Six townhall meetings identify city’s main problems Amy Reid

Now staff twitter@amyreid87

SURREY – The City of Surrey’s series of six townhall meetings came to a close Tuesday night in Fleetwood. Coun. Barinder Rasode, who led the meetings in Surrey’s communities, said they went well, but acknowledged they’ve also been tough. “Some meetings have been challenging and tough, but it’s our responsibility to listen to residents. It’s kind of like a complaints department. You have to be prepared, if you want to provide better service, to have people critique you on your service.” Rasode said there were a few main issues that she heard in every community. “Bylaw enforcement has been a big issue, the secondary suite issue has been a big one and growth. Those are the top three. I was very pleasantly surprised that while crime has come up, it hasn’t come up a lot.” Transit has come up a lot as well, Rasode said.

A legacy garden for Laura Amy Reid

Now staff twitter@amyreid87

DELTA – What started as a dream to create a 10x10 garden plot in memory of slain teen Laura Szendrei evolved into what is now a 3,000-square-foot legacy garden on the grounds of Burnsview Secondary. Szendrei, a 15-year-old Burnsview Secondary student, died in hospital one day after she was beaten in daylight while walking along a path in the Mackie Park forest in September 2010. Grade 11 Burnsview student Kirsten Martin, who played soccer with Szendrei, is one of the

his Friday, a room full of police officers, politicians, probation officers and others will meet in Surrey to discuss the involvement of developmentally disabled youth in the criminal justice system. The forum, hosted by the City of Surrey, aims to come up with ways to help these children and the challenges they face in the court system. The idea was first conceived last September, when Coun. Barinder Rasode met with members of the Surrey school district’s Foundations program, a special education program that addresses the needs of at-risk youth, aged 16 to 19, with learning and behavioural challenges. “What became really apparent is that these are children who have either fetal alcohol syndrome, other genetic problems or horrid life situations,” Rasode said. “What’s been happening, because they’re so vulnerable, they were either being recruited or getting involved in petty theft. And once they got into the court system, there was no way to identify them. An officer, for example, would go to arrest one of these young people, and the officer wouldn’t have any way of doing an assessment.” The result, Rasode said, is these kids end up behind bars, where they will likely get more wrapped up in undesirable activities. “There’s got to be a better way that we can work with the criminal justice system to identify these kids immediately. And I don’t support labelling, but in this situation it just makes such a significant difference,” Rasode said.

HOW FOUNDATIONS HELPS YOUTH

Debbie Holmes, head teacher at the Foundations program, said during the past four years, the class has had 75 students. Of those 75, half of them have had involvement in the criminal justice system. Trevor (not his real name) has been enrolled in the Foundations program for

Challenged. Vulnerable. Not without hope. Surrey forum searches for a ‘better way’ to deal with developmentally disabled youth in trouble with the law

Story by Amy Reid

Debbie Holmes is head teacher at Foundations, a special education program for at-risk youth with learning and behavioural challenges. (Photo: AMY REID) the last two years. Trevor has been to court about 20 times and has faced nearly 10 charges, he said. When he was enrolled in a Surrey high school, he often skipped classes. But at Foundations, he attends regularly and has turned his life around. Last summer, Trevor held a warehousing job and said he liked the people he worked with. He is taking a painting course through the Finishing Trades Institute with a few of his classmates.

Holmes said Trevor was quiet when he started in Foundations. “He didn’t seem to trust anyone that his life could get better. Once he was given better ways to express himself and positive activities to do in the community, things seemed to turn around.” Holmes said gaining employment was motivating for Trevor. “He saw other students in the program had jobs and he wanted that for himself. “Trevor has worked hard to change his life.”

HIDDEN DISABILITIES

Holmes said many students in the Foundations program have hidden disabilities. “For example, they look as normal as you and I, but their thinking is different. Their thinking may be slower, or they don’t understand social cues. They often don’t have that spidey sense, as I call it. For example, we know not to walk down a dark alley because it’s dangerous. They don’t get that.” Holmes said the issues begin when these kids end

up in trouble with the law. “We have no way of flagging them. The ones that we have flagged are just because we’ve told the parents we can help if they give us permission to go to court, write a letter, talk about their issues and bring it up to the court system.” Holmes and others with the Foundations program spend hours upon hours in court advocating for their students. “This is a huge problem and Surrey is not running away from it,” Holmes said. “This is a societal problem. It’s something that’s here. There’s no one person to blame for this. It’s not parents’ fault, it’s not the city’s fault, there’s no one to blame. “It’s just a problem that we need to look at.” And she said the problem is getting bigger. “I don’t know if it’s that we’re better at diagnosing, I don’t know how it’s becoming bigger, but it is. Maybe it was always there and we didn’t see it – maybe our prisons are full of people with disabilities.” Holmes said she wants the children held accountable for their actions, but said there has to be a better way. “By the time they get found guilty in court and you get to sentencing, that’s when the courts find out about their challenges, and then no one wants to send them to jail.” Because the kids often don’t know right from wrong, Holmes said, it;s easy for others to manipulate them into committing crimes. “They don’t understand half the time that what they did was wrong. Somebody says, ‘Go take that cellphone,’ so they take it, not realizing they’re stealing it. They cognitively can’t understand that.” Holmes is hopeful some solutions and ideas will come out of the City of Surrey’s forum. The forum, called Developmentally Disabled Youth: Helping to Reduce Involvement in the Criminal Justice System, takes place Friday. Participation is by invitation only. areid@thenownewspaper.com

Awards

‘Now’ earns 3 national awards SURREY – The Now’s multimedia coverage of a visit from former U.S. Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton has earned it a national award. Editor Beau Simpson and reporters Amy Reid and Tom Zytaruk covered the Surrey Regional Economic Summit in Surrey last October, which featured a visit from the two former U.S. presidents. Our journalists’ work on the web included stories, photo galleries, videos and live tweets throughout the day. Their coverage earned them the award for Best Multimedia Feature (circulation 10,000 and over) at the Canadian Community National Newspaper Awards. Publisher Marlyn Graziano said the team’s planning paid off. “I was very proud of our team’s thoughtful and methodical multimedia approach to this story,” said Graziano. “I am delighted the judges deemed our coverage worthy of a national award. “We knew that all eyes were on Surrey for the summit,” added Graziano. “The team did a superb job of capturing the entire event on many different levels.” Simpson said, from the outset, the news team was committed to using the web to lead the coverage. “We told the biggest story of 2011 using all the tools at a modern journalist’s disposal, with fantastic results,” said Simpson, who tweeted from inside the exclusive presidents’ session. The Now also won the CCNA award for Best Headline Writing. The Now’s website was also named second best community newspaper website (circulation 12,500 and over) in Canada.

Laura Szendrei walk set for Sunday

‹ from page 1

Dozens of students and volunteers spent countless hours last summer constructing the sloped garden, which features flowers, small shrubs and pathways, and a plaque on a wooden bench engraved with the words, “In loving memory of Laura Szendrei, April 2, 1995 to September 26, 2010.” “It’s not only a memorial garden, it’s a legacy garden,” said White. “It’s a lifetime legacy for Laura and the school.” While the garden is being unveiled during Sunday’s run, White said there’s still more to be done. There are plans to add concrete tables and benches so students can gather and study at the garden, and to add an arbor. White also said the garden, though completed, has space for many more plants. He welcomed plant donations from the community. “The garden really turned out great,” White said. “The girls should be proud. They’ve created something that will be really special for the school.” White said registration for the Walk, Run and Roll is down this year. “People tend to forget about it,” White said. “But we don’t want people to

Vigil for Kassandra SURREY – A candlelight vigil will honour Kassandra Kaulius Thursday, the one-year anniversary of her death. Kaulius, 22, was driving her BMW through the intersection of 152nd Street and 64th Avenue on a green light when a white Ford Econoline van broadsided her car at about 100 kilometres an hour on May 3 last year. She died at the scene. Natasha Leigh Warren, 34, is charged in connection with the collision that killed Kaulius. Kaulius was a scholarship-winning athlete who coached and played softball. She was also engaged. The vigil is set for Thursday (May 3) at 8 p.m. at Sullivan Park, located at 6272 152nd St.

We’d really like to turn this into a community event.” Money raised will benefit the Laura Szendrei Memorial Scholarship Foundation Society. Last year’s run raised about $40,000, which was enough money to set up a lifetime scholarship in Szendrei’s name at Kwantlen Polytechnic University exclusively for Delta secondary students. The second annual Laura Szendrei 5 & 10K Walk, Run and Roll is set for Sunday, May 6 at Burnsview Secondary in North Delta from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Register online at lswalkrunroll.com.

Murder trial

Bear spray means jail

The murder trial for the juvenile charged in the death of Laura Szendrei is set to begin Aug. 13. The accused, who also lived in North Delta, was 17 years old at the time of the murder, so his identity is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. He was charged with first-degree murder after his arrest in February 2011.

SURREY – Stephen Aaron Meeches, 20, has been sentenced to 25 days in the can and 15 months probation for letting fly with bear spray in SkyTrain cars at the Scott Road and Columbia stations. This was after a Canucks game on April 22. Meeches pleaded guilty to seven counts of assault with a weapon.

Townhall meetings already causing change ‹ from page 1

Rasode said generally, area residents’ concerns were more similar than different, but some neighbourhoods took more issue with certain things than others. “In South Surrey, there were more concerns about growth, and we’re dealing with a little bit more of the crime stuff in Newton,” Rasode said. Jude Hannah, who has recently formed ReNewton, a group advocating to revitalize the Newton area, attended the Newton townhall meeting. She spoke about the South Newton area, which she says is in decline. “There has been much focus on improving the City Centre area of Surrey and it appears that Newton has been the unfortunate casualty of that intense focus. A healthy, safe and vibrant Newton has been left off the to-do list.” Hannah said she heard frustration from many homeowners at the meeting regarding crime, specifically drug activity and prostitution in residential neighbourhoods. Catherine McLeod, who also lives in Newton, attended all six townhall meetings. She said while everyone brings their own issues to the table, she heard concerns about bylaw enforcement, secondary suites, monster homes and transit at nearly every meeting. “It’s been fun and interesting,” she said of attending the meetings. “There’s obviously a key set of problems.” She said the “nastiest” meeting was South Surrey, where residents were very upset about development. She said through attending the meetings, she learned that the city is dependent on other levels of government to fix many issues, such as lack of transit accessibility. McLeod said Surrey needs to “slow down” and wait for the infrastructure to be in place before allowing any more development. Now that the meetings are done, it’s time

How is Surrey doing on Sustainability? See for yourself on the City’s newly launched Sustainability Dashboard! The dashboard is an online platform that tracks our progress across dozens

for Surrey council to look at possible responses, Rasode said. She said as a result of the meetings, the city has already undertaken a restructuring of the bylaw department. Barinder Rasode “There’s already been significant changes made and I think you’ll see some very public changes coming very soon,” she said, but added she couldn’t yet comment on exactly what those changes were. When it comes to secondary suites, Rasode said in her opinion it’s a complex matter because it has to do with human beings who call the suites homes. “When you engage people and ask what it is about the suites that bug them, the main issue becomes the parking,” she said. “I want to ask Surrey residents how many of them park their cars in their garage and don’t use it for storage. We’ve got to think outside of the box on this issue. “We’ve approved one secondary suite, we now monitor through the classifieds when people are advertising suites, and really, do people expect us to knock on the door of somebody who has two suites and say, within two months you have to vacate this home, to that senior or that eight-year-old that lives there with their mom or dad?” Rasode said the city can be aggressive on things they are directly responsible for – such as bylaw – but it’s challenging when matters involve other levels of government. “Like with transit, we’re butting our head up against a wall against a governance model that doesn’t work.” The minutes from each meeting will be written up, distributed to meeting attendees and the city’s senior management team. A corporate report will later go to Surrey city council.

WHITE ROCK – City workers will be removing excess logs along White Rock beach beginning early Thursday morning. The logs will be removed from areas around the White Rock and the boat launch on West Beach. Paul Slack, manger operations with the City of White Rock said the removal is for safety concerns and to allow better drainage

of storm drains along the waterfront. Slack said the city does not want a completely manicured beach and will be leaving some logs to maintain the natural look of the area. The removal has been approved by the Fraser River Estuary Management Program for environmental concerns. The logs will be taken to Fraser Richmond Soil and Fibre to be ground up for recycling. Slack expects the removal to take a couple of days.

Murder trial

Lawyer grills shooter over phone calls caught on tape Tom Zytaruk

Now staff twitter@tomzytaruk

Lester Oseguera told a jury that the man he’s accused of murdering “was a beautiful person.” Jose Luna’s shooting death was a “terrible accident,” he said. “I liked him very much.” Crown Prosecutor Geoff Baragar questioned why comments Oseguera made to his girlfriend Denise, after his arrest, tell a different story. Police had intercepted phone calls he placed from Surrey PreTrial in which he referred to Luna as “the retard who is dead” and “that stupid guy,” Baragar told the jury. “Why did you do what you did?” Oseguera’s girlfriend asked him during the first call. “Because that son of a bitch offended me,” Oseguera replied to her. “He offended me, I was armed, I don’t joke,” he told her during their third conversation. Baragar pressed Oseguera to explain these calls and the accused expressed exasperation at his own “crazy” comments.

Oseguera, a house painter originally from Honduras, is on trial in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster for second-degree murder in the death of Luna. He’s accused of shooting Luna dead in a basement suite they shared with two other men in Bolivar Heights on Aug. 30, 2010. Oseguera said he was talking to his roommate Douglas Nash when the 9mm handgun in his hand went off by accident. Nash had told the jury that Luna came out of his room, said something in Spanish to Oseguera, and Oseguera shot him. Oseguera told the jury he continued to talk to Nash for about 30 seconds after the gun went off when Luna came out of his room, handed a cellphone to him and asked him to call 911. Oseguera said Luna seemed normal, and asked him “What’s wrong?” He said Luna then dropped. He didn’t see any blood, he said. “That’s how it happened.” Baragar noted Luna had a “gaping hole” in his neck. “This was no accident, you were angry,” Baragar charged. “It never happened like that,” Oseguera replied. The trial continues.

Olympic florist shares expertise with ‘broken women’

SURREY – Flowers for mom take on a whole new meaning this year when an Olympic-level talent leads a special workshop on flower arranging for women in recovery. June Strandberg, one of two women to design bouquets for medalists at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, is sharing her expertise on May 9 for the female students of Welcome Home Addiction Recovery Academy. Welcome Home is a residential recovery program that also teaches life skills. “June’s passion is for helping broken women,” said Rikki Fryatt, Welcome Home’s director of female programs. “She says flowers have proven to be magical and that the first arrangement is like a miracle. When women don’t think they can do anything and come to her with no self-respect and no self-confidence, she helps them create something beautiful that they didn’t believe they could do. When customers come in, they will know these Mother’s Day bouquets were made with love by our students.” The bouquets, completed under Strandberg’s supervision, will be sold to the public from May 10 to 12 at PricePro, at

DELTA – The Delta school district strives to address concerns through meaningful dialogue, says board chair Dale Saip. His comment was in response to a request by a pair of South Delta Secondary students to add a provision regarding homophobia to the district’s anti-bullying policy. At a presentation to the Delta school board last week, Grade 12 student Maddy Van Beek and Grade 10 student Rachel Garrett asked for a specific policy dealing with the issue. Saip said the district is inviting concerned students to join them at the Superintendent’s Council made up of teachers, students, parents and administration to discuss ideas and concerns. “Our current bullying policy states that we do not tolerate any form of discrimination in our schools; this includes discrimination based on sexual orientation. So it is addressed in our current policy,” Saip said. “However, students, teachers and parents have come to us with real concerns of anti-homophobia discrimination in our schools. We need to ensure their concerns are attended to. At this point, we don’t know what the final actions and recommendations will be, be it new policy or other action, we don’t know the outcomes yet.” Van Beek said having the proposal brought forward at the Superintendent’s Council is a step in the right direction. Noting parent response has, so far, been

extremely positive, she said a model anti-homophobia policy was devised using one inspired by the Burnaby school district. “A lot of what the Burnaby policy focused on was Dale Saip education and a bit on the punitive measures for those who displayed homophobia. But it’s mostly education and we think education is absolutely the most crucial,” Van Beek said. “If people are educated about these things, they’ll realize these are painful words they’re using. If people are more educated, then homophobia will decrease much faster,” she added. Saip said he’s not against an antihomophobia policy, but he’s reluctant to jump into a policy that could detract from other forms of bullying. “However, students have come forward with a real issue that affects their lives and the lives of many other students. It is our responsibility as the board of education to ensure their concerns are genuinely attended to,” he said. The B.C. NDP last year called on the government to ensure every school in the province has specific policies regarding homophobia and transphobia. Earlier this year, the West Coast Legal Education and Action Fund also asked the government to introduce a provincial policy to prevent homophobia in schools.

Prohibition seems to have taught us nothing ViewFrom TheCheap Seats

Michael Booth

hey say those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it. Not as user friendly as well-worn folklore concerning the benefits of having two birds in your hand (aside from the inevitable guano), or the joys of saving pennies (soon to be removed from circulation), or even the specious argument for augmenting your health insurance by eating apples (it may actually be a clever sales pitch by apple growers), but sage advice nonetheless. People in this province can identify with the sentiment behind the adage. The British Columbia political scene is little more than a recycling bin as voters take turns electing NDP or Social Credit/Liberal/ Insert-right-leaningcentrist-party-name-here governments expecting a change, only to get fed up

and throw the bastards out a decade later when they discover that the passengers are the same no matter how flashy the paint job is on the clown car. The new flavour of the month, of course, is just a rebranding of the same group of empty smiling faces and backroom hacks who were tossed from power 15 years earlier. And so the cycle continues. Looking at the bigger picture using a much longer time frame, another ignored pattern of mistakes from the past is once again unfolding in Canada and the United States. In the early decades of the 20th century, the temperance movement used its hefty political clout to lobby the governments in both countries to ban the production and sale of alcohol to the public. The resulting prohibition era did not exactly unfold as the tee-totallers expected. Instead of watching a utopian society unfold on a continent freed from the influences of the booze demon, the new laws had the opposite effect.

Just as taking away a toy makes a child want the plaything more, banning booze made liquor incredibly popular. By making alcohol illegal, the governments of the day effectively created the best marketing campaign for booze the world has ever seen. Whether the temperance folks ever had the support of the majority of citizens quickly became a moot question as ordinary folks sought out new sources of alcohol. With the big brewers and distillers out of the game, not surprisingly it was the criminal element who quickly stepped up to fill the void. Soon, everybody knew a bootlegger or two who could provide the booze while the criminal gangs fought bloody wars to control the business. There were corrupt cops, smugglers running liquor across the border and gun

battles in the streets over turf. Sound familiar? Canadians came to their senses first and prohibition was repealed in British Columbia in 1921. By 1927, most Canadians were free of the prohibition yoke and were well positioned to join in the booming booze business south of the 49th parallel. It took another five years for the Americans to follow suit and in 1932 the criminals went back to more traditional business pursuits such as robbing banks, operating gambling schemes and running for political office. Governments permitted the sale of alcohol again and promptly taxed the living bejeebers out of it. Now the only illegal booze is created by guys with hyphenated first names who operate stills near cricks and hollers. Heck, today there are

businesses where you can brew your own beer – as long as the government gets its cut. So almost 80 years after the end of prohibition – 91 in British Columbia – what have we learned? Not much, as the ongoing crusade against marijuana shows. Our society is once again dealing with the whole prohibition grand slam complete with corrupt officials, smugglers running weed across the border and gun battles in the streets over turf. Last month, police were brought in to close off streets in Vancouver to accommodate the annual April 20 marijuana festival known as 4-20. The fact that so many people are opposed to the law that partaking in the illegal indulgence of marijuana is an unofficial civic holiday shows the war on this particular drug is a waste of time and resources.

Just as the American forces in Vietnam failed to win the hearts and minds of the people of that country, it is doubtful the prohibition of marijuana has much of an ideological foothold among the general population of North America. While older citizens still support the ban, I would humbly suggest the antiweed message is lost on those born in the 1950s or later – and it’s becoming less relevant with each succeeding generation. So using history as our guide, perhaps it’s time to rethink the whole marijuana prohibition. Legalize it and tax the heck out of it. It’s not a perfect solution but it beats swerving to avoid bullet-riddled bodies in the streets. Michael Booth can be reached at mbooth@ thenownewspaper.com

Rotten piles of tomatoes to landlords who don’t allow pets. Pets are part of families. Where do you expect them to live? B.C. needs to make it illegal to deny pet owners a chance and give each renter and pet consideration and ask for a large deposit. Those who refuse pets should make a donation to the SPCA – where such pets end up.

shift by herself in the busy deli because two employees called in sick. Your verbal abuse brought her to tears. Shame on you. She’s only human. May you indulge in rotten deli meat until you realize what you did and apologize.

Roses to Ron from the City of Surrey who rescued my house keys from a storm drain. You made my weekend with how efficient and friendly you were! Fingers crossed that the good luck comes back your way. Twenty-one bundles of red roses to my Grade 3 students at Maple Green Elementary. You are all working hard to learn about what it takes to be good citizens of our city. Celebrate the good deeds you read about in this section and please learn from the mistakes of others. Let’s treat everyone with the respect they deserve. Rotten tomatoes to the mean old woman who threw a pack of sandwich meat at my daughter. My daughter was working in the deli at the Walmart earlier this week and accidentally punched in the wrong code for the meat. She was working a full eight-hour

Rotten tomatoes to my neighbours. I am glad you think I am stupid and have no clue. I will continue to kill you with kindness as I am a better person. A truckload of rotten tomatoes to the road-raging woman who tailgated and hit me in the intersection of 152nd Street and 64th Avenue then screamed at me that I did not know how to drive! Shame on you. You are a coward and need some anger management and driving lessons. You hit me and ran but I got your licence and vehicle make and called 911. You will be caught. Rotten tomatoes to people who go to Surrey Centre Cemetery and use it as a dog park – you are disrespectful and ignorant. If this is you, may you eternally live in a pile of rotten tomatoes. If you know of someone in this area that has a dog (friend or neighbour) please let them know its not OK to use a cemetery as a dog park – on or off leash.

Rotten tomatoes to the planning department at the City of Surrey for bullying the residents across the street from the new shopping centre in Cloverdale. We have just lost our street parking. And we just learned that we are also being forced to change our one-way driveway to a two-way, as they are putting in a meridian down the road that will prevent us from driving in and out of our entrance – something many of us have been doing for 14 years. Hope the children of this safe community will be warned. This is a disaster waiting to happen. But as they say, “money talks.” Rotten tomatoes to teachers who are spying on teachers to see what they are doing on their personal time. Then they report it to their union president to intimidate the teachers with loss of their union status and their jobs. I am old enough to remember when some bad political parties did the same thing in Europe. Do you remember how we fought to protect people’s individual rights? Why do we put up with this anarchy? Roses to people who write roses instead of tomatoes. It’s easy to complain – find something nice to write about.

MPs should study stats

The Editor, Re: “Let’s see what our MPs can do,” the Now, April 26. I read Matthew Claxton’s column with interest and approval. One place I’d like to improve what he said is in his first section. I think in the choice of math subjects, he ought to have eliminated calculus and to have substituted probability and statistics. I’m speaking as someone with a math degree, and as a practising engineer. Even as the latter, my use of calculus is quite limited. But I see the use of probability/ statistics – and worse yet, the misuse of same – every single day in one way or another. Beau Jon Sackett, Surrey

Reclaim precious land at Burns Bog The Editor, Re: “Tough sell as developer faces Burns Bog defenders,” the Now, April 19. If “MK Delta says site of proposed project is not bog land,” as Tim Fitzgerald’s story states, why does their own report submitted to Delta mayor and council describe it as “a remnant peripheral portion of Burns Bog?” It’s part of the eastern, and higher, of the two peat-filled water mounds which comprise Burns Bog, cut off from one another for a while when the Fraser flowed where traffic now does on Highway 91. The water that runs off the slopes of this wonderful bit of wildland pours underneath Highway 91 in culverts and then deep into the ecological reserve, through historic ditches, before flowing northward through the reserve to the

Volkswagen of Surrey SPRING

Fraser River. In my many years of tramping through this beloved and unique portion of Burns Bog, I’ve found it to be well-frequented by bears (for example clawing their way up old cedars to get at honey in their hollows), as well as deer, coyotes, eagles, likely nesting great-horned owls, nesting red-tailed hawks, and a rich assortment of often nesting songbirds. It consists of a diverse, radicallychanging series of north-south running strips of vegetation, each supportive of a different assemblage of plants and animals. Most importantly, this land contains the natural, southerly course of Cougar Creek, to which this tortured, diverted stream happily returns many times a year when it rains hard long enough. It is salmon habitat, which must be fully restored. This land, and all other portions of Burns Bog now held by MK Delta, were awarded to government in an alreadywritten court order, until the lawyer for the provincial Liberal government told the judge the province did not want them, and a lawyer for one of the owners told the judge the presently-excluded lands had no ecological value whatsoever. We must undo this misdeed and reacquire these lands we already held for oh-so-short a time, and lost due to deceit. If those in office will not do so, we must replace them, as we have had to many times already to get what we wanted done in the bog. Don DeMille, Delta

Newton-based dance company

A Disneyland dance adventure

Parading on Main Street a highlight of dancers’ big trip to Cali. theme park Tom Zillich

Now staff twitter@tomzillich

SURREY — Members of a Newton-based dance company were thrilled to parade down Disneyland’s Main Street during a recent trip to Anaheim, California. Twenty-six young members of the Dance Excel company worked for several weeks on the repetitive dance routine with the help of a DVD showing all the moves, to the music of Selena Gomez’s “Shake It Up.” The Dance Excel students, aged seven to 17 and led by instructor Karey Akai, were among 441 performers from 22 companies involved in the Diamond Dance Classic parade and showcase, April 13-15. The non-competitive event is one of several staged throughout the year at Disneyland by Dance the Magic, a company founded and directed by Debi Barr. “We are the only company to be allowed to have our participants dance down Main Street,” said Barr, who launched Dance the Magic in 2002. Barr said she worked for two years with Disney officials before they approved her concept of a parade involving dance companies from around the world. Members of another Surrey-based company, Just For Kicks, were involved in Dance the Magic-staged parades in 2004 and 2007, Barr said. Akai said the recent trip with her Dance Excel students was among the best experiences of her long career in dance. “To see the parents so happy and emotional that their kids got to dance down Main Street, and that the kids enjoyed the experience and this unique, magical opportunity, makes all my hard work worth it,” Akai told the Now. “For sure, I would recommend other dance studios get involved. I think it is a magical experience.”

Fun, fun, fun with ‘The Mikado’ gang in White Rock ArtsScene Melanie Minty Columnist

he Mikado, presented by Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society comes to Coast Capital Playhouse in White Rock from May 9 to 19. This is the 30th year of productions for FVGSS, so you’d think there would be nothing new, especially when the comic light operas (or comic musicals, or operettas) were all written more than 100 years ago in Victorian England. Well, think again. Wicked humour and great music are timeless — and really, the human condition has not changed so very much after all. The biting witty humour of librettist W.S. Gilbert created an absurd world where fairies woo British lords (Iolanthe), lowly gondoliers become royalty (The Gondoliers), and pirates turn out to be noblemen (Pirates of Penzance). Taking the task more seriously, Sir Arthur Sullivan

composed the music. These two conflicting personalities combined to create 14 comic operas between 1871 and 1896. These witty, fun-loving and musically challenging operas, which poke fun at everything political, have enjoyed international success, and the style they developed certainly had an influence on the development of musical theatre today. Good job. So don’t disappear from the ticketbuying line when you see The Mikado listed as an opera, or operetta. These G&S collaborations are amusing and simply fun, fun, fun to watch. And outside of the Stratford Festival (using professional talent), I don’t think you are likely to find any better productions of G&S works than from this society, based right here in Surrey — for 30 years. A dedicated core of G&S aficionados have kept this society afloat for a long time. There has been some stormy weather, lack of funding, not enough volunteers. This is not an uncommon occurrence among community theatre clubs. But thanks to some see › page 20

its spring G&S operetta at Coast Capital Playhouse instead of at Surrey Arts Centre. This should be a good move for the society. For the last several years, the G&S shows have used the arts centre’s studio theatre instead of the mainstage. This was due to theatre costs. So, finally,

Well, there are famous — or about-to-be-famous people in this show. Here’s the story: The ruler of Japan (the Mikado) has a rebellious son who refuses to marry the horrible Katasha. Nanki-Poo, the son, runs off and disguises himself as a minstral. He arrives in the town of Titipu and promptly falls in love with Yum-Yum. Alas, poor Yum-Yum is engaged to Ko-Ko, the lord high executioner. Ko-Ko has directions from the Mikado to carry out daily executions, and to this end Ko-Ko has “a little list” of people “who never would be missed.” What a delightful ditty. The story gets even more complicated before it is finally all happily resolved. When The Mikado was first presented to Victorian audiences, it enjoyed the longest run (672 performances) of any of the Gilbert & Sullivan collaborations, and it has remained one of the most performed and popular pieces of musical theatre in the world. The title role is played by Mark Donnelly, now well known as the national anthem singer for the Canucks. Sean Donnelly (he played “The Beast” in the Christmas panto, Beauty and the Beast, this season at Surrey Arts Centre) plays Nanki-Poo, son of the Mikado. If the last names are not a clue, Mark and Sean are real-life father and son. Adorable. Both of them. Rebekah MacEwan is Yum-Yum. She once played the princess to my queen in Princess and the Pea. See? Famous. Adam Olgui — the next big star in our universe — is Pooh-Bah, Lord High Everything Else. James Walker is KoKo, and Clive Ramroop plays Pish-Tush, a noble Lord. Yes, I have had the pleasure of sharing the stage with all these wonderfully talented people. The show is directed by Dann Wilhelm and choreographed by Carol Seitz. Go see the show. I really think you will enjoy it.

‘No Borders’ group challenge caps 2012 Surrey Festival of Dance Tom Zillich

Now staff twitter@tomzillich

More than 80 dance teams will strut their stuff in the No Borders group dance challenge, on Saturday, May 5 at Surrey Arts Centre. The day-long event is a yearly highlight of Surrey Festival of Dance, which has made the Bear Creek Park venue a busy place since March 24.

re efo12! B l Cal ay 31/ M

The No Borders event is an open competition, with monetary awards to winning groups in each category and level. Later in the evening, these champs dance once again for the title of festival grand champion. More than $13,000 in cash will be awarded; more than $60,000 in scholarships is given out during the run of the festival. As a showcase of some entertaining dance numbers, No Borders is well worth the $5 entry fee (general public is welcome).

The action involves ballet, jazz, stage and other categories of dance. Junior groups get things going at 9 a.m. on Saturday, followed by International, Intermediate and Senior ensembles. The festival’s Honour Awards event starts Saturday at 7:30 p.m., followed at 8 p.m. by the contest for festival grand champion. The 2012 edition of the four-week festival saw close to 8,500 dancers participate, said Carol Girardi, treasurer and longtime festival organizer.

“It went very, very well — we’ve had a lot of positive feedback from those who were involved in the festival,” Girardi told the Now Tuesday. “It sounds like all the kids had a great time, or at least I hope they did!” For festival info, call 604-585-3320 or visit surreyfestival.com. In its 46th year, Surrey Festival of Dance is one of the largest amateur dance competitions in North America.

When the Now caught up with Michael Jerome Browne on Monday, he was on the phone from Osoyoos after driving from Nelson on his own. On stage, the Montreal-based multiinstrumentalist prefers the spotlight to himself. “For 12 years or more, it’s been solo touring for me,” he said. “Touring with a band isn’t always economically feasible and, to tell the truth, going solo is sometimes better in terms of performance. I can do a lot of things up there (on stage). It’s freeing.” After doing a round of “house” concerts as part of the cool Home Routes series in B.C. and Alberta, Browne is making his way here to play the Rhumba Room bar Saturday night, May 5. The concert is another hosted by White Rock Blues Society, whose Rod Dranfield witnessed Browne perform a couple of years ago at the International Blues Challenge event in Memphis, Tennessee. Dranfield was impressed enough to book the Montrealer to perform at the society’s gig HQ in South Surrey. Tickets are $20 in advance via 604-5015566, or $25 at the door (call 604-542-6515 for more info about the show, which has Surrey’s David “Boxcar” Gates opening). Browne’s latest album, The Road is Dark, is

more blues-oriented than his previous three CDs, although he’s no stranger to the blues — he’s just more fond of the term “roots” to describe his music. For a dozen years, Browne played guitar in the Montreal electric-blues Stephen Barry Band, still going strong without him. Browne went solo in the late-1990s with music infused with Cajun, country-soul, blues and folk sounds, and several awards followed. Musically influenced by his parents, both English professors who moved to Quebec from South Bend, Indiana, Browne began playing music at the age of nine, on harmonica. The guitar was next, a few years later, followed by banjo, fiddle and other instruments that are either picked, plucked, strummed or played with a bow. He played coffee houses to start; later, he busked for a lot of years, and it helped pay the bills. Today, he’s considered one of Montreal’s most important roots musicians, and a heck of a player on whatever he chooses to play. On tour this time around, Browne brought along two guitars (including a 12-string), a banjo, fiddle and harmonica. Some of his set in South Surrey will be done semi-electric. “The guitar is what I’m most comfortable with,” he revealed,“but I go through phases of wanting to play the banjo a lot.” Visit Browne online at www. michaeljeromebrowne.com.

YOAKAM AT ROCKIN’ RIVER FEST

Congrats to Surrey-based Shadows for placing second in the annual BC’s Best Teen Band Contest, the finals of which were held Saturday, April 28 at the Electric Owl in Vancouver. Top spot in the contest went to Kate Kurdyak, an indie-folk artist from Vancouver, who took home $10,000 in prizes. Shadows and third-place finisher Derrival, a rock band from Langley, each won $750 for artist development, gift certificates from Long & McQuade music store and student memberships with Music BC. Shadows plays alt-indie rock with some grunge/punk aggression. “It was really awesome,” the band’s lead guitarist, Dianne Ocampo, said of the contest, launched last October by the people behind the fab Youthink magazine. “All the bands were really nice and the event was really well put together.” For photos and other info from Saturday’s event, check www.youthink.ca.

MAY IS CNIB VISION HEALTH MONTH

Seeing beyond vision loss

CNIB helps teen succeed with vision loss

Jeremy was born with bilateral corneal opacities, an eye condition that left him blind in his left eye and partially sighted in his right. Upon his diagnosis Jeremy’s family was referred to CNIB (the Canadian National Institute for the Blind), a charity that provides support to Canadians who are blind or partially sighted. When Jeremy was young, CNIB taught him how to read Braille and to use a white cane to walk around safely by himself - and he continues to receive these orientation lessons once a week. Jeremy also attends CNIB’s summer camp and says that he can’t wait for it each year. CNIB camps give children and youth with vision loss the opportunity to learn new skills and try new activities in a safe and accessible environment.

sources, and CNIB relies on charitable donations to provide services at no cost to people who are blind or partially sighted.

A bold adventurer at heart, Jeremy says that one of his favourite activities last year at camp was the high-ropes course – a web of platforms and ropes that campers navigate from above ground.

To make a donation or learn more about how you can support CNIB British Columbia programs and services, visit www.cnib.ca or call our toll-free CNIB Helpline at 1-800-563-2642.

wee

Jeremy Ferrer faces the same big decisions most teens do in their ﬁnal year of high school. But the Surrey teen also faces challenges many of his peers will never understand – because like thousands of others scattered across BC, Jeremy is blind.

“It makes me feel like I’m not the only one with vision loss,” he explains. “There’s other kids with vision loss too.”

BY TAMARA TEDESCO

During Vision Health Month, CNIB is challenging British Columbians to take care of their eyes so that we can eliminate avoidable sight loss.

Protect your eyes from the Sun

Jeremy also explains that, using his sense of touch and direction from camp counsellors, he was able to kayak, rock climb and even ride a horse.

Exposure to sunlight is associated with a higher risk of developing eye disease, which can cause vision loss. Wear sunglasses that block 99% of UVA and UVB rays.

In order to stay active throughout the year between camps, Jeremy attends CNIB’s monthly youth group for kids who are blind or partially sighted. Jeremy’s mom, Gloria, says that these social activities have boosted Jeremy’s conﬁdence and independence more than she could have ever imagined.

P R O U D LY S U P P O R T E D B Y :

“I am very grateful towards CNIB,” she says. “They have taught our family that if sighted people can do something, so can Jeremy.” In British Columbia, less than 10 percent funding comes from provincial government

Make Your Home Safe for Independent Living Are you a low-income senior or a person with a disability who wants to live safely and independently in the comfort of your home? Do you have difficulty performing day-to-day activities? Does your home need to be adapted to meet your changing needs? If so, you may be eligible for financial assistance under the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program. Find out today if you are eligible and if you meet all of the requirements as a low-income homeowner or as a landlord applying on behalf of an eligible tenant.

To apply or learn more, visit www.bchousing.org/HAFI You can also contact BC Housing: Phone: 604-646-7055 Toll-free: 1-800-407-7757 (ext. 7055)

New program helps seniors, people with disabilities modify homes

Would a new ramp, handrails or walk-in shower help you maintain your independence at home? BC Housing’s new Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program helps low-income B.C. seniors and people with disabilities make home modifications that will allow them to continue living at home. Through HAFI, homeowners and landlords with eligible tenants can apply for financial assistance of up to $20,000 for improvements that make their home more accessible and safe. The goal of the program is to enable people who have physical limitations to live at home longer. People’s physical needs change over time – sometimes, a small improvement to a home can make the difference between being able to live independently or not. Types of eligible projects include: 1 A=95!=G?J G9 I=??B='J &! JH=G!B='J0 1 E=<%J "&! $=J$ &" =77$JJ0 1 .=J'/H&/!$=7I B&!C &! JH&!=K$ =!$=J in the kitchen, 1 6$D$!

Someone in the household must have a permanent disability or loss of ability that makes it difficult to perform day-to-day activities. As well, the total household income and assets must be below a certain limit. BC Housing can tell you the income and house value limits for your area when you apply. The program is open to both homeowners and those living in market rental accommodation where rents are at the low end of market levels; landlords must apply for improvements on behalf of eligible tenants. .?GKG:G?GH' !$#FG!$<$9HJ0 =9 =%%?G7=HG&9 guide and application forms are available at www.bchousing.org/HAFI.

Ghostly thrills while hanging around in Goldfield Kelley Scarsbrook Columnist

Columnist Kelley Scarsbrook is on a mission to fulfill 40 goals before her 40th birthday in 2012. Here’s the story of her latest adventure:

ne of the most dynamic spots I visited during my “40 Under 40” trip to the spectacular Grand Canyon was Mesa, the third largest city in Arizona. Mesa boasts interesting historical museums, the extraordinary Sonoran Desert, and the most incredible ghost town I’ve ever experienced. Goldfield was once a bustling goldmining town. In the 1890s, it had several saloons, a general store, a blacksmith shop, school house, etc. However, when the mining died out, so did the town. Main Street in Goldfield Ghost Town now showcases what the “Wild West” looked and felt like back then. When we arrived, the kids made a bee-

Columnist Kelley Scarsbrook is “hanged” in Goldfield Ghost Town, in Mesa, Arizona. Mountains surrounding us, in the sunshine. Goldfield Livery stables provides horseback adventures for even the most novice rider. It truly is one of those memorable experiences we won’t soon forget. Goldfield Ghost Town also showcases fun places like the Mystery Shack, where gravity is defied by people walking at 45degree angles and water runs from faucets not connected. There is also a historical

There is even a place where you can try your hand at panning for gold. A true adventure in itself, Goldfield Ghost Town offers fun for the entire family.

line for the jail, which had real bars and nooses out front for public hangings back in the day. One of the sheriffs escorted my son and I up to the platform for a “hanging.” A noose was placed around our necks, and we stood atop trap doors. A bargaining for our heads was discussed, and finally we had to face our fate — smiling for the cameras before heading back down. There were many real cowboys (and gals) who made the experience entertaining for the kids. We even watched a gun fight take place in the street. A diesel train surrounds the town (the only narrow-gauge railroad in Arizona), providing tourists a historical look at the town from a different vantage point. Later in the day, we took an underground tour that explained the history of the gold mine, the people and life of the town of more than 100 years ago. However, the most fun was had was on the Apache Trail, riding horses through the Sonoran Desert. Our hosts, TJ and Dan, shared insights about the desert’s wonders and wildlife, and what it’s like to live in the desert. The kids enjoyed riding the horses, and I enjoyed taking in the Superstition

ARTS & LIFE At the movies

Big heart, humour and hulking profits to be banked Julie Crawford Columnist

The Avengers Directed by Joss Whedon. Starring Robert Downey Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner and Chris Hemsworth. My rating: 9 (out of 10)

hen announced, The Avengers struck some critics as a blatant cash grab: a movie featuring The Hulk, Black Widow, Iron Man, Thor and Hawkeye (whoever he was)? You might as well throw Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock and Reese Witherspoon on the same soundstage for a “Legally Blonde Pretty Woman Walks on the Blind Side” romantic comedy. But by the hammer of Thor, critics couldn’t have been more wrong! Yes, The Avengers promises to make a

SHIELD director Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) is trying to bring the world’s best brawn and brains together to form a heroic alliance.“You’re going to leave the fate of the human race in a handful of freaks?” Some heroes are easier to recruit than others. After taking down a warehouse full of baddies — while tied to a chair, no less – Natasha Romanoff/ Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) is in. But Scarlett Johansson gamma-ray expert David Banner (Mark Ruffalo) is reluctant to come on board, in case his big, green alter ego should rear his ugly head. Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is back, talking funny. Black Widow hints that she has a special interest in saving Clint Barton/ Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner, seen briefly in Thor) from Loki’s grip. Steve Rogers/ Captain America (Chris Evans) is the moral compass for the group, his gung-ho patriotism a source of amusement for Tony

Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.). Iron Man is the wisenheimer of the motley alliance, cocksure and ready with a putdown for each one of his super-buddies. Downey Jr.’s dry-as-dust delivery elicits big laughs, but the jokes are judiciously applied, lest the ensemble concept turn into a one-man show. With all that super-hotness aboard one aircraft, egos clash, resulting in some dream scenarios for fanboys: who would win in a fight, Thor or Iron Man? How about Thor or The Hulk? The Hulk or Black Widow? There’s the requisite rah-rah moment as our crew suits up for a full-scale ET invasion, complete with creepy beasts on flying alien jet-skis and an airborne space shark/insect thing whose tail does quite a number on the infrastructure of a major city. There are some dizzying and impressive perspectives during the city battle, as shots swoop and take corners, making the viewer feel as though he’s along for the ride. Effects are varied and seamless, and the action rarely lags. This is as good as a superhero movie can get.

hulk-load of money. But there’s a decent film in there, too — one with a big heart and a great sense of humour at its core. If you are one of the few people under retirement age who has not seen Iron Man, Thor and Captain America, find someone who can get you up to speed, fast. While some of the prequels leading up to this superhero love-in were less thrilling than others, they are essential viewing if you want to fully appreciate the film’s narrative. Case in point: we begin where Thor left off, with petulant half-brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) determined to head an alien army hell-bent on enslaving Earth. Loki has found a doorway through space, and after making a grand entrance, proceeds to assemble his own personal army. He’s after the tesseract, a raw energy source that can move mountains, literally. After Loki takes off with the glowing blue cube, it leaves a black hole effect behind, sucking a massive research facility and much of the surrounding desert into the centre of the earth, in an orgy of sound. And that’s all before the opening credits.

REAL ESTATE Home trends

‘Kitchen lounges,’ less space and eco-features

Research suggests the dining room is becoming extinct, with larger, kitchen/ entertaining spaces the norm. heating/cooling systems and even blinds will be hooked up to a master control system. • Thanks to an increasing number of

people working from home, the presence of a dedicated home office is a given in newer homes. Nearly 40 per cent of industry forecasters say that they expect one in every home. • Home storage solutions will also be a vital component of new homes. Builders will create clever solutions for mixing storage into more compact spaces. • With aging Baby Boomers comprising a larger segment of home buyers, expect to see more one-level homes, or at least homes where there is a master suite and the majority of the living space on the first level. Part of what is driving this trend is the cost of homes in relation to space and the increased interest in environmental conservation. Smaller, more efficient homes require less in terms of heating and cooling energy. They need less furniture, and new materials made from sustainable products help further fuel green initiatives in the building industry. Energy efficient homes are a main priority for buyers. Although the homes may be smaller, they will not be minuscule. And home buyers can expect a host of amenities that will make the smaller size of homes barely perceptible.

may come at the compromise of a smaller, better planned home. Tim Bailey, of Avid Canada, a research and consulting firm for the building industry, says this: “While many consumers are willing to forgo space, they are not equating this with having to forfeit functionality. Design creativity is requisite to adapt to this changing preference.” Here are some things that you will find, and will not, in newer homes: • The dining room is becoming extinct, with larger, kitchen/entertaining spaces the norm. The kitchen will be the main room of the home and be renamed the “kitchen lounge.” • Separate rooms are evolving into spaces that serve many different purposes. • Although the sizes of bathrooms may be scaled back, the amenities will not. Spastyle bathrooms with luxurious products, high-tech features and televisions will be on the rise. • The master bedroom suite may not shrink in size, but it could be combined to form a home office and exercise space. • Expect to see more high-tech offerings, such as voice- or motion-activation devices in the home.

From the early 1990s to the beginning of this century, “bigger is better” certainly was the mantra of the homebuilding industry. All across North America buyers could browse among home developments boasting homes of 3,000 square feet or larger and multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. But according to new data, home buyers are seeking less space today but more in green amenities. Research by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association has found that many people now desire smaller homes with multipurpose rooms and energy-saving features. They’re not ready to trade in their twoand three-car garages just yet, though. Plus, a survey of International Furnishings and Design Association members forecasts that “McMansions” will become a thing of the past and more emphasis will be placed on smaller, more eco-friendly homes. Family rooms and kitchens will grow larger. Other rooms will disappear, including the living room. Many homeowners and potential home buyers realize that with girth comes a cost. In today’s fragile economy, the ability to cash in on the dream of home-ownership

FAIRWAY LIVING HOLDS UNDENIABLE APPEAL By Janine Mackie

antage isn’t just a place to live. It’s an experience. Who can deny the luxury of a manicured fairway beyond your backyard, picturesque water features and the enticement of walking to the clubhouse for dinner?

“Everyone who has the opportunity to buy at Vantage feels like they’ve been given a winning lottery ticket,” says an enthusiastic sales representative Colleen Ferguson. “Where else can you sell out 70% of the community just on the location and value without a showhome!” Overlooking the scenic “Willows Nine” at the Surrey Golf Course, Vantage includes 17 single-family homes and a beautiful collection of course-side townhomes. With its newest release of three-bedroom townhomes, buyers have the choice of homes ranging in size from 1525 to 1767 square feet and priced from just $345,900 including HST. Emptynesters and downsizers looking for their “forever home,” are especially excited about the opportunity to purchase one of the new 1,816 square foot twobedroom plus loft townhomes featuring the master bedroom on the main !oor and a second-level loft. These will be completed in the fall and are priced from $509,900.

“Downsizers like to down-size, not down-grade, and this is a community that has a higher-end feel to it,” says Ferguson. “Vesta builds quality homes, offers custom features, and this location can’t be beat!”

TREE-LINED TRAILS CONNECT NEIGHBOURHOOD TO COURSE This diligent approach to building new communities has earned Vesta Properties several prestigious industry awards, as well as a loyal following of buyers who equate value with great quality and pristine locations. Appreciating that new homebuyers love to “touch and feel” the "nishes of their new home, this weekend Vantage will of"cially unveil its newest showhome # the A1 plan with double garage, walk-out basement, spacious main !oor with cosy family room with deck off

Homebuyers can personalize their home from the choice of colour schemes, as well as select upgrades from the options list. A walk through the new show home and you’re sure to agree there’s little you’d want to change. Quality craftsmanship shows in the choice of luxurious granite countertops, maple cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and hand-set tile !oors in the bathrooms. The classic West Coast craftsman architecture integrates seamlessly into the spectacular setting with the use of wood trim, cultured stone accents and durable hardi-board siding. Even those who work in Vancouver are impressed by the lifestyle they can have at Vantage. A bus line is within walking distance of home and takes commuters directly to the skytrain. After the harried pace of the city, it’s pretty sweet to return to the unhurried lifestyle of course-side living. Experience the difference at Vantage. New show home hours are Saturday through Wednesday, 1 to 5pm (closed Thursdays and Fridays) at Unit 8 7848 - 170th Street in Surrey. Visit VantageLiving.ca or call 604.579.0247 for more information.

The Summit House at Morgan Crossing It’s a sunny Saturday at Morgan Crossing. Friends sip lattés outside Mink Chocolate Café, people carrying fresh !owers and veggies emerge from Thrifty Foods, and Pure Nail Bar is clearly a favourite place to pretty up toes for beach season. All in all, it’s just a regular day in this dynamic South Surrey neighbourhood. Named BC’s Best Multi-Family Low Rise Development at this year’s prestigious Georgie Awards, Morgan Crossing has long been known for its unique character and energy.

Residents are a diverse, eclectic group ranging from a 19-year-old "rst time buyer to a dynamic 92-year-old grandmother, and almost every merchant has a water bowl outside the door for four-footed family members. “It’s all about creating a lifestyle focused on three key traits — spontaneity, community, and sustainability,” says Bryan Woolley, sales director. “People of all ages tell us they have more free time and develop more friends since they moved here, because just popping out for

a coffee or to go grocery shopping is a chance to make a social connection, to chat with neighbours and friends.” And today, Bryan’s got even more exciting news. “Morgan Crossing’s final building, Summit House, is now selling — to the delight of folks who’ve been waiting for the chance to move into these spectacular homes.” Extra bene"ts include

spectacular views of the North Shore Mountains, Mount Baker, or the residents only, one-acre gardens on the fourth !oor podium as well as upgraded kitchens, two parking stalls, and a quiet location tucked away in the most private corner of Morgan Crossing. “And when you want to work out, just step out the lobby door, turn left, and walk in the front door of Steve Nash Sports Club.” The Summit House/Morgan Crossing presentation centre is open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 103 – 15775 Croydon Dr. (right next to Thrifty Foods in the Village) in South Surrey. Two-bedroom condominiums start at $256,900 for move-in ready homes. For more information call 604.582.1336 or visit www.morgancrossing.ca.

More than 500 “first in line” certificates were handed out Saturday during the opening of the Wave condo development sales centre, causing a flood of people at 10375 133rd St. in downtown Surrey. Those at the event included Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts, retired Vancouver Canucks goalie Kirk McLean and the cast of “LiveatWave,” an online “reality” show involving actors who lived behind a glass-walled suite at Central City Shopping Centre for six weeks. Construction of the first Wave tower will begin in October, with sales launched later this month; a second Wave high-rise building will be built at a later date by the developers, Rize Alliance and Mason Link Development. A total of 500 units are part of the two-tower project, with suites ranging in size from 522 to 1,800 square feet. More information about the project is online at www.waveliving.ca.

Tritons crown Royals after Pirates steal two Michael Booth

Now staff twitter@surreynowsports

As weekend getaways on Vancouver Island go, the White Rock Tritons enjoyed their visit to Parksville much better than a stay in Nanaimo. The Tritons dropped a pair of extra-inning heartbreakers — 6-5 and 8-7 — to the front running Nanaimo Pirates Saturday before

salvaging the weekend with a sweep of a Sunday doubleheader — 4-1 and 7-5 — against the host Parksville Royals in B.C. Premier Baseball League action. The results leveled the Tritons’ record over the past 10 games to 5-5 and allowed White Rock to flirt with a .500 record overall (57) in the early stages of the BCPBL season. “The Pirates are a really good team,” said Tritons coach Russ

Smithson. “They hit the ball well and it’s hard to get the runners out. We played really well against them but we lost both games in extra innings, which kind of hurts. We were missing a couple of pitchers last weekend, but the guys battled through it and gave us a chance to win every game. “It was tough to lose the two games in Nanaimo but to come back and sweep the two games was great to see. The scores were

probably a lot closer than the games felt at the time but we’ll take it. We got leads early in both games but Parksville is a scrappy team and they battled back. They sure didn’t make it easy for us.” The most important performances of the weekend came from pitchers Max Koltai and Adam Shumka in Parksville Sunday. White Rock’s arm shortage left the Tritons with just those two hurlers and a junior

call-up to close out the road trip against the Royals and the duo came through in stellar fashion. Koltai worked six innings to earn the win in Game 1 while Shumka went the distance in the nightcap to solve Smithson’s pitching dilemma. The Tritons are on the road again this week with doubleheaders in North Shore Saturday and Victoria Sunday. see BLUE JAYS › page 55

The Bayside Sharks will be chasing a pair of championships in playoff rugby action at North Vancouver’s Klahanie Park Saturday. Thanks to a first-place showing in league play, the Sharks will take on the Vancouver Rowing Club for the Okanagan Springs Tier 2 First Division championship. The second-place Rowers advanced to the title game with a semifinal win over Seattle last weekend. Meanwhile, the baby Sharks will be looking to win some silverware of their own as Bayside’s second division side faces the Rowers in that division’s title game. “This is the last thing to check off on the list of goals we set for ourselves in January,” said Bayside coach Pat Kearney. “We finished in first place in the league and we qualified for the premier league and now we’re going trophy hunting. We have the opportunity to win both the first and second division titles and that’s a big thing for our club. We’ll have two full squads this week and we want to bring two titles back from North Van.”

In the main event for first division clubs, Bayside will be looking to win the rubber match after the Sharks and the Rowers split a pair of league games this season. Both teams won on the other club’s home field but Kearney believes Bayside has momentum on its side. “We split our games with Rowers this year but what’s good for us is we probably played our best game of rugby all year when we beat them by 24 points at their park,” he said. “We want to go out against them this week and build on that with another full, cohesive game of rugby. We don’t want to leave anything to chance or to the refs or to the Rowers and the way to do that is to dictate and control all aspects of the game. We’re going to go full throttle for the whole 80 minutes and end the season on a good note.” Bayside’s second division entry earned a shot at the playoff title when they squeaked past Richmond16-15 at South Surrey Athletic Park last Saturday. Prop Josh Areai scored the lone Bayside try while Graham Rogers used his foot to round out the scoring with three penalties and a conversion.

striking out five. North Delta hosts Parksville for a Sunday doubleheader at Mackie Park beginning at 11 a.m. The Whalley Chiefs’ struggles continued last weekend as the North Surrey club extended their losing streak to nine games with three more setbacks. Whalley was in Coquitlam Saturday where the host Reds stole a pair of games 4-3 and 1-0. The Chiefs’ luck did not improve with a return home Sunday as they fell 4-0 to the Vancouver Cannons at Whalley Ballpark. “Pitching is what’s keeping us in games right now,” said Chiefs’ coach Bryon Kennedy. “Our pitching is what we’re living off but we’re just not getting the timely hits or scoring the runs we need. We haven’t been able to close out the one-run games this year. We’ve had the lead late in games but we still have to learn how to hold on and get the win.” The Chiefs hit the road again this weekend when they venture into Calgary for a tournament.

‹ from page 51 Elsewhere, the North Delta Blue Jays played well but only had one win to show for their efforts in a pair of twin bills in Kelowna against the much-improved Okanagan A’s. The host A’s swept the first two games of the set Saturday with wins of 7-6 and 4-3. Sunday brought more of the same as Okanagan came from behind to win 4-3 in nine innings in the first game. The Jays then pushed back in Game 2 and blanked the A’s 4-0 to salvage the road trip. “I know we lost three of four games but it’s not as bad as it looks,” said Blue Jays coach Gerry White. “We were in every game and were ahead in all of them until the sixth or seventh innings. “I was happy with our guys’ compete level because they battled hard through the whole thing. They didn’t get down even though we lost some tough games and the guys came through in the last game, which was good to see.” Sodai Hoshi pitched all seven innings in Sunday’s win, allowing three hits while

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Continue to chase money, seek more work at better pay, cultivate new clients, buy and sell. You have treated others with ambition (or caution) more than love, these past two years. You’ve wanted a “working partnership.” This will change in October, when more normally affectionate links return. Until then, you can improve relations by communicating – and by travelling to visit the other. But remember, in communicating, focus on ideas, not “facts.” Wisdom, gentle love and travel prospects arise Monday/Tuesday. Be ambitious midweek. Happiness, friends, flirtations Friday onward. Taurus April 20-May 20: Your energy, charisma, effectiveness and clout remain high. Don’t waste this time – get out, apply for a job, impress the boss, ask favours, start important projects. Think: what, realistically, would most improve your life? Set this as a goal, and begin the steps toward it. Sunday’s for relationships. Delve deep Monday/Tuesday: secrets, large finances, intimacy, lifestyle commitments and sexual desires all hold benefits. Wisdom, love, intellectual, travel and broadcasting themes bless you midweek – but they run into opposition Thursday noon. Be ambitious Friday/Saturday. Gemini May 21-June 20: Lie low, rest and recuperate. June will begin one of the luckiest, most expansive years of your life, so get your beauty sleep now, physically and emotionally. Home continues to be a bit friction-prone. You remain attractive to others. Tackle routine chores (nothing new) Sunday. This night and Monday/Tuesday feature relationships – be diplomatic, co-operate. Midweek brings depths, mysteries, and potential profit. Subconscious desires rise to the surface. But after 9 a.m. Thursday (PDT) fortify against problems, rather than expand. A gentle, mellow mood sweetens Friday/Saturday.

HEALTH

THE

Cancer June 21-July 22: News – of a friendship, perhaps a light romance prospect – arrives over the next few weeks. But it might arrive too late for you to do anything about it. Be inquisitive, contact those you haven’t seen for awhile, etc. This is a month of popularity, social delights, flirtations and entertainment – visit, invite, join or create a party. Sunday’s romantic: enjoy the beauty of nature. Tackle chores Monday/Tuesday (start no tasks Sunday night). Relationships, exciting meetings and opposition might both come midweek. Be diplomatic: love is possible. Intimacy, finances Friday/Saturday. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Until early July, money will come: bank it; only buy essentials. In the weeks ahead (through June) a former friend or “lite lover” might return. Spend Sunday at home or in nature. Romance, a creative surge, speculation, joys with children fill Monday/Tuesday. Tackle chores Wednesday/Thursday. Relationships, exciting meetings, perhaps a challenge, arrive Friday/Saturday. Be diplomatic – realize partners or competitors have more sway than you do, right now, over the “big people.” For this entire week, be ambitious, forward your career, seek to impress bosses or launch strong projects. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Bosses, parents still favour you, although they’ll be indecisive through late June, leaving you wondering which way they want you to go. But the “favour” lasts right into early August, so you’ll have sufficient time to firm things up. In fact, despite the slowness and dead-ends of your career over the last year, these bosses are considering you for a promotion. It likely won’t come through until September onward, so be on your good behaviour. (Best isn’t attainable right now, you’re too intense.) All week, welcome love, legal, travel openings. Your sexuality radiates midweek.

Celebrate the lives of loved ones with your stories, photographs & tributes on remembering.ca

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Though legal matters might have bugged you over the past 14 months, a kind of healing entered in April, and continues into August. At the very least, you feel less traumatized; perhaps you’ve started to forgive your “enemy.” By September onward, you might even begin winning the suit. (Chances switch from 80 per cent against you, to 80 for you.) Talk comes, about sex, intimacy, or ﬁnancial situations. You might seize a major success, in money or intimacy, by May 11 to 14. Sunday’s shopping yields empty results. Forgo it. Travel, talk Monday/Tuesday. Home, midweek. Romance, Friday on. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Exciting relationships and exciting opportunities – welcome these wherever they appear. Someone you know might hold a “gold key” for you.You’re energetic,charming Sunday,but don’t tackle new things. Money, earnings, purchases, possessions – and a sensual urge – ﬁll Monday/Tuesday. Chase what you want! Travel, communications, errands and paperwork arise Tuesday night to Thursday. Don’t invest, these few days. Home, children, property, security and retirement come into focus Friday/ Saturday. Someone who talks more than usual, wants something with (not from) you. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Bosses are shorttempered, but peers are sweet and affectionate. Be careful – don’t get involved with the boss, nor mix sex and power. (If you ever act unethically in a career, you’ll likely abandon that career sooner than later.) This is a good week to tackle big chores, and to buy machinery (Monday to Wednesday, and Saturday evening). Lie low, rest Sunday. Your energy and charisma return this night to Tuesday. Start things Monday. Chase money, spend and “recount possessions” Wednesday/Thursday. DON’T invest. Friends, short trips, communications grow lively Friday/Saturday.

May 6 - 12, 2012 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: A trend of romance, creativity, speculation, art, beauty, charming kids, still ﬁlls your days. Of course, romance will only come in as far and wide as your expectation or hope. Resentment or despair can defeat the best of prospects. Coworkers are affectionate. Still, wait until September onward to make a bid for a workplace “appointment” (e.g., union designation or promotion). Be optimistic, social Sunday. Retreat this eve for contemplation and rest – to Tuesday eve. Then, you’ll emerge strong, vibrant and ready to start things Wednesday/Thursday – do! Money, late week. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Take power naps. You’re in “hibernation mode” these weeks. You could be building to a lucky climax in real estate, home, family, security, retirement, agriculture, gardening and similar zones. Remember, this luck only lasts to early June, so if you want/need a better home, get out and look for it a.s.a.p. An opportunity virtually confronts you this week (it reaches peak intensity May 13). Cool your jets Sunday: results are elusive. Your optimism, popularity and social joys grow Monday/Tuesday. Retreat, rest, study and think midweek. Your energy, charisma return Friday/Saturday. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: This is a busy but not important time. Messages surround you, you run repeated errands. Two areas are important: relationships, which remain more intense until early July) and family/real estate,which have begun to please you but might still hold a “trap” until late August. Take advantage of relationships (form money partnerships) now forward, but hold off on major home/realty action until September onward. Sunday’s mellow. Be ambitious Tuesday/Wednesday. Wishes come true, popularity soars, Wednesday/Thursday. Retreat, rest and plan late week. Soon, good career news. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 604-727-3673

For the most part, the automotive world is about evolution, not revolution. We keep finding new ways to do things, but even with the Ford Model T – which made mass-production a reality – the question was: “how can we do things better?” That’s evolutionary thinking. Revolutionary thinking, in contrast, asks, “how can we do things differently?” And if it’s about being different, the 2012 Fisker Karma may be the closest thing to a revolution we’ve seen in years. On the surface, the Karma doesn’t stand too far apart from its rivals. It’s a super-luxury sedan with four wheels, four seats, a steering wheel, and a US $102,000 price tag, putting it in line with cars such as the Maserati Quattroporte, Mercedes-Benz CLSClass and Porsche Panamera. It’s just as fast and good-looking as the others, and while it does boast a cutting-edge, extended-range electric drivetrain, the Karma is arguably no more fuel-efficient than a similarly priced Panamera S Hybrid. Ask which of these vehicles is “better” or “best,” and you’ve got a debate on your hands. But ask which one is unique, and the answer is undoubtedly the Karma. Unlike traditional automakers, Fisker sees itself as a technology company. And unlike most gas-electric vehicles, the Karma doesn’t feel like a compromise. Some might question the point is of being different if you’re not better, and there’s validity to that line of thought. While the Blackberry and the original iPhone changed the way we saw mobile communications, the Segway didn’t have the same impact on personal transportation. Staying within the automotive world, the Pontiac Aztec was pitched as “different” – and look how that turned out. The key, then, isn’t just to be different, but to also make emotional impact. The Blackberry made sense for business people, and the iPhone made sense for consumers. In contrast, the Segway didn’t make sense see KARMA › page 65

made sense for business people, and the iPhone made sense for consumers. In contrast, the Segway didn’t make sense for most people’s wallets and many cities’ bylaws, while the Aztec was just a bad idea from the start. As for the Karma? We’ve established that it’s unique, different and in the category of expensive, high-tech, super-luxury sedans, it really does make emotional impact. It is stunning to look at, whisper quiet and extremely fun to drive. It turns heads wherever it goes, and as a status symbol it’s on the top rung. More importantly, the Karma demonstrates what we’re capable of achieving. While its competitors are trying to leave the past behind, Fisker has shown us that the future is here. And that’s why different, in this case, makes a whole lot of sense. Is the revolution here? I think so. The Karma may just be the most beautiful four-door sports car ever to exist, and photos simply don’t do it justice. It looks impossibly long

and low, like something right out of a video game, or a pie-in-thesky concept car that went right from the auto show to the street. It’s tough to pick out one detail that “makes” the car, but the amazing profile created by the flared fenders and pinched waist go a long way toward the Karma’s stunning looks. You can see the passion in the design. Inside, the Karma retains the conceptcar feel with a giant touchscreen dashboard and LCD gauges, a machined cupholders, a push-button shifter, and seats designed to look like extensions of the console. Designed in California and built in Finland by Valmet Automotive, a manufacturer with a great reputation, the Fisker’s exceptional build quality is highlighted by the thick, saddle-stitch seams on the all-leather dashboard.
