President accused after wife airlifted in severe medical distress from South Surrey home
Attempted-murder charge stuns temple Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A prominent leader of Surrey’s Sikh community was to appear in court Wednesday accused of trying to kill his wife. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team announced Tuesday that the charge against Baldev Singh Kalsi – president of the Gurdwara Sahib Brookside temple – had been upgraded to attempted murder from aggravated assault. The 66-year-old was arrested Sunday at a home in the 19400block of 32 Avenue, where police found his wife, Narinder, in severe medical distress. She was airlifted to hospital and placed on life support. Baldev Singh Kalsi The next afteraccused noon, IHIT announced the aggravated assault charge. “This tragic incident is domestic-related and not a random attack. The victim remains in hospital on life support and in critical condition. Her family has been notified,” Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pound said Monday. Surinder Jabal, spokesman for the temple – at 8365 140 St. – confirmed Kalsi is the current president. i see page 4

Communications section the focus of allegations involving a senior officer
Second RCMP civilian worker claims harassment Nearly a year after allegations of sexual harassment were filed against a high-profile RCMP inspector who lives in White Rock, a second woman has accused the officer of sexual assault. The latest claim against Tim Shields – a former spokesman for the RCMP – was filed in B.C. Supreme Court on July 10 by Anitra Singh. She is described in the documents as a senior communications advisor for the RCMP E Division who reported indirectly to Shields, who
was at the time in charge of E Division’s strategic communications section. The claim – which also names the Attorney General of Canada as a defendant – alleges that Shields sexually harassed and assaulted Singh both physically and verbally from 2009 to 2011; that he “misused and/or abused his position of trust and/or authority and rank over the plaintiff.” The court documents cite damages including chronic pain, post-traumatic
stress disorder, concentration difficulties and depression. Singh is seeking compensation, including for loss of income, past and future medical costs, loss of earning capacity, as well as punitive and special damages. Shields has yet to file a response to a similar claim filed by Atoya Montague in August 2013. Montague – who was also a civilian member of the RCMP’s B.C. communications services – alleged Shields made
unwanted sexual advances to her starting in 2003. In her claim, she states the actions were in a context of “persistent and ongoing” sexual harassment practised by male officers with whom her job called for her to be in contact. Montague went on medical leave in August 2011. After her claim was filed, senior RCMP officials termed the allegations “uncorroborated and unsubstantiated.” None have been proven in court.

possible 20 years ago. There is obviously a large demand for homes, stores, restaurants, swimming pools and other services, but the past does not need to be obliterated or forgotten in Surrey’s relentless push to add more and more residents. Tree preservation has been a big issue in Surrey for years, and while council has made some strides towards preserving trees on individual homeowners’ properties, it has fallen short on land up for redevelopment. One does not have to travel far in any part of Surrey to see this. It seems that only extended efforts by a committed group of area residents is able to occasionally slow down development plans enough to preserve just a few trees. It’s also time to question the policy of paying into Surrey’s Green City fund. On one of the 164 Street properties, there are 40 protected trees. Only two will be preserved, and another 45 small trees will be planted. The city claims this is a deficit of 83 trees that should be planted, so in lieu it takes a “contribution” of $24,900 to the green city fund. This is a pittance, given the value of the homes to be built there, and is little more than hush money. Surrey residents who want to be proud of their city and its unique features in the present, and the distant future, need to pay close attention to just how the city actually deals with trees in development areas.

Police urge residents to report suspicious activity
Neighbours credited with B&E arrests Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Police are crediting alert citizens with helping them catch two break-and-enter suspects in South Surrey Monday night. Cpl. Bert Paquet said a neighbour reported seeing a pair of suspicious individuals at the back fence of a property in the 2300-block of 150B Street just after 7 p.m. July 14. “This particular person thought this was suspicious,” Paquet said. “She knew the neighbour was away and that there was also a recent break-in at that location.” Officers who responded confronted and arrested a woman at the back door of the home; a man matching the description of a second suspect was detained moments later. Paquet said police noticed evidence of forced entry at the home. They also recovered some stolen property.
He said charges of break-and-enter and theft have been recommended against two Surrey residents; a 33-year-old man and a 42-year-old woman. The woman is facing additional charges of breaching conditions. Noting both of the arrested individuals were also wanted on outstanding warrants, Paquet said police will ask the court to keep the two in custody. Investigation is ongoing to determine if Monday’s break-in is related to a July 12 break-in at the same home. In that incident, a neighbour called police after noticing a suspicious vehicle. Paquet said investigators do not believe Monday’s incident is linked to a recent spree of break-ins throughout South Surrey, “but we have not ruled out a possible connection.” Over a five-day period earlier this month, 17 residential break-ins were reported,

Officers arrest one of two suspects. believed the work of a group of suspects targeting unoccupied homes. “We are looking at records and reports over the last few days and weeks… to see if we can match these two to unresolved or unsolved break-and-enters that we are investigating,” Paquet said. Last Friday, police issued a reminder to residents to ensure they are securing their
homes and vehicles. They also stressed the importance of citizens reporting suspicious people or activity. Monday’s arrests were a direct result of exactly that, Paquet said. “Many a case has been solved because someone decided to call us when they saw something or heard something,” he said. “Kudos and thank you to someone who did what we are asking of the people – to be an extension of our officers.” The resident who alerted police to Monday’s break-in told Peace Arch News she hopes others won’t think twice about doing their part to curb crime. “I just want everyone to be on the same page, and that is if they see, hear or detect suspicious activity to be proactive about it and call 911,” she said by email. “We cannot let this happen over and over again.”
Crews respond to crash
Bad model behaviour Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A remote-controlled airplane is being blamed for a roof fire in South Surrey Monday night. Fire crews were dispatched to the 3300-block of 190 Street at 7:45 p.m., after one of the crafts crashed onto the roof of a commercial building and ignited. Such planes’ batteries are “quite combustible under the right circumstances,” noted Deputy fire Chief Dan Barnscher. The plane was apparently being flown in a nearby vacant lot just before the crash – an activity Barnscher said is common in that area. Those who choose to fly planes on private property there are “pretty much doing it at their own risk,” he said, adding he wouldn’t be surprised if the owner of the plane received a bill for the roof repairs. “He’s probably a little sheepish right now. It’s definitely going to cost a little bit to do the repair to the roof,” Barnscher said. Nine units were dispatched to the fire scene, including five tanker trucks in case hydrants in the developing area hadn’t yet been activated. Police also attended. Barnscher described the damage as “very minimal,” describing the fire as “very small… contained to about a four-by-eight-foot area.”

Councillor expresses concerns over police centralization
$36m in savings as RCMP lease old city hall Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Barinder Rasode
Surrey Mounties will be moving into the old city hall, saving Surrey $36 million it planned to spend on RCMP district expansion. Surrey’s police committee decided Monday to lease a section of the old city hall to the Mounties in the near future. Surrey had planned to spend $36 million for a separate expansion, an
expense that’s no longer required. It effectively trims the net cost of the move to the new city hall in North Surrey last spring from $99.5 million to $63.5 million. Surrey RCMP are expected to move into the south tower of the old city hall, a 57,000-sq.-ft. space that includes the old council chambers. Which section of the RCMP will move into the old building in Panorama
Ridge has not yet been determined. Coun. Barinder Rasode has concerns about having the RCMP centralized, rather than part of the district stations. She says it means officers will respond to calls from the central detachment, instead of having someone embedded in that community. Coun. Linda Hepner said Tuesday she was assured by the Officer in Command that an extremely robust community
policing model would remain in place. The RCMP will share the building with Crown Counsel and probations offices, which are taking 45,000 square feet of the building on the main floor. That represents about $550,000 annually for the city. About 30,000 square feet of the old city hall is still unclaimed, including the west tower, with 21,000 sq. ft., and 10,000 sq. ft. in the north annex.

City of White Rock gives boost to theatre production
Veterans show gets $10k Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
White Rock council members didn’t hesitate when it came to a request for funding to help with a project honouring local veterans and their families. Monday, with no public discussion and by a unanimous vote, the politicians approved a $10,000 contribution to Peninsula Productions – funds that enable the company to present Stephen Massicotte’s Mary’s Wedding in November. In a July 4 letter requesting the funds, the group’s Geoff Giffin and Wendy Bollard write that they learned only recently of the opportunity to present the play – meaning the funds are not in the city’s leisure services budget. This month marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War, they note, and the play is to commemorate “the great sacrifice that Canadians made during this time.� It tells the story of a young man and woman at the beginning of the First World War who fall in love, and explores “the pain and sacrifice of ordinary Canadians.� Bollard described Mary’s Wedding as “a beautiful piece of theatre.� “I’ve loved this play for years,� she said. The total budget for the production is $25,000, of which $15,000 is anticipated to be generated through ticket sales, fundraising and other community support. Without the city’s help, the show would not go

on, Giffin told Peace Arch News after Monday’s meeting. The play is to be presented at the White Rock Elementary “black box theatre� – a 180-seat studio theatre – from Nov. 11-15, with the Remembrance Day performance on Tuesday dedicated to veterans and families, and timed to fit in with other remembrance activities. Four additional performances open to the general public will be presented over the following days. Monday’s funding injection is not the first from the city to Peninsula Productions this year. In March, the group – along with the White Rock Players Club – received a $1,500 grant-in-aid.

The results were not available by Peace Arch News’ press deadline, however, a scheduled bail hearing was not expected to proceed.

Chronic complaints
T
he recent lengthy – and often delayed – review of Fraser Health Authority has suggested some worthwhile aims and objectives. However, given the minister of health’s belief Fraser Health’s budget is adequate, don’t expect a lot of improvements in health care any time soon. The review’s main conclusion is that acutecare hospitals are utilized more than they need to be by residents. Hence costs keep rising – given that acute care is far and away the most expensive type of care offered. Why are people in the Fraser Health region – including those who consider Peace Arch Hospital their own – going to acute care so often? In many cases, it’s because they don’t have a family doctor. Population growth and a limited number of general practitioners mean that at least one-third of the population do not have anyone in the health system who sees them regularly, knows them by name or has a good handle on their medical issues. Others have a chronic condition for which there is no option aside from acute care. The review notes the value of setting up clinics that specialize in treating people with certain conditions, or are part of certain groups. Unfortunately, only nine per cent of the FHA budget goes towards community care – with 57 per cent going to acute care. Some people in acute care are awaiting admission into long-term care. While many new facilities have been built in the region, most are for-profit, within the private sector, and thus unaffordable for many. The number of beds subsidized by the province is limited, and consequently hospitals are unnecessarily plugged. There are also limited mental-health services available, despite 17 per cent of the adult population and 14 per cent of the youth population struggling with mental illness. NDP critic Judy Darcy points out that Fraser Health gets 28 per cent of the overall spending on health in B.C., yet is home to 36 per cent of the population. The fact that specialist hospitals such as BC Children’s are in Vancouver offers only a partial explanation for this discrepancy. Looking at the review, it’s hard not to reach the conclusion that this region has been chronically underfunded in health services for a long, long time.

physician, we have to go over my history, what meds I’m on, etc., etc. There is no rapport, no familiarity. It’s all rather uncomfortable and intimidating, especially if you need any kind of invasive testing – I am 50 after all – and I’d rather have some kind of confidence and previous experience with the person putting on the rubber glove. The doctor/patient relationship is a kind of sacred bond. It’s one thing to shop for groceries at different stores or take your car to various mechanics, but you want to know the person who’s checking that weird bump at the back of your whatever. I don’t want to stand in various cold offices with nothing on but a backless gown in front of a stream of different doctors. I want one doctor. Ironically, I finally did manage to find a local physician accepting patients in Nelson. However, I never made it into her office. I met her when I was admitted to hospital and I got all my medical files sent from Abbotsford to her clinic. But when I called to make a followup appointment, I discovered she had closed her practice in Nelson in order to open a new one in in nearby Kaslo. So, the search begins anew. Surely there is a doctor out there willing to treat a middle-aged, overweight, inactive type-one diabetic, who has survived sepsis, cancer and a brain aneurysm, as well as a bad cold and one wicked hangnail? Did I mention it was a big medical file? Kevin Mills is the editor of the Nelson Star and a former reporter at the Abbotsford News.

Speaking up for animals Editor: Thank you to the many people who have reportedly been calling in to the BCSPCA to report pets left in vehicles during the current hot spell. All animals, from our household pets to cows and other farm animals, and even the wild ones in nature, need caring humans to represent them. I’m heartened by people who will take the time to be a voice for animals. You might label me an ‘animal lover’ or an ‘activist,’ but I don’t consider myself separate from any other caring person. I have taken to heart the BCSPCA motto, “Speaking for those who can’t speak for themselves”, and I’ve made a commitment to do what I can in that regard. My impact may not be overwhelming, but when it is joined to a larger community of people who are willing to play a part, I can make a difference. Humans and animals alike are thinking, feeling beings that I’m sure you agree deserve to be treated with respect. We can all play a part in animal welfare by speaking up in reporting possible abuse, such as with the animals in sweltering vehicles, or by making a donation to an animal welfare organization, or donating our time in the same way, or even by just writing a letter to our local paper to help bring awareness to an animal issue. Jacqueline Hohmann, Surrey
City should reject refuse Editor: We pay a pretty penny in property taxes to live in a community to be proud of. I grew up here and have always found it a soothing neighbourhood. Now, within two blocks of my home in this small community, there are at least eight properties up for redevelopment. Six are within my block itself. Two of the properties have garbage in the front yard, but have been vacated for over two-plus weeks. How is it that the owners aren’t required to remove this junk? On Blackburn Avenue sits a gutted house with a TV and couch on the front lawn. There is not adequate fencing and I can walk right on to the property. The property on Nichol Road was cleaned out by the owners of their washing machines and other valuables the day after all the tenants moved out, but they left behind a truckload of junk for people to dig through. A few years ago, a bylaw officer knocked on my 60-somethingyear-old single mother’s house, demanding she cover up the graffiti on her fence – put there the night before – within 24 hours or be fined. It was pouring rain out. Now, I walk my neighbourhood looking at empty overgrown lots and garbage. I guess the bylaw
officers are too busy handing out parking tickets in front of the hospital and the beach to drive around our handful of streets. Are we, as a two-block neighbourhood, going to have to put up with eight demolitions and rebuilds within the next couple of years? If I’m going to be forced to live like I’m in Surrey, I should be paying Surrey property taxes. Tania Blair, White Rock
Don’t complain over wages Editor: Re: Educated arguments, July 3 letters. I wonder if letter-writer Susan Davidson is doing her math right. I hope she, as a teacher of 32 years, realizes that an annual salary is just what it says it is, “annual pay.”
You can’t fool me nor an accountant. You get paid yearly in the form of a paycheque, usually the 15th and 30th of the month. This includes statutory holidays and vacation time. So what are you complaining of? I agree that there is an extra load that you did not sign on for all those years ago – i.e. mentally challenged students – but all the young teachers did. So get on with it. Patrick English, Surrey

A young beachgoer watches as a train makes its presence known along White Rock’s waterfront tracks Saturday.
Loud reaction to train concerns Editor: Re: Cacophony on the waterfront, July 10 letters. I don’t know what a ‘cacophony’ is but, in response to G. Ponsford’s insightful letter, I could not agree more. BNSF and Transport Canada are fighting an everlosing battle; it is impossible to legislate against stupidity, particularly willful stupidity. As already stated, on some of these occasions Social Darwinism is inevitable. Living in South Surrey, I don’t have the misery of living with the constant whistle-blowing directly, though I still can hear it quite clearly. The powers-that-be are removing our freedom and quality of life to the point of creating a police state! M. Boon, Surrey Q Although I am in general agreement with Gerard Ponsford’s letter to the editor, one statement stands out for me as requiring further discussion. I refer to his: “When BNSF was permitted to lay the tracks a century ago…” This implies it had been BNSF’s decision to move their line from its then location to the east, where it crossed 16 Avenue at approximately 180 Street, sidehilling in a northeast direction up the hill, and so on. According to my now-late informant – a longtime resident of the area and one-time reeve of Surrey in the 1960s – it was the desire of the residents of the Peninsula to have the line moved to its present location in order to provide a train station at White Rock. In those days, rail transportation was of high importance as good roads and cars were scarce. A station at White Rock meant Vancouverites could get to their beach homes at White Rock on weekends quickly. I believe that this information should be considered by those so determined to blame all on the railroad. Emerson Reid, Surrey Q Re: Mayor warns of federal indifference to rail fears, July 10. Why, after decades of having little governing, few safety measures other than the normal signage, warnings, some appropriate fencing, a few honks from the engineers at their discretion and very few deaths considering the thousands and thousands of visitors,
has our beach front suddenly been targeted? It has nothing to do with the poor woman who unfortunately forgot she was crossing an active railway track and didn’t look both ways as we are all taught from a very young age to do when crossing a road or track. As stated at the July 7 meeting, we are all angry, tired from interrupted sleep, agitated and wondering the purpose of extreme honking – 115 honks along two kilometres – at all hours of the day and night. (Editor’s note: To mitigate, last week Transport Canada replaced its “dawn until dusk” order to specify repeated horn blasts are required from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.) The ‘deflection’ of the extreme honking and sudden deep concern for pedestrian safety is to have us fighting that, instead of the real issue – which is to move these tracks and the lethal cargo they carry along this bay. Many lives and this beautiful bay will be lost if there is an accident or derailment – and we all know it. These past weeks have been absolutely ridiculous in every fashion imaginable – tightening up any open fencing, gates erected, then locked, then unlocked, then removed… People are now crawling through the fencing with lawn chairs, swimming gear, etc. The right hand clearly doesn’t know what the left is doing. Let’s get real and all compromise and work together to make train cargo all across Canada much safer. Barb Mallard, White Rock Q Another Peace Arch News, and more articles and letters whining about the railway tracks. A lot of the residents of White Rock and Crescent Beach must think they are very special. Trains run through hundreds of densely populated communities in Canada. Every year right across the country, people who don’t look before crossing the tracks get killed. Anyone younger than 90 years old knew the tracks were there when they bought their properties. Anyone with any foresight would know that just as the traffic has increased on our roads, so it will on rail. If you don’t like it, move. Don’t be so arrogant to think it is appropriate to move your problem to another neighbourhood. Lobby for safer rail. Anna Dean, Surrey

White Rock residents focus on train issues in 67-page document
Council receives petition Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A petition aimed at preventing further fencing along White Rock’s promenade, quelling train whistles and relocating the waterfront train tracks was submitted to White Rock council Monday – with at least one of its goals already achieved. The 67-page, 666-name document, submitted by White Rock resident Pat Petrala, calls on the federal government and “all other bodies… to cease sounding train horns continuously from dawn to dusk.” An increase in the whistles was the result of a Transport Canada order issued to railway owner BNSF last month after an “immediate threat” to safety was noted by an inspector. It directed BNSF to ensure trains moving along the waterfront sounded a “repetitive succession of short horn blasts” from dusk until dawn. Soon after, area residents were reporting being disturbed by the noise at all hours of the night. On July 9, a revised whistling order was issued to clarify that the horn blasts were only mandatory from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. The petition also calls for better communication and more constructive dialogue with the community and stakeholders, and for

Susan Pousette asks forum panelists why coal trains aren’t covered. collaboration on cost-sharing for controlled pedestrian crossings. In explaining the petition’s roots, Petrala cited public outcry over the closure of West Beach railing gaps, the installation of a locked gate at the boat launch (which was later removed) and rampant “rumours and misinformation” about how and why it all came about. “People were unsure of who to advocate with and there was confusion of jurisdictions and responsibility,” she said. “The entanglements and blame with deflection or referral to another source was frustrating.” While council did not question Petrala regarding the petition, Mayor Wayne Baldwin commented after her presentation that
“you probably echoed what council was feeling.” Baldwin also countered Petrala on the amount of community dialogue achieved at a July 7 forum on rail safety and transportation of dangerous goods. Petrala noted just 23 minutes was allotted to questions from the crowd; Baldwin said much more dialogue was had after the specified question period, when he and many other officials stayed behind for up to an hour to speak with attendees. Of those who signed the petition, 439 live in White Rock, and 179 provided a Surrey address. Petrala said it will also be taken to the local MP’s and MLA’s offices, as well as presented to Transport Canada.

ocal artists, artisans and musicians will be on hand at the second annual Village Summer Festival in Ocean Park July 18-20. The three-day festival, organized by Ocean Park resident, business owner and business association president Jill Martyniuk, began in 2013 after years of wanting to hold something in her community similar to the market in Ladner. “I wanted to bring awareness of Ocean Park Village – not only is it great for shopping, but we have beautiful trails, the eagles and more,” she said. “There is so much to see and do, and so many people are drawn to the big-box stores, but we’re an area you don’t see very often anymore.” The festival will kick off with a

It’s a great opportunity for our community to connect,” she said. The steady increase anticipated is something that Martyniuk hopes will continue in years to come. “We have so much to offer and we want to share it with people, not just from South Surrey and White Rock, but all over the Lower Mainland. I hope the festival will grow and that we can take it to all four corners of Ocean Park,” Martyniuk said. “I hope it’s something they mark on their calendar.” For more information, visit www.oceanparkvillage.com/ business/meeting-schedule/

“The board of directors felt that it was necessary to bring someone on to lead the organization through this very exciting and very busy time.” Kish noted that the hospice will have a number of major announcements coming this fall. “We know the community will embrace and support as we help to ensure that the (hospice) remains available and sustainable.” Originally from Alberta, Kish moved to White Rock with her husband, Rob.

Shelly Lynn Nellis (left) and Marnie Miller hope there may be a allergy-safe camp in the future.
Lack of registrants, ambulance
Camp cancelled Sarah Massah Staff Reporter
A unique camp that would be safe for children with allergies has been cancelled, much to the disappointment of two South Surrey moms. Marnie Miller and Shelly Lynn Nellis had spearheaded a campaign to have a camp safe and inclusive for children with allergies, after finding there was no option for their own – both of which have serious, lifethreatening allergies. But despite a lastminute push to spread the word about the summer sleep-away retreat at Stave Lake’s Zajac Ranch, a lack of registration and
medical requirements forced the women to cancel. “We could not get an ambulance to stay on site at all times, (and) the camp was too far from a hospital to not have one there,” Nellis said. The camp would have been a rare opportunity for Miller’s son, Luke, to enjoy an overnight trip without having to worry about a serious allergy attack. “We’re very disappointed and Luke is devastated and wonders if he’ll ever get a chance to do something like this,” Miller said, noting she still holds out hope that some day, the camp will happen.

When the opportunity came to travel to China, Yu decided to take on the challenge. “We’ll obviously be speaking to the government, and we’ll also be visiting schools and donating supplies,” she said. “We’ll also be volunteering at the Oxfam Rehabilitation Centre. “We’re definitely hoping to achieve awareness because children with disabilities, especially in China, are often neglected.” While abroad, the youth will share their goals for “disability justice and youth empowerment” with students at international schools, professors and government officials, as well as their research and experience running after-school programs, including the SDC AfterSchool Connection music
therapy program in Richmond and the SDC Birthday Surprise program in Surrey. Since it has been established, the organization has helped more than 100 children with disabilities locally and globally through fundraisers, projects and therapy programs, according to an SDC release. While Yu acknowledged that the task may not be easy, she is optimistic about the impact the group will make. “We hope that the government will be responsive. I definitely think that, because we are youth and we are from North America, it’s a unique opportunity to speak to them and make some changes,” she said.

Peninsula Productions have a solid laugh-getter on their hands with this summer’s offering, a revival of Noël Coward’s very British comedy, Blithe Spirit. Some reservations aside, this is Peninsula’s best and most consistent summer show yet, following on a fine track record that includes Waiting For The Parade (2011), The Mousetrap (2012) and The Game’s Afoot (2013).

Rocky Horror, ABBA act and an Amazing Race mark end of era
Clova going out with a bang Jennifer Lang Black Press
With just a month to go until it closes forever, the Clova Cinema is adding events to its final weekend, starting with two screenings of the Rocky Horror Picture Show on Friday, Aug. 1. Tickets are already on sale ($10 in advance, $15 at the door) for the cult film, showing at 9:30 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. Costumes are encouraged, and prop bags ($5) will be available. The Clova has also announced it’s hosting the second-annual Amazing Race Cloverdale. Teams of four to six members can now register for the fun-filled challenge, slated for Saturday, Aug. 2 in

the historic town centre, starting at noon at the Clova. Later on, the Clova presents ABRA Cadabra, an ABBA tribute band (tickets are $30 for adults, $20 for children). The weekend wraps up with The Great Clova Auction on Sunday, Aug. 3 starting at 1:30 p.m., when fans can purchase a piece of Clova history. The Clova opened in 1947. A digital
projector would have ushered in a new era for the Clova, but operator Craig Burghardt wasn’t able to secure a long-term lease with the building’s owner. The cinema had organized an inventive fundraising campaign in hopes of securing enough cash to modernize the projection system. But in March, it was announced the building had been sold to a church. The family-owned single-screen cinema – one of the last of its kind in operation in the Lower Mainland – will be showing movies right up to its final weekend. The Clova Cinema is located at 5732 176 St.. For more information about the Cloverdale theatre, visit www.TheClova.com

Difficult to judge era with costumes Similarly, Stefania Wheelhouse, as Edith, the Condomines’ inexperienced new maid, wins a laugh or two with some odd, inconsequential behavior, but never manages to relate it to a credible series of motivations. It’s unfortunate that Bollard should have settled on this approach for a key supporting player, as it sets a good show off rather on the wrong foot. On the plus side of the ledger, an excellent, virtually flawless English country house set – designed by Matt Vondette and built by Richard Stanyer – is so strong that it almost qualifies as a character in its own right, and it has been lovingly decorated by Mahara Sinclaire. Lighting (Vondette again) and sound effects are well achieved – aside from over-heavy knocking by Arcati’s spirit guide – and it’s nice to hear Coward’s own songs among Samantha Giffin’s selection of incidental music. The production’s welcome attention to detail can be seen in Rosemary Schuster’s properties – including a vintage copy of The Times. Anais West’s costumes strive to flatter the actors; she has included some nice pieces to offset a few aberrations, and has made a stab, at least, at evoking period atmosphere. The only question is which period? Granted, there is an inherent problem of deciding in which year to set a play that, while written during the Second World War, makes no reference to it. But a specific determination of the era would have been useful – as it stands, it’s hard to judge from scene to scene whether this production is aiming for a pre-war or post-war look. Blithe Spirit runs until July 26 at White Rock’s Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for students/seniors (plus service charges), from 604-536-7535 or www. peninsulaproductions. org

i from page 15 out its welcome. As the novelist, Charles Condomine, Odberg hits all the right notes of initial confusion and anguish – almost Wodehouseian in his goggleeyed reaction as his comfortable, uppercrust train of existence derails, carriage by carriage. Some fine moments of rapport with both of his leading ladies are also telling – as is the amusing sense, later in the play, that Charles has begun to enjoy contemplating the potential of a most unconventional menage. Ever-reliable player Tych, as Charles’ present wife, Ruth, delivers another splendidly judged performance, resisting shrillness in a nuanced depiction of a demanding woman infuriated by her husband’s apparent lunacy (he alone can see and converse with the ghost of his first wife, Elvira) before realizing, a little too late, that she’s competing with the shade of her predecessor. Without eclipsing her co-stars, Clark takes full ownership of the role of the capricious, freespirited, occasionally petulant Elvira, her characterization pitchperfect in ’30s-’40s tone and manner, and invested with a grand sense of fun, a twinkle in her eye, and good chemistry with Odberg’s Charles. Wood, as Dr. Bradman, draws a sure portrait of an affable, if skeptical friend, while Reader is consistently amusing, and on the mark, as his wellmeaning but frequently bewildered wife. As Madame Arcati, the medium whose intervention in the spirit world precipitates the chaotic sequence of events, Annabel Kershaw provides the calledfor eccentricity and extravagance, but falls short of making her endearing. While she dips frequently into a capacious bag of tricks to elicit laughs, it’s a performance that leans more toward clownishness than characterization.

Jamie Smith’s work displayed
New art show A new art show at White Rock Community Centre will feature the work of White Rock-bornand-raised painter and multimedia artist Jamie Smith. Entitled Confessions, the exhibit will be launched with a public opening reception tonight (Thursday) at 7 p.m. at the centre. Smith’s works are typically full of layers of colour, text, image and pattern and Confessions is no
exception. Hundreds of anonymous confessions were submitted to the artist for use in the series, and those handwritten words peep through colour fields and geometric shapes to create a unique fusion of text and mood. Confessions will run at the centre, 15154 Russell Ave., until Aug. 30. For more information on opening hours, call 604-541-2199.

Top 5 coolest wagons ever to our wonderful customers and suppliers for making Greco’s 30 thAnniversary a Celebration to Remember
Bob Sass
Station wagons are officially an endangered species in North America. Richard Nixon was president when the last really cool one was built in America. A quick look at the cars on this list might make you re-think any preconceived notions that wagons were all “Mom Mobiles” for the preminivan generation.
1955-’57 Chevrolet Nomad The iconic Tri-Five Chevy, built from 1955-1957, was likely the post-war high-water mark for Chevrolet. It came in myriad body styles and was available with the first version of Chevrolet’s legendary small-block V8. The two-door Nomad wagon gives even the convertible a serious run for its money in the cool department.
The 1971 Oldsmobile Vista. to the point of defeating the purpose of having a wagon in the first place, but they look cool. We love the firstgeneration Chevelle two-door wagon for its handy size, great looks and the fact that all of the performance parts from the two-door SS coupe will fit on the wagon, making it a great sleeper muscle car.
1959 Pontiac Safari The 1950s were littered with cool station wagons with over-the-top styling. Our vote goes for the ’59 Pontiac Safari. That was the model year in which tail fins reached their absurd apex. The ’59 Safari actually had two sets of fins on the top and the bottom of the rear fenders, making it look like a Redstone ballistic missile – which was probably not an accident.
1964-’65 Cevrolet Chevelle Two-door wagons are very impractical
1968-’72 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser The Vista Cruiser and the Ford Country Squire are the cars that immediately come to mind when referring to the “back backseat,” and it was probably in one of these wagons where the classic slow-burn phrase “Don’t make me come back there” was first uttered by an agitated father. The Olds gets the nod in terms of cool, simply because we love the glass roof and GM’s spot-on styling work.
Budge1971-’73 Volvo 1800ES Volvo of the 1960s and ‘70s wasn’t exactly a company synonymous with high style. Frumpy but practical 544s, Amazons and brick-like 240s were the stereotypical Volvos of the day. But the P1800 coupe was gorgeous, and for a few brief model years it was available as a very pretty two-door sports wagon. Nicknamed “Cinderella’s Coffin” by some for their long, flat roof lines and generous glass, these wagons are among the few truly collectible Volvos — and they run virtually forever.

Formula 1 is close by
Keith Morgan
Even if you squint while looking at the hybrid gas-electric car on your driveway, you likely have a hard time imagining it is anything like an F1 racecar. However, the new advanced hybrid technology at play in this 2014 season means that Formula 1 has never been closer to your driveway. The car power units are 1600cc turbocharged V6 engines with direct fuel injection. They have to complete each race with 35 per cent less fuel, with a maximum fuel load of 100kg (not litres) and the fuel flow is restricted to 100 kg/hour. That would mean your favourite driver would bow out half way through without further engineering help. In addition, the power units have two electric motors, one linked directly to the turbocharger, the other

working in the same way that the Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) used to do. The result is a combined maximum power output of around 760bhp, which is similar to the output of the V8 cars of last year. It is a certainty that the rapid-fire experimentation that is going on in F1 will result in improvements to our everyday cars. That’s the beauty of this highly competitive sport that is so geared to winning. Changes come faster because there’s no chance to undertake testing that takes an age under normal testing. Last year, when I visited the Monaco Grand Prix as a guest of the Infiniti-Red Bull F1 race team, I chatted to Infiniti engineers who marvelled at the pace of improvement. Said one Infiniti engineer: “They do things so much more quickly than we can do under normal development processes because they have to. And the changes they make are so thoroughly tested on the track. It points two ways: Sometimes what they do

shows us the way to go but also the way not to go. Hong Kong-based Infiniti has made a very shrewd move in tying itself to the F1 team and particularly the reigning F1 champion, Sebastian Vettel. The German racer is the marque’s director of performance. His association goes far beyond the typical celebrity endorsement, for he takes a literal hands-on-the-wheel approach to his role. Last year, I drove with Vettel on the Paul Ricard circuit in the south of France. He talked enthusiastically about how he hoped to influence future Infiniti design and performance. At trackside, Infiniti personnel were impressed with his ability to tell them what changes they needed to make to its set-up after only a couple of laps of the track. He has played a significant role in the development of the compact Q30, which should surface later next year. He has already left his mark on the all-new Infiniti Q50 sport sedan and sports car enthusiasts pray a high-powered “Eau Rouge” version of the car will hit the production line. Now, if I were a betting man, I would say confirmation of production might be soon. Yours truly, will join the team again next month at the Belgian Grand Prix, at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps... location of the famous “Eau Rouge” corner. We will drive Q50s from the south of England, through the Euro Tunnel and on to Spa. Immediately prior to the race weekend, yours truly will join international journalists in a behind-thescenes visit to the team’s U.K. base in Milton Keynes. There we will learn something about the fast track work they carry out on the F1 cars. I suspect we will get a peek in what is in store for that car on your driveway and you will read about it here. keith.morgan@driveway. bc.ca

The sporty Macan precession. It’s the lack of a trunk release that makes the design so pleasing. Instead, a small button on the base of the windshield wiper electronically releases the power tailgate. by Zack Spencer
When the Porsche Cayenne was introduced, I questioned why the iconic sports car maker would build a grocery-getting SUV. Boy was I ever wrong. Porsche was not only successful introduced the Cayenne, it went into become its best-selling vehicle and – wait for it – I even bought one! So, with the latest introduction of a smaller SUV called Macan, there is less fanfare around the fact that it actually exists and more excitement about how it performs. The bigger question is with so many small luxury SUVs entering the market, is the Macan worth the $54,300 to get a base model or $82,200 for the turbo?
Looks The Macan uses the same platform as the Audi Q5, a Volkswagen Group sibling, but features an entirely different body shell and engine options. The most striking design element is the wide hood that folds over the side of the front fenders, making a seamless, wide stance that is impressive. The hood actually has cutouts for the headlamps and weighs only 17kg. “Side Blades” decorate the lower body of the Macan and can be ordered in black, a matching body colour or carbon fibre. The back end of the Macan is particularly sleek and tidy, the taillights wrap around from the side and into the tailgate with
Drive The launch of the Macan in California provided a route that carved through the mountains outside of Los Angeles on the way to Willow Springs racetrack. Porsche always holds its events at a racecourse, proof that they believe they have something in this new SUV. The base model is 3.0L V6 with 340hp. The “Turbo” gets a larger 3.6L V6 with a higher output turbocharger and is rated at 400hp. Driving on back country roads, the power was fantastic and the additional money could be spent upgrading the suspension from the base steel springs to steel with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) that allows the driver to set the firmness of the ride.
Verdict I love the way the Macan looks, the interior is wonderful and the handling can be very sporty if the buyer chooses. Here is the issue: the Macan can get very expensive in a hurry. Having recently driven the spectacular Audi SQ5, from which this car is based, that 354hp rocket is a bargain at $60,000, almost fully equipped. I like the Macan, and they will sell every one to people who want to have the latest, but I think the pricing structure is a bit over the top.

Women’s teams to conclude round-robin play Saturday, followed by playoff round for Canadian Open
Canada kicks off with impressive start Rick Kupchuk & Michaela Garstin
runs while scoring twice. Stephanie Caron had a pair of hits and three RBIs. Team U.S.A., which defeated Canada 5-2 in the World Cup’s championship game Sunday morning, split their first two games. The Americans blanked the Bloomington Lady Hearts 8-0 in five innings Tuesday afternoon, as Jessica Moore tossed a no-hitter that featured nine strikeouts. Moore didn’t allow a Lady Heart batter to get on base. In the evening, Japan rocked U.S.A. pitching for 12 hits for a 9-2 win. A five-run third inning broke a 2-2 tie, and two more runs in the fifth upped the Japan advantage to seven runs, invoking the mercy rule and ending the game. Yu Yamamoto led Japan with three hits including a double and a home run, scoring two runs. Round-robin play will conclude Saturday afternoon, to be followed by a playoff round Saturday evening and all day Sunday. Three teams will advance to the final day of play. A semifinal at 5 p.m. Monday will be followed by the championship game at 7:30 p.m. The Futures (under-19) tournaments are also taking place at Softball City and Cloverdale Athletic Park. The championship games in both the Futures Gold and Futures Showcase tournaments will take place Sunday at 1:30 p.m. at Softball City.

eam Canada had an impressive start to the Scotiabank Canadian Open in South Surrey Tuesday night, blasting Basque Country (Spain) 13-0 in the first game of the women’s tournament for both teams. Canada needed just three innings to end the game on the 10-run mercy rule, scoring six times in each of the first two innings and adding another in the third, doing the damage while hammering out a dozen hits. The win came a few hours after Team Canada was introduced to local fans in the afternoon, its first appearance since placing second to Team U.S.A. at the World Cup of Softball IX in Irvine, Calif. last weekend. “We have a very good team mixed with veterans – several of whom played in the 2008 Olympics – and a sprinkle of younger players and rookies with excellent softball background,” Gregg Timm, president of the Canadian Open Fastpitch Society, told Black Press while the team held its first practice at Softball City. In its first game, Richmond native Sarah Hopwood put Canada on the scoreboard in the top of the opening inning, driving in the game’s first three runs with a twoout, bases-loaded double. Two

Caitlin Lever, Wideman, Erika Polidori and North Delta native Jen Yee each had a pair of hits in the game. Karissa Hovinga was the winning pitcher, allowing only a third-

White Rock Renegades 2000 bring home the provincial title The White Rock Renegades 2000 girls fast-pitch team has been named the 2014 provincial champion. The team took home the title following a 4-3 victory over the Richmond Islanders this past Sunday on Vancouver Island.
A two-out single in the bottom of the seventh inning scored the winning run as the Renegades captured their first provincial championship. “I am very proud of these players and everything they accomplished this year,” head
coach Natasha Dypchey said in a news release. “They have all been working hard since September when the team was formed and their hard work paid off. “Being provincial champions was goal number one.” The Renegades were undefeated
in the 13-team tournament, outscoring their opponents 62-7 in eight games. Richmond Islanders took home silver and Surrey Storm 01 won bronze, while Pride 2000 finished fourth. The ’Gades are set to host more
than 20 teams from across the country for the U14 Canadian Championships Aug. 6-10 at Softball City. For more information about the national championships, visit www.championship.softball.ca/ u14girls

Semi Peewee Girls named B.C. champs Alex Browne Staff Reporter
The Semiahmoo Peewee Girls Lacrosse team are B.C. champions after a 10-0 win over Ridge Meadows in the provincial tournament final last weekend in Maple Ridge. For the 11- and 12-year-olds, members of Semiahmoo Minor Lacrosse, it was a stunning conclusion to a stunning season in which they scored 26 wins to only one loss. All the more surprising is the fact that the 16-girl box lacrosse (arena) squad has only been in existence for four years, built from the ground up by coach Mark Betts, a Surrey firefighter and lifelong lacrosse enthusiast, whose daughter, Emma, was the team’s MVP this year. Team manager Regan Snyder – mom of player Claire Snyder and wife of assistant coach Colin Snyder – said Sunday’s win was a vindication of Betts’ faith and the girls’ athleticism and cheerful determination, after a rocky first three years of developing skills and recruiting members. It’s also a convincing arrival for girls lacrosse, which had previously been under-represented on the Peninsula, Snyder said. Betts acknowledged the story – and its triumphant conclusion this year – has all the heart-tugging appeal of a movie scenario. Going into the tournament (July 9-13) Semiahmoo was the dominant team in the division, Betts said, but a season-long winning streak (18-0) was about to end. “In the third game of the round-robin, we lost to the Ridge Meadows team 6-5 in overtime,” Betts said, adding that the game was played at 5 p.m., by which time the heat in the valley – already fierce – had risen to 35 degrees in the arena. “They got hit in the face by the heat, and the other girls played well,” he said. “When they lost the game they were devastated – they burst into tears. They hadn’t dealt with that kind of adversity. It took us three days of building them up, getting them to realize they were still as good.” But the payoff was sweet, Betts said, adding that the final rematch with Ridge Meadows was played at 8:45 a.m., when heat was not yet a factor. “They came back,” he said. “They destroyed them 10 to nothing.” It’s a far cry from the team’s first season in 2011 in which they played 18 games – and didn’t win one.
“They were getting slaughtered, but they still had fun,” Betts said, noting that the speed and physicality of the fast-running, quick-changing game quickly wins converts, including team parents, and has drawn in many local recruits from the ranks of girls soccer. “Every girl who plays lacrosse loves it,” he said. “It’s something different – the physicality of it, putting on the shoulder pads and helmets. They love that aspect of it.” Building from a core group of girls that included both of his daughters (one has now moved on to bantam division play) he worked on skills and encouraging players to bring in their friends. “The next year we won a few games, and the year after after that we won a few more,” he said. With strong athletes who had the benefit of several years experience, and an influx of six or seven girls who’d had a chance to build skills last year, he felt good about the peewees’ chances this season, he said. “I knew they were going to be good, but I didn’t think they were going to be this good,” he said. “I knew we’d be competitive and make it to the provincials, but I didn’t see us being this dominant.” Snyder said she and other parents were surprised at Betts’ confidence at the beginning of the season, particularly in light of earlier seasons’ less-than-stellar results. “He told us, ‘be sure the girls are available for the time of the provincials,’” she recalled. “We said ‘really?’ but he was insistent this was the year.” Not even a White Rock civic strike, that meant finding other venues than Centennial Arena for practices and games, put a dent in the winning season, Snyder said. Betts said that for all the excitement over the championship, the Semiahmoo peewee story is far from over – and there’s plenty of scope for younger girls who want to get involved. “Next year we need to rebuild – most of our players are moving up to the bantam division.” That means the team will be on the lookout for new players in Grade 5 and 6 – and the peewees also want to start a novice team for girls in Grade 4. And for those interested in outdoor play, Betts is also involved in starting a U-12 field lacrosse team through the Surrey Warriors, for which registration is open now (www.surreylacrosse. com).

White Rock team two wins away from clinching playoff berth
NOTARY PUBLIC
Tritons end six-game losing streak Rick Kupchuk Black Press
The White Rock Tritons brought a six-game losing streak to an end in impressive fashion. The B.C. Premier Baseball League team swept the second-place North Shore Twins in a double-header Sunday at South Surrey Athletic Park, preventing their opponents from overtaking the first-place Langley Blaze. The Tritons are now 21-20 (won-lost) with seven games remaining on their schedule. The are in seventh place, and two wins away from clinching
a playoff berth. White Rock won the first game with a solid pitching effort from Scott Doucet, who threw a complete-game shutout that featured eight strikeouts. The 17-year-old student from Earl Marriott Secondary didn’t allow a walk. The Tritons did all the scoring in the fourth inning, where they had three of their game total of four hits. Juan Paez was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, allowing Dylan Yeager to score the winning run. Two batters later, Daniel Cassino drew a bases-loaded walk, then Aaron Wiegert
cleared the bases with a threerun double. Offence was the story in the second game, as the two teams had eight hits each and swapped the lead six times. White Rock trailed 8-6 when they batted in the bottom of the seventh inning, three outs away from a loss. North Shore pitching struggled, walking the first three batters, then hitting Cassino with a pitch to bring in one run. Paez then hit a sacrifice fly to tie the game with two out, setting up Liam Rihela, who singled to score Jason Hill from third base and end the game.

Surrey, White Rock athletes set for BC Games Some of the best young athletes from across the province will be boarding a ferry to Vancouver Island this week, as the BC Summer Games get set to launch today (Thursday). South Surrey, Cloverdale and White Rock athletes are among the 2,500 expected to compete at the games, which run July 17-20 in
Nanaimo. Where the Peninsula is best represented is in track and field, with Georgia Ginther, Jaxon Mackie, Alexa Porpaczy, Dawson Ribiero and Cloverdale’s Jessica Urban set to compete. Surrey’s Kellie Robertson will also compete in the Special Olympics division of track and field. A pair of White Rock-South Sur-
rey Baseball Association members – Jackson Hogg and Sam Shoemaker – will also represent the Fraser Valley (Zone 3) on the ball diamond. In the equestrian competition, Haley Down, Elyse Hodel and Courtney Palleson will compete, while Emily Down will take part in the rowing competition.
Three White Rock athletes will also be in Nanaimo – softball player Casey Gareau, swimmer Catherine Grimme and volleyball player Christian Wagner. In total, more than 150 athletes from throughout Surrey are signed up for the Games. The Fraser Valley has fared well in recent BC Games. At the Surrey-
hosted BC Summer Games in 2012, Valley athletes finished second overall, with 163 medals, and last February, at the 2014 BC Winter Games, held in Mission, the Valley team placed first overall. For a full list of BC Summer Games participants, visit www. bcgames.org – Nick Greenizan
B.C. grant money helps support Surrey sports and arts groups Sports and arts groups throughout Surrey – including a handful from the south-end of the city – have received more than $611,000 in community gaming grants from the B.C. government.
Among the local groups receiving funds are Surrey Minor Hockey ($100,000); Canadian Amateur Diving Association ($100,000); Cloverdale Curling Club ($34,000); BC Aquasonics Synchronized Swim-
ming ($30,500); White Rock Divers ($30,200); Cloverdale Minor Baseball ($30,000); Surrey-White Rock Ringette ($25,000); Surrey Sharks Field Hockey ($20,000); Cloverdale Community Football Association
($22,000); Cloverdale Tritons Summer Swim Club ($19,600); and the Nicomekl Rowing Club ($7,500 for its learn-to-row program). “I’m delighted that we’re able to help these community groups
continue the great work they do,” Surrey-Panorama MLA Marvin Hunt said. “These funds give many of these organizations the stability they need to continue from year to year.”

Morningstar shines at The Summit at Grant Hill By Kerry Vital
You’ll be living at the top of the world at Morningstar Homes’ newest project, The Summit at Grant Hill in Maple Ridge. “We haven’t built in Maple Ridge before,” says Deborah Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar. “Where else can you get a 3,900-square-foot luxury home on a ½ acre homesite for an amazing price? You just can’t.” Morningstar has long been known for its high-quality finishings and gorgeous homes, and this is certainly continuing at The Summit at Grant Hill.
“This is a really beautiful area,” Calahan says. “We’re offering big value and luxury combined – the best of both worlds – and at an exciting price!” The four-bedroom homes range from 3,840 to 3,900 square feet, with three-car garages, unfinished basements and vaulted ceilings on the second floor. “These are some of our best designs ever,” says Calahan. “We always do something new that’s specific to the neighbourhood, and add new twists.” Those twists include walls of windows that let the natural light pour into your space, and allow for some seriously gorgeous views.
“These homes are really luxurious,” says Calahan. “We’ve created new designs that address the stunning views and natural surroundings with grand foyers to welcome you, extra-large kitchens that are truly the heart of the home and elegant linear fireplaces that make a statement.” Window seats for admiring the view are included in most bedrooms, and the spalike ensuite is truly huge, with a stand-alone tub and semi-frameless five-foot shower with a seat. The master bedrooms are always spectacular in Morningstar homes, and this one at The Summit at Grant Hill is no exception. The large windows are continued here, and Morningstar is offering buyers the ability to include a master bedroom sitting room as part of their floorplan. Other possible customized options include glass hand rails on the stairs, a deluxe finished basement with a wet bar or granite island

We thought of you with love today But that is nothing new, We thought of you yesterday And days before that too. We thought of you in silence, We often speak your name, All we have are memories And your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, With which we’ll never part, God has you in his keeping, We have you in our heart.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of William Edwin Wentland. He is cherished by his wife Hildegard, of 61 years. Lovingly remembered by his children: Gudrun Anderson and Heidi (Ray) Illig; grandchildren: James (Manpreet) Cody, Aaron Lindenbach, Blake Illig, Donavan Illig, Joshua Illig and Josiah Illig and one greatgrandchild Nitika Lindenbach. Born in Shoenwalde Poland William spent the first 23 years of his life in Poland and later Germany before immigrating to Canada in 1954, spending time in the interior of B.C. before settling in Vancouver. William spent years working in different forms of industry, spending the last 20 years working for Alcan Aluminum (Rio Tinto) in Richmond B.C. William had an amazing memory for detail and often told stories of years gone by. He was a gifted musician which included playing the accordion, piano, harmonica and clarinet, not to mention years spent singing in various choirs. William will be remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend who was blessed with a wonderful sense of humor and strength of character. He was an intelligent, kind and generous man and will be sadly missed by all who knew him, an overall amazing human being. A memorial service will be held Friday July 18, 2014 at Evergreen Manor, 1531 Everall St., White Rock B.C. at 3:30pm. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society.
