Vehicle vandalism follows dumping of chemical at base of view-obscuring tree

Councillors advised to be more vigilant Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Two vehicles belonging to White Rock Coun. Helen Fathers were vandalized overnight Friday. And while police so far are not drawing a link to increasing tensions over the city’s tree bylaw, Fathers can’t help but wonder if someone upset with recent decisions chose to take their frustrations out on her. “When you’re dealing with an issue, it’s

really hard to not see a connection,” Fathers said Monday. “I can’t help but feel targeted.” Fathers and her husband woke Saturday to discover their Mazda truck and Honda Civic had both been spray-painted. As well, two tires on the truck and one on the car had been punctured. The Civic was parked in the driveway of their Lee Street home at the time; the truck, on the road out front. The damage – which occurred between 8 and 10:30 p.m. Friday – comes barely a

month after council approved the removal of three trees on Royal Avenue in response to neighbours’ concerns the trees were obscuring their views, and less than a day after a crumbled “white, brick-like material” – believed to be similar to pool chemicals – was found at the base of one of those trees. Police are investigating both incidents, but say at this point there is no evidence the two are connected. see page 4

Dive team pulls woman from Serpentine River

Driver revived after 90 minutes underwater Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A woman was revived Monday after being submerged for an hour-and-a-half in the Serpentine River. She remained in grave condition a day later. The driver, in her mid-20s, was travelling

southbound on Highway 99 at about 9:50 a.m., when her black, late-model Honda Civic veered through the barrier of the Serpentine Bridge. Police said speed is believed to be a factor. The car plunged into four-metre deep water, coming to rest upside-down on the bottom. Members of the Crescent Beach Coast Guard

Auxiliary told Peace Arch News the car was not visible from the surface. Once located, an RCMP dive team extricated the driver and emergency crews revived her. She was listed in grave condition at Peace Arch News’ press time Tuesday. Witnesses should call police at 604-946-2184.

Newly chosen premier-designate Christy Clark’s three rivals put aside the disagreements of the leadership campaign Saturday evening and vowed to work together to carry on the BC Liberal government’s work. MLA Kevin Falcon (SurreyCloverdale) finished a close second to Clark on the third and final ballot, but enough of Shuswap MLA George Abbott’s support Boaz Joseph photo went to Clark to Christy Clark give her the win. One of the disagreements Falcon had with Clark was whether the party should dispense with the scheduled election date of May 2013 and have an early vote to give the new leader a fresh mandate. “I’m sure that Christy will talk to all of us in the caucus before she makes any final decisions around that,” Falcon, an Ocean Park resident, said after the vote. “There are opportunities for byelections (for Clark to run for a seat). I’m sure Christy will look at all of those, and I’m sure she’ll ask for advice and counsel from other MLAs like myself. And I’ll be there providing it, and I’ll be supporting her.” see page 2

Christy Clark started her first day as premier-designate Sunday at her son’s hockey game, with plans to appoint a cabinet, move the referendum on the harmonized sales tax up to June and win a seat in a byelection as soon as possible. After the final vote result was revealed at the Vancouver Convention Centre Saturday, Clark – the only candidate not currently an MLA – was joined by rival candidates and the rest of the BC Liberal MLAs on stage and promised to work together as a team. Clark said she respects their decision to support other candidates – only BurnabyLougheed MLA Harry Bloy endorsed her – and she looks forward to building on the legacy of Premier Gordon Campbell. In her speech, Clark stressed her campaign theme of families. “My commitment to putting families first

starts with job creation and fighting poverty,” Clark said. “These are going to be the top priorities for our government.” Interim NDP leader Dawn Black issued a statement congratulating Clark and urging her to call the legislature back into session. “Specifically, she needs to table legislation moving up the HST referendum, establish an independent third-party review of the $6-million payoff to the BC Liberal insiders in the BC Rail corruption trial, and table a new budget that invests in people, creates jobs, and helps B.C. families make ends meet,” Black said. On the third and final ballot, Clark received 4,420 votes using the party’s weighted voting system. After third-place contender George Abbott dropped off the ballot, Kevin Falcon finished with 4,080 points, 48 per cent of party support to Clark’s 52 per cent. Party president Mickey Patryluk said the turnout was 62 per cent of nearly 90,000 members.

news EMS timetables to divide junior, senior classes

Parents seek portables over time shifts Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

About 100 parents of Earl Marriott Secondary students attended a Parent Advisory Council meeting at the school Monday evening to discuss the flexible class schedule planned for this fall. The new schedule is to address space shortfalls by extending the school day to five blocks from four, with students starting earlier or staying later than they are now. The plan is for Grade 8 and 9 students to start and end the school day at different times than most Grade 10-12 students – and

have different lunch breaks – with the proposed school day falling from about 8 a.m to 2 p.m. for juniors, and around 9:15 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for seniors. Surrey School District spokesperson Doug Strachan said parents at the meeting suggested adding more portables instead of adopting a flexible class schedule. “The district doesn’t see that as the best solution,” Strachan said. “There’s just no place at Earl Marriott to put portables. They’re landlocked there between residences and streets. “The other consideration around portables is the cost, in excess of $100,000 each. That

comes right out of the operating budget.” Also invited to the 7 p.m. meeting was Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg. Hogg told Peace Arch News he is aware of challenges Surrey schools are facing, and has been speaking “consistently” with the ministers of education and finance. Hogg said he is optimistic more funds will come to Surrey, although when it arrives is unclear with government “to a large degree on hold” with the designation of a new premier last weekend. “There will be money coming to Surrey – the board of education will have to make as judicious a decision as they can to decide

where that money will go.” Hogg planned to witness over-crowding at Earl Marriott firsthand Tuesday at 11:30 a.m., when he was to take a tour of the building during a class change and lunch break. “Probably standing in a stairway between classes is a good way to experience it.”

Student protest Tuesday afternoon, after PAN deadline, students were planning to walk out of class and stand in front of the 15751 16 Ave. school in protest of the new timetable. See peacearchnews.com for coverage.

Emergency response

Park trees ‘a danger’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The pending removal of two dozen trees from White Rock’s Maccaud Park is a “real shame,” one area resident says. “It’s just going to be decimated,” said Dave Allen, who has lived near the Kent Street park since 1990 and walks his black lab-border collie cross, Dexter, there daily. “It’s one of the last real kind of green spaces we have in White Rock.” The ill-fated alders, each of them tagged with red spray paint, are to be removed this week, a city official confirmed. They were identified as hazardous last month, along with two maples on Victoria Avenue and a dead spruce on Columbia Lane. The sooner they are removed, the better, said Rob Thompson, the city’s director of engineering and municipal operations. “The words to emphasize are ‘extreme hazard risk,’” Thompson said. “Once I’ve been informed… I’m obligated to move on it as soon as possible and protect the people that use the park. “This is an emergency response.” The park – which stretches from North Bluff Road to Thrift Avenue

Brian Giebelhaus photo

White Rock resident Dave Allen is concerned about the future of Maccaud Park after learning about the upcoming removal of two dozen trees – is popular among Earl Marriott Secondary students who frequent it before and after school, as well as on their lunch break. Thompson said he and the city’s arbourist make regular visits to the park and have become increas-

ingly concerned with the state of its alders in recent weeks. He is no stranger to what can happen if such hazards aren’t addressed. “A cousin of mine, he was killed by a tree falling and crushing him when he was almost 10 years old,”

he said. “I don’t want to be responsible for that impact on a family for anybody that uses the park.” It will cost $3,000-$5,000 for all 27 trees to come out – a small price to pay for public safety, Thompson said, noting a public process antici-

pated to begin in late spring will help determine the park’s future. Allen said he is concerned the park will be left “a wasteland.” But Thompson is hopeful the community will want it to remain “an active park of some nature.”

Island mentality should be considered, reports steering committee

Branding of White Rock back up for discussion Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock city councillors are once again mulling a ‘brand’ for the city, following recommendations from a group tasked to revisit the issue and suggest ways to define and market the community. In presenting three potential themes – “City by the Sea,” “A West Coast Gem” and “Abundantly Beautiful” – branding steering committee chair Chris Thornley encouraged councillors to take time to digest the group’s suggestions before casting their votes. “Don’t rush to judgment on it,” Thornley said during presentation of the group’s final report last week. “It took us a little while to see how the pieces fit together.”

For one, the

city is conflicted by a constant pull and push between those who desire change and those who don’t. “Unfortunately, the fear of change can be debilitating and prevent White Rock from truly embracing what it can be,” the report states. The second challenge, the report notes, is one of geography; the reality that White Rock, on a practical basis, extends beyond its physical boundaries to function as part of the broader Semiahmoo Peninsula. The report also notes there is “some truth” in the conclusions that Whisper drew about White Rock. For example, while the city is not an island, it boasts an islandlike lifestyle, with many residents wishing it to remain unchanged. “The ‘Island of White Rock’ may

not be the way that the city wishes to promote itself, but there are elements of our relaxed, slower-paced lifestyle that could be integral to a branding plan,” the report states. The committee recommends the city position itself as a place where arts and culture, health and wellness, active family living, urban life, nature, business excellence and more all thrive. Coun. Lynne Sinclair suggested the report go online, a move Thornley – noting negative reaction to the leaked Whisper report – suggested be delayed. The committee felt strongly that the Whisper report “was released ahead of any good discussion,” Thornley said. The report is now available online at www.city.whiterock.bc.ca

news Critics say Port Mann forecast looks overly optimistic

Drivers ‘might avoid tolls’ Jeff Nagel Black Press

Despite growing evidence motorists will drive out of their way to avoid tolls, the provincial government is counting on many more drivers paying to cross the tolled Port Mann Bridge than it currently carries for free. And if that optimistic forecast fails to materialize, the pricey North Surrey project may gush red ink for years to come. The new 10-lane bridge is expected to rake in $175 million in tolls in its first full year of operations in 2013, according to numbers tabled this month with the provincial budget. That’s based on a traffic forecast of 150,000 daily users paying tolls – 20 per cent more than the 125,000 who crossed for free in 2007 and about seven per cent more than the 140,000 the bridge is expected to carry this year. But even at that level, the Port Mann Bridge is expected to lose money because toll revenues won’t yet match the province’s annual costs of debt servicing and paying the private operators. The Transportation Investment Corp. – B.C.’s Crown corporation created to oversee the Port Mann/ Highway 1 project and ensure the tolls eventually cover the $3.3-billion cost – predicts significant subsidies in the initial years, with the Port Mann starting to break

Crimes of opportunity continue to plague White Rock. Despite repeated appeals to the public to lock doors and secure valuables, officers are regularly responding to such crime scenes. “I don’t get this. How many times can we put this in the paper?” Sgt. Roland Pierschke said. The most disturbing incident of late occurred just after 1 a.m. Feb. 19, when a Foster Street resident awoke to find a man in her bedroom. Police say the man had entered the woman’s first-floor apartment through an unlocked sliding door. The intruder made no attempt to harm the woman, took nothing and fled when she woke. A police dog team was unsuccessful in catching up to the culprit, described as five-footeight, 140 pounds and about 20 years old.

even in 2017. That break-even date, however, depends on the number of daily paying drivers climbing to between 175,000 and 180,000, and tolls exceeding $200 million. The rosy forecasts are in contrast with the experience so far at the tolled Golden Ears Bridge, where traffic levels and toll revenues are well below what TransLink expected. But Transportation Investment Corp. spokesman Max Logan rejects that comparison, noting the Golden Ears created a new link where use is expected to build over time. “We are looking at a very different profile of user and profile of traffic for the Port Mann Bridge than the Golden Ears Bridge,” he said.

are expected to divert to the Pattullo or Alex Fraser bridges to cross the Fraser River for free, Logan acknowledged. “But we expect there are other drivers who are using crossings like the Pattullo who will move back to the Port Mann despite the toll due to the fairly dramatic travel time savings they’re going to experience.” Cars will be charged a minimum $3 to cross one-way, provided they use a transponder or pay within two days – otherwise the cost will be $5.30. The base toll will rise 2.5 per cent a year. The provincial government has promised the tolls will come off the Port Mann when it’s paid for – at the end of the 35-year contract with the partners that are building, operating and maintaining it. But if drivers’ response is lukewarm and the tolls don’t ultimately cover the costs, Victoria could be forced to either absorb a loss on the bridge on behalf of taxpayers or keep tolls in place beyond 2048. Surrey trucker Todd Norberg said he and nearly everyone he knows will avoid the tolled Port Mann “like the plague.” “People are going to either transfer their jobs or they’re going to avoid it altogether,” he predicts. “The only people who are going to be crossing it are the wealthy and the impatient drivers.”

No tolerance for political violence

ehicles belonging to White Rock Coun. Helen Fathers were damaged Friday in what police are describing as a “vicious attack.” There is speculation the vandalism is linked to recent controversy that followed a council decision to approve removal of three trees on Royal Avenue. Fathers wasn’t part of the Jan. 24 decision, but has since spoken out against it. While some may disagree, the history behind the issue is irrelevant when considering what happened Friday. Whatever the motive, the act is reprehensible. But if the incident was, in fact, targeted at Fathers because of her stand on any civic issue, there should be greater concern and even less tolerance. There is a process in place for voicing discontent with all levels of government in Canada. At the grassroots level, concerned citizens may approach elected individuals for one-on-one conversations. At the other end of the spectrum, when it is felt government has overstepped its authority, the ombudsman may become involved. Elections, such as the civic one coming up this November, are another definitive place to express disapproval. In White Rock, citizens have used a variety of methods to speak out. They have petitioned and written letters; they have phoned individual councillors, applied for delegations and stood up during question period. There is little doubt that not all who have raised their voice – on any matter – have come away completely satisfied, and no doubt emotions are high when it comes to the Royal Avenue trees. But it doesn’t change the fact that whatever the issue is, there is no excuse for destruction or personal attacks. Dissatisfaction with the system – whether it is with municipal government, the health authority or any other political body – should never be expressed with violence. And just as harsher punishments are rendered against those responsible for crimes against those who serve and protect us in the police force, so too must be the case for those who take their frustrations out on our elected officials. Those responsible for ever choosing such a path should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.

114 responding is a “defining moment” for B.C. politics. No longer will BC Liberals be able to tell voters, it’s us or the NDP. “We’re now acknowledging, and the Liberals are acknowledging that they are a Liberal party,” White said. During the campaign, Clark blundered on about the harmonized sales tax, the timing of the next election and the government’s ability to cap the rapid growth of health-care spending. She’s fond of saying she spent the last four years listening to the people as a radio host. Apparently that’s long enough to start believing the bumper-sticker solutions that are so often the fodder of talk radio. There were more hints of this in her victory speech. Clark’s top two priorities are “job creation and fighting poverty.” She’s just won the leadership of a party that has been saying for 15 years that government doesn’t create jobs. And the NDP continues its own earnest but mainly fanciful debate about how poverty can be legislated away by government intervention, while trumpeting distorted statistics about the plight of B.C. children. If Clark wants to reach out to conservative-minded voters, she might start by acknowledging that the province is currently running an operating deficit of close to $1 billion, with another year in the red still to come. But so far it looks as if she will tack to the left, and risk making the BC Conservatives’ day. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Extravagance costs students Editor: Re: Accept blame for secondary squeeze play, Feb. 16. I am a parent who, in the week of Feb. 7, first heard of Earl Marriott Secondary’s proposal for extending the school day. I was not consulted nor was I informed of alternatives that were considered but rejected. I also have not heard short-term and long-term plans to properly resolve the issue of overcrowding and future growth. Clearly the required funding to build new schools or fund additional portables is not on the agenda at this time. Extending the school day – flexible scheduling – does not address the basic issues facing the school: a growing population and lack of sufficient funds. I believe there are better short-term options. First, consider the student population. The school is well over capacity. My child who attends the school says the kids are shoulderto-shoulder in the hallways at class change, and portables litter the property. Buildings open to the public usually are subject to fire or other regulations that limit capacity. That a fire were to occur in the school frightens me to no end. Where have the students come from? Surrey has been growing steadily and projections are it will continue to grow. There don’t appear to be clear catchment areas nor does there seem to be an enrolment cap. The French-immersion program draws large numbers of students. Does Earl Marriott receive funding incentives that make it attractive to continue to accommodate the program? Perhaps the district should relocate the French -immersion program to a facility with the capacity to support it. This would increase the number of available classrooms and ease overcrowding in common areas. Now, consider the funding allocated to the school program itself. Our school offers a wide variety of courses. I was amazed our school calendar reads more like a community-college calendar than a high school course offering – courses such as Travel and Tourism 11 and 12, Graphic Literature and five discrete Carpentry and Joinery courses, to name a few. I can only imagine it is more costly to offer such choices: books, materials, accommodation, specialized tools and equipment… These specialized courses must require specialized teachers. Perhaps the curriculum is too extravagant. In the short term, could the resources be better used to ensure there are sufficient portables? Flexible scheduling is not an answer. How can the addition of one hour to the school address overcrowding? It is a shell game which will continue to worsen as enrolment increases. Students are going to be shunted out of class, to where, for an hour of noninstructional time. Earl Marriott should cap enrolment and reduce the course

offerings to a more basic level. It should also ensure there are an appropriate number of portables. What is missing is a long-term plan to deal with the realities of educating a growing population. Overcrowding did not suddenly happen and the future projections of growth are not new. Where is the funding to build new schools appropriate to community demand? Flexible scheduling at Earl Marriott does not address these issues. C. Robertson, Surrey

CHP message alerts voters Editor: Re: ‘Naive to think all cultures compatible,’ Feb. 11. Thank you for publishing federal candidate Rob Schouten’s ridiculous drivel about the slippery slope Canada is apparently falling down with regard to radical Islam.

The fact one of their candidates spouts this kind of sanctimonious nonsense serves as an example of why nobody except for the fringe far-right cares about – or votes for – the Christian Heritage Party. If anything, their policies – involving abortion, gun control, gays and capital punishment – conflict more with Canadian values than any policy endorsed by any mainstream Muslim organization in Canada. Schouten needs to look in the mirror. Kirk Pedersen, Surrey

quote of note

(MP Russ) Hiebert is the puppet-master behind these letters. While I was on the board, Russ arranged for all board letters to the media.a Robert Hearn

File photo

Russ Hiebert is right not to comment on issues raised by past EDA board members, says president Andrew McVie.

Party members already had say Editor: Re: Internal criticism shocks Hiebert backer, Feb. 16; Conservative divide swells over Hiebert, Feb. 18. For the last two weeks, Peace Arch News has several articles I find to be exceedingly misleading about our MP Russ Hiebert and the Conservative party’s electoral district association (EDA) board in our community. Here are the facts: 1) On Jan. 29, our EDA had an annual general meeting, a delegate selection meeting and a winter social. For in excess of seven hours across three separate events, our membership worked together constructively. There was not a single sign of discontent from members of the EDA or board, both past and incoming. 2) Members of every EDA with a Conservative MP were given the opportunity in the spring of 2009 to request an open-nomination process, if they so wished. The party members of the South Surrey-White RockCloverdale EDA chose to continue to support Russ Hiebert as our candidate in the next election. 3) Russ Hiebert has been silent on this story and will remain so because, as Peace Arch News has been told on several occasions now, he does not speak for the EDA. Russ is the right person to speak to about government policies, but on matters involving our EDA I have been elected by our board as president and thus act as the representative on behalf of the EDA. Therefore, Russ has been doing his job properly by refraining from commenting on this issue, and it is inappropriate to continue to berate him for doing his job properly. Andrew McVie, White Rock

Reasons for leaving Despite the claims of new local Conservative party EDA president Andrew McVie on behalf of his MP, Russ Hiebert, the flood of resignations and departures from the local Tory board were anything but shocking and were, in fact, completely predictable. As a longtime volunteer and Conservative EDA board member from 2004 to 2010 – who hoped to simply decline to stand for another term on the board quietly – I now feel voters from all parties in our riding deserve to judge for themselves. Revealingly, even the director who called asking me to stand again said he was only serving for another year because it was his job to make the nomination-for-director phone calls. The truth is that all parties have divisions, and that can even be a good thing in terms of openness and debate. The problem in Hiebert’s case is that, unlike with a deep policy split, the departures of communications director David Wiens, EDA presidents and past-presidents Jim Scott and Jerry Presley, respectively, social events director Justin Malezewski

and myself, the scholarship chair, all were because people no longer felt comfortable serving someone we could not support ethically and could not support or oppose democratically either, and so these departures were completely predictable. Specifically, the issues which have hurt Russ ethically with his own board of directors have included a 2004 request for $5,000 in party funds for entertainment expenses – which was blocked – and flying himself and his family on executive-class flights during the worst economic crisis in over 60 years. Finally, what proved fatal was asking for $41,000 in pre-election spending last fall from the local board because an election was “imminent,” and then suddenly deciding that once the president asked for an invoice and oversight into how these funds were to be spent that, lo and behold, last fall’s imminent election was no longer imminent. I do not believe that Hiebert is a bad man. Both his wife and his family are wonderful. The problem is that neither Andrea nor his children are the member of Parliament. And now, when his new board president claims all of these departures are shocking, how does he explain to this community that the entire board was sequestered for over an hour at our November board meeting while a National Council representative, Menno Froese, tried to reconcile these differences over ethics and democracy among the executives on Hiebert’s Conservative board? Those of us who felt we were truly loyal to the party and its leader felt we had no other choice. Walter van Halst, Surrey Q Re: Mixed review, Feb. 23 letters. Regarding Hardy Staub’s comment in the PAN stating Russ Hiebert is part of an orchestrated letter campaign, I was on Russ’s board for two years and just recently left. During this time, I backed Hiebert, including submitting one support letter to the editor surrounding his cheque-signing issues of October 2009. Otherwise, I have not communicated with the media. I now see letters to the editor describing their past board members as disgruntled. Well, I agree with Staub that Hiebert is the puppetmaster behind these letters. While I was on the board, Russ arranged for all board letters to the media. It was Russ that asked for board members to write the letter I submitted. I wrote my own letter but I had the option to use a pre-written letter supplied by a staff member. Eventually, I, along with other board members, grew tired of these ‘cheesy’ antics by Hiebert. Therefore, I will not be voting for Russ in the next election. However, my support for the Conservative party will return once Russ Hiebert has departed; first-class, I suspect. Robert Hearn, Surrey

Give peas a chance

local ﬂavours

t was the decade of peace, love, war, tie-dye and, of course, the Beatles. For John Haviland, an investment retirement planner for the Royal Bank of Canada, the ‘60s also bring flashbacks of an Kristyl Clark “unsightly, yet tasty” meal his mother would sometimes serve for dinner when in a pinch for time – Creamed Salmon and Peas on Toast. “My mom has always been a great cook, so this recipe has always been a big joke in our family,” laughs the 58-year-old father of two of the runny retro recipe he used to turn his nose up at as a young child. “She made it for dinner one night when my father’s parents came over unannounced – I was just a little guy. I took one look at the peas floating around the plate with salmon and refused to eat it, even though I wasn’t allowed to leave the table until it was gone. When everyone went to bed, I fed it to my dog.” Despite not giving the comfort dish a chance as a child, Haviland has warmed up to it as an adult. “I’ll definitely make it now. It’s great for lunch or a quick dinner.” Haviland, who has been on the board of directors for Sources in White Rock for the past six years, is looking forward to reliving the age of aquarius and bell bottoms outside of the kitchen during the non profit organization’s 16th annual gala

at Hazelmere Golf & Country Club on Saturday, March 12. “This is the most fun you’ll ever have and it’s money that’s well spent,” said Haviland of the flower power event called Flashback To The Sixties. Proceeds will help assist the more than 13,000 individuals Sources serves each year in Surrey, White Rock, Delta, Prince George and beyond – everyone from infants, children and seniors, to families in crisis as well as those in need of food, shelter or employment.

business Decorated suites still open for public viewing

Design winners announced Morgan Crossing’s search for BC’s Best Young Designer has concluded, with Vancouver resident Daniel Meloche taking top prize. Meloche – an interior designer who graduated from the Art Institute of Vancouver – was chosen from six finalists for decorating one of the South Surrey development’s two-bedroom condos using a clean and contemporary design aesthetic with pops of colour and strong lighting elements. “I am overwhelmed and thankful for the honour,” said Meloche, who will choose either an allexpenses paid trip to New York City for the Architectural Digest Home Design Show or the cash equivalent as his prize. “The competition was not only a great test of skill, but also a test of strategy in orchestrating my design vision on budget and on time.” Judge Kari Henshaw, of Insight Design Group, said judges were looking for the designer who captured their target market while remaining true to their own design aesthetic. “It’s a tough balance to achieve, and Daniel accomplished it with thoughtfulness, cleverness and a well-executed design,” Henshaw said. The finalists – who were selected from around 16 video

Frog and Toad Surrey Arts Centre will be awash in amiable amphibians – and talent – when the young players of Surrey Youth Theatre Company (SYTCO) present A Year With Frog and Toad, March 4-6. Based on the popular children’s books by Arnold Lobel, the Tonynominated Broadway musical has music by Robert Reale and book and lyrics by Willie Reale, and is directed by SYTCO founder and artistic director Susan Pendleton, with choreography by the ubiquitous Carol Seitz. Staying true to the spirit of the original books, the family-friendly show follows cheerful Frog and sometimes grumpy Toad through four fun-filled seasons, along the way celebrating the idea of friendship and the attributes that make each of us different and special. Awaking from hibernation in the spring, Frog (Ethan Donnelly) and Toad (Cassandra Strain) enjoy themselves – and meet new friends – while planting gardens, swimming in the pond in the summer, raking leaves in the fall and sledding downhill in the winter. Also featured in the production are Benjamin Dunnill (Snail), Jordan Aisenstat (Mouse) and Marina Cyr, Fiona Firby and Adriana Dobbie (The Three Birds). Completing the cast are Kana Saarni, Paisley Hoogenraad, Kallista Van Beest, Madison Smith, Andrea Moorhouse, Elizabeth Olsson and Jenna Gunderson.

Mardi Gras Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240’s annual Mardi Gras event will be back, Saturday, March 5 – this time with two bands. Perennial favourites Mojo Zydeco, fronted by Randy Schultz, will be joined by a reunion of Tony Rees’ Blues Caboose (for which Schultz also played guitar). The latter band, which wound down in the 1990s, was noted for reviving original blues from the `20s, `30s and `40s in an upbeat, electric context. Joining Rees and Schultz will be original band members Dave Clairmont (bass) and Martin Eade (drums). Mojo Zydeco (featuring Jane Carnahan Schultz on rub board) will also present its always entertaining salute to the danceable driving rhythms of rural Louisiana. But there’s also a serious subtext to the evening – the event is also in support of the Jack Velker Legacy Project which is keeping

alive the music of the late keyboardist extraordinaire – who was also Mojo Zydeco’s dynamic accordionist. The multi-talented Velker was also a talented composer in many idioms and the project is releasing much of his work on CDs, some of which will be available at the event, which is also an opportunity for those who knew the musician to relive fond memories of him. For more information, call the legion at 604-535-1043 or Mojo Zydeco at 604-721-0872.

Arts and Culture Cafe Members of the public are invited to get involved and make their voices heard in an ongoing conversation on the arts in White Rock, by participating in an upcoming Arts and Culture Cafe, Monday, March 7, 7-9 p.m. at the White Rock Community Centre, Miramar Village. The session is designed for individuals to share thoughts and desires, and also learn about the ongoing arts and culture scan commissioned by the city of White Rock.

Audiences are invited to dress in black and white to match the black and white theme of drama teacher/director Candace Radcliffe’s version, which emphasizes a timeless ‘old but new’ look, aided by an original digital music score by technical director Sebastian Galina, blending classical-style melodies with techno beats (choreography of fights and dances is by Carol Seitz). The star-crossed romance of Romeo (Erik Kavanaugh) and Juliet (Marika Stanger) will be given added vibrance for modern audiences by a swift pace, multimedia presentation, a beautiful masked ball and sword fights staged throughout the auditorium. Also featured are Reilley Olexson (Princess of Verona), Ben Avery (Montague), Celine

White Rock Chamber Music’s next recital is scheduled for Saturday, March 12, 7:30 p.m. at the Pacific Carlton, 15366 17 Ave. Featured performers will be pianist Christina Lo, Italian operatic baritone Silvano Gastaldo (accompanied by pianist Eric Hominick), jazz pianist Sky Leuba, soprano Sarah McNair, and the duo of harpist Kailee Price and flautist Dru Yates.

Gastaldo, who emigrated to Canada in 1962, is a past member of the 100 Voice Archdiocese Choir, the B.C. Italian Choir and the Italian Folk Choir, and for the last six years has directed (with his daughter) the Coro Trevigiano Veneto. He is also co-founder of the Italian Men’s Choir of Canada, and has sung with the Boundary Opera Society, the Handel Society, the Cathedral Choir and the Austrian Choir.

Junior Warriors advance to provincials Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

For just the second time in school history, White Rock Christian Academy’s junior boys hoops team is headed to provincials, and with a Fraser Valley banner tucked in their back pocket, to boot. The junior Warriors earned a spot at the 16-team B.C. tournament with a 74-62 win

Friday night over the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers, and then captured the Fraser Valley title one night later after grinding out a 54-51 win over the W.J. Mouat Hawks at Seaquam Secondary in Delta, where the Valley championship rounds were held. WRCA point guard Tyus Allen led the Warriors with 27 points in Friday’s win, while Peter Spangehl – named tournament MVP

– had 22 points in Saturday’s final. B.C. Championships kick off Thursday at St. Michael’s University School in Victoria. The Fraser Valley banner was also a first for the WRCA junior program, according to assistant coach Dale Shury. “We’ve had lots of senior (team) banners, but this is a first-ever Fraser Valley for the juniors, so it’s kind of a big one,” he said.

Whereas Friday’s game was a high-scoring affair, Shury described Saturday’s title tilt as “a real defensive struggle.” White Rock led for most of the game, but after a fourth-quarter letdown, had to claw back into the lead with a late 6-0 run. The Warriors trailed by three with two minutes to go, but Vartan Tanelian sunk a shot to put White Rock back in front.

After his White Rock Christian Academy Warriors beat L.A. Matheson in the first game of Fraser Valley senior AAA boys basketball championships Friday night, John Dykstra read his team the riot act. Yes, they had won – 76-57 over the No. 27-seed Mustangs, led by 24 points from Will Ondrik and 15 from Kristoph Baerg – and were just two games away from securing a spot at provincials, but still, he was unimpressed and sounded anything like the victorious coach. “I’m not real happy, no,” he said from his office in the South Surrey school. “That was the last game we’re going to play in our gym this year, and the lack of intensity and attention to detail defensively – not boxing out, and just not playing tough – is disappointing.” He delivered a similar speech to his team after the game, warning them that their play had to improve before their second game, Monday night against the Seaquam Seahawks. “If Seaquam is anything, they’re tough, and we will get kicked – just absolutely kicked – if we play like that against Seaquam,” Dykstra said. His team got the message. On Monday night at Walnut Grove Secondary in Langley – host school for the early rounds of the Fraser Valleys – the Warriors put forth a much better effort and avoided “getting kicked” by the Seahawks. In fact, they did some kicking of their own, edging their Delta rivals 68-62. The Warriors led the Seahawks

WRCA’s Will Ondrik (right) drives to the hoop against L.A. Matheson Friday, in the first game of Fraser Valleys. 34-23 at halftime, but Seaquam cut the lead to four heading into the final quarter, and the game was tied 60-60 with just under two minutes to play, before WRCA went on an 8-2 run to end the game. “We still gave up too many points, but when we needed a big play, when we needed a (defensive) stop, we got it,” Dykstra said.

The win put the team in good shape heading into Tuesday’s game against the Walnut Grove Gators, which was played after Peace Arch News deadline. The winner of Tuesday’s game is guaranteed a top-four finish; eight teams from the Valley make provincials, slated for March 15 in Langley.

The loser would need to win Thursday in order to advance to B.C.’s. The other Peninsula team in the Fraser Valley championships, the 27th-seeded Earl Marriott Mariners, lost their first-round game Friday to the No. 2-seed Pitt Meadows Maruaders, 75-42. more basketball, page 26

The Surrey Eagles are just one game away from advancing to the second round of B.C. Hockey League playoffs, after winning three straight against the Coquitlam Express. Surrey opened the series with a 4-2 win at South Surrey Arena Friday, and followed that with a 4-1 victory the next night, also at home. On Monday, the Peninsula squad stretched their lead in the best-of-seven showdown to 3-0 with a convincing 7-1 thrashing of the Express at the Coquitlam Sports Centre. The Eagles had the chance to clinch the series in Game 4 Tuesday night in Coquitlam. Results were not available by press deadline. If a fifth game is necessary, it will be played Thursday at South Surrey Arena. Through the first three games of the series, special teams has keyed the Eagles’ victories. The Eagles are five-for-13 with on the power play in the series – a 38 per cent success rate – while the Express have yet to score with a Surrey player in the penalty box, at 0-for-19. Surrey’s penalty killers were especially strong Monday – Coquitlam was 0-for-9. In front of their home fans Friday night, the Eagles came out clearly energized, outshooting the Express 13-8 in the first period. In fact, they were unlucky to only be tied 1-1 after 20 see page 27

Cartridge World When your printer ink is running low, do you high-tail it to the nearest big box ofďŹ ce supply store and then cringe every time you pay the bill? If so, you should check out your local Cartridge World at 12-3189 King George Boulevard. For about half of what it costs to buy new, Cartridge World â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastest growing ink reďŹ lling retailer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; can reďŹ ll or remanufacture 95 per cent of inkjet and laser toner cartridges using top-quality, brand-speciďŹ c ink and toners.

Mike Kitchen

Operating more than 1,700 locations in 45 countries, Cartridge World keeps money IN your pocket and hundreds of millions of empty printer cartridges OUT of landďŹ lls every year. This proactive solution to waste reduction is a win-win for consumers, entrepreneurs and the environment.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Overpay On Your Ink and Toner This Year. Your local Cartridge World can show you a smarter way to print in 2011. Reduce costs on every page you print and help make our community â&#x20AC;&#x153;greener.â&#x20AC;? Drop by or call today and see how much you can save.

Frequently Asked Questions: Q: Is there a risk to using a reďŹ lled cartridge? Not at all! There should be no difference in the print quality after the cartridge is reďŹ lled. Our 100% money back satisfaction guarantee is a sign of our conďŹ dence and removes any risk from you trying our services. Q: How much money will I save by reďŹ lling? Your savings may vary depending on your printer. As a rule of thumb, you can expect to save up to 50 per cent on reďŹ lls at Cartridge World, compared to the cost of a brand new cartridge. In fact, Peninsula businesses and residents are saving hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars every year by making the switch. And they especially like the fact that they are helping to protect the future of our environment. Q: Will using reďŹ lled cartridges void the printer manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warranty? No. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prohibits the printer manufacturer from voiding the warranty. Printer manufacturers will almost always advise you against reďŹ lling because they want you to keep buying their expensive replacement cartridges and accessories. You can feel conďŹ dent that cartridges sold, reďŹ lled or remanufactured by Cartridge World will meet or exceed your expectations. Our own warranty also extends to your printer on any valid claim! Q: Is cartridge reďŹ lling and remanufacturing the only service Cartridge World provides? No. Cartridge World is a one-stop shop!

sports Elgin Park senior girls played wild-card game Tuesday

Orcas still in hunt for B.C. berth Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Four wins and one loss at Fraser Valley Championships last week leave the Elgin Park Orcas still very much in the hunt for a provincial championship berth – but it will take a winner-takes-all wild card game to get there. The Orcas, who finished fifth at Valleys, played off against Oak Bay

Tuesday evening in Victoria, with the winner nabbing one of the three wildcard spots for B.C. triple-A senior girls basketball championships. Results of the game were not available by press deadline. The Orcas, seeded eighth headed into the tournament, opened Fraser Valleys with a win over the Gleneagle Talons, but lost their second game to highly ranked W.J. Mouat.

Richard Vanderhoek scored the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first goal, but Coquitlam captain Riley McIntosh tied the game at the 14:56 mark, beating Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; netminder Karel St. Laurent with a shot off the rush. Surrey regained the lead early in the middle frame, however, when Brad McGowan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who finished four points off the league scoring lead during the regular season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; scored from down near the goal line, powering toward the net before deftly lifting a shot over Express netminder Khaleed Devjiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoulder from in close.

SHELEMEY, Andrew Dec. 2, 1924 - Feb. 20, 2011 With the deepest of sorrow we wish to announce the sudden, tragic passing of Andrew (Andy) Shelemey who was taken from us at the age of 86. Andrew was born of Ukrainian decent in Liski, Poland. After WWII in 1948, he boarded the ship The White Star “Scythia” for a voyage to Canada to join his brother and family in Edmonton. There he met Lucy, his wife and lifelong love, who he married in 1951. Andy worked for the City of Edmonton in Parks & Recreation for 35 years. The majority of his work were years spent building and restoration of Fort Edmonton Park. We have many fond memories of how much he enjoyed life at our cabin on Pigeon Lake. Many summers and good times were shared together there with family and friends who were so important to him. After retirement in 1996, Andy & Lucy moved to White Rock, BC to join their children and we were blessed to have all the immediate family in the Lower Mainland. He so loved to spend time with his children and grandchildren. Andy is survived by his loving wife of almost 60-years Lucy Shelemey of White Rock, BC. His children, Daughter Jean Shelemey of Vancouver, Son & Daughter in-law John & Jacquie Shelemey of Langdale, and their children Hannah & Hayley, Daughter and Son in-law Diana & Brian Pozzolo of Coquitlam, and their children Josie & Jayden and step grand-daughter Ashley & son Jordon. Andy was a strong, loving man who had a wonderful sense of humour, an infectious laugh and brought and shared kindness to everyone who knew him. He will also be greatly missed by his extended family including numerous relatives from St. Albert, Edmonton and friends in White Rock. Memorial service will be held at 1:00 pm Friday March 4th, 2011 at: Victory Funeral Centre and Memorial Park 14831-28 Ave, Surrey, BC Reception will follow. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Your memories and spirit will touch us forever. May you rest in Eternal Love.
