’t know what happened until she saw Saran dead.

She and Bains went and bought plastic bins and gasoline and returned to the apartment. They put Saran in the taped-together bins and drove to a secluded portion of Cole-brook Road, dumped Saran’s body, poured gasoline over it and lit it on fire.

Saran’s family submitted victim-impact statements prior to Urbaniak’s sentencing.

“No parent should ever have to endure those circumstances,” wrote Saran’s mother.

Because Bains pleaded guilty prior to the case going to trial, details surrounding the murders of Lyons and Nabors have not been made public.

The women were reportedly both mothers and both worked as online escorts. They were each found in their own suites in the apartment building in the 200-block of 11th Street.

The evidence in Lyons’ death initially pointed to suicide, but after Nabors was found dead, the Integrated Homicide Investi-gation Team was called and women “engaged in a high-risk lifestyle” were warned to take extra precautions.

Bains’ sentencing is scheduled for June 26. Second-degree murder carries an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for between 10 and 25 years. Sentences for manslaughter can vary from probation to life in prison.

Opponents of a proposed new coal-export terminal on the Fraser River in Surrey have lost one legal challenge, but other court battles and regulatory decisions continue to hold up the project.

Fraser Surrey Docks got approval last summer from Port Metro Vancouver to build the $15-mil-lion facility to reload four million tonnes of coal per year from trains rolling through White Rock and South Surrey onto barges, but it has yet to begin construction.

Climate-change activists fighting the project tried to overturn the province’s approval of increased coal storage on Texada Island – where the barges are to be emptied and

ocean-going freighters loaded – but a B.C. Supreme Court judge last week upheld the decision.

Another court case filed by Fra-ser Surrey Docks challenges Metro Vancouver’s jurisdiction over regional air quality on federally regulated port lands.

That case, set to be heard starting in June, resulted from Fraser Surrey Docks’ dispute of a $1,000 ticket it received from Metro for excessive dust emissions from its grain-han-dling operation. It’s expected to be a major test of the region’s authority.

The company has so far held off on applying to Metro for an air-quality permit for the coal facility – it won’t need one if it wins in court.

Fraser Surrey Docks has, how-ever, applied for a Metro permit

to discharge treated waste water used to wash down incoming coal loads through the sewer system to the Annacis Island treatment plant rather than treating the effluent itself and discharging it to the Fraser River. That’s in the midst of a Metro-ordered period for public comment.

Also working its way through the legal system is a challenge of the port’s approval of the project filed in Federal Court by the opposition group Communities and Coal.

Opponents will argue the port authority failed to consider cli-mate-change implications of the project and that it was biased, fail-ing to consult stakeholders.

Anti-coal activist Kevin Wash-brook said that case won’t be heard until the fall at the earliest, but

the cities of Surrey and New West-minster are applying for intervenor status in support of the opposition.

The project would carry U.S. thermal coal from Wyoming for export to Asia but is resisted by neighbours who fear coal dust along the train route, as well as climate-change activists who hope to keep the coal in the ground.

Time is on their side, Washbrook predicts.

“We’re pushing back on every single front possible,” he said. “But I think the thing that’s going to kill this is China.”

Washbrook said demand for imported coal is steadily declining, eroding the economic case for a new outlet for U.S. coal through B.C.

“I think it’s a question of holding them off as long as we can until they realize there’s just no point anymore.”

Fraser Surrey Docks CEO Jeff Scott said no decision has been made to start construction and the earliest the new terminal could be open is mid-2016.

“We still think our project is via-ble,” he said.

Tracking access

Tracy Holmes photoWork to install two pedestrian rail crossings along White Rock’s West Beach between the pier and Bayview Park got underway last week. The at-grade, zigzag crossings – being constructed at a cost of nearly $500,000 – are intended to provide controlled access to the waterfront at Oxford and Anderson streets in time for summer.


Carroll told the crowd his annual White Rock tax bill for his business is $45,000, com-pared to $12,000 for a similar business he owns in Cloverdale. Estimating his annual garbage collection bill will be $26,000 under White Rock’s new private system – and noting his custom-ers have brought in close to $9 million in parking revenue for the city – Carroll said he deserves more respect than what the city has shown.

“I see myself as a partner here,” he said. “You just arbitrarily came out and told us. You didn’t con-sult us, you didn’t ask us. That’s what we want: a little respect.”

Only one speaker – a White Rock property manager – did not express dissatisfaction with the city, however, he was there to seek help educating his tenants on proper waste-disposal methods.

Regarding the lack of public consultation, Baldwin noted there would be an opportunity for council to revisit the issue in a public manner, however, that conversation likely wouldn’t take place at a special April 7 council meeting requested last month by Couns. Helen Fathers and David Chesney, who were both present at Wednesday’s meeting.

“That meeting, I can tell you right now, won’t last for more than a minute-and-a-half, so don’t bother attending,” Baldwin said, later explaining two other

councillors would be on vacation and unable to attend. “There will be a meeting on April 10, that will be a longer meeting with a full discussion of the process. And there might be a change, I don’t know. I can’t speak for what council is going to do.”

Fathers told Peace Arch News Thursday that she is happy to have all council members in attendance at the meeting, but that “time is of the essence” in addressing what she described as a “mess.”

“I know that everyone is upset and we need to find some solu-tions really quick,” she said. “We have done a terrible job of communicating this. We need to have a lot more respect, and I don’t think that was conveyed last night.”

Another area of concern brought up was the increased garbage-truck traffic in the city – something St. Louis acknowl-

edged in his presentation as a “challenge” the city will face under the new system.

“What do you think it’s going to look like in White Rock when we have so many different com-panies picking up garbage?” resident Linda Coulter asked. “Every day there will be differ-ent people’s garbage cans out on the street. Being able to walk in our walkable city is going to be much more difficult. Is that your image for what you want our city to look like?”

Towards the end of the two-hour meeting, resident Susan Watkins appealed for the mayor, council and city staff to seize the opportunity to focus on a work-able solution.

“Everybody in this room could be spending a lot more time and energy with the leadership of White Rock figuring out what to do with our garbage,” Watkins said. “We need your leadership.”

Baldwin said he could not comment on Nel-son’s assertion that no one from his city has responded to APFA’s communications to date.

Nelson said the White Rock man who initially reported the raccoon called Thursday to say it is no longer trapped.

“It sounds like she is eating and doing well, but with two legs at this point,” Nelson said, not-ing APFA is working with Langley-based Crit-ter Care Wildlife Society to locate the raccoon.

Nelson described response to the petition as “pretty average.”

“Something like this unfortunately touches people quite tragically. It’s unfortunate that it takes something like this to get that reaction.”

Meanwhile, the city’s director of planning said traps are not believed to be behind discover-ies of dead waterfowl on White Rock streets.

Karen Cooper told PAN the city’s animal-control services picked up two dead ducks near Maccaud Park in late March and a dead Can-ada goose on Fir Street last Thursday.

Drug-impaired drivers who roam the roads mostly undetected are a top traf-fic-safety priority for B.C. police chiefs.

Their association wants the federal government to approve a roadside test-ing device that would make it easier for officers to arrest stoned and otherwise drugged drivers.

“Whether it’s marijuana or prescription drugs, there are people that are driving high and for a large part it goes undetected because we don’t have a really good tester and we don’t have many drug rec-ognition experts,” said Tran-sit Police Chief Neil Dubord, who chairs the traffic com-mittee of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police.

Officers can arrest and usu-ally issue a 24-hour suspension to a driver who is seriously drug-impaired.

But in less obvious cases, police have little recourse unless an officer is avail-able who is highly trained in observing the signs of drug use.

There’s no device akin to a breatha-lyzer now in use in Canada to measure levels of cannabis or other drugs.

But Dubord said there are “amazing” mobile testing systems available in the U.S. that can detect 27 different drugs from a saliva swab.

He said federal approval of a roadside device is probably a couple of years away. But he said it could allow not just criminal-impairment charges but potentially the addition of drug use

to B.C.’s system of automatic roadside suspensions and impoundments for drunk driving.

“With the proper tool, we may be able to get there as well,” Dubord said, adding accuracy of the testing technol-ogy would have to be assured.

The most recent study by researchers, published by the B.C. Medical Journal, found 5.4 per cent of drivers randomly checked in roadside surveys in 2012 had cannabis in their systems, followed by 4.1 per cent with cocaine and 1.7 per cent with amphetamines.

Separate testing of drivers hospitalized with trauma inju-ries following crashes found 12.6 per cent were positive for cannabis, with 7.3 per cent showing recent use.

“Cannabis slows reaction times, causes weaving, creates diffi-culty maintaining a constant speed, and predisposes to distraction,” Dr. Jeff Brubacher wrote this month in the BCMJ.

Brubacher said research so far sug-gests acute cannabis use roughly dou-bles the risk of crashing.

The ongoing debate over potential marijuana reform in Canada is also a factor driving the police chiefs’ agenda.

“If there’s decriminalization or legal-ization or whatever ends up happen-ing, we want to make sure we have the tools as well to be able to manage that successfully,” Dubord said. “Because at the end of the day we want people on the roads to be safe.”

A report issued by Vancity Credit Union last week is deeply disturbing.

The report says that, if there is no significant downturn in the Lower Mainland housing market, Langley will be the only community in Metro Vancouver that will be affordable for most home buyers 15 years from now.

The report states the average price for housing in Vancouver at that time will be more than $2 million. This is completely unaffordable for most people.

Prices in surrounding communities will also rise accordingly, and even today, Vancity says housing remains affordable in only five communities – Langley City, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Port Coquitlam and New Westminster.

Do we want this area to be a place where people can only afford to rent? Given that rents are rising as well, even that may not be an option for some people.

There is no question that housing prices have continued to rise due to steady demand. The demand has continued in large part due to record-low interest rates. While it is likely they will stay low for at least as long as the Canadian economy faces challenges, sooner or later they will rise.

Housing prices in Vancouver, the North Shore and Richmond have also been heavily influenced by foreign buyers, who pay high prices in desirable areas, often for homes they will never live in.

While there is nothing wrong with foreign investment, the continued blind eye to this activity by all levels of government is wrong-headed.

At the very least, non-resident buyers should be paying higher property-purchase tax rates, and should also pay higher property taxes – as is the case in some American jurisdictions. This would give the provincial and municipal governments more revenue and perhaps serve as a slight deterrent.

Ads from the “yes”side in the transit plebiscite say one million more people are coming here. Where will they live and how will they afford it?

Keeping housing affordable should be a priority for all levels of government.

Affordable housing should be priority

Published at South Surrey by Black Press Ltd.

VICTORIA – The labour situation in B.C. is showing increased signs of strain, even before a long-

promised boom in heavy construction gets set to ramp up this summer.

Jobs Minister Shirley Bond announced last week that B.C. is suspending its “provincial nomination” program for 90 days. This program allows the province to recommend people for federal immigration, based on skills in demand in B.C.

The B.C. provincial nomination program saw its number of applications triple to 1,200 for the month of December, as the federal government cracked down on the temporary foreign worker program. Thousands of temporary foreign workers who have hit the four-year deadline are being sent home, with many of them turning to the provincial nomination track.

Bond has been pleading with Ottawa to raise B.C.’s annual provincial nomination quota from 5,000 to 7,000 or more. The three-month pause is so her ministry can add staff and speed up processing time. Backlogged applicants will still be considered, and exemptions for health care workers and a northeast pilot

program are being maintained.Even with the current slump in energy

prices and before anticipated pipeline and liquefied natural gas projects start,

the labour shortage in the northeast is near crisis.

The last time I was in Dawson Creek, radio ads were offering signing bonuses for qualified truck drivers. In Fort St. John, grocery and hardware retailers have come to depend on foreign workers to keep going.

While supposedly educated young people work part-time and refuse to leave the comforts of southern city life, this is the reality up north, and it’s only going to get worse.

This summer, work is scheduled to start on the Site C dam on the Peace River, the most costly construction project in B.C. history. And a union vs. non-union battle reminiscent of the old Expo 86 labour wars is underway.

The B.C. and Yukon Building Trades (BCYT) are demanding a project agreement that requires all workers on Site C to be paid their rates, and are warning of chaos on the huge project if they don’t get their way.

BC Hydro CEO Jessica McDonald told

me that’s not all they want. They are also seeking quotas for members of their unions on a project that will be a small city of 1,700 people at peak construction.

BCYT executive director Tom Sigurdson says that while all sides acknowledge the need for foreign workers for Site C, he wants to control that too, working with their affiliated unions in the United States.

There will be non-union construction firms, some of them owned by aboriginal communities in the north. There will be contractors affiliated with the Christian Labour Association of Canada. The BCYT hopes to set wages and conditions for them all, and influence Ottawa’s temporary foreign worker program to boot.

McDonald and Premier Christy Clark have politely told them to pound sand. Their formula would add millions in costs to the project, driving up BC Hydro rates even more than they are already rising. BC Hydro has already done dam upgrade projects using a “managed open site” model and it’s not inclined to return to the era of W.A.C. Bennett as Sigurdson demands.

Sigurdson makes a valid point that when two concrete masons compare paycheques on the Site C project and one sees he’s making $5 an hour less, he won’t be happy. He will want the higher rate, and the BCYT is taking BC Hydro to court to ensure they can recruit new members on the site.

It looks like a hot summer ahead.Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and

quote of note

lettersPeace Arch NewsPeace Arch News

Compromise on good serviceEditor:

The mailbox at the end of our very short street has been “compromised.” That is a euphemism for being broken into.

Now, I’m so old that I recall when people used to deliver mail to our house. They were called postmen or postwomen, and they would put mail through an aperture in the door that was called a letterbox.

It was a very secure system that was never “compromised.” And the postman was invariably cheerful.

In the time that it takes for a postal worker to fill our community box, he or she could actually deliver mail to our house, but it seems that such a service is now frowned upon by Canada Post, which seems to be aiming at having the worst service at the least cost. And they are succeeding.Peter Ferris, Surrey

Reluctantly getting to ‘no’Editor:

I am sorry.I understand and appreciate

with what environmentalist David Suzuki and his foundation’s members point to regarding TransLink; and I am so grateful to the citizens who support his view.

I appreciate – and agree – with the voice of our youth who ask that the older generations consider the present circumstances and future needs of a growing population.

I want to say ‘yes’ in the transit plebescite; the benefit to the environment and societal needs is, for me, my guiding principle to responsible action.

But – with great apologies to all individuals dependent upon TransLink – I will be declaring a ‘no’. Enough is enough. Being asked to trust that which has proven itself to be distrustful makes my spine shiver.

TransLink’s upper-management created this mistrust with mismanagement of funds at every level of responsibility. And to find myself in a position to be accountable to my friends and neighbours in a manner that has been denied by TransLink and B.C. community leaders leaves me speechless.

So, to each person dependent upon our public transit, I am sorry for any inconvenience you may experience. I just cannot in good faith entrust another momentary benefit to TransLink. Until an honest restructure of revenue and assets are administered, and an actual referendum is presented, I will then vote ‘yes’. Charon Hunniford, White Rock

I rely on TransLink for my commute and voted ‘no’ on the Transit Referendum. Why?

Proponents of this initiative ask rhetorically, “How does Metro Vancouver grow by one million and still remain livable?”

The answer is it doesn’t, whether this proposition passes or not.

Missing from either side of the debate is any serious discussion about the root cause of our region’s congestion problem: unfettered development. Even if the referendum passes, it represents a zero-sum game whereby transit improvements struggle to keep pace with growth. Commute times will, at best, remain the same.

We’re already putting the brakes on our buses and cars. We need to put the brakes on development, too. Address the underlying problem first, then let’s talk about transit. Vote ‘no’.Anthony Manning, White Rock

High time to give it a restEditor:

Sunday night, I was once again awoken all night every hour on the hour by those loud train horns, and I live uptown White Rock so can only imagine the sound radiating in the downtown core.

Perhaps the conductors of these trains did not get the message from their superiors that the horns are only to be blasted at night in emergency cases only, so the rest of us can get our rest.

Or perhaps they just like to hear the sounds of their own horns?

Whatever the case may be, I think it’s high time that we as a community started reporting these

conductors to our own superiors by writing the dates and times down that these blasts constantly occur since we are awoken anyway by their stupidity, and only then we can start to put a name to the offence until they get the message to tone it down so the rest of us can get our rest!Cheryl Berti, White Rock

Conflicting regulationsEditor:Re: Left-lane laws not necessary, March 19 editorial.

Regarding the ‘road hogs’ as they call them, who hold up traffic in the left lane, I understand that the police are going to crack down on people who continue to be road hogs.

This is quite humorous.I would really like to understand

how a driver driving at the speed limit in the left lane of a freeway could be classified as a road hog.

If the speed limit is 100 km/h and the driver is doing just that, why should the driver have to move because someone coming up behind them is obviously speeding? The speed limit is the speed limit, so anyone exceeding the speed limit should be given a ticket, while anyone driving the speed limit in no matter what lane should be left alone.

I say this with a touch of humour, of course, because I find myself coming up on drivers who do hold

up traffic and drive me crazy. Why? Because they’re doing the speed limit.

I, like most drivers on the freeway, speed and don’t like to be held up by someone in the left lane if they are traveling slower than I am. Speed limit on the freeway is 100 km/h and I see that most drivers, including me, are probably driving closer to 110-120 km/h. This is probably the correct speed for the freeway, but it is not posted. I hope slower drivers will move over when they see a car coming up behind them.

It would be interesting to be given a ticket for holding up traffic when you are doing the speed limit. This is another brilliant piece of legislation presented by our government. Aren’t there more important decisions to be made?Roger Currie, Surrey

Won’t get far covering faceEditor:

Throughout this whole fiasco of people covering their faces while expecting to become Canadian, the opposition has not mentioned passports.

I would love to see U.S. border security being handed a passport with a face covered. They even require sunglasses be removed.

To the NDP and Liberals, stay with us on this matter or you will lose votes.Steve McKeever, White Rock

Melissa Smalley photoResident Ian Routledge addresses a March 23 rally at city hall protesting planned changes to solid-waste pickup.

Open letter to White Rock mayor and council.Re: City leaders stand firm on trash plan, April 2.

I am confused. Perhaps you could clarify this for me. Your city clerk advised me in email that the decision regarding “garbage collection was made December 15, 2014 in a closed meeting of council in accordance with the Community Charter Section 90(1)(k).”

Clause ‘k’ in the charter is limited to be used as an exception only to matters that are at their “preliminary” stages. Ignore the fact that the proclamation by the city is to cease the service – not provide the service – and that your own CAO has not been able to identify what harm might come to the city by opening the meeting to the public, but just focus on the first clause of qualification, that the provisions be “in their preliminary stages.”

In the April 2 edition of Peace Arch News, Mayor Wayne Baldwin is quoted as saying this about the secret, closed meeting in December: “The only thing that happened at that in-camera meeting was to decide to go ahead.”

In my mind there is absolutely nothing “preliminary” about making the final decision for the termination of a decades old core municipal service to the 11,000 residents of White Rock who live in stratas.

I wonder, could this be a violation of the Community Charter? Is this exactly the kind of illegal secret, closed meeting that the Community Charter intends to eliminate in order to achieve the goals of public process, public participation and open government?Ross Buchanan, White Rock

Just 4.1 per cent of ballots in Metro Vancouver’s transporta-tion and transit plebiscite were mailed back to Elections BC by the end of March.

And of the 63,663 ballots received as of April 1, 54,437 are from Vancouver and the other 9,226 are from Surrey.

Elections BC has mailed out more than 1.5 million ballots.

Spokesman Don Main said ballots were sent out to homes in Vancouver and Surrey first because it was determined that would be most cost-effective.

‘No’ campaign spokesman Jor-dan Bateman said he’s not read-ing anything into the initial count of ballots, because there wasn’t enough time for ballots to be

received, marked, sent back and counted in most of the region.

He predicted the numbers to be provided weekly by Elections BC won’t be meaningful until at least late April.

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

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

Residents can request transit-referendum packages until May 15

Some producers are raising prices slightly and others are offering short-term discounts, as B.C.’s new liquor price wholesale model took effect last week.

Pre-tax retail price changes at B. C. government stores show little change for the the most popular brands of beer, hard liquor and other alcoholic beverages.

Government store shoppers now see lower prices on the shelves, because as of April 1, government stores add provin-cial and federal sales tax at the cash register.

Of the top 10 brands of spirits, a 750-ml bottle of Crown Royal whiskey retails for $23.49 – a two-cent increase – plus taxes. For the larger bottle of Crown Royal, government stores are reducing the price by $1.98 for the month of April.

A six-pack of Lonetree cider goes up 90 cents to $9.59 after a March discount. For larger cans of imported Strongbow cider, an April sale price is reduced $1.14 to $17.99.

For private retailers – as Peace Arch News reported Thursday – Save-on-Foods store in South Surrey was the first to take advan-tage of new regulations allowing sale of B.C. wines directly from grocery shelves. Supermarkets

now have the option of includ-ing a liquor store with separate checkout for alcohol purchases.

The government-store retail price used to be the benchmark for B.C. sales, with discounts off that price to private retailers. Now all pay the same wholesale price to the Liquor Distribution Branch, which retains its whole-sale monopoly.

The LDB wholesale markup is now 124 per cent of the supplier price for hard liquor, 73 per cent for coolers and ciders, 89 per

cent for wine and a per-litre tax with ascending rates for small, medium and large breweries.

Justice Minister Suzanne Anton says the system is designed to create a level playing field for retailers, while maintaining the government’s revenue of $1 bil-lion a year from the wholesale markup.

Many government liquor stores have added refrigerators and Sunday opening hours, to make up for the loss of their wholesale discount over private stores.

Peninsula transit users can once again pay by coin for parking at the South Surrey Park & Ride.

TransLink spokesman Chris Bryan confirmed Tuesday that the lot’s one coin-accepting meter was back in operation last Thursday.

Peace Arch News reported earlier last week that users of the lot had been frustrated to discover that all four pay-parking meters were only

accepting credit-card payment.Investigation determined that

vandalism on March 17 had taken the coin-accepting meter out of commission.

“Someone drilled into the coin slot,” Bryan told PAN last week.

Coincidentally, lot operator Impark had recently limited the number of machines there that accept cash in an effort to curb the

incidence of vandalism and theft.Bryan said commuters who left

vehicles at the lot without paying for parking due to only having coins were not penalized in the days prior to the machine’s repair.

“For the sake of people coming and going who only had coins, (Impark) called off enforcement,” Bryan said.

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Lauren CollinsBlack Press

Driving down 184 Street near 42 Avenue, there are plenty of farms, however, one Surrey backyard

boasts a 3,000-sq.-ft. biodome.Tom Colclough has been working on the

lightweight structure for four years and describes it as a “one-man building.”

“I built this thing. I did the riveting, the welding, the concrete pouring, even the excavation. I did everything to it.”

Inside Colclough’s biodome is a crop of 6,000 strawberry plants stacked five tiers high, growing in a soil-less environment and fed hydroponically.

Proponents say the working prototype “aims to solve the world’s food shortage, as it is a closed system that can be placed anywhere, even on top of buildings.”

Since it’s a closed system, the biodome uses 10 times less water than conventional farming, utilizing rainwater and reverse osmosis of well water.

“We use a lot less water. I only feed these babies twice a day,” Colclough said.

He said he’d eventually like to grow food of ethnic varieties, but he chose strawberries because the results are almost immediate.

Colclough said innovative agriculture has been a longtime interest.

“What made me want to do it was nutrition,” Colclough said. “These are issues that are important to me: food security and nutrition, but also where your food is

coming from.”Colclough was a nurse with the National

Health Service in the United Kingdom in his 20s. He also spent many years working in the health-care industry in Africa.

Now, 40 years later, Colclough hopes the biodome will address the planet’s growing need for food.

“We actually want to grow food in hostile places… or places where they haven’t got the resources.”

Tom Baumann, a University of the Fraser Valley agricultural technology professor, said by the end of 2050, the planet will have to feed nine billion people.

“With this model of vertical gardening, you can have five times the output on the same footprint of land.”

The biodome was made for Eco Energy Tech Canada (EcoTech), and the company envisions the domes

being used by schools, hospitals, food aid programs, commercial growers and governments.

The biodome is the first of it’s kind in Canada to be built with thin layers of thermoplastic Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE). The layers are welded together and filled with air to create soft pillows.

ETFE is extremely strong and can withstand the elements while remaining stable.

The material is 0.2 per cent the weight of glass, has more flexibility and can be built higher.

Because of the dome’s lightweight

material, it can be built on top of buildings in urban centres.

Colclough said research involved with the prototype will help design an even better, stronger model.

“We need to know how to improve it, so when we go to the commercial side we’re a step ahead of the game.”

Colclough said his biodome is the prototype, but the intention is to build future ETFE biodomes as big as 300,000 square feet.

EcoTech plans to publicly sell shares on various international stock exchanges. It also plans to market a larger model, most likely in China.

Evan Seal photo Tom Colclough explains his method of growing food – currently a crop of 6,000 strawberry plants – in his 3,000-sq.-ft. biodome that he built on his Surrey property.

Aging wellThe Ocean

Park Community Association is set to hold a TED-talk inspired presentation on the topic of successful aging.

The presenter at the event will be Art Pouchet, an integrational counsellor at Ocean Park Natural Therapy Clinic.

The event is set for April 15, 8 p.m. at Ocean Park Hall (1577 128 St.), with doors open at 7:45 p.m.

Pouchet will “provide a lively presentation in the form that he calls experiential learning,” a news release states.

“The physical, mental and emotional process called aging requires continual adaptation… the information coming out of the field of neuroscience can help you can new strategies for creating optimum wellness at every stage of the aging process,” Pouchet said.

“Through a simple understanding of the nervous system… we can begin to make changes that allow for increased energy in the brain and body… developing an increased joy and zest for life.”

The intent of the event is to provide those in attendance with new skills that can be applied to their own lives.

Tickets are $10 at the door, and as seating is limited, pre-registration is

required by emailing [email protected] or by calling 604-536-5969.

Author to speakAuthor Madeline

Levine is to offer parenting advice at Southridge School (2656 160 St.) in South Surrey this month.

April 17, Levine is set to speak “on raising independent,

productive children while being a more relaxed and connected parent.”

According to a news release, Levine is a psychologist with close to three decades of experience as a clinician, consultant and teacher. She authored The Price of Privilege, which explores the rates of emotional problems in teenagers from affluent families. Her latest

book, Teach Your Children Well, tackles the impact on kids of the current narrow definition of success.

Levine is also a co-founder of Challenge Success, a project at Stanford’s

Graduate School of Education, and has taught child development classes to graduate students at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center.

Tickets to the April 17 event are $10. To purchase, or for more information, visit www.southridge.bc.ca, call 604-542-5392 or email [email protected]

A consortium of local churches is behind the fifth annual Community Builders series.

Each Wednesday for four weeks, starting April 8 at 7 p.m., four free programs will run simultaneously: Climate Change Changes Me, Spiri-tual Practices, Story Time and Card Making.

Kathy Booth of First United Church told Peace Arch News by email that the variety offered in the Community Builders series as a whole is aimed at ensuring there is “something of interest to everyone.”

The Climate Change Changes

Me program will present “practical, hopeful” informa-tion about climate change and how it is changing the way people do things around the world and in White Rock.

“Most importantly, this workshop will provide options for finding our democratic voice and creating change in ourselves and our communi-ties,” a news release states.

The four climate sessions will focus on causes and energy (April 8), transportation (April 15), food (Earth Day, April 22) and ‘finding our democratic voice’ (April 29).

“Many people are interested

in learning more about this topic and the practical changes they can make,” Booth told PAN, noting it is not a “reli-gious” program.

Spiritual Practices, led by Karen Botsford and Rev. Lou-ise Cumings, is an opportunity to “spend some intentional time with God.”

Story Time, led by psycholo-gist and Master of Divinity candidate Wes Buch, will fea-ture gospel stories, new stories “and Your Story.”

“We will look for inspiration and resources for our own sto-ries from the gospels and from newer stories that compel a

plot twist,” the release states.The Card Making program

is touted as an opportunity to create and relax. Led by Andrea Soong and Val Thorner, par-ticipants will learn about mak-ing homemade cards.

All sessions will be held at First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave. To reserve a spot, email [email protected]

Community Builders is being offered in partnership with Peninsula United Churches, Beacon Unitarian Church and South Fraser Unitarian Con-gregation.

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

may be at an increased risk for developing

dementia, a loss of brain function that can

affect memory, thinking, language, judgment

conducted by researchers from the Division of

Otology at Johns Hopkins University School

of Medicine.

The study included 639 people whose

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

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

The article concludes that, whatever the

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

improving patients’ hearing.

lifestylesCity seeks park ideas

An open house to share information and collect ideas for two new parks in South Surrey’s Grandview Heights neighbourhood is set for 6-8 p.m. on April 13.

Wills Brook Park, at 2955 160 St., was acquired during the subdivision and devel-opment of lands to its west.

Described as primar-ily a riparian area that protects Wills Brook as it flows north to the Nicomekl River, it fea-tures an area of open grass where an off-leash dog park is planned.

Mountain View Park, at 15901 Mountain View Dr., is a small neighbourhood park with walking paths, situated next to a pond, with development to the west and south.

City of Surrey officials are looking for ideas for both sites.

The open house is to be held at Sunnyside Elementary, 2828 159 St. For more informa-tion, email [email protected] or call 604-501-5050.

Nick GreenizanStaff Reporter

While most golf courses in Surrey – and throughout the rest of the Lower Mainland – have been open for months, many golfers are just now pulling their clubs out of the garage and cleaning last season’s dirt off their golf shoes.

And while some golfers will choose to jump right into their first rounds of the spring, others will take time to warm up both their equipment and their skills before teeing off.

A little extra preparation can go a long way, after all.

For starters, in order to get back into the swing of things, it’s never a bad idea to head to the driving range to hit a few buckets of balls. And if you feel like your game still needs a bit more work to shake off the rust, consult the golf pros at your favourite course for help.

“It’s always good to take a tuneup lesson (early in the season),” said Hazelmere Golf Course pro Mike White, adding that the PGA Tour’s Masters Tournament, which begins Thursday, is often the catalyst to get fans of the game back on the

course.It tends to take the average

golfer about a month of consistent play to get into game shape, he added.

“Short game is the toughest thing to get back. Your long game, driving the ball, that’s easier to do, but short game is all about finesse, and touch, so it can be difficult,” White said.

When it comes to your clubs, it’s important to make sure your grips are in good condition. The older – or more used – your set of clubs, the more likely they are to have worn out or

cracked grips. “If you’ve had your clubs

for awhile, it might be time to get your grips replaced,” White said.

When it comes to grips, there’s a wide variety of sizes, textures and materials available – something to suit every golfer, whether one needs better grip in rainy conditions, or is looking for a softer feel or hand-vibration dampening.

Once you’ve got your game and your clubs in tip-top shape, all that’s left to do is stock up on balls and tees and head to the course.

Preparation is key to successful year on the golf course

Swing into the season

An e-portfolio program in Surrey that supplements traditional report cards by recording and sharing student learning with parents daily has been chosen the winner of a $50,000 award.

The Surrey School District’s Making Learning Visible initiative was one of 28 entries shortlisted for the Cmolik Prize for Enhancement of Public Education in B.C., and

among three shortlisted for the prize. The winner was announced April 2.

The Surrey program invites teachers to capture student learning by taking digital photos, video and notes as opportunities arise, filing them in a student’s e-portfolio, which can then be shared in real time with parents. The system allows parents to monitor and support (with teachers) their child’s progress, without having to wait for

a report card or for school work to arrive home. It also helps students take charge of their learning.

Robyn Thiessen, the winning entry’s co-author and a teacher at Green Timbers Elementary, was among eight Surrey educators who began exploring the concept of e-portfolios three years ago using the online tool FreshGrade.

The online reporting system has now been implemented in several kindergarten to Grade 9 classes

at 35 Surrey public schools. The district says there continues to be great demand by teachers to participate in the program, as well as interest expressed from educators nationally and internationally.

“The use of a digital portfolio fosters student engagement in learning by allowing students to choose evidence and artifacts that illustrate their personal growth. Students then create actions plans to improve their growth,” explains

Thiessen. The Cmolik Prize, recognizing

innovative educational practices in kindergarten to Grade 12, is awarded through Simon Fraser University’s Faculty of Education.

The other co-authors of the Surrey entry were Supt. of Schools Jordan Tinney, Director of Instruction Elisa Carlson, Dan Turner, director, information management services and Antonio Vendramin, principal at Cambridge Elementary.

The Surrey All-Star Classic will be the final game for 39 high school basketball players in Surrey.

The annual event will feature 19 girls playing at 6 p.m. Friday (April 10) at Enver Creek Secondary, with 20 boys taking to the court for their game at 7 p.m. All players are in Grade 12.

The girls’ game will feature seven award-winners from the Surrey Fire Fighters Classic all-Surrey tournament in January.

Point guard Cyrille Butac of the Fleetwood Park Dragons was the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the tournament in the Axe Division, while Jessica Miller-Ulmer was the MVP in the Ladder Division.

Also playing Friday and Enver Creek are Fire Fighters Dream Team members Simran Grewal of the Dragons, Ayan Deng of the Guildford Park Sabres, Katie Punia of the Southridge Storm and Devi Brauckman of the Elgin Park Orcas.

Nicole Vander Helm of the Holy Cross Crusaders will also be playing. The guard was a second-team all-star at the Senior AA provincial championships last month.

The girls game will also feature Claire Eccles, winner of the three-point shooting contest at the Fire Fighters tournament.

Other players invited are Nichole Boufford (Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers), Sairah Mohammed (Panorama Ridge Thunder), Jaiya Rai (Tamanawis Wildcats) Jordyn Doi (Fleetwood Park Dragons), Grace Zacharuk (Frank Hurt Hornets), Claire Neibuhr (Earl Marriott Mariners), Lisa Tabor (Elgin Park Orcas), Rebecca Waithe (Holy Cross Crusaders), Victoria Frienhofer (North Surrey Spartans), and Alanna Carmicheal and Danielle Martyniuk (Enver Creek Cougars).

The boys’ game will feature six all-stars from the Surrey RCMP Classic tournament in January. Patrick Dujmovic of the Semiahmoo Totems and Sam Chan of the Southridge Storm were first-team selections, while Armaan Khangura of the Fleetwood Park Dragons and Jas Sidhu of the Enver Creek Cougars were

Pair make grade after Team BC trials

Gymnasts qualify for WesternsRick KupchukSports Reporter

Two members of the Surrey Gymnastics Society have qualified for the Western Canadian Championships in Okotoks, Alberta next month.

Treyson Cerrato and Emanuel Gutierrez Sandoval qualified at the Twisters Gymnastics Invitational Competition last weekend, an event which doubled as a Team BC trial event.

Gutierrez Sandoval, 11, earned an all-around silver medal in the Elite 3 category. He placed second on the pommel horse, rings and vault, and was third on floor, parallel bars and high bar.

Cerrato, 13, also won an all-around silver medal. He won gold medals on rings, parallel bars and high bar, and was third on pommel horse and fifth on floor.

Both will travel with SGS coach John Carroll, who was named as one of the Team BC coaches.

Three other SGS gymnasts fared well at the Twisters event. Brady Reeleder, 11, won the all-around gold medal in the Provincial 2 (10-and-under) category, after winning gold on vault, silver on floor, pommel horse and parallel bars and placing fourth on high bar.

Competing in the same category, Reggie Quintana, 10, won gold on floor and placed fifth all-around.

Timofey Azhogin was third on rings and vault, and fourth on floor and pommel horse in the Provincial 3 (under-13) group.

In girls competition, top-five scores were earned by Alanna Jones, 21, in Provincial 5 Open (fifth on vault), Emily Carroll, 17, in Junior Olympic Level 8 (fifth on beam), Maria Bashko, 11, in Junior Olympic Level 7 (third on beam), and Alexa Cannon, 12, also in Junior Olympic Level 7 (fifth on bars). see page 23

The Tour de White Rock cycling weekend may still be a few months away, but online registration for it and other events on the BC Superweek calendar is already accepting riders.

“With the growth of BC Superweek as one of North America’s most recognized professional road-race series, the interest from teams and riders to register as soon as possible has also grown,” said Superweek race director Mark Ernstring.

“As a result, we decided to open registration earlier this year than in the past.”

This year, the Tour de White Rock is set for July 17-18, with the popular criterium set for uptown White Rock on the first day (Friday), while the longer road race will be the next morning, with the start/finish line on Marine Drive.

For the first time, this year’s event – normally a three-day affair – will not include the hill climb, which was axed from the schedule for 2015.

This year, BC Superweek features, in total, six criteriums and two road races. More than $70,000 in cash – plus thousands more in crowd primes – is on the line in the six criterium races.

In addition to the Tour de White Rock, other Superweek events include the Tour de Delta, UBC Grand Prix, Global Relay Gastown Grand Prix – which will likely be the busiest event of the bunch, with 20,000 fans expected – and the Giro di Burnaby.

The men’s races are open to pro 1/2 rider, while the women’s races are open to those in pro 1/2/3 categories.

“BC Superweek has always been one of my favourite events,” said veteran cyclist Anika Todd. “The racing is incredible. Challenging courses, top-notch competition and big crowds make (it) a really special experience.”’

Last year, the Tour de White Rock’s road race – which was held in scorching 30-degree heat – was won by Meghan Rathwell, on the 80-km women’s course, and Matteo Dal-Cin, who placed first

in the 134-km men’s circuit.

Brandon Etzl was the men’s winner of the now-defunct hill climb, while Allison Jackson won both the women’s hill climb and criterium race. She was seventh

in the road race, and captured the overall omnium title. Florenz Knauer was the men’s omnium winner.

Ultherapy delivers low levels of focused heat to just the right depth below the skin to target the deep tissues. The surface of the skin remains undisturbed but the controlled injury to the deeper layers triggers a healing response in the skin. The skin contracts and tightens immediately and, like other skin tightening procedures, Ultherapy simulates the growth of new collagen, but DEEPER than ever before!

A smooth applicator (placed on the skin) projects an im-age onto the screen that allows us to see and plan where to direct the energy. We deliver energy to two depths during a single treatment. One pass penetrates 3 mm in depth which is as deep as you can go and still be in the dermis. Another pass over the treatment area penetrates 4.5 mm into the superfi cial muscular apo-neurotic system (the SMAS layer).

The SMAS is the layer of muscles targeted during surgical forehead, face and neck lifts. An Ultherapy™ treatment is non-surgical and cannot deliver the results of a surgical facelift. For people who are not ready for a facelift or just don’t want to have surgery, however, it is a non-invasive alternative that requires just a single treatment. Ultherapy can also be used to further enhance results of a surgical facelift.

Your body's response to this energy is to recondi-tion tired skin by stimulating the growth of fresh, new collagen. The result is a tightening and gradual lifting—or

shifting—of the skin back into a more youthful position and form-fi tting shape. Unlike lasers, which penetrate the skin from the outside-in, the Ultherapy®procedure bypasses the surface of the skin, specifi cally targeting the deep, structural skin tissues where collagen lives. Using ultrasound technology, Ultherapy actually works from the inside-out to lift and tighten skin non-invasively.

Surrey Art Gallery presents

April 11 – June 14, 2015


Jessica Anderegg and Thomas Rose were named Athletes of the Year by the Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) athletic depart-ment.

The KPU Eagles cel-ebrated its 14th season of PACWEST (Pacific Western Athletic Con-ference) competition with its annual awards night last week at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel, nam-ing Surrey residents Anderegg and Rose as recipients of the President’s Outstanding Athlete Awards.

Anderegg, a defender with the KPU women’s soccer team, completed her third season of PACWEST competition by helping the Eagles qualify for the provin-cial championships while being selected a first-team all-star.

Rose was also an all-star while placing fifth in the PACWEST, qual-

ifying of the national championships.

Both athletes were also named the Most Valuable Players (MVP) of their respec-tive teams. Other MVP award winners included Bradley Low (men’s badminton), Veronica Young (women’s bad-minton), Matt Cooley of North Delta (men’s

basketball), Shilpa Khanna of Surrey (women’s basketball), and Nawaf Binsaleh (men’s soccer).

The women’s bas-ketball squad was the KPU Team Award for the highest grade point average (GPA) at 3.01 in the fall semester.

A pair of basketball players each won a Charter Bus Lines Var-sity Athletic Academic Award for the highest GPA in their first year at KPU. Amelia Worrell had the highest GPA among female athletes, while Nick Smith was tops among the males.

Smith, a first-year forward with a GPA better than 3.67, also received the Shew-felt Family Endowed Award for Athletics for demonstrating leader-ship on the court and in the classroom.

Third-year midfielder Rachel Gledstone of Surrey was presented

with the Mary & Pius McEachern Memorial Award, which goes to a member of the KPU Eagles women’s soc-cer team for “loyalty,

persistence, and hard work.”

The Patrick Dooley Memorial Award, in memory of the 16-year-old high school basket-

ball player who passed away suddenly in 2008, went to North Delta’s Spencer Maichin.

The award is pre-sented to a returning

player on the men’s basketball team who demonstrates leader-ship on and off the court.

August 9, 1940-March 21, 2015

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Mace Vandenakker. Af-ter a valiant battle with cancer, he is survived and lovingly re-membered by his wife Elsbeth, his daughter Liane, his son Keith (Charlene), grandchildren,great grandchildren, niecesand nephews.

He was born in the Netherlandsand immigrated to Canada withhis parents at a young age. Af-ter graduating from High Schoolhe apprenticed to become an Electrician, a profession he loved and was successful at. Later on he started his own company, Vantech Electrical inSouth Surrey and enjoyed oper-ating it until he retired in 2007.

He was a wonderful person andwas loved by family & friends. We will remember him for his sunny personality and humour and will miss him deeply.

We thank the doctors & nurses at the Peace Arch Hospital for their care, the home care nurseswho visited our home, and to Dr Joshi for his compassion. All was greatly appreciated.

At his request, there will be no service. Family and friends will gather for a remembrance, to be announced at a later date.

7 OBITUARIES

PACHECO, Terri(nee Nixon)

August 3,1964 - April 2, 2015Heaven has gained such a beautiful angel in Terri (Teresa Lynn). As she plays her heavenly harp, Terri is watch-ing over the love of her life, George, and her beautifully amazing children Jamie, Braydon and Ryan, all of whom she has always been so proud of.In the afterlife she joins her father Bunny (Bernard) and her grandparents Genevieve and Trigvi Gudmundson and Margaret and Robert Nixon. Left waiting on earth is Terri’s mother Dianne Yusko, sisters Laurie (Patrick) Darcus and Brandi Nixon (Kevin Fulton), and brothers Dan (Keeley) and Darryl Nixon. All miss her deeply and look forward to the day they will be with Terri again.Born in Fort William (now Thunder Bay), Ontario, Terri moved to Pitt Meadows in 1973. She excelled in sports and academics through elementary and high school, and achieved top academic honors at BCIT. After graduat-ing BCIT in 1989 Terri spent the next 26 years working in Medical Records at various locations for Coastal Health.Once her children came along she moved to South Surrey. Terri became the mom who helped organize all the fund-raisers and volunteered every time the opportunity presented itself. She was such a selfl ess giving person who always made people she encountered feel special.Terri loved her walks along the beach, and we will remember her in every sunset - so bright and beautiful.There will be a Catholic Funeral
