White Rock council has rejected a recommendation to allocate $15,000 for a feasibility study for a dedicated arts centre in the city. The suggested study – part of a report from leisure services director Rita Clarkson – is “premature,” according to Couns. Lynne Sinclair and Helen Fathers. But both say they believe a dedicated arts centre is clearly a good idea as part of overall planning to revitalize the city. “I don’t think we need to spend $15,000 to have the answer for that,” Sinclair said after Monday’s council meeting. The report, a followup to November’s Conversation ❝We have on the Arts sponbuildings all sored by the city’s over town cultural committee, estimates – a lot of provided of capital costs for facilities.❞ a new arts centre at Coun. Sinclair $10-$17 million. “That’s ludicrous – we don’t have the funds for that,” Fathers told Peace Arch News. “That (suggestion) didn’t come from the cultural committee.” Fathers and Sinclair said an arts centre would likely depend on a review of existing city facilities. “We need to make a few other decisions first,” Sinclair said. “We need to look at community facilities and also develop a vision of the town centre.” Sinclair noted during the meeting that one of the recommendations of a recent report on city facilities recommended consolidation. “We have buildings all over town – a lot of facilities,” she said. She also argued that an arts centre would not benefit just artists. “The arts are for more than the people (directly) involved in them,” she said. “They’re a huge economic driver – one of the reasons I go to Vancouver at all is for the arts.” Coun.

A Surrey cabbie who pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing bodily harm after a teen was pinned under his cab has been banned from driving for one year. According to Surrey Provincial Court records, Harpal Rai was also ordered Monday to pay a $1,000 fine and a $50 victim surcharge in connection with the Nov. 8, 2008 incident. “It’s not what I asked for,” Crown Don Wilson said of the sentence. “But definitely the case law would support that decision of the judge, so I can’t say it’s inappropriate.” Rai was charged after one of
four teens who hailed a ride then ran off without paying ended up pinned under his cab in the 2400block of 128 Street. The teen did not suffer serious injuries. A remorseful Rai pleaded guilty to the charge Jan. 4, at the start of what was to be a two-day preliminary hearing in the case. A second charge of assault with a weapon was stayed. Wilson said he argued this week that the offence warranted a short jail term, “but the judge was not convinced.” – Tracy Holmes

premier has been spent on many projects, but he has never completely stayed away from politics. I took in his speech in Langley last week, and was struck by the fact that what he was advocating was traditional Social Credit economic policy, as defined by longtime premier W.A.C. Bennett. That policy was a mixture of free enterprise and benevolent government ownership – something the elder Bennett used to great effect in building B.C. into a modern society. Another strong element of that policy was an attitude of hostility to intrusion by Ottawa into provincial matters. Vander Zalm is using this latent hostility to Ottawa as a key part of his fight against the HST. Many citizens do not believe that Ottawa should take over provincial sales tax. Vander Zalm has shown that well-organized resistance can do serious damage to a government that believes it has all the marbles in the game. Depending on the outcome of the HST battle, he may go down in history as the man who energized citizens into taking control of their government, through initiative, recall and renewed activism. No matter what the outcome is, he has certainly resurrected his reputation. Frank Bucholtz writes Fridays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

news Fathers ‘gobsmacked’ by council’s decision
White Rock rejects city-wide tree bylaw Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Better some kind of tree management bylaw than no tree management bylaw. That seemed to be the consensus of White Rock council in giving first, second and third readings to the most recent revision of the city’s tree-management bylaw Monday. Bylaw 1831 is aimed at regulating and prohibiting the cutting, removal and damage of trees, plus setting fee and permit requirements, and the provision and maintenance of replacement trees. The biggest bone of contention, however, is that the bylaw specifies particular areas of tree preservation – including significant stands of trees and identified ecological enhancement areas – rather than being applied city-wide. Coun. Helen Fathers voiced strong oppo-
sition to the proposed bylaw on just this score. In response to Fathers’ questions, acting director of engineering and operations Rob Thompson acknowledged that all investigated tree-management bylaws from 30 other jurisdictions set a city-wide standard. But as planning and development services director Paul Stanton noted in his report to council, feedback from two local public meetings held on the bylaw has veered from one in which a majority of residents underlined the importance of being able to cut trees to preserve views, to another in which a majority were pushing for city-wide tree management. Fathers herself acknowledged the pushand-pull nature of the ongoing debate. “I feel the yo-yo effect is going to be a continued yo-yo effect,” she said.

Child pornography A White Rock man is under investigation for possession and distribution of child pornography. Police executed a search warrant Wednesday, following a tip from somewhere in the U.S. Two computers were seized. One was found to contain child pornography, said Const. Janelle Shoihet, noting local children are not at risk. As of Thursday afternoon, no arrests had been made and no charges had been laid. Anyone with information is asked to call police, 778-593-3600.
Mayor’s crash

Laurel and Michael Middelaer, whose four-year-old daughter Alexa was killed in 2008, speak to reporters at the B.C. legislature this week.
Fines, bans increased by provincial government
Drunk-driving punishments honour Alexa Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – Responding to an increase in drunk-driving cases, the B.C. government has increased fines and other penalties for people caught drinking and driving. Under amendments to the Motor Vehicle Act introduced Tuesday by acting Public Safety Minister Mike de Jong, police will have the option of imposing an immediate penalty on anyone who fails a roadside breath test. Instead of issuing a 24-hour suspension, police will be able to impose a 90-day driving ban, a $500 fine and impound the vehicle for 30 days. The fee for reinstating a suspended licence will be increased from $100 to $250, and drivers will also be billed $700 for towing and 30 days of vehicle impoundment. Failing a roadside test will also mean mandatory participation in B.C.’s “responsible driver program” at a
Surrey couple whose daughter was struck and cost of $1,420. The changes mean one roadside test could killed two years ago by a driver charged with cost a driver $3,750 before driving again, and impaired driving.

Her parents said they were grateful who blows a “warn” reading between .05 and .08 on a roadside screening that the latest changes were dedicated device.

The husband of Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts is disputing claims about a crash last weekend that seriously injured two motorists. The couple was driving last Friday about 11 p.m. when they collided at 128 Street and 24 Avenue with a vehicle being driven by 55-year-old Shawnene Redekopp of Surrey. Police believed the Watts had the green light. However, Redekopp’s husband, Les, was reported this week as saying Shawnene had the green light. Brian Watts, who suffered softtissue injury, said Wednesday: “We had the green for sure.” He noted the SUV his wife was driving has a “black box” which recorded details of the crash, and he urged an end to speculation to “let the police do their job.” The mayor suffered a fractured rib and some internal injuries. She is recovering at home. Redekopp is recovering from extreme internal injuries at Vancouver General Hospital. Neither she nor her husband could be reached for comment.
PAH gala The 21st annual Partners in Caring Gala raised $191,500 Saturday for a new Peace Arch Hospital maternity ward. More than 400 people attended the event, hosted by Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation at Centennial Arena. “It’s an amazing event that raises much-needed funds for the hospital and is a tremendous show of the community’s support,” PAHCHF executive director Jackie Smith said Thursday in a release.

The remaining half-million in reductions required in order to balance the 2010-11 operating budget will come from a possible extension of spring break to two weeks – as was done this year. Consultations are currently underway about the school calendar adjustment. If not adopted, further reductions will need to be determined. “It has been a difficult and painful process for our board to make these decisions, particularly since our district is already the most efficiently run in the province,” said trustee Terry Allen, budget committee chair. “It is

impossible to cut more than $12 million from next year’s budget without affecting some jobs and services. The board has done the best it can to minimize impacts on students, as well as employees.” The STA says it believes the local school board is doing what it can under the dire financial circumstances, and says the province needs to step up and take responsibility. “I think it’s a general denial, really, from the Liberal government, about the significance of the cuts,” Moffatt said. “At the end of the day, these changes will have a significant impact on the quality of education we can offer in the public system, and that worries me.”

Artists told to prove need from page 1 said she is tired of people in the arts community coming to the city “cap in hand” – they need to develop a viable fundraising plan, she said. “We did this all before and they failed – it just washed away,” she said. “They may be massively talented, wonderful people, but they have to prove to me they want an arts centre.” But putting the onus on artists to develop something that could conceivably provide a “theme” for the city would be unfair, Fathers said, following the meeting. “It’s not the artists’ responsibility – it’s whether the city wants to be an
arts-focused community.” Councillors did endorse another recommendation from Clarkson, that the city review the current busking guidelines and the bylaw regarding commercial activity south of Marine Drive – and an amendment from Mayor Catherine Ferguson that staff also identify other areas of the city where busking could occur, including Five Corners and the Town Centre. Ferguson noted busking is part of the street ambience of Victoria, but suggested that, with city support, White Rock could easily outdo B.C.’s capital. “We have many talented people all over this city,” she said.

editorial
Attitude adjustment nd so the tables turn. It always seems quite curious at election time, when politicians are out in force trying to persuade their supporters to get out and vote, and to convince the undecided that they’re willing to jump through hoops for them. Candidates show us who’s boss: we, the electorate. Between elections – at a safe distance from the next one – things change. Successful candidates are often a little less than willing to kneel at their voters’ feet. In recent sessions, council watchers in White Rock have been treated to a number of pointed comments that seem intended to show voters who really is boss. And it isn’t the electorate. Whether informing members of the Business Improvement Association that a council decision “puts them on notice,” volunteer organizers of the Spirit of the Sea Festival that they displayed “arrogance” last year, or Marine Drive merchants that “business is hard work,” the message received is both loud and clear. In the most recent case, it was the merchants themselves who were ordered to jump through hoops so that the politicians could decide whether to continue seasonal free parking along the waterfront. Business owners were asked to respond in detail to a city questionnaire. In the end, only 11 of 82 distributed questionnaires were filled out, and only five answered all the specifics requested. Council’s reaction? They were not amused, and cancelled the program outright. Was council within its prerogative? Certainly. Were most businesses remiss? Absolutely. And was council correct to do its due diligence to ensure such a program is worth the effort? Without a doubt. However, dropping the program entirely seems more of an emotional response, especially after hearing two years’ worth of pleas from frustrated beach business owners and visitors. After all, even without statistics it should be obvious that shoppers are more likely to visit free-parking areas than pay-parking ones. Just as obvious is the fact one can’t add up the number of cars during free-parking time and calculate how much money the city lost. It would be wise for both sides to take a deep breath, and come back to the table anew, with the hope that some sort of compromise can be reached, respectfully and beneficial for all. Perhaps this magnanimous spirit could even last well into the next election.

However, despite all of those injuries, and the slivers from the wood backstop, the scratches from exposed wire ends, the falls in the bush area, and various wounds from sticks, stones and other makeshift weapons of war, not once do I ever recall a parent stomping in to see the principal about the grave dangers to which we had been so negligently exposed. If fact, that fall off the monkey bars which resulted in bloody knees would also likely mean catching hell at home for tearing holes in your good school pants. Of course, that was back in the days of charging off with a friend on a Saturday afternoon, with nothing more than a “be home for dinner” from an unconcerned mom. For hours, she would have only a vague notion of where we might be, which could mean anywhere on a vast expanse of farmland, brush, tall trees, and a pond, upon which many rafts were built, and sunk. Can you imagine letting your kid wander off unsupervised today, on some obscure adventure that involved an axe, some rope and deep water? Sigh... those were the days... for kids, and parents.

Comments a Not their slap in the face responsibility An open letter to White Rock council. Re: ‘Poor response’ stalls free parking, April 28. We, too, are disappointed in the number of respondents to your survey, but I absolutely disagree with some opinions in the article. To comment on business not being easy – and that it is somehow a lack of hard work – is a slap in the face and a complete lack of respect with regards to our intelligence as a business community. I challenge Coun. Mary-Wade Anderson to run both of our restaurants, catering company and wine company. Be forewarned, this is a seven-day-a-week, 90-hour-aweek commitment – all for five per cent. Are you up for that? We were forced to expand and take on more work to try to to cut costs, diversify our products and increase our buying power. I should also note my wife and I have two young children as well, and that she raises them every day, puts them to bed, and then does the accounting every night until 1 a.m. Is that hard enough work for you? Clearly, some council members have absolutely no comprehension of what is really happening in our community. It is so simple; just look around at all the commercial leasing opportunities that will be tough to fill because of a lack of parking. The business turnover on the beach is ridiculous. Why don’t you run a report on that? The commercial space in the Bosa building along Johnston Road – which will remain empty for years, I’m sure – is just another example of how people feel about convenience when they shop. Entrepreneurs understand convenience is crucial. When Angela and I started Pearl in 2004, we had sales of $1.2 million. We are now down to $850,000, and I can assure you our expenses have not dropped accordingly – patio rental, rent, property tax, grain, dairy… all cost more. So ask yourself, has Pearl become an inferior restaurant with terrible products and service? I think not – and I review this with an open mind to ensure we are improving. To be blind to what is happening in South Surrey is incredibly frustrating. Cactus Club, The Keg, Milestones, Montana’s – the list goes on for another dozen – and all of which have convenient free parking. In closing, the report we were asked to complete was immaterial. We did fill it out, however. This report would have only worked if there was no recession. How can you decide whether the program worked with the economic conditions we faced in 2008-2009? These conditions still show their effects; you only have to look at the situation in Europe to see that. You want to know if the program will work? Go to the beach on a sunny day and survey 100 people. Ask them if they would come to the beach more often if the parking was free and convenient. Nicholas Popoff, White Rock
Editor: Re: City undervalues its businesses, April 14 letters. I read the open letter to White Rock council from Mauricio Kremer, and my immediate reaction was to lash out to the writer. I was at the BIA election, too, and got a vote of 72 warm bodies. My approval rating – I was associated to Democracy First – was high. I left bewildered after having heard promises and commitments made by other candidates. Pollyanna...? I proudly represent Gelateria Italia on Marine Drive. I can’t remember the number of the many businesses
I have seen passing in a review over many years since I arrived here 1988. Times change. Enterprises in dismay and collapse, disarray and involuntary or voluntary closures due to incompetence or bankruptcy. It’s all about marketing – planting the seeds for growth in fertile soil – and sales – harvesting the crop. Your lambasting the members of council is not only poor diplomacy, but a stupid venue for your wellintended ambitions to make a viable business of your cheese shop. The vitriol you deliver disregards the facts you should know of, and this since you have no alternatives to offer but complaints and reprimands. A different venue of public exposure would have been preferred. After all, you were elected one of 11 directors, potentially to be on the BIA board. Mind your business.
Hold on to your Camembert. Credibility, viability, sustainability and projected goals all depend on you for your business – which is yours and for nobody else to take responsibility for, or “hold under the armpits,” to make it profitable and lucrative. Don’t expect society to take fiscal responsibility for the actions you try to implement to affect your enterprise. I see no resolve to the demands you set forth for finding reasons to stay in White Rock, therefore I recommend you pack your bags and cheese and leave, this as you could envisage to be the results of your lack of support from council. I just can’t see where the council and mayor fit into your business plan. Remember, you can’t change the winds but you can adjust your sails. Johan Sandstrom, White Rock

In short, religion is an easier hook on which to hang our prejudices.a David Dalley
Boaz Joseph photo
Vismaad Kaur Sarai, 5, (left) and sister Japnaam, 6, ride the Guru Nanak Academy float at Surrey’s Vaisakhi parade.
We need to put a face to the faith Editor: Does Sikhism encourage violence? With the dust starting to settle on the Vaisakhi parade controversy, I wonder how accurately our community can answer this question. A year ago, MacLean’s magazine published an article titled “What Canadians think of Sikhs, Jews, Christians, Muslims... A disturbing new poll shows the limits of our tolerance.” The article published data from a national poll that surveyed Canadians’ beliefs about a number of mainstream religions. The poll found that when it comes to religion, “many Canadians harbor deeply troubling biases.” Of particular interest were the questions that probed Canadians’ views on Sikhism. When asked if they thought the mainstream beliefs of Sikhism encouraged violence, 26 per cent of respondents answered “yes.” Why might so many Canadians hold such inaccurate views of Sikhism? The article speculates media coverage of complex social, economic or political issues may oversimplify matters, leading to erroneous “reductive reasoning” in which readers tend to misattribute religion as the cause. In short, religion is an easier hook on which to hang our prejudices. The poll also asked respondents if they held a “generally favourable opinion” about Sikhism, to which only 30 per cent answered “yes” – one of the lowest favourability ratings. Only one in three could find in their hearts to hold a favourable view of Sikhism. The poll then probed whether having a Sikh friend was a related factor. Of respondents who did not have a Sikh friend, 23 per cent had a favourable view about Sikhism. Of respondents who did have a Sikh friend, 63 per cent had a favourable view. We, as a society, have a predisposition towards misunderstanding and intolerance when it comes to
religious traditions that differ from our own. I am hopeful our politicians and media can choose words and images that minimize the risk of fueling this. I am also hopeful all citizens will take advantage of opportunities to get to know their neighbours and to challenge misconceptions and assumptions they may have about religious traditions other than their own. The Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara (7050 120th St.) is hosting a Multifaith Social at 4-6 p.m. on May 16. The event is an opportunity to get to know people from different faith traditions in your community. Contact me at davidanderin@dalley.ca or 604-5028661 for more information.

No room for threats Re: Mayor vows Vaisakhi change, April 21. When I read the report on the Vaisakhi parade, my blood began to boil. Inappropriate and unacceptable comments to two of our politicians made by a parade organizer was shocking. In what country do these people think they are living? In my adopted home, Canada, there is absolutely no room for threats of any kind, especially when they have to do with differences of opinion with regard to the Khalistan campaign for a separate Sikh state. The parade was meant to be a happy cultural celebration, not a place to air grievances on a matter taking place on the other side of the world. These individuals came to this blessed country of their own free will. Let their actions show their appreciation of their good fortune and not create problems. Let’s not have a situation of this mean-spiritedness again. Congratulations to Mayor Dianne Watts on the stand she has taken to try with regard to next year’s parade. M. Downey, Surrey

City hall flag lowered for National Day of Mourning
Workplace safety recognized The Canadian flag flew at halfmast at White Rock City Hall Wednesday morning, as the city joined the rest of the province in remembering those who have died or been injured in the workplace. A brief ceremony that included a speech from Coun. Helen Fathers was held at 8 a.m. in recognition of the National Day of Mourning.
Last year in B.C., 121 workers died and more than 94,000 were injured as a result of a workplace injury, illness or disease. In White Rock, a 23-year-old died last May after being electrocuted while replacing gutters. In addition to commemorative ceremonies throughout the province, more than 68,000 B.C. workers at more than 600 workplaces wore decals to recognize
Day of Mourning. The day of remembrance was officially recognized by the federal government in 1991, eight years after being launched by the Canadian Labour Congress. It has since spread to about 80 countries. Businesses were asked to declare April 28 a Day of Mourning, and to strive to prevent workplace deaths and injuries.

Smoking ban may widen Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Public discontent about second-hand smoke is growing in Surrey, and nicotine-free areas may soon extend to civic parks and beaches. The city’s smoking bylaw was enacted on July 31, 2008. Since then, bylaw officers have received 41 complaints, with more than 80 per cent of those files (33) initiated this year. Of those complaints – mostly involving people smoking on restaurant patios – six people walked away with fines ranging from $500 to $750. Coun. Mary Martin, chair of the Mayor’s Task Force on Health,
was surprised by the numbers and said it’s something she’ll be watching closely. “Now that you’ve brought this to my attention, I’m certainly going to look at this six months from now,” Martin said Tuesday. She will also explore the idea of extending Surrey’s no-smoking areas to parks and beaches. “It’s going to come,” Martin said. She noted that the complaint numbers clearly indicate people are no longer tolerant of being subjected to second-hand smoke, “People are choked,” Martin said. “They’re very sensitive to the fact they don’t want to be
around second-hand smoke.” The current bylaw prohibits anyone from smoking within 7.5 metres of doorways, windows and air ducts. The city’s prohibitive distance is more than twice that required by the province (three metres). Delta has had a 10-metre no smoking zone since 2006. James Repace, a recipient of the U.S. Surgeon General’s Medallion for his work on second-hand smoke, determined 7.5 metres is the required distance to be from a smoker to remain safe from harm. Exposure to second-hand smoke kills approximately 100 people in B.C. each year

‘Angels’ watching crash victims Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Deas Island RCMP are “scratching our heads” over the degree of injuries suffered by the two drivers involved in the Highway 99 crash that snarled traffic for more than five hours last week. “The impact of what we observed was so much, the investigators thought we had very severe injuries or fatalities, and it turned out to be nothing like that at all,” Const. Trish Dobson said. “There’s little angels watching over those two.”
A 20-year-old man and a 51-year-old woman – both Surrey residents – suffered “lifethreatening but manageable” injuries in the afternoon crash, which occurred shortly after 2 p.m. on April 21. Dobson said investigation has determined it was caused when a southbound Honda Civic veered across the grass median into a northbound Volvo station wagon just south of the Highway 91 overpass. What remains unclear is why the Honda driver went off-
course. “We’re not sure at this time if it’s a person that’s fallen asleep, distracted or medical,” she said. Both drivers suffered “massive contusions” and lacerations; the 20-year-old, airlifted from the scene, also suffered fractured ribs and internal injuries. It took commuters caught in the resulting traffic snarl hours to navigate their way through. Dobson said Motor Vehicle Act charges are pending in connection with the crash. Investigation is ongoing.

New business aims to fill gaps left by funding cuts
Society expands with concierge service Hannah Sutherland

Staff Reporter
eing heavily reliant on outside funding and constantly subject to cutbacks, South Fraser Women’s Services Society is looking to take a stronger hold on its own future. The non-profit organization – which provides resources, services and support to women – has created a business, and plans to put expected profits towards its programming. “We decided that we needed to start looking at alternative sources of funding,” executive director Denise Darrell said. “We wanted to start having less reliance on government support.” South Fraser Concierge consists of five professional women – with backgrounds that range from cleaning to home decorating to computers – who provide home, senior support and errand services. “It’s meeting that gap for the isolated seniors or the professional whose busy,” Darrell said. For $25/hour, they offer everything from house cleaning/sitting, basic gardening and organizing closets or garages to patient drop off/pick up for medical appointments, grocery shopping and meal preparation assistance. “Concierge business means we can be whatever it is you need,” business development manager Lynn Sanderson said.

Group reaching out to aging population Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter
The Canadian Association of Retired Persons is trying to revitalize its image to include the new, younger aging population, including people who don’t necessarily fit the stereotype of retired seniors. Locally, White Rock resident Jack Mar has stepped up to the challenge of drawing CARP’s “new vision of aging in Canada” to the Peninsula. Earlier this year, Mar became chair of the ❝We are White Rock/ Surrey chapter, the voice which was on for social the brink of change.❞ disbanding. Jack Mar “The chapter has been in CARP limbo for about one year without any activity,” he said. “The chapter was starting to go into obscurity.” Worried about the future of the group and its approximately 1,500 members, the 73-year-old, who was already a board member, decided to take the helm. Mar said he can relate to the national organization’s push to appeal to zoomer, boomer and senior demographics. Although he retired from advertising and marketing in his

around 10 years ago, it was to take advantage of its benefits, such as travel discounts. He became a board member last summer, answering the call for
people to take on administrative roles. Mar now identifies CARP as an advocacy group that focuses on issues relating to those 45 and older, such as pension reform, health care and senior abuse. “These are issues that have been ongoing for us,” he said. “We are, and always have been, someone who protects the interests of the aging population.” With a new board behind him, Mar is looking to increase membership, activity and interest by hosting, and participating in, more community events. One such event will be held May 19 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at Rotary Field House, 14600 Rotary Way. The wine-and-cheese evening will feature guest speaker Susan Eng, CARP vice-president for advocacy, who will discuss pension reform and health care. Mar said it’s important for the local chapter to raise its profile, considering everything it stands for. “We are the voice for social change,” he said. “If this chapter became obsolete and disbanded, there would be no voice.” For more information about the May 19 event, contact April Lewis at 604-536-8717 or aprillewis@ telus.net.

arts & entertainment …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Modern take on old classic Maria Spitale
G
Black Press
eoffrey Chaucer’s classic collection of tales comes to life in the Semiahmoo Secondary drama department’s production of The Canterbury Tales from May 4 to 6. Written at the end of the 14th century, the stories surround a group of 20 travellers who set out for Canterbury – an ancient city in south east England. During their pilgrimage, they decide to have a storytelling contest, with the winner of the best tale receiving a prize. The poem was originally very long, so this is seven tales told in a modern story, explained Semiahmoo drama teacher Ashley Adamson. “It’s taking an old classic and making it interesting for a regular student or adult,” she said. “There are a lot of different stories about love
and monogamy. Some are as ridiculous as a rooster in love with a hen. Expect to be amused.” The entire cast takes on two or three characters, allowing each student to have an opportunity to shine. “They have improvised a lot of their own actions,” said Adamson. “All of the actors have a lot of energy.” Some of Semiahmoo’s other departments will also have an opportunity to showcase their talents during the show. The arts students will be painting a large mural that will be used as a backdrop, while the textiles department will be sewing some of the costumes. The Canterbury Tales runs from May 4 to 6 at 7 p.m at Semiahmoo Secondary, 1785 148 St. Tickets ($10) are available at the door.

Latest show at White Rock Gallery to exhibit moody, mystical work
Landscape artist fulfilling ‘lifelong compulsion’ Alex Browne Arts Reporter
The upcoming exhibition of paintings by Renato Muccillo at White Rock Gallery (Sunday, May 2, noon to 4 p.m., 1247 Johnston Rd.) is called Dusk to Dawn – with good reason. It’s just those hours of misty half light that are the Vancouver-born artist’s favourite time to paint – or capture reference photographs – for his moody, almost mystically atmospheric country landscapes. Muccillo, regularly featured at the gallery, has established a solid reputation with exquisitely rendered scenes – generally drawn from the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows area – and an eye for composition that give a symbolic edge to what, in others’ hands, might seem commonplace. And it’s the magical quality of light at the birth or waning hours of the day that lend a
Alex Browne photo
Renato Muccillo’s exhibition, Dusk to Dawn, will be at White Rock Gallery May 2. particular poignancy to scenes that might be passed by in broad daylight. “I could literally stand in the same spot every day and find something different,” he said. “It changes so much from day to day.” These are landscapes that not only invite
you in, but also, in their softly glowing, oblique lighting, inspire meditation both on nature and the deeper wonders of life itself. But Muccillo, whose home and studio are in Maple Ridge, is keenly aware, too, that the idyllic countryside that he paints in a style reminiscent of the Dutch masters and 19th century English painters is being encroached on all sides by 21st century residential and industrial development. Subtle hints of that encroachment have found their way into the dreamiest landscapes, but in the new exhibit, Muccillo shows he is able to confront it head-on as well, and even, in the bleakly angular shape of a power pole, find both symbolic and compositional interest. Landscape as a metaphor for life is central to his work, and, he suspects, its appeal to collectors. “We all look at these things and, subcon-
sciously, make these connections,” he said. “They may not be obvious, but they draw people to gravitate toward a landscape.” Among the artists Muccillo most draws inspiration from are the versatile and multidisciplinary German painter Gerhard Richter – equally at home with landscapes or abstraction (“He’s my artistic god,” he noted), plus 19th century American landscape master George Inness and his Russian contemporary Isaac Levitan. “There’s something very true about these paintings, not so much from a technical perspective, but from a deeper connection to their subjects – they speak of truth.” Muccillo admits to a lifelong compulsion to create art. “It was not a choice – it was what I was dealt,” he said. “As soon as I was old enough not to put paint in my mouth, I was putting it to paper and then canvas and board.”

One of the points in the Lyric Singers’ mission statement is to promote Canadian music compositions. So this weekend, when the 22-member choir comes to stage to mark its 15th anniversary, most of the pieces performed will be written by Canadian songwriters. “I think there are seven or eight composers and three of them are outsiders,” said publicist Peter Rahn. “The majority are Canadian.” Artistic director Nancy Rahn (Peter’s wife) also wanted to include pieces that fit with the theme of the show – the inspiration of women in our world. The group even commissioned a new work, Surge Illuminare Jerusalem, by Burnaby conductor Ramona Luengen, which will have its world premier at the performance, May 1, 7:30 p.m. at Holy Trinity Cathedral, 514 Carnarvon St., New Westminster. Tickets are available at Tapestry Music (1335 Johnston Rd. ) or by calling Peter at 604340-4353.

After one season in the Toronto Blue Jays system, pitcher Leon Boyd is back playing ball in Europe
Former Triton returns to ‘second home’ Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter
little over a year ago, White Rock’s Leon Boyd couldn’t have been happier with where his baseball career was going. As a member of the Dutch national team, the dual citizen and former White Rock Triton was fresh from a pair of thrilling upsets of the high-powered Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic, and the ink had barely dried on his first major-league contract, which he signed with the Toronto Blue Jays after playing well at the WBC. But now, after an up-and-down rookie season in the Jays’ minorleague system, Boyd finds himself back where his professional odyssey began three years ago – in Rotterdam, Netherlands, pitching for his old club, Door Neptunus. The 26-year-old pitcher, who spent the off-season training at Eastern New Mexico University

He was gled with his control – partly due pushed out by an influx of newly to a new pitching style, which was signed minor leaguers, whom the implemented by the Fisher Cats’ team signed in an attempt to fill pitching coach. the void created when “They transformed ace pitcher Roy Hallame into a submarine ❝I have no pitcher,” said Boyd, day was dealt to Philacomplaints – I’d who had previously delphia. “They had a gaping do it all again in a thrown with a sidehole in the pitching arm motion. “And heartbeat.❞ it was harder than I staff so they decided to Leon Boyd thought to find the sign about 20 triple-A pitcher (strike) zone... makcalibre pitchers,” Boyd explained this week from Rotterdam, where he’s settled in a two-bedroom apartment with a view of the city. “Many of these guys ended up being shuffled down to double-A, where they had me slated to start, and there were several top prospect relievers coming up. This pinched most of the double-A guys from last year out of jobs, me being one of them.”
ing the adjustment was hard and that’s what I struggled with. “If I hadn’t walked so many guys, I would have had excellent stats, and (the organization) bases a lot of decisions on stats from the previous year.” Boyd finished the season – which included a brief stint with the High-A division Dunedin Blue Jays – with a 1-6 won-loss record

and six saves in 44 appearances. He walked 49 and struck out 51 in 64.1 innings of work. However, the Earl Marriott Secondary grad doesn’t harbour any bitterness towards the team for cutting his North American pro career short. “I’m a pretty realistic guy, and I had a feeling this could happen, but I was just hoping they saw the potential I had to do great things,” he said. “I don’t blame the Jays at all. I realized last year how much of a business it is, and how guys come and go weekly.” And on the bright side, Boyd is thrilled to be back in the Netherlands – “my other home country” – where Neptunus has stormed out of the gate with an 8-0 record to start the season. He’ll also be converted back to a starting pitcher, as opposed to the reliever he was with the Jays. “Being back here is bittersweet. I’d obviously still rather have my shot at the big leagues, but since

It’s mostly the same group of guys, and a great group, at that.” If another Major League Baseball team comes calling, Boyd said he’d be willing to listen, but he’s also just as happy to plant his cleats firmly in the Netherlands. “If I had an opportunity again in the next year or two I would jump on it, but that window is closing by the day – I’m an old man in baseball terms now. It’s just a matter of getting that shot again.” he said. “But with everything that’s happened the last few years – from the highs to the struggles – I’ve just taken everything in stride. “I’m tired of living out of my bags, but I have no complaints – I’d do it all again in a heartbeat.” Prime Real Estate for Savvy Investors

Vipers win Coastal Cup The Semiahmoo U16 Silver A Vipers beat the North Shore Storm 1-0 in Langley April 18 to win the Coastal Classic Cup. In the first half, Viper Sarah Unger was fouled on a dangerous scoring chance inside the Storm box, and Michaela Jillings converted the penalty shot, which held up as the only goal of the game for either team. Despite constant pressure from Ellena Benacchio, Lucy Cilliars, Kelsey McDonald, Unger and Jillings, the Vipers weren’t able to convert any more opportunities. The midfield has been the Vipers’ strength all year, and, led by Olivia Hadden, Katie Brown, Kim Fong, Hayley Pederson and Olivia Gerow, they dominated the first-half possession and controlled the ball throughout most of the game. The Semiahmoo Vipers’ defence, led by Claire Cameron, Melyssa Martin, Maddy Kerr and Hayley Price, stopped numerous second-half surges from the Storm to preserve the win. Any North Shore Storm scoring opportunities were stopped by Vipers’ goalie Heidi Gulka to preserve the shutout. Jillings was awarded the game MVP for her efforts. Led by coaches Gord Pederson and Ken

after two, but a pair of three-run innings – the third and the fifth – put the Tritons over the top. Tony Tabor and Spencer Dolphin each had doubles, while Shaylen Buis had a pair of doubles and two RBI. The speedy Tritons were also successful on the base paths, with six stolen bases – from Nathan Trueblood, Tabor, Ethan Cornfield, Mike Matthews, Evan Douglas and Brett Walker. On the mound, Tanner Sandstrom went the distance for White Rock, striking out six North Shore batters while walking just two over seven innings of work. The win evened Sandstrom’s pitching record at 1-1, and bumped the Tritons’ overall mark to 4-8 on the season. Earlier Sunday, the Twins defeated White Rock 6-3. On Saturday, White Rock dropped a pair of games to the Langley Jr. Blaze, 6-2 and 4-0.

Svensson started the final round in third place, but carded a twounder-par 69 Sunday – a round which included three birdies and just one bogey – to finish four-under in the three-round event. His total score of 209 (72-68-69) edged Wilson Bateman of Spruce Grove, Alta. for the title. “My game plan for today was to play aggressive, stay calm and put the pressure on,” said Svensson. “I don’t think I played my best out there today, but I ended up getting the job done.” Prior to his victory in Tsawwassen, Svensson was runner-up at the Toyota Junior Golf World Cup sectional qualifiers April 16 in Mexico. He’ll now play in the World Cup in Japan later this year.
