31-per-cent increase in South Surrey over same period last year

Violent crime soars across Surrey

Cities lobbied

Signs urged for bus loop Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

White Rock should team up with Surrey and TransLink to improve the signage surrounding its transit hubs, according to a resident who spoke at city council last week.

Longtime White Rock resident Roderick Louis presented his case to council July 27, highlighting what he described as “abysmal” signage at the White Rock Centre bus exchange at 152 Street / John-ston Road, and along Marine Drive between east and west beaches.

“There is no signage at this bus exchange that tells you you’re in White Rock, or to tell you how to get down to the beach,” Louis explained, as he scrolled through photographs on a PowerPoint pre-sentation.

Using transit hubs like New Westminster and Bridgeport sta-tions as examples, Louis suggested the addition of maps, directions to points of interest and other rel-evant information – available in multiple languages – be included in signage at the bus exchange.

Pointing out that the majority of bus stops along Marine Drive don’t have schedules or information directing riders back to the town centre, Louis said much work needs to be done on the waterfront as well.

Violent crime in Surrey has skyrocketed by 34 per cent, with attempted murders six times that of the same period last year.

RCMP statistics indicate Newton led the city with the spike in attempted homicides, experiencing a 900-per-cent jump in the second quarter of this year compared to last year.

It was followed by Whalley at a 300-per-cent climb in attempted homicides, while other communities saw no change.

Homicides were down 33 per cent overall.Police say the large number of attempted

murders are due to the drug turf war playing out, largely in Newton and Whalley, where two groups are battling over a dial-a-dope operation.

The police said in a release there has been a recent drop in the number of shootings, in part because of a multi-jurisdictional clamp-down on the people believed to be involved.

The statistics released Friday are made public by the Surrey RCMP every quarter, as was mandated by council as part of the

Crime Reduction Strategy in a move toward further transparency.

Overall in Surrey, most violent crimes were on the increase, including sexual assault (up 65 per cent), abduction and kidnapping (up 55 per cent), and robbery, which was up 33 per cent.

No community was spared the spike in violent crimes.

Cloverdale/Port Kells saw the biggest jump at 46 per cent, followed by Guildford/Fleet-wood at 41 per cent. Newton followed with a 33-per-cent jump, and South Surrey was right

behind with a 31-per-cent spike. (For the first six months of 2015, South Sur-

rey reported 239 violent crimes, compared to 172 in the first half of 2014.)

Whalley saw the lowest climb in violent crime at 28 per cent.

Sexual assaults were also up dramatically across the city, with the only drop being in Whalley, which decreased by 11 per cent.

The most dramatic rise in sexual assaults was in Cloverdale/Port Kells, which increased by 150 per cent (four to 10).

It cost about $65 million less running the City of Surrey last year compared to the 2013, according to financial figures released by the city last month.

The 2014 Statement of Financial Information details how much money was received by the city and where it was spent.

In total, Surrey spent $655 million running the city last year, an 8.5 per cent drop from the year prior, which was $760 million.

However, 2013 was an anomaly, up significantly from the year prior, which was $555 million.

In all, last year and the year before increased more than $100 million from 2012.

Money paid to third-party suppliers dropped last year by almost $20 mil-lion to $582.9 million. Staff costs rose

by $9 million to $170 million last year.The big earners with the city are

former city manager Vincent Lalonde, who made a salary of $250,212, fol-lowed by general manager of finance and technology Vivienne Wilke, who earned $234,593, general manager of planning and development Jean LaMontagne at $223,793 annually, general manager of parks, recreation and culture Laurie Cavan at $221,926, general manager of operations Gerry McKinnon at $204,662, fire Chief Len Garis, who made $201,414 and city solicitor Craig MacFarlane at $192,090.

Last year, city council rang up $635,056, a significant drop from the 2013, where council cost $805,000.

The biggest drop was in salaries, partly due to a decision by exiting councillor Marvin Hunt not to collect a civic paycheque after he was elected to provincial office.

RCMP are investigating a pair of stabbings that took place in North Sur-rey within 40 minutes of each other on Thursday night.

The two are not linked, police say.At 10:55 p.m., police responded to an

argument between several men in the 13200-block of 108 Avenue.

During the exchange between a 36-year-old Surrey man and about six others, the lone man was stabbed in

the torso. He was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

At 11:35 p.m., police were called to a stabbing near 100 Avenue and Semi-ahmoo Road. When police arrived, they found at 40-year-old man suffer-ing from stab wounds to the chest.

He was taken to hospital and is in stable condition.

Anyone with information is asked to call 604-599-0502.

Grandview Heights duplex development turned down by Surrey council

Opponents say rejection will be short-lived

Transport Canada regulations targeted by South Surrey couple

Parents continue their push for air safety

Tracy HolmesStaff Reporter

A proposal to build 16 duplex units across the street from homes on acreage in Grand-view Heights was denied third reading at Surrey City Hall last week.

But residents who oppose the project stopped well short of calling the move a vic-tory, saying the message from council is that duplexes on the site will still be the end result.

“We might as well not even showed up,” said Gary Cameron, of the July 27 decision regarding Tara Developments’ application for the 16600-block of 26 Avenue. “There was no indication (council) heard anything we said about the development.”

Tara Developments has applied to build 16 semi-detached units and one single-family home on approximately two acres.

The application received first and second reading on July 13, despite a planning report recommending council refer the project back to staff and the applicant “for further dialogue with area residents to address out-standing issues.”

Those issues include that residents do not want high-density in the area. They want

development that is more consistent with what already exists: single-family homes, and sensitive transitions that protect the neigh-bourhood from encroaching urbanization.

Following a public hearing July 27, council voted 5-3 against giving the application third reading, then, on a motion from Coun. Dave Woods, voted to refer it back to staff.

Cameron – who helped collect more than 350 signatures in a week on a petition against the application – said the message he heard from council Monday is that a similar project will ultimately proceed.

“They were basically saying the will of council is, we’re going to keep high-density duplexes,” he told Peace Arch News.

“It’s been sent back. But we’ve been told it’s going to be roughly the same development no matter what. It wasn’t a resounding victory by any means.”

Residents told council the developer has refused to consider their concerns, which include that the project does not fit with the character of the large-lot neighbourhood. Other developers have been much more receptive to compromises, they said.

That point was reiterated a number of

times during Monday’s public hearing, prior to the votes.

One speaker said Tara Developments’ plan shows “no consistency but a jarring discon-nect.” Another speaker, Sandra Houghton, asked council to “not allow developers to compromise our standards.”

Resident Mike Proskow said the proponent “has chosen to advance a plan for the com-munity that puts them at odds with every stakeholder involved.”

Architect Mark Ankenman, however, dis-puted the comments and noted the project falls within the guidelines of the Neighbour-hood Concept Plan, completed in 2012.

“If there’s a range of opportunities in the NCP that the neighbourhood doesn’t want, then that range of opportunities shouldn’t be in the NCP,” he said, noting the increased density cited “ain’t us,” but will come from a project going in behind Tara Developments’.

Ankenman told council he regrets getting to this point in the process without an agree-ment with neighbours.

“It’s a growing community and what we’re trying to do is densify in the most sensitive way,” he said. “Believe me, neighbours, I

have been respectful.”In voicing opposition to third reading,

Coun. Judy Villeneuve noted the residents’ interest for more dialogue. The petition, she added, is “something that we need to listen to.”

“I hope if it’s referred back to planning, then somebody will move,” she said. “I do believe that a sensitive interface is impor-tant… and this project just isn’t there yet.”

Mayor Linda Hepner, noting her support for the project, described it as a good com-promise that will provide more options for people who want to live in properties that look like large estate homes but can’t afford to.

In bringing forward his motion, Woods said he did not have a problem with the duplexes’ design, just that they were too “squished together.”

He’s also concerned about the impasse between the applicant and residents.

“There has to be movement,” he said. “There has to be movement big-time, and there has to be compromise.”

Villeneuve agreed there are possibilities for the site – including that of large, single-fam-ily homes – “if there would be some com-promise and some work on this application.”

When it comes to pushing for small-aircraft safety reforms, Greg Sewell has followed all the proper steps – researched what exists and what doesn’t, made note of seem-ingly obvious places for improve-ments, compiled it all into an easy-to-peruse binder and presented it to those with the power to enact change.

But as the third anniversary of the plane crash that killed daughter Lauren and her boyfriend, Dallas Smith, approaches with no sign that the calls for change are being taken seriously, he says he’s tired of feeling ignored.

On Aug. 13, www.smallaircrafts-afetyreform.com will launch, call-ing – in a decidedly more public manner – on Transport Canada to finally act on repeated recom-mendations from the Transporta-tion Safety Board and the coroner’s service and mandate that small aircraft manufactured prior to July 1978 be retrofitted with shoulder harnesses.

And, he’s inviting those who agree that it’s high time such a step – and six others he’s recom-mending – to sign an e-petition demanding action.

“What happened to Lauren should not happen to any other family,” Sewell said Friday, as he and his wife, Fran, previewed the website for Peace Arch News at their South Surrey home. “It’s just screaming out for change, the gov-ernment is ignoring it and we want the regulations changed.

“There will be more deaths, as long as the government continues to do nothing.”

Reached Friday, a Transport Can-ada official said someone would respond to PAN’s requests for com-ment yesterday (Tuesday), but it

did not arrive by press time.Lauren Sewell, 24, and Smith,

30 had been dating less than six months when the Piper Twin Comanche they were passengers in crashed into a wooded area just west of Kelowna on Aug. 13, 2012.

Smith, who was sitting in the

front passenger seat, died on impact. Lauren, who had been seated immediately behind the pilot, died two days later from what doctors told her parents was an “unsurvivable brain injury.”

A coroner’s report issued last October agreed, and ruled the

crash accidental. However, it also made two rec-

ommendations: that planes like the Piper be retrofitted with shoul-der harnesses; and that consider-ation be given to development of a mountain-flying course.

“The coroner told me (that) had

she been wearing a shoulder har-ness, she would’ve probably been out of that hospital in 30 days,” Sewell said.

For Sewell, it was a familiar mes-sage. Findings in a Transportation Safety Board report on the crash that was issued in November 2013 noted “the safety of passengers could have been improved if the aircraft had been equipped with shoulder harnesses to complement the available lap belts.”

At a news conference held that month in response to the report, Sewell noted Transport Canada had received “dozens” of TSB reports in the last 20 years that highlighted the increased risk of injury associated with a lack of shoulder harnesses in such aircraft. Those recommen-dations, he said at the time, have “fallen on deaf ears.”

He and Fran delivered their pro-posal for change to Minister of Transport Lisa Raitt’s Milton, Ont. constituency office last Novem-ber. Promised a response “within months,” they’re still waiting, despite having made followup calls and receiving the same assurance.

“It will be nine months next week,” Sewell said. “I’ve become very frus-trated as an individual trying to reform the laws in this country. This is something that clearly the government is ignoring.”

Service bulletins that recommend the move – such as one issued in January 1995 for the Piper – are also not enough, Sewell said, not-ing change will only be assured if Transport Canada issues an air-worthiness directive.

Seventeen such directives were issued for the Piper in the years prior to the August 2012 crash, he said.

“Had they made the shoulder restraint the 18th one, our daugh-ter would still be here today.”

It was followed by South Surrey, up 100 per cent (from five to 10).

In Newton, sexual assaults climbed from 22 to 43, a jump of 95 per cent, while Guildford/Fleetwood sexual assaults shot up from 13 to 23, an increase of 77 per cent.

They’re the kinds of number that are “unacceptable in any city,” according to Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner.

The mayor said she doesn’t place too much stock in numbers based only on quarterly changes, as many things can affect crime

stats in a short period.She’s more interested, she said,

in trends over a longer time span.“When you judge the safety of

a city, you have to take in mind more than what does a quarterly stat look like,” she said.

Bright spots in the second-quarter statistics were a decrease in thefts over $5,000, which fell by 33 per cent, a 21-per-cent decrease in residential break-and-enters, a 28-per-cent drop in identity theft and a 12-per-cent decline in business break-and-enters.

“I am pleased to see that prop-

erty crime is down in our city as a result of the hard work of our target teams and residents and business owners who are tak-ing steps to protect themselves and their property,” said Chief Supt. Bill Fordy, Surrey RCMP’s Officer in Charge. “While the news is not as good in our violent crime category, the focus we’ve placed on the shooting con-flict and robberies with our law enforcement partners is leading to arrests and charges that will hopefully drive crime down as we continue to apply significant pressure to these offenders.”

Numbers unacceptable: Hepner from page 1

Louis said he feels the problem is a result of “the lack of a formal mechanism, such as a joint task force involving White Rock, Sur-rey and TransLink, to sit down on a regular basis and discuss these issues and make recom-mendations for what should be done.”

Following his presentation, Coun. Lynne Sinclair told Louis he raised “very good points,” and made a motion – carried unani-mously – that council direct the issue of signage to the city’s tour-ism task force, a recently formed group of stakeholders, business

owners and industry experts who are working to develop a Tour-ism Strategy for the city.

Louis later told Peace Arch News he was dissatisfied with the response from council.

Alex BrowneStaff Reporter

A townhouse and apartment project under construction on Vidal Street is again raising con-cerns of neighbours across the street.

They say they’re worried about large plastic bags full of old dry-wall containing asbestos that are occupying several parking bays of what was formerly known as Mariner’s Reach townhouse com-plex, but is now being redevel-oped as The Beverley (1467-1519 Vidal St.).

Fiona MacDermid said last week that while some of the bags – each several feet wide and marked with tape labelled ‘Danger - Asbestos’ – have now been removed from two bays, they had been sitting there for weeks, following asbestos-abatement work that began at the complex more than a month ago.

The bags remain in two other parking bays, she said, although they have since been covered with a tarp.

“They’re not just an eyesore, for us, it’s the safety issue,” she told Peace Arch News. “Common sense dictates that if you have hazardous material in a neigh-bourhood, you need to remove it.”

MacDermid said she had called the city bylaw department and was assured by a staff member that the city is satisfied that the old drywall has been triple-bagged and properly secured by the developer, Cressey.

Staff could not confirm a date for removal of the material, saying only that it would be moved “as soon as possible.”

In response to a PAN enquiry, city spokesperson Shannon Levesque noted, however, that WorkSafe BC regulates and con-tacts developers and contractors with regard to removal of any hazardous material such as asbes-tos. Cressey did not respond to a request for comment on a time-line for removal of the material.

MacDermid said the longer the bags remain, the more chance that people and animals can come into contact with the material.

“It’s very disturbing,” she said. “I suffer from asthma and I have to be concerned airborne material and dust. If somebody slashes a bag or starts opening bags, the asbestos could get out there. You don’t have to breathe very much to be affected.”

MacDermid said residents on the street had been unaware of the stored materials until tarps cover-ing the drywall were removed for a couple of weeks starting July 17.

She said there were also con-cerns that abestos abatement per-mits had not been posted where the public could see them.

The 96-apartment, 12 town-house project was narrowly approved by council in 2013, after residents complained the plan was much too dense for the neighbourhood.

In September, the city issued a stop-work order at the site fol-lowing unauthorized demolition of four old townhouses to make room for a “stick-frame” tempo-rary sales centre for the project.

City manager Dan Bottrill said at the time that the permit-appli-cation process was underway when the developer apparently jumped the gun.

Area residents said then that they were concerned about the need for asbestos abatement on the site – but that their concerns had been eased by discussions with WorkSafe BC officials.

In the words of an old war song, “there’s a long, long trail a-winding” – but whether it’s into the land of our dreams is anybody’s guess, and a

matter of opinion, once ballots are counted.As predicted, Prime Minister Stephen Harper,

caused the writ to be dropped early, signalling the beginning of the longest federal election campaign in recent times. The date of the election, Oct. 19 has been set by legislation.

In announcing the launch Sunday, Harper said he did it because he believes the other parties have already started campaigning.

His rationale is that the other parties campaigns should be “conducted under the rules of law… that the money come from the parties themselves, not from government resources or taxpayer resources.”

But pundits have long said that, as leader of the incumbent government, timing of the beginning of the campaign is an ace that has always been in the prime minister’s hand.

Indeed, he would have been foolish not to take advantage of the edge this gives his Conservatives – notwithstanding the fact that taxpayers will end up bearing extra costs for a prolonged battle; publicly funded Elections Canada will, alone, have to spend tens of millions of dollars more to oversee the extended campaign.

By calling the election, Harper has effectively taken third-party advertisements – such as the union-funded anti-Tory blitz launched by Engage Canada – out of the picture. The $200,000 spending limit on such advertisements, imposed once the parties hit the campaign trail, will be exhausted in the blink of a voter’s eye.

At the same time – by almost doubling the standard length of a campaign – he has almost doubled the amount of money a wealthy political party can spend on election spending: more than $50 million at last count. Only the party with the largest war chest in Canada will be able to take full advantage of that, of course. And, quizzed by reporters Sunday, Harper made no apologies for the fact that that happens to be the Conservatives.

We don’t really need political scientists – or Harper himself – to tell us his strategy on this campaign.

It’s clear that any cash-rich party would want opponents to use up all their advertising ammunition in the earlier weeks of a more than two-month slog. Then, once the other parties have fired all the shots in their locker, the Conservatives will load the big guns for a sustained barrage in the closing weeks.

That – and vote-splitting – may be enough to hand the Conservatives yet another governing mandate – and, even if it’s a minority, opposition parties bled white by prolonged campaigning would likely have no fight left to challenge it.

Political challenge

Published by Black Press Ltd. at 200-2411 160 Street, Surrey, B.C.

opinionPeace Arch News

VICTORIA – Now that the political back-and-forth is over, there are two questions left about

the Petronas-led proposal to make the biggest private-sector investment in B.C. history.

Will it actually happen? And is it a good deal or a bad one?

Premier Christy Clark ducked the first question on the day the project agreement for Pacific Northwest LNG was approved by the B.C. legislature.

“After many predictions about the Canucks and the Alberta election, I don’t make predictions any more,” Clark said. “But I can say that this project has gone farther than any of our critics said that it would.”

For what it’s worth, my prediction is on record: it will go ahead. The latest evidence is the company’s continued, costly effort to gain federal and local approval for a suspension bridge to Lelu Island to minimize the marine impact. Lax Kw’alaams Band members could not have had details on that change from an underwater pipeline when they voted to oppose the project in May.

Is it a good deal? The mayors of Prince

Rupert and Port Edward have made their views clear – they see it as a lifeline for an area that has struggled for years with a faded forest and fishing industry.

The BC NDP is also now clear, having voted against the project agreement in

the brief summer session of the legislature that concluded last week. Whether the project proceeds or not, this will be a key election issue in 2017.

NDP Leader John Horgan and other MLAs made much of the lack of job guarantees, pointing to similar projects in Australia.

Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman issued a statement with excerpts from the state of Western Australia’s agreement for the Gorgon LNG project. The so-called guarantees contain qualifiers like this: “... except in those

cases where… it is not reasonable or economically practical to do so, use labour available within Western Australia.”

Obviously there were no job guarantees, which could only exist in a command economy, in other words a communist dictatorship.

Everyone agrees that specialized trades such as welding alloys for low-

temperature operation will be brought in. And LNG processing trains will be shipped in pre-fabricated from places like South Korea, as they have been in Australia and elsewhere.

Pacific Northwest LNG is on record with federal regulators that in the latter stages of construction, the use of foreign labour for the project could reach 70 per cent. Does that make it a bad deal?

Perhaps B.C. could attempt develop this expertise from the ground up. It seems to me that was tried with aluminum ship fabrication, and it didn’t work out too well.

For David Keane, president of the B.C. LNG Alliance, the question is how many large LNG projects, pipelines and all, can be managed at the same time as the Site C dam is being built. It was skilled labour shortages, and particularly a shortage of supervisors, that caused Australia to lose some of its proposed projects.

Keane said all LNG proponents here want to use as much local labour as they can, because it’s less expensive and it builds local support. And he disagrees that B.C. is a sweet deal for the industry. Among other things, pipelines have to be built across two mountain ranges.

Not only that, B.C. producers would pay an LNG income tax, which is a first in the history of the industry. Add to that PST, GST, payroll taxes, municipal taxes and federal and provincial corporate income taxes. Add aboriginal revenue sharing, and we have a deal.

Children punishedEditor:Re: Youth soccer programs suspended, July 31.

When I read the article about the goings on in the Surrey soccer situation, my heart went out to the hundreds of children who will be banned from playing.

Why should these innocent children be punished for the apparent sins of the executives?

Find a solution that will allow the children to keep playing!Fred Bellsmith, White Rock

Waste struggle unites residentsEditor:

Historically, when a government shirks its responsibility toward its citizens, the citizens accept the fact that they cannot rely on that government.

When mayor and council shirked their civic responsibility and showed their fear of being involved in any form of waste management for multifamily buildings, it was pusillanimous.

The residents of multifamily buildings, on the other hand, accepted the challenge and embraced their responsibilities.

Being forced to search out and engage a waste-management company was, for some strata council members, daunting.

Some strata councils banded together to form support groups to help each other in this endeavour. Other strata councils sought assistance from people with contacts in the waste-management field.

Others took on the challenge, asked questions, researched each waste-management company and made their decision.

No matter the method used by each individual strata council, the eventual result was that contracts were signed and waste-management companies were engaged.

At a meeting held April 1 with mayor and council (City of White Rock gets earful on trash plans, April 2), the residents of White Rock predicted the impact of having many garbage trucks on the streets of the city and how this would influence the quality of life of its citizens.

These concerns fell on deaf ears, and today we can see clearly the results of mayor and council’s decision and avoidance of their responsibilities.

The streets and alleyways of our city are now disrupted by a fleet of trucks, six days a week. Smelly organic bins line the streets daily.

Today, there are major issues facing the people and mayor and council of White Rock.

Citizens are forming support groups to input into city council’s actions and decisions, to put forward ideas for the betterment of life in White Rock.

It is time for mayor and council to start listening and learning.Ian Routledge, White Rock

Parental pleaheard beforeEditor:Re: The price of kindness, July 22 letters.

I read with interest the letter from Elva Stoelers about the man asking for funds for gas so he could get back to his children in Chilliwack.

I think it is safe to say that he was indeed a scammer, because I was approached with exactly the same story a few days previously, including the proffering of a business card and the promise to repay.

Stoelers should not berate herself

too severely – the fellow was very convincing and I might well have succumbed had I not just spent most of my cash on lunch.Bill Stewart, Surrey

U.S. side means businessEditor:

Crossing the border last week, the difference in attitude was overwhelming.

At 7 a.m., U.S. Customs had five booths open, with a wait that didn’t exceed five minutes.

Heading north 20 minutes later, despite a lineup that stretched far beyond the Peace Arch, CBSA had a single booth open. The travellers, overwhelmingly American, had to ensure a 25- to 35-minute wait.

Americans obviously want our money and make the effort to speed our entry into their country.

CBSA, on the other hand, wants to teach Americans that they are not welcome here, and that we don’t want them to come to our country and spend their filthy money.

This is an issue that has been raised to our completely ineffectual member of Parliament many times, but nothing ever changes.Ed Beauregard, Surrey

Melissa Smalley photoThe City of White Rock’s ongoing discussions to revise its official community plan has some wondering what’s up.

Editor:I was at the White Rock council meeting to hear plans

for the controversial 21- and 24-storey towers proposal (City takes closer look at tower plans, July 29).

I was surprised that council members had not received the information yet, but also at the planner’s suggestion that the advisory design panel review it again with suggested changes before bringing it before council.

There are actually three developments being reviewed, all requiring Official Community Plan changes to permit these developments of 12 to 24 storeys.

The developers will have to go to considerable expense to make these changes, without knowing whether their projects will be allowed. However, it will be worth it if they can get cheap land that is not zoned for highrises.

Is this what you, the taxpayers of White Rock, want?The old argument that more people in White Rock

will lower our taxes has never proven to be true.The city planner presented survey results regarding

the Official Community Plan update underway (‘No one has defined White Rock’s unique character’, July 31).

Coun. Lynne Sinclair brought up a good point about one of the questions the survey asked. Those surveyed were asked to rate, from one to five, density options for the city. The way this question was asked, the people surveyed mainly answered that the high density should go in the town centre. They dutifully filled in the next four options, not realizing the planner would interpret the result as residents would next want highrises along North Bluff, then Five Corners, then adjacent to the Town Center and lastly into single-family neighbourhoods.

The report further states that some residents describe White Rock as a quaint seaside town and wish to see this unique identity preserved. Also, some express concern the size of new housing, height of highrises and introduction of concrete buildings detract from this small-town feel.

Keeping this in mind, I was appalled to see how many multi-storey projects have been submitted to the city.

Who is encouraging this? Is this what you want? I have been told that White Rock has signed on to

Metro Vancouver to increase dwelling units by 4,000. I Googled Metro Vancouver and learned the following projections – White Rock to increase dwelling units from 9,900 in 2006 to 11,700 by 2021 – are “to assist in long-range planning and are guidelines only.”

We, the people, should be deciding how much more

density we want. We are already one of the most dense cities in the region. Since 2006, we have grown our units significantly, especially if you count all the legal and illegal secondary suites and new highrises in the town centre.

Do we have enough sewer capacity? Water? Do we want more traffic? Have we enough space in our hospital? Enough schools? Enough fire and police services? Enough transit and parking? Do we want to be another West End?

I understand these projects will not be voted on by council until the Official Community Plan is finalized. You still have time to make your views known.Patricia Kealy, White Rock

I listened to a report presented by the city’s director of planning on the ‘Imagine White Rock 2045’ survey, and I would like the residents to imagine this:

A director presents a survey report to the council by emphasizing it is not a scientific survey.

Imagine that the city has hired consultants and spent hours planning a non-scientific survey. Imagine that the director acknowledges that some people expressed concern that the survey may have been contaminated.

Imagine she says that was addressed by the question in the survey about residency – even though it was pointed to her that anyone could sign in as a resident.

Now imagine she quotes all the figures and interpretations from the survey as being “significant”.

I could not believe that not one councillor questioned how future development plans would rely on this kind of survey. I am very concerned that this survey and future similar surveys will determine the direction of OCP. Aroon Shah, White Rock

Are we a bit muddled here in White Rock? Don’t we have the cart before the horse?

Our OCP is being updated – presumably to better reflect the needs and wishes of White Rock residents.

Yet council is already entertaining proposals to build massive projects on Oxford and Thrift, known to be contrary to the current OCP. Does this not imply a tacit promise by council to facilitate their construction in due course? No wonder locals are out in force again protesting! Remind you of the Bosa Towers?

Sadly, it seems protesters will have to muddle on while council and big business steamrolls over them.Mary Ponsford, White Rock

A surge in shellfish-related illness due to the hot summer weather has prompted the B.C. Centre for Disease Control to issue a warning to oyster lovers.

The centre says 35 cases of a bacterial infection called Vibrio parahaemolyticus have been reported in June and July – an unprecedented number.

Most people got sick from eating raw B.C. oysters served in restaurants, although some cases involved oysters that were self-harvested or bought at retail outlets.

The bacteria occurs naturally in shellfish like oysters, clams, mussels, scallops and cockles and their concentrations rise in the summer months and warmer temperatures.

People can get sick when contaminated shellfish are eaten raw or undercooked.

Diarrhea is the most common symptom from infection, but nausea, vomiting, fever, headache and bloody stools can also result.

The BCCDC advises consumers to eat only cooked shellfish to destroy the bacteria and reduce the risk of gastrointestinal illness.

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula


When we hear about a nurse going to Nepal, we tend to have a mental image of someone

tending to injuries directly caused by the country’s devastating earthquakes.

But in many ways, the real patient is Nepal itself, explains White Rock’s Genelle Leifso – recently returned from a month-long stint in the country under the auspices of the Canadian Red Cross.

Three months after April’s quakes – which killed more than 8,800 people, injured more than 22,000 and destroyed almost 600,000 homes – the principal work is helping to provide the infrastructure to take care of life-goes-on needs, such as helping deliver babies.

“When I was there, we only saw one

trauma patient – someone who got caught in a landslide – but there were babies every day,” she said.

A retired OR nursing instructor at BCIT – who still does casual shifts at Vancouver General and Peace Arch

Hospital – Leifso turned 64 while volunteering in Nepal. Husband Lowell was back in White Rock at the time; their one son is grown and has his own career as a pediatrician.

Leifso was assigned to a hospital in Dhunche, nearly six hours north of Katmandu, over switchback mountain

roads reduced to little more than trails by frequent landslides.

A once-popular tourism destination for hikers, near Langtang Mountain, it is struggling to get back on its feet as a self-sufficient community.

Leifso was working at a hillside hospital

– reduced to a series of tents and “one warehouse building that was relatively intact.”

“It was 240 steps just going up to the operating room,” she added, noting the hillside was unstable while they were working.

“We moved our tent three times in three weeks,” she said. “It made me think of the importance of travelling light. At the same time, we had somewhere comfortable to return to – unlike many of the people in Nepal.”

The team she was on comprised 12 Canadians, as well as two Red Cross personnel from the Phillipines, two from Columbia and one from Nepal.

“Everyone was just so capable and so committed – it was wonderful to be a part of that group.”

In one regard, the dilapidated hospital’s capabilities received a distinct upgrade –

White Rock’s Genelle Leifso cradles a small child whose eyelid was injured by a dog bite. The retired nurse spent a month in Nepal with the Canadian Red Cross after several devastating earthquakes in April.

the team’s provision of surgical services.

“That was not something that was part of the old hospital,” she said. “The

patients were women who, generally, needed C-sections. What they’d normally do would be to refer themselves to Katmandu.”

Leifso said she

could not help but be impressed by the spirit of the Nepalese themselves.

“The involvement with the local people in Dhunche was

heartwarming – they were overwhelmingly accepting,” she said. “The people are amazingly industrious and resilient.”

A lingering image is of women and men working together in the streets to clear rubble that still impedes cleanup efforts.

“I remember an older lady sitting on the ground, hammering rocks into smaller bits,” she said.

“It’s going to be quite a while before they are going to be anywhere near normal.”

Overall, her time in Nepal was an “amazing experience.”

“It was a huge opportunity for each members of the team to feel that they were going to leave some sort of legacy,” she said. “The people we were working with are developing their skills and abilities.

The work I did with a couple of nurses and a couple of local girls was in learning the way to clean and sterilize instruments.

“They’ll have some sort of hospital there in the future, and if the equipment and tools they’re using are cleaned properly and maintained properly without transmitting infection, that is something that will last.”

The late artist, born in Belgrade,Yugoslavia, made White Rock and the Semiahmoo Peninsula his second home in the 1990s and his paintings became an ongoing tribute to the area through detailed, highly evocative plein-air pieces.

His glowing colours and architectural details – also the focus of a Tourism White Rock calendar last year and preserved among White Rock Museum and Archives’ collection – offer a nostalgic legacy, sure to bring pangs to those who recall the way the area used to be.

The paintings can be viewed Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. to Aug. 30, by appointment.

For more info, call 778-292-0687, or visit the Vojislav Morosan Facebook page.

sports…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula


Call it a family affair.Athletes who train and play together

can often wind up feeling like they’re related – but Team BC is going that one bet-ter with its current mens and womens beach volleyball teams.

Heading into the 2015 Western Canada Summer Games in Fort McMurray, Alta. competing two-member teams come from just two sets of brother-sister siblings.

Through a selection process that started on the May long weekend, South Surrey’s Darby Dunn, 17 and brother Devon, 20, have been matched up with Kelowna’s Quinci Birker (also 17) and brother Liam.

“I’ve been coaching B.C. teams for the last 10 years, and this is the first time this has ever happened,” said men’s team coach Kyra Ian-none (Chris Densmore coaches the women).

And she said that good things are expected of both the Liam-Devon and Quinci-Darby partnerships, as the players are known quan-tities who have participated at gold and silver level at national and international events before.

“Devon played for Team Canada and the U-19 world championships in Portugal, while Quinci played for Team Canada in the U-17 world championships in Acapulco, Mexico.” Iannone said.

“Both of their teams should be in the gold-medal match this year,” she added. “For the last six years now, both the girls and the guys on Team BC have been in the gold medal matches.”

Fortunately – considering it’s a fast-moving sport in which flexibility and communication between team members is crucial – it’s a great advantage that the brothers and sisters get along well.

Their camaraderie was evident as they staged a mock sisters-against-brothers battle for the camera when the Peace Arch News caught up with them after a train-ing session at Semiahmoo Secondary’s beach volley-ball courts on Friday.

They weren’t strangers to one-another when the selection was made, they said, even though this is the first time the respec-tive siblings have been on the same team.

“We’ve played against each other,” noted Darby.

“And we’ve both been on trips together,” added Quinci. “Liam and I have already been

staying at their house for the past week and nothing’s blown up!”

Communicating with each other well is par-ticularly vital, Iannone said.

“There’s no coaches there whatsoever dur-ing a game. They not only have to be able to compete, but figure out the game for themselves.”

“There’s lots of communi-cation between every single play – and we’re talking through the whole play,” said Liam, who’s going into his third year at the Univer-sity of Calgary.

He enjoys the “intense” nature of the sport, he said,

while sister Quinci, who is going into Grade 12 this fall, said she appreciates the chance to be half of a two-person team.

“I like not having to deal with a lot of people – there’s more responsibility and account-

ability,” she said. “You can’t really suck, and still win.”

Both Devon and Liam started volleyball when they were in Grade 10 – at Elgin Park Secondary and Kelowna Senior Secondary respectively – and when their sisters were in Grade 6 at the same schools.

They have a varied background of compet-ing in various sports, including football and gymnastics, but all have soccer and basketball experience in common.

After five blocks of training, the athletes are feeling good about the upcoming competi-tion – even though, as Iannone pointed out, they will experience the added glare of media attention, television coverage and play-by-play commentary.

“We’re feeling confident going into it,” said Devon, who starts his third year at Douglas College college this fall.

“I like that we’re going to be playing people that we’ve never seen before,” said Darby, who will be entering her first year at Douglas in

September.“It’s a challenge – usually you’ll be playing a

lot of the same teams and players every single weekend.”

Iannone pointed out that both girls will likely be matched against second-year uni-versity students in their games – but she’s not worried about their chances.

“They’re that talented,” she said. The athletes agree with Iannone that the

greatest on-court strength of both teams is ball control.

All four want to continue playing beach volleyball – although the girls have a distinct advantage in that regard, Iannone said.

While the men would have to find some other kind of sponsorship, there are many women’s beach volleyball scholarships avail-able in the U.S.

“Both want to pursue university in the States,” she said. “Although Darby will be going to Douglas for a year, she’s looking at Florida right now.”

A team of 12-year-old White Rock ball players are only a few games away from competing on youth baseball’s biggest stage – the Little League World Series in Wil-liamsport, Pa.

But in order to get there, first they’ll have to take care of business at Canadian Little League Champi-onships in East Nepean, Ont.

The winner of that tournament – which begins Friday in the Ottawa

suburb – will earn the right to rep-resent Canada at the World Series.

White Rock’s first game is against Notre Dame, from Montreal.

“The boys are really excited, that’s for sure,” said White Rock All-Stars coach Bob Cumiskey.

White Rock advanced to the nationals after a capturing a pro-vincial title last week, beating New Westminster in the finals.

Now, they’ll face their stiffest competition to date.

And while advancing to William-

sport is the end goal, the Peninsula squad also has the chance to exact a little payback on behalf of the last White Rock squad to make it this far.

Two years ago, at nationals in Glace Bay, N.S., White Rock rolled to the Canadian finals undefeated – they were 22-0 that summer, until that point – but were upset in the championship game by a team from East Nepean.

“And now they’re the hosts,” said Cumiskey.

“Hopefully we can get a little revenge.”

And like that team from two summers ago, this year’s White Rock crew is also undefeated, hav-ing won each game at district and provincial championships. Along the way, they’ve outscored their opponents 110-18.

“We’re on a good roll, and obvi-ously (Williamsport) is the goal, but it’s a very tough tournament we’re in – we’re talking about the best players in the country,” Cum-

iskey said. “Just to get this far, and to take

part in a tournament like this, is a (once-in-a-lifetime) opportunity for our guys.”

White Rock has made it to the Little League World Series twice before – in consecutive years from 2007-08 – and was one game shy of a third trip before that 2013 loss in Glace Bay.

Local golfers of both the amateur and professional variety were tearing up leader boards across the country over the past few weeks.

At the Canadian Women’s Amateur Championships – held July 29-31 at the Riverside Country Club in Saskatoon – Surrey golfer Taylor Kim finished in a tie for 17th place, after carding a four-round score of 294 (74-77-70-73), which was good for six-over par on the 6,425-yard par-72 course.

Kim – a graduate of Fraser Heights Secondary who now tees it up for Kent State University in Ohio – was the top B.C. golfer in the field; Victoria’s Naomi Kao was 10-over par.

The tournament was won by Hawaii’s Mariel Galdiano, who finished with a five-under par score of 288.

The 17th-place finish for Kim is one better than her 18th-place finish at last year’s Canadian amateur tournament, which was held at the Craigowan Oxford Golf and Country Club in Woodstock, Ont.

Closer to home, Surrey’s Earl MacPherson nabbed a top-20 finish at the Senior Men’s Championships, held

July 28-30 at Swan-e-Set Bay Resort in Pitt Meadows.

MacPherson – a member of the Semiahmoo Golf and Country Club in Blaine, Wash. – carded a three-round score of three-over par (77-79-75), and finished five shots back of the winner, John Gallacher of Burnaby.

In the professional golf ranks, South Surrey’s Adam Svensson continued his strong summer, placing third last week at the PGA

Tour of Canada/Mackenzie Tour’s ATB Financial Classic in Cochrane, Alta.

Svensson – fresh of a 34th placing at the PGA’s RBC Canadian Open last month – finished the tournament tied for third spot at 15-under par.

He carded a four-round score of 265 (69-64-67-65), which was just two shots off the lead. American golfer Daniel Miernicki took first place, carding a 17-under par score.

Young golfers from around the province posted some impressive scores at the MJT Odlum Brown Classic PGA of BC Junior Championship in Surrey last month.

The three-day tournament took place at Northview Golf Course July 27-29, and saw more than 100 young golfers battle it out for titles in six divisions.

In the girls division, the first-place title came down to a playoff battle between 12-year-old Euna Han of Coquitlam and 14-year-old Tiffany Kong of Vancouver, both of whom finished their rounds eight under par. Kong came out on top, with Kathrin Chan, 15, of Richmond coming in third place.

Consistent scores of 71 through three rounds won Connor McLellan, 19, of Chilli-wack the BC Junior Boys title, while Harry

Bains, 17, of Surrey and Tyler Leclair, 18, of North Vancouver rounded out the top three.

In the Juvenile Boys division, tournament veteran Khan Lee, 15, from Surrey won a 10-stroke victory over runner-up Andy Kim, 15, of Langley.

Braeden Cooper, 15, of Vernon, claimed the Bantam Boys title, while Sean Buckles, 14, of Vancouver came second and Andy Jang, 14, of Langley came third.

Stellar play from Vancouver’s Julie Ju, 14, won her the Girls U15 division, with run-ner up Luyang Jiang of Langley trailing for second place.

Richmond’s Brycen Ko, celebrating his 12th birthday that weekend, won the BC Peewee Boys title, with a 27-stroke victory over the rest of the players.

Some of the Semiahmoo Peninsula’s top young athletes are headed north – way

north – this week, as the Western Canada Summer Games are set to kick off.

The weeklong event is to be hosted by the Municipality of Wood Buffalo – Fort McMurray and surrounding communities – beginning on Saturday, and running until Sunday, Aug. 14.

A dozen athletes and coaches from South Surrey and White Rock are set to take part in the festivities, in sports ranging from volleyball to soccer to track and field.

Two South Surrey siblings, Darby and Devon Dunn, will be

competing for Team BC in women’s and men’s beach volleyball, respectively (for more see page 13). Coincidentally, the two will pair up with another pair of siblings – Kelowna’s Liam Birker (Devon’s partner) and Quinci Barker (who will pair up with Darby).

Elsewhere at the Games, Treyson Cerrato will compete in artistic gymnastics; Michael Chu will compete in tennis, and Danielle Steer will be on Team BC’s women’s soccer team. Carina Steer is also in Wood Buffalo, as the soccer team’s manager.

White Rock will also

be well represented at the westerns, as four athletes – Brianna Keane and Sarah Korpach (both track-and-field), volleyball player Tyson Smith and soccer player Jessica Williams – will be participating, as well as two coaches, Priya Gillian (soccer) and longtime Peninsula volleyball coach, Kyra Iannone.

As well, there are more than 40 other athletes and coaches from other parts of Surrey taking part in the Western Games.
