Tap water touted district-wide for staff, students

School trustee floats bottled-water ban Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Laurie Larsen trustee

A Surrey school trustee wants to stop the flow of bottled water into schools. “Since I became a trustee, I’ve been trying to encourage the use of regular tap water,” Laurie Larsen said this week. Larsen said she’s been drinking the municipal water in Surrey for more than 50 years and it’s more than fine. She said she’s frustrated that alongside the juice and milk in school vending

machines, bottled water is routinely an option for students. “There really, to me, is no need for that,” Larsen said. And it’s not just in schools. Bottled water is often provided at board meetings, conferences and other districthosted events – something Larsen believes is entirely unnecessary in a city and province with good, safe water. She was scheduled last night, after Peace Arch News deadline, to present a

motion at a Surrey Board of Education meeting to ask that the district’s water fountains are kept in working order, that bottled water not be provided at district meetings and events, and that the district produce educational materials promoting the use and benefits of tap water over single-use plastic water bottles. “By advocating or selling bottled water, we’re sending the signal that maybe our water isn’t safe,” Larsen says. “We’ve all bought into this myth that bottled water

is so great. A lot of the bottled water is from municipal systems.” Her motion notes B.C. tap water is tested 25,000 times per year, that bottled water costs 2,000 times more than tap water, that large amounts of fossil fuels are burned to ship bottled water and millions of plastic bottles end up in the waste system annually. Larsen hoped trustees would support phasing out existing contracts the district has with bottled-water suppliers.

Five youths find $600

Fast cash quickly returned Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

When five local youth found $600 cash on the floor of an Ocean Park restaurant last weekend, they didn’t think twice about what to do with it. They picked up the six $100 bills and had them turned into the police, with the hope the money could be given back to its rightful owner. “We don’t know if they’re a millionaire and they dropped $600 by fluke, or they were poor and that was their money for the week,” 12-year-old Noah Tregobou said Thursday. “We weren’t sure Hannah Sutherland photo whose it was.” Josh Barrett and Noah Noah and Tregobou found $600. friends Josh, Alex, Nicole and Melanie were eating pizza in a restaurant when they spotted the cash on the floor, by the register. � see page 4

...and frankly

short end of the stick. The exact same thing would happen if there was one regional police force, because its primary focus would be on the City of Vancouver. There is some logic to having fewer police detachments and more regional task forces. The Integrated Homicide Investigative Team (IHIT) has worked very well, with virtually all Lower Mainland police forces except Vancouver taking part. If there is a move towards integrating day-to-day policing, the logical choice would be to combine Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and possibly the North Shore and Richmond forces. While this would mean a mixture of city forces with the RCMP, something could likely be worked out. If Surrey is ever to be part of a regional force, it should only be one made up of South Fraser municipalities. Given the close level of co-operation between the Surrey, White Rock and Langley RCMP detachments and Delta Police, it seems that a formal combination isn’t all that necessary. Local politicians have to stand up for residents of this area, and make it clear that South Fraser communities would not be part of a regional police force. At the same time, local police detachments need to serve as backup to Vancouver and other police forces when necessary – as they did so admirably on the night of the riots.

Statement of defence by ball club cites costly litigation

Law courts ‘no place for baseball dispute’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Defendants of a civil claim alleging the White Rock South Surrey Baseball Association wrongly sanctioned two volunteers say the matter is not one that belongs in court. “It is inappropriate for the court to interfere with the proper administrative decisions of a private association which are conducted in accordance with its own rules,” states a response filed in B.C. Supreme Court. “As a matter of public policy, expensive litigation concerning the administration of childrens’ sporting activities should be discour-

aged to better keep such activities inexpensive and equally and widely available to the children of all citizens of all income levels.” The association is being sued by Peninsula residents John Hogg and Graham Edwards, who were notified earlier this year of a decision to ban them from volunteering with the group for two years. Issued in January, the discipline relates to alleged breaches of little league rules, as well the association’s own codes of conduct and all-star coach selection policy, the response states. “The penalties imposed by the executive were imposed for numerous rule breaches,

most of which relate to choosing or recommending a coach… whose qualifications failed to meet the requirements and spirit of the WRSSBA all-star coach selection policy…,” the response, filed June 15, states. The response notes the penalties are also connected to the conduct of the all-star coaches at a tournament last summer. In a claim filed in April, Hogg and Edwards argue the sanctions were levied by the association’s executive based on statements they “knew or ought to have known were untrue.” They accuse the association of failing to adhere to its own rules.

“The plaintiffs seek a declaration that there has been an omission, defect, error or irregularity in the conduct of the affairs of the defendant,” the claim states. Hogg and Edwards are seeking special, general, aggravated and punitive damages, all of which the association is opposing. According to the response, little league rule infractions are “trivial matters” that don’t belong in court. The association investigated the alleged breaches, abided by its bylaws in administering sanctions and provided both men opportunities to present their sides and appeal the penalty, the document states.

Big bang no cause for alarm

Father’s Day tradition

Barbecue rebounds

Members of the Semiahmoo Fish and Game Club weren’t singing any blues over their annual Father’s Day salmon barbecue this year. While the major fundraising event for the club took a hit with low attendance last year, it bounced back to respectable numbers Sunday, even under cloudy skies. The event usually draws between 600 and 800 people, Art Wahl, a director of the club, said. “We were down some in numbers – but we put that down to the colder weather,” he said. “We figure we probably got over 600 at the event – and we sold over 400 salmon dinners. People were enjoying themselves. It was a little bit down from what we thought we might do, but then, earlier in the week, they’d been forecasting sun for Sunday.” Wahl said the club will have to wait for all the bills to come in to the treasurer before any estimate can be made of how well they did in raising funds. “But we made money – it was a great deal,” he said, adding that the petting zoo, and the release of 26,000 fry into the Little Campbell River proved as popular as ever with younger visitors. “All in all, it was great day.” – Alex Browne

The Semiahmoo Fish and Game Club’s annual Father’s Day barbecue was an affair to remember Sunday, as more than 600 people gathered to eat salmon served up by club members, cuddle with petting zoo critters and release fry into the Little Campbell River.

A “horrendous” bang that reverberated from White Rock’s West Beach Wednesday night was not an explosion, the city’s fire chief said. Fire crews were dispatched to Metro Vancouver’s pump station at the foot of Oxford Street around 8 p.m. June 22, after a circuit breaker triggered, Chief Phil Lemire said. “It essentially sounds like a gunshot,” Lemire said Thursday. “All it’s doing is disconnecting the power.” Lemire did not know what caused the breaker to blow. It is in place to disconnect power to the transformer that services the pump station in the event of a problem. BC Hydro crews attended. A spokesperson for the power company did not respond to requests for information by Peace Arch News deadline Thursday afternoon. One area resident said the noise had some wondering if the building could blow up. It drew dozens of people out of their homes to find out what had happened, said Tim Shields, who heard the noise while walking on North Bluff Road. Fire crews set up large fans to air out the pump house, Shields said. Lemire confirmed a similar incident two weeks ago, but said residents have nothing to worry about. “The safeties work… so it doesn’t overload and cause an issue,” Lemire said. - Tracy Holmes

Murder charge dismissed in death of Surrey father

Teen found guilty of manslaughter in stabbing Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A 16-year-old has been found guilty of manslaughter in the killing of a Surrey man nearly two years ago. The teen, who under the Youth Criminal Justice Act cannot be identified publicly, was initially charged with two counts of robbery and second-degree murder in the killing of Surrey’s Sam McGowan, who was stabbed to death a block from his Guildford home near 149 Street and 90 Avenue. He had earlier pleaded guilty to the two robbery charges, and on Wednesday, a New

Westminster Supreme Court jury delivered a not guilty verdict on the second-degree murder charge, but found him guilty of manslaughter. On Aug. 5, 2009, the teen and a friend committed two robberies, stealing cellphones from two other teens, one of them the son of McGowan. A group of men gave chase, and 42-year-old McGowan found the teen under a porch. Defence alleged the boy feared for his life. The teen, who was 14 at the time of the incident, plunged a knife into McGowan’s chest, penetrating his sternum and killing him. According to defence lawyer David Tarnow, like the rest of the adults, McGowan had been

yelling, “You’re f------ing dead.” The teen, Tarnow said, had no choice but to defend himself. “Ultimately, he did what he did in order to survive,” he told the jury. “The streets of Surrey can be very tough.” Michelle Proulx, McGowan’s girlfriend, said at the outset of the trial that his death is only getting more difficult as time passes. “Everybody tells you it gets better with time,” Proulx said. “It’s not true – you adjust.” “It’s been a long wait. I can’t eat, I can’t sleep,” she said, adding even when she does manage to get rest, she has nightmares. A sentencing trial is scheduled for Oct. 7-8.

Money returned to grateful worker

� from page 1 The group of 12- and 13-yearolds didn’t have to look far to find someone they could hand it in to – with Ocean Park Day festivities in full swing, the RCMP had a tent set up in the outside parking lot. Josh’s dad, Steve Barrett, was at his Ocean Park business when the friends explained to him what they had done. “They were so matter-of-fact that it had to be returned to whoever it belonged to,” Barrett said. “The idea of doing anything else with it never occurred to them.” Barrett passed on his contact information to the officer, who said she’d call if the money’s

owner was found. “As it turned out, the information the police officer was able to give us was that this was a construction worker who… did a little extra work on a Saturday and got paid some money in cash,” Barrett said, noting the man had used his debit card at the restaurant, allowing police to determine his name. “So it was really nice to be able to tell (the kids) that it was really meaningful to the guy. It was really important to them. “They felt like they really accomplished something.” The man gave police $20 to pass onto the youth as a symbol of gratitude, Barrett said.

The ADDED Touch SINCE 1984

“Ourselves and another parent are going to multiply the money a bit and take them out for a pizza dinner or something,” he said, adding it is refreshing to hear of such good deeds amidst news of last week’s Vancouver riot. “Everybody’s really disappointed, of course, with what happened with the hockey game, and it’s nice to have a positive story, with young people especially.” Noah said there is a lesson that came out of the friends’ choice to return the money – one that others can learn from. “Think before you make a choice,” he said. “Look at all the different sides.”

Be sure to stay protected from sun’s rays

t’s not hard to notice who’s been taking full advantage of the first tantalizing tastes of summer weather. They’re the people with the bright red glow on their arms, their legs, their nose, the back of their neck, the top of their head. Living in a northern climate where winter rain, snow and grey can dog us for half the year, we’ve developed a fine appreciation for warm sunny days. When it comes to the weather, it’s often feast or famine; after the famine of a dismal winter, we feast on the first rays of warm sunshine. But as with all good things, like ice cream, for example, you can have too much. Gorging on soft serve might give you an upset stomach, overindulging on sunshine can kill you. In 2009, more than 75,000 Canadians were diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancer, and another 5,000 were diagnosed with melanoma. Skin cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in Canadians. Our culture has come to value a healthy glow; it suggests a healthy lifestyle, especially among younger Canadians. But for those born in the 1990s, there’s a one-in-six lifetime risk they’ll get skin cancer, while those born in the 1960s have only a one in 20 lifetime risk. Awareness campaigns are having some effect. A number of local high schools are promoting tan-free proms to discourage grads from hitting the beach or tanning salon prior to their big night. When the sun comes out and the temperature rises after weeks of dreary rain and cold, it’s often easy to forget just how strong those rays can be. Working too long in the garden, taking a hike, riding the bike or spending a lazy afternoon on the patio or at White Rock or Crescent beaches without protection from the sun can have consequences years down the road. So when the weatherman calls for glorious sunshine, remember to wear a hat, cover those arms with sleeves or slather on some sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher. A little prevention can mean a longer life.

her words of encouragement, every eye with that white hair, that broad smile and that gaze that so recalled Terry’s. She talked a great deal about what Terry did, what Terry wanted, considerably less about what he meant to Canada. In fact, she admitted just last year that it wasn’t until a few years ago she “finally, truly understood what Terry meant to people,” a realization that came after watching impoverished children in Bangladesh running in his name. And if she never before truly understood Terry’s meaning to our nation, it’s unlikely she gave a moment to consider her own place in Canada’s pantheon of heroes and heroines. Just like a mom, she preferred the spotlight from the outside looking in, stepping into it only when there was no other choice. Even when she earned the honour of carrying the Olympic flag into BC Place stadium at the Vancouver 2010 opening ceremonies, she deflected attention, saying, “Terry was utmost in my mind. I was very proud to be a part of the Olympic ceremony but it was all for Terry. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have been there.” She’s right. Of course, she’s right. Terry lit the fire and she maintained it for three decades. It was a tough job but somebody had to do it.

Enough time to arrest killer Editor: Re: Pedestrian killed, driver flees scene, May 20. Quote from an officer at the scene: “We’ve put significant resources into this – we’re confident, we’re very confident, we will secure an arrest in regard to this investigation.” The RCMP notes in a news release that the driver of the suspect vehicle is encouraged to come forward to “take responsibility for this tragic loss of life.” It’s been five weeks since a 1993 Nissan Maxima mowed down Marilyn Laursen on a playoff Wednesday night, May 18. Remember, Thrift and Johnson? I recall a great feeling of sadness the morning after as I walked toward that intersection. The suspect vehicle was found. Who owns it? Was it fingerprinted? Are there suspects? Was the owner questioned? Was the car stolen? I recall an RCMP officer stating to the effect that an arrest will be made sooner than later. How about some answers? Is there a “person of interest” in mind? If there is, and they are not now arrested, then surely they would be in Siberia or somewhere by now. It seems these tragic incidents all too often get swept away somehow. I understand that making information public can jeopardize an investigation, but come on. Is something being hidden here? Let’s have some answers. How about using old-fashioned arrestand-interrogation techniques? We owe it to Marilyn, her family and friends, and the community of White Rock to expedite an arrest. Laurie Pike, White Rock

Reason sought after the riot Editor: Some thoughts on why they rioted. It cannot be overlooked that the vast majority of the rioters are young – many teenaged – males. The same demographic that has been responsible for most violent crimes ever since record keeping began. They have the highest levels of testosterone they ever will have. One hundred years ago, these young men would be out in the work force or raising families. If they did riot, it would be for higher wages or better working conditions. However, in our modern society, we have created the “teenager” – a term that has only been around since the 1930s. Our high-school system and laws put them in a limbo state between childhood and adulthood. They live at home with their parents in suburbs that offer little or no productive/creative outlets. They want to feel like they have control over their lives, but they don’t. As a result, they become frustrated and angry man-children. I live in Vancouver now but grew up in Surrey. I was raised an

atheist, in much the same capitalist, commercialized, media-bombarded world as these rioters – and those who rioted in 1994. I was treated as a child by high school and society at large, but my parents treated me like an adult from an early age. Their approach made me feel empowered, and so I was only rebellious for a short time in my early teens. I felt a sense of control in my life and was trusted. Thus, I put my youthful energy into productive activities. Maybe the problem is not simply a lack of spirituality, an excess of capitalism, or bad parenting. Maybe it’s that our whole societal structure treats young people like children for far too long. Rob Brownridge,Vancouver ■ The damage is done, clean up begins. From the streets to our

reputations, we will be trying to rebuild what was selfishly taken from us by those who forgot we live in the day and age of high tech. People hurt, some severely. Cars destroyed. Businesses ransacked. Minor damage. Major damage. Millions in damage. Faces caught. It will take time but we will survive. But now, it stings like a million scorpions crawling inside my heart. I’m ashamed and embarrassed, and yet I’m an innocent, hockeyloving bystander caught up in the BS caused by others who lack class, respect and a true love of the game. Try as they might to justify it as heartache from the loss of a cup we all so desperately wanted in our city, there is nothing that is so important to destroy the city you claim to love – except for your freedom, which has now been forfeited. We can try to blame it on alcohol,

drugs, emotion, mob mentality. But in the cold, harsh light of day it boils down to one thing – stupidity. Without being afflicted with that disease, people can control their alcohol consumption, drug abuse, emotions, and are self-aware enough to know the actions that happened last week were just wrong. All this over a cup? I hate that this has tarnished the game even more. I hate that it has tarnished our city. And I really hate that it has tarnished the win by a welldeserving team who fought just as hard as ours did to earn the cup. For myself, the tears will dry, my heart will mend and I will continue to enjoy playoff hockey, because I truly love the game, no matter who tries to destroy it for me. My heart goes out to those who suffered. Stacy Kish, Surrey

The photograph below doesn’t accurately indicate attendance or Bill Vander Zalm’s demeanor, writes Jean Moffat.

Facts, figures not seen in photo Editor: Re: HST hike ‘not while I’m finance minister’: Falcon, June 15. Regarding your front-page picture of the town hall meeting at the Kent Street Activity Centre June 12, your photographer would be considered totally incompetent but, in this case, the Peace Arch News is clearly irresponsible. Your photographer was seen by all in attendance taking several photos of the entire room with approximately 120 people in attendance and very few empty seats. (Editor’s note: We reported approximately 75 people were in the audience.) The empty chair you chose to portray is in the front row and, as everyone knows, most people do not like to sit in the front row. This photo also shows three to four empty chairs on the stage. These chairs were placed there by volunteers of the Fight HST group who are fighting to prevent the government’s transfer of more than $2 billion from the taxpayers to the mega wealthy corporations every year. The facts are that Bill Vander Zalm chose to stand to deliver our message – accompanied by Fight HST’s Sal Vetro – of whom you have captured a very small part of his middle body only, between the chin and shoulder of the close-up of the man seated to the right of your photo. This photo you chose to print on your front page shows Vander Zalm with his arms up in the air and makes it look like he is very angry and ranting, which is absolutely not the case. He was merely stating our case and is not the mean, angry person you would make people believe he is. In fact, he is a very pleasant, eventempered person and has worked very hard to get the truth out about the Hated Sales Tax.

I ask that you retract this false portrayal of a very important meeting and print one of your many photos capturing the true attendance and co-chair Sal Vetro. Looking forward to a new photo, also on the front page. Jean Moffat, Surrey

Getting to ‘no’

Re: They convinced us to say ‘yes,’ June 15 letters. Barry Gaudin, of White Rock, said in a letter to your newspaper: “There are some who subscribe to the idea that if the lie is big enough and repeated often enough, there are those who will believe it.” He accuses the government of lying in its advertisements when they state all financial transactions in B.C. were subject to GST. He goes further on to say hair salons, barbershops and restaurant meals were GST exempt. Mr. Gaudin, I suggest instead of accusing the government of lying you start by being factual yourself. Heck, before the HST even if you bought a hot dog at Costco, you paid GST on it. Elmer Sather, Surrey ■ Someone wrote “I’m not that naive or stupid,” preceded by some supposed HST math. You may not be stupid but your math is terrible. Your $6,000 in HST means you had to spend $50,000. $50,000 x 12% = $6,000 of HST. If HST is reduced to 10 per cent then $50,000 x 10% = $5,000, a savings of $1,000, not $120 as you figured. I’ll take $1,000 in savings, how about you? Despite the fact that the tax was introduced in a questionable manner, it is still a simpler, more transparent and more efficient tax than the PST/GST. Give your head a shake, people, and take the two per cent cut. Vote ‘no’ to going backwards to the antiquated GST/PST. Randy Elliston, Surrey

Forum aims to bring community closer together

Finding ways to connect Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Volunteer, invite neighbours over for a barbecue and don’t wait for someone to ask for help before offering it. Suggestions for how to enhance connectivity in White Rock peppered a board in the city’s library Monday, as residents, business representatives and others interested in the concept stepped up to answer the question: What’s one thing you can personally do to make your community better? The commitments, scribbled on white Post-it notes, were collected during a community consultation event held to discuss how to enhance neighbourhood ties in the city. It was the fourth of six such ‘conversations’ taking place through June 28 – others have already been held in Maple Ridge, Richmond and North Vancouver – in response to the Vancouver Foundation’s Vital Signs report. Released last October, the report found that a strong sense of belonging and trust between neighbours helps to create stronger, healthier communities. The results were a surprise, said Lidia Kemeny, the foundation’s director of partnerships and public engagement. Kemeny said having a sense of belonging mattered more to most respondents

than having a nice house and lots of money, when they answered questions on quality of life. “What seemed to matter the most… was how much you felt you belonged in your community,” Kemeny said. The finding led report authors to want to know more about what belonging meant to people, and so began the community conversations. Kemeny agreed that a sense of belonging can be a tough thing to measure. “It’s less tangible, but you can sure feel it when you’ve got it,” she said. “I think people are longing to find that place of connectivity, because it feels like for so long, it’s been missing.” Monday’s event included round-table discussions that culminated with group presentations on connectivity. One group sang its findings, holding hands as they chimed out The More We Get Together. Another group turned theirs into a cheer that linked one word to every letter of ‘Peninsula’ – parks, entertainment, neighbours, inclusion, novelty, sustainable, unity, livable and ambiance. Another touched on the need to dispel “the myths of White Rock” that have people believing it is a community of fit people who

live in nice houses and have 2.5 children; and, one spoke to how White Rock is much like a family – it does well at some things, but isn’t always the best at communicating. Kemeny estimated about 50 people participated in Monday’s conversation – nearly double the 30 that were expected. For Jennifer Beavington, it was a chance to learn a little more about “the lay of the land.” New to White Rock, she said, “it’s been interesting for me to figure out where I belong.” Beavington described the conversation as “a good way for discovery.” Jenny Leese said she had stopped by the library to read the newspaper when she happened upon the consultation and decided to participate. Also new to White Rock, Leese has noticed a lack of cultural events, such as symphony performances. There is also duplication of services, she said. Kemeny told participants the conversation was “a valuable beginning” to community change. Results from each site will be compiled into a report for the area’s city council. The Vancouver Foundation will use the results to guide its work moving forward.

Berry growers, garden centres feel the pain

Cold spring one to forget Jeff Nagel Black Press

Good riddance to a stingy, soggy spring. That’s what sun worshippers, farmers and garden centre operators are all saying after months of unseasonably cool weather. The strawberry harvest is finally getting underway but it’s at least 10 days behind schedule, making it the latest start in 30 years. “Normally you can expect a booming harvest by Father’s Day,” said Sharmin Gamiet, manager of the Fraser Valley Strawberry Growers’ Association. “But it’s been cold and it’s been wet. It has been a challenging season.” The delay has made farmers nervous – many lost crops last fall when heavy rains kept them from getting their root vegetables out of the ground. But Gamiet said the strawberry crop should be good provided plants don’t get shocked by hot weather too quickly.

A cold, rainy spring affected growers’ strawberry crops.

Leanne Johnson, chief operating officer for GardenWorks, said all garden centres have been hard hit by the dismal planting weather. “It’s been the coldest wettest spring in 55 years,” she said. It was so cold and wet early in the spring few people wanted to think about planting, she said. And later on, the Vancouver Canucks playoff run began to compete for attention, keeping would-be gardeners’ eyes on their TVs and their hands out of the soil. “It’s been really tough,” Johnson

said, predicting many gardeners simply won’t spend as much this year. “A lot of people are resigned to it being a lousy spring and they’re just not going to put the same kind of effort in as usual.” Environment Canada meteorologist David Jones said Metro Vancouver got 95 millimetres of rain in April and 92 mm in May – that’s about 25 per cent more overall than averages of 84 mm for a typical April and 68 mm for May. “It was cloudier, wetter and a lot cooler for two solid months,” he said. “April and May were very cold.” Much of the Fraser Valley even got snow on April 14. But he said Metro residents who think it’s stayed bad this month are stuck in the past. “Since June started it’s been not bad,” Jones said, calling it near-average with temperatures running only very slightly below normal.

Jared Ren’s story, Chicken Boy, earned him first prize in contest

Young author honoured Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The life of a chicken may not sound like the stuff winning stories are made of – but, after submitting exactly that to a national competition, Jared Ren knows better. The Bayridge Elementary Grade 4 student learned last month that his short story, Chicken Boy, won first prize for his grade in a contest hosted by Maple Ridge-based Polar Expressions Publishing. In addition to $100 for himself and $100 for his classroom, Ren’s win earned his piece a prominent page in the anthology, Winter Flight: A Collection of Short Stories Written by Young Canadians. It was an “outstanding” submission, Polar Expressions’ managing editor Rachelle McCallum writes in a congratulatory letter to Ren’s teacher, Brenda Webster. Ren, 10, said Chicken Boy tells

the story of a boy who turned into a chicken and laid eggs to fight crime. “He married a girl chicken, and they had a girl and a boy and then he died… by oldness,” Ren said. “I just thought it would be fun to write about a chicken’s life.” The contest, which also had a poetry category, aimed to showcase the work of student writers of all ages, with a goal of inspiring a lifelong enchantment. Thousands of entries were received from more than 500 schools across Canada, and the top 25 to 45 per cent were published, including those of two other Bayridge students’ entries, Natasha Burgert and Hannah Fehr. Ren believes his passion for chapter books helped him clinch the top spot amongst his Grade 4 peers.

“I read lots of chapter books. My dad says that’s why I won,” he said. For Webster, the win was made even sweeter when it came time for her students to decide what they wanted to do with the $100 awarded their classroom. They decided to donate it to BC Children’s Hospital Foundation – a gesture that still brings tears to Webster’s eyes. “I just think it’s really sweet of them,” she said. “They’re global thinkers. They think beyond themselves. I just think it’s really neat that they want to do that.” The money was to be presented to a foundation spokesperson Thursday morning, and Ren hopes it will go far to helping others. “It’ll maybe let the doctors go to a country where there’s a lot of sick people and no doctors,” he said.

Ride raises $11 million for cancer research Close to 3,000 cyclists raised a record $11.1 million in last weekend’s Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer, supporting leading research at the BC Cancer Agency. Riders crossed the finish line at Marymoor Park in Redmond, Wash. Sunday after a journey of more than 200 kilometres that began Saturday morning in Vancouver. As the BC Cancer Agency’s fundraising partner, the BC Cancer Foundation will invest the funds directly into breakthrough cancer research focused on improving outcomes for cancer patients across B.C. “For the third straight year, we have had tremendous support for the ride in communities right

across B.C.,” foundation president and CEO Douglas Nelson said in a release. “The foundation is extremely grateful to all the volunteers, crew members, riders and their supporters. “The funds we have raised will have a significant impact on cancer patients and their families throughout the province and will help bring us closer to achieving our vision of a world free from cancer.” Research projects the ride continues to support include the Pediatric Genome Sequencing Project, the ANGELYC Project for lymphoid cancers and the BC Generations Project. The BC Cancer Foundation also helps fund the purchase of state-

of-the-art equipment, such as the BC Cancer Agency’s second PET/ CT scanner, which significantly reduces patient wait times. Dr. Poul Sorensen, a senior scientist with the agency as well as a rider, said he feels “honoured to ride alongside these inspiring and committed people.” “Their hard work to raise funds makes a huge impact in my research of childhood cancers – their support will make it possible to improve and extend the lives of our youngest cancer patients,” Sorensen said. Registration has already begun for the fourth annual Ride to Conquer Cancer, June 16-17, 2012. Call 1-888-771-2453 or visit www. conquercancer.ca for information.

$25,000 raised for Make-A-Wish B.C. elementary school students have collectively raised $25,594 for the Kids Change Star Bank Program, a student fundraising initiative of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of BC and Yukon. Kids as young as kindergarten age collected coins in their star-shaped banks throughout the school year, before remitting them on World Wish Day April 29, a day marking the anniversary of the first wish ever granted by the foundation. Money raised from the program will be used to grant wishes to youth ages three to 17 who are

battling life-threatening conditions. The star-shaped banks are the students’ to keep as a reminder of a job well done. This is the second year of the program, which is aimed strictly at elementary-school aged children to help teach them about the importance of helping others in the community. This year, the total raised jumped by 47 per cent (last year raised $17,000) with 13 schools participating and more than 3,000 banks in circulation. “The program is growing by leaps and bounds, but we’d love to

Aboriginal Day event held for first time in White Rock

First Nations celebrated by elementary students Hannah Sutherland

Staff Reporter

he grounds at White Rock Elementary were filled with children dancing, playing games, having their faces painted and learning about First Nations traditions last Friday at the school district’s seventh annual national Aboriginal Day celebration. Around 1,000 students from 13 Peninsula elementary schools – as well as members of the public – attended the free event June 17, some of them for the first time. Gayle Bedard, district principal with the district’s Aboriginal Department, said the event used to be held at Bear Creek Park – ❝It’s just where it would attract important for up to 2,000 visitors people to know – before organizers where we’re began bringing the to other from and what celebration areas of the city. we do.❞ “What we realized is there are lots of schools Donda Humchitt in South Surrey, White dancer Rock and Cloverdale, and a lot of schools can’t get to (Bear Creek Park),” she said, noting festivities were held in North Surrey last year and will come to Cloverdale next year. “We get schools that have never participated before.” At White Rock Elementary – the first school to host Aboriginal Day in the district’s south end – students were treated to hot dogs and bannock, games and a visit by the RCMP.

were represented through crafts, cultural displays and a main stage, which featured live dancing, drumming and singing performances. Donda Humchitt of the Urban Heiltsuk Dance Group – which performed button blanket dancing – said practising the dances is not only a way for members to keep their children in touch with their heritage, but allows them to share those roots with the public as well. “I think it’s just important for people

to know where we’re from and what we do, what we celebrate and why we celebrate,” Humchitt said. The purpose of the event is to recognize Aboriginal Day (June 21) and “deepen students’ understanding of the Aboriginal People in B.C.,” Bedard said. “The goal is to share our culture and… bring the awareness that under the umbrella of aboriginal, there are so many diverse cultural groups, and this is a good way to showcase who they are.”

Sessions to help dog owners BC SPCA is looking to offer pet owners unique insight into their canine friends this summer, through one-day sessions with an animal behaviourist. Dr. Jill Taggart will lead Dogs 101 at SPCA shelters throughout summer, including Surrey on July 23. The aim is to help dog owners better understand their pets, and to provide tools to anticipate and

address behaviour issues before they arise. Taggart will also explore how owners can impact pet behaviour – intentionally and unintentionally – through their own actions and signals. Dogs 101 includes an overview of how dogs evolved, their natural instincts and breed-specific behaviour; how dogs communicate; how dogs learn; specific

Board aims to keep young entrepreneurs in Surrey Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Surrey is facing a challenge in keeping its young entrepreneurs, one of the things the new Surrey Board of Trade president will be focusing on over the next year. Mary Jane Stenberg was recently named as president of the board and says encouraging new businesses to remain in Surrey will be among her top priorities. Stenberg is the executive director, external relations and special advisor to the president on strategic initiatives for Kwantlen Polytechnic University, and sees promising grads head out into the business world frequently. She says there are lots of great innovators coming out of the universities right now in the fields of engineering, science technology and nanotechnology. “So how are we going to encourage them to start their businesses in Surrey?” she asked Tuesday. “That’s some of the things we need to take a look at this year. We’re going to do some focus groups and think tanks to really engage the young entrepreneurs.” It means identifying those people before they make decisions on where to locate, Stenberg said. “That means working with Simon Fraser (University) and

Kwantlen and some of the young businesses that are starting up.” On other fronts, she says, 2011 will be a fluid year. “It’s going to be a huge year of possibility, of change,” Stenberg said, noting the vote on the harmonized sales tax is coming up, and one, if not two, elections. “Regardless of what’s happening, it’s going to be important to get the message out about the business community’s needs,” Stenberg said. In her role with Kwantlen, she is in frequent contact with Surrey council, along with MLAs and

MPs, which positions her well to keep the needs of business on the political front burner. She also wants to work with the city on international trade. “What we want to do is set up an international business centre, for businesses that want to do trade and international partnerships,” Stenberg said. Asked what message she would like to get out over the next year, Stenberg said it would be that this area represents the future. “Surrey and the South Fraser are the future of the province of British Columbia,” she said. “We need to get that message out clearly and be recognized for the growing power and the growing force to be reckoned with that we are.” Others named to the 2011 board include: Shelley Besse, First West Credit Union; Jack Boyce, Coast Capital Savings; Jane Hawkins, SFU; John Kearns, Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel; JeanPaul Laube, Abbotsford International Airport; Mauro Manzi, TD Canada Trust; Jason Maynes, Hamilton Duncan Armstrong & Stewart Lawyers; Bijoy Samuel, South Asian Broadcasting Corp.

Where is our summer? We haven’t had the best of weather yet this summer but I hear it is coming! Meanwhile why not plan to do some travelling in a deluxe air conditioned bus and stay in air conditioned hotels! Bob and I have a few great shorter trips this summer that are just right for a quick getaway. We had a great spring going to Palm Springs and then to Europe on a River Cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest. Our passengers made some great memories and a few new friends. Getting through Heathrow airport was certainly an experience but as a group, we were able to bypass some of the line ups and make our connections on time. One of Pitmar Tours trips this summer is a six day tour travelling South to the famous Coeur d’Alene resort in Idaho. We’ve included a boat cruise, a production of My fair Lady at Leavenworth’s Summer Theatre, the Grand Coulee Dam and a Washington winery. Another is a lovely four day trip to the Okanagan. Two nights in Kelowna and one in Salmon Arm. The Okanagan has lots to offer including a two hour narrated tour of Okanagan Lake, lunch and tour of the Hat Creek Ranch, tours through a special pyramid winery, a jammery and a hay ride through the fruit orchards. Remember, Pitmar Tours offer door to door pick up and return and Bob and Teresa

Distant wildfires threaten Metro air

Jeff Nagel Black Press

Air quality warnings issued by Metro Vancouver are increasingly due to out-ofregion wildfires rather than local pollution, according to a new report. Two air-quality advisories issued last year in August lasted a combined total of seven days and both resulted from smoke wafting here from distant fires, noted Metro’s report on air quality in 2010. That fits a trend of the “increasing influence of wildfire particulate” triggering warnings here, it said. Historically, it has been ground-level ozone, not fires, that has degraded air quality in the summer and sparked advisories. Particulate levels stayed within a Canada-wide standard, but exceeded Metro Vancouver’s own more stringent target maximum at times during last August. Metro runs 26 monitoring stations across the Lower Mainland to track air conditions and determine when public warnings are needed. Ozone levels stayed within both the Canada-wide standard and the Metro target at all times last year. That’s an improvement

Fires in the B.C. Interior, like the one at Tyaughton Lake, are threatening Metro Vancouver air. because ozone had exceeded the Metro target at least once in each of the previous nine years. Over the past two decades, the report said, detected levels of most major air pollutants have fallen. It says emissions of carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide have been reduced – despite continued population growth in the Lower Mainland – through better vehicle-emission standards and the AirCare program, while lower levels of sulphur in vehicle fuels has cut sulphur dioxide levels. The shutdown of several

refineries and lowered emissions from cement factories also cut sulphur-dioxide levels. While peak and average levels of carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide have continued to decline in recent years, sulphur dioxide and particulate levels have been relatively flat. Cutting ozone is a challenge because it forms when volatile organic compounds – often from vegetation, including farms – reacts with nitrogen oxides on hot sunny days. Peak ozone levels are down

from the 1980s and early 1990s, but average levels have risen slightly. The report cautions levels of pollutants can deviate depending on local conditions. A two-year study led by UBC researchers aims to determine more ways to cut ozone. Metro is also aiming to reduce particulate from offroad diesel machinery. The region is imposing new fees on excavators, loaders and similar equipment with heavily polluting older engines to put financial pressure on their owners to clean up.

Province extends forest rights Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. government is extending its interim forest and range agreements with aboriginal people to include a new 25-year woodland licence for Crown forests. Forests Minister Steve Thomson announced the new licence Tuesday, one of a series of initiatives to mark National Aboriginal Day. It will provide exclusive rights to harvest Timber on designated Crown land, as well as rights to harvest, manage and charge fees for botanical forest products. The B.C. government has signed 172 interim forest agreements with aboriginal groups since 2002, as a starting point for broader land and resource settlements that accompany treaties. More than 90 per cent of B.C. is Crown land, much of it subject to unresolved aboriginal land claims. “This is something First Nations have been specifically asking for,” Thomson said. “We’ve been working closely with them to develop a licence that meets their specific needs and supports their participation in the forest sector.” First Nations woodland licence holders are required to prepare management and operational plans, to comply with harvest regulations imposed on commercial forest operators. The licences are to be awarded without competition. Aboriginal Relations Minister Mary Polak also announced $2.2 million in federal and provincial funding Tuesday for trades training directed to aboriginal people. The Industry Training Authority will administer the training to an estimated 350 participants in two dozen or more B.C. communities. Another program announced Tuesday funds three programs to train 36 aboriginal people for work in shellfish farming on the B.C. coast.

Contagious illness attacks the glands

Mumps outbreak spreads through Lower Mainland Jeff Nagel Black Press

An outbreak of mumps is underway across the Lower Mainland, affecting mainly young adults. The B.C. Centre For Disease Control says it’s the first sizable mumps outrbreak since 2008 and extends across both the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser Health regions. The centre urges the public to ensure their vaccinations are up to date. The BCCDC says many people in their late teens or early 20s haven’t had a second dose of the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine, which is

recommended for anyone born after 1970. The virus attacks the glands but it can be considerably worse than the classic sore throat and swollen chipmunk cheeks typically experienced by children. Adults after puberty – particularly university students – can be hardest hit. Men can suffer severely swollen testicles that may shrink permanently when the infection ends, causing fertility problems. Salivary glands, ovaries, breasts and the pancreas can also be infected. In rare cases, brain inflammation can kill. Mumps spreads through

coughing and sneezing but also direct contact such as kissing or sharing utensils or water bottles. A third of people infected with mumps have no symptoms, another third experience cold-like symptoms, while the remaining third get tell-tale glandular inflammations. Those most at risk are people who have never been vaccinated or who were vaccinated long ago. Anyone who suspects they have mumps should phone a doctor or Health Link BC at 811, and avoid going to a medical clinic or hospital emergency room, where they may spread the virus to others.

Critics warn much more needed to unclog courts

Latest sheriff cuts reversed Jeff Nagel Black Press

The province will pay for more sheriffs to guard courtrooms, reversing cuts imposed late last month that triggered a wave of trial adjournments and sparked strong criticism from judges and lawyers. Attorney General Barry Penner said the government will restore the hours of 52 auxiliary and part-time sheriffs, which had been sharply reduced in late May, bringing back the equivalent of 34 full-time positions. Penner ordered his staff to find more money within the ministry budget to cover more sheriffs after judges told him they were uncomfortable about the safety of courtrooms in the wake of the reductions. Under the cuts, a roving system was in force where each court didn’t necessarily have its own sheriff but was supposed to be able to call on one quickly if

The province will pay for more sheriffs.

needed. “I do not want cases to be adjourned or dismissed simply because a sheriff is not physically present in a courtroom,” Penner said in a statement. “This comes at a cost. Budgets are already tight because of rising health-care costs and global economic uncertainty.” At least 23 trials were delayed this month, including a murder case and home invasion case, after judges refused to run them without sheriffs present to provide security. Penner noted auxiliary sheriffs work on an as-requested

basis and he expects their hours to continue to fluctuate. “We’re pleased to see the hours come back,” B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union spokesman Dean Purdy said. “But really it’s just a Band-Aid solution. Even before, the judges in many locations around the province were refusing to run their trials because of the shortage of deputy sheriffs.” A hiring freeze in effect for the last couple of years has meant B.C. courts have lost more than 100 sheriffs to attrition prior to the now-reversed cuts. Many departing sheriffs left for other higher-paying law enforcement jobs, Purdy said. He’s also worried Penner’s plan to find money elsewhere in the ministry means “robbing from Peter to pay Paul.” NDP attorney general critic Leonard Krog said the restored hours will help, but

Reaching back to move forward ...

the government must commit to a broader overhaul of the embattled justice system. “This doesn’t deal with all of the other issues plaguing the justice system,” he said. “We are still down 17 judges across the province,” Krog said. “There are still not enough prosecutors. We know the premier, riding the wave of revulsion over the Vancouver riots, has promised swift prosecution. And we know there aren’t enough prosecutors to do it.” The provincial court has warned 2,100 alleged criminals are at risk of walking free because their cases have already dragged on so long they could potentially be quashed due to unacceptable delay.

Most Olympic vandals were not charged.

Accused ringleader of Olympic protesters walked free

No penalty for vandals Jeff Nagel Black Press

Anti-Olympic rioters who smashed windows in downtown Vancouver during the 2010 Winter Games have mostly walked out of B.C. courts without so much as a slap on the wrist. Only a handful of the violent protesters were charged 16 months ago, and even the accused ringleader has since escaped court-imposed punishment. Guillaume JosephMarc Beaulieu, 27, was charged with mischief over $5,000 for allegedly inciting vandalism and leading black-clad anarchists in a destructive spree through downtown Vancouver Feb. 13. Protesters used newspaper boxes as battering rams, spraypainted vehicles and clashed with police. But Crown counsel spokesman Neil McKenzie said the mischief charge against Beaulieu was stayed by prosecutors Jan. 5, after they decided there was little chance of conviction. “Although he apparently participated in the march, there was not any evidence he was personally involved in any violence or

vandalism,” McKenzie said Tuesday. Nobody else was ever charged with actual vandalism from the incident, McKenzie said. Other charges mainly stemmed from clashes with police. Lliam Arthur Brander, 27 of North Vancouver, was charged with assault but McKenzie said that charge was eventually stayed and dealt with through alternative justice measures. Willow Violet Louise Riley, 18, was also charged with assaulting a police officer. The trial was to have gone ahead March 3 but was postponed and the case has been repeatedly adjourned since then. Riley is currently scheduled to be back in court this Friday to set a new date for trial. A couple of others pleaded guilty and received discharges, McKenzie said. The outcomes may be far different for rioters and looters charged in last week’s Stanley Cup hockey riot. Even so, he cautioned, photos and video may not amount to sufficient evidence by themselves for conviction and will have to be weighed carefully by first police and then Crown.

Civil libertarians worry about social-media backlash

ICBC offers riot photo help Jeff Nagel Black Press

ICBC’s offer to let police use its new photo database of B.C. drivers to identify rioters from images circulating online opens an alarming new chapter of anti-privacy surveillance, according to the BC Civil Liberties Association. Policy analyst Micheal Vonn said it’s “deeply disturbing” the facial-recognition software ICBC uses mainly to detect driver’s licence and insurance fraud may quickly be put to other police purposes. “We are in a new world because of the amount of information that was collected through social media and the ability to run that information through population-level biometric databases,” she said. “Your face itself – recorded anywhere in public space – will now be traceable to your identity.” The VPD has already received a million images and thousands of videos of activity during the June 15 Stanley Cup riot, much of it crowd-sourced from hundreds of cameraphone users. Vonn said the implications go far beyond whether those who destroyed cars or looted stores that night get punished in court for their crimes.

NOTICE OF COUNCIL MEETING FOR THE PURPOSE OF PRESENTING: 2010 ANNUAL MUNICIPAL REPORT Pursuant to Section 98 of the Community Charter, S.B.C. 2003, c. 26, the Council of the City of Surrey will receive delegations in the Council Chamber at City Hall, 14245 – 56 Avenue, Surrey, B.C., on Monday, June 27, 2011, commencing at 7:00 p.m., to provide the public an opportunity to comment on or ask questions concerning the 2010 Annual Municipal Report.

File photo

The VPD has received a million images from the riot June 15. Many people in the photos who are identified with ICBC’s help will never be charged but will be forever flagged in police databases as associated with the riot, she said. Police may treat them differently in future encounters, she said, and the incident may pop up as a negative contact in criminal record checks for jobs or volunteer opportunities. International travel could even be blocked if the data finds its way into the hands of U.S. Homeland Security or foreign governments. Those affected may be guilty of nothing more than failing to exit the riot zone fast enough, she said. Technology like ICBC’s soft-

ware creates the potential for “function creep” and more troubling possibilities, she said. Spokesman Adam Grossman said ICBC has only recently gained the ability to import external photos and then detect matches with photos of drivers in the database. ICBC would tell officers if an image matches a record in the database, he said, but wouldn’t share the name until police get a court order. “It’s a very new development for us to be able to put images into our system,” Grossman said. “At the moment, it’s an offer and that’s all there is at this stage.” � see page 32

One Maple Ridge student has been suspended from the national water polo team and other alleged rioters have report-

604-531-6446 • www.southsurreychiropractic.com Holding your “alignment” or adjustment is a phrase commonly used in Chiropractic by both chiropractic doctors and their patients. It is a goal that the chiropractor and patient want to achieve. In a general sense it means that the treatment provided not only provides relief of symptoms, but the position and function of the joint and muscles (soft tissue) becomes stable and balanced. It sounds simple, but sometimes there are challenges encountered that can make it more difficult to achieve this.

Holding your alignment - a chiropractic perspective What are some of these challenges? AGE is a major factor. Obviously, older joints and muscles will not function as well as in a younger individual. Degenerative disorders such as osteoarthritis can have a profound influence on a person’s ability to “hold” an alignment. It does not mean it is impossible, but it could take much longer and the individual may not achieve total stability. Other factors that can inﬂuence this outcome are injuries, posture, length or chronicity of the problem, overuse of a joint-muscle with activity, and poor over-all ﬁtness. Diet, nutrition and stress can also have a major effect on an individual’s neuro-musculo-skeletal health. Chiropractic plays a major role in helping a person “hold their alignment” and improve their neuro-musculo-skeletal health and general overall health.

Like Soroka, he has moved from being a victim – he narrowly survived a road accident caused by a drinking driver who was, himself, killed in the crash – to

become an advocate for change. “Back when I started getting involved the issue of drinking and driving was just coming to light,” he said. “Now we’re well on the way to where impaired driving is not tolerable – when we see it, we do something about it.” Banovich, who admits to bearing

some psychological scars from incidents of domestic violence he witnessed as a child, said it’s high time that society decides that it, too, is unacceptable. “There has been a lot of cultural acceptance of domestic violence,” he noted. Part of this has to do with the � see page 34

And Token Rhyme is a tremendous local band.” At 6:30 p.m., Elvis and Marilyn Monroe will be on stage live thanks to a husband and wife team of impersonators who reportedly have their style and mannerisms down to a ‘T’. Dogwood and Dahlia (7:20 p.m.) take retro style in more folky, old-timey direction. “They’re a young couple who went to school at Earl Marriott Secondary and they look like

something out of Saskatchewan in 1946,” Davey said. “She plays banjo and he plays guitar and they’re incredibly talented.” Alternative rock/pop band Their There (7:35 p.m.) has far transcended its beginnings at Marriott with several years of dues-paying gigs, Davey said. Headliner Ben Rogers (8:30 p.m.) is a rising performer in the Lower Mainland who has been compared with Bob Dylan and whose avowed influences include Tom Waits and Johnny Cash. “He’s one of the greatest singersongwriters you’ll ever hear,” Davey said.

Meanwhile, Canada Day celebrations in Surrey at the Cloverdale Millennium Amphitheatre (176 Street at 64 Avenue) will also include an

act well-known to Peninsula audiences. The Oh Wells, who have made the Top 20 in the Peak Performance Project, will be featured in a special two-stage showcase with the other bands. The young South Surrey-based band can be seen at 5:40 p.m. on the Peak’s second stage. Main stage performers at the Surrey event include rock legends Trooper (featuring White Rock’s Ra McGuire), Prairie classic rock heroes Harlequin, pop songstress/ TV star Elise Estrada, country performers the Jeffersons featuring Lisa Brokop and Big River’s tribute to Johnny Cash, plus special appearances by South Surrey’s Mark Donnelly and DJ collective The Freshest.

Violence within families an ‘illness’

� from page 33 way that victims are often made to feel that they are responsible for the abuse, and end up blaming themselves, or living in denial, Soroka said. “Often victims will stay with their abuser. There is a lot of manipulation and control going on, particularly when there are children involved. It complicates the issue.” Soroka could be forgiven for having little compassion for perpetrators of domestic violence, but said she also recognizes that merely assigning blame is not the key to ending the problem.

“In many cases, they don’t know they have an illness – that there is a cycle there. It’s learned at an early age,” Soroka said. “If we don’t break it down, the cycle will continue and continue.” And that’s where Smiles and Laughter Entertainment – with an outlook as hopeful as its name – can make a long-term difference, she believes, one that could end up extending far beyond the boundaries of Surrey. “Change can happen and we can all contribute to that,” Soroka said.

It’s a celebration of life – a whimsical selection of colourful people and animals and insects filling the canvas below a sky bursting with activity. Inspired by a Vancouver fireworks display, the images are those of artist Ferdinand Maravilla, whose painting The City’s Fireworks on Display! was chosen among more than 50 for Surrey’s ARTS 2011 juried exhibition. In its 27th year, the show features an eclectic mix of works from both established and emerging artists in an array of media. Jurors Liane Davison, Jim Adams and Alison MacTaggart were charged with winnowing the pool of 220 submitted works down to 55 for the Surrey Art Gallery (13750 88 Ave.) exhibit. Included in the drawings, paintings and sculptures are four photographs and two pieces of glasswork and several clay sculptures. There are depictions of various birds and animals, a full wall of landscapes and human figures in various forms. While some artworks are more traditional in either subject matter and/or medium, many artists, said the jurors, “were interested in pushing boundaries.” Marthe Lemire’s self-portrait, for example, is done on a rough board with canvas stretched over it, textured with drywall mud. Meghan Carich has done a bird-like mask of leather, while Paula Parkman’s painting is done on a map. Awards will be given in the categories of Painting: Works on Canvas; Painting: Works on Paper; Drawing, 2-D Mixed

Two-night reprise to raise money for trip to provincial competition

Award-winning production returns to stage Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Theatregoers who missed the run of White Rock Players Club’s award-winning production Ladies of the Camellias in April have a second opportunity next week – while fans of the show have their chance for a second helping. The Lillian Groag farce – which imagines a duelling diva confrontation in 1897 Paris between two of the finest actresses of the age, Sarah Bernhardt and Eleanora Duse – returns for two nights only (Tuesday and Wednesday, June 28-29, 8 p.m.) at the Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. The shows are a fundraiser to help offset costs of taking the play, which won best production in the Theatre B.C. Vancouver Zone festival in New Westminster, to the Mainstage finals in Kamloops this July. The original cast is back, with two exceptions due to conflicting schedules – Darien Edgeler takes over the role of the anarchist Ivan from Stephen Benjamin Fowler, while the play’s director, Paul Kloegman steps into the role of playwright Alexandre Dumas fils, previously played by Gerard Ponsford. Returning are Brent Cross (Coquelin), Alexandra Wilson (Girl), Ken Fynn (Benoit), Jason Dedrick (Worms), Ryan S. Johnson (who won best supporting actor in

Nancy Ebert won honourable mention for her role as Sarah Bernhardt in Ladies of the Camellias. the zone festival as Flavio Ando), and last but certainly not least Lori Tych (best actress as Duse) and Nancy Ebert (who won honourable mention as ‘The Divine Sarah’ herself). Ebert, a highly regarded community theatre actress who has done most of her work on the North

Shore and latterly with the Vagabond Players in New Westminster, said she’s enjoying renewing her acquaintance with White Rock – Ladies of the Camellias was her first production here, not counting a single performance of Evelyn Strange for the Vagabond Players (for which she won a CTC best

actress award). “When I came down here to audition, I was thinking I’d really like to do a show in White Rock,” she said. “I was honoured to be chosen to be in this one.” Ebert, a retired school teacher, who first caught the acting bug in Prince Rupert in 1973, said she

enjoyed researching the real Bernhardt for the show – even though Ladies of the Camellias is a comedic fantasy, replete with in-jokes geared to lovers of theatre and theatre lore. “Most of the rumours about Bernhardt seem to have been true – about sleeping in a coffin and losing a leg late in life,” Ebert said. “But she seems to have been enormously talented.” Ebert said she even listened to a rare recording of the actress’s voice – although she quickly realized the flowery “singing the lines” style of 19th century theatre wouldn’t play well today. “In the play she’s very grand, very theatrical, and very much the diva,” she said, adding she’s enjoying working with the other actors again and the re-match with Tych. “Lori’s just so good and she does an Italian accent that’s brilliant,” she said. Ebert said she’s also enjoying sharing the stage with Kloegman, who won best director honours at the zone festival. “He’s such a good director because he wants it to be perfect. We’d work through every scene and go through the beats, and he’d find every way to bring it up a notch. “And he’s such a funny man – he gets all the jokes, which means he can bring out every bit of the humour.”

Bart passed away five years ago at the age of 76, after a battle with pneumonia. “It was so close to Father’s Day, and with my dad being such a big part of the Bruins and him not being there . . .” Bradley mused, his voice trailing off. On the ice, Bradley waited his turn to hoist the Cup. “Getting to lift the Cup over my head on the ice was something special,” he said. “It’s hard to describe. It’s like, ‘Is this really happening?’” Bradley joined the team in the locker room, where he sat beside the Cup for a long time and simply stared at the holy grail. Then he hopped on the team charter back to Boston

The Canucks were heavily favoured heading into the final, but few would have predicted the Bruins would hold the NHL’s most potent offence to just eight goals over seven games. “I think they underestimated us,” Bradley theorized. “We had something inside us where we weren’t going to quit. “That shows you the wherewithal and character of the players. They knuckled down, and they’re champions. It’s a great group of kids that pulled this off.” In the wake of the Bruins’ Game 7 win, Bradley received upwards of 200 messages from friends back home. “I’m still trying to get back to everybody,” he said. “I give my friends a lot of credit. They’re all Canucks fans, but they were gracious.”

Elexa to hit field with Surrey Storm at Canadian Open next month

Scholarship secure at SFU

SURREY EAGLES SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

CAMP

Rick Kupchuk Black Press

The four-hour drive was getting to be a bit much for Sammie Elexa and her family. A softball standout living in Penticton, Elexa was playing in the South Okanagan but would often travel to Surrey to train at the West Coast Softball Academy under coach Kim Wright. “We were driving down every weekend, and it was beginning to become too much,” said Elexa. “There was only one rep team in Penticton, and I ended up having to do school from home because we were doing so much driving. “It was too much.” So the family sold their home, and moved to Surrey to allow Sammie and sister Francis to pursue their passion. Four years later, the move has paid off. Elexa, 18, will play at Simon Fraser University (SFU) next season, accepting a scholarship offer last December. A first-year student at SFU, playing for the school’s NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) team accomplishes one of several goals she has set for herself. “SFU was the target. I didn’t want to move away from home,” she said Sunday at Cloverdale Athletic Park, between games of a tournament she and her Surrey Storm ’93 team-

Participants also receive one child or teen admission ticket to the Canadian Open tournament, which runs July 9-17.

Moved in Grade 9 ďż˝ from page 40 Now in her second season with the Storm after one year with the White Rock Renegades, Elexa said the adjustment from rep ball in Penticton to the more competitive programs in Surrey was more difficult on the field than off it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a little hard (playing more competitive softball), but I set really high goals for myself. And that made it a little easier,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d gone to West Coast, so I knew girls from there.â&#x20AC;? Her family moved to the Lower Mainland while Elexa was in Grade 9, and the third baseman wasted little time winning a championship while playing for the

Vancouver Wildcats in the Showcase (under16) division at the 2008 Canada Cup. She will be at the tournament again next month, competing in the Futures (under19) division at the Canadian Open Fastpitch tournament at Softball City and Cloverdale Athletic Park July 9-17. (For more information, see canadianopenfastpitch. com) A scholarship secured, with plans to major in psychology next year, Elexa isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done pursing her goals in softball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying out for the junior national team this summer,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully one day, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be on the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national team.

10K run set for July 1 For a third year in a row, Peninsula runners can celebrate Canada Day with a run, as the Peace Arch News Canada Day 10K is set to hit the streets of White Rock. The run begins at 8 a.m. July 1, with a kid’s run set for 10 a.m. Last year, despite colder-than-usual temperatures and a light rain, more than 250 runners took part in the 10-km run/walk/ jog, which is organized and hosted by Try Events. So far this year, registration numbers are down slightly, said Try Events’ Mitchell Hudson. The run starts at Semiahmoo Park, and from there, runners head west down Marine Drive before turning right up Bishop Road to North Bluff Road. Runners then move east down North Bluff until they get to Oxford Street, and the course then winds briefly down the Oxford hill to Thrift Avenue, before turning down Stayte Road and back to Semiahoo Park. To sign up for the Canada Day 10K, visit www.tryevents.ca and click on the Canada Day 10K link. - Nick Greenizan

Jordan Bracey, nephew of Rick Bracey, knocks a ball to right field at 29er Memorial Rick Bracey Softball Tournament at Softball City on Saturday.

experience

life in their shoes

James Maclennan photo

Ball tourney honours friend Dubious weather conditions did little to dampen spirits at a memorial softball tournament last weekend. Turnout and support for the First Annual 29er Memorial Slopitch Tournament was “absolutely fantastic,” reports Jason Brooks, one of the event’s organizers. Held June 18 at Softball City, the tournament was organized in memory of Rick Bracey, a longtime Crescent Beach resident who died last summer from von Hippel-Landau syndrome. VHL is a rare genetic disorder that causes abnormal growth of

blood vessels, which knot into tumours, some of which are cancerous. Bracey’s first symptoms of VHL were discovered when he was 17, when tumours developed on his adrenal glands. Following surgery, he was symptom-free for 25 years, until tumours began to develop in his brain, pancreas, bowel and liver. After a nine-year battle, he died last July 26. Brooks described Bracey as “a great friend and mentor,” who he got to know through working with Bracey’s wife, Kathy, at the

Peninsula Village Safeway. A slo-pitch tournament was deemed the best way to celebrate Bracey’s life, Brooks said, adding the hope is to continue the tradition every June, on Bracey’s birthday weekend. Saturday’s tournament raised $10,200 for the VHL Family Alliance, a organization that provides information and services for families and physicians dealing with the disease. All 96 players and 27 volunteers who participated wore jerseys bearing Bracey’s number, 29. - Tracy Holmes

Sydney

Henry, Robert James September 1, 1923 June 17, 2011 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing our beloved Husband, Dad, Grandfather and Great Grandfather, Robert James Henry. He is lovingly remembered by his wife of 64 years, Phyllis, his daughters Susan (John) MacDonald and Deborah (Robert) Hansen, 3 grandchildren, Natalie (Brad), Stefanie (John) and Jaclyn, great grandson Owen; relatives and good friends. Bob served his Country in World War II with the RCAF from 1941 - 1945. His love of airplanes never wavered as shown in his model airplane collection and numerous aircraft pictures that followed him from his home to his care home. He will always be remembered as a true gentleman who loved his family dearly. He had a wonderful sense of humor that carried him through even to his final days. He loved life and lived it the way he wanted to by travelling and spending his retirement days in Arizona. He was King of the Road in his Motor home, craving adventure and seeing new places. Our family would like to thank the numerous caregivers at Ocean View Care Home and Morgan Place Nursing Home who helped us along the way. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Diabetes Association would be greatly appreciated. Online condolences may be given at www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca A Service of Remembrance to celebrate Bob’s life, will be held on Wednesday June 29th, 2011 at Saint Marks Anglican Church, 12593-20th Avenue, South Surrey, BC, V4A 1Z1 at 1pm.

Passed away peacefully at age 84 at Peace Arch Hospital, BC. Syd is survived by his loving wife, Phyllis Olson; his son, Dr. Brian Koffman and wife, Patty; his four grandchildren, the very pregnant Rachael (Nick Sowers), Heather, Ben, and Will; and his dear sister Sonya Fox and her children, Brandon (Carmen) and Lloyd. He will be deeply missed by his inlaws and many nieces and nephews. His parents, Ben and Lena, and wives, Ruth and Georgina, predecease him. Born in Toronto, Syd worked at Famous Players where he met Ruth, the first love of his life and mother of Brian. Soon he began his life long career with Pepsi, first supervising truck routes, advancing until he retired as VP. He was proud of his charity work with Variety Club and Tim Hortons Children’s Foundation (a lodge is named in his honor). “Mr. Pepsi” went on to run a successful B&B with Georgie in Whistler before retiring a second time to Langley and then to White Rock where he and Phyllis have enjoyed their association with the Rotarians. He was a doting husband, a strong father, a generous brother, an engaging Zadie, a charming uncle, and a funny and fun loving companion: someone you would want on a desert island or in his case, a cruise stop. Syd was a mench who loved well, and was loved. On line condolences to the family may be made to:

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Wife, Mother, Sister, Aunt, Oma. Mom was born in Montreal, QC. Mom is survived by her husband of 43 years, Richard, daughter, Bonita (Laird) and grandson, Aiden, sister, Maude (Brian) of Kelso, Australia, niece and nephews, Cynthia, Andrew and David, of Australia. Mom will be fondly remembered and in the hearts of so many friends. The family would like to extend their special thanks to the Palliative Drs. and Hospice nurses at PAH. A Celebration Mass will be held at the Good Shepherd Church (2250 - 150 St., Surrey, BC) Tuesday, June 28th, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, a donation in Mom’s memory to the BC Cancer Foundation (604-8776040) towards Brain Cancer Research would be appreciated. Don’t be sad that she is gone; be glad that she was here.
