Stabbing in White Rock
Victim pleads for no police Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Natalie Lockhart was just looking for a quiet break on a sunny workday in White Rock. What she found instead was a tall, young man – oozing blood – who asked her not to summon help. Suddenly Lockhart, assistant manager of the Shoppers Home Health Care store at Central Plaza, found herself at the centre of a non-fatal stabbing incident, which police say is likely linked to “streetlevel” drug dealing in the area. Lockhart was at the store’s recycling bin enclosure just off Johnston Road shortly after 2 p.m. Wednesday, when the man approached her. “He just walked into the garbage bins where I was standing, put his backpack on the ground and said ‘don’t call the police, don’t call an ambulance,’” she said. The man – later determined to be a 24-year-old Surrey resident – told her he had just been stabbed. “Blood was just dripping from his right side. He was talking lightly, but quickly.” Although Lockhart offered help, the man refused it, she said. “He just pulled on this black hoodie and picked up his backpack. I asked him where he was going

Police find victim in South Surrey. and he said, ‘I’m going home.’” Lockhart watched him shuffle to the intersection of North Bluff and cross to the Surrey side. “I felt bad. You couldn’t do anything for him. He didn’t want any help or anything. He was just covered in blood.” Lockhart said a young woman approached after the man had left, wondering if anyone had seen him. She was pointed in the direction he was travelling. Lockhart called White Rock RCMP, and learned that hers was the third call on the incident, which had first been reported as an assault-in-progress. When a fire truck and police cars caught up with him, he was seated on the ground outside a jewelry store across 152 Street from Semiahmoo Shopping Centre. see page 4

South Surrey’s Paul Cottrell has no doubt what would have happened to a humpback whale had a recent effort to untangle it from a gillnet not been successful. It would have died, the fisheries official said Monday, a day after returning from the rescue. “This animal would likely definitely have succumbed,” Cottrell said. “The animal had been entan-

Strange summer sight There was ice in South Surrey Saturday, on one of the hottest weekends this summer. The Shops at Morgan Crossing, which held a Spring Skate event earlier this year, have brought back an artificial ice rink and Summer Skate for local youth to enjoy before heading back to school. Players from the Surrey Eagles were at the Summer Skate on Saturday sharpening their skills and skating with fans. “Our Spring Skate was a huge success,” said The Shops marketing and events coordinator Leigh Ann Smith. “This time around, we’re excited to be partnering with the Surrey Eagles to bring even more exciting activities and exclusive opportunities to meet and interact with the players.” Five Eagles players including Surrey’s own Colton Mackie and Michael Stenerson were on hand and in skates Saturday, participating in puck-handling drills and sharing tips with young fans, who also skated with the players

news Advocate urges switch to hourly wages
B.C. to probe farms’ berry-picking rates Jeff Nagel Black Press
Lower Mainland berry pickers and other harvesters are being promised a provincial review of minimum wages for farm work won’t leave them earning less. More than 10,000 pickers are paid piecework rates based on how much they harvest. Charan Gill, spokesman for Progressive Intercultural Community Services Society, said it appears the province ordered the review in response to complaints from farmers and contractors after indications the minimum rates would rise in lockstep with planned increases in B.C.’s minimum wage. Gill said the consultant Victoria has hired
speaks no Punjabi and therefore won’t get a fair sense of most harvesters’ concerns. A labour ministry spokesman said reducing piece rates is “not under consideration.” Minimum pay rates for pickers range from 16 cents per pound for brussels sprouts to 40 cents for blueberries, while tree fruit fetches $17 to $20 per large bin. Those rates climbed 9.4 per cent in May at the same time B.C.’s minimum wage rose to $8.75 an hour. Gill said the rates typically work out to the equivalent of $4 or $5 an hour. “We are saying there should be a living wage for the farm workers,” he said. Gill argues the province should eliminate
piece rates entirely in favour of hourly wages. He says that would help reform the current system, which critics say is rife with abuse of workers and corrupt accounting practices. Farm contractors routinely pay pickers at piece rates but then convert the amounts to hourly pay on the books as if minimum wages had been paid. That lets companies record an artificially low number of hours and avoid violating employment standards when pickers work long hours during harvest season. Hours are sometimes later adjusted back upward so workers are credited the minimum number of hours to qualify for employment insurance. Employers sometimes demand kickbacks for such revisions.
Federal tax auditors have prosecuted dozens of Lower Mainland pickers before for EI fraud over their role in such schemes, although most employers have avoided punishment. “There should be a total survey of the farm industry to clean up this thing,” Gill said. B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair said Ontario and Quebec both use a system that ensures a minimum wage for farm workers, while retaining a piece-rate system that can result in pickers being paid more. B.C. should follow suit, he said. “The minimum wage for farm workers should be the minimum wage for everybody else.” The review is due by the end of October.

Emergency crews attend the intersection of Stayte Road and Pacific Avenue in White Rock following a two-vehicle collision Aug. 20.
Neighbours urge traffic calming
Residents call Stayte of emergency Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A South Surrey woman who says she was nearly hit by a car as she walked with her dogs on Stayte Road Friday is calling on the cities of White Rock and Surrey to improve safety at the intersection of Stayte Road (160 Street) and Pacific Avenue (10 Avenue). Julie Thorsen said she was driven to speak out after a collision the following evening at the same intersection ended with an SUV upside-down against a fire hydrant. Thorsen said she and her husband were enjoying a quiet evening in their backyard Saturday when the calm was broken around 6:30 p.m. by the sound of screeching tires, breaking glass and a blaring horn. She told her husband to call 911 and ran outside in her bare feet to find two SUVs had collided. One came to rest partially in a resident’s front yard. Thorsen didn’t see what caused the crash, but

One lem,” Dickinson said.
Increased BNSF traffic through White Rock is a market-driven fact of life – and residents must understand the sound of train whistles is a necessary safety factor. That’s the word from the railway’s corporate communications representative, Gus Melonas. Melonas said last week that the railway is doing everything it can to minimize the noise in the community through upgraded tracks, equipment and rolling stock, but “when it comes to safety, you can’t take shortcuts.” That’s particularly top-of-mind, he said, after a spate of trespasser fatalities on BNSF lines “between the border and Tacoma” over the previous week. “We had four trespassers hit – and three fatalities – in the last eight days,” Melonas said. “The last thing we want to face is striking somebody. The main warning device is the whistle on the train – and the whistle is intended to be heard.” Melonas was responding to a letter from Victoria Avenue resident Floyd Stanley in Peace Arch News’ Aug. 16 edition, in which Stanley charged there has been a significant increase in the number of trains – and train noise – through White Rock since 12 years ago. Stanley said that when he and his wife first came to White Rock from Ontario, he considered the trains “unique and not a nuisance as there were only, on average, six trains a day passing through.” Now, he said there are up to 16 trains a day. Stanley said they’ve had to shorten their twice-daily promenade walks, and noted whistles awaken them at all hours of the night. But Melonas said the volume of traffic varies according to customer demand for transporting goods. “We’re averaging 12 to 15 trains, but every day is different,” he said. “Sometimes it’s as low as nine, while other days it’s up to 15 or 16.” Based on projections, demand for train movement of goods will increase, Melonas acknowledged. “Each train that goes through White Rock takes an average of 300 trucks off the highway,” he said. “And we’ve not had one hazmat fatality since 1981 – not one. We’re proud of our safety record.”

Targeted attack linked to drug trade from page 1 Witnesses there observed the man being tended to by a young woman who applied improvised compresses to his chest, attempting to stop the flow of blood. An ambulance took him to Earl Marriott Secondary grounds, where he was picked up by a helicopter and airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital. He was later listed in stable condition. Lockhart said she later saw police officers converging on a
parking lot just south of Central Plaza on Johnston Road, and concluded they were investigating the area as a possible site of the stabbing attack. Late Wednesday, police released a statement in which they said they believe the attack was targeted and is connected to streetlevel drug trade, and that “the general public is not at risk.� But Lockhart admitted she was fearful for her own safety when she first saw the man.
“My first thought when he came walking in was, ‘oh my God, I’m dead.’ I didn’t know what to expect when I saw all that blood. And when he said don’t call the police or ambulance, I thought, ‘oh God‌’ I’m glad he’s doing alright. He’s very lucky.â€? Lockhart said the incident shook her up enough that she went home from work early. “It’s very scary. You don’t expect to see that in little old White Rock.â€?
Whale tale from page 1 juvenile in Ursula Channel, near Gill Island, the day before. When he arrived, Cottrell learned efforts to track the whale overnight were complicated after the mammal met up with about four other humpbacks. In the dark, it was hard to know which humpback to follow, he said. Fortunately, he and others who joined the search in the morning were able to locate the whale after about four hours of combing the waters in a grid pattern. Along the way, Cottrell’s team alone encountered 15 other humpbacks, he noted. The tangled leviathan was found around 2 p.m., and a careful operation to free it got underway. The process – attaching to the line, and slowly moving closer to the whale, cutting the gear off along the way – took about seven hours, Cottrell said. The first step alone took a couple hours. “We really took our time‌ moving up the gear and cutting it off over time, and then eventually getting right up close to the whale and then being able to cut (the line) with specialized tools

The operation – the third of its kind for Cottrell – was the second successful whale disentanglement in B.C. waters this month. Another whale was rescued near Tofino about two weeks ago.
Cottrell is hopeful a third whale spotted sporadically since July 31 in the southern Georgia Strait with crab line attached to it will soon be located and freed. He encouraged anyone who spots the whale – or any other distressed, sick, injured or dead marine mammal – to call the 24-hour Marine Mammal Incident Reporting Hotline, at 1-800465-4336.

Layton a class act C
anadians were shocked to learn Monday morning of the passing of Jack Layton, federal leader of the Opposition and longtime NDP leader, at the age of 61. While many may have had a premonition that Layton would not be able to win his second battle with cancer, they were instinctively rooting for him. He was a genuine person whose likeability was a key factor in taking the NDP from 13 seats, when he became leader in 2003, to 103 in the May 2 election. Layton was a man of conviction, but he was also practical. He took the NDP away from some of its more extreme positions towards a party that was more middle-of-the-road, and was able to do so in such a way as to avoid internal splits that could have caused many divisions. His recent runaway success in Quebec is proof of his ability. Quebeckers were clearly tired of the Bloc Quebecois, which, for 20 years, has harped on their province’s problems without presenting workable solutions. Layton, more than any other leader, sensed the void that was being created and made a direct appeal to Quebeckers. As he grew up in Quebec, he had a natural connection, but it was his ability to convince Quebeckers that the NDP would represent their province well that led the party to win so many seats in the recent election. It was truly a victory of breathtaking proportions, and the concurrent relegation of the Bloc Quebecois to just four seats was cheered by all those across the country who want Quebec to not only stay within Canada, but be an important and proud part of the country. It is not insignificant that Layton rose from municipal politics to become NDP leader. He was a longtime member of Toronto city council and served as president of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. The most successful municipal politicians are bridge-builders. They learn to work with people of differing political philosophies, because they know that they are all there for the greater good of the community. Layton brought that kind of pragmatic approach to the national stage, and even when he disagreed heartily with his opponents, he never did so in a nasty, personal manner. He preferred to use his sense of humour. He was a class act. The thoughts and prayers of people all over Canada are with his family at this most difficult time.

be a good bet to deliver. He’s against smart meters for the same reason he’s against the HST – because it looks like a popular pose right now.) When it comes to electricity exports, the important point is not what power sells for today, but what it will be worth a decade from now. And that depends on whether clean energy can command a premium price, and whether coal and other fossil fuel sources have a carbon price imposed on them. Conventional wisdom right now is that carbon taxes and cap and trade programs are, if not dead, at least dormant in North America. So I was surprised to find that this month Powerex, BC Hydro’s electricity trading company, wrote to the California Air Resources Board asking for clarification of the state’s proposed changes to its greenhouse gas reporting and cap and trade rules. California wants to prevent suppliers from engaging in “resource shuffling,” where a supplier such as B.C. might import coal power from Alberta for its own use, while selling supposedly clean power for export. Considering that restriction, B.C.’s self-sufficiency rule starts to make more sense. If B.C. is not importing power, its supply must be clean. Clean energy sales to California are a long way off, but it would be a mistake to reject the possibility.

Refocus anger not on smokers
Editor: White Rock always brings to mind a day at the beach. What is interesting is just how little oceanfront White Rock has. They have made the most of what they have by building an attractive walkway. Whilst Crescent Beach is equally attractive, Surrey ignores the bulk of its coastline. Surrey is on the coast, but it is not always the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Surrey. Imagine a seawall from Crescent Beach to Kwomais Point Park. Many people walk on the railway track to enjoy our ocean front, why not make it accessible and safer? Imagine being able to walk from Crescent Beach to Elgin Park. Imagine being able to walk on the dikes, which I believe – might be wrong – that our tax dollars help maintain. Why do we not have access to the dikes? I realize that we have a railway on our Surrey coastline, but if White Rock can deal with this, why can’t Surrey? Surrey is busy building big-box stores, industrial parks, a city centre and massive housing developments; please do not forget the coastline in Surrey. J. Wood, Surrey
Editor: Re: It’s not just smoker who could use a little help, Aug. 11. When I read the headline, my thought was that this was going to be a positive article. Sadly, it turned out to be another typical Canadian whining about why should someone get something I’m not getting when I deserve it more. Columnist Katie Bartel should do a little research. Tobacco products are taxed 800 times their retail value, and the taxes far exceed estimates of health-related costs plus the limitedtime program the B.C. government offers to help smokers quit the habit. The extra millions left over are, I presume, being used somewhere else in the health-care system. If her being a vocal advocate of non-smoking means that all she does is loudly annoy and embarrass
Noise rules differ for us Editor: Re: Not quiet on the western front, Aug. 16 letters. I was just going to forget about an incident that occurred last week. However, when I opened up Tuesday’s newspaper and read the letter to the editor regarding BNSF, I decided to give my “two cents” worth. On the previous Sunday morning, at 2 a.m., I was rudely awakened by the “tooting” of the train. I mean, that guy laid on his horn for the half mile between East and West beaches. I was particularly concerned because I had my little grandson staying with me the night, and he woke up crying because of the noise. So, on Monday morning, I phoned city hall and spoke to a gentleman. I asked if this is not a bylaw infraction. To this, he replied that the BNSF owns all that land near the waterfront and, therefore, if I wanted to complain, I would have to call the BNSF and complain to them. Well I own my property, and if I was making loud noises at 2 a.m., waking my neighbours, wouldn’t the police be coming to my door? Sorry, I don’t buy it. As I recall, they had agreed to refrain from using the horn during certain hours of the night, and instead rely on the bells if they felt it was warranted. It seems to me I am not the only one who feels like we are being “bullied” by the BNSF. D. Barros, White Rock
people who do smoke, then she should be more constructive. It’s not something to be proud of. Katie’s anger should focus on the B.C. government’s appalling record of waste and mismanagement, some of which is exposed by the media. This is the source of the problem that takes away from our health care, not hapless individuals who offend her ideology of the moment. J. Edwards, Surrey
Beach area gone to seed Editor: My/Our City by the Sea… is unkempt and uncared-for. My husband and I went down to the beach area on the weekend for a walk, now that summer seems to have arrived. We always enjoy seeing what’s new and poking around the back lanes and streets just off the beaten path.
However, when we got to the beach itself, we were blown away by just how unkempt the grassy areas along West Beach and the tracks were. There is a huge stand of weeds that have gone to seed and look like giant puff balls, blowing their seeds all over the grass on both sides of the promenade. Under the railing on both sides of the tracks, it hasn’t been touched and is full of weeds. We walked further and noticed brambles are encroaching on the little paths through the weeds to the beach itself. The little pockets of natural grass are way too high to see over, if you want to sit on the grass. Is this what we want to present to those who come to enjoy our beautiful Semiahmoo Bay? Where is the parks department? Now that we can’t use herbicides, do we just let weeds grow rampant? Is this just part of the laissez-fair attitude that seems to prevail at the beach? There’s more to beach maintenance than just mowing the grass every now and again. Wendy Boyes, White Rock

Tim Uppal, minister of state for democratic reform, joins MP Russ Hiebert and about 50 attendees on Aug. 5.
Host a genuine town-hall meeting Editor: Re: Hiebert, Uppal pledge Senate reform, Aug. 11. Interesting! Our MP hosts a town-hall meeting and flies in a minister of state from Alberta to discuss Senate reform. About four weeks after Russ Hiebert was parachuted into our South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale riding – and elected because he is a Conservative – a “town-hall” meeting was advertised in the Elk Hall for 9:30 a.m. on a Saturday. I was there. So were three or four others, plus half a dozen volunteers putting up posters and Mr. and Mrs. Hiebert. We left at 10 a.m., since at that time, nobody else had shown up and Hiebert had not come out of his corner to say good morning. The next “town-hall” meeting was, I believe, the famous telephone hook up with Finance Minister Jim Flaherty. (Telephone town hall: by the numbers, Jan. 21). Did Hiebert answer any of the questions? We are still waiting to hear from him how much the taxpayer had to pay for this exercise. (Editor’s note: Hiebert estimated the Jan. 17 conference call, involving 3,200 participants, would cost “pennies a call.” The next month, the final tally came in at $3,100.) And now, this month’s meeting with a minister of state. Your reporter did not mention what Hiebert had to say about Senate reform, only that the “long-awaited summer” was competing with the length of the meeting, one hour was enough. Did you expect him to say anything else? I think it is your public duty as the local newspaper to arrange a real town-hall meeting with the MP – just him and the citizens, nobody else! I am sure you will have more than 50 people attending. Wolfgang Schmitz, White Rock
Threat to unity I am very appreciative of the attention given to my remarks, as reported in PAN, during the Aug. 5 Senate reform town hall. Yet, one thing not given sufficient emphasis in the article, although alluded to in my quoted remarks, is the threat to national unity this legislation represents. It would allow provincial political parties to run candidates for Senate election during provincial elections. The provincial party winning the election would therefore most likely be the same party represented in the Canadian Parliament as senators. Senators so-elected would be accountable to the province of election rather than to all Canadians and to a provincial political party. In the case of another future Parti Quebecois government in Quebec, that would mean PQ senators, or possibly Alberta-first Wild Rose and Saskatchewanfirst Saskatchewan Party Senators, for example. Empowering me-first provincialism in this way is surely a direct challenge to national unity. It is a direct constitutional challenge to the Canadian federal principle, but then we shouldn’t be surprised insofar as this is the party led by Stephen Harper, who continues to speak of “provincial autonomy” and provincial jurisdiction as if it were sovereignty, and who wrote infamously of the need to build a “firewall” around Alberta to keep the Canadian government out. Harper’s “Senate reform” looks a lot like dividing up Canada into less than the sum of its parts; as you reported, a sort of 19th-century “United States of Canada,” bickering parts teetering on the edge of un-Civil War.

t h g i N s e i d La
No known gang connection: police Black Press
A 30-year-old Surrey man is recovering after being shot by an unknown assailant Wednesday night. Three men were in a garage in the 8200-block of 150 Street, looking at a bicycle one of the men just bought. Just before 11 p.m., a man about five-foot-six approached, wearing a black balaclava and hoodie, and began shooting at the group of men, striking one of them in the abdomen. The injured man, who lives next door, is expected to make a full recovery. No one else was injured. The gunman left on foot, but the sound of squealing tires was heard shortly after. None of the victims has any known criminal or gang connections. RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger said the men are being fully co-operative, but don’t know much about the shooter. “It happened so quickly, and to their surprise, they just couldn’t believe they were being shot at,” Grainger said noting any motive, or case of mistaken identity is yet to be determined. “We know as these investigations unfold, there’s typically a reason, and they are typically targeted,” Grainger said. “Mistaken identity is certainly a possibility.”
While the shooting has some of the earmarks of gangland shootings days earlier, Grainger said there is no tangible connection. Neighbours say the area is pleasant during the day, but some told Black Press they wouldn’t walk alone at night. Central to the neighbourhood’s problem is drug dealing that neighbours say is going on in Morningside Park, right across the street from the shooting. Another woman claimed the area is rife with marijuana-grow operations, which invite a criminal element. They have called police about both issues, but say nothing seems to have alleviated either problem. Grainger said a special initiative – primarily on weekends – targets people drinking or dealing drugs in parks, including Morningside. “In the Guildford area, we have a special group of officers who do work on an overtime basis to detect and apprehend those in drinking and drug-type activity,” Grainger said. He also noted that grow-ops are an issue throughout the region and that Surrey RCMP are pouring significant resources into disrupting the practice. Anyone with information is asked to call 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS to remain anonymous.

Federal NDP leader Jack Layton, who died Monday, is being remembered locally and nationally.
Layton lauded locally can’t do something.� Just weeks ago, Layton held a media conference to announce he was fighting a second bout of cancer, and was taking time away to seek treatment. “I was just incredibly disappointed for Jack that after bringing home this astounding election result that he was going to have to step away from that,� Priddy said. She said he brought a huge number of new people into the party, particularly in Quebec. Jinny Sims, a newly elected NDP MP in Newton-North Delta and former head of the B.C. Teachers Federation, said Layton inspired a new generation of youth. “The one thing he gave Canadians over the last few months was hope,� Sims said. “I can’t think of a greater gift. He gave us all hope there’s a new way of doing things, there’s a new way of doing politics. We will honour him by working harder to create the more progressive Canada of his dreams.� South Surrey-White Rock-

Federal NDP leader Jack Layton is being remembered in Surrey and across the country as a politician who transformed Canadian politics. Layton’s death from cancer early Monday at the age of 61 prompted an outpouring of tributes. “He changed the landscape of Canadian political history,� said Penny Priddy, a longtime Surrey New Democrat who served provincially and federally. His death comes just months after he led the NDP to Official Opposition status in Canadian Parliament, a first for the party. Priddy, a cancer survivor herself, was an MP from 2006-2008 when there was little sign the NDP was about to score a massive breakthrough in the 2011 campaign. “Regardless of what was happening publicly or what number we were at in the polls, Jack was always, always positive. “It was always about going forward.

Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert said Layton will be missed by all Canadians. “Jack Layton was a man of remarkable accomplishment,� the Conservative MP said. “I had great respect for his leadership, having built his party into a formidable political force in Canada. And, I admired his courage in fighting the terrible disease that eventually took his life.� The NDP says Layton died peacefully before 5 a.m. at his Toronto home. His wife – fellow MP Olivia Chow – and other loved ones were with him. Prior to his death, Layton penned a letter for Canadians, released Monday, outlining his thoughts on the future of his party and his country. He signed off with the following paragraph: “My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.�

Radio host rejects criticism Kevin Diakiw Black Press
A Surrey radio host flatly rejects allegations made regarding remarks on his show after a woman was murdered last month. The Surrey Women’s Centre (SWC) is planning to lodge a complaint with the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) that Harjinder Thind’s call-in show on RED FM questioned the freedoms of women in this country. It aired the day after the July 28 killing of 24-year-old Ravinder Bhangu. SWC spokesperson Corrine Arthur said Thind was question-

ing whether women in this country had too many rights. “It was so horrific,” Arthur said last week. “I believe there was the intention to be inflammatory.” Arthur said she waited for a challenge of Thind’s question, and it didn’t come. “Instead, what ended up happening is he gave air time to some pretty disturbing comments,” she said. Arthur said she received several complaints from her staff and clients, who were listening to the Punjabi-language broadcast. Thind, however, told Black Press the comments have been completely misconstrued. “They haven’t even heard the
whole show, they just took some callers’ clips, or whatever somebody told them,” Thind said. Thind noted he and RED FM have raised thousands of dollars annually to combat domestic violence. His show, “Save Our Daughters,” is designed to shed light on domestic violence in the community. “Somebody has to do this, it’s serious work,” Thind said, adding the series hosts discussions on how laws can better protect women. “We’re working for the rights of the women to improve their lifestyles.” He added it’s a live show where listeners call in to express their opinions.

Probation for prank A Surrey teen has been given two years probation for an expensive prank he pulled in North Vancouver. The young offender, whose name cannot be published, was found guilty on 12 counts of ‘Conveying False Messages,’ a rarely used charge under the Criminal Code of Canada. The ruling comes as a result of prank phone calls place to North Vancouver businesses between Feb. 11 and Feb. 13, this year. The teen, posing as a sprinkler maintenance worker and a fire marshal, convinced several businesses, including restaurants and hotels, to activate their sprinkler systems. Damage was in the thousands of dollars. Along with the two-year support and supervision probation order, the youth must adhere to the following conditions: • have no contact or go to a total of 12 North Vancouver businesses • not to possess a cell phone or mobile device • not to possess or consume alcohol or drugs • to be placed under House Arrest and not to go outside except with prior written permission of a Probation Officer “There is a strong message here to anyone who may think of using prank calls as a means of irresponsible entertainment” states North Vancouver Cpl.

lthough Surrey Urban Mission Society runs out of North Surrey – providing services to people who are homeless and living in poverty – there is little question the Semiahmoo Peninsula plays a role in its success. Just ask volunteer and South Surrey resident Patricia Jessen, who has been garnering local support for the community centre for the past six months. For Jessen, it doesn’t make a difference where one lives in Surrey – or in White Rock, for that matter – because everyone is part of a larger community. “The official city boundaries

Now retired, Jessen took on food throughout the week. The the role in February of liaison combined support from various volunteers and organizations between the society and Mount Olive, communicating the allows the society to serve more
than 1,200 meals a week. “We have a calling as a compassionate member of the larger community to reach out and to share whatever gifts we have whether it’s time or talent or financial or organization gifts – whatever gifts we have,” Jessen said. “It’s just an overall awareness of the needs of people who might not have the abundance of daily needs that some of us do.” And while some residents south of Whalley may not be aware of SUMS’ services, the relocation of city hall to the area may heighten its profile, Jessen noted. “We’re very hopeful it will mean good and positive and kind of a renewed awareness of SUM’s existence.”
In the meantime, the society is gearing up for a commemoration of its 10th anniversary, and everyone in the community is invited to take part or contribute. The inaugural Soup de Jour Celebration will be held Sept. 23 from 5 to 9 p.m. at Viceroy Banquet Hall, 8580 132 St. Surrey restaurants are donating soup for the evening, which will also feature mocktails, food, local entertainment and auctions. In keeping with the mission’s tradition, the event is free of charge. All proceeds will benefit SUMS’ programs and services.

Ace, a miniature pinscher, is held by Sara Rankine at last year’s Paws for a Cause event.
For the dogs Animal lovers in the Surrey area are urged to slide into their favourite pair of walking shoes next month and get moving to help a furry friend. Registration is open for the annual Scotiabank and BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk held each fall to raise funds for homeless and abused animals in the province. Every year, participants in 37 communities around B.C. walk with colleagues, friends, family and their dogs to raise $1 million to help animals in need. “This is the largest single event supporting animals in B.C.,” the society’s director of development, Denise Meade, said in a release. “Participants are already signing up and will be fundraising in their own communities all summer long.
“The remarkable creativity and passion that people show each year is remarkable.” Last year, cancollecting canine Katie raised hundreds of dollars by collecting cans on her daily walks and returning them for refunds. “As far as we know, Katie was the only nonhuman to personally sign up,” Meade said. “And what’s more, she actually did her own fundraising.” Paws for a Cause will be held in Crescent Park, 2610 Crescent Rd., Sept. 11. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m., and walk time is at 11 a.m. Activities will include a dog agility demonstration, canine disc throwing, clicker training demo, shelter dog parade, kids’ activity tent and face painting.

Outside The Box The upcoming Semiahmoo Peninsula celebration of an often overlooked idiom – fibre and textile art – is called Outside The Box. It’s a very appropriate title, given organizers have put it together in the space of one year with no funding, no society and no arbitrary division between White Rock and South Surrey venues. What they have done, instead is to forge a partnership with the City of White Rock, White Rock Library, White Rock Museum and Archives and the White Rock BIA, along with Semiahmoo Arts, Surrey Public Library, and Semiahmoo Shopping Centre. The result will be a series of exciting events and displays throughout the Peninsula from Sept. 1 to Oct. 21, highlighting fibre and textile art and illustrating how practitioners are pushing the boundaries “outside the box.” These will include Fiber Fusion, a six-by-nine-foot collaborative mural by more than 20 members of the Virtuosi Infraganti Collective (opening Sept. 1) at White Rock Museum and Archives; a main display at White Rock Community Centre (Sept. 10-Oct. 21); demonstrations and ‘fun with fibre’ displays at the White Rock BIA’s Uptown Summersault Festival (Sept.
10); informative wall texts to accompany the displays, by the Women, Art and Society class at Langara College; and an exhibition of art quilts by the Crescent Quilters and the ‘Piece Arch’ Quilters at the White Rock Library, which will also feature the launch of the book Hoopla: The Art of Unexpected Embroidery by ‘yarn bombing” author Leanne Prain (Sept. 19), and a presentation by Anne Kristiansen, Interwoven Stories: A History of Textiles in Fashion and Art (Sept. 26). Also on offer will be a day of displays and demonstrations by weavers, spinners and quilters at the Zeller’s court area of Semiahmoo Shopping Centre (Sept. 24); plus exhibitions, workshops and demonstrations at Laura’s Fashion Fabrics through September; two evenings of fashion art and flowers presented by Boutique Vasanji and Flowers Chic (Sept. 10, Oct. 2); displays by the Peace Arch Weavers and Spinners at the Semiahmoo and Ocean Park Libraries and displays by the South Surrey and White Rock Art Society at Coast Capital Playhouse. For more information, visit www.outsidetheboxwhiterock.com
Uptown street festival The White Rock BIA’s Uptown Street Festival will return Sept. 10, 11 a.m.-4 p.m., featuring everything from arts displays to live entertainment and a chili tasting. Main stage entertainment will feature Red Beans and Rice,
Yours Truly and Freedom 95, while the Todd Brewer School of Music will have its own stage featuring talented local students. The festival’s Performance Stage will presnt dynamic demonstrations of yoga, martial arts and ballroom dancing. Also included will be the Outside The Box art exhibition, a family fun zone and a chili cookoff. For more information, contact info@whiterockbia.com
Bedfull of Foreigners There are still a few chances to catch the wacky British bedroom farce A Bedfull of Foreigners – directed by Ellie King for her Royal Canadian Theatre Company – which continues until Aug. 28 in 8 p.m. performances at the Coast Capital Playhouse (1532 Johnston Rd.). The high-energy door-slammer, set in decaying hotel on the border between France and Germany, features strong farceur Sam Gordon as Stanley, a nontoo-bright British holidaymaker who must juggle an unexpected roomate Claude (Walter Ekins, in fine bullying form) plus Claude’s wife Helga (the hilarious Wendy Bollard) and his scantilyclad mistress Simone (played extravagantly by Becky Hachey). Also contributing to the chaos are Gary Peterman (splendid as slothful handyman Karak) and Brett Harrison (funny as inept and randy manager Heinz) and Nicole Smashnuk as Stanley’s wife Brenda (amusing in her responses to Heinz’ flattery).
Doing its part to present different music locally is the notfor-profit Small Ritual Coffee Society on Johnston Road (just up from Five Corners). In addition to Sunday night concerts with such emerging groups as Their There, The Star Captains and Behind Sapphire, 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). All ages are welcome, and the cost for the live show is $10 (usual session price is $5). Net proceeds benefit the Metro Kids Society. For more information, visit jumpjointswing. com or call 778-867-1457.
Adrian Michael Adrian Michael, a 16 yearold jazz piano prodigy, plays at Iguana’s on Marine Drive with his trio every Thursday at 6:30 p.m. through the summer. Currently students of Semiahmoo Secondary’s jazz program, Michael and regular bassist Abby David, who usually work with drummer Matt Skepasts (unavailable for the gigs), will be playing with subs – most likely Natalie Yergatian or Michael’s brother Julian. Michael, who also composes many of his tunes, will also be doing his first studio recording this summer with David and Skepasts.

Renegades ‘95 win gold at nationals Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
The White Rock Renegades ’95 went undefeated through five days of competition at 2011 Bantam Girls Canadian Fastpitch Championships last week in Winnipeg, capturing the national title with a 7-3 victory over Ontario’s Ajax Raiders in Sunday’s gold-medal game. White Rock was led in the championship tilt by Sara
Groenewegen, who not only earned the win by pitching a seven-inning complete game with five strikeouts and no walks, but also hit a two-run home run in the third inning to extend her team’s lead to 3-0; Groenewegen was also responsible for her team’s first run when she singled home Toryce Westgard in the first frame. Andrea Sidor and Westgard also had RBI for the Renegades, and shortstop Cheyanne Head was 3-for-4 at the
plate, with two runs scored. The national crown is the fifth for White Rock coach Chuck Westgard, who four times led the Renegades ’91 to Canadian titles. Earlier this summer, many players from that ’91 team helped guide the Renegades senior ‘A’ team to a national title in Montreal, under head coach Wayne King. White Rock advanced to the finals after again beating Ajax – for the third time in the tournament – 4-3 on
Saturday night a game that needed eight innings to decide. Head had the other two runsbatted-in in the contest, and Brooke Anderson pitched all eight innings for the Renegades, striking out six. Heading into the tournament, Renegades ’95 coach Chuck Westgard said how his team performed in their first two games – against the two tough Ontario seeds – would be indicative of see page 22

’Gades prevail from page 21 whether or not they’d be contenders for the title. It’s safe to say they passed the test. White Rock opened the tournament Wednesday with a convincing 10-2 win over the Brampton Blazers, then followed up later in the day with a 7-0 shutout of Ontario’s top-seeded Ajax Raiders. White Rock got off to a great start against Brampton, scoring nine runs in the top half of the first inning, thanks to a handful of singles, three consecutive doubles – from Sydney Brown, Toryce Westgard and Cheyanne Head. The ’Gades tacked on another run in the second; pitcher Tori Belton was credited with the win. Against Ajax, the two teams were scoreless until the fourth, when the Renegades went up 1-0 on an RBI single from Madison Tomkow, and then broke the game open with six more runs in the fifth. Third baseman Andrea Sidor and first baseman Aldyen Krieger each had doubles in the game, while Head lead the way with two RBI. Pitcher Groenewegen went the distance for White Rock, striking out eight through five innings, while allowing just one hit and walking a pair. On Thursday, White Rock continued its round-robin roll, beating Saskatchewan’s Southey Eagles 10-1 and the Calgary Diamond Devils 10-2. Friday morning, White Rock moved to 5-0 with an 8-0 shutout over Calgary Kaizen ’95.

sports Team becomes first in 25 years to go undefeated
Thunder trio help Nanaimo to Western Canadian title
REP. A & B GIRLS
Softball Try-Outs - for all minor division players -
Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Though their own seasons were at an end, three members of the South Surrey-White Rock Thunder played key roles in helping another club – the Nanaimo Diamonds – win a Western Canadian Midget B Fastpitch title. Cassi McCulloch, a pitcher for the SS-WR Thunder ‘93 team, and two Thunder ‘94 players, Erin Donnelly and Cody Hibbert, were picked up by the Diamonds prior to the Western Canadian tournament, which was held earlier this month in Medicine Hat, Alta. The three Thunder players were eligible to play because their own seasons were over. McCulloch’s ‘93 team actually finished higher than the Diamonds at provincials, finishing third to Nanaimo’s fourth-place showing, but did not register for westerns. And it was her pitching prowess against the Diamonds in B.C. championships that convinced the Island squad she could help them out. “We got to talking with the coach and he said, ‘your daughter really gave us a lot of trouble out there,’” said Steve McCulloch,

33 OBITUARIES FEE - Guida Andrea Passed away early on a sunny Thursday morning August 4, 2011 in Burnaby BC after a fierce battle with colorectal cancer. Andrea was born July 25, 1963 in Kelowna BC, the last of six children born to John and Guida Fee, both of whom predeceased her. Andrea leaves behind husband Clayten (Ranger) and two wonderful sons Kyle (23) and Aeron (18). Also survived by sisters Trish and Jane, brothers Jeff (Sandy), Tom (Gail) and Jim (Pam) along with Pete and Lorraine Hill of Victoria, Diana Hill of North Vancouver, the Knapp, Hill and Hood families including 15 cousins, and 11 nieces and nephews (Dave and Jen, Pat and Chris, Josh and Julia, Sarah, Katie and Megan and Chloe and Taylor). She leaves behind a host of friends and co-workers both in and out of the hospital community. Andrea worked in the lab at Royal Columbian Hospital for the past 23 years. She fought to the end, never lost her sense of humour and never gave up. A celebration of Andrea’s life will take place Sunday August 28, 2011 from noon to 3 p.m. at the Scandinavian Cultural Centre, 6540 Thomas Street, Burnaby BC. No flowers please, but donations to the charity of your choice would be appreciated including to the Palliative Care Unit at Burnaby Hospital or to the Fraser Valley Cancer Centre in Andrea’s memory. Grateful thanks to all who cared for her so compassionately over the last six months. She is now singing karaoke in that big pub in the sky. Andrea, we love you.

Just look at the picture again.
Honestly, it’s OK if you would rather stare at the picture of the car than read the rest of the ad. In fact, we kind of designed the All-New 2012 Passat so you wouldn’t have to read ads like this. The sleek, sophisticated lines should speak for themselves, saying things like, “Sure it looks great on the outside, but wait until you see the amazing standard features, like Bluetooth® connectivity and the leatherwrapped steering wheel, in the very spacious and comfortable interior that even boasts class-leading rear seat legroom*.” So, go ahead, look at the picture again and then look at the price below. Then you’ll really know what we mean when we say the 2012 Passat pretty much sells itself.
