Block party suggested as potential replacement

Torchlight Parade might be snuffed Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Organizers of this summer’s Spirit of the Sea Festival are seriously contemplating a dramatic change to the tradition – cancelling the Torchlight Parade.

Festival director Matt Todd confirmed Monday that talks around replacing the traditional waterfront procession with a Marine

Drive block party got underway last week.

The “epiphany” to switch things up came as organizers mulled how best to balance the concerns of merchants opposed to a Saturday night parade with the logistical nightmare of putting together a Sunday evening event the first weekend in August.

“We’ve sent people to go and talk to every merchant on the beach no less than three

times this year, and they’ve been getting more angry every time,” Todd said, referring to reaction to details that were coming together for a Saturday parade.

“Maybe we need to reinvent this.”

But the idea of kiboshing the tradition is not sitting well with some.

“It’s a real shame if they want to do that,” said Mayor Wayne Baldwin. “Once they lose

that momentum, it’s hard to get people to come back.”

The parade has been part of the festivities in some form since the festival’s start in the early 1950s. Former parade marshall Vin Coyne recalls it started out as a daytime feature, and evolved into a torchlight event in about 1984. see page 2

An estimated 10,000 Girl Guides, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and Campfire Girls from the U.S. and Canada packed Peace Arch International Park Sunday afternoon for the 90th Hands Across the Border parade.

“It was amazing,” Head said Monday.

“It seems like they all came.”

Head said it was evident early on that attendance was up, when 30 buses pulled up to unload the Canadian participants, up about 50 per cent from previous years.

And for the first time in a long time, she said, there were more Canadian participants than Americans.

Head said the previous record for attendance was set the year before the 9-11 tragedy, when 13,000 kids attended.

After the 2001 terrorist attack, numbers dropped sharply, to as little as 6,000.

Then the event was cancelled in 2008 because of extensive construction at the border crossing, and the economic downturn hasn’t helped, either. see page 4

DAWN TO DUSK SALE

Mario Gutierrez’s epic run for the Triple Crown ended early last week, after thoroughbred I’ll Have Another was scratched one day before the Belmont Stakes in Elmont, N.Y. I’ll Have Another was pulled from the race because of tendinitis in his left front leg, dashing his and Gutierrez’s storybook run that was made possible after the duo won the first two legs of the prestigious Triple Crown – the Kentucky Derby Mario Gutierrez and the Preakdual victory ness Stakes.

Trainer Doug O’Neill and owner Paul Reddam, at an impromptu press conference from a barn at the Belmont Stakes, announced Friday morning that I’ll Have Another would retire from racing, for fear that the sport could further injure the horse.

O’Neill said Gutierrez – a former South Surrey jockey – “was sad for the horse (and) he had a tremendous bond with (I’ll Have Another).” see page 4

Organizers are seriously considering cancelling White Rock’s traditional parade.

Parade a concern for merchants from page 1 Coyne couldn’t recall the parade ever being cancelled but said if that did happen, “it was a long time ago.”

According to the festival website (spiritofthessea.ca), the parade is currently set for Saturday, Aug. 4.

Meetings to discuss all of the festival details take place weekly at the Semiahmoo First Nation church, and Todd is hopeful those with suggestions or ideas will join the team this Thursday evening.

He said the parade issue has been “vexing” the festival for years, and described trying to organize it for a Sunday as “like trying to push water uphill.”

For reasons Todd can’t explain, volunteers – which are crucial for the event’s success – are always much harder to find for the Sunday. For the two years when the parade was held on Saturday night, in 2009 and 2010, not only were volunteers easier to muster, but police reported fewer problems, he said.

“It worked really, really well for us,” he said.

Merchants, however, were less than thrilled, and have been expressing their displeasure with this year’s shift back to Saturday – the parade was held on a Sunday last year – ever since the news was announced.

For them, a Saturday parade is a big hit to business, as parade-goers often come down early and settle in at a restaurant table for the night, Todd said. The usual turnover doesn’t happen, and that impacts revenues.

Business Improvement Association executive director Sherri Wilson-Morissette confirmed merchants have expressed concern

Maple Leaf Coins

about the hit to business, particularly on a Saturday night, and said they would prefer “anything that keeps the traffic moving.”

Todd said ideas bandied about last week for a block party involved having elements of the parade from one end of Marine Drive to the other, all aimed at engaging visitors who would still frequent the restaurants, but be less inclined to linger at one. Ideas suggested include instead of having a van drive by with members of the Surrey Eagles, that perhaps the team could be convinced to play some street hockey with festival visitors; and instead of a flat-bed truck with square dancers showing their moves, perhaps the dancers could host a demonstration and invite people to give it a try.

“We think that will probably be more engaging,” Todd said. “It gives no incentive whatsoever to hold a table at a restaurant.

“One of our goals is to be more engaging, and the parade really isn’t.

“I think if the community gets behind it and gets involved and engaged in it, it’ll be better than the parade.”

Debbie Ward, co-chair of the White Rock Youth Ambassador program, said the ambassadors will be part of any event.

But she, too, was disappointed to hear there likely won’t be a parade.

“It’s awful,” Ward said. “It’s so important to communities to have little things that mark community. It’s such a shame when those little things fall apart.”

Thursday’s meeting gets underway at 6 p.m. The church is located on SFN land, just south of the foot bridge accessed from Marine Drive at 160 Street.

news Former Surrey teacher appeals second-degree murder conviction

Intent to kill spouse not proven: lawyer Sheila Reynolds Black Press

The lawyer for convicted murderer Mukhtiar Panghali maintains there is no direct evidence his client strangled his pregnant wife to death in 2006.

Michael Tammen suggested Friday that the B.C. Court of Appeal could either acquit his client and order a new trial, or substitute his second-degree murder conviction for the lesser charge of manslaughter.

Panghali, a former high school teacher, was convicted in February 2011 of second-degree murder and interfering with a dead body in the death of 31-year-old elementary teacher Manjit Panghali. Both taught in Surrey.

Manjit’s charred remains were judge’s determination that burning found in South Delta five days after the body pointed to the perpetrashe went missing after attending a tor’s intent. yoga class on Oct. 18.

Trial testimony from a forensic pathologist pointed to a broken hyoid bone in the neck, but the court heard it was a common injury in manual strangulation.

As well, Tammen said, the pathologist was unable to determine the exact duration of the strangulation – only saying it was “more than fleeting” and likely lasted several seconds.

Appeal Court Justice David Frankel countered that the doctor testified it would take a “minimum” of 15 seconds to render someone unconscious, which is “not that short a period of time.”

Tammen argued 15 to 20 seconds was not a significant amount of time in the context.

Mayors led their cities

Abby out-scores rest in fitness challenge The first-ever Healthy Community Challenge came to an end Saturday at an event held at the Fleetwood Community Centre in Surrey, with the City of Abbotsford being declared the clear victors.

“Abby kind of blew it out of the water – they did a great job,” said Curtis Christopherson of Innovative Fitness, which organized the event.

The three-month venture – in which participants learned how to get active and lead healthier lifestyles – encouraged B.C. residents to sign up online and take part alongside others from their communities.

For each activity – which could range from simply remembering to eat breakfast to going for a walk after work – participants earned points, which were then added to a larger pool and sorted by the community, in an effort to find which

city has gained the most points.

In an effort to spur on residents, four Lower Mainland mayors – Surrey’s Dianne Watts, Abbotsford’s Bruce Banman, Langley City’s Peter Fassbender and Coquitlam’s Richard Stewart – also took part.

After points were tallied last week, Abbotsford scored 90,516 fitness points – more than double the 44,565 scored by Langley City residents. Surrey, meanwhile, scored 30,040 and Coquitlam 12,140.

“Mayor Banman really jumped in with both feet and provided a great example for his community,” Christopherson said.

In total, more than 5,000 residents signed up, and Christopherson expects that number to grow next year.

“We’re already talking with other communities who want to take part next time.”

Victim pleaded with knife-wielding man to ‘finish him off ’

Manipulated attacker sentenced to seven years Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A man described as meek, mild-mannered and easily manipulated has been sentenced to seven years in prison for “premeditated acts of horrific violence.”

Following word of his penalty – imposed by Surrey Provincial Court Judge Paul Dohm Thursday in connection with an aggravated assault two years ago at a White Rock home – Bradley Wade Charters gave his mom a long hug, shook his stepdad’s hand, then turned so a sheriff could place him in handcuffs.

Outside court, friends and family who listened to Dohm’s reasons for sentence said the judge “sent a little boy to jail.”

“He’s not going to get help in prison,” said one man who said he has known Charters for 24 years.

The crime, the man noted, “is not him at all.”

Charters, 47, pleaded guilty in January to aggravated assault. Originally charged with attempted murder, he was arrested the morning after police were alerted to a bloody scene at a home in the 15800-block of Goggs Avenue.

Officers responding to a 911 call on May 1, 2010, Dan Ferguson photo arrived to hear a plea of, “help me, I’m dying,” Charters at court last week. from behind the home’s locked front door.

‘It has been an incredible journey’ from page 1 I’ll Have Another and Gutierrez, who lived for six years at the home of South Surrey horseowner Glen Todd, captured the world’s attention last month, after the duo’s victories in Kentucky and Maryland.

The last horse to win all three races in a single year was Affirmed and jockey Steve Cauthen in 1978. I’ll Have Another was the first horse in 76 years to skip the Belmont after winning the first two; the last was Bold Venture in 1936. Without I’ll Have Another in the field Saturday, the 1½-mile Belmont Stakes was won by Union Rags.

Gutierrez, who now lives in Los Angeles and rides out of famed Santa Anita Park, had been a popular figure in New York last week prior to the announcement.

He appeared Thursday as a guest

on NBC’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and on Friday night, was scheduled to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the MetsYankees game, but the appearance was cancelled after I’ll Have Another was scratched.

He was given celebrity treatment in the Lower Mainland, returning

after each of his victories. After his Derby win, an appearance at Hastings Parks – where he won hundreds of races in a six-year span – drew thousands.

“Before I’ll Have Another, no one knew who I was,” Gutierrez, 25, said last week. “It has been an incredible journey.”

from page 1 “Over the last few years, it’s been tough for people to get here,” Head said.

But this year, to rededicate the arch that was built with funds from school kids, Canadians came from as far away as Prince George, Prince Rupert and Kamloops, while some of the Americans hailed from as far away as Idaho and Colorado.

Volunteers at the concession stands ran out of souvenirs to sell by 10 a.m. that morning and they came close to running out of hotdogs.

“We sold everything,” Head said. “We were pleasantly surprised.”

Head credits the success of the event to the many volunteers who worked long hours to make it happen.

“It’s a lot of work by a lot of people,” she said.

Jill Battie, First Semiahmoo Guides leader, led a group of six local participants to the event.

She says the high point for her kids was the trading of pinnable hat crafts or “swaps,” while for her it was the opportunity to reconnect with people.

“I see guides and friends I haven’t seen in years,” Battie said.

The Peace Arch border crossing was closed from noon till 4 p.m. Sunday to allow the participants to stage their parade and mingle freely about the park.

The organizers of the event are looking for more volunteers to help next year. Email headsupemb@shaw.ca for more information.

North Surrey had a spate of violent attacks over the weekend that saw one man shot, another stabbed in a robbery attempt and two others beaten with bats in three separate instances.

Surrey RCMP were kept busy Sunday morning starting at 1 a.m. when they responded to a call and found two men, 20 and 21 years old from Surrey, who had been beaten with baseball bats near 132 Street and 80 Avenue. One of them received a laceration on his head and the other had a fractured jaw.

Police do not believe the victims knew their attackers and say the motive for the attack is unclear, however, alcohol is believed to be a factor.

An hour-and-ahalf later, a man was attacked at 104 Avenue and King George Boulevard by six men trying to steal his ring. The 39-year-old Surrey man suffered stab wounds to the abdomen. Then at 4:30 a.m., a 33-year-old Vancouver man was taken to hospital with gunshot wounds to his leg and arm after attending a party near 92 Avenue and 147A Street.

Investigators aren’t sure whether those involved were known to each other, but believe the shooting was the result of an altercation.

Several people of interest have been taken into police custody.

Both drivers were taken to hospital.

The bike rider’s leg is severely injured and he also has head injuries.

The female driver didn’t suffer serious injuries.

A ride worth celebrating

T

hat sound heard Friday morning was that of a balloon deflating, with word that sensational racehorse I’ll Have Another would not run the Belmont Stakes due to injury.

The late scratch meant that the thoroughbred’s improbable run for the prestigious Triple Crown was over, as its handlers rightfully, and commendably, put the horse’s health ahead of a potential historic victory, not to mention the profit that would surely follow.

And with the horse’s absence, a great deal of momentum was also lost for a sport struggling to stay top-of-mind amongst North American sports fans. I’ll Have Another’s victories at the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes – and the chance that maybe, just maybe, a landmark moment was in the offing – gave thoroughbred racing a higher profile than it had enjoyed in years, likely decades. Not since 1978, when jockey Steve Cauthen rode Affirmed to victory had a horse captured the rare triple.

But it spurred, too, the cynics – those who pooh-pooh horse-racing as not a sport so much as a gambler’s paradise, because, they insist, a horse cannot be considered a real athlete.

But what of the jockey, one Mario Gutierrez?

Lost amidst the hue and cry that the Triple Crown would go unclaimed for yet another year, was the 25-year-old former South Surrey resident, whose shot at glory was dashed by something he could not control – the health of a horse.

And though it has been I’ll Have Another in the headlines since the Derby win in early May, Gutierrez should get plenty of credit, too.

He’s more, after all, than just a guy sitting atop a really fast horse.

South Surrey horse owner Glen Todd, whose horses Gutierrez rode during a six-year run at Hastings Park, refers to the jockey as “gifted.”

After his win in Kentucky, Todd even went so far as to call Gutierrez the Bobby Orr of jockeys. Add in the backstory – Gutierrez grew up racing the dirt tracks of Mexico before being discovered and brought to Vancouver – and it’s no wonder he’s garnered so much attention.

And while there has been since Friday an obvious sense of sadness that the Triple Crown has gone unclaimed, and that I’ll Have Another will not race again, there too, should be a moment to honour the steady hand of Gutierrez, the relatively unknown jockey who somehow managed to take thoroughbred racing from the dirt tracks of the sports world into the mainstream, if even for a moment.

So far this week you’ve said… yes 39% no 61% 91 responding Now a glut of shale gas has pushed the North American price down from its historic range of $4 to $6 per 1,000 cubic feet to about $2.40. Despite that low price, gas producers in B.C. are going flat out to develop the Horn River and Montney shale gas deposits in northeast B.C. I asked David Pryce, vice-president of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, why so much gas is being developed now.

He said producers have made huge investments in B.C. shale gas drilling rights, and are in an international race to supply LNG to Asian countries where the price is currently four times higher than in North America.

Whatever the domestic price, B.C. gas producers have to show LNG investors such as Mitsubishi and Korea Gas that they can fill a steady procession of LNG tankers at a competitive rate.

If LNG doesn’t fly here, B.C.’s gas export market soon evaporates.

Currently, gas producers pay about $400 million a year in royalties, and that much again to buy up shale gas drilling rights. The industry already employs about 12,000 workers in B.C. The B.C. government has little choice but to redefine its climate targets.

Instead of cutting domestic emissions, it will try to take credit for displacing coal power in Asia.

Fortunately, B.C.’s main coal exports are for high-grade coal used in steel-making.

Vegas action no draw here Editor: Re: Newton casino in talks to move south, May 31.

I and others are deeply concerned as to where our community in South Surrey is heading.

We were not amused when the previous mayor gave us the blot on our quiet farmland on 24 Avenue east of Highway 99 – Morgan Crossing. Now we learn that a casino/hotel and convention centre is to be on 8 Avenue.

I am sure no one on the west side of Highway 99 towards White Rock was ever consulted or approved this monstrosity to again ruin our community. Most of the residents, I am sure, moved to South Surrey for its beauty and quiet living and not for some Vegas type of action.

I also have heard a rumour that our First Nations may also build a casino on the land they recently fenced off. As I said, we do not want or need Vegas in our quiet suburban lifestyle.

South Surrey has a very large conservative vote who would not be happy with city officials who approve this change to where we live.

Martin Cooper, Surrey Q There’s a guy out there who wants to put something gross in your backyard.

Gross stuff includes anything from a monster house, to a strip mall, to an all-night rock-and-roll strip bar.

Oh, and it can really ruin your day to look out your window and see a 200-room gambling house.

The reason this guy wants to put the stuff in your backyard is that he can make lots of money. He is following the basic law of money and happiness: “Make lots of money and be happy.” Unfortunately for you, there’s an inverse law of money and happiness: “If somebody gets a lot, then somebody loses a lot.”

The guy then goes to the city councillors and asks for permission to put the gross stuff in your backyard. He promises he will pay tribute to the forest he cuts down with a decorative grouping of saplings that will reach full glory in less than 100 years! The councillors say yes because they want to ‘broaden the tax base’ – wink, wink.

You don’t want the gross stuff in your backyard because it’s making you unhappy and you can’t get away because nobody wants to buy a house with gross stuff in the backyard. To make matters worse, your taxes went up, despite the broadened tax base, because the gross stuff needed ‘infrastructure.’

So you complain and everyone points at you and calls you a NIMBY. These finger-pointers are not afraid of progress. They are secure and happy. They’re happy because nobody is putting gross stuff in their backyard.

Unfortunately, they aren’t aware of the cumulative law of money and happiness: “Those with lots, tend to want more.” Right now, the guy with the gross stuff is looking for a new backyard.

There is one place where you are safe from the guy with the gross stuff. This is the councillors’ neighbourhood. They don’t like gross stuff either and there are, after all, certain limits to the broadness of the tax base.

The problem is that most of us

can’t afford to live there. For some reason, councillors, like the guy with the gross stuff, have lots of money. You see, they understand the reciprocal law of money and happiness: “You scratch my back, I scratch yours.”

Letter writers suggest alternate ways of ensuring safety in school zones.

Routes to a solution Editor: Re: I’m prepared to take my penalty, June 5 letters.

I read this letter by Fred Somers Sr. numerous times to make sure I was actually reading it correctly.

What started off as a normal citizen’s complaint about inaction by staff at Surrey city hall quickly degenerated into an attack on the RCMP in general. I guess the police should set up shop on his favourite road at great cost to the taxpayer so everyone will play nice and slow down while they are present.

I drive this road almost daily and, as far as school grounds go, this one is well protected along 8 Avenue.

There is no reason for kids to cross the road, as there is nothing on the other side except bush. I wonder what, in his eyes, makes this school ground so vulnerable.

I also live on a street that has a problem with speeders. I, however, have no intention of hurling stones at cars or insults at the police.

Instead, I politely asked Surrey to address the problem.

They installed a traffic counter and found that along the stretch of 0 Avenue past Peace Arch Park, 85 per cent of the some 260 cars per day were travelling 53 km/h. Staff advised this was only three km/h over the posted speed of 50 km/h, so the road did not need any speed mitigation consideration.

They, however, failed to recognize

this is a posted 30 km/h playground zone and not a 50 km/h speed zone.

My next action was not to enter into a tirade about the police and their purported indiscretions but to instead ask my elected representative to intercede.

Mr. Somers will be delighted to know I was scheduled this week to be heard by the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee for the City of Surrey to consider my concerns about excessive speed.

Perhaps he should use the democratic tools at his disposal and spare us his personal opinions about everything that is wrong with the RCMP. A little less chest thumping and a little more diplomacy may serve him well in his crusade against all the evil forces leaning on his fragile world.

I hope no one is killed or injured by a childish attempt to become David hurling stones at Goliath.

Andy Johnston, Surrey Q I am pleased to advise that the City of Surrey and the RCMP stepped up to the plate with regard to my letter to the editor.

The tree has been trimmed and the RCMP are running radar.

Thank you to both the City of Surrey and the RCMP. I appreciate your attention to this important matter, and the parents, staff, students and I say thanks.

Fred Somers Sr., Surrey

Problems multiplied Editor: Re: City of Surrey tackles secondary suites, May 31.

Surrey mayor and council want us to accept multiple suites in designated areas.

If the city is unwilling or unable to enforce a one-suite authorization, it stretches the imagination to think they can enforce regulations allowing multiple suites in designated areas.

So, it will be open season for the law breakers. Law-abiding citizens, yet again, will pick up the tab.

It is estimated there are already over 4,000 multiple-suite homes, yet they are not allowed.

There are, by conservative estimates, 20,000 unauthorized single suites, and these homeowners are not paying taxes on these.

At a bargain rate of $240/year in taxes for these suites, a minimum of $7.2 million dollars of additional revenue could be generated.

But, hey, who’s counting?

Enforcement to retrieve this lost revenue would be a fraction of this financial gain, but this seems far too expensive for Surrey to even contemplate. As well, there is no effort to ensure these unauthorized suites are brought up to electrical, gas and plumbing codes through the authorization process. This puts people at unacceptable risk.

The city has stated more than once that they prefer negotiation versus litigation to bring these homeowners into line. For the lawbreakers, this is code for ‘do whatever you want because there will be no consequences.’ For those living outside Surrey, the take-home message is, ‘if you want to break the law without consequences, the City of Surrey welcomes you.’

We have been experiencing an example of the folly in the city’s thinking on this for some time now.

This goes up and above lost revenue. Our school children and their teachers are forced into unhealthy and inefficient portables due to overcrowding.

The cost of portables comes out of the school board’s operating budget, not the province’s capital budget for schools. Yet the finger of blame is pointed at the provincial government. But school capital expenditures are based on anticipated student numbers within catchment areas. These numbers are based on planning and zoning.

When the city turns a blind eye on unauthorized suites – single or multiple – this throws all the planning out the window and more students need to be accommodated up and above the planned capital expenditures for additional schools.

I’m calling on Surrey citizens to: • absolutely oppose any move to multiple suites; • insist the city enforce authorization of all existing unauthorized suites and ensure these meet all applicable building codes; • insist the city be far more open and transparent and build the trust that is currently so lacking.

Steve Burke, Surrey

Black Bond re-opens Vancouver’s Book Warehouse

Book biz stays strong Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Are books going the way of the dinosaur?

Caitlin Jesson, new manager of the Book Warehouse – the iconic mecca for fans of the printed word that reopened in Vancouver June 1 as the latest acquisition in the family-owned, South Surrey-based Black Bond Books’ 12-store chain – says she isn’t worried.

Even the challenges of the current economy, including the U.S. dollar reaching parity with the Canadian dollar – and much-trumpeted technological change, such as the rise of e-books and online sales – have not significantly dented Black Bond’s time-tested business model, Jesson said.

That’s built, she says, on book lovers who appreciate the physical feel of the printed word and stores close to home providing a good selection and personalized service.

She noted that next year will be the 50th anniversary of the chain founded by her grandmother, Madeleine Neill, and now owned and run by her parents, Mel and Cathy Jesson.

“We’re definitely going to be around for a long time, so long as we’re willing to adapt and change with the times,” she said.

Jesson said Black Bond has been able to weather U.S. competition by making selective, rather than across the board, discounts.

The enthusiastic response to the new ownership of the West Broadway landmark has been “an exciting, if intensely

challenging week and a half,” the 2004 Semiahmoo Secondary grad said.

The re-opening of the 3,700 sq. ft. location has been greeted by loyal customers with bouquets of flowers, and, more importantly, the sound of a ringing register.

Even with the hard-to–shake effects of the recession, Black Bond has been making a consistent gain in sales since the end of 2011, long enough to indicate that it’s more than just a market blip.

But Jesson has a feeling Black Bond’s continuing success has a lot to do with the resilience of the market for what she calls “tangible books” as opposed to virtual equivalents.

“I think enough people appreciate the printed word,” she said. “We stare at screens all day – who wants to stare at another screen when we’re reading?”

Not that she doesn’t acknowledge that e-books serve a certain market.

“I think there’s room in the world for both e-books and the tangible book,” she said.

While she recognizes Amazon as the biggest challenge, she said she feels Black Bond can provide a level of service the online giant can’t muster.

“We want people to leave the store with a smile on their face and the book they want.

“As long as we are doing that, connecting with our customers, there are enough people who are community and locally minded to keep us in business.”

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Lower Mainland teens with mental illness find confidence working on Langley farm

Discovering a new kind of horsepower Monique Tamminga

F

Black Press

or teens living with mental illness, their world can feel out of control at times.

At other times it can be frustrating and isolating.

But a new program that brings teens together with rescue horses gives youth with mental-health issues a new sense of empowerment and a bond with some special “gentle giants.”

Last week, Rachelle Sall, 15, and Jonathan Pichette, 17, graduated from a six-week program at Langley’s Healing Heart Sanctuary, where the two teenagers learned to lead horses.

“I’ve learned a lot about myself. I really learned how to control my emotions,” Pichette said. “When I had to pick up a horse’s hoof, I was really anxious about it.

But I had to control my fear. I told the horse that I was anxious but I will do this.”

He explained that the “more you accept your emotions, the more willing the horse is to work with you.”

Pichette showed how he calmed Rio, by putting his hand where the horse’s heart is and putting a hand on his own heart at the same time.

Breathing deep through the belly, a horse will sync up his breaths with the human, and soon Rio’s head lowered, his eyelids drooped and his ears came forward.

Pichette had relaxed the horse.

The Surrey teen has found the program so rewarding that he has began volunteering at the Aldergrove horse ranch.

Linda-Ann Bowling – Healing Heart Sanctuary owner and facilitator of the therapeutic horse program she calls ‘Youth with a Purpose… a New Kind of Horsepower’ – said horses are highly intuitive.

“Horses are sensitive animals and respond to people’s emotions, moods and non-verbal language,” Bowling said. “Through their work with the horses, youth learn healthy boundaries, responsibility, assertiveness and a variety of ways of interacting more positively with others.”

The youth don’t ride the rescue horses but form a leadership role with the large animals, bonding with them by grooming and taking them through obstacle courses.

The youth participating in the program come from the Adolescent Day Treatment Centre in Surrey, which supports teens who are experiencing severe psychiatric difficulties such as psychotic, mood and anxiety disorders.

Boaz Joseph photo

Jonathan Pichette, 17, tends to horse, Rio, at the end of a six-week therapeutic horse program at a Langley farm.

Teens taking part come from Langley, Delta, Surrey and White Rock and attend the program four days a week for six months.

Out of the six horses Sall worked with, she bonded with the only female horse, Genevieve. Sall – a shy girl herself – bonded with the most confident and difficult horse in the group.

“If you aren’t the clear leader, she won’t go with you,” Bowling said. “She is more than happy to give you horse hugs, but won’t move an inch if she senses any skepticism.”

Sall said Genevieve has given her the confidence she didn’t have before. The huge, beautiful mare has forced her to be a leader.

Sall has been able to walk Genevieve through an obstacle course and over a bridge, something many horses are reluctant to do.

The centre’s youth care worker, Kristine Bateman, has already seen the benefits of the program.

“It’s nice for them to step outside of themselves for a while. The skills they are learning here are in-the-moment decision making. They are problem solving on the spot and learning that it’s OK to ask for help,” Bateman said. “By the time these teens get to us (at the centre), they have been struggling for a while.

“They’ve spent a lot of time avoiding things like school. This is giving them life lessons about perseverance.”

Leading a horse is no easy task. As Bowling explained, horses are constantly testing your leadership.

Bowling has been inspired by the teens’ willingness to learn.

“We think it has gone amazing,” she said.

“What we saw was kids problem solving in the moment.”

This is the first time time Fraser Health has partnered with Healing Heart Sanctuary.

A total of $15,000 in funding from three donors to the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation has allowed the centre’s teens to take part in the Horse Power program.

Thanks to this funding there will be a summer and fall session as well.

And the demand is certainly there, because one in five children will experience a mental health challenge, according to Dr. Karen Tee, manager of Fraser Health’s youth and young adult mental health services.

lifestyles Mary Jo Bouillet remembered as resilient woman who made difference

She gave all she had: son “She eventually fought her way out of wheelchair and walked with a cane. It took her an hour or more to walk from her apartment on Everall to walk to White Rock Community Aid on Johnston Road, but she was a very, very determined lady.”

From a start as part of a provincial Local Initiatives Project grant, White Rock Community Aid evolved from an odd-jobs service for seniors and shut-ins, to a transportation program, particularly after the Soroptimists Society became a principal sponsor and provided two mini buses.

Bouillet was with it every step of the way, her son said, also becoming involved in such programs as Meals On Wheels.

“She gave all she had and never held back, and she especially had a heart for the less fortunate,” he said.

“She’d enlist lots of volunteers and her family was coerced into helping with many of her activities. She left that legacy for us to carry on.

“More than just as a person, she’s remembered for the difference she made.”

White Rock company wins three awards

Design firm lauded by peers Three prestigious awards from their peers in the printing industry have staff at White Rock Design & Print beaming.

The honours – two gold and one silver – were bestowed by the Graphic Professionals Resource Network (IAPHC), and recognize outstanding achievement in graphic design and digital printing.

Judging occurred at the 37th International Gallery of Excellence, held in Minneapolis,

Minn., last October.

The team learned of their successes in February, and announced them to the public mid-May. The annual competition draws entries from around the world, including Australia, Britain, China, Egypt, Hong Kong, Korea, Italy and Poland.

White Rock Design & Print’s gold-winning entries were its Surrey RCMP 60th Anniversary Event Kit, which won for graphic

design, and its Caring in Action Teacher Manual, which won for digital printing.

Its Feel Good Fitness Corporate Identity Package won silver for graphic design.

In a congratulatory message, IAPHC chief executive officer Kevin Keane noted the business’s entries over the years have been consistently “world-class work” that brings its clients’ visions to life “in a most unique, memorable and effective manner.”

lifestyles Diamond Jubilee Medal awarded to locals

what’s

A royal honour When White Rock resident George Davidge attended the Vancouver Naval Veterans Association annual meeting June 3, he knew various awards were to be given out.

But he had “no idea� that he would be one of the recipients, nor that the award coming his way was one of royal proportions.

Davidge, who served in the Second World War, was among five Peninsula residents to receive a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal at the event.

Norman Gould, Joan Sellar, Sid Laturnus and Les Nelson were also honoured, Davidge said.

The medals commemorate the 60th anniversary of the queen’s accession to the throne.

The first 60 medals were presented on Feb. 6 at Rideau Hall; a total of 60,000 Canadians will receive them this year, in honour of significant contributions and achievements.

For more information about Tracy Holmes photo the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee White Rock’s George Davidge holds photo of himself and celebration, go to www.

South Surrey resident Norman Gould. Both were honoured thediamondjubilee.org June 3 with a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.

You want to undertake big changes in your diet and the way you live. You’ll succeed in working small miracles on your body.

Your work seems to take up most of your week. A few changes at the office will require you to make adjustments, but you will be fully functional again immediately.

SAGITTARIUS

GEMINI Your circle of friends will expand, just like your professional network of contacts. These people will be of benefit to you, materially as well as psychologically.

Yo u c o u l d d e f i n i t e l y b e approaching your hour of glory.

People will rush to congratulate you and make you the centre of attention, both at work and in your social life.

CANCER

CAPRICORN

You are the type of person who can bridge the gap between reason and emotions. It is this potential that will help you to accomplish a task or even help someone.

You could spend part of the week at home for one reason or another.

You will prepare the house for visitors or even to welcome someone for a set period of time.

LEO

AQUARIUS

You will soon be on vacation, although it’s likely you’ll only organize something with your friends at the last moment. There will also be a great opportunity to party.

You’re certainly never at a loss for words, and your opinion will be scrupulously respected. You will feel very proud to have been able to explain your position in a very precise situation.

If you’re in the process of moving, you will realize that huge changes are coming and that a new, more stimulating life is waiting for you around the corner.

Music education can help with school skills Music’s efficacy as a teaching tool has long been studied. Though some still doubt if music has any effect on student performance, a strong body of evidence suggests otherwise.

Studies into the effects of music on learning are nothing new. Such studies have been conducted for decades, gaining popularity during the 1950s when research was done on something called the “Mozart Effect.” The Mozart Effect theorizes that listening to Mozart can temporarily improve performance and may even boost a person’s IQ. In response, many parents started playing Mozart and other classical music in their homes.

Ongoing research continues to support the theory that music education can help children on many levels. In Canada, a research group from McMaster University conducted their own study into music education. That study, which was published in the journal Brain in 2006, examined two groups of children, ages 4 to 6. Each were taught the same lessons, but one group was also given musical instruction. The study found that the group of children who received musical instruction scored much better than their peers in literacy, mathematics, IQ, and memory skills.

Music education is not just for the average student. Other research shows it may be beneficial to children with dyslexia and other learning dis-

abilities. A study completed at Stanford University showed that mastering a musical instrument improves the ability to process parts of the spoken language.The researchers believe that additional research might develop a way to use the knowledge obtained in the study to increase language development for individuals with dyslexia or cognitive disorders.

In many schools, music education is being drastically reduced or eliminated. Parents may want to look outside the classroom for music instruction or play more music at home.

SHARP SHOOTERS July 16 - 20 Ages 9 - 11 (as of 12/31/12) $225 Photography is one way to capture the beauty and drama of the world. The human brain is wired to appreciate beauty, to experience emotion and engage in story. The brain operates in a way that certain composition elements stimulate neurons in the “feeling” and “awe” sections of the brain. Good photographs make the mind’s eye (brain) want to engage with the photograph and stay there to explore. Campers will practice the basic elements of photographic composition to tell a better story. Digital photography has enabled photographers to quickly learn and practice key elements for high quality photos. Key concepts include the rule of thirds, leading lines, depth of field, selective focus, contrast, color, patterns, point of view and selective digital editing through constructive criticism. Campers need to

have a digital camera with a memory card to use for the week. Through the week, students will edit and produce a digital portfolio of photos that demonstrate key photographic concepts. This camp includes daily recreational breaks. A good understanding of English is necessary.

This camp includes daily recreational breaks. A good understanding of English is necessary.

RED! YELLOW! BLUE! I SEE YOU! July 23 - 27 Ages 6 - 8 (as of 12/31/12) $240 Find your colourful side with pencil crayons, oil pastels, paint, papier-mâché and special objects.

Peace Arch Hospital PART 3 IN A 3 PART SERIES

Two beautiful children

They saved my life I came through the surgery and proceeded to the recovery room and then back to the surgery ward.

Approximately 24 hours later, I was having difficulty breathing and stopped breathing at one point. Luckily I don’t remember any of this.

Thank God for the wonderful nurse who was with a patient beside me. She could hear me and she looked in on me and I was almost blue! The Code Blue, which was announced over the speaker system, was for me! Down to the Emergency Department I went. Those wonderful doctors and nurses worked on me for some time to get me stable and took a CT scan and found blood clots in my lung.

I was then transferred to the Acute Care Unit, where I stayed for seven days before going back to the Surgery Ward where I stayed for another 13 days.

Sharon Coles

My story began at Peace Arch Hospital at 6:30 a.m. on October 12, 2011, where I proceeded to Surgical Day Care for my total knee replacement surgery performed by my fabulous doctor, Vic Bubbar. Before the operation we talked and he marked the right knee, which he was going to operate on.

I can’t say enough about the great doctors and nurses in the Emergency, Acute Care Unit and Surgery Wards at Peace Arch Hospital. They definitely saved my life and I am so grateful to all of them and can’t say enough about the wonderful care I received.

THANK YOU TO ALL THE DOCTORS AND NURSES AT PEACE ARCH HOSPITAL Sharon Coles

I love Peace Arch Hospital. We had both our beautiful children at your wonderful hospital. I went to the maternity clinic for the care during my pregnancies and after the birth of our children.

Dr. Goldie, our maternity doctor both times, was so wonderful.

She gave such amazing care.

She, as well as the other staff at the clinic, is so warm, welcoming, patient, and kind. Dr. Bright and Dr. Jackson delivered Justin. It was a hard and long delivery and they both were very patient and kind. Dr. Gustafson and Dr. Goldie performed my c section where I had Olivia. They both made me feel very comfortable and at ease. These are all excellent doctors.

I rave about the maternity clinic to all my friends. We delivered both our sweet children, Justin in 2008 and Olivia in 2010, on the maternity unit. All the nurses and staff are so gentle, warm, and supportive. We were there for a week following Justin’s birth and for 72 hours following Olivia’s birth. It felt like home. We felt very well cared for, and would highly recommend this hospital to everyone. When I reflect back on my pregnancies and the births of Justin and Olivia I feel very lucky to have had them both at Peace Arch.

Sincerely, Randi Slobin

Many thanks to everyone who shared their stories.

news Public plug-in stations aim to boost zero-emission travel

Car chargers planned for parks Jeff Nagel Black Press

Publicly accessible charging stations for electric cars will be set up in select Metro Vancouver regional parks.

The regional district plans to spend $64,000 setting up six to eight stations where electric vehicles can be plugged in while their owners enjoy a park visit.

Air quality planner Eve Fichot said Pacific Spirit, Boundary Bay and Capilano River regional parks are among those under early consideration for charging stations.

“We’re looking at ones that have a high visitor rate,” she said.

A Metro report also indicates Burnaby Lake Regional Park, Metro’s head office in Burnaby and the Annacis Wastewater Treatment Plant are other likely locations for public charging spots.

Metro environment and parks committee chair Heather Deal said the concept is to make it easy and convenient to recharge car batteries.

She said the more charging stations that

Metro Vancouver’s Echo Lin, with an electric car charger. exist, the more viable electric cars become and the less owners worry about running out of power.

“The easier you make it, the more convenient you make it, the more pleasant you make it, the more likely it is that people will actually decide to make this change in their lives,” Deal said.

Half of the cost of the pilot project is to be covered by the province’s $2.74 million

Community Charging Infrastructure Fund, which will finance 570 stations across B.C. The 240-volt level 2 charging stations need four to six hours to fully charge an electric vehicle’s battery, but an hour or two typically provides enough of a top up to travel another 20 to 40 kilometres.

Metro already has 14 charging stations installed at its Burnaby offices and Lake City operations centre for its own fleet of electric vehicles.

Metro won’t attempt to charge users for the power, which it estimates will cost the region $1 per stall per day.

Some Metro directors were concerned about the optics of providing free fuel.

But officials argue it supports the sustainability of the region. Designated stalls will be marked for electric vehicles only.

A handful of public charging stations exist in Vancouver but Fraser Basin Council spokesman Jim Vanderwal said the provincial fund will subsidize businesses and other agencies to sponsor charging stations at other points in the Lower Mainland.

Yes. The Wills, Estates and Succession Act is likely to become law in 2012.

A marriage will no longer make a previous will void.

Increasingly healthy life spans resulted in many more second marriages. Often the newly married second spouses believed "what's yours goes to your children, and what's mine goes to my children." The children of the Àrst spouse to die were often disappointed to discover that the "new" spouse was entitled to the lion's share of their parent's estate. To repeat, when the new law is passed in 2012, a marriage will not make a pre-marriage will void.

The deÀnition of "spouse" in other legislation has included persons who are not married to each other but live in a marriage-like relationship for two years.

Persons who lived together in a spousal relationship, including a same sex relationship, have had rights to bring a claim to vary a will provided they lived together for the two years up to the date of death of their spouse.

Rights of a common law spouse have now been expanded. In a formal marriage the beginning and end of the relationship are documented. It may prove difÀcult to determine when a common-law ends.

Common law spouses rarely have a documented beginning nor is it usual to have a documented ending.

The new law leaves the matter of the beginning open and states that a common law relationship can be terminated by one of the spouses without the consent of the other. The courts will have to Àgure out how that it is to be applied.

For example, what will the Courts decide if one spouse is in a weakened condition and his or her aggressive children persuades him or her to terminate the spousal relationship to preserve their own interest in their parent's estate?

How will a court handle this if there has been, say, an 18 year relationship of mutual support and love and what will be decided by the court if the relationship is non-existent but the spouses still physically live under the same roof for economic reasons? These will provide conundrums for Judges. The new legislation gives very little leeway for a Judge to exercise discretion to achieve a fair result.

Lend Me A Tenor Ken Ludwig’s celebrated farce Lend Me A Tenor opens Wednesday, June 13, at 8 p.m. at Coast Capital Playhouse (1532 Johnston Rd.) Directed by Ryan Mooney (who helmed last year’s Nunsense, a notable collaboration of Mooney’s Fighting Chance Productions and the Players Club) the show promises a fast, funny farrago set in Cleveland’s opera house in 1934.

Chaos ensues when renowned Italian tenor Tito Merelli (Michael Kalmuk), also known as ‘Il Stupendo,’ receives an accidental double-dose of tranquilizers, just before he is to make his Cleveland debut in a gala fundraising performance of Verdi’s Otello.

Scheming opera company general manager Saunders (Fred Partridge) is determined the show must go on at all costs, which includes having his own assistant, Max (Aaron Reno) don the blackface required for the role. The ruse works – until Merelli, also in blackface, wakes up and heads for the stage, determined to fulfil the contract.

Complicating matters: Merelli’s jealous wife Maria (Launi Bowie); Saunders’ daughter Maggie (Nicole Smashnuk), who has designs on Merelli; society woman, Julia (Susanne de Pencier); ambitious soprano, Diana (Jackie Block); and a bellhop who wants to be an opera singer (Sean Donnelly).

The show runs until June 30, with 8 p.m. performances and a 2:30 p.m. Sunday matinee.

For tickets and show time information, visit www.whiterockplayers.ca or call 604536-7535.

Summer acting camp Ellie King’s Royal Canadian Theatre Company offers a Young Teens Acting Camp, for ages 12 to 15, July 9 - 14 (10 a.m to 4 p.m. daily), at Newton Cultural Centre, 13530 72 Ave. Participants will rehearse a fun play that will be presented to family and friends on the final day of the camp, but the program, suitable for all levels of experience, is also geared towards increasing confidence, supplying fun physical activity, building creativity and developing team spirit and responsibility.

Cost is $300 per participant (with a $50 discount for each sibling registering at the same time.

The Mousetrap Peninsula Productions summer production of Agatha Christie’s celebrated 1952 thriller The Mousetrap runs July 11 to 28, with 8 p.m. performances, at the Coast Capital Playhouse.

Among well-known players in the production, helmed by artistic director Wendy Bollard (Waiting For The Parade), are Paul Kloegman, Lori Tych and, in a departure from her usual public appearances as a singer, Laine Henderson.

Red Beans and Rice The White Rock Traditional Jazz Society’s regular season of Sunday afternoon live hot jazz music and dance sessions (usually 3-6 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240, 2643 128 St.) have wound down for the summer, but that doesn’t mean doing without the sounds of vintage jazz.

House band Red Beans and Rice, led by trumpeter Rice Honeywell Sr., will continue to play most Sundays through the summer, 3-6 p.m. at the legion.

But there’s also another chance to enjoy the local favourites. On Friday nights, 7-10 p.m. they play at Porter’s Bistro, 21611 48 Ave. in Langley’s historic Murrayville (reservations 604-530-5297).

Jazz trumpet and vocal star Bria Skonberg (Bria’s Hot Five, The Dal Richards Orchestra), now working in New York, paid a welcome return visit to an afternoon session of her former sponsors, the White Rock Traditional Jazz Society, May 27.

The very British show takes place at historic Monkswell Manor, recently renovated as a guest house.

The first guests are stranded by a snowstorm, just as news arrives of a murder in London, with a suggestion the manor house may be next on the murderer’s itinerary.

The local production of The Mousetrap is part of the 60th anniversary celebrations worldwide for the venerable whodunit – which has broken all records by running continuously in London since it first opened.

Tickets are $23 ($18 seniors) and can be purchased at www.whiterockplayers.ca or in person at The Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. Gala opening is July 13, and there will be 2:30 p.m. matinees on July 15 and 22.

Little Shop of Horrors Tickets are available now for a new collaboration between Fighting Chance and the White Rock Players Club, the popular musical Little Shop of Horrors, directed by Ryan Mooney (Coast Capital Playhouse, Aug. 8-25).

Just announced for the lead role of Seymour, the flower-shop nebbish who nurtures an unusual plant with extraterrestrial origins, is hometown favourite Kerry O’Donovan (also a noted

pianist and musical director for Vancouver professional productions) while Adam Olgui (last seen in The Mikado for Fraser Valley Gilbert and Sullivan Society) takes on a challenging double role.

Dream cast The Beachhouse Theatre Society will present an eagerly awaited production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Crescent Beach this summer.

Directors Candace Radcliffe and Rick Harmon’s inaugural Beachhouse Theatre production will be presented Aug. 15-19 under a tent near Blackie Spit.

The poetic – yet often rollicking and earthy – tale of mistaken identity, young love gone awry and collisions between mortals and the fairy kingdom, provides roles for Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan society regulars, plus talented alumni from many of Radcliffe and Harmon’s celebrated Earl Marriott Secondary productions.

Among the well-known local faces in the cast will be James Walker (as Thesus and Oberon), Roger Hussen (Egeus), Rylan Schinkel (Hermia), Nick Hugh (Lysander), Adam Olgui (Peter Quince), Paul Richardson (Flute), Reg Pillay (Snout), Russel Chartrand (Bottom) and Marina

White Rock Blues John Lee Sanders will serve up a helping of what he advertises as “New Orleans deepfried funk in a bucket full of blues” Saturday, June 16, 8 p.m. at the Rhumba Room of the Pacific Inn Resort, 1160 King George Blvd., presented by the White Rock Blues Society.

The White Rock-based musician’s growing years and musical career in the U.S. steeped him in the best traditions of pop, jazz, country, gospel, New Orleans street rhythm, funk, soul and rhythm and blues.

He’s shared the stage with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Jimmy Page, Willie Nelson, Tower of Power and Jimmy Witherspoon, as well as being an Emmy-nominated composer and winner of three Canadian Music Awards.

The result is a sound that is the real thing.

In the words of White Rock Blues Society president Rod Dranfield, Sanders can “sit in front of a piano and bring the smoke from a Texas barbecue, the spirit of a New Orleans street parade and the soul of the Mississippi Delta, all in one set.”

Tickets ($20 advance, $25 at the door) are available at www.whiterockblues.com, or by calling 604-542-6515.

Cyclists of all ages and skill levels hit the trails at South Surrey Bike Park Sunday morning at the Junkyard Dog XC. The popular race, which was last run in 2010 and is part of the BC Cup series, drew many to the park, which also included high school mountain bike championships. The high school event had originally been cancelled due to the ongoing labour dispute between B.C. teachers and the government, but the race was revived by the SORCE Bike Club, hosts of the Junkyard competition.

Summer of soccer

A camp aimed at helping women improve their skills on the soccer pitch will be offered for a fourth straight summer at Bakerview Park. The week-long camp, run by Geoff McCormick, has two sessions planned. The first is set for the week of July 9 and the second for the week of Aug. 27.

The women’s camp runs Monday-Friday, from 9-11 a.m., and the children’s camps run from 9-11 a.m. and again from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m.

A high-level camp for U14/U15 boys is also scheduled during both weeks.

sports Peter Schaefer added to bench

NHLer joins Eagles Former NHLer and Vancouver Canucks forward Peter Schaefer has joined the Surrey Eagles of the BC Hockey League as an assistant coach.

Schaefer recorded 99 goals and 252 points in nine NHL seasons, which included two stints with the Vancouver Canucks.

A native of Yellow Grass, Sask., Schaefer began his NHL career in Vancouver. The Canucks drafted him with the 66th overall pick in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft after he recorded 124 goals and 172 assists in three seasons with the WHL’s Brandon Wheat Kings.

Schaefer’s Wheat Kings’ squad won the WHL championship in 1996, and he won a WHL MVP award in 1997.

Schaefer joined the Canucks as a rookie in 1999, and played three seasons in Vancouver.

He was traded to the Ottawa Senators before the 2002-03 season for current Canucks defenceman Sami Salo, and was then traded to the Boston Bruins in July, 2007.

Schaefer ended his career with the Canucks, playing 16 games at the start of the 2010-11 season before being placed on waivers.

“It is exciting for me to join an organization that has been very successful on the ice, and has helped 13 players get university scholarships last season alone,” said Schaefer.

“I hope to use my experience to help the players continue to improve and reach their full potential both on and off the ice.”

The Eagles said that Schaefer will also work with the team in a player development role.

“I am excited about the addition of Peter to the coaching staff,” said Eagles head coach Matt Erhart. “He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the program and will be very beneficial in assisting the players in helping them reach their hockey goals.”
