Cloverdale BIA fears South Surrey gaming bid would ‘cannibalize’ Fraser Downs’ ability to survive

Casino shuffle splits businesses’ views Kevin Diakiw Black Press

B.C.’s gaming group now says a new casino in South Surrey has a green light, depending on approval of city council. But the plan is receiving mixed reviews from neighbouring business groups.

Black Press first reported May 30 that the city, Gateway Gaming and Entertainment and the provincial lottery corporation were working on plans to shut down a casino at 7093 King George Blvd. in Newton in favour of a $100-million yet-to-be built facility in South Surrey at 10 Avenue and 168 Street.

On Thursday, Jim Lightbody, BC Lottery Corporation’s vice-president of Casino and Community Gaming told the Surrey Board of Trade the South Surrey casino could be up and running by 2014, if council approves the plan. But while the Surrey Board of Trade (SBOT)

has announced support for the proposal, the Cloverdale and District Chamber of Commerce has been less enthusiastic, voting unanimously at their last meeting to “support Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino as the primary casino in Surrey.” see page 4

Neighbours fear townhouse development would exacerbate problems

Residents hold city responsible for future floods Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Water fills a basement on development site.

Residents of a White Rock neighbourhood that has been plagued by flooding for several years – most recently about two weeks ago – are concerned a townhouse project proposed for a property that has been central in the issue will only make things worse. And at least one group has given notice that residents will hold the city responsible if further water damage results from construction. Gale Dawson, strata president at The Patterson building at 1280 Merklin St., confirmed Wednesday that a letter from her

The issue noted is unrelated to the application currently before the city, which has to do with rezoning, he said. At the same time, Stanton assured the residents that the city will demand proof that the problem has been mitigated as part of requirements for a demolition permit. “It can and will be addressed in the future… regardless of the zoning,” he said. The proposal – which was back on the land-use agenda for Monday (after Peace Arch News’ deadline) – is for a two-building, seven-unit strata townhouse development. see page 2

group’s lawyer was delivered to city hall June 18, just hours before the Roper Avenue project in question was to be discussed at a land-use committee meeting. The letter warns the city that failure to fully address the problem, which appears to stem from an underground stream, “may be the basis for an action of negligence,” she said. But Paul Stanton, the city’s director of planning and development services, told residents who came out for last week’s land-use meeting – which was abruptly cancelled due to lack of quorum – that the letter put the city on notice “for the wrong reasons.”

news Ending bonus pay proves harder than anticipated for BC Liberals

BC Conservatives call for Cadieux’s job Alex Browne Staff Reporter

BC Conservative leader John Cummins is calling for the resignation of Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux – or, failing that, withdrawal of apparent pay raises to Community Living B.C. executives. After it was revealed last fall that the executives were receiving bonuses tied to meeting performance goals – a case of bad optics at a time when CLBC clients with special needs or developmental disabilities were having services cut back – Cadieux promised an end to the bonus system. Outrage was voiced again last week when it was learned the executives are no longer

receiving the bonuses – they’ve been getting pay hikes of up to 8.6 per cent instead. Among the flak was a rocket from Darryl Walker, president of the BC Government and Service Employees Union, whose community service workers have not had a raise in three years, and whose members were taking a strike vote last week. Cadieux, BC Liberal MLA for SurreyPanorama, and Premier Christy Clark, who defended the pay increases, have both gone on record that the term ‘bonus’ was a misnomer in context of the executives’ compensation. The so-called bonuses were, they now say, part of the executives’ base salary that was being held back until goals were met.

Cadieux has also said she was not Cummins said he does not accept aware of how the executives’ comthe ‘holdback’ explanation, describpensation was structured when she ing such an approach to compensapromised to abolish bonuses last fall. tion as “exceptionally strange and That doesn’t wash with Cummins, rare” in an environment that is not who said Monday that the issue was supposed to be driven by profit. a case of “failed sleight-of-hand,” that “You’re either paid or you’re could, logically, lead to the firing of a not paid.

Schools to take look at homophobia Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Lunch-hour streakers’ punishment criticized by parents

Grads get dressing down over prank Kevin Diakiw Black Press

The parents of eight boys who streaked through Cloverdale’s Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary say their kids are facing punishment that far exceeds their crime. On June 14, during the lunch hour, the senior students dropped their clothes and ran through the school naked. Such shenanigans, according to some parents, have become a traditional graduation prank at the school. But principal Allan Buggie, who has been at the school for two years, is not turning the other cheek. He suspended the students for three days and told them they were not allowed to show up to tomorrow’s (Wednesday’s) capand-gown Grade 12 commencement ceremonies.

One of the streakers, Dwight Lilly, 17, and his mother, Debby, are not happy with the punishment meted out by the school principal. “He just said his mind is made up. It’s not changing, and that’s the way it’s going to be,” Debby Lilly said. “He said there are no pranks at his school.” She said the consequences represent a new level of punishment for the offence. “My oldest son did it three years ago,” Lilly said, adding that he received a three-day suspension and “that was it.” There is one boy who won a scholarship, but won’t have the honour of receiving it at commencement, Lilly added. Surrey School District spokesperson Doug Strachan said there’s no specific district policy regarding graduation pranks, but there are

rules of conduct for staff and students. He said schools set out clear expectations about grad pranks, because Surrey – as in other districts – has had incidences where the pranks have been harmful. “I can tell you, commencements have been the stakes at other schools where pranks have occurred,” Strachan said. “Certainly having seniors streak through a school where there are also 13-year-old girls in hallways, I’m sure there would be students and parents at that grade level that would have concerns about that,” Strachan said. Lilly said there are parents whose kids weren’t involved who will be passing on the commencement out of protest. Lord Tweedsmuir’s principal could not be reached for comment.

The Surrey Board of Education will form a working group in the fall to examine how best to address homophobia in schools. The move came Thursday evening after presentations from two high school students and representatives from the Surrey Teachers’ Association and CUPE local 728, which represents school support staff. The speakers were asking specifically for a standalone antihomophobia policy similar to those that have now been adopted by 18 other B.C. school districts. However, also on the agenda for the evening were amendments to Surrey’s current safe and caring schools policy and anti-discrimination and human rights policy to include homophobia. The board Anthony Hope approved the lobbied district changes to existing guidelines, with the exception of trustee Charlene Dobie, who wanted time for district staff to consider them in light of issues raised by Thursday’s speakers. But trustee Laurie Larsen said the “global policy” was a needed first step, and put forth a motion suggesting the working group convene at the beginning of the new school year to further study issues surrounding homophobia. For Michaela Milne, a Grade 12 student at Tamanawis Secondary who was one of the student speakers, the move by the board was a step in the right direction. “I hope they will eventually adopt a standalone policy,” she said. “I have to trust that the trustees will realize it’s about saving lives.” Grade 9 student Anthony Hope, who made a presentation to trustees, agreed and said the response was better than he expected. “A working group is a good start. It should involve the community as well as students,” he said.

‘We need something first-class here’ from page 1 The stand – which was echoed by the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association – is outlined in a June 20 letter to Lightbody from chamber president Brian Young. “The business community in Cloverdale is highly dependent on this anchor to bring in, and keep the consumers in Cloverdale,” Young writes, requesting a meeting with BCLC as soon as possible to address its concerns “and to ensure that you are well aware of the impact that your decisions will have on our business community.” Cloverdale BIA president J. Lyle MacMillan’s letter notes that group’s board felt strongly that a destination casino in South Surrey “would cannibalize Fraser Down’s ability to survive in the marketplace.” Surrey Board of Trade CEO Anita Huberman said her group was pleased to hear the announcement. “We are great proponents of additional banquet space, corporate, professional banquet space,” Huberman said. Bottom line, she said, if it’s the right development, it will be great for business and good news for Surrey. “We need to have high-level acts, like the River Rock and Red Robinson Theatre (in Richmond) has, to drive traffic into Surrey.

Cloverdale businesses fear the toll a South Surrey casino could take. largest city in B.C.” Some SBOT members asked whether South Surrey was the right location, or whether the city needs another casino, when there are casinos in Langley, Coquitlam and Richmond, Huberman said. “But in my mind, we need to have something first-class here in Surrey,” Huberman said. Cliff Annable, executive director of the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce – in whose region the proposed casino would be built – said Monday his group has yet to determine whether it supports a local casino. Noting he was surprised Thursday’s announcement sounded like the casino was a done deal, Annable said he expects a special meeting will be called to discuss the chamber’s position on the matter. Lightbody bracketed his speech by talking about the importance of exercising social responsibility in how casinos are located, noting there are a lot of positives about the South Surrey locale. The Newton property will close

when the South Surrey location is ready, he said. The Newton site had been fraught with controversy since it was first proposed by Surrey council. It was the subject of a highly contentious public hearing in 2009, when gaming critics were pitted against not-for-profit organizations, which rely heavily on gaming revenues. After a marathon meeting, council passed the gaming expansion in Newton on a 5-4 vote, even though it contravened the city’s own gaming policy. The company that won the rezoning later flipped the property to Gateway Casinos and Entertainment, which is now at the forefront of the move south. The promise of $25 million worth of improvements on the Newton property died with the change in ownership. Plans for the South Surrey location – currently undeveloped green space – include a 200-suite, four-to-five star hotel, 600-seat convention centre and casino.

There is no doubt starvation played a significant role in the death of a young humpback whale that beached itself on White Rock shores this month. Stephen Raverty, a veterinary pathologist with the Ministry of Agriculture’s Animal Health Centre, said Thursday that the animal was “quite severely emaciated,” beyond what experts typically see in a migrating creature of its kind. “Coming from Hawaii, we would anticipate some degree of weight loss, but this was over and above the normal physiologic changes; it was actually pathologic and quite severe.” The whale – a two- to threeyear-old male – was found on White Rock’s East Beach June 12 around 5 a.m. Entangled from head to tail fluke in fishing line, it died not long after. The incident caught the media’s attention and, as word spread, drew hundreds of onlookers to the sandbar – with many of the early arrivals planning to try to

No more ‘get out of jail free’ cards for rioters

arlier this month, a 20-year-old man from Surrey received a month in jail for his part in the Stanley Cup riots, which took place just over a year ago. Many people are hoping this sets a precedent for future sentencing. It should. A one-month term for taking part in a riot, in which millions of dollars in property damage was done, police were assaulted or ignored, 150 were injured and the reputation of the Vancouver area was severely damaged, is light punishment. However, it is very likely that many of those charged will not receive any punishment at all. Their cases may well be thrown out of court because of excessive delay, because of the severely plugged nature of the court system. This is completely unacceptable. While it says volumes about the state of the court system, something that few people pay attention to unless they are directly involved, it sends a bad message to the rioters. It tells them that they should do all they can to delay and drag things out until they are charged. Above all, they should not plead guilty. They can simply wait for the system to take its course, and almost automatically, many of them will get off scot-free. The provincial government should set up a temporary court which can solely deal with cases involving the rioters. It should wait a few months until more of them are charged, and then deal with the cases, one by one, in a prompt and efficient manner. Everyone who is charged in connection with the riot should face trial, and do time if found guilty. If such a temporary court is set up and it proves to work well, the province could then look at using it in some other situations – in places where the courts are plugged with cases, such as Surrey. No one should be able to get away with taking part in a riot. If they can, we are no longer a civilized society. The province can do something about this, and it should. It must assert authority over lawlessness.

The BC NDP government-in-waiting continues to demand an “action plan” on poverty, with annual goals. All the progressive provinces have one, which I guess is why poverty is all but eradicated in enlightened places like Manitoba. There are signs of the reality behind this political smokescreen. Here’s one. For what may be the first time in history, we now have a North American society where one of the most reliable indicators of poverty is obesity. This often gets explained away with a popular theory that poor people are somehow forced to eat fast food and drink pop because they can’t afford healthy food. People who advance this theory presumably don’t do much grocery shopping. There are plenty of processed, sugary, fat-laden choices at the supermarket, too. But there is also whole wheat bread, rice and fresh or frozen vegetables that are as cheap as anywhere in the world. Given basic cooking skills and some effort, it’s easy to demonstrate which diet is cheaper as well as healthier. Most immigrants know this. Which diet you choose isn’t a function of money, but rather one of education and selfdiscipline. There is genuine poverty in our society. One of the things that’s needed is a useful way to define it.

letters Peace Arch News

Put city’s sign on U.S. soil Editor: While sitting talking with friends a couple of weeks ago, someone asked me if I had seen the new White Rock billboard at the border crossing. I replied, “What billboard?” I travel every weekend in the spring and summer to my vacation home in Birch Bay. I cross at the Peace Arch crossing going and coming. So this past weekend, when I returned from Birch Bay, I made a point of trying to see the billboard. Who would notice this billboard other than someone actually looking for it, like me? As you are coming out of Canadian customs, there are signs galore on your side of the road and an information centre, etc., and numerous road signs one would be looking at. Did anyone think of putting the billboard south of Blaine, where visitors travelling north would actually have a chance to view it and make a decision to stop in White Rock? At the very best, if someone did see the billboard, they would be hard-pressed to make the exit to White Rock off of Highway 99. It is beyond me to imagine the City of White Rock will ever see a return on this investment. Kathy Craig, Surrey

Growing concerns Editor: The work party of members of the White Rock and Surrey Naturalists met Friday, June 15, at the Eva Bene Butterfly Garden in Centennial Park. The team leader was waiting for us with disappointing surprises. The scented “honeysuckle vine” that she had carefully chosen and nursed at her house through the winter had disappeared. A little further down the path, four out of the nine “liatris” were also missing. This was their second year and they were just starting to fill in, protected from the rabbits with regular red pepper spray during the spring. Further, other perennials and a great number of recently planted annuals were nowhere to be found. In several spots, people and large dogs have walked, flattened the seedlings and picked the flowers. The group went to work visibly disturbed and short of the energy that drove them in the past. Laurence Assoignon, Surrey

The source of B.C.’s problems Editor: Re: Choosing work instead of welfare, June 19. You are right, Tom. Your column of June 19 is so right. Those bloody teachers are to blame for the employment problems in B.C. They share equal responsibility

with the Liberal government that for 10 years cut the minimum wage for young people to $6 per hour and kept this wage over $2 per hour less than in the rest of Canada. Excellent analysis and insight. However, I think there is one small group who is more responsible for all problems in B.C., even more than teachers – small-town newspaper columnists who can’t get a job anywhere else and who are paid to spew extreme right-wing, corporate propaganda to people in our province. Their job is to undermine confidence in the public interest, to take cheap shots at hardworking citizens and to encourage privatization of… everything. Good job, Tom. You represent your kind perfectly. Mike Sapic, Surrey

Not right to label SCC left Editor: Re: Civic party plans 2014 comeback, June 19. Your coverage of “Surrey council’s unelected opposition” described the party as “left-leaning.” The Surrey Civic Coalition has never described itself as such, but the label keeps being applied year after year. On the other hand, Mayor Dianne Watts’ governing party – which takes close to a million dollars from developers and the firefighters’ union at election time and rewards

them all with sweet deals – is never described as “right-leaning.” In the interests of journalistic fairness, toward which the Peace Arch News strives, it is best to label all parties or none at all. The SCC certainly has left-leaning members, but it also has rightleaning members who question why mayor and council do not pay taxes on their full salary, why they are borrowing so much money to build a palatial city hall, why large utility fee increases go unreported and why they ignore their own bylaws, such as on secondary suites. Jim McMurtry, Surrey

Don’t pander to suite cheats Editor: Re: Problems multiplied, June 12 letters. I read with interest the letter from Steve Burke on Surrey’s handling of secondary suites and agree wholeheartedly with his comments. I would add that the council ignored the problem of suites initially, and allowed them to populate the city. When the problem became too much of a bother for them to act, they legalized homes with a single suite, provided they registered with the city, which very few of them did. Currently, the homes are getting much larger and multiple suites are the rule, not the exception. One only has to look at the number

of vehicles parked on the roads to realize that the problem is real. The fact is that, among others, immigrants from the Punjab, Somalia, Pakistan, etc., are flocking to Surrey for rental suites. Our schools are overloaded, the welfare system is in shambles with new claimants, and the demands on the economic infrastructure have become overwhelming. Roads are deteriorating with no money, it seems, for repairs, though Surrey issues new building permits at an alarming pace. Surrey is living up to its reputation as a ghetto community, and its slogan of City of Parks is clearly mistaken. As well, its “future is here” claim should scare investors and potential new “nonmonster” homeowners away, based on what we see today. The past argument of suites as affordable housing has proven ineffective, in that suite owners do not pay income taxes on the rental income, are not taxed at a proper rate from the municipality, and tenants are overloading municipal, provincial and federal services. The education system needs an overhaul, with parents paying an annual fee per child enrolled in the public school system. If this was the case, there would be no shortage of funds for new schools. This type of system would be fair to all, and pinpoint where suites of all description are located. It is high time Mayor Dianne Watts and council stopped pandering to real-estate cheats and started representing the whole of Surrey. John Conley, Surrey

If TransLink isn’t providing enough space at the South Surrey Park and Ride, the city should be, writes Geoff Dean.

Make room for bus riders’ vehicles Editor: Re: Poorly parked bus passengers on hook, June 19. Resident Rick Cauley had it exactly right when he said, “There should be more parking (at transit exchanges) so people don’t have to park illegally. If everyone wants to go green, they (TransLink and the City of Surrey) should make it easier.” I live and work in Surrey, and I wish transit here was adequate. It’s not just the infrequent service and poor connections. As this front-page article shows, parking near Surrey’s major transit stops is inadequate and unsafe. And we need bike parking, too, not just car parking. Please, let’s have multi-storey parking garages for transit

users in South Surrey – at 152 Street and 19 Avenue, as well as next to Highway 99 on the King George – in Whalley, in Guildford and in Fleetwood, too. Build an even bigger parking garage near Highway 1 and 160 Street for people who commute from Langley and points east, so they could park there and then get onto transit. If TransLink isn’t doing it, the city should be. Next time you drive to Seattle or visit Portland or the San Francisco Bay Area, check out the parking that’s available at their transit exchanges. Why are we still thinking it’s the 1950s in this province? Geoff Dean, Surrey

Eight charged in jewel heists Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Brandishing hammers and machetes, the crooks doused a clerk in lighter fluid and made off with about $80,000 in merchandise from two pawn shops in Surrey and a jewelry store in Burnaby. On May 22, a group robbed Super Pawn and, on May 31, Roath’s Pawn Shop – both stores located in the 13500-block of King George Boulevard in North Surrey – making off with $50,000 in merchandise, and then hit Station Jewellers in Burnaby on June 5, where another $30,000 in product was stolen. Police now say they have identified seven men and a woman and have laid charges against those believed to be involved. All were charged with the Burnaby robbery, and one with the Surrey thefts, however, police expect more individuals will be charged with heists in both cities. “This was an organized, goal-oriented group that had no regard for public safety and displayed reckless behaviour, putting innocent people’s lives

at risk,” Surrey RCMP Property Crime Section Insp. Wade Lymburner said in a release last week. Investigators soon identified a person of interest. Surrey RCMP’s Strike Force Target Team surveilled the suspect and identified an organized group that may have been responsible for the robberies. Charged with robbery and disguise with intent to commit an indictable offence are; Jordan Boucher, 26, of no fixed address, and Kevin Campbell, 25, Jeffery Greenwood, 27, Raymond Hawse, 39, Phuong Thi Le, (female) 21, Anthony Nguyen, 20, Sonny Nguyen, 19 and Bobby Prasad, 37 – all from Surrey. Police are looking for the public’s assistance in locating one of the eight who has yet to be arrested – 27-year-old Jeffrey Greenwood of Surrey. He is described as a Caucasian male, 6’0”, 166 lbs, with blue eyes and a distinctive tattoo of a dog on his neck. Items stolen from the Surrey pawn shops have not been recovered.

BUY ANY 10

Here’s how it works. If you come in and buy less than 10 of any of our selected annuals in 4” pots, our cashier is going to charge you the regular price (1.99 to 2.99). And she is going to smile (and maybe hum) while she does it. That’s because most of our cashiers have a bit of a mean streak. However, if you are clever and buy 10 or more (mix and match all you want) she will charge you $10 for every 10 you buy. That's a buck apiece for the mathematically challenged.) Save $10 to $20 on each group of 10.

Possible end to free parking lots for transit users

Park-and-ride rates may rise Jeff Nagel Black Press

TransLink may make commuters pay to use many of its free park-and-rides and may raise rates at other paid parking lots at rapid transit stations in response to overcrowding. The strategy is to spur more drivers who can catch a bus from close to their home to do so rather than driving to a park-and-ride, where they board SkyTrain, an express bus or the West Coast Express. Detractors worry the plan will backfire and push too many of those motorists to ditch transit and drive all the way to work instead. TransLink corporate communications manager Jason Martin gave no details on which lots might see fees imposed or raised, adding a study is still underway and TransLink’s board of directors will vote on any final plan. “Pricing is certainly one way to help manage demand,” he said. “We want to encourage people on the frequent transit network or areas that are well-served to use transit to get to SkyTrain.” Park-and-rides offer convenience for motorists who don’t want to wait for a bus near their home to get to a transit hub before transferring to an express bus or rapid transit, Martin said,

File photo

TransLink may increase rates. but added that convenience may come at a price. “A nominal fee at park-and-ride still represents savings for somebody who might otherwise still be driving downtown to pay for a parking spot.” The parking congestion problem partly reflects rising transit ridership – more commuters than TransLink expected are using the South Surrey park-and-ride to catch a bus to the Canada Line at Bridgeport. The South Surrey lot is one of 10 free ones across the region and it routinely overflows despite being recently expanded to 481 stalls. TransLink has said it would begin towing cars illegally parked there yesterday (Monday). “It’s pretty chaotic,” said Fraser Institute economist Joel Wood,

who commutes using the lot and said TransLink is right to reassess the region’s park-and-ride fees to reduce congestion. “The obvious solution to replacing the kind of first-come, firstserved approach we have now to allocating stalls is to charge for them,” Wood said. “If you put a price in, you’ll want to set the price so the parking lot fills up but there’s no longer cars overflowing.” Other free park-and-rides include lots in Ladner, Tsawwassen, Walnut Grove in Langley, Sexsmith in Richmond; Phibbs exchange, Park Royal mall, Westmount and Gleneagles on the North Shore. Some pay lots already charge hefty fees. An Impark lot at King George station in Surrey costs $6 to park for the day, prompting many motorists heading there to park for free a couple blocks away along Fraser Highway instead. Others are much cheaper – the public parkade at Bridgeport Station, operated by the casino there in partnership with TransLink, charges Canada Line users $2.50 a day, while the Scott Road SkyTrain station park-and-ride charges $3. Wood said TransLink needs to guard against unintended impacts, like commuters parking on nearby residential streets to save money.

A fixture for years as chief engineer of the Bear Creek Park Train, Dave Penn passed away on Sunday, June 17. File photo

Dave Penn remembered after battle with leukemia

Train gave engineer his ‘creative outlet’ Maria Spitale-Leisk

Black Press

he staff at the popular Bear Creek Park Train will chug along heavyhearted after the loss of their chief engineer Dave Penn. A father of eight – and grandfather to 34 – Penn died from leukemia this past Father’s Day (June 17) at the age of 66. “It was expected – he had been in hospice for three weeks,” said Penn’s wife, Linda. The accidental miniature train engineer fell into the amusement park business by chance in 1996. Dave had been involved in the “City of Lights” Christmas display at Softball City in South Surrey. He set up a similar festive scene at Bear Creek Park in 1995 for a British expat who had brought over a couple of mini locomotives to Surrey.

Less than a year later, that man went back in the year to follow. to England, leaving Dave and Linda, who Taking a ride on locomotives Eddy the were now partners in the Bear Creek Park Engine and Chough through the forested Train, with a $130,000 business loan. park at Christmastime and Halloween has “We of course had to work that (loan) been a long-standing tradition for many off, to pay it back,” Linda said.

interested in purchasing the train last year, but unfortunately they said they were not interested,” said Linda. The train’s operating contract with Surrey is also up for renewal next year – a dilemma Linda struggles with. “Like I said, I’m concerned about the maintenance aspect. If somebody was interested, I’d always be open to options. I would like to see (the train) continue – it brings so much joy to so many children. It’s been quite the contribution to the community,” said Linda. In addition to lighting up the lives of young children at the train station, Dave was also a perennial volunteer in the community, lending his time to the Surrey Rehabilitation Society, Kwantlen Polytechnic University and as past president of the Surrey Board of Trade.

Kids fight against cancer The Canadian Cancer Youth Society at Elgin Park Secondary has raised $2,324.20 for the Canadian Cancer Society, as well as more than $1,000 in gifts for young patients at BC Children’s Hospital. Members of the group celebrated their success June 14 with a giant-sized cheque. The goal of the school group is to raise awareness about the causes, symptoms and prevention of cancer and funds for the Canadian Cancer Society for research and cancer patients.

It was launched in October 2010 with 15 members and has since grown to 30 active members. As a group, members meet every Thursday at lunch and have participated in many inschool fundraisers, including the Pink Mitten Campaign and a Daffodil Search for Daffodil month. As well, they hosted a community fundraiser by collecting coins outside of Ocean Park Safeway to buy gifts for children at BC Children’s Hospital for the

winter holidays. “Next school year we plan on broadening our community involvement and awareness programs” said Lauren Fisher, director of marketing and media for the Elgin Canadian Cancer Youth Society. Other fundraising initiatives have included sales of lemonade, muffins and Krispy Kreme doughnuts, a mother-anddaughter breakfast for breast cancer and production of a short video for the “Ban the Use of Cosmetic Pesticides” campaign.

RED ROSE CELEBRATES 18 YEARS IN OUR COMMUNITY! Thank you White Rock/South Surrey for your continued support For more than 18 years, Red Rose Restaurant has been serving delicious homemade Greek, Italian and Indian entrees for lunch and dinner. After four years in their White Rock location, the dining spot is still a popular choice for patrons from the Peninsula – and beyond. “We are so thrilled to be here,” says owner and chef Mike Thind, who owns the business with his wife, Rajni. “It’s a wonderful community. The people here are very friendly and welcoming.” Inside the family restaurant, you’ll experience a warm and intimate atmosphere, quality food that is always served fresh – using only the highest quality ingredients – and affordable, family friendly prices. The extensive, diverse menu offers everything from juicy Triple A steaks (handcut by Mike, who’s always in the kitchen) to fresh pasta, including Red Rose’s famous decadent seafood lasagna, tender roast lamb that falls off the bone, mouth-watering butter chicken and much, much more. All the sauces and dishes are handmade from scratch and you can even create your own pasta. Mike and Rajni also offer their clients hot or cold party trays – perfect for everyday meetings and events. Have a staff party coming up? Red Rose welcomes parties of up to 20 to book their semi-private room for a great time and a delicious experience. Mike and Rajni thank their current customers for their loyal patronage and welcome new customers to come in for lunch and/or dinner. “You will have a great dining experience here,” says Mike. “Let us take care of you!” For more information, please visit www.redroserestaurant.ca. or call: 604-535-5542

the scene …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Tickets are $39.50 (plus facility fees and service charges) at the box office, 604-536-7535 or online at www.whiterockplayers.ca

The Mousetrap Tickets are on sale now for Peninsula Productions’ production of Agatha Christie’s 1952 thriller, The Mousetrap, which runs July 11-28, with 8 p.m. performances, at the Coast Capital Playhouse. Among well-known players in the production are Paul Kloegman (The Cat’s Meow), Lori Tych (The Lion In Winter), Sam Gordon (A Bedfull of Foreigners) and, in a departure from her usual public appearances as a singer, Laine Henderson, who plays the lead role of Mollie Ralston. Newlywed wife of Giles Ralston, Mollie is the young owner of historic Monkswell Manor, recently renovated as a guest house, scene of mysterious and chilling misdeeds in the very British theatre classic. “Laine was perfect for the part,” said director Wendy Bollard. “She came to the audition and blew me away. Normally, I would be nervous about casting someone with no acting experience, but Laine has so much stage experience and an awesome work ethic.” The Mousetrap takes place during a snowstorm, which strands guests at Monkswell Manor just as news arrives of a murder in London, with a suggestion the guest house may be next on the murderer’s itinerary. Tickets are $23 ($18 seniors) and can be purchased at www. whiterockplayers.ca or in person at the Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. Gala opening is July 13, and there will be 2:30 p.m. matinees on July 15 and 22. For more, visit peninsulaproductions.org

Harnett and Gidora Two well-liked local music makers, Juno-nominee Neil Harnett and Steve Gidora, will share songs from their latest CDs, Somewhere (Harnett) and Jokers and Prophets (Gidora) this Wednesday (June 27, 7-9:30 p.m.) at Beecher St. Cafe in Crescent Beach.

Cast members of the upcoming version of the classic whodunnit, The Mousetrap (Coast Capital Playhouse, July 11-28), include (left to right) Stephen Benjamin Fowler, Sam Gordon, Paul Kloegman, Laine Henderson, Spenser Dunlop, Everett Shea and Lori Tych.

Dream cast Tickets are due to go on sale this week for the Beachhouse Theatre Society’s production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, scheduled for a run at Crescent Beach this summer. Directors Candace Radcliffe and Rick Harmon’s inaugural Beachhouse Theatre production will be presented Aug. 15-19 under a tent near Blackie Spit. The poetic – yet often rollicking and earthy – tale of mistaken identity, young love gone awry and collisions between mortals and the fairy kingdom provides roles for Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan society regulars, plus talented alumni from many of Radcliffe and Harmon’s celebrated Earl Marriott Secondary productions. Among the well-known local faces in the cast will be James Walker (as Theseus and Oberon), Roger Hussen (Egeus), Rylan Schinkel (Hermia), Nick Hugh (Lysander), Adam Olgui (Peter Quince), Paul Richardson (Flute), Reg Pillay (Snout), Russel Chartrand (Bottom) and Marina Benitez-Lazzarotto (Puck). Further information on ordering

tickets will be posted on the website, www.beachhousetheatre. org

Lend Me A Tenor Ken Ludwig’s celebrated farce Lend Me A Tenor, which closes June 30 at 8 p.m. at Coast Capital Playhouse (1532 Johnston Rd.), is a break for White Rock Players Club subscribers and a good bet for those with a yen to see quality live theatre. Directed with a very sure hand by Ryan Mooney (who helmed last year’s Nunsense) the show reaches near-professional standard thanks to a strong cast and attention to characterization and timing and a first-class set. Chaos (and hilarity) ensue when overeating, womanizing tenor Tito Merelli (Michael Kalmuk) is unable to make his Cleveland debut in a gala fundraising performance of Verdi’s Otello, due to an overdose of tranquilizers. Opera company general manager Saunders (Fred Partridge) accedes to a desperate scheme – his own assistant, would-be tenor Max (Aaron Reno), must don the blackface required for the role. Complicating matters: Merelli’s

jealous wife, Maria (Launi Bowie); Saunders’ daughter, Maggie (Nicole Smashnuk), who has designs on Merelli; society woman, Julia (Susanne de Pencier); ambitious soprano, Diana (Jackie Block); and a bellhop who also wants to be an opera singer (Sean Donnelly). For tickets and show time information, visit www. whiterockplayers.ca or call 604536-7535.

Piano man Versatile pianist/singer Ryan Langevin pays tribute to two musical legends – Elton John and Billy Joel – with his show Piano Man, presented by Rock.It Boy Entertainment and coming to Coast Capital Playhouse (1532 Johnston Rd.) July 5, 7:30 p.m. A passionate fan of both artists’ music from his youth, Langevin will bring a vivid live dimension to such Elton John classics as Saturday Night, Daniel, Rocket Man, Crocodile Rock, Bennie and the Jets and Candle In The Wind, while rocking such Billy Joel favourites as My Life, She’s Always A Woman, Uptown Girl, Only The Good Die Young and Piano Man.

The White Rock Traditional Jazz Society’s regular season of Sunday afternoon live hot jazz music and dance sessions (usually 3-6 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240, 2643 128 St.) have wound down for the summer, but that doesn’t mean doing without the sounds of vintage jazz.

Hold this for as long as possible until you reach the finish line, or until you’re too exhausted to stand any further, at which point you will need to sit back down and move to the ‘hands on the handlebar’ opposition for the rest of the climb. Mental fortitude will be required towards the end, but you will be surrounded by very enthusiastic fans providing the needed encouragement to get to the finish line. Once you’ve finished your ride, relax, get your breathing and heart rate under control, and then go for a short cool down ride to help your legs recover.

International tournament begins play Wednesday

Familiar faces in Canadian lineup A pair of veterans and a teenage pitcher are three local players named to the Canadian national women’s softball team which will compete at the US World Cup of Softball. Middle infielder Jen Yee of North Delta and outfielder Melanie Matthews of Surrey, both members of the 2008 team which competed at the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, are among the 20 players chosen following a selection camp in Oklahoma City. Jocelyn Cater, a 17 year-old student at North Delta’s Seaquam Secondary – and former White Rock Renegade – was also named to the squad. Cater made her debut with the national team at last year’s Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship at Surrey’s Softball City last summer. The team will begin play at the World Cup, which is also in Oklahoma, tomorrow. The tournament will run through to July 2, after which the Canadian team will travel to Surrey for the Canadian Open. The women’s international tournament runs July 4-9. Two other players with a local connection also made the national squad. Marina Demore of Richmond and Kelsey Haberl of Burnaby each played

Demore – who has also played with the Renegades in the past – currently pitches for the Oregon Ducks of the NCAA.

sports Riders commit to Tour A pair of cyclists well-known to fans of BC Superweek will be back in White Rock next month. Will Routley and Ryan Anderson – both former members of the now-defunct Symmetrics Cycling Team – have both been confirmed for the Tour de White Rock, which is set for July 13-15. The duo now race for Spidertech, and have been racing professionally in Europe this year. Routley and Anderson are hoping to bring a third, yet-to-bedetermined teammate with them to Superweek. Australian professional rider Hilton Clarke – winner of the Tour de Gastown in 2006 – has also confirmed his participation in BC Superweek. This year’s BC Superweek schedule, which includes the Tour de Delta, UBC Grand Prix and Giro de Burnaby, is also boosted by the return of the Gastown Grand Prix.

hosted by the Semi Weightlifting Club at Semiahmoo Secondary, is set for Saturday and Sunday. Among the highlights this year will be the performance of Canadian Olympian Christine Girard, a White Rock resident who will represent Canada at the Summer Olympics in London next month.

Softball from page 27 Canada to Oklahoma. “It’s about 10 miles an hour slower than my fastball, which is good because you have to slow your pitches down every now and then.” And while the summer is a whirlwind of travel – from Oklahoma to South Surrey, and to Whitehorse for world fastpitch championships July 12-22 – Cater, like Demore, is excited to play in front of family at the Canadian Open. “Playing at home is so much better, you see people you know in the stands and they support our team,” she said. “I watched the Canada Cup… when I was a kid, so I always wanted to play in a tournament like this.” And while both will be counted upon more than in their rookie seasons, they still rely on the influence of the team’s veterans. Demore, for example, recalls advice Cumpstone – Canada’s catcher – once gave her. “She just told me to go out there and relax, and have fun. It’s not any different – it’s still just a game.” - with files from Rick Kupchuk

REILLY, Charles June 9, 1934 - June 15, 2012 With heavy heart we announce the passing of Charles Reilly on June 15, 2012 at his home in South Surrey, BC, Canada. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, to John Reilly and Flora Reilly (nee Urquhart), Charles was the second child and oldest son of 7 brothers and sisters. He is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Joyce (nee Beattie), and his 3 children, Diane, Kevin and Karen, as well as his much loved grandchildren, Liam, Kiera, Shonagh and Aidan. Predeceased by his younger brother John, Charles will also be lovingly remembered by his sisters May, Eleanor (Alex), Catherine & Anne (Bryce), his youngest brother Peter (Margaret) & their respective families. Charles enjoyed a rich and varied life that carried him to all corners of the world in a successful career as a Marine Chief Engineer. His upbringing in Glasgow, together with his travels and experiences, shaped his views on life, and developed in him a philosophy of living founded on fairness, respect, and decency. Charles emigrated with his family to Canada in 1975, where he built a beautiful home with Joyce, and where he later enjoyed his retirement doing what he most loved to do, spend time with Joyce and his grandchildren, read extensively, and follow his beloved Glasgow Celtic. A thoughtful and dignified man, it was our privilege to have known him, to have loved him and to have had the pleasure of his company. His memory will be cherished, and he will be missed, as he will be remembered, with love and pride. Family and Friends will gather at Victory Memorial Park to comfort one another and to share memories of Charles. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in his memory to a charity of your choosing. Condolences may be offered at www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca
