Erin’s angels

Power washing crew raising money to help care for Surrey woman with rare illness USE LAYAR TO BOOK APPOINTMENT

Erin Kreiter, 28, has Myastheniagravis and requires 24-hour care.

SURREY — Surrey provincial court has found a way of taking something bad and making it good. Our story begins with John Gould, a retired Surrey RCMP homicide detective who now runs a power washing business. Five years ago, Gould was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer and doctors told he had about three years. But thanks to a young man from Germany, who donated some bone marrow to Gould, the former cop is in full remission. “Life is very short and precious, and I don’t take it for granted,” Gould said. “I’m paying it forward. This guy from Germany gave me the gift of life.” Part of his paying-forward process is raising money, through his powerwashing business, to help take care of Erin Kreiter, 28, as she fights a debilitating rare illness herself. Erin, the daughter of Gould’s longtime RCMP buddy Sgt. Tim Kreiter, was studying at university to be a cancer researcher when she was stricken with Myastheniagravis, leaving her quadriplegic and requiring 24-hour care. So, every weekend, Gould and a bunch of police officers volunteer their time to do power washing work – cleaning driveways, sidewalks etc. – with all proceeds being donated to Erin’s care. “It’s overwhelming, the response we’ve gotten from the public,” Gould said. Here’s where the court comes in. Not

long ago, Gould’s shop was broken into and as they say, once a cop, always a cop. Noticing a spot of blood on a doorknob, at the scene of the crime, he alerted the forensic examiners to it, and a DNA sample was taken, leading to the arrest of Christopher Dwaine Frost. Frost was up for sentencing in Surrey on Tuesday, so Gould asked the court if he could press him into serving on his volunteer power washing crew to help out Erin. Judge Peder Gulbrandsen agreed, and released Frost on bail until a date in June to participate in the cause. His defence lawyer, Kelly Johnston, called it “creative.” Crown prosecutor Brian Shaw said, “I think it’s good. It may be very good for both parties.” Gould said Frost will spend his weekends power washing with off-duty cops, working side-by-side with Gould himself. Erin, meanwhile, is overwhelmed by Gould’s efforts. “It’s amazing, really,” she said. “Mr. Gould is an amazing, amazing man. He’s been completely selfless.” The money he’s been raising is helping the Kreiters to pay for renovations to their home, so Erin can get around in her wheelchair. “That has been a large cost,” she said. Gould has jobs lined up for the next three weekends. His business, Dominion Power Washing Inc., is supplying the trucks, equipment, chemicals, fuel and manpower with all proceeds going to the Erin Kreiter Trust Fund.

Man, kids hit with pepper spray in road rage incident Police say an occupant of Range Rover used spray after a dad yelled at speeding SUV to slow down on 125th Street Amy Reid

Now staff Twitter @amyreid87

NEWTON — A father and nearby children were pepper sprayed in Newton on Tuesday in what appears to have been a road rage incident. Police say the father, 42, along with his girlfriend and two-year-old son were going

to a park in the 7700-block of 125th Street around 8 p.m. when a dark Range Rover drove by, speeding excessively. The father is said to have yelled at the car to slow down when the car stopped and they exchanged words. Police say the car then left, but returned a few minutes later. The father is then said to have approached

the vehicle and was subsequently pepper sprayed by one of the people inside, police say. The carryover from the pepper spray affected the man’s two-year-old son and other children in the area, police say. Surrey RCMP are now looking for the suspects, who are described as South Asian, possibly in their late teens.

Witnesses told police one male had a small turban, and another had facial hair and wore glasses. The Range Rover may have after-market rims, and police say they’ve received calls about the vehicle in the past. No one was hospitalized, but some were treated on scene. areid@thenownewspaper.com

Briefly

Five arrested after shots fired NEWTON — Five males have been arrested in connection to gunfire in Newton Tuesday night. Around 10:30 p.m., police received reports of shots fired in the 7500-block of 144th Street. The shots targeted an unoccupied 2012 Chrysler 300, police say, causing damage to the vehicle. Surrey RCMP pursed a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe that was seen fleeing the scene, but lost contact with the vehicle. A 2013 Volkswagen Jetta was then pursued, and stopped near 84th Avenue and 152nd Street, and five males in their late teens and early 20s were arrested in connection to the incident. No one was hurt.

NEWTON — Police are looking for a man who stabbed a dog multiple times in Surrey on Monday night. Surrey RCMP said the attack happened at about 7:30 p.m., after the suspect leapt a fence and trespassed into a nursery yard surrounded by fences and gates, in the 12700block of 58th Avenue. The stabber is white, in his mid-20s, is medium built and has dark hair. He was wearing a blue-checkered plaid shirt and jeans, and carried a pocketknife. The dog, a Belgian Shepherd, sustained numerous slash, stab and puncture wounds and was taken to a veterinarian for surgery. Police ask anyone with information to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

Double the buses, add rapid transit in South Fraser: report Amy Reid

Now staff Twitter @amyreid87

SURREY — The South Fraser region needs 100 per cent more bus service and 26 more kilometres of rail rapid transit to be at par with the north, says a document Surrey council is

forwarding to the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation Plan Subcommittee. Meetings have taken place between the mayors of Surrey, Delta, Langley, Langley Township and White Rock, which has resulted in the document, titled “South of the Fraser:

LRT & Transit Investment Needs.” The advocation comes as the subcommittee is developing a 10-year investment strategy proposal for transportation improvements to be brought forward to the province’s proposed funding referendum.

The province has set a deadline of June 30 for the mayors’ council to propose an investment plan and funding strategy in order for the referendum to occur by June 30, 2015. Otherwise, the province will set the date to the following municipal election in 2018. The report sent to the

subcommittee states the length of the total frequent transit network north of the Fraser is 276 kilometres, while there is only 77 kilometres south of the river, adding 17 per cent of the population south of the Fraser doesn’t have any transit service at all. When it comes to rail rapid transit, only six kilometres and four stations come into the south region, which is 2,358 square kilometres in size, while there is 68 kilometres along 49 stations in the north – a region of 558 square kilometres – the document states. The report then argues the south region needs 100 per cent more bus service and 26 kilometres of rail rapid transit to catch up to the north. In addition to sending this report, Surrey has been demonstrating to the subcommittee the need for more transit in the area, particularly the importance of early delivery of LRT on King George Boulevard, 104th Avenue and Fraser Highway. Surrey Coun. Tom Gill, chair of the city’s transportation and infrastructure committee,

Now that the mayor’s council is looking at a 10-year strategy, Gill hopes there can be more openness to endorse projects on the south side of the river. “It gives the opportunity to deal with everything as opposed to trying to prioritize,” he said. areid@thenownewspaper.com

FreSH St. FarmS SupportS LocaL A Growing Movement

Support local first. It’s the motto and ultimately the mission of Fresh St. Farms in Surrey’s Fleetwood Village, a smaller, more intimate market format than Fresh St. Market in West Vancouver, the innovative and flagship grocer, and the newest concept in urban fresh supermarkets. More than ever, there is a growing consciousness among shoppers and passionate foodies alike to have access to the freshest, most nutritious locally grown food the region has to offer. Since December 2013, the 18,000 square-foot Fresh St. Farms has achieved this and more, by recreating the fun and value of a weekly farmers’ market with concepts of growth and sustainability, and an anchor to the community. “We go to lengths like no one else to support local vendors,” says Dave Sherwood, Director Fresh Program and Merchandising, Fresh St Farms “We source first from BC, then Canada and the U.S., and then world-wide; the majority of our products in the fresh departments are all local, and if not, there is a reason and a story behind them.” Their cheesecake, for example, voted best in Vancouver by The Georgia Straight, arrives weekly from New York’s landmark Carnegie Deli, and considered the best in the world. It’s all about the fine details when sourcing for the best products (whether near or far) that make the difference. Healthy, yet convenient eating is at the forefront of the shopping experience once you step inside. “The average retailer stocks 55 per cent grocery and 45 per cent fresh; however, our ratio is 72 per cent

fresh and 28 per cent grocery,” reveals Sherwood. Fresh St. Farms reconnects people to fresh food that respects your body and the planet through the local butcher, baker, farmer, and fishmonger. “We provide an intimate experience for the food shopper all under one roof for local, fresh, natural, organic, healthy, and/ or gluten-free,” says Chris Phillipson, store leader. “Our focus on local products includes deli meats from Lepp Farm Market in Abbotsford, hormone-free pork and chicken from the Fraser Valley, fresh lamb from Canadian farmers, beef from BC and Alberta ranges, and BC cheeses from the Okanagan (Armstrong) and Vancouver Island (Comox), just to name a few. Plus, we’re moving into the high point of the growing season for regional produce. By shopping locally whenever possible, we cut down on our carbon footprint with our product delivery.” In addition, Fresh St. Farms specializes in a distinctive variety of standout offerings: Signature Series AAA Angus Beef, grain fed Alberta beef; the Saanich Peninsula’s Fresh Cup Roastery Café, the ultimate in freshness and flavour and on-site organic coffee roasting with near-zero emissions technology; Pizza program with 22 types of fresh toppings, including cheese from Saputo in Vancouver, and fresh dough delivered daily from a Cloverdale bakery; Deli department with a fresh grill and ready-to-eat meals (think fresh beef burgers and paninis with housemade pesto); Bakery with signature baked breads, gluten-free loaves, gourmet cakes, and lip-smacking sugar-fixes.

A sizable Ocean Wise program for sustainable options is an enticing draw (Fresh St. also carries non Ocean Wise products, however, nothing from redrated fisheries, endangered species or controlled lists. Ocean Wise protects the limits and the catches, and arms shoppers with information so they can make fully informed, responsible choices about their seafood). The Fresh St. experience is simplistic in its approach and philosophy: covet employees passionate for customer service and passionate for life, provide a fantastic food offering at great food value, connect with people, support the local economy and be part of a community where neighbours can come together, share recipes, engage in gourmet and local food tastings, be inspired by new culinary trends, and learn about local agriculture. “Customers come from all over — from Surrey and Abbotsford to Chilliwack just because they love that community, market feel,” says Phillipson. “They want a healthier, natural way to shop without driving to Vancouver; now they can get that freshness and quality closer to home.” By Tracey Rayson

SURREY — A Cloverdale family that was terrorized by a trio of teenaged thugs is flummoxed by what the father characterized as an appalling lack of police response to their crisis. Bill, who asked that his last name not be published for fear of reprisal, said the Surrey RCMP has yet to take statements from him concerning a frightening incident that unfolded behind Cloverdale Traditional School on Friday, April 18, where a teenaged boy held a knife to his brother-in-law’s throat. Bill said he and his wife, joined by the in-laws, were playing with their children aged five and six behind the school when they saw the thugs harrying an elderly man, who’d asked them to stop cursing, across the field. “They were about to assault an older man and me and my brother-in-law stepped in to help him,” Bill, 43, said. The three thugs, he said, were “maybe 15 years old.” It was about 7:30 p.m. Bill said one of the boys pulled out a six-inch-long buck knife and held it to his 28-year-old brother-in-law’s throat. “It was so scary,” he said. “These kids weren’t afraid of anything.” Bill said the boy held the knife to his brother-in-law’s throat for about 20 seconds, “telling him they were going to kill him. This grim standoff drew on while Bill called 911, telling the thugs the police were on their way. Finally the three relented and left, yelling “C-N-G,” presumably some kind of gangster

slogan. “They kept yelling ‘We’re going to kill you,’” Bill said. He said he saw a patrol car and tried waving it down, but it went in the opposite direction. “I ran around the entire school trying to flag them down.” He said the delinquents were tall, white, and one of them wore bright red track pants and a black hoodie. Bill said his family went home, fearing the teens might come back. He said he brought the children into the house then called the Surrey RCMP’s nonemergency line. Fifty minutes later, he said, a police car came to their home. Bill said he told the officer the incident happened at the school about an hour earlier, and that nobody was hurt. He said the cop replied, “OK, I’m out of here. Cool beans.” “That was the last I saw of them.” Since then, Bill said, he’s gone “blue in the face” calling police “over and over,” trying to get them to take a witness statement. “It’s been almost two weeks now. I hope these kids don’t kill someone’s child,” he said. The Surrey RCMP has provided the Now with a written response on the matter: “Our officers did patrol the area immediately following the call received, however, were unable to locate the suspects at that time. We did speak to the complainant a second time that evening as well, as we were told he wanted an update on the case,” the statement reads. “We have forwarded the concerns of the complainant to our Operations Officer, for his review and direction.” The Surrey RCMP receives more than 286,000 non-emergency and 911 calls every year. Meanwhile, Bill said his brother-in-law has reached his own conclusions, telling him, after the dust settled, “This is exactly why I don’t help people.”

Watts’ traffic crash case ‘resolved,’ her lawyer says Tom Zytaruk

Now staff Twitter @tomzytaruk

SURREY — If you’ve been waiting to hear the details of a controversial 2010 traffic crash involving Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts get hashed out in court, don’t hold your breath. There won’t be a trial. “It’s gone,” said Watts’ lawyer, Scott B. Stewart, refusing to reveal why, citing confidentiality issues. “It’s a general condition of civil litigation.” Shawnene Marie Redekopp filed her civil claim in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver, in December 2010, naming Dianne Lynn Watts, Brian Lavern Watts and Envision Leasing Ltd as the defendants. The litigation had to do with a traffic crash in South Surrey on April 23, 2010, in which both the mayor and Redekopp were injured. Both parties claimed the other was to blame. According to Vancouver’s B.C. Supreme Court registry, the case was adjourned last year, twice this year, and then set for a seven-day trial for Feb. 2 2015, but that has

also been cancelled. The mayor would most certainly have been called on to testify. Redekopp could not be reached for comment. “It’s been resolved,” her lawyer, Christopher R. Bacon, noted of her civil claim. But as for the details, Bacon told the Now, “We’re not entitled to say.” Watts said Redekopp launched her civil action after the Insurance Corporation of B.C. “ruled in favour of myself.” “That’s her claim with ICBC,” Watts said. “There’s nothing to comment on. It has nothing to do with me settling with them,” she said of Redekopp’s court case being stopped. The late-night crash happened at the intersection of 24th Avenue and 128th Street in Surrey. Watts, who had been driving, suffered a cracked rib and she and her husband Brian, who was in the passenger seat, both sustained soft tissue injuries. Redekopp suffered a fractured clavicle and ribs and injuries to her head, neck, back, abdomen, lungs, knee, spleen and pancreas. tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

Surrey First

Watts’ successes are costly ViewFrom TheCheap Seats Michael Booth

FOLLOW MICHAEL ON TWITTER

ianne Watts ended months of speculation Saturday by announcing she would not be seeking a fourth term as Surrey’s mayor. Fittingly, Watts made the announcement during the Party for the Planet festival staged at the new Surrey City Hall – an event and a structure that both came into existence under her watch. Watts’ legacy is impressive as she left her mark – both for good and for otherwise – across the city. Her impact is most noteworthy in Whalley – sorry, City Centre – where a longtime eyesore of an area has been spiffed up with new buildings and roadwork. Millions of dollars have been spent to make the neighbourhood attractive to both residents

and business interests including a sparkly bauble of a library, an impressive new recreation centre and the aforementioned new Surrey City Hall complex. Nearby Holland Park has been spruced up and is a popular site for outdoor concerts and festivals, while artwork dots the SkyTrain pillars and green spaces adding to the fresh and creative ambiance of the area. Watts and her Surrey First team kept a lid on property tax hikes, giving the city the lowest rates in the region. This in turn powered Surrey’s pace of rapid growth with condo and housing construction sites popping up all over the city. Even as the rest of economy reeled from the financial crunch of 2008, Surrey’s population continued to swell with more than 1,200 people moving to the city every month. Watts was a tireless promoter and defender of Surrey. During her nine years in the mayor’s chair, public festivals such as the 2010 Olympic festivities, Party for the Planet, Fusion Fest, and the short-lived Surrey International World Music Marathon made Surrey a destination for

both residents and others who live in the Lower Mainland. The annual Canada Day celebrations in Cloverdale have grown into one of the largest in the province, filled with live music and the proverbial fun for the whole family. A series of economic summits featuring famous keynote speakers from around the world also drew attention to Surrey, both with the star appeal they generated and the inevitable protesters who turned up for the events. Watts was all about getting things done and when something stained her vision for the city, it wasn’t long before corrective measures were taken. Dead bodies turning up along a remote stretch of Colebrook Road? Spend $80,000 on more lighting and closed circuit cameras of the dump site. A new record for murders in Surrey? A task force was

put together to address the problem. A hockey mom is murdered outside of Newton Arena? Within a week, the parking lots outside ice rinks across the city sported improved lighting while the Newton Arena lot was patrolled by extra security guards. Action is nice when required, but some things need longer term planning and thought to pull off, and such considerations weren’t always heeded in the Watts era. The gentrification of Whalley World looks pretty, but more care was needed in accounting for the people who already called the neighbourhood home. The area surrounding the pretty new buildings is scattered with aging apartment blocks, many filled with low-income residents, not to mention the homeless people who dwell in the area’s parks and alleys.

The new upscale vision of the area does not account for these people, or the social services located nearby that cater to their needs. To a large degree, Whalley’s problems have been solved by strewing City Centre’s dirty laundry throughout Guildford and Newton. The changing landscape is forcing services such as the Surrey Food Bank to seek new locations where they can more effectively help their clients. Surrey First’s love of development at all costs is creating a city with curb appeal, but is structurally unsound. Monster homes continue their unimpeded march across the suburban landscape, bringing with them increased demand on infrastructure and city services. The lower tax rate is nice for property owners, but it is also irresponsible given the massive growth rate of Surrey’s population. Lower

taxes mean lower revenues for a city that struggles to keep up with the roads, sewers, lighting, schools, garbage removal, parks and other city services needed to accommodate such growth. East Clayton and Grandview Heights have become massive construction sites in the past decade and already the cracks are showing. Schools are filled to capacity, streets are clogged with parked cars, and in Clayton especially, there is a dearth of the recreation centres, parks and other amenities that make a city livable. Watts has done a lot of good for Surrey during her three terms leading the city, but the next mayor – and most likely several beyond that – will have their hands full coping with the costs of Surrey First’s success.

Watts’ dictatorship finally over The Editor, Re: “End of an era,” the Now, April 29. I wish to thank Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts for her service and distinction of being the most autocratic mayor Surrey has ever had. Specifically, I wish to: ❚ Thank Watts for not hiring enough police to ensure that Surrey has amongst the lowest number of police per capita of any city in Canada, consequently giving Surrey a record high murder rate. ❚ Thank Watts for withholding crime reports and statistics from the public so we can all feel safer. ❚ Thank Watts for spending taxpayer money on the Surrey Regional Economic Summit so she can feel important when she rubs shoulders with former disgraced politicians instead of fixing our broken roads, building community centres or hiring more police. ❚ Thank Watts for putting her own political ambition ahead of the residents of Surrey by not advocating for new schools, but instead making Surrey the first district in the history of B.C. to pay millions of dollars for construction of schools, instead of the province. ❚ Thank Watts for rubber stamping development applications and ignoring those pesky long-term residents. ❚ Thank Watts for helping remove the “undesirables” out of Whalley and into Newton and Guildford, in order to help her poor developer friends sell their empty highrises. ❚ Thank Watts for ostracizing and removing the Surrey First dissenter Coun. Barinder Rasode as chair of the police committee. Rasode foolishly stepped out of line by listening and advocating for us residents. Thank you again, Your Worship, for ruling Surrey under your one-party dictatorship. Sandip Sandhu, Surrey

Story was inspiring

Where is coal outcry?

The Editor, Re: “Hand device helps girl go for it,” the Now, April 10. On behalf of The War Amps, I would like to thank you for the recent article “Hand device helps girl go for it” (April 10) featuring Arianna Hunsicker, a member of our Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program. Through CHAMP, which was established in 1975, young amputees like Arianna learn that there are no limits to what they can do and adopt the “Winner’s Circle” philosophy of overcoming obstacles despite their amputation. Our many programs and services for amputees are funded solely through public support of The War Amps Key Tag and Address Label Service. Your coverage will go a long way in helping to spread the word.

The Editor, Get rid of the Tunnel. Dredge the Fraser even deeper. Approve the coal dock expansion at Fraser Surrey Docks for shipment of U.S. thermal coal to China. Extend the Kinder Morgan pipeline SouthWest to FSD. The result – large coalcarrying ships and oil tankers using the Fraser. Undoubtedly this is why members of the Surrey Board of Trade and FSD travelled to Ottawa recently to plead their case for federal support for all of the above. Why is there no public outcry about this? Could it be that people are not aware of what is planned or are they too complacent? Obviously people in Ottawa have no concern in protecting our environment here on the West Coast.

EMAIL YOUR ROSES AND TOMATOES

rotten tomatoes and good riddance to Dianne Watts. Her uncontrolled growth in Surrey is coming to an end. Her lax bylaw enforcement on illegal suites speaks for itself. She has broke the bank in Surrey and time to get out before it all hits the fan. Watts can’t leave fast enough for me. rotten tomatoes to the Ministry of Transportation for not designing a better access to the Vancouver/Delta landfill. Completely inaccessible from the new multi-million dollar South Fraser Perimeter Road. a lovely bouquet of roses to the kind gentleman who found my phone in White Rock and dropped it off at the Telus kiosk. It is wonderful to know there are still honest people out there! Thank you! roses to the rub for having basketball on weekends until

June at Frank Hurt Secondary for girls and boys who love the game – all the children I talk to are very excited to be a part of this. I signed my grandson up for a birthday gift. rotten tomatoes to Langley Home Depot for taking down lost dog posters. Another huge truckload for Langley Costco for not allowing a family who is desperately searching for their dog to put posters up at their store. Same goes for Langley Army and Navy. Shame on all of you! You are all heartless. rotten tomatoes to the person who stole our four large green window boxes from Kensington Prairie Community Centre. They were colourfully planted up with primulas and ivy for our pre-schoolers and families to enjoy. Not a nice gesture. rotten tomatoes to BCTF. The union is a joke. I think teachers won’t go on strike because they don’t want to lose money – and they also know they will be legislated back to work. They say they are doing this for the kids and they go and take

away their recess. They are just showing how useless they are as a union. roses to all the wonderful people in my community for being kind, patient, understanding and generally awesome! You all inspire me to be a better person. a big bunch of roses to the PAC at Prince Charles Elementary school for all the hard work it continually does throughout the year to support our school and children. Your efforts do not go unnoticed. Many thanks! rotten tomatoes to my neighbour for maliciously vandalizing my property, flooding my yard all the time – and for all the pot smoke we have to smell every day and night. And, of course, for turning on us after being good friends for five years – over some wood that was put where it used to be seven months ago so you didn’t have to walk over it or hurt yourself while coming in my yard to use my pool or for a barbecue. It’s been eight months – get a life and stay out of ours.

ECCW event in Cloverdale

Surrey wrestler pins down his dream job Sean Neligan has become a ‘heel’ in the ring 22 years after he first grew to love pro wrestling at Cloverdale Fairgrounds Kristi Alexandra

Now contributor Twitter @kristialexandra

ean Neligan was five years old when his dad took him to his first wrestling show at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds in 1992. Since he could remember, he’d wanted to be a professional wrestler — and watching legendary wrestler Michelle Starr at a live show solidified that desire. Starr (Surrey’s Mark Vellios) would go on to coach Neligan as a wrestler when he was so fresh out of high school that his mom had to sign a release to allow him to train. “You know when you’re in kindergarten you have to paint what you want to be when you grow up?” asks Neligan, a 26-yearold Surrey native. “Other kids would paint Superman or a cop or a firefighter – I painted Hulk Hogan. So yeah, my entire life that’s what I said I was going to do, but no one believed me.” Twenty-two years after Neligan’s inaugural introduction to live wrestling, he’s realized his dream of becoming Hulk Hogan – or at least pretty close to it. Performing as part of the Elite Canadian Championship Wrestling (ECCW) crew under as his alter-ego Sid Sylum, Neligan is a pro-wrestling “heel” who has collected as many fans as enemies. In the world of wrestling, there are good guys and bad guys; or, in their own lexicon, faces and heels. Sylum, irrefutably, is the latter. “I’m a heel. It’s much, much more fun,” he says, being sure to add in that it’s all an act.

rt o f om

EM O NT

By day, Neligan is the goodnatured uncle who babysits his one-year-old niece; it’s only as Sid Sylum that people are rooting for him to get knocked on his ass. “I’m just naturally better at being the bad guy. It’s a lot more fun. I’ve been a good guy, and it’s good when the fans are chanting your name when you come out, but I get the same rush from them booing me.… It’s fun to be bad. You get to go out there and be a jerk. You get to be a cartoon-y villain, you know, the type that kicks a chair out before someone sits on it. You have to be not afraid to look like an idiot ‘cause at the end of the day, people want to see the bad guy get beat and the good guy triumph. I get the same rush and the same feel out of losing a match and having them cheer as I do winning a match. You get the reaction.” For the most part, he says, people get that it’s a facade – but at times, fans can forget that they’re real people, too. Neligan says that’s most highlighted during bouts like Fans Bring the Weapons matches, in which incredibly dangerous items get thrown into the ring. “People bring some really weird stuff (to the FBTW matches). Like, someone brought a two-by-four with two-inch nails and so that’s why we kind of screen stuff. I don’t think people realize we’re real people. It’s a show, but when people get hit with that they’re gonna die,” he says earnestly. “I got hit with a SpongeBob piñata and it exploded with thumbtacks. When we did this in October, someone brought a car door and a painting of one of our wrestlers, Scotty Mac.”

Sean Neligan (right) in action as Sid Sylum, who will return to Cloverdale Fairgrounds this Saturday, May 3, as part of an Elite Canadian Championship Wrestling (ECCW) event. Instead of bashing the painting over someone’s head, Mac admits to taking the painting home and hanging it in his garage. Among other weapons contributed to the matches are computer keyboards, ironing boards, crutches, baseball bats, trash cans and, in one instance, even a live lobster. These

are the kinds of things the ECCW will accept into those matches, but they have to draw the line somewhere. “Something like broken glass or nails, you can’t really do anything with that without maiming or killing somebody,” Neligan says. The ECCW’s next show, dubbed

“Hello Ladies…”, takes place in Surrey on Saturday, May 3, and celebrates the ECCW’s 18th anniversary. Commemorating the organization’s 18 years, head organizer Scotty Mac says the show will include a couple special features, starring WWE porn-starturned-wrestler Val Venis (where the “Hello Ladies…” tagline comes from) and a “Throwback Throwdown” match featuring former WWE wrestlers Ladies Choice and Buddy Wayne. The show includes eight different types of wrestling matches, including a Seven-Man Gauntlet for the Gold, a War Games Style Elimination Cage Match and a Fans Bring the Weapons Match. Mac assures that the event, taking place at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds – the same place Neligan watched his first live wrestling show 22 years ago – is a family-friendly event. It could just be the event that spawns a new generation of Sid Sylums. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. For more information, visit ECCW. com.

SURREY — It’s been 100 years since Canada turned away the Komagata Maru as part of exclusionary immigration policies in place at the time. To honour the centenary of the incident, a number of events are happening around the Lower Mainland this year. Tonight (Thursday, May 1) at Centre Stage at Surrey’s new city hall, filmmaker Ali Kazimi will be present at a screening of his 2004 documentary film Continuous Journey, from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at 13450 104th Ave. Admission is free. Jordan Strom, curator of exhibitions and collections at Surrey Art Gallery, says event organizers are thrilled to have Kazimi back in Surrey to discuss his work. “We have a past that has some dark moments, and this is a very tragic event that has real consequences,” Strom told the Now. “So hopefully people come away realizing (this) but also (remembering that) there are echoes of this in some of our approaches to more recent waves of migration.” In the spring of 1914, the Japanese ship Komagata Maru, carrying 376 immigrants

from the Punjab area of what was then British India, was refused permission by the Canadian government to dock at Burrard Inlet. The May 1 film screening and discussion is presented as part of the Harjit Kaur Sidhu Memorial Program 2014, organized by UBC’s Asian Studies department in partnership with Komagata Maru Heritage Foundation, Surrey Art Gallery and Surrey Civic Theatres. On Friday, May 9, actors will help mark the centenary during Performing the Komagata Maru: Theatre and the Work of Memory, an event staged at Surrey Arts Centre. Members of Surreybased theatre group Rangmanch Punjabi have collaborated with the UBC theatre department on a bilingual production that links scenes from three different plays – two in Punjabi, one in English – written about the Komagata Maru and its history. Surtitles will be shown. Meanwhile, Surrey Art Gallery’s Ruptures and Arrivals: Art in the Wake of the Komagata Maru exhibit is on view until June 15.

SURREY — Students will have a chance to rub shoulders with the pros of Vancouver Chamber Choir (VCC) at a day-long choral festival here next Thursday, May 8. Events at Bell Performing Arts Centre during Surrey School’s Secondary Choral Festival will include an evening public concert by the VCC, now in its 43rd season of producing some award-winning music. During the day, members of the choir will sing with students during workshop sessions. “We’ll put our singers in with their singers and let their conductors work with them,” said VCC conductor Jon Washburn, who founded the choir in 1971. “It’ll be like putting high-octane gas in the tank of your car, because there’ll be that big lift.

All tickets are $25 via 604-507-6355 or www.BellPerformingArtsCentre.com. The 20-member choir’s 7 p.m. concert is dubbed “Space Music: Five Centuries of Spatial Song,” also to be performed May 9 in Vancouver at Ryerson United Church, the choir’s concert home. “The program is focused on music and space – physical space,” Washburn noted. “Each one has a different arrangement, a different setup – two choirs, three choirs, a solo quartet with two choirs, a circle (of singers) around the audience. We’re not sure how we’re going to do some of them (at the Bell), but we’ll give it a try.”

May days are for dance moms – and dancing moms, too ArtsScene Melanie Minty Columnist

t’s May. As in May Day, May flowers, Mother’s Day. All of these things are connected. May is a glorious month for dancing around a May pole and presenting moms with posies or potted plants. Mother’s Day is one of the busiest days of the year for florists and greeting card company sales. Well, that just figures. I mean, everyone has, or had, a mother. Not everyone has a sweetheart for Valentine’s Day or celebrates Christmas. Universally and globally, moms rule. So in May we honour all moms. First on my list to honour are all dance moms. I hear you rolling your eyes. Dance moms, like soccer moms and stage moms, have been hit with a bad rep. Here is where I get to say reality-TV shows are not based in reality. That is not to say there will not be some scenes charged with emotion – that’s just to be expected when there is such an investment of time and money involved in developing a dancer. I know. I did it. It was worth the investment. Dancers are (usually) beautiful people who have had the advantage of developing athletic, mental and social skills while learning to dance. What a winning advantage in life. So for all you dance moms out there, I salute you. You make a difference, keep it positive

and show the world that real dance moms are essential. And hey, kids. Do you have a dance mom? In other words, are you a dancer? Going to get mom some flowers for Mother’s Day? Great. How about encouraging your mom to join an adult dance program? Almost every dance studio in Surrey offers some adult classes. Moms are often shy about joining in a dance class, but give them some encouragement. Being part of a dance class could change your life. And what a gift that would be. Everybody dance now. A gift of music is another very fine gift. Christopher Simmons has a gift of song. He has, along with friends, started a concert series at St. Mark’s Anglican in Ocean Park. The series, quite appropriately, is called St. Mark’s Concerts and they hope to do about three or four concerts per year. They are putting on a Mother’s Day concert on Sunday, May 11 entitled “Mamma Mia!” This concert has been designed to honour all mothers, with special consideration to those who have lost children. The selected group of songs will reflect all aspects of motherhood – “the good, the bad and the ugly,” so to speak. There are songs that focus on becoming a mom (Celine Dion’s “Miracle”), the joy of motherhood (Strauss’ Opus 43 “Mutterhandelei”), the challenges of being a mom (“The Mom Song”), and even the 1950s song “Mother-in-law.” There is

ARTS & LIFE Roy and Violet Kozinski

Humour, patience help couple reach 70th anniversary Katya Slepian

Now contributor Twitter @katslepian

How do you make it to your 70th wedding anniversary in one piece? According to Violet Kozinski, 89, it involves “a good sense of humour and a lot of patience.” “You live that long with one person, you always end up in an argument over something. But you go for a walk, shake it off and you come back,” added her husband, Roy, 91. The two met more than 70 years ago at a bar dance in Winnipeg while working for the air force. “In those days you could go to a dance with your girlfriends and it used to cost you 25 cents, and at that time most of the people that were there were either air crew, army or navy,” explained Violet. The two hit it off and started going out, though their schedules didn’t exactly align. “I was on steady graveyard shift and he was on days, so he’d come off shift and I would be going out,” Violet said. “We’d meet at a café for coffee in the morning as she was going home and I was

going to work,” Roy added. But despite the inconvenience, the young couple made it work and they got married in the spring of 1944. But it wasn’t married bliss just yet; soon after the wedding, Roy was sent out to Vancouver by the air force while Violet stayed behind in Winnipeg. She eventually moved out west to join Roy, but it wasn’t easy. “The trouble was, trying to find a place to live in Vancouver in those days was a chore in itself,” Roy said. “There were just a lot of old rooming houses down in the West End. The first one we had was an upstairs bedroom and that was a bed-sitting room and the clothes closet was a kitchenette,” Violet recalled with a laugh, “so we used to have to put a quarter in to get some gas on this little stove that they had there.” The couple didn’t stay there long and moved to a house near Marpole. Their two children, Barbara and Bob, were born there. The two have since moved away – Barbara to Ottawa and Bob to Edmonton – but they fondly remember their childhood in Vancouver. “I certainly remember the camping trip

holidays we used to take, the canvas tents and leaking canvas. It was good times, I remember that very well,” Bob said. Even the tough times made for great memories. “Dad worked at the lumber mill so every few years he went on strike and mum would bring out the pea soup. Oh the pea soup! I love it now but back then…” Barbara trailed off, laughing. Roy and Violet lived in the same house that Bob and Barbara grew up in for 40 years before moving out to Surrey, where they live now. “Oh, Vancouver’s changed so much, it’s so different now. When we came to Vancouver…” Violet started. “There were no cars on the streets!” Roy interjected. “Well, during the war, nobody could buy tires, so nearly all the cars that were around were up on stilts,” Violet added. She worked for a while at Woodwards, a department store in what was then the heart of the city’s shopping district, while Roy worked at a sawmill for 40 years after he left the air force in 1947. “The factory was making boxes for ammunition (during the Second World

War), for the army. After the war was finished, they made that box factory into a saw mill where they made lumber.” But it wasn’t all hard work. While Roy was still in the air force, the couple lived downtown for a short while. Though money was tight, they found ways to keep themselves entertained. “Right where Kitsilano is now, that used to be the station where he was stationed at, so we’d walk across the Burrard Bridge to get a free movie at the station,” Violet recalled. “And they used to have Theatre Under The Stars (in Stanley Park) so we’d go down and sit on the grass and listen to the music.” After the kids grew up, the couple, who had been dancing since their early days, starting square-dancing in earnest. “My dancing days are over now but we used to go to Penticton every summer. They used to take a park there and cover it with plywood. People would come from all over the place and all the callers would come in from all different places and we’d dance,” Violet said. To celebrate their 70th anniversary, the couple will hold an open house at their Surrey townhouse on Sunday, May 4, from noon to 2 p.m. at 9072 Fleetwood Way.

Surrey, Delta teams shine with six Coastal Cup titles Michael Booth

Now staff Twitter @boothnow

Surrey and Delta clubs combined to capture six ‘A’ championships in the finals of the 61st annual Coastal Cup metro soccer tournament last weekend in Richmond. Surrey United-Guildford,

Delta-Coastal and Surrey Pegasus each captured a pair of ‘A’ cup titles. In addition, Central City Breakers, Surrey United and Surrey FC each claimed one ‘B’ cup crown. Surrey United and Guildford FC combine their metro programs, as does Coastal FC and an

amalgamation of Delta programs. “It’s great to see these kids get rewarded for their efforts,” said Coastal FC executive director Chris Murphy. “Since the creation of the premier league, the metro levels have maybe been forgotten about, but

now clubs are putting more emphasis and energies back into it to support those teams. “The reality is there are a lot of very good players who are choosing to play metro and not premier. Financially and time commitment — there are still barriers between the two levels. The

standard is still excellent at the metro level and we’re very happy with our results last weekend.” The Coastal Cup is a month-long tournament for boys and girls teams from across the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island competing in age categories ranging from Under-13 to Under-18. The winning teams earn the right to represent their district at the provincial championships in July. Surrey United-Guildford beat the Burnaby Selects 3-2 on penalty kicks to win the boys’ U-13 ‘A’ cup, and spot shots also determined the boys U-18 ‘A’ cup title with Surrey United-Guildford topping Surrey Pegasus 5-4. Two gold medals landed in the Surrey Pegasus clubhouse in Newton, thanks to the club’s U-15 entries. Pegasus prevailed 2-0 over Coquitlam Metro Ford in the boys’ U-15 ‘A’ cup final while the Surrey girls blanked Delta-Coastal 1-0 in their ‘A’ cup final. Delta-Coastal bounced back to earn a pair of gold medals. The Delta-Coastal Selects edged the Upper Vancouver Island Riptide 2-1 in the boys U-14 ‘A’ cup final, while the Delta-Coastal Selects shutout the Port Coquitlam Castillians 2-0. Coastal ‘B’ Cup final results included the Surrey FC Rangers beating KLM United 2-1 in the U-14 boys final; the Surrey FC U-15 Ravens falling 1-0 to the

South Burnaby Strikers in the U-15 boys title game; Central City Elite nipping the Tsawwassen Blues 2-1 for the U-18 boys crown; and Surrey United Elite squeaking past Picolo Burnaby 2-1 in the U-18 girls finale.

It’s a very prestigious achievement for our teams and we’re all excited about it. “The Coastal Cup means a lot to the kids and the coaches are very dedicated,” said Surrey United technical director Jeff Clarke. “It’s a very important part of our club’s structure. The Metro League does a nice job of drumming it up and there’s a lot of attention paid to that level by B.C. Soccer and all the clubs. It’s a very prestigious achievement for our teams and we’re all excited about it. Clarke then added, “The success we’ve had with our premier program wouldn’t be possible without the metro program. We call up metro players on a weekly basis to the premier teams to fill in for injuries or other absences. The metro program doesn’t get enough credit so it’s nice to see those players enjoying success with their teammates.”

911Turbo When it comes to blistering on-ramp acceleration, the 911 Turbo is completely nuts

BY BRENDAN McALEER

brendanmcaleer@gmail.com

•

Tweet: @brendan_mcaleer

Once upon a time, the Porsche 911 was a dangerous, tail-happy hooligan that was difficult to keep in check. Like a high-strung thoroughbred, it felt like it was always looking for a way to buck its rider (or driver) clean out of the seat.

2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S model shown

The keyless entry used to get into this tester, for instance? That’d be optional, to the tune of $1250.

“Sport Plus”, and stand on first the brake and then accelerator. Now let off the brake.

Leaving aside how much customization Porsche allows – and charges for – the cabin of the 911 turbo is not much different from the standard 911. Perhaps that’s why the gauges so prominently feature a scripted “turbo” and vehicle silhouette when you fire the thing up.

0-100km/h comes in just 3.2 seconds, and beyond that – well, that’s for you to find out on the track. Stupendous stuff, but delivered all in a safe, almost clinical manner. You can no longer buy a 911 Turbo with a manual transmission, but that’s a good thing, frankly. The sevenspeed PDK dual-clutch transmission is a better fit for this titan of technology than a clutch and stick would be. Moreover, I don’t think most folks’ legs could keep up with the speed.

However, that’s a good thing. The seating position of the 911 is just about perfect, nice and low, with a bit more space inside for the taller driver than there has been in the past. The rear seats are also larger, and while adults will not be happy back there, this marks the first generation where there are approved child-seats that fit. The US market always had them, but Canadian kid seats were tough to find.

Over the intervening four decades, Porsche’s forced-induction rocketship has grown kinder and gentler with every iteration. This most-recent 911 variant is dubbed the 991, and in other formats, the critics have spurned it as being a bit too much of a grand tourer. With this newest 911 Turbo, have Porsche’s efforts to tame their turbocharged beast driven the spirit out of their range-topping car?

Harnessing all the sturm und drang is a very clever allwheel-drive system capable of shunting power for and aft via an electrically controlled central differential, as well as from side to side when cornering. There’s also PDCC: a hydraulically-actuated suspension system that reduces body roll and controls camber in the curves.

Sightlines are good, and Porsche’s infotainment system is easy to use. Central to the dash is a 7-inch touchscreen and in a nice throwback touch, you can even tune the radio with the rightmost knob.

Design:

Porsche launched this latest generation of their halfcentury old sporting 2+2 to a mixture of ooohs and hmms. There’s no doubt that the new car was a modern take on that classic rear-engined shape, but it was also a bit too long from some angles, and perhaps not quite as pretty as the outgoing 997.

Porsches have always had something of a spartan feel to them, but the turbo is more like a two-seater Panamera than anything else. The fit and finish is exemplary, the seats are grippy, yet comfortable, and were not this tester swathed in Carrera-red leather, you could almost say it was quite reserved in here.

Count me among those who didn’t love the 991 at first, but also count me among the converted. In Turbo form, the 991 looks like it was always supposed to – the extra width of the rear haunches balances out the length of the car, and the raised tail gives the profile heft to match the otherwise-gigantic 20” multi-spoke alloys.

Performance:

Together, it all works like a bionic extension of the driver, while at the same time slightly isolating the driver from the rawer elements of travelling very quickly. If you want a more driver-focused 911, that’s probably the GT3. The 911 Turbo is more of a renaissance car – capable of blitzing a track, picking up the kids from piano practice, and then driving to Los Angeles overnight. It’s the do-everything promise of the 959 supercar brought to modern life.

When it comes to blistering on-ramp acceleration, the 911 Turbo is completely nuts. Its twin-turbo 3.8L flat-six is pumping out 520hp, or more than twice what the original 911 Turbo made. That’s an insane amount of power for a smallish sportscar like this.

Yes, it’s not that wildly different from other 911s, but that’s part of the Turbo’s charm. It is the highest-performance spec, but it doesn’t have the ostentation of a Ferrari or Lamborghini, or the visual brutality of a Nissan GT-R.

Features:

While navigation and other amenities are standard on this $169,200 car – and so they should be – the sky is the limit as to what else you can option. The $4000 Burmeister premium audio makes for a lovely travel companion, for instance.

Apart from the brief sloshing of your internal organs as they struggle to keep up with the g-forces, there’s not a lot of drama here. Over the years, driving a 911 Turbo has gone from catching a tiger by the tail to stroking a pussycat. It’s blisteringly fast, but it doesn’t put a wheel wrong – you can hardly believe the speed with which the numbers on the dash climb.

Environment:

There’s absolutely no reason why you couldn’t live with this car on a day-to-day basis, as far as the interior is concerned. At least, that’s assuming you got the options list right.

Park assist is a more-reasonable $440, and then there are the options which are more requirement than indulgence: the $4670 Sport Chrono and the $3610 PDCC. Even without the rider “... for a 500hp+ supercar,” the 911 Turbo is actually pretty good on gas. In city fuel economy is an achievable 12.2L/100kms, and highway is an excellent 8.1L/100kms.

There’s also launch control, just in case you wanted to pop over to the dragstrip. Simply press the button marked

Rialto theatre fades to black, lack of digital tech to blame Christopher Poon

Now staff Twitter @questionchris

SOUTH SURREY — Rialto Twin Theatre has shown its final film. The theatre closed its doors Monday, and empty movie poster spots adorned the theatre’s exterior. The marquee that advertises upcoming flicks simply bore the message, “THEATRE CLOSED.” In a release sent out Monday, a spokesperson for owner Criterion Entertainment attributed the closure to the increasing difficulty of obtaining movies on 35 mm film. “This was a difficult decision, but as movie theatres across North America have converted to digital projection from 35 mm film, the shrinking demand for 35 mm prints has forced our hand,” read the release. Cloverdale’s Clova Cinema also saw declining business in recent years due to the narrowing availability of 35 mm film, which eventually led to the sale of that building earlier this year. According to the Criterion release, less than five per cent of movie theatres in Canada still run 35 mm film and Canada’s only remaining 35 mm lab

closed last year. “Unfortunately, this has made it increasingly difficult to secure suitable product for the Rialto market.” The operators had looked at possibly converting the Rialto to digital projection but due to the theatre’s age, size and overhead, the move was deemed “too prohibitive.” The closure came as a surprise to longtime moviegoer and South Surrey resident Herb Spencer, who regularly attended the theatre with his wife, Eileen. “We’re absolutely disappointed and quite shocked. The guy who ran it picked very good movies and frequently had sell out audiences, so it’s quite shocking to see that it’s closed,” said Spencer. “Often we’d have to go half-an-hour early on a Saturday night just to get in because the movies were so popular.” Spencer said he and his wife last went to the theatre three weeks ago and will miss having a place nearby that showed some of the less mainstream films. While the theatre will be missed, its sister theatre, the Caprice, remains open at this time. The Rialto would have celebrated its 20th anniversary this November. cpoon@thenownewspaper.com

WHITE ROCK — The City of White Rock will experience its first ever worker strike after the employees’ union issued 72-hour strike notice Tuesday morning. Now, with job action set to begin Friday, members of CUPE 402-01 are hoping the city will see they are serious about their bargaining issues. “We didn’t have a choice, we met with the city Friday, Saturday and Sunday and came away very disappointed,” said CUPE 402-01 President Mike Guraliuk. “It’s obvious the employer has no concerns for our issues so we felt no other choice than to serve them notice.” According to Guraliuk, the first part of the job action will be to shut down city hall. “So all services to do with city hall, including pay parking, taxes, ticketing, bylaw enforcement, everything will be affected,” he said. As of now, Friday is the only day set for job action, but Guraliuk said more were on the horizon. “After city hall we’re looking at operations, that would be garbage, recycling, building maintenance, road works, but we haven’t decided which day that will be,” he said. “It will be next week though.” Once the union has issued an initial 72hour strike notice, it does not have to do so for any subsequent days of job action. At issue for the union are defined work hours for all employees, fair treatment for casual and part-time employees and more safeguards for those who become seriously ill. CUPE 402-01 represents more than 100 workers in the city, including operations workers, arena workers and clerks through various municipal buildings. “Our interest is getting the city back to the end of the table,” explained Guraliuk. “We don’t want to strike but our hand has been

forced, so we figured rotating strikes will put the pressure on the city to get back to the table and get a deal done.” Pickets will be set up at city hall Friday morning and will continue throughout the day. Shortly after the union’s announcement, the city came out with a release of its own highlighting the city’s offer to the union. In the release, the city says its offers have been in line with other municipalities dealing with CUPE locals and that the city has always been and remains committed to bargaining in good faith. “The City of White Rock is proposing a fair and balanced offer to CUPE 402-01. The offer is sustainable and contains what the city believes is required to resolve outstanding issues presented at the table. Given its size, the city must meet the demand for public services within their available funding and ensure service delivery is cost effective and efficient,” reads the release. Part of the city’s offer includes a 6.75 per cent wage increase from 2012 to 2015. “The city remains hopeful that a settlement can be reached that meets the needs of both parties,” the release states. In February, the city’s union workers voted 94 per cent in favour of striking after being without an agreement since the end of 2011. Both sides have been negotiating for the past year, to no avail. Mayor Wayne Baldwin said Tuesday there was a plan in place to deal with the strike, adding he was disappointed at the union’s actions when the city is willing to offer benefits and compensation in line with other municipalities. “The union for some reason has dug their heels in on what seems to be relatively small issues,” he said. “These were not issues a short while ago, we’ve had these contracts in place for a long time and I think most people in the public would think, ‘Wow, if I could get a job like that I would be really happy.’”

White Rock councillors ponder re-election bids EDITOR’S NOTE: Due to an error in the production process, this story did not appear in Tuesday’s edition. Christopher Poon

Now staff Twitter @questionchris

WHITE ROCK — With the fall municipal election edging closer, most of White Rock council has already decided on whether or not they’ll be seeking another term at the table. Coun. Grant Meyer, currently in his second term, said he intends to run for a councillor position once again

with hope of continuing to work on improving the waterfront and rail safety in the city. Meyer said he had been approached by some in the community about running for mayor, but with current Mayor Wayne Baldwin seeking reelection, he decided against aiming for top spot. “I’ve been happy, Wayne’s been a good mayor and I’m happy he’s running again, so there’s no point in me running. Maybe one day down the road I’ll consider a higher office of another form, but for now I’ll run for another term for council,” he said. Also in his second term is Coun. Alan Campbell, who will

also be throwing his hat back into the ring. “I want to continue on the waterfront aspects, the Johnston Road corridor improvement, sensible development — development that makes sense to the city, so I’d like to continue on with those,” he said. “I think after six years, you know your way around the city well and the expectations of how a city works.” Coun. Bill Lawrence, who was elected in a byelection in fall 2013 following the passing of Mary-Wade Anderson, will also seek re-election. “If I was lucky enough to be elected next time, I’d want to continue to work with the East Beach improvement task force,” he said, adding he’d also like to continue helping to build White Rock while keeping taxes for residents at a reasonable rate. As for Coun. Helen Fathers, while she confirmed she would be running again come November, for what seat still remains to be seen. When asked if she is considering a run for mayor, Fathers said that was a possibility. “I will be running definitely, but that (running for mayor), I haven’t decided on,” she said. “It’ll be one or the other. I’d like to continue representing the residents, that’s for sure. I guess I just like being there to represent what I see as the voice of the community.” Earlier this year, first-term White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin said he would be running for re-election this fall. “We just haven’t finished all the stuff that we wanted to get done, so I feel like if I leave now things would be half done, and that would be a shame,” he said in January. The only councillor yet to decide is Coun. Louise Hutchinson, who said it was still too soon to make a decision on running again. “I still have six and a half months to go before needing to declare,” she said. “I will decide before the August break.” Even if all current members of council decide to run again and are elected, there will still be one spot to fill following the passing of Larry Robinson in March. The 2014 municipal election will be held on Nov. 15, with the nomination period running from to Sept. 30 to Oct. 10. cpoon@thenownewspaper.com

WHITE ROCK — “Life backstage” is the theme of White Rock Players’ Club’s 70th season, which starts this coming fall and runs until next spring. The company’s 2014-2015 season will include five plays, artistic director Ryan Mooney announced April 6 during a seasonlaunch event at Coast Capital Playhouse. The Players’ season opens Oct. 8 with Michael Frayn’s Noises Off (about a cast of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing’s On”) and closes in June 2015 with Paul Rudnick’s I Hate Hamlet (about a TV actor who is troubled by an offer to play one of Shakespeare’s most famous characters). Also set to hit the boards at the Johnston Road theatre is The Drowsy Chaperone, to continue the company’s tradition of producing a post-holiday musical in the month of February, and, in April, Ronald Harwood’s Quartet, a funny and poignant script that keys on a quartet of retired opera singers who reunite each year to celebrate Verdi’s birthday.

Potters find home at new studio Semiahmoo Potters hold one last sale at Ocean Park Hall this weekend Amy Reid

Now staff Twitter @amyreid87

SOUTH SURREY — The Semiahmoo Potters club is thrilled with the creation of a new studio in the recentlycompleted arts wing at South Surrey Recreation Centre. It’s the first true home for the group since its inception 20 years ago, said Diane Petersen, president of Semiahmoo Potters. Petersen said they’ve been a “nomadic group,” moving from place to place over the years. For a time, the club leased space out of an annex at White Rock Elementary. And for the last number of years, the group has been operating out of a house that belongs to Don Hutchinson, a well-known B.C. potter. But the group has “always looked for a permanent home,” Petersen said, which it has found in the new pottery studio.

Diane Peterson, president of Semiahmoo Potters, says the group is thrilled with its new home in the recentlycompleted arts wing at South Surrey Recreation Centre. (Photo: KEVIN HILL) The group, which currently has 35 active members, is planning to use the studio four times a week, for a total of 16 hours. Petersen said the studio was long overdue in Surrey. “There is no place right now in Surrey where you can go to take classes if you are an experienced potter. There just aren’t any. So what’s happened is people like myself and our members either go to Burnaby and take lessons there, and they’re phenomenal classes… but it’s certainly not in our backyard,” she said.

The South Surrey studio will be one of the largest in the city, with 14 pottery wheels, similar to the number at Surrey Arts Centre. Semiahmoo Potters is set to hold its semi-annual sale this weekend, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, at Ocean Park Hall located at 1577 128th St. The group has held sales at the hall for some 16 years, and this will be the last one out of that space. “Ocean Park community hall has been a very wonderful venue for us,” she

said, adding it’s bittersweet to say goodbye. The group wanted to do something special at the final Ocean Park sale, and instead of just pottery, the group will be selling other art created by members, including paintings and jewelry. After this, the group’s sales will be out of the South Surrey arts space. The recreation facility, located at 146th Street and 20th Avenue, recently underwent an expansion that included 5,300 square feet of dedicated arts space, featuring the pottery studio, as well as an art gallery, media arts lab, visual arts studio and multi-purpose rooms. The grand opening of the arts spaces will take place on May 10. To view classes being offered visit www. semiahmooarts.com.
