Ellen Norris worked at Megatech, where she committed mega theft. Now, the former Surrey bookkeeper is serving a four-and-a-half year prison term and must repay $2,319,844.87 of the nearly $2.9 million she bilked from her former employer, Megatech Engineering Limited. Megatech is a steel fabricating company that started up in Surrey in 1986 and numbers BC Ferries and several mining companies and pulp mills among its clients. Norris was in charge of the company’s payroll and had signing authority on its chequing accounts between May 2000 and September 2005. She pleaded guilty to theft over $5,000, in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. Justice Robert Crawford noted her motive was “avarice; simple greed,” which drove Megatech and her 35 coworkers “right to the wall.” It was “happenstance,” he noted, that did Norris in when a Workers’ Compensation Board audit found a discrepancy between her T4 income for 2004 and the company’s payroll ledger. Digging deeper, the accountant found Norris had signed 577 company cheques totalling $2,633.537.90 to her benefit.

Fassbender will revisit bus funding Sandor Gyarmati Delta Optimist
The new minister of education appears willing to revisit the Delta school district’s bussing issue, said Vicki Huntington. The independent Delta South MLA said Peter Fassbender will re-examine the formula that resulted in severe cuts to the district’s transportation funding. Huntington noted the minister, responding to questions in the legislature, said, “We do recognize there are probably six districts in the province that have some unique issues as it relates to the transportation issue... We have a technical review Peter Fassbender committee that we have asked to sit down and take a look at those unique issues and to determine whether or not some adjustment in that formula is warranted.” The Delta school board approved a series of budget cuts this spring, including elimination of bussing for most students. To make up for a phased $728,000 transportation funding cut from the province, the district eliminated the rural bus program, although the service for special needs students will be maintained. The move angered many parents living in rural areas, who said their kids’ safety was being jeopardized. Huntington said the minister’s promised review is a step in the right direction. sgyarmati@delta-optimist

Sneak peek shows off expansion Mall’s $280M project bringing 70 new tenants, 1,800 new parking spots
Peggy White, general manager of Guildford Town Centre, led a tour through the mall’s $280-million expansion on Tuesday morning. The shopping centre will have its grand opening on Aug. 28, and all 70 of the mall’s new stores are scheduled to open by fall 2014. (Photo: JACOB ZINN)
Jacob Zinn Now contributor Twitter @jacobzinn
With Guildford Town Centre’s grand reopening scheduled for Aug. 28, the last-minute work is underway to get the mall ready for its 70 new tenants, which are all expected to be open by fall 2014. On Tuesday morning, about 75 business people were treated to a sneak peek of the GTC’s $280-million expansion, the largest shopping centre redevelopment in Canada. The guided tour was hosted by the mall and the Surrey Board of Trade. “This particular construction has created more than 4,000 jobs,” said Peggy White, general manager of Guildford Town Centre. “We’ve done more than one million construction man hours. The new retailers have about 750 permanent jobs.” The new stores include H&M, the Disney Store, the Lego Store, Browns Shoes, Aritzia, Victoria’s Secret, Sephora, Forever 21, Blue Ruby Jewellery, Jack & Jones, Bootlegger, Guess, Mexx,
Town Shoes, Fossil, Danier and Saje Natural Wellness. “We have 70 new tenants coming all at the same time, so that’s created a few challenges,” said White. “Some of them wanted to open as early as last weekend.” The expansion also features a parkade with 1,800 new parking spots and a new 1,034-seat food court with 16 restaurants, including A&W, Tim Hortons, Flaming Wok, KFC, Edo Japan, OPA of Greece, Subway, Thai Express and the Bourbon Street Grill. The mall now has two living walls – walls that are completely covered by plants – both inside
and outside of the shopping centre. White said the indoor one cost $350,000 to put up while the outdoor one cost $800,000 and, collectively, they will cost about $130,000 a year to maintain. In addition, the mall now has a spacious centre court with a glass-enclosed elevator, surrounded by a fountain with a waterfall running down the enclosure. White said she hopes that the new stores, the food court and other amenities will keep people in Surrey for their shopping needs. “We want people to stay on this side of the bridge.” jacobzinn@gmail.com
Judge calls scammer’s spending habits ‘amazing’ ‹ from page 1
This included $1.2 million in payments to American Express, $371,000 to Diners Club, $48,000 to MasterCard, $532,000 to CIBC Visa, $76,000 to National Bank MasterCard and $238,000 for miscellaneous stuff. “It is admittedly amazing that there are charges of over $3,000 at various dress places,” Crawford noted. On one day Norris spent $2,880 at a boutique in Toronto and then spent $5,092 at another women’s clothing store that same day.
She’d also spent “amazing amounts” on jewellery, Crawford noted. Norris’s boss confronted her after the accountant reported his findings. She confessed immediately, and was fired. “The damage to the company which apparently has some 35 employees was considerable and threw it to the edge of bankruptcy,” Crawford noted. “Ms. Norris has evidently not kept anything of value. I am left to wonder what happened to all the incredibly expensive clothing and
valuable jewellery.” Norris is 64, and has two adult children. She separated from her husband in 1991. “The stolen monies appear to be simply spent on herself and presumably spread around her friends and family who would appreciate the largesse. Sometimes there are food bills or restaurant bills of $1,000. It may be that others had some enjoyment but obviously Ms. Norris spent far beyond her $60,000 a year in salary,” Crawford said at sentencing. tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

It’s time for the North Delta area plan (NDAP) to go back for another round of revisions. The Corporation of Delta hosted two open houses in July, inviting the public to view and comment on the draft area plan that will guide future development. Wednesday was the final open house and the rest of the summer will be dedicated to revising the main ideas and finalizing the draft area plan for presentation to Delta council in the fall. The last time the area plan was updated was in 1995. “We’re very anxious to see what people think about it,” said Delta Mayor Lois Jackson. “These are huge, changing times in North Delta, with traffic in particular, and

we’re always looking for good ideas from the community to mitigate some of these impacts. I’m very anxious to get it in play.” Plans to update the NDAP have been in the works for more than a year and have involved the creation of a temporary NDAP committee, nearly $210,000 for a consultant and public input through two open houses last fall, a Public Ideas Fair this past spring and an online survey. Marcy Sangret, deputy director of community planning and development for Delta, said the next stage is to put together a draft for council to consider first and second readings of a bylaw in the fall. If council supports that, it will go to a public hearing. Delta is accepting further input on the draft area plan through an online survey that can be filled out at www.delta.ca/ northdelta until Aug. 9.

Whiplash Court Awards Explained If you’ve ever experienced whiplash – an injury to the muscle and soft tissues of your neck and back – you know how troublesome the injury can be. It’s even more difficult to assign a dollar value to the pain and suffering caused by whiplash. But if you’re injured in a car accident, you’ll generally be compensated if the court finds you didn’t cause the accident and you can prove your claim. The amount you receive varies from case to case. Typically, you’ll be paid your economic loss, including lost wages (net), future lost earnings if you can’t work as much or in the same job as before, and expenses such as chiropractic fees, taxi charges to and from the doctor’s office, and prescription costs. It’s much harder, though, to be properly compensated for the “human loss” – the headaches, the stiffness and soreness you feel when you move, or the fact that you can’t garden or play golf anymore. The courts have therefore said that a fair amount for this human loss – your pain and suffering – is one that should make your life more endurable and be of some solace to you. Most whiplash claims are temporary, minor strains that are settled out of court. If a
settlement cannot be reached, they can be dealt with in Small Claims Court (where the most you can get for all your losses or “damages” is $25,000) or Supreme Court if appropriate. The amount awarded for minor strains is usually under $10,000. Moderate soft tissue injuries, resulting in significant time off work, may be worth more, depending on the medical evidence. A general range is between $15,000 to $35,000 for the pain and suffering portion of the claim. In more severe cases, e.g., where you undergo back surgery as a result of the accident, you should receive more. Whether a whiplash or back injury is mild or moderate depends on how the court classifies it. If your doctor describes your injury as “moderately severe”, that doesn’t mean the court must also classify it as moderate. Also, someone might have a “moderate” injury, yet still suffer a huge loss, like a missed opportunity, which could attract a substantial total award. Very severe, chronic problems attract the highest awards, usually because of the claimant’s inability to work for a long period of time.
Anson v. Karoway is a precedent-setting court judgment for a chronic pain condition arising out of a soft tissue whiplash injury. Lawyer Yan Gertsoyg was associate counsel in this case. Ms. Anson received $1,170,567 in compensation – including $105,000 for “human loss” or pain and suffering; $586,610 for future income loss; $100,222 for past wage loss; $91,750 for live-in assistance; $46,547 for expenses; and court costs. Damage awards vary widely to accommodate individual facts and circumstances. Legal recovery depends upon what you have lost and a full appreciation of the value of that loss. Evaluating the “human loss,” or pain and suffering, depends upon the length and severity of your pain, activity restrictions, the extent of medical treatment, any pre-existing condition, how well you follow medical advice, and whether you do your best to seek recovery. The bottom line is that you’ll generally recover as much of your loss as you can prove. Anyone with a significant loss, whether income, function or enjoyment, should seek legal advice.

NEWS Fraser Surrey Docks
Christopher Poon Now staff Twitter @questionchris
White Rock council officially opposes the coal transfer facility proposed for Fraser Surrey Docks and will request that Port Metro Vancouver cease consideration of the project. The unanimous decision came following a delegation from the Coal Free White Rock (CFWR) citizens group urged council to take a definitive stance on the issue. While the proposed facility has come up several times during council discussions over the past few months, it took encouragement from Hannah Newman on behalf of CFWR to get council to commit one way or another to the proposed facility. “I feel that we need to hear a clear concise statement,” said Newman to council. “More coal trains don’t add to the ambiance of the activities that go down on the waterfront.” If approved, the proposed coal transfer facility at Fraser Surrey Docks would see an increase of 640 trains through White Rock a year for that project alone.
Newman suggested a resolution that the City of White Rock oppose the proposed transfer facility and request that Port Metro Vancouver, the authority over the project, cease consideration of the proposal. Coun. Helen Fathers said she was more than happy to move the motion. “We can all see the coal trains are increasing and when (FSD CEO) Jeff Scott came, I don’t think there was a meaningful public consultation. Otherwise he would have heard loud and strong the community was opposed to it,” said Fathers. Coun. Louise Hutchinson said while White Rock didn’t have authority over the project when it comes to decision-making, she hopes opponents keep pressing Port Metro Vancouver over the issue. “The reason that the (United) States are so good at not having (coal ports) built is because of people power and I’m hoping that the people here know that we’re not the right forum,” she said. “I would hope that every single individual here is going to FSD and Port Metro and voicing opinions there.” cpoon@thenownewspaper.com

Why Canada needs punch in the nose ViewPoint Bob Groeneveld
view more with
I
feel a little like the spoon salesman in Fawlty Towers. “I am not a violent man,” he declares... and then finally loses his carefully cultivated restraint and punches Basil Fawlty in the nose. When I first heard the news, I found myself so outraged that I could not completely contain my anger. I visibly shook, and felt it best to pull over to the side of the road and regain my composure. I am not a violent man... but Canada seriously needs a punch in the nose. I don’t know why the news that the government of Canada had been conducting “nutrition” tests on native children – actually starvation studies – in the 1940s struck me so physically. I’m aware that it’s not the only atrocity perpetrated by my country in the past. I’m aware that Chinese
workers were used, virtually as slave labour, to build a railway across Canada, part of the deal that brought British Columbia into Confederation, and that they died in ridiculous numbers as they pushed the rails through the Rocky Mountains, through the Interior, and up from the coast. And I’m aware of the thanks those dedicated and heroic builders received from this country for their efforts: bars to immigration and citizenship, head taxes, overt prejudice, and virtual anonymity in the history books that told the monumental story of Canada’s railway building... I recall perhaps two lines in the readings assigned to me in school that made cursory reference to “oriental” labourers. I’m aware of the horror story that was the “Komagata Maru incident,” in which a Japanese steamer loaded with 376 prospective immigrants – all subjects of the British Empire – was turned away from Vancouver in 1914 by mobs of bigoted protesters buoyed by the backing of the Canadian government. All but 20 passengers of the Komagata Maru were forced to sail back to India.
It took the Canadian government almost a century to apologize – many decades longer than it took Canadians to apologize for the atrocious internment of Canadian citizens of Japanese descent (many of them secondand third-generation Canadians) during the Second World War... and the subsequent confiscation of their worldly possessions – which were divided among our bureaucrats and their friends like victors’ spoils. I once thought those were the darkest hours in Canada’s history... until I learned how few Jews were allowed entry into Canada during the 1930s, when they were trying to escape
from Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Germany. The great Prime Minister MacKenzie King was staunchly opposed to allowing Jewish refugees to sully Canada’s shores. I don’t know why news of the recently uncovered experimentation on First Nations children affected me so viscerally. Perhaps it’s because they were children. Perhaps it’s because we have all become so aware already of the way in which native peoples were treated through the residential schools that were used to affect the experimentation – families torn apart, their very culture, their very nature assaulted by vultures and sadists conniving under the
guise of charity and “soulsaving” religion. We already know of the sexual and physical abuses. Perhaps it’s because those kids were being abused in the name of science, under auspices of religion and representative government. Perhaps it’s because tens of thousands of young Canadian men were fighting and dying in a war to stop that very stuff in Europe.
Perhaps it’s because it happened just a few miles from where I grew up – a relatively pampered child – near Port Alberni. I knew that school. My bus drove past it on the way to my school – where something like that wouldn’t have been allowed. Bob Groeneveld is editor of the Langley Advance, a sister paper to the Now.

Kind man confirms Surrey is filled with great people Roses to the short bus driver I saw stopping for a lady who was desperately running for the bus with lots of packages. Thumbs up!
send a rose or rotten tomato with A milk can of rotten tomatoes to the person or persons who had the audacity to come into my mother’s yard on her 80th birthday at 4 a.m., unlock the gate, walk up to her front porch and walk off with her treasured, hand-painted milk can. It is a scene of a farm, green and white with a barn and a cow and it has sentimental value. It was a gift from her son. Please return it to the area of 180th and 60th from where you took it. It would mean so much to her. Many roses to Breanna from a grateful senior for her cell and moral support after the alternator on my ‘78 Caddy died. Roses also to the nice tattooed young man who checked under the hood. Get my number from North Bluff Auto – I owe you a beverage! My husband had lost his wallet on the bus. The next day we went to replace his driver’s licence at ICBC. There, I met a friend with her daughter. During the conversation, we found out that Alexandra had found my husband’s wallet and was trying to contact him at work. In appreciation, we would like to send a garden full of roses to the honest young lady for finding and returning the wallet. A train full of red roses to all volunteers of the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway. On July 20, the interurban car 1225 out of Cloverdale could not run due to the movement of freight on the lines. Car 1225 was parked at the station for viewing and speeder rides were given to kids of all ages. The car barn was open to view the restoration of car 1304. The volunteers made this a very educational, enjoyable and interesting day. Thank you. Roses to the young man in the AAA Lawn and Garden vehicle. On July 20, he got out of his truck at the intersection of 24th Avenue and 158th Street to extinguish a smoldering area in the shrubs of the centre median. Thank you for your awareness and averting any further incidence.
Rotten tomatoes to the scumbag thieves who stole the wiring out of our street’s lights, leaving our entire street in darkness. I hope you grab a live wire the next time you’re partaking in such pettiness. A park full of roses to John driving a white car. While walking my dog, a large pit bull came running out of JR Douglas Park. He briefly listened to my command of “stay,” but then relentlessly pursued us. John stopped and asked us if my dog and I wanted a ride. We gladly hopped in to safety. My dog and I thank you for helping us in our distress. Rotten tomatoes to the owner of the pit bull who allowed their dog to run loose in the neighbourhood. Roses to the man I see every morning walking along 188th Street after what seems to be his knee or leg surgery! Awesome to watch you getting stronger every day. Rotten tomatoes to the people who sneak out at night on 126th Street to put their recycling in my bin. Get your own bin from the city! A grocery cart full of roses (colour of your choice) to the Delta Safeway shopper who saw my abandoned handbag and delivered it to staff. I can’t thank you – and the staff – enough!
EDITOR’S NOTE: This was originally sent to us as a submission to Roses and Rotten Tomatoes but we wanted to publish it as a letter to the editor. The Editor, Last night, I went out with my husband and three kids to celebrate my 40th birthday with a quiet family dinner at Boston Pizza on 120th Street. I would like to send roses to the gentleman who sat at the next table to us. This gentleman heard it was my 40th birthday, and paid our full bill. Not only that, but his whole table joined in when my family sang “Happy Birthday,” and then they joined in again when the lovely staff at BP sang to me for a second time. As he was leaving, he had leaned over to shake my husband’s hand, and had said quietly to my husband, “Don’t be in a hurry to leave. Have a great night.” He was trying to discreetly leave this wonderful gift behind without actually telling us. Thankfully, we did happen to receive our bill seconds later and we found out he had paid our not-very-small bill (there were five of us) and we were just in time to call him back to the restaurant as he was about to leave.

He was embarrassed of the attention. He kept saying it was “just good karma,” and that people judge Surrey in a bad way and think that it is not a good place to be. He wanted to show that Surrey is a great place, filled with great people. I always knew Surrey was a great place, ever since we moved to North Delta and began exploring our neighbouring city on our doorstep. He introduced himself to us as “Brown Chris.” He made my daughter giggle as he said, (and I quote) “You have heard of Chris Brown? Well, I am Brown Chris!” He ended up getting hugs from my husband and I and a cheer from our kids. It was his humble demeanour that really got me as he was almost apologetic about his amazing gift. Please join me in sending good karma and a restaurant filled with roses to “Brown Chris” for his kindness, humility, and thoughtfulness! (And of course his singing friends and the staff at BP!) May you be blessed, Chris, with good karma right back at you a thousandfold! Chris is an electrician, and if anyone needs one, he left his number with us, which I will leave with the newspaper. Blessings to you, Chris. Caroline Brennan, North Delta

ield of Dreams almost got it right. If you build it, they will come – but not if you don’t advertise the heck out of it. Promotion is an integral part of making a concert a success, and in the last 10 years, social media has revolutionized how bands and promoters connect with fans – whether they’re just down the street or all over the world. Social media is invaluable to Chelsie Grobins of Where It’s At Entertainment (@WhereItsAtEnt). The local promoter constantly sends out updates on numerous virtual avenues to make fans aware of her shows. “Back when I first started, it was a lot of flyering and getting out,” she said. “Nowadays, it’s a lot of social marketing – Twitter, Facebook, text messaging, BBM, stuff like that. “Once someone sees something online at least two or three times, it kind of sinks in their head. Then they really look into it.” And it’s not just the repetition that makes it so valuable – it’s the reach that these online networks can have. “It’s easier to spread the word. If I upload a poster onto my Facebook, all my friends see it,” said Grobins. “If I tag everyone involved on the poster, all their friends see it. So with a couple clicks, you have thousands of people viewing this poster.” Surrey rap artist Snak the Ripper (@SnakTheRipper) doesn’t just use

Facebook and Twitter to chat with fans or advertise his latest singles – he uses the networks to plot out his next tour. “We pay attention to where our fans are through social media – we use that information to meet people in those towns who do the hip-hop shows,” he said. “It’s pretty useful if you’re an artist and you’re trying to make a name for yourself.” To Kirk Douglas, guitarist and vocalist of alternative three-piece The Crawl (thecrawl. ca), social media can be a great tool to let people know about your music. The band has three of its albums on iTunes and gives out full-song previews of their latest tracks on streaming music host ReverbNation. But in terms of promoting shows, it’s hard to gauge how many people will actually come out. Facebook allows users to set up pages for events and invite their friends, but not everyone who RSVPs is guaranteed to be there. “You could invite 300 people and you’ll be lucky to have 10 people that show up,” said Douglas. Clyde Hill of Magnetized Productions
sees things in a similar light. “A lot of them, you’re getting 15 to 25 per cent of the people who said they’re coming.” However, they did agree that sending digital flyers online is often more effective than putting up posters around town, only for them to be removed or covered over. “I went down there myself and did it,” said Hill. “I did three hours of work putting it on every post. I had a coffee and came back and all my posters were covered. You’re just throwing money away, right?” But North Vancouver rapper Kyprios (@Kyprios12) feels there’s a nostalgia factor with promoting shows through traditional means like postering. “To me, it’s almost more prestige and it feels like a bigger deal if you are seeing advertisements for the show in a newspaper, if you are seeing posters,” he said. “If it’s only on the web, to me, I don’t think that is enough. When there’s a big act coming into Vancouver, you still are getting hit by the flyers, radio, print ads – it’s still generating more than just an online presence.”
There appears to be a difference in the mentality between younger bands and veterans of the music industry with online promotion. While Kyprios and the guys in The Crawl have been around for a while, the teenagers in North Delta’s Within Rust (@WithinRust) are more into using social media, after flyering proved fruitless. “You couldn’t be a gigging band without it,” said drummer Lewis Scott. “You couldn’t promote, you couldn’t sell, you couldn’t get people to listen to demos. “No one wants to buy a CD from you – they want to buy it on iTunes.” Singer Nolen Scott called Facebook a onestop resource that allows him to easily pick who he wants to contact about the band’s upcoming concerts – and to make sure they’re going to show. “It’s nice to have this platform where I can see, ‘Oh, these people said they’re going to attend or they might attend, so I’m going to harass them and get them to buy tickets,’” he said.

here is a sweet smell of success for local theatre offerings. Standing ovations go to Peninsula Production’s Canadian premiere of The Game’s Afoot. PP was able to offer a one week holdover and get mentioned on author Ken Ludwig’s website. Ludwig is a popular and successful playwright with such hits as Moon Over Buffalo and Lend Me a Tenor, which have also been seen locally. But The Game’s Afoot was a Canadian premier. No company in Canada – professional or amateur – had presented this production in Canada before. Now, anyone researching that play will read about the Canadian premier in White Rock, presented by a company not yet “professional.” Give us a shout out. Well done.
the very outdoor Bard and good weather is a must-have. Darcy J. Knopp is this year’s director and the cast is drawn from Langley, Surrey, Chilliwack, Abbotsford and New Westminster. These are truly dedicated artists! “We are delighted, once again, to offer a Shakespearean play that is fast-paced and filled with fun. Admission is even less than it was in Shakespearean times – it’s free – thanks to the support from our generous sponsors,” said producer Diane Gendron. She loves the concept and feels that it is a perfect introduction to Shakespeare for the younger set. “It has been my great pleasure to work with the team of talented, dedicated people who have created this production – all of us are volunteers and we are involved because we want to give something worthwhile back to the community.” You can’t argue with that – so the sun better shine! The audience is invited to bring a blanket, lawn chairs and a
Hooray for Avenue Q, this summer’s Vancouver Arts Club Theatre Company production at the Granville Island Stage. This muppet-laced musical for adults just announced notice of a second hold over! This hit musical was first scheduled to end on Aug. 3. Tickets were just released July 27 for additional performances that will run to Aug. 31. Shows run Monday and Tuesday at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday to Saturday at 8 p.m., and Wednesday and Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Granville Island Stage. Tickets are $29 to $54, inclusive of taxes and fees. Call the Arts Club box office at 604-687-1644 or visit www.artsclub.com. Is it the weather? Can the lovely sunshine affect our theatre attendance? Yes. And that is especially true if your event is outdoors. Like Bard in the Valley. Bard in the Valley is returning to two outdoor venues in Langley in August presenting William Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors. This is the fourth season for
picnic or to pick up a hot dog or hamburger at the Elk’s concession that will be onsite in Douglas Park. “Show dates are Aug. 8 to 10 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 11 at 2 p.m. and Aug. 15 to 17 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 18 at 2 p.m. on the outdoor Spirit Square Stage in Douglas Park in Langley City. The set is then moved to Willoughby Park adjacent to the Langley Events Centre in the Township of Langley for two performances at the International Festival: Saturday, Aug. 24 at 6 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 25 at 1 p.m. And although admission is free, donations are always appreciated. I love attending live theatre events, sun shining or not. You never know what might happen. At the gala opening night of The Game’s Afoot, I ran into Joe Laughlin, one of Canada’s premiere choreographers. Laughlin is the Joe in Joe Ink and he created Move It! The Surrey Arts Centre hosted two weeks of Move It! last year and it is on again
this August. This is a fun, free dance event open to anyone in the community. Led by professional dancers, it’s all about expressing the joy of movement. Right now all the children’s spots are filled, but there is still some room for teens, adults and seniors. Move It! happens Aug. 6 to 16, Monday to Friday. Participants choose either the morning (10 a.m. to noon) or afternoon (1 to 3 p.m.) session. For everyone, the final Friday (Aug. 16) is 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and includes an informal group performance that friends and family can attend. Register by phone at 604-5015566 (press 0) or in person at the Surrey Arts Centre (13750 88th Ave.). Participants are asked to commit to the entire two weeks. Drat. I would love to be there, but business calls and my daytime hours are occupied. So if you do participate in Move It!, would you say hello to Joe for me? Thanks. And may the sun shine on you too. melminty@telus.net

Spirit of Sea Festival to be focused on East Beach Jacob Zinn
We have a lot of drop-in races as well, so if people want to just try out paddleboarding, come on down and try it.
Now contributor Twitter @ jacobzinn
The Spirit of the Sea Festival is set to take over White Rock this Saturday and Sunday, but things will be a little different for this year’s event. For one, the festivities will take place only on East Beach, as part of a new direction for the annual celebration. “We’re experimenting a bit with a new concept for the festival,” said festival director Matt Todd. “When we spread our events out all along that whole beach, it was quite a walk between all the events, so we’ve brought them all close together.” Todd said by condensing the area of the festival, the event should feel more vibrant and exciting than in previous years. The event will also feature a market with a variety of vendors, children’s entertainment, delicious food and other activities. Moving the festival to one side of White Rock isn’t the only big change this year. The sky won’t light up with fireworks this weekend due to their high cost, and instead of holding a large parade with floats, organizers have opted for a people-only parade. “I know a lot of people really love watching cars, but it’s sometimes not as exciting, especially for kids, to watch cars drive by,” said Todd of the parade, noting that this year’s will be more like a conga line. “We’re inviting people to join in and
There are plenty of changes for this year’s Spirit of the Sea Festival, but having fun with the whole family on the beach is still a main theme. This year’s event is at East Beach and has activities on Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 3 and 4. be a part of the parade – we want people to show up in costume or with an instrument, a drum or a guitar, and join in on the procession.” Because of the new format, Marine Drive will be closed to vehicles from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Another change for this year is an increase in water-based activities, said Todd,

including a wakeboard competition at the end of the pier and a paddleboard race on Sunday with an estimated 100 participants. “We have a lot of drop-in races as well, so if people want to just try out paddleboarding, come on down and try it,” he said. In terms of live music, the concert lineup features indie duo The Oh Wells, pop-rock guitarist Joe Given, blues aficionado Jason
Buie and alt rock six-piece Their There. Local post-indie alternative five-piece Tommy Alto returns to the main stage to headline the festival with a 45-minute set on Sunday night comprising new songs off their latest EP, Oceans Carolina, as well as unreleased material. “Last year, we actually played while the sun was setting behind us, so hopefully that happens again,” said lead singer and guitarist Tom Vanderkam. Last year, Todd told the Now he hoped 60,000 people would come out for the 2012 Spirit of the Sea Festival. This year, his expectations are closer to last year’s actual turnout, though he acknowledged that it’s hard to gauge how many people will show. “The attendance is always difficult to estimate after the festival, much less predict it before,” said Todd, adding that he’s expecting about 40,000 people to show if weather is amazing and 20,000 if it isn’t.

B.C. Major Midget Hockey League
U-14 Sting earn soccer gold
Delta’s Alalouf is new Canadians coach
The U-14 Delta Coastal Sting Metro girls’ soccer team took gold in its group at the USA Cup in Blaine, Minnesota recently. The USA Cup is the largest youth soccer tournament in the Western Hemisphere and this year drew over a 1,000 teams from 17 countries, 17 states and six provinces. The Sting went 6-1 through the round robin and playoff portion of the tournament, culminated by a 3-0 win over the Northern Lights Soccer Club from Minnesota in the championship match. The players had to endure 100F temperatures but showed tremendous resolve, dedication and sportsmanship throughout, said coach Kevan Cornes.
Mark Booth Delta Optimist
Phil Alalouf got a little more than he bargained for when he decided it might be time to dip his toes into the coaching waters of the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League. The longtime coach and executive in South Delta had the wheels in motion to step behind the bench for the 2013-14 season as an assistant to Leland Mack. That was until Mack informed him he had accepted a job with the Burnaby Winter Club Academy and was stepping down as head coach of the Greater Vancouver Canadians. Alalouf then
went through the application process with B.C. Hockey and was recently announced as the fourth head coach in franchise history, following Rob Rogers, Matt Erhart and Mack. “One week I’m talking to Leland about potentially working together and the next I’m applying to be head coach,” said Alalouf. “I’m very excited about this opportunity. It’s going to be a lot of hard work and fun too.” What Alalouf has going for him is an understanding of this elite province-wide league from every perspective. He was president of South Delta Minor Hockey when B.C. Hockey gave its reasons for launching the BCMMHL over a decade ago and has coached the age group that feeds talent into the league at the expense of potential success for their own associations. He also has been a parent with his son Nathan having spent the past two seasons with the Canadians in goal.
Phil Alalouf is head coach of the Greater Vancouver Canadians. (Photo: GORD GOBLE) Alalouf will be running conditioning camps as players make final preparations for next month’s four-day tryout camp, which gets underway Aug 8. He must initially sign 12 players and the rest of the roster will be filled out by mid-September when the picture becomes clearer what kids will be back from auditioning for major junior and junior “A” clubs.
The make-up for elite hockey has somewhat changed in the past couple of years with the launching of midget age teams by school hockey academies. Alalouf said this route can be ideal for the 15-year-olds who may not initially crack the major midget level but can benefit from another year of seasoning in these programs rather than play for their home association midget teams. He is also aware it’s important for the Canadians to have a good relationship with the academies to understand what talent is coming through. “Leland did an outstanding job with this program and I have very big shoes to fill,” Alalouf added. “At the same time, I think some people thought these teams had already been predetermined through earlier camps in the spring. I’m trying change that perception and to say the opportunity to make this team is wide open for everyone.”

Alberta Premium Rye Whisky: Premium quality, fair price, good people
P
remium quality: Those words best describe Alberta Premium Rye Whisky, the rich and flavourful whisky made from 100% Canadian-grown rye, distilled and bottled in Calgary. That’s why Alberta Premium has repeatedly won the coveted title Canadian Whisky of the Year in the authoritative Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible. Fair price: That’s what the people who make Alberta Premium Rye Whisky charge. The people at Alberta Distillers could tack a premium price tag on this much-loved whisky — like some pricey ‘image-first’ ryes that aren’t made of 100% rye grain do. But Alberta Distillers didn’t get to be the oldest distillery in Western Canada by overcharging its loyal customers. “We make Alberta Premium Rye Whisky right here in Canada, out of 100% rye that we buy from Canadian farmers,” says Rob Tuer, Alberta Distillers’ Director of Operations. “These farmers and other hard
working Canadians are also our valued customers: they make an honest living and so do we. That’s why Alberta Premium tastes as good as the most costly rye whiskies — with 100% rye, I’d say it tastes better! — but it’s sold at a regular whisky price.” This combination of premium quality and fair price explains why Alberta Premium 100% rye has become the fifth-largest-selling whisky brand in Canada, and the fourthfastest-growing unflavoured whisky in nine litre volume (cases of 12 bottles). It is also one of the few unflavoured Canadian whiskies to grow in sales, while the overall Canadian whisky category is in decline – this is because whisky fans and bartenders love Alberta Premium’s 100% rye composition. Good people: The people who make and sell Alberta Premium care about their customers and the communities they live in. Alberta Distillers believes in the rugged spirit that made this country great, and
nurturing it in the next generation of hard-working Canadians. This is why Alberta Premium Whisky sponsors rodeos across Canada at all levels. “We don’t just wave our flag at the finals, like other companies do to grab the TV cameras’ attention,” Tuer says. “We support aspiring cowgirls and cowboys at local and regional rodeos, where they learn their craft, take their falls and show their determination.” This passion for premium quality, fair price, and good people is what Alberta Premium 100% rye whisky is all about, plus the extra effort that makes it happen. “It takes a lot of work to make whisky from 100% rye,” Tuer says. “The mash is sticky and fussy, and produces less whisky per ton than grains like corn, which is why other so-called ryes are actually made from easy-to-use corn and then finished with rye flavouring. But the results! Nothing tops the smooth, spicy character of 100% rye whisky.”

HOWEVER YOU DEFINE COMMUNITY, WE CALL IT AN EASY WAY TO MEET AND CONNECT WITH YOUR NEIGHBOURS. It’s just one of the many reasons residents love calling Morgan Crossing home. It could be at the chalk art festival on Main Street (see below!), or one of the many other events, like movie nights in the summer or resident parties. How about chatting with fellow dog owners at the Morgan Crossing Dog Park, or meeting during a class or workout at Steve Nash Sports Club. Or just hanging out at the coffee shops and restaurants, at a wine tasting at Everything Wine, or on a bench on Main Street. You’ll see and meet lots of the people who live and work at Morgan Crossing… and maybe even ask out your cute neighbour, Amy. Because loving where you live should be about more than just loving your stunning condo (though we have lots of those too!).

White Rock council officially opposes the coal transfer facility proposed for Fraser Surrey Docks and will request that Port Metro Vancouver cease consideration of the project. The unanimous decision came following a delegation from the Coal Free White Rock (CFWR) citizens group urging council to take a definitive stance on the issue. While the proposed facility has come up several times during council discussions over the past few months, it took encouragement from Hannah Newman on behalf of CFWR to get council to commit one way or another to the proposed facility. “I feel that we need to hear a clear concise statement,” said Newman to council. “More coal trains don’t add to the ambiance of the activities that go down on the waterfront.” If approved, the proposed coal transfer facility at Fraser Surrey Docks would see an increase of 640 trains through White Rock a year for that project alone. Newman was also quick to note that she did not want to be perceived as anti-business though. “I want FSD to survive and flourish,” she said. “I’m just more pro-quality of life and this city than the 25 jobs at Fraser Surrey Docks. It’s difficult to quantify quality of life versus jobs.”

Ellen Norris worked at Megatech, where she committed mega theft. Now, the former Surrey bookkeeper is serving a four-and-a-half year prison term and must repay $2,319,844.87 of the nearly $2.9 million she bilked from her former employer, Megatech Engineering Limited. Megatech is a steel fabricating company that started up in Surrey in 1986 and numbers BC Ferries and several mining companies and pulp mills among its clients. Norris was in charge of the company’s payroll and had signing authority on its chequing accounts between May 2000 and September 2005. She pleaded guilty to theft over $5,000, in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. Justice Robert Crawford noted her motive was “avarice; simple greed,” which drove Megatech and her 35 coworkers “right to the wall.” It was “happenstance,” he noted, that did Norris in when a Workers’ Compensation Board audit found a discrepancy between her T4 income for 2004 and the company’s payroll ledger. Digging deeper, the accountant found Norris had signed 577 company cheques totalling $2,633.537.90 to her benefit. This included $1.2 million in payments to American Express, $371,000 to Diners Club, $48,000 to MasterCard and $532,000 to CIBC Visa. see JUDGE SAYS › page 3

Legal fees up, building permits down Quarterly financial report prompts suggestion of having city’s own legal staff

Midway through 2013, members of the public were afforded a glimpse at how the City of White Rock is faring for the year with the release of its quarterly financial report Monday night. One number that caught the eyes of council members was the city going over budget on legal costs by $40,000, prompting Coun. Helen Fathers to wonder if it might be more costeffective for the city to look at having a legal staff position created. “I know in the past we’ve talked about it being worthwhile to have a legal person on staff,” she said. “I think this is the third year over budget, does this serve as a worthwhile purpose to consider that route?” Mayor Wayne Baldwin did not believe so, saying a legal staff member would be limited in their scope and that it’s more beneficial to the city to go to external firms for its legal needs. “I would say not, based on previous experience,” he said. “A firm... has expertise in a number of areas, whereas an individual would only have limited abilities to a specific area.” When asked why the legal fees were over

2 budget for the year, director of financial information Sandra Kurylo said a breakdown of the city’s legal needs had not yet been completed and the information was not yet available. City manager Dan Bottrill explained it was difficult to budget for legal expenses as there was no way to tell what legal issues the city may be facing over the next 12 months at the start of any given year. Regardless, it was noted that there was money available in reserve funds to cover the extra costs. Additionally, pay parking revenues are expected to meet expectations, with a nonresident decal program up for review later in the spring. Launched last year as a means for additional parking revenue, the project allowed non-residents to apply for and purchase parking
passes for the city. According to numbers at that time, the project had to take in $45,000 to be viable. In 2012, $1,400 was raised from the program, and for 2013, there have been no sales to date. “That program is due for a review,” said Kurylo. “We’re recommending that we come back with a review of that in the fall.” Finally, building permits, another key source of revenue for the city was slightly down for 2013 compared to the same time last year. So far the city has issued 103 building permits for 2013, down from the 122 at the same time in 2012. Despite this, staff are projecting that the city will still bring in the $500,000 in revenue currently expected by year’s end. cpoon@thenownewspaper.com

Judge calls scammer’s spending habits ‘amazing’ ‹ from page 1
“It is admittedly amazing that there are charges of over $3,000 at various dress places,” Crawford said. On one day Norris spent $2,880 at a boutique in Toronto and then spent $5,092 at another women’s clothing store that same day. She’d also spent “amazing amounts” on jewellery, Crawford noted. Norris’s boss confronted her after the
accountant reported his findings. She confessed immediately, and was fired. “The damage to the company which apparently has some 35 employees was considerable and threw it to the edge of bankruptcy,” Crawford noted. “Ms. Norris has evidently not kept anything of value. I am left to wonder what happened to all the incredibly expensive clothing and valuable jewellery.” Norris is 64, and has two adult children. She
separated from her husband in 1991. “The stolen monies appear to be simply spent on herself and presumably spread around her friends and family who would appreciate the largesse. Sometimes there are food bills or restaurant bills of $1,000. It may be that others had some enjoyment but obviously Ms. Norris spent far beyond her $60,000 a year in salary,” Crawford said at sentencing. tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

The campaign ran from April 25 to June 30 and raised a total of $2,125 for the emergency room. “I think it’s important to support the community,” said Harpreet Atwal, owner of Rasoi. “We wanted to give back and Peace Arch Hospital benefits us all.”

WINNING TICKET BOUGHT HERE
Serving Locally
Nathan Ferguson of Surrey is hitting the road, thanks to a lucky ticket his father bought for him. His father bought the ticket at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre in a draw for the Vancouver Opera Porsche Spring Lottery. There were only 5,700 tickets available for the top prize of a 2013 Porsche Boxter or a 2013 Porsche Cheyenne or a cash alternative of $50,000. The lottery was raising funds for the Opera in Schools Program. Nathan’s ticket was the winner and he
chose the cash so he can buy a classic car, travel and also further his education.
BUILDERS BACK VARIETY The B.C. Building Trades Council has raised more than $25,000 for Variety – the Children’s Charity and the Diabetes Research Group at the University of British Columbia at its Charity Golf Tournament at Hazelmere Golf Club in Surrey. “Our members care passionately about these charities,” said Tom Sigurdson, executive director for B.C. Building Trades. “We know these charities depend on stable and predictable funding to operate and that’s why the golf tournament and bucket collection drive have become an important tradition for the Building Trades.” The council represents unionized construction workers across B.C. and Yukon.

Students earn scholarships Two health conscious students are being awarded scholarships by the White Rock Farmers’ Market. The Mary Hartwell Scholarship was set up in honour of the late Mary Hartwell, a market director and passionate supporter of the WRFM Society, its vendors and the community values of good nutrition, organic farming and alternative health. This year’s recipients are Jory Mullard and Peggy (Jacqueline) Nelson, who are coincidentally both students at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition. Mullard starts her second year in September, while Nelson will be entering her first year. Each scholarship is worth $500. The society is honouring both students at 11 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 18 onsite at the market, by the Whaling Wall. This is the second year for the scholarships. Last year’s recipients were Lucy Brain, Samantha Smith and Grace Augustinowicz.

Summer crackdown on roads Surrey RCMP’s first foray into this summer’s “Friday Night Lights” counterattack campaign say police issue 55 tickets in just two hours. Between 8 and 10 p.m. Friday, Mounties manning a road check in the 19000-block of Fraser Highway handed out 28 tickets for “N” driver offences, eight for failure to wear seatbelts, six for vehicle defects, three for distracted driving (cellphones), one for no insurance, one for driving without consideration, and eight for various other offences. They also put three impaired drivers and a prohibited driver off the road. Cpl. Bert Paquet, who was at Friday’s road check, noted that impaired driving continues to be the leading criminal cause of death in Canada. “While the majority of drivers get the message, we will enforce all applicable laws on those who don’t,” Paquet said.

Why Canada needs punch in the nose ViewPoint Bob Groeneveld
view more with
I
feel a little like the spoon salesman in Fawlty Towers. “I am not a violent man,” he declares... and then finally loses his carefully cultivated restraint and punches Basil Fawlty in the nose. When I first heard the news, I found myself so outraged that I could not completely contain my anger. I visibly shook, and felt it best to pull over to the side of the road and regain my composure. I am not a violent man... but Canada seriously needs a punch in the nose. I don’t know why the news that the government of Canada had been conducting “nutrition” tests on native children – actually starvation studies – in the 1940s struck me so physically. I’m aware that it’s not the only atrocity perpetrated by my country in the past. I’m aware that Chinese
workers were used, virtually as slave labour, to build a railway across Canada, part of the deal that brought British Columbia into Confederation, and that they died in ridiculous numbers as they pushed the rails through the Rocky Mountains, through the Interior, and up from the coast. And I’m aware of the thanks those dedicated and heroic builders received from this country for their efforts: bars to immigration and citizenship, head taxes, overt prejudice, and virtual anonymity in the history books that told the monumental story of Canada’s railway building... I recall perhaps two lines in the readings assigned to me in school that made cursory reference to “oriental” labourers. I’m aware of the horror story that was the “Komagata Maru incident,” in which a Japanese steamer loaded with 376 prospective immigrants – all subjects of the British Empire – was turned away from Vancouver in 1914 by mobs of bigoted protesters buoyed by the backing of the Canadian government. All but 20 passengers of the Komagata Maru were forced to sail back to India.
It took the Canadian government almost a century to apologize – many decades longer than it took Canadians to apologize for the atrocious internment of Canadian citizens of Japanese descent (many of them secondand third-generation Canadians) during the Second World War... and the subsequent confiscation of their worldly possessions – which were divided among our bureaucrats and their friends like victors’ spoils. I once thought those were the darkest hours in Canada’s history... until I learned how few Jews were allowed entry into Canada during the 1930s, when they were trying to escape
from Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Germany. The great Prime Minister MacKenzie King was staunchly opposed to allowing Jewish refugees to sully Canada’s shores. I don’t know why news of the recently uncovered experimentation on First Nations children affected me so viscerally. Perhaps it’s because they were children. Perhaps it’s because we have all become so aware already of the way in which native peoples were treated through the residential schools that were used to affect the experimentation – families torn apart, their very culture, their very nature assaulted by vultures and sadists conniving under the
guise of charity and “soulsaving” religion. We already know of the sexual and physical abuses. Perhaps it’s because those kids were being abused in the name of science, under auspices of religion and representative government. Perhaps it’s because tens of thousands of young Canadian men were fighting and dying in a war to stop that very stuff in Europe.
Perhaps it’s because it happened just a few miles from where I grew up – a relatively pampered child – near Port Alberni. I knew that school. My bus drove past it on the way to my school – where something like that wouldn’t have been allowed. Bob Groeneveld is editor of the Langley Advance, a sister paper to the Now.

Kind man confirms Surrey is filled with great people Roses to the short bus driver I saw stopping for a lady who was desperately running for the bus with lots of packages. Thumbs up!
send a rose or rotten tomato with A milk can of rotten tomatoes to the person or persons who had the audacity to come into my mother’s yard on her 80th birthday at 4 a.m., unlock the gate, walk up to her front porch and walk off with her treasured, hand-painted milk can. It is a scene of a farm, green and white with a barn and a cow and it has sentimental value. It was a gift from her son. Please return it to the area of 180th and 60th from where you took it. It would mean so much to her. Many roses to Breanna from a grateful senior for her cell and moral support after the alternator on my ‘78 Caddy died. Roses also to the nice tattooed young man who checked under the hood. Get my number from North Bluff Auto – I owe you a beverage! My husband had lost his wallet on the bus. The next day we went to replace his driver’s licence at ICBC. There, I met a friend with her daughter. During the conversation, we found out that Alexandra had found my husband’s wallet and was trying to contact him at work. In appreciation, we would like to send a garden full of roses to the honest young lady for finding and returning the wallet. A train full of red roses to all volunteers of the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway. On July 20, the interurban car 1225 out of Cloverdale could not run due to the movement of freight on the lines. Car 1225 was parked at the station for viewing and speeder rides were given to kids of all ages. The car barn was open to view the restoration of car 1304. The volunteers made this a very educational, enjoyable and interesting day. Thank you. Roses to the young man in the AAA Lawn and Garden vehicle. On July 20, he got out of his truck at the intersection of 24th Avenue and 158th Street to extinguish a smoldering area in the shrubs of the centre median. Thank you for your awareness and averting any further incidence.
Rotten tomatoes to the scumbag thieves who stole the wiring out of our street’s lights, leaving our entire street in darkness. I hope you grab a live wire the next time you’re partaking in such pettiness. A park full of roses to John driving a white car. While walking my dog, a large pit bull came running out of JR Douglas Park. He briefly listened to my command of “stay,” but then relentlessly pursued us. John stopped and asked us if my dog and I wanted a ride. We gladly hopped in to safety. My dog and I thank you for helping us in our distress. Rotten tomatoes to the owner of the pit bull who allowed their dog to run loose in the neighbourhood. Roses to the man I see every morning walking along 188th Street after what seems to be his knee or leg surgery! Awesome to watch you getting stronger every day. Rotten tomatoes to the people who sneak out at night on 126th Street to put their recycling in my bin. Get your own bin from the city! A grocery cart full of roses (colour of your choice) to the Delta Safeway shopper who saw my abandoned handbag and delivered it to staff. I can’t thank you – and the staff – enough!
EDITOR’S NOTE: This was originally sent to us as a submission to Roses and Rotten Tomatoes but we wanted to publish it as a letter to the editor. The Editor, Last night, I went out with my husband and three kids to celebrate my 40th birthday with a quiet family dinner at Boston Pizza on 120th Street. I would like to send roses to the gentleman who sat at the next table to us. This gentleman heard it was my 40th birthday, and paid our full bill. Not only that, but his whole table joined in when my family sang “Happy Birthday,” and then they joined in again when the lovely staff at BP sang to me for a second time. As he was leaving, he had leaned over to shake my husband’s hand, and had said quietly to my husband, “Don’t be in a hurry to leave. Have a great night.” He was trying to discreetly leave this wonderful gift behind without actually telling us. Thankfully, we did happen to receive our bill seconds later and we found out he had paid our not-very-small bill (there were five of us) and we were just in time to call him back to the restaurant as he was about to leave.

He was embarrassed of the attention. He kept saying it was “just good karma,” and that people judge Surrey in a bad way and think that it is not a good place to be. He wanted to show that Surrey is a great place, filled with great people. I always knew Surrey was a great place, ever since we moved to North Delta and began exploring our neighbouring city on our doorstep. He introduced himself to us as “Brown Chris.” He made my daughter giggle as he said, (and I quote) “You have heard of Chris Brown? Well, I am Brown Chris!” He ended up getting hugs from my husband and I and a cheer from our kids. It was his humble demeanour that really got me as he was almost apologetic about his amazing gift. Please join me in sending good karma and a restaurant filled with roses to “Brown Chris” for his kindness, humility, and thoughtfulness! (And of course his singing friends and the staff at BP!) May you be blessed, Chris, with good karma right back at you a thousandfold! Chris is an electrician, and if anyone needs one, he left his number with us, which I will leave with the newspaper. Blessings to you, Chris. Caroline Brennan, North Delta

ield of Dreams almost got it right. If you build it, they will come – but not if you don’t advertise the heck out of it. Promotion is an integral part of making a concert a success, and in the last 10 years, social media has revolutionized how bands and promoters connect with fans – whether they’re just down the street or all over the world. Social media is invaluable to Chelsie Grobins of Where It’s At Entertainment (@WhereItsAtEnt). The local promoter constantly sends out updates on numerous virtual avenues to make fans aware of her shows. “Back when I first started, it was a lot of flyering and getting out,” she said. “Nowadays, it’s a lot of social marketing – Twitter, Facebook, text messaging, BBM, stuff like that. “Once someone sees something online at least two or three times, it kind of sinks in their head. Then they really look into it.” And it’s not just the repetition that makes it so valuable – it’s the reach that these online networks can have. “It’s easier to spread the word. If I upload a poster onto my Facebook, all my friends see it,” said Grobins. “If I tag everyone involved on the poster, all their friends see it. So with a couple clicks, you have thousands of people viewing this poster.” Surrey rap artist Snak the Ripper (@SnakTheRipper) doesn’t just use

Facebook and Twitter to chat with fans or advertise his latest singles – he uses the networks to plot out his next tour. “We pay attention to where our fans are through social media – we use that information to meet people in those towns who do the hip-hop shows,” he said. “It’s pretty useful if you’re an artist and you’re trying to make a name for yourself.” To Kirk Douglas, guitarist and vocalist of alternative three-piece The Crawl (thecrawl. ca), social media can be a great tool to let people know about your music. The band has three of its albums on iTunes and gives out full-song previews of their latest tracks on streaming music host ReverbNation. But in terms of promoting shows, it’s hard to gauge how many people will actually come out. Facebook allows users to set up pages for events and invite their friends, but not everyone who RSVPs is guaranteed to be there. “You could invite 300 people and you’ll be lucky to have 10 people that show up,” said Douglas. Clyde Hill of Magnetized Productions
sees things in a similar light. “A lot of them, you’re getting 15 to 25 per cent of the people who said they’re coming.” However, they did agree that sending digital flyers online is often more effective than putting up posters around town, only for them to be removed or covered over. “I went down there myself and did it,” said Hill. “I did three hours of work putting it on every post. I had a coffee and came back and all my posters were covered. You’re just throwing money away, right?” But North Vancouver rapper Kyprios (@Kyprios12) feels there’s a nostalgia factor with promoting shows through traditional means like postering. “To me, it’s almost more prestige and it feels like a bigger deal if you are seeing advertisements for the show in a newspaper, if you are seeing posters,” he said. “If it’s only on the web, to me, I don’t think that is enough. When there’s a big act coming into Vancouver, you still are getting hit by the flyers, radio, print ads – it’s still generating more than just an online presence.”
There appears to be a difference in the mentality between younger bands and veterans of the music industry with online promotion. While Kyprios and the guys in The Crawl have been around for a while, the teenagers in North Delta’s Within Rust (@WithinRust) are more into using social media, after flyering proved fruitless. “You couldn’t be a gigging band without it,” said drummer Lewis Scott. “You couldn’t promote, you couldn’t sell, you couldn’t get people to listen to demos. “No one wants to buy a CD from you – they want to buy it on iTunes.” Singer Nolen Scott called Facebook a onestop resource that allows him to easily pick who he wants to contact about the band’s upcoming concerts – and to make sure they’re going to show. “It’s nice to have this platform where I can see, ‘Oh, these people said they’re going to attend or they might attend, so I’m going to harass them and get them to buy tickets,’” he said.

T
here is a sweet smell of success for local theatre offerings. Standing ovations go to Peninsula Production’s Canadian premiere of The Game’s Afoot. PP was able to offer a one week holdover and get mentioned on author Ken Ludwig’s website. Ludwig is a popular and successful playwright with such hits as Moon Over Buffalo and Lend Me a Tenor, which have also been seen locally. But The Game’s Afoot was a Canadian premier. No company in Canada – professional or amateur – had presented this production in Canada before. Now, anyone researching that play will read about the Canadian premier in White Rock, presented by a company not yet “professional.” Give us a shout out. Well done.
the very outdoor Bard and good weather is a must-have. Darcy J. Knopp is this year’s director and the cast is drawn from Langley, Surrey, Chilliwack, Abbotsford and New Westminster. These are truly dedicated artists! “We are delighted, once again, to offer a Shakespearean play that is fast-paced and filled with fun. Admission is even less than it was in Shakespearean times – it’s free – thanks to the support from our generous sponsors,” said producer Diane Gendron. She loves the concept and feels that it is a perfect introduction to Shakespeare for the younger set. “It has been my great pleasure to work with the team of talented, dedicated people who have created this production – all of us are volunteers and we are involved because we want to give something worthwhile back to the community.” You can’t argue with that – so the sun better shine! The audience is invited to bring a blanket, lawn chairs and a
Hooray for Avenue Q, this summer’s Vancouver Arts Club Theatre Company production at the Granville Island Stage. This muppet-laced musical for adults just announced notice of a second hold over! This hit musical was first scheduled to end on Aug. 3. Tickets were just released July 27 for additional performances that will run to Aug. 31. Shows run Monday and Tuesday at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday to Saturday at 8 p.m., and Wednesday and Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Granville Island Stage. Tickets are $29 to $54, inclusive of taxes and fees. Call the Arts Club box office at 604-687-1644 or visit www.artsclub.com. Is it the weather? Can the lovely sunshine affect our theatre attendance? Yes. And that is especially true if your event is outdoors. Like Bard in the Valley. Bard in the Valley is returning to two outdoor venues in Langley in August presenting William Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors. This is the fourth season for
picnic or to pick up a hot dog or hamburger at the Elk’s concession that will be onsite in Douglas Park. “Show dates are Aug. 8 to 10 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 11 at 2 p.m. and Aug. 15 to 17 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 18 at 2 p.m. on the outdoor Spirit Square Stage in Douglas Park in Langley City. The set is then moved to Willoughby Park adjacent to the Langley Events Centre in the Township of Langley for two performances at the International Festival: Saturday, Aug. 24 at 6 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 25 at 1 p.m. And although admission is free, donations are always appreciated. I love attending live theatre events, sun shining or not. You never know what might happen. At the gala opening night of The Game’s Afoot, I ran into Joe Laughlin, one of Canada’s premiere choreographers. Laughlin is the Joe in Joe Ink and he created Move It! The Surrey Arts Centre hosted two weeks of Move It! last year and it is on again
this August. This is a fun, free dance event open to anyone in the community. Led by professional dancers, it’s all about expressing the joy of movement. Right now all the children’s spots are filled, but there is still some room for teens, adults and seniors. Move It! happens Aug. 6 to 16, Monday to Friday. Participants choose either the morning (10 a.m. to noon) or afternoon (1 to 3 p.m.) session. For everyone, the final Friday (Aug. 16) is 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and includes an informal group performance that friends and family can attend. Register by phone at 604-5015566 (press 0) or in person at the Surrey Arts Centre (13750 88th Ave.). Participants are asked to commit to the entire two weeks. Drat. I would love to be there, but business calls and my daytime hours are occupied. So if you do participate in Move It!, would you say hello to Joe for me? Thanks. And may the sun shine on you too. melminty@telus.net

Spirit of Sea Festival to be focused on East Beach Jacob Zinn

Now contributor Twitter @ jacobzinn
The Spirit of the Sea Festival is set to take over White Rock this Saturday and Sunday, but things will be a little different for this year’s event. For one, the festivities will take place only on East Beach, as part of a new direction for the annual celebration. “We’re experimenting a bit with a new concept for the festival,” said festival director Matt Todd. “When we spread our events out all along that whole beach, it was quite a walk between all the events, so we’ve brought them all close together.” Todd said by condensing the area of the festival, the event should feel more vibrant and exciting than in previous years. The event will also feature a market with a variety of vendors, children’s entertainment, delicious food and other activities. Moving the festival to one side of White Rock isn’t the only big change this year. The sky won’t light up with fireworks this weekend due to their high cost, and instead of holding a large parade with floats, organizers have opted for a people-only parade. “I know a lot of people really love watching cars, but it’s sometimes not as exciting, especially for kids, to watch cars drive by,” said Todd of the parade, noting that this year’s will be more like a conga line. “We’re inviting people to join in and
There are plenty of changes for this year’s Spirit of the Sea Festival, but having fun with the whole family on the beach is still a main theme. This year’s event is at East Beach and has activities on Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 3 and 4. be a part of the parade – we want people to show up in costume or with an instrument, a drum or a guitar, and join in on the procession.” Because of the new format, Marine Drive will be closed to vehicles from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Another change for this year is an increase in water-based activities, said Todd,

including a wakeboard competition at the end of the pier and a paddleboard race on Sunday with an estimated 100 participants. “We have a lot of drop-in races as well, so if people want to just try out paddleboarding, come on down and try it,” he said. In terms of live music, the concert lineup features indie duo The Oh Wells, pop-rock guitarist Joe Given, blues aficionado Jason
Buie and alt rock six-piece Their There. Local post-indie alternative five-piece Tommy Alto returns to the main stage to headline the festival with a 45-minute set on Sunday night comprising new songs off their latest EP, Oceans Carolina, as well as unreleased material. “Last year, we actually played while the sun was setting behind us, so hopefully that happens again,” said lead singer and guitarist Tom Vanderkam. Last year, Todd told the Now he hoped 60,000 people would come out for the 2012 Spirit of the Sea Festival. This year, his expectations are closer to last year’s actual turnout, though he acknowledged that it’s hard to gauge how many people will show. “The attendance is always difficult to estimate after the festival, much less predict it before,” said Todd, adding that he’s expecting about 40,000 people to show if weather is amazing and 20,000 if it isn’t.

B.C. Major Midget Hockey League
U-14 Sting earn soccer gold
Delta’s Alalouf is new Canadians coach
The U-14 Delta Coastal Sting Metro girls’ soccer team took gold in its group at the USA Cup in Blaine, Minnesota recently. The USA Cup is the largest youth soccer tournament in the Western Hemisphere and this year drew over a 1,000 teams from 17 countries, 17 states and six provinces. The Sting went 6-1 through the round robin and playoff portion of the tournament, culminated by a 3-0 win over the Northern Lights Soccer Club from Minnesota in the championship match. The players had to endure 100F temperatures but showed tremendous resolve, dedication and sportsmanship throughout, said coach Kevan Cornes.
Mark Booth Delta Optimist
Phil Alalouf got a little more than he bargained for when he decided it might be time to dip his toes into the coaching waters of the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League. The longtime coach and executive in South Delta had the wheels in motion to step behind the bench for the 2013-14 season as an assistant to Leland Mack. That was until Mack informed him he had accepted a job with the Burnaby Winter Club Academy and was stepping down as head coach of the Greater Vancouver Canadians. Alalouf then
went through the application process with B.C. Hockey and was recently announced as the fourth head coach in franchise history, following Rob Rogers, Matt Erhart and Mack. “One week I’m talking to Leland about potentially working together and the next I’m applying to be head coach,” said Alalouf. “I’m very excited about this opportunity. It’s going to be a lot of hard work and fun too.” What Alalouf has going for him is an understanding of this elite province-wide league from every perspective. He was president of South Delta Minor Hockey when B.C. Hockey gave its reasons for launching the BCMMHL over a decade ago and has coached the age group that feeds talent into the league at the expense of potential success for their own associations. He also has been a parent with his son Nathan having spent the past two seasons with the Canadians in goal.
Phil Alalouf is head coach of the Greater Vancouver Canadians. (Photo: GORD GOBLE) Alalouf will be running conditioning camps as players make final preparations for next month’s four-day tryout camp, which gets underway Aug 8. He must initially sign 12 players and the rest of the roster will be filled out by mid-September when the picture becomes clearer what kids will be back from auditioning for major junior and junior “A” clubs.
The make-up for elite hockey has somewhat changed in the past couple of years with the launching of midget age teams by school hockey academies. Alalouf said this route can be ideal for the 15-year-olds who may not initially crack the major midget level but can benefit from another year of seasoning in these programs rather than play for their home association midget teams. He is also aware it’s important for the Canadians to have a good relationship with the academies to understand what talent is coming through. “Leland did an outstanding job with this program and I have very big shoes to fill,” Alalouf added. “At the same time, I think some people thought these teams had already been predetermined through earlier camps in the spring. I’m trying change that perception and to say the opportunity to make this team is wide open for everyone.”

Alberta Premium Rye Whisky: Premium quality, fair price, good people
P
remium quality: Those words best describe Alberta Premium Rye Whisky, the rich and flavourful whisky made from 100% Canadian-grown rye, distilled and bottled in Calgary. That’s why Alberta Premium has repeatedly won the coveted title Canadian Whisky of the Year in the authoritative Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible. Fair price: That’s what the people who make Alberta Premium Rye Whisky charge. The people at Alberta Distillers could tack a premium price tag on this much-loved whisky — like some pricey ‘image-first’ ryes that aren’t made of 100% rye grain do. But Alberta Distillers didn’t get to be the oldest distillery in Western Canada by overcharging its loyal customers. “We make Alberta Premium Rye Whisky right here in Canada, out of 100% rye that we buy from Canadian farmers,” says Rob Tuer, Alberta Distillers’ Director of Operations. “These farmers and other hard
working Canadians are also our valued customers: they make an honest living and so do we. That’s why Alberta Premium tastes as good as the most costly rye whiskies — with 100% rye, I’d say it tastes better! — but it’s sold at a regular whisky price.” This combination of premium quality and fair price explains why Alberta Premium 100% rye has become the fifth-largest-selling whisky brand in Canada, and the fourthfastest-growing unflavoured whisky in nine litre volume (cases of 12 bottles). It is also one of the few unflavoured Canadian whiskies to grow in sales, while the overall Canadian whisky category is in decline – this is because whisky fans and bartenders love Alberta Premium’s 100% rye composition. Good people: The people who make and sell Alberta Premium care about their customers and the communities they live in. Alberta Distillers believes in the rugged spirit that made this country great, and
nurturing it in the next generation of hard-working Canadians. This is why Alberta Premium Whisky sponsors rodeos across Canada at all levels. “We don’t just wave our flag at the finals, like other companies do to grab the TV cameras’ attention,” Tuer says. “We support aspiring cowgirls and cowboys at local and regional rodeos, where they learn their craft, take their falls and show their determination.” This passion for premium quality, fair price, and good people is what Alberta Premium 100% rye whisky is all about, plus the extra effort that makes it happen. “It takes a lot of work to make whisky from 100% rye,” Tuer says. “The mash is sticky and fussy, and produces less whisky per ton than grains like corn, which is why other so-called ryes are actually made from easy-to-use corn and then finished with rye flavouring. But the results! Nothing tops the smooth, spicy character of 100% rye whisky.”

[defined by]: the desire to live in a place animated by people rather than things
HOWEVER YOU DEFINE COMMUNITY, WE CALL IT AN EASY WAY TO MEET AND CONNECT WITH YOUR NEIGHBOURS. It’s just one of the many reasons residents love calling Morgan Crossing home. It could be at the chalk art festival on Main Street (see below!), or one of the many other events, like movie nights in the summer or resident parties. How about chatting with fellow dog owners at the Morgan Crossing Dog Park, or meeting during a class or workout at Steve Nash Sports Club. Or just hanging out at the coffee shops and restaurants, at a wine tasting at Everything Wine, or on a bench on Main Street. You’ll see and meet lots of the people who live and work at Morgan Crossing… and maybe even ask out your cute neighbour, Amy. Because loving where you live should be about more than just loving your stunning condo (though we have lots of those too!).
