Two schools in lockdown, as emergency crews respond to report of violent domestic incident

Prank 911 call triggers huge response Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A prank call reporting shots fired and a violent domestic incident sent two schools into emergency lockdown and massive police resources to a South Surrey neighbourhood Wednesday. Police were advised around noon of the 911 call received by the BC Ambulance Service, and were on the scene of a home in a cul-de-sac in the 14600-block of 17A Street “within a couple minutes.” An hour later, however, the issue was confirmed a non-event. “What we discovered is this is a fictitious, prank call,” acting Insp. Keith Bramhill told reporters. “There was a lone female occupant that was… distraught to see the police presence outside her home.” Resources deployed included the RCMP’s tactical armoured vehicle, the Emergency Response Team, a canine unit and about a dozen other police vehicles. Firefighters and paramedics were also on-scene. Residents reported seeing police staking out the house from behind trees, prior to the alert being lifted. i see page 4

23-year-old’s positivity in face of cancer continues to inspire

Dorchester pushed limits.

very time he looks in the mirror, Guy Dorchester is reminded of his younger brother, Eric, who passed away in April at age 23. The reminder doesn’t come by way of the sibling resemblance shared by the two brothers. Rather, it’s from a scar on the elder Dorchester’s forehead, a souvenir of sorts from a trip the two took to Hawaii, during a reprieve from Eric’s intense chemotherapy schedule. While relaxing poolside on the first day of their vacation, Eric ambushed Guy, pulling him into the swimming pool, where Guy cracked his head

on the bottom of the pool. Though he ended up with 14 stitches – and strict orders to keep his head out of Hawaiian waters for the remainder of his trip – Guy recalls the story fondly, as it highlights not only his late brother’s sense of humour, but a perspective that Eric held steadfast throughout his battle. “Whether it be a vicious scar on your face or the loss of a leg, it’s all superficial, and if you can’t laugh at yourself, you aren’t enjoying life to the fullest,” Guy told a crowd of 400 at Eric’s celebration of life May 2. Eric was 18 and studying at the University of Victoria when he was first diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma in 2010 – the same cancer

Canadian hero Terry Fox had. Two years later, doctors amputated Eric’s left leg above the knee, and he embarked on a rigorous rehabilitation program to regain his mobility. Not only did he learn to walk again, the Earl Marriott grad was able to take part in his favourite activities, including snowboarding, wake boarding and rock climbing. Featured in Peace Arch News in 2013, a year after his amputation, Eric said losing his limb “probably made me a better person.” “I enjoy breaking barriers and pushing my limits,” he said. “I don’t feel like I’m happy or accomplishing something unless I’m equal or better than the average person.”

His positive outlook and refusal to let limitations hold him back – qualities that Guy said he exhibited throughout his entire battle – are aspects of Eric’s legacy that his family hopes to carry on in his name. “He was more active after his amputation than he was before,” Guy said. “He had a zest for life, and he inspired all those around him. He made people realize that nobody has really got it that bad – it’s all based on your perspective.” Guy said he and his parents, Allison and Ted, are hoping to eventually team up with an organization that provides assistance to amputees wanting to take part in sports. i see page 4

Entrapment arguments to determine if jury’s verdict should be stayed

Would-be bomber couple found guilty Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Surrey’s John Nuttall and Amanda Korody were found guilty this week of planning a Canada Day attack in 2013 that involved planting homemade bombs outside the B.C. legislature in Victoria. A B.C. Supreme Court jury in Vancouver found the couple guilty of one count each of conspiring to commit murder and possessing explosives for the benefit, or on behalf of, a terrorist organization. The 12-member jury began deliberating Sunday and delivered its verdict Tuesday. According to the CBC, Nuttall made a heart shape with his fingers toward Korody as the verdict was read in court.

The case, however, is not over. Justice Catherine Bruce will not enter the convictions until defence lawyers have an opportunity to argue officers entrapped Nuttall and Korody during a months-long police sting. The verdicts can be stayed if the judge finds there was entrapment or other process abuses. Lawyers for both of the accused argue undercover police officers posing as extremist jihadist sympathizers manipulated and pushed Nuttall and Korody, who are both former heroin addicts with money problems and had recently converted to the Muslim faith. “The RCMP manufactured this crime, and that is not permissible in our law,” said Nuttall’s lawyer Marilyn Sandford following the verdicts. “We also have arguments that the

police themselves committed crimes. They were involved in exactly the same activities as our clients were to a large extent, at least some of them.” Korody’s lawyer said his client is prepared for the next stage, describing the entrapment process as John Nuttall where “the rubber hits the road in this case.” Prosecutors maintain the couple knew what they were doing and used the undercover officers – who they believed had legitimate terrorist connections – to obtain explosives, which they used to make pressure-cooker

bombs. During the trial, which began in February, the jury saw dozens of hours of undercover video showing Nuttall and Korody meeting with the police operatives, making plans for the Victoria attack and constructing the bombs – which police Amanda Korody ensured were inert – in a Delta hotel room. “This is going to rock the world,” Nuttall told his wife in one of the videos. “Al-Qaeda Canada – that’s who we are.” A date will be set next week to hear entrapment arguments in July.

Recurring issue for White Rock homeowners

Car flips onto Oxford Street house Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

A young female driver was airlifted to hospital Wednesday after a dramatic early morning crash in White Rock. The single-vehicle crash took place at approximately 5:25 a.m., according to White Rock RCMP Const. Shaileshni Molison, who said the vehicle crashed into a home on Oxford Street near Marine Drive. Bob Berger, who lives in the Oxford Street home where the crash took place, told Peace Arch News he was awoken by his wife, Sandra Sammartino, after she was startled by a “huge noise.” Berger went outside to find a car upside down in his driveway, resting against the corner of his home. He said he saw a medium-sized dog lying near the vehicle, bleeding profusely, and a young woman trapped inside the car. The vehicle, a four-door Honda Civic, had a green ‘Novice’ magnet on the bumper.

First responders arrived shortly after to extract the driver from the car, Berger said. She was conscious at the time first responders attended the scene, according to Molison, and was transported by air ambulance to Royal Columbian Hospital. The dog was taken to a veterinary clinic for treatment. “It looked like he was injured, but he’s going to be OK,” Molison said. As of PAN press deadline Thursday, Molison did not have an update on the driver’s condition, however, she said she was still in hospital. RCMP continue to investigate the cause of the crash. This week’s crash was the second time in less than three years that Berger’s house has been the scene of a dramatic accident. In October 2012, a then-25-year-old was taken to hospital with minor injuries after after the BMW he was driving slammed into a parked car, a neighbour’s carport and the side of Berger’s house, leaving behind “extensive

damage.” At the time, White Rock RCMP said they believed speed and alcohol were factors in the crash. In both incidents, the drivers were travelling west on Buena Vista when they lost control, Berger said. He said after the 2012 crash, he took his concerns about the stretch of road to city hall, to no avail. “We had requested from the city the possibility of putting some barricades or some roundabouts to slow the vehicles coming down that hill, but nothing has been done,” Berger said. When reached for comment, a city spokesperson said that because the incident is under investigation by the RCMP, the city would not comment at this time. Berger said damage sustained as a result of this week’s crash wasn’t as extensive as the previous incident, he said. This time, railings were ripped out in two places, and decorative siding had been damaged.

The City of White Rock is holding a public information meeting this month regarding the future of the city’s water utility. The meeting, set to take place June 16 at 5:30 p.m. at the White Rock Community Centre (15154 Russell Ave.), is to allow residents to “learn more about the options currently available to the city in acquiring the public utility,” a city news release issued Tuesday said. The city first announced its intentions to take over from the current owner of White Rock’s water utility, Edmonton-based Epcor, in March 2013, and began officially negotiating the purchase in June of that year. The decision came soon after Epcor announced a multi-milliondollar plan (Total Water Quality Management Project) to increase chlorination of the city’s water supply, upgrade infrastructure and boost capacity. The chlorination was ordered by Fraser Health in response to E. coli contamination – traced to aging roof seals at the Merklin reservoir – that sparked a boil-water advisory in August 2010. White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin has described taking over the water utility as a “bold” move that would require the city to take on “big debt.” At the same time, he said, “we believe it’s in the best interest of taxpayers.” While little information has been released in the past two years regarding options, Baldwin has said that if Epcor isn’t willing to sell, the city could explore expropriation. He has also said that should the city take over, it’s possible that Epcor could be contracted to continue operations. Another option that was talked about is that of tying into Metro Vancouver’s water system – a move Fraser Health officials said they supported, specifically citing an interest in seeing a reduction of arsenic in White Rock’s water supply. – Tracy Holmes

There were numerous items on the list that Eric was able to accomplish – flying in a helicopter, going whale watching, skeet shooting and ziplining, touring Alcatraz and appearing on the Jumbo-tron at a sporting event, to name a few. However, some of the items near the top of Eric’s list – which he more often referred to by an R-rated term that rhymes with ‘bucket list’ – have been taken over by Guy in recent weeks.

A forum to discuss Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Temporary Foreign Workers program drew about two dozen people to Semiahmoo Library last weekend. The two-hour event was the first of what is intended to be a provincewide series on the issue, said organizer Stuart Lyster, retired minister of Sunnyside United Church. Lyster said the federal government has â&#x20AC;&#x153;created a messâ&#x20AC;? of the temporary foreign workers program. Created to help fill jobs that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being filled by Canadians, changes â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â including recent enforcement of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;four in, four outâ&#x20AC;? rule â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â have morphed it into â&#x20AC;&#x153;this kind of incredibly complex thing that might not even be serving employers that want to have a stable workforce,â&#x20AC;? Lyster said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become a nightmare to administer and the federal government is not providing the proper oversight, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not providing the legislative framework.â&#x20AC;?

editorial

Better safe than sorry

hey’re damned if they do, and damned if they don’t. Police response to a 911 call in South Surrey midday Wednesday has been termed ‘overkill’ by some, particularly since the call, reporting a violent domestic incident, turned out to be a prank. To most, the sight of RCMP members armed with assault rifles, a tactical armoured vehicle, a canine squad – and about a dozen other vehicles – swarming a quiet Peninsula neighbourhood is disturbing. As an image of the increasing militarization of our police forces, it makes us long for some kinder, gentler past where the idea of massed police response and ‘lockdowns’ of schools – both H.T. Thrift Elementary and Semiahmoo Secondary took that preventative measure at the request of the RCMP – were virtually unknown; when the most likely first responder was a solitary beat officer, or a single squad car. But, given the times in which we live, what would we have the police do? Numerous incidents of murders and standoffs between shooters and police in domestic cases – even over the last year – have heightened our awareness of the volatility of such situations. It’s been a sad fact of life, ever since the formation of modern police forces, that responders, no matter how brave or welltrained, never know what they’re walking into. And domestic situations have been among the deadliest, even in the kinder, gentler past we like to imagine. (It’s close to 100 years ago that a Vancouver chief constable was killed while attempting, courageously, to confront an armed and dangerous man barricaded in an apartment with his spouse.) It’s easy to decry heavily armed officers surrounding a home containing only one confused and alarmed resident. But, had the situation been a genuine one – a murder, say, committed by a distraught, desperate, armed individual – what would have been the outcome of sending only one or two patrol officers to knock on the door? It’s possible we would have been reporting a tragedy in which two or three or more had died. When the safety of our residents, our children, our officers – even the life of an apparent perpetrator – are at stake, it’s better to be there with too much, too soon, than be there with too little, too late.

continent. I would hazard a guess that most could identify several U.S. state capitals on a map; but could they list Mexico’s states? I certainly couldn’t, not beyond Baja California; and I’m guessing many would think me beyond ignorant. Do any of us really know much about the rest of the world, past our borders? Not our national borders, but closer to home. The borders of our interests. I know a thing or two about a number of subjects – those that specifically fascinate me – but if you were to ask me to identify any champions of lacrosse (our national sport) I would come up short. I know little about chemistry, and nothing about classic ballroom dancing. And I certainly couldn’t name all five French “mother sauces” in cooking, despite being a fan of eating every day; or, without first being told back in college, the difference between “jealousy” and “envy”, despite English being my first language. I remember in grade school when we learned basic skills. Inevitably there were kids who made fun of those that hadn’t yet mastered basic multiplication. “Three times three, hmmph, who doesn’t know that?” But none of us did… until it was explained. So Americans know little about Canada? I question whether most Canadians – with so many today lacking interest in world affairs – could fare much better in an international-trivia game. Indeed, by definition, the questions asked by Trebek involved trivial knowledge. Not much to boast about. Lance Peverley is the editor of Peace Arch News.

Danger only a matter of time

Off-leash safety up to the owner

Editor: With the nice weather come the young kids having fun on their skateboards. It is unfortunate that parents are allowing these young people to use the White Rock roadways like Foster Street, Victoria Avenue and even, at times, Marine Drive. It is just a matter of time before one of these young people are going to collide with a vehicle, resulting in serious injuries or death. Garry Wieler, Langley

Editor: I was walking on East Beach this spring, the tide receded, negotiating tidal pools, aware of surroundings, or humans and their off-leash dogs. I noted a middle-aged woman with a large dog, of the bull breed, in my sight. I suddenly heard the dog bounding towards me, while deliberately facing eastward at my leisurely pace. I’m familiar with the energy and excitement of dogs off-leash, in this atmosphere of freedom and the magic of sea, sky and sun. This canine bumped into me, circled, made lunges at my legs and arm. Next, I was on the hard sand, screaming, “Get this dog on a leash.” The owner nonchalantly said, “Oh, he’s just a puppy and gets excited,” and walked away obviously distracting her charge. Not a word to the 70-odd-year-old woman truggling to right herself. Another passerby with a dog approached and asked if I was OK. She had witnessed the encounter.

City better off going Dutch Editor: Re: ‘Friendly exchange,’ May 27 letters. I like to comment on Wolfgang Schmitz’s letter to the editor regarding the May 8 article, Cities become partners. I totally agree with him that instead of an agreement with China for a partner, we should make closer ties with a city in the Netherlands located at the North Sea. It is a fact that our country has very close ties to Holland, Canadians are loved over there and, yes, our veterans are less able to travel due to advanced age. It would give our youngsters a chance to experience the appreciation the Dutch people have for Canada still after all these years. Adriana de Vries, White Rock

Aborting my walk, I made my way to the beach logs to sit and breathe. I waited for the return of the duo, so I could get the licence of the vehicle and inform the police, but no such luck. Notice to beach lovers/walkers: It depends on the dog breed, the responsible owner and their ability to control the dog if off-leash East Beach is safe for all. E. Fitzpatrick, White Rock

Another chance to clean up act Editor: Re: Peers tend to mess left behind, May 27. If the principal of Earl Marriott Secondary thinks the vandalism at Harrison Hot Springs Beach is an unusual and untypical occurrence, she has another think coming. We who live in and around Alderwood Park watch every day with dismay the utter disregard the students of that school have for the environment. The park is adjacent to Earl Marriott, and a small gate

opening leads from the school to the Mac’s Store on 160 Street. Every lunch time and after school, there is a trail of discarded cartons, bottles and paper wrappings along 160th leading into the park. Receptacles for that sort of trash are mostly empty. The students whose parents are actually making them lunches are also not much inclined to walk over to the trash can. It is so much easier to drop a bottle into the lake, and the ducks don’t complain about the plastic bags swimming around. Branches are consistently broken off for entertainment, and the sidewalks are a perfect target for spitting. Good God, who is rearing these children? I am sure there are some very nice young people in that school, unfortunately, they are not noticeable. If I was them, and my reputation was besmirched in this manner, I would personally take action by watching and stopping this destructive behaviour. How about it, Earl Marriott students. Can you clean up your act yourself? I hope so. Edie Williams, White Rock

Major issues being sidelined An open letter to White Rock mayor and council. I am disturbed by what I have recently read about the White Rock mayor and council. I would have preferred to have read that the mayor and council are focused on the better management of our fair City by the Sea by addressing the following issues: 1. Implementing the councilapproved policy of the Storm Water Management Plan 2. Implementing the councilapproved policy of the Environmental Strategic Plan 3. Implementing the councilapproved policy of the Climate Action Plan 4. Reversing the previous council’s illegal creation of a dog park in a Provincial Wildlife Management Area 5. Addressing the unauthorized pumping of storm water onto private lands when the storm sewers are over capacity. These are some of the important matters I believe the voters of White Rock would appreciate council attending to. Thank you for your time and attention to these important issues.

With no sidewalks – and cars parked on both sides – Everall Street is a danger to pedestrians, writes Trevor Thorne.

Rail not our only safety concern Editor: Re: Street parking raises concern for resident, June 3. Regarding your article on street congestion and concern for emergency-vehicle access, I sent the following email to White Rock Council on May 25: As a resident of Everall Street and a citizen of White Rock, I have serious concerns regarding the increased traffic congestion and pedestrian dangers on Everall Street between North Bluff Road and Thrift Avenue. Construction traffic and parking from the Royce project, and the elimination of staff parking at the Everall Green Baptist Care Home, have created a major increase in both vehicle traffic and street parking. During the work week, it is now normal for all parking spaces on both sides of Everall Street to be completely occupied. A section of Everall Street south of lot 1486 is very narrow and the parked vehicles on both sides of the street constricts traffic flow to a single lane. At this point of the street, there are no sidewalks, so pedestrians – including seniors with mobility scooters

and walking frames, plus parents with small children – are forced to walk down the middle of the street. I have personally witnessed a few near-misses between pedestrians and vehicles While a lot of time and resources are being devoted to improving safety along the railway tracks by the beach, let’s not lose focus on other problem areas. It’s only a matter of time before a collision occurs between a pedestrian and a vehicle on Everall Street. To prevent this happening, I would strongly recommend that White Rock council implemented and enforced the following four traffic safety actions, on Everall Street between North Bluff Road and Thrift. 1) 30 km/h speed zone 2) speed bumps 3) resident-only parking 4) sidewalks New projects – that are starting construction soon – Beverley on Vidal Street, The Elegant development, etc. will make this traffic/pedestrian situation worse. Trevor Thorne, Everall Pointe strata, White Rock

7 years for drug trafficker A Vancouver man who pleaded guilty to drug-trafficking charges after being arrested last August trying to pick up a load of cocaine in Blaine has been sentenced to seven years in prison. Philip Cote, 52, was also handed four years of supervised release for his role in a scheme to smuggle large quantities of cocaine into Canada and MDMA into the U.S., including through the Peace Arch and Pacific Highway borders. According to a news release issued Tuesday by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Cote and a co-accused travelled across the border in tandem 86 times since 2006. Court records indicate Cote, who had trustedtraveller status, used the Peace Arch crossing on July 25, 2014 to meet his contact in Blaine with 20 kilograms of ecstasy hidden in the trunk of a car. He told the contact to pick up a 32-kg load of cocaine and hide it in the walls of an SUV for a return trip. In fact, the person Cote met was working with agents from U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations. When Cote went to pick up the cocaine on Aug. 25, crossing through the Pacific Highway border, he was arrested. Cote pleaded guilty in February to conspiracy to distribute the two drugs. – Tracy Holmes

provincial election. However, a reduction to $2-a-crossing in time for the Pattullo closure would be very popular. It seems best to do things in this order. 1. Await the results of the transit referendum. In the meantime, do not agree to a contract for the Pattullo work. 2. Ask the province to reduce the Port Mann tolls, at least while the Pattullo is restricted. 3. Make a decision on whether or not to close the Pattullo completely for repairs, or to simply demolish it. If demolition is the choice, get started on it as soon as the Highway 1 project is finished. 4. Build a new Pattullo Bridge. Keep the name, which is historic. The bridge is the only public structure in B.C. commemorating Premier T.D. Pattullo, who was premier during the depth of the Depression years. The original bridge was part of his plan to create more jobs at that time. 5. Look more closely at a tolling and road-pricing system throughout the region, so that the burden of building new infrastructure and maintaining what we have is spread evenly around the region. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

White Rock Rotary celebrates

Sixty years of service Alex Browne

Staff Reporter

t’s a proud record of 60 years of service and good fellowship. The White Rock Rotary Club – oldest of five Rotary organizations on the Semiahmoo Peninsula – celebrated its diamond anniversary with a party last week at Hazelmere Golf and Country Club, followed by a picnic lunch near White Rock pier on the actual anniversary date Monday. The evening celebration, punctuated by quips and stories from past-president and MC Frank Sequeira, illustrated that club members have always enjoyed camaraderie and a good helping of friendly ribbing. But as some 120 members and guests heard from numerous speakers, the abiding principle, ‘Service Above Self,’ has always been central to the club’s activities. Each year, the club honours a member of the community with a Paul Harris Award, in recognition of outstanding contributions to charitable work. Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg, White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin – himself a club past-president – and Sources chief executive officer David Young were among those paying tribute to contributions of members to both ❝We’re the one Rotary’s international that spawned projects (including all the others.❞ providing medical expertise and material Joan Apel goods for Third World president nations, and student exchanges) and what Hogg termed the club’s “valued and honoured role in our community.” Also on hand to congratulate club members were Rotary district governor Lyle Ryan, assistant district governor Linda Coyle, Semiahmoo Rotary Club president Stuart Kirkpatrick and Cliff Annable, executive director of the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce. A New Westminster Rotary Club contingent also attended to add congratulations, and to remind members

White Rock Rotary president Joan Apel and president-elect Richard Stott with White Rock’s original fire truck, a 1925 Studebaker. that their club was the sponsor when the White Rock club was founded – predating the incorporation of the City of White Rock by two years. The fourth Rotary club to organize south of the Fraser River, it was formally presented its charter on July 5, 1955, at the Tara Supper Club, with Martin Deacon as the first president. “It’s a big deal for us, being the oldest club in the area,” current president Joan Apel told Peace Arch News. “We’re the one that spawned all the others.” In her address to members and guests, Apel noted the club has 57 active members, with prospective members on the way. “We’ll be going into our 60th year with 60 members,” she said, to applause. Arriving dinner guests were greeted by White Rock’s original fire truck, a 1925 Studebaker, parked outside the dining room. It was a reminder of a new club project – initiated by Apel and to be seen through by president-elect Richard Stott – in which the truck will be moved near White Rock City Hall as a permanent

heritage exhibit. “The city has said they will give us some space between the police station and the firehall,” Stott explained, noting the historic vehicle, currently kept at the B.C. Vintage Truck Museum in Cloverdale, will have a protective glass-walled display house on the site. Past-presidents Bob Livesey and Douglas Brown shared highlights of the club’s history. Livesey – the longest-serving member, with 41 years – said when the club was first chartered, 152 Street wasn’t a through road. “There was no Semiahmoo Centre, no bridge over the Nicomekl and there were government agents’ offices where the Washington Avenue Grill is now.” He noted some names that live on in the community – including Earl Marriott and Dr. Allan Hogg – were among the earliest members of the club. Chicken barbecues at the sea festival, reverse auctions and Valentine’s Day dances were all part of the early fundraising activities, he recalled.

The Rotary Club of White Rock’s many contributions include: • Raising money for international projects, such as the Shanti Uganda Birth House, the Zoe Health Clinic in Honduras, plus numerous projects in Cambodia, Nigeria and India, including initiating a program in Assam to bring pure water to two villages. • Fundraising for local projects, including South Surrey Indoor Pool, Earl Marriott Secondary’s Wheelhouse Theatre, the Coast Capital Playhouse, the Rotary Field House, White Rock’s Centre For Active Living, the annual charity book sale and Terry Fox Run. • Community work, including supporting the annual Sea Festival, beach clean-up, Remembrance Day, Rec for Kids, Sources food bank, Peace Arch Hospital, Salvation Army kettles, the Christmas tree at Morgan Crossing, carol singing at Morgan Place and assembling Christmas hampers for those in need.

inslie Winter has been our life insurance advisor for the past 17 years. You always hope that you never have to actually use your life insurance. It is there ‘just in case’. My world fell apart when my husband suddenly passed away with cancer in 2007. He was too young and the cancer came on quickly. My husband left me and our 4 school aged children behind. Ainslie was there for me and my family. She helped me deal with the Insurance Company. Ainslie was kind, patient and caring. She brought me the insurance money and helped me deal with it. The insurance money helped by letting me stay home from work as long as I needed to be with my children. Without this life insurance money our lives would be very different. I thank Ainslie for taking the time over the years to help my husband and I understand the importance of life insurance. – D. McNaught, Cloverdale

Not hearing clearly when many people are talking? Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, System Audéo V has been designed specifically to understand in group situations. The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in company, or in the restaurant. It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that are decisive when it comes to hearing things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory center of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.

Hearing sensation! Swiss researchers: Audéo V is superior for conversation. Without Audéo V

With Audéo V

The New Audeo V hearing aids provide considerable reduction in noise allowing you to focus on speech.

New hearing chip developed Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing aid chip that is designed to improve speech comprehension in noise, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to

is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation. Interested people can register for a no-obligation demonstration of the Audéo V by calling 888.408.7377

Non Surgical Skin Tightening by New Beauty Institute Ultherapy delivers low levels of focused heat to just the right depth below the skin to target the deep tissues. The surface of the skin remains undisturbed but the controlled injury to the deeper layers triggers a healing response in the skin. The skin contracts and tightens immediately and, like other skin tightening procedures, Ultherapy simulates the growth of new collagen, but DEEPER than ever before! A smooth applicator (placed on the skin) projects an image onto the screen that allows us to see and plan where to direct the energy. We deliver energy to two depths during a single treatment. One pass penetrates 3 mm in depth which is as deep as you can go and still be in the dermis. Another pass over the treatment area penetrates 4.5 mm into the superficial muscular apo-neurotic system (the SMAS layer). The SMAS is the layer of muscles targeted during surgical fore-

head, face and neck lifts. An Ultherapy™ treatment is non-surgical and cannot deliver the results of a surgical facelift. For people who are not ready for a facelift or just don’t want to have surgery, however, it is a non-invasive alternative that requires just a single treatment. Ultherapy can also be used to further enhance results of a surgical facelift. Your body's response to this energy is to recondition tired skin by stimulating the growth of fresh, new collagen. The result is a tightening and gradual lifting—or shifting—of the skin back into a more youthful position and form-fitting shape. Unlike lasers, which penetrate the skin from the outside-in, the Ultherapy®procedure bypasses the surface of the skin, specifically targeting the deep, structural skin tissues where collagen lives. Using ultrasound technology, Ultherapy actually works from the inside-out to lift and tighten skin non-invasively.

Stepura responded that the consultant would need input from local representatives in order to provide guidance and undertake the initiatives laid out. “The consultant would provide some basic information about tourism from other areas… but it’s imperative that we have local representation,” Stepura said. “It speeds things up if we work with a consultant who can work us through the process.” Stepura admitted that time is of the essence in getting the Tourism Strategy underway; the city is aiming to have it completed by early October 2015, in time for consideration for the city’s five-year financial plan. “It’s going to be a tight time frame, but I believe it’s achievable,” Stepura said. Couns. Lynne Sinclair and Helen Fathers were appointed to the task force to represent the city, with Sinclair assuming the role of chair.

New Tourism White Rock board Tourism White Rock has a new board of directors, it was announced this week. Taking over as president and chairman of the board is Doug Hart, a longtime White Rock resident and former executive director of the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce. Ginny Harrison, owner of White Rock Travel, was named vice-chair and Morley Myren, a White Rock-based

real-estate agent with RE/MAX, was named secretary/treasurer of the board. The board was also joined by Bob Bezubiak, manager of the White Rock TD Bank, Coun. Grant Meyer, representing the City of White Rock, and Tourism White Rock executive director Betina Albornoz. Hart said that the board is currently in talks with two people they’re hoping will join the ranks in the next month.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Godfather musical a production you can’t refuse Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Alex Browne photo

The Godfather – a Musical Comedy takes place June 6.

The members of Pacific Showtime Men’s Chorus are donning shades and dark suits to make Semiahmoo Peninsula residents an offer they can’t refuse. Their latest sing-fest, The Godfather – a Musical Comedy, debuts Saturday, June 6 at 7:30 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240 (2643 128 St.) and Saturday, June 13 at 7:30 p.m. at Ocean Park Community Hall (1577 128 St.).

The Ocean Park-based group has packed the show with close harmony versions of classics that seem to beg for a mobsterish treatment – including such Sinatra favourites as My Way and New York, New York; Elvis’ Viva Las Vegas; Dean Martin’s Memories Are Made Of This, and Ray Charles’ Hit The Road, Jack. With musical direction and accompaniment by Jonathan Wiltse, The Godfather focuses on activities of the Corleone family – including partriarch Vito (John Spence), brother Pauley (Leigh Anderson) and volatile son Sonny (Don

Dickson) – as they ponder all-out war with the Soprano clan for domination of mob activities in New York in 1980. But you can look for a few unexpected twists and turns along the way in Ron Flaterud’s tongue-in-cheek script. The show seems a natural for a friendly group of singers that – while they take their harmony singing seriously – aren’t known for shyness when it comes to the hammier aspects of musical theatre. › see page 26

Club’s exhibit on display at Surrey Museum

Lego show travels back to the future Jennifer Lang

M Black Press

embers of the Vancouver Lego Club used one million plastic bricks to portray 20 millennia of Fraser Valley history in their latest imagination-filled extravaganza at the Surrey Museum. Six, minutely-detailed dioramas form Lego: A Fraser Valley Odyssey, which opened June 2 and is on display to Sept. 19, telling the story of the Fraser Valley’s prehistoric past, bustling present and post-dystopic future. The club was able to exercise plenty of creative license in bringing Surrey’s natural history to life, which is why woolly mammoths and penguins roam receding ice fields in Cloverdale, and a now-shuttered Clova Cinema (which dimmed the lights in 2014) is showing the latest Lego movie. “It’s not all historically accurate,” admits Greg Yellenik, curator of exhibitions at the Surrey Museum. “There’s a lot of imagination. The creative juices were flowing.” There’s serious stuff, too. Ripe red cranberry fields surround 1858 Fort Langley, and pre-contact shelters used by First Nations along the Fraser River are as historically accurate as the building medium will allow. The exhibit has been two years in the making. Consider the stats for the diorama depicting Sept. 3, 2083: eight builders worked 2,000 hours using 75,000 Lego pieces. All told, the exhibit consists of about one million pieces. “They think it’s more than that,” he says. “It’s thousands of hours. But a lot of it isn’t

specifically done for this exhibit.” Thirty members of the Vancouver Lego Club played a part in building the exhibit, sometimes re-purposing already-existing structures. A member who specializes in building accurate models of real buildings, for instance, built a Lego version of the Surrey Museum – complete with a mini-fig Mountie on guard – along with The Clova, and Surrey Memorial Hospital, which are part of the contemporary Surrey diorama. The exhibit required flights of fancy, too. Fifty years into the future, oceans rise over suburban rooftops, thanks to global warming. Denizens grow veggies on what’s left of the Port Mann bridge, Waterworld-style, even as Expo ‘86’s infamous McBarge floats sedately nearby. The genius is in the details. Be sure to look for the time travellers (or their wheels) hidden among the action: Mad Max’s Interceptor (“The last of the V-8s”), TV Time Lord Dr. Who’s blue telephone box, and the DeLorean Marty McFly borrowed from Doc Brown in Back to the Future. There’s a time traveller in every scene, says Yellenik. The Surrey Museum is located at 17710 56A Ave. It’s open Tuesdays to Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Saturdays, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is sponsored by the Friends of the Surrey Museum Society.

‘Very good script’ WORLD OCEANS DAY CELEBRATION Hosted in partnership with the Friends of Semiahmoo Bay Society

Sunday, June 7 | 11am-3pm Blackie Spit Park (3136 McBride Avenue) • Get up close with local marine creatures with Beach Heroes • Listen to seaside stories • Check out fun crafts and games • Listen to live music by local musicians The Wilds and Luke Wallace • Learn about the local environment and what you can do to help

› from page 25 According to chorus members Flaterud, Anderson and Denny O’Donovan, the notion of Godfather as a musical came about as a follow-up to last year’s spring production. “We had a very successful Western show called Deadwood, written by Chip Hand, one of the members,” Anderson said. “We were sitting around the legion after the show and somebody said, ‘next year we have to come up with something with a gangster theme’.” They ended up looking at Flaterud, who has become well-known for coming up with funny, workable scripts for shows in the past. “Being stupid and unable to say no, I was given a list of songs to choose from,” said Flaterud. “I did write up a bit of an outline, but the thing about writing

scripts is that they grow and change direction with where they’re going,” he added. “It’s a very good script – we’re going to have a lot of fun with it,” said O’Donovan. It’s not all joking with the 16-member group, which formed just over a decade ago. Indeed, with such challenging material as Frank Loesser’s Sit Down, You’re Rocking The Boat and Luck Be A Lady, as Anderson said, “the focus is on singing.” It includes a good blend of songs with full chorus, as well as solo and quartet numbers. While the June 6 legion show is nearly sold out, there are still tickets available for the June 13 show at Ocean Park Community Hall. Tickets ($15) are available from the legion, by calling at 604536-7983 or by visiting www.pacificshowtime. com

Longtime instructor celebrates 30th student recital June 13

Teaching more than music Alex Browne Arts Reporter

It starts – and ends – with music. But the journey is inevitably about so much more, according to Ocean Park violin teacher Erika Bennedik. For the former Vancouver Opera Orchestra member, this year’s student recital is her 30th. The event, June 13 at 3 p.m. at Mount Olive Lutheran Church, 2350 148 St., is sure to bring back a host of memories – both for Bennedik and for those who have encountered her as students, parents and grandparents. Bennedik gets to know many of her students at age four or five. One is at the other end of the scale, still gleaning benefit from learning at age 97. Some have a natural flair, which can result in a continuation of studies through the post-secondary years. Some simply end up with a better enjoyment of music. “I probably have hundreds of ex-students from this studio,” she told Peace Arch News. “Some were here for all their school years, and we became good friends.” Years later, she said, she’ll encounter many at stores around town. She’ll discover those who she first encountered as toddlers have families of their own – some even bringing her new students.

Erika Bennedik with one of this year’s younger quartets. For all, learning a discipline through music has been a key step in growing as a well-rounded member of the community. “That’s the most important part,” she acknowledged. “They learn a slice of life. But I’m so glad I can teach them, get them to play and enjoy music.” But Bennedik knows that studying technique alone can be deadly – which is why she takes pains to match students in quartets while preparing the annual recital. “I always wonder why so many people play piano,” she said. “When I was growing up, orchestra weekends and camps were where I met everybody – I was having fun!”

In addition to soloists and quartet ensembles at the recital, Bennedik will welcome guest musicians – and former students – Allene Chomyn and Jared Gill. “Allene is coming all the way from Ontario,” Bennedik said. “She works with the KitchenerWaterloo Symphony, but she’s also been taking a lot of courses with the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra.” Gill was a longtime student too, she said. “He’s been doing part-time violin teaching recently. He got married a few years ago and I was a guest of honour at the wedding.” For information, call 604-5385057.

BCHL team to celebrate its history this season

Eagles to mark 25th year Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

With their 25th anniversary season fast approaching, the Surrey Eagles are spending the offseason getting in touch with their roots. Currently, the BC Hockey League team’s dressing room – which was renovated and expanded a few years ago – is undergoing a new round of improvements which, when completed, will provide a link to the team’s past successes. A handful of framed jerseys – including one dug up from the archives from the team’s early ’90s heyday – already hang on the freshly-painted blue walls of the coach’s meeting and video room, and they’ll soon be joined by photos and names of the team’s most distinguished alums, including the players who’ve made it to the National Hockey League, such as Scott Gomez, Tyler Eckford and Andrew Hammond. Wall space in one hallway is also earmarked for a list of every former player who has earned an NCAA scholarship – a number that’s quickly approaching 200. And when the season begins in the fall, the team will roll out a handful of other initiatives aimed at celebrating their junior-hockey heritage. Throughout the season, past players are going to be invited back for various pre-game ceremonies, according to Kevin Simpson, the team’s vice-president and director of business operations, and other ideas are also percolating – such as retro jersey nights and the like. “The more things that we can do to relive and celebrate our history with our fans, we’re going to do. I think the fans will really enjoy it,” he said. As well, the team will wear 25th anniversary patches on their uniforms, and the new commemorative logo will also appear on the team’s pucks and other merchandise. i see page 30

A serious elbow injury has kept White Rock Tritons’ Tom Melenchuk, shown here during a game last season, off the field this season.

Tom Melenchuk’s baseball career hinges on expensive elbow surgery

Slugger eyes return to power Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

om Melenchuk is a power hitter. Hitting home runs – and hitting some of them distances the average player can only dream of – is what he does. But since late last season, his power has been limited due to an elbow injury. The 18-year-old first baseman has played just eight games for the White Rock Tritons this season, and has yet to play in the field – he’s served solely as a designated hitter. And though he can still swing the bat, his usual power isn’t there. In fact, there have been occasions where Melenchuk has struggled even with daily tasks. “There have been a few times where I’d come home from the ballpark and I’d go to lift up a glass of water, and my arm would start to shake and it would be really painful,” the Earl Marriott Secondary student explained. “Having

a sore arm is one thing, but this was so much worse. It’s been frustrating.” Melenchuk – who is in his last season in the BC Premier Baseball League and is eyeing scholarship offers south of the border – has had elbow problems since midway through last season. He still managed five home runs – and his batting-practice dingers still routinely landed in the parking lot at South Surrey Athletic Park – but as the season progressed, the pain got worse. “I just can’t get full extension on my swing, and if I throw the ball, I can make five, or 10, or 20 throws, but then after that it hurts too much, and then I can’t hit, either,” he said. “It’s a real struggle.” It’s been difficult to watch the slugger battle through the injury. “I know he wants to be out there contributing, and when he’s out there, he gives it all he’s got, but it’s been tough for him, and

being a guy who went through a lot of injuries in college, I know what it’s like,” said coach Russ Smithson, whose career at University of Kentucky was cut short due to a hip injury. Melenchuk’s frustrations may be coming to an end, however. After getting “second, third, and fourth” opinions from doctors, Melenchuk was diagnosed with an osteochondral defect in his right elbow. Essentially, the cartilage in his elbow has worn thin and weak – a result of years of playing baseball and training. There are two potential surgeries that can fix the problem – one covered by BC Medical, the other not, as it’s deemed elective – but only the latter surgery will leave his elbow strong enough to continue his baseball career. The first procedure would shave down the bone in Melenchuk’s elbow, and remove damaged cartilage, “so you can just go about your daily life pain-free.” i see page 30

Surgery ‘is the only option for me’

P U B L I C I N F O R M AT I O N M E E T I N G

West Clayton Neighbourhood Concept Plan The public is invited to attend an Open House on Thursday, June 18th, 2015. This Open House will provide residents, owners, and other interested parties with an opportunity to view and comment on the proposed Neighbourhood Concept Plan (NCP) and Stage 2 ‘Final Report’ for the West Clayton area. The purpose of this meeting is to show refinements of the Land Use Concept plan, transportation, design and development guidelines, an engineering servicing plan, and a financial strategy that will fund infrastructure, phasing of development, and community amenities for the West Clayton NCP. Members of the Citizen’s Advisory Committee (CAC), City staff, and project consultants will be on hand to answer questions during the evening. City Staff will give a brief presentation at approximately 6:30 pm. Feedback from the Open House will be considered and documented before a final Stage 2 Report and Neighbourhood Concept Plan is presented to Council.

The open house will be held on: Date: Thursday, June 18th, 2015 Time: 5:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. (Presentation at 6:30 p.m.) Place: Hazelgrove Elementary School, Gymnasium, 7057 191 Street, Surrey If you have any questions or comments, please phone Markus Kischnick, Planner, at 604-591-4485 or email westclayton@surrey.ca.

i from page 29 The second – which Melenchuk said has never been done in B.C. – would involve donor tissue being transplanted into the injured elbow, making it stronger. “It’s the only option for me if I want to continue playing,” he said. The trouble, of course, is that without medical coverage, the surgery will cost $12,000.

It’s why Melenchuk’s family has started a GoFundMe account to help cover the costs. In just a week, it’s raised more than $4,100 so far. “I’m overwhelmed, I really am. The response – from teammates, from family, friends, friends of friends – has just been awesome.” If all goes well, Melenchuk said he’s aiming for surgery

this month. Then, there’s two months of rest and rehab before he can return to his training and baseball activities. “There’s a few schools I’m looking at. I’ll have a lot of catching up to do after the surgery, but I’m very motivated.” To view Melenchuk’s GoFundMe page, visit www. gofundme.com/ve5nx4

History is worth celebrating: coach i from page 29 The Eagles aren’t the only organization on the Peninsula celebrating a milestone either. Semiahmoo Minor Hockey is set to mark its 50th anniversary this year, and Simpson said some joint projects are in the works, as well. Though the Surrey Eagles struggled last season, winning just nine of 58 games en route to a last-place finish in the BCHL, they have been among the league’s more stable franchises. They are the longest continuously operating franchise in the Lower Mainland – Langley has had two different teams (and four team names) since the ’90s; Chilliwack had a brief hiatus when the WHL was in town; and the Express have bounced between Burnaby and Coquitlam – and are among the entire league’s longesttenured clubs.

Contributed graphic

A logo marking the team’s 25th season will be used this year. Surrey head coach Blaine Neufeld said it’s important to celebrate such longevity – both when on the player-recruiting trail, and in the community. “This team, we’re right up there, historically, with the best teams in this league. Kids want to go to programs that have had success,”

he said. “In junior hockey, you have highs and lows, but this franchise has hit that high point – that pinnacle – more than a lot of teams.” Collecting and cataloguing the team’s history hasn’t been the easiest task for Neufeld and other team staff members – they’ve spent hours combing through online records, while going on a treasure hunt of sorts to track down old photos, jerseys and other memorabilia. “It was a lot of work, but we’ve done it now, so now we know that we’ve had 170 players who’ve moved on to NCAA Div. 1 scholarships. We had no idea what that number was before,” Neufeld said. “This group that’s here now, whether we’re here for 10 years or 50 years, we want to make sure that history is here.”

Tadpole-division baseball team undefeated

Yankees aim for perfection Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

With just a few weeks left on the schedule, the White RockSouth Surrey Yankees are closing in on a perfect season. The Tadpole-division baseball squad – made up of eight- and nine-year-olds – is currently undefeated, winning all their league contests, as well as tournaments in Langley and Newton. “The kids have been playing really well,” said Yankees coach Steve Kokotailo, who coaches the team alongside Randy McKinnon.

A handful of players on the roster – five or six, Kokotailo said – have played together for a few years, and are also classmates at Semiahmoo Trail Elementary, while the new players have blended in seamlessly as well. The reason for the team’s success, Kokotailo said, was his players’ work ethics. “All the kids just really want to get better. And they’ve started to really want to improve. They’re coming to the park now because they love it, not just because they’re nine years old and their parents want them to.”

When the season wraps up at the end of June, a few players will likely continue to play throughout the summer on an all-star team – the roster from which is made up of players from across the association – but Kokotailo said it’s not just the all-star calibre players who’ve led the team. “The improvement from everybody is just incredible,” he said. “We have one kid on our team, and for the last few seasons he couldn’t really hit the ball, and now he’s getting hits every game. “They’ve just come a long, long way. It’s fantastic.”
