Candlelight vigils held locally for Sikh victims and their shooter in Wisconsin

Surrey temples honour U.S. victims Kevin Diakiw & Rick Kupchuk Black Press

About 2,000 people attended a candlelight vigil in Surrey Tuesday evening for the victims of a mass shooting at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin on the weekend. The vigil, held at the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara at 7050 120 St., was organized to pray for the victims and their families, as well as for the man who shot them.

Soccer team in contention for bronze medal after losing to U.S. at Summer Olympics

Peninsula residents refocus after ‘bizarre’ officiating Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

Just a few days after one of the most exciting – and controversial – games in Canadian soccer history, Canada’s women’s national team will play today for an Olympic bronze medal against France. And while a medal of any colour would be an accomplishment for the Canadian women’s team – which has never medalled at the Summer Olympics – the team is still reeling from a tough 4-3 extratime loss to the top-ranked U.S. in

Monday’s semifinal. “We were well and truly robbed,” said Peninsula resident Maeve

Glass, who is in London serving as the team’s equipment manager, in an email to Peace Arch News Tuesday. Against the Americans, No. 7-ranked Canada – led by Burnaby’s Christine Sinclair, who notched a hat-trick – led the game for all but the last 30 seconds of overtime. They were on their way to the upset victory until, with 11 minutes to go in regular time, goalkeeper Erin McLeod was whistled for a rarely called delay-of-game penalty, which gave the U.S. a free

On the ensuing kick, the ball went off the elbow of Canadian defender Marie-Eve Nault, and Norwegian referee Christiana Pedersen called for a penalty kick, which Abby Wambach converted to tie the game, 3-3. In extra time, American Alex Morgan scored on a header with just 30 seconds remaining. It was a heartbreaking loss for Team Canada, and the sting of the defeat – and the penalty-kick call – left players and coaches venting to

media and in social-media circles post-game. Canadian head coach John Herdman, also a Peninsula resident, called the officiating “bizarre.” The team’s criticism of the officiating even led to a FIFA investigation of the comments, and for a time it was rumoured some players and coaches may be suspended for the bronze-medal match. However, on Wednesday, it was announced by FIFA that disciplinary action would not come before the game. see page 4

They say Robinson deserved no such leniency. Robinson needs to spend at least a short time in jail. As a former RCMP member, he was charged with upholding the system of law, policing and justice which is essential, if our country is to remain a civil society and if people are to be encouraged to obey the law. The judge missed all that. She failed in her duty to consider these factors in sentencing. If this sentence stands, it will be cited as precedent in future cases and other police officers who break the law will be given light sentences. The Crown must appeal this sentence. Robinson cannot be allowed to serve just one month of house arrest for a serious crime that took the life of a young man. Protectors of the justice system – and there are many – are likely hoping this will be forgotten, as in late July and August most people are in vacation mode. They must be reminded by citizens that this sentence is completely unacceptable. The sentence must be appealed, not just for the sake of the Hutchinson family, but for the future well-being of our society. We must ensure that police officers are not able to get away with such serious offences. If they are, there is no incentive for any citizen to obey the law and respect police officers’ enforcement of the law. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

news RCMP officer spots driver whose car rolled on 40 Avenue

Man found after two hours stuck in ditch Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A 50-year-old Surrey man is fortunate for the sharp eyes of an RCMP officer, who spotted his overturned vehicle in a ditch this week. The man was on his way home on 40 Avenue near King George Boulevard at about 3

a.m. Monday, when he veered from the road and rolled into a ditch. He was stuck in the car for two hours until the officer passed by and noticed the car in the ditch. “He (the officer) hears somebody in the car, yelling for help, and sure enough, he finds this 50-year-old man has been in there

for about two hours,” RCMP Sgt. Drew Grainger told Black Press. The police officer, along with emergency health services, removed the man from the car and transported him to hospital by air ambulance. The man sustained a broken hand, as well as some bruising to his face and shoulder.

Police say alcohol or drugs were not contributing factors in the crash. No one else was hurt. Police are proud of the job done by the officer that night. “It was good work, he took that extra second to have a look at something that didn’t look quite right,” Grainger said.

Intersection safety questioned by neighbour

Shuttle crash renews call for help Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

A collision between a small car and a Spirit of the Sea Festival shuttle bus sent one person to hospital last weekend and left one local resident wondering why the intersection in question lacks a four-way stop sign. The crash occurred at the intersection of Roper Avenue and Foster Street around 10:30 a.m. Saturday. The driver of the car was transported by ambulance to Peace Arch Hospital as a precaution following the accident, but her injuries were not considered life-threatening. A number of children and adults on the bus suffered what were described as bumps and bruises by the White Rock Fire Department. Local resident Frank Bott said drivers routinely run the two-way stop signs at the intersection, failing to stop and look for traffic that has the right of way. The result has been a lot of near-misses.

Contributed photo

A crash Saturday sent one woman to hospital. “Every day, there’s people running the stop sign, or skidding,” Bott told Peace Arch News Wednesday. “It’s an everyday occurrence.” The city recently replaced the existing stop signs at the intersection with slightly larger stop signs mounted higher, but they don’t seem

to be having much effect, Bott said. The Saturday crash is the second serious collision at the intersection in just over two years. In May of 2010, two men were taken to hospital following a roll-over collision at the same intersection. An older model Honda hit the back end of an SUV, which rolled over and came to rest on its rooftop. At the time, White RCMP Const. Janelle Shoihet said while police files only show a few collisions at the intersection, its location on a hill does create “a bit of a blind side” for northbound drivers. Bott warned that without a four-way stop or a roundabout going in, there could be a fatal crash one day. He said residents have raised the issue with city hall, but with little success. The city engineer was unavailable for comment at PAN press time Wednesday.

White Rock’s newest youth ambassador team will embark on a yearlong journey of community service led by Earl Marriott Secondary student, and newly crowned Miss White Rock, Sunny Shih. The Grade 11 student was presented the crown after accumulating the most points in the competition. Judges mark ambassadors on a 150-point system in categories such as talent, community knowledge, public speaking and formal walk. “Most imporSunny Shih tantly, what we are looking for is Miss White Rock a good attitude,” said ambassador co-chair Debbie Ward. “As they go through the competition, it becomes apparent if they have a good attitude and the right spirit.” Shih will be taking over the position from Alexandra Barberis, who was crowned at last year’s festival. The new team – including Friendship Ambassador Elise Gao, Princesses Alison Nichol and Elaine Lin, as well as Ambassadors Paige Glazier, Alina Huang, Tiffany Zhang, Rachel Chen, Harrison Woo, Angel Zou and Alicia Liang– has a busy schedule ahead of them, including travelling to 11 communities and volunteering at community events. The hope is they will leave with a greater knowledge of society, community, municipal government and service clubs, Ward said. “The way I look at it, some of these kids are already perfect and there’s not much room for improvement. They are the full package already,” she said. “What we can offer is the preparation for the future. When they go to university, they need to know what needs to be done in order to make things work and the importance of getting involved at a grass-roots level.” While university is still a few years away for Shih, the accomplished violinist said the experience is one she would recommend to people of all ages. “I got to learn a lot about my community and make some really precious friends,” Shih said. “I would definitely encourage others to join the program.”

Rider suffers concussion A 13-year-old boy was airlifted to Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital Tuesday evening after he fell over a three-foot ramp on his bike and hit his head in Cloverdale. He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wearing a helmet

and suffered a concussion. Surrey RCMP said the boy was taken by air ambulance as a precaution. He had been riding at Cloverdale Youth Park, in the skateboard park area, at 4:30 p.m.

The RCMP had no further update on his condition, as of 11 a.m. Wednesday morning, but a spokesperson described it simply as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;unfortunate accident that occurred.â&#x20AC;?

Hayer speaks out against violence from page 1 â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is what God really wants us to (do), bring about solutions and think about change.â&#x20AC;? The temple will hold special prayers Sunday at 8:30 a.m. People are welcome to bring in board messages until then. Surrey-Tynehead MLA Dave Hayer, whose father Tara Singh Hayer was murdered in 1998, spoke out against the violence. Messages to be sent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was the act of a madman,â&#x20AC;? said

Hayer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it is indicative of the unacceptable level of violence, hatred and racism that regrettably still exists today. We all must, in honour of those who lost their lives, and their families, condemn this act of violence and motives behind this tragedy and work tirelessly to prevent these attacks against innocent people from happening again.â&#x20AC;? A candlelight vigil and prayers also took place Tuesday at Hindu Laxmi Narayan Mandir on 140 Street.

Open-water swim on Saturday from page 1 On Tuesday, Herdman seemed refocused on his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upcoming tilt, and went so far as to guarantee a win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come to see the flag rise,â&#x20AC;? Herdman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the job. They came here for that and the job is not finished. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be disappointed tonight because it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be gold or silver, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take a medal from this tournament.â&#x20AC;? Another Peninsula Olympian, South Surrey native Richard Weinberger, will compete in the 10-km menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open-water swim Saturday, at Londonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hyde Park. Weinberger, who now lives in Victoria, is among the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

top marathon swimmers. Last summer, he placed first in an exhibition event on the Olympic course. Another swimmer, White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hillary Caldwell, swam the 200-m backstoke last week, but did not advance to the finals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not the morning I had hoped for. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t honestly say what happened, just not my race I guess. Big thanks for all the support,â&#x20AC;? she posted on Twitter on Aug. 2. Later in the week, after Canadian Rose McLennanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goldmedal win on the trampoline and Missionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ryan Hayden won silver in the pool, Caldwell tweeted again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So great to hear our national

Flash mob wedding for Crescent Beach residents

White Rock Players’ Club will open their 68th Season with

Couple marries at Sea Fest Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

The first clue that something unusual was in the works was the number of formally dressed men and women loitering near the live stage next to the White Rock museum and archives. There were dozens of them, the men in suits and women in gowns. It was a blisteringly hot Sunday afternoon at the Spirit of the Sea Festival, and at least five photographers and one videographers were also lurking with intent. Local singersongwriter Neil Harnett was playing on stage, dropping a few hints about some kind of special event coming up. Moments after Harnett announced he was taking a break, music started playing through the stage speakers. Alina Kouneva started the dance in her wedding gown, leading a group of women on the lawn in a choreographed routine. Then it was the turn

suddenly in a place, perform an unusual and seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment, satire, and artistic expression.”

But this was hardly pointless. The music stopped playing and the couple then tied the knot onstage with marriage commissioner Gloria Gordy performing the ceremony. The two Crescent Beach residents had written their own vows, and when they were done reciting them, the just-married husband and wife launched one last dance. Afterwards, Gordy told Peace Arch News she had never officiated at a flash mob wedding. “This was a first for me,” Gordy said. “Every wedding is unique, but this is one of the most unique I’ve performed.” Gordy said the couple had planned to hold their wedding on White Rock’s west beach without realizing the festival would be underway the same day. They contacted festival organizers, who arranged to coordinate the Kouneva-Tremblay nuptials with the scheduled music show.

A name to be forgotten

he events in Wisconsin on the weekend are almost beyond comprehension. A 40-year who was bounced from the U.S. army for being drunk on duty, a whitepower skinhead, walks into a Sikh temple near Milwaukee and starts shooting. Six people die. Then the killer kills himself. It is a tragedy that is very close to home in Surrey, where many residents are members of the same faith. The gunman was quickly identified and the hunt for every available detail of his life was underway within hours of Sunday’s tragedy. We now know a lot about him. His racist comments on various online forums have been exhumed, and his career path has been traced from a military missile repairman to a psychological operations specialist to a bass player in a white-power band. With all that has been reported, we still don’t know exactly why he did what he did, and we may never find out. But his name and his history is not what needs to be remembered. The name and life we should remember is that of 65-year-old gurdwara president Satwant Kaleka, a farmer from the Duggal village of India’s Patiala district, who moved to the U.S. in 1982 and helped found the temple. It was the unarmed Kaleka who tackled the gunman at the door of the temple when the shooting started, suffering two ultimately fatal leg wounds. Kaleka delayed the killer’s entry by two minutes, giving others a chance to flee. Nor should we forget Oak Creek police Lt. Brian Murphy, who was shot nine times while tending to one of the wounded in the temple parking lot, then reportedly tried to wave off fellow officers when they came to his aid, insisting worshippers indoors needed their help more. We also need to remember 39-year-old Parkash Singh, a quiet, gentle man who served as granthi (priest) at the gurdwara for six years. And the others who died: brothers Sita Singh, 41, and Ranjit Singh, 49, Paramjit Kaur Toor, 41, and Suveg Singh, 84. The bravery of Kaleka and Murphy makes sense. Being a person of faith also makes sense. What the killer did was, by any definition, a senseless act. A man who may not have met the legal criteria for “insanity” nonetheless did something quite insane. He murdered people he did not know, and it appears he killed them simply because they were not like him. That is a particular awful sort of madness, the kind that resists understanding.

Last week we asked...

Are you watching the 2012 Summer Olympics coverage?

yes 72% no 28% 93 responding journey, realizing that these and other memories have always been there. They just needed a little nudge. Down into White Rock, past my first house – rented by my parents for $50 a month – past the barbecues and train station, a rapid series of events and faces popped into my mind. I stopped at the pier for a few seconds to wait my turn at a water fountain, and looked up toward the big house on the hill where a friend’s mother – one of White Rock’s kindest longtime residents – had passed away the day before. The seconds turned into a moment, my sweat into tears… A deep breath, and I was off again – past the rock, where I climbed; past the pub, where I socialized; and towards the now-fenced-off-park, where I served as bat-boy on my father’s ball team. There, my journey went uphill fast, just before the site of the old house where I rented a bedroom in the ’90s. Forget my history, that house – constructed for sawmill workers – had been around since the First World War, until it made way for the future just a couple of years ago. Up the hill. Legs slowing. Head spinning. Body hurting. My pastime was losing its allure. I looked up and noticed Peace Arch Hospital. Where my father and two grandparents had died. Where my three children were born. Where life, too, began for me. And I realized I must continue to run. And why the route is as important as the destination. Lance Peverley is editor of the Peace Arch News.

See the trees as your view Editor: Re: Trees should be preserved, Aug. 2 Enviro Notes column. I always look forward to reading columist Roy Strang’s intelligent and insightful words. Too bad the column now comes but once a month. I hope a lot of your readers took the time to read this particular article. Far too many trees are being removed in White Rock. It’s pathetic to read in your paper that the city allows so much tree removal just so people presumably have a better view. We/they will pay, in time, through the lack of beautiful old trees and what they do for the environment. In the third paragraph of Dr. Strang’s column, he indicates so many of the valuable reasons for maintaining our trees. I had no idea the many ways trees are so valuable to humans and habitat, etc. When I walk in and around White Rock and bus through parts of Surrey, the lack of trees is depressing. When I have the opportunity to walk through forests/woods, etc., the quiet beauty is wonderful. Can we not do something about saving more of our magnificent trees and consider their appearance as a ‘view’? Ruth Carrier, White Rock

and other wildlife that come to the fence and can be heard in the forest. I can’t express to you my shock when developers pulled up in a truck last week and began walking in the forest. Through my conversation with them and further contact with Surrey City Hall, I learned that the only protected area is the stream to my south and that my neighbouring forest will soon be home to a new townhome development, the access point being the dead end in front of my home. Aside from the false information provided to me by the sales agents, I am concerned about the habitat for these animals and wonder what thought Surrey puts into maintaining areas for wildlife. That the city is growing is great, but at what cost? There is a responsibility to maintain forested areas and habitats and not just pay lip service to it by retaining a meagre ‘buffer’ around a protected stream. Looks like Surrey is the next concrete jungle. Lisa Hodgetts, Surrey

Worth the weight: Four years after finishing fourth at the Summerr Games in Beijing, White Rock weightlifter Christine Girard finally took a step onto the podium Tuesday, winning Olympic bronze in London. see page 333

Bronze-medalist Christine Girard.

Olympian deserves more Editor: Re: Weightlifter wins Olympic bronze, Aug. 2. When was the last time an athlete from White Rock competed in the Olympics – 30-40 years ago? Christine Girard wins a bronze medal in weightlifting – an amazing accomplishment. She is on the cover of every major newspaper in Canada, and you bury her story on page 33. Shame on you! Linda Kompauer, White Rock

Leaders should lead parade Editor: I watched the parade in White Rock Saturday evening. I saw the mayor of White Rock sitting in a restaurant with his wife and friends. I stopped to say hello and then realized he was not in the parade. When I asked him why he wasn’t, his response was that the organizers didn’t want any political representatives involved. I couldn’t believe it. In my opinion, and I think many would agree, the mayor of a city or town should always be in the parade. Naturally, they should never have any material displayed that refers to a particular political leaning, but they should always be at the front since they are the leader of the community. The police should be in front of the parade but well ahead. The mayor is the leader of the community, not the police. Roger Currie, Surrey

Communicate over cell signal

Editor: I am writing regarding the mass development in South Surrey. Earlier this year, I purchased a townhome in the Rosemary Heights area and was told by the agent seller that the forested area to the east was all protected woodland, as well as an area buffering a stream to the south. I was aware of a duplicate apartment that was to be built but was told, “You will never have to worry about development beside you, the area is protected.” I purchased the home only because of the quiet forested area and the fact that, as a shift worker, such an area is integral to being able to function. Since settling into the home I have come to love the birds, deer, rabbits

The Mikelson property in South Surrey is the perfect setting for an art festival, says letter-writer D. McPherson.

Making art more easily accessible Editor: My two grandchildren and myself recently attended the Festival of the Arts, held on the grounds and in the studio of the Mind and Matter Art Gallery, owned by Mary Mikelson and family. Mary has held this wonderful festival, in memory of her husband, Arnold, a world-renowned wood carver, for a number of years now. My grandchildren and myself were amazed by the huge number of gifted art pieces at the festival, July 14-15, 21-22. Many artists were in attendance. There was pottery, jewelry, paintings, sculptures, hand-knitted apparel, carvings, porcelain, stained-glass and more. The three hours we spent there went by so very quickly, with the children ooh-ing and aah-ing over so many of the wonderful creations. We were sorry to have to leave before we could take it

all in, but we were expecting company. I don’t know when I have enjoyed an afternoon as much as that day. For me, it was delightful, euphoric, and very therapeutic. Mary’s property is the perfect setting for an art festival, it is so beautiful. The price to attend was amazing, and I compliment Mary for making it affordable for those who might otherwise be unable to attend. I don’t know of any better value for any event in our community. I paid – are you sitting down – $3 for a senior and children from 16 years of age and down are free! Next year, I plan on attending all four days of the festival. It was a wonderful, cultural experience for my grandchildren as well. Thank you, Mary Mikelson, family and volunteers. D. McPherson, Surrey

White Rock resident creates photo-sharing website

Creating a more selective social network Dan Ferguson

Staff reporter

ark Hollas is demonstrating his Internet site to a Peace Arch News reporter when the White Rock resident spots a tiny aesthetic anomaly. An element on one page is everso-slightly out of alignment and will require an adjustment by Hollas, the creator, designer and software engineer of the new photo-sharing site, Photojima.com “Did I mention it’s a beta?” Hollas says. “I know what I’ll be doing this afternoon.” Photojima takes a more selective approach to photo-sharing and social networking than its popular predecessors. Members can decide exactly who can view their pictures and comment on them. Hollas says he realized something like Photojima was needed because the 30-year-old married father-of-three was hesitant to post family pictures, especially of his children, online. “I don’t want to share my own photos on my (public) site because they’re too personal.” Hollas, a web designer, decided to build his own site with improved privacy controls. At the time, he was working in Japan, so his first version was designed to operate in English and Japanese. But before the website could be properly launched, the March 11, 2011, tsunami hit Japan, killing thousands of people and tearing apart the Fukushima power plant that proved to be too close to the Hollas family home. “Our city was dusted with nuclear fallout,” he says. The website would have to wait, while Hollas and his family dealt with the more immediate priority of returning to Canada. Now that they’ve settled in, he’s been able to find time to resume work on the site. It went live on June 11 – a ‘soft’ launch designed to give Hollas time to swat the inevitable bugs, such as the alignment issue that surfaced during the demo. The crucial stuff works just fine, he says. “It’s doing what it needs to do.” People can post photos, confident they

will have control over who can see them. “The photos that you upload are guaranteed safe,” Hollas says. “That’s the important thing. It’s a very secure server.” He’s also adding features. A few days before the interview, Hollas installed buttons that allow Facebook and Twitter users to connect. The name Photojima blends the English word ‘Photo’ and the Japanese word “Jima” meaning island, a metaphor for the tightly controlled access Hollas offers. “It’s individual-to-individual,” Hollas notes. “If you’re not a set person, you’ll never be able to see (someone else’s photos).” The website explains the approach: “You can welcome the people important to you onto your ‘Islands’ for them to enjoy as well. Once a friend is on your ‘Island,’ you can allow them to add their own pictures too! Since this is your zone, only you and the friends on your Island can see those pictures…” Hollas says his target clients are people he describes as “picture-takers” – individuals who want to share snapshots who may not have a lot of technical knowledge – as well as people who would like to view those same snapshots without fussing with a complicated interface. “…so that Grandma and Grandpa, who may not have a lot of computer skills, can see it with only a few clicks.” The site also offers a way for children to post pics, with precise parental controls that limit their audience to family members only. The free version of the site restricts users to web-quality versions of their photos. But the full-quality versions can be accessed at any time for a fee. Hollas is hoping other people will find it an attractive business model. “We’re hoping we can rustle up some investment capital,” he says. The site can be visited online at www. photojima.com It may be part of a wider trend to more selective social media. A number of recent news articles, including a May 19 Economist magazine piece, have noted a rise in networks that allow users a greater degree of control over who sees their postings.

As a child of the ‘60s, I long for the sound of silence. I know I will get my wish when I am dead and gone, but while I am still breathing, I have found a solution. Right here in my own back yard. Right here in Surrey. Surrey is home to some of the most beautiful parks in the Lower Mainland. I had the pleasure of strolling through Green Timbers Urban Forest Park and was greeted by the sound of birdsong. An idyllic and peaceful walk through a verdant and natural parkland.

for a few moments and listen as sounds of the forest come to life around you. According to the promotional brochure, the majority of Green Timbers is a mix of coniferous and deciduous forest, a mosaic of replanted and naturally regenerated areas. Forest, meadows, lake and wetland. All I know is, it is blissfully quiet. So, take some time away from the chaos of life and enjoy one of Surrey’s treasures. Surrey may proclaim The Future Lives Here, but in reality it is still the City of Parks. Silence is not only golden… it is green.

lifestyles Surrey to receive Heritage BC award for restoration

The City of Surrey is receiving accolades for the restoration of a designated heritage site. Kensington Prairie Elementary School in South Surrey was the focus of a renovation project commissioned by the city, repurposing the nearly 100-year-old school into a “holistic community centre to serve the needs of the growing neighbourhood,” Mayor Dianne Watts said in a news release Monday. The restoration project turning the school into the Kensington Prairie Community Centre has earned the city the 2012 Heritage BC Award for Outstanding Achievement, the organizations highest honour, which will be presented to the city in the fall. At the helm of the project was Taylor Kurtz Architecture and Design Inc., who worked with a heritage consultant to design exterior and interior renovations

Where possible, exterior defining elements of the school, which closed its doors in 2006, were repaired and reinstated to their original location. The building, which dates back to 1914, also received a fresh coat

Work-experience opportunity was cancelled in March

Barista program revived perspectives …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Popular barista program shutting down due to federal budget cuts

Coffee mates lament loss of program Jennifer Lang

Black Press

taff and students at Cloverdale Learning Centre can’t believe a popular, successful job training program for at-risk youth is coming to an end. Last week, a few of them joined participants and supporters of the Baristas Skills Link Program as they gathered for a final farewell at the Guildford Youth Resource Centre. It’s an untimely wrap-up for an awardwinning program that was held up as a model by B.C.’s business community and helped brew job success for hundreds of youth in Surrey, Cloverdale and Langley over the past decade. Offered through Pacific Community Resources Society and Starbucks Coffee Canada, the Baristas Skills Link Program was a unique partnership between a social services agency, the private sector, the Surrey School District and the federal government. The agency is at a loss to explain why the federal government has decided it will no longer support the program. It was designed to give students like Cloverdale’s Paige Ferguson, 18, and Langley’s Dain Leguerrier, 17, a foot in the door of the labour market by helping them overcome barriers to employment. They completed the program last week as part of the final intake. Both are disappointed to learn the program won’t be continuing. Participants go through an intensive, sixweek life skills program, followed by a nineweek, paid work placement at Starbucks, where they are treated like any other employee and held to the same expectations. “We are trained and treated like any other barista,” Leguerrier said. Now that he’s completed the program, he’s re-applied to work at Starbucks while he continues his studies at Cloverdale Learning Centre. “I think I look at myself and others in a completely different way,” he said. “I have a new outlook on life, my goals, self-definition, self-discipline, and how to go about getting employment.” Susan Johnson, the career development

Paige Ferguson, 18, and Dain Leguerrier, 17, are among the last graduates of the Baristas Skills Link Program that helped at-risk youth. facilitator at Cloverdale Learning Centre, said the baristas program went deeper than other youth employment programs. “These are kids who come from abusive homes, no homes, and have multiple barriers, whether it’s addiction, or lack of self-esteem,” she said. Baristas program supervisor Siobahn Pires learned in November federal funding would be coming to an end. “We weren’t given an exact reason,” she said. “Our funding has always come through at

the 11th hour. This came as a surprise.” Although the program was launched in Surrey in 2003, more recently participants came from all over the Lower Mainland after the Vancouver barista program and a pilot project in North Vancouver were closed down. “We were told they were no longer funding duplicate programs,” Pires said. Over the past decade, 370 students completed the barista program – 232 from the Surrey area. The society receives roughly 70 to 80 applications per session. With only

10 seats available at a time, some 195 youth are turned away each year. “It’s frustrating,” Pires said. “There’s going to be a lot of people looking for services that just aren’t available now.” She praised Starbucks for standing up for the community’s youth and sticking with the program over the years. “Starbucks just provides a really open, nonjudgmental environment for them to learn. That’s been huge. They’re really working with our youth. A lot of employers aren’t willing to take a chance.”

Community Career Employment Society, which offers the BladeRunners youth employment program, and the B.C. Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation. Staff and supporters are feeling relief, said PCS’s Ryan Paulson. “We’ve had this program since 2003,” he said. “It makes such a difference for the youths who enrol. You go to a ton of graduation ceremonies and you could see the life-altering impact. It was a shame to lose it.” As word spread about the program’s demise, “people just kind of came knocking on our door” with offers of help, Paulson said. “That led to discussions on what we could do to get it going.” The new funding doesn’t match previous levels, so only one fulltime staffer can be hired instead of two. see page 18

The trumpeter’s 15 year-old grandson, Ethan Honeywell, is taking over drums from vacationing Scott

Robertson. This Sunday (Aug. 12), another grandson, trumpeter Alex Honeywell, 17, will join the lineup, while his father, Keith, may also sit in on trombone. The Aug. 19 session will be highlighted by two guests from Arizona, stride pianist Cheryl Thurston and cornetist Gary Church.

Revival perked Many graduates have been offered jobs at Starbucks upon completion. Paulson said the program is a solid example of how multisector partnerships can work: the school district provides school credit for the participants, the service agencies help deliver the program, and a corporation provides work experience and often permanent jobs for graduates. “It really gives them a chance to turn things around in a critical point in their lives,” he said.

Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sonja Mohrsen. came from a stop we made to buy doughnuts while riding one yearâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; and has stuck with us. We like to dress things up a bit. One year we brought doughnuts to Trek to emphasize our name. Another year we wore spare bicycle tires around our necks, but that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very comfortable! Now we wear â&#x20AC;&#x153;Krispy Kremeâ&#x20AC;? cycling jerseys.â&#x20AC;? To get in shape for the ride Mohrsen rides her bike to work:

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 10-kilometre ride with a couple of hills that are real doozies.â&#x20AC;? Trek itself is designed for everyone from the occasional rider to the experienced cyclist. Recalling her first time tackling the 200km ride, Mohrsen advises new participants to â&#x20AC;&#x153;just enjoy the ride rather than trying to race.â&#x20AC;? Each participant is required to raise a minimum donation of $475 by event day. In return, they travel a fully supported route from start to finish, with rest stops and food to fuel their journey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People of all ages from all walks of life take it upon themselves to volunteer and raise funds in support of lung health through the BC Lung Association,â&#x20AC;? says Chris Lam, BC Lung Association development manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More important than anything else is the genuine care and effort everyone puts in â&#x20AC;&#x201C; participants and volunteers alike â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is truly inspiring.â&#x20AC;?

Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sonja Mohrsen is gearing up to participate in the BC Lung Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 28 annual Bicycle Trek for Life and Breath next month. An exhilarating 200-kilometre scenic ride from White Rock to Cultus Lake, Sept. 8-9, Trek is an annual BC Lung Association fundraiser in support of lung health and clean air. A veteran â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trekker,â&#x20AC;? this will be the 16th time Mohrsen participates. She does it to honour her mother, who passed away from lung cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a beautiful ride, and because the BC Lung Association takes care of all the logistical details, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonderful, worry-free weekend in the outdoors,â&#x20AC;? said Mohrsen, who rides with her Trek team, Spare Tires. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look forward to seeing everyone every September. Trek is like an annual family reunion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spare Tires â&#x20AC;&#x201C; our team name -

Eleganté Shoes Walk into Elegante Shoes in Peninsula’s own Semiahmoo Shopping Centre on any given day and chances are you will see a happy customer leaving with a pair of fabulous shoes. That’s because, as the oldest Drew & Scott Robb footwear store on the Peninsula, the family-owned business has been providing top-quality selection paired with a knowledgeable sales team for the last 26 years. “It’s all about knowing who your customer is,” owner Scott Robb says. “Retail has become very challenging in the last couple of years, due to the ups and downs of the economy, but our selection and service is what really sets us apart.” With an international selection of shoes for both men and women of all ages, Elegante is the place to go to ﬁnd a pair of shoes that is a perfect ﬁt. “European products are our specialty, but most importantly, quality is our mantra,” Robb said. With September just around the corner, you’ll want to head over to Elegante and check out the fall selection. And while no one wants to think about rain and puddles, the cooler months ahead are the perfect time to showcase a new pair of boots. According to Scott, everything from tall boots to short, lace-up boots are going to be on trend, in colours such as plums, navys and greys. But even though Elegante is always keeping an eye out for the latest style, they have built a reputation on timeless, high-quality footwear from brands like Stuart Weiztman, Ecco, Clarks, Josef Siebel, Naot and VanEli. “We don’t always go for what’s super trendy at the moment because we aren’t really interested in what’s going on today and gone tomorrow,” says Scott. “We are about classical styles and always have been.” For a wide selection of high-quality footwear and the best customer service around, visit Elegante Shoes and see why they’ve been voted #1 for footwear on the Peninsula several times.

Arthritis? Diabetes? Fibromyalgia? Aches? Pains? Not Sleeping?

Heritage Beds For more than 25 years, Mark Nagra has been providing people a great night’s rest by helping them select the best mattress suited for their needs.

T3 RECOVERY MATTRESSES

Now, after purchasing Heritage Beds, following the retirement of the longtime owners, Nagra and his team will bring their expertise to Peninsula residents.

Ironman Mattresses with Celiant® and Cellitex® have been proven in clinical test to reduce pain, increase oxygen levels, and help balance body temperature. Each of these results can have added benefits, including faster healing, increased performance, better quality sleep and improved overall wellness; all of which can help alleviate the symptoms of arthritis and peripheral vascular disease often associated with diabetes. The key to Celliant® lies in its ability to absorb and store electromagnetic (energy) emissions from the human body and release them where they are reabsorbed into the skin and deep muscle tissue, they act as catalysts for natural, biological processes resulting in enhanced oxygen levels, and more balanced body temperature during sleep, rest or physical activity.

The family-run business not only brings a wealth of experience to the Peninsula. Heritage Beds will be one of the exclusive suppliers of the Iron Man T3 Recovery Mattress.

Mark Nagra

Only eight factories in the world produce the mattress, which was made available to Canada in May 2011.

The revolutionary design of the mattress helps sooth aches and pains and is beneﬁcial to those who suffer from diabetes. “It produces higher levels of oxygenated blood ﬂow. It helps you heal and it helps you recover, which is what sleep is for,” Nagra said. “Once we saw this, we knew we had to spread the information about the product. It’s amazing.”

Clinical Testing done by University of California, University of Indianapolis, University of Chicago, University of Texas, University of Alberta, plus more!

The mattresses come with a 20 year warranty, they do not sag or make body impressions and they are made from natural products like latex, which comes from trees, Nagra said. “People who have allergies or asthma should sleep on latex, it lasts ﬁve to six times longer than regular mattresses, it doesn’t sleep hot like other mattresses because of it’s open air technology, and there are no concerns over dust mites, mold, fungus or mildew,” Nagra said.

Natural Latex in the Ironman Mattress is inherently hypo-allergenic, anti-microbial, and dust mite resistant, making it the perfect mattress for allergey sufferers, or anyone wanting to breathe the fresh, clean air while they sleep. In addition, natural latex is breathable, keeping you warmer in the winter, and cooler in the summer. It will provide you with the perfect balance of comfort and support for years to come.

Since stocking the mattress, reaction has been tremendous. In fact, Nagra is so conﬁdent in the mattresses that he offers clients an unprecedented 200 days to return or exchange the mattress. And it’s not just the Iron Man T3 Recovery Mattress that is backed by Nagra. All other mattresses come with a 120-day return/exchange policy. “We want our customers happy. All people want is quality product, with good service, and we provide just that,” Nagra said. “We specialize in mattresses that improve your health.” All mattress sets come with free delivery, free set-up and removal of an old mattress. “We take the mattresses to the recycling plant on Annacis Island, or if they are not soiled and in good condition, we donate them to Rags in Richmond,” Nagra said. Best of all, Nagra focuses on providing local, made-in-Canada products.

Now Available in Canada

“There is no one like us that supports local suppliers as much as we do,” Nagra said. “How can we expect White Rock to shop local, if we don’t? Almost all of our products are made in Canada, primarily B.C. For example, Natura natural and organic mattresses and Sealy are made in Canada. Restwell, Serta, Springair, Ironman Mattresses are made right here in B.C. We also have B.C. Made bedroom suites arriving in the near future.”

To make a dramatic impact to your walls Lenea Belzer, of Hillcrest Decorating and Lenea Belzer Peninsula Paints, suggests trying an old idea made fresh with wallpaper. With a wide range of patterns to choose from, including lines created by popular designers like Candice Olsen and Kenneth James, you’ll never have to worry about having dated wallpaper. “Wallpaper is perfect to make a dramatic statement in a powder room, dining room or to be used as a feature wall in a master bedroom,” Belzer said. “Painting or adding wallpaper to a room is a cost effective way to change the look of your space, and it allows you to add a bit of your personality to your house.” If wallpaper isn’t what you had in mind, Belzer suggests trying the Colour Stories pallet for the interior of your home. The colours are specially designed for interior design projects and uses 5-7 pigments without using gray or black, Belzer said. “This gives the colour more depth as well as greater clarity, which gives you one-of-a-kind colour that is almost unmatchable,” she said. And if the exterior is where you want to focus on, the most popular products at Hillcrest Decorating and Peninsula Paints are Aura and Regal. “The main beneﬁts of Aura are its exceptional colour retention and its built-in primer, which gives you the same protection as two coats of regular house paint,” Belzer said. And for staining your fence or deck, Belzer suggests Arborcoat Waterborne Stain, which comes in many different levels of opacity. For any more questions, come ask the experts at Hillcrest Decorating or Peninsula Paint.

Potters Garden Centre Whether you’re an avid gardener who’s up on everything or a putterer who enjoys mucking around the flowerbeds every once in a while, Potters is probably your first stop on a sunny Saturday. Regulars will already know the Cam and Scott managers at the two Potters locations in South Surrey but perhaps not much about them. Cam Martin started with Potters in 1992. He showed up with a friend who was already working for us because we needed help unloading trucks. At the end of the week, we kept Cam and fired his friend. They still talk, which we find amazing. When we opened our 72nd Ave store a year later, we made Cam the manager. If I remember right, no one else wanted the job. Cam was instrumental in starting our House of Horrors Hallowe’en attraction and oversees it every year. When our Ocean Park store opened, we moved Cam over to manage that store, much to the disappointment of his long time customers at 72nd Ave. Cam is also our General Manager and spends a portion of time visiting growers to earmark the best plants for our stores. He is hopelessly addicted to Tim Horton’s but refuses counselling. We tried an intervention, but wouldn’t you know it….someone brought coffee. Scott Pasternak has a wealth of experience in pond design and landscaping in general. He came to us in 2005 and we jumped at the chance to finally have someone on staff who knew something about plants. Scott is a Certified Horticultural Technician, having attended the BC School of Horticulture (and because of his extremely high marks we assume he was awake during most of his classes.) I recall his first day with us when he astounded us all by explaining what the 3 numbers on a bag of fertilizer meant. Up ‘til then we all thought it was a secret Scientology code. Convinced we had a winner, we made him assistant manager of the 152nd Store almost immediately. In 2009 he became the Manager of the 152nd St. location. Oh…..and Scott has very neat printing

Art Knapp Plantland There’s no better way to turn your backyard into a personal paradise than by adding a hot tub. The simple addition is like adding your own resort, without ever having to leave your home. And for those who are looking to transform their green space into a backyard oasis, South Surrey Art Knapp Plantland is the place to go. Kerry Vanderzalm The family business, serving White Rock and South Surrey for four generations, has the largest selection of Beachcomber hot tubs in Western Canada. With more than 50 models on the floor at all times, the unbeatable selection will ensure you find the hot tub best suited for you. And when you’re shopping, Art Knapp Plantland owner Kerry Vanderzalm has a few suggestions and tips to keep in mind. “I would avoid any old-style hot tub with a wooden cabinet because the water spilling from the hot tub and our rainy coastal weather will age a wooden cabinet very quickly,” Vanderzalm said, suggesting synthetic wood as an alternative. “We will give you the information that you want and let you decide what is right for you and I will personally make free house calls if you are not sure about what model will work for you.” The hot tub expert also advises people to do their homework. Whether that includes inquiring about the factory guarantee, service reputation, looking at online reviews or checking with the Better Business Bureau. “Not all hot tub warrantees are created equal. Buy Canadian-made, you will be happy that you did if you need some service work done,” Vanderzalm said. Another important factor: energy efficiency. A good hot tub should operate for between $10-20 in power consumption per month, while a cheap one can run up to five times that amount. “Look for 100 per cent foam-filled insulation in the cabinet and make sure the bottom of the tub is well-sealed to keep out cold, dampness and rodents,” Vanderzalm said. After you’ve found your perfect match, all that’s left to do is enjoy your hot tub, which can be used 365 days out of the year. “I have owned a Beachcomber Hot Tub for over 25 years and I am in mine almost every day,” Kerry said, noting Beachcomber hot tubs are made right in Surrey, since 1978. “The novelty has never worn off for me and my family.” For more information on hot tubs, come down to Art Knapp Plantland and talk to Kerry.

Black Bond Books For decades, people on the Peninsula have gone to Black Bond Books to find their favourite page-turners. The first, of what is now 12 locations, opened in Brandon, Manitoba in 1977 with Madeline Neill at the helm. The name, a combination of Celia Black and Catherine Bond – the great-grandmothers of current president Cathy Jesson – is a perfect example of what the business is all about. Cathy Jesson “We’re family-owned and run, and my daughter Caitlin is now the third generation of booksellers. She is running our newest location in Vancouver, which we recently purchased from Book Warehouse,” Jesson said. Next year, Black Bond Books will celebrate a milestone 50 years in business, and what better way to celebrate than by offering the outstanding selection and service the company is known for. Jesson, who frequently travels all over the globe to find the best books to stock the shelves of the two Peninsula locations, and frontline buyer Lynn Lockhart, have their fingers on the literary pulse to discover the latest best-seller. “Lynn has been with us for years and it’s like she is psychic. She looks in her crystal ball and she can find what people want,” Jesson said, noting that while independent bookstores all over Metro Vancouver close their doors, Black Bond Books continues to expand; a testament to all the hard work the family has put in to their company. “So many neighbourhoods have lost their local bookstore, and now there is an awareness of how important it is to support local businesses,” Jesson said. With knowledgeable staff to help customers get exactly what they need, Jesson is proud to know the same standard of service she expects is what customers receive. “The people we have onboard, some have been with us for 25 years. And in retail, that’s amazing. And it’s because they love the business, which is vitally important to the store. Our team loves to find that book for you and put it in your hand, giving you that ‘Aha’ moment.” With all the community support the company gets, Jesson said it’s important to give back to the community. For more than 12 years, the company has been giving books away through the Feed the Mind program, helping children spark their passion for reading. “This is a tight-knit community and a very supportive one, and that’s why we have two locations on the Peninsula,” Jesson said. “Our community supports us, and we support them.”

White Rock Players Club

White Rock Player’s Club 68th Season 2012 - 2013

The White Rock Players’ Club is pleased to announce its 68th Season of comedy, drama and thrills, and the return of productions from other popular local companies. “We’ll again be hosting shows by Fighting Chance, Peninsula Productions and the Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society,” said WRPC Dave Baron President Dave Baron. “We enjoy providing a venue for a variety of entertainment for our patrons.” This month will see a co-production between WRPC and Fighting Chance, presenting the hit musical Little Shop of Horrors Aug. 8-25. The regular WRPC season kicks off in October with Who Walks in the Dark, gothic horror from a Bram Stoker story. December will see Pinocchio, White Rock’s 58th Pantomime, by Dave Baron. For the uninitiated, a “Panto” is a light musical comedy with slapstick, double-meanings, satire and audience participation, suitable for all ages. In February, the Club will present The Good Game, in which an oldtimer hockey club has to face a much younger team. Then the hilarious comedy Fools by Neil Simon will show in April; a schoolteacher finds love in a village of hopeless idiots. The season will close with the classic murder mystery Ten Little Indians, by Agatha Christie, in June. Ticket prices are still an amazingly good value at $18 for adults, and $16 discount (seniors, students and Coast Capital Savings members). Season passes are even better value – $80 adults, $70 discount, for all five regular season shows! You can reserve your seats for each show on our interactive and easy-to-use online system. Your tickets will be waiting at the box office, just present your booking confirmation before the show. If you prefer, come to the box office and meet Nicole, who will be happy to help you.

Arthur Murray Dance Studio Whether you’ve been dancing all your life and want a new challenge, or you simply want to take an introductory dancing class, Arthur Murray Dance Studio in White Rock has something for you. The talented and experienced team, led by owners Grant and Dawn O’Kane, can help you spruce up your waltz or try a bit of salsa, all while enjoying the company of others in a social environment. “Our Dawn & Grant O’Kane main focus is to create that ability to enjoy dancing in a relaxed and fun way,” said Grant. “There’s nothing to be nervous about. Dancing is just walking to music. All we do is help add a bit of timing and bit of patterns.” Since opening its doors in 2003, the studio has helped countless individuals – from students who want to make dance a hobby, to those who are just looking to get fit to individuals looking to compete or perform. The majority of students are mainly wanting to be comfortable social dancing. “It’s a great healthy activity, and its benefits are not only physical, but mental, emotional and social, as well,” Grant said. “We have people of all ages, from six-years-old to 93 years old who come in.” In fact, dancing may be better for your health than you think. According to Grant, research has proven that ballroom dancing can help with the prevention of Alzheimer’s as it’s making the brain work with the body to remember and execute the steps. Dancing can also help those recovering from injury or those with physical and mental disabilities work on balance, co-ordination and of course, confidence. “Pretty much everybody leaves here smiling. I always like to say, unfortunately to develop a skill, it takes time and money. But your smiles are free and they’re priceless” Grant said. And for those who are getting ready to tie the knot, the studio team can help make that first dance as a married couple as flawless and comfortable as possible. Arthur Murray has a wide range of programs, from the basics to an extravagant choreographed dance to mark the day. “With your first dance, it’s the only time, other than the proceeding, that you get to look into each other’s eyes,” Grant said. “It doesn’t matter where you are in life or your abilities, you can learn. Last week, we had a woman in a wheelchair who had come in with her son to learn a dance. That was amazing and very inspiring.” Best of all, for those who have cold feet about taking dancing lessons, Grant and the team offer a free introductory lesson, with no obligation. “It’s not challenging or difficult, it’s just a new skill to learn,” Grant said. “Arthur Murray’s mission statement is “changing people’s lives through dancing” and that’s what we aim to do.

Laser Body Sculpting Wellness Clinic More and more people are discovering the benefits of Laser Body Sculpting utilizing the ZeronaTM cold laser, which has been FDAapproved for non-invasive body contouring, fat loss and inch- loss treatment. Watching what you eat and getting regular exercise are important components of a healthy lifestyle, but don’t always result in the reduction of unwanted bulges. Deborah was in her early fifties. Dr. Bill Russell maintained a healthy diet and exercised regularly, but developed a tummy bulge that wouldn’t go away. “I’ve been active in fitness all my life, but I couldn’t get rid of that stubborn bulge with my tummy. I guess it’s a function of aging. Things got loose as I got older,” she said. The Zerona laser creates temporary small openings in the fat cell wall, which allows the fat to flow into the surrounding tissue. It is then picked up by the lymphatic and circulatory system and is naturally excreted out of the body. The Zerona laser does not heat, kill or do anything else but make a temporary pore in the cell wall, which allows the fat to be eliminated naturally. Deborah was determined to flatten her tummy and didn’t want invasive surgery, so she did some research and found the Laser Body sculpting Clinics. “It was like a trip to the spa. I fell asleep during the treatment. It was so effective and easy I went back for a second set of sessions,” she said. Having undergone the laser fat reduction process, today Deborah has the body she knew was possible. “That stuff hanging over my waist. It’s not there anymore! The Zerona treatments are not a replacement for exercise, but it takes the fat away from the areas that I just couldn’t change with exercise. I can now wear hipster jeans without worrying!” Dr. Russell explains,”As we age, most people find that diet and exercise aren’t always enough to halt the accumulation of body fat. A large percentage of both men and women are dealing with excessive or deficient hormonal levels. Cortisol and insulin are two common hormones which can interfere with fat metabolism. We additionally test for metabolic imbalances, food sensitivities, and the effects that stress have on your ability to lose inches and be healthier.” For more information see www.laserbodysculpting.ca or call their office at 604-535-4003 for a free consultation appointment.

that one actor could be used in all these roles. It works really, really well.” Nick Fontaine, who provides the voice for Audrey II, has just finished playing the role of Richie Valens in The Buddy Holly Story in Regina, Mooney said. “He’s done a few shows with us – he’s one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. He’s got this crazy, great, booming voice. He’s this 5 foot 10 inch Caucasian and you would never guess that voice would come out of him.” Operating the various puppet incarnations of Audrey II is Spencer Shearman, stepping in for the previously-announced Adam Olgui, who had to withdraw due to a scheduling conflict. “Spencer helped us out backstage recently for Lend Me A Tenor in White Rock, and I asked him if he’d like to operate the puppets. He’s getting to play around with them – it’s really fun.” Fellow White Rock resident Nicole Stevens (featured in last year’s Nunsense) returns as one of the three Doo Wop Girls – the others are Ria Manansala and Veronika Sztopa – who act as a close harmony Greek chorus for the plot developments. “They’ve really bonded – they’ve got great chemistry,” Mooney said. He’s equally enthusiastic about his creative team, which includes such trusted frequent collaborators as costumer Oriana Camporese and musical director Vashti Fairbairn, plus emerging local set design star Andrea Olund (Lend Me A Tenor, The Mousetrap) and choregrapher Angela Cotton. “It’s her first time choreographing a show of this size, but she’s an accomplished ballroom and latin dance teacher as well as a performer herself,” Mooney said. “She’s really taken the show on, and has done a fantastic job choreographing it with funky dance moves for the Doo-Wop Girls, and lots of fun for the other cast, too.” For tickets and information, visit www.whiterockplayers.ca or call 604-536-7535.

arts & entertainment Weekend event draws 40,000 people

2012 Spirit of the Sea Festival a ‘great success’ Alex Browne Staff Reporter

A paddleboard race, a markedly local entertainment roster and a torchlight parade minus the usual politicians were notable features of the Spirit of the Sea Festival. And although numbers of attendees were down from projected figures – in spite of blue skies and blazing sun Saturday and Sunday – festival director Matt Todd said this week that he counts this year’s edition of the community volunteerrun event as “a great success.” “Everybody seemed to be having fun and all the events were successfully deployed,” he said Tuedsay. Todd acknowledged, however, that attendance was “actually pretty low” – by rough estimates some 40,000 people over the weekend as opposed to the 60,000 anticipated. “There were a number of other events in the Lower Mainland on the same days, and, with the incredibly hot weather, people might have been off visiting other vacation spots,” he said. Todd also guessed that, even with shuttle service to the beach from uptown parking lots, uncertainty over parking and access may have deterred other potential visitors. But Todd said he was pleased at the way Saturday’s pared-down torchlight parade came together, even though a shortage of volunteers meant that nobody was spe-

cifically detailed to organize it until two weeks before the festival. Acknowledging that this year’s parade was “an experiment,” he said he was pleased by the success of efforts – in partnership with White Rock RCMP – to keep Marine Drive traffic flowing freely until shortly before the parade began on Saturday night. “I was shooting for a parade that was half an hour long and it ended up being 45 minutes,” Todd said, adding that he feels that parades in previous years, have been too long. The absence of local politicians in this year’s parade was not a political statement, Todd hastened to add. “One of the early decisions was to take out all of the parade entries that were just people sitting in cars – and that’s mostly elected people – to concentrate on actual floats and marching bands,” he said. Consultations with local politicians’ offices prior to the parade revealed some disappointment, but a willingness to co-operate to streamline the parade, he said. “They understood, but (South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP) Russ Hiebert has already promised to make a full float for next year. (Surrey White-Rock MLA) Gordon Hogg said he’s going to be making an extra special effort to have a really cool vehicle for the parade – and I think next year we’ll have the mayor as parade marshall.”

arts & entertainment Tribute performances for Buddy Holly and Abba

Blasts from the past for Coast Capital Playhouse Alex Browne Arts Reporter

They’re tuneful, they’re nostalgic – and they routinely sell out the Coast Capital Playhouse. Rock.It Boy Entertainment promoter Rob Warwick has found a winner of late with tribute shows that recreate the sound and look of some of the great entertainers of the past six decades. Recent shows have celebrated such diverse artists as Elton John, Patsy Cline, Billy Joel and Johnny Cash – and the next two Rock.It Boy extravaganzas will evoke the appeal of two equally legendary acts. On Friday, Aug. 31, at 7:30 p.m., Victoria-based musician and impressionist Johnny Vallis will present A Tribute to Buddy Holly – The Show He Never Gave. Then, on Friday, Sept. 14, at 7:30 p.m., the music and magic of Swedish super group Abba will be saluted by Peninsulabased band Abra Cadabra. Holly – a singer and songwriter from Lubbock, Texas who made a pair of heavy horn-rim glasses a trademark – is recognized as a pioneer of rock n’ roll and pop music who has become an enduring and iconic presence in the years since his death. Although he was only 23 when he died in a plane crash in 1959

Vallis’ performance seeks to recapture both the look and sound of Holly in a ‘what might have been’ concert featuring his greatest hits – including That’ll Be The Day, Words Of Love, Not Fade Away, Oh Boy, Peggy Sue, Maybe Baby, Rave On! and Heartbeat. The Toronto-born Vallis origi-

nally started his show business career at an early age wanting to be an Elvis impersonator, but, after moving to B.C. switched to Holly on the advice of Randy Friske, who ultimately played Elvis to Vallis’ Holly in the longrunning touring show Legends of Rock n’ Roll. His repertoire of impressions also includes such diverse talents as Mick Jagger, Louis Armstrong, Dean Martin, Garth Brooks, John Lennon, the Bee Gees and Gordon Lightfoot. Not an impersonation per se, the work of Abra Cadabra aims to recreate and celebrate the music of Abba in a “fresh, respectful and classy way.” But audiences can expect a high-energy show complete with powerful vocals, strong musicianship, costumes and dancers, bringing a live presence to such favourite Abba hits as Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen, Fernando, Waterloo, Does Your Mother Know, S.O.S., Take A Chance On Me and Knowing Me Knowing You. Tickets for A Tribute To Buddy Holly are $39.50, while advance tickets for Abra Cadabra are $42.50. Tickets to both events are available from Coast Capital Playhouse (604-536-7535) or at www. whiterockplayers.ca

Adam Svensson shoots final round of 64 to win tournament

South Surrey golfer snags Canadian junior title Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

South Surrey golfer Adam Svensson fired a final-round 64 to hold off defending champion Kevin Kwon and capture the 2012 Canadian Junior Boys Golf Championship Friday in Nova Scotia. Svensson – a past Canadian juvenile, B.C. junior and Callaway Junior World champion – finished with a four-round score of 283, good for one-under par. He was the only golfer to finish the tournament under par. “It feels amazing,” said Svensson, 18, who will continue his golf career at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas next season. “I’ve tried to win this tournament for four years now. I’ve been close, but finally it came. “The win definitely gives me confidence going forward in my golf career.”

Adam Svensson won the Canadian Junior Boys Golf Championship on Friday. He had to overcome a tough opening round, in which he shot a four-over par 74 at the 6,601-yard, par-71 Osprey Ridge Golf

Club in Bridgewater, N.S., which put him in a tie for 47th place. The first-round leaders – Pitt Meadows’ Kwon and Ontario golfers Truman Tai and Daniel Luftspring – were one-under par after the first round Tuesday, leaving Svensson, a Earl Marriott Secondary grad, significant ground to make up over the final three rounds. Svensson shot a two-under par 69 in Wednesday’s second round – which includes three birdies and just one bogey – before struggling again in Round 3, with a round of 75 that included four bogeys on the front nine. Heading into Friday’s final round, Svensson and Kwon were tied for the lead, but the South Surrey golfer played a bogey-free round – and made seven birdies – to win by two strokes.

Other Surrey golfers in the Canadian Junior Championship field included Donald Qui, who tied for 30th, and Coltan Dorian and Jaesung Choi, both of whom missed the cut. Svensson was third in last year’s championship, 12 strokes behind Kwon, who won the tournament handily, 11 shots better than the second-place finisher. The victory is the first for Svensson this summer, who earlier in the season tied for ninth at the B.C. Amateur Championships, and helped pace Canada to a second-place showing in the team competition at the 2012 Toyota Junior Golf World Cup. This week, Svensson is competing in the 2012 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship in Ontario. The tournament started Tuesday, and wraps up tomorrow (Friday).

More than 50 paddleboarders took part in Sunday’s Sundog Semiahmoo SUP 7K Classic, which was part of the Spirit of the Sea Festival.

Second event planned for New Year’s Day

Paddleboarders ‘stoked’ with race Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

More than 50 paddleboarders from around the Pacific Northwest brought their boards to White Rock on the weekend, taking part in the Sundog Semiahmoo SUP 7K Classic. The event, part of the Spirit of the Sea Festival, was held in Semiahmoo Bay Sunday morning, and – aided by the hot, sunny weather – was met with warm regard from the competitiors, race organizer Scott Robertson said. “They were all stoked,” he said.

BETHAET HEAT

“It was outstanding, really – an amazing race. “It was probably the hottest day of the year, and the water was glassy and perfect.” Beau Whitehead was the first to cross the finish line, completing the course in 49 minutes. The quickest female paddler was Shannon Bell, who finished in 55 minutes. The reception for the race – which was a late addition to the Sea festival lineup – has Robertson convinced next year’s event will be even more popular among competitive paddleboarders, many of whom compete on a B.C. circuit.

Summer Sale

“It was pretty unreal support from all the racers – they’re all very excited to come back next year. I think we’ll probably be able to double the number (of competitors),” Robertson explained. Robertson, who owns and operates South Surrey’s Sundog Adventure Sports, is also planning a second White Rock race, which will be held in colder conditions – on Jan. 1. “We’re calling it the Polar Bear Paddle,” he explained, adding that the new race will be shorter than last weekend’s seven-km event.

A South Surrey father-and-son team reeled in a record-setting tuna last month, at the East Cape Bisbee Fishing Tournament in Los Cabos, Mexico. Mike Loynes, along with son Lucas and American fisherman Shaun Speer, were aboard a 30-foot boat named “Awesome” when they landed a 262-pound yellow fin tuna with an hour to go on the final day of the three-day competition. The fish, which took more than three hours to land, netted them a $78,000 prize. It was so large that a front-end loader was needed to bring the fish from the dock to the scales.

WRCA’s Sam Ykema and his Warrior teammates will be among the high school basketball squads taking part in a new December tournament.

WRCA to play in new hoops tourney Gary Ahuja Black Press

Some of the top B.C. senior high school basketball teams — as well as an American powerhouse prep school — will be tipping off at an elite tournament in Langley this December. The Langley Events Centre will host the Tsumara Basketball Invitational on Dec. 1 and 2. The tournament is named after Howard Tsumara, a veteran high school and university sports reporter who has been covering the beat for The Province since 1990. Some of the local teams slated to

take part include the Brookswood Bobcats senior girls team, which finished fourth at the AAA provincial championships in 2012 and feature a strong core of returning players. On the boys’ side, both the silver and bronze medallists — the Walnut Grove Gators and the White Rock Christian Warriors — from the 2012 AAA tournament will be playing. Both teams are considered among the frontrunners for the 2013 B.C. title and are excited to face a team the calibre of Findlay Prep. “Obviously, these are some of the see page 50

Top U.S. prep squad to play from page 49 top players in all of high school basketball,” said Walnut Grove coach George Bergen, whose squad returns all but two players from last season’s team. “This is very exciting news for the B.C. basketball community, to get a glimpse of what ball south of the border looks like at its highest level. “It’ll be a great challenge and one that I’d like to thank the LEC for organizing.” Findlay Prep finished last season with a 32-1 record and as the number two ranked team in the country. In the past three years, the Henderson, Nevada school has produced three first-round draft picks to the National Basketball Association. “We are extremely excited and honoured to be part of this event; our students will have a great opportunity to experience this part of Canada and be able to

perform in an excellent venue,” said Findlay Prep associate head coach Todd Simon. The expected roster for the American team should feature three of ESPN’s Top 100 high school basketball recruits for the class of 2013. “Findlay Prep has a long history of producing exceptional basketball talent,” said Trinity Western Spartans men’s basketball coach Scott Allen, who helped assist with the logistics in bringing the games to the LEC. “Their roster is stock full of big, athletic players… and the fans who come are going to see players who will excel at the NCAA level and, in the next few years, should hear their names called in the NBA draft.” Further teams competing in the event are expected to be announced next month.

Rams open football season with win Led by a stout defensive effort — which forced eight turnovers — the Langley Rams routed the host Okanagan Sun to kickoff the 2012 B.C. Junior Football Conference season. The Rams, who formerly played in

South Surrey, turned the eight Sun miscues into 35 points en route to a 42-14 victory. Rams quarterback Greg Bowcott threw for 136 yards and one touchdown – a 30-yard strike to Nick Downey – and also

Vancouver works with developers to create Downtown South

Revitalizing the Granville Loops The City of Vancouver has been working with developers such as Cressey Development to re-imagine the area around the Granville Street onramps into a thriving neighbourhood they call Downtown South. With plans for new roadways, biking and walking access to the Stanley Park SeaWall and False Creek waterfront and plenty of commercial space, the community will be the perfect place to purchase a home. “It’s all that Downtown South has to offer,” says Cressey Development Manager David Evans. “There’s entertainment, shopping, the beach, the Seawall ... It provides access to all the amenities.”

Cressey is proud to be a part of the area with Maddox, a 32-storey condominium tower located on Howe and Drake streets. The pedestrian-friendly aspect of the community is particularly important, Evans says. “One of its biggest strengths is access,” he says. With Granville Island, Yaletown and Robson Street within easy reach, buyers who purchase in the area will find everything they could possibly imagine close by. Future projects include a grocery store, the opportunity for vendors such as food carts and sidewalk extensions for outdoor cafes and restaurant patios.

evening at home, no matter what the weather is doing outside. The 10-foot ceilings in some homes add to the considerable sense of space that is inherent in the living areas, which offer plenty of room for entertaining. Lakewood prides itself on quality workmanship and attention to detail, and this is certainly apparent at One92.

There will be 69 homes in the project, ranging from 474 to 1,283 square feet. “There’s something for everybody,” says sales manager Rob Carlsen. “The response has been fantastic.” With features like nine or 10-foot ceilings (depending on where in the building your home is), a spacious walk-in shower in the ensuite and lush landscaping outside, Salix is a truly beautiful development. Many of the homes have views of Mount Baker or the surrounding Clayton Heights area. Building on the popularity of Woodbridge’s Willow Grand development, “we were able to listen to purchasers’ needs and wants,” says Carlsen. “It genuinely makes me excited that we covered a lot of the bases that purchasers were looking for.”

‘Something for everybody’

No trouble ﬁnding a home in Clayton Heights by Kerry Vital

Clayton Heights is a rapidly growing community on the border of Surrey and Langley. Due to its proximity to both cities as well as Cloverdale, it is perfectly situated to take advantage of every amenity that the Lower Mainland has to offer. Less than an hour from the Vancouver International Airport and less than half an hour from the U.S. border, Clayton Heights offers education, recreation, shopping and dining all within a few minutes. Woodbridge Homes’ La Rue La Rue is an intimate community of 49 two- to four-bedroom townhomes. With beautiful details like nine-foot ceilings on the main floor and stainlesssteel appliances, there is much to love at La Rue. With its tagline of “the street you want to live on”, La Rue is proving very popular with people of all demographics. “La Rue offers so many things,” says sales manager Andrea Castro. “I love this product.” The kitchens are particularly beautiful, with ceramic tile backsplashes and stone countertops that are perfectly complemented by the chic wood laminate flooring throughout the main living areas and entrances. Conveniently located close to several

schools, parks and recreation, Castro says that La Rue is great for young families. “Clayton offers so many things for families,” she says, adding “these are a different style of home. You’re close to everything, but you’re also quiet and away from all the busy-ness.” Lakewood’s One92 Lakewood has brought a collection of carriage homes, condominiums and townhomes to Clayton Heights, in a variety of floorplans. With 72 homes in the project, oversized windows, sleek laminate flooring and amazing open-plan kitchens are just some of the amazing features. A designer tile backsplash is complemented by the under-cabinet lighting and contemporary shaker-style cabinetry and gorgeous quartz countertops. A special feature of the homes is the electric fireplace with mood-adjustable accent lighting. It is perfect for curling up with a book or enjoying a romantic

Woodbridge Homes’ Salix Woodbridge continues with its mastery of the Clayton Heights area with Salix, a collection of one-, twoand three-bedroom condominiums. The open-plan layouts and three interior schemes (Craftsman Traditional, Casual Contemporary and Modern Chic) available at Salix make for a truly stunning mix of residences.

“

Clayton offers so many things for families,” says La Rue sales manager Andrea Castro.

SURREYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STREET TREES

Trees are thirsty too! Summer is here; the weather is warm; and the trees on your street and in your yard need water. Like us, trees need long refreshing drinks of water to stay healthy. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you can do to help your neighbourhood street trees and the trees in your yard this summer: 1. Water the trees twice a week. 2. Water thoroughly at the base of the trees for 15 minutes. 3. Water during the cooler parts of the day (early morning and dusk) and when it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t raining. 4. Water slowly so that the water has time to soak into the dry soil and reach the roots, instead of pooling on the surface. For more information about street trees, please call 604.501.5050 For more information about private trees, please call 604.591.4675
