Former priest faces more sex charges Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Ralph Rowe.

A Surrey man described in court as one of the most prolific sex offenders in Canada faces seven more charges of sexually assaulting young people. The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged former Anglican priest and scout leader Ralph Rowe with five new counts of sexual assault and two counts of indecent assault. The charges, laid on April 22 by the OPP North West Region Crime Unit in Thunder Bay, relate to incidents that allegedly occurred in northwestern

Ontario between 1973 and 1986 in the First Nations communities of Fort Severn, Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug, Wunnumin Lake and Kingfisher Lake. Rowe, 72, currently lives in Surrey. An OPP statement issued Tuesday said Rowe was served a summons by an RCMP officer and is scheduled to appear in court in Kenora, Ont. on May 31. He has been incarcerated twice before, serving more than six years in jail for multiple counts of sex-related crimes involving boys as young as six. The incidents occurred during the 1970s and 1980s, while Rowe was traveling to remote First Nations

communities in Manitoba and Ontario to conduct church services and youth events. Rowe was described by a Crown prosecutor as one of the “most prolific” sex offenders Canada has seen. At his first trial in Kenora, Ontario Superior Court in 1994, Rowe pleaded guilty to 39 counts of indecent assault involving 19 boys and was sentenced to six years. Under the terms of his plea bargain, Rowe would serve no additional jail time if convicted of other similar offences. see page A4

White Rock votes 4-2 against licence for new waterfront business

Civic foes fail to extinguish hemp shop Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Despite a recommendation from city staff and a majority vote by White Rock council to reject a licence for a hemp-themed retail store on the waterfront, the business venture will proceed. Council voted 4-2 this week to refuse an application by Victor ‘Randy’ Caine for a licence to operate Hempyz Gifts and Novelties

at 14967 Marine Dr. However, the city’s bylaws state that council can only deny such applications if the vote is unanimous. “Only council has the right to refuse it,” Paul Stanton, the city’s director of planning and development services, told the politicians after the vote, in response to a question from Coun. Helen Fathers as to its impact. “Staff does not have the right to refuse it.”

Hempyz had opened its doors last Friday, three days before the council vote. Its merchandise includes items made of hemp, a less potent part of the cannabis plant than marijuana buds. Caine, a Langley resident, had applied for the licence in December, and sat in chambers Monday as Stanton explained reasoning for his recommendation. see page A5

If you wanted to find Don Carr at a social event, all you had to do was look for a group of smiling people and the genial giant of a man with the booming laugh would be in the middle. “If you walked into a room or a party, he would be surrounded by people,” says his youngest son. “He was a great storyteller.” Chris Carr recalled his father’s memory this week, after the older Carr lost his battle with cancer May 1. He is survived by his wife Sherry, sons Jason and Chris, daughter-inDon Carr law Brandi and granddaughters Mackenzie and Riley. In White Rock, the 6’2” Carr was a household name, the owner of Don Carr Chev Olds, a dealership that won multiple awards for business excellence. The Carrs were also known as sponsors of the annual Canadian Sandcastle competition in the ’70s and ’80s, as well as backing White Rock minor hockey, Semiahmoo Rotary Golf Tournament, South Surrey Eagles hockey team and other organizations and festivals. see page A4

As Yamamoto noted in the House Monday, the provincial government was complicit in the removal of the JapaneseCanadians. The forced relocation was driven by antiOriental politicians at all levels of government, in particular the B.C. legislature and Vancouver city council. Suzuki’s late brother-in-law once owned land on 88 Avenue just east of Scott Road, which is now a major shopping centre. Other Japanese-Canadians operated small fruit farms in the Strawberry Hill area, and others fished from Annieville on the Fraser River. While an apology 70 years later cannot make up for the hardships that the internees endured, it is a welcome and overdue step. The Suzukis deserve thanks for their willingness to take on this cause, and obtain formal recognition of the wrong done so long ago. Here’s hoping that local governments in Surrey and Delta will now do their best to honour the hard work of many Japanese-Canadian residents who lived here until they were forcibly removed. Their hard work helped to build this community. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

news Canine owners say White Rock has accomplished little and made things worse in proposed legislation

City assures dog parks are still in works Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Amendments to White Rock’s dog-control and ticketing rules received a preliminary thumbs-up at city hall Monday. But those who’ve been pushing the city to provide more services for resident dogs and their owners say the revised legislation actually makes the current situation worse. It eliminates the areas that the original bylaw allowed dogs to be, and bumps fines – for example, to $150 for an unlicensed dog – while giving nothing in return, said Michael Armstrong, founder of DogWhiteRock. “Seems adding fines is more important than adding dog services for the 3,000plus dog owners in town that do not want

to pay the licence fee because there are no for Bylaw Offenses Amendment bylaws first, dog parks,” Armstrong writes in an email second and third reading, the vote did not go to Peace Arch News. “Four months after our ahead without protest. delegation and nothing has changed but less Coun.

A staff report recommends dogs only be permitted on the beach in an area west of Bay Street; and that dogs not be allowed on any portion of the pier, promenade or grassy areas adjacent to the promenade. Escalating fines for dogs running at large, significant fines for animal cruelty and an increase in number of dogs allowed per household, from two to three, are among proposed changes; as are rules against owning exotic animals such as elephants and hyenas.

Surrey seeks support

Renters’ help on agenda Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Tenants with a beef may soon find it easier to take their landlords to task. Surrey is asking the Lower Mainland Local Government Association (LMLGA) this week to press the province for amendments to the Residential Tenancy Act (RTA), in hopes people living under unacceptable conditions can seek remedy quicker and easier. A resolution brought forward by Coun. Judy Villeneuve Monday, received unanimous support from council and is to be addressed this week at the LMLGA meeting in Whistler. At issue in the resolution is Part 5 of the RTA, which outlines an onerous series of steps, including court filings and a courtenforced judgement. “Tenants who wish to enforce their rights under the RTA must navigate a complex bureaucratic and legal process and be prepared to spend significant amounts of time and money to engage the process, creating barriers for tenants to access the RTA, especially tenants with low incomes or vulnerabilities,” the resolution states. Villeneuve and the city’s social planning committee have been working on the issue for more than a year. “We have a concern with a lot of the rental stock that was built in the 1980s,” Villeneuve said, adding that it’s getting old. “Tenants are living in untenable situations.” She notes that the Residential Tenancy Branch should be enforcing its decisions, rather than making people go to court to affect change. “What they have in place is totally ineffective to protect tenants,” Villeneuve said. The resolution, if passed, would go to the Union of B.C. Municipalities, which would urge the province to bring meaningful change to the act.

Networking promoted on bus tours of Surrey industry

SBOT members toast local businesses Alex Browne Staff Reporter

They came, they saw, they networked. More than 100 business leaders attended the Surrey Board of Trade’s third annual Tour of Industry last week, receiving a firsthand impression of the scope and potential of business development in the city. Three busloads of ‘tourists’ visited different lists of companies throughout Surrey during last Friday’s morning tour – conducted by the board in conjunction with real estate specialists Colliers International – before converging for lunch at Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Cloverdale campus and a talk by Surrey City Development Corporation’s Jim Cox. And, judging by participants who stopped to sample a few vintages at South Surrey’s River’s Bend Winery on Colebrook Road, those on the

tour came away impressed with the breadth and diversity of industry already established in Surrey, and ideas about how businesses could more closely co-operate to support each other. The potential of home-grown business was a continuing theme of conversation as the winery’s Jacquie Alberding poured samples of River’s Bend’s current product, including the Black Horse Cabernet – bearing a label depicting owner Court Faessler on his horse. “He always wanted to name a wine after his horse,” Alberding noted. She said one of the fun aspects of representing River’s Bend is helping people discover that while some of the wines use grapes grown in the Okanagan, others are entirely the product of the winery’s 15-acre vineyard. “The most rewarding part is when people come in to our store and take one of the estate

bottles and they are blown away that the grapes are grown right here – I get a kick out of that.” Wayne Berg, chief commercial officer for Coast Capital Savings, said local businesses becoming more aware of each others’ operations, markets – and needs – is “a win-win all around.” “It’s part of the raison d’etre for a board of trade to promote business and we’re doing this with the intent to support local industry,” he said. Malcolm Earle, senior vice-president of Colliers International, said the involvement of business leaders and community leaders is “really critical” in boosting the business potential of Surrey. “If you can get the word out amongst people who are active in the community, the information gets out faster,” he said.

Diocese aware of Rowe’s record

‘Best one-liners’ from page A1 Carr also routinely donated vehicles to the RCMP for community policing. Chris Carr recalls his father as an avid sports fan whose tastes included curling, NASCAR racing and golf, which he liked to both watch and play. Don Carr was a ninehandicap golfer who often played at the Bellingham Golf Course. Chris Carr says his father’s biggest compliment for a person was to call them a “class act” and his highest quality ranking was expressed as “first cabin.” His father was also a class act, a larger-thanlife character who told the best one-liners, and an accomplished world traveller with his wife, the son says. “He was memorable,” Chris Carr says. Born June 7, 1939, in Winnipeg, Man., Carr joined the GM corporation on graduation from the University of Mani-

toba in 1962. After 17 years with GM, he went into business for himself, and bought the former Clifford Pontiac Buick dealership at Five Corners in White Rock in 1979. In 1989, at GM’s request, he converted to a Chev Olds dealership. The business relocated to the South Surrey Auto Mall in 1990. Three years ago, Don Carr retired. He and his wife moved into their oceanfront dream home in Campbell River. A celebration of his life will be held at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre, at 14831 28 Ave. in Surrey, on Tuesday, May 15, at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, people are being asked to make a donation to the fight against cancer by going to bccancerfoundation.com and searching for the Don Carr fundraising page.

Press, Ronald Harrison, executive archdeacon for the Diocese of New Westminster, said steps were taken to limit Rowe’s involvement, especially with children, but the church could not exclude him altogether. “As Christians, we believe in forgiveness,” Harrison said. Rowe’s past did not come to light until he was arrested in 2007 on new charges of forcible rape and attempted rape. He was sentenced to another three years in jail. He was released on parole in 2009, one day after he was found guilty on seven new charges – six counts of indecent assault and one count of sexual assault – but did not serve additional time. -with files from Dan Ferguson

said, Rowe began to take a more prominent role, singing with the church choir and occasionally delivering prayers at the front of the church, not as a minister but as a lay member of the church. The congregation was never formally informed of Rowe’s criminal convictions. At the time, Canadian police did not routinely notify communities about the presence of a potentially dangerous sexual offender. However, police and parole officers did know about Rowe’s presence, and so did the local diocese.

All aboard the peace train

T

he politeness of Canadians – especially around some of the world’s bigger and more controversial issues – has long been legendary. Where other nations are inclined to stamp, hoot, holler – even invade, if sufficiently moved – Canada has always minded its p’s and q’s. Even when taking a strong stance, Canadians are more likely to voice it with a ‘please’, a ‘thank you’ or an ‘excuse me.’ Following last Saturday’s ‘blockade’ of coal trains on the BNSF tracks near White Rock pier by British Columbians for Climate Action, the city appears to be in the running for politeness capital of a polite nation. And the title of ambassadors for the principle must belong to White Rock RCMP, who attended the protest along with CN police acting on behalf of BNSF. It’s hard to recall a demonstration where protesters have been so adamant in their desire to compliment the police who ultimately led them away under arrest. But that has been the message of two of the 13 arrested for trespassing on the BNSF tracks; retired environmental scientist Peter Nix and environmental activist Kevin Washbrook. Particularly singled out for praise was White Rock’s detachment commander, Staff Sgt. Lesli Roseberry, who, while she spelled out very clearly her commitment to public and protester safety, also made it clear she respected their right to have their voices heard. And why shouldn’t dissent be treated with anything less than respect in a democracy? We don’t have to look very far these days to see the evidence of bully-boy politics. It’s an ugly paradigm that serves nobody’s purpose except for demagogues and corporations with vested interests in obscuring the truth. Some may dispute that there is any link between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change, and view the coal-train protesters as misguided, but no one should doubt this is an issue those who participated take seriously. As SFU professor Dr. Mark Jaccard – one of the arrestees and an internationally recognized energy-environment economist – said in a statement, “putting myself in a situation where I may be accused of civil disobedience is not something I ever expected to be doing or wanted to do… I ask myself how our children, when they look back decades from now, will have expected us to act today.” And while their efforts may be brushed aside as easily as they were from the tracks, chances are they have started a protest that will give them a broader platform from which to speak.

Last week we asked...

Should the use of dog chains and tethers be banned?

yes 57% no 43% 157 responding And in the interest of full-disclosure, we did have the option of bottled water in the pop machine, but it cost a quarter more than the can of Coke. Which one do you think we picked? It’s no wonder so many young people these days are obese. Why pay that extra few cents when the easier – and let’s face it, usually more delicious – option is cheaper. Now though, things are different. Schools have smartened up, and young people themselves are more aware that doughnuts with fruit filling don’t really fall into multiple food groups. And I’m smarter too, having, since February, ditched all my old favourites in exchange for healthier fare – vegetables, lean meats, brown rice, quinoa, all that stuff. I have accepted – if not yet totally embraced – the fact that the money I spend to eat better is worth it in the long run. Truth be told, I am actually enjoying it. Yes, it’s tough to pass up the drive-thru line – and the limited-time offer to buy five burgers for five bucks – but I know it’s worth it. I feel better, don’t get nearly as winded playing softball as I once did, and I can walk up a flight of stairs without risk of a stroke. And like I had to years ago during my fast-food heyday, I did have to dig deep for a few new pairs of pants – but smaller ones. So far, I’ve lost 25 pounds. My wallet’s never been lighter.

Rekindling her Voter fraud Hard-working child within met by silence citizens leave

The difference of education

Editor: Mother’s Day – what a celebration. Last year, at age 93, my mother had decided that she found no more joy in life. The burden of being in her body was heavy. I flew to her bedside, imagining the worst. Within days, I realized abandonment issues from childhood were very present in her mind. Both my parents were orphans; it was common in Europe back then. Mother had an active life. She had been strong, powerful, productive, creative and could laugh at the worst twist of fate she encountered. Today, despite her depression, she still found some humour about her distress. That’s the cure, I thought, but how to heal that emotional wound? To nurture that child within was my first step. She likes to have her hair brushed; I held her in my arms rocking her gently, massaged her frail body, rubbed her feet to stimulate circulation, held her hand for hours listening to her stories. After weeks of this, her thoughts shifted to more positive ones and some troubling elements vanished completely. I kept holding a vision of her being at peace and content. She still had difficulty imagining a future for herself: “At my age, she would say, life is behind me, only death is in front.” There is a big hurdle we have to jump, and how can I help her through that…? I pondered on the quality of life at her age. Since she was no longer able to do much physically, she found no escape to her mental anguish. Yet her mind is what she beautifully uses – only her frame of reference was not serving her. One day I felt inspired to string her along, weaving an extraordinary, imaginative journey. She responded with humour and laughter. Every day following became an exercise in imagination, spinning dreams of comical realities. Her child within found renewed inspiration. I wondered if it was all the attention or the power of the future through imagination, but her conversation became a lot more selfaffirming. As Christmas approached, I decorated the house and prepared her favourite meals. She rejoiced in the sparkles and the candles, we revived the old songs, blending our voices in love and harmony. When I left in January, I feared she would relapse into her abandonment feelings, but to my surprise a friend decided to pick up the torch and keeps showering her with the same nurturing a daughter would. What a miracle! Yesterday, on the phone, mother said she enjoyed three hours on her balcony soaking up the sun and listening to the birds singing. I am so filled with gratitude and so proud of mother. She found the strength within herself to reach for a new dream of sharing her humour with the beautiful ladies who provide care for her. Happy Mother’s Day, Florence! You are my hero and always will be. Maude Porchet, White Rock

Editor: My Grade 7 class at Southridge School is doing a project called “Making a Difference.” I chose to do my project on child labour. There are children all over the world working long hours, being paid essentially nothing in very poor and harsh conditions. Big companies often use this labour because it is a cheap form of labour. I was shocked when I started my research. So many children never receive any kind of education and are forced to work all day long. When we buy products from billion-dollar companies, we must make an effort to make sure that they are not using child labour. We need to educate ourselves about the companies we buy from. Education is the key to preventing child labour because education will also allow them to break the childlabour cycle. It will allow children to get better jobs when they are older and support their own children and not have to sell them. I also hope the teachers can come to a resolution with the government. Children in this country also need education to help change the world. If we all work together, we can make a difference. Landon Gill, Surrey

An open letter to South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert. After months of investigations, it was confirmed by Elections Canada last week that a campaign to suppress voters in the May 2011 election was linked to a computer used by a Conservative party staffer, and that Elections Canada has received complaints from 200 ridings of misleading phone calls in the lead-up to the election. Many brave people gave their lives to ensure our right to vote, while people all over the world continue to fight for theirs. As an embarrassed Canadian, I submit that the only honourable course of action is to call byelections in every targeted riding. If not, each person who gave their life fighting for our democratic rights will have died in vain. Please do the honourable thing for our country and publicly ask the prime minister to dissolve Parliament or, at minimum, run byelections in all ridings targeted by the cheaters in the last election. If not, your silence makes you complicit. I suggest all Conservative party members refrain from singing “We stand on guard for thee” this coming July 1. R. Benoit, Surrey

Editor: My brother and his 84-year-old wife, being residents and citizens of this great country, never thought twice of sending airline tickets and a covering letter for a visitor’s visa to their grandson and his wife. They were shocked when a Canadian Embassy turned down this visa application, feeling without any justification that they would not honour their visa and stay in this country. This despite this couple being property owners, having professional careers, substantial funds to cover their three-week stay and no criminal convictions. My brother’s pleas to both Ottawa and the Canadian Embassy fell on deaf ears, with the only recourse left for this couple was to reapply. They were once again rejected. Fearing that they would never see their grandchildren and a greatgranddaughter again, my brother and his wife closed their Canadian business and have gone back ‘home’ to live close to their family. Maybe if they had Conrad Black’s connections for fast-tracked visas, they would not have left Canada thoroughly disillusioned with a government that ignores requests of its ordinary hard-working citizens.

Protester Mark Jaccard – a Nobel Peace Prize winner – is removed from the BNSF tracks Saturday in White Rock.

A good day to be a Canadian Editor: Thank you, White Rock police. I was one of 13 people arrested this past Saturday for an act of civil disobedience on the BNSF line by the White Rock pier. I broke the law because I wanted to make a moral statement about the need to stop burning coal in order to protect our future from climate change. I want to express my deep appreciation for the conduct of the White Rock detachment of the RCMP on Saturday. They treated all of us with the utmost

respect and courtesy. They were candid and forthright in their communications throughout the day. They worked hard to ensure public safety while also accommodating our sincere effort to make a political statement through dignified public protest. My interactions with the White Rock detachment and the community this past weekend have increased my appreciation of the strength and resilience of our society and its ability to protect and value free expression. Saturday was a good day to be a Canadian citizen. Kevin Washbrook, Vancouver

Pet memorial statue stolen Dan Ferguson

Staff Reporter

Dianne Lyric was shocked that someone would steal a five-foottall statue of a woman holding a rose from the front yard of her White Rock home. The statue disappeared last week – sometime during the night of April 30 – from the 15500-block of Victoria Avenue, along with a ceramic wishing well and an illuminated sculpture with dragonfly-shaped lights. The loss of the unique statue was the most upsetting, Lyric said. It was a memorial to her beloved cat “Scratchy,� a friendly, cuddly male who passed away at age 15. “I was devastated,� Lyric said. The statue and the other decorative items have stood in front of her house for almost two years, undisturbed. “Nobody ever, ever, stole anything,� Lyric

Posters aid in teen’s return A poster appeal that spread through Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside is being credited with locating a South Surrey teen who had been missing for four days last week. “The posters worked,” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Barb Creighton said Monday.

Eighteen-year-old Blake Shermeto was reported missing May 3, two days after he was last seen leaving his Ocean Park home. Friday, police took their search for the five-foot-10 inch, 161pound youth to the streets of South Surrey and Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, handing out

flyers bearing the teen’s photo. That evening, as a result of the posters, his location was reported to the Vancouver Police Department. Creighton said Shermeto was checked out in hospital, and returned home Saturday morning.

Naturalists society holds walks through the Serpentine

A stroll through the fen Dan Ferguson

O

Staff Reporter

n the first or second Sunday of every month, the White Rock and Surrey Naturalists Society holds an open-to-all-comers walk through the Serpentine Wildlife Area – better known as the Serpentine Fen – in South Surrey. They started it last fall at the invitation of Ducks Unlimited, the people who administer the wildlife management area near King George Boulevard and 44 Avenue. It’s an opportunity to educate people about the true purpose of an area most often used by dog owners taking their pets for a stroll. Dogs are fine both with Ducks Unlimited and the White Rock and Surrey Naturalists Society, so long as they stay leashed. The problem is, many don’t. During the most recent naturalists’ public walk with a Peace Arch News reporter last Sunday, about half the dogs were running free. When society members Al Shulze and Liz Walker spoke to some of the pet owners to explain the rules, some seemed honestly surprised, unaware they were breaking any guidelines. “We really do need to have better signage,” Walker said. The fen is a place where migrating birds stop to rest, and it’s not very restful to be pursued by an inquisitive pet, she added. Now is an especially bad time for dogs to go splashing in the slough, with many birds nesting along the banks. “That is really disruptive,” Shulze said. Walker, the president of the 80-member society, is a former environmental specialist with BC Hydro who didn’t become interested in bird-watching until she retired. Shulze, the secretary of the society, is a

He is particularly good at identifying birds by their calls, instantly picking out a marsh wren from its distinctive rattle during the Sunday walkabout. “There are three types of wrens,” Schulze explained. “This one only appears in marshes.” Walker brought along a birding scope on a tripod – the better to, among other things,

get a close look at a great blue heron that found a perch on the top of a utility pole overlooking the fen. It’s estimated the 71.3 hectares (176 acres) of habitat in the Serpentine Wildlife Area is home to at least 130 different bird species, including herons, Canada geese and loons, along with less well-known varieties like the lesser scaup, gadwalls and Eurasian wigeon, to name a few. And not just birds find refuge. “The extensive freshwater marshes, and see page A13

Walk on June 10 from page A11 the small tidal brackish water marsh are important to wildlife populations, including birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish and insects,” the online site www. greatervancouverparks. com observes. Visitors can get a panoramic view of the area from three covered wooden viewing towers. There is also a covered picnic shelter just off 44 Avenue. The next Serpentine walk is set for Sunday, June 10. If you want to take the walk, which starts at 9 a.m. sharp, it’s important to go to the right starting place. Turn off King George at the Art Knapp Nursery and Garden Centre sign and drive down 44 Avenue all the way to the end where there is a public parking lot. (Do not, as some have done, confuse that with the parking lot next to the two concrete bridges on King George farther north.) The society also meets on the second Thursday of each month (except July and August) at 7:30 p.m. at the Sunnyside Community Hall, 1845 154 St. Membership is $32 for individuals, $44 for families. ■ On Sunday, May 20, the White Rock and Surrey Naturalists Society will host a public workshop at the Serpentine fen, with songbird expert Viveka Ohman sharing her expertise. It will be an outdoor session starting at 8:30 a.m. in the green space next to the parking lot on 44 Avenue. To register, email wrsn@shaw.ca or phone 604-591-7899.

Remembering when: a fire and fall prevention program for older adults White Rock Fire Rescue and White Rock Home Health of Fraser Health have partnered in a comprehensive program developed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). By focusing attention on these two serious issues, NFPA and CDC believe we can make a measurable improvement in the health and well-being of older adults – a rapidly growing segment of the population. Trained staff in both agencies will help to facilitate group presentations and home visits that will help White Rock’s older adults evaluate their safety needs in a fun and easy to remember fire and fall prevention message. For additional information on this program, call White Rock Fire Rescue at 604.541.2121 or visit the City of White Rock’s website at www.whiterockcity.ca.

Mothers Day

Boutique owner donates portion of profits to help exploited women

Opening in her mom’s name has a theme of “liberty in style.� “It’s fresh, romantic and feminine,� Smith says. “We love lace, sexy silhouettes and flirty fashion, but we’re balancing this femininity with edgier looks like the moto jacket and a distressed skinny jean.� The business donates five per cent of purchases to female survivors of sexual exploitation and trafficking who find help at Deborah’s Gate, (deborahsgate. ca), a safe house operated by The Salvation Army. Smith says the initiative, “Betty’s Liberty Closet,� was created to “help give a fresh start to women fleeing the bondage of sex slavery.�

Venturers raise nearly $650 at M&M Meat Shop opening

Barbecue sends Scouts boating The 10th White Rock Scouts will be taking a seven-day boat tour up the B.C. coast this summer, thanks to an outpouring of community support. Nearly $650 was raised for the trip Saturday at the grand opening for the new M&M Meat Shop, 3189 King George Blvd. A group of Venturers between the ages of 14 and 16 took care of the barbecue, feeding a hungry crowd of approximately 150. “People were very supportive and the boys had a great time cooking,� said group commissioner Colleen Sove. “We have to thank the community and M&M Meats for supporting us.� For those who missed out last weekend, M&M Meat Shops across the country will be hosting a barbecue this Saturday (May 12) to raise $1.5 million in one day for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada.

Say Goodbye to Distortion Contributed photo

Tickets on sale for rotary club fundraiser

Lobsterfest returns Good food and wine, live music and dancing, all in a good cause. It must be Lobsterfest 2012. Once again, proceeds from the annual fundraiser by the White Rock Firefighters, Scotiabank and the Rotary Club of White Rock, will go to the Centre for Active Living in White Rock. The dinner and dance will take place Saturday, May 26 at 5:30 p.m. at Eaglequest Coyote Creek Golf and Country Club in Surrey. Organizers expect to raise enough at the event for White Rock Rotary to bring donations for the centre up to the Rotary club’s goal of $250,000. The Centre for Active Living, part of Peace Arch Hospital’s Cardiac Rehabilitation program, helps people with chronic illness such as diabetes, arthritis, and congestive heart failure.

The 12,000-sq.-ft. centre, located at Centennial Park, opened in June 2011 and includes two new fitness rooms, two exercise studios and an education room. As well as a lobster dinner, the event will feature live and silent auctions, draws and dancing to music by Circle of Friends. A ‘wall of wine’ will also be auctioned off to the highest bidder. The wall includes a wide variety of wines, each having a minimum value of $20. Last year’s wall of 57 bottles generated $1,900. Tickets for LobsterFest are $75 each. To purchase, you can can contact Mark Hambrook at 604-671-7498 or email him at mhambrook@shaw.ca. Or contact Liza Muyco by phone at 778-709-0877 or email at whiterockrotary@gmail.com

ENGLAND - 2012 By Elaine Ross - Uniglobe Travelex White Rock th

Not only will England be celebrating the 60 Anniversary of Elizabeth II as Queen with numerous festivities planned for this historic occasion, London will host the rest of the world this summer for the 2012 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games. If this is not incentive enough for Canadians to visit England this memorable year, then maybe we can entice you with a few other hidden gems. Just a short drive or train journey from London is one of England’s most beautiful treasures, “ The Cotswolds.” An area covering over 800 sq. miles of outstanding natural beauty. With an array of Limestone villages dispersing into six counties, (Worcestershire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Gloctershire, Warwickshire and N.E. Somerset) it is also famous for its outstanding countryside and river valleys. Because of its natural beauty it has also been the backdrop for numerous movie sets, including: Pride & Prejudice, Bridget Jones Diary, The Other Boleyn Girl and the hugely successful Harry Potter. The options for vacations in the Cotswolds are immense, including guided or self guided Walking and Cycling tours, golf holidays, or just simply spending your time browsing the quaint villages and market towns. Some sightseeing options include the Worcester Porcelain Museum which houses the world’s largest collection of Worcester Porcelain or a visit to one of the many antique stores. A fun choice for families would be the Cotswold Farm Park near Cheltenham which houses unrivaled rare breeds of Britain’s farm animals. For train enthusiasts, the Gloucester Warwickshire Heritage Railway operates both diesel and steam trains through the countryside. Events: • Cheltham International Music Festival – July 4-15. • Royal International Air Tattoo – July 7-8. • Sudely Castle (on the outskirts of Winchcombe), a summer long event celebrating the 500 year anniversary of the birth of King Henry VIII’s last surviving wife “Queen Katherine Parr”. Various accommodations are available ranging from bed and breakfasts, holiday cottages, hotels, or stay in luxury at the Thornbury Castle. With all the Cotswolds has to offer, let the experienced staff at Uniglobe Travelex help you decide which vacation option may be best suited to you.

B.C. apologizes for Japanese internment Tom Fletcher Black Press

V

ICTORIA – Toshio Suzuki postponed a cancer treatment to be at the B.C. legislature Monday, to witness a formal apology for the province’s role in the internment of Japanese-Canadians during the Second World War. Suzuki was seven years old in the spring of 1942 when he and his family were ordered off their 16-acre strawberry farm in Pitt Meadows and put on a train at Port Hammond. Along with his parents and two older siblings, he worked in the sugar beet fields of Manitoba until six years after the end of the conflict. “The timing is perfect today, because it is the 70th anniversary of the internment,” Suzuki said as he joined other former internees at a reception at the legislature Monday. “It’s also the 30th anniversary of when the constitution was repatriated back to Canada, which includes the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Those two, for me, kind of tie it all together.” As with the assets of other JapaneseCanadians, the Suzuki family farm was sold off and the proceeds went towards the cost of internment camps in the Kootenays and elsewhere. Advanced Education Minister Naomi Yamamoto introduced a motion to apologize Monday, with unanimous support. Yamamoto told the legislature how her father was removed from high school in Vancouver and interned along with 21,000 Canadians of

Japanese descent, 14,000 of whom were born in Canada. Yamamoto said a B.C. government delegation went to Ottawa after Japan’s entry into the war, urging internment of Japanese-Canadian men of military age and seizure of their fishing boats. “The RCMP and senior officials within Canada’s military opposed these recommendations and argued that Japanese-Canadians did not pose a threat to national security,” Yamamoto said. “In spite of this, the B.C. delegation insisted upon the removal of all Japanese-Canadians from the Pacific coast and threatened non-co-operation if the federal government did not heed their demands.” Men were separated from their families and put on work crews for farming or building roads and railways. Women, children and seniors were sent to camps in the B.C. Interior, including Greenwood, Sandon, New Denver and Slocan in the Kootenays. After the war ended, JapaneseCanadians were offered a choice to settle east of the Rocky Mountains or be deported back to Japan. The right to live on the West Coast and vote in Canadian elections was restored to them in 1949. In 1988, the federal government made a formal apology and provided a $300 million compensation package, including $21,000 for each of the 13,000 survivors, $12 million for a Japanese community fund and $24 million to set up the Canadian Race Relations Foundation.

Dump carbon tax, says Bennett Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government should quit pretending it can influence global climate and scrap the carbon tax on fossil fuels as soon as possible, Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett said last week. Bennett called for the move in debate of an NDP motion to relieve hospitals, colleges and universities of the obligation to purchase carbon offsets. The BC Liberal government has already offered rebates to the province’s 60 public school districts. Bennett, a former energy minister, clarified he was expressing his own opinion, and not attempting to speak for the government or BC Liberal party. He said it would take time to phase out the carbon tax, and there would be costs associated with the income-tax cuts that have been phased in at the same time to keep it revenue-neutral to the government. “In fact, I would go a little further and say that the whole policy regime that’s based on the notion that the B.C. government can do something about the amount of human-caused carbon dioxide going into the atmosphere should be rethought – again, in my opinion,” he told the legislature. NDP environment critic Rob Fleming began the debate arguing that universities and hospitals should keep the money paid in carbon offsets to improve the fuel efficiency of their operations. The government has committed to one more increase in the carbon tax on July 1, which will add about a cent to the 5.56-cent tax on a litre of gasoline.

Canadians are living longer and costs for the Old Age Security (OAS) are rising. On April 1, 2023 the Government of Canada plans to start raising the age of eligibility for OAS and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) from 65 to 67.*

What does this mean for you? 54 or older as of March 31, 2012

You may still obtain OAS/GIS at age 65

53 or younger as of March 31, 2012

The age of eligibility for OAS/GIS will change gradually between 2023 and 2029

Starting in July 2013, Canadians who are eligible for, but not yet receiving OAS will have the flexibility to delay receiving it in exchange for a higher monthly amount at a later date.

The number of working-age Canadians per senior is decreasing, placing additional pressure on the OAS program.

Whether it’s mischievous kids or troublesome adults, area resident Gay Taylor isn’t happy. “They’re going to kill the whole forest,” she said. Taylor, who often walks through the park, was told of the strippedbark damage by a friend who also frequents the forest near 140 Street and 70 Avenue. After seeing the damage for herself, she called the City of Surrey’s parks department to find a resolution. Taylor said she was told that without the protection of the bark, the trees will eventually die. “I don’t think people realize they’ll kill the trees,” she said. In total, eight trees have been stripped, some around the entire circumference of the trunk, stretching up as high as seven metres. Taylor said she suspects the perpetrators are acting at night, as the park is so regularly used during daylight hours and someone would have seen suspicious activity and reported it. “I’ve thought about staying out here with some spray or something,” said Taylor, a selfdescribed tree lover. “I’ve asked myself, ‘can I stay out here all night?’” Parks manager Owen Croy said

Surrey resident Gay Taylor stands alongside a Western red cedar in Hazelnut Meadows Park that has been stripped of its bark. that without bark, there’s no way the trees can actively transport water through the roots and it’s only a matter of time before they will die. “It’s a senseless act of vandalism that will result in the death of eight western red cedars,” he said. Croy said stripping the bark off the trees is illegal and could result in a $2,000 fine. A dozen signs were erected throughout the park informing

people that removal of the bark is strictly prohibited and will lead to the death of the trees. Many of the signs have also since been vandalized. Croy said he has stepped up bylaw patrols in the area to deter people from doing any more damage, but said it’s impossible for officers to be there all the time. If you have any information about the vandalized trees, call 604-501-5050.

news Airlines worry passengers may get trapped

PFDs urged for floatplanes Jeff Nagel Black Press

All floatplane passengers and crew should be required to wear personal floatation devices (PFDs) throughout the flight, according to recommendations from the B.C. Coroners Service. The findings – some of which echo suggestions made by Transportation Safety Board officials last spring – come from a coroners’ death panel review into seaplane safety after four crashes on the B.C. coast killed 23 people from 2005 to 2009. The report recommends Transport Canada require PFD use at each stage of the flight by all on board and that seaplanes be equipped with emergency exits allowing rapid escape in water. It says PFDs stored under a seat are extremely hard to retrieve and don in the critical seconds after a crash when occupants are trying to escape a submerged aircraft. But commercial floatplane operators are divided on the use of life vests throughout flights. Harbour Air/ Westcoast Air executive vice-president Randy Wright said he and others in the industry fear a panicked

Tom Glenn drowned in a floatplane crash in 2009. passenger might inflate a PFD inside a submerged plane, trapping himself and others. “You’ve got to get people out with the life jackets and without inflating it inside or they’ll trap themselves,� he said. Current PFDs in use would not hold up to continuous wear either, the panel heard. But the report argues those concerns can be addressed and don’t detract from the overall life-saving potential of mandatory life vest use. Transport Canada has the final say on whether PFD use

would be required and Wright said he is working with federal authorities on how it might be done. Recommendations also call for other upgrades, including satellite tracking systems and power shut-off switches to reduce the chance of fire after a crash. Wright said Harbour Air has already implemented many recommendations, including lighted strips leading to exits and pop-out windows to aid escape. More than 200 people died in a total of 111 fatal plane crashes in

B.C. during the 2000s. Commercial flights accounted for more than a third of the incidents. Three of the four crashes considered in the review involved flights that were carrying workers to remote job sites on the coast. Five died in a crash in the Knight Inlet area in 2005, another five perished in 2008 when a plane en route to a logging operation hit a steep slope near Port Hardy and another seven heading that same year to a worksite at Toba Inlet died when their plane crashed at South Thormanby Island. In 2009, six died when a commercial flight hit the water at Lyall Harbour on Saturna Island. The pilot and a seventh passenger – White Rock’s Barb Glenn – escaped from that rapidly sinking plane, but the other occupants, including Glenn’s husband, Tom, drowned inside.

news Hospital jobs privatized

Transcription jobs to be cut Jeff Nagel Black Press

Health authorities plan to save $3 million by privatizing the jobs of 130 medical transcriptionists who work in Abbotsford, New Westminster and downtown Vancouver. The move has angered the Hospital Employees’ Union, which argues outsourcing the work will put sensitive patient information in less secure hands because the bidding firms use employees who work from their homes. “We have concerns that virtually all patient records will be transcribed by these subcontractors in private homes on personal computers anywhere in the country,” HEU spokesman Mike Old said. Doctors dictate findings on patients’ conditions, test results and other information, which is then sent to transcriptionists to be added to the health record system. Lower Mainland health authorities already outsource nearly half their transcription to Ontario-based Accentus and the union says its home-based subcontractors must log twice as many hours to earn the same pay as local HEU members, with fewer benefits. Yoel Robens-Paradise, executive director for Lower Mainland health information management at Providence Health Care, denies there is any security risk and noted the system has been in use for years. The successful bidder – to be picked by September – would be bound by B.C. privacy law and its employees would work on secure online data servers. “The software is such that it doesn’t leave any patient information on people’s computers,” Robens-Paradise said. “The information is not going to be in bits and pieces in somebody’s bedroom.” None of the work can leave Canada, he said, adding there is no discernible difference in quality and accuracy

between private and in-house transcription. Robens-Paradise said the shift is also part of a move to replace duplicate dictation software systems, some of which are older and don’t make best use of speech recognition technology. Private firms with more distributed workers can complete transcription faster than a fixed number of in-house staff, he said, and the shift will significantly cut transcription costs from the current $14 million annually. “We can save $3 million in taxpayers’ money and have that go back into providing direct care in the health system,” he said.

B.C. eyes motorcycle limits Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government has followed through on its promise to regulate motorcycle helmets, with restrictions on the horsepower available to new riders coming in the next year. Justice Minister Shirley Bond announced last week that the new helmet regulation takes effect June 1, requiring riders to wear helmets that meet Canadian and international safety standards. Many of the minimal-coverage “beanie” helmets favoured by macho bikers will soon be eligible for a $138 ticket. Regulations will also require passengers to have their feet on

Denise Lodge wants restrictions. foot pegs or floorboards while riding. Children who can’t reach the foot pegs will no longer be allowed as passengers, and drivers will be subject to tickets for that as well. Bond said restrictions will be developed by next spring that will set a limit on the horsepower of

motorcycles used by new riders. The new rule will be an extension of the graduated licence restrictions for all new drivers. The power restrictions were sought by Denise Lodge, who began lobbying for changes after her son Corey died in a crash in 2005. His accident on Highway 1 on Vancouver Island came the day after getting a learner’s permit and buying a modified, high-speed motorcycle. “I kept saying, if only he didn’t have such a powerful bike,” said Lodge, struggling to maintain her composure as she spoke at a news conference in Victoria. “If he only had the training. If only he had experience.”

Crown prosecutors want a young Surrey man sentenced to four months in prison for his role in last June’s Stanley Cup riot in downtown Vancouver. Emmanuel Alviar, 20, appeared in Vancouver Provincial Court last week after pleading guilty in March to charges of mischief and participating in a riot. He told the court he’s “sorry” for helping incite the crowd during the night of mayhem after the Vancouver Canucks lost the Stanley Cup to the Boston Bruins. “I want to apologize to the people of Vancouver for my part in the riot,” Alviar said in court. “Instead of trying to keep the peace, I added to the chaos.” Damage to property on the night of the riot, which saw vehicles flipped and burned and window fronts smashed, is estimated at $3 million. Alviar’s image appeared on a website a month after the riot and he turned himself in to police soon after. Video evidence released in court showed Alviar pushing against a car that other rioters later flipped and throwing a barricade at a store window. His lawyer suggested police may not have identified or bothered to charge Alviar had he not stepped

Defence asked for a one-year conditional sentence to be served in the community, noting Alviar is a first-time offender. “The Crown and the court take into account the fact an individual’s actions aren’t necessarily isolated from the actions of the group as a whole,” Crown counsel spokesman Neil MacKenzie told reporters outside court.

Ryan Dickinson, who got 17 months in jail less 3½ months credit for time served. Dickinson had a past record of assault and Alviar’s lawyer argued his client’s actions were minor in comparison.

news TransLink scrambles to get ticket machines to take new coins

Light loonies unreadable Jeff Nagel Black Press

New, lighter–weight loonies and toonies just issued by the Royal Canadian Mint can’t be read by TransLink’s ticket vending machines. But transit officials say passengers who normally pay with cash must make sure they use older coins or find other ways to pay until a fix is made to ticket vending machines. TransLink spokesman Drew Snider said it’s expected a solu-

tion can be found by about May 12. He said passengers caught without the right fare but newly issued coins in their pocket won’t get a break. “No, there’s really no grounds for leniency,� he said. “There’s so many other different ways of doing it.� Ticket–dispensing machines at Canada Line stations only need a software upgrade, while ones on the Expo and Millennium lines need a hardware change.

Snider said providers will first work to make sure at least one machine in each station accepts the new coins before upgrading the rest. TransLink says passengers can use debit or credit cards at stations or buy pre-paid FareSaver tickets instead of using cash. Snider said fareboxes on buses already accept the new coins. Changes are also underway to retool city-run pay parking meters, vending machines and coin laundry machines.

news Little progress on suicide-prevention systems for local spans

Tired of the Home OfÀce?

Bridge barriers slow to come Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C.’s transportation ministry now says it’s starting to design suicide-prevention barriers for the Ironworkers’ Memorial Bridge, and it is studying the option for the Lions Gate Bridge. But there are no plans to install them on other spans, despite a recommendation more than three years ago from the B.C. Coroners Service that they be added to five Metro Vancouver bridges. Those recommendations, released in late 2008 after a review of youth suicides, called for anti-suicide barriers on the two North Shore bridges, as well as the Burrard, Granville and Pattullo bridges. At least a dozen distressed people die each year jumping from Lower Mainland bridges. Construction of the Ironworkers barrier should begin next year, Transportation Minister Blair

Anti-suicide barriers were recommended for the Patullo Bridge in 2008. Lekstrom said, but it’s not clear if one will go up on the Lions Gate. Instead, six crisis phones were installed on the Lions Gate in 2009 and another six were installed this March on the Ironworkers. Callers who pick up those phones are connected to crisis counsellors who answer around the clock. So far, at least 25 calls to the crisis line from the Lions Gate have allowed counsellors to intervene in potential suicide attempts. Of the 25 calls, 15 were made by at-risk people and 10 by intervening bystanders. Crisis call boxes may be added at Surrey’s

Pattullo Bridge as well, according to TransLink spokesman Drew Snider, who said the idea is under discussion. Patullo currently only has a sign indicating a crisisline number to call. Snider said there are no plans to retrofit the Pattullo to add suicide barriers because the bridge is slated to be replaced by 2018 and adding a barrier would make the sidewalk dangerously narrow. The only bridge that has a suicide barrier is TransLink’s Golden Ears Bridge joining Surrey and Maple Ridge. It has vertical bars that make it much harder to climb up and over the railing, in accordance with a

revised design standard requiring barriers on new bridges since 2004.

MOTHER’S DAY

New focus would be on threats to productive fisheries

Salmon inquiry weighs risks Black Press

The Cohen Inquiry into the Fraser River’s troubled sockeye salmon stocks is shifting gears to consider lastminute arguments about controversial proposed reforms to the federal Fisheries Act. Participants at the inquiry have been given until May 14 to table their submissions on the impact of the changes that critics say will gut the law that protects fish habitat. “What commission counsel has done is said if something wasn’t in your final submissions that this new bill impacts, you’re welcome to make another submission and we’ll look at those,” inquiry spokesperson Carla Shore said. The Conservative government’s budget implementation bill includes the contentious amendments to the Fisheries Act. If passed, the clause protecting fish habitat by banning “harmful alteration, disruption and destruction” of fish habitat will be removed and replaced with one that outlaws “serious harm” to stocks fished by commercial, recreational or aboriginal users. Federal officials have described it as a more practical approach that focuses more on real threats to productive fisheries and less on blanket protection of riparian ecosystems. No longer would authorization always be required to disrupt any fish habitat, for example, if the planned work doesn’t affect stocks used by any fisheries. Watershed Watch Salmon Society executive director Craig Orr, who chairs a coalition of conservation groups with standing at the inquiry, said he and other participants will definitely file their concerns. “It raises the threshold for what is considered to be serious harm to fish,” he said. “Without a doubt we all think this really does strike at the heart of what Cohen should be considering. It has huge implications to our ability to protect salmon.” Orr said he’s concerned the changes

could mean that penalties would only be triggered if fish are killed or there is permanent harm to habitat. The inquiry had already heard testimony that habitat protection laws aren’t well enough enforced as well as questions about the effectiveness of the no-net loss policy – now to be reviewed – that requires habitat lost to development be offset with improvements elsewhere.

arts & entertainment …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Lucy Wang slated to play at University of Washington’s Kane Hall

South Surrey violinist to perform in Seattle Alex Browne

W

Arts Reporter

hen a Seattle audience hears South Surrey’s Lucy Wang for the first time May 19, at the University of Washington’s Kane Hall, they will doubtless be impressed by a young violinist of extraordinary talent and technical virtuosity. It’s likely they’ll also be struck by the maturity and aplomb of the 15-year-old instrumentalist, who will be performing the first movement of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D major with the Philharmonia Northwest, under the direction of Seattle Symphony assistant conductor Eric Garcia, as one of the 2012 Concerto Division winners in the Seattle Young Artists Competition. To be among six winners out of 21 finalists in the prestigious contest – which draws entries from all over the Pacific Northwest – is no mean feat, and well worthy of celebration. But Wang’s technical prowess, tonal mastery and stage presence can come as no surprise to anyone who has seen her work as soloist or co-concertmaster with the Semiahmoo Strings, under the direction of her teacher, Carla Birston (she also studies with Gerald Stanick). Her breathtaking performances as soloist for the Strings’ performances of Sarasate’s Zigeunerweisen, in June 2011, and Saint-Saens’ Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, in January of this year, stunned both the general public and the professional musicians filling the instrumental roles not covered by the youth ensemble. What might surprise local audiences who’ve seen her in such roles – or anyone who’s read her lengthy resumé of music competition and festival wins (the regional Kiwanis festivals, the Burnaby Clef festival, the Canadian Music Competion, in which she advanced to the national finals two years running) is how down-toearth, and dryly humourous, the Shanghai-born Wang can be. Though she’s a straight–A student at Pacific Academy, and her violin studies (started at age three) have

South Surrey violinist, Lucy Wang, will make her debut performance in front of a Seattle audience on May 19 at the University of Washington. brought her first-class honours with distinction in the Associate of the Royal Conservatory exam, Wang also has a finely-tuned sense of the ridiculous in life, as her recollections of her Seattle Young Artists win revealed. On the day of the finals in Seattle, March 24, Wang had some unexpected distractions, she noted. Due to a miscommunication, she and her parents had only found out she was called back for the finals at 9 p.m. the night before. After a fast scramble to book a hotel on the Internet, they were on the road to Seattle by 9:30 p.m. Playing the first movement of the Tchaikovsky concerto is an 18-minute marathon of concentration at the best of times, but Wang faced some unusual challenges the next day. “I felt good when I was practising for it,” said Wang. “But when I started playing, things went wrong. “It was kind of weird. The shoulder strap of my dress started

sliding off, and then two corners of my violin’s shoulder rest came off. I was playing standing rigid on stage!” Fortunately, said Wang, the shoulder rest somehow stayed in place and a wardrobe malfunction never quite occurred. But there were other disruptions. During the preliminary round of the competition, Wang said, the adjudicators had cut off the performance at the extended cadenza (solo interpolation) in the piece, but, having been called back for the final round, she was expecting to play through to the end. “I was playing the cadenza and they cut me off again,” she said, adding the interruption led to an extended search through the score for a suitable pick-up point. “That was kind of awkward. I think they did it on purpose, to see if I could hit it. Oh well, I hit it.” But Wang said she wasn’t feeling that she’d given her

best performance, under the circumstances. “I thought, okay, so many things went wrong,” she said. “Okay, girl, let’s go have some ice cream.” It was only when she and her parents had driven back to the Canada-U.S. border that Wang’s mom, Emily, received a call on her cellphone from the piano accompanist who had worked with Wang for the competition performances. “She said, ‘Oh hi, this is Connie – I just wanted to let you know that Lucy is one of the winners,” Emily said. The only downside of the lowkey way she found out she’d won, said Wang, is that she didn’t receive any feedback from the adjudicator. “I was hoping I would,” she said. “I mean, why did you pick me?” Among other accomplishments this year, Wang has won full scholarships to two summer programs, the String Academy at the University of Indiana and the

National Arts Centre Orchestra Young Artists program led by Pinchas Zukerman. Unfortunately, the two conflict, which makes it likely she will choose the latter. Although she enjoys soloing, playing with the Semiahmoo Strings ensemble continues to be a very valuable experience, she said. “You learn how to listen to people and you really have to know how to blend,” she said, adding that she also has a lot of fun rotating concertmaster chores with her Strings colleague, Kierah Raymond. “It’s a way to exercise leadership, and you have to be able to cue everyone, to make it clear ‘we’re coming in here’. “Also, playing in the orchestra – well, sometimes I rush. I think it’s my youth. I like to be fast in everything – let’s go faster! “People say, ‘Lucy - no!’” she added, with a smile. “I hear it all the time.”

arts & entertainment Donny Chen will sing at the Bell Performing Arts Centre

Tenor to perform May 13 Alex Browne Arts Reporter

For those seeking a classical touch for Mother’s Day entertainment, this Sunday’s concert by tenor Donny Chen may be just the ticket. Chen, 19, will perform in recital May 13 at 7 p.m. at the Bell Performing Arts Centre, 6250 144 St. in Surrey. He said his repertoire will include a mixture of classical opera arias and Broadway-style musical songs – backed by a 50-piece orchestra directed by Bujar Llapaj – and he’s hoping his passion for music will help inspire people to have a positive outlook on life. “This is the first orchestra I’ve worked with,” noted the singer, who studies with well-known singer and teacher Ariel Sung. “I’ve rehearsed with the orchestra and it sounds great – it’s a completely different experience from working with a piano.” Audience members will find some familiar favourites in his selections from such musicals as Les Miserables and Fiddler on the

Lion judged best in zone Alex Browne Arts Reporter

White Rock Players Club’s production of The Lion In Winter was judged top in a field of three in last week’s Theatre B.C. Greater Vancouver Zone festival at the Coast Capital Playhouse. Adjudicator Scott Swan selected the play – James Goldman’s dark comedy of bitter family rivalries in the court of medieval monarch Henry II, directed by Dale Kelly – as “outstanding production” of the festival at Sunday’s awards gala. That means it will go on to Theatre B.C.’s Mainstage Festival, June 30 to July 7 in Kamloops, with a chance to be judged best community theatre production in B.C. The show, also singled out as “outstanding visual presentation,” beat the Vagabond Players’ Kitchen Witches, directed by Jacquollyne Keath in New Westminster, and Raving Theatre’s Home Again, written and directed by David Blue in Vancouver. In a move that has provoked some debate online, Swan, a professional theatre director and instructor, chose not to give individual awards for ‘best’ in other categories, instead recognizing individuals for “outstanding contributions.” Individuals recognized in the

leading-role category in The Lion In Winter included Ben Odberg and Lori Tych, who were joined by Nigel Vonas and Sue Sparlin for Home Again. Elyse Maloway was cited in the supportingplayer category, along with Matthew Fedorowicz and James Rha for Home Again, and Ryan J. Johnson for Kitchen Witches. Both Kelly and Blue were cited for “outstanding contribution by a director.” Other Lion In Winter cast members – Colin Fotherby, who battled in medieval armour, and Rosemary Schuster, Marlowe Ferris and Reilly Olexson, who made scene changes an integral part of the action – were recognized for “outstanding contribution by an actor,” along with the Kitchen Witches’ Howard Dai and Rob Larson. George Kopf, of Kitchen Witches, was recognized for “outstanding contribution by an audience member.” Kitchen Witches, by Caroline Smith, is a comedy about duelling television cooking show hosts, while Home Again is a drama about a man’s return to his Prairie homewtown for his father’s funeral, 18 years after his parents disowned him because they discovered he was gay.

Jill Tunbridge preps for a past Mother’s Day show.

Flamenco Del Mar returns

Annual show set for May 13 It’s a Peninsula tradition – and it’s also one of the more relaxing ways to celebrate ‘mom’. The annual Mother’s Day afternoon show by dance troupe Flamenco del Mar, returns to Ocean Park Community Hall (1577 128 St.) this Sunday, May 13, 3-5 p.m. An exhibition of the spirited traditional Spanish dance and music style, the show will highlight adult members of the troupe as well as some of the youngest budding talents, under the direction of Flamenco del Mar founder Jill Tunbridge. “I used to work in the restaurant business, and Mother’s Day can be such a brutal day to take ‘mom’ out,” Tunbridge said. “This is a chance to have dessert and coffee and watch the show – and it’s really familyfriendly.” The family feeling also extends to an unusual cross-cultural

aspect of this year’s show – the inclusion of two First Nations pow wow dancers who just happen to be the half-brother and halfsister of one of the youngest Flamenco del Mar members, Onadee McKenna. “When I saw them dance in my studio I was just so impressed,” Tunbridge said. “I never realized how hypnotic the dance is, the rhythm and going into the circle. You can’t really get it unless you get swept up in the zone – which is very much like Flamenco. There is definitely common ground there – it’s so cool.” Admission, which includes coffee or tea and dessert, is $12 ($5 for children five and under). Tickets are available from Christopher’s Gift Gallery in Ocean Park, by calling 604-5422096 or by emailing flamencotickets@ hotmail.com For more, visit www. flamencodelmar.com

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Coach hopeful baseball team’s fortunes will turn around soon

Tritons’ offensive struggles continue Nick Greenizan

T

Sports Reporter

he beginning of the BC Premier Baseball League season has not gone according to plan for the White Rock Tritons. After languishing near the bottom of the standings the last two years – they missed the playoffs by one game in 2011 – the under-18 ball club was expected to vie for not only a playoff spot this spring, but a title. And while there’s still plenty of time left to get things turned around, the Tritons are not sitting where they thought they’d be, with a 5-12 win-loss record, good for 11th in the 13-team circuit. Last weekend, White Rock lost all four games they played – all on the road – to the North Shore Twins and Victoria Mariners. Tuesday, they fell 9-3 to the Vancouver Cannons. “It’s frustrating, that’s for sure. It’s the same old story every game – we can’t swing the bat,” said Tritons coach Russ Smithson. “Our defence has been pretty good, our pitching has been great… the bats just haven’t come around yet.” Despite the five-game losing streak, the team’s pitchers, as Smithson suggests, fared fairly well on the mound last weekend; Alex Webb struck out eight and allowed just two runs in the first loss to the Twins, and Max Koltai and Nathan Trueblood combined for five strikeouts and just two earned-runs allowed in Game 2. And the following day in Victoria, Joel Lamont went the distance in the first game, and Adam Shumka, who leads the team with three wins, pitched five-and-two-thirds innings in the nightcap, and still has just a 2.07 earned-run average on the season. But while the pitchers have been the team’s strength, the team has struggled at the plate. Just two White Rock position players are hitting over .250. Catcher Evan Douglas is batting .314 so far this year, which puts him 22nd in the league, while centre-fielder Jackson Temple’s average sits at .262. Last weekend, in fact, was something of a microcosm of the Tritons’ season to date – they scored just four runs in four games, and were shutout 2-0 with Webb on the hill Saturday. “We’re trying to win every game 1-0, but that’s not going to get the job done at this level,” Smithson said. “We’re only hitting .200 as a team, and that’s

White Rock Tritons catcher Brett Walker (right) and his teammates have been good defensively this season, but a lack of offence is hurting the team’s chances of moving into a top-eight playoff position in the BC Premier Baseball League. White Rock is 5-12 this season. just not acceptable. The ball’s just not falling for us.” For most PBL squads, offence is the last thing to come around, Smithson cautioned, and despite the minimal offensive thrust thus far, he’s confident his club will eventually start hitting on a more consistent basis. “Baseball’s funny that way. Sometimes you can pound the ball and not get any hits out of it, and other times you can feel like you’re not hitting well, and end up getting on base every time,” he said. “But there’s too many senior guys on this team for it to last all season. It’s going to come, there’s no doubt it’ll come.”

There have been positives, despite the low output. Temple is tied for the league lead in home runs with two – former White Rock Little Leaguer Nick Rutckyj, who now plays for the Langley Blaze, also has a pair of round-trippers – and is third in RBI. “He’s struggling, batting average-wise, but he’s hitting the ball hard, and at least his outs are producing runs for us,” Smithson said. While Smithson was reluctant to use the schedule as an excuse, the fact remains that the Tritons have, so far, played just two of 17 games on home turf; a potential third game was rained out last month. And while the quirky schedule has made life

more difficult for the Tritons, Smithson was hopeful the club could take advantage of the calendar later in the season, when they play 12 of 14 games – including 10 straight – in the friendly confines of South Surrey Athletic Park. “It has been a really tough, strange, schedule – it’s just one of those things. But hopefully by the time we get home, our bats will heat up,” he said. “We can still get into a playoff spot, but we are pretty much at the point where we need to win three of every four games (every weekend). We do that a couple times, and we’re right back in it.”

OBITUARIES

After a long struggle with emphysema, Kay passed away peacefully at Peace Arch Hospital with her loving family by her side. A long time resident of South Surrey, this loving wife, mother, grandmother and true friend will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Kay is survived by her loving daughter Susan (John) Gower and her adoring grandchildren Elisha and Jamie Iggulden. She is also survived by her sisters Roberta, Marian, Lois and her sister-in-law Audree and many nieces and nephews. Kay is preceded in death by her cherished son Jimmy in 1966 and Jim, her devoted husband of 63 years in 2009. They are all together now and may they rest in peace. At Kay’s request there will be no memorial service, but her family and friends will have many special times together, celebrating her life and sharing good memories of this loving and caring woman.

DON CARR Our larger than life husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend, lost his battle with cancer on May 1st, 2012 in Campbell River,BC,comforted by the loving embrace of his family. Our special guy was born, June 7, 1939 and spent his early years in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Don ultimately made his home in White Rock, BC, where he spent 30 years with his loving wife and their two sons. He is survived by his wife Sherry, sons Jason and Chris, daughter in law Brandi, and granddaughters Mackenzie and Riley. Don spent 17 years with General Motors Corporation where he made lifelong friends before venturing into business for himself, establishing Don Carr Chev Olds in South Surrey/White Rock for 30 years. Don was a wellrespected businessman who took pride in giving back to the community. Donner was a “character” as many of you know only too well, but beneath that bluster, was a heart that let you know you were in the presence of a gentle giant. Don lived life to the fullest and then some. He experienced many adventures with friends and family always entertaining everyone with his elaborate storytelling. He spent several years being a snowbird playing golf with his Palm Desert friends and watching his Nascar. He and wife Sherry (Cupcake) retired three years ago and moved to their ocean front dream home in Campbell River. Please join us in a Grey Goose toast to a remarkable man who will never be forgotten. A Celebration of Life will be held at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre, 14831 28th Avenue, Surrey on Tuesday, May 15, 2012 at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers please donate in memory of Don Carr, go to http://bccancerfoundation.com Search for the Don Carr fundraising page.

Community feel important when choosing a home

Feeling at home in a low-rise building When you’re looking for a home, feeling welcome in the community is often a big part of the puzzle. While high-rise architecture is popular, perhaps a low-rise development might be just what you’re looking for. “People find comfort in the smaller scale,” says Andrew Emmerson of GBL Architects. “That’s not to say there won’t still be high-rises ... but (low-rises) feel more homey to some.” One of the positive things about living in a smaller development is that you can more easily get to know your neighbours. “You’re sharing amenities with 50 instead of 500,” Emmerson says. “Low-

rise buildings are more personable in that regard.” That idea is being tested with Collection 45, an exclusive development that features 45 studio, one- and twobedroom suites on six floors in the Mount Pleasant area of Vancouver, with the bottom floor holding commercial space. “It’s not your typical cookie-cutter development,” says Emmerson. The neighbourhood is a blend of historic and modern, with restaurants, shopping and recreation all within walking distance. For more information, visit collection45.com or call 604-569-1555.

lend an incredible sense of space and elegance to every home, while the bathrooms are made for relaxation. His-and-hers sinks, glass shower stalls and hand-set tile flooring all combine to make for what really is the perfect bathroom. They also include some special features that are sure to impress, such as a powder room on the main floor and two parking spaces with every home. “Many of our buyers have been asking for a bathroom on the main level,” says Kasahara. “We were able to achieve that in all of these floorplans,

and expect it to be a huge selling feature here at Bishop Creek.” The private garages on every home feature a bonus room off of them, which Kasahara says can be used as extra storage space or a media room. “We call it the ‘Man Cave’,” he says, adding that it’s “the perfect space for a big-screen TV, couch and bar fridge.” The townhomes are built in a Craftsman style, with wood and brick accents and plenty of outdoor space, including private decks and patios. The development itself includes a landscaped park with a playground, and is bordered by the Bishop Creek itself and Harold Bishop Elementary School. The location also offers easy access to Highway 1. The sales centre will open this summer, and buyers will be able to take possession before the next school year starts. Homes at Bishop Creek start in the mid $300,000s. For more information, visit www.bluetreehomes.ca or call 604588-0005.

‘An exceptional home-buying experience’

Finding the perfect home easy at Bishop Creek by Kerry Vital

Bluetree Homes prides itself on being “your friendly neighbourhood builder,” and with their newest development, Bluetree Homes at Bishop Creek, they’re continuing to create a reputation for beautiful homes suitable for any homeowner. “We don’t just build homes; we promise to build your trust, answer your questions and make buying your home relaxed and stress-free,” says Bluetree general manager of sales and marketing Yosh Kasahara. “We aim to deliver an exceptional home-buying experience, from start to finish, and provide the outstanding homeowner care that our company is so well-known for.” Lead by ParkLane Homes’ Chief Operating Officer Ben Taddei, Bluetree is aiming to set the standard for great home-buying experiences. ParkLane

has over 30 years of experience in the home-building market, and was recently the recipient of eight 2012 Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association Ovation Awards for excellence in new home design. The 56 townhomes at Bishop Creek come in a variety of two- and threebedroom floorplans, ranging from 1,528 to 1,709 square feet. Located just minutes from Guildford Town Centre, homeowners are able to live in a quiet family-friendly neighbourhood while still being close to everyday amenities. Surrounded by parkland, the homes at Bishop Creek are full of the beautiful amenities that Bluetree is known for, including stone countertops complemented by a hand-set tile backsplash, stainless-steel appliances and shaker-style wood cabinetry with brushed nickel hardware in the kitchen. The nine-foot ceilings and laminate hardwood flooring on the main floor

We don’t just build homes; we promise to build your trust, answer your questions and make buying your home relaxed and stress-free,” says Bluetree general manager of sales and marketing Yosh Kashara.

This October, the City of Surrey will be changing our curbside waste collection service as part of a Metro Vancouver regional goal to achieve 70% annual waste diversion by 2015. Surrey is taking this one step further. We’re planning to collect your kitchen and yard waste separately so we can convert it into carbon neutral fuel.
