Former board chair agrees to repay contribution to his civic slate, and other expenses
Kwantlen claims criticized by minister Jeff Nagel Black Press
The former chair of Kwantlen Polytechnic University has promised to repay the school more than $4,000 in expenses he billed that included pricey bottles of wine and scotch, and a political contribution to Surrey’s ruling municipal party. Gord Schoberg claimed the expenses, which drew sharp criticism from Advanced Education Minister Andrew
Wilkinson after they were revealed through a Freedom of Information request. “I find it unacceptable for the board of a post-secondary institution to incur excessive costs for entertainment, especially when they involve meetings that are only between board members,” Wilkinson said in an emailed statement, adding he directed KPU to request that Schoberg repay the money.
The biggest expense was $3,500 Schoberg contributed to Surrey First in 2011 during a silent-auction fundraiser for then-mayor Dianne Watts’ party. Schoberg was the financial agent for Surrey First at the time, and for last fall’s civic election, he was spokesperson for the White Rock Coalition. Schoberg has also agreed to repay $125 for a 2011 BC Liberal fundraiser for Richmond MLA John Yap, $180 for
two bottles of 18-year-old Glenfiddich scotch from an airport duty-free shop, and about $370 for two dinners with wine in White Rock in the summer of 2013, with the KPU director who was replacing him as Kwantlen board chair. “What I want to do is repay the amount and hopefully that makes the situation right so that it doesn’t negatively reflect on the reputation of Kwantlen or the i see page 2

Andy and Carole Johnston are thankful a neighbour was persistent in her efforts to wake them, after she noticed flames on the side of their house.
Good Samaritan was on way to work when she spotted fire
‘If she hadn’t banged on the door…’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Andy Johnston doesn’t know how the story of his house burning would have ended if a Good Samaritan hadn’t gone out of her way to wake him and his wife, Carole, Monday morning. “She saw it and she kicked on the door, banged on the door till we were up and out of there,” Johnston said hours later, standing outside the couple’s badly burned 0 Avenue home. “You never know, if she hadn’t banged on the door, what the results would’ve been.”
Yvonne Bernardy-Dearden told Peace Arch News she didn’t hesitate to act when she spotted flames coming from the side of the Johnstons’ house as she headed west in the 17000block of 0 Avenue just before 6 a.m. Dialing 911 and knocking on the door at the same time, the WestJet customer-service agent said she became more aggressive as she saw the fire “progressively just turning monstrous.” “It was unreal how fast that fire moved,” she said. “Had I gone (to work) a minute later…” Fire crews arrived to find the Johnstons’ home

fully involved. By the time flames were out, the entire west side was in shambles – its exterior walls and interior ceilings damaged extensively; and parts of the roof collapsed. Inside, two to three inches of water covered the main floor, remnants of the effort to quell the blaze. Exactly what sparked the fire is unclear, however, police say it is not considered suspicious. Chad Johnston said his father called him shortly after his parents made it out of the house. He was “rattled,” he said. i see page 2

Peninsula high school students – including at least some from Earl Marriott Secondary – were the target of wide-spread criticism last week, after word and photos of a mess apparently left by grads at a Harrison Lake campsite over the long weekend hit social media. But students and others were also quick to defend their peers and the school, urging critics not to judge them all on the actions of a few, and pledging to make things right. “I think we can all agree that what happened is both unfortunate and disgusting regardless of who partook,” Jonah Mandin, in Grade 11 at EMS, posted on Facebook Friday. “… I understand that it really doesn’t matter who was there and who wasn’t. We are a community and we all let this happen, the blame game will not solve any problems. Moreover, I would love to help clean-up and do whatever I can to help make things right. “That being said, I feel that this prejudicial assault against our school is completely unnecessary… We represent a lot more than this isolated event, and I’m sure many of us can’t wait to prove it.” i see page 4

thought at the time we should be connecting with – the current mayor and council.” Asked how it didn’t pose a conflict of interest, given his role with Surrey First, Schoberg said the financial agent reports on the party’s finances but doesn’t control them. He said the Yap fundraiser was another example where “we felt it was worthwhile reaching out to a local MLA in the Kwantlen catchment area.” Wilkinson said the claims were “clearly inappropriate and unacceptable” and university boards are required to invest their money in education and research. The minister told the legislature Monday that he has asked other postsecondary institutions to check their board expenses, but so far no inappropriate claims have been found. Kwantlen now has policies prohibiting expenses claims for any political events or for lobbyists.

Alcohol expenses weren’t banned until after he departed as chair, and he noted KPU board members aren’t compensated for their service. Schoberg acknowledged “heightened public awareness” of expenses involving liquor or political donations. The $3,500 spent at the auction fundraiser for Surrey First was for a dinner with Watts. “I’m not sure that the event ever happened; in any case, I didn’t attend if it did,” he said. Asked how that could be justified by KPU, Schoberg said the university had recently rebranded from a community college and was seeking to improve its connections with stakeholders, including politicians. “That was one of the areas we

Privacy commissioner advises White Rock to alert residents after hard-drive theft last March
City warns of ‘possible privacy breach’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
The City of White Rock advised residents Friday morning of a “possible privacy breach” resulting from the theft more than two months earlier of four hard drives from the White Rock Community Centre. Discovered on March 8 – and announced to the public in a May 22 news release – the March 7 theft was investigated by the RCMP and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner, city clerk Tracey Arthur confirmed. While personal information of residents
and staff was on the hard drives, due to the nature of what was stolen, it is not believed to pose a significant risk. Chris Zota, the city’s manager of information technology, described the likelihood of the information being accessed to any usable degree as “very improbable.” The hard drives were taken at random from among a larger network that has data written across all of it, with not one holding complete information on its own, Zota told Peace Arch News Friday afternoon. “To extract useful information off the hard
drives, you need all 10,” he said. “Take a drive out and you plug it into your computer at home, you’re not going to see anything.” Detailed inside information on the drives’ configuration, server names and more would also be required, Zota said. Zota said nothing else was taken in the early morning theft, which occurred through a rear door of the 15154 Russell Ave. community centre. Security measures, including relocating the affected equipment and installing CCTV cameras, have since been taken.
Arthur told PAN that residents would have been notified of the breach sooner had there been a serious concern regarding access to the information. Friday’s news release was done on the recommendation of the privacy commissioner, she noted. The issue was not raised publicly at White Rock’s council meeting Monday. Anyone concerned their information has been accessed or used unlawfully as a result of financial transactions with the city may contact Arthur at 604-541-2212.

NDP select federal candidate The federal NDP has announced a candidate for the South SurreyWhite Rock riding. Environmental lawyer Pixie Hobby – a Crescent Beach resident described as a “passionate environmentalist” – was acclaimed at a meeting of more than 100 party members Friday, at Ocean Park Community Hall. In a news release announcing her nomination, NDP Leader Tom Mulcair said Hobby’s experience and dedication as a defender of the environment would make her an “exceptional voice” for her community. “At a time when Conservatives are continually putting our coastline and waterways at risk, Pixie’s skills and commitment are invaluable,” he said. A 32-year veteran of the Department of Justice, ❝The NDP win Hobby resigned in Alberta has in 2014 to shown that practise enviCanadians ronmental law are ready for independently. During her something time with the new.❞ department, she represented Pixie Hobby Environment Canada for some 20 years, working on development and implementation of Canada’s Environmental Assessment Act. Hobby, who has lived in South Surrey for 16 years with her son, is also an avid gardener and beekeeper. “I’m running in this election because the people I’ve met here mean everything to me,” Hobby said in the release. “They deserve a Member of Parliament who will stand up for middle-income families. The NDP win in Alberta has shown that Canadians are ready for something new. I’ll work hard to make that a reality for the residents in South Surrey-White Rock.” – Alex Browne

Christian LeBlanc was feeding an elephant bananas in Thailand when the pachyderm took an interest in his already-shooting GoPro camera.
White Rock photographer aims for Ellen
World traveller’s ‘elphie’ goes global Kolby Solinsky Black Press
Christian LeBlanc puts a lot of work into his Instagram account, and he figures he’s got a pretty good idea of what’s working. “I’ve always felt that my Instagram was very entertaining and kind of well done, so I’ve been looking at ways to get publicity to my account,” the 22-year-old White Rock native and Earl Marriott Secondary graduate said last week. But even he couldn’t have planned what’s happened with his now-infamous snap, the self-coined ‘elphie’ that’s been seen, shared and smiled at around the world. In April, while visiting Koh Phangan, Thailand with his girlfriend, Laura Reid, also 22, LeBlanc was feeding an elephant bananas and had his GoPro camera on the ‘continuous shooting’ mode. When he ran out of bananas, the mammal started “basically feeling me up,”
he says, “looking for more food.” “It was curious or interested and took my GoPro... Next thing I know I’ve got this selfie that’s taken over the Internet.” Posted to his Instagram account last Wednesday, the ‘elphie’ has picked up thousands of shares and been featured and covered by several of the world’s largest media outlets – BuzzFeed, the Daily Mail, the Mirror UK, CNN, the CBC, Global BC, CTV and, of course, now Peace Arch News. The British media grabbed ahold of it first, he said, before it quickly spread to Canadian and American front pages and broadcasts. Now LeBlanc – who’s currently travelling through the Philippines and is a graduate of UBC’s Commerce program, after finishing his requirements on exchange in Bangkok – is aiming for Ellen. He’s posted to the talk show host’s Facebook
page, has encouraged his friends to ‘like’ the post and share it, and has started the hashtag #ElfieOnEllen to give it some attention. “I’m making a push for it, I think it’s definitely the right content for the channel.” LeBlanc said he’s also now a ‘brand ambassador’ for GoPole, a selfie-stick maker. He’s going to keep travelling with Reid, through Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia and Japan, before heading back home in July, and he says he’s got a job lined up with Ernst & Young in Vancouver. He calls his status as toast of the Internet “just a fun little temporary celebrity status.” “It’s been such a crazy couple days... It’s been a thrill ride, it’s been really, really fun.” And fortunately, the pachyderm didn’t eat his camera. “I got it back with no problems,” he said. “It dropped it from like a foot high.”

i from page 1 Photos posted to Facebook of the post-party campsite showed a scene littered with garbage, smashed bottles and more. The post described “smashed beer bottles, used condoms and empty bags of cocaine {straw included} all over otherwise pristine wilderness.� Comments that followed ranged from “you can’t fix stupid� and “maddening�, to doubts EMS students acted alone. “I see a sign that says (Cloverdale), I highly doubt all of this trash is from EMS,� writes Robert Gabes. “OTHER people do use this place you know? I have gone up in the summer way after the school season and seen ALOT worse.� Thursday, principal Ken Hignell addressed the issue directly to students, calling on those involved to “do the right thing� and volunteer to go back and clean up.

Strachan said the mess “was as much of a frustration and embarrassment for the school as it was for anybody that came across it and the people who saw it.� “We’re as appalled by that as anybody else,� he said.
Hignell states he was alerted to the mess on Thursday, by a member of a local four-wheeldrive association, and agreed there was no excuse for it. “Simply put, the camping teens were irresponsible and rude in leaving a huge mess,� he writes. Similar calls and emails continued throughout the day, he states, describing concerns regarding safety of site users and impact to the environment as “justified and real.� One of the photos posted was of an EMS rugby ball, and captain Liam Sullivan stepped up to apologize on behalf of the team, via a Twitter post. “As captain of the EMS Rugby team, I am saddened that the conduct of a neglectful few has dampened the image of an overall phenomenal graduating class. The photo of the EMS rugby ball, while not in any way a direct reflection on EMS Rugby as a whole, shows a direct involvement in the problem,� Sullivan writes. “I would like to apologize, on behalf of EMS Rugby, and the EMS Class of 2015, for the mess left at Harrison Lake. We do not claim responsibility, nor admit to our partaking in the mess, but as EMS rugby was represented at some point in this disgraceful way, several members of the EMS rugby team will partake this weekend in helping to clean up the mess left behind.�

Can ‘orange wave’ reach Peninsula?
D
oes the recent Alberta election point to a seismic shift in Canadian politics? The local federal NDP would certainly like to think so. The South Surrey-White Rock riding association has just chosen Crescent Beach resident and environmental lawyer Pixie Hobby as as its candidate for October’s federal election. And the party would like to paint this as a part of a gathering momentum after the orange wave that swept the Progressive Conservatives away after more than four decades at the rein. But does provincial disenchantment – as startling as its effects turned out to be – translate to a national endorsement of the NDP? While the federal Conservatives won all but one seat in Alberta in 2011, the provincial shift to the NDP could have implications for the federal election there. In B.C., and particularly in South Surrey-White Rock, long a Conservative stronghold, the implications are far less clear. What hay the local NDP can make – and what challenge they can mount to the Conservatives’ Dianne Watts – will depend on what lessons they can draw from the Alberta tsunami, particularly in exploiting voter dissatisfaction with previous Conservative representation. While there are many reasons for the fall of the PCs and the rise of the NDP in Alberta, the overriding one seems to be that the PCs were taking power for granted after 44 years. And while new PC leader Jim Prentice was capable and experienced, his actions in luring most of the opposition Wildrose Party’s MLAs to his caucus, and bringing in a budget that punished ordinary Albertans, seemed to infuriate voters. The NDP under Rachel Notley seemed the best option for many of them. There may be parallels to be drawn in South Surrey-White Rock, but the NDP must also face another factor in the political landscape. The federal Liberals will also have a challenger for Watts, as soon as the local riding association makes a choice between potential candidates Peter Njenga and Joy Davies, or perhaps someone else we have yet to hear from.

bleak future of low prices and demand. Petronas delayed its investment decision to this year and cited exactly these concerns, certainty on taxation and royalties beyond the election cycle. With that in hand, their obstacles remain federal environmental approval and a revenue sharing deal with a First Nation to host a terminal. Pacific Northwest CEO Michael Culbert notes that answers to questions posed by the Lax Kw’alaams First Nation were submitted to federal regulators only days before they started voting on a $1 billion share of LNG proceeds over 40 years. The vote was a resounding no, despite a redesign that put pipelines on a suspension bridge over the most sensitive salmon habitat. Culbert suggests that given some time to examine environmental mitigation work, that answer may change. Does aboriginal title offer a veto over projects like this? According to the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision on the Tsilhqot’in case, the short answer is no. Objections could be overridden if governments determine a project is in the interest of the greater public. Talks have taken place with 19 First Nations affected by pipelines and facilities, and 14 have agreed. While they continue with Lax Kw’alaams and other Tsimshian Nations on the coast, it’s worth recalling that others are not so reluctant. The Nisga’a Nation has identified four sites as suitable for LNG terminals with a shorter pipeline route to the coast than Prince Rupert.

‘Friendly exchange’
‘Hump’ clearing unacceptable
Editor: Re: Dissimilar cityscapes, May 22 letters. I have to agree with letter-writers Anthony Manning and L. James. How does entering into a “friendly exchange relationship” with a pollution-plagued city of two million in China make a bit of sense to Our City by the Sea? This appears to be an open invitation to offshore developers/ development – what other reason could there be? We do not want to follow Richmond’s example of beautiful neighbourhoods being torn down and replaced with huge, non-occupied homes and with businesses displaying signs that residents can’t read. White Rock has a great sense of community and a small -community feel; please don’t allow this to happen to us. White Rock residents, speak up! L. Byrnes, White Rock Q Re: Cities become partners, May 8. Should your “Agreement with China” not have been the headline, instead of the subhead? This is our White Rock. We are not stupid to think what “a friendly relationship is.” Don’t you think we already know? Come on now! It is an insult to us to think the council that we elected voted without one word to the public, we the citizens. What are you doing with our city? Dolores Diachak, White Rock Q Some five years ago, I had the honour to appear before a City of White Rock committee established to advise White Rock mayor and council on economic development and tourism. I advanced my thoughts on the City By The Sea establishing close ties with a city in Holland, such as Den Helder, Zandvort or Teneuzen, all straddling the North Sea. We could exchange soccer clubs in summer, ice hockey in the winter and give the youngsters of both cities and opportunity to meet. The ranks of our veterans are getting thinner each year; we have to give the youngsters of both nations a chance to meet and carry on the closest friendship I have ever seen between two countries, having been in the Netherlands dozens of times. One of the councillors present at the meeting said the city does not have funds to send council members to Holland. I pointed out that we are not talking about elected officials but the youngsters. Airlines are offering special deals and once in the country, parents provide free room and board. None of the citizens on the committee had any comments; the chairperson, another councillor, thanked me for coming and I was excused. The entire meeting took eight minutes! Wolfgang Schmitz, White Rock
An open letter to the City of White Rock. The natural ecosystem ‘The Hump’, a focal point and unique area of White Rock, has been put at risk by the clearcutting that has taken place (Bluff clearcut catches many off guard, May 13). Environmental arguments against this unacceptable work are numerous. I hope you are open to listening to concerns and suggestions: A bioplan, done by environmentally focused landscape architects, engineers and urban planners, needs to be commissioned. This
plan will address the problems and environmental concerns of this sensitive area, e.g. plants, trees, wildlife, road and slope stability. This bioplan will recommend the retention of all existing trees and the planting of trees, including tall native trees, like firs and cedars, to create biodiversity. An urban forest and green space friendly to people and the ecosystem can be created on, and adjacent to, ‘The Hump’. This area, with its natural setting, and all the existing and newly planted trees, would be preserved and protected in perpetuity. The railway will soon be gone, and this will also be a future consideration in the bioplan. This plan benefits everyone, not just the few who want views/ sightlines, and can also be applied
to all lands, public and private, in White Rock, in order to create a more livable community. Our new official community plan that is to be created soon, after community input, will reflect these desired changes and new direction. I do not believe your present course of action has the consensus or approval of the people. On behalf of the residents of, and visitors to, White Rock, I respectfully request the clearcutting of ‘The Hump’ be stopped now and a new environmentally responsible path be followed, with futuristic, imaginative, sensitive decisions made by officials. This is what we all want and what we will remember and be grateful for in the years to come. Our children’s children will thank you. Cal Pawson, Surrey

quote of note `
‘Friends of Dogwood Park’ have put in many hours over the years, cleaning ‘their’ park with no cost to the city.a Gerda Barwieck
City of Surrey graphic
The City of Surrey’s proposed changes to Dogwood Park elicits reaction from those who currently use the facility.
Dog-park users eager to speak Editor: Re: Off-leash plans to ‘take away from dogs,’ May 15. I’d like to thank Peace Arch News and Surrey Parks, Recreation & Culture department for its openness to feedback from the community. The issue, in my opinion, is not about dog owners versus non dog owners. It is about fast versus slow. The fast: 1.) Cyclists are interested in a fast shortcut through the park; and 2.) Elgin Park Secondary wants a running area for a physical-education exercise option. The slow: 1.) The pace of Dogwood Park is slow; the number of iPods and, ear buds I see? None, and I go to the dog park twice a day all year and am flabbergasted every day by families with kids/teenagers and no earbuds, no phones and no iPods. 2.) In the parking lot, there are on average 15-40 cars – five to 10 in the main area; the rest, all ages, sizes and shapes, are on the trails, going slow. Does fast always have to trump slow? The city will predictably say yes, but it is about safety. And yes, I have seen one close call in 10 years. It was when a fast cyclist was annoyed at having to navigate past a family and their dog. The kids tend to get in the way of the cyclists as much as the dogs. For the most part, everyone does his or her best. I would like to suggest that Surrey Parks and Rec take a walk with a friend with a dog in Dogwood Park, no earbuds. I would also like to suggest they use our family solution to issues – find a compromise that makes everyone a little unhappy. Megan Makepeace, White Rock
Q Four hundred and seventy nine signatures were collected during the past week from people using Dogwood Park, objecting to the placement of a fence limiting park space for dog walkers. It is the opinion of the current park users that there are very few places to walk dogs off-leash. Bike riders are free to ride with freedom on the roads and assigned trails. Surely the few bike riders that now use the park can co-exist with the dog walkers. Robert A. Herbert, Surrey Q An open letter to the City of Surrey. This is to voice my opposition to the planned fencing off at Dogwood Park. I have taken my dogs to this park for many years, even when it was still used by horses. In all those years, there has never been a confrontation between horses, runners and dogs. Why is it that now, when there are so many other parks available to runner/cyclists, it seems necessary to fence off part of the park? This park is a lovely bit of ‘wilderness’ in an everchanging cityscape. Fencing will not only impair dogs and their owners, it will be an eyesore. Could it be that some ‘high profile’ friend of city hall put in the complaint? I thought only in White Rock could something like this take place. The park is frequented by dog owners, not only from Surrey, but farther away, simply because of its beauty. So, please reconsider. Leave this beautiful area as it is. Besides, ‘Friends of Dogwood Park’ have put in many hours over the years, cleaning ‘their’ park with no cost to the city. Please wake up, whoever is in charge, and comply to the wishes of your people. Gerda Barwieck, Surrey

No injuries reported after Sunday shooting
Shots before peace march Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Shots rang out again in Newton on the weekend, this time just an hour before a peace march calling for an end to recent violence was to begin. On Sunday, at about 8 p.m., Surrey RCMP
were called to the 13400-block of 70B Avenue to a report of gunfire. Police found evidence shots had been fired, but no injuries were reported. It’s the 31st shooting in Surrey and Delta in about two months, half of which are believed
to be connected to rival dial-a-dope operators fighting over turf. The shooting came just an hour before a peace march planned by a local filmmaker. Mani Amar, who made the documentary A Warrior’s Religion, a film examining South
Asian gang life, held the peace march at 9 p.m. at 120 Street and 72 Avenue. Amar turned to Twitter just as the shots rang out in Newton. “Apparently another shooting in Newton. Don’t let Gangsterism win. Come march for PEACE.� Prior to the march he said something as simple as a walk can make a world of change. “It is our innate and moral duty to help bring awareness to issues that afflict us,� Amar said. A Warrior’s Religion, featured the first on-camera interview granted by notorious gangster Bal Buttar. It won Best Documentary honours at the Sikh International Film Festival in New York. As of Monday afternoon, police said they were still trying to determine if the incident was linked to any of the previous shootings.

Police last week announced the arrest of a man they believe is connected with a flurry of shootings in Surrey and Delta over the past two months. Chandanjot Singh Gill, an 18-year-old Surrey resident, has been charged with three counts of unauthorized possession of a firearm, one count of possession of a firearm with ammunition, one count of unsafe storage of a firearm, and one count of trafficking in a controlled substance. Gill’s arrest came after a May 12 search warrant at the residence of a man believed to be involved in the ongoing conflict, police say. The home in the 7300-block of 123 Street, along with a vehicle, was searched. Bulk marijuana, as well as four rifles and one handgun, were seized. Gill is in custody and is due in Surrey Provincial Court May 29. Surrey’s Munroop Singh Hayer, 21, was also arrested and has been charged with one count of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. – Kevin Diakiw

or the first time in about two decades, White Rock had an official float in another community’s parade – and it made an impression. Saturday, the brightly coloured sea-themed creation joined the 41st Hyack International Parade in New Westminster, winning both the Director’s Award and the Sweepstake Award Best Overall Float. “We felt we would get something, for sure,” a thrilled White Rock Events Society Chair Deanna Pedersen said Monday. “Mission accomplished.

In addition to White Rock’s Sea Festival, it’s also set to be part of festivities in Marysville, Wash. on June 20; in Steveston on July 1; in Seattle on July 25; and in Penticton on Aug. 8. Pedersen said Thursday that Marysville officials are “just thrilled to death” to include White Rock in their event, and she predicted that outside interest would grow as word of the float’s revival spreads. She was right. White Rock’s colourful entry Saturday caught more than a few eyes. “It was hugely received, it was wonderful,” Pedersen said.
“We had a lot of people coming over to the float… wondering how we did that, or built that. Tons of people taking pictures. “We had a lot of communities coming over to us afterward, wanting us to go to their parade, and we’re inviting them to ours.” Pedersen said the parade was also good exposure for White Rock’s upcoming sea festival, as Hyack MCs broadcast details of it at three stations along the parade route. “It was a win-win for everybody,” she said. “We just want to make sure that this float is worth it.

Survey online
The City of White Rock is calling on residents to share their thoughts on the management of trees and other vegetation throughout the city, with the launch of an online survey. According to a notice on the city’s website Friday, feedback from the survey will be used to help develop an Urban Forest Management Plan. The post describes an urban forest as “a community’s trees, shrubs, herbaceous low-growing perennial vegetation and soil” on both public and private land, and states the plan will “provide direction for the future maintenance of the urban forest.” In addition to the survey, the city also had a booth dedicated to the forest management plan at the White Rock Vision Fair Sunday, with representatives answering questions and discussing the plan with residents. Results from the survey and vision fair will be made public at an Urban Forest Management Plan forum, set for June 24, 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the White Rock Community Centre, 15154 Russell Ave. To find out more, visit www.whiterockcity.ca – Melissa Smalley

Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg chats with students during a Shorekeepers training workshop last weekend, hosted by Friends of Semiahmoo Bay Society.
Students take part in Shorekeepers program
Learning science of the shore Nearly two dozen International Baccalaureate students learned a little more about the importance of the local coastline this month, during Shorekeepers training hosted by Friends of Semiahmoo Bay Society. The weekend “citizen science” workshop – held May 15-17 at the South Surrey Rec Centre and on White Rock’s West Beach – aimed to teach participants how to monitor and map changes in the marine ecosystem. Noting the Shorekeepers program no longer receives
federal funding, FOSBS president Margaret Cuthbert thanked Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg for funds ($10,000) received
from the Ministry of Community, Sport & Cultural Development. The money will benefit shoreline-habitat restoration activities, help in the evaluation
of eelgrass meadows in eastern Boundary Bay, used to host workshops and public events and provide the Beach Hero marine-interpretive program, Cuthbert said.

Parents with disabled and special-needs children know what a difficult task it is to go grocery shopping – trying to juggle a shopping cart and a child in a wheelchair at the same time. That’s not going to be the case at Save-On-Foods at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre from now on, thanks to the presence of a specially designed cart co-sponsored by the White Rock Elks Club. Called Caroline’s Carts, the vehicles have been a success in Save-On stores across Canada, allowing parents to secure children with safe but comfortable straps in a rear-facing seat in the same cart they use for shopping. The project is an ongoing partnership between Elks Clubs and Save-On-Foods that has placed some 450 carts in stores across the country, according to White Rock Elks member Senga Cowie. She was on hand at the White Rock Save-On-Foods May 13 with other members, including club president Ray Hunt and store manager Ryan Dennis, as a new cart was store tested by regular patron Kim Shauer and her developmentally disabled daughter, Julia, 7, helped by Julia’s older sister, Ashley, 10. The new cart was an initiative of local members Lois Duke and Mary Fraser, who organized a fundraiser that made just over $500. That, with a matching grant from Save-On, was enough to purchase the cart for the store. Like all the other Caroline’s Carts, it can carry any child

THIS IS THE LIFE
Report finds seniors’ assisted living underused
Advocate calling for housing reform Tom Fletcher Black Press
Too many seniors are going into residential care when they could still be accommodated in assisted living, due to rules that are “outdated and too restrictive,” B.C. Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie says in a new report. The report found a 10-per-cent vacancy rate for assisted-living facilities, meaning space is usually available, at least in urban areas. It calls for a “fundamental redesign” of regulations for registered assisted living, to change spousal eligibility and reduce the number of higher-functioning seniors moving to residential care. More than 90 per cent of B.C. seniors live independently and 80 per cent are homeowners, who should be able to apply for a provincial loan against equity to pay for repairs, the report recommends. “A new roof or the need to fix a dilapidated deck may be a cost that forces a senior out of a house they
have loved for decades,” Mackenzie said. “Living in a house that is worth $500,000 or even a million dollars does not mean much if you’re living alone on $24,000 or less, which is the median income of seniors in B.C., and you can’t find the cash to pay the bills.” Health Minister Terry Lake said he supports the direction of Mackenzie’s 18 recommendations, and the ministry is working on assisted=living changes. Some recommendations, such as providing private rooms with ensuite bath for residential care beds, have “widereaching implications for health authorities” and require more study, Lake said. A survey of B.C. seniors finds 20 per cent are renters, with one in five of those receiving a rental subsidy. Average rents range from a high of $1,038 in Vancouver to $547 in Quesnel, and the report finds that for rural communities, the biggest challenge is not cost but the availability of suitable housing.

e second step uses an infrared light pad at 830nm, reaching deeper into the muscle layers, as well as the tendons and ligaments. e third step includes an infrared laser wand at 840nm that is placed speci cally on the a ected areas by a trained laser therapist. is light is very concentrated and targets the deepest structures, stimulating healing in and around ligaments, cartilage, joints, and even bone.
How Does Cold Laser Therapy Work?
e Bio ex Cold Laser erapy system is a three step process, each using a di erent wavelength of light. e rst step uses a red light pad at 660nm, which gets absorbed by the cells of the skin and underlying super cial layers of muscle.
CARTILAGE
The various depths reached by Cold Laser Therapy
How Cold Laser Therapy Helps Arthritis
Cold Laser erapy breaks the cycle of degenerating cartilage by delivering light-based energy to cells of tissues that have been a ected by osteoarthritis and are not healing fast enough, or at all. is energy stimulates speci c chemical reactions in the cell to quickly speed up the healing proces s, res ult ing in re d u ce d in ammation and the elimination of pain. e light energy delivered by Cold Laser erapy helps the cells to naturally overcome and stop in ammation. is reduces arthritis pain, often after relatively few treatments. More importantly, this also allows the cells to undertake the next phase of repair and healing. Especially the infrared light energy activates and promotes the natural cartilage growth process by increasing the production of cellular energy (ATP). It also stimulates the bone cells to replicate and produce new healthy bone tissue. And it increases the ability of blood cells to deliver oxygen and nutrients required for healing of the a ected cells.
White Rock resident solves chronic knee pain and avoids surgery Ms. M had su ered for a long time from osteoarthritis in both of her knees, leading to increasingly debilitating levels of pain. She was having great dif culty walking for longer periods of time as well as going up and down stairs. Sleeping through the night had also become a problem, because the pain would wake her. It came to be normal for her to rely on p painkillers to help her function on a day to day basis. Over the years, she had undertaken numerous therapies and treatments to stem the tide of increasing pain without much success. Even full knee replacement surgery on her left knee only helped to a degree, leaving her with signi cant discomfort in the replaced knee even well after the expected post surgical healing time. After Ms. M visited Solaj Wellness Centre to learn more about Cold Laser erapy she decided that she would give it a try on her right knee (the knee that had not yet been replaced), in the hope that she might be able to avoid knee replacement surgery on that knee. After the rst four treatment sessions, Ms. M experienced signi cantly less discomfort in her knee and she could nally sleep throughout the night without being woken up by pain. And after just two weeks of treatment sessions, she stopped taking pain medication altogether. Having had to take painkillers on a daily basis for years and putting up with their unpleasant side e ects, being able to discontinue her daily painkiller regimen was another true milestone moment for her. As she progressed through her treatments, Ms. M’s knee continued to show improvement. Soon she was able to take longer walks with her husband along the beach. She even started to ride the recumbent bike to help regain strength in her knee. After 15 treatments over an 8 week period, Ms. M was able to stop her treatments. She had virtually no knee pain, had continued to stay o pain medication and was able to become more active than she had been in years.
When Ms. M went back to Solaj two months after her last treatment for a check-up and “refresher” treatment (commonly suggested for those with signi cant arthritis), she continued to have no pain in her knee and she has been able to keep up with her new, increased level of physical activity. A while later, Solaj received a message from Ms. M:
Email from Ms. M: “I had become very despondent after a number of years with extremely painful arthritic knee s. One arthroscopic procedure and one complete knee replacement later I continued to deal with one extre mely painful arthritic knee that did not require replacing and remained depen dent on presc ription pain medication in order to function on a very basic level . Then I read an article in our local paper submitted by the Solaj Wellness Cent re about Cold Laser Therapy. The main point I took from the article was that it would reliev e pain and allev iate the need for pain medication. I was willing to try anything that might achieve that goal. I met with Dr. Melanie Rapoport of the Solaj Well ness Cent re for a consultation. After our discussion there was no quest ion I was going to give the laser therapy a try and Dr. Mel began my treatment immediately. After only two weeks of treatment I could function without any pain medication although there was still some discomfort in the knee. I continued my course of treatment as presc ribed by Dr. Mel and at eight weeks was completely pain free and able to function normally and am no longe r dependent on medication in order to function. I would recommend anyone that is suffe ring with pain to definitely utilize Cold Laser Therapy. It certainly worked for me.”

More garbage reform eyed Jeff Nagel Black Press
More policy changes are being promised by the provincial government on how garbage disposal and recycling can be regulated. But it’s not yet clear whether any new rules will steer more garbage to waste incinerators, landfills or other technologies in the years ahead. Environment Minister Mary Polak appointed Surrey-Panorama MLA Marvin Hunt to review the issue last fall when the province rejected Metro Vancouver’s attempt to ban out-ofregion waste hauling – a measure to protect the regional district’s tipping-fee revenue. Hunt has proposed six guiding principles that mirror much of what Metro is already doing
to promote recycling The company pitches and waste reduction, it as a way to greatly and enforce bans on boost Metro’s recycling dumping recyclables. rate and predicts it will But he also suggests also leave little garbage local governments let left to burn in a new business take incinerator, the lead in effectively determining killing that what emerging Metro initiative. waste Hunt is technologies skeptical that will be most Belkorp can productive. extract as much “Let the usable material market do from garbage the deciding,” as it claims, but Marvin Hunt Hunt said in says the firm MLA an interview. shouldn’t be “You have to denied the right allow the private sector to risk its own capital in into this otherwise the attempt. we will never advance “We’re trying to get as technology beyond much value out of that where we are.” residual as we possibly Belkorp Environmental can,” Hunt said. wants to build a mixedMetro has been waste material-recovery reluctant so far to grant facility that pulls Belkorp a licence for recyclables from garbage its plant – regional that would otherwise be planners think the landfilled or incinerated. resulting material will
be too contaminated and suspect the company is mainly trying to ensure garbage keeps going to its Cache Creek landfill, rather than an incinerator. But Hunt said building a costly processor that fails to extract plenty of recyclables from garbage would be a quick way to lose money. Recycling industries also worry they’ll have less access to recyclable material if garbage processors are built, particularly if that results in fewer households using blue bins. Hunt said he agrees the best quality recyclables come when households or businesses separate them – which he said local government should encourage – rather than leaving it to mechanized sorting. The former Surrey councillor championed waste-to-energy when he served on the Metro board. Today, he still thinks the economics favour waste-to-energy proponents, who will have short hauling distances and valuable energy to sell compared to garbage “being dragged all the way to Cache Creek to just put it in a hole.” Hunt said Lehigh Cement’s plan to burn Metro garbage as fuel in its Delta operation looks particularly promising. “I definitely believe that the residuals have value to them,” he said. He said regional districts are right to carefully regulate the industry so as much is extracted from waste as possible. Hunt said garbage tipping fees should be high enough that they encourage people to recycle, but not so high that waste flows out to Abbotsford or the U.S. to avoid Metro tipping fees, or is illegally dumped. “Metro Vancouver created their own problem,” Hunt said, noting the region was forced to reform its tipping fee structure in April after the province blocked Bylaw 280. More detail on what the province will propose is expected later this summer when an intentions paper is released, followed by consultations in the fall. A final waste planning guideline is expected to be released in 2016.

Denturists

Patients who choose implant supported Tanya Little and dentures report a greatly enhanced Gordon Brown quality of life, with increased comfort, Denturists confidence, and eating ability. Dental implants have a 98% success rate. Most patients who wear dentures and have implants, have the implants placed in the lower jaw. The reason for this, is that the lower jaw is on a hinge. This hinge type of movement allows your jaw to move up and down, as well as side to side creating a difficult fit. Dental implants allow the lower denture to snap on top of the implant and prevent it from moving all over. There are many types of implant supported dentures so please call our office for a free consultation and we will be happy to go over all of your options. You can also find more information on our website.

Our Personal Trainers can customize a fitness program or workout just for you with Aqua Aerobic classes, Yoga, Pilates and more! Call Sean or drop by today for a tour of our facility.
Socializing does not just mean with other dogs. It is best to introduce your puppy to everything they may get exposed to throughout their life. Introduce your pup to as many people, places and things (including different surfaces) as you can. Be careful to not overwhelm him with too much at once. Short sessions with lots of play and/ or food keeps things fun. Enroll him into a puppy training class, encourage him to explore new environments and handle him often. Picking him up, touching his paws, face and gently opening his mouth will make your pup comfortable with being handled when he grows up. Your veterinarian and groomer will thank you for that down the road. The most important time for socialization is in your pups first three months of life. If your pup is older than that, don’t worry, it is never too late to start! So get out there and take him everywhere with you! Schedule regular grooming appointments and bring him to daycare keep up with all of your hard work while you are busy. We are available to help you with this and any other dog questions you may have.

journey through the wild Canadian north aboard our celebrated expedition ship, Akademik Ioffe.

Wildlife and the beautiful Arctic scenery are the major draws of our expedition, but there is plenty of historical interest, and the stories of the ill-fated expedition by Sir John Franklin more than 150 years ago will be central to our journey. Franklin made his last heroic foray into the Arctic in 1845 with two ships and 129 men, never to be heard from again. We will visit the last known wintering site of his ships the Erebus andTerror, and other sites along the way where traces of the expedition have been found.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
I Hate Hamlet White Rock Players’ Club next production, I Hate Hamlet, directed by Dale Kelly, opens June 3 at Coast Capital Playhouse, and runs to June 20. But lovers of the Bard can take heart. In spite of the title, Paul Rudnick’s 1991 dramatic comedy is a witty exercise sure to amuse both fans of Shakespeare and theatre lore in general. The statement does, however, sum up the feelings of Rudnick’s central character, successful television actor Andrew Rally (Matt Loop), who finds himself torn between accepting a new and lucrative opportunity and pleasing his girlfriend Dierdre (Rebekah McEwan) and his agent, the extravagant Lillian Troy (Sheila Keating) – not to mention the ghost of legendary actor John Barrymore (John Cousins) – by appearing on stage as the melancholy Danish prince. The troubles begin when Andrew rents an eccentric, gothic New York City apartment that was once the home of Barrymore, famed early 20th century stage and film star – and legendary alcoholic scoundrel. As the result of a seance held by real estate agent Felicia Dantine (Coleen Byberg), Barrymore’s shade returns to harangue Andrew into accepting the opportunity to appear on stage in Barrymore’s greatest role – Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Complicating matters is pompous producer Gary Peter Lefkowitz (Pat McDermott), who can’t understand why Andrew doesn’t leap at the chance to return to Los Angeles for a plum series part. Coast Capital Playhouse is located at 1532 Johnston Rd. Tickets are $18 for adults, $16 for students and seniors. To reserve, call 604-536-7535.
Auditions for youth Paging young actors: artistic director Susan Pendleton’s highly-regarded Peninsula-based Surrey Youth Theatre Company (The Giver, Stuart Little, Pinkalicious, Madeline’s Christmas) will be auditioning boys and girls aged eight to 17 for its 19th season. Auditions will be held this Thursday (May 28) – 3:30 to 5 p.m. for ages eight to 12; 6-8 p.m. for ages 13-17. Auditionees must pre-register, and preparation materials are required. To register, and for details of audition venue, email sytco@shaw.ca For more information, visit www. surreyyouththeatre.ca
Traditional jazz The two-beat sounds of Dixieland and retro jazz continue to set toes tapping through the spring with White Rock Traditional Jazz Society’s regular sessions 2 to 5 p.m. most Sundays at the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240 (2643 128 St.). Admission is usually $10. Upcoming performances include Holly Arntzen’s ‘Some Like It Hot’ show (May 31) and the Crescent City Jazz Band (June 7).
Cantabile, Alan Liu, classical guitar soloist for Faure’s Pavane, and guitarist Braden Williams, in Harold Birston’s arrangement of the music from The Magnificent Seven. Tickets ($12, $8 students and seniors,) are available at Tapestry Music or by calling (604) 538-1460.
Erika Bennedik students It’s an afternoon of music and nostalgic recollections. Current students and distinguished alumni of well-respected Ocean Park violin teacher Erika Bennedik will be on hand for a special 30th anniversary student recital, Saturday, June 13 at 3 p.m. at Mount Olive Lutheran Church, 2350 148 St. In addition to soloists and four quartet ensembles, musicians will include a former Bennedik student who is now, herself, an instructor in the area, and another who is a member of the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony and a regular extra with the famous Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra.

A Night of Passion And now a classical concert with a real difference. Audience members have two choices for seating for A Night of Passion: Gala Opera Concert & Silent Auction, a celebration and benefit for the re-launch of the Young People’s Opera Society of BC (Saturday, June 6 at Surrey Arts Centre’s studio theatre). For $35 one can see it the traditional way, from the audience section. For $45 you can actually sit right on stage with performers – and new YPOS artistic directors Debra Da Vaughn (soprano) and Christopher Simmons (tenor), who will be joined by the equally talented mezzosoprano Dionne Sellinger and baritone Andrew Greenwood, and musical director/ pianist Angus Kellett for a sparkling evening of glorious melodies and operatic passions. Host for the concert, which begins at 7 p.m., is Colleen Maybin, education and community engagement director for
Vancouver Opera. But the fun begins even earlier, at 6 p.m., with a fundraising auction offering the potential for bargain prices on such valuable items as a new Mason and Hamlin grand piano – likely available for just above cost – a Charles Walther upright grand, a giclee print from famous Hawaiian painter Fanny Bilodeau, plus tickets for sporting events; dance items, hotel stays, restaurant certificates, spa packages and a deluxe evening at the Vancouver Opera. Also included in the ticket price: a chance to meet the artists at a post-concert reception. To reserve tickets, call 604-501-5566, or visit https://ticket.surrey.ca

Special guests, the VSO School of Music String Ensembles, will help create what co-director Harold Birston describes as “the richest string sound we could possibly muster.” The program, conducted by artistic director Carla Birston, will include Elgar’s Serenade for Strings, Rossini’s Overture to The Barber of Seville, and Borodin’s In the Steppes of Central Asia. The orchestra will also welcome three dazzling soloists: principal cellist Yu An Cheng performing Tchaikovsky’s Andante
Randy (Mojo Zydeco) Schultz’ new band, Swamp City makes its Peninsula debut with a CD release party Saturday, June 13, at 8 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240. As the name suggests, it’s still about Southern roots, but with a wider range of influences than simply zydeco (although the washboard is still a part of it, and Schultz admits he’ll still pick up the accordion once in a while). Like all Schultz projects, the emphasis is on upbeat, feel-good, toe-tapping Southernstyle dance music – but it’s also agreeably eccentric, with some highly individual Schultz-built instruments, including a guitar with a licence-plate resonator, and a sophisticated version of the traditional washtub bass. Joining Schultz in Swamp City are such stalwarts of the local scene as Tony Rees (guitar), Kat Wahama (vocals), Mickey Hovan (bass) and Delta’s Joe Backus on drums. The Crescent Branch is located at 2643 128 St. Tickets, $15, are available at Tapestry Music and at the legion, 604-535-1080.
Cory Weeds concert Jazz impresario/alto saxophonist Cory Weeds (Cellar Jazz Series, Cellar Records) has reached an impressive milestone – a 100th release by the label he founded in 2001. To launch Condition Blue – an album inspired by the music of hard-bop saxophonist Jackie McLean, and featuring New York-based organist Mike LeDonne – Weeds is bringing LeDonne and his own Vancouver quartet to White Rock for an intimate concert at Blue Frog Studios, May 30 at 8 p.m. Blue Frog Studios is located at 1328 Johnston Rd.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Volleyball squad stages ‘incredible comeback’
Seaside girls win nationals Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
It’s not often that the penultimate game of a national tournament overshadows the championship game itself. But that was the case for the Peninsula-based Seaside Volleyball Club’s under-14 girls team, who claimed top spot in their division of Volleyball Canada Championships last week in Calgary, but had to stage an impressive semifinal comeback en route to the national crown. Having advanced to semifinals after winning a do-or-die quarterfinal tilt against the top-ranked Alberta squad, Seaside – the No. 3 B.C. seed by virtue of a bronze medal at provincials last month – found themselves squared off against the second-ranked B.C. club, Vancouver’s Thunder Blue. Seaside had not lost to their provincial rivals all season, but did not get off to a good start in semifinals, dropping the first game, and finding themselves down 18-7 at one point in the second game. “We had a slow start… then found ourselves in a very tough spot – I think the worst I’ve ever been in as a coach,” said Seaside head coach Bob Smith. The Peninsula crew soon rallied – in part, Smith said, to the “exceptionally strong and consistent serving” from Grace Hoffmann and Talia Kent-

Seaside U14s celebrate their win. Snowsell – and ended up winning the second game 25-23. They capped the comeback with a 15-11 win in the third game. Smith called the win “the most incredible comeback I’ve ever seen in over 30 years of volleyball.” After winning in such dramatic fashion, Seaside still had the most important game of the tournament to play – the final, where they battled Ontario’s second seed. The game failed to match the drama of the semifinals, and Seaside rolled over their eastern foes in two straight games (25-20 and 25-16). Earlier in the 32-team Division 1 tournament, Seaside – whose roster was made up primarily of players from Elgin Park, Earl Marriott, White Rock Christian Academy and Southridge schools – had placed second in first- and second-day round robin pools.

As Scotiabank Reds’ Laura Krysko jumps to make a catch, Spencer Lawson of BC Children’s Hospital’s Bad News Sunny Bears makes it safely to second base at the 25th anniversary slopitch fundraiser for BC Children’s Hospital at Softball City Saturday.
After a one-year hiatus, the Semiahmoo Minor Lacrosse Association’s popular Wayne Goss Tournament is set to return to the floor. The peewee lacrosse tourney – now in its 28th year, according to organizers – will run Friday through Sunday at both Centennial Arena in White Rock, as well as at Cloverdale Arena. Fourteen teams of 10- and 11-year-olds from both the local association and across the province will take part. Last year’s tournament – which was to be held a city-run Centennial Arena – was cancelled because of the strike by White Rock city workers. “I think last year was the first time it was ever not held, but we’re happy to have it back, for sure,” said Sheri Hildebrand, Semiahmoo
Minor Lacrosse’s director of operations. “It’s huge for our association, and for our community, to have an event like this that’s been around for so long.” It’s important to Wayne Goss and his family, too. Last year, Semi’s then-president Glen Stoten told Peace Arch News that last year’s cancellation “was crushing for him.” This year, Goss will again be on hand Sunday to hand out trophies at the championship game. Goss was a member of the New Westminster Salmonbellies during the late 1960s and ’70s. He is a member of the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame as well as the BC Sports Hall of Fame. In 1982, while helping a friend build a cabin, he slipped and fell 10 metres. He suffered a severe braini see page 32

and what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done.â&#x20AC;? Perhaps owing to its oneyear absence, Hildebrand said requests to play in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament were higher than usual. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got a ton of response â&#x20AC;&#x201C; way more than we can handle,â&#x20AC;?
she said. The tournament begins Friday, with wraps up Sunday evening with a pair of championship games and closing ceremonies. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final will be held at 2:30 p.m., and the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; division final is at 4 p.m.
