New Year celebrations

Surrey rings in 2013 in ‘rowdy’ way Police cruiser crash among incidents on one of the year’s busiest nights for local RCMP

Now staff Twitter @tomzytaruk

Surrey Mounties responded to more than 400 calls for help during a particularly busy New Year’s Eve shift. That’s more than one

call every two minutes, all night long. “We had a lot of disputes to attend – people celebrating in a rowdy fashion,” Cpl. Bert Paquet said. “It was one of the busiest nights of the year.” A Surrey RCMP constable was badly injured responding to one of those calls.

He crashed his patrol car into a lamppost at 144th Street and 72nd Avenue in Newton shortly after midnight Tuesday while responding, with lights and siren on, to a call about a large fight involving weapons. see › page 5

Briefly

Woman stabbed A North Delta man has been charged with attempted murder and two counts of aggravated assault after a woman was stabbed during a domestic fight in the 9400-block of 116th Street last Friday night. Delta Police have not released the name of the accused or his alleged victim. Acting Sgt. Lisa Coupar said the woman is recovering and her condition is considered stable. Police used a Taser to subdue the suspect at the scene while an ambulance rushed the woman to hospital.

The 43rd annual Polar Bear Swim in White Rock drew hundreds of participants Tuesday afternoon, and even more onlookers. The beautiful weather, coupled with the not-too-cold temperature, made this year’s swim one of the best in recent memory, according to White SEE MORE PHOTOS ONLINE, WWW.THENOWNEWSPAPER.COM

Rock Lions Club president Ed Alps, an organizer of the event. “The weather was just awesome, it was beautiful and it was just great,” he said. Alps said around 400 people registered for the event, but there were more who went in the water on their own accord, making it difficult to pinpoint the number of participants. “We can’t estimate the number that went in,” he said. “There were over 400 that signed up but it could be twice that

(who) actually went in.” Alps also noted it was the first swim that didn’t involve Don Miller, the longtime event organizer and Lions Club member. Miller died in September. “We missed Don Miller – he passed away in September and he did this for over 40 years,” said Alps. “However, his family was there too, so they were still carrying on his tradition.”

A Cloverdale man was murdered on New Year’s Eve, in Langley. Homicide investigators aren’t revealing how Cole Adam Manning, 40, died, or what they think the motive was. The Langley RCMP found his body in a basement suite rented by the 24-year-old suspect, Jason Terrence Brewer, in the 19800-block of 69th Avenue, at about 7:30 a.m. Police aren’t revealing who made the call. Brewer was arrested less than two hours later in Aldergrove, on 264th Street just south of Highway 1. Brewer has been charged with seconddegree murder. “The victim and suspect are believed to be friends,” said Sgt. Jennifer Pound, spokeswoman for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. “Investigators continue to explore the motive for this homicide. At this point we can say this is not gang related.”

SkyTrain seats slashed A 63-year-old Surrey man who was employed as a contract maintenance worker for SkyTrain is accused of slashing 480 SkyTrain seats. Terald Nicholas Gorecki has been charged with mischief over $5,000 and is expected to appear in court in February. Transit Police spokeswoman Anne Drennan said the damage to the seats, cut with a box cutter between August and November, is estimated to be more than $45,000. “The investigation required members of the Transit Police Crime Reduction Unit to review hundreds of hours of video tape,” Drennan said.

The Cloverdale Curling Club is hosting the BC Scotties again, from Jan. 14 to 20. Manager Judy MacKinnon said the club is looking forward to welcoming the return of the curlers, fans and sponsors. “We have a great facility and we have excellent ice,” she said. “I think hosting the event in 2011 put the Cloverdale Curling Club on the curling fan and curler map, so we’re happy to have the Scotties return.” Super skip Kelly Scott, who won at Cloverdale in 2011, will be back in action with a slightly different team lineup to the winning team from that year. The remaining competing teams have yet to be decided.

‘Suspicious’ explosion and fire destroys two trailer park homes Tom Zytaruk

Now staff Twitter @tomzytaruk

Surrey Mounties and firefighters are still trying to determine what caused a suspicious explosion and fire last Friday night that destroyed two trailer homes and damaged three others in Bridgeview. “It was not a bomb,” Surrey Deputy Fire Chief Karen Fry said Wednesday. “It probably had something to do with a fuel source, but we cannot make any

determinations as to the actual cause other than it was suspicious and we did turn it over to the RCMP.” Cpl. Bert Paquet said Wednesday that police had yet to identify a suspect. No one was injured in the blaze at the trailer park at 12662 112A Ave. but 15 people were left homeless. Paquet said emergency social services found temporary shelter for 10 of the displaced residents while the other five found themselves places to stay.

Health shuttle given green light

Fraser Health is keeping its Central Surrey Health Shuttle, following a three-month pilot project that began in September. The shuttle transports patients, physicians, other health services staff and volunteers between the King George SkyTrain Station, Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and

Surgery Centre, Surrey Memorial Hospital and Central City shopping mall, five days a week. Fraser Health spokeswoman Tasleem Juma said more than 3,000 riders – about 100 per day – used the service during the pilot project. “That’s 100 car trips not happening” per day, she noted.

The constable was taken to hospital with face and head injuries and a broken leg. “Thankfully nothing life-threatening,” Paquet said. Paquet said the officer had swerved to avoid another motorist who moved into his path. “You always try to avoid impact with any other vehicle,” he said. “He did what he had to. Unfortunately he lost control.” The fight turned out to be less serious than reported. Meanwhile, a man and woman were shot inside a residence in the 5800-block of 132nd Street, at about 3:40 a.m. Tuesday. The woman is listed in stable condition and the man has been released from hospital. Paquet said police were trying to

locate a “person of interest.” “We’re still trying to establish what the motive could have been,” he said. Paquet said police believe the shooting was targeted and not random. “The public is not considered at risk in this case.” Delta Police responded to 98 calls – 63 of them during the evening. The department receives about 50 calls for help on a typical night. “It was busy and steady,” Acting Sgt. Lisa Coupar said. “Nothing major though. It was just major busy.” White Rock Mounties focused on drunk driving, checking roughly 500 cars on New Year’s Eve. They were happy to have issued just one 90-day driving prohibition. “It was actually quite uneventful,” Const. Janelle Shoihet said of New Years in White Rock. “Nothing really crazy.”

‘Astonishing’ farmers’ market set for another big year Christopher Poon

Now staff Twitter @questionchris

With the rest of 2013 to look forward to, it seems as if the White Rock Farmer’s Market isn’t wasting any time in getting things done. Having just wrapped up a successful winter season, those behind the market are now looking to the New Year to continue what’s become a staple for the White Rock community.

Having appeared before council earlier in December, a delegation on behalf of the Farmer’s market reported the market’s successes in a year-end report. Coun. Helen Fathers, also manager of the White Rock Farmers’ Market, said the market has grown into something of a success story for White Rock, noting that it has an economic benefit of around $1.3 million for White Rock. “That’s only for 80 hours worth of

business,” said Fathers. “We only operate for four hours a day for 20 weeks, so that’s astonishing.” The market, which runs weekly from the spring until the fall, with two special ones in the winter months, sees all sorts of vendors coming out to sell their goods, such as artisan crafts and foods. Fathers said the report was of particular interest because it showed a business model for the White Rock area that worked.

“We tried to get a feel for why people shop here,” she said. “It also says that there’s nothing going on in White Rock Sundays so it celebrates the heart of our community and is the business model to emulate.” The White Rock Farmers’ Market is operated out of the Kent St. Activity Centre and Fathers said she isn’t sure if there would be another location suitable for the market, if they were looking to expand.

Political questions for 2013 InTheHouse Keith Baldrey

he media is full of recaps of the year’s past events, so rather than add another repetitive article to that collection I thought it would might be more interesting to look at what lies ahead. With that in mind, here are four key questions where the answer to each may determine who is running this province by this time next year:

1. Can Premier Christy Clark rebuild her popularity with the voters? She has a serious problem here. Her unpopularity seems entrenched with the majority of British Columbians, especially among women. She insists she can lead her party to an election victory in the spring purely on the strength of her campaigning abilities. But there’s a big downside to that theory. In an election campaign, she will be front and centre all day and every night in front the voters and it could well mean

people get even more tired of hearing and seeing her – resulting in her standing with people sinking even lower, rather than improving. It’s highly unlikely a political party – especially one in power for more than a decade – can hold onto government if its leader is unpopular. Unfortunately for the B.C. Liberals, that is precisely the challenge they may have to overcome come the spring vote. 2. Can Adrian Dix maintain his cautious approach through the beginning of the New Year and all the way through an election campaign? So far, Dix has given no indication he’s going to change his message any time. And the continued strong showing in the polls by both him and his party suggest there’s no reason to. The B.C. Liberals will no doubt run a long, negative campaign against Dix and frame it in highly personal terms. I suspect Dix won’t take the bait and will stick to his own message. But here’s Dix’s challenge: can he keep his own team of candidates in check and prevent them from going

negative, or offering less than moderate policies? A couple of slip-ups by his own team could shatter his ongoing attempt to portray himself as a moderate, patient leader-in-waiting. 3. What role will the two minor political parties play in the next election? The B.C. Conservatives have gone from being a potentially significant force in B.C. politics to once again sliding into fringe party status, beset by comic buffoonery and amateur bungling. The party is almost broke and cannot guarantee it will even be able to run a full slate of candidates. At best, the party may win a couple of seats (the Peace River ridings are potentially their friendliest region) but otherwise may attract enough disaffected B.C. Liberal voters in a few

ridings to allow the NDP to snag a few seats it otherwise wouldn’t have a chance of winning. As for the Green Party, it may have a shot at winning one or two seats (a big maybe) on Vancouver Island, where the party is strongest. The key riding to watch will be Oak Bay-Gordon Head, where well-known climatologist Andrew Weaver is running. He will either win, or take enough B.C. Liberal and NDP voters to allow incumbent Ida Chong to hang on in a tight race. But the Greens are simply not a force on the broader provincial stage. While it’s incorrect to assume Green voters are more closely aligned with the NDP than any other party, it is likely their vote eats into NDP support more substantially than others.

Therefore, if the election turns out to be close between the B.C. Liberals and the NDP, at best the Greens will play a spoiler role and allow the B.C. Liberals to win a few tight races. 4. Will any single issue dominate politics in the coming year? It is unlikely one new issue will suddenly emerge as the key issue as the election cycle heads into the homestretch. The B.C. Liberals will insist the big issue is which party is most

reliable and competent when it comes to managing the economy, while the NDP will continue to stress its theme that the next vote comes down to who can you trust, and that it’s time for a change at the top. Other issues will come and go, but in the end, those two themes will be hammered home again and again as voting day nears. You might as well get used to it.

Editor wins new fan with junior journalists issue The Editor, There have been times when some of the editorials which you have written have proven to be very annoying and somewhat foolish in their adolescent opinion. Perhaps, I realize, this may have been the intention: to provoke some true and more profound consideration of a topic. But, as I read with great pleasure the “junior journalist” edition, I understand that there is perhaps a little more behind the name “Beau Simpson” than many may have realized, and it for this that I write to commend you for the work achieved with that one school – would that you could replicate this with so many other schools! I thank you and your team for the excellent work. David Marriott, Surrey

Issue had me hooked The Editor, It was really interesting to read the articles the junior journalists wrote. I was hooked. I hope you do it again next year! Kerry Lathwell, Surrey

Memorable edition The Editor, Your Dec. 24th special edition has been a delight to read. Thank you so much for giving your time, expertise and encouragement to these Grade 6/7 students. This, no doubt, will be regarded as a memorable highlight in their lives.

Who knows how many of them will move forward into a writing career? At the very least, they will be much more cognizant of the value of the printed word in their local newspapers and the process of producing an excellent newspaper. When I was teaching, I invited authors into my classroom to help my students with the writing process but, sadly, was not wise enough to invite a newspaper editor to do the same. Our loss! Barbara Warren, Surrey

An issue worth keeping The Editor, On New Year’s day, I was reading the Now as I ate my breakfast. I turned to the

letters page and was reminded of the special edition which I thought I had put aside for later reading. Following the lead of reader Dianne Harding, I then read “every single article,” and I would like to add my congratulations to everyone involved with this admirable project. Not only was the quality of the writing excellent, but the sentiments of the writers were entirely in tune with the best of Christmas sentiments – helping those less fortunate, the joy of giving rather than receiving, and learning to be sensitive to the needs of others and reach out to them. I hope that everyone involved with this project will save this edition and add it to their store of Christmas treasures, as will I. Mercedes Smith, Delta

During 2012, Port Mann was non-stop controversy

an there be any doubt that Port Mann Bridge was Surrey’s longest, widest and most controversial Hot Button Topic of 2012? It’s virtually impossible to find a person in these parts who doesn’t hold a strong opinion about some aspect of the new eight-laned span. Commuters groaned heavy groans in 2012 about having to pay tolls to drive across the Port Mann, and will no doubt continue to do so until the toll finally lifts in 2050 (or so they say). It’s the world’s widest bridge, at 65

metres, and cost $2.6 billion to build. While waiting for its grand opening in December, politicians and residents found plenty to bicker about – be it the accessibility of nontolled alternatives to the Port Mann, how much the toll should cost, and how the pain should be shared. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts, concerned that residents south of the Fraser are being hit hardest by the toll, called for fairer costsharing measures across the region. She was also miffed when the province pulled back on its original plan to have express buses stop in Surrey once they’ve crossed the Port

Whether it was tolls, bus snubs or ice bombs, the Port Mann Bridge brought us its fair share of headlines during 2012. Mann, calling the snub “ridiculous.” The bridge pretty much outdid itself at drawing headlines when, toward the end of 2012, during what will be remembered as an infamous snow storm in these parts, it rained ice bombs from on high upon

unfortunate commuters below. The provincial government says taxpayers won’t be on the hook for bridge upgrades to prevent this from happening again. We shall see.

Big projects were hot button issues during 2012

he year was a big one in terms of local projects. Aside from the proposed South Surrey casino and entertainment complex, which captured headlines for its vocal opponents and proponents and overall effect it may have on Surrey and the surrounding area, there were several other projects to keep an eye out for. One such project is a proposal in Delta that would see a 37-storey residential building go up near the Scott Road area along 80th Avenue. While nearby residents have voiced their opposition and concern for the project, Delta council moved forward with the highrise, saying Delta needs the “flashy” building in order to provide more housing and options for young and old buyers. Elsewhere in Delta, a proposal to build a large development at the bottom of 72nd Avenue has been criticized by environmental advocates as something that would potentially encroach upon Burns Bog and have a negative effect on the area. Proposed by the MK Delta Lands Group Inc., the project has the capacity for an estimated 1,800 residential units as well as room for other amenities such as restaurants, bars and retail shops. The development is proposed to span roughly 50 acres of land, and Delta council will consider it in the New Year. In Surrey, the modernization of Surrey’s city centre continued with the approval of “micro condos” for Whalley. The project, green-lit by council in October, will see 56 condos go up in Whalley, ranging from about 290 square feet to 653 square feet. The small

As of this writing, the condos were set to be smallest real estate in Canada, with construction expected to begin in early 2013. Also set for Whalley is the new headquarters of Coast Capital Savings as announced at the end of 2012. The 180,000-square-foot, nine-storey building will be located at the south side of the King George SkyTrain station and is set to be built by late 2015. When built, the headquarters will house roughly 700 Coast Capital employees. Coast Capital is the second largest credit union in B.C. Last, but not least, Simon Fraser University is also looking to expand its campus in Whalley, eyeing up two spots near its current tower at Central City shopping centre. The move follows SFU Surrey’s plans to expand its current capacity from 2,500 full-time students to 5,000. “SFU is the only research university that is trying to substantially grow its undergraduate population and that stems from our location in Surrey and the growth in Surrey and other south Fraser cities,” said Joanne Curry, SFU executive director and associate VP of external relations for SFU Surrey. If all goes accordingly, SFU hopes to begin building additional facilities within three years.

You can’t make this stuff up – odd news from 2012

FOs. Zombies. Ducks. There was no shortage of odd news in the last calendar year, ranging from paranormal activity to missing fowl. Here’s the quirkiest of the quirky. The opening of the Zombie Combat Zone got Surrey residents riled up to mow down hordes of the walking dead with paintballs. The 10-week immersive experience sold out shortly after news of the attraction made the rounds. The idea for it came from Ron McCall, a special effects whiz who, after watching one too many horror movies, had lengthy discussions with friends about how they would act if brain eaters took over the world. “He just thought, I’m going to make a zombie apocalypse and see how you guys do,” said Jen Yarnell, general manager of the ZCZ. The Zombie Combat Zone is expected to reopen sometime in 2013. In late August, a White Rock resident spotted a series of 10 UFOs over the seaside city, which she described as bright orange globes in the night sky. White Rock has a history of UFO sightings – with at least 12 since 1990 – and other readers phoned and emailed in their opinions, divided on the source of the evenly spaced lights. Gavin McLeod, a member of the Mutual UFO Network, suggested the UFOs were actually Chinese lanterns which are often mistaken for alien spaceships. Keeping with the out-of-this-world encounters, modernday Ghostbusters from Northern Paranormal Investigations visited the Coast Capital Playhouse in White Rock. The building is said to be haunted by the site’s founders, whose ashes were placed beneath the stage. “I hear knocking all the time, constantly, sounds like people are running up and down the stairs,” said Nicole Danish, building manager of the playhouse.

Year was filled with crashes involving pedestrians

t seemed to be open season on pedestrians in 2012 as reports kept coming in about people being hit – and in many cases, being left at the scene by the driver. In December, a seven-year-old girl was struck by an SUV at a crosswalk in the 14000-block of 74th Avenue in Newton. Earlier that same week another girl was injured in a hit-and-run while she was crossing 188th Street at 58th Avenue. Also in December, two women out

jogging were struck down during a hit-andrun collision at the intersection of 152nd Street and 32nd Avenue in South Surrey. In October an 11-year-old boy was sent to hospital after being struck by a car during a hit-and-run crash while he was crossing 82nd Avenue near 154B Street. Meanwhile, police are still waiting for a hit-and-run driver to do the right thing and turn himself in after running over a 49-yearold Surrey man who was cleaning the back entrance of a Sikh temple with a leaf blower

in October, near 86th Avenue and 130th Street. In September a 74-year-old woman was killed after jaywalking in the 12300-block of 96th Avenue. That same week, two Surrey children were taken to hospital with leg injuries after being hit by cars while they were walking to school. In August a 60-year-old man was injured in a hit-and-run crash while he was walking in the area of 126th Street and 68th Avenue.

In June, a young woman was sent to hospital in serious condition after a Mazda 3 struck her while she was walking along 80th avenue near 116th Street in North Delta, and then took off. In July a 29-year-old Surrey man was killed while crossing King George Boulevard in Whalley. Also in July, a man and woman were struck down in a hit-and-run while they were sitting on a bench at a bus stop at 88th Avenue and 146th Street in Newton.

Bullying was big issue in 2012

W I NT E R P R O G R A M S 2 01 3

The problem of bullying, and efforts to curb it, got a lot of ink in 2012. Among the many pink shirt days, forums and campaigns in 2012, the RCMP launched its “It gets better” video, aimed at helping gay youth overcome bullies, while local NDP MLA Jinny Sims slammed the Tory government for shooting down an NDP motion to create a national bullying prevention strategy. “We’ve got young people taking their lives,” the MP for Newton-North Delta noted. “It just sort of breaks your heart.” The City of Surrey launched its second annual Stop Bullying film contest and B.C. Premier Christy Clark launched her government’s ERASE Bullying Summit. A candlelight vigil was held in Surrey in October in memory of Port Coquitlam teen Amanda Todd, who committed suicide after being bullied online. Her tragic death drew international media attention.

Surrey city council sealed the deal on a new 20-year contract with the RCMP in April. The Mounties have been policing Surrey since the RCMP replaced the Surrey Police Force on May 1, 1951. The new contract will expire on March 31, 2032. The Surrey RCMP, Canada’s largest detachment, has 661 Mounties and roughly 250 support staff. The annual RCMP costs in Surrey are about $101 million, but that’s expected to increase by 1.6 per cent over the next three years. Surrey city council signed off on the contract after federal Public Safety Minister Vic Toews and provincial Minister of Justice Shirley Bond met in Surrey in March to sign a 20-year contract for RCMP policing in B.C., during a special ceremony at the detachment. The contract was signed after four years of talks. Besides Surrey, the RCMP also polices a majority of the province, including 2,700 kilometres of coastline. The RCMP has more than 200 municipal contracts across Canada and 60 of Tom Zytaruk those are in B.C.

o, happy New Year – again. I mean, since last year’s greeting, of course. Odd, isn’t it, that we rely on a date on the calendar to tell us when to begin. Well, you have to begin somewhere – so since this is beginning of a new year, might as well begin something. How about learning to dance? Just social dancing. C’mon, don’t just shuffle this idea to one side. You are looking, aren’t you, for a little physical exercise (good for you) in a social setting (also good for you), and development of cognitive activities that help your brain stay young and functioning. Yup. Learning to dance can do all of that for you – and more. Semiahmoo Arts (at Centennial Park, 14600 North Bluff Rd., White Rock) is offering two sessions of dance classes by well known dance instructor Nick Zwager. OK, I tried to appeal to your desire to get brain and body fit (and younger), but the arts council of White Rock/South Surrey has taken a different approach to drawing interest to these beginner dance classes: “Winter is here… so why not stay close and warm with that special someone, or perhaps meet the soulmate of your dreams and learn to boogie those winter nights away?” The sessions start Jan. 13 and run on Sunday evenings, with “Simply Jive” and “Dancing for Fun” themes. Everyone is

welcome, but these classes are primarily designed for the beginner. To register, visit www.semiahmooarts. com; for more information, contact Mr. Zwager via 778990 4222 or nickzwager@ gmail.com. Don’t wait. As with all recreational classes, without sufficient enrollment, there is danger of cancellation. Take a chance, do it now. I think you’ll really enjoy the experience. Surrey Little Theatre’s next offering, Bermuda Avenue Triangle, is a story about beginnings as well. Two elderly widows – one Jewish (Fanny, played by Kate Cuvelier Major) and the other Italian-Catholic (Tess, played by Laurie Kortschuk) – are set up in an upscale Las Vegas retirement condo by their career-oriented daughters (played by TerryFord and Lisa Beaulieu). Trapped by years of unhappiness, Fanny weeps and Tess does nothing but complain. But that all changes when these two ladies cross paths with a charming scoundrel, Johnny Paolucci (Peter Cowhig), who rocks their worlds. Fanny and Tess undergo a grand metamorphosis from being two baggy, grey-haired old biddies into a pair of glam-rock golden girls. It’s an adult comedy with some coarse language – a PG13 warning. Bermuda Avenue Triangle runs from Jan. 24 to Feb. 16. For details, go to www.surreylittletheatre. com. Tickets are only $15, so you can afford to take dance lessons and go to a show. You never know, this could be the beginning of a whole new you for the New Year. One more thought – or reminder: Arts Club Theatre Company is touring with Henry and Alice: Into the

26 with VocalEye audio description. VocalEye patrons are eligible for a $25 ticket price. VocalEye equipment is limited, so reserving ahead is recommended.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Cancer June 21-July 22: This week starts with romance and/or passion – and/or, because the passion can be creative, or about a risky venture, or passion for a child’s future. Be careful in these – a secret, a too-lustful approach, or a money or health factor (e.g., herpes) could lead love into disappointment or anger. Be moderate. Tackle chores midweek. Thursday/Friday bring opportunity and opposition. True love is a potential all week, but if true love is born now, it’s likely to be a fiery, perhaps rocky one! The weekend is for mulling, figuring it all out. All month, invest or research in career. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: A pile of work faces you. (With more chores than you might suspect on the home front, as Sunday/Monday hint.) Might as well plunge in and get it done. A relationship heats up now into February – this can be love or enmity, but a definite societal, intellectual, travel, cultural or legal theme accompanies it. “Dynamic” couples might agree to wed – or travel. Tuesday/Wednesday emphasize romance, pleasure, sports, creative surges and speculative ventures, but only Tuesday “come through.” There’s that work – in spades – Thursday/Friday. Careful Saturday eve: wrong relationship! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: The accent lies on romance, creativity, sports, games, charming kids, beauty and pleasure – you’re riding a winning streak, especially Thursday/Friday, when a new love affair or a new creative project could start. But work demands your attention, too. This week, a schedule keeps you from careening all over the place. (Ignore schedules next week, when opportunities need flexibility.) Sunday (better) and Monday (a dud) feature short trips, communications, curiosity and variety. Attend to your foundations, home and family (and your need for rest) midweek – start projects Tuesday.

Some great kids aged 12 to 18 who need a stable, caring home for a few months. Are you looking for the opportunity to do meaningful, fulfilling work? PLEA Community Services is looking for qualified applicants who can provide care for youth in their home on a full-time basis or on weekends for respite. Training, support and remuneration are provided. Funding is available for modifications to better equip your home. A child at risk is waiting for an open door. Make it yours. Call 604-708-2628

Aries March 21 - April 19: The accent continues on ambition, status, prestige relationships and your dealings with authorities. From 2008 to 2024, higher-ups are serious, implacable, heavy-handed. Yet, from 2011 to 2018, rebellious urges visit you strongly; you have seldom been so unwilling to compromise. The result could be a battle royal: but before you enter it, contemplate their motives and your options. To succeed, fulfill higher-ups’ dreams and social wishes, which are the same as your own financial, research and/or sexual goals. Sorry this is puzzling: no other way to express it. Clues Sunday. Taurus April 20-May 20: Soon love questions will be resolved – the mysterious, the lustful, will dissolve to become understanding, gentle affection. (That’s not a decrease in love, but a transformation to a stronger base.) Continue, all month, to avoid friction with higher-ups: smile, tackle chores promptly. You might be “kicked upstairs” – into a management role. The nicest thing: these weeks are filled with a mellow wisdom: useless fears melt away. Relationships (to autumn 2015) are slow, demand loyalty and “repeated effort” – but this trend also brings the right mate to singles – clues Sunday. Gemini May 21-June 20: As I predicted, your friendship circle has begun to grow over the last few months (compared to 1996-2011). This month, you might fear that the old barrier has returned, as a solitary mood steals over you. But this is temporary – by late January, and especially February to June (and doubly especially in April) your optimism will return, and friendships will increase again! Meanwhile, use the solitude, depths, mysteries and urges of the present to invest, or to make good changes in your life: bold changes! (Best Thursday/Friday.) Protect health Sunday/Monday. New vistas midweek.

Jan. 6 - Jan. 12, 2013

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The focus lies on home, children, nutrition, land, security, retirement. These basic matters are undergoing deep, significant change in the 2008-2024 period. Many Librans “made their nest” in the last three years: but now you might be spending on that nest, or on your children. You don’t mind, because you see the lasting value involved. Still, keep expenses in line with a conservative income picture, now to late 2015 (clues Sunday/Monday). A romantic thread winds through January, could lead you to a true mate, especially from the 21st into February. Security and amour don’t mix. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: The accent lies on communications and travel, especially Thursday/ Friday, when a new project might emerge. Be curious – what you find now might form the basis for future projects/actions. E.g., you might wander into a neighbourhood where your next home will be. Act slowly, wisely and gently on the home front all month. Your energy and charisma soar Sunday/ Monday (though little might get done Monday – stick to routine jobs). Chase money, buy/sell Tuesday. Settle into home comforts Saturday – a.m. lucky, p.m. not. Soon – not yet – a major, beneficial lifestyle change will arrive. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Chase money (buy/ sell, expand clients, tug your boss’s shirttail, etc.). That will be easier next week than this one, but by waiting you might miss a good opportunity (probably Thursday/Friday) to launch a lucrative process. You’ll feel restless all month, as a streak of curiosity and wanderlust draw you toward a pleasurable (or romantic) destination. Reading, writing, news media and coffee shops can ease your itchy feet. If you have feelings for someone, tell them. Don’t mistake solitude for security. Lie low, rest early week. You shine Monday/Tuesday! Travel Saturday.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness continue at a yearly high. Start important projects, see and be seen, call in favours, propose new schemes to bosses or employees. You’re on a rise! Money flows to you all month – bank it, or you could lose more than you gain. Spend only – carefully – on household items, real estate, food and shelter. Your optimism, cheerfulness and happiness rise on a swell of friendly feeling Sunday/Monday. (Monday, money and social plans might conflict.) Until late 2015 your hopes and wishes will be sober, serious – and more likely to come true. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Retreat, plan. Rest, contemplate. Support others, and seek support if you need it. Therapy, charitable acts, interfacing with government agencies or corporate head offices – these go well. Your determination and sex appeal are strong now, but keep them “in reserve.” Avoid overexertion, and overstaying your welcome. By the 19th onward, you’ll burst into an all-round explosion of accomplishment. Higher-ups are observing Sunday/ Monday. Smile, rather than vent your frustration Monday. Hope returns midweek. But the full extent of your weariness hits Thursday/Friday: find sweet rest. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: This week and next bring popularity, light romance, wish fulfillment, entertainment and optimistic plans for the future. Be thoughtful Sunday/Monday. Wisdom will nudge you to reject a money source that’s “tainted” or too secretive. Be ambitious Tuesday; act early, take steps to firm/form alliances and seize career opportunities. Wednesday’s the same, a pleasant, ambitious day – trouble is, it yields little. Stick to routine. That popularity and light romance arrive strongly Thursday/ Friday – enjoy! But retreat Saturday, take a rest. All month, avoid unsavoury people and locales. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 604-886-4808

2013 Tourism White Rock Art Calendar

Meet the Artists By Tracey Rayson

Sunset Pier – (Outside front cover) Nattawot Juttiwattananon: ﬂickr.com/ people/83255230@N02 Inspired to capture landscapes in his native Thailand, Nattawot took up photography seven months ago. A White Rock resident for almost seven years, he believes nothing is more iconic to White Rock than the pier and the white rock. Shot in October, he used a 50-year-old Russian Helios 44-2 58mm f2 lens on his digital Olympus OMD EM5. “I walked around the beach thinking about what I wanted to shoot. I waited until the ‘golden time’ and was lucky enough to get a couple holding hands. The composition, moment, and colour were perfect — one shot, all at the right time.”

JANUARY - Sunset Over the Surf Tim Shields: HDRphotos.com Tim bought his ﬁrst camera at 13 and has been hooked on photography ever since. A four-year White Rock resident, Tim captured this sunset with a wide angle lens and Nikon D90 on a cold April day. With high winds and huge waves, only minutes to spare, he snapped a few frames on the beach before wading into the water, waves crashing to his waist. “I’m sure people watching thought I was crazy, but I nailed the shot! I liked the way the sun reﬂected off the water and the size of the waves, which are rare for White Rock.”

FEBRUARY - Promenade in Snow Marilyn Trenchard: mtrenchardphoto.com With a studio in White Rock, Marilyn has lived in the community for 20 years, actively involved in photography for over 30 years. Her love of nature combined with an artistic eye enables her photographs to capture the splendour of the natural world. This photo was taken several years ago with a medium format camera, just west of the pier, mid afternoon, after a freak snowfall. “It was more difﬁcult to get from my home than it was to take the single image I shot. For me, White Rock is a special place because of its picturesque and quiet beauty.”

MARCH - Wind Swept Ellen Atkin: EllenAtkin.com A self-taught photographer, Ellen became interested in photography at 13, after taking a studio darkroom course. An aerial and fine art photographer, she was a White Rock resident for five years. Ellen spends winters in Mexico and shoots sports action tourist photography of kiteboarders and windsurfers; she started shooting sports action in Whistler in the ‘90s. She’s currently exhibiting in La Ventana, Baja Sur. “Wind Swept was taken in March on a particularly windy day, while I lived on Marine Drive. I saw my neighbours gearing up to go windsurfing, so I walked out my front door and snapped this shot.”

APRIL – Mariners’ Light Joy Gerow: lensdancer.com Joy’s artistic talents stem from childhood where she holds fond memories of White Rock’s beach community. As a member of the Canadian Association of Photographic Art, she’s won four competitions, and her most treasured, the Judy Daniels’ Award of Excellence from the Langley Camera Club. In September, after dinner at Moby Dick, she stood at the pier’s edge and shot 50 frames of the water/boats/sunset with a Nikon D2x and 24120mm Nikkor lens. “There are two horizontal lines in the water to the right of the boats: two swimmers in full wetsuits coming in for the night — a delightful surprise!”

MAY - Birds Over the Bay Hugh Zhao: ﬂickr.com/photos/hugh6 With 28 years of photography experience, Hugh specializes in portrait, fashion, and scenic images. Currently a photojournalist with Shandong Pictorial magazine, a famous periodical in China, Hugh has over 5,000 published photographs. A White Rock resident for just over a year, his love for the sea takes him to the ocean and beach to shoot during the morning and evenings. On an early spring morning in 2012, Hugh set out with his Nikon

D3. “I went down to the pier and saw numerous birds ﬂying over the sea. Their beauty almost took my breath away, so I just kept shooting.”

JUNE – A Castle’s Last Stand Derek Hayes: derekhayesphotography.com A White Rock resident since ‘94, Derek got his ﬁrst 35mm at age nine and now creates his own history books. Over 50 of his images appear in his latest, British Columbia: A New Historical Atlas. “Taken in May with a Canon 5D Mark II, the tide was coming in and people seemed desperate to get photos before the castle collapsed into the sea; it did — about 15 minutes after taking this photo. Including the couple added the necessary scale to the image. For this evening shot, the light was good during the last hour of daylight — the golden hour.”

JULY – Snowbirds Over White Rock Derek Hayes: derekhayesphotography.com “The Snowbirds were shot from the upper deck of my house, which overlooks Semiahmoo Bay. It was taken one evening in July, 2012 with my Sony R-1 camera. I ﬁred off several hundred shots of the various acrobatics the Snowbirds performed, but this one ‘hit the spot’ more effectively than any of the others, and also, by including the Gulf Islands and Semiahmoo Bay with sailboats in it, gave the photo good context. I was lucky that a couple of the jets happened to be emitting orange smoke right at this point, which gives the photo a little more colour.”

AUGUST - A Day at the Beach Adrian Burden: adrianburden.com A budding photographer since high school, Adrian shoots weddings, events, and favourite hiking locales, with photos in Lonely Planet, Tourism Vegas publications, and the cover of Hike Chilliwack Tourism. A Surrey resident, Adrian enjoys frequent “photo walks” in White Rock and caught this Sea Festival image on a Nikon D3. “I walked up and down the beaches to shoot the many activities. Lots of people were out and about and I wanted to capture this by showing the sprawling crowds on East Beach. I found the perfect vantage point from the top of the hill between East and West Beach.”

SEPTEMBER - Reﬂections of East Beach Brandur Coombs: brandurcoombsphotography.com After a 20-year departure from his own dark room photo processing, Brandur picked up the camera three years ago with his wife’s encouragement. Since then, his photos have been featured in art exhibits, including the Surrey Arts Centre, “Mirror Mirror” and the Fraser River Discover Centre, “Photos of the Fraser.” A 10year White Rock resident, Brandur snapped this photo in October on his way home from work with a Pentax K-x. “I was drawn to the calmness of the water and captured the shot on the ﬁrst take from the public boat dock at the end of the pier.”

his home. He ran down to the beach at low tide with his tripod and Nikon D90. “I only had about one minute of real sunset left so I raced to the water’s edge hoping to catch some reﬂection from the sun. With a wide angle lens, I lowered the tripod to about 12 inches off the sand and ﬁred a series of three frames. I processed them into one HDR image that captured the dark and bright spots within the frame. It’s one of my all-time favourite photos.”

NOVEMBER - White Rock Eagles Stacey Kons: staceykonsphotography.com A photog hobbyist since youth, Stacey got serious with her craft over the past few years shooting landscapes, scenery, families and children. As a Cloverdale resident for 10 years, White Rock has always been a special place. One rainy and sleet-ﬁlled February day, Stacey spent 25 minutes shooting eagles on the East Beach with her Canon T1i wrapped in a scarf. “With a telephoto lens, I got some decent shots. I tried to balance taking the photos with watching the eagles to appreciate the amazing experience. I had a whole section of the beach to myself with the eagles — wonderful!”

DECEMBER - Winter Evening Wilma Maki: ﬂickr.com/photos/wilmamaki Interested in art since childhood, Wilma began taking photographs in her 20s while travelling — loving nature photography best. Living in White Rock for the past 10 years has inspired her to resume her passion. With two photo books to her name, White Rock Impressions and Fraser River Estuary, she sells her images at the museum and Painters’ Square. This museum image, prerenovation, was taken at dusk with a Nikon ﬁlm camera. “I like to wander about and wait for a scene to capture my attention — then I must be open to what is around me and be ready to see.”

Soar – (Inside back cover) Darlene Bellamy Seatter A self-describe hobbyist photographer, Darlene has been shooting nature (her favourite genre) for about four years: “attempting to capture tranquility at its best!” An ex-pat Winnipegian, Darlene has lived in White Rock for 42 years and captured the Soar shot during one of her frequent afternoon walks along the promenade and pier. On a brisk February day she noticed the unique cloud formation, and promptly left her house with her Canon T2i. “Thanks to the convenience of digital photography, I always snap numerous shots. I felt this one with the seagull passing by was ‘the’ shot I was looking for.”

Beautiful Ending - (Outside back cover) Danielle Holland: ﬂickr.com/photos/89151131@N02

One January evening, Tim watched the makings of a sunset from

A new resident, Danielle moved to White Rock a year and a half ago, and has been welcomed into the community as if she has lived there her whole life. Her interest in photography spans many years and she shoots anything she ﬁnds to be beautiful — particularly nature and her family. “This photograph was taken one evening when my husband said, ‘You might want to grab your camera because this isn’t going to last long!’ I ran to my balcony, my Fujiﬁlm FinePix S4000 in hand, and took the shot: a beautiful ending to a beautiful White Rock February day.”

NEWS Year in review

Casino continues to spark controversy into 2013

Both sides of debate will ramp up rhetoric again as public hearing looms

fter gaining prominence toward the end of 2012, the Now has selected the proposed South Surrey casino and entertainment complex as the south’s Hot Button Issue of 2012. Not only did the issue dominate headlines in the later months of the year, but the amount and depth of the discussions resulting from the controversial project lead to it standing out as a clear favourite for the Hot Button Issue of 2012. Opponents to the project argue that it would be a loss of even more farmland for Surrey, as the land in question is currently designated agricultural reserve land. They also argue that the mostly-rural area was not the appropriate place for such a development and that it would detract from the property values of those living nearby. Finally, anti-gambling advocates are against the gambling aspect of the project, saying that the project would encourage illicit characters to frequent the area.

A proposed casino and entertainment complex in South Surrey has dominated headlines – and will likely continue to do so well into the New Year. “If I was a hotel or restaurant operator in the area, I would be very concerned, and I wonder what happened that brought us to a place where we’re even considering this monster being put in your community to destroy your neighbourhood,” said

Winter Tires?

opponent Russ Buchanan during a public meeting regarding the proposal. On the other hand, business leaders and proponents hail the project as a boon for Surrey, as it would lead to job creation and millions of dollars of revenue for the city

and other businesses. On top of the revenue and jobs, proponents also cite the amenities such as the hotel and entertainment venue that would accompany the project as being a good thing for South Surrey, as there are currently no comparables in the region. “It is much more than a casino and this must really be recognized. Most notably, this features the following, 20,000 square feet of much-needed conference space,” said Anita Huberman, CEO of the Surrey Board of Trade in an announcement of her support for the project earlier this year. Cliff Annable, of the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce also threw his support behind the proposal, saying it would mean keeping gaming dollars within Surrey. “Each year, Surrey residents are spending approximately $(80) million on casinos outside of Surrey,” he said at the same announcement. “This proposal will make it possible for Surrey residents to spend more of their entertainment dollars in Surrey.” Surrey council is expected to make their final decision on the proposed casino following a Jan. 14 public hearing.
