Construction material, trampled foliage among intrusions found at Sunnyside Acres
Urban forest under attack from visitors Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Chunks of concrete, chesterfields and construction material are not what most people expect to find when they wander through Sunnyside Acres Urban Forest. But it’s exactly the kind of thing those who steward the protected, second-growth forest say they come across routinely – and with the hot, dry weather of late, they’re worried the activities the illegal dumping represents, such as campfires and smoking, could seriously damage the 130-hectare park. “Our objective is basically to discourage anyone from being in the forest in
an unsanctioned condition,” Ron Meadley, president of the Sunnyside Acres Heritage Society, said last week during a walk through the trails. Meadley walks through and cycles around the urban forest in South Surrey on an almost-daily basis, watching for signs that people have wandered – or cycled – off of the well-established paths. The meanderings damage the understory, disturb wildlife and increase the risk of fire, he said. While some intrusions are blatant, the extent of others can take a degree of tracking to reveal. Such was the case last week, after

Although the vehicle was gone when Meadley got there, he recognized the licence-plate numbers on a vehicle parked in the same location the following evening, and wandered into the forest to investigate further. Hearing voices and noticing signs of a new path – trampled salal (native shrub), and broken ferns and sticks – Meadley called the city’s hotline (604-501-5050) to report his suspicion that something was amiss. Soon after, he discovered a cache of construction material that had been carried to the base of a large, four-trunk big leaf maple tree located about 200 feet from the roadway. i see page 8

MP Russ Hiebert is thanking Conservative MPs and senators for making his controversial private member’s bill, C-377, law. The bill requiring public disclosure of union finances – which critics have called a transparent exercise in union-busting – passed third reading in the Senate and was given Royal Assent by the Governor General on Tuesday. Hiebert, who has not responded to Peace Arch News’ requests for an interview, issued a news release Tuesday afternoon. “I am very pleased to see my bill pass,” he said in the release. “This is certainly a great personal achievement and an important step for Canada. I am grateful to all my Conservative colleagues, MPs and senators, who have stood with me to make this bill law.” i see page 8

Mixed views expressed at White Rock public information meeting on waste management
Residents brace for impending change Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
White Rock single-family home residents saw some of the options the city is exploring for the future of garbage pickup at a public information meeting this week. Around 60 people attended the open house Tuesday evening at White Rock Community Centre, which included information ranging from recycling and composting tips to details about Metro Vancouver’s organics ban and a ‘test your knowledge’ quiz to see how much residents knew about residential solid waste. White Rock’s manager of operations and engineering Greg St. Louis was kept busy answering questions from residents, in large part about whether the city would keep pickup services in-house, or choose to contract them out to a private company. In January, the city announced it would be “privatizing” waste pickup for multifamily residences and businesses effective July 1 – which resulted in a barrage of criticism – and that it would issue a request for proposals for contracting out single-family collection. Information on display at this week’s meeting highlighted that proposals from the private sector are “exploratory,” a sentiment echoed by St. Louis who said reviewing the city’s services is “good business practice.” Some in attendance Tuesday said they did not support the city privatizing garbage pickup; one resident, who gave her name only as Megan, told St. Louis she would be in favour of paying higher taxes to keep the service within the city. “We should be keeping our services in-house,” she said, noting that the city already has skilled workers who are more likely to put money back into the local economy than outside workers. “Our community becomes poorer when we decide to opt for the bottom line and save some money in the short term.” Representatives from the city workers’ union were also on hand, rallying to keep waste pickup services local. “Our guys do a top-notch service, and I hope people realize that,” CUPE 402-01 president Mike Guraliuk said. “I think a lot of them do, a lot of people aren’t happy about this.” One group of East Beach residents at the meeting were gathering support for garbage to be kept

out of the city’s works yard on Keil Street, suggesting that current practices – which include using the yard as a transfer station before waste is transported out of the city – are creating health and environmental hazards for residents in the area. Diane Bradley told Peace Arch News she has collected more then 60 signatures from residents in her neighbourhood who are unhappy
with the city’s use of the operations yard, noting that noise, vermin, mould, bacteria and strong odours – from the waste and diesel trucks – are among the concerns they are facing. “They’re dumping rotting garbage, rotting kitchen waste in a residential neighbourhood,” Bradley said. “There are health issues. We have to shut our windows because of the
diesel, and the noise is outrageous.” Bradley said the city’s current system is “redundant,” pointing out that city trucks bring waste collected curbside to the operations yard, where it is dumped into bins, to later be picked up by private waste haulers and taken out of the city. “They’re just wasting time and money, the environment and our health,” she said. “It just doesn’t make sense, it should be put on the curb and taken out, and I don’t care who does it. Just get it out of here.” St. Louis said he is well aware of the East Beach residents’ concerns and communicates with them “on a regular basis” about ways to mitigate their concerns. “We try to be good neighbours,” St. Louis said. “But it is our operations yard, even if you move the garbage away, you’re still going to have our crew there, we’re still going to have trucks and plows in the winter. There’s no getting rid of that.”
Tuesday’s meeting came on the eve of big changes to garbage service around White Rock. As of Wednesday, single-family homeowners pay an annual user fee ($175 for the remainder of 2015; $350 for 2016), which replaces an amount paid in the general-tax levy. Wednesday was also the first day that multifamily units and businesses became responsible for their own solid-waste pickup. The decision, made at an in-camera council meeting in December, sparked a backlash from multifamily residents, who rallied at city hall in March calling for the city to reverse its decision. Despite the negative response, the city voted in April to stay the course and cease multifamily pickup as a city responsibility. Options for the future of single-family solid-waste pickup are expected to be brought to council in the fall, St. Louis said.

argued more money could be found if cities restrained their own spending and tax growth. He successfully framed the campaign as a vote on TransLink, which he accused of mismanagement and which had come off major SkyTrain breakdowns and a failure to fully launch its Compass card payment system on time. Mayors never wanted the referendum and said something as crucial as transit expansion should not go to a public vote. They had previously wrung a pledge from former premier Gordon Campbell to allow a new transit revenue source. But Premier Christy Clark backtracked from his stance and promised in the 2013 provincial election a new tax source for TransLink would only be allowed if it was approved by local voters. Mayors agreed last year to the vote and chose a hike in the provincial sales tax from 7.0 to 7.5 per cent, rather than other options, such as a vehicle levy. With the sales tax rejected, mayors could still raise TransLink property taxes, but they are loathe to do so. That option has been repeatedly suggested by the premier. If mayors hold firm to the need for a new source, it’s unclear how that can happen without a new referendum the premier has said can’t be held before the next municipal elections in 2018.

He did this with several less expensive objects for my brother and sister. I enjoyed looking at the Faberge at his home in anticipation of having the proceeds of it for my early retirement. My dad died leaving a very simple will dividing his estate equally between the three of us. None of the objects including the Faberge was mentioned. My siblings say that the Faberge comes out of my equal share, and I say it is in addition to my share. Who is right?

St. Louis noted that a draft plan for the remaining hillside work has yet to be finalized, but will include the removal of some additional trees and brush to get to the retaining walls, “because they’re in a poor state and affecting the slope.” Regarding an amendment to add a $1-million upgrade to Memorial Park/Spirit Square, Fathers and Coun. David Chesney were the only council members to oppose the expense. Fathers said she couldn’t vote on something that council hasn’t even discussed. “Council hasn’t even approved it in principle,” she said. Told the situation was much like that with the Johnston Road improvement program – where funds were being allocated without a firm design in hand – Fathers disputed the comparison. “The biggest difference is we’ve had conversations about the Johnston Road (project). I have no knowledge of the Spirit Square. That’s the problem.” Chesney said he “doesn’t see the value” of an upgrade to Memorial Park, saying he would prefer to see Bayview Park in West Beach expanded. Baldwin said the issue is not about approving the project itself. “At this stage of the game, that project is approved. There’s no point in going back and talking about it,” he said.

A failure of government
M
etro Vancouver residents can kiss another $5.8 million goodbye. That money – our money, which might conceivably have been better-used for transit improvements somewhere in the region – was what Metro Vancouver mayors spent to persuade us to say ‘yes’ in the recent transit plebiscite. It was supposed to persuade us to approve a 0.5 per cent sales tax to fund transit and transportation expansion in the region. Instead, as was announced Thursday, those who voted had the temerity to say ‘no’, by a whopping 60 per cent. Even in White Rock, it was a 60-40 split leaning to the ‘no’ side, while in Surrey, residents voted almost two-to-one against the tax hike. What voters were saying, of course, a little more than simply ‘no’. They were saying was that they’d sooner wither and die in terminal gridlock than fork over another $7.5 billion to TransLink, as it now stands. It is an unmissable thumbs-down to an organization that many believe – rightly or wrongly – is bloated, overpaid, mismanaged, inefficient and urgently in need of reform. Indeed, it will be surprising if TransLink, haunted by the spectres of SkyTrain breakdowns and inability to deliver the Compass card pay system on time, escapes this current roasting unscathed. But the failure does not simply belong to TransLink or the mayors’ ‘yes’ campaign. The biggest fail for this pointless and wasteful exercise – the plebiscite is not even binding on government, it should be noted – belongs to the BC Liberal government. The mayors had long resisted the notion of a referendum, arguing that transit expansion was too crucial to be dependent on such a vote, and former premier Gordon Campbell had committed to allowing a new revenue source for transit. All that was scuttled by a 2013 election promise by Premier Christy Clark that a new source of TransLink funding would be allowed only if approved by regional voters. It was this blithe promise that cornered the mayors into supporting the plebiscite and campaigning for the ‘yes’ vote. We don’t elect government to simply provide photo-ops and feel-good moments for politicians. We don’t elect governments to side-step responsibilities. We elect governments to govern, not to hit the ball back into our court in the face of potentially unpopular decisions. Look where you will to apportion blame for the current fiasco – it is primarily a failure of government.

Not easy to make a stand Editor: Re: The multi-faceted value of trees, June 24 column. I just read columnist Anne Murray’s article on the importance of trees, and it’s a perfect summary of the benefits of forests and the problems faced by developers under pressure to minimize lot size and maximize house square footage. Many of us here in South Surrey are saddened to see beautiful forests clear cut for high-density housing that almost completely eliminates landscaping. The few people I know who find ways of speaking out feel like we’re talking into a vacuum. I started a blog last year (www. savesunnysidetrees.wordpress. com), and one of my friends started one this year (www. growingupgrandview.wordpress. com) and others have started an entire neighbourhood organization (www.grandviewstewardship.org) that’s helping residents speak out about rezoning practices. It’s still hard for residents to feel that our views are heard, so it’s heartening to see a well-written article in Peace Arch News that supports our opinions and gives us encouragement to keep trying. Thank you for your beautiful article, and I hope everyone involved in the urbanization of South Surrey can realize the benefits of city forests while the trees still stand. Alisa P. Ramakrishnan, Surrey
Each and every council member who sat there June 22 and allowed this treatment of a citizen of White Rock to continue without calling Mayor Wayne Baldwin and Coun. Lynne Sinclair on it is guilty of enabling this sad and sorry treatment of a citizen who asks questions. Is it any wonder you have the problems with staff morale and the culture at city hall that you do? Your behaviour models to all how they should treat citizens. You send a very clear message to all of the employees of the city and, quite frankly, your staff is much better than that and do not want to treat people that way. Nor do they want to work in an environment where that kind of disrespect to citizens is modelled by the leaders and is at the heart of the culture. Baldwin and Sinclair owe Woods a sincere public apology at the next council meeting. Ross Buchanan, White Rock

F.A. Van-Lane shows his IV bruises. EKG showed I had a very low pulse rate, so I would have to go to emergency. I left the hospital, as I knew what kind of treatment I would be getting, as I had been in “that” place before. I got home and had a message on my answering machine from my doctor’s office saying they wanted me to go back to the hospital. I arrived around 5 p.m., was admitted and five times they tried to put an IV in me. Never did they take a warm towel or blanket and put it on my arms or hands to get the vein to swell up, so they would be able to find it easier. Never did they apply pressure so there would be little or no bruising on my arms or hands when they took the needle out. Five times they tried to take three vials of blood. They managed to get
Editor: I am a longtime supporter and contributor to our hospital through the Peace Arch Hospital & Community Health Foundation. It is with interest I perused the latest financial statements (2014) on the PAH foundation website and I have a few questions: Why does it take 13 staff members to collect $2.5 million in donations at a cost of $1.319 million for wages and administration? Most of the gross revenue is unrealized as gains on securities and passive interest income. The majority of the real work done is for fundraising and disbursements, and the 2014-15 disbursements were only $713,000. It seems to me that the PAH foundation is a make-work project and contributors are not getting the full story. Lynne Spence, Surrey
Public show of disrespect Open letter to White Rock mayor and council. When you laugh at Margaret Woods when she is asking questions of council about why much of the 50 per cent premium we pay on taxes in White Rock goes into the $44 million slush fund, you are laughing at all of the citizens of White Rock who have exactly the same question. When you snicker at Woods when she is asking why the city is sitting on $44 million of taxpayers’ money in reserves and continuing to raise taxes, you are snickering at the citizens of White Rock. When you mock Woods when she is asking why you falsely call reserves “mandatory” – when in fact they are clearly “discretionary” – you are mocking the citizens of White Rock. When you disrespect Woods, you disrespect the citizens of White Rock, who are in fact your employers. Is it any wonder that many of the citizens of White Rock feel the way they do about addressing council? My sense is that your behaviour produces exactly the results you are looking to achieve. The behaviour of mayor and council strangles community engagement and blocks the citizens of White Rock from participating in the kind of public process that the Community Charter is intended to achieve.

Quiet moments on Marine Drive during the summer months are few and far between, writes Jim Saunders.
Spirit of the Old West is needed Editor: Perhaps White Rock’s motto, “Our city by the sea,” should be amended to something along the lines of “Our city by the sea welcomes speeding and excessively noisy cars and motorcycles.” Of course, this welcome mat would need the caveat that the invitation only extends 5:30 a.m. to 2 a.m. the following day and is confined to Marine Drive, as the good residents do need some time to sleep. Seriously, the speeding and noise is getting completely out of hand. It starts at about 5 a.m. with cars and motorcycles eastbound along Marine Drive apparently in a hurry to get to work. The majority are travelling in excess of 50 mph and, God forbid, if one is going too slow, a revved-up, backfiring motorcycle will pass with the rider paying no attention to noise and safety factors. After the morning ‘rush’ hour, things are calmer – with the exception of heavy trucks driving at what seems maximum speed to get to and from work sites. It is not that long ago one of our seniors was killed on Marine Drive, apparently by a truck. During the afternoon, the bikes appear for the ‘strut my stuff ’ ride, speeding with noisy straight pipes and no regard for anyone else. Invariably, these bikes can be seen
parked at or near pubs and other licensed premises. After the supper hour, the fun really starts. The motorcycles travel in packs and there seems to be a competition who can make the most noise. Souped-up cars with the same ‘look at me’ attitude love to plague our streets – the fumes thrown in at no extra charge to enhance one’s walk or meal on a patio. After an evening of festivities, these model citizens head home to wherever at greater speeds and louder noise than when they entered town. Finally, some peace after 2 a.m. It would be unfair to point fingers at all drivers. Most obey the speed limit and do not cause excessive noise. To increase traffic calming and curb those who want to ‘show-off ’ their vicariously obtained power, I would recommend our authorities enforce the municipal noise bylaw and the provisions of the provincial Motor Vehicle Act. Council should also consider rumble strips. If all else fails, perhaps our city fathers should consider having the sheriff meet these people at our city limits and have them check their cars, trucks and bikes before coming into town. Just like the Old West. Whatever, it must impressed on these types that they are not welcome in “our city by the sea”. Jim Saunders, White Rock

Park visitors urged to report findings
Hiebert
i from page 1 One board was affixed to the tree with two long, large screws; several others – two-by-fours, two-by-sixes, plywood and more – lay atop the understory. Meadley figures the material was dumped about a week prior, for use in some form of construction within the forest. As with all other things illegally placed in Sunnyside Acres, “we took it out right away,” he said. Meadley said the immediate action – which has been needed “a fair amount” in the past four years – is hoped to raise awareness of the fact that there are many eyes keeping tabs on the forest, and prompt those considering leaving their own impression to think twice. “That message is extremely important,” he said. He encouraged others who enjoy the forest to do their part to curb problems by reporting suspicious behaviours and findings. “That would be a big help,” he said. “If they see the same thing several times and there’s no neighbours in the immediate area, that’s a clue.” Reporting fire hazards is something else that must be done without delay, he said, pointing to the 604-501-5050 hotline that’s on signage throughout the park.
i from page 1 Hiebert’s release noted the South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP was the first selected to introduce a bill for private member’s business at the beginning of this Parliament, in 2011, and that his bill “is literally the last piece of legislation to be passed.” “Four years is a long time to fight for a bill, but C-377 will have a substantial impact on the lives of millions of union members who will, for the first time, see where their hard-earned dues are going.” Hiebert says the law, which comes into effect at the end of 2015, will allow “union members and the general public to evaluate the effectiveness of unions: institutions which spend about $5 billion annually.” Passage in the Senate followed Friday’s surprise overruling of the Senate speaker, Conservative Leo Housakos, by the Conservative majority, to force a vote on the bill. The bill had been challenged as “unconstitutional” by constitutional experts and provinces, which said it was an intrusion into provincial jurisdiction. Seven provinces – Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI and Alberta – had asked the Senate not to pass the bill.

Lumber is found just off 144 Street in the protected woods of Sunnyside Acres. Smoking materials pose a particular risk, especially during the current heat wave, and a fire would start easily, spread quickly and “wipe the whole thing out,” Meadley said. It could also threaten nearby homes, many of which have cedar-shingle roofing. Meadley acknowledged that many of the deleterious activities in the forest are not recognized by those responsible for them as a problem.
At the same time, the future of the forest is in their hands as much as it is in those of the stewards. “It’s the people that make or break what’s going to happen here,” Meadley said. For more information on the forest, or to learn more about getting involved as an observer – or on the board; the society is also looking for a treasurer – visit sunnysideacres.ca

These have been pursued since a Transport Canada inspection of crossings, following the death of a jogger two years ago, called for major improvements. There are now much-improved crossings at Oxford and Anderson streets. Despite the improvements, people continue to trespass on the tracks, always a foolish thing to do. The city has already spent $500,000 on these two crossings and has ambitious plans to spend about another $2 million more to improve crossings in the East Beach area and at the pier. During this time of year, White Rock is often jammed with people. However, there is no need to ever walk on the tracks or stray from the existing crossings. While trains that go through the area do not travel at high speeds, they are unable to stop if there is someone on the tracks. There is a wonderful walkway along the length of the beach, and now there are improved crossings to make it even easier to access. Both sets of infrastructure improvements will allow more people to get out and enjoy the fresh air and outdoors. Plaudits are due to the various levels of government who have made them happen.

Thousands of people flocked to White Rock’s waterfront and Surrey’s Millennium Park Wednesday, to take in celebrations marking Canada’s 148th birthday. Live music, vendors and fireworks were among highlights of the festivities. Police in both cities say attendees were largely wellbehaved, with intoxication among youth the biggest concern of the day.

North Surrey Come Share location to open in fall
Seniors’ support expanding Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
Elderly residents and caregivers in North Surrey will have easier access to a host of support programs, when Seniors Come Share Society opens a new location later this year. The expansion, announced at the society’s annual general meeting earlier this month, will see a new site in the Guildford area for its popular day program, which will accommodate 21 seniors, according to Come Share’s executive director Sue McIntosh. Not only will the new location mean less travel time for many Surrey seniors, McIntosh said it will help to alleviate the wait lists for the two current locations in South Surrey and Newton. “For individuals in the north, they have to come down with HandyDart or have family drive them to one of the other programs,” McIntosh said. “This means more people will be able to get in the door and benefit
from our programs.” Come Share’s day program offers seniors therapeutic and recreational activities, as well as meals, health monitoring and the benefit of socializing with other seniors. The society – now in its 38th year of
operation – also provides information and referral services, a friendly visitor and community meals program, telephone tree volunteers to check up on elderly residents and a volunteer lawyer clinic. McIntosh noted that over the past fiscal year, Come Share has
connected with more than 51,000 seniors and their families in White Rock and Surrey. The new North Surrey location is expected to open Oct. 1, and is currently undergoing renovations to meet the program’s needs, McIntosh said.
A dozen Surrey and Delta students have been selected to attend science, technology, engineering and math programs in universities across Canada for the month of July. Local secondary students chosen among 658 for this year’s SHAD program included Ayush Bansal and Dania He from Semiahmoo; Kinsey Church from Earl Marriott; Rachel Woo from Elgin Park; Rianna Chu, Michelle Lu and Ian Leighton from Southridge School; Ken Yu from Seaquam; Fleetwood Park student Jasmine Zhang; Fraser Heights Secondary students Jin Lee and Andrew Gamble; and Jennifer Yi from Pacific Academy. SHAD is a registered Canadian charity that aims to allow exceptional high school students to recognize their capabilities and envision themselves as tomorrow’s leaders. “Centred on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM ), SHAD empowers exceptional youth to make the world a better place,”
said SHAD president Barry Bisson in a news release. “SHAD is where Canada’s top youth achievers are exposed to great ideas, inspired to look at things differently, challenged to reach for the highest levels of excellence and encouraged to embrace their Uncommon Purpose – the pursuit of their own potential to change the world.” The participants will spend a month living in residence at one of 12 host Canadian universities, such as McMaster, Queen’s and Laval. Through lectures, workshops and team-building activities run by university faculty and industry leaders, they will be exposed to things they likely haven’t experienced in high school. “SHAD exposes bright youth to advanced topics and takes them out of their comfort zones,” said Bisson. Acceptance into the program is highly competitive and applicants are selected based on grades, community focus and their diverse backgrounds. For more information, check www.shad.ca

Beach House Theatre presents family-friendly production Aug. 12-15
Munsch mania offers a good time for all ages Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Beach House Theatre’s Munsch Upon A Time.
Don’t tell adults that Munsch Upon A Time is just for kids. Beach House Theatre’s second production – providing daytime diversion at the Blackie Spit tent auditorium Aug. 12-15, during the run of Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest – seems entirely too much of a good time to be confined to just one age group. And, in truth, many adults end up being in the audience of Beach House’s familyfriendly offerings like Munsch Upon A
Time, as parents, grandparents and just for the fun of it. “It’s really for the kid in all of us, from three to 93,” said director Courtney Shields. “It’s something that you can enjoy at any age – it resounds with us even after we grow up.” Beach House Theatre has made a tradition of featuring stage adaptations of stories by famed children’s author Robert Munsch since it began four years ago. Shields, an Elgin Park Secondary grad and South Surrey resident – and keen young working actor on the Vancouver
scene after four years in the UBC theatre program – was an animated acting presence in Beach House’s Munsch shows for the last two years. Offered the opportunity to direct this year’s show by Beach House founders Candace Radcliffe and Rick Harmon, Shields said she leaped at the chance. “It’s a very exciting change for me,” said Shields. “I wanted to stay close to the company and the community, and this is 20 minutes walking distance from where i see page 16

Life, love and hope on display in White Rock Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Gina Kling’s The Yellow Bucket, part of her Being Human exhibit.
The second show in White Rock’s Art On Display summer series is the antithesis of Joyce Ozier’s current abstract exhibit, Marked Panels. Panels. Panels. Being Human by Langley artist Gina Kling (White Rock Community Centre Gallery, 15154 Russell, July 23-Aug. 28) consists, as the title suggests, of paintings of people – as opposed to the more implied forms of Ozier’s improvisational canvases. But there’s a lot more to Kling’s work than that. Her large, imposing canvases convey images of life, love and hope in a way that harks back to the work of old-world masters.
Whether painting in watercolour, or drawing free-hand on cotton stretched canvas, and investing her painting with richness and detail through her skill with oils, the Emily Carr-trained, Federation of Canadian Artists member is clearly traveling the same paths as the masters. And like them, she doesn’t shy away from material that encompasses the spiritual as part of the human experience. Drawing inspiration from lesserknown biblical verses, she seeks to depict and evoke the human spirit and all our flaws – and perfections. In her artist’s statement and promotional material Kling says she also seeks to capture a universality

Bard returns to Valley in July Monique Tamminga Black Press
Pull up a lawn chair, spread a blanket out on the grass and plan to take in some amazing theatre this summer. Bard in the Valley returns to its comedy roots, after a tragic turn last summer, with Julius Caesar. Until early August, Langley’s outdoor Shakespeare theatre company presents Love’s Labour’s Lost, a look at the ridiculousness of love. Bard in the Valley’s 60-plus cast and crew will be on three outdoor stages this summer, offering 16 performances between July 1 and Aug. 2. This is Bard in the Valley’s sixth season. The play is produced by BIV president, Diane Gendron, while Mandy Dyck is making her directorial debut. “The play features original, highenergy dances by choreographer and dance instructor Kyra Esau, and two original songs by multi-talented Bard in the Valley cast member and musical director Lauren Trotzuk,” said Gendron. The audience is invited to come early and bring the whole family. Chairs will also be available at all venues. Theatre snacks
will be sold on site. Admission is free tonight (Friday) in Fort Langley, and from July 23 on the Spirit Square Stage in Douglas Park in downtown Langley. The other performances are at Township 7’s Bard in the Vines July 10-18, where tickets are $20. Donations will be welcome at all performances, to help cover production costs. “Bard in the Valley is able to continue to offer this exciting, summer theatre to our audiences admission-free because of generous support from the community. In addition, we have a terrific group of 60 talented actors, creative artists and dedicated people on the crew and production team who volunteer their time and energy for the season,” said Gendron. “This is our way of giving something back to the community.” Performance dates: • July 3 at 7 p.m. on the lawn in front of Fort Langley’s historic community hall. • July 10, 11, 12, 17 and 18, at the Township 7 Winery in South Langley. Tickets can be reserved online at township7.com • July 23, 24, 25, 26, 30, 31 and Aug. 1 and 2, on the outdoor Spirit Square Stage.

White Rock squad sweeps North Delta in double-header Saturday
Tritons inch closer to playoff spot after wins Rick Kupchuk Black Press
A pair of solid outings from their pitcher lifted the White Rock Tritons to a sweep of the North Delta Blue Jays in a B.C. Premier Baseball League double-header Saturday at Mackie Park. The visiting Tritons didn’t allow the Blue Jays a run while posting victories of 2-0 and 5-0, improving their won-loss record to 11-22. Winners of eight of their past 12 games, the Tritons are now just one-and-a-half games back of the Coquitlam Reds in a
four-team race for the final playoff position. Patrick van den Brink threw a completegame shutout for the first win Saturday, limiting the Blue Jays to just four hits and four walks while striking out seven batters. The game remained scoreless until the sixth inning, when the Tritons took the lead. Aaron Wiegert hit a lead-off single, then stole second base. He moved to third on an infield out, then scored on a sacrifice fly to right field by Thomas Vincent. White Rock added to their lead in the seventh. Jansen Crossley got on base on a
Blue Jays fielding error, and advanced to third base on a second miscue. He scored on a Nick Kutilin sacrifice to centre field. White Rock outhit the Blue Jays 12-2 in the second game, but nursed a 1-0 into the late innings. Danny Hollins scored the winning run in the top of the first inning, hitting a single to get on base, then scoring on a base hit by Jason Hill. Three runs on four hits in the sixth inning blew the game open. The Tritons added another three runs on four more hits in the seventh.

SUMMER HOURS: Mon-Fri 9am to 9pm Sat-Sun 9am to 6pm
Hill finished the game with three hits, with Hollins and Vincent adding two each. Vincent drove in a pair of runs. Barry Caine was the winning pitcher, giving up the two hits and four walks in six innings pitched. He had eight strikeouts. White Rock was to host the 12-21 Abbotsford Cardinals yesterday (Tuesday) at South Surrey Athletic Park. The Tritons will be in Victoria for four games this weekend, playing twice against the 12-21 Mariners Saturday, then playing the 25-12 Eagles in a double-header on Sunday.

athletic board member, a zone co-ordinator and a provincial commissioner. “Through all of that, she has remained a tireless advocate for athletics and the importance of sport within our schools,” Fleetwood Park athletic director Mike Sweeney and principal Cory McLaughlin wrote in their nomination letter. Welcoming all students who wished to try athletics, Champagne has coached more than 2,500 athletes over the years. Her track-and-field teams haver won more than 15 Surrey district championships since Fleetwood Park opened in 1993. “This is testimony both to her coaching ability as well as her capacity to motivate athletes to do things they didn’t think were possible,” wrote Sweeney and McLaughlin. Champagne is the current B.C. high school provincial cross country commissioner. Past accomplishments include lowering entry fees from $40 to $15 per student, introducing a junior championship which is recognized by BC School Sports, and creating a separate governing body for cross country. Over the years, athletics has grown in the district, which is the largest in the province. “Surrey is well taken care of,” said Champagne, who was “totally surprised” but the award. “We get a lot of support and there are a lot of school districts that do not.” – Rick Kupchuk

Plenty of local representation at regional championships
Rugby squads score silver Dozens of young rugby players from the Semiahmoo Peninsula stormed the B.C. provincial regional championships last weekend, taking many of their competitors by surprise according to one coach. The two-weekend tournament – which wraps up this coming weekend with U18 boys and U18 girls action – set the stage for the unveiling of a brand new region, Vancouver South, formerly Fraser Valley West. Players from Earl Marriott, Semiahmoo, Southridge and Elgin Park made up the Vancouver South U14, U15 and U16 boys squad and the U16 girls team. Both U16 squads took home silver medals – as well as numerous invites for players to attend provincial camp later this month – results that coach Andy Blackburn described as “outstanding.” The new Vancouver South region is smaller than its Fraser Valley West predecessor, Blackburn said, noting that, as a result, representation from local high schools is now greater. “What it means for us, because we created a smaller region, we are able to get more of our local athletes on those teams,” Blackburn said. “We were able to engage probably 125 local players.”
