Players Club fallout, as board members split over artistic director’s criminal record

Mooney stays on, others step down Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Ryan Mooney

The future of Ryan Mooney’s position as board member and artistic director of the White Rock Players Club will rest with club members, according to pastpresident Dave Baron. Contrary to a report last week from a longtime board member – who has since offered her own resignation – Mooney has not submitted a resigna-

tion after his record as a sex offender surfaced in media last week. “We had a meeting (of the Players Club board) Monday,” Baron said this week. “We have not asked for Ryan Mooney’s resignation. He continues in his elected position.” Asked about earlier statements made by a Players Club representative that Mooney had resigned from his volunteer positions, Baron said only that “he

was thinking about it.” “We talked about it. He has not resigned, and we have not asked for it.” Instead, two other members of the board – president Angie Koropatnisky and long-serving treasurer Gwenne Farrell – have resigned and at least one other is rumoured to have resigned. As well, vice-president and former club publicist Katherine Stadel, who last week would not comment on

reports that she’s resigning, told Peace Arch News she already had plans not to run again for the board. Mooney, 32, received a one-year conditional sentence in 2009 after pleading guilty to sexually assaulting a 15-yearold girl in an incident that took place in another community in 2006, where he was working as a choreographer on a high school production. i see page 4

Friends and family members of wellknown South Surrey real-estate developer John Mele are in mourning after the 43-year-old died late last week while boating on Washington’s Osoyoos Lake. The Morgan Creek father of three is being remembered as someone whom everyone knew, and as a family man whom others turned to for help. Mele drowned Friday afternoon after he reportedly did a backJohn Mele flip off the side of a boat and into the lake. According to his older sister, Chris Reid, he resurfaced once briefly, then went back underwater. Mele’s three children – Matthew, 14; Ben, 10; and Olivia, 8 – were on the boat, along with Mele’s longtime friend Darren Mahaffey and his three children. Mele’s wife, Debbie, was on shore with Mahaffey’s wife, about 150 yards from the boat, Reid said. i see page 4

he closing of the Clova Theatre on Sunday, after 67 years as a community theatre, is truly the end of an era. While the building will likely be refurbished for use as a church, it will no longer be a movie theatre. It will no longer be a gathering place for the community, as it has been for most of its illustrious career. My memories of the Clova go back a long ways. It was the first movie theatre I ever attended as a small child, and I still remember seeing the movie – Peter Pan.

OPCC commissioner says no reason to conclude police consultant tried to avoid liability

Driver wondered if he hit someone, left Monique Tamminga Black Press

The Surrey RCMP consultant who hit and killed Andrew Leduc hosed off blood on the bumper of the semi he was driving, hours before calling police to report he likely hit someone. The detail is revealed in the report released by the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner last week. The Commissioner reviewed the criminal investigation into the driver, agreeing with Surrey RCMP major crimes that there is no evidence to conclude the driver knew he hit and killed anyone on Aug. 7. No criminal charges are being sought, and the driver has never been publicly named. “Based on the available evidence, I am of the view that there is not a reasonable basis to believe that (the driver) had knowledge that he had collided with a person and had departed the scene with the intention to avoid liability,” concludes OPCC Commissioner Stan Lowe in the report. “The lighting conditions at the time of the

collision were further compromised by the misaligned headlights on the tractor. Furthermore, the likelihood of encountering a person bent over in a lane of traffic in that particular stretch of roadway at that time of morning was very remote and may have contributed to the driver’s mistaken belief at the time of the incident.” The victim’s family were first to get a copy of the report. “Reading this report, there are a number of shocking reasons why this man should have been charged and yet here he is, not even with a motor-vehicle ticket,” said the 37-year-old victim’s brother, Adam Leduc. The report, released July 29, notes the statute of limitations has expired, as charges for motor-vehicle infractions must be made within six months of the incident. “This guy hosed off the evidence on the truck. I was told he didn’t tamper with any evidence and then I get this report saying otherwise,” the sibling said. The police investigation reveals that the RCMP consultant was driving along Langley

Kevin Larkin is seeking witnesses in what he’s describing as a hit-and-run, but police say the case is “more like a child falling off his bike.”

Police maintain incident wasn’t a hit-and-run

Father critical of handling of bike crash Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

A South Surrey father is trying to find answers after he says White Rock RCMP closed his young son’s hit-and-run case without catching the driver. However, according to police, the child fell into a parked car while riding his bike. Kevin Larkin told Peace Arch News Tuesday he is looking for witnesses after his nine-yearold son was clipped by a white SUV with white door handles while bike riding with a friend around 4 p.m. July 22 near Goggs Avenue and Best Street. Larkin said his son suffered cuts to his left leg from his knee to his shin and suffers from pain in his hips. He added that his son’s bike was also damaged from hitting the SUV’s wheelwell, and the front tire and handle bars were not aligned anymore.

After taking his son to the docnoting the case was now closed. “It tor, Larkin contacted White Rock was thoroughly investigated.

The White Rock Sea Festival was back in fine fettle on the August long weekend. And Michelle Pedersen, president of the fledgling White Rock Events Society, said that, while a postfestival meeting of organizers is yet to take place, the event was successful and even exceeded her expectations for this year. “We’re already looking forward to doing it again next year,” she said, adding that organizers would like to fine-tune some elements, including setting an effective shuttle to bring more people down to the beach without having to worry about traffic and parking. “We came close to doing that this year, but there just wasn’t the money to do it properly,” she said. Thousands attended various events during the weekend and crowds were out in large numbers for the headliner performance by the Powder Blues Band at the White Rock stage on Saturday night, for the ever-popular Waiters’ Race, and lining Marine Drive on both East Beach and West Beach for Sunday’s torchlight parade. While City of White Rock communications officer Shannon Levesque could not give an official number of attendees – “with no set entry or exit point, it’s near impossible to give an official count” – she said the city was “very pleased with the turnout – it was very well attended.” Pedersen said she was gratified to hear that while attendance was up, policing the three-day event had posed no significant problems or issues for White Rock RCMP.

Strong support team helps family i from page 1 “I think everyone expected him to come back up. They probably thought he was just swimming to the other side of the boat to surprise the kids,” Reid told Peace Arch News Tuesday morning. “But then when he didn’t come up, Darren jumped in to find him, but that lake is so murky.” Okanogan County Sheriff ’s Office would reveal little information, telling PAN: “The incident is still under investigation and the report is not complete.” However, Sheriff Frank Rogers confirmed divers spent the weekend searching for Mele. His body was recovered Sunday morning, when more advanced sonar equipment was brought in. “He was like a second brother to me,” said brother-in-law Gary Hawes, who was nine years old when his sister met Mele. “He was a guy I could always look up to. He was so successful in business – he always had lots on

the go but never bit off more than he could chew – and he always put his family first. He was just so loved. I never heard anyone say a bad thing about him.” Though an autopsy has yet to be completed, Reid and Hawes both said many believe Mele suffered some kind of medical issue while in the water, which led to his drowning. There were no signs of stress or struggle, they said. Mele was well-known in the community for his business endeavours – he and friend Chuck Westgard operated Royal Lepage Westgard Realty – and he also coached youth baseball. “Last year, his oldest son Matthew’s baseball team made it to nationals, and that was the highlight of John’s sports (life),” Reid said. “He was just so proud of him, as he is of all his kids.” She noted “everyone seems to have a story about John – a lot of people had the same stories.” And he seemed to be able to

find a solution for any problem. “No matter what it was, if he thought something needed doing, or fixing, he just went and did it… If he couldn’t do it, he had a guy. Or if he didn’t have a guy, he had a guy who had a guy. He just took care of everybody.” Reid noted that as siblings, she and her brother didn’t always see eye to eye, but that he would always come through. “He could infuriate me to no end,” she said with a laugh, “but that’s what brothers are supposed to do… I always knew that if I needed him, he was there for me.” Mele’s immediate family are doing as well as could be expected, Reid said, noting support from friends and family has helped. “The kids are holding up OK, and Debbie is being as strong as she can. They’re going to be OK,” she said. “They have an army of people to help them out, but they’ll have some awfully big shoes to fill.”

Dave Baron Mooney pleaded guilty to an incident that took place when he was 24. The court heard evidence that he had taken a girl he had befriended during the high school production into the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;green room,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; locked the door, placed his hands on her chest and suggested that she perform oral sex on him. The girl resisted his advances and left the room. His sentence, which included no jail time, had the condition that he have no contact with anyone under 18 but did not impose a curfew. The judge agreed with the Crownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestion that Mooneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sentence should not prevent him from continuing to work on theatrical productions or â&#x20AC;&#x153;deprive him of his livelihood.â&#x20AC;? Mooney has since done work as a director and actor with his own Vancouver-based theatre group Fighting Chance Productions, and, more recently, with White Rock Players Club, although he has not worked on the annual Christmas pantomime, the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s principal production that includes youth involvement.

Respect on two wheels and four

fear of death shouldn’t be what keeps people from choosing to ride a bicycle. But it might. A cyclist was killed last week in Richmond. Last Thursday, another was struck and injured by a hit-and-run driver on the Mary Hill Bypass in Port Coquitlam. Closer to home, a father says his nine-yearold son was struck by an SUV – which fled the scene – while riding his bike with a friend near Goggs Avenue in White Rock last month. And though RCMP investigators say the incident was not a hit-and-run – insisting instead that the youngster fell off his bike – the situation still brings road-safety issues to the forefront. No matter who is at fault for the young cyclist’s injuries – thankfully, he escaped serious harm, but suffered cuts and scrapes to his legs – the outcome could have been worse, and future situations in which cyclists ride in close proximity to moving vehicles may not go the same way. The roads are packed with vehicles, driven by motorists weighed down by a multitude of potential distractions. The Lower Mainland has been expanding its cycling infrastructure but it needs more work – lots more work. But giving cyclists plenty of room on the road doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be safe from inattentive drivers. An average of 150 cyclists are injured in B.C. every month during the peak riding season of May to October, according to ICBC. We should all be encouraging more people to strap on helmets and take to the streets on two wheels – it’s healthy for commuters and recreational riders, the environment and a congested region. But those statistics don’t do much for a would-be cyclist’s confidence. Yes, cyclists must do their part. The insurance corporation advises them to never assume drivers can see them and to wear bright, reflective clothing and use lights at night. But how many times have you seen a motorist park in a bike lane? Fail to yield to a cyclist? Nearly knock a rider over while passing? It happens too often, and last week one rider lost their life and another was seriously hurt. Drivers and cyclists need to watch for each other at all times, use eye contact and hand signals. Moreover, we all need to make efforts to build greater respect between drivers and cyclists. Whether on two wheels or four, that starts with every one of us.

responsibility for approving residential zoning next to agricultural land, with little to no thought or care as to how this interface will manifest into conflict, especially when some of those farms switch from “silent” crops to blueberry farming, and choose cannons as their bird protection. The blueberry industry has become a juggernaut, and is poised to grow even larger as new Asian markets are opened up. Thousands of acres of agri land now growing cow feed or corn or raspberries are likely to be converted if the blue bonanza continues. So, this problem isn’t going to go away. It’s going to get worse. The provincial government has to grow a bigger set of berries, and finally tackle this issue, including: • Initiate strictly enforced and significantly increased maximum limits on the number of shots, minimum setbacks from housing, hours of operation and decibel levels. • Set a deadline for the graduated phaseout of all cannons – say, two years max. • Get on the research wagon and drive some innovative ideas and testing. • Examine existing starling management programs south of the border, develop built-in-B.C. versions and get them implemented forthwith. All manner of industries face strident regulations and restrictions on what they can and cannot do. Among them, the blueberry industry has been a sacred cow that needs to be led down a more contemporary path. Andrew Holota is the editor of the Abbotsford News, sister paper to the Peace Arch News.

Find a way to save the trees Editor: Re: City under fire for entranceway plan, July 22. I have lived in White Rock for 30 years. I have walked the Johnston Road sidewalks and hope to continue. At one time, I fell flat on my face on an uneven spot between Coast Capital and Russell Avenue. In the fall, when the majestic trees shed their leaves and it happens to rain in White Rock, I have slipped near the Whaling Wall. I still say, find a way to save the trees. Polly Tays, White Rock

years which featured, for the most part, acceptance and co-operation. Recently, however, BNSF rail has become less passenger orientated and morphed into many more longer trains with rolling stock containing general freight, U.S. thermal coal and dangerous goods. Our population has changed, as well. The urban sprawl now surrounds the rail corridor. Obviously, and not withstanding all the TSB rules and regulations, some common sense and

compromise must be available. Some of the engine drivers seem to be using this discretion, while others not so much. It is imperative that from rigid rules and regulations should come guidelines featuring common sense and that discretion. Most of society accept the risk of every day urban life dealing with motor vehicles, highways and pedestrian safety. Can’t we apply the same mentality to railroad safety? We all grew up exposed to the mantra of “stop, look and listen.”

In praise of honesty

Licence to share the faith? An open letter to the City of White Rock. I noticed on Saturday, at about 9:35 a.m. at Johnston and North Bluff, in the shade of Scotia Bank, the Jehovah’s Witness shift workers have set up a sophisticated brochure rack/banner to accompany their harassment of the public with the “Watch” newsletter. Are they required to have busker’s licences to be set up at this intersection by the bus stop on such a regular basis? It really does get tiresome to encounter them and come-hither calls and then their rebuttals for no-thanks – “we will send you prayers and blessings.” I am sure the people catching the bus find it as bothersome. Free speech is fine, and the thought perhaps having faith promoted may be well meaning. I expect other promoters of other faiths, including Hari Krishna in robes with music and tambourines, would call more public response. Kindly advise if a licence is required. Pat Petrala, White Rock

Keeping track of train blasts An open letter to BNSF. This has reference to the new order by the Transport Safety Board dated July 9 (Early ‘dawn’ let to 4 a.m. horn blasts, July 15). To begin, our community was happy to hear that good news. However, we’re not happy to continue to hear blasting train horns in the early hours of the morning. We don’t believe these blasts – whistling? – are caused by some imminent danger on the track between midnight and 4 a.m. This disruption in sleep is becoming a serious health issue for many of us. It is unfortunate that after 40 years of living by the “City by the Sea,” it could come down to “who leaves first?” White Rock and Crescent Beach have had a relationship for over 100

Our new signage with “stop, look and live” at any pedestrian crossing is ample visual education. To argue that the railroad and the cargo it is carrying is dangerous to be around raises the obvious issue of why, in 2014, is this allowed to transit through urban areas. In the meantime, could you encourage the engine drivers to not blast their “whistles” during the quiet hours, unless, of course, some fool poses an imminent danger to themselves and the mental health of the train operators. Dennis & Janice Smith, White Rock

Editor: A week ago Sunday, I put some small items on the curb with a sign that said. “Miscellaneous for Sale – apply within.” Each item had a price sticker on it. We went for an ice cream cone to Crescent Beach and, on our return, noticed that every item was gone. My husband said “oh oh” – someone helped themselves. The sign was gone. To our amazement, it was sitting on the corner of the mat at the front door and money was under the sign. Just had to share this wonderful story in praise of honesty and thanks to the people involved. M. Downey, Surrey

Edgar Paulse becomes one of the first to use a new bench for shoppers.

Sitting ovation earned Editor: About a month ago, I was walking past the Semiahmoo Shopping Centre’s Shoppers Drug Mart and saw an elderly gentleman in distress. He said he felt faint, so I looked for a place to help him sit down. There was nowhere to be found and, because he had his little dog with him, he couldn’t go into Shoppers. I stood with the gentleman until he felt better, and we went on our separate ways. I asked Shoppers why there were no benches in front for customers. Since the land belonged to the mall, they weren’t able to. I sent an email to mall management explaining what I had experienced and suggested it would be to the mall’s benefit to have a bench there. I must say I wasn’t all that hopeful but, to my surprise, a week or so later I received an email from the property manager Julia Sangerloo. She agreed there should be a bench and was going to have one installed. Yesterday, I was pleasantly surprised to see a beautiful bench installed in front of Shoppers Drug Mart. As I stood there admiring it, a gentleman sat down. He told me he comes to the mall every day and was so happy to find the bench there a few days earlier. As we chatted, I asked him if he’d mind if I took his picture, to which he said he would be happy to do so. I have included a picture of Edgar Paulse of Crescent Beach enjoying the shade on a hot summer day.

As I continued on into Shoppers, Edgar was joined by another senior shopper and, as I left the store, they were still there chatting and enjoying some camaraderie in a busy world. It made my heart glow to see that my few minutes of time to send a request to a big corporation has provided many people with an amenity they can use for their safety and enjoyment. Many thanks to Julia Sangerloo and Semiahmoo management. Well done. Jean Ouderkirk, Surrey Q On Sunday, a hot summer day, three senior citizens, among hundreds of others, drove to Crescent Beach for a swim in the ocean. After driving around the streets for some 15 minutes, we finally found a place to park the car a couple blocks from the beach. It was a bit too far for some of us to walk, so on our return I went to pick up the car while the other two waited. As I approached them with the car, I was surprised to see them both sitting on garden chairs, with a big grin on their faces. What had happened: as they were waiting in the heat leaning against a fire hydrant, a resident across the street, a complete stranger, saw them and brought them each a garden chair! Is this not a wonderful, thoughtful thing to do? How often does this happen? Blessings to him. Ritva MacLeod, White Rock

Language barrier Editor: Driving through South Surrey a few days ago, I saw a small homemade sign in front of a house. It had several Chinese characters and a phone number – nothing else. I took a picture and when I returned home I checked Google’s language translator. The translation? “For Rent.” In other words, the landlord was specifically advertising for a certain segment of the population. Can someone please explain how is this not racial prejudice? Ian Hynds, White Rock

Truly Good Samaritans Editor: We are extremely grateful and would like to extend our heartfelt thoughts to those folks who took the time to stop and offer help to my husband and me midday on Monday, July 28, when I took a wicked facedown tumble, sliding on gravel on Martin Street at Buena Vista. To the kind and comforting man who held my hand and took quiet control of the situation until fire fighters and paramedics arrived, and to the others who participated, you deserve more than just “thank you.” You are truly Good Samaritans.

SOUTH FRASER EDITION

Walking Club steps out every day Aging well is all about taking the right steps. And nothing rings more true for residents at Bria Communities, where they’re literally stepping up their game via regular walking groups. We’ve been doing it our whole lives. One foot in front of the other, without a thought. Yet at 80+, it can prove to be a little more challenging and require a more concerted effort. Let’s face it: balance and mobility are not necessarily what they used to be. But with a little incentive, good friends and time set aside, some residents at Bria Communities (two communities in Langley and two in Tsawwassen) are boldly stepping into increased health and longevity. Walkers head out whenever they desire, often up to three times a week, in big groups or small, sometimes with staff joining the fun. The residents themselves decide the route, frequency and duration. Groups can be as small as two, or as a larger group rambling and wheeling off to a nearby park or even just around the block. The fresh air, exercise

and camaraderie go a long way towards health and well-being. Other activities available at the residences, like the popular armchair fitness class, help to enhance the results even more so. Recreational programs and activities are always being tweaked and enhanced. There are even wheelchairbound attendees from the Care Centre at Magnolia Gardens. Pam Murphy, Area General Manager for Langley attests to the benefits she sees: “I’m always hearing from the residents how much better they get around. They feel more stable on their feet and maintain a good fitness level, and by strengthening their core, my residents have the ability to do more.” Seeing their residents active and happy reminds everyone at Bria why they get so much satisfaction in their positions. The residents literally inspire all the

staff to get more involved. Whether through walking, ﬁtness class, gardening, games or social recreation, at all four Bria communities, living vibrantly and fully is part of the culture. There is a lively engaging feel around the residences which begins with the upbeat tenants and even emanates from the buildings themselves. All Bria communites have renovated their suites and common areas

over the past few years with the expertise of award-winning Hager Designs. With Bria’s outside-the-box approach to active living and the energetic residents who live there, life really does seem a step above.

White Rock’s Alison MacLean to return to Afghanistan in September

Filmmaker documents return of hope Sarah Massah

Staff Reporter

White Rock documentarian is preparing to return to Afghanistan with her camera and a humanitarianaid shipment. Alison MacLean will travel to Mazar-iSharif next month to film the ending to her documentary, Burkas 2 Bullets, and to deliver an aid shipment from the Denton Program – which allows private citizens and organizations to use space available on U.S. military cargo planes to transport humanitarian goods to countries in need – as well as donations gathered locally. The decision to travel to the tumultuous Middle Eastern country came as a surprise to all who knew MacLean – even herself. “I was not planning to go back. I had an interview in March and was asked and I said, ‘No, I’m definitely not going back,’” she laughed. “But the aid drop won’t occur unless I am managing it through the checkpoint. “If that entire community can benefit from it, I have to do it.” Mazar-i-Sharif is Afghanistan’s fourth largest city and is home to a women’s police force, which MacLean helped outfit with uniforms last year. With help from friends and contacts at home and in Afghanistan, MacLean was able to securely send over funds that were used to purchase custom black hijabs, long tunics, pants, boots and gloves for 80 women on the force. “We’re trying so hard to bring change, but the Taliban are true to form and they

are working to quash our efforts,” she said, noting the terrorist group had issued a fatwa – a legal decree handed down by an Islamic religious leader – against the women. “They said they would execute one policewoman a month. But guess what, what’s amazing is that more and more women are signing up for security forces. Instead of being scared away, (the Taliban) is causing women to become more firm in their resolve. “These women know the need to make

‘More and more people are focused on becoming a part of it,’ says founder

Artist Day Festival continues to grow Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

he International Artist Day Festival is gearing up for a return to White Rock’s Community Centre Oct. 24-26 – and the man who started it all, White Rock landscape painter Chris MacClure, said he couldn’t be more pleased that the concept is being embraced in his hometown after a fullscale launch last year. “I see it happening this year – more and more people are focused on becoming part of it,” said the IAD founder and chair. Ten years ago, MacClure was dividing his time between the city and Chris MacClure running an art gallery founder in Mexico with his wife, Marilyn Hurst, when the idea hit him to start an international artist day to celebrate the importance of art as an integral part of everyday life. He selected Oct. 25 because it is the birthday of Picasso – one of the most recognizable and iconic figures in the art world. But MacClure couldn’t have predicted that his arbitrary, unilateral declaration of the day would be taken up and championed as a cultural necessity in countries around the globe. During a recent conversation, MacClure pointed to a print-out of a story of the launching of International Artist Day in Dar es Salaam last year by Tanzania’s minister for information, youth, culture and sports. The report stated the celebration is viewed as a catalyst for Tanzania’s emerging awareness of tradition and art as a economic and cultural cornerstone. “The whole country of Tanzania is

Artist Alan Wylie paints during the International Artist Day Festival gala last year. celebrating it,” MacClure said. “It’s really starting to spread – and it started here in White Rock. It’s something the city can be proud of.” The importance of the arts to business is central to the theme of a new feature of the event – TED Talk-like speeches by local entrepreneurs Vikram Vij (restaurateur and co-owner of My Shanti and Dragon’s Den television personality) and Anita Huberman, CEO of the Surrey Board of Trade on Oct. 25. Returning will be last year’s successful “fireside chats” on the Saturday and Sunday

of the event by participants in the Masters Salon, sponsored by Peace Arch News – invited painters whose mastery of their craft has been widely recognized nationally and internationally. This year’s Masters Salon painters – whose works will be available for purchase by collectors – include, in addition to MacClure, Terry Isaac, David Patterson, Jef Morlan, Keith Hiscock, David Goatley, Jonn Einerssen, Brent Heighton, Vance Theoret, Pat Turner, Janice Robertson, Alan Wylie, Xiwen Chen, Don Li-leger, Reg Parsons, Bob McMurray and Mark Pytlos.

Another very successful element of the show, the exhibit of 12-inch by 12-inch canvases displayed anonymously – and available for the bargain price of $150 each – will also return. This juried selection of paintings will include works submitted by local artists and also by painters from across Canada. Organizers know from the feverish reaction at last year’s opening that the anonymity and price only boosts the excitement and mystery of the ‘small canvas’ show. A week-long show of photography at White Rock Community Centre will also be tied in to the IAD Festival, MacClure said. Launching the event will be the Friday night opening gala on Oct. 24 (7-10 p.m.), for which only 200 tickets will be available. Ticket price is $150 each or $200 per couple – but MacClure pointed out the definition of couple is very non-specific. “They don’t have to be married or partners or anything – it could be two people who are just buddies,” he laughed. The bonus is that each ticket includes a $100 rebate which can be put toward the purchase of any piece of art at the event – encouraging people to support the underlying theme of the IAD Festival, to “be individual and buy original.” “If the community of White Rock wants this great art event, it needs to support it,” he said. “We could make this the cultural event of the year in the city.” Adding to the gala’s appeal (proceeds go to the Master Artists in Local Schools program) will be gourmet canapés catered by Jan’s On The Beach, a wine bar featuring premium wines by Township 7, and music by Kwantlen College students. Gala tickets are available from Semiahmoo Arts at 604-536-8333. For more information visit www. iadfestival.com

Peninsula’s Elizabeth Hollick works on the mural.

New mural to be unveiled The new mural by well-known Peninsula artist Elizabeth Hollick – on the side of Coast Capital Playhouse – will be formally unveiled at a public ribboncutting ceremony with White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin at 11 a.m.,Tuesday, Aug. 26. The Wonderful Year We Fell In Love, celebrating the annual pantomime, notable local theatre personalities and other

moments in the history of the White Rock Players Club, was funded with a $13,500 grant from the city, as well as money raised from the community at large. The 50- by 30-foot mural – on the south wall of the theatre – has been painted over the last two months, but has been in the works since a call for proposals from artists was first issued three years ago. – Alex Browne

Head coach reflects on season after team’s PBL post-season drought ends

Playoff spot a turning point for Tritons Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

he White Rock Tritons’ season may have ended a little earlier than the team had hoped, but head coach Russ Smithson wasn’t letting that damper what was otherwise “a good season overall.” The U18 BC Premier Baseball League team bowed out of playoffs in the first round – losing a best-of-three series to the Victoria Mariners in late July – but Smithson was choosing to focus on the positive. “It feels good to be able to say we’re a playoff team,” he said. The playoff berth was the team’s first visit to the postseason since 2009, bringing an end to a string of futility Russ Smithson and upheaval that – at one Tritons coach point, a few seasons ago – saw the team forfeiting games due to lack of available players, which led to then-coach Brent Swanson feuding publicly with league officials. But Smithson is confident this season – which saw the Tritons finish seventh in the regular season with a 24-24 win-loss record – has been a turning point for the organization. He was especially happy for the team’s older players, who’ve soldiered through the last few losing seasons. “I give credit to all those guys,” said Smithson, who has coached the team since 2011. “Through all this, they never once complained about missing the playoffs or losing. They just put their heads down and went to work. “And for them – and the younger guys, too – to finally get a taste of the playoffs is pretty great. It’s quite an

White Rock Tritons’ baserunner Juan Paez slides into second base during a game against Nanaimo earlier this season. For the first time since 2009, the Tritons qualified for the BC PBL playoffs, which head coach Russ Smithson said was “quite an accomplishment.” accomplishment for them.” For much of the season, the Tritons seemed to have a topeight playoff spot secure, routinely bouncing between fourth and sixth in the standings of the 13-team league. But things did get a little dicey late in the year, as the team became one of the streakiest in the PBL. “We’d win five, then lose five, then win a few more. It was a really wild finish,” Smithson said. With the PBL season now wrapped up – last weekend, the Langley Blaze won the league title with a win over the North Shore Twins – Smithson was also able

to reflect on a handful of other highlights from the season, not the least of which was the hitting prowess of veteran catcher Dylan Yeager, who led the PBL with six home runs after hitting just one long ball in 2013. “It was pretty cool, watching him hit this year,” Smithson said of his catcher who will play for Marshalltown College in Iowa next season. “By the middle of the season, he had other teams so afraid to pitch to him. We’re going to miss him next year.” Next year’s team will also be without graduating slugger James Pavelick, leaving first baseman

Tom Melenchuk – who hit three home runs last season – as the team’s lone returnee to the middle of the batting order. “He’ll have some big shoes to fill,” Smithson said. Also returning next season will be outfielder Aaron Wiegert, whom Smithson praised as the “unsung hero” of this year’s squad. “He played nearly every single game for us in centre-field, played great defence, and was one hit away from hitting .300, and in this league, that’s not always easy to do,” the coach continued. “He’s going to be one of our key guys coming back next year.”

Next year’s team will also be reinforced, no doubt, by a handful of players from the current U16 Junior Tritons, who are one of eight playoff teams vying for a BC Junior Baseball League title this weekend at Victoria’s Lambrick Park. The junior championship runs Aug. 8-10. “We’re having some success with the junior team, so next year, even though we’re losing some players (off the U18 roster), we should be OK,” Smithson said.

Forest fire conditions in this province are at an all-time high and the wood is very dry. The men and women that fight these fires every year rely on their vehicles to take them to the battlefield. Remote back roads and sometimes the forest floor are the roads on which they must travel.

There is a variety of vehicles in the firefighter fleet, but lately they have been using the Ford Super-Duty as the prime support vehicle. The new 2015 version is powerful enough to haul heavy trailers and large enough to double as a mobile office. The 6.7L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel V8, with higher power ratings for 2015, coupled with a 6R140 heavy duty Torqshift six-speed automatic transmission, delivers improved torque, horsepower and fuel economy. The engine pumps out a whopping 860 ft. lb of torque at 1,600 rpm and 440 horsepower at 2,800 rpm. It has lots of get up and go. Ease your way into the throttle and, before you know it, you are at highway speeds. Power and acceleration are smooth and effortless. When properly equipped, the Super Duty has a maximum tow rating of 14,152 kg (31,200 lbs) and a total payload of up to 3,293 kg (7,260 lbs) The interior is very functional. The available LCD productivity screen keeps you up to date with vital information, including fuel economy numbers, towing, off-road information and voice command navigation. A rapid-heat supplemental cab heater is available for those cold days that you need interior heat quickly. When you leave your mobile office, it is nice to know you have options with storing your valuables. Under-seat locking storage compartments beneath the first and second row seats provide space for laptops and other

Wildwood Lakefront Cottages are located on Washington’s Lake Whatcom, just 55 kilometres from the Blaine border. Right on the pristine shores of the lake, families will find plenty of activities, or just the perfect place to relax and enjoy spending time together.

Canadians are discovering Wildwood Lakefront Cottages By Kerry Vital

Washington’s Lake Whatcom is a largely undiscovered gem for Canadians, yet it is only 55 kilometres south of the Blaine border! Lake Whatcom is over 16 kilometres long and a pristine watershed. It serves as the drinking water for nearby Bellingham so it has stringent rules in place to protect it, and that makes swimming and all lake recreation even better. At the south end of the lake on a quiet cove, a family campground called Wildwood has been a popular designation for Canadians since the 1950s. It has recently been redeveloped into a private cottage community and now you can purchase your own family getaway at Wildwood Lakefront Cottages, right on the picturesque shores at South Bay. The natural setting is one of the highlights of Wildwood, with its two streams, huge cedar trees and pristine lake and shoreline. The Canadian developers have added in a tennis/ball hockey court, a swimming pool and hot tub, playground, walking trails, clubhouse, marina, and covered picnic pavilion to complement the lake activities.

“It’s a real family experience,” says Wayne Lyle, the developer’s Canadian spokesperson. “Canadians are buying here for the legacy, for the memories.” One of the big draws for Canadians is that the property is gated and private, has a resident on-site manager, and your landscaping is all looked after. Whether you want to go fishing, take out the canoe or go for an evening swim, you’ll find a ton of outdoor activities available onsite. The private marina has 34 private boat slips and 15 mooring buoys, and a number of guest slips. The cottages themselves are made for cozy family times, with five different floor plans to choose from and three natural colour schemes. The main floor features the living areas, sunny window seats, decked-out kitchens and one bedroom or one-bedroom plus den configurations with sleeping lofts above. “Kids love the sleeping lofts; the ceilings are five feet in height,” Lyle says. “They think it’s built just for them!” While not large in size, these are upscale cottages with hardwood flooring, quartz

countertops, stainless-steel appliances and stone fireplaces. Some of the cottages have rooftop decks that are perfect for star-gazing. Each cottage includes a covered outdoor deck to give you that indoor-outdoor life that everyone loves in the summer, some with an outdoor fireplace. You’ll also find an outdoor wood burning fire pit with every cottage, perfect for lazy fall nights full of stories and s’mores. Wildwood is also fortunate in that it has over 1,700 feet of waterfront; that means the furthest you can get from the lakefront from any cottage is

only 150 yards! “This a great base camp for families,” Lyle says. “With many other Pacific Northwest attractions nearby and with the price of real estate in B.C., this lakefront property is certainly a very attractive alternative!” Lots at Wildwood start at $160,000, and fully finished cottages including lots start at $330,000. For more information, visit www.wildwoodlakefrontcottages.com or call the Canadian office contact number at 1-855-588-7788. The site is open for tours on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., or any time by appointment except Sundays. Call today for an appointment!

OCT 24, 1921 – JULY 29, 2014 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and dear friend. Elton was predeceased by his wife of 62 years, Mary, his son Dana, his sisters Rose and Hazel and his brother John. Elton is survived by brothers Allen and Ken, his children Rita (Don) Dave (Lynne) Phil (Pat) Jim (Darlene) Brenda (Robert) Gregg and Lisa. He also leaves behind 15 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. Elton was born on the homestead in Pibroch, Alberta and attended Sunniebend and Sunnybank schools. Elton worked on the family farm until 1942 when he decided to join the Royal Canadian Navy. In 1944 Elton married Mary Eleanor Plain and in 1946 he left the Navy to begin his life as a farmer and family man on 2-quarter sections in Sunniebend. In 1960, Elton and Mary moved their family to White Rock B.C, where he purchased his farm on 5 acres. He raised livestock and had a large vegetable garden, which continued to be his passion even after he sold the farm and moved to South Surrey. He had a large greenhouse in the backyard and was often found there tending to his “crop” Elton also worked at Peace Arch Hospital as a Maintenance Engineer for 27 years. He would bring in his beloved produce weekly to sell and was quickly and fondly nicknamed the “Veggie Man” by the staff of PADH. Elton will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the honor and pleasure of knowing him for his dedication to family and as an inspiration to those who knew him. A celebration of Elton’s life will be held at 1PM on Saturday the 6th of September 2014, at Sunnyside United Church, 15639-24th Avenue. Surrey, B.C. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to the B.C Kidney or Canadian Cancer Foundations. Online condolences to the family may be made at www.wiebeandjeskefh.com
