Police warning issued after 70-year-old hospitalized following attack in her Grandview home

‘Unconscionable’ assault on senior Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Police are warning South Surrey residents to be on the alert after a senior was physically and sexually assaulted in her Grandview-area home Wednesday afternoon.

“This is an incomprehensible crime,” Staff Sgt. Dale Carr said in a news release issued just after midnight Thursday. “To prey on anyone is way offside, but then to prey on a 70-year-old woman is unconscionable.”

Police initially described the incident as an “interrupted break-and-enter.”

Thursday’s statement notes the victim

called police from a neighbour’s home to report the assault, which occurred around noon in the 16700-block of 28 Avenue.

According to police, it took place shortly after the resident returned home from a morning out, when a man entered the home, presented a weapon and restrained the senior.

The intruder demanded cash and other items, but when the woman couldn’t comply, he physically and sexually assaulted her, causing significant injuries, then fled.

The victim was able to free herself from the restraints, and police were alerted just before 2 p.m.

Police raced to the scene and set up a “containment” area, blocking 28 Avenue east from 167 Street and stationing officers at various points of the neighbourhood.

Anyone approaching the area was advised to stay back “for safety reasons.”

As of Peace Arch News press deadline Thursday morning, no one was in custody, no suspect had been identified, the victim remained in hospital and police continued to collect evidence at the crime scene and canvass the neighbourhood for witnesses.

One neighbour described the incident as “really distressing” and an unnecessary esca-

lation of break-ins that have been occurring in the area for more than a year.

Kyle Nielson said police response to incidents in which her home has been aggressively targeted – with break-in attempts as recently as June – has been less than satisfactory, to the point she felt police were ignoring evidence such as fingerprints.

“It’s just very, very, very upsetting that this street has been preyed on and then something like this has to happen,” Nielson said.

“She could’ve been killed. This should not be happening.” i see page 4

‘Disgusting’ discovery

SPCA seizes 57 animals Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

BC SPCA officials seized nearly five dozen animals in various states of distress from a property in south Cloverdale Tuesday.

Investigating a complaint, constables found severely neglected dogs, horses and cats.

Fifty-seven animals were removed from the property.

“We applied for a warrant and did not expect as many animals as we removed,” said Eileen Drever, senior animal protection officer, describing the degree of neglect as “up there” compared to other cases.

“Definitely, it’s disgusting.

“I don’t understand people, when they can’t afford to care for their animals, they should be responsible and try to re-home them instead of, basically, hoarding.”

In all, 35 dogs – including golden retrievers, Dalmatians and Pomeranians – 16 horses and six cats were seized from conditions that kept them without proper access to water, food or shelter. i see page 4

Residents pack developers’ meeting to learn more about 15-storey plan west of town centre

Discontent grows over highrise proposal Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Dozens of White Rock residents crowded into a small meeting room at the Centre for Active Living Tuesday evening to learn more about a 15-storey project proposed for 10 blocks west of the town centre.

It was quickly evident that many were not happy with the plans.

“This is nasty,” Barry Belec told Howard Steiss, a South Surrey resident and vice-president of project proponent Texor Homes Inc., of the 134-unit residential project planned for North Bluff Road at Nichol Road.

“There’s no place for a 15-storey tower in a residential neighbourhood,” added Wilma Boyd, a longtime volunteer on White Rock’s environmental advisory committee.

Naomi Ohlsson, who said she has lived immediately behind the site for the past 23 years, told Steiss that if it goes ahead, “I don’t want to live in White Rock anymore.”

Ohlsson said the project would impact her quality of life and devalue her property, while increasing crime and other safety issues.

Texor’s 134-unit proposal includes twostorey townhouses on the south and west sides of the highrise.

To proceed, it would require rezoning as

Janis Lowe expresses concerns to Texor Homes’ principle Marc Allaire, as (right) attendees peruse display boards detailing the 15-storey highrise proposed for Nichol Road. well as an amendment to the city’s Official Community Plan – currently under review – which designates only White Rock’s town centre as high-density.

While the location of the proposed development – on three lots at 14022 and 14034 North Bluff Rd. and 1590 Nichol Rd. – is several blocks from the town centre, and amongst primarily single-family homes, Steiss said it “makes a lot of sense.”

In addition to being close to transit, not impacting views and needing few, if any, trees to be removed, he told Peace Arch News the “vertical subdivision” would provide a diversity of housing attainable to a wider

range of potential buyers.

Building single-family housing for the equivalent volume of people would require about 13 acres of land, he added.

White Rock resident Dan Driediger, who moved to the city’s town centre three years ago, told PAN he fully supports Texor’s plans; that the project will provide options for those who can’t afford single-family homes.

“That’s how you create affordable (housing), is by density,” Driediger said.

Noting projected growth in Vancouver, Driediger said surrounding communities – including White Rock – have to share the

load.

“I see it as nothing but positive,” he said.

But Janis Lowe, an area resident since 1973, is not convinced. She described the plans as “ridiculous.”

“Nobody wants it and nobody’s listening,” she said. “The City of White Rock is not listening to its residents. Nobody wants the highrises.”

Lowe also disagreed that the units – proposed to range in size from 600 to 1,760 square feet – would be more attainable.

“They’re pushing the average family right out of White Rock,” she said.

Residents Gary Wolgemuth and Fiona MacDermid said they don’t understand why city officials are even considering such an application before the OCP review is complete.

“They’re falling all over themselves to get these projects through. Why not do it properly?” Wolgemuth said.

White Rock’s manager of planning, Eric Shaw, told PAN by email that next steps for any such applications include an internal city review, a meeting with the advisory design panel and a staff report for consideration by the land-use and planning committee.

It would then proceed to council for consideration of readings and a public hearing.

RCMP reach out

Safety’s brewing Alex Browne Staff Reporter

It was an unfamiliar interaction between residents and police at The Moka House in Grandview Corners.

Even though three uniformed officers were present, there was not a flashing light to be seen, no victims coping in the aftermath of a crime or an accident, and not a single ticket being written.

Surrey RCMP Community Services Officer Insp. Ghalib Bhayani and two other uniformed officers were simply there on July 31 to have coffee and chat casually with residents who happened by, as part of the detachment’s ongoing ‘Coffee With A Cop’ campaign.

It was the third such session, following stops in Newton and Cloverdale, Bhayani said – and the process is, intentionally, as much a learning experience for police as it is for the public.

“This is a little new,” he admitted, noting that in previous sessions “we’re getting some difficult questions – generally what kind of police response there was to a specific incident. Each community has its own things going on, and we’re looking more at localizing our police resources.”

Hot-button issues – like the drug turf war that led to numerous recent shootings in Surrey – do come up, he said. But residents are even more likely to voice concerns about traffic congestion and “the kids in the park at 11 or 11:30 at night who are keeping them up.”

And while he wouldn’t wade into the issue of when and where

Insp. Ghalib Bhayani, Surrey RCMP Community Services Officer, listens to traffic concerns voiced over coffee by resident Elizabeth Davies. promised additional officers will be deployed in Surrey, he did note that recruitment and training is a lengthy process.

“Out of 15 applicants to the RCMP only one gets hired – that means for 100 officers, 1,500 applicants have to be interviewed.”

Bhayani said the Coffee With A Cop program comes out of a desire to find different ways to engage with the community and talk about issues that are important to local residents.

And it’s a break for everyone to be able to meet under relaxed circumstances, he said.

“Usually when we meet the public, it’s a stressful situation – a crisis situation,” he said. “Otherwise we drive by in a car and don’t get to

talk to the people.”

Similar programs are being employed in 48 states and some 3,000 communities across the U.S., he noted.

“We have nothing to lose and everything to gain by this,” he said.

There’s an accountability aspect to the program that he welcomes, he said – police need to be able to hear community concerns and discuss the rationale for policing policies.

At the same time, Bhayani said, police are getting a strong confirmation of the public’s desire to help.

“The reaction has been very positive – we’ve even recruited people into the block-watch program.”

Even a small amount of informa-

tion gained in such an exchange can be helpful, he said.

“We do get a lot of stuff locally.

You might have a neighbour who is reluctant to contact the police about something, because there is no clear evidence of a crime, but what he can tell us might be very useful.

“We had a block-watch captain in another neighbourhood tell us something a few days ago, which led us to go to an address where we seized a significant cash, drugs and some weapons. What he’d seen was something very innocuous – but he didn’t feel right about it.

“That’s what we’d like, for people who observe something to report it and let us make the decision on how to respond to it.”

The community’s help is vital in the drug war situation, he said, because the victims are not cooperating with the three police forces – including Delta Police and the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) – investigating the crimes.

“We are aware of who’s involved, we’ve made numerous arrests and seized numerous drugs, but there’s even more to be done – and this is when we turn to the public.

“One of our strategic priorities is community engagement and mobilization,” he said, adding that initiatives like Coffee With A Cop are important in developing a relationship with the public.

“It’s a better way to grow support and build trust,” he said

Personal, home security implored i from page 1 The suspect is described as a 20- to 30-year-old man, about five-foot-eight to six feet tall.

Police expect to release a more detailed description once the victim is able to provide a “more fulsome� statement.

Cpl. Scotty Schumann cautioned those in the area to “be aware of your personal and home security.�

Asked if the crime may be linked to an Aug. 1 incident in which two intruders entered a residence in the 13200-block of Marine Drive while an elderly woman was home, Schumann said no connections have been made to other incidents “at this point.� “There’s a lot of information that we do know but we’re not releasing it all because it could

affect the investigation,� he said.

Officers with Surrey RCMP’s Serious Crime Unit and the Lower Mainland District Forensic Identification Team are working on the latest file.

Anyone who saw anything suspicious – even if it seemed insignificant – is asked to call police at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

An animal-cruelty investigation is underway, and Drever said additional orders were issued for other animals on the property that were also found in distress.

If the owner does not comply, “we’ll have to go back,� she said.

The seized dogs were initially taken to the Vancouver SPCA for examination and triage, but will be distributed to shelters across the Lower Mainland for ongoing care and adoption.

Costs of treating the animals are expected to reach around $20,000.

Chief prevention and enforce-

ment officer Marcie Moriarty said donations to the effort will be greatly appreciated, as will any help the public can provide in finding permanent homes.

She noted that horses are particularly difficult to adopt out, given their specialized needs and the costs of equine care.

Expecting parents are often advised to make a will before or shortly after their child is born.

While all adults should have a will, it's especially important that parents have a will that clearly deÀnes who will inherit their assets after they die.

Expecting parents may not want to think about a will when their child has yet to be born, but a will is an important document that can be used to designate who will act as a child's guardian should his or her parents die before the child is legally recognized as an adult.

In addition, a will can also be used to designate a trustee of your estate who will manage any assets left behind to your children until they reach adulthood.

Laws regarding assets left behind by a person who died without a will vary depending on where a person lived, but many such laws are inĂ exible and the government may even charge the estate to manage assets until children reach adulthood and are therefore legally recognized as able to manage the assets on their own.

Parents who leave no will behind may also have no say in who raises their children, which can be difÀcult on the kids and troublesome for family members left to Àght for custody of the children.

Wills do not necessarily need to be written by a lawyer, but lawyers can help parents avoid certain pitfalls that could prove problematic and costly should someone challenge the will after your death.

Such pitfalls include not having enough witnesses to the will or not stating in the will that the document is, in fact, your will.

Frustration builds as suspicious behaviour reported

Crime latest farm pest Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

South Surrey farmers fed up with repeated incidents of crime on and around their properties are banding together in an effort to quell the concerning trend.

“We phone (police) all the time now, everybody’s on guard,” said one area resident, who asked to not be identified, citing safety concerns. “We all watch each others’ houses. We’re going to call in anything suspicious.”

The neighbourhood in question is farmland along 40 Avenue, between 160 and 168 Streets.

According to the resident, area homes have been broken into, stolen vehicles are being dumped and barns are being used for grow-ops and to stash stolen goods.

Sunday evening, she saw heavily armed police swarm a property in the 16400-block of 40 Avenue, and men who were ordered out of a barn on the property emerge with bags of items hanging around their necks and their hands up.

Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann told Peace Arch News the police response was sparked by an anonymous report of a gun, which was determined unfounded. However, stolen items were seized from the property, he confirmed.

“The property appears to be frequented by many people, and so it’s not certain who brought the stolen items to the property or how long they’d been there,” Schumann said Tuesday.

“At this point, there’s no one in custody, no charges being contemplated.”

That outcome, the resident said, has been seen time and again over the past year, and is a point of frustration for the neighbourhood.

“It just goes on and on and nothing is ever done.”

Other activity noted by neighbours has included suspiciouslooking individuals on bikes at all hours, appearing to be scouting out the properties; individuals “creeping” through, stopping under a stand of trees to change

clothes, then walking down the road where a vehicle stops to pick them up.

“That happens all the time,” the resident said, noting officers she has spoken to have said they “have way worse things” to deal with.

“It’s just appalling, and we’re speechless.”

Schumann confirmed police triage calls and prioritize their response based on the information received. At the same time, he acknowledged it can be difficult to get charges approved in property-crime cases.

Confirming officers are also frustrated by the challenges, Schumann encouraged anyone spotting suspicious activity or a crime in progress to report it immediately.

“If it’s suspicious, don’t sit on it.”

The resident said police will be hearing more from her and her neighbours, and wants others to know how prevalent the issue has become.

“People should know,” she said. “(The perpetrators) just mock our whole system.”

Worthy of celebration

T

he Semiahmoo Peninsula – like the neighbourhoods that surround it, from Cloverdale to Panorama Ridge – is, relatively speaking, a small place.

But year in, year out, the accomplishments of its residents are nevertheless impressive and plentiful, be it in the arts community, business world, athletics or elsewhere.

And this time of year – often referred to as a “dog days” of summer – is when many of the area’s top young athletes shine brightest.

It starts, most years, on the softball and baseball diamonds across Surrey and White Rock, and this year is no exception.

Last month, White Rock and Cloverdale minor baseball teams starting collecting trophies at various tournaments, and regional and provincial championships, and will continue until this coming weekend at least, as a team of White Rock and South Surrey 12-year-old ballplayers look to snag themselves a Canadian Little League championship in suburban Ottawa. For the past week, the team has rolled through the competition with ease – one loss notwithstanding. Should they capture the national crown, they’ll head straight to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa. No matter the outcome this weekend, the White Rock team’s summer will be considered a great success – only a handful of teams have made it as far as nationals through the years, and only two in the city’s history have made it as far as Williamsport.

On the softball diamond, the action has been just as exciting, and no less successful.

At the under-18 nationals in Montreal, three area teams – the Delta Heat, White Rock Renegades and Surrey Storm – swept the podium, in that order. In Calgary, the Renegades’ U16 team captured its firstever Canadian crown, and the Storm’s under-14 squad scooped a national title, too.

Of course, as anyone who has followed the local sports scene for any length of time can tell you, these accolades – and those of their ilk – are not exactly rare here, which makes them even more impressive.

These young athletes, and those that grace our fields, pools, courts and sheets of ice throughout the year, are immensely talented, and some may even go forward to even greater heights, be it university sports, world championships – even Olympic Games.

In the sports world, there exists a colloquialism, “outkicking your coverage” which is meant to describe someone who has, essentially, exceeded all expectations.

There is no shortage of that here.

I can relate.

In my own life, I’ve been to several funerals: my dad’s, when I was 14; my aunt’s, nine years ago; my daughter’s aunt, who was younger than me when she died; one for the mother of my best friend growing up; for my friend, Laurie, who I spent three hours with the first day we met (which started as a story interview then went hilariously astray); one for the aunt of a guy I was dating; and that of Peace Arch News publisher Linda Klitch – we shared the same birthday.

I don’t want to go to many more, though I know it is an inevitable reality that there is at least one service I won’t be able to avoid. I hope they play country music at that one, maybe a little Zac Brown Band, A Thousand Horses and The Band Perry (oddly, I’ve always liked their hit, If I Die Young, but don’t read anything into that).

But in bracing myself for the next one that will come by way of assignment, I’m trying to dwell on why I should be there.

Because, everyone deserves to have their story told.

Sure, the good stuff I hear will probably be a little embellished, and there’s good odds the bad won’t be mentioned at all.

And, really, that’s how it should be.

I’ve “met” a lot of amazing people at funerals. And I can say without hesitation that they made a difference, they mattered, even if sometimes to only to a few people. It’s enough.

Knowing that, it’s easier to accept that at some point down the road, the story being told will be mine.

Such is life.

Sacramental rehash Editor: Re: Pro-pot pastor shifts services to porch, Aug. 7.

The so-called “Pastor” Robin Douglas of the “Holy Smoke Church” is making the front page again.

He is doing the same thing as Walter Tucker did in Ontario around 1970-1980.

Tucker called his church “The Church of the Universe,” and he and his followers used marijuana as a sacrament and used the argument that he could do so because of freedom of religion.

Tucker clogged up the courts for years, costing the justice system tens of thousands of dollars.

It appears that Douglas is doing the same thing. The City of White Rock is incurring legal fees, the RCMP has to attend, as well as city bylaw officers.

Everyone knows it is not a church, but here we go again; the pot pastor gets all the attention for all the wrong reasons.

He states they have a right to exist and the right to religious freedom.

Well, yes, you have the right to exist and, yes, you are entitled to freedom of religion.

In Canada, cannabis is legal to possess, consume or grow for medical purposes under certain conditions within the Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations, not for a religious ceremony.

So, Mr. Douglas, you are encouraging people to break the law. Now, the local police may elect not to enforce the law, but it’s still the law of the country.

I hope that the landlord will be successful in having him evicted, as I don’t think the City of White Rock will have much success in shutting him down.

Barney Feenstra, Surrey

Voting together at our expense Editor: Re: City maintains motion valid, July 31.

On more than one occasion I have seen White Rock Couns. Megan Knight, Grant Meyer, Lynne Sinclair and Bill Lawrence around town socializing.

This poses the question “is this ethical?”, as these get-togethers constitute a quorum of council and they could likely be discussing council business.

Furthermore, on watching council on TV last month, the mayor prompted Meyer to ‘move the motion’ and this action appeared to be pre-arranged (City takes a closer look at tower plans, July 29).

Next time I see the quorum of council – a.k.a. the coalition – socializing in a public place, I will have my camera at the ready. The coalition are only fooling themselves.

Margaret Pierpoint-Allen, Surrey Q Only in White Rock you say?

At the July 27 council meeting,

it seems the cast and crew of the good ship “White Rock Coalition” messed up on the script they probably put together in one of their “in-camera” meetings.

Anyone who knows anything about live theatre knows that when a participant forgets their lines, they will get a cue – a prompt – so that they can carry on with the script.

Well, Coun. Grant Meyer forgot his line, and when the mayor give him his cue – by saying “Councillor Meyer, you had a motion?” – instead of following the script, he said he had already made the motion.

There was no motion made or seconded in this instance, but that didn’t stop the White Rock Coalition from voting on it.

As I said, it was in the script so does that make it legit?

(Editor’s note: The city clerk later told Peace Arch News that Meyer commenting he had made the motion constituted the tabling of it, and that Coun. Lynne Sinclair seconded.)

So what’s it all about? It’s all about selling out to the developers

and friends of these coalition councillors as fast as they can.

They are intent on densifying our little town to the tune of 4,000 new units, not replacement units. Only 400 can go into the town centre, so the remaining 3,600 will go into the residential areas: for instance, a 15-storey, 134-unit tower for the corner of North Bluff and Nichol Road.

So the question is, can we believe the mayor when he says council will listen to the public before they make a decision on the many development permit applications sitting in the planning department?

How can we, when they have made it very clear on their intent?

This play of our lives in White Rock is scripted, produced and directed by Mayor Wayne Baldwin, and Couns. Lynne Sinclair, Megan Knight, Bill Lawrence and Meyer are the bit players acting out the script.

But each and every one of them is responsible for how the play ends.

Margaret Woods, White Rock

Affordability must be factor Editor: Re: Development opponents say rejection will be short-lived, Aug. 5.

Mayor Linda Hepner should be ashamed of her comment that a good compromise will provide more options for people who want to live in properties that look like large estate homes but can’t afford to.

The people who live in this area paid for their own privacy. Up until now, council has been turning South Surrey into townhome central, but there should be certain boundaries that should change with the NCP. Tara Developments should sell the property back to those who fit into the demographic of the area, and leave their future neighbours alone.

By the way, I live in a townhome and would rather be respectful and live where I can afford to.

Larry and Ruby Povolo listen to speakers at a rally held in Newton last September looking for crime solutions.

Crime discussion on back burner Editor: It was interesting to read your article by Kevin Diakiw, in which he reported that high-profile member of Surrey’s environmental committee Bob Campbell had quit in protest of the way he’s been treated and the dysfunction of the committee itself (Environmentalist quits city committee, July 17).

He states he was openly mocked when he attempted to raise and discuss important issues.

Is that not the job of an advisory group?

The article notes that Campbell may be the most recent to resign, but there were others – Dr. Roy Strang, who departed in frustration about 10 years ago, and late Dr. Tom Godwin left the committee when he decided recommendations were falling on deaf ears of council.

I can identify with their frustration.

The city used to have a Community Consultant Group.

After the murder of mother of three children Julie Paskall at the Newton ice rink (Vigilance urged as police hunt killer, Jan. 7, 2014), we unanimously passed a motion that recommended the city organize a multi-level governmental meeting to discuss and find solutions to the crime issues in our city.

That was over a year-and-a-half ago.

The city has never organized such a meeting, and furthermore, has never re-instated that consultant group. They ignored our recommendation and then silenced us by not reconvening the group.

How does not having meaningful discussions with those who have the ability to make change help us find solutions to our crime problems? Simply stating that

this must stop does nothing to resolve the problems.

Last fall, after the tragic murder of 17-year-old Serena Vermeersch (Youth’s sudden death, Sept. 18, 2014), a number of concerned citizens organized a rally in Newton. Our call for action was that mayor and council organize the multi-level government meeting we had asked for eight months prior and start working on solutions to our crime problems.

All of our current council were in the audience that day, and we still do not have a multi-level government meeting organized to find solutions to our crime problems.

A couple of months ago, it was the murder of Arun Bains in Newton (An appeal to shooters’ family, friends, April 22); last month, it was a murder of father-of-two Colin Hill in Cloverdale (Father killed in Surrey home invasion, July 15); residents in Port Kells recently woke up to a targeted shooting in our neighbourhood, and on and on it continues.

The questions beg to be asked.

What other city in Canada had to requisition 100 police officers all at the same time? And does this indicate that the serious-crime situation in Surrey has been a long time in the making due to lack of police resources and an understaffed bylaw department? Do we need federal reforms to our justice system? Do we need the province to implement the recommendations of the attorney general’s blue ribbon panel report, Tough on Crime?

One thing for sure, we need a multi-level government meeting to find answers and solutions to these questions.

Operators of a South Surrey audio-video store have posted footage of a morning break-in to their business on YouTube in the hopes of identifying the culprits.

The incident occurred just after 7 a.m. Sunday (Aug. 9), at Ayreborn Audio-Video Inc., 9-3033 King George Blvd.

According to manager Akane Awazu-Ayres, the thieves made off with a TV and other items.

The surveillance-camera footage shows two males enter the store at 7:12 a.m., grab sundry items, leave and return for more.

“It would be great if we can get any leads on the thieves,” Awazu-

Ayres said by email.

Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann told Peace Arch News the culprits forced open the business’s front door to gain access, and were gone by the time police arrived. Investigators believe the thieves may have fled the area in a pickup truck.

Schumann said that surveillance footage reviewed so far has not enabled investigators to identify those behind the crime.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the detachment at 604-599-0502.

these issues in a variety of ways, but by the time they get involved, the problems are often very large and almost impossible to solve. The city has also spent millions in recent years in creating programs for kids and teens, building recreation centres and trying to offer innovative events which can offer positive experiences.

Crime will never go away,but there clearly is a need to do much more to get the violent-crime rates down. Having more police officers (the 100 additional ones asked for by the city are slowly starting to trickle in) will help. So will much more two-way communication with neighbourhoods, community groups, business organizations and other key community players.

The High Risk Location Initiative, which began almost two years ago and involves joint work by Surrey RCMP, the fire department and bylaw officials is also a positive way to address these problems from a more holistic perspective.

However, the community has to be deeply involved in a large number of ways in order for violent crime to be reduced substantially. There is a great deal of work that remains to be done.

Event marks end of Second World War in Asia

Ceremony offers last chance to remember Alex Browne

Staff Reporter

hen a Second World War-era Harvard and Tiger Moth from the Canadian Museum of Flight fly over the White Rock Cenotaph on Saturday. it will not only mark the end of the ceremony but also – most likely – the end of an era.

“We’re all getting too old to go on organizing this,” said Dirk Doornberg, 80, a member of the August 15 Foundation which, for decades, has commemorated the date of Japan’s formal surrender to Allied Forces at the end of the Second World War – and those civilians who suffered or perished in Japanese internment camps in Indonesia.

“We’ve said often that this might be the last time, but if we get enough people, we’ll be looking at ways this can go on,” said foundation president Willem Stronch, 73, who explained the Canadian commemoration has traditionally been held at the White Rock Cenotaph.

“It’s the only plaque in the whole of Canada that remembers people who died in the Pacific War,” Stronch said. “It’s understandable – most Canadians were involved with the war in Europe.”

The 11 a.m. ceremony will feature a flag lowering to half mast, a minute of silence to remember the victims, the bagpipes of Tony Warburton and presentations by the City of White Rock and Thekla Lit, president of B.C. Alpha, an association dedicated to learning from and preserving the history of the Second World War in Asia.

Prominent in the ceremony will be Gert Heijkoop, Netherlands Consul General, who will be among those laying wreaths at the cenotaph.

Most of the 150 people expected to gather at the cenotaph are of Dutch origins – either those who were held in the concentration camps in Indonesia during the war, or their relatives.

The civilians were imprisoned in the region’s numerous camps

It’s a grim irony, Stronch and Doornberg say, that they, like other survivors of the camps, owe their own lives to an appalling loss of life – the U.S. dropping of atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 on Aug. 6 and 9.

The awful destructive power those weapons unleashed on Japan persuaded Emperor

Hirohito to overrule militarists in the government and order a surrender rather than prolong an island-by-island struggle between Japanese and U.S. troops in the Pacific – one that U.S. logistical experts were predicting would drag on into the 1950s.

“Otherwise, the Japanese would never have surrendered – it was part of their religion, their oath to their emperor. They would have gone on fighting in the rocks and holes in the mountains,” Stronch said. “But (President) Truman

said, after Nagasaki, that if they didn’t surrender, Tokyo will be bombed.

“I guess it’s always the civilians that suffer in wartime. So the bombs were not a good solution – but a lot of lives were saved, especially young American lives.”

For 3½ years before the surrender, the Dutch community – many of them second- and third-generation colonists overseeing rubber and tobacco plantations in the region – had suffered numerous hardships

at the hands of the Japanese occupiers.

Brutal treatment was definitely a factor, but most consistent problems, Stronch and Doornberg say, were a lack of medication and a shortage of food that left many sick or dead from malnourishment.

Families were split up – fathers and uncles and boys over 11 were taken to forced-labour camps, while women and younger children had to live without most basic necessities.

It was only when the war ended that they discovered the fate of loved ones. Stronch said it was then, through the Red Cross, that his mother learned that his father had perished eight months earlier.

“She always told me she didn’t want to speak too much about the war, but she did say, if it wasn’t for my brother and me, she would not have survived,” he said, noting he only has vague memories of the incarceration.

“I was born the week before Pearl Harbour and my brother was six turning seven, so we were in the camp in Palembang with my mother all through the war,” he said. “We were too young to go i see page 12

travelling to cool northern seas in summer to feed on krill and small schooling fish. Females brought their calves into the Salish Sea and these young animals independently returned, once grown to adulthood.

Now, humpbacks are being regularly seen around Vancouver Island and the southern Gulf Islands, and are beginning to make their way into the Georgia Strait. Their impact on the local ecosystem should be positive, as they reclaim their place in the food chain.

Sperm whales, another krill-eater, fertilize the sea with their droppings, significantly increasing phytoplankton and consequently extracting carbon from the atmosphere.

Only time will tell what effect humpbacks will have on local waters.

Debbie Mozelle Designer Optical

debbiemozelle.ca

For 24 years, White Rock residents have gone to Debbie Mozelle Designer Optical for their eyecare needs – whether they’re searching a wide selection of stylish frames for the perfect look, or for progressive lens technology and contact lens. All that, paired with expertise and excellent customer service, and there’s no need to go anywhere else.

“We have a lot of repeat customers, and they refer their family and friends,” says Debbie, who has been in the optical industry since 1983.

“Why go anywhere else if you like what our local business has to offer?”

Debbie With locations in White Rock and Langley, the team at Debbie Mozelle Designer Optical will find the right eyewear to suit your style, personality and prescription.

Debbie Mozelle also now offers a new product called variable-focus eyewear, which is ideal for people who spend lots of time in front of a computer screen, or have health issues – such as low blood sugar – that can affect vision. With variable-focus products, the customer puts the eyewear on, closes one eye, and adjusts a dial until they can see properly. The lenses come in clear or yellow tints, or dark-tinted for sunglasses. Add a second pair for just $79.

For those searching for online deals, Debbie points out that her prices for eyewear and contact lenses are on par with what the Internet has to offer.

Debbie Mozelle Designer Optical’s in-store experience includes one-on-one service, personal frame adjustments and an opportunity to try frames before you buy, all guided by the expertise of licensed opticians, contact lens fitters and sight testing opticians. As well, Debbie Mozelle accepts direct billing for many insurance providers.

“If you look online, we have great customer reviews. That shows how our store is an important part of the White Rock community,” says Debbie. “We really appreciate our customers who have been supporting us for over two decades.”

Staff at the store will also arrange appointments with an optometrist located at South Point for seniors over the age of 65 and children under 19.

To find out more, visit www.debbiemozelle.ca, search “Debbie Mozelle Designer Optical” on Facebook, or follow @debbiemozelle on Twitter and Pinterest.

To thank her loyal customers, Debbie is offering a chance to win three, allinclusive trips to Mazatlan, Mexico. With orders placed before Sept. 26, every $100 spent will earn one opportunity to win the big prize. See in-store for details.

Check Point Plumbing

checkpointplumbing.com

With a commitment to customer satisfaction and nearly 100 years of combined industry experience, Check Point Plumbing is proud to offer top-notch, knowledgeable service you can count on.

Whether it’s a clogged sink, a leaky hotwater tank or a gas fireplace on the fritz, the team at Check Point Plumbing will get the job done quickly and accurately, according to co-owner Beth Henderson.

“We do the job right the first time and Beth, Dave, Rich and Kent ensure that the customer is satisfied,” Henderson said. “We’re very proud of the work we do.”

With summer in full-swing, and many people escaping the heat in a backyard pool, it’s a good time to make sure your pool boiler is in good working order – and Check Point Plumbing is happy to help, Henderson said.

“They have to be checked periodically to make sure they’re running efficiently and effectively, the same as in the house,” Henderson said, noting Check Point offers both installation and service. “You want to make sure that it’s ready for the summer season.”

For those looking ahead to the cooler fall and winter months, a newer, more efficient furnace may be on the to-do list.

In some respects, today’s high-efficiency furnaces, which generally start around $4,000, are better-engineered than the $30,000 car you drive off the lot.

With up to 95 per cent efficiency, more heat goes into your home than up the chimney with older models.

Redesigned heat exchangers – complete with recovery coils – better insulation with state-of-the-art controls and energy-efficient blower motors, some with four speeds and quiet as a whisper, all provide long-lasting comfort.

High- and low-fire gas valves combined with variable speed blowers provide the perfect amount of heat required – for warmer days, the gas valve fires on low mode and the blower cuts in on low speed; for cold days, both the gas valve and the blower operate on high to bring your home up to a set temperature, where it will stay comfortably.

Also important is a good digital thermostat to replace the old mechanical style you may still have.

The friendly folks at Check Point Plumbing would be more than happy to visit your home to check out your existing unit and make some recommendations.

With an emphasis on providing great customer service and competitive pricing, Check Point Plumbing is your best choice for all your plumbing, heating and gas-fitting needs

www.delriosrestaurant.ca

For close to 20 years, Delrios Restaurant in Ocean Park has been offering a friendly neighbourhood atmosphere where you can enjoy a tasty meal, amazing service and memorable dining experience night after night.

Hormoz Delrios is thrilled to be offering a mouth-watering menu, featuring an expansive selection of gluten-free dishes.

As well, Delrios is committed to using only the highestquality ingredients in all dishes. Not only do they use grass-fed beef in their popular hand-crafted burgers, but also in all their pastas and sauces.

Longtime customers will also be familiar with Delrios’ popular lineup of gourmet pizza, which are made with top-quality cheese, piled high with fresh toppings and baked to perfection.

On your next visit, be sure to try one of their signature flavours – like the Crescent Beach Special, the Picante or the Texan – or create your own from a selection of fresh, premium toppings.

Delrios also has a great lineup of daily specials, including pizza specials on Monday nights,Tuesday and Thursday grass fed burger and beer specials, Pasta Nights on Wednesdays, and BBQ ribs and fries on Sundays. They also offer the convenience of delivery of all your favourite menu items.

As longtime members of the White Rock/South Surrey community, owners Hormoz, Kim, Chef Kevin and Manager Steve wish to thank their loyal customers new and old for their years of support.

With increased competition in the area from big-name chain restaurants, it’s more important than ever for the community to support local family-owned businesses, and the owners and staff at Delrios truly appreciate the patronage from those in the Ocean Park neighbourhood and beyond.

Jewellery Dreams Come True!

LET US MAKE YOUR…

JoseandCo.ca My name is José Latchinian and I am the President of José Jewellery Inc. dba José & Co. Custom Jewellers. We specialize in designing and creating unique jewellery pieces, as well as repairing jewellery and handling insurance claims.

We take a very personal approach to every piece of jewellery ~ no job is too small.

Jewellery is sentimental - when you give or receive a piece of jewellery, it should last a lifetime and be something special enough to hand down from generation-togeneration.

Integrity and trustworthiness are words I like to live by ~ it is taken very seriously in my company.

I find it very rewarding to be able to put a sparkle and a smile on someone’s face before they leave my place.

As a Master Goldsmith for over 35 years, I can exceed my client’s expectations because I do my best to create jewellery to suit their lifestyle.

How do I do this? I give everyone a one-on-one complimentary consultation and study the shape of their hand, fingers and face. I also ask them what their profession and hobbies are, which helps me determine what style would best suit them. Once they are satisfied with the sketch that I draw on-the-spot, I will make a wax rendition of the piece to ensure they are totally satisfied before I cast it in the metal of their choice.

We are presently focused on expanding the Corporate Custom Design Division, and continuously growing the José Personal Custom Design branch of the business. I am proud to say we have already done corporate custom design work for companies such as Air Canada, Jimmy Pattison Auto Group, Sandcastle Bowl Bar & Grill, Avitan Corporation and we are presently working on creating jewellery pieces for Jazz Aviation.

DID YOU KNOW? • You can purchase and personalize pre-owned Rolex Watches at José & Co. • You can recycle your old gold and unworn jewellery laying in your jewellery box for Cash OR Jewellery Repairs OR a new piece of Jewellery. • José & Co. was asked to audition for “Profiles of Business Excellence.” Stay posted to learn more about this new TV Series scheduled to air in 2016.

BCB Honey Benefits of Raw Honey

by Dr. Iman Tabari Have you ever tasted real honey? Honey isn’t just a sweetener for your tea. Raw honey is actually the concentrated nectar of flowers that comes straight from the extractor. It is the only pure, unheated, unpasteurized, unprocessed form of honey.

Honey naturally contains antioxidants, enzymes, minerals, amino acids and a wide array of vitamins; the most important being Hydrogen Peroxide (H202). The glucose oxidase enzyme, which is present in raw honey, forms H202. It has Harrison Gordon both antioxidant and antibacterial properties and Delara Tabari that inhibit bacteria growth.

That being said, honey is used topically to heal wounds, burns, cataracts, skin ulcers, sores and scrapes. Before (and during) allergy season is in full bloom, take a few teaspoons of local, raw honey every day to prevent your allergy symptoms.

The local honey contains triggers, such as small amounts of the specific pollens an individual may be allergic to, for treating allergy symptoms. Despite raw honey being a significant source of sugar, it is a monosaccharide, composed of two simple sugars: glucose and fructose. It cannot be broken down further, therefore they are gradually absorbed into the bloodstream without irritating the digestive system.

Studies have shown that raw honey actually aids in insulation regulation due to its lower glycemic index. Look no further for a natural source of energy.

Honey rejuvenates the body, builds strong muscles, stimulates nerves, and sharpens the mind.

Athletes prefer honey due to its anabolic state. It releases steadily and is a good sustainable source of energy. It aids in muscle recuperation, glycogen return and work-out recovery.

A teaspoon of raw honey before bed fuels the liver, and speeds up the fatburning metabolism of the body. Honey contains a 1:1 ratio of fructose to glucose, making it the most optimal food to fuel the body during sleep.

It balances blood sugar levels, allowing the recovery hormones focus on burning fat.

Honey is considered to be a more effective and safer alternative to naturally treat coughs and sooth sore throats as opposed to over-the-counter medicines. The low water content and pH of 3-4, raw honey is stable and can last for centuries when stored correctly. Whether you spread it on your toast, drink it with your tea, or apply it to burns, raw honey is essential to store in both your pantry and medicine cabinet.

Drop by today and discover for yourself the benefits of our honey!

Cheryl’s Trading Post

Friday, August 14, 2015 Peace Arch News

cherylstradingpost.com

Owners Cheryl and Jim Gregory opened the Peninsula store nearly four years ago with a simple vision in mind – “To provide for their family while creating employment for Native artists.”

“I have always wanted to have a Native art store... It’s been a lifetime dream,” reflected the mother of two – her daughters, Amber and Cheyenne, also work alongside her, as well as her nieces and her husband. “I have appreciated and enjoyed Native Art all of my Cheryl & Jim Gregory life” reflects co-owner Jim Gregory.

“It’s a real family business -- definitely a positive, uplifting place to be.”

Since opening in October of 2011, sales at Cheryl’s Trading Post have been slowly and steadily gaining strength; A Facebook fan page, ‘I Love Cheryl’s Trading Post,’ has garnered a huge following of more than 12,300 people and counting.

“Everyone just loves the art!” said Cheryl, matter-of-factly. “I’ve heard people saying ‘it’s a healing or magical place. I’ve also had someone tell us ‘you’ve got the best store in the world.’”

In addition to selling authentic Native art from across the Americas, Cheryl’s Trading Post is a hub for local talent, which is plentiful on the Peninsula.

“We are proud to carry pieces from the Semiahmoo people,” said Cheryl. “Right now we have work from Leslie and Leonard Wells, and from Nahanee, and we’d like to have more.”

Cheryl noted she’s fortunate to have a wonderful staff. “I’m really proud of them and what they’ve accomplished already. They are pretty amazing and strong young women – all very important in helping the store run smoothly.”

The staff are family members and friends of the family. Also her mother is proud that Cheryl carries on the family tradition of hard work and entrepreneurship.

The key to the store’s success has been the support of the loyal customers, and their love of Native arts. “We really appreciate them and do our best to keep them happy by giving them the best prices and the best products. I hope they keep coming back, and bring their friends and families – they are the reason we are able to be here.”

Arthur Murray Dance Studio

arthurmurray.ca

Whether you have been dancing your whole life and want to add to your skills, or it has been something you have always wanted to do but did not take the time to do it, or you have an upcoming event you wish to feel confident about, Arthur Murray Dance Studio in White Rock has something for you.

The talented and experienced team, led by Franchisee Sheryle Gallivan, can help you spruce up your Waltz or try out the Salsa, all the while enjoying the company of others in a social Ar thur Murray staff environment.

“Our main focus is to create an atmosphere of fun and relaxation while attaining the skills you wish to achieve,” says Sheryle. “If you feel nervous about learning something new, just remember that dancing is just walking and moving to music. All we do is add the timing, the patterns and the styling.”

Since opening its doors in 2003, the studio has helped countless individuals – anywhere from students who want to make dance a hobby, are just looking to get fit, want to brush up for an upcoming event, to students who are looking to compete or perform. Although we can facilitate a wide range of requests, the majority of students generally want to be comfortable social dancers.

“It’s a great healthy activity, and its benefits are not only physical, but mental, emotional and social, as well,” says Sheryle. “We have people of all ages, from six years old to 93 years old, who come in.”

In fact, dancing may be better for you than you think. According to Sheryle, research has proven that ballroom dancing can help with the prevention of Alzheimer’s as it makes the brain work with the body to remember and execute the steps.

Dancing can help those recovering from injuries or anyone who wishes to improve balance, co-ordination or, of course, feel more confident on the dance floor. “Confidence is”, says Sheryle “after all, just knowledge, and we have a wealth of knowledge to share!”

And dancing is fun! “Almost everyone leaves here smiling. Learning to dance, of course, involves time and money, but the smiles are free and they are priceless!” Sheryle says.

For those getting ready to take that next step in their relationship and decide to wed, the studio team can help make that first dance –where you look into each other’s eyes as a married couple – as romantic, entertaining and comfortable as possible. Arthur Murray has a wide range of first dance programs, from the basics to an extravagant choreographed dance.

So that you do not have to make a decision sight unseen, and to experience what learning to dance would be like, the team offers a free, no obligation lesson. For the convenience of their clients scheduling, the lessons are arranged by appointment.

“We have personally experienced the amazing gifts that being a confident dancer has to offer, and we are passionate about sharing those gifts with others,” says Sheryle. “Why wait another moment? Start the journey now.”

Innovative Sleep Solutions

We Sell the Healthiest Beds in Canada!

innovativesleep.ca

Did you know that recognizing the importance of healthy sleep products is very limited in this market? It’s true! That’s why Innovative Sleep Solutions (in the old Heritage Beds location), is here to help offering the largest selection of the healthiest products available in Canada from factories you can trust .

With more than 25 years of experience each in the industry, owners David Temlett and Terry David Temlett and Terry Harder Harder bring with them a wealth of knowledge on many aspects of sleep health, and have been hearing directly from customers on a range of issues longer than most competitors have been in business.

One of the main concerns Dave and Terry have encountered over recent years is consumer’s health – people are becoming more aware of the products they purchase and the possible health risks they might pose. All of the mattresses sold at I.S.S. are made with CertiPUR or ISO9000 certified foams, meaning they do not emit the harmful chemicals or off gasses that are frequently found in other foam products.

Their locally made Nature’s Embrace mattresses made with 100% Certified Organic Latex have been through the strictest testing in the world and are certified annually by the USDA and the CSA for consistency and integrity.

They also offer a medical magnet therapy line of Health Rest mattresses made

by Restonic using BIOflex concentric circle magnets. These mattresses contain an exclusive Class I medical device which are concentric circle medical magnets underneath the top layer, and are the only beds in Canada with a built in medical device inside.

Clinical and medical studies have shown this type of magnet therapy is beneficial in treating a range of ailments, including neck and shoulder pain, arthritis, diabetes, chronic back pain, shin splints, poor circulation, migraine headaches, and more.

They also carry the full line of Bioflex magnet braces & wraps.

It’s all a part of Innovative Sleep Solutions’ goal of introducing revolutionary healthy products with unique features you won’t find at the big box stores.

When it comes to finding the right mattress, consumers deserve to know what they are getting and they have a range of options suited to their individual needs designed to provide an advanced solution to their sleep and health concerns. In addition, they won’t be under sold!

This professional and experienced team will help you find the perfect fit for a healthier lifestyle – after all, everyone sells mattresses, but they truly sell Innovative Sleep Solutions.

We won’t be Undersold!

South Point Dental Centre

SHOP LOCAL CONTEST

www.peacearchnews.com 31

When it comes to your family’s health, finding a trusted dentist for all your oral-care needs is an essential part of maintaining overall health and wellness in your home.

It’s important to see the same dentist regularly, which will allow you to establish a trusting relationship, and provide a sense of familiarity between the dentist and your oral-health needs and history.

But choosing a dentist isn’t as easy as choosing a restaurant to dine in; there is plenty to consider when seeking out the care of an oral-health professional.

Here are some important steps to take when Dr. Edmund Wong searching for a dentist for your family: Getting a referral If you and your family are moving to a new community, it’s helpful to ask your current dentist if he or she can provide a recommendation. Or, ask any friends or relatives you may have in your new community if they have any suggestions.

Checking out the logistics Logistics are an important part of the selection process, including accessibility, office hours, dental emergencies and languages spoken.

Not every dental office accepts new patients throughout the year, so a quick call can determine whether they’d be available to treat your family.

Paying a visit Visiting the dental office in person is an important next step, as it will help you to determine if it was easy to get to and how long the trip took from your home.

You can also assess how you feel about the office and waiting room’s level of cleanliness and organization, and the overall ambience that you receive from staff when you arrive.

Talking with the doctor Once you have found an office you’re comfortable with, it’s important to discuss with the dentist their approach to treatment, the services they provide and what preventative oral-health measures they advocate.

At South Point Dental Centre, the experienced team of dentists, hygienists and staff provide a wide range of dental services and welcome new patients of all ages to their South Surrey clinic.

Dr. Edmund Wong, Dr. Angie Lohachitranont and Dr. Norina Leung make a point of staying on top of the latest in oral-health technology and advancements. The clinic strives to ensure personalized, professional treatment and quality care in a caring, friendly environment.

To find out more about the services at South Point Dental Centre, or to book an appointment to meet one of the dentists, call 604-535-8880.

This August, every child check-up earns you credit for your next appointment!

Looking for an extra reason to bring your children in for an exam before they (and you) get busy with school in September?

Five Rings Dojo

Friday, August 14, 2015 Peace Arch News

seikidomartialarts.com

For more than 30 years, the South Surrey-based Seikido Martial Arts Federation of Canada has been home to thousands of practitioners of the martial art.

Seikido was founded by Paul Li in 1980 and brought to the Semiahmoo Peninsula by in 1985.

Now, Li’s son, Wayne, is the Head Instructor in the South Surrey-based dojo, helping students “develop self-confidence and core values through martial arts training that translate far beyond the dojo floors.”

Kai Streeter and Wayne Li The martial-arts system blends the dynamic striking techniques of Shaolin Kenpo with Aikijutsu – a discipline that includes throws and joint articulation. The study of traditional weapons is also an essential part of the Seikido system.

Unlike some martial arts, however, Li is quick to point out that Seikido – which translates to “ The Righteous Way “ – is not meant to be a competitive sport, but instead, simply a training method to “ prepare students for real-life situations “ while improving both physical and mental well-being and strength.

To further that point, Wayne points to a quote from his father, who once said that “If you want a black belt quickly, you can buy one in a store. Your martial skills should always precede your ranks.”

At the South Surrey location – the only one of its kind of the Semiahmoo Peninsula – students can take part in a variety of programs – from junior (5 to 12-years-old), teen (13 to 17-years-old) and adult (18+) classes, to those tailored for adults (45+).

In addition to kickboxing, weapons programs – Bojutsu (Staff technique) and Kenjutsu (Sword technique) – are also offered.

The Seikido Martial Arts Federation, based out of the Five Rings dojo, is located at 15515 24 Ave. in South Surrey, and is now accepting new students. Feel free to call, at 604-531-0595 or make contact by email, at seikidomartialarts@ yahoo.ca. For more on Seikido or the studio, visit www.seikidomartialarts.com

Artists persist in thinking ‘outside the box’ both in creativity and in use of materials – and that’s what internationally celebrated fibre artist and experimentalist Pauline McLean Dutkowski had in mind when she founded White Rock’s Outside The Box Festival in 2011.

The month-long, genrechallenging celebration of art in fibre returns to the city for a fifth year Aug. 29-Sept. 30, and as in previous years, White Rock Library is a key location for the Contributed photos launch, displays and ongoing Outside The Box Festival co-ordinator Alicia Ballard’s mixed-media programs. pieces Stratospheres and Not Quiet demonstrate the unconventional The festival has a new ways in which fibres and woven fabrics can be incorporated in co-ordinator, White Rock artist art works.

This will lead into the Outside the Box preview opening from 2 p.m. in the library including a short performance by the Fusionistas, and remarks by Ballard and dignitaries including

There will be plenty of other chances for the public to catch ‘fibre fever’ during the festival, Ballard promises, highlighting the creativity of many individuals and established community groups.

Other festival venues include Tourism White Rock and White Rock Museum and Archives.

“I’m really looking forward to the festival and I’m delighted by all the co-operation we’ve received, including from the city,” Ballard said.

“We owe the success of Outside the Box to Pauline, to the library, and to all the other artists and venues that have participated for five years.

“I’m looking forward to making it bigger and better each year.”

Blue Frog Studios has sold out both of the originally scheduled shows with blues guitar master Kal David and dynamic vocalist Lauri Bono on Friday, Aug. 21 and Saturday, Aug. 22.

But the good news is that tickets are still available for a second Saturday show at 9 p.m.

The act was the ‘sleeper hit’ of last year at Blue Frog (1328 Johnston Rd.) with word-ofmouth after a first performance rapidly selling out a second.

Guitarist Kal David has already sold out two shows scheduled this month at Blue Frog Studios, but tickets are still available for a third.

Widely regarded as ‘the real thing,’ guitarist-singer David has played with a who’s who of greats over the years (including John Mayall, The Fabulous Rhinestones, Johnny Rivers and Peter Cetera, to drop a few names) and Bono, his singing,

writing and production partner (whose past credits include Bette Midler’s Harlettes) has a distinctively sassy, soulful sound that commands equal attention.

Kenny Wayne to perform Aug. 28 at Blue Frog Studios

‘Blues Boss’ to hit stage Alex Browne Arts Reporter

They call him the ‘Blues Boss’ for a reason.

When Kenny Wayne sits at the piano and pounds out his bassheavy boogie and solid vocals on his own songs, listeners can be forgiven for thinking they’ve time-travelled to a New Orleans club back in the days when R&B, jump jazz and rock ’n’ roll co-existed comfortably on the music scene.

Blue Frog Studios and White Rock Blues Society offer Semiahmoo Peninsula music fans just such a time trip when they present the veteran blues performer, Friday, Aug. 28 (doors at 6 p.m., music at 7 p.m.).

Sure to add to the impression is Wayne’s wardrobe – a collection of sharp, brightly coloured, i see page 38

Blues musician has performed throughout the United States Doggett held sway in the ‘strolls’ of major U.S. cities.

The story of his early

years is something out of an old movie.

The son of a preacher – Rev. Matthew Spruell – Wayne was already a piano prodigy by the time he was eight and the family moved to California.

His father wanted him to play gospel music, but the young Wayne was more taken with the music he was introduced to, secretly by an uncle – the driving beat of boogie woogie.

By the time he reached his teens, in the early ’60s, he was already picking up dozens of gigs in the Los Angeles area, including an appearance with Chicago blues legend Jimmy Reed at the Alpha Bowling Club in 1962.

That gig was almost the end of his career – his mother and father were there when a savage brawl broke out, and Rev. Spruell acted quickly to shepherd his family through the kitchens and out the back way.

But Wayne could not be discouraged for long.

By the late 1960s he was becoming a mainstay of the L.A. R&B scene, working with the likes of Delaney and Bonnie, Billy Preston, Sly Stone and The Doobie Brothers.

Moving to San Francisco, he founded the R&B revue The Mighty Ken Explosion.

Ultimately, he brought the group north to Canada where it became a favourite from Manitoba to the B.C. club circuit.

Wayne could not ignore the crowd response whenever he launched into a bluesbased boogie, however.

It became the basis of his ‘Blues Boss’ nickname and persona when appreciative audiences, during a 1994 European tour, made him a celebrity virtually overnight – and led to his boogieoriented solo debut album, Alive and Loose, in 1995.

Blues Boss Boogie followed in 1997, and other subsequent albums have included Alive & Loose (2006), Can’t Stop Now (2008), An Old Rock On A Roll (2011) and Rollin’ With The Blues Boss (2014).

White Rock sits with 4-1 record at Canadian Little League Championships

All-Stars win big at baseball nationals Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

It’s been quite a week for the White Rock All-Stars at Canadian Little League Championships.

Through the first five roundrobin games at the Barrhaven, Ont.-hosted tournament, the team of Peninsula 12-year-olds

currently sits in a tie for second place with a record of four wins and one loss.

On Tuesday, the B.C. representatives – who won a provincial championship last month – scored the biggest, mostlopsided win of the tournament, defeating the Moose Jaw AAA

All-Stars 31-0, a win capped with a 19-run third inning before the game ended one inning later on account of the mercy rule.

White Rock wasted little time jumping in front of their Prairie rivals, scoring eight runs in the first inning. They added four more in the top half of the second

frame, before exploding for 19 in the third – an inning in which most White Rock batters came to the plate three times apiece.

In total, White Rock had 26 hits, led by Kieran Ritchie and Kole Turner, each of whom had four hits, while combining for nine runs-batted-in.

Of the team’s 26 hits, six of them carried over the outfield fence, as Trent Lenihan, Matthew Wilkinson, Marcus Bradley, Turner and Ritchie – who had two – all hit home runs in the win.

hildren’s curiosity helped Tessa Popoff find her way.

Popoff was accustomed to kids staring at her when she was out in public.

Some would approach with questions, while others were told to steer clear of her by their parents.

But one incident really stood out in the Langley woman’s mind.

Popoff was in a clothing store when a little girl sat down beside her and began peppering her with questions.

She was shocked when the girl’s mother dragged her out of the store.

“The little girl was crying, ‘I don’t know what I did,’” Popoff recalled.

“The mom was telling her how rude she was and how horrible it was that she would talk to people in public like that. It was kind of sad to see.”

And for the White Rock-born Popoff, a member of Canada’s sitting women’s volleyball team who now resides in Langley, it was her desire to change people’s perceptions which helped her find her way.

On her way to Sun Peaks resort for a weekend of snowboarding, the car carrying Popoff and four of her friends lost control after taking a corner too quickly and ended up rolling.

“I was in the middle backseat when we flipped,” she said.

“I braced myself on the headrest and the car caved in and severed my hand instantly.”

One person in the car suffered a fractured

collarbone while the others had scarring and scratches.

None of the others’ injuries were as serious as what Popoff endured. She spent a week in hospital and had her right arm amputated below the elbow.

Twelve years have passed, yet Popoff has never gone through a ‘why me?’ phase.

“It was one of those ‘here’s life, deal with it and move on (situations),’” she explained.

“You either learn to adapt or you dwell on it.”

Before the crash, Popoff had always been active, playing sports recreationally throughout high school. She was also big on outdoor sports, such as white water kayaking, rock climbing and hiking.

Rather than let her situation overwhelm her life, Popoff set out to regain her independence.

“I still continued to do everything I could, so I learned how to tie my own shoes with one hand, get dressed, do everything I i see page 40

After watching the team practice, Popoff was intrigued. This past spring, she attended the national team’s selection camp, making the final nine-person roster.

She is currently representing Canada at the Parapan American Games which began last week in Toronto and run until the weekend.

The gold-medal volleyball matches – both men’s and women’s – are slated for tonight (Friday).

The tournament also serves as a qualifier for next summer’s Paralympic Games in Rio de Janiero.

Popoff, who played volleyball in high school, admits sitting volleyball is challenging. For starters, it is the only time she wears a prosthetic arm.

“It is something new to learn and overcome,” she said.

“But it is a great way to showcase the sport and inspire other people. I get to be a role model for my daughter (five-year-old Ella) and all those other kids.

“When I got into my accident, I never thought I would be married with kids, running my own business and trying to qualify for the Paralympics. It is exciting.”

Semifinals scheduled for Saturday i from page 39 Rock, combining to strike out nine Moose Jaw batters in four innings.

On Wednesday, White Rock won its fourth game of the tournament, but by a decidedly closer score â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â 5-1 over the Lethbridge Red Giants.

Despite the game being lower scoring than the previous dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, White Rock still relied heavily on the long ball, with four of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five runs coming as a result of home runs.

In the second inning, Lenihan broke the scoreless draw with a two-run blast â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which White Rock head coach Bob Cumiskey called â&#x20AC;&#x153;a real clutch home runâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â and Darius Opdam Bak repeated the feat with a two-run shot of his own in the fifth inning to extend the lead.

Making the win even more impressive, Cumiskey said via email Wednesday, was the fact that the Albertans had their top pitcher, Ty Weavers, on the mound. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going well thus far,â&#x20AC;?

Cumiskey said of his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Earlier in the tournament, White Rock defeated Montrealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Notre Dame de Grace Lynx and Nova Scotia champion Glace Bay Colonels, with the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only loss coming against the hosts from East Nepean, Ont. The excitement has extended off the ball diamond, too. On Thursday evening, the team took part in the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Champions Dinner banquet, with was highlighted by keynote speaker Roberto Alomar, former Toronto Blue Jays star and

member of the baseball hall of fame. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty neat for the kids,â&#x20AC;? said Cumiskey of the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guest of honour.

White Rock wrapped up its round-robin schedule Thursday afternoon with a game against Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s High Park Braves, who sit in first place with an undefeated 5-0 record. The game ended after Peace Arch Newsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; deadline.

And though a win over the Braves could slide White Rock into top overall spot after roundrobin play, the B.C. team is assured of a spot in semifinals Saturday.

Should they advance past semifinals, the championship game is set for Sunday afternoon.

The winner of the Canadian championships will immediately head south to Williamsport, Pa., where, as Canadian champs, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll trade in their usual jerseys for ones bearing the red-andwhite maple leaf.

White Rock has twice played in Williamsport, in both 2007 and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;08.

White Rock Tritons won once in three playoff games

Whalley Chiefs win B.C. junior baseball title Nick Greenizan

afternoon, 5-3 over the Abbotsford Cardinals.

In the championship final on Sunday, Whalley took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning, when Stephen Horner singled and later scored on a North Shore error. The lead was extended to 4-0 one inning later when Ethan Gray – who reached base after being hit by a pitch – Jared Allemann and Horner all scored after one single, a walk, an error and a wild pitch.

The Twins scored a run in the bottom half of the inning to bring the deficit to just three runs, and scored twice more in the fourth, while Whalley scored once themselves, when Jordan Yamaguchi was hit by a pitch and later scored.

The Whalley Junior Chiefs may have finished fourth in the BC Junior Premier Baseball League regular season, but they won big when it counted – capturing a league title Sunday after a perfect playoff weekend in North Vancouver.

The Chiefs, who had a 21-15 win-loss record during the regular season, defeated the tournament host North Shore Junior Twins 8-6 in the championship game.

The White Rock Tritons – who were the seventh seed in the eight-team tournament – did not advance past the playoff ’s roundrobin portion of the schedule, winning just once in three games.

The team’s lone victory came Saturday

The scored remained 5-3 until the seventh inning, when the two teams scored three runs apiece.

Chiefs’ pitcher Nolan Weger was credited with the win, pitching four innings while scattering five hits. He also led the way offensively, with a triple and three runs batted in.

After Weger’s four innings on the mound, he was relieved by Justin Olic, who struck out one batter over the final three innings.

The Langley Junior Blaze – who’d lost just nine games in the regular season – were the favourites heading into the playoff weekend, but they were up-ended in the semifinals, losing 9-8 to the Twins, leaving the door open for an underdog to snag the title.

Like the Tritons, the North Delta Blue Jays – who finished sixth in the regular season – also did not advance through the round-robin contests, winning just once.

In White Rock’s victory over Abbotsford, the Peninsula squad overcame an early 3-0 deficit to edge their Fraser Valley rivals.

After Abby scored three runs in the first inning, the Tritons responded with three runs of their own in the fourth, highlighted by a Travis Klein double that scored Jeremy Kelleway, who had also hit a double earlier in the inning.

The Tritons scored single runs in each of the last two innings to secure the victory.

Pitcher Tanner Carmont went the distance on the hill for White Rock, striking out four batters over seven innings.

REFEEN, John 18th August, 1940 – 30th July, 2015 The family of John Refeen are sad to announce that John passed away recently of lung cancer. He will be missed by his daughter Natalie, son Adrian (and Pam), grandchildren Siobhan, Paige and Danika. John had an active life participating in motorsports, motor-biking, skiing, amateur theatre in Langley and an active involvement with the psychic society for several years. For the last 10 years he was the crossing guard at White Rock Elementary School.

John was born in London, England and came to Canada in 1964 and settled in BC in 1975 and White Rock 8 years later. He enjoyed White Rock and contributed to his community with his time. An informal Celebration of Life will be held on 18th August, 2015 at the White Rock Community Centre at 7:00 pm.

Married December 13, 1958 in Victoria to Donald Richard Currie. Marje graduated nursing from St. Paul’s Hospital in 1958 as a Registered Nurse (RN) specializing as a surgical nurse and toward the end of her career Marje became the Director of Patient Resources at Peace Arch District Hospital in White Rock. Marje’s interests included music, art, the ocean and boating and was the Vice Commodore IYC (International Yacht Club) in White Rock, BC. Don and Marje canal boated in the UK and France they sailed in Greece, Croatia and New Zealand and for the last 50 years on the British Columbia coast and the last 30 years on the S.V. Forsa Marge is survived by her husband Donald and son’s David and Peter and wife Kristal, her grandchildren Jessica Helin and Sarah and Sheryl Currie, nephews Steven and Gordon Jones, Dean and Drew Currie and nieces Brenda Ray and Amanda Currie, and brother-in-law Joe Currie and wife Gale Currie.

Marje was predeceased by her brother Charles Jones and sister in-law Rose Jones .
