Volunteer group advised owners
Strata helpers to end years of service Alex Browne Staff Reporter
A free resource for condo owners throughout B.C. is shutting its doors. Pacific Condominium Association president Rita Enns confirmed last week that the South Surrey-based volunteer organization is closing, following an initial decision reached at its annual general
Hazy days of summer
meeting in May. “We’re winding up the association and hope to have it done by December,” Enns said, noting the organization is still fielding calls from strata members. “The problem is that it’s a lot of work and current members weren’t able to volunteer – we couldn’t get anybody to offer any time.” Enns noted that the organization, which
operated out of an office in the Sutton Realty Building on 24 Avenue, has suffered from the aging of its 140 members with sufficient expertise to assist people with interpretation of the Strata Property Act and its regulations, or in forming new strata councils, organizing seminars or resolving disputes. “But even young people can’t commit to
volunteering – they don’t have that much time,” she said. Enns said the Condominium Home Owners Association, based in New Westminster, is still providing similar services, but to paid members only. “We would help people whether they were members or not… We felt it was important to help people with their problems.”

Temporary relocation of bus layover frustrates White Rock merchants
Business owners fume over lost parking stalls Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter
The relocation of a bus layover from North Bluff Road to the 1500-block of Foster Street has angered some White Rock businesses who have lost parking spaces as a result. Six parking stalls have been affected by the move, and Norma Ann Eaton – whose hair salon is across the street from the new layover – said the loss has a tremendous impact on the small businesses that depend on them.
“We’re all relying on these parking stalls, The construction period is two months, which weren’t enough to begin with,” Eaton Rob Thompson said, and the city is in dissaid, noting she pays the same cussions with the City of Suramount of taxes as businesses ❝You’re driving the small rey about a new, permanent that have parking spaces. businessmen right out of location for the layover. “That’s what we pay for, is the White Rock, into Surrey.❞ In the meantime, a space privilege of having parking.” had to be allocated for up to Norma Ann Eaton The relocation is temporary three buses at a time to break while North Bluff undergoes road improve- at the end of their run, before going on to pick ments, according to the City of White Rock’s up passengers on 152 Street. director of engineering. “I worked with the bus company to find a

Public safety minister wants taxpayers to know how their money is spent
Toews drops by for a show of force Alex Browne Staff Reporter
It was a show of criminal weaponry and smuggling ingenuity – and a show of the new technology and increased efficiency with which the Canada Border Services Agency hopes to defeat it. But most of all, federal Public Safety Minister Vic Toews’ visit to the Pacific Highway Commercial Operations port of entry Friday – as he freely admitted – was a show for the media.

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts was released from Peace Arch Hospital Monday, 2½ weeks after fracturing her back in a horseriding accident in the Interior. Watts was trail riding outside of Kamloops on July 23, when her horse began to gallop. She landed hard in the saddle, suffering compression fractures in the two bones in her back. Watts slumped off the horse, falling onto the rear of another horse and then to the ground. A CT scan and a subsequent MRI has shown there was no nerve damage. Watts will spend an Dianne Watts undetermined mayor time at home recovering from her injury. At just after 1:11 p.m. Monday, she posted on Twitter that she was now out of the hospital. “Have now been released from hospital to begin rehabilitation,” Watts tweeted. “A huge thanks to the health-care professionals who took such good care of me.” Coun. Linda Hepner has been in contact with Watts, and said the mayor could hear the crunch in her back when it fractured. When asked whether the accident would preclude her from any of next year’s rodeo events, Hepner said no: “We’re going to keep her in the bed races.”
Woman out after fatal stabbing A 38-year-old woman taken into custody after a fatal stabbing in Cedar Hills last weekend has been released while police attempt to determine what transpired. At just after 2 a.m. Sunday, RCMP received a call of an incident in the 12100-block 96A Avenue. Mounties found a 53-yearold man dead outside his home. A Surrey woman was then taken into custody. Police said Monday they released the woman while the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team determines what roles each of them played leading to the fatality. RCMP Sgt. Peter Thiessen said police are not looking for another suspect in the stabbing. Police identified the deceased, but aren’t releasing his name until his family is notified.

Poles relocated for safety Work to move utility poles out of the roadway along North Bluff Road between Foster Street and Stayte Road is to get underway next week. Construction is to begin Aug. 15, and is expected to finish within two months. According to a city report, the $417,427 (excluding HST) bid by Imperial Paving Ltd. is the lowest of three submitted, and came in at more than $350,000 less than a consulting engineer estimated the project would cost. Funds for improvements between Stayte Road and Martin Street are included in the city’s 2011
Capital Works Program. The work is to include reconstructing the road base and replacing sections of curb and gutter to “skirt� the utility poles. City officials acknowledged in April that positioning of the poles was contributing to dangerous conditions for pedestrians and motorists alike. ICBC statistics noted the block between Foster Street and Johnston Road alone logged more than 200 “vehicle incidents� between 2006 and 2010. While the initial project scope included replacing existing overhead wiring with underground wiring, that aspect has been abandoned.
Businesses critical of city’s plans from page 1 on the west side of the street, just to the north and south of the layover. The city has also suggested customers park in Miramar Tower, but Eaton said the distance is burdensome for her and neighbouring businesses’ clients, most of whom are elderly. Eaton, as well as denturist Peter Hodson and massage therapist Susan Tucker, expressed confusion over the city’s decision to put the layover across from their businesses, which is the only block on Foster that doesn’t have parking on both sides of the street. What is even more frustrating, Eaton said, is there weren’t any buses using the layover last week, days after no-parking signs were put up. “You slap us in the face and put that up before any buses come? There’s no respect given to our businesses.� Thompson said the signs went up Aug. 2 “to get things ready.� “We have to get people accustomed to those spaces being reserved for the bus layover,� he

Anyone concerned by the changes can speak to him directly, Thompson added. Eaton said she took her concerns to the White Rock Business Improvement Association, to no avail.
“We have a mandatory business association that’s done absolutely nothing to stop it.� The BIA did not return calls by Peace Arch News’ press deadline. Eaton said she isn’t optimistic a meeting with Thompson would improve the situation, as any changes would have to be approved by council, which doesn’t meet again until midSeptember. The city should be working with small businesses to find solutions to problems – such as removing an unnecessary boulevard outside her salon to make room for parking, Eaton said. As it is, Eaton said she is struggling to compete with Surrey businesses. “We have to pay double the taxes and belong to a mandatory association; Surrey, half a block away, doesn’t have to pay any of that, and they’re not getting any of their parking taken away,� she said. “You’re driving the small businessmen right out of White Rock, into Surrey. “We all love the name White Rock but we pay dearly for it.�

End of an Era Retirement Sale
Referendum results expected later this month
HST ballot count underway Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – The fate of B.C.’s harmonized sales tax should be known by the end of August. Elections BC officials briefed reporters Thursday on the final collection and counting of ballots for the HST referendum. Acting chief electoral officer Craig James said the target is to release results by the original date of Aug. 25, despite a strike and lockout at Canada Post that delayed distribution. If there is a large return rate from the three million ballot packages that were mailed out, the results could take a few days longer, James said. All mailed envelopes received at the Canada Post collection warehouse in Vancouver by the referendum deadline of 4:30 p.m. last Friday were to be accepted for counting by Elections BC. At the HST collection centre that has been open in Semiahmoo Shopping Centre since June 13, workers met a “steady” flow of voters on the final day of the provincial referendum. The location was already busy by mid-morning Friday, and staff members anticipated more ballots by the time the centre closed. Elections BC will have 70 people working in two shifts to verify and count the ballots. Each one will be checked against the voter’s list, and a random selection of 6,000 voters will be phoned to confirm that they sent in their ballots. Elections BC plans to release the turnout for B.C.’s second-ever mail-in ballot next week, along with details of how many requests for replacement ballots were received. More than 14,000 people registered to vote so they could take part. James said delays in getting through to the Elections BC call centre were caused mainly by the fact that as many as half the callers were phoning

Time to start thinking about civic election
M
ore than halfway through summer, most of us aren’t thinking too much about the fall and this November’s municipal election. But if you’re pondering running as a candidate in your community, the weeks are running out for you to begin planning your campaign. Judging by recent elections – White Rock’s last general civic election being the exception, with 23 councillor candidates in 2008 – most municipalities are in dire need of more names on the ballot to spark interest among voters. If you care about where you live and want to make a difference in even one aspect of your community, consider putting your name forward as a candidate for council, school board or mayor. Qualifications are far from onerous. If you’re 18 or older, a Canadian citizen and have lived in B.C., you’re pretty much OK to run. You’ll need to keep track of electionrelated expenses and contributions and have at least two people willing to nominate you. There are a few other rules to know if you do get serious about running. It’s also a good idea to understand that life can seem crazy once everyone’s on the campaign trail. Traditionally, municipal election season kicks into full gear after Labour Day. The thinking is that most of us can’t be bothered to ponder the issues affecting our communities when the weather’s warm and we’re busy planning upcoming holidays or invites to backyard barbecues. We’re a little more willing to do our civic duty and tune into local issues once the kids are back in school and summer vacation is behind us. Make no mistake though, savvy politicians know they’ll have to hit the ground running once we return to the routines that signal September’s arrival. If you’ve ever thought about participating in politics, now is the time to make sure you’re ready when the silly season arrives.

79 responding reason. This is the road that leads to Greece, where tax evasion is considered a civil right along with fat pay and pensions. The same population expects to go to university at little or no cost until they’re 30, and then retire at 55, with the whole apparatus somehow held up by the dwindling band of workers in between. The latest contract demands of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation give a sense of their Greece-like isolation from reality. Lengthy paid leaves, yet more paid professional development days, oh, and a double-digit wage increase after the rest of the public service has accepted zero. I attended the recent BCTF convention in Victoria, where this entitlement culture was on display. During a news conference about the BCTF’s many demands, someone stood behind Education Minister George Abbott and held up a sign for TV cameras that demanded “No Tankers.” This was no campus radical slipped in from the street. It was a middle-aged BCTF delegate, one of many decrying the industrial economy we need to pay for their pensions. B.C. aspires to be a shipbuilding economy but it can’t do shipping? According to our public sector union elites, we’re too precious to allow oil tankers in B.C.? Apparently some have still failed to notice that oil tankers have been going up and down the coast for decades, and back and forth under the Lion’s Gate Bridge for years.

letters Peace Arch News
Well worth waking up Editor: Re: Losing sleep over crime, Aug. 4. I read with interest the letter recently complaining about the use of the RCMP Air One helicopter in apprehending three suspected auto thieves in the White Rock-South Surrey area. I, for one, am grateful of this resource and persistence by the police in apprehending these people. When comparing the loss of my sleep on a rare occasion, to getting up for work to find my car stolen, the answer comes easy. Ron Eves, Surrey
Animal intrusion Editor: I have grown up in the White Rock area my whole life. I now have a family of my own and make going down and spending the day at the beach part of our family life, no matter the season. We try to support the community as much as possible. Although after the recent long weekend at the beach, I have become fed up. There are always many bylaw officers walking the parking lot checking the ticket dispensers, but I have never seen a bylaw office actually walking the promenade. If they did, I bet they would be surprised at how many dogs they would come across. No matter what time of year – although noticeably worse in the summer – there are always people walking their dogs along the promenade. The signs that are posted are minuscule in comparison to the parking rules. I think it is time to have officers get out of their vehicles and take strolls, or increase the amount and size of signs. Walk dogs at dog parks, not at a public walking promenade. Teresa McKenzie, Surrey Q Horse poop! At the many entrances to the Boundary Bay dykes are signs reminding me that I will be subject to fines if I do not clean up after my dog. Hmmm… let me see now – I am fined for a small amount of poop left on the trail, while horse riders are able to leave large amounts of horse manure with apparently no consequences. We have been hiking and biking around B.C., and you can be sure that on trails and roads close to horse stables, the poop piles are everywhere. With the arrival of a new stables close to the dykes, we now have to put up with the horse poop there as well. I am sick and tired of having to walk/bike around these piles, while I, as a dog owner, am expected to pick up after my dogs. It’s time that horse riders learnt
the meaning of clean up, and started riding with a bag attached to their horses. The manure piles are ugly, smelly, unsanitary and should not be allowed. Maggie McLean, Surrey
Public display indeed vulgar Editor: Re: Kwantlen professor calls Pride Parade ‘vulgar,’ Aug. 4. Some say this is a form of bigotry. Not so. I agree with Shinder Purewal that the Vancouver Pride Parade is vulgar. I am surprised it has been allowed to show so much nudity and sexuality and nothing has been done to stop it. If any other group were to show only a fraction of this indecency in their parade, they would have been
stopped immediately. It seems minority groups often are able to do things that the rest of society are not able to legally do. Another example is of a certain group often playing the ‘racism card’ in order to get what they want. They wish to be treated as equals, as they should be. Unfortunately, there are some who feel their rights should go beyond that of the general public. Kathy Heitzmann, Surrey
Reasons for riotous acts Editor: Many weeks have gone by, and the Vancouver hockey riot is still in the news. Who knows what was in the minds of these hooligans as they inflicted huge damage on an
innocent community? Thinking back to an experience of my own… it was the early 1940s; the Second World War was getting down and dirty. One day, as I made my way home from high school, a few kids decided to “riot.” They busted open a boarded-up Italian cafe and ice cream shop and looted the entire stock. My personal share of the loot: two chocolate bars. Glasgow people, being as they are, took up a collection and reimbursed the nice Scots-Italian family. Years later, I asked myself why did I get involved; why did anyone get involved? As I remember, it may have had something to do with the fact that Italy has just declared war on Great Britain and that they had joined sides with the Germans, who were keeping us all awake most nights bombing the hell of of the Clydeside. That’s my excuse; what was theirs? George D. McAbney, Surrey

The City of White Rock should be expanded beyond its borders to include South Surrey, says Coun. Grant Meyer.
Divisions within our community Editor: Re: South Surrey urged to join White Rock, Aug. 4. White Rock Coun. Grant Meyer must have been writing to me. He almost used my exact address when he said, “I think I’d feel bad if I were living at 192 Street and 8 Avenue and had to go all that way to deal with the city.” With the gutting of South Surrey to bail out the mess in North Surrey, I do feel disenfranchised by Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts and council promoting a strange top-heavy agenda to “save” North Surrey. It’s just thumbing their nose at me. It’s as featherheaded as placing concentrated development under power lines in Grandview Heights. A functioning city hall has to be placed miles from me with no corresponding attention to even minimal transit? I hope to contribute to Meyers’ vision, even though Watts dreams northward. This subject warrants continued consideration. W. Pratt, Surrey
Head in the clouds Coun. Grant Meyer must be dreaming. White Rock residents pay more in taxes and get in return a council that has so little regard for them it allows a developer to put up two – probably soon four – of the ugliest buildings that have ever disgraced a nice little seaside town, and visible not only from across the bay but as far away as Aldergrove. Dream on, Coun. Meyer, before I’ll vote to join your city. P. van den Bosch, Surrey
Powerless play Just exactly who is urging South Surrey to join White Rock? It must be some sad individual who has the mistaken belief that having a White Rock address makes them superior. I can just see the thousands of South Surrey residents banging on our gates – “Let me in! Let me in! I don’t care if my taxes are higher, I want to say I live in White Rock!” Seems to me there is as much or even more cachet to living in Ocean Park or Crescent Beach, so would those residents also want to pay even higher taxes and get less services? I don’t think so. Coun. Grant Meyer speaks of the “rampant growth in Surrey” as being a factor in the desire to join White Rock. To state White Rock has slower, steadier growth patterns is patently false. Take a look around. Our growth is every bit as rampant and we have neither the space nor the infrastructure that Surrey has to accommodate it. Yes. November and elections will be here soon. Meyer’s last election platform centred on an Amtrak train stop in White Rock, something he had no power to influence, in any way. Had he done any homework, he would not have been surprised when the idea fell flat on its face. Since few legitimate ideas have emanated from his council seat, it appears Meyer, in looking for an election issue, will be tossing out a bunch of trial balloons to see where he might hang his hat this time around. I would hope that, whatever he chooses, it will be something he can honestly say is within his power to bring into being. Come now. Do you really think we are all that gullible? Margaret Woods, White Rock

Manmeet Singh looked confident and unfazed as he was ushered into the glass prisoner’s box in Surrey Provincial Court Friday morning, his arms crossed as he made his second court appearance since the death of his wife last week. Wearing orange prison garb, the dark-haired 26-year-old glanced around the courtroom before speaking to legal counsel through a space in the glass and being led back into custody. From the gallery, a dozen friends of Ravinder Bhangu watched him come and go, their faces sullen, still grief-stricken about Bhangu’s gruesome daytime murder the week before. Outside court, they said the 24-year-old victim had no immediate family living in Canada and that her parents, brother and possibly other Ravinder Bhangu family members would be travelling from India sometime next week. Bhangu and Singh had been married since 2009, but had reportedly been separated since April. On July 28 at about 11 a.m., Bhangu was stabbed to death at the Sach Di Awaaz Newspaper office near 128 Street and 82 Avenue. Singh was arrested at the scene Manmeet Singh and is charged with first-degree murder in relation to Bhangu’s death. He also faces two other assault charges pertaining to injuries suffered by a man who attempted to intervene in the attack on Bhangu. Singh’s next court date is scheduled for Aug. 26. Last Wednesday (Aug. 3), about 250 people attended a candlelight vigil in honour of Bhangu at the Vedic Hindu Cultural Society at 8321 140 St. Pinda Sidhu is a member of the dance studio where Bhangu volunteered. He remembers her as an extremely kind and quiet individual, who didn’t bring her home life to work. Three months ago, his wife asked Bhangu how things were going at home and the woman broke into tears. “She just started crying, she didn’t want to talk that much,� Sidhu recalls. Sidhu said the crowd was upset with continued domestic violence in the community. “A lot happens in Surrey,� Sidhu said. Surrey Coun. Barinder Rasode was also at the event and said she heard the same message from the public. She noted a key plank in Surrey’s Crime Reduction Strategy is an end to domestic violence and the city continues two work toward that goal.

TransLink urged to clarify tax-and-spend plan he said, the supplement would effectively collapse and TransLink wouldn’t deliver its $400-million share of the $1.2-billion Evergreen Line linking Burnaby, Port Moody and Coquitlam. TransLink spokesperson Erin McConnell said the proposed supplement will be revised in light of Crilly’s comments to show the order in which future transit upgrades would proceed if the extra sources don’t materialize. That could open up new splits between the region’s politicians depending on how the priorities are phased. Some projects – like express bus routes on King George Boulevard and Highway 1 through Surrey and a LangleyWhite Rock route – would enhance southof-Fraser service, while more frequent SeaBus runs would appeal to the North Shore.

appropriate place to learn bridge – Youngberg suggests checking out White Rock Leisure Services for introductory lessons – it is a great resource for those wanting to learn a different variation of the game. In duplicate, the same hand is played at other tables, which reduces the ‘luck’ factor and reveals players’ true skills by
allowing them to compare results. “I like the exercise of the brain,” player Valerie Wilson said. “And you’re learning all the time.” Not only is the game stimulating, but it offers an opportunity to socialize, fellow player Shirley Laidlan said. “It’s a very friendly environment, and we’re trying to keep it that way.”
For the club’s co-director, John Demeulemeester, the game’s draw is simple. “It’s something that’s fun for people to play, and it’s fun whether you’re a new player or (experienced) one.” And there is always room for improvement, Youngberg added. “The beauty of this is it’s so much fun to see people learn and have fun in the process,” she said, noting bridge can also take players’ minds off any troubles in life. “It’s really good therapy in so many ways.” Duplicate Lite is held Thursdays from 9:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. at St. Mark’s Anglican Church, 12953 20 Ave. Cost is $7, which includes hand records, coffee and snacks. The club will also be offering a three-lesson program, Introduction to Duplicate, starting Sept. 8 for $20.

Cloverdale’s own Ironman ran through town late last month during his fundraising battle against sexual exploitation. Veteran paramedic Will Rogers, 52, passed through Cloverdale on July 21 as he neared the finish line on his 1,000 km trek – this leg a 490 km run from Penticton to Victoria – in support of the Servants Anonymous Society of Surrey (SAS). He also swam the Georgia Strait from Galliano to Tsawassen on June 27 (that’s 24 km), and biked from Victoria to Penticton over the Canada Day long weekend (another 490 km).

The free program – which will see children participate in a full-day of realistic police training as Junior Police Constables – will be held Aug. 15-19 in North Surrey, Guildford, Newton, Cloverdale and South Surrey. The children attend classes in drill instruction, crime-scene investigation and physical-fitness testing. Children also experience a police-dog demonstration and are given the opportunity to examine police ATVs and general-duty police vehicles. Each participant receives a Junior Police Academy T-shirt and a hot lunch. The Surrey RCMP has been providing the opportunity in partnership with City of Surrey since 2004. “We want to continue the fun and positive environment established

lifestyles SOAR camp offers chance for girls to feed baby heifers at UBC research centre
Guides learn science behind dairy farming Jessica Peters
C
Black Press
alf number 1073 snores dreamily in her stall at the UBC Dairy Research Centre. Her hair is unkempt, curly and wet. Her front legs are tucked under its body, which is rising and falling with each breath. She curls up more and falls into an even deeper sleep, ignoring the gaggle of girls watching her from outside the stall. Weighing in at a healthy 37 kilograms, this little black and white creature is the newest calf on the working Agassiz dairy farm. She’s only 12 hours old. And for that, she gets the biggest oohs and ahhs from a small group of girls and their leaders touring the centre late last month as part of Dairy Divas, a program designed to draw in some of the 1,400 Guides and Pathfinders attending the Spirit of Adventure Rendezvous (SOAR) camp. “Awww... She’s not even a day old,” one girl sighs. They wonder why the baby isn’t mooing, calling for milk like calves in other pens. Their tour guide, a student working at the dairy centre, explains she already fed the calf four litres of milk in the middle of the night. That’s a lot of milk
for a brand new calf, and she’s sleeping off the splurge. “She’s pretty full,” she tells the girls, who pull out their cameras to capture images of the young, sleepy heifer. They move on to another row of pens, where the cows are wide awake, a few days older and definitely hungry. The girls are given milk bottles equipped with plastic ‘udders,’ to carry out the best job of all – feeding two of the heifers, Henrietta and Gummy Bear. The pair eats greedily, pushing their faces against the bottles, spilling milk, and jumping with joy. The girls laugh. “I’m so happy I took Dairy Divas now,” says Alexa Davis, a member of the 2nd Cloveridge Guides. For Alexis Roscoe, from the Ruby Creek #36 troop in Surrey, feeding calves is a thrill, but nothing new. “They always have calves in the barn at the PNE,” she says, adding that kids can feed them during demonstrations at the fair. But the whole feeding process begs the girls’ question – where are the moms? They learn all the calves are separated from their mothers shortly after birth. It’s easier on both, and gives the calves a cleaner environment to live in. But it’s not the end of the
mother and calf bond. Mother’s milk, colostrum, is still fed to the calves for their first few feedings. And because they need to measure the amount of colostrum a calf is getting, they feed the cows pasteurized milk. Measuring milk intact is just one of the many jobs at UBC’s WestGen Calf Research Centre. Here, they’re not just breeding cows for the purpose of producing milk. They’re breeding for science discovery, with the goal of improving both the dairy industry and the general health of cattle. And this is what the Guides are visiting the Research Centre to learn. They measure cow behavior, running various experiments to see how small changes affect the cow’s moods. And when they were done in the barn, the Guides moved onto the classroom to learn about calcium – the great dairy connection. Registered dietician Rola Zahr spoke to the girls about the importance of dairy products, or fortified soy products, to improve and maintain bone health. The day ended with a treat – a yogurt smoothie made with raspberries grown next door at the Pacific Agricultural Research Centre.

Joint Ownership I am often asked if I think it is a good idea for elderly parents, especially those who are now single, to put the bulk of their assets into joint names with 1 or more of their children in order to avoid probate and the approximately 1.4% fee on the value of the parent’s estate at the time of death. The answer is not simply “yes” or “no” because while it is almost always better to pay less fees or tax, placing assets into joint names with one or more of a person’s children can have unexpected costs and can create more problems for the parent than the relatively small savings realized in avoiding probate fees. For example, placing an adult child(ren) on a parent’s bank or investment account could result in the child accessing the funds for his/her own purposes, or could expose the account to attachment by a creditor of the child.

Similarly, a parent’s home held jointly with a child can expose the child’s interest to a charge by a creditor of that child, possibly even by a separating or divorcing spouse of the child. Another potential problem with jointly held real estate is that the fractional interest registered in the child’s name may lose the capital gains exempt status for income tax purposes because that part is not the child’s principal residence. Over a long period or in a rapidly rising real estate market the loss of the exempt status could result in income tax far in excess of the 1.4% probate fees. Some of the other issues which might arise from joint ownership include: - loss of control over your property

- reduced value of estate so as to defeat speciÀc bequests - reduction of Executor’s fees based on a percentage of the deceased’s estate (wouldn’t include assets held jointly). Accordingly, joint ownership to avoid probate isn’t for everyone. I strongly recommend that you discuss with your lawyer the pros and cons of placing any of your assets into joint tenancy with someone other than your spouse.

the scene …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Karaoke champion Surrey songstress Jerrica Santos has earned a spot at a contest considered the Olympics of singing after out-crooning 19 other competitors at a national karaoke contest last week. Santos was awarded the top female grand champion after belting out Hopelessly Devoted to You at the Canadian National Karaoke Championships, held at Edgewater Casino in Vancouver on July 21. Her prizes included a oneyear gold membership to MeAndMic.com, vocal training from RSA Academy and a JM-5 entertainment station from Roland Canada. She will now travel to Killarney, Ireland to the 2011 Karaoke World Championships in September. Her airfare, accommodation and $500 spending money has also been provided. In 2004, Santos made it to the top 32 of Canadian Idol.
Simon King His mother Ellie may have helmed the current Royal Canadian Theatre Company production, A Bedfull of Foreigners, at Coast Capital Playhouse, but Simon King is presenting a very different kind of comedy this Saturday (Aug. 13, 9:30 p.m.) at Slainte By The Pier on Marine Drive. The stand up comedian, who has been featured at the TBS Las Vegas festival, on HBO, on the CBC and on CTV’s Comedy Now, is one of two national touring headliners featured in the show, part of The Sundowner Stand Up Comedy Tour. Also starring will be Brett Martin (HBO, CTV’s Comedy Now, XM Satellite Radio and the National Comedy Club.) White Rock comedian John Cullen will MC the evening, which comes with a warning of ‘adult language.’ Tickets ($15) are available from the restaurant, or by calling 778-294-0066.

Wilde at the winery The wise and witty words of Oscar Wilde will return to the Surrey-Langley area Aug. 12 and 13 when his play An Ideal Husband is presented by Township 7 Vineyards and Winery, 21152 16 Ave. (at 212 Street) Langley. A co-production of the winery and Twisted Tree Theatre/ Bare Bones Productions, the local presentation follows performances of the play at Township 7’s Naramata winery in the Okanagan in July and early August – themselves a follow-up to a successful teaming of winery and theatre company last year to present Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest. An Ideal Husband, first produced in London in 1895, is a late Victorian comedy revolves around sex, blackmail and political corruption. Spanning a 24-hour period in the lives of a successful politician, his wife, friends and family, the play mixes farce and morality with a liberal sprinkling of witticisms, exposing the social conventions – and hypocrisy – of the times. Wilde himself was no stranger to scandal: his name was actually removed from the play several months after the premiere, when his notoriously unconventional
as Karak, hotel caretaker of indeterminate nationality and no apparent job skills. The sly, slothful Karak – it’s clear – excels only as a bribe-extracting conman, and Peterman mines the character for all its comedic potential. Bret Harrison has his share of strong moments as Heinz, the hotel’s reluctant, Austrian-Swiss manager. He invests the failed medical student – whose downfall is a roving eye – with a floppyhaired, stiff-jointed awkwardness that reaches its peak in Heinz’ attempt to perform a song-anddance number from an early German talkie. Nicole Smashnuk, as Stanley’s neurotic wife, is effective in her quieter moments, particularly whenever Brenda is almost swayed by the clumsy passes of the randy Heinz, though her rapport with the audience is sometimes undermined by a tendency to shriek at the least provocation, rather than a more subtle depiction of Brenda’s irrationality. Similarly, Becky Hachey’s extravagant postures as Claude’s ‘bit on the side’ approach surreal cartoonishness, when saucy is really all that’s called for. But her sledgehammer delineation of Simone does succeed in driving the plot and much of the insanity at key points in the second act. A Bedfull of Foreigners continues until Aug. 28.

Blues By The Sea Summer Music at the Spirit Stage, a concert series masterminded by Phil Q. Davey of Q Sound, in collaboration with the Semiahmoo First Nation, will continue Saturdays in Semiahmoo Park (on Marine Drive) throughout the summer. Coming up on Aug. 13, in collaboration with the ubiquitous White Rock Blues Society, is Blues By The Sea. Advancing the proposition that ‘the blues’ has more to offer than a single chord progression, the concert will include contemporary electric blues from Sean ‘Blues Puppy’ Riquelme (2:30 p.m.); the Piedmont style blues of David ‘Boxcar’ Gates (3:15 p.m.); the traditional blues and jump jive of Harpdog Brown and the Original
Bloodhounds (5:15 p.m.); plus the rockabilly and traditional gut bucket blues of Butch Murphy and the Bloody Miracles (5:30 p.m.). Concluding the day will be the powerhouse punch of the phenomenal Brickhouse, house band at the Yale for years, but now focusing on original material (7 p.m.). Tickets for series events are available from the Surrey Arts Centre box office, 604-501-5566. For more information call 604538-2951.
Accomplice auditions White Rock Players Club is auditioning actors for it’s upcoming season opener, Accomplice, by Rupert Holmes, a nothing-is-what-it-seems English country house thriller with a multiplicity of unexpected plot twists. Director David Lloyd Austin seeks two females 30-40 years, two males 30-40, and one male 40-50. Auditions – based on cold readings from the script – will be held Sunday, Aug. 21 at 7:30 p.m. at the Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd, with callbacks Monday, Aug. 29. The play itself will run Oct. 12 to 29 at the theatre. For more information, call producer Dave Carroll at 604531-7739.

In addition to Sunday night concerts with such emerging local groups as Their There, The Star Captains and Behind Sapphire, music booker Rory Hislop has added a Monday night jazz showcase, including some of Vancouver’s best up and coming talents in the idiom, which is currently experiencing a revival of interest. Among artists that have graced – or will grace this series – are guitarist Tristan Paxton, bassist James Meger, drummer Omar Amlani and trumpeter Steve An. Both evenings (usually running 5-9 p.m.) offer a rewarding opportunity for local fans to catch up on the music scene of tomorrow in an agreeably intimate, art-friendly venue. For more information, call 778294-1237.
Swing dancing The weekly swing dance session presented by South Surrey’s Marie and Peter Welton, of Jump Joint Swing, has switched days from Sundays to every Wednesday (during August) 7 to 11 p.m. at 110-12332 Pattullo Place (in the back of the Pro Draft warehouse, next to Xcalibur Bowling, in North Surrey).

The
Professionals fessionals On The Peninsula The breakthrough new way to SCULPT YOUR BODY! How it works: As temperatures plunge, fat cells freeze long before muscle, skin or any other tissue does! Zeltiq Coolsculpting takes advantage of this by chilling fat deposits to around 45 degrees. “Damaged, frozen fat cells can’t be repaired by the body, so they’re smoothing out even stubborn fat pads within two to four months” says dermatologist Mark S. Nestor, M.D., Director of the Center for Cosmetic Enhancement in Miami, Florida. And specific troublespots can be easily targeted! What to expect: Zeltiq Coolsculpting takes about one hour per treated area. Since no anaesthetics, needles, or incisions are needed you can head back to your normal activities right away; there is no downtime. Treated areas tend to look red and feel a bit stiff for about 20 minutes, and some patients experience temporary bruising, numbness, or tenderness.

White Rock battled back with four wins on final day
Senior Renegades win national crown Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
For the second consecutive year, the White Rock Renegades are senior women’s Canadian fastpitch champions, after beating the Whitby Eagles 6-3 Sunday in rainy Montreal. “It was a really good weekend. Most of these girls have played together a long time, so it was a great accomplishment for them,” said White Rock coach Wayne King. It was no easy victory, however, espe-

girls.” Prior to the win over Whitby Sunday, the Renegades got a measure of revenge over Calahoo, beating them 2-1 in semifinals. Courtney O’Connor, playing second base, had the hot bat for White Rock, going 3-for-3 at the plate, with one RBI. The winning run crossed the plate in the bottom of the sixth inning when Kelsey Haberl singled in Kyla Myre. Nicole Sidor pitched all seven frames for see page 23

Pitt Meadows golfer Kevin Kwon dominated the field at Canadian Junior Boys Golf Championships last week at Morgan Creek Golf Course, finishing 11 strokes better than the next closest competitor. Kwon, whose home course is Swan-eSet Bay Resort, shot three of four rounds in the 60s (71-65-67-69) to finish Friday with a 16-under-par 272 score; secondplace golfer Richard Jung, of Toronto, was five-under. “I never dreamed I could beat this type of field by that much,” Kwon said in a release. “I’ve won by big margins, but not this kind of tournament. This is the highlight of my career so far.” Kwon’s score was also 18 strokes better than the second-place juvenile-division golfer – Surrey’s Donald Qu, who finished two-over-par. The 18-stroke difference is the largest all-time in the juvenile category. In addition, his total score of 272 is the lowest 72-hole score ever posted by a juvenile champ, besting the previous record of 280, which was set by Raphael Lee in 2004 and matched by Mitch Sutton in 2008. Kwon’s scorecard was littered with birdies after the final round – he had five of them, and just two bogeys, in his fourth round Friday, and had six Thursday, against just one bogey. With the victory, Kwon earned an exemption into this week’s Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship in Winnipeg, but instead chose to play at Western Canada Summer Games, which are underway this week in Kamloops. South Surrey’s Adam Svensson, who was seventh after the first round last Tuesday and in the top-10 most of the tournament, made a charge in the last two rounds to finish third, at four-under (71-73-69-71). In the final round, Svensson was threeunder-par through 15 holes, but bogeyed the par-3 16th and the par-4 18th – he’d birdied both holes a day earlier – to finish at one-under on the day.

Gill named MVP of playoff round from page 21 the ’Gades, striking out five while allowing just the single run. Immediately after the loss to Calahoo, White Rock’s bats got hot as they thumped the Quebec Rebelles 9-2, with Sara Hopwood pitching. And they followed that with an 8-1 win over Manitoba Smittys. In that game, O’Connor went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and three RBI, while Renegades catcher Courtney Gill – who was named most valuable player of the playoff rounds – went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI. “She’s really our rock,” King said of his veteran catcher.

Sidor was again in the pitcher’s circle against Manitoba, allowing just two hits in five innings before the game was called on account of the mercy rule. Hopwood pitched the Renegades to the title-game win over Whitby, a game that was called in the top of the seventh inning due to poor weather. The Renegades had the chance to end of the game even earlier; they led 5-0 in the fifth inning and had the opportunity to expand the lead to 7-0 – thus ending the game with the mercy rule – but they couldn’t cash in the last two base-runners. “Then Whitby scored three in
their next at-bats and made it close again,” King said. “But we responded with one more run after that… we bounced back.” King was proud of the fact his team outscored the opposition 25-7 Sunday, and said he was already looking forward to next season, when the team would try for a third straight national title. “As a coach, you look for that triple threat – good pitching, good hitting and defence. We have four good pitchers… and we hit the ball well, too. “I can tell you, we’re going to do everything in our power to make it a three-peat next year.”
