Severe burns after plane crash-lands on Highway 97
Surrey pilot injured in Osoyoos crash Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

A Surrey pilot is in hospital after crashing on Highway 97 Tuesday.
A Surrey man is in hospital with extensive burns following a single-engine plane crash in Osoyoos Tuesday. The 46-year-old pilot – whose identity had not been officially released as of Peace Arch News’ press deadline Thursday – was the sole occupant of a small Beechcraft, single-engine plane that crashed on Highway 97 just before 5 p.m. July 7. According to RCMP, the pilot – on route from Oliver to Boundary Bay – attempted an emergency landing
after the plane lost power, catching the wing on the rear of a semi-trailer that was travelling northbound on the highway. The plane hit the ground, slid into a telephone pole and burst into flames. Witnesses told RCMP the pilot was able to escape the wreckage, but suffered severe burns to the majority of his body. He was airlifted to Vancouver General Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition as of Thursday morning. The crash is now being investigated by the Transportation Safety Board.
Challenges cited
Teacher guilty of misconduct Sheila Reynolds Black Press
A Surrey kindergarten teacher has been found guilty of professional misconduct by the B.C. Teacher Regulation Branch for yelling so loudly at her students it could be heard outside the classroom, and for criticizing kids’ work, sometimes crumpling it and throwing it away. Cheryl Ann Gosse was a teacher at Hjorth Road Elementary during the 2011-2012 school year – the period during which it was alleged she engaged in professional misconduct and/or conduct unbecoming a teacher. Though many of the allegations were unsubstantiated, a three-person BCTRB panel found after a hearing last fall that Gosse also inappropriately reprimanded a child for urinating in the playground and made belittling and disrespectful comments to children. The decision was issued in late May but was just posted on the teacher regulation website last week. Gosse denied she ever made belittling or disrespectful comments to her students, and though her principal and some colleagues testified they heard her yell, she called the allegations “generalized and impressionistic.” She admitted she was a strict teacher with high expectations, but, according i see page 8

Softball teams donate equipment after truck theft
Stolen ball gear brings out sportsmanship Rick Kupchuk Black Press
Before they even played their first game at the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship, the Edmonds Starz of Washington suffered a huge loss. Just 12 hours after checking into their hotel, and four hours before their first game, the truck of head coach Adrian Manuel was stolen from the hotel parking lot. And in the truck was all the team gear. “We arrived Sunday night at 11 p.m., it got stolen Monday morning at 11:15 a.m.,”
said Manuel. “Right in front of the Surrey Ramada. I watched it drive away. As I was walking in the lobby, I saw it turning onto Highway 10.” The Starz were missing their equipment for Monday’s exhibition game against the Lloydminster Rebels at Cloverdale Athletic Park. “I’m the head coach, so I carry all the gear. I’m talking six buckets of softballs and nets which we hit into,” said Manuel. “And even a barbecue, because I cook for the team when we’re at tournaments like this.” The situation improved over the next 48
hours. Manuel used his contacts to borrow equipment for games on Tuesday and Wednesday. Tournament organizers also stepped forward, as did a fan at Softball City. “I also coach at Edmonds Community College, and we sometimes play up here against Douglas College. So I called their coach and asked if they could help out,” he said. “Before our game Tuesday, (Douglas College coach Michelle Peterson) showed up with some gear to help us out. The tournament committee loaned us a dozen softballs, and one guy (Don Thompson) gave us a set of catcher’s gear for
the team. He told us to keep it.” Things got even better Wednesday morning. An RCMP officer showed up and said the truck had been found – and it appeared all the equipment was still inside. “He came, got my key, and said he was going directly to the truck,” said Manuel. “But I’m not going to say yes I have it until I put my hands on it. “I’ve travelled up and down the I-5 corridor to play in California and through Oregon, and into Colorado. This has never happened to me.”
Driver airlifted Speed is being investigated as a factor in a crash on Highway 99 in South Surrey Tuesday afternoon that resulted in a man being airlifted to hospital with serious injuries. Witnesses reported seeing a Ford Escape travelling northbound at a high rate of speed around 3 p.m. July 7, before it left the roadway between 32 Avenue and King George Boulevard, according to RCMP Traffic Services. When first responders arrived on scene, the sole occupant – a 62-year-old Surrey resident, according to police – was trapped inside the “mangled” vehicle, which had gone down a steep embankment. The highway’s northbound lanes were closed to traffic at 16 Avenue for a short time while an air ambulance landed to transport the driver to hospital. RCMP described his injuries as serious, however the extent was not immediately known.

$167 penalty ‘not enough’, government hears
Public demands higher fines for distracted driving Tom Fletcher Black Press
Halfway through a consultation on distracted driving policy, the vast majority of B.C. residents who have responded want fines increased. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton says thousands of people have participated on the B.C. government’s consultation website, and more than 90 per cent want stronger action to
stop people talking or texting on their phones while they’re behind the wheel. The issue now is how high the fines should go. “British Columbians are also telling us they want to see tougher escalating penalties for repeat offenders, because right now some people see the $167 ticket as the cost of doing business,” Anton said Tuesday. “We need to stop that.”
B.C.’s fine is the second lowest in Canada, and a three-point insurance penalty was added last fall. Anton said she doesn’t intend to follow Ontario’s lead and put the fine up to $1,000 for repeat offenders, but an increase will be coming within a year. Comments on the website www. gov.bc.ca/distracteddriving continue to debate the merits of seizing
cellphones from drivers, but Anton reiterated that option is not being considered. Suspending licences or impounding vehicles of repeat offenders is on the table, however. Saskatchewan impounds the vehicle for a week if the driver gets two distracted driving tickets less than a year apart. The consultation continues until July 16. Participants are asked to
reply to nine questions. The crowd-sourcing exercise has its weaknesses. Only five per cent of respondents have come from the B.C. Interior, and Anton said younger people are also under-represented. The province attributes 88 deaths to distracted driving last year, second to speeding and ahead of impaired driving.

French program offered Sheila Reynolds Black Press
A new early-French-immersion program will start at Cougar Creek Elementary in the fall, and trustees hope to establish another Punjabi language program in Surrey in the coming school year. The addition of the French program is, in part, in response to long waiting lists for parents wishing to enrol their children in French-immersion in kindergarten. The Cougar Creek program, located at 12236 70A Ave., will mean seven of Surrey’s 101 elementary schools now offer early French immersion. Parents with kids on existing wait lists will be contacted first for possible registration. The program addition is one of several recommendations made
in a district staff report recently endorsed by Surrey Board of Education trustees. The Long Range Facilities and Education Plan, available to view at http:// bit.ly/1dmdel3, contains more than 40 wide-ranging proposals regarding the district’s priorities. Extensive public consultations earlier this year showed a public desire to expand so-called “choice” program expansion, particularly French Immersion. “Our board heard loud and clear our parents value the quality and variety of our programs of choice, and they want more,” said board chairperson Shawn Wilson. “While we continue to be challenged for space because of ongoing growth, trustees support staff ’s recommendations to find ways to meet the widespread desire for these programs.”
Subject to community consultations, trustees also hope to give the go-ahead to a new Punjabi language program at T.E. Scott Elementary (7079 148 St.) that would begin in September. A recent survey of Grade 4 parents at 10 elementary schools with the highest proportion of Punjabispeaking families indicated more than 30 families would register their child for a Punjabi language class in Grade 5 if one was available. Punjabi is already offered at three elementary schools (Beaver Creek, Newton and Strawberry Hill) and two high schools (Princess Margaret and Tamanawis). Trustees have also requested district staff review policies regarding programs of choice and consult parents about whether registration priority for siblings should be modified.

From 2007 to 2010 he was a sales manager, and, subsequently, media consultant, for Pacific Press. “I’m thrilled to be back in the community paper game,” he said, noting that a brief sojourn as a sales manager in another industry only convinced him that what he most enjoyed was being part of a business that touches the lives of all members of a community. “Our competitors in the digital world say that newspapers are dying – I say poppycock,” he said, noting that for many people, it’s still vital that they receive their newspapers on a regular basis. “Reading is still a part of their day. Even the younger group will pick up a paper and read it while they’re riding the bus.” And while he acknowledges that our era of information overload has led to a fragmented media market, he feels the secret of successful newspaper advertising is being able to pinpoint and work for the needs of each client. “I believe in responsibility, accountability and integrity,” he said. “I enjoy helping businesses achieve their goals. That’s what advertising does – and I enjoy seeing it work for people.”

Aesthetic water-use rules long overdue
I
t’s about time. Stage 2 water restrictions are now in effect across Metro Vancouver, and they include an outright ban on the use of pressure washers and other hosing off of outdoor surfaces. The only exceptions to the new rules include instances where people’s health and safety are at risk, or if you’re preparing a driveway for painting or sealing. Realistically, these rules are long overdue and should be included in stage 1 restrictions. Washing a driveway is a colossal waste of water, particularly during the summer. If the surface doubles as a basketball court and scattered rocks create a safety hazard, a good old-fashioned push broom will provide the perfect pre-game warm-up. Level 2 restrictions also mean that lawn watering is now limited to once a week in Metro Vancouver (in Mission and the City of Abbotsford, there is a call for a complete ban). It will be good to see more golden lawns throughout the Semiahmoo Peninsula, and beyond, over the next couple of months. As long as the rain holds off – and despite the fact it’s forecast to make a brief appearance in the coming days – that will be a good sign that residents are taking the water restrictions to heart and understand that just because watering your grass is allowed doesn’t mean it’s necessary. Boasting a verdant lawn throughout the dry summer months isn’t a point of pride, it’s more like a scarlet letter – only, green. Among other restrictions now in place, decorative fountains must be turned off and only child-activated spray parks are running. Hand watering plants is still OK. Looking at a long-term forecast that calls for continued dry weather and warm temperatures, it’s a fair guess that things are going to get worse before they get better. It’s up to all of us to use a little common sense and acknowledge that, when it comes to our dwindling water supply, we all have a part to play in saving for a rainy day.

By now, if you have been following my progress, you will realize that I am in hospice with ‘weeks,’ whatever that means. “I can’t believe this horrible cancer has decided to ravage my body as quickly as it has. I am certainly running out of time and don’t have the strength to reach out to each of you as I would have liked to do. “Please know I don’t regret the paths I’ve chosen or decisions I’ve made.

And this is where I fell short. You see, in a brief Facebook post, Heather imparted her message more masterfully than I could hope to. My response – in a private note – fell short. I wrote of how her bravery, throughout the years and particularly now, inspires me. I meant it sincerely, but I’m certain it came across as trite.

Not getting the ‘no’ message Editor: Re: Voters reject transit tax, July 3. Which part of ‘no’ do politicians not understand? I must admit, I was very surprised that the ‘no’ side won – and so dominantly, to boot. I am very happy to witness that more people are starting to pay attention to what our ‘rulers’ are up to. Yet, TransLink still doesn’t seem to get the message that this referendum was about them and their lack of accountability and know-how. I like to use the saying, “can’t fix stupid.” Having given SNC-Lavalin the contract for the Evergreen line was probably the worst act. The millions of tax dollars they spent in the ‘yes’ campaign was another swift kick into our already thin-lined wallets. So I have to ask myself, which part of the ‘no’ do the politicians and their backers not understand? And what are the defeated mayors doing now? Of course, passing the ball back into Christy Clark’s court – a game that is played amongst politicians with our dollars, yet we don’t even get to sit in the bleachers to watch. Why do so many people still call this democracy? Even though the ‘no’ side won, look what it actually cost us. I agree that the defeated mayors should be responsible for their manipulating campaign. Our province has much bigger, more important issues than supporting TransLink, health care, poverty, homelessness, drug-war issue in Surrey, overdevelopment in White Rock, etc. The list is endless. Dear folks, please stay awake. We do have the ‘people power’ if we want to. There is more to come from our so-called representatives. Maggie Bernet, White Rock
first spend a lot of money to acquire ownership of our drinking-water resource from Epcor. And if we choose to continue using our newly acquired drinkingwater system, we will be spending more money to bring it up to proper standards. The second public meeting revealed that the identical consulting firm that prepared a Biodiversity Conservation Strategy for the City of Surrey two years ago is now being paid by White Rock to fill in the information that’s missing for our area. It would have been much more efficient and less costly to include our small environmental area with the original Surrey study. The third public meeting discussed the organic waste transfer facility, which operates on a so-called temporary basis in the city’s works yard, in the middle of a residential area. Running an organic waste management operation in the middle of a residential area without a comprehensive plan approved by regulatory authorities or the public does not seem to be a very prudent management practice. Again, Surrey has a properly approved and located waste-transfer station and a soon-to-be-built, ultra-modern, organic waste biofuel facility. When you begin to compare the modern service opportunities and lower property taxes afforded by
nearby Surrey, the redundancy, inefficiency and excessive costs associated with our quaint and independent system of municipal governance becomes glaringly obvious. Many small municipalities throughout Canada recognized decades ago the economic and financial efficiencies to be gained with municipal amalgamation. I really think it’s time to revisit the idea of merging with Surrey. However, don’t expect city hall to push this idea. It will be up to the residents of White Rock to make it happen. Ron Kistritz, White Rock
Site acquisition makes sense Editor: Re: Water takeover in three months, July 1. I was very pleased to hear that White Rock council is starting the process for expropriation of the water utility from Epcor. However, I was appalled and puzzled when I read the article in the July 1 Peace Arch News describing the response to Coun. Helen Father’s motion to have staff move forward on the additional site’s acquisition – that is the piece the developers want. The White Rock Coalition council
members, plus the mayor, voted against it. Why? Epcor has not sold the land yet to Elegant developers – it is conditional on the developers getting rezoning and an amendment of the official community plan. Council has the power to block this rezoning. I understand that Epcor will receive $12 million if this deal goes through. They only paid $9 million for the whole utility in 2005. If the city is expropriating the utility, why not all the land? And, why would a councillor who is only doing her job of representing the public be criticized for not suggesting this in previous closed meetings? How are the residents to know what is happening when critical information is discussed in closed meetings? Coun. Lynne Sinclair says it is too late in the day. Why? What happened that Fathers’ motion is rejected – was there a deal made with Epcor and Elegant that the public does not know about? We owe them nothing. Please do the right thing, council, and vote in the best interests of the taxpayers of White Rock. I don’t recall the coalition, at election time, loudly proclaiming that they were for density and highrises. For your information, there is another development proposal on the corner of Thrift and Oxford for a 12-storey highrise. Patricia Kealy, White Rock

Time to revisit city merger Editor: Two civic events in June gave me some food for thought. First were the public-information meetings on some of White Rock’s more pressing problems, and then, at the end of the month, there was the unpleasant ritual of paying our property tax. I couldn’t help but conclude from these two juxtaposed events that we are paying an unnecessarily large premium in taxes to live in this small, independently governed ‘City by the Sea’. It was revealed in the first public meeting that we could easily be connected to Metro Vancouver’s world-class water filtration system, as is the case with nearby Surrey. However, before we are entitled to connect to Metro’s water, we must

Off-leash dogs disrupt forest, too Editor: Re: Urban forest under attack from visitors, July 3. Surprisingly, reporter Tracy Holmes’ story did not touch on another major disruption to the Sunnyside Acres Urban Forest – off-leash dogs. I walk mine, on leash, through the trails regularly and often see off-leash dogs trampling through the ferns and bushes off-trail. In one case, an owner was throwing a ball into the bush for their dog to fetch. These same dogs are likely the ones leaving all of the unscooped poop that we see on the trails, as their ‘conveniently oblivious’ owners walk well ahead of them.
Many people walk these trails, and those without dogs should not be subject to off-leash dogs approaching them. Your pooch may be the friendliest dog in the world, but that does not entitle you let it run off-leash. In fact, both you and your dog will get better exercise, if you keep your dog leashed and walk at a steady pace without stopping. The dog park is a much better alternative, if you want to exercise your pet in a wide open space. The urban forest is for everyone to enjoy, and all are entitled to a peaceful walk through its trails without dogs running at them or having to clean the poop off their shoes when they are done.

i from page 1 to the BCTRB decision, “expressed adamantly” that she would never crumple and throw a student’s work in the trash. She recalled disciplining the child about urinating on the playground, but didn’t recall whether other students overheard, and denied that the student cried. During the hearing, Gosse said she regretted some of her conduct, but argued the panel should have considered the challenging composition of her class that year. She said 11 of the 18-20 kids in her class were Englishlanguage learners, while two were designated special needs and one or two were undesignated but she suspected had special needs. “A teacher struggling to contain frustration in a classroom in an innercity school in an under-supported class with students with severe learning and/or behavioural disabilities is significantly less blameworthy than the same behaviour of a teacher in a 10-student kindergarten class on the west side of Vancouver with no stu-
dents with special needs and adequate support,” Gosse said. The BCTRB commissioner said to accept that argument would be to accept that children in challenging classrooms are not entitled to the protection of professional conduct standards. The decision noted teaching conditions can vary dramatically due to a host of factors, including class size and composition, students’ age, teacher experience and learning resources available to the teacher. “No two classes are alike,” the May 28 decision reads. “The standards are drafted with that diversity in mind and those contextual factors are taken into account when applying them in particular classes. “Here, the composition of the respondent’s class was challenging, but she was an experienced teacher who had a number of resources available to her.” The BCTRB has yet to determine what, if any, discipline Gosse will face.

thing, it would offer an absolute minimum of travel time savings over rapid buses. Given the distance involved, it seems that it would be better to invest in buses for the foreseeable future. The Green Timbers may also prove a more formidable object than Surrey council thinks. The forest was protected by a referendum vote in 1988, and any encroachments on it could lead to legal challenges. While Surrey officials claim that only trees that are not protected would be chopped down, that claim seems a bit too convenient. The one part of the mayors’ transit plan which is least likely to go ahead now is expansion of the bus fleet. More buses and more routes had been promised if the sales tax plan was approved. Bus service in Surrey is far from ideal, and many areas of the city are poorly served by transit. More buses are needed here, but it will be hard for TransLink to set up new routes or offer more service given its current financial constraints. Once again, those who depend on the bus system to get around in Surrey and other South Fraser communities have been left out in the cold. Frank Bucholtz writes Fridays for the Peace Arch News.

Critter Care wildlife rehabilitation centre is hosting an open house this weekend, featuring many of the creatures currently in its care.
Critter Care to host open house this weekend
‘Wild and woolly’ event planned Monique Tamminga

rom a baby porcupine to marmots and mink, this year’s open house at Critter Care wildlife rehabilitation centre is going to be wild and woolly. “This has been an absolutely crazy year, very busy with so many animals,” said Critter Care founder Gail Martin. “This heat has been hard on all the animals and the volunteers and staff, too.” Critter Care – located in south Langley – released nine bears back to the wild on June 24. They still have six in their care, including the two cubs that arrived small and emaciated last May. The organization specializes in the treatment, care and release of sick, injured and orphaned B.C. mammals, including skunks, raccoons, coyote, deer, otters, bobcats, lynx, bears, opossums and squirrels. Once a year, they open the facility to the public to let them see how it all works and for
people to have the chance to meet some of the babies and see all their antics. This year, the two-day open house takes place on Saturday, July 11 and Sunday, July 12 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Along with entertainment, food and tours to see the animals, rescuer Norm Snihur will be there along with his two-seater helicopter.
“Norm picks up wildlife for us all over the province and brings them to us,” said Martin. “He brought us a couple fawns from Gibsons last week. He does it for all the animal rescue centres and has for years.” Snihur has flown as far as Kamloops and as close as Victoria to transport injured or orphaned wildlife. Other highlights of the open house will include RCMP, a fire truck and firefighters from Hall 5, a stilt walker, face painting, dunk tank, bouncy castle, animal mascots and the West Coast Thunder horse drill team. Food will also be available all day. Admission is $2 per adult, kids are free. Donations of toilet paper, tissues, garbage bags, cleaning products, towels, receiving blankets are appreciated; as well, there is a need for kiddy pools to cool the animals. Those hoping to join a tour are advised to book into one upon arrival, as they fill up quickly. Critter Care is located at 481 216 St.
With Metro Vancouver and much of B.C. covered with a thick haze of forest-fire smoke, the BC SPCA is encouraging animal owners to refresh their emergency pet preparedness. Several new wildfires as well as old ones have caused evacuation orders and states of emergency in several B.C. communities, prompting people to leave their homes as quickly as possible. “When you’re ordered to evacuate, you need to do it as soon as possible, and people don’t necessarily think about their pet in an emergency situation until it’s too late,” said BC SPCA general manager of community relations Lorie Chortyk. “You don’t have time to gather up everything you need if you have to get out of your home right away.” Evacuations are usually a busy time for staff and volunteers at the province’s BC SPCA branches, as they provide extra shelter, pet food and pet-related equipment such as crates and leashes for pet guardians and animals. “When you’re in a hurry, it can be easy to forget feeding bowls, food, leashes, everything,” Chortyk said. “That’s why it’s important to plan ahead. People love their pets, but it often doesn’t sink in that an emergency can happen at any time.” An emergency kit for a pet should include: • A seven-day supply of food and water • Sturdy crate and/or carrier • Pet first-aid kit • Blanket/plastic bags • Leash, harness • Food and water bowls (collapsible are great) • Litter box and litter for cats • A manual can opener • A copy of your pet’s current vaccination history • Any special medications and instructions For more information, visit spca. bc.ca

enviro notes
Answers are much harder to develop. They must focus on inculcating a sense of communal responsibility in everyone, not just a few – a process which I believe starts very early in life. When will the coffeedrinker realize that casual discarding of an empty plastic cup damages the environment and generates clean-up costs? What message will persuade the struggling plant manager that illicit dumping of waste may save dollars but harm the community? What will it take to persuade operators of bottomdragging trawlers to modify their destructive practice? Laws and regulations to protect the community against the selfcentred individual may help but only if they are enforced and that, costing money and staffing, points towards an abridgement of liberty and a police state and begs the question of who will do the policing. There’s need to inculcate the concept of communal and corporate responsibility; acceptance of the ideas that “No man is an island” and that we are indeed our kinsfolk’s keepers. It’s the long-standing dilemma of balancing voluntary limits with enforcement of regulations. How this can be achieved, and by whom, are not easy questions to answer, but they do cry out for solutions which will be universally applied.

White Rock Elementary students set new fundraising mark 152 St
‘Firsties’ raise record funds Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Their hearts were truly in the right place. The 2014-2015 Fine Arts Firsties – as the first graders in the Fine Arts program at White Rock Elementary are known – outdid the record of last year’s class in raising money for the Surrey Homelessness and Housing Society. The Hearts for Hope campaign, in which the students created, painted and sold unique clay hearts at the school’s Fall Fair, raised a total of $1,078.50 for the society. A cheque for that amount was presented to the society’s Jennifer McCaffrey at the ‘thank you’ assembly held at the school last month. Originally inspired by the passing of well-known White Rock homeless man Ryan Ashe in 2013, the first Hearts for Hope campaign – guided by the ‘Firsties’ teacher Venessa Bentley – raised $970 at the fall fair in October of that year. That accomplishment won the 2013-2014 Fine Arts Firsties, and

public inquiry, but the premier has said that’s problematic due to privacy issues and potential high costs. Lake said he is asking the Ombudsperson to “investigate the events leading up to the decision to terminate the employees, the decision to terminate itself, and the actions taken by government following the terminations, in addition to any other matters he may deem worthy of investigation.” An independent review last year failed when the labour lawyer leading it said she was stymied by restrictive terms of reference. NDP leader John Horgan called the decision to bring in the Ombudsperson a “positive step” and a major concession by the government that more investigation is needed. He said Opposition MLAs on the committee that oversees the Ombudsperson will fight for broad terms of reference to determine who ordered the firings and why. Chalke is a former assistant deputy minister of justice. Horgan said the NDP will also demand full disclosure of any involvement he had in the issue to ensure there’s no perception of conflict of interest.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Peninsula teen shines
Thrill of the stage Alex Browne
W
Arts Reporter
here are tomorrow’s stars coming from? Don’t be surprised if some of the biggest names of the future emerge from the current crop of young talents on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. Take South Surrey’s Richard Tichelman, for example. The 15 year-old singer-guitarist-songwriter is an undeniably able performer, with an assured presence, and clean-cut appeal. He also possesses a smile likely to charm the hardest-nosed industry professional, and an unpretentious, agreeably modest manner to go with his obvious musical gifts. Little wonder that he scored a double triumph recently – winning the Abbotsford Idol contest on June 23, and, closer to home, placing second only to friend and musical colleague Josh Bogert in the Roadhouse Live Talent Contest on June 14 (fellow Elgin Park Secondary student and musical collaborator Ava Carich placed third). “I didn’t set high expectations on winning Abbotsford Idol,” the soft-spoken Tichelman (pronounced Tickle-man) told Peace Arch News. “But I set a high standard for myself. I knew I was up against some pretty good singers and vocalists, but I knew if I could do well, it would be a good thing for me.” Although taking the top spot in the contest was a surprise to him, it’s made him all the keener to pursue music, Tichelman said. “If I can take it to a professional level, that’s what I want to do. The thrill of being onstage is something I love – it’s such a rush to be on stage; to see people smiling and laughing, even singing along. “And the bigger the crowd, the better I am.” That’s something that Tichelman got to test with one of the prizes of his Abbotsford Idol win – an opening set for headliners Emerson Drive and Aaron Pritchett for the Canada Day Kickoff concert June 30 at Abbotsford Centre. Even though the venue’s full 7,000 capacity wasn’t used for that concert, Tichelman’s mom, Tracy, still calculates that upwards of 3,000 people caught his 15-minute set. “It’s the largest crowd I’ve ever played to,” he noted. That includes placing third in the BC Junior Talent Search and opening for the Powder Blues Band at the White Rock Sea Festival last year. He was only in Grade 7 when he took the plunge into the BC Junior Talent Search – his first-ever contest. “I wanted to take my singing to the next

South Surrey’s Richard Tichelman, 15, is well-known around the Semiahmoo Peninsula from his outdoor busking performances. level,” he said. “That’s when I discovered I could do this, that I could take it somewhere. “Each time I come off stage, win or lose, I still have a smile.” Other notable events in Tichelman’s already burgeoning resume include singing with the White Rock Children’s Choir from 2011 to 2013 (along with Bogert), being selected as one of 12 finalists – out of 4,000 entries from across Canada – for season seven of YTV’s The Next Star, and placing second in this year’s Teen Fest in Cloverdale. He’s still awaiting word whether he made it into the Star Experience teen songwriting contest conducted by Shaw Multicultural Channel’s eveRIAthing show. And he’s also looking forward to seeing the completed version of an original rock opera video project, The Vampire To Sing His Song in the Sun, for which he enjoyed shooting scenes recently for director and composer Issah Contractor. But what’s lost in all the current attention

focused on Tichelman – and something that would never be suspected by anyone who’s seen his confident rapport with his audiences – is the fact that he has struggled, from his earliest years, with a learning disability. Ironically, Tracy said, he once used to shy away from music – not wanting his mom to sing nursery rhymes, or hear her and his older sister, Elizabeth, singing around the house – “which was difficult,” she added. Diagnosed with ‘written output disorder’ – a form of attention deficit disorder limiting verbal self-expression – he was taken out of Southridge School and placed at Fraser Academy in Kitsilano for Grade 3 and Grade 4, before being streamed back into school locally in Grade 5 at Chantrell Creek Elementary. The expertise of teachers at Fraser Academy – such as music teacher Gary Gillespie – in dealing with students’ ‘learning differences’ made a huge difference

to Tichelman’s development, he and Tracy agree. Something clicked musically for him at the age of nine, in Grade 4. Taken with the James Blunt song You’re Beautiful, he decided he wanted to sing it at an upcoming parents’ tea. With Gillespie providing guitar accompaniment, he worked on the song for three weeks before debuting it at the event for Tracy and his dad, Bob. “After that, my mom said ‘you really have a talent – do you want to take singing lessons?’” he recalled. “I have it on video,” Tracy said. “We sat there and couldn’t believe it. This was the boy who wouldn’t sing anything – or get up in front of people.” His parents and Elizabeth – who just graduated from Elgin Park – have been tremendously supportive of his musical career every step of the way, he said. › see page 28

Murs, and some classic rock songs – I like the Beatles and April Wine and CCR and all those guys,” he said. “With my guitar I like to put that funk riff
with this R&B scale, and throw a bit of jazz in there, while, vocally, I just do my thing.” Fog-gotten, a more folky, open-tuning song, is a tribute to his late grandmother, who had Alzheimer’s – but with whom he could always connect musically (“I’d really, really like to get involved with music therapy,” he added). Tichelman is unstinting in his praise for all the adults who have mentored him, including vocal and performance coach Don Wolf, with whom he’s studied since 2011. “He’s such a phenomenal guy, from the stories (of the business) he can tell to getting down to the technical stuff. It’s been so beneficial to me – it’s not only brought out my voice, but also the performance aspect and working a crowd.” His experience with White Rock Children’s Choir founder-director Sarona Mynhardt also gave him valuable exposure to the more classical side of music, he said. “Sarona has a traditional style of teaching which was wonderful in helping me develop my voice in more than just the pop sound – one of the things I found beneficial was harmonizing with Josh, which is something I picked up and can use whenever I want.” Mynhardt’s husband Johan – Tichelman’s automobile shop teacher at Elgin Park – has also given him valuable life lessons about the importance of a good work ethic, he says. “He pushed me and made me become who I am,” he said. He also gives high kudos to the school’s guitar teacher, Tom Myring, for being “a phenomenal teacher and a role model” (Tichelman is also grateful for the guitar basics he learned in private classes with local instructor Jesse Birch) and nowretired drama teacher Stan Engstrom, who directed him as a Grade 8 student in the school’s production of the musical Grease. “Stan is a brilliant teacher who always had my back – he taught me how to be big on stage, but also little, intimate things you can do that will draw the eye.”

TD Concerts at the Pier returns Saturday evening
Personal Real Estate Corp.
Series off to strong start Alex Browne Arts Reporter
The TD Concerts At The Pier series got off to a good start on Saturday night, according to White Rock BIA director Douglas Smith. The free concert on White Rock’s waterfront – with rising indie band Good For Grapes and opening acts David Sinclair and Keith Bennett and Rich Hope – drew strong attention from restaurant patio patrons and the post-dinner, promenade-strolling crowd Smith said. “Between 7 and 10 p.m., I’d say some 2,500 people saw at least part of the concert,” he said. “At any one time, there was between 500 and 750 people by the stage, although people were coming and going all the time.” Sponsored by TD Canada Trust, and RE/MAX, and co-presented ❝It’s all about by the City the music and of White Rock and showcasing White Rock our community BIA, with to a wider assistance audience.❞ from the Peak Douglas Smith Performance BIA Project, the series is aimed at raising the profile of the city as a musical destination with a high-visibility event.

Rogers and Lester Quitzau); and The Matinee (Aug. 8, with Tonye Aganaba and Blue Moon Marquee). “It’s a perfect setting,” Smith said about the series’ stage location, adjacent to the iconic pier. “It’s all about the music and showcasing our community to a wider audience.” Smith said an informal survey of listeners at Saturday’s concert identified a lot of out-of-town visitors. “There were lots from Washington State, lots of people vacationing, or coming in from places like Langley and Abbotsford.” Smith, whose past credits include New Westminster’s Concerts at the Quay series, said the series is being studied closely to see how it can become a sustainable continuing event. “The next step is to determine how we would like the concert series to evolve,” he said.

We would try to get our local restaurants and businesses involved – we’d want them to participate, rather than bringing in food trucks, but we weren’t able to get that organized in time for this year.”

Good hearing but trouble with conversation? good solution for most people.
A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out. A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then
Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises.
quiet sounds are no longer naturally amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened. This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a
This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background. Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a demonstration to see whether they notice an improvement. Interested people can register for a free hearing evaluation and a no-obligation demonstration of the Audéo V hearing aids by calling 1.888.408.7377.

Canada on a roll
It took only one day for Canada and Japan to climb to the top of the Women’s International standings at the Canadian Open Fastpitch International. The two national teams won twice on each of the first two days of play at the nine-team tournament. Canada began with a 5-0 victory over the NJCAA All-stars Tuesday afternoon at Softball City, and followed up with an 11-0 romp past Dominican Republic in the evening. On Tuesday, they defeated Mexico 9-1, and Cuba 9-2. Japan took care of Puerto Rico 12-0 on Tuesday afternoon before edging Cuba 3-2 five hours later. On Wednesday, they beat off Mexico and the Rivercity Hornets.
Futures Gold The local clubs are off to a good start at the Open, as well. In the Futures Gold (U19) division’s Pool B, the White Rock Renegades ’97 were a perfect 4-0 through Wednesday evening, after wins over the Fraser Valley Fusion (8-2); Florida’s Plantation Pressure Gold (1-0); Washington’s Cascade Crush (8-1) and Vancouver Island Impact ’98 (10-0). A second Renegades team, the ’99s, were 2-2 in Pool A. The Surrey Storm ’98s are 1-2 after their first three games. Playoff contests begin today (Friday), and the championship game is set for Sunday, 4 p.m. at Softball City.

Team Canada shortstop Jenn Salling is back with the national squad after spending the last three seasons playing professionally in the U.S.
After three years in the pro ranks, Jenn Salling is back on the national team
Shortstop makes timely return Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
A
group of diehard softball fans in the outfield bleachers at Softball City’s main diamond have a little something extra to cheer about at this year’s Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship – the return of Jenn Salling. The 28-year-old shortstop from Port Coquitlam – whose “clan” of family and friends, she says, are fixtures in the left-field bleachers each year – has returned to the Canadian national team this summer after spending the last three years playing in the National Pro Fastpitch League in the U.S. Though leaving the pro ranks was difficult – Salling spent three seasons with the USSSA Florida Pride in Kissimmee, Fla. before being traded to the Pennsylvania Rebellion – there were plenty of reasons to return to Canada, not the least of which was being able to play in
front of her family again. “I was just kind of ready to move on from the pro league, and obviously we have two big events here in Canada – the Pan-Am Games this summer (in Toronto) and then the world championships here in Surrey next year – so being able to get a chance to play in those events was really important to me,” she said. “But (playing pro) was a great experience – there is so much talent there, it’s a great league. I think that anyone who ever gets the chance to do it, should definitely try.” The left-handed hitting Salling, known as something of a defensive whiz in the field, played for the national team from 2006-2012, and is one of just four current team members with Olympic experience – second baseman Jen Yee, third baseman Megan Timpf and catcher Kaleigh Rafter are the others who played at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, the last time softball was on the Olympic docket.
Her experience is a welcome addition to the team, head coach Mark Smith said, though for her part, Salling said she eased back into a leadership role after her three-year absence. “It was important for me to realize that I haven’t been here for three years, and there were a lot of new players who I didn’t know, and who didn’t know me,” she said. “It’s not just about jumping in and saying, ‘OK, here, this is what we’re gonna do.’ That’s not my personality. “But it’s really good to be back.” Last year, when Salling decided she wanted to return to the national-team fold, she called Smith to discuss the opportunity, and he, in turn, invited her back. Despite her history, however, she wasn’t gifted a roster spot. She went through the same training camps as everyone else, she said, and it wasn’t until last December that she knew she’d made the squad. i see page 32

Tritons on brink of playoff berth
SATURDAY & SUNDAY FULL DAY SHOW
Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
2015 A b b o t s f o r d
Little more than a month ago, White Rock Tritons coach Russ Smithson said he was confident that his team – which struggled early in the BC Premier Baseball League season – could play themselves back into the thick of the playoff race. Perhaps the veteran bench boss should buy a lottery ticket, because his predictive powers proved accurate – with two weeks to go, the Tritons sit with a win-loss record of 14-25 – one spot back of the final postseason berth, even after a four-game stretch

last weekend that saw them go 2-2. “We got the split, but the closest team to us was Coquitlam, and they lost three, and then lost again (Tuesday), so we made up some ground,� explained Smithson, after his team won two games Saturday against the Victoria Mariners, before dropping a pair to the first-place Victoria Eagles Sunday. Now, the Tritons have the eighth-place Abbotsford Cardinals in their sights. “They’re one game up on us, but they have a really tough schedule the last two weeks, and they play us in their last two games, so it could come down to that,�
Smithson said. “We hold our own fate in our hands.� Last week, White Rock earned 4-0 and 5-2 wins over the Mariners, and in Game 1 were led by pitcher Patrick van den Brink, who leads the BCPBL in strikeouts and has pitched four straight complete games. Against Victoria, he struck out six while giving up just one hit. White Rock can make up some ground Sunday when they host the last-place Parksville Royals at South Surrey Athletic Park. They also have one game Tuesday against the Langley Blaze.

i from page 31 “It’s not just, ‘Oh, you’re back on the team because you’ve been here before.’ You have to work at it, and I had to play well to make him believe in me. You have to convince (the coaches) that you’re going to bust your butt every single day for this team.� Smith – who said he was
“certainly happy� to have fielded a phone call from Salling last year – said once she settled back into the program, the benefits on the field, and off, were noticeable. “It’s been interesting to watch her, because we have a fairly quiet group here – that’s just the personalities of the girls. There’s some chatter, but there’s
not a real dominant presence, and Jenn can be that when she wants to be. She can be loud out there, she can take charge,� he said. While Smith knows his younger players have learned under Salling – “and are better for it,� he said – he’s also noticed that even the team’s veteran infielders, like Yee
and Timpf, are playing with a newfound confidence and assertiveness. “There’s a difference in someone like (Yee), because she knows she has Jenn to her right again. She’s used to that, it’s familiar. And the same goes for Megan and the others. “It’s been a positive return, all the way around.�

Bob passed quickly and peacefully surrounded by the family he loved so dearly. He is survived by his wife Jackie, five children, six grandchildren, sister Val in the UK, many nieces and nephews and several lifelong friends; both here and abroad. Dad spent his 85 years creating; both with his hands and with his mind. He had a great love of woodworking; beginning with model boats and furniture, rocking chairs, carvings, inlays and culminating with a rowboat, a canoe and several cedar strip kayaks Along the way he built three houses, became a master at stained glass, dabbled in petit-point, made some fishing lures, built many tiffany lamps with brass torch bases and later in life self published a book of poetry and one of short stories telling tales of a life lived And then there was gardening. Dad had a beauty on Quadra Island, in part helped (actually, more aided and abetted) by his sister Val who would 'mule' seeds of various and sundry plants from home. Dad emigrated from the UK in 1956 with our mum Aileen and right from the beginning was mesmerized by the possibilities and opportunities of Canada's west coast. He lived his life all over the BC coast, from Victoria to Kyuquot to Port Simpson, Quadra Island and most recently Campbell River. His legacy is one of creativity and friendship. He was a good man with a big heart that touched many, many people. A celebration of Dad's life will be held at Jackie's home at 507 Grayson Rd, Campbell River on Saturday August 8th from 11- 2pm The whole family will be there and would enjoy hearing your best Bob memories over a cup of tea and a biscuit (or gummy bears, werthers, scotch mints etc etc etc..........) Rest in peace Dad
