White Rock fire extinguished in about 45 minutes
Residents escape apartment blaze Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

Firefighters douse second-floor flames.
White Rock residents were evacuated from a Martin Drive apartment building Sunday after a fire broke out in the second storey. Const. Chris Kienzle said police were notified at around 4:20 p.m. Aug. 14 of the fire, which has been deemed accidental. “We know that the fire originated in the kitchen and that there were burnt pots and pans,” he said, noting a preliminary report
suggests it started as a stovetop fire. Witnesses reported seeing flames coming out of a window above the three-storey building’s lobby, and said the fire burned for around 45 minutes to an hour before being extinguished by firefighters. “It started off fairly calm and all of a sudden it really started going, and flames were coming out of the second storey and big black smoke, and a bit of white smoke, was coming out of the roof,” neighbour Peter Killon said.
Kienzle said all residents in the 20-suite building – at 14970 Martin Dr. – were accounted for, with one injury among them. The resident of the suite where the fire started suffered smoke inhalation and was kept in hospital overnight for observation. The third-storey unit above the fire was the home of two cats, Kienzle noted, both of which were located by the fire crew. “One of the cats was in really rough shape see page 4
Attack ‘haunts’ teen
U.S. border guard guilty in road rage Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
A U.S. border guard has pleaded guilty to harassment for threatening to kill a Surrey teen during a road-rage incident in Washington earlier this year. Joel Jeffrey Helle, 56, a border guard at the Blaine crossing, was sentenced to one month of partial confinement, according to documents filed in Skagit County court earlier this month. The incident in question took place April 23, when Helle – driving a black, unmarked BMW – alleged he was cut off by an SUV travelling northbound on the 1-5, driven by a 17-year-old Surrey resident. When the teen changed lanes away from the BMW, Helle forced the SUV onto the shoulder, where the teen eventually stopped. Helle approached the SUV – which was also carrying the teen’s parents and a friend, on their way back from a visit to the University of Washington – flashed his badge and banged on the window. When the teen rolled down the window, Helle grabbed his throat and made threatening remarks, before he let go, returned to his car and drove away. see page 4

Survivor airlifted from scene of Highway 10 collision
Three killed as driver speeds wrong way Three people were killed Saturday morning after a man sped the wrong way down Highway 10 and slammed into an oncoming vehicle. Police received a call at about 1:45 a.m. that a man was driving erratically westbound on Highway 10, just west of King George Boulevard. His Chevy Cavalier collided with a Nissan Pathfinder at 136 Street and Highway 10. The driver and two people in the other vehicle are dead. One woman in the other

vehicle survived the crash and was airlifted to hospital. Fifty-two-year-old Jovan Salapurna and 21-year-old Jarrett Swackhamer, both of Nanaimo, were pronounced dead at the scene. Swackhamer’s parents describe their youngest son as wise beyond his years. “He was the greatest guy I’ve ever met,” his mother, Bonnie, told CTV News. “He was so full of life, so big. He was way
beyond his years.” Swackhamer’s girlfriend, Mikaela, was taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Police have not identified the deceased driver, whom they say is a Lower Mainland resident. Police believe speed was a factor, but haven’t determined whether drugs or alcohol contributed to the crash. – Black Press

A three-month-old Surrey baby has made a stunning recovery after being ejected from from a vehicle in Washington last week. “Thank God somebody is looking out for him,” Washington State Trooper Keith Leary told Black Press Monday. “We were thinking the worst, and things change like that… some times you never know.” At just after 11 a.m. Thursday, a 27-year-old Surrey woman and her three children were heading northbound on the I-5 near Mount Vernon when the driver was distracted as her Honda SUV drifted on to the rumble strips. She was startled and attempted to correct back into her lane and rolled the vehicle. The three-month-old was ejected. “Both boy and seat landed

The mother suffered arm and head injuries, while the six- and seven-year-old girls experienced minor injuries.

harm, flight from police causing death and flight from police causing bodily harm. Laursen, 56, was hit just before 10 p.m., May 18, as she and a close friend were crossing Johnston Road at Thrift Avenue. Police say the car that struck her had just avoided a police stop and hit another vehicle before leaving the scene. It was found abandoned a short time later in the area of 160 Street and King George Boulevard. Danyliuk was arrested in Surrey on July 18 as he was leaving a store. No trial date has yet been set.

news Teenagers arrested after man nearly loses vision in one eye
Resident assaulted in Crescent Beach A Crescent Beach resident suffered serious facial injuries after being assaulted by a group of male youth Friday night. Erik Seiz told Global News that the incident occurred around 11 p.m. Aug. 12, when a group of boys pounded on his front door before taking off with some driftwood from his property. Seiz said he chased the boys down the
street, and, about a block away from his home, one of them picked up a stick and struck him across the face. When Seiz fell to the ground, the other boys began beating him with sticks. A security guard working for a nearby movie crew scared the boys off, but several managed to flee in a taxi, Global News reported.
Police said that with the use of witnesses, RCMP helicopter Air 1 and police dog services, they tracked the taxi to a gas station, where members intercepted and took three youths in custody. The boys are all Caucasian, and ages 15 to 17. RCMP were still searching for three others Saturday.
Seiz said his nose and the bone supporting his eye were broken. He nearly lost an eye in the assault, but has since been told by doctors that he will keep his sight. Seiz was scheduled to have facial surgery yesterday (Monday), and could not be reached by Peace Arch News. RCMP also couldn’t be reached by PAN deadline.

$1.4-million restoration
Museum reopens its doors Alex Browne Staff Reporter
The White Rock Museum and Archives was formally reopened Aug. 12 in a sunny evening ceremony on the museum plaza that brought together past and present staff, volunteers, supporters, community movers and shakers and representatives of three levels of government. The museum restoration, which cost in excess of $1.4 million overall – including public donations and fundraising drives – has maximized exhibition, gallery and programming areas, doubled storage space in the facility and added computerized climate controls for exhibition and archival materials, while retaining the popular ticket office. It has also returned the historic former Great Northern Railway station to its original 1913 configuration, including a glassed-in ‘breezeway’ space linking Marine Drive and the waterfront, which now serves as the museum’s gift shop area.

Harpist Mehlinda Heartt played mellow arpeggios for the crowd at the formal reopening of the White Rock Museum and Archives Friday evening. Before inviting guests in to see the revamped museum’s inaugural exhibit, Aliens Among Us – a travelling show from the Royal B.C. Museum highlighting invasive species and their impacts on B.C. flora and fauna – White Rock museum manager Sharon Oldaker and museum board chair Coun. Doug McLean welcomed a large array of dignitaries. Included were Mayor Catherine Ferguson and White Rock council members Lynne Sinclair, Helen
Fathers, Al Campbell and MaryWade Anderson; South SurreyWhite Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert; Surrey-Panorama MLA Stephanie Cadieux and Semiahmoo First Nation councillors Joanne Charles and Kevin Cook. Hiebert and Cadieux spoke of the matching federal, provincial and city infrastructure grants, announced almost two years ago, which contributed a total of $967,334 to the project.
“It shows that the three levels of government can come together quickly on these intentions without a whole lot of red tape – that’s when things can happen,” Cadieux said. McLean recalled he had three objectives when he first joined the museum board – to have the museum on a sound financial basis, to have a strategic plan in place and “to modernize this building.” “Now, all of these have been
accomplished,” he said. He also paid tribute to the legacy left behind by the late Elizabeth Keeling – a longtime supporter of culture in White Rock – which was also crucial in setting the renovation project in motion. The opening, which was also attended by three former museum directors, Lorraine Ellenwood, Kathleen Tang and Meagan Kus, was formally blessed by First United Church minister Joan McMurtry.
Councillor questions city’s crime strategy Maria Spitale-Leisk Black Press
Surrey’s crime rates are dropping more slowly than the Metro Vancouver average, according to a new report requested by a city councillor who questions the effectiveness of Surrey’s Crime Reduction Strategy (CRS). Coun. Bob Bose isn’t buying the city’s suggestion there is a correlation between the CRS and the drop in criminal activity in Surrey. He said he was left confused after seeing a progress report on the CRS at a council meeting in May that didn’t include comparisons to Metro Vancouver’s overall crime rate.
“My reaction to the original report was I can’t really make any sense of this,” said Bose. So Bose asked the city to put the crime numbers into context. A follow-up report showed there is a greater reduction in crime across Metro Vancouver. Surrey’s CRS was implemented five years ago. From 2006-2009, provincial policing records show that Metro Vancouver’s overall crime rate dropped 20.5 per cent, while Surrey saw a 12.1-percent reduction. “It’s unconvincing when looking at overall crime rates in the Metro Vancouver region,” said Bose. “Is (the CRS)
having any measurable effects on crime rates? I think the answer is no.” Surrey’s Crime Reduction Strategy manager, Colleen Kerr, said she did not include Metro Vancouver crime statistics in her CRS progress report because the focus was on Surrey. She said she is confident the crime figures demonstrate that Surrey is continuing on a downward trend since the CRS began. She noted the number of reported crimes in Surrey is higher this year than in previous years because of targeted education and enforcement campaigns, using marijuana grow operations as an
example. The city has allocated $300,000 in the 2011 budget for the CRS. Kerr said the money is put towards a number of different initiatives and programs that focus on areas such as the prevention of domestic violence and substance abuse. It also covers the wages of the CRS manager. There are additional costs associated with the CRS: closed-circuit TVs in high-crime areas are funded by a $330,000 grant from the provincial government. Surrey also spends $97 million a year for RCMP operating costs, one-third of the city’s budget.

He said he is prone to “angers and frustrations” and that he often dreams of someone crushing his neck. “After I wake up from such nightmares time and again, night after night, I always feel the scars in the neck with my fingers in

Jonathan was the only one of the three Bacon brothers – who police have said were key players in the Red Scorpions gang – not in prison. Jamie, 26, was found guilty of multiple weapons charges last year and awaits trial in the Surrey Six slayings on one count of first-degree murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder. Jarrod, 28, was acquitted in the weapons trial, but is awaiting trial on drug conspiracy and trafficking charges. He was among five arrested in November 2009, following an undercover sting targeting both the Red Scorpions and the UN Gang. Jonathan survived a targeted hit in September 2006, when he was shot several times in the driveway of his family’s east Abbotsford home. He was expected to go to trial sometime next year on drug and weapons charges from August 2005, when police busted a home in the 2000-block of Winfield Drive in Abbotsford where Jonathan lived with his girlfriend, Rayleene Burton.

The case was dismissed by a provincial court judge, but that decision was overturned by the B.C. Court of Appeal, and the appeal ruling was upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada. The new trial had been scheduled to begin June 14, 2012. Jonathan had also been in trouble with the law in 2009, when he was charged with fraud and possession of property obtained by fraudulent means. His co-accused, Dennis Karbovanec, is currently serving a life sentence after pleading guilty to three counts of second-degree murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder in the Surrey Six killings. The two were accused of leasing a 2004 Mercedes SL55 from a Coquitlam car company using false documents. That vehicle is the one Jamie Bacon was driving when he was shot at, in a busy Abbotsford intersection in January 2009. Charges in the fraud case were stayed against Jonathan and Karbovanec. – With files from Kelowna Capital News

We must put children’s safety above all else
W
ith news of a three-month-old Surrey baby being thrown from a vehicle after an accident in Washington last Thursday coming just days after a toddler fell through the third-storey window of a South Surrey townhome, now seems as good a time as any for parents to be reminded to be extra vigilant concerning the safety of their children. Sometimes, it’s a child who sneaks away from their parents’ eyes for just one second, and is temporarily lost; other times, the story is of an unattended youngster falling into a pool. Every summer, these types of incidents – almost always accidents, with no neglect, malice or intent involved – seem to pop up across our communities. In both recent cases – the child in the window, and the baby thrown from the car – the youngsters are remarkably expected to be OK, which is welcome news. They are the lucky ones. Perhaps it’s something about the season – the weather is warmer, so families are spending more time outside, windows and doors are often left open, or screened in, giving the illusion of safety. But whatever the reason, adults should be encouraged to take every step necessary to ensure the safety of children this summer. That car seat appears strapped in properly. That screen window seems secure. But looks can be deceiving, especially through the eyes of a child. And while children cannot be protected from everything – they are going to scrape knees, fall down, sometimes break bones – the proper safety measures still need to be taken to ensure they’re as far away from danger as possible; they are far too precious a commodity for their safety to be taken for granted. Accidents do happen – even in the event that every possible safety measure is followed – but many don’t have to, and we should be doing as much as we can to keep our children safe.

149 responding private sector. A brisk pruning – the report recommends reducing total staff from 6,000 to 4,800 – gives Premier Christy Clark what she asked for. An expected 32-per-cent rate increase over three years will be limited to only 16 per cent. And it leaves BC Hydro’s huge capital works program more or less alone: rebuilding old dams, preparing for Site C and expanding both the grid and generation capacity. The review team also leaves the smart meter program alone, finding more evidence it will pay off in savings. The reviewers found that BC Hydro’s overtime costs are higher than other electrical utilities, and 84 per cent of that is paid to unionized electricians. The top five overtime earners doubled their base salary with overtime pay between $113,000 and $130,000 last year alone. With a smart grid, at least they won’t be collecting so much overtime to drive around searching for downed wires. And I suppose it would be nice to have all overtime paid at double-time, and 17 to 20 “flex days” that can be taken off or traded for cash. But other public sector workers don’t get that. The government milks this cow too. It overcharges BC Hydro for water use, for one thing. What this overhaul may also lead to is an end to former premier Gordon Campbell’s aggressive climate strategy. That’s a complicated issue that I’ll tackle in a subsequent column. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Not quiet on the western front Editor: My wife and I moved to White Rock 12 years ago, and we just love our choice of a retirement site. However, we have become more and more upset with the BNSF trains in the past couple of years. When we moved here in 1999, I considered the trains to be unique and not a nuisance, as there were only, on average, six trains a day passing through. I have recently been informed by BNSF, however, that presently there are up to 16 trains that now pass through White Rock on a daily basis – a huge increase. My wife and I generally walk the pier/promenade twice daily, and are finding it almost impossible to go for our nice ‘walk-by-the-sea’ without encountering a BNSF train spewing out exhaust – sometimes from four engines – blaring their whistles, which also awaken us at all hours of the night, and in general, spoiling our walks altogether. The increased volume of train traffic, creates a much greater risk of a train derailment, with potential for an environmental disaster for the waters of Semiahmoo Bay. I understand that BNSF, an American company, was awarded the contract to move coal from the interior of B.C., through Washington, along our coast, ending up in Delta Port. Does this make any sense? We are truly getting tired of the intrusive noise and air pollution from this foreign carrier, and I encourage all authorities – municipal, provincial and federal – to explore an alternative train route and give us back the peace and tranquility of living by the sea. I have been lobbying these authorities, but one voice is relatively ineffective. So, if anyone shares my concerns, please make yourselves heard! Floyd Stanley, White Rock Q A number of your readers live near blueberry fields where propane cannons fire all day long to ward off birds. Sadly, the birds are less affected by the gunshot sounds than the people living near the farms. In complaining to local politicians – who have done their math and figured that the farmers represent a larger voting block than aggrieved residents – I am told this is another issue that they are best to duck from. My family was left with no alternative but to move or buy a summer place away from Cloverdale. We bought in Point Roberts and stood on the hillside looking back into Delta and Surrey, and guess what we heard – gunshot sounds from cannons across the valley! It almost made us feel at home. Blueberry farmers are making a mockery of good-neighbour policy, and nobody seems to care that some residents are bombarded by loud gunshot sounds all day long. Jim McMurtry, Surrey

Dismissing residents’ concerns over smart meters shows a lack of research and understanding, say letter writers.
To face ridicule when presenting a reasonable, balanced alternative view is a sad commentary on our media and on us as a society.a Linda Ewart
Smarter commentary required Editor: Re: Green Party gets lost in the static, Aug. 2. I read columnist Tom Fletcher’s blurb about Green Party’s Elizabeth May being a kook because she defends those people who – according to you – are kooks who only say they are affected by Wi-Fi, smart meters, cellphones and similar electronic remote devices. Now, I just read a very similar article after yours in the Aug. 15 Macleans, and I’m guessing that there are going to be a lot more write-ups in the same vein. So, tell me, Tom, where do you and all the other media writer/commentators get these blanket opinions for you to put in your own words – almost? Did you really study all the worldwide evidence both for and against smart meters, or are you just saying what you are told to say? Tell a lie often enough, eh, Tom? Edward Rubin, Surrey Q Jane Sterk Enough with the tinfoil-hat jokes. Green Party leader Legislative reporter Tom Fletcher has now joined the ranks of other journalists who use sarcasm and accusations to muddy the waters of understanding and awareness. They dismiss the growing wealth of scientific research and information supporting what people like Elizabeth May and Jane Sterk were brave enough to put forward in their recent press conference. It isn’t easy in today’s political climate to speak an unpopular truth. To enter into a constructive conversation with a powerful conglomerate like Hydro and the provincial Liberals isn’t often attempted. To face ridicule when presenting a reasonable, balanced alternative view is a sad commentary on our media and on us as a society. Must we ignore any opinion or insight that doesn’t reinforce our own? If so, how will we gain or cultivate any kind of reasonable perspective? How will we learn anything? The fact that Peace Arch News chose to grant Fletcher’s form of journalism 587 words’ worth of prime space is disappointing, as, to date, there has been precious little local information about smart meters. This, in light of the fact that, if Hydro has its way, these wireless meters, with all their drawbacks, will be mounted on every home and business by the end of 2011. And people here are still saying, “What’s a smart meter?” This is becoming a very real issue for those who care about their personal security, cost of living, safety, health, human rights and our children’s future. In attempting to discredit the World Health Organization’s rating of RF radiation as a possible 2B carcinogen by pointing to pickled vegetables, Fletcher embarrasses himself yet again. He fails to say the rating places RF in the same category with lead, chloroform, DDT, diesel exhaust, dry-cleaning chemicals and about 200 other possible carcinogens, among them some pickled vegetables from China, where questionable
chemicals are used in their manufacturing process. There is much to learn. Deployment of a radiationemitting device on every home and business – without due diligence or public education – is alarming, to say the least. Even without the added negative influence of wireless metering, there are very few safe zones left in society, especially in urban centres. And it is inconveniently true that electro-sensitivity exists for a sane and significant portion of the general population. Linda Ewart, White Rock, Q How smart are smart meters? Some 60 infants died from apnea-monitor failures, and wheelchair users have been involuntarily ejected – some into traffic – due to radio-frequency interference. Cellphones are known to interfere with pacemakers, defibrillators and electrocardiogram devices. I have endless resources proving the dangers of radiofrequency radiation in a mesh network of two million wireless smart meters in B.C. being dangerous. I would certainly hope that your paper would print a front-page story that more research needs to be done. The BC Utilities Commission needs to be put in place to ensure public safety. John Tolleson, White Rock Q Tom Fletcher is correct. The 2009 BC Greens platform had a timeline that included smart metering by 2012. We did not recommend wireless meters because, as Fletcher mentioned, we have precautionary policy on EMF radiation. Our policy was revised in 2010. The initiatives we wanted implemented prior to new meters – feed-in tariffs, time-of-day pricing and regional management boards – were not in progress at the end of 2009, so that the timeline for smart metering was eliminated. Without being tied to substantial energy conservation, BC Hydro’s smart-meter program is simply a different and more expensive way to collect data. A billion dollars invested in conservation and energy retrofits, diversifying to renewable energy or any number of priorities should precede changing meters. Fletcher may dismiss health concerns associated with Wi-Fi, but people have a right to feel safe and healthy in their own homes. Those who choose not to use wireless technology should not be forced to do so. As I said at the news conference, wireless smart meters are a technological solution looking for a problem. With shrewd marketing, the companies that developed wireless meters have become wealthy with sole-source contracts from government after government. At some point, given deficits and debt load, we will need to reverse the decision-making process so that long-term plans actually precede implementation of new technology. Other jurisdictions are putting moratoriums on or cancelling the installation of smart meters. We are recommending BC Hydro listen to valid privacy, security and health concerns and change course.

Invisible.
School up for grabs Do you have an extra $10 million or so in your bank account? If so, a decommissioned Surrey school and the land it sits on could be yours. Fleetwood Elementary, on 88 Avenue near 152 Street, is being sold by the Surrey School District. The school was closed in 2009 due to its inappropriate location in a commercial area between three major thoroughfares (152 Street, 88 Avenue and Fraser Highway). The district, as required by the B.C. School Act, put out an expression of interest to see if any government agencies or community groups had a suggested use for the school, but nothing came of the effort. So now, the 1944-era building and surrounding 5.2 acres of land is for sale, with an asking price of $9.79 million. In May, the school district also

We’re Retiring! Arson suspected in fire STORE CLOSING SALE Cause of blaze at Town and Country Motel under investigation
Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Fire crews suspect arson in a blaze that hit the Town and Country Motel last week. A fire broke out early Thursday morning at the Town and Country Motel and Trailer Park, 8293 King George Blvd. The cause of the fire is still under
investigation, but arson is suspected and its origin is believed to be on the back porch of the building. The Surrey Fire Department received a call at just before 5 a.m. and arrived to find the two-storey motel office ablaze. Three occupants were found outside the building and no one
was inside when crews arrived. No one was seriously hurt in the fire, but one firefighter was hit with a piece of the ceiling when it fell. Fire crews had the fire out in about a half an hour. It’s expected the incident will become a police file when the investigation by Surrey firefighters is complete.

VICTORIA – More than 1.6 million voters sent in their ballots for B.C.’s referendum on the harmonized sales tax, a participation rate that matches the 51 per cent turnout for the 2009 B.C. election. Elections BC sent out just over three million ballot packages starting in June, then extended the deadline for returning them by two weeks after a labour dispute at Canada Post delayed distribution. Temporary staff at Elections BC are working seven days a week in two shifts, intending to have the ballots verified and counted by the end of August. A simple majority of votes cast will decide whether B.C. keeps the HST and lowers the rate by two points to 10 per cent in the next three years, or reinstates the former seven per cent provincial sales tax on top of the five per cent federal GST. Acting chief electoral officer Craig James said the time extension increased the cost of the referendum by $500,000 but the total cost is estimated to be $8.9

Monthly transit passes hoped to curb losses, fraud
Reformed U-Pass rolls out Jeff Nagel Black Press
TransLink and area universities are rolling out a tightened system to dispense and regulate student transit U-Passes that were often lost in the mail or illegally resold. The change comes as 60,000 additional students join an expanded, revamped U-Pass program that gives them all unlimited transit for $30 per month, charged with student fees. Each college or university is installing vending machines that will dispense the new U-Passes to students each month after they swipe their student cards. The monthly U-Passes replace the old system of mailing out passes that were good for an entire four-month term. TransLink estimated $15 million worth of U-Passes were being reported lost or stolen each year and replaced. Many of them later found their way into the hands of other users.
Spokesman Ken Hardie said mailing the passes was problematic because many students weren’t diligent about keeping their mailing address up to date. “Cards were being sent off and lost in the ether,” he said. Officials hope doling out the passes just one month at a time via machine will solve that problem and make them harder to sell them as well. Paying for U-Passes is mandatory but students in areas poorly served by transit contend they can’t use them and often try to resell them. The passes are non-transferrable but equivalent in value to a $151 three-zone monthly pass, so students who sold them could turn a tidy profit. Hardie said websites like craigslist and vansky.com have agreed to delete ads trying to sell U-Passes. And he said students who enroll for courses and then drop out – or otherwise cease to
be eligible – won’t be able to get the next month’s pass. Since the new U-Passes won’t bear names or photos, students must be prepared to show their student cards as well when they board transit. The switch to the new U-Pass system followed lengthy negotiations between TransLink and the colleges and universities. Blair Jensen, chair of the coalition of Metro Vancouver public institutions, said the changes bring significant costs for each school, but added the provincial government put up a one-time $11-million subsidy to assist. The new system of vending machines spitting out U-Passes will be in effect less than two years. In the spring of 2013, TransLink expects to launch its Compass smart card system for transit payment and the Compass chip will then be embedded in student cards so they act as transit passes as well.

A man whose two dogs went missing in South Surrey earlier this month is asking anyone with information about their whereabouts to come forward. Vancouver resident David Birch said his golden doodle, Sammy, and standard poodle, Olive, first went missing in Langley two weeks ago, after escaping from his mother’s yard. He has since learned the dogs – which were wearing identification tags – had only been gone for about 30 minutes when they wandered over to a community hall in Murrayville and were taken home by a woman taking an exercise class there. Birch said the woman, who lives in South Surrey, told him she had put the dogs in her yard with the intention of taking

land far, far away will be within reach of Peninsula princesses this month, when Star of the Sea Community Centre is transformed into the stuff fairy tales are made of for one magical day. Girls between the ages of two and 11 are invited to dress in their best princess attire for the second annual Princess Party, where they can stroll down a magic carpet, meet Cinderella and be crowned with a tiara by a fairy godmother. The Aug. 27 event will also feature a magic castle that has prizes to be won for every princess, a cakewalk, cookie decorating, an interactive story time, face painting and other fun games and surprises. White Rock Youth Ambassadors will be on hand with simple makeup and hair accessories, and White Rock firefighters will serve up hot dogs and juice for a
nominal fee. The celebration is to be bigger and better than last year’s sell-out event, which drew more than 100 princesses and brought in $3,450 for White Rock firefighters’ fundraising campaign for Variety the Children’s Charity. Organizer and local grandmother Myra Merkal – whose son, Evan Bird, is a White Rock firefighter – said this year’s venue can accommodate twice as many people as last year, and she hopes to raise $10,000. This time, event proceeds will benefit White Rock Fire Fighters Charity Association’s efforts to create a destination park in White Rock that is accessible to people with disabilities, and can be utilized by children and adults alike. But the Princess Party isn’t just about fundraising or indulging in all things girly. It’s also an opportunity to teach children the importance of virtues such as compassion, consideration, caring and generosity,
Merkal said. “If all of us adults and all of the children were taught to live by values, there would be zero bullying in the schools,” she said. “Yes, we’re doing hair, and yes, we’re doing makeup and we’re providing a day of fun and magic and princesses, but… we’re hoping to teach children not only to recognize the beauty in them, but the beauty in others.” A good example is also being set by those who are helping make the party reality, Merkal noted. “It’s great for the little girls to see this, too, that we’re volunteering and we’re giving time and we want to help others.” And, just like last year, the party is meant to reinforce young girls’ belief that dreams can come true. “I have two little granddaughters and they’re the core and the key of the love of my life,” Merkal said. “It’s the most beautiful gift that I’ve ever received, having those

two little girls, and I just want to do this so they have fun… and they believe in their dreams, and also that we’re doing this for a higher purpose,” she said. “This is an event, if you have a little princess in your life, that you do not want her to miss.” The Princess Party will be held from 12:30 to 3 p.m. at 15262 Pacific Ave. Tickets ($25 for one princess and chaperone) can be purchased online at www.wrprincessparty.com or by visiting Remax Colonial Pacific Realty at 15414 24 Ave. The website notes that “a special fairy godmother” wants to ensure all little girls are able to attend. Those requiring financial assistance can email Merkal at wrprincessparty@yahoo.ca Merkal can also be contacted at the address for sponsorship and donations (items are still needed for a raffle table and decorations) or more information.

Special Olympic medallist Stacey Kohler (third from left) is joined by Fred, Beryl and Scott Kohler for a visit with MP Russ Hiebert at Semiahmoo House, with Judy Battley and fellow medallist Derek Tomm.
MP visits Semiahmoo House Society to honour Olympic victors
Medallists congratulated MP Russ Hiebert (South SurreyWhite Rock-Cloverdale) visited Semiahmoo House Society last month to deliver congratulatory certificates to Special Olympic World Summer Games athletes Stacey Kohler and Derek Tomm. Kohler and Tomm both won bronze medals with Team Canada – in the 3,000-metre race and soccer, respectively – in Athens, Greece in July. “The achievements of both these athletes on the world stage
brings great pride to our community and we are happy to honour them today,” Hiebert said July 27. “Of course, behind every great athlete are great parents, family members and friends, and I want to recognize the contributions and sacrifices that each of you have made in supporting and encouraging Stacey and Derek towards achieving their dreams.” Hiebert further acknowledged Semiahmoo House Society, which supports individuals and
families challenged with a developmental disability. “I want to thank Semiahmoo House Society staff and volunteers for your dedication and support for our two Olympic medallists and for many others in our community that you graciously serve.” Kohler and Tomm also spoke to the crowd, explaining what they did in Athens, their favourite things in Greece and how they trained for the Olympics.

lifestyles Newton couple celebrates 70 years of marriage
‘He’s lucky to have me, and I’m lucky to have him’ Maria Spitale-Leisk
K
Black Press
en and Betty Chapman have literally battled rough waters together in their 70 years of marriage. Ken once swam a mile in the choppy waters of Laclu, Ont., when no one else dared to. It was during an annual regatta at the lake. The swimming event had been postponed due to stormy weather. That didn’t stop Ken – who was in his 70s at the time – from jumping in the water and Betty from tailing him in her rowboat. Seated on the couch in their Newton townhouse, Ken gently lifts a scrapbook of memories from Betty’s shaking hands. Born three days apart, Ken and Betty – both 94 years old – remain young at heart. “He’s lucky to have me, and I’m lucky to have him,” says Betty. A collection of meticulously cropped black-and-white photos line each page of the scrapbook. A snapshot of Betty, all dolled up in a ruffled dress, catches Ken’s eye. “She’s pretty good-looking,” Ken says smiling, his blue eyes twinkling. Ken and Betty met in Winnipeg during the Great Depression. They lived two blocks away from each other, near the centre of the city. “So I didn’t have to go far to find her,” says Ken. The young couple’s dates consisted of a walk up to Main Street. Occasionally they attended picture shows. “It was 25 cents to get in, and you came home with a piece of dinnerware. We got quite a few pieces,” recalls Ken.

Newton’s Betty and Ken Chapman married in 1941 in Winnipeg (above, right) and are celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary this year. Together, the couple took in the first talking movie – The Jazz Singer, in 1927. There was no marriage proposal. A wedding was simply a matter-of-fact progression after seven years of dating. When Ken and Betty were 24 years old, they wed in a no-frills, church ceremony on Aug. 18, 1941. Betty didn’t wear a traditional wedding dress. “In the war, you didn’t do things like that.
Home or Business Insurance Due?
Everyone concentrated on war efforts,” explains Ken, who enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force. A modest cabin on Laclu, a few hours east of Winnipeg, was the honeymoon spot. “When it was time to go back to Winnipeg, the mice had eaten all of my underwear,” Betty remembers. In later years, every summer the couple returned to Laclu with their four children: Ken, Bruce, Lisa and Beverley.
“Dad swam a mile every day, with mom behind him in the rowboat,” says Beverley. “They do everything together.” The Chapmans moved to Victoria in 1975, where they lived until eight years ago. These days, a well-manicured gated community in Newton, with waterfalls and koi ponds, offers serenity for the pair. Ken keeps up his swimming regiment in the lap pool; Betty enjoys a game of cards with her friends in the clubhouse. Repairing cuckoo clocks has also become a hobby for Ken, a retired director of engineering with Air Canada. The Chapman children – some of whom live in Alberta and Ontario – are en route to Surrey this week to mark their parents’ big day. On Thursday, the group plans to go out for dinner on a river cruise to celebrate Ken and Betty’s 70th wedding anniversary. “There’s nothing to it. All you have to do is stay alive,” says Ken, of the milestone. Oh, “and you both have to like each other.”

Puppy raisers urgently needed what’s Pacific Assistance Dogs Society (PADS) – which helps people with disabilities live more independent lives with the assistance of a specially trained dog at their side – is seeking volunteer puppy raisers for three new litters. Puppy raises take an eight- to 10-weekold puppy into their homes, and attend weekly training sessions. After about a year, the dog is returned back to PADS for advanced training and to be matched with a client. For people with disabilities or or who are mobility or agility challenged, service dogs are trained to retrieve dropped items, turn light switches on and off, assist with shopping, push elevator buttons, carry parcels, pull wheelchairs and more.

the scene …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Outside The Box The upcoming Semiahmoo Peninsula celebration of an oftenoverlooked idiom – fibre and textile art – is called Outside The Box. It’s an 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 collaborative mural by more than 20 members of the Virtuosi Infraganti Collective at White Rock Museum and Archives; a main display at White Rock Community Centre; 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 Langara College students; and an exhibition of art quilts at White Rock Library. Also on offer will be a day of displays and demonstrations by weavers, spinners and quilters at 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 South Surrey libraries and displays by the South Surrey and White Rock Art Society at Coast Capital Playhouse. For more information, visit www.outsidetheboxwhiterock.com
Flamenco Del Mar Tickets are on sale now for South Surrey-based flamenco school and company, Flamenco Del Mar’s 10th anniversary of its annual festival, which returns to the Coast Capital Playhouse Friday, Sept. 2 and Saturday, Sept. 3 at 8 p.m. In addition to dances by the company and founder and instructor Jill Tunbridge, the show will also feature performances by cantaor (singer) Farnaz Ohadi, classical flamenco guitarist Peter Mole, well-known local latin pop and nuevo flamenco guitarist Doug Towle and bailoras (dancers) Bev Montovani (Sept. 2 only) and Veronica Stewart (Sept. 3 only). Tickets are $20 in advance, and $25 at the door. For tickets and further performance information,

t’s the ultimate Cloverdale community event. How else to describe the eighth annual Cloverdale Blueberry Festival, which combined the irresistible spectacle of hundreds of candycoloured classic cars and vintage vehicles in the historic downtown with a bounty of family-friendly attractions, and blueberries galore? This year’s festival attracted as many as 20,000 visitors, says Paul Orazietti, executive director of the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association, festival co-organizer along with the Cloverdale and District Chamber of Commerce. Car buffs and auto enthusiasts from across the Lower Mainland swarmed into downtown Cloverdale for the Surrey Classic Show ‘n’ Shine, while competitive eaters of every age and description ate their way through 40 blueberry pies, across Highway 10 in Clover Square Village, site of thrilling BMX bike stunts, live music performances, face-painting, a display by Cinemazoo Animal Agency, and more. Orazietti said 270 cars and vehicles were registered in this year’s Show ‘n’ Shine. Well over 100 participated in the cruise-in from downtown to the Cloverdale Fairgrounds for a dance hosted by the Cloverdale Rodeo Saturday evening. call 604-536-7535, visit whiterockplayers.ca, call 604-5422096 or email flamencotickets@ hotmail.com
Bedfull of Foreigners The wacky British bedroom farce A Bedfull of Foreigners – directed by Ellie King for her Royal Canadian Theatre Company – continues until Aug. 28 in 8 p.m. performances at the Coast Capital Playhouse (1532 Johnston Rd.). The high-energy door-slammer, set in a 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).

Entrants in the popular blueberry pie-eating contest clean up after this year’s competition at the Cloverdale Blueberry Festival. The Arts Council of Surrey hosted a juried art show and craft fair at Surrey Museum Plaza (attracting out-of-town visitors from as far away as Prince George and cities in the B.C. Interior). The Surrey Museum hosted its annual Pic-Knit event with knitters, spinners and suppliers. Many businesses reported a riproaring trade thanks to the sunny Saturday crowds. “It was phenomenal this year,” said BIA member Tricia Ellingsen, of 176 Street’s Tricia’s Gems. Ellingsen said vendors selling food, blueberries and other treats were able to keep up with the hungry crowds. The Langley Lions Club, which served up
blueberry pancakes for breakfast and hotdogs and burgers for lunch, sold out. The Cloverdale Legion sold a reported 700 blueberry pancakes at its annual breakfast fundraiser. Dan Donnelly of the Teamsters Horsemen said the motorcycle enthusiast group raised $500 for the BC SPCA by letting people pose for photographs on their bikes at the festival. The Cloverdale United Church ran one of the busiest food stands, serving up slices of home-baked blueberry pies as well as whole pies to a steady line of customers. Church volunteers picked 100 pounds of fresh berries last week, and it took 16 people five hours to bake more than 200 pies, May Taylor said.
Accomplice auditions
While the venue is unavailable Aug. 24 because of another event, the band will be back to perform on Sunday, Aug. 28 from 3 to 6 p.m. Admission is $10 (age 19 and over, only) or $8 for society or legion members.
White Rock Players Club is auditioning actors for its 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.
Red Beans & Rice The house band for the White Rock Traditional Jazz Society, Red Beans & Rice, featuring Rice Honeywell, is keeping a reliable staple of the musical diet – the danceable sounds of Dixieland jazz – going during the society’s summer hiatus, with Sunday afternoon sessions at the Royal Canadian Legion, Crescent Branch 240, 2643 128 St.
Small Ritual 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 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 (Aug. 22), bassist James Meger, drummer Omar Amlani and trumpeter Steve An. Both Saturday and Sunday evening (usually running 5-9 p.m.) offer a rewarding opportunity for local fans to
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 778867-1457
Adrian Michael Adrian Michael, a 16-year-old jazz piano prodigy, will play at Iguana’s on Marine Drive with his trio every Thursday at 6:30 p.m. throughout 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. The Thursday night gigs mark an interesting return to Iguana’s for Michael, who first sat in there with keyboardist Willie McCalder – from whom he learned more than a few blues licks – when he was only nine years old.
Crescent showcase Crescent Beach Moments, a showcase for several local artists, runs to Aug. 30 at the Upstairs Gallery at Seventh Heaven Art & Beauty Salon, at 12185 Beecher St. (the main street into the South Surrey seaside community from Crescent Road). Featured artists in the showcase include Judy Jordison, Jim Cowan, Joan McLardy, Ron Glowe, Jackie Neufeld and Luc Charchuk, as well as nature photographer Eric Kehler. Showcase subjects will include sunsets in popular local areas such as Crescent Beach and White Rock, other landscapes (including west coast shores and forests, Blackie Spit and paintings inspired by the iconic work of artist Emily Carr), and figurative compositions. The show, co-sponsored by Tiggy’s Folk Art Studio and Seventh Heaven, can be seen during open house viewings every Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Tuesday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. (other times by appointment). For more information, call 778292-0687 or Charchuk at 604-5413677.

Peninsula weatherman lands morning TV gig Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter
Russ Lacate meteorologist
South Surrey meteorologist Russ Lacate has added television duties to an already busy weather-reporting schedule. Since Aug. 9, Lacate, who had more than 20 years experience in the field and currently reports on radio for News 1130, has also appeared daily on Citytv’s Breakfast Television, which is hosted by Riaz Meghji and Dawn Chubai. Lacate will juggle his new TV
job with his News 1130 position, which he’ll continue. “I have a radio mic set up just a few feet from my spot on (Breakfast Television),” he said, though he admitted he was a little nervous about his TV debut. “It’s exciting, but a little nervewracking at the same time. But it’s good to get re-invigorated about your career from time to time.” Born in Victoria, Lacate has lived in South Surrey the past 15 years and is one of a number of
Vancouver TV and radio meteorologists to call the Semiahmoo Peninsula home, including Mark Madryga, Phil Reimer, Wayne Cox and Kristi Gordon – who was born at Peace Arch Hospital. “Well they say White Rock is the sunniest place in the Lower Mainland,” Lacate laughed. “When you’re driving back from the city, you see that little spot of sunshine on the horizon, so I guess that’s why all us weather guys decided to live
here. The secret’s out, I guess.” Though Lacate’s affable nature will no doubt translate well to television, he admits he was a little surprised to receive the offer in the first place. “I said, ‘don’t you realize I’m a middle-aged man with a gut? Is that the way TV is going now?’ The Bachelor, it’s not,” he laughed. “But I do intend to make it a success, and I’m excited, and was pretty darn flattered to get the offer.”

Grade 10 teammates to spend two months in England
Marriott rugby pair heading overseas Nick Greenizan

hey’ve talked with their coach, and with teammates who’ve travelled to play overseas, but still, both Calixto Martinez and Nick Wright admit they don’t quite know what to expect when they head there themselves. The duo, teammates at Bayside Rugby and at Earl Marriott Secondary, where they’re heading into Grade 10, leave next week for Wimbledon College in England, where they’ll spend two months going to school and playing rugby with the school team. While in England, they’ll live with various host families. “I’m excited about it, definitely, but I’ve got a few jitters, too,” said Wright, who plays on the backrow. “But everyone who has gone has said it’s been a really positive experience. “It’s a really special opportunity for us.” “When the chance came, I instantly said ‘yes,’” added Martinez, who plays prop. The rugby exchange was facilitated by EMS rugby coach Adam Roberts, who each year for the last five has sent a few players to Europe for the fall school term. “It’ll be a big eye-opener for them, for sure, to be in that kind of rugby culture,” said Roberts, who took part in a similar exchange himself, when he attended Semiahmoo Secondary. The boys are not completely unfamiliar with Wimbledon College’s rugby program. Last fall, the English side came to the Peninsula on an exhibition tour, and Wright said he has been in contact with a few of his future teammates on Facebook already. The trip will also be made easier, Martinez said, because they are heading there together – even
though they’ll stay with different host families. “Because we’re going together, I think it’ll be easier to adjust. It’s going to be a lot of fun.” The play on the field is expected to be fierce, and both teens know they’re in for some intense action on the pitch. “We know that the competition is going to be really tough, so hopefully I’m able to come back with a bit of (rugby) knowledge, and some more skills,” Wright said. In addition to on-field activities, they’re also looking forward to soaking up some local culture. In fact, Wright is headed overseas a few days early in order to tour the area and do some sightseeing. The Rugby World Cup will also be staged while the pair are in the U.K., and though the event is not going to be played on English soil – it’s slated for New Zealand – it will likely turn the boys’ temporary home even more rugby-mad. “It’ll be pretty cool to be able to watch some England games with their crazy fans,” said Wright. Preparing for the long trip makes for a busy month for the pair, especially Martinez, who leaves this week for Calgary, where he’s set to play for Team BC’s U16 side at rugby nationals. “When I get back from Calgary, I’m only home for a day before I have to leave again,” he said. Martinez and Wright will return to the Peninsula in mid-October, and though they’ll keep pace with their EMS curriculum as much as they can – in addition to tackling their Wimbledon course load – Wright knows he’ll have to play a little catchup the rest of the school year. “It’ll be a tough semester when I get back, but it’ll be worth it,” he said.
Sean McGovern spent last season with Taft Prep School in Connecticut
Eagles’ new forward on scouts’ radar already Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
A busy August for Surrey Eagles head coach Matt Erhart continued last week, when – just days after making a pair of big trades – the team announced the signing of 17-year-old Sean McGovern. McGovern, a Milton, Ont. native, spent last season playing at Taft Prep School in Watertown, Conn. The six-foot, 175-pound forward – described by the Eagles as “a solid two-way forward with excellent speed” is already on the radar of National Hockey League clubs. He is currently listed as a B-level prospect
on the 2012 NHL Central Scouting pre-season watch list. McGovern is expected to be at the B.C. Hockey League club’s training camp when it hits the ice at South Surrey Arena Aug. 22. The signing comes within a week of the Eagles making a pair of off-season deals. First, they swapped first-line forward Richard Vanderhoek to the Westside Warriors in exchange for defenceman Matt Cronin, and followed that by sending blue-liner Josh Monk to the Cowichan Valley Capitals in exchange for the rights to Ontarioborn Brandon Tanev, who wanted to
play in B.C. to be closer to his older brother, Chris Tanev, a 21-year-old defenceman who is expected to play this fall for the Vancouver Canucks. Earlier this summer, the Eagles also picked up former Langley Chiefs – now called the Rivermen – tough guy Brandon Scholten in a trade, sending future considerations back to Langley.
Skills camp Lead by Erhart, the Eagles are hosting a skills and development camp this week at South Surrey Arena, for minor hockey players of all ages. The weeklong camp began yesterday, and runs until Aug. 19.

sports South Surrey open-water swimmer still has eyes on earning spot at London 2012 Games
Weinberger earns invite to Olympic course Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
After an impressive performance at World Aquatic Championships earlier this summer, Richard Weinberger earned an invite to a London invitational meet last weekend, where he competed on the same 10-km open-water course that will be used at the 2012 Summer Olympics. Weinberger, a 21-year-old South Surrey native who now lives and trains in Victoria, finished 17th in the 10-km swim at worlds, which were held in Shanghai, China. “One of my goals in Shanghai was to make the London Invitational,” Weinberger said in a release. The 10-km race – which is being called an Olympic test event – was held Saturday at London’s Hyde Park. Had Weinberger fininshed in the top-10 in Shanghai, he would have automatically qualified for the Summer Games – “I missed the top 10 by 10 seconds,” he said –

Roller-hockey pair scoop title Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Two South Surrey teens were part of roller-hockey history last month, as members of the first Canadian team to ever win the squirt platinum division of North American Roller Hockey Championships. Davis Koch and Trevor Ayre were both members of the Westcoast Warriors, a team of 13-yearolds from Surrey and Langley who went undefeated in the prestigious tournament, held at the end of July in Estero, Fla. The Warriors – who had originally hoped to simply advance to playoff rounds, considering they were up against tough American competition – defeated Coast to Coast, a team from Missouri, 4-1 in the championship game. Prior to that win, the Warriors edged California’s Revision Vanquish 3-2 in semifinals; Koch
