Retired senator claims ‘adverse, baseless and unsubstantiated accusations’

Senate audit singles out St. Germain Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Retired B.C. senator and former longtime South Surrey resident Gerry St. Germain says he is prepared to defend himself against allegations he expensed more than $67,000 inappropriately while still in office.

A report on senators’ expenses tabled this week by auditor general Michael Ferguson included St. Germain, 77, in

a list of cases referred to “other authorities such as the RCMP.” But in a statement released to media prior to the report being tabled, St Germain said he was exploring his options for dealing with what he claimed are “adverse, baseless and unsubstantiated accusations.”

“My efforts now will focus on defending my hard-earned reputation and challenging a process that has been

unfair and unjust,” he states.

Ferguson’s audit – which cost taxpayers $23.5 million – turned up some $1 million in allegedly questionable expenses claimed by 30 current and former senators.

Now a Langley resident, St. Germain – a former cabinet minister, Conservative party organizer, police officer, air force pilot, poultry farmer and land developer – sold his Indian Springs Land and Cat-

tle Co. Ranch on 8 Avenue – the scene of many charity and political events, following his retirement in 2012.

He is one of nine singled out in the report and referred for further investigation, either for allegedly misrepresenting their principal residence or, as in St. Germain’s case, for claiming expenses for which “there was such a pervasive lack of evidence, or signifiGerry St. Germain i see page 4 retired senator

‘Pastor Robin’ opened the Church of the Holy Smoke in a tent structure on Marine Drive two months ago, and hopes to move it into his rental house.

Holy Smoke’s goal ‘is to keep pot off the beach and off the street’

Makeshift church given 30 days to clear Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A makeshift church erected on White Rock’s Marine Drive is the subject of a city bylaws investigation following concerns it appears to encourage drug use.

The complaint regarding the tent structure was received June 4, officials confirmed.

But the man behind the tan-coloured lounge

– which is adorned on the outside with signs stating ‘Best Buds’ and ‘Open to all 18+’ – said that aside from one neighbour, negative reaction to the ‘Church of the Holy Smoke’ only started Wednesday, as word of its presence started to draw attention.

“Something smells fishy,” said the man, who calls himself Pastor Robin, noting he received a 30-day eviction notice from his landlord that

cited plans to redevelop the property.

“If there’s some improprieties happening here and this is something to get rid of me, I’m going to have a political fight.”

During a visit earlier in the week, Robin told Peace Arch News he has only good intentions.

“Our goal is to keep pot off the beach and off the street,” he said. i see page 4

Operators of a South Surrey gym have fired one staff member and are reviewing security protocols after a toddler escaped unnoticed from the facility’s child-minding area Monday evening.

“She slipped out with another little child (who was leaving with his family),” Colleen Kirk, spokesperson for Steve Nash Sports Club, confirmed Thursday.

“This happened, it shouldn’t happen, it should never happen again.

We don’t know how she got out that door with nobody noticing.”

Kirk said the 21-month-old was discovered missing from the kid zone by her dad at about 7:45 p.m.

Parent Matt Hendrick told CTV News he felt “completely helpless” in the situation. After a panicked search, he found his daughter with a stranger at a nearby Starbucks.

Online commenters were critical, with one noting it is sheer luck that story did not end tragically.

Kirk agreed, and said that in addition to reviewing protocols, the gym’s executive and engineering teams are considering structural changes to the childcare area and are “immediately” retraining all staff.

“The safety of children, it doesn’t matter how much work it takes, it has to be done.”

City monitors results after developer urges support from neighbouring residents

White Rock looks for OCP survey ‘skew’ Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

The City of White Rock is “monitoring the situation” after concerns were raised last week about a developer’s involvement in the city’s Official Community Plan survey.

Several White Rock residents raised the alarm after receiving an email June 1 from Elegant Development Inc. encouraging them to complete the survey, which launched last month to gather feedback from residents as the city begins updating its OCP. “We need your help filling it out yourselves, if you are White Rock/South Surrey residents and also any friends/family who can help,” the email said. “This is very important for ‘The Oxford’ project.”

The Richmond-based real estate developer is proposing two highrise towers – 21 and 24

stories – to be built on a 2.7-acre parcel of land on Oxford Street, previously owned by Epcor, the city’s water provider.

When asked about residents outside of White Rock completing the survey, the city’s director of development and planning, Karen Cooper – who is spearheading the OCP update project – directed inquiries to the city’s communications officer, Shannon Levesque.

Levesque told Peace Arch News Tuesday that there are methods in place within the anonymous survey to distinguish residents and business owners in White Rock from those outside of the city. In addition to a question about what neighbourhood respondents identify with, surveys done online require participants to complete a pre-registration process, Levesque said.

“Before you’re even allowed to answer the survey, it does request that you have a formal White Rock address,” she explained.

Levesque later responded via email to inquiries about the developer’s emails, noting that the city was aware of the situation and has been in contact with Elegant, who issued a followup email June 3 with “brief clarifications” about the survey.

“The OCP survey is only intended for White Rock residents and/or business owners,” the email states.

A request for comment from Elegant was not received by PAN press deadline Thursday.

Levesque said by email that city staff are in the process of reviewing the submitted surveys for any problems related to the developer’s involvement.

“Currently, there does not seem to be an obvious skew in the results, and we are monitoring the situation,” Levesque wrote. “The survey closes June 17 and we will be reporting out to council on the results including addressing any skews.”

The concerns stemming from the email Elegant sent earlier this month come on the heels of another controversy regarding the proposed Oxford Street development.

In April, the city admitted to providing the names and home addresses of neighbouring residents to Elegant, who used that information to mail residents invitations to a public meeting about the project.

Cooper said at the time it was a process that had taken place in the past, but the policy had been reviewed so that it would not happen again.

Victims ‘not co-operative’

Three men shot, one in ‘grave’ condition Monique Tamminga Black Press

One Surrey man was listed in grave condition and two others less seriously injured after a shooting in a quiet south Langley neighbourhood early Thursday morning.

Around 2:30 a.m., RCMP started receiving calls about shots fired inside a home in the 2500-block of 204 Street in Brookswood.

At Peace Arch News press deadline Thursday, the most seriously injured man was said to suffer from life-threatening injuries. One of the victims had already been released from hospital.

Investigating officers said all three men are from Surrey, known to police and are not residents of the home where the shots were fired. Two are 22 years old, one is 29, police said.

“These two men have not been overly co-operative with police,” said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Largy.

Police said they have no suspects and very little information to go on. It was unclear if the shootings were tied to the ongoing drug-war shootings in Surrey/North Delta.

RCMP said there wasn’t an illegal marijuana grow-operation there.

(As a policy, police don’t confirm locations of medicinal grows.)

Anyone with information is asked to call RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Speed investigated as potential factor in crash

Motorcyclist ‘critical’ after collision Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A motorcyclist was airlifted to hospital in critical condition following a collision with another vehicle in South Surrey Wednesday.

The incident occurred just before noon in the 1800-block of 160 Street, when the northbound motorcyclist collided with a southbound Volkswagen as the VW turned left into the Breakaway Bays residential complex.

The 43-year-old motorcyclist, a White Rock resident whom police did not identify, was airlifted from nearby Earl Marriott Secondary.

The driver of the Volkswagen, an 83-year-old South Surrey man, was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

As of Thursday morning, the motorcyclist remained in critical condition.

Off-duty West Vancouver firefighter Jef Young was among the first people on the scene following the crash. He had just put his young daughter down for a nap when he heard the familiar sound of acceleration, followed by silence. The latter is what made him investigate, he told Peace Arch News at the scene.

Young found a motorcycle on its side, and debris – including a vehicle’s bumper – strewn across the entrance road to Breakaway Bays.

A black Volkswagen was in the median. Witnesses were scrambling to help.

It took a second to find the motorcyclist, who had been thrown by the impact and landed “50 to 60 feet” north of the cross street.

Young said the motorcyclist had obvious broken bones and was not responsive. He helped stabilize the man until paramedics arrived.

Police say the motorcycle’s speed is being considered as a factor in the collision.

The road was closed for several hours Wednesday while officers with the Mounties’ Criminal Collision Investigation Team and Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service investigated.

i from page 1 cant contradictory evidence, that we were prevented from reaching an audit opinion about whether the expenses had been incurred for parliamentary business.”

The audit – for the period between April 1, 2011 and March 31, 2013 – found St. Germain had claimed expenses totalling $55,588 that “were not primarily for parliamentary business.”

There were further expenses of “at least $12,000,” Ferguson’s department found, “for which we had conflicting or insufficient information to determine that they had been incurred for parliamentary business.”

Among expenses under the magnifying glass were travel costs for St. Germain’s staff to attend political, charity and pri-

vate events, including his 50th wedding anniversary, held at Hazelmere Golf and Tennis Club in 2011 – which Prime Minister Stephen Harper also attended.

Fellow high-profile B.C. senator and former Olympic gold-medal skier Nancy Greene Raine was also among those alleged to have filed inappropriate expenses – which included her attendance at St. Germain’s anniversary party.

St. Germain and Raine, along with many of the other senators identified in the audit, have said they were claiming expenses in compliance with Senate rules and policies in place during the audit period and believed that the expenses represented parliamentary business.

But in a news conference following the release of his findings,

Ferguson noted an “overall lack of transparency and accountability” on the part of senators, which, he said, seemed to be “a stronglyheld party of the culture.”

In formal comments on the allegations published as part of the auditor general’s report, St. Germain said he had asked Ferguson’s staff for a definition of the term “parliamentary business” as it applied to the audit, but had received no reply.

He said he had shredded documents in anticipation of a move to a smaller residence, without knowing an audit would be conducted, and that in the absence of documentation, he had supplied numerous contacts, including staff, who could have vouched for the expenses as being for “the public benefit.”

i from page 1 Sitting with a coffee mug at a table adorned with various paraphernalia, including a vaporizer and a substance he identified as ‘shatter’ – a chemical derivative of marijuana – Robin said the idea was to create a place where residents and visitors alike are “able to enjoy what they like to do best.”

“We want a site that’s safe for cannabis users.”

It opened about two months ago, and while not yet recognized by the Canadian government, is affiliated with same-named Rastafarian establishments in Australia and South Africa, he said.

There are no church services per se, however, “we discuss all sorts of relevant topics and how to do things” to make the community safer and stronger.

Karen Cooper, the city’s director of development services. told PAN Tuesday that the city is “working with the owner and the resident to take it down.”

Cooper confirmed police are involved, however, “there’s not too much we know at this point.”

Robin – who declined to give his last name – told PAN Tuesday that officials he had dealt with to that point, including police, had “been very supportive.”

Const. Shaileshni Molison, however, disputed the degree of support.

“I wouldn’t say we’re supportive,” Molison said, noting investigation is ongoing. “From a policing perspective, of course, anything that’s criminal or involves

Inside the ‘Holy Smoke’ tent. any public-safety issues, we would get involved in that.

“Marijuana… is not a legal substance.”

Robin said there is no selling of marijuana “whatsoever” at the site, and that anyone wanting to partake inside must “bring your own stuff.”

“This is not, technically, breaking the law,” he said, noting that if Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is elected, “pot’s legal” and “we’re the ones who are going to set the standard here” for such lounges.

But the establishment has at least one White Rock man concerned about the potential negative impact it could have on youth who frequent the beach.

“What it appears is that they’re allowing some sort of smoke in there, and I don’t think that’s appropriate for the kids,” said Ron Eves, describing it as a “tempest in a teapot.”

“If my neighbours are blazing a few in the backyard, I could care less, but… I just couldn’t see it being a good thing for the kids and the community.”

Robin – who has lived in a house on the property for eight months – was adamant the facility is “adult only and cannabis only.”

It’s also constantly supervised, he said, noting he and others on its board have called police to deal with misbehaving visitors.

“The safety of this community is foremost,” he said.

Robin and others who were visiting Tuesday also lauded the health benefits of marijuana.

Robin is confident that smoking pot is what enabled him to recover from injuries he suffered in a house fire four years ago.

Doctors told him he’d never walk or be able to care for himself again, he said.

“I honestly believe pot brought me back,” he said.

Erin, 34, said marijuana helps her deal with tennis elbow and other joint pain.

“It’s like smoking a sauna for me,” she said.

There’s also more to the church than smoke, Robin said. He said those behind it also support cancer sufferers at Surrey Memorial Hospital with cannabis-related items; feed the homeless; and provide sanctuary to women escaping abusive relationships.

“We support everybody.”

Robin said he’s also prepared to stand his ground. If the ‘church’ is ordered to shut down, it will become a legal matter, he said, noting “we do have lawyers.”

After Wednesday’s eviction notice, he said he is “ready to take on the world.”

Hospitals remain severely congested in Fraser Health, and by some measures the problem has worsened despite repeated vows in recent years to improve conditions.

Three years ago this month, a 2012 congestion review warned hallway medicine was so rampant in Fraser that staff were “resigned” that the jammed conditions would remain “intractable.”

At that time, just 51 per cent of patients admitted through emergency were getting a bed within 10 hours.

Past wrongs need to be recognized

T

he final report from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which has been gathering information and evidence from aboriginal people all across Canada for the past six years, was released last week.

Its contents make for disturbing reading.

The commission comes to the conclusion that the government of Canada, and Great Britain before it, practised “cultural genocide” on First Nations people all across the country, through a wide variety of means. The most notable was residential schools, which had a mandate from the government to “take the Indian out of the child” by refusing to allow children to speak their native language, by removing them from home at young ages, by banning First Nations cultural ceremonies and replacing them with religious ceremonies, and ultimately by breaking up the family unit.

The damage this has done is evident all around us. While the Lower Mainland has a significant number of First Nations people living on the street, the numbers here pale when compared to cities like Regina and Winnipeg.

First Nations children continue to be taken from their families due to concerns about neglect and abuse. Far too many of the children referred to in B.C. Children’s Commmissioner Mary-Ellen Turpel-Lafond’s reports are of native background.

The languages once spoken by First Nations people (there were dozens of distinct languages in B.C. alone) have almost completely disappeared, although small groups are trying mightily to preserve them by teaching them to young children. The challenge is that few adults know the languages any more.

All of these things can be directly traced to government policy and a determination to ensure that there would be little distinction between the aboriginal people who have lived in this land for countless generations, and the immigrants from other parts of the world.

The commission makes a multitude of recommendations to try and bring about genuine reconciliation.

These need careful study, but the first step must be for all Canadians to recognize the wrongs of the past and learn from them.

province still throbbing with the raw anger of divisiveness. It was hot and humid in Montreal and there were enough à vendre signs on Ste-Catherine and St. Laurent to serve as a backdrop in a Great Depression documentary.

The reverberation from the referendum was still there.

It was in the attitude of the waiter on St. Denis who refused to address me when I asked for a coffee in English.

It was in the anger of the woman who asked me a question in a mall, turned on her heel and stalked off in a huff when I offered the little French I knew: Je ne parle pas Français.

It was in the traitorous gluttony of the poutine-eating woman draped in the Fleur-de-lis at the Expos baseball game who refused to stand and respect the national anthem of Canada, deciding instead to devour her dish and give a gastronomic finger to the Maple Leaf.

But it was in the newspaper hawker who sold me a Gazette on the patio of Sir Winston Churchill’s at four in the morning and sat to chat about my beloved B.C. Lions’ loss the night before.

It was in the impressive attempt by a store clerk who tried like hell to talk to me in English, despite the fact she was 100 per cent Francophone.

Jacques Parizeau’s shadow loomed large during that August visit to Montreal.

Twenty years later, it still does – and one can hope that shadow is all but smothering the separatist movement for good.

To criticize EMS and the almost 2,000 students attending the school – when it only takes a few to make such an awful mess – is unjust.

They are simply a handy target.

These students returned to school last September, and Alderwood Park was already a mess – the garbage cans overflowing, the litter scattered.

This happens every year, as it is the Earl Marriott students – under the supervision of generous and caring teachers – who have cleaned the park and emptied garbage cans, which the city will no longer service.

Garbage cans are empty during the week, as class groups and members of the Global Citizens Club empty them. They fill up on the weekends!

Several years ago, the principal locked the gate that provides access to the park, thus forcing the students to go around and avoiding such misplaced criticism. It was at the request of the townhouse residents that gate was reopened so they could use this shortcut while out walking.

Alderwood is a public park and a public throughway. Our school grounds are public property as well, but they are maintained and tidy.

The mess obviously goes beyond the students, and yet the assumption is the mess is all theirs, while they are not credited for any of the ongoing cleanup they have provided the park for many years. Most of the 2,000 students do clean up after themselves, as well as after some messy members of the community.

Criticizing caring, hardworking students will not motivate them to continue to be good custodians.

I am proud of our students and suggest that rather than blaming them, it would be better to turn the focus to the community who use the park and the city, which should be responsible for emptying the cans and providing bylaw enforcement.

Education on street safety Editor: Re: Danger only a matter of time, June 5 letters.

I read with interest Garry Wieler’s letter in Friday’s Peace Arch News.

A couple of years ago, I was nearly knocked over on the sidewalk by a skateboarder. Being a polite young man, he apologized and I hope has learnt his lesson.

Last week, I was walking on the sidewalk on North Bluff Road from Oxford Street towards the mall and encountered two teenagers on

bicycles riding pell-mell down the pavement towards me.

Being a fit senior, I managed to jump out of the way. However, had I been using a walker, the outcome would have been very different, with injuries to both parties.

So yes, parents, please have a word with your ‘children’ about safety on our streets.

Residents need their city’s help Editor: Re: Street parking raises concerns for resident, June 3.

I was deeply shocked to read the comment from White Rock’s planning director that a parking plan was not required for the construction of the Cressey development on Vidal Street because on-street parking is permitted in the area.

I guess she feels a 12-storey highrise is not a major project.

Vidal is a short, narrow side street with limited on-street parking. The apartment buildings only have one parking stall per unit and no on-site visitors parking, therefore residents who have two vehicles, and visitors, have to park on the street.

Over the years, parking spots on Vidal have decreased. When five townhouses were built, parking spots were taken up by driveways. A yellow construction fence currently blocks off a site with a development proposal, which has been up for four years now – no parking allowed there. There is no parking allowed in

front of our building; it is kept open for emergency and delivery vehicles.

Parking problems have already started. One day, during construction of the sales centre, three asphalt trucks parked in the no-parking area. When they were approached by residents, the drivers said city staff were aware of them parking there.

When city staff were contacted, we were told that parking officers can only issue one ticket a day; the truck drivers just accepted the fine and parked there all day anyway.

Residents of Vidal and Vine streets are faced with two years of construction hell, and now it looks like we will have the extra burden of not having enough parking spaces.

Permits should include requirement to have a parking plan for all vehicles related to the construction. Vidal Street parking needs to be kept for residents only, and no-parking signs needs to be respected.

Once again, it seems city council and staff have neither empathy nor understanding of taxpaying residents. Or maybe they do not care, preferring instead to accommodate the needs of developers.

The residents of Vidal Street could really do with one of the city’s “good neighbour policies” right now.

Most feel they have no voice Editor: At 22 years of age, my opinion means absolutely nothing to my government, the general public and

maybe even to myself.

I’ve been sitting here wondering why that is; why I feel that my words hold no weight. Is this how our government had wanted it?

I’ve examined people around me in their 40s and 50s. You know the type. They went through school, they studied hard, they had kids, raised their families, and they trust their government.

Meanwhile, their children were taught much of the same things they were. All the basics of compliance.

Schools don’t teach you to have a voice and to speak up for what you know is right, they don’t teach you to be fearless in speaking your mind or even show you that you have purpose in this world. This is something you have to work hard to find within yourself after untangling the fears wrapped in your mind.

They shuffle you around instilling fear in you. They show you, exactly, how to mindlessly follow – with the exception of very few teachers – and they teach you “practicality,” which actually just means “your dreams are too big, think smaller because that’s what you are.”

There is no other logical explanation as to why the vast majority of people feel like they have no voice. Our voices have been slowly taken away from us in such a way that we believe it is ourselves stifling that voice. We have been taught how to stifle ourselves and believe it’s our place.

I will not believe this lie that’s been forced down my throat too many times. I strongly oppose Bill C-51. I won’t let them make it legal to stifle me, and you shouldn’t either.

City of Surrey’s multi-bin system – which alternates garbage and recycling collection – creates difficulties for some.

Holiday pickup poses problems Editor: Do you know what the heck is going on with garbage pickup in Surrey?

Not only do they discourage recycling now – as they only pick up recycling every two weeks, instead of every week – they also pick up garbage on stat holidays when people may be out of town and cannot possibly put it out themselves.

I lived in Vancouver my whole life, and we never had garbage pickup on stat holidays for this very reason. If you put garbage out three days early, the animals get into it; or the thieves get into your house, as it’s a red flag you are not home.

Talking to city hall, I was told my neighbours should do it for us – but they aren’t home either.

Or, we should put it out the following week – which would be a great idea, but we have to alternate weeks with garbage and then recycling, and it means we would have two extra weeks worth of garbage or recycling.

If that doesn’t work, I was told, I should take it to the dump myself. What we are paying our garbage fees for in our property taxes? To drive it ourselves to the dump?

Plus, I want to know how many people are struggling with what they are supposed to put where – recyclinggarbage-compost – as the City of Surrey is threatening to fine people for putting the wrong thing in them.

They have given us a list with a few examples, and yet there are thousands of different things that you really have to decide where they go.

Shots were fired outside a Surrey restaurant on Monday evening and while the suspects and intended targets fled, Surrey RCMP are confident they’ll be able to quickly identify some of the people involved.

Officers believe “this incident to be linked to the series of Surrey/ Delta shootings that have occurred over the past few months.”

Gunfire was reported in a parking lot near 72 Avenue and 120 Street (Scott Road) – the border street between Surrey and Delta – just after 9 p.m.

Officers recovered evidence at the scene confirming shots had been fired and spoke to witnesses who said the suspect vehicle may have been a silver SUV that fled the scene.

Two males who had been eating at the Earls

restaurant appear to have been the intended targets, police say.

They also fled in a blue vehicle before police arrived.

There were no injuries reported and the men thought to be targeted have not contacted police.

“We have recovered a substantial amount of evidence at the scene and believe we will be able to identify some of these people quickly,” said Surrey RCMP Sgt. Dale Carr.

Police say they’re concerned about the most recent shooting as it took place in such a public area. There are several restaurants and businesses near the busy intersection, as well as a movie theatre nearby.

There have been more than 30 shootings in Surrey and Delta since March.

around White Rock, it is clear that some businesses do well.

Most are well-established and have figured out how to keep costs under control. Some do outstanding jobs and have very loyal customers.

There are virtually no big-box stores in White Rock, but there are no shortage of them across the street in Surrey. Leakage to South Surrey is a continuing challenge for White Rock business operators, who at the same time pay higher taxes than their competitors a short distance away.

There is only so much White Rock can do.

It would be worthwhile for the city to look closely at business costs that it can control, and see if there are any opportunities to reduce costs to business people.

Surrey, on the other hand, needs to also do its best to keep taxes and costs as low as possible.

A vibrant small business culture does exist in Surrey and it is a key part of the city’s overall economic activity.

The report is a useful one, as it should encourage cities to keep doing what works well and look at way to make the business climate as favourable as possible.

South Surrey couple share story to raise awareness about symptoms, support networks

The long road to recovery after stroke Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

A

nn Baker knows the signs of a stroke as well as anyone.

The 72-year-old South Surrey resident came face-to-face with the symptoms nearly two years ago, when her husband, Bill, suffered what doctors described as a “catastrophic” stroke while the couple were at their summer cabin near Bellingham.

Considering the severity of Bill’s stroke, the Bakers consider themselves lucky. After first-responders rushed Bill to St. Joseph hospital in Bellingham, doctors were able to perform a CT-scan and begin administering blood-thinners within an hour and a half of his symptoms first appearing.

He did, however, suffer major damage as a result – his speech was severely impaired, he was temporarily paralyzed on his right side and he was unable to read for months afterwards.

What followed was half a year of hospitalization and rehabilitation treatment, first at Surrey ❝Don’t think that Memorial Hospital’s Place, then you’re exempt Laurel at the Rehab Early just because Discharge (REDi) you do the right program, a six-week things.❞ outpatient program operated by Fraser Ann Baker Health.

Back home since Christmas 2013, Bill, 76, has seen plenty of improvement in his mobility – he’s able to walk on his own, although he still attends biweekly physiotherapy sessions.

His speech is still an issue – he was diagnosed with aphasia (the inability to say a word) and apraxia (the inability to find a word) and has a rigorous speech-therapy regime he follows at home.

“All things considered, we’re fortunate,” Ann said. “He’s not in a wheelchair. He’s able to speak – some days better than others.”

Bill’s stroke has had a huge impact on the couple’s lives, Ann admits. They’re not sure how long they’ll be able to stay in their house, as the maintenance and upkeep become too much for Ann to take on herself. She spends much of her time as “taxi driver,” transporting Bill, a retired Vancouver police officer, to and from his many weekly appointments.

There’s no question, Ann said, that the experience has heightened her awareness of the potentially deadly health condition.

Stroke statistics • A stroke is a sudden loss of brain function, caused by the interruption of blood flow to the brain, or the rupture of blood vessels in the brain.

• An average of 62,000 strokes occur in Canada each year, which equates to one stroke every nine minutes.

• 83 per cent of those who have a stroke and make it to hospital will survive • 1.9 million brain cells die every minute after a stroke • According to a recent poll., only half of Canadians know the signs of a stroke.

• A new campaign is urging Canadians to remember FAST, an acronym to help recognize the signs of stroke and take action: - Face - is it drooping?

- Arms - can you raise both?

- Speech - is it slurred or jumbled?

- Time - call 911 right away

Melissa Smalley photo

South Surrey residents Bill and Ann Baker, who have both survived strokes, are raising awareness about the signs of the potentially deadly health condition.

Which is why when she felt numbness in her left arm while cleaning up after breakfast at their cabin over the May long weekend, Ann immediately knew something was wrong.

She raised both arms above her head

– one of the first things you’re instructed to do if you suspect you’re having a stroke – and had no mobility problems. As she turned to check if her face appeared droopy in the mirror – another common indicator – she noticed she had weakness in both

legs, and decided she needed to get to the hospital.

Doctors determined she had suffered what’s known as a transient ischemic attack – a ‘mini-stroke’ that didn’t cause permanent damage.

The incident came as a surprise not only to Ann, who strives to lead a healthy lifestyle, but to her family doctor.

“My doctor tells me if his patients were as healthy as me, he’d be out of business,” she said, noting she doesn’t exhibit any of the risk factors for stroke, which include obesity, poor diet, diabetes, smoking, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

“I do all the right things, and I still had it.

Don’t think that you’re exempt just because you do the right things.”

As important as knowing the risks and symptoms associated with a stroke is knowing what support networks are available in the community, Ann pointed out.

As chair of the White Rock South Surrey Stroke Recovery Club – an organization the Bakers were referred to in early-2014 after Bill finished the REDi program – Ann is working on getting the word out about what the volunteer-driven club offers for stroke survivors. › see page 12

Stroke survivors take part in physiotherapy at the White Rock South Surrey Stroke Recovery Club, which meets Tuesday and Thursday mornings at the Centre for Active Living.

Melissa Smalley photo

Recovery group seeking members › from page 11 Members meet Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:3011:30 a.m. at their headquarters in the Horst and Emmy Werner Centre for Active Living, where they take part in an hour of speech therapy and an hour of physiotherapy, led in a group setting by qualified therapists.

Though members pay an annual fee of $100, and a drop-in fee of $1 each time they attend, Ann said the cost is minimal compared to what some stroke survivors pay for private therapy, which can cost upwards of $150 per session.

“If you want to do that once or twice a week, it’s not very long before you’re paying big money,” she said. “There are so many people that simply don’t have the resources to pay for that, and they need it.”

Ann said the club has been experiencing dwindling membership in recent months, and with the high cost of its lease at the CAL, is at risk of going under if things don’t improve.

“People are still having strokes as much as they were before, but they’re not coming in our door,” Ann said, noting the REDi

program used to bring patients to the club, but aren’t able to do that anymore due to financial cutbacks.

“The connection has really been broken.”

In addition to attracting more stroke survivors, the club is hoping to sublet an additional 17x17-foot room within their space at the CAL, which Ann said sits empty most days of the week.

Anyone interested in finding out more about the stroke recovery club can call 604-5364673, or drop in on a Tuesday or Thursday morning.

Vancity Listens! Why Not Charities?

A fire March 10 destroyed a waterfront business.

Business lost in March 10 blaze

Help for family A community potluck is planned for this weekend to support a Peninsula family that lost their waterfront business in a fire earlier this year.

The event, organized

by Marine Drive resident Christy Fox, is set for this Saturday (June 13) at White Rock Community Church, and will include food and a silent auction, featuring items donated by local residents and businesses.

Funds raised by the auction will go to the Dos Santos family, owners of Gelateria Italia & Coffee Shop on Marine Drive, which was destroyed after a dramatic fire – later deemed accidental – ripped through the

building in the early morning hours of March 10.

Two weeks after the blaze, Jose and Eliete Dos Santos told Peace Arch News they were hoping to reopen for the summer at another waterfront location.

However, according to Fox, the family has yet to find a place to relocate their business, and are still in the midst of dealing with a “complex” insurance claim.

Fox said the response to the gathering so far has been “really good.”

Saturday’s event kicks off at 5 p.m. at 15280 Pacific Ave. To find out more, or to donate an item for auction, call Fox at 604-789-1049.

I am a member of the Donors Rights Society, a nonprofit organization that believes in a strong vibrant public charity presence in every community by advocating for the rights of all donors who support public charities. We believe every person that supports a public charity as a volunteer or financial supporter should have the opportunity to become a voting member of the charity they support.

Too many of our public charities have a very restrictive voting membership policy which limits voting membership to members of the board of directors. In these charities the great majority of volunteers and financial supporters cannot attend the Annual General Meeting, cannot participate in the board nomination process, cannot attend membership meetings and ask board members or staff questions about how they manage the donations that have been entrusted to them.

I recently attended the Vancity Credit Union Annual General Meeting. As I approached the meeting venue entrance I was surprised to see Tamara Vroonman the President and Chief Executive Officer of Vancity making a great effort to personally greet as many members as possible. As I entered the lobby area I was directed to a registration table where I was given a voting pad which would record my vote on various agenda items that would be presented to the membership.

I then made my way to the conference room where a “member conversation with directors” would be held. The purpose of this forum was to give members an opportunity to talk directly to Vancity board members and share their opinions and ideas on how Vancity could better serve the needs of members and their communities.

I believe many of our public charities would be well served if they adopted the “community engagement” operating philosophy that has made Vancity one of the most respected financial institutions in the world.

Sincerely,

John Block donor, volunteer, neighbour President, Donors Rights Society

Sylvia Yee has written Peace Arch News column since 1989

Longtime seniors columnist reflects on 25 years Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

The Peace Arch News’ longest-running columnist is passing the torch to a new writer.

Beginning next Wednesday, Sylvia Yee – who has been the face of PAN’s Seniors Scene column for more than 25 years – will no longer write the weekly events column, and it will instead be penned by her City of White Rock colleague, Dianne Sawicki.

Yee – currently White Rock’s manager of community recreation – has worked with the city since 1988, starting as a recreation programmer.

About one year into her tenure, a department secretary, who had been in charge of the column, suggested it be written by one of the programmers.

“She got tired of writing it, so I relented and I’ve been doing it every since,” Yee said.

“And after all these years, it’s still my face in there. Now, we’ll see if people figure out that

Nick Greenizan photo

Dianne Sawicki (left) will take over PAN’s seniors column from Sylvia Yee. it’s Dianne doing it, and it’s a different face in the paper.”

Yee downplays her role in the column’s popularity, instead insisting it’s simply a good way to let seniors in the community know what is going on in a particular week.

“It’s not an opinion column or anything, it’s just information – encouraging people to get out and do things.”

Though she is giving up her column-writing duties, Yee is quick to point out she isn’t retiring, nor leaving the City of White Rock. Instead, she’s just focusing on other things.

“The job is evolving.

I’m just giving up this one thing. I’m not retiring or anything – we are just starting wild rumours about that,” she laughed.

Though she admits she won’t necessarily miss seeing her smiling face in the paper each week – nor the “gentle reminders” from PAN staff when, once in awhile, she is a little late emailing her column to the newsroom – Yee, who worked with seniors at Vancouver General Hospital before taking her job in White Rock, is still as committed as ever to working with the city’s seniors.

Father’s Day Look-A-Like Contest Please send us your favourite Father and Child Look-A-Like pictures!

Your pictures will be entered into a random draw and will be eligible to win 1 of 3 great prizes for Dad.

We will also publish as many photos as possible in our special Father’s Day Feature on June 17th.

Since the late 1980s, she has seen the Kent Street Activity Centre – and seniors’

programs citywide – expand greatly, which is something she is proud to have been a part of.

“There are more programs now, and the philosophy behind (Kent Street) is that it’s run by volunteers,” said Yee, as the Kent Street Centre’s weekly sing-along group crooned The Lion Sleeps Tonight in the adjoining room.

“We do have staff, of course, to steer things, but all the groups – like the sing-a-long group,

who you can hear right now – are all run by volunteers. They do it just to be involved in their community.

“There are some seniors, too, who aren’t necessarily ‘joiners’ – they don’t want to (officially) join the bingo group, but they still like to help at it. And that’s great too – it gives them some social interaction, gets them out.”

Keeping seniors involved and active has always been the crux

of the Seniors Scene column, whether it means detailing the city’s latest round of day-trips, or providing information on safedriving workshops, social dances or computer courses.

“There’s less interest in some programs than others, but it’s a very busy place – there’s all kinds of activity groups. We have people who want to stay active, and get out there and be busy.”

History comes to life at Renaissance Festival Alex Browne Arts Reporter

The Renaissance has returned in all its sword-fighting, balladsinging, archery and jousting glory.

Tonight, Saturday and Sunday (June 12-14, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.) the Albion Fairgrounds in Maple Ridge will be a time portal to

the world of England in 1515, as the BC Renaissance Festival celebrates its ninth year at the grounds.

And Surrey residents are among organizers and players in the immersive, interactive experience.

That includes sisters Alessandria and Katrina Testani, who’ll

be taking key roles as Catherine of Aragon (King Henry VIII’s first queen) and member of the court Lady Anne Hastings in an ongoing dramatic storyline of intrigue involving a pirate admiral and a disgruntled Scottish lord.

Meanwhile Bob French, also a Surrey

resident, can be seen roaming the grounds as leader of a band of Gypsies.

Billed as “non-stop entertainment for the entire family” the volunteer-operated event is designed to give 21st century audiences a taste of the excitement of historical life.

There’s realism aplenty in the jousting battles staged by the Jousting Alliance of Washington State, partnered with Hazelnut Grove Clydesdales.

But there’s also plenty of era-appropriate whimsy, magic, fantasy and colourful entertainment, ranging from the kid-friendly flitting visits of Summer the Fairy to the bellydance artistry of the Shimmy for the Soul company, and – for more adult tastes – racy songs served as

For those inclined, it’s an opportunity to dress up Renaissance style, with market vendors selling a range of costume ideas as well as

authentic treats.

Both children and adults can enjoy games of skill and try their hand at the archery range – and there’s even a chance of being knighted by King Henry and his Queen for their efforts.

That it’s easy to get drawn into the historical make-believe of the Renaissance Festival can be seen from Alessandria Testani, who in addition to wearing Catherine’s regal raiment has also taken on publicity chores for this year’s event.

“This is the first year for both of us with the festival,” she said, adding that before joining the Royal Court, she and her sister had an otherwise relatively normal Surrey upbringing, including “going to White Rock beach every summer, playing softball in Guildford and taking ballet classes in Newton.”

“I auditioned for the festival in December and was accepted for the role of Queen Catherine,” Testani said. “A few months later, when we hadn’t found an actor who was the right fit for the role of Lady Anne, I brought in my sister to audition.”

It can turn into a long-term commitment Testani noted, pointing to French as an example.

“He’s been with the festival for quite a few years, first involved as a festival-goer, and eventually he joined on as our volunteer co-ordinator,” she said.

Family and group ticket packages are available and there is special pricing for children, youth and seniors. The Albion Fairgrounds are located at 23118 105 Ave. Maple Ridge.

Musical journey From community festivals, hospitals, and elementary schools to the stage at the Cloverdale Legion, the Versatiles have performed in an array of venues.

Formed in 2005, the Cloverdale-based troupe of golden-aged performers is marking that milestone with a special show – a road trip of sorts.

Vagabonds: Are We There Yet? is a musical trip through history, presented twice on Saturday at Clayton Heights Secondary, first as a 2:30 p.m. matinee and later as an evening show (6:30 p.m.).

Special guest Jennifer Scott is a musician and instructor.

The Versatiles are a non-profit group looking to raise enough money to build a vaudeville-type theatre and entertainment museum in Cloverdale.

Founder Susie Francis Hall comes from a family of entertainers, and she has been performing professionally since the age of seven.

Tickets to Vagabonds are available by calling 604-613-3116.

cQuarrie Hunter is a Surrey-based, multipractice law firm that serves businesses, individuals and institutions in the Lower Mainland and throughout British Columbia.

But the members of McQuarrie Hunter also realize that beyond their commitment to client service and the practice of law, their success depends largely on the well-being of their clients and their families.

With this in mind, the firm has consistently given back to the communities it serves. In particular, McQuarrie Hunter has focused on providing charitable contributions and support to both Surrey Memorial Hospital, through the Surrey Hospital & Outpatient Centre Foundation (formerly the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation), and Royal Columbian Hospital, through the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation.

Six beds serve this function for the entire province and they are located in Vancouver at BC Children’s Hospital.

The Hospital’s former ER is being re-purposed to create CAPSU. A unit that almost 1,000 children a year ( ages 6-17) can access for a 5-7 day stay to undergo diagnosis and initial treatment of their mental illness The need for CAPSU is urgent. Thousands of children and teens in mental distress showed up in Fraser Health’s ERs last year for help.

Currently, there are no short-stay stabilization beds for children and youth in Fraser Health, a region with 30% of the province’s young.

Hunter LLP is a proud member and Past Chair on the board of directors of the Surrey Hospital & Outpatient Centre Foundation.

“At McQuarrie Hunter, we strive to support the health and welfare of our community. Having been a business member of the Surrey community for over 50 years, we are proud supporters of the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation. We are excited to be a small part of the innovative and vital support that Surrey Memorial provides to our growing Surrey community.”

CAPSU will open in 2016 . McQuarrie Hunter’s donation, along with all donations, will be used for equipment and design of this therapeutic Unit.

This state-of-the-art facility is home to 53 medical clinics, including the regional Pacemaker Clinic and the Breast Health Clinic as well as six operating theatres and one of the Lower Mainland’s largest Imaging Departments.

Surrey: A Healthy Community For the last two decades, McQuarrie Hunter has supported every expansion campaign undertaken by the hospital.

Community Commitment McQuarrie Hunter has the distinction of being the first corporate donor to support the Surrey Hospital and Outpatient Foundation’s current $1.3 million campaign to construct a 10 bed Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Stabilization Unit(CAPSU).

“Early identification and treatment of mental illness in children is so terribly important”, says Jane Adams, President and CEO of the Foundation. Mental illness is more likely than any other disease to interrupt a young person’s life. Research clearly shows that proper and timely treatment is effective. It can stop the onset of disease or minimize the long-term impact.

There are few things as important as public access to an efficient and state-of-the-art health care system. By supporting health care in the community, the members of McQuarrie Hunter feel they are able to provide contributions that make a real difference.

Hospitals serve everyone. Although the partners, lawyers and staff are proud of many of the things they do at McQuarrie Hunter, there are few things they consider as rewarding as supporting Surrey Memorial and Royal Columbian hospitals.

McQuarrie Hunter supported the 100 Days to Give Campaign, the catalytic campaign “Early identification and treatment of mental illness in children that raised $10 million so terribly important”, says Jane Adams, president and CEO in start-up funds of the Foundation. “Mental illness is more likely than any for the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and other disease to interrupt a young person’s life”.

Country superstar launches B.C. branch of kids program

Shania visits Surrey school Boaz Joseph Black Press

Never the Twain shall meet?

Hardly that, for 18 Hjorth Road Elementary students on Monday.

Country superstar Shania Twain visited the North Surrey school to open Western Canada’s first Shania Kids Can program to help less fortunate inner-city kids.

The Ontario native and winner of five Grammy Awards, who is currently on tour, told the Grades 1-5 students that she didn’t have it easy growing up in Ontario.

“I was one of the lucky ones,” Twain said of her rags-to-riches musical career.

Asked by eight-year-old Zoe how she became a “famous singer,” Twain said she started by learning how to play guitar at age eight. By age 10, she was writing songs.

“Most of the time, while all of the other kids were outside playing, I was in my room playing with my guitar. My guitar was like my toy.”

Twain told the Hjorth Road kids that her family was so poor they often ran out of soap and shampoo, making it hard for her to socialize.

Shania Kids Can will provide Hjorth Road’s poorest students with school supplies, food and recreation equipment at a clubhouse that will be set up at the school. Students will have access to counselling, academic support and personal skills development, including musical instruments.

Basic supplies can change a child’s whole day, helping them integrate, socialize, become more confident and concentrate on their studies, said Twain.

“This is what this program is set up to do: To stop these kids from falling through the cracks.

It’s based on what I needed at various times in my childhood.”

Twain has already run five Shania Kids Can programs in Canada, two funded by herself.

Surrey’s Shania Kids Can is partnered with The Dilawri Foundation and the Surrey Board of Education.

Board of Education Chair Shawn Wilson said that some students don’t have the same resources and privileges as others, potentially putting them behind.

“Our board has always made it a priority of doing all we can to ensure that all students in our district have every chance to realize their potential,” he said.

Shania Kids Can will operate at Hjorth Road for five years.

opened last month at Morgan Crossing (108 15765 Croydon Dr.) – is hoping to remedy that.

Starting June 20, the store will offer a series of Saturday morning (10-11 a.m.) seminars for children.

“Each week they’ll learn about a different animal – what to feed it, how to take care of it, what its habitat is, how it survives in the wild,” said store manager Rupi Parmar, who added that each session will conclude with feeding the store’s stock of fish.

“It’s a way for us to reach out to the community and the greatest part of it is it’s absolutely free. There’s not many activities for kids you can say that about.”

Having such seminars makes for more informed, and more responsible pet-owners – both children and adults, Parmar said.

“A lot of times when kids get a new pet, it’s new to the parents, too,” he added.

The PetSmart seminars will mainly revolve around the store’s small animals and reptiles, he said, though Parmar hopes to expand it to cats and dogs with the involvement of the SPCA. First session will feature the Pogona genus, or ‘bearded dragon’ lizard.

Summer concert series coming to White Rock Alex Browne Arts Reporter

With high-profile local recording artists and emerging stars of the B.C. indie music scene waiting in the wings, a new look for White Rock public music events promises to be a game-changer.

In a launch of the TD Concerts at the Pier summer series Tuesday at The Boathouse restaurant – and an introduction of this

year’s Canada Day celebration headliner Daniel Wesley – White Rock Business Improvement Association executive director Douglas Smith served notice that “the days of doing small events are over.”

With the support and co-operation of the City of White Rock – and the funding help of major concert series sponsor TD Canada Trust, and additional

sponsorship by RE/MAX – White Rock is focused on providing “regional events of really high quality” on a continuing annual basis, he said.

Headlining the Saturday evening (7-10 p.m.) concert series – planned in co-ordination with 102.7 Peak FM – will be Peak Project winner Good For Grapes (July 4); Fast Romantics (July 11); The Boom Booms (July 18); well-

known local Gary Comeau and the Voodoo All Stars (July 25) and The Matinee (Aug. 8).

Supporting acts will include Tea Petrovic, David Sinclair and Keith Bennett, Rich Hope, Ben Rogers, Tonye Aganaba, Bend Sinister, Colleen Rennison, Sarah Wheeler, Blue Moon Marquee and Lester Quitzau.

“The cool thing about this is it’s free,” he told a crowd of

community movers and shakers, including Mayor Wayne Baldwin and Couns. Lynne Sinclair and David Chesney.

Introducing Wesley, who played a brief set of songs, Smith and Baldwin emphasized the recording artist’s local connection – he was born in Peace Arch Hospital and lived in White Rock for his earliest years – adding that he › see page 28

Theatre on beach returns

Earnest effort Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Oscar Wilde described it, simply, as “a trivial comedy for serious people.”

His farcical play, The Importance of Being Earnest, was becoming a runaway hit in 1895 London – until it was unceremoniously yanked from view after a scandalous court case ‘outed’ his homosexuality to Victorian society, ruining his career.

While some have argued that Wilde’s portrait of double lives in town and country has a deeper subtext related to his own double life, the fact remains that audiences have long taken the play to their hearts on its own terms; as nothing more, or less, than one of the wittiest divertissements ever concocted for the stage.

Now Candace Radcliffe and Rick Harmon – artistic directors of Crescent Beach-based Beach House Theatre – are hoping the oftenrevived Wilde classic will work its magic yet again as the main show for their fourth summer season, showcasing another cast of appealing young actors.

Tickets go on sale June 25 at 7 a.m. (details at www.beachhgousetheatre.org) for the show, which runs only from Aug. 11-16 (8 p.m.) at Beach House’s state of the art-tent theatre at Blackie Spit.

Since it’s such a limited-run, highdemand ticket, booking early is, as always, recommended.

The Importance of Being Earnest is a most accessible show, Radcliffe and Harmon point out, particularly thanks

The Importance of Being Earnest is not lost on (left to right) Tom Gage (as Jack), Bethany Stanley (as Gwendolen), Marika Stanger (as Cecily) and Patrick Dodd (as Algernon) in Beach House Theatre’s summer presentation of the Oscar Wilde classic. to a somewhat streamlined, but faithful, adaptation by UBC theatre department head Errol Durbach.

“He took out a number of references from the time that people would not ‘get’ nowadays, or would have slowed the pace down,” Harmon said.

“It’s a great, bubbly script,” said Radcliffe, “and he’s made it a little better.”

And, unlike the past three Beach House shows – Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Twelfth Night and A Comedy Of Errors – it has the benefit of being in modern English.

HURRY!

“It isn’t in Shakespearean prose,” chuckled Radcliffe, noting the already-expressed concerns of some audience members.

Not that Shakespeare has been forsaken forever by Beach House, she added.

“We still love Shakespeare, and, eventually, we’ll do Shakespeare again. But we started this with the goal of picking classics that we loved and knew that other people would love as well.”

The plot of Earnest, as has been pointed out, is minus overt social or political messages – although Wilde’s epigram-heavy portrait of Victorian Britain is not without

Algernon Moncrieff, idlest of idle young gentlemen (Patrick Dodd), and his best friend, ‘Ernest’ (Tom Gage,) have a somewhat awkward meeting – Ernest wishes to propose to Algernon’s cousin, Gwendolen (Bethany Stanley), but before Algernon will give his blessing to the union, he has a pressing question.

Series focuses on emerging artists › from page 27 and his wife, who are expecting a son, are moving back to the Peninsula shortly before his special Canada Day appearance (July 1, 9 p.m.).

Smith, whose previous event planning and promotion credits include New Westminster’s Concerts at the Quay series, told Peace Arch News that music events such as the concerts series take so much work to stage that it is important to maximize their appeal – and make sure adequate funding is in place.

“The problem with a lot of local events is that they’re underfunded,” Smith said.

“It means they are unable to grow or deliver the kind of quality that is going to grow and resonate with a regional audience. Now we’re in a position to do it properly… so that it becomes a sustainable event that everybody knows about and knows that it will be here each year.”

TD Canada Trust White Rock manager Bob Bezubiak said sponsoring the series was a natural connection for the bank.

“TD’s very much into music – since 2003 we’ve sponsored music events all over Canada,” he told PAN. “I like the fact that this series focuses on emerging artists in B.C. – we love presenting local talent and giving them an

Smith agreed working with Peak Project artists is an opportunity to raise White Rock’s profile, positioning it as an attractive venue for up-andcoming artists.

“I think we’ll have performers and managers asking to be part of this in future,” he said.

Audience appeal is also crucial, he said.

“We’re definitely looking at getting a younger demographic – people that have disposable income who are going to come down here to shop and hang out for the evening. It will create a nice vibe that is part of what is already happening in White

Rock and South Surrey – we just have to tap into it.”

But Smith feels there will be plenty of appeal for all generations in the planned lineup.

“Great music runs through all age groups, and with artists like the Boom Booms and Matinee, it’s great melodic music played by great musicians,” he said. “It wouldn’t matter if you were a teen or in your 90s.”

First of the TD Concerts at the Pier will be July 4, featuring Rich Hope (7 p.m.), David Sinclair and Keith Bennett (8 p.m.) and Good For Grapes (9 p.m.). For further information, visit whiterockbia.com

‘Chalk star’ Martin Hayes captivates students with his work at Chantrell Creek Elementary Wednesday.

Martin Hayes inspires students at Chantrell Creek Elementary Directed by Dale Kelly

Chalk artists shares craft Alex Browne Arts Reporter

“How long have you been doing chalk art?” Chantrell Creek students asked Peninsula ‘chalk star’ Martin Hayes, watching in awe the swift creation of a new threedimensional masterpiece in the foyer of the school Wednesday.

“I’ve been doing it for 25 years,” the custom-sign artist

replied, rapidly cutting pieces of board chalked with eagle figures, all ready to soar over a forest landscape to represent the school’s Eagles theme.

“But if you practise, you can be as good as me.”

Hayes was at the school at the invitation of librarian Sue Soo, organizer of the school’s second annual Sidewalk Chalk Art Festival.

Today (Friday) at 1 p.m., Hayes will provide further inspiration to some 375 budding student chalk artists, as they attempt to cover the entire pavement around the school with their own “art walk” of colourful drawings.

Hayes’ creation – which will be shown alongside the students’ work during the festival – is intended as a permanent display.

Peninsula natives featured in production Algernon – to escape unwelcome social obligations in town, he has created an invalid friend of very fragile health, Bunbury, who he must frequently visit

in the country; which also provides a cover for his own romantic escapades.

While Gwendolen accepts Ernest’s proposal (her admiration for the name Ernest amounts almost to a fetish), her mother, the imperious Lady Bracknell (Michelle Collier) rejects him as a most unsuitable match.

As the action shifts to the country, Jack attempts to persuade Canon Chasuble (James Walker) to re-baptize him as Ernest.

Meanwhile Algernon has arrived on the scene and is fascinating Cecily in the guise of Jack’s reprobate brother, while romance is also in the air for Chasuble, in the person of Cecily’s governess, Miss Prism (Carol Mann).

In the ensuing chaos, Paul Richardson plays three supporting roles, Lane, Gribsby and Morton, while Paul Rancourt is featured as long-suffering manservant Merriman.

“The cast is great, and they’re really up for the challenge,” Harmon said. “There is a great chemistry between Patrick Dodd as Algernon and Tom Gage as Jack; and Michelle as Lady Bracknell – she’s done a lot of Gilbert & Sullivan shows – came into the audition and just blew us away.”

Radcliffe and Harmon add they’re happy to be able to present some Peninsula-raised actors – including Stanley, Stanger and Richardson – in larger showcase roles, while presenting fellow local James Walker, usually known for over-the-top comedy, in a significant change-of-pace as the country canon.

“It’s a very different role for James,” agreed Harmon, “but I think people are going to be impressed.”

Triton alums selected in MLB Draft UBC pitcher drafted in the 36th round

Webb picked by San Diego Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Alex Webb could be bound for warmer climes in the nottoo-distant future, after the White Rock pitcher was drafted Wednesday by the San Diego Padres.

Webb, a pitcher with the UBC Thunderbirds who played for the White Rock Tritons in the BC Premier Baseball League until 2012, was selected in the 36th round.

This past season, Webb – an electrical Alex Webb engineering drafted major at the Point Grey campus – was named an Academic All-American, as well as the NAIA West pitcher of the year.

He finished the season with a win-loss record of 10-3, and had a 2.15 earned-run average.

Webb was chosen four rounds after his teammate, Connor Lillis-White, who was picked in the 32nd round by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

The pair were the 19th and 20th players in the history of the UBC program to be drafted by a Major League Baseball club.

Webb could not be reached

by Peace Arch News’ deadline Thursday morning.

With a year of college eligibility left, the six-foot-two righthander will have to decide whether to turn pro with the Padres or stay at UBC for his senior season. i see page 32

Sports Reporter

former White Rock Triton pitcher may soon be wearing Major League Baseball’s famous pinstripes.

On Monday evening, 22-year-old Jeff Degano – who played in the BC Premier Baseball League for the Tritons in 2009 and 2010, and also pitched for the Whalley Chiefs – was selected in the MLB Draft in the second round, 57th overall, by the New York Yankees.

“I’m beyond excited. Your stomach just drops when you hear your name called,” Degano told Peace Arch News Tuesday from his home in Surrey, where he’s been for the past few weeks after his college season ended.

“Words can’t describe the emotion that was going through me when I heard my name called.”

Prior to the draft – which began Monday and wrapped up Wednesday – Degano was told to expect to be drafted on Day 1, when the first two rounds were held.

But those expectations did little to calm the butterflies in his stomach as he watched the draft unfold.

“I was just waiting and waiting, and in the end, I was a little surprised by it – I didn’t know the Yankees were that interested in me,” said Degano, who watched the draft at home with his family. “I’d spoke to them before, but a lot of teams had shown interest. Then a few weeks ago, (a team scout) called me up and we talked for a bit on the phone.”

Being drafted by a team like the Yankees – one of Major League Baseball’s most storied franchises – was an added bonus, Degano said.

“There’s a lot of history with that team, and everyone’s a Yankees fan growing up, so it’s pretty special. When I was nine years old, I played on a team called the Yankees, so now to get picked by them, it’s mind-boggling – it’s a dream come true,” he said.

Degano grew up playing for Whalley Little League – as a 12-year-old, he was a member of the association’s team that competed at the Little

League World Series – and he played his first year in the BC Premier Baseball League for his home association, before moving to the White Rock for his final two years of eligibility.

It was with the Tritons that he secured a scholarship to play at Marshalltown Community College in Iowa, where he played for two seasons before transferring to Indiana State University, where he starred for the Sycamores.

The six-foot-four left-hander was a secondteam all-star in the Missouri Valley Conference this past season, after posting an 8-3 won-loss record with a 2.36 earned-run average in 99 innings. He also had 126 strikeouts and just 28 walks.

“Degano is a left-hander with a low-tomid-90s fastball and a good breaking ball,” said Damon Oppenheimer, the Yankees’ vice president of domestic amateur scouting, in a news release on the team’s website. “He throws a lot of strikes and has a quality, athletic body.”

For Degano, the road to the professional ranks i see page 35

Q

A.

What is Bio Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Bio identical hormones replacement therapy (BHRT) involves the treatment of hormone deficiencies using hormones that are identical to those naturally produced in the body. Conventional hormone therapy, on the other hand, uses hormones that have been chemically altered so that they can be patented and sold as a drug. It is this chemically altered drug form of hormone therapy that has received much negative attention regarding the side effects associated with hormone therapy.

The goal of Bio identical hormones replacement therapy (BHRT) is to achieve a natural hormone balance in the body resulting in symptom relief and improved well being without the side effects. BHRT is used to treat a variety of hormone deficiencies such as menopause, peri-menopause, hypothyroidism, and adrenal deficiencies. It can also be used to facilitate weight loss and treat infertility, endometriosis, heavy menstrual bleeding, menstrual cramping, premenstrual syndrome, low libido, depression, anxiety, insomnia, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue. Bio identical hormones are made using natural ingredients and available by prescription from local pharmacies.

I have over ten years of experience using BHRT. Your first appointment with me will involve a comprehensive consultation, lab work and physical exam. I will present dietary, nutritional and lifestyle options that will help you achieve hormone balance in the long term and bio identical hormone replacement therapy options to provide more immediate results.

UBC pitcher Alex Webb was drafted by the San Diego Padres Wednesday.

Webb ‘has a lot of upside’ i from page 31 “No matter what (Alex) chooses to do, he has put himself in a great position with all of his hard work, both on the field and in the classroom,� UBC baseball coach Terry McKaig said Wednesday afternoon.

Webb, along with Jeff Degano, are also the latest in a long line of Triton alums to be selected in the MLB Draft, though they’re the first since 2009, when Chad Stang and Kyle Dhanani were both chosen by the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers’ local scout at the time was Peninsula

resident Marty Lehn, who now serves at the Tritons’ GM. Though he’s currently not affiliated with an MLB club – he was a scout with the Philadelphia Phillies last season – Lehn has seen plenty of Webb over the years, and says he has a bright future. “Sometimes, I think people get so hung up on what round you were picked, but I don’t think they realize just how many great players are out there – so many talented players don’t get chosen at all,� Lehn said. “It’s great to see Alex drafted – he has a lot of upside.�

Degano will head to Florida than they did before – the recovery time is long.

But Degano said he never got frustrated or thought about packing it in. Instead, it drove him to work even harder. “Really, it just made me want to play the game even more. Growing up, you kind of just take it for granted, but being away from it, you realize how much you love the game,� he said. “It just fuels the fire to want to come back. “You have to know that your career isn’t over, and that the harder you work,

the better you come back.�

Now healthy, Degano left this week for the Yankees’ team facilities in Tampa, Fla., where he expects to work out for a few weeks and, after signing his first professional contract, then be assigned to one of the organization’s rookie-league teams for the summer. “It’s been a long journey, through all the stages – the PBL, then going to Iowa, then Indiana, then having the setbacks that I had. It’s been a lot of years in the making, but I’m just excited to get going,� he said.

Edward Sokol July 8, 1927 - June 13, 2014

Supporting the BC Cancer Agency

It is with much sadness and great fondness that we remember Edward Joseph Sokol.

Ed was a much-loved husband, father, papa, uncle, brother-inlaw and lifelong friend, who passed away one year ago, surrounded by his family in Surrey, B.C.

Gone is the face we loved so dear, Silent is the voice we loved to hear, Too far away for sight or speech, But not too far for thought to reach, Sweet to remember him who once was here, And who, though absent, is just as dear. ~ Loved and missed by your family

McLAREN, Don Oct. 11 1925 - June 4, 2015 Born to Jean and John McLaren in Leyland Alberta.

Don passed after a long struggle with Parkinson’s and heart disease. Don was able to stay in his own home for most of his illness, cared for lovingly by his wife of 67 years Rosemary née Grieve. He was predeceased by his brothers Ian and Bob and his son Bruce. Don leaves his wife Rosemary and their children Don (Leila), Sheila (Doug), and Mary (Leo). Don also leaves his grandsons Scott (Dove), Bruce, Nathan, Stephen (Jessica), Kyle and Robb and great grand children Elainea, Brandon, Jonathan and Charissa.

Don’s parents emigrated from Scotland and came to the Coal Branch in Alberta where Don was born in Leyland. As a young man he worked in Cadomin in the mines and as a heavy equipment operator.

When the mines closed Don and family moved to Surrey, BC where he worked for the municipality for many years as an electrician. Don was introduced to Rosemary by her brother John, who was also Don’s best friend. They married December 22, 1947.

Don shared a love of the outdoors with Rosemary and they spent many years camping together. Don was an avid fisherman and hunter.

Thank you to the staff at Westminster House for their excellent care of Don in the last weeks of his life.

Donations in lieu of flowers to your favorite charity.
