Timing is everything, as Surrey opens visitor centre Surrey’s new Visitor Centre will open its doors to the public next week, just in time to greet visitors to the 2010 Olympic Games. “I couldn’t have made it any closer,” Tourism Surrey’s Cathy James said Monday. Finishing touches are still needed on the 3,000-square-foot centre located on 176 Street just north of the Pacific Highway border crossing, James said. Still, officials will celebrate this evening (Wednesday) with a

ribbon-cutting at the facility. The $1-million centre was five years in the making, from the simple idea to build it to the reality of its completion. Situated on agricultural land leased for 35 years from the owners of the neighbouring Campbell Valley Store, it was originally hoped to open in time for the 2009 tourist season. Though Tourism Surrey is contracted to operate the $4.5-million provincial visitor

centre at the Peace Arch border, the new centre is exclusively Surrey’s, a point officials say gives the city better opportunity to promote Surrey and its products. Construction began last May. The building, with a glass-and-woodbeam front, is also home to Tourism Surrey’s offices. Until last month, Tourism Surrey operated out of Central City. - Tracy Holmes

Canada’s national women’s fastpitch team won’t play on the Peninsula this summer, after a scheduling conflict cancelled the women’s division of the Canada Cup. File photo

Younger teams to compete under new tournament banner this year

Canada Cup struck out by schedule Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

A scheduling conflict has sent the Canada Cup’s main draw to the sidelines for 2010. Organizers announced Monday the women’s division – which features national fastpitch squads from across the globe, as well as the best club teams in the U.S. – would not be part of this year’s Canada Cup because the tournament start date, July 3, comes just one day after the International Softball Federation’s Women’s World Championships, which run June 23-July 2 in Venezuela.

Canada Cup’s two other tournaments, in World Championships announced a date the Futures (U18) and Showcase (U16) divi- change, which was necessitated by the South sions, are to still hit the field as planned, American Summer Games, Todd said. but under a new tourna“We thought everyment name, according to ❝There was nothing we could do thing would coincide White Rock Renegades about it.

The World Cup of Softball is held annually in Oklahoma, right after the Canada Cup. “There was nothing we could do about it. It was a domino effect.” The women’s division has always been Canada Cup’s biggest draw, as participating national squads competed at the Olympics. The 2008 Games in Beijing were the last to include softball and baseball; the two sports failed in a bid for reinstatement last year. Sixteen teams competed in the women’s division at last year’s Canada Cup. more local reaction, page 39

Canada-wide relay arrives Feb. 9

Early morning for torch watchers in White Rock Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

In less than two weeks, the Olympic torch will finally make its much-anticipated appearance on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, and the City of White Rock has a number of events planned to mark its arrival. The flame passes through town Tuesday, Feb. 9, but the celebration begins a day earlier, Feb. 8 at 4 p.m., when the Royal Hudson steam train rolls down Marine Drive. Excursions aboard the historic train are available, presented by the West Coast Railway Association and BNSF Railway. The next day, those interested in following the torch through town will have to get up early – the relay begins at 6:30 a.m. An hour later, at 7:30 a.m. until 10:30 a.m., White Rock’s Spirit of BC committee, along with White Rock firefighters, will host a pancake breakfast at the White Rock Community Centre, 15154 Russell Ave. Though some locations of the relay, including Marine Drive and the Peace Arch, have been revealed by the torchbearers themselves, VANOC torch relay officials said they would not publicly announce routes in specific cities until one week ahead of the torch’s arrival. The week of Olympic festivities wraps up Feb. 12 – opening day of the Games

– with a community party at the White Rock Community Centre, from 6-9 p.m. Meanwhile, the day before the torch arrives on the Peninsula, it will be in Surrey, an official “venue city”, where many activities are planned. On Feb. 8, the torch will arrive at Cloverdale’s Surrey Museum Plaza at 2:40 p.m., and it will stop by Surrey City Hall at 3:30 p... Later in the evening, at 6:30 p.m., the torch will reach the celebration site at Holland Park. The celebration site will host all manner of activities and entertainment throughout the Olympics, Feb. 12-24 (except Mondays and Tuesdays). On Monday, a handful of Surrey’s more notable torchbearers were announced – a list that includes Surrey native Adam Loewen, an outfielder in the Toronto Blue Jays’ system; Cloverdale swimmer and 2004 Olympian Brittany Reimer; RCMP Chief Superindendent Fraser MacRae; Monty Raisinghani, a BC Community Achievement Award winner; and Global TV meteorologist Mark Madryga, a South Surrey resident. The Spirit of BC committee is also recruiting volunteers. For information or to sign up, call Amy Bauman at 604-541-2236.

news Seniors component dropped from project

Epta highrise proposal back for perusal Alex Browne Staff Reporter

The Epta proposal – which has changed from an assisted-living project for seniors to a general market residential highrise – has returned to White Rock council. But it is soon to go before the public to gauge their reaction to the proposal, which now includes a 17-storey building on George Street, as well as a two-storey commercial/ residential building on Johnston Road. Last week, council voted in its land use and planning committee to move the project – which now comes with a promise of cash for city amenities in return for greater density – on to a public-information meeting Feb. 3.

Staff was also directed to return results of this meeting for council, so that it could consider rescinding an earlier bylaw for the project, giving second reading to an amended bylaw and authorizing a new public hearing. In November, responding to council’s rejection of the previous incarnation of the project, Epta Properties’ Angelo Tsakumis declared, “White Rock is closed for business.” Last week, in welcoming Tsakumis back to council chambers, Mayor Catherine Ferguson said she was “glad to see he recognized that White Rock is still open for business.” The proponents had previously stated they were unable to proceed with the project as

“independent living for seniors.” The frequently changed proposal now includes a highrise on George Street to maximum current OCP height (48.7 metres or 160 feet) providing 108 residential units. The Johnston Road component now consists of a 10.6-metre (35-feet) building offering 337.5 sq. m. (3,633 sq. ft.) of commercial space, topped by four one-bedroom apartments. This is down from the 50-foot, four-storey version of the building contemplated while the seniors housing option was being explored. Development services director Paul Stanton’s report to council noted the applicants are proposing to make these four units avail-

The pride of Grandview Anyone missing a large bird? Blue, lots of feathers, pretty fearless? A rogue peacock drew a crowd to an area of Grandview Corners Friday morning, after wandering into the parking lot of Wal-Mart Supercentre. The bird – a male, according to one passerby – strolled from the corner of 160 Street and 24 Avenue and into the north-end of the parking lot, where he was met by camera-toting customers and Wal-Mart employees, one of whom even tried to corral the creature, but was unsuccessful. While some concerned spectators implored others to call the SPCA or animal rescue – a veterinarian was eventually called – most seemed bemused by the situation. “Where’d this guy come from? It’s not even the right season for these birds, is it?” asked one picturetaker. After evading capture by the Wal-Mart employee on the north side of the building, the fearless bird – who showed little regard for the rules of the road – moved west towards The Brick, where he crossed the street and wandered off into the distance. - Nick Greenizan

able for five years as “a form of cost-sensitive market housing with the intent of housing local residents who wish to live and work in the City of White Rock. He said the applicants have also offered “a significant amenity contribution to the city in return for the building height and density proposed.” In a letter to Stanton, Tsakumis suggested this would take the form of a “cash equivalency for the increase in density to the building fronting George Street.” Tsakumis said the cash in lieu would be provided to the city on completion, and the amount would be determined with city staff prior to issuing a development permit.

Casino decision delayed

A peacock refuses to be corralled by an employee of Wal-Mart Friday in Grandview Corners.

An influx of letters – including one from Fraser Downs – concerning a casino, hotel and convention centre proposed for South Surrey prompted city councillors to delay third reading on bylaw amendments that would permit its development. Council decided at Monday’s public hearing that it “needs more time to digest everything,” said city clerk Jane Sullivan. “We had received a number of letters during the day.” Developer Bob Cheema wants to erect a 200-suite hotel, 800-seat convention centre and casino on lands between Highway 99 and 168 Street. Cheema has said the casino is not a make-or-break component of the project, and that he plans to go ahead with the hotel and convention centre even if the casino is rejected. Surrey council gave an early nod to Cheema’s plan on Jan. 11 and advanced the proposal to Monday’s public hearing. Sullivan said 81 people registered in favour of the issue; four noted opposition. Of nine who spoke, opinions were mixed, she said. The issue is now set to come back to council Feb. 1. - Tracy Holmes

Alleged caterer makes off with 332 lbs. of Parmigiano-Reggiano

Con takes Olympic bite out of cheese business Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Looking back, Mauricio Kremer can see the warning signs. The woman who ordered the cheese from his Marine Drive specialty store called from a private number. She initially wanted to pay by cheque from an American account, which would take 30 days to clear. The credit card she eventually paid with was declined twice before Kremer’s call to the bank pushed the transaction through. “There were a few things that... kind of triggered my curiosity,” Kremer said Friday, thinking back through the steps that have left him $4,200 out-of-pocket. The money was the price of four wheels – 332 lbs. – of Italian Par-

migiano-Reggiano ordered Jan. 12 by a woman professing to operate a catering company. She said she needed the cheese for Olympic catering events on the coming weekend, and emphasized the need for everyone to work together to make the Olympics the best ever, Kremer said. The order was put together and the cheese picked up Jan. 15. Kremer said any hesitation he felt at the outset was eased by the woman’s apparent expertise in the industry. She knew, for example, that Parmigiano-Reggiano is too hard to cut and must be cracked, as well as how to store it. “She gave me all the right answers,” Kremer said. “She was a pro.”

Kremer, who opened Keso Cheese in July with his partner, Andrew, said police have told him this is not the first time they have seen similar frauds. In two recent incidents, the amounts lost were even more than Kremer’s, he said. Still, $4,200 is a “huge” hit during a season when sales are typically slower, he said. Kremer said he is further “outraged” the two banks involved are “passing the ball” on the matter. One approved the credit card transaction even though it was flagged by their security system; each is saying the ball is in the other’s court, he said. Kremer is hopeful police will catch up with those responsible for the cheese fraud.

Brian Giebelhaus photo

Marine Drive store is out $4,200. Not only did they tell him they recognized the scam, but they were also familiar with the address listed for the recipient, and even had an idea on the identity of the individual who picked up the cheese,

Kremer said. Const. Janelle Shoihet said Tuesday investigation into the fraud is ongoing. In the meantime, Kremer wants to warn others to be wary of people using the Olympic excitement to prey on business owners. “The way she sold me was on the Olympics,” Kremer said of the alleged caterer. “There is a lot of rush and hope about the Olympic Games, and unfortunately, crooks out there banking on the hopes of business owners like myself. “I want it to get out so it doesn’t happen to anybody else.” Anyone with information on the culprits may contact White Rock RCMP at 604-531-5527.

Meyer’s campaign tops list Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Records of campaign contributions and expenses for White Rock’s November byelection shows winning candidate, Grant Meyer, spent more to get elected than any of his opponents. The records, released this month by chief election officer and city clerk Tracey Arthur, show that Meyer – who won 705 votes, 29 per cent of the 2,443 cast – spent $7,705.65 on his campaign. That was almost $2,000 more than the second costliest campaign, that of candidate Bruce Kleeberger, who spent $5,838 to finish fifth in the running with 292 votes. Of five individual campaign contributions listed by Meyer, two were from former White Rock councillors: Cliff Annable gave $250, while Stewart Peddemors volunteered $100. A corporate donation from

Grant Meyer top spender

Dave Chesney candidate

principals Peter Cross and John Devlin of Surrey-based numbered company 420910 B.C. Ltd. accounted for $500. By far, the largest listed contribution, however, came from Meyer himself, who donated $6,485.65 to his own campaign. Dave Chesney, who finished second in the polls, spent a total of $2,290.78, receiving some $1,875 in campaign contributions, most of it small amounts from individual contributors, along with

$275 given anonymously. Third most expensive campaign was that of Business Improvement Association president Bill Lawrence, who finished third, with 307 votes. Lawrence spent $4,540.91, most of which he paid himself, aside from anonymous contributions totalling $1,635. Teresa McFadden spent $4,272.75 for which she listed herself as sole contributor. Tom Corless (134 votes) spent 4,166.93, and received contributions totalling 2,204.08. Candidate Roger Emanuels (297 votes) spent $3330.82, and listed campaign contributions of only $550, of which $500 came from Butler Investments of White Rock. The byelection’s leanest campaign was run by David Mensour (51 votes) who contributed $120 out of his own pocket, and spent $118.52.

BIA members introduced to council Alex Browne & Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporters

The board elected at last week’s Business Improvement Association annual general meeting was formally introduced to White Rock council Monday. Executive director Russ Davies appeared as a delegation, explaining the majority of members approved and renewed the BIA for a further 10 years. “It’s quite an accomplishment having your membership approve a 10-year mandate,” Mayor Catherine Ferguson said. After a raucous year – in which businessman Larry Anschell announced a takeover last summer, forming his own board and filing it as the official BIA directorship on record in Victoria – 94 voting members of the BIA who were present or represented at the AGM Jan. 18 approved

the organization’s financial levy schedule for the next 10 years, gave approval to the 2010-11 operational budget, elected six new board members and ratified new bylaws. Davies had said after last week’s meeting the next step would be for for the city to “formalize the renewal process through a final petition to commercial property owners and the city council’s due diligence.” Anschell attended the meeting, calling it

invalid, noting a BC Supreme Court lawsuit against him and his rebel group scheduled for March 11 had yet to be resolved. Board nominees elected for a two-year term are former White Rock councillor Cliff Annable (People’s Drug Mart), Sharon Greysen (RGR Legacy Holdings), Mauricio Kremer (Keso Cheese Specialty Shop), Gavin Johnston (Uli’s Restaurant), Karina Aniva (Spa Karina) and Sandi Williams (Liberty

Financial). They join Jazz Mattu (White Rock Wellness Centre and Store), Ginny Harrison (White Rock Travel), Martin Jevans (1539/1549 Johnston Rd.), Ruth Gable (Coffee With Attitude) and Bill Lawrence (Sandpiper Pub), who will be serving the final year of their two-year directorship. KN & V Chartered Accountants were reappointed to handle the BIA’s annual financial reporting.

opinion Peace Arch News Published at White Rock by Black Press Ltd.

editorial

Words must precede actions erception is everything in politics. And right now, White Rock council is walking a narrow line between public perception and pragmatism. A review of core services within the city – which council members insist is part of their due diligence as stewards of our resources – has precipitated doubt about the future of fire services and the possibility they could be amalgamated with Surrey. A request for proposal on the city’s solidwaste disposal suggests the city is entertaining the idea of contracting it out. Add a decision to send White Rock RCMP dispatch services to Surrey, and critics have plenty of fodder to proclaim the current council is systematically dismantling city operations. It is, some aver, an admission that White Rock can’t stand alone, possibly even a precursor to a final act of capitulation – throwing in the towel and amalgamating with Surrey. This is the position of former city manager Wayne Baldwin, whose public letter last week – inspired by the plight of the city’s soon-to-be ex-RCMP dispatch staff – raised hackles with council members. Bound by requirements of confidentiality when discussing personnel matters, they can’t talk specifics about their exploration of core services, beyond noting the decision on the dispatchers actually came in response to a request from RCMP managers. Baldwin’s comments carry a lot of weight because of his former position. If anyone should know city operation, it’s the 25-year veteran. But we should not be blind to the fact that the way he voiced his criticism was an overt political act, following on his own involvement with local politics, which included serving as campaign manager for former councillorturned-mayoral-hopeful Stewart Peddemors. Political opponents might even say council has to make some tough decisions now because of the way the city was run in the past. Even White Rock’s firefighters have become overtly political – canvassing opinion and endorsing candidates during elections. Meanwhile, the politicians have their own commitment to remain mum on many issues until the core-services review is finished. Council members say they know what they’re doing. It would be nice to believe them, in spite of the current heckling from the gallery. But when they do speak, they’ll have to do a grand job of convincing the electorate they are pursuing a responsible course, if current damaging perceptions are to be overturned.

at a time when both the B.C. and federal governments are running up unprecedented levels of debt to finance any “shovel-ready” economic stimulus project they could scrape together. The federal deficit is an obscene $56 billion this year, and yet this job-killing nonsense is still being tolerated. Professional environmentalists and the more obstructionist aboriginal groups love these delays, and work day and night to compound them. They don’t want B.C. to have any more mines, or pipelines, or power projects. They apparently want B.C.’s vast hinterland to depend entirely on taxpayer-funded welfare, supplemented with politically correct public works like hiking trails, all paid for with money borrowed against those of us still lucky enough to work in the private sector, our children and grandchildren. These opponents were cheering last week when the Supreme Court of Canada handed down a decision on the Red Chris metal mine in northwest B.C. The mine can proceed, but as the law is currently written, Ottawa can no longer choose to review only the pertinent parts of such a project. So that effort to bring efficiency to environmental assessment has been foiled, in this case by a self-appointed group called MiningWatch. Among this group’s funders are the Public Service Alliance of Canada, the Steelworkers “humanity fund” and the Canadian Auto Workers “social justice fund.” Perhaps they hope to make cars out of wood.

Canadian sensibilities Editor: The death of Sgt. John Wayne Faught – the 139th Canadian killed in Afghanistan – has compelled me to comment on the selfless and brave efforts of Canadian military personnel in the Afghan theatre. Our forces are engaged in warfare with an amorphous enemy that calls no country home. It’s what John Ralston Saul refers to as the “normalization of irregular warfare.” By it’s very nature difficult to define, and even tougher to frame. Nevertheless, Canadians seek clean, simple, made-in-Canada solutions and outcomes for difficult combat operations against a determined enemy. The latest home-grown accusation concerns the treatment of Taliban detainees – read POWs – that Canadian forces have delivered to the Afghan National Police, and the possible physical abuse that prisoners may have endured. With respect to handing insurgents over to Afghan authorities, what are Canadian forces supposed to do with them? Perhaps just let them go with a warning not to shoot at us again? We have no prisons in theatre; neither do the Brits or the Dutch. The only International Security Assistance Force country in theatre that has any capacity to process POWs is the U.S. We have no choice but to hand over prisoners to the American authorities – not always a logistical option – or local authorities, being the Afghan National Police. The federal government needs to rethink its handling of this entire issue. We should have no problem de-legitimizing the insurgency and portraying them as a manifestation of the Nazi Party, because that is who they are. Canadians should be urging our government to move on the diplomatic front as well. Clearly we need more allies in the Arab and Muslim world who are prepared to report on the evils of the extremists and the devastating effect the Taliban insurgency is having on the population of Afghanistan. We don’t do enough of that. During the push to Berlin when we captured Nazis, we shipped them to the Kananaskis region of Alberta. Perhaps we could do the same with captured insurgents. We could put them up at the Best Western. That should serve our Canadian sensibilities well. Guyle Coon, White Rock

Keep TransLink on the hook Editor: Re: You can’t get here from there easily, Jan. 13 letters. I had the same experience in the late evening regarding the 351 bus, and had contacted transit the day before the letters were published.

Six years ago, I experienced a similar problem with a connection at White Rock Centre on a Sunday evening at 9:05. The bus from Whalley was always late and as often as not, the 351 didn’t wait. One rider was a caregiver who worked at a group home in Ocean Park. Without the connection, she was late for work. Another regular was a girl from Crescent Beach, who worked at a restaurant on King George Highway. Missing this connection resulted in a one-hour wait. Transit offered many explanations, including: “The drivers have a schedule to meet.” My reply: “Who is in charge here, the schedule or the people? Why don’t you change the schedule or the route?” In the end, transit did the latter. How was this accomplished? The passengers made themselves

visible. Every time we missed the connection, we headed to the pay phones and asked what transit was going to do about it. One night, nine of us were left standing for an hour. Transit rerouted a community bus to facilitate our need. How does the late-night 351 issue get visible? At a White Rock community meeting, a transit rep suggested “maybe we could have a bus going Downtown at certain hours.” I would like to see transit deluged with hundreds of letters and emails to insist that their worker’s recommendation be made a reality for late-night travel. As for who is in charge, I was recently told by a 351 driver who was six minutes early at my stop: “The buses don’t pick up people; the people pick up buses.” Jean E. Male, White Rock

Celebrating the memories Editor: During December, White Rock Hospice Society volunteers greeted many people who stopped by our Celebrate-A-Life booth to share their stories and hang doves. Each year, the society invites the community to join us in honoring the memory of loved ones by placing doves on our dove tree. Each dove represents a history of memories, the riches of life and a sadness of dreams lost. Funds raised become one of the sources enabling us to provide the care and services for terminally ill patients and their families. Carole Whynott, Celebrate-A-Life

Emergency and non-emergency calls made in White Rock are to be routed through Surrey, effective March 1.

Talk about crossing civic lines Editor: Re: Baldwin slams city over RCMP changes, Jan. 22. I was amused – or would be if it was remotely funny – that former city manager Wayne Baldwin is concerned that White Rock council is “so focused on limiting heights in the town centre and mucking around with the zoning bylaws and the Official Community Plan...” That is why they were elected, in response to a period when council was concerned with allowing highrise development, without extracting development fees to support corresponding infrastructure. The increase in population – without jobs to support owning luxury condos and houses – means working people must exit the area to earn a living. Many jobs in White Rock are service and retail positions, which have difficulty in being sufficient to earn enough to populate the new housing. Residential development consumes tax resources, so there is little likelihood of tax savings based on increased population. Fiscal fallout from that period is likely far from over. Bob Holden, White Rock Q It was interesting to read Wayne Baldwin opposes the decision to send RCMP dispatching services to Surrey. Does he not know White Rock’s fire-dispatch service was consolidated with Surrey’s back in 1978? The Surrey Fire Dispatch Centre services seven other local jurisdictions answering 911 emergency calls to ensure rapid deployment of equipment and personnel. The last five-year contract with White Rock expired Dec. 31 and was extended for a further five years. If Baldwin did not want dispatch services to go through Surrey, maybe he should have cancelled the fire-department contract while he was manager. The reason this was not done is that the savings pay for other important civic projects. Don Pitcairn, Surrey

Essential services Re: City seeks trash-pickup bids, Jan. 15. I have noted council’s recent efforts to maintain or reduce costs to citizens of White Rock, which have included talk of subcontracting out fire and emergency services, police dispatch and now garbage collection. The latter was almost implemented by a previous council until protest by the citizens; its adoption by other municipalities – including Surrey – has resulted in major problems with service. The last area of consideration of cost reduction for any council should be one which would affect the effective provision of any area deemed an essential and emergency service. It appears that in the past, funding could be made readily available for many causes, including that benefitting only minority-interest groups – including, I believe, Peace Arch Curling Club And White Rock Lawn Bowling Club, to name but two. In addition, citizens pay to add to the profits of a few waterfront business operations during the off season, in this which can best be described as a “seasonal town,” by providing free parking to their customers. The current direction being considered by this council appears to be one of the removal of all of our essential and emergency services. Perhaps council should weigh that which would provide the most beneficial to the citizens of White Rock and would be in keeping with their intended demise for all of these essential and emergency services and to consider the ultimate sacrifice, by their providing projected costs savings which would be achieved by the dismantling of city hall, council and its administration, and thus effectively handing over responsibility in its entirety to Surrey.

news White Rock man sentenced in New York

Scam artist gets 7½ years A White Rock man who pleaded guilty to defrauding investors of $4 million US will spend the next 7½ years in a U.S. prison. According to details released by the U.S. Attorney’s office in New York, Brian David Anderson was sentenced Jan. 15 in Manhattan Federal Court. Arrested in Madrid in March 2007, Anderson, 64, was wanted for his involvement in a scheme called Frontier Assets, which

guaranteed investors high returns. “Contrary to his representations, however, Anderson never made any significant investments with the money he solicited, and instead used money provided by new investors to pay off prior ones,” the news release states. At least 50 investors lost money in the ponzi scheme, which was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Joint

Terrorism Task Force. Anderson pleaded guilty to wire fraud charges in August 2008. In sentencing, Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein said he “not only ripped off the victims’ pocketbooks, but ‘ripped out their hearts’ as well,” the release states. Anderson was also ordered to pay restitution to the victims. That amount is to be determined. - Tracy Holmes

perspectives …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Former racehorses find Greener Pastures Hannah Sutherland

Staff Reporter

orses casually look up from their enclosures as Charlotte Jantz-Lee walks through South Surrey’s Greener Pastures in her muddy riding boots. The 18-year-old approaches a dark brown horse and scratches his neck where white numbers and letters are tattooed. All of the horses on the farm have the brands – marks of qualified racers. Although the retired athletes are still in the early stages of their 25-year lifespan, they are no longer fast enough for the track, and, therefore, unwanted by their owners. So, they come to Greener Pastures and wait to be adopted.

The volunteer average price for a common quarter horse was $7,000. When told about Greener Pastures, they turned their attention to standardbreds. Jantz-Lee – now an Abbotsford resident, who attended Semiahmoo Secondary until Grade 11 last year – notes standardbreds are calmer and smaller than other breeds, but “can do anything a normal horse can.” They are best known for harness racing, often pulling sulkies. After reaching the peak of their racing career, it is not unheard of for standardbreds to be euthanized – sometimes when they are just a few years old, JantzLee says. Greener Pastures – located in Abbotsford until moving to South Surrey last summer – takes in unwanted standardbreds to its

There are currently 18 on the wait list. “When one gets adopted out, the next one comes in,” program co-ordinator Sue Allan says, noting expenses are covered by fundraising efforts and donations. Volunteers such as Jantz-Lee – who has worked at the farm eight hours a week for about six months – train the horses for recreational use. They are familiarized with saddles, and taught to Contributed photo walk, trot, stop and

While Jantz-Lee has a showjumping horse, Zazzie – who she will be taking to the BC Games this year – Rio Pizzazz is an ideal trail horse. She is protective of her owners, intelligent and calm. “She thinks she’s a person.” To exhibit Rio Pizzazz’s tranquil nature and raise awareness about standardbreds and Greener Pastures, Jantz-Lee rode her on busy, main roads in Abbotsford to five preschools, a middle school and two high schools last week.

Jantz-Lee plans to further drive the cause home with another tour on the Peninsula this spring. “I really don’t think it’s right that (standardbreds) should be put down at three just because they’re not fast enough,” she says. Jantz-Lee, whose dream is to ride in the Olympics, said she also wants to promote horseback riding, which encourages physical exercise and makes good use of parkland. “It keeps people outside, away from video games.

nearby. Everyone else will have the same idea. Nor can you count on not being ticketed if you use a mall parking lot that hasn’t been

cleared for use by TransLink. Instead, scout further afield for a place to park and ride a bus on a frequent transit corridor. Some shuttle services will be on offer – you can park at Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino, for example, and catch a bus to Surrey’s Celebration Site at Holland Park. It may also be possible to park somewhere such as the Scott Road station and ride SkyTrain east to King

Ken Hardie, with Olympic transit passes.

Got tickets?

Those who party too late and miss the last SkyTrain run out of downtown (1:15 a.m. for Canada Line, 2:05 a.m. for the Millennium Line and 2:28 a.m. for Expo Line) will still be able to board night buses that will run all night. Seven night bus routes will run every 30 minutes until regular morning service restarts. For a complete list of transportation survival tips, read the story online at www. peacearchnews.com

Anyone who has tickets to an Olympic event automatically has free transit for the day on TransLink’s system. That’s good for venues like hockey, speed skating and curling, but trips to the mountain venues at Cypress and Whistler on Vanoc’s Olympic Bus Network require purchase of a separate transit pass and a seat reservation. Those buses depart from SFU in Burnaby, BCIT, Langara College, Lonsdale Quay and Capilano University.

Stay too late?

SkyTrain will be busy during the Olympics, and it’s best to buy transit passes in advance.

The main trick will be getting to a rapid transit station. Existing park and rides with 7,200 stalls will be open and several more temporary lots at closed colleges and businesses will open up for the Games. The vast City of New Westminster waterfront parkade has been cleared for use as a park-and-ride during the Olympics, offering 500 stalls. Another 400 to 650 will also be available up the hill at Douglas College. It may make more sense for some Surrey

Getting to sites

Where to park

If you can walk from home to a bus route and catch a ride from there, says TransLink’s Ken Hardie, so much the better.

G KING

Games gridlock is the big fear for many locals as the 2010 Olympics loom. You don’t need to flee the city or spend two weeks hiding at home. But getting around during the Olympics is best done with planning, thought and plenty of patience. So herewith is our guide to getting around to help you enjoy the Games instead of spending too much of it stuck in traffic. First, the good news. If you live in one of Metro Vancouver’s suburbs and don’t have to commute into Vancouver for work, traffic won’t be too bad. Motorists should be able to drive within their own communities without hitting much more than normal congestion. If you’re a transit user, expect buses to be busier than normal as Games-goers ride to local live sites or to SkyTrain to avoid driving downtown. If the system is overwhelmed, you may see your already-full bus roll by without stopping. TransLink aims to ensure those passups don’t happen. An extra 160 roving buses are ready to roll into action wherever they’re needed most. “If we see that a certain route is becoming busy we can dispatch that bus and add capacity to that route,” said Matt Craig, TransLink’s senior transportation planner. One factor that may help ease demand is that many universities and other schools will be on breaks. Buses should run at least every 15 minutes on frequent transit corridors such as the Fraser Highway out to Langley, Highway 99 or King George Highway to South Surrey and Lougheed Highway to Coquitlam and Maple Ridge. Demand on those routes that connect to SkyTrain will be closely monitored. You can pre-plan your route by entering dates and times of travel on the trip planner at www.travelsmart2010. ca.

and south of Fraser passengers to park at one of those New Westminster lots and board SkyTrain there, rather than at Scott Road and King George stations that could fill up fast. Even with 3,200 extra parking stalls, it may be hard to find a spot.

Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

For 35 years, Joanne Saundersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; long locks never had more than a trim. That was until a few weeks ago, when the Peninsula residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eight-year-old niece, Justyna Lamb, convinced her to lop it off in support of BC Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wigs for Kids program, which makes wigs for children with cancer. Lamb is no stranger to the program, having first cut and donated her hair when she was six. Once the youngsterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hair was long enough to make another donation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it has be at least eight inches â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she began appealing to her aunt to take part, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For about the past six months she has been asking me,â&#x20AC;? Saunders said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My niece, she thought it was such a great thing; I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say no to her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She finally convinced me, and then, at the last minute, we got my sister onboard, too.â&#x20AC;?

Justyna Lamb, Joanne Saunders and Kelly Weeks are donating their long ponytails, cut last month, to Wigs for Kids. raising $2,600, which Saunders said was the largest amount donated to the program with hair. She said it takes about $2,000 in labour costs to make just one wig. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though people donate their hair, it still costs a lot of money to make the wigs,â&#x20AC;? she said, noting a lot of people arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware their hair can benefit children with cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely a good cause.

Members of Peninsula-based Kidz Gone Green are challenging their peers to make a difference for the environment. At a recent ceremony marking the planting of five maple trees at Surrey’s Games Preparation Centre (the new Chuck Bailey Recreation Centre), the youngsters promised to reduce their own impact, through things like carpooling, using environmentally friendly products and recycling. They hope others will do their part. “Today, we are showing kids everywhere that they don’t have to wait until they’re grown-ups to make a difference. They can start right now,” group spokesperson Natasha Aisenstat said in a speech following the planting. “Protecting the environment takes a lot of work. We all need to do our part.” Kidz Gone Green has been involved in a number of green activities in Surrey. They steward and helped rename a greenbelt north of Southridge School, have planted close to 500 trees and shrubs and are environmental leaders at Southridge. They raised $2,500 for the maple trees planted Jan. 12. The shade trees represent the Olympic rings, and were chosen for their Canadian and Olympic symbolism.

Wedding Showcase 2 010

A unique symbol of your love

hile the excitement of your wedding day will come and go, the engagement ring and wedding bands symbolizing you and your partner’s new lives together are meant to last forever. No matter how much time you spend shopping around for that perfect ring, nothing beats the unique and personal touch that comes with a custom-designed ring. At Jose & Co. Custom Jewellers, there are four goldsmiths on sight to help you create the perfect engagement ring or set of wedding bands, according to owner Jose. The process of creating the perfect ring is an indepth one, Jose said, that starts with a discussion of what the client is looking for, followed by a look at the hand on which the ring will be worn. “Sometimes a client may be picking something that will not suit their hand style,” Jose said. “Keeping in mind what they like, I will try to modify it to suit their hand style a little better.” Other aspects that are taken into consideration for custom rings are the person’s lifestyle, what they do for a living, as well as personal style, likes and dislikes. Depending on the complexity of the ring, Jose said the entire process can take anywhere from six to eight weeks, and includes a sketch, a 3D wax model, a ﬁtting stage before the stones are placed, followed by stone setting and polishing. Amanda Murdoch, owner of Murdoch Jewellers, said the hand-crafted pieces created at her store are of the highest degree of quality and completely unique. “We make a ring and we don’t ever make it again,” she said. “That’s what hand-crafting is all about.” Murdoch said that clients will sometimes bring in a picture of a ring that is similar to the one they’re looking for, or they can look through a catalogue for designs they like. Using a wax model, clients can see what the ring will look like and make any necessary adjustments. see page 22

Custom designs require planning from page 21 The gold is then melted, rolled and shaped, settings are made and the stones are placed. From there, the piece is sanded and polished, while further adjustments and tweaks are made. “You’re constantly modifying the piece to get the desired result,” she said. If you’re in the market for a custom-designed ring, Murdoch said that although handcrafted pieces are more expensive, they are worth it over time. “If it is in your budget, go for hand-crafted pieces, because you’ll deﬁnitely be happy in the long run,” she said. Budget is one of the most important considerations when it comes to a custom ring, according to designer Gay Cohen of Kimberley Jewellers. “You’ve got to be very well aware of what you want to spend,” Cohen said. “You can still make a custom ring, it just gets tailored to a budget, and the size of the diamond will have to be taken into consideration.” At Kimberley Jewellers, Cohen’s husband, Bernard – a Gemological Institute

In addition to the everpopular single solitaire style, another style trend when it comes to engagement rings is a bigger centre diamond, with tiny micro pave stones surrounding it. “The micro pave look is very pretty, and deﬁnitely

a trend at the moment,” Cohen said. “But a simple solitaire will never date, and will never go out of fashion.” Regardless of whether you’re looking for a oneof-a-kind engagement ring, or wedding bands with their own unique and distinct style, Jose said the most important part of the process is getting to know and trust the jeweller you will be working with. “Go talk to them and see what your gut feeling says,” Jose said. “You don’t have to be an expert in the ﬁeld to know if your jeweller is giving you a line or not. If you don’t feel comfortable, go onto the next person.”

2010

Classy wedding venues for all budgets and styles

or some couples, setting a date to be married can be one of the biggest steps on the way to matrimonial bliss. However, once the date has finally been set, finding the perfect venue can prove to be a huge challenge as well. Many things need to be taken into consideration, including budget, size, facilities and distance guests will have to travel. There’s no need to go all the way downtown for your dream wedding – there are plenty of beautiful and affordable venues on the Peninsula for all sizes and styles. Morgan Creek Golf Course can accommodate weddings large or small, in a beautiful nature setting with a breathtaking view of the North Shore mountains. If the weather co-operates, the garden setting – complete with waterfalls and fountains – is the a picture-perfect location for your ceremony and photographs. However, the banquet rooms inside the clubhouse make for a gorgeous interior location, should Mother Nature have other plans in store.

Morgan Creek can accommodate a reception of up to 150, and has outdoor grounds for the ceremony and photos. There are two rooms to reception, including choose from for reception, guests from 40 to 200 including a smaller room people. for up to 30 people and a Whether outdoors in larger one for up to 150, the natural beauty of the both tastefully decorated garden, or in the Chateau with a stone gas fireplace. room, complete with Morgan Creek Banquets a bridal chamber and offers a number of lunch antique furniture, your and dinner packages, ceremony will be filled including plate and buffet with elegance at this service, as well as food venue. and beverage packages Depending on the time starting around $100 per of year and the day of the guest.

With 2 1/2 acres of space, heritage and modern buildings, Camp Alexandra has overnight accommodations for up to 125 people. The ceremony can be held on site if the bride and groom prefer, or with Crescent Beach just steps

away, can be held by the sea. There is plenty of room for a beautiful, outdoor reception plus Alexandra Hall can accommodate indoor celebrations as well.

Traditional elegance meets new styles for dresses in 2010

MAGIC

ROCA BLANCA DANCE STUDIO

t’s an occasion many women dream about from the time they are little girls, imagining themselves walking down the aisle as a beautiful princess about to marry her prince. For any bride, regardless of the size of wedding she’s planning, finding the perfect dress can be the most important part of the process, both nerve-racking and rewarding. The good news is, the new decade is bringing with it a range of different styles to suit every bride, from sexy Spanishstyled mermaid dresses to princessinspired ball gown dresses. At Ber-Nardi’s Custom Design Bridal, staff say the mermaid style dress with a Spanish crossed bottom is expected to be huge in 2010, with a two or three-foot long train adjacent to the back. An ever-popular look, strapless dresses will continue to be a much sought-after look for all dress styles, but expect to also see an emergence of little flipcollared jackets, in either lace or the same fabric as the dress itself. For shapelier brides, a-line dresses are as popular as ever, according to BerNardi’s, with a touch of embellishment on the shoulders, or some lace on the bustier. While white dresses continue to be a top pick by many, Ber-Nardi’s says to expect off-white, off-gold and off-nude dresses to be worn by a number of brides this year. As well they expect to see a bit of a diversion from the traditional, with separated pieces, including a bustier, skirt and perhaps even a little jacket, to be a more popular look for wedding attire.

Strapless wedding dresses will continue to be a popular style for the 2010 season. Maternity bridal is something that is becoming more and more popular each year, with a lot of elegant styles to choose from, whether the bride wants to enhance her figure or make it a little more discreet. With the increasing trend to plan a destination wedding comes the dilemma of what type of dress to wear, especially if your dream wedding is taking you to a tropical paradise. Ber-Nardi’s has a number of lighter-weight dresses, made see page 25

WEDDING SHOWCASE

2010

Bold bouquet colours this year from page 24 from materials that are both figure conscious and won’t wrinkle if they need to be transported in a suitcase, so the only thing you’ll need to worry about is working on your tan. When it comes to the bride’s hair, what’s old is new again, as the most modern styles are inspired by trends from decades ago. One popular style is seeing the traditional veil replaced with the pillbox hat – made famous by the ever-stylish Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in the 1960s. Another big look, according to BerNardi’s, is known as the “birdcage without the bird” – a piece of netting with flowers that mimic the bride’s bouquet. While the majority of the attention will be directed at the bride on her wedding day, there are also a number of 2010 trends for bridesmaids, flower girls and the mother of the bride as well. Black, dark brown and magenta top the most popular colours for bridesmaid’s dresses this year, with an emphasis on fluffy summer looking styles with an organza or chiffon over sheer. For the mother of the bride, the emphasis is on youthfulness, and the trend is usually a skirt, top and over jacket, which is both stylish, modern and figure-conscious. Traditionally, dresses worn by the flower girl will match what the bride is wearing, depending on the relationship between the flower girl and the bride. However for a less traditional flower girl look, dresses come in all colours and styles and can either match or mismatch other dresses in the wedding

Brightly coloured bouquets, especially in orange and pink, are in high demand. party. Almost as exciting as picking out dresses for the bride and bridal party is selecting the perfect flowers to complement the bride’s beauty. According to Jean Kuer of Artistry in Flowers, orange is a very popular colour for flowers this year, and when it comes to a bride’s bouquet, it’s all about the decorative trim. Depending on the bride’s taste and budget, popular flowers can be anything from roses to lilies, but the trend is often to match the colours of the flowers with colours used in the wedding. “Whatever colours they’ve incorporated with the wedding, they usually follow through to match with the reception,” Kuer said.

tradition for brides and grooms in the Fraser Valley for decades, the Welcome Wagon Wedding Showcase is back with two dates, not to be missed if you’re planning a wedding this year. Monday, Feb. 15 at the Langley Events Centre and Monday, March 1 at Eaglequest at Coyote Creek, local businesses will be on display and happy to talk with soon-to-be brides and grooms about their big day. Welcome Wagon’s Dawn Corcoran, who has been organizing the wedding showcase for the past 24 years, said the event is always a popular one, partly because of the intimate atmosphere you won’t find at some of the bigger bridal shows. “Unlike some of the really big shows, you have the opportunity to stop and talk to the businesses,” Corcoran said. “Instead of scouring all over the Lower Mainland, we have all these businesses under one roof.” Discovering great businesses right in your community is another bonus of attending the Wedding Showcase, according to Corcoran, who said it not only helps support local businesses, but makes it easier to organize for Fraser Valley residents. “If you’re getting married out this way, why would you bring all your flowers and cakes and things from Vancouver?” The showcase is free to attend for brides and a guest, and includes lots of goodies, complementary refreshments and door prizes.

Olympic surgery delays begin Jeff Nagel Black Press

For Alana Downey and hundreds of other Lower Mainland residents, the Olympics will be a painful waiting game. The 36-year-old single mom from Chilliwack is among the patients whose scheduled surgeries have been delayed by the Games. “It’s a nightmare,” she said. “I’m past frustration. I’m drained.” The breast cancer patient had a mastectomy last summer and was to have had breast reconstructive surgery at Surrey Memorial Hospital in October. It was first delayed two months by Fraser Health’s reductions in elective surgery to reduce its $160-million budget deficit. Downey was finally told this month that her surgery is pushed back to April because of the surgery slowdown during the Games. Fraser Health is postponing 2,000 non-urgent surgeries that would normally be performed during the Olympics and Vancouver Coastal Health is delaying 450. “There are countless women on this list,” said Downey, who has started a Facebook support group. “We’re all together. We’re all waiting.” Downey says the delays are prolonging her pain, and that while the Games are great for bringing people together, they’re placing a heavy burden on some. “I still have my life to live and I’m trying

Health critic Adrian Dix, with Alana Downey. to do my best, but eventually I’m going to burn out,” she said. Downey was told operating room capacity is being reserved to treat athletes or foreign visitors. Health minister Kevin Falcon could not be reached for comment. Vancouver Coastal spokesperson Anna Marie D’Angelo said “surge capacity” is needed to handle the influx of Games visitors and any possible major emergencies. But mainly, she said, the surgeries are rescheduled because

many people don’t want to have them while the Games are on. Out-of-towners would struggle to find and pay for costly accommodation during the Olympics. And she said local residents don’t want to make trips to hospital during a time of heavy traffic congestion. NDP health critic Adrian Dix accused the provincial government of trying to blame the Olympics for surgery cuts that are really geared to saving money. “It hurts the Olympics when people know

other people are waiting in pain,” he said. “They’re cutting medically necessary surgeries,” he said, adding patients forced to wait may worsen, driving up eventual health care costs. “All of these surgeries will happen, they’ll just happen later,” he said. “No dollars are saved.” Dix said the delays will mean lengthened wait times – especially if the province doesn’t increase the budget for surgery for 2010-11. The budget crisis is more acute because the BC Liberals hid planned cuts until after the 2009 provincial election, Dix says. He said there’s even less argument for closures in parts of the Fraser Valley that are far from venues. But Fraser Health spokesperson Joan Marshall said some people have tickets to events or plan to attend local celebration sites. “Hotel rooms are booked well into the Fraser Valley and no one is exactly sure where gridlock will develop,” she added.

news Streetcar online Hundreds lined up Jan. 21 to be among the first to ride the new 2010 Olympic streetcar that now zips along a rail line between Granville Island and the Canada Line. The free electric tram service runs 18 hours a day until March 21 on a 1.8-kilometre route that connects to the Athlete’s Village station at 2nd and Cambie. Passengers praised the smooth six-minute ride. But it may not be a permanent Vancouver feature. The two Bombardierbuilt Flexity streetcars are on loan from Brussels and are slated to be returned after the Games are over. Supporters say it should be continued and extended through downtown.

Rail envy The sleek new trams from Europe have Fraser Valley passenger rail supporters drooling. And no wonder. It’s just the sort of service they had hoped would by now be rolling along at least part of the old Interurban electric rail corridor through Surrey to Chilliwack. They’d even proposed a cheap-to-start demonstration run between Surrey’s Scott Road SkyTrain station and Cloverdale. “This or something similar to it is an excellent solution for south of Fraser areas, specifically as a way of connecting the growing Surrey Metro centre to other regions of Surrey and Langley,” Surrey transportation advocate Peter Holt said after touring the Olympic line. He noted the estimated $9 million cost of setting up the streetcar on existing tracks proves similar technology can be used in the eastern suburbs at a fraction of the $100 million per kilometre cost of using SkyTrain. Holt blames former transportation minister Kevin Falcon for blocking an expedited push to launch a modern service on the old Interurban tracks. He envisions wider street cars than the ones built for use in narrow streets in Europe. “It makes abundant sense,” added Langley Township Mayor Rick Green, who has assembled a task force of area mayors to press

The majority of the plates – 119,000 – have been sold in the Lower Mainland. Buyers paid a $35 initial fee and a $25 annual renewal fee that goes to Vanoc, which is expected to receive at least $15 million. Critics have said ICBC should have focused on lowering premiums rather than helping subsidize the Olympics.

Olympic plates More than 175,000 B.C. motorists have now bought Olympic commemorative licence plates. ICBC had originally aimed to sell 100,000 to 150,000 “Best Place on Earth” plates before the Games start as part of its sponsorship arrangement with Vanoc.

Benefits of telecommuting Fraser Health says its experience with telecommuting shows there are plenty of benefits to letting more employees work from

home. For just over a year the health authority has been letting its medical transcriptionists work from home. Employees and managers call the voluntary program a success, reducing traffic and parking lot congestion, worker stress levels and even demand for office space.

Health authority teleworkers report they are “much happier” and are 20 to 30 per cent more productive on average. The $2,000 initial investment has yielded savings of 40,000 kilometres travelled on Lower Mainland roads, $20,000 in gas and $5,000 in parking fees. – Jeff Nagel

The Community Arts Council of White Rock and District will present new paintings by White Rock artist Jude Remedios, Feb. 4-27 at the council’s gallery at Windsor Square (90 1959 152 St.). Born in Alberta, Remedios lived much of her life in California, prior to relocating to White Rock with her family in 2004. The self-schooled artist’s new work is based on extensive experience rendering still life, landscapes, portraits and figures in a wide range of styles from realistic to abstract, and painstaking analysis of the styles of a diverse group of masters from Rembrandt to Rothko. The artist will be in attendance at the opening of the show, 7 p.m., Feb. 4. For information, call 604536-8333.

said Lal, who plays the role of Sunna, a young woman who has inherited the role of undertaker in the small town of Unity, Sask., and is seen almost as a death figure by fearful residents. “She’s 16 years old and she has been placed in a situation where she has to grow up very quickly,” Lal said. The role of Beatrice, eldest of the Wilde sisters, is played by Laura Cranfield. “Beatrice is a dreamer,” she said.

“She’s 21 and looking forward to her first kiss, and she’s essentially raising her sister, in the absence of their father.” Sissy Wilde, played by Alexa Mordhuis, is a 15-year-old who, minus real responsibilities, is obsessed with the fatalism of the era. “She loves the idea of the world ending soon – she’s a doomsday prophet,” she said. “Hart is a good guy,” said Gerow of his character, the first soldier to return to

Unity at the end of the war. “He’s probably in his early 20s, since he was about 17 when he joined up in the first year of the war. He wants to help – which is why he builds coffins for Sunna.” The young actors said they have been further challenged by an intimate theatre-in-theround staging of Unity, 1918. “We’ve had to learn about acting with our backs,” said Cranfield. Also challenging is Kerr’s insistence on

by not imposing an overt design. “When we did the first read-through of the script, I was surprised at who died and who survived,” said Laird. “I felt a sense of randomness in the play, probably a deliberate sense.” “With such a small cast, the audience will have a connection with all these characters and capture the feeling of what it was like during the epidemic,” said Lal.

overlapping dialogue, but Mordhuis said she enjoys the realism of it. “If you’re fighting with someone, you’re not going to wait your turn to speak,” she said. The symbolism of the setting, and the evocative sense of its name is not lost on the players, said Grade 11 student Rowan Laird, assistant director. “Unity is the centre of Canada, if you look on the map,” she said.

t may have been an era that saw the true birth of Canada as a nation on the world stage, but it was a birth attended by almost inconceivable stress and anguish. Although the suffering of the Great War should have ended with the Armistice in November 1918, it was superceded by the continued spread of the Spanish influenza virus that – ironically – ended up taking more lives around the globe than even the horrors of mechanized war. The home front was not immune, either – as depicted in Canadian playwright Kevin Kerr’s tragi-comedy Unity, 1918. The play, presented this week by students of Southridge’s senior school (Jan. 27, 28, 29; 7 p.m., 2656 160 St.), is a challenging work selected by the school’s drama teacher Jodylee Parasiers (formerly Rae) as something of a valedictory. Parasiers, who will be leaving after this school year to pursue new opportunities in Edmonton, has given Southridge’s eager thespians intense material to work with before in the form of two plays from her native Australia – the mental institutionbound Cosi and the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorderthemed My Sister Violet. She notes that Unity, 1918, fulfills her predilection for edgy comedy – it’s a script that finds its share of absurdity and guilty laughs in the face of tragedy and death. “It is a dark comedy and a Gothic romance – a very witty script,” she said. “Number one was to put on a Canadian play as my last production at the school.” And she’s only partly kidding when she acknowledges her choice was influenced by two of her keenest students, Grade 12s Garret Gerow and Sejal Lal, who played leading roles in My Sister Violet. Gerow, a First World War buff, wanted to be in a play in which he could wear military uniform, while Lal craved a vehicle that would allow her to wear historic costume.

While it should be noted that the play meets both requirements admirably (and as poison gas-blinded Canadian soldier Hart, Gerow gets to wear his great-grandfather’s uniform buttons and flashes) the 28 students involved in the play have clearly delved far below the surface in conscientiously recreating the time period. “We’re not just re-enacting history, we’re reliving it,”

Friends, fun and festivities

hat started as a way for a lonely Peninsula senior to keep herself busy has grown into a group of more than 80 friends. Mixed Singles Over 60, based out of Surrey, celebrated 10 years of get togethers and activities last year, and there’s no sign of slowing down, according to member Pat Clutchey. The group meets once per month at Sunnyside Hall, and each month there is a different activity planned. At the most recent meeting, the group held a games night with a variety of card games. In February, the group will hold a pub night, with snacks and tables to play cards. Other activities include square dancing, potluck dinners and barbecue and bocce nights. “For me, it’s been a Godsend,” said Clutchey. “I became a widow and somebody suggested this might be a good avenue to go, and I did and have met some wonderful people.” Clutchey said the group also takes part in a number of outings, from walking trips to bowling and golf, some members of the group are even heading out on a cruise to Egypt this year. Members are required to pay an annual $25 fee, which entitles them to attend all the club activities. see page 36

Learning to use a computer can help you stay connected

or many seniors, the thought of using a computer on a daily basis is not very appealing. With technology constantly evolving, learning basic computer tasks can be tricky, never mind keeping up with the latest advancements. However, basic computer functions, such as Internet and email, are great ways to stay in touch with family and friends, as one local man has discovered. When 95-year-old George Cohen’s niece showed up at his White Rock residence with “Now that I a computer three years ago, see what I can he wasn’t too about do with it... I excited his new gift. couldn’t live “My niece just forced a without it.” computer on me,” Cohen George Cohen recalls. “She phoned up one day and said they were down at the door with a computer, and if I didn’t like it, I could get rid of it.” Cohen decided to give it a shot, and with the help of his niece and his caregiver, who visits once a week, he has mastered several basic computer functions. “I email pictures and download pictures from the camera, I read the news from all over the world,” he said. “I often go on Youtube, and I scroll back

George Cohen, 95, checks out a Youtube video on his computer, which he uses every day. to all the old artists that I used to know and dance to, and I watch their videos.” Having access to email has also given Cohen the opportunity to stay in touch with his daughter in Toronto and grandkids in New York, who he

exchanges photos and interesting links with through email on a regular basis. “I’m on it pretty well every day,” he said. Cohen said he understands why other seniors may be intimidated to learn

how to use a computer, but encouraged people to at least give it a shot, as they might eventual wonder how they ever lived without one. “I talk to a lot of people who say they wouldn’t have one,” he said. “I myself wouldn’t have had one, but now that I see what I can do with it... I couldn’t live without it.” For seniors who are curious about learning how to use a computer, there is help available for all experience levels. The White Rock/Surrey Come Share Seniors Support Program holds free computer classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the support centre, 15008 26 Ave. The program is run by a dedicated group of volunteers who can help participants learn a variety of computer skills, depending on their need. Upon signing up for the course, participants indicate some of the things they would like to learn – such as email, Internet or word processing – and the instructors will then help them learn at their own pace. Anyone who is interested in finding out more is asked to visit the Senior Support Services office, or call 604-531-9400, ext. 300. As for Cohen, though he’s happy with the skills he has learned so far, he said with the help of his caregiver, he’s not done learning. “I’m going to go on Facebook. I didn’t want to go on it before, but I think I should do it.”

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Women ‘the big draw’

Bayside sweeps all three games in rugby rivalry

Sharks reclaim Onion Cup title Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

This summer’s revamped Canada Cup International fastpitch tournament – which will not have a women’s division – will instead focus on younger players in the Futures (under-18) and Showcase (under-16) divisions. With no international women’s teams taking part, the lower-key 2010 tournament will also be staged under a new, yet-tobe-determined name, before hopefully returning to its original format for 2011. The event will be run by the White Rock Renegades girls fastpitch association. The women’s division was axed Monday due to a scheduling conflict with the International Softball Federation’s Women’s World Championships. The championship, to be held in Venezuela, runs June 23-July 2, and the Canada Cup was slated to begin July 3. The 2010 Canada Cup was to be the 17th held at Softball City. “With the change of the (World Championships) date, our first job was to react and try to salvage the women’s division. We struggled with it, and decided it just won’t work this year,” said Renegades president and Canada Cup co-chairman Greg Timm. Tournament organizers met Monday night to discuss the 2010 event, and options going forward. “We’ll know more in a week or so when things become clear – right now, I’m sort of hiding under the desk – but we’ll go ahead with this year, then see page 40

Bayside Sharks’ Wally Raad is lifted into the air by teammate Gary Dharnia during the Sharks’ second division game against the Surrey Beavers.

After a brief hiatus, the Onion Cup is back on the Peninsula. The Bayside Sharks reclaimed the trophy – and the bragging rights – after its premier squad defeated the Surrey Beavers, 59-5 Saturday afternoon at South Surrey Athletic Park. The premier win completed a three-game sweep of the Beavers, as Bayside’s second divison club also won, 52-12, and its third division side edged Surrey 14-5. The Onion Cup battle had been dormant for more than a decade – due in large part to the two clubs playing in different leagues. The Sharks compete at the premier level, while the Beavers no longer do. But while the Sharks won the last official Onion Cup battle, the Beavers were in possession of the trophy heading into Saturday’s games after winning a third-division tilt two summers ago, in which the ❝We’ve got the cup was put up for grabs. trophy back “We’ve got the trophy back on our wall, so that’s good,” on our wall, so said Sharks assistant coach that’s good.❞ Chris Veslemes. Chris Veslemes “It was definitely nice to get Bayside Sharks the rivalry back going again. It was a lot of fun.” Though the premier game’s score was somewhat lopsided – not unexpected, considering the Beavers’ top side does not play at the premier level – the game was far from a cakewalk, Veslemes said. “Surrey competed really hard, they made us work for it. But in the end, we’re the premier league team, so I guess we were (expected) to win it,” he said. “But it definitely wasn’t easy.” Considering the game was the first since the fall for both teams, the action started a little slow – “It was good to shake some of the rust off,” Veslemes said – but picked up at the five-minute mark when Sharks’ prop Taylor Stogryn opened the scoring. Eric Sugawara tacked on the conversion. At the 14-minute mark, Bayside doubled the lead to 14-0 on a Levi Hansen try – and another Sugawara convert – and other tries soon followed, from Matt Miles, Isimeli Sigarua – who had two – Corey Wood, Zach Thorpe and Murray Brookes. Miles was named Bayside’s man-of-the-match. In the second division tilt, Sharks’ tries were scored by Brookes and Arthur Simpsons – who each had a pair – Spencer Thorpe, Soko Kacj and Adam Roberts. Trevor Giesbrecht was man-ofthe-match for the Sharks. In the third-division matchup, Dan Dixon and Charles Riby-Williams were the home team’s try-scorers, with Dixon adding conversions on both. Tom Corley-Smith was named man-of-thematch.

We can’t lose our shirts here.” Tournament founder Glenn Todd was also hopeful the women’s division would be reinstated for 2011. “I hope so, but I guess we’ll have to see,” he said. The women’s division – which features national squads from across the globe, as well as the best club teams in the United States – has always been the tournament’s biggest draw, especially the Canadian team, which has had numerous players from the Peninsula on its roster through the years.

Surrey Eagles’ call-up Destry Straight gets knocked to the ice by Merritt’s Steve Tresierra during a game at South Surrey Arena Jan. 17. The Eagles lost that tilt, and two more this week.

Surrey loses pair to Okanagan foes

Eagles’ offence struggles Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Surrey Eagles’ late-season struggles continued last week, as the BC Hockey League club dropped a pair of games to Interior Division competition. On Thursday in Westside, the Birds were bounced 4-1 by the Warriors, and returned home Saturday, where they were edged 2-1 by the visiting Salmon Arm Silverbacks. Despite the team’s struggles since Christmas – they’ve won just two of the last 12 games – the Eagles still sit five games above .500, with a 25-20-0-5 mark, good for fifth-place in the Coastal Conference. The Eagles’ offence struggled Saturday – evidenced by just the single goal – which was due in part to having four key forwards out of the lineup due to injury,

including leading scorer Mike Krgovich. As a result, Eagles coach Shane Kuss iced a lineup that included seven defencemen and Junior B callup Jake Roder. Salmon Arm opened the scoring in the first period on a power-play goal from Corey Chakeen, and Silverbacks’ Greg Noyes made it 2-0 early in the third period with another manadvantage marker. The BCHL’s second-leading scorer, Mark Zengerie – who has 99 points in just 48 games – assisted on both goals. The Eagles finally got on the board with a power-play goal of their own, when Grant Toulmin scored with less than two minutes left in the game. Despite being tagged with the loss, Surrey netminder Vinny Lessard was named the game’s first star after stopping 27 shots.

Offence was hard to come by last Thursday in Westside, too, as the Eagles were held scoreless through 53 minutes, after Richard Vanderhoek potted an unassisted marker. The Warriors scored the game’s first three goals, two of which came from Kyle Singleton. The Eagles were outshot 38-32 in the contest, and were 0-for-7 on the power play. They played the third period without captain Derek Henderson, who was ejected late in the second period after a fight in which he was given five minutes for fighting, two minutes for instigating, a misconduct and a game misconduct. The Eagles now get set for three straight games against the Burnaby Express. Surrey’s last win came against the Express, beating them 8-2 on Jan. 15.

Hawks topple third-place Giants The Valley West Hawks picked up three of a possible four points last weekend, with a win and a tie against the Vancouver Northwest Giants – one of the BC Major Midget League’s top squads, and winners of the prestigious Mac’s AAA Midget Tournament earlier this year in Calgary. On Saturday night, the teams played to a 4-4 draw – a game in which the Hawks came back from down 3-2 after 40 minutes – and on Sunday morning, Valley West edged the Giants 5-3 in another back-and-forth tilt. Both

contests were played at Burnaby Winter Club. Semiahmoo Minor Hockey’s Mason Blacklock scored the tying goal late in Saturday’s game – his first of three tallies on the weekend. Semi’s Scott Cooke and Langley’s Austin Plevy scored in the first period, and Surrey native Mak Barden also found the back of the net. In the rematch, the Giants opened the scoring in the first period, but goals from Blacklock and Barden gave the Valley squad a lead after one period.

The Giants came out of the intermission flying, and scored two goals in the first five minutes of the middle frame, before the Hawks restored its lead on goals from Semiahmoo’s Michael Stenerson and Tyler Basham, from Langley. Hawks’ goalie Kirk Thompson stopped 50 shots. The three-point weekend bumped the Hawks into a tie for the sixth and final playoff spot in the BC MML. The Hawks are tied with the North Island Silvertips. - Nick Greenizan

Colin Smith, F.C.I.I., F.C.I.S. June 15, 1919 – January 17, 2010 Colin moved on to another stage in the journey of life at Peace Arch Hospital, White Rock, after a brief but feisty battle against pneumonia. Born in London, England, he is survived by his beloved wife Alison, children Toni, Michael, and Christopher and their spouses, 5 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. He leaves behind many relatives in England and Scotland and dear friends here and worldwide. He was predeceased by his brothers Gordon, Frank, and Ken, and granddaughter Manda. Colin joined the Prudential of England in 1936. In 1953 he was transferred to Canada and retired as BC and Yukon Branch Manager in 1979. After retirement, Colin had a successful career as a Realtor in White Rock. He joined the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve in 1938 and served on convoy and mine-sweeping duties until being demobbed in April 1946. He saw duty in the Norwegian campaign, at Dunkirk, and on Convoy Escorts. He was appointed Captain of HMS Nighthawk in 1944. Colin was proud of his service, particularly to have been minesweeping in the Channel on D-Day, and was twice Mentioned in Dispatches. He continued in the Royal Naval Reserve, then the Canadian Reserve until 1962, by which time he had been made Lieutenant Commander. Colin served as President of the Naval Officers Association of BC, The Insurance Institute of BC, The Rotary Club of White Rock, and President and Founder of the Probus Club of White Rock/South Surrey. He was a Life Member of HMCS York Wardroom, HMCS Discovery Wardroom, and Terminal City Club of Vancouver. With his friendly, outgoing personality Colin enjoyed meeting people and was a caring and attentive host whether it was at afternoon tea, a more formal dinner, or when a friend just dropped in. His cheerful smile brightened the lives of everyone with whom he came in contact. He enjoyed using his talents in whatever Church he was a member and will be especially remembered at Mount Olive Lutheran as an outstanding reader of the Scriptures. Thanks be to God for the life of a good man and a true gentleman who will be deeply missed by his wife and family. The family extends grateful thanks to all medical personnel and Pastor Peter Hanson who provided loving care during the last difficult week of his life. A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, January 29, 2010 at 1.30 p.m. at Mount Olive Lutheran Church, 2350 – 148th Street, South Surrey, followed by a reception and time of sharing memories.

Lloyd, John Andrew ‘Andy’ passed away peacefully December 21, 2009 at Peace Arch Hospital, White Rock, BC with his family by his side. He will be dearly missed by Margaret, his wife of 61 years and sweetheart for 64 years, their five children and their spouses, George and Julie of Whidbey Island; Ken and Kate of Victoria; Andrea and John of Ontario; Karen of White Rock; and Susan and Ron of Ontario, his twelve much- loved grandchildren, Drew, Ali, Sarah, Zoe, John, Jordan, Brendan, Jason, David, Seamus, Meaghan and Molly, his brother Ted of Lang Bay, sister Jean Mullen of Campbell River and many nieces and nephews throughout BC. Andy was an honourable, humble gentleman with a great sense of humour who provided selfless service to others throughout his life. He was born in 1924, in Manitoba, the fourth of 8 children. Andy was a responsible older brother who loved and cared for his siblings throughout his years. During the 1930s, the family settled near Lang Bay, BC. He volunteered and served overseas with the RCAF during WWII as a member of the Snowy Owl Squadron from 1943 to 1945, surviving more than 30 missions over occupied Europe . Back home after the war, he fell in love with the new schoolteacher in town and in 1948 he and Margaret were married. Upon graduation from UBC, he began work at Canada Packers, where he made a significant contribution for over 25 years in Vancouver and later in Toronto. When his children were young, Andy volunteered as a Cub Scout Leader, helped to form the Burnaby Curling Club, and served on the boards of Vancouver General Hospital and the BC Cerebral Palsy Association. Over the past 23 years, as his twelve grandchildren were born, they each became a special source of pride in his life. Upon moving to White Rock after retirement, when not working in his bountiful garden, Andy continued his dedication to community as a member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Crescent Beach Branch #240 where he held positions on the Executive Committee, as Vice President, and on the Poppy Committee. In addition, he was a dedicated member of the Air Crew Association, Vancouver Branch Executive. Each Remembrance Day, Andy proudly made a presentation to students at Semiahmoo Secondary School. Until 2006, he was an active member of the Peace Arch Curling Club where he enjoyed sharing his love of curling with middle school students. Andy and Margaret were often seen in each other’s arms as they square danced, round danced, and jazz danced together in and around White Rock. A celebration of his life was held at The Royal Canadian Legion, Crescent Legion Branch #240 on December 27, 2009. Donations may be made to the B.C. Cancer Foundation online or phone 604-877-6040, the Royal Canadian Legion Bursary Fund, 3026 Arbutus Street, Vancouver, BC, V6J 4P7 or to a charity of your choice.

Jan departed from this world, in peace, on January 19th 2010, not long after his 89th birthday. Born in Holland, the 7th of 14 children, he left home early in life to join the merchant navy and saw much of the world, returning to take part in the resistance during WW II and surviving Buchenwald. Subsequently, working as a navigator for the Royal Dutch Airlines in the far-east, he met and married Henriette Millard, a survivor of the Japanese concentration camps in Indonesia. They had two children, Fred and Karin, and moved to Indonesia. Forced to leave due to anti-colonial unrest, the family immigrated to Canada, where Jan worked first as a logger, then as an insurance salesman and finally joined Indian Affairs, where he found his true calling. Always on the move, he was posted in Terrace, the Queen Charlottes, Bella Coola, Nanaimo, Edmonton and finally Williams Lake, where, as a strong believer in self-sufficiency, he directed his energies toward placing indigenous peoples in control of their own destiny. Jan is survived by his wife, two children and will be dearly missed by his immediate family and friends, as well as the many people whose lives he touched as he made a very positive and joyful journey through a well lived life.
