Your love never failed Dario: pastor Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Memories of a life cut short at 15 years of age flashed across a screen at Peace Portal Alliance Church Saturday, where hundreds of people, many of them teenagers themselves, gathered to pay tribute to Dario Bartoli. As the sanctuary filled with song – including live renditions of Judy Garland’s Somewhere Over the Rainbow, The Band Perry’s If I Die Young and Eric Clapton’s Tears in Heaven – the screen filled over and over again with moments captured at birthday celebrations, Christmas and on vacation; as Bartoli practised Dario Bartoli skateboarding remembered or rode his BMX with friends, played in the pool and posed in Halloween costumes… The love- and laughter-filled images were a stark contrast to the violent manner in which Bartoli died. He succumbed in Peace Arch Hospital on Dec. 13, just hours after he was attacked in or near Bakerview Park in South Surrey. Two days later, police said early indications supported the theory that it was an “alcohol-fuelled altercation between two groups that turned tragic.” i see page 4

Citywide rules take effect after 4-3 council vote

Tree-cutting rules branch out in White Rock Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

White Rock tree-preservation proponents can breathe easier, after city leaders voted last week to approve bylaw amendments that would require all residents to apply for a permit before taking down a tree. However, not all councillors were in favour of the amendments, which put a moratorium on tree removal in the city until a 20-year

Urban Forest Management Plan for future tree removal on private and public lands receives public consultation in the new year. Coun. Megan Knight, who voted against the amendments Thursday evening at a special council meeting, said that her concerns focused on the timeline of the amendments. She noted that the turnaround was quick and that residents should have more “time and transparency” before the amendments

went through. By a 4-3 vote, council voted to amend its tree-management bylaw, 1831, to include “protected trees within the municipal boundaries of the City of White Rock” in place of “designated areas” as per a map. According to the bylaw, protected trees include those that have a trunk diameter at breast height (DBH) greater than 30 centimetres, or has a combined DBH of its three

largest trunks greater than 30 centimetres. According to Coun. Helen Fathers, prior to the amendments, neighbours could have different rules for removing trees. “You and I could live on the same street and you could live on the east side and I would live on the west side of the street, and you would have to apply for a permit and I can just do what I like,” she explained. i see page 4

Social-media comments led owners to find damaged machine in Newton parking lot

Car wash’s coin-machine theft adds up Tracy Holmes Staff Reporters

Owners of a South Surrey car-wash operation are crediting social media with helping locate a coin-box machine that was stolen earlier this month. Ryan Oliver said the equipment, which controls the Splashes Wash Lodge car wash, was pried off of its concrete base and hauled away early Dec. 2. Surveillance video of the theft shows two culprits pull up to the business at 3050 King George Blvd., use a crow bar on the machine and flee with it in a dark-coloured, two-door Honda Civic. Oliver estimates the thieves got about $1,000 in coins for their efforts. The machine had cost him and co-owner Greg Horton

about $20,000. Oliver said last week that he posted information on the crime and a reward to Facebook a week later, on Dec. 9, and that evening – more than 25,000 views later – he received unexpected news. “I got a person that said, ‘I think I might know where it is,’” he said. “Some complete stranger managed to see it in the corner of a (Newton) parking lot.” Oliver said he got the idea to post the details after remembering a story he heard a couple years ago, of an individual being reunited with a lost camera through social media. “I thought, you know what, let’s give this a try,” he said.

Coin machine retrieved but beyond repair. The success was a relief because, while the money was gone and the machine destroyed beyond repair, there’s a good chance “tons

and tons” of data regarding pre-sell wash cards that was stored on its memory chip can be recovered. “We desperately wanted it back, so we could honour our customers,” Oliver said. Thankfully, the theft did not force any closure of the business. Oliver and Horton were able to bring in a wireless terminal to take payments, and the system is being operated manually until a new machine – which will be “completely encased in concrete” – arrives, likely in the new year. Oliver said he remains in awe of the power of social media. “The day I posted the story, it went out to 26,944 people, according to Facebook, which is unreal,” he said.

$80,000 sculpture to be officially unveiled Jan. 24

Waterfront ‘Passenger’ ends journey Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

It’s safe to say White Rock’s newest resident is garnering a lot of attention. Leaning casually against a bench in front of the White Rock Museum, he has added a dignified, yet casual, presence to the waterfront since last week. Tall, in cuffed pants, he has a suitcase at his feet and a moustache some might say reminds them of actor Tom Selleck (or, perhaps, city manager Dan Bottrill, closer to home). His gaze is focused slightly to the west, yet he manages to look passersby in the eye – and they like it. “Look at his eyes,” an enamoured Pauline Munro says, pausing Friday morning on her westward stroll of the promenade to gaze into the tall, glistening figure’s baby not-blues. While it’s unclear if the gentleman’s thoughts are dwelling on the future, it is abundantly apparent that he is about history. A bronze sculpture dubbed ‘Passenger,’ he was

designed by Nelson-based artist Denis Kleine. Kleine was chosen in June to bring him to “life” to celebrate the history and people of the White Rock train station. Council approved in May the spending of up to $80,000 from the city’s community public art capital project Tom Selleck budget to have the piece made and installed – money that city officials confirmed this week was spent in full. In requesting the funds, leisure services director Eric Stepura predicted such a sculpture would not only be a figurative representation of the history of the White Rock train station, but also “add to the artistic landscape of the city” and be a tourism draw. If the response during the figure’s installation this week is any indication, the interest will

exceed expectations. Leon Gray, who works for the City of White Rock, said he had to time the final touches – such as painting the galvanized bolts that secure the bench to the concrete plaza black – for when there would be fewer waterfront visitors out and about, so as Dan Bottrill not to contend with a crowd. “Everybody loves it,” he told Peace Arch News. “It’s a good thing.” Munro and friends Ruth Christiansen, Barb Tole and Sheila Sanderson agreed. “We’re quite pleased,” Munro said of the new arrival. “We just want to know his name.” “It’s going to enhance our walk down here,” said Christiansen. City spokesperson Shannon Levesque said an official unveiling of the sculpture, with Kleine in attendance, is set for Jan. 24 at 2 p.m.

A pair of drivers from Edmonton were lucky they and others were unhurt Sunday when the luxury sports car they were travelling in lost control on Highway 99 in South Surrey. Police were called just after 11:30 a.m. Dec. 21, after a northbound 2007 Lamborghini Murcielago spun off of the road just past the 152 Street overpass and caught fire. “We found at the scene, the 27-year-old driver, male, with 19-year-old female passenger, both from Edmonton, Alta., standing outside the vehicle, uninjured,” Cpl. Bert Paquet said Monday. “It could’ve been a lot worse, for sure.” According to witnesses, one of whom caught the incident on a dash-mounted camera (see YouTube video at www.peacearchnews.com), the Lamborghini was travelling at a high speed, with a Dodge Viper close behind. The Lamborghini lost control while attempting to pass other vehicles. It came to rest against a tree, and Surrey firefighters were called to put out the flames. Paquet said that while police do not believe the two vehicles were racing, “the Dodge Viper following the Lamborghini was definitely displaying the same kind of driving behaviour.” He did not know if the Lamborghini driver was the registered owner of the vehicle. Regardless, the 27-year-old received “an early Christmas present by the attending officer,” in the form of charges under the Motor Vehicle Act – speeding, driving without due care and attention and unsafe lane change – and associated fines totalling around $700. The car itself likely cost much more. Online, the price for the same-year model runs around $200,000, depending on mileage. Paquet said the Viper driver did not wait around for police.

‘This wasn’t supposed to happen’ i from page 1 The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has conduct of the file, but have yet to announce any arrests or charges in connection with the death of the Earl Marriott Secondary student. Just before Peace Arch News’ early holiday press time Tuesday, Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pound said only that tips “continue to come in.” At Saturday’s service, youth pastor Geoff Stewart didn’t speculate on the incident, but summarized what, no doubt, everyone in the church was feeling: “This isn’t supposed to happen. We shouldn’t be here,” he said. “Dario should be here. It just doesn’t add up. I’m heartbroken for every single one of you.” Stewart also endeavoured to comfort anyone who may be somehow blaming themselves for their friend’s death; perhaps believing that if only they had done one thing different that day, he may still be alive. “You need to know today, your love never failed Dario. Your friendships never failed him,” Stewart said. “Your love and support for his family this week has been nothing short of inspiring. “What will his legacy be? You will be his legacy.” Dozens of Bartoli’s friends regrouped a few hours after the service at the South Surrey Skate Park – some clearly distraught in

Trees i from page 1 “Now, that violates the principles of equity. We have to make it fair across the board.” The amendments are the first step in proposed changes to tree management in the city, which is set to take centre stage in 2015. The permit moratorium is intended to prevent a mass cutting of trees before the public consultation can be implemented. “We’ve had significant tree loss throughout the year – for the last two years, at least – one would only have to stand and look at the hillside to see what’s going on. We are at a very important crossroads,” Fathers said. Coun. Grant Meyer, who with Coun. Lynne Sinclair also voted against the amendments, echoed Knight’s concerns. “(I’m) not, per se, against the bylaw,” Meyer said. “I’m open to reviewing it and getting public consultation. I wasn’t in favour of having it go through so quickly without putting it out there to the public and getting their opinion first.”

A roadside tribute in South Surrey grows larger this week. light of media coverage of Bartoli’s death. There, they – and some of their parents and members of the teen’s family – set off Roman candles and sent glowing sky lanterns toward the heavens, where a star now shares his name. Certificates handed out at the church service note the step was taken on the day Bartoli died, “in loving memory of a guy who could never fail to put a smile on everyone and anyone’s face.” “White Rock won’t be the same without him,” the certificate reads. The sentiment was repeated by a friend who stepped forward to speak on behalf of all of Bartoli’s

friends, and in a letter written by his mom, June. Read out by Stewart, she describes Bartoli as “my prince,” and “the most compassionate boy with the brightest smile.” “He’s now the brightest star in the sky,” she writes. The mother notes that her son was laid to rest “in a bed of roses” – a reference to The Band Perry song performed earlier that was one of his favourites – on petals plucked from flowers received in the wake of his death. As well, she is building a foundation in his memory. “You were a gift to my life,” she writes. “I love you forever.”

Surrey trustee expenses up Sheila Reynolds Black press

Surrey’s seven-member board of education claimed more than $27,700 in expenses during the 2013-14 school year. The expenses, which are about $700 higher than last year, are included in the district’s recently released Statement of Financial Information (SOFI), which are posted online at surreyschools.ca Topping the spending by the elected officials was White Rock trustee Laurae McNally, who submitted expenses totalling $6,769, $900 more than the year prior.

The next-highest spender was board chair Shawn Wilson, who had a tab of just over $5,000, $1,200 less than he spent last year. Trustee Terry Allen had a bill of $4,331, while former trustees Charlene Dobie and Reni Masi and vice-chairperson Laurie Larsen’s expenses all hovered around $3,000. Former trustee Pam Glass, who was unwell for much of the year, had the lowest expenses at $1,477. Car and fuel costs, conferences and registration fees generally account for the bulk of expenses,

which are in addition to the board members’ wages. Remuneration for the seven trustees totalled $215,900, with each receiving $30,200 annually. The chair and vice-chair get an additional $3,000 and $1,500, respectively. The salaries of principals, teachers, management and support staff cost the Surrey School District about $431 million between June 2013 and June 2014. That amount is down by about $17 million from the year prior. A further $1.4 million in expenses was claimed.

editorial

Road safety a two-way street

t’s a familiar refrain this time of year. No, not “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays” – or as the case is now, “Happy New Year.” Rather, it’s a plea to motorists and pedestrians to take special care while they’re on the streets. Within the last week, there have been two serious pedestrian incidents here on the Semiahmoo Peninsula – last Friday morning in White Rock, a senior was struck on Buena Vista Avenue, and Saturday, a 53-year-old man was killed after being struck by an SUV on Pacific Highway. In the latter case, RCMP noted that it was dark and raining at the time. Those two cases join a stark and growing statistic: Every December in B.C., an average of seven pedestrians are killed and another 269 are injured. The often dark, rainy weather, slippery streets and poor visibility all conspire to make driving more difficult. There’s nothing we can do about the weather, of course. But what we can do is make an extra effort to see and be seen. ICBC has a few suggestions. They make them every year but they are worth repeating. For motorists: remain attentive at all times. Not only is it illegal to use a hand-held device while driving, but the consequences can be deadly. Pay particular attention around intersections, where 75 per cent of all pedestrian incidents occur. Watch while turning left or right for pedestrians who have already begun to cross. And remember that the rain – snow and ice, too – makes the roads slicker, so build in a bit more braking time. For pedestrians: never assume that just because you see a vehicle, its driver sees you. Headlights, traffic and other distractions affect visibility. Do your part by ensuring you are dressed to be seen; wear reflective clothing, a reflective arm band or carry a light. Keep your eyes and ears open, and focus on what’s happening around you – that means pulling out your headphones or putting the phone away while crossing a busy street. But whatever you do, and whatever steps you take to stay safe – either as a driver or pedestrian – the most important point is to always err on the side of caution. The holidays are a hectic time of year, and even though Christmas itself is over, the stretch between Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve is just as busy. We all have places to be and things to think about. But it should be a happy time. Don’t let a preventable accident spoil that.

a few friends. Word travelled fast, and I spent the rest of the day answering text after text, email after email, call after call. I don’t remember what I said to anyone. In the days since, I’ve thought about him constantly. I’ve wondered if a service is planned, or if someone is writing his obituary. I worry greatly that he will one day be forgotten – years from now remembered by former classmates and acquaintances only as that guy who died too young. I worry he will become like others I’ve known who have passed away too soon, but whose names had been pushed from my memory until recently. Life goes on. People forget. It happens. I worry, too, that one day I will forget. Sure, I knew him better than most, but what about a decade from now? Or two? Or five? Will I remember his goofy, elastic smile? Will I remember the distinctive laugh that you could always hear, no matter how loud the room or how crowded the party? Will I remember that spring break in 1998 when we grew to hate the Collective Soul CD that we played on a loop because it got stuck in my car’s CD player? I like to think I will, but it’s hard to say for sure. It’s so easy to forget, so easy to lose people – even your best friends – if you don’t make the effort. It’s part of the reason I wanted to write this column. I don’t want to lose touch with him again, not for a third time. I’d rather remember. I’d rather take him with me.

Blame misplaced Editor: Re: Teen killed in altercation, Dec. 16. Alcohol doesn’t kill boys, arrogant savages do. We are being told that the brutal murder of a 15-year-old was likely from a “liquor-fuelled altercation.” Incredibly, a scapegoat has been positively identified, even while the perpetrators remain at large. Is there ever an age or a context that requires accountability? Too young, too old, too drunk. Bad parents, bad friends, bad day. Alcohol doesn’t push blood-sportseeking rats into a car. It doesn’t arm them with crowbars, or force them to overrun neighbourhoods. It doesn’t keep them from stepping forward after the crime. Those are conscious, well-informed decisions. Our system already protects smug young animals from the threat of justice. But for God’s sake, let’s not start making excuses for them. Erik Seiz, Surrey Q Re: Surrey’s felt unsafe too long; Curfews need reconsideration, Dec. 18 letters. How fast we all blame others when something goes wrong. Our community lost two beautiful children in a matter of days, leaving most to say “why.” We can blame a lack of policing, blame the mayor, and say we should have curfews for kids. Do any of these things really have anything to do with what happened? No. Nobody can predict when these things will happen or who will do it. If we did, we could end these things from ever happening. What a wonderful world we would live in, if we never had to see such sorrow. Kids will always be kids. They will always test the boundaries. However, it’s our job as parents to guide them in the right direction and try our best do what is right. For now, I shed a tear for the families of Teagan and Dario. Their lives will never be the same, they will always miss them. I. Hill, White Rock

Veteran facts belie claims Editor: Re: A moral obligation, Dec. 16 letters. Letter-writer Hardy Staub is very critical of the federal government’s designation of benefits for our veterans. He says the Harper government’s treatment of veterans is now approaching being meanspirited and vindictive. This is implying the federal government is becoming spiteful and disposed to revenge against our veterans. I respect Staub’s opinions, but his letter lacks credibility for two reasons: 1. He is a disgruntled and defeated former federal Liberal candidate in this area and still appears to have

an axe to grind against the Harper government. 2. To suggest the federal government is in defiance of veterans is an inaccurate and irresponsible statement. Our veterans are held in high esteem by both the Canadian government and the citizens of Canada. With respect to disability benefits, I as a veteran and other veterans I know have received complete government support and full benefits to which we are entitled. If a veteran is not satisfied with the entitlements received, he or she can appeal the decision, and free legal council will be provided at the hearing. With respect to funding and support for veterans, the present government has increased funding by over $4 billion since taking office in 2006 and have substantially increased the number of new service Canada locations where veterans can receive service and support. This information was

obtained from an article in the Peace Arch News, “Conflict over Veterans affairs,” dated Feb. 13. These facts are in conflict with Staub’s assessment of the Harper government’s treatment of veterans as approaching being mean-spirited and vindictive. Bill Parrott, Surrey

Loss followed by appreciation Editor: It is hard to believe a year will have passed on Dec. 29 since my sister, Julie Paskall, the “hockey mom,” was killed in Newton. To everyone who assisted in the apprehension of the suspect; the supporters who rallied with the family; the City of Surrey; the hockey community; and those at the RCMP and Integrated Homicide

Investigation Team who provided the commitment to the family, I would like to thank you. I would also encourage the many people who have got behind the take-back-Newton program to help reduce crime in Surrey throughout the year. We must continue that effort, not only on the streets but in our homes, to ensure that our lives are not challenged with the same things again. As far as the support from the media goes, thank you as well. Your diligence in keeping the event in profile while the suspect was found was appreciated. This has been a year of firsts: birthday, Easter, Mother’s Day, anniversary, Thanksgiving Day and now Christmas. It has been a difficult year for the family. As we get closer to the new year, we wish everyone the very best and hope our futures together will be bright and full of joy. Martin Ross, Surrey

Letter-writer R.U. Kistritz notes a sign on East Beach makes clear the area’s importance to shorebirds.

Popular opinion the easy way out Editor: Re: Rabid reaction expected to dog-ban bid, Dec. 18. A very important fact was missing in the PAN article concerning the province’s request not to allow dogs on West Beach at all. The fact is that the entire foreshore area of White Rock is part of the Boundary Bay Wildlife Management Area. The reason this foreshore area is being protected by the province is because, according to the B.C. ministry website, it is a “critical, internationally significant habitat for year-round, migrating and wintering waterfowl populations, along with important fish and marine mammal habitat.” Most people who walk the promenade or venture out onto the adjacent tide flats must surely notice and enjoy the abundant diversity of waterfowl using this marine habitat. You also can’t help but notice the big sign at the East Beach entrance by Grizzly that describes the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network of which we are a part. Coun. Helen Fathers – a dog owner – came to the realization that council “probably shouldn’t have

allowed dogs in that area.” The current foreshore lease-extension application has now brought this issue awkwardly to the forefront. Comments by council that it would be very difficult to monitor or deal with the issue, or that they won’t enforce the bylaw, indicates that they do not take seriously or really appreciate the matter of restricting dog access to the Boundary Bay Wildlife Management Area. Instead, they took the politically expedient way out by handing the decision-making process over to the residents through public consultation. Since dogs seem to outnumber the human population in White Rock, and considering the influential dog lobby, a public-consultation process would obviously favour the status quo at West Beach. It’s sad to say that by disregarding a provincial mandate, and disrespecting our marine environment, White Rock will have another blemish to its reputation. However, it’s not too late for council to be a good role model and to abide and enforce this amendment to the city’s Animal Control and Licensing Bylaw. R.U. Kistritz, White Rock

PRIME RIB EVERY SUNDAY NIGHT

Two bedroom rents average $1,311 in Metro Vancouver

With Fresh Yorkshire Pudding!

Apartment vacancies drop, rents rise Jeff Nagel Black Press

It’s getting tougher to find an apartment to rent in Metro Vancouver. Rental vacancy rates fell to 1.0 per cent in October from 1.7 per cent a year earlier, according to the fall market survey by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. “Employment and population growth, together with higher post-secondary student enrolment, added to demand for rental housing,” said CMHC senior market analyst Robyn Adamache. “Also the rising cost of home

ownership may have encouraged some people to stay in rental housing rather than buy.” The provincial vacancy rate fell from 2.4 per cent to 1.5 per cent, while the Abbotsford-Mission area vacancy rate edged down 0.1 to 3.1 per cent. Adamache said the Abbotsford rate shows renters there have more options than those closer to Vancouver. The survey found a two-bedroom apartment rented for an average of $1,311 per month in Metro Vancouver in October, up 2.5 per cent from a year earlier. Two-bedroom rentals aver-

aged less than $1,000 in three areas – Surrey, Langley and Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows, which had the lowest average rent at $886. The priciest areas to rent a two-bedroom were West Vancouver at $2,031, UBC at $1,917 and Vancouver’s Downtown/ West End at $1,849. The average two-bedroom rent in the Abbotsford region was $835, up 1.1 per cent. The survey for the first time estimates the proportion of condominium apartments directly owned by foreigners who live outside Canada – 2.3 per cent in Metro Vancouver,

rising to 5.8 per cent in parts of Vancouver. Adamache said that rate includes all foreign-owned condo units, including those that are rented out, and also unrented units that are just held as an investment or holiday home. But it does does not include foreign owners who buy property here through a Canadian holding company. Foreign ownership of real estate in the Vancouver area has been a topic of extensive speculation, with concerns raised that some neighbourhoods have many unoccupied homes.

he chapel at Evergreen Campus of Care was buzzing with excitement earlier this month as residents and volunteers prepared for the inaugural Evergreen Players performance. It didn’t take long for the dancers on stage to get people moving in their seats, as they performed in Hawaiian-style garb, complete with leis. While a great performance is never too hard to find on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, the fourpart play, All You Need is Love, was in a class of its own. That’s because, with an average age of 85, the Evergreen Players Club may be the most senior troupe in the community.

here they are now. They now have an opportunity to shine,” Krahn said. “This has been a beautiful experience for them. The anxiety has set in, they’re scared, they’re wondering ‘can I still do this?’ But they are so excited. “You don’t have this opportunity in a care facility in most places. We’re very fortunate to have this chapel.” Krahn recalled one woman who was so happy to be able to have the opportunity to take the stage in the comfort of her own home with the people she loves. “She said, ‘this has brought me closer to those people and I feel like we’re just a greater family because of it,’” Krahn said. “To have them brought together at this age in their lives, and feel like they have a purpose is very special.” As part of the performance – and a way to get all 400 residents involved – a colourful fabric

banner was created using panels that the residents had made about things they loved. “I was hoping for 30 feet and we have 104 feet of banner,” Mumford said. “I still get goosebumps every time I look at them.” The entire project has been months in the making, Mumford said, but she wouldn’t trade it for anything. The focus for staff and volunteers is person-centred care, and having the residents interacting and active. Both women hope to have another production in the works soon, and aim to encourage the idea that a care home is where seniors can live full and active lives, rather than a place to spend final days. “Just because you’re old, doesn’t mean you’re not valued,” Mumford said. “This play is empowering. It’s just been a labour of love and we take pride in what we do.”

On to semi-finals A White Rock entrepreneur in the running for a Small Business BC Award is now a semi-finalist. White Rock Skimboarding, founded by Alex Dobbie, was announced last Friday as a Top-10 nominee for Best Emerging Entrepreneur. The award, sponsored by Futurpreneur Canada and the Ministry of Social Development, recognizes an individual who contributes to the social, cultural and economic well-being of their communities.

Dobbie created White Rock Skimboarding in February, after having difficulty landing a summer job. The Southridge School alumnus’ business made the top-10 list by garnering the most votes in a two-month period. Now, judges will narrow the competition down to five finalists in each category. Those finalists – to be announced Jan. 30 – will be invited to give a Dragons’ Den-style pitch. Winners will be honoured Feb. 26 in Vancouver.

Grant money to benefit South Surrey youth

A charity event to ring in the “nude” year is once again planned for the south end of Crescent Beach – near what local naturist groups refer to as “Crescent Rock.” The clothing-optional Polar ‘Bare’ Plunge – a joint effort between the Skinnydippers Recreation Club and the Surrey United Naturists – is planned for Jan. 1 at 1 p.m. Participation is free, but organizers ask that those taking part bring cash donations, which will benefit War Amps’ programs. For those wishing to bare a little less of themselves while still ringing in 2015, White Rock’s annual Polar Bear Swim is back for another year, too. The 45th annual event – which this year is co-ordinated by the five local rotary clubs, local businesses and RCMSAR5 Crescent Beach search and rescue, after decades of being organized by the nowdefunct Lions Club – is set for noon, Jan. 1 at White Rock beach, near the city’s iconic rock. – Nick Greenizan

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Sean Hayden’s composing career has taken off in Toronto

Semi grad scoring notable success Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

ou may not have heard him in concert or at a live music venue. But, if you own a TV set, chances are you’ve heard Sean Hayden’s music in your home dozens – maybe even hundreds – of times. Since moving to Toronto a year-and-a-half ago, the former long-time White Rock and South Surrey resident (a 2004 Semiahmoo Secondary grad) has clicked in the business of providing music for television shows and commercials. That’s included work for such major clients as Target, Nissan, Kellogg’s, Toyota, Ford and Mitsubishi – as well as shows like Pawn Stars, Storage Wars and Come Dine With Me. One of Hayden’s most recent commissions was from Red Bull Media, who have to compose and produce 40 songs for their in-house music catalogue. That music will eventually be featured in a wide variety of Red Bull related productions – everything from television commercials to Contributed photo extreme-sports films. Semi Secondary grad Sean Hayden is creating music for television shows and commercials in Toronto. Listening to samples of his work on his websites – www.seanhayden. his parents and a sibling still in approval, he noted. “I received great support at net and www.daisydogmusic.com South Surrey, he’s often back in his “Sometimes they don’t even Semi,” he said, noting he was – it’s not hard to understand why home community). know what you’ve done, but happy to visit with his former Hayden has been so successful.

Toronto in 2013 (he describes it as “one of the four big music cities in North America, the others being L.A., New York and Nashville”), Hayden was fortunate to connect with musicians who helped him land a gig as in-house composer for The Eggplant Collective; a multi award-winning audio production company specializing in music and other audio for media. “It really accelerated things faster,” he said, noting that while he continues to work with the Eggplant Collective he also freelances composing work through his own company, Daisy Dog Music Productions. Hayden said he really has no set methodology for composing, other than to work through those days when nothing seems to come naturally. “The main thing to get out of writers block is just to start, just put something down, even if you end up throwing it away later,” he said. How he composes depends a lot on the gig, he added. “If it’s going in a specific direction, it’s much like a jigsaw puzzle that already exists – you just have to put the pieces together. But if it’s pretty open, as a guitar player, I’ll just sit around and noodle on that.” There are quite a few 12-hour days, but also other days when everything comes “pretty easily,” he admitted. “When I’m relaxing, I like to play guitar and jam out. I used to be a full-time touring musician, playing 180 to 200 shows a year, but these days, since the composing has taken off, I haven’t really had the desire to go out and play.” That may change down the road, he said. “One day I might get back into live music. There’s something about playing with a group of talented musicians. But, right now, there isn’t really time – and I’m enjoying the composing process.”

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Hot Laps in the Subaru WRX STI with retired WRC Driver Tommi Mäkinen.

Visit the gallery at DrivewayCanada.ca

2014 car year in review It’s hard to believe that 2014 is over. Subaru WRX STI: Where did it go? At a time when we tend MSRP $37,995-$44,995 to reflect on what we’ve done, what we The all-new 2015 Subaru WRX STI is can do better and what was awesome, an incredible car within its own right. that brings me to my personal Car Year It has a cult following and has the in Review. street cred to back it up. And just when It takes a special vehicle or experience you think you’re getting the hang of by Alexandra Straub to stick in my memory. Not to say that putting it around the Buttonwillow short-term memory loss is a problem but Raceway in California, you let Tommi with constant streams of information bombarding Mäkinen take you for a spin. Gosh, it’s like he could my brain, it’s not hard to forget where I was and drive ten times faster, smoother and more confidently what I was testing a week ago! in his sleep. Heck, he had one arm on the windowsill Though this is a review of wheels past, because we when he wasn’t shifting or going into a tight corner. often test vehicles well ahead of their full production Moral of the story: the car makes you feel like a hero this also points to what people will be driving in even if you can’t drive like Tommi. And what a cool 2015. experience. Let’s start small because the micro cars might be Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat: miniscule in price, but aren’t about to disappoint. MSRP $63,495 (but the new 2015 Challenger SXT Nissan Micra: MSRP Range, $9,998-$15,748 starts at an MSRP of $28,495) For under $10K, this pint-sized vehicle can be yours. The name says it all. Put “Hell” in something and But just because it’s inexpensive doesn’t mean it’s you’re bound to have a helluva good time, right? cheap. And it’s a blast to drive. Sure, 109 horsepower Especially when you have 707 horsepower at your won’t get you where you need to go in a flash, but disposal. But to say I wasn’t apprehensive to take this that’s not the point of this car. Besides, for basic beast on the track at Portland International Raceway transportation, it has the goods. would be a lie. And the reason is, American muscle cars haven’t always been the pinnacle of exceptional Ford Fiesta 1.0L, $15,999 + $1,500 for the 1.0L option; for an MSRP of $17,499 handling dynamics. Sure, it has a lot of horses, but will it get me through the corner with minimal body roll? Ford’s smallest engine available here in Canada sure Or will the steering have enough feel that I won’t be packs a lot of punch. And considering it only weighs constantly inputting actions? 98 kg when assembled, this 1.0L, 3-cylinder powerIn this case? Hell(cat) yes. I was blown away as to plant is pretty impressive. If you opt for this bitehow well this car drove, not just on the track, but on sized engine, you’ll be getting 123 horsepower and the street, too. Disclaimer: if you need to get anywhere 125 lb-ft of torque (148 lb-ft with the overboost). The quickly, this isn’t the car for you. People will talk your Fiesta was designed and engineered in Europe so it ear off about it if you give them an opportunity. isn’t bad to look at either.

Question of the Week

Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC: MSRP $37,200 (AMG version is $50,500) Another vehicle that shone brightly is Mercedes-Benz’s GLA. The luxury compact crossover starts at under $40K but does so many things well. It has a hatchback, great styling and the fuel economy is quite good, too. I wouldn’t even need the AMG version to keep me happy. It’s just a stellar vehicle. MINI Cooper S: MSRP starts at $25,490 Perhaps the biggest disappointment this year comes in the shape of the MINI Cooper S. I’ve loved these cars for so long, but perhaps electronics have ruined it for me. Yes, it’s much more competent and has some great features, but I miss the days of the supercharged version. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a super fun car to drive, but the downshift rev matching in the Cooper S with the manual transmission was not amazing. It was harsh and jerky. I also feel it lost a little bit of personality along its way to adulthood. I’ll forever love them, quirks and all. Honda Fit: MSRP range $14,495-$21,295 The Fit is on my list because I think it is just such a fabulous little car. The Magic Seats really are magic, but the new touchscreen is a huge deterrent. I strongly dislike it. I like buttons. I don’t mind if there are a few to complement the screen but I feel it takes my eyes off the road for too long, even if I’m familiar with the system.

OF THE WEEK!

Safety Tip: January is one of the worst months for crashes in B.C. with approximately 23,200 on average. In poor conditions, slow down, increase your following distance and give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination.

Kendra Sandhu earns NCAA scholarship

Field of dreams Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

ad a nearby field hockey team not been critically short of players during a practice five years ago, Kendra Sandhu may have never bothered to pick up a field-hockey stick. Instead, she would have focused on soccer – the sport she had played “ever since I could walk.” But when the Surrey-based India Field Hockey Club – which Sandhu explained was close to her Surrey Youth Soccer team – mentioned they were seeking new recruits, the now-17-year-old Semiahmoo Secondary student decided to take a shot at a new sport. “I went out for one practice, and I just fell in love with it right away,” she explained. Unlike many young❝This is sters – who may not be something that so inclined to stick with I’ve wanted something they struggle for so long.❞ with initially – Sandhu said that the challenge Kenda Sandhu of trying something new field hockey appealed to her. “I think what kept me involved in it early was the fact that it was so hard. It is so much different than soccer, and that was intriguing to me – the idea of learning more about something I’m not good at,” she explained. After years of playing soccer, where you use your feet rather than your hands, the toughest part to get used to, she said, was simply holding the stick. “It’s seems simple, but it’s only flat on one side, so you have to know how to hold it, how to turn it to use the inside when you hit the ball – it’s just different.” The feeling of being wanted – regardless of whether or not the club was in dire need of new players – also helped pique her interest that first year, she admits. “The club kept asking me to play, because I was practising and getting a bit better. And when you’re in Grade 7, and people are specifically asking for you, you feel kind of special, like ‘maybe I’m really, really good,’ even if I wasn’t at the time,” she laughed. Sandhu’s dedication and perseverance paid

Semiahmoo Secondary Grade 12 student Kendra Sandhu will play field hockey next season at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. off last month, when she agreed to a field hockey scholarship with Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa. After visiting “five or six” schools on one family trip earlier this year – “We flew into Boston, then drove around, doing a bit of a circuit,” she said – Sandhu chose Lehigh because of its picturesque campus, as well as the warm welcome she received. During her visit, she said, a group of field hockey players approached her out of the blue to welcome her to the school. They showed her the campus and the dorms, and introduced her to the rest of the team. “I figured they were just wondering why I was there, but they came up and said, ‘Hi, we heard you were coming,’” Sandhu, who

plays for India Field Hockey’s premier team, explained. “They were just so nice. That was a key factor for me – that they were so welcoming.” And now, even with her post-secondary future secured, she admits the whole process has been something of a whirlwind. At first, she planned to stay in Canada for university, but only because she didn’t know such opportunities to play in the United States existed. Sandhu credits her dad, Sukhi, for opening her eyes to the possibilities. “He emailed a few schools for me, and sent them some of my game footage and asked if they were interested,” she explained. “I really just owe a lot to my

parents. If it wasn’t for them, none of this would have happened. This is something that I’ve wanted for so long, but it wouldn’t have happened without them pushing me to reach my goals.” Sandhu will head east soon after her Grade 12 year at Semiahmoo is over – Lehigh’s field-hockey preseason schedule begins in July – and leaving home won’t be easy. “It worries my parents a lot, but I think I’m ready for it,” she said. “But I’m a bit nervous, being on the other side of the country where you don’t have your parents and your family with you every single day. “It’s going to be tough, very bittersweet, but I’m looking forward to it.”

Happy Holidays!

Childhood friends to join Cascades’ soccer program

Surrey athletes heading to UFV Kera Skocylas Black Press

Three Grade 12 Surrey high school girls who grew up playing soccer together will continue their careers side-by-side at the University of the Fraser Valley. Harman Billen, Gurneet Dhaliwal and Jasmine Mangat have signed on to play for the UFV’s women’s soccer team starting in the fall of 2015. The girls have played together for nearly a decade on Surrey United youth teams and spent the past year on Surrey United’s under-18 team. Rob Giesbrecht, head coach of the UFV Cascades, said all three teens are talented and have the potential to be great university players. Surrey United technical director Jeff Clarke also predicted the three will have productive university careers. “Their leadership, dedication and commitment to their team has been exemplary,” he said. Billen is a midfielder,

Dhaliwal plays forward and Mangat is a defender. Billen plans on studying business at UFV and hopes to one day open her own business. She said all three of

them are friends outside of soccer. “We know each other really well,” she said. “We know how the others play. It’s a really positive thing for us and for the team.”

CENTENNIAL PARK LEISURE CENTRE AND ARENA 14600 North Bluff Road, White Rock BC

“We have a chemistry with one another,” Mangat added. Billen said everyone is excited to be on the team. “I can’t wait to start playing,” she said. FAMILY SKATE

Tillotson, Brenda 1927 - 2014 Brenda Tillotson, beloved wife of Olin, died peacefully on Saturday, December 6th at the Peace Arch Hospice. Despite failing health in 2012, Brenda began research for a proposal that she presented to CPA in 2014 on establishing Virtual History of Physiotherapy in Canada. Her legacy is now under the PABC banner and is being continued by a committee of her peers who share her dream. Brenda trained in London before coming to Canada in the early fifties; she worked at the WCB, then housed at VGH. On 1959, she moved to G.F.Strong where she worked with patients with spinal cord injuries, poliomyelitis, and with amputees. She later became the Director of the department, eventually becoming a member of the site’s 20-year club. Although she retired in 1987, she maintained ties to her profession. Always an ardent supporter of physiotherapy and in leadership, she advocated for a UBC physiotherapy school, served as the president of the BC Branch of CPA and helped plan CPA Congresses in Vancouver. In the eighties, she was made a life member of CPA. Brenda retired from G.F. Strong in 1987 after a long and satisfying career. She spent her retirement years becoming a very proficient artist in watercolours and acrylics. Also, together with her husband Olin, she enjoyed playing lawn bowls, travelling in Europe and the United States and gardening. They were members of the Musical Box Society International, an interest they shared, spanning many decades. Rest in Peace Brenda, We will miss you.
