Crowd gives paddlers emotional send-off Spirit of the Coast canoers receive traditonal farewell as they embark on three-month journey to Alaska VIEW PHOTO GALLERY WITH LAYAR By Roxanne Hooper

t was a huge send off where friends and family came together to express appreciation and admiration for a team of paddlers who are embarking on a three-month canoe journey to Alaska. More than 100 people gathered in the Kwantlen Cultural Centre Sunday morning to wish Kwantlen’s own son Brandon Gabriel – as well as his skipper Chris Cooper of Pitt Meadows and other members of the Spirit of the international Coast Canoe Journey team – a safe and prosperous trek. The journey is being made, in large part, to bring awareness to what Cooper describes as the jewel in Canada’s crown – the pristine and stunningly beautiful British Columbia coastline. Both Cooper and Gabriel spoke to the sensitive balance that currently exists and what they call the very real and dangerous threat posed by growth and development of tarsands and pipelines. “The biggest, most pressing issue here is the environment: economic, social, and cultural sustainability,” Gabriel told the crowd. “Our coast is in trouble and I really feel we needed to do something special to bring attention to our coast,” Cooper said, explaining his motivation for developing this excursion. “It will be a most remarkable journey for all the pullers who are going to be involved in our journey.” Cooper said there is a core team of four paddlers participating and a variety of other supporters will join in for various legs of the trip. He’s travelled up and down the coast five times in past, and said this journey will be one of the most significant because of its purpose. “I can’t think of a better way to travel our coast, but by canoe,” he said, sending out thanks to a few dozen sponsors who helped make the trip possible with donations of cash, services and gifts in kind. The private First Nations gathering started with a feast, was filled with drumming and songs shared by the Kwantlen and visiting First Nations, included presentations of blankets to each of the paddlers, saw hand-painted drums and paddles given as thank-yous to some special contributors, and the ceremony was completed with a traditional First Nations blessing for both the paddlers and their canoe. Then, in short order, the pullers were loading up the Chief of the River canoe with equipment and embarked on the first leg of their journey from the Kwantlen boat launch to the Bedford Landing waterfront plaza – two minutes down stream – where the team disembarked again, this time to take part in a much briefer public farewell celebration. “You are all going with us on the journey. It’s a powerful thing we are taking with us,” Gabriel said, laying his hand over his heart. “We are carrying your prayers, your thoughts, your goodwill, your positive spirits.” The 1,300-km journey will include stops at about a dozen other First Nation’s territories along the way, and will conclude in September at the border to Alaska.

Country singers at ‘Denim and Diamonds’ fundraiser Heather Colpitts
Langley Advance Twitter @langleyadvance
The Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation is lucky to have snagged top talent for its Denim and Diamonds fundraising gala on Saturday, June 7. Karen Lee Batten and the singing sisters Robyn and Ryleigh will perform. But these country gals have lots of irons in the fire right now. After filming a music video in the northeast corner of Langley last week, Batten is prepping for her June 5 albumrelease party for Cause a Scene. It takes place at the Fan Club on Granville Street. The video is for “Life Worth Living,” which dropped on Tuesday and is the second single from Cause a Scene. “It’s such a feel good song and one that reminds me every day about what really matters in life,” Batten said. “We all live crazy busy lives and it’s kind of like the quote we have all heard for years ‘don’t forget to stop and smell the roses’. That’s what this song is about, life flies by and it’s the time we have with our family, friends, memories we share, places we get to see - whatever makes you
really happy. That’s what matters.” Not that she’s following that advice right now, being crazy busy. “I love it though, I love travelling, meeting new people, and most of all, performing,” she said. “I leave on a cross Canada TV/ radio tour next month, and have lots of shows this summer.” That’s what matters to her. And the gala is one of her shows. “It will be such a great night for a great cause,” she said. She’s also booked for the second Gone Country - The Twins Cancer Fundraiser in late July at Bill Reid Millennium Amphitheatre in Cloverdale. The concert event will also feature Chad Brownlee and Brett Kissell. As Batten continues to work on her country music career, she’s finding more acceptance. There’s the fan support but also local businesses are wanting to sell her recordings. “It really amazes me how great of a community this is, and I am proud to say I live here,” she said. Meanwhile, Langley’s Gillespie sisters, just off a performance at the Cloverdale Rodeo on the May long weekend, will be putting out new music in June.

and came home with a few new songs. We loved it! It was our first time there but definitely not our last,” said Ryleigh. Next, these Brookswood Secondary grads are showcasing their talents for their hometown fans at the Denim and Diamonds Gala. That’s a fundraising event for the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation. “Very excited to be a part of this one,” Ryleigh said. The funds raised are used by the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation to purchase equipment. The foundation’s most recent campaign was an expansion of the outdated maternity ward. The Gillespie sisters have done shows around the Pacific Northwest and Alberta since last year, with more on the way. On June 12, they are at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver for a “Country Nights” event.

What’s your favourite vintage Model, eh? Troy Landreville
Langley Advance Twitter @langleyadvance
While Mike Breed may not be Langley’s principal guru of Model A vehicles, he’s certainly one of them. The secretary of the Pacific Model A Club has 11 Model As parked on his sprawling Brookswood property, six of which he owns. He restores, shows, and has a general passion for the Ford models, manufactured from late 1927 to 1931. Need a question answered about a Model A? Breed will likely have the answer you’re looking for, as a pair of 90-year-old residents of Pennsylvania recently found out. While visiting the state, Breed and wife Lil drove through a little town, where he caught a glimpse of the
front end of a Model A parked inside a stone shop with its door open. His interest naturally piqued, Breed quickly introduced himself to the two men. Breed learned that the car was purchased, brand new, by the grandfather of one of the men, and had been sitting in a barn built by the grandfather a century ago. And it turned out, these two seniors were in a pickle. They were trying to get the car up and running for use in the area’s Memorial Day Parade last month. “They were having trouble timing it, so I was able to take the time to show them how to get it timed and do it for them,” Breed said. “They were tickled pink with the idea that somebody would stop and help them out. It worked out well.”
A 73-year-old transplanted New Zealander who arrived in Canada in 1962, Breed bought his first Model A in, he figured, “1956 or ‘57.” “I started with the Model As when I was 14 years old, working at the local shop,” Breed shared. “At 15, I started my five-year apprenticeship there (at the shop).” The vehicle at the shop in Hamilton, N.Z., happened to be a Model A, and Breed also drove a Model A to school. But it’s not just raw nostalgia that draws Breed to Model As. “Oh, restoration, preserving them, keeping them on the road, and also having a ton of fun driving them,” he said, about his passion for the vehicles. “It’s something you grow up with. The kids these
Mike Breed is a Model A aficionado, and has nearly a dozen of the cars parked on his Brookswood property. (Photo: TROY LANDREVILLE) collector cars. “The Model A was actually a family car, with an affordable price for family people,” Breed said. The two-door Model A was designed in a way that parents could put their
days, they’re looking at what their folks had when they were little, and that’s what they’re looking to restore, and that was the Breed likes the fact that Model As are simple, meat-and-potatoes type of
kids in the backseat and not worry about the doors “flying open,” Breed said. Breed said he does a lot of restoration work while lending his mechanical expertise to members of other Model A clubs as well as private owners. One such car, a 1930 Sport Coupe that Breed said he did a full restoration on, belonged to a man who has since passed away. “I had to panic to get it finished because he had cancer, and I wanted to get it together, for him to drive it, which he did,” Breed said. “It’s now owned by his widow, and she does not have a place to keep it, but I do.” Breed showed one of his cars at the Pacific Model A Club’s 26th annual show last Sunday at the BC Farm Machinery and Agricultural Museum.

Painter draws inspiration from O’Keeffe, Carr Matthew Claxton
Langley Advance Twitter @langleyadvance
Trish ClarkeJennings took a slightly unconventional route to becoming a painter. She didn’t start as an eagerly sketching youngster – she grew up doing needlework, painstakingly creating images one stitch at a time. “I can see how it’s influenced me, because I get really picky,” said ClarkeJennings. She finally switched over from holding a needle to holding a paintbrush, out of frustration. “I came to the conclusion I don’t like counting,” she said of the process of carefully watching your fabric and stitches. “This is so much freer,” she said of her painting. She was exposed to paintings first at her greatgrandmother’s home, where she had a clear memory of seeing a large painting hanging in the living room. After that initial fascination and her decision to give up needlework, it was a friend’s invitation to take a class on learning to draw that finally got her involved in the art world 32 years ago. Clarke-Jennings took classes at Kwantlen Polytechnic and the Academy of Art, and she began working on her own. “A sketchbook, you can take with you anytime,” she noted. Some of her biggest artistic inspirations are three women: Georgia O’Keeffe, Frida Kahlo, and British Columbia’s Emily Carr. Jumping between art forms, Clarke-Jennings said she often interprets paintings in metaphors drawn from music. “Every one of those ladies painted in a different musical style,” said ClarkeJennings. Carr’s majestic deepgreen West Coast trees are “symphonic,” while
O’Keefe’s paintings of flowers and New Mexico are “jazzier.” “It’s like I could hear music while I was looking at these paintings,” she said. She listens to music while painting, and often changes songs to suit the mood for the work in progress. The huge red flower in her current show was painted with Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah. Clarke-Jennings painted for many years while working with her family running a Langley import business. Sometimes she could get lost in the process, she said. “You just go into this zone, and the next thing you know, it’s way later than you thought,” she said. “It’s nice when you can get to that place.” The show runs from June 1 to 30 at ABC Fine Art Gallery, in downtown Langley. The show, like her painting career, began in a roundabout way. A conversation at the Bloomin’ Artists Gift Gallery in Langley City led to a suggestion of making some prints to sell, with proceeds to the Canadian Cancer Society. She went to ABC Fine Art owner Toby Malek, who shows work by local artists and makes prints. After he saw the pieces considered for prints, she was offered the show. He said he wants to foster the local art community in Langley, and is hosting a solo show each month at his gallery, each one with a specific theme. The prints will be up for purchase at both Bloomin’ Artists and at McBurney’s Coffee & Tea House. To see all 30 paintings, spanning five years of Clarke-Jenkins’s work, visit the ABC gallery, at 20573 Fraser Hwy. A reception for the exhibition will be held June 5, from 5-7:30 p.m. This is Clarke-Jennings’s second solo show.

Thespians scoop awards at ‘zone’ fest Roxanne Hooper
Langley Advance Twitter @langleyadvance
A Langley set decorator, a veteran Langley actor, a Langley director, and the community’s long-standing Langley Players Drama Club brought home a number of top honours from regional theatre competitions. The Fraser Valley Zone Festival, as it’s known, was hosted in Chilliwack last month, with six groups performing plays. The competition culminated in an awards night on May 24. Langley Players brought home three awards for their spring production of Light Sensitive. The local troupe earned best set decoration, credited to Langley’s Vicki Nelson, Surrey’s Karen McTavish, and Pitt Meadows resident Norley Smith. It was the trio’s first attempt at decorating a set. Langley Players also brought home the best supporting actor award, thanks to Surrey’s Reginald Pillay, and the best actress award was collected by Surrey’s Alaina Holland, an honour she shared with an actress from the Chilliwack Players Guild.
Actors Aaron Elliott, Barry Wright and Mike Busswood (from left) in Surrey Little Theatre’s production of The Drawer Boy, staged there in April and May.
The list of Langley winners doesn’t end there, however. Surrey Little Theatre, whose home is in the Clayton area of Surrey, scooped up two
awards for its production of The Drawer Boy, and both of those were earned by Langley residents. The best set design award was won by the
play’s director, June Ainsworth of Langley, and veteran Langley City thespian Mike Busswood was named best actor. The calibre of the shows was “outstanding” this year, said Raymond Hatton, the chair of this year’s Theatre BC Fraser Valley Zone event. The Willoughby resident credited that, in part, to a relatively new educational component, called the adjudicator’s tour. An experienced artistic director, Stephen Drover, travelled to the different clubs two months ahead of the competition and spent several hours watching and working with rehearsing teams. Hatton described the workshops as invaluable: “I think, without question, it elevated the quality of the productions.”

KPU’s new ‘Brew U’ instructors get hopping Meet Dominic Bernard and Alek Egi, two new Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) instructors who will be teaching B.C.’s next generation of brewmasters and brewery operators. Both bring scientific educational backgrounds, international experience, technical training and passion for brewing to KPU’s new program; In just over three months, they’ll be sharing their expertise with the Brewing and Brewery Operations program’s first students. Based at KPU Langley, both Bernard and Egi are currently developing the program’s HOPS courses. Egi is moving his family halfway across the country to teach at B.C.’s “Brew U,” and brings experience as a brewing manager, technologist, specialist and researcher to the program, on top of a master in food science from Dalhousie and a raft of brewing- and beer-
related training. With a Master of Science in brewing and distilling from Heriot-Watt University in Scotland, Bernard has about a decade of experience as a science teacher, and has worked in the brewing industries of B.C., Quebec and Belgium.
Dominic Bernard (left) and Alek Egi are the new brewing instructors at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU).
PROGRAM?
WHAT STARTED YOUR PASSION FOR BREWING?
Bernard: “I lived in Belgium in 1998 for eight months and I was amazed by the varieties of different beers. It’s in Belgium that I developed my palate and learned to appreciate good beer. After finishing my chemistry degree from SFU in 2002, I started to homebrew and became passionate about brewing as it was an opportunity for me to apply the chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology and engineering knowledge that I had acquired during my studies.” Egi: “As a bachelor
student in the University of Belgrade’s food technology engineering program, I had the opportunity to study many different food processing technologies Brewing caught my attention from the very start as one of the most challenging and at the
same time most interesting processing technologies. It incorporates many different disciplines such as biochemistry, microbiology and engineering.”
HOW ARE YOU QUALIFIED TO TEACH THE BREWING
Bernard: “I have a passion for beer and brewing. In addition, I’ve been a high school science teacher for the last seven years, and have also worked in the brewing industry in B.C., Quebec and Belgium.” Egi: “During the past 13 years working for the Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre, I gained advanced knowledge of brewing technology through hands-on work in pilot brewery and malt plants. As a graduate student, I focused on brewing-related research.
WHAT IS THE MOST SATISFYING PART OF BREWING?
Bernard: “Innovating new beer recipes.” Egi: “Coming up with new
beer recipes and products that people can enjoy – the constant quest for the perfect pint.”
WHAT ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO ABOUT THE PROGRAM?
Bernard: “Teaching and brewing in the new brewing facilities at KPU.” Egi: “I’m looking forward to teaching young brewers and passing on my experience, passion and knowledge. I’m also looking forward to brewing many different and exciting beers. For me, it’s the opportunity to be a significant part of one of the few educational institutions in North America that offer brewing programs, and to contribute to its success and growth.”

Classroom Champions
A champion among them
Three-time Olympian Brittany Schussler inspires Surrey students in the flesh Christopher Poon

GREEN TIMBERS — Somebody once said that you should never meet your heroes as it may lead to disappointment. Thankfully, Green Timbers Elementary didn’t get the memo as they did just that this past Friday when three-time Olympic speed skater Brittany Schussler visited the school. As part of the Classroom Champion’s program, which involves partnering a professional athlete with a school throughout the duration of a school year, Green Timbers students have been keeping up to date with Schussler and learning about her trials and tribulations in the world of pro speed skating. The students have learned about Schussler’s rise in her chosen sport, her defeats and her victories and have corresponded and connected with her over the past few months, including during her time at the Sochi 2014 Winter Games. Green Timbers is just one of two schools in B.C. currently enrolled in the not-for-profit program, and only one of 20 schools across Canada. Organizer and teacher Robyn Thiessen said she jumped at the chance to partner with Classroom Champions to bring a new learning experience to the school’s students. “So we found out who our athlete was and over the past few months they’ve been learning things from her like goal setting and other topics,” said Thiessen. Students were also able to interact with Schussler using blog posts, videos and Skype throughout the year, including during her
time in Sochi. “So she’s been communicating with the students all year long as well, she sends us videos, comments on their blogs and so we’ve gone back-and-forth all year long and the kids really feel that they know her and she’s their friend,” said Thiessen. That feeling just made it all the more special when Green Timbers was selected as one of the few schools in the Classroom Champions program to actually have their athlete flown out to their school to meet the students they’d been corresponding with all year.
Failure happens, there will always be days when you work really hard and you still fail. But it’s only a failure if you let it remain a failure. Principal John Horstead said both students and staff alike were overjoyed when they found out Schussler would be visiting. “We’re very excited to have Brittany visit Green Timbers,” he said. “She’s a true inspiration to the kids and has been all year long.” As a result of the program, Horstead said they’ve watched the students’ classroom engagement increase, as well as their technology and goal-setting skills. “They’re writing, blogging, posting, connecting, so this has been a wonderful
opportunity for them to grow and connect with an international athlete,” said Horstead. And after corresponding with Schussler for the past few months, the students were understandably happy to finally see their Classroom Champion in the flesh Friday. “The first day I heard of Brittany I almost fainted,” said one young female student during the school’s special assembly. “I learned that losing is winning and to always go for gold and give back to the community.” That message carried on as the key theme of Schussler’s speech to the students. “Failure happens, there will always be days when you work really hard and you still fail,” she said to the hundreds of students gathered. “But it’s only a failure if you let it remain a failure. If you look back at it and learn why it didn’t go well, you can twist it around and make it into something positive.” Thiessen said Schussler’s message was an important life lesson for kids to learn. “They were given an opportunity for role models, not just an athlete but a successful person and I think her most important message for all of us was that you need to fail,” said Thiessen. “Kids these days need to know that failure is an option and we need to learn to accept it and consider it a learning experience instead of something that’s undesirable. “It really built a strong community within our classroom and gave them values to live up to and I think all children in any school anywhere really need role models.” Classroom Champions is expected to expand to more Surrey schools in the coming school year. cpoon@thenownewspaper.com

Saturday, June 21 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., will be part of the city’s Doors Open event. It will take place on Grosvenor Road between King George and Whalley boulevards. The Whalley Community Association is working with the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement
Association and the Whalley Community Improvement Association to organize the event. The festival will include displays highlighting the history of the area, entertainment and food. There will even be a car show. If successful, the groups
hope to turn this festival into an annual event. Pete Nichols, with the WCIA, is helping organize the event, and he wants to see more attention paid to the area. “Surrey has so many festivals and there’s so much going on in the area up here, where the city hall is, and

the city wants all this stuff done at city hall in the plaza. They’re kind of forgetting that there’s another part of this area,” he said. Nichols hopes to bring some attention to Whalley, north of 104th Avenue. “The world doesn’t end at city hall. There’s more to the centre of the city than Central City mall. And that’s really the whole thing… The disappointment north of 104th (Avenue) has been neglected for 25, 30 years. There’s a lot of good businesses and good residents up in this area, and it’s time we had a little bit of good luck.” As for the historical element, Nichols said Whalley was one of the first populated areas in Surrey and the groups hope to showcase the area’s past. “It built from here out. If you look at Whalley’s background, it was strawberry fields and rhubarb fields and there was a huge chicken hatchery here and the Fraser River, the fishing industry took place right at the bottom of the hill.” Lucie Matich, with Whalley Community Association, and Penny Priddy, former Surrey North MP, have been putting together historical displays that will be showcased during the Whalley festival. Bonnie Burnside, with the WCA and the DSBIA, said the event will be a great opportunity for people to come out and see what Whalley is all about.

Kids-only ride planned by ambitious Surrey preteen Tom Zillich
Now staff Twitter @tomzillich
SURREY — Rachel Fitz saw firsthand the need for improved schools in Rwanda, where she lived with her family for three years. “The children who walked by our house each day on their way Rachel Fitz to school had so little,” she said, “and I wished there was something I could do to help them.” The Surrey girl, who turns 12 this month, will fulfill that wish during Rachel’s Ride for Rwanda, a kids-only fundraiser for
Wellspring Foundation’s efforts to improve education in the central-African nation. With her family, Rachel volunteered at Wellspring’s Lake2Lake ride in the Okanagan last fall and, on the drive home, hatched a plan for a similar, kids-only ride. “She’s just one of those kids who comes up with ideas, and this one stuck,” said her father, Mark Fitz. “We’re very proud of her.” On Saturday (June 7), a handful of preteen riders will gather at Derby Reach park in Langley for Rachel’s Ride for Rwanda, which has raised more than $2,400 to date. “We haven’t had the rider engagement we’d hoped for,” Mark said. “We wanted 50 (riders) but we’re at around eight or 10. If another three or four riders want to join, we would do our best to accommodate them.” Event details are at Rachelsride.ca.

From a mellow corner to a twist of fate JUST WIGGLE YOUR TOES: Cloverdale’s Kevin Brooks shares his message of pain, struggle, perseverance and ‘finding forgiveness and happiness in life’
S
kate or die. Famous words to live by for any anti-authority teenager living in suburbia, and ones that Kevin Brooks took to heart alongside various ’90s punk-rock lyrics. “High school was skateboarding every day, snowboarding whenever I could,” said Brooks. “Punk rock just changed my life in so many ways – every show I could go to, I was there crowdsurfing, stagediving, grabbing the mic, singing.” He was your typical skateboarding kid in a middleclass town, but what set him apart was his deserved nickname, “The Creature,” coined by his buddies. Brooks was a fast and loose party animal, usually the guy to make the umpteenth beer run and keep the party going when everyone else was checking out. His hard partying led to a number of close calls where he was lucky to escape – and one where he wasn’t so lucky. THE ACCIDENT
Saturday, June 24, 2000. A 21-year-old Brooks was drinking with friends at a late-night house party. Around 3 a.m., as things wound down, an intoxicated Brooks got behind the wheel of his 1991 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24, unsure whether or not to call it a night. He came to a literal crossroads at an intersection: turn right and go home less
STORY AND PHOTOS BY JACOB ZINN
Kevin Brooks, 35, used to live a pretty active life. That all changed after he drove drunk and crashed, causing a paralyzing spinal injury in himself and killing his friend Brendon Beuk in the passenger’s seat. than five minutes away, or turn left and party some more. With tunes cranked and beers cracked, he hit the gas and turned the steering wheel left, headed for another boozefuelled rager. But he never made it to the party. “It was a mellow corner – one I’d whipped around many times before,” he recalled.
That corner, in Cloverdale, is the last thing Brooks saw that night. Driving nearly double the 70 km/h speed limit, he lost control and hit the curb, launching his car end over end lengthwise until it stopped in a field on its roof. Seatbelted in upside-down, a bloody, unconscious Brooks had a collapsed lung, dislocated left shoulder, separated right shoulder and two busted collarbones.
One of his arms was torn to shreds from broken glass. Sirens wailed throughout the neighbourhood, awakening his mom, Ingrid Kozevnikov. She had a premonition those emergency response teams were for her son. “When I heard all the sirens, I knew it was Kevin,” she said. “It was just a sense I had.”

Have an issue or person you want us to focus on? Email ‘Now’ editor Beau Simpson at edit@thenownewspaper.com Knowing Brooks and his friends had gotten into accidents previously, she knew he was prone to tempting fate, but never thought he would get into a wreck of that magnitude. “In my heart it’s one thing, but in my head it’s another thing. I wasn’t so shocked by it, but I was shocked at the severity and the devastation of the crash.” Firefighters spent more than an hour removing him with the Jaws of Life – something of which Brooks has no memory. It wasn’t until after an induced coma and transfers between various intensive care units that he was able to communicate with his family and friends. He tried getting up. He tried moving his legs. He tried to, as he put it, just wiggle his toes. Nothing worked. Unable to move the lower half of his body, he asked what happened. His mom told him he had fractured his C6 and C7 vertebrae where his neck and back meet, damaging his spinal cord. He was paralyzed from the chest down. “Your life flashes before your eyes,” said Brooks. “Skateboarding, snowboarding, hockey, walking, sex, my job, driving – you go through every single thing that you’re not going to be able to do. It just feels like your world has completely ended.” But that hopeless feeling after learning he’d never walk again paled in comparison to the next thing his mom told him. Brendon Beuk, a childhood friend, was in the car with him. Beuk sustained a serious head injury. He didn’t survive. “When I found out about Brendon, that just hit so much harder,” said Brooks, exhaling deeply. While Brooks and Beuk had known each other from hockey as kids, they went to different high schools and drifted apart socially. Beuk dated Brooks’ oldest sister Allison, but they had split some time before the accident. It caught everyone off guard that Beuk was in the passenger’s seat. “Kevin had quit playing hockey a few years prior to that, and after Allison and Brendon had broken up, Kevin and Brendon just never saw each other,” said Kozevnikov. “We were shocked that it was Brendon who was in the car that night. Absolutely shocked.” “I never saw that one coming,” said Brooks, his voice breaking. “There’s nothing that could’ve prepared me for it.”
THE FORGIVENESS
The odds of Brooks regaining his health were not good. He was given a 20-to-30per-cent chance to live, but even as he got better, at times, he had a bleak outlook on life after the accident. It was hard to keep his spirits up, knowing his friend had died in the same car and he himself would never walk again. Reluctantly, he did physiotherapy at the GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre in Vancouver, and after months of hard work, his condition improved enough to make it home for Christmas. “We’re resilient. There’s a fight inside us to survive,” said Brooks looking back on that time.
Ingrid Kozevnikov shows off the tattoo on her foot next to her son Kevin Brooks’ wheelchair.
But while his body had been repaired physically, it took longer for his emotional scars to heal. During Brooks’ recovery, Beuk’s parents showed compassion and asked Brooks’ parents how he was doing. At Beuk’s funeral, while Brooks was clinging to life, they asked the attendees to pray for him. They left their phone number with Brooks’ family, asking for him to call. He waited weeks before dialling that number and trembled as he punched in the digits. When Beuk’s mom answered, Brooks identified himself and they burst into tears. The way Beuk’s parents saw it, both Brendon and Brooks made the choice to get behind the wheel that night. “‘He could’ve been driving you, it could’ve been reversed,’” Brooks recalled Beuk’s parents saying. “I’m still trying to wrap my head around that.” As a result of the crash, Brooks was charged with dangerous driving and impaired driving causing death. He pleaded guilty and waited 18 months before he got in front of a judge. “My future, it was really in his hands,” he said. “The judge said he saw a young man sitting in a wheelchair. “As the judge said, I’d already given myself a life sentence.” Before his sentencing, the courts reached out to Beuk’s family to see if they wanted to press charges. They wanted nothing. “They said I’d been through enough. They kept me out of jail and gave me a second chance. I owe so much gratitude. It allowed me to forgive myself.”
THE MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKING
“I remember just being outside one day thinking, I’ve got to go tell this story,” Brooks said. “I wasn’t even out of rehab yet and I was terrified of public speaking.” He started volunteering in his community, and through a series of fortuitous meetings with wheelchairbound Paralympian Rick Hansen and a former classmate’s younger brother – who coincidentally was struck and injured by a drunk driver in the same intersection of Brooks’ – he ended up speaking to kids about his accident. That led to a partnership with ICBC’s Road Safety speaking program for more than 10 years strong. Brooks, now 35, rolls into classrooms across North America in his wheelchair – decked out in punk rock stickers from his favourite bands,
including Pennywise, Rancid and Agent Orange – and warns teenagers not to make the same mistake he did. “They see me as a peer – they don’t see me as a teacher or a parent or an authority figure,” said Brooks, who’s still a teenager at heart. “It’s like the opposite of a Catch22. If I stay into all that young stuff, it makes it more relevant to the kids.” He reminds students to “just wiggle your toes,” referencing his attempt when he came to in hospital. That mantra influenced one girl in Summerland to get the words tattooed across her feet. Then another. Then Brooks had JWYT inked across his knuckles, and his mom and youngest sister each had the “just wiggle your toes” message tattooed on their feet. “She (the girl in Summerland) sent me the picture of it and I was like, ‘Whoa!’” he recalled. “That was beyond everything I ever imagined.” To date, Brooks has presented at more than 1,500 schools. His presentation touches on themes of bullying, self-harm and suicide, the latter one stemming from the death of a friend named Jordan, which Brooks found out about right before a presentation. “There was like 500 kids, and that presentation is emotional on the best of days,” he said. “I start bawling, the whole school’s looking at me, I haven’t even started talking. I had to address what was going on and it just opened up a whole new door of emails.” Not a day goes by that Brooks doesn’t receive emails (kevinbrooks@shaw. ca), tweets (@JustWiggleYourToes) and Facebook messages (Facebook. com/JustWiggleYourToes) from kids who have been inspired by his presentation or remembered his warning against drinking and driving. “A girl saw me in Ontario and she went home and told her little brother,” he said. “Years later, her little brother is 16, he’s out partying with his friends and they’re going to get in a car. He remembers his sister telling him about my presentation, so he doesn’t get in the car. They leave, they crash, one guy gets seriously hurt, the other guy dies. “The sister’s like, ‘I don’t know for sure, but you probably saved my little brother’s life.’”
A few key points really hit home with the youth, namely the photos of his totalled Cavalier – which solicit gasps throughout every audience he’s presented to – and the fact his youngest sister, Hayley, was only five at the time. “Because she was so young, that’s just always been something that just got everybody,” said Brooks. “It just kicks everyone’s butt and makes them cry at the end. And then her being a teenager and growing up while I’m doing this stuff, being the same age as the kids that I’m presenting to, she’s just a huge part of the story.” At every presentation, he keeps four empty chairs up at the front in memory of Beuk, Jordan and two other friends who passed away. Those friends are Chris Whitmee, who was killed in the bathroom of a Cloverdale bar – his murder is still unsolved – and Gord Couling, one of the first people Brooks met from ICBC, who died of cancer last year. “All these talks this year are dedicated in a big way to my buddy Gord,” said Brooks.
THE FUTURE
Brooks calls his story “a universal message of pain, struggle, perseverance and finding forgiveness and happiness in life.” He still thinks of the accident regularly and how it could have been prevented, but he recognizes the importance of his work with youth. “If I had one wish, it would just be that no one was with me,” he said of the crash. “I think I’d still end up in the same situation I’m in right now, but the only really true sad part of the story is the fact that Brendon was there. “I know what happened. I know it every day when I wake up and there’s a wheelchair beside me. But I’m here, so I have to do something with it.”

Kids have endured enough nonsense
M
any children headed to school Wednesday morning wrestling with the choice before them – either remain in class or walk out in protest against the deadlock between teachers and government. Many feared what consequences might lay ahead should they walk out, and that unknown no doubt informed some students’ decisions. Of those who chose to walk out – that is, those students who did so with resolution, rather than just taking advantage of an opportunity to skip class – it’s encouraging to note that they did so, not as Stockholm Syndrome victims parroting their teachers’ position, but rather as young citizens signaling that they are fed up with the role they’ve been cast as chips in this cynical poker game between union and employer. Consider the picket signs teachers have been carrying: “A Fair deal” in large letters, over “for teachers” in much smaller letters. This is followed by a secondary slogan that reads “better support” over, once again in large letters, “For Kids.” From any distance, the signs appear to read “a fair deal for kids.” Is that what all this is really about? It seems these protesting students have taken that particular picket sign’s message to heart, though perhaps not in a way the BCTF had intended. Ultimately, students should not be punished for engaging, with integrity, in non-violent civil disobedience when they see their elders behaving like petulant children in a schoolyard scrap over – let’s be serious – teachers’ wages. A staged walk out should be done only as a last resort, and arguably, the students have endured enough nonsense to warrant such action. The Now
Your view
Parents must stand up for our teachers The Editor, We entrust to teachers our most precious resource, our children. They develop their academic, social and emotional cognition. Is this easy? Teaching is the second most stressful job in the world yet it is disrespected by the Liberals and certain media. Parents must stand up for teachers. Our children no longer sit in quiet rows taking in information and regurgitating. Teaching is hard work, often with less family time and failed health. Stand in a classroom. You will realize how draining and complicated the profession has become. Teachers teach self-development, critical thinking, cooperation and citizenship, yet they are valued by the public for daycare and on the first whiff of job action, criticism begins. We forget that, in a classroom, there are
individual learning styles and differences, multiple intelligences and differentiated instruction. Size and composition matter! ADHD, new language learners, hearts from broken homes and poverty, special needs with autism, Asperger’s, pervasive developmental disorders, apraxia, aphasia and written output disorder. Still think composition does not matter? A severely learning disabled child can learn with one-on-on-one daily teaching. Or he/she becomes a child with a learning problem, affecting all learners. Specialist ratios are a must. (See related letter on page 13.) A gifted child can be tomorrow’s leader – or a drop out from boredom and lack of special programs. When the average case load of a specialist teacher hits more than 30, it becomes unworkable. Exceptional kids have been neglected for 12 years. Yet there
is no talk of ratios on the government side. Bureaucrats and politicians are entrusted with making important decisions about our children focusing on the almighty dollar. Our premier does not understand why teachers are different from other professionals nor does she seem to respect public education as she threatens with tax increases. Lock out, roll back, legislate. Punishing those who give of their time freely because they care is mean and unproductive to both teachers and children. Please bring justice for kids and teachers as the court has twice ordered. Bargain in good faith for classroom size and composition, specialist teacher ratios and bring up B.C. teacher wages with the rest of Canada. Niovi Patsicakis, Surrey

Suitably motivated, I found myself roaming the streets of Gastown recently after wandering along the seawall through Coal Harbour. As it happened, the cruise ships were in town, bringing with them an endless parade of tourists. They flocked to the T-shirt shops or waited expectantly by the steam clock, while others parked themselves in sidewalk cafes. Now, along with the tourists, there was also another noticeable presence that day – the pungent, skunky aroma of British Columbia’s most lucrative cash crop. So I should not have been surprised when, while waiting at a traffic light, a fellow with a thick European accent turned and asked me if marijuana was legal here. Being the helpful local, I did my best to
answer as truthfully as possible. “I don’t know.” “Sorry,” the fellow replied. “I thought you were from here.” “I am,” I said, “but I really can’t tell if the stuff is legal or illegal anymore. It depends on who and where you are.” And as I crossed the street, I left the poor soul just as bewildered as I found him. In today’s Canadian society, demon weed just isn’t as evil as it once was. Where there was once a time when the only whiff of pot smoke we caught was at concerts, the distinct smell is now just as likely to drift past our noses outside hockey rinks and baseball diamonds, in public parks, while walking through a neighbourhood or exploring the great outdoors at campgrounds. Police insist marijuana is illegal and spend countless millions demolishing grow ops and arresting dealers and users alike. At the same time, police officers block off traffic on public streets to ease access for people joining in on the annual 4/20 pot smoke-ins each April. Medical marijuana clinics are becoming increasingly common for those savvy enough to acquire a permit and there
are now vending machines in approved dispensaries that offer a wide selection of pot strains. Just minutes away across the U.S. border, Washington State is taking steps to implement regulations allowing the sale of marijuana to any adult looking to indulge in the hippie lettuce, while thousands of Canadians face endless hassles crossing that same border because of simple pot possession charges at some point in their youth. If anything, legal access to marijuana is about to get easier. Up until this year, Canadians could only legally gain access to the coveted weed if they were approved as treatment for a medical condition. That process was a long and tedious one through the federal government’s Health Canada bureaucracy. As of April 1, however, that power has been transferred to doctors, who can issue permission for medical marijuana use directly to their patients. According to the Province newspaper, there are roughly 40,000 Canadians licensed to use medicinal marijuana, but that number is expected to explode by a multiple of 10 in the next decade. That’s right, almost half a
million people in this country could freely indulge in the mystical herb without the legal consequences faced by the rest of the population. And the people charged with screening who gets access to government pot and who takes their chances with the skuzzy dope dealer hanging out by the SkyTrain station? Doctors – medical professionals who, I suspect, have much better things to do with their time. At this point, the difference between a drug-addled criminal and a good citizen looking to relax is one has a note from his doctor. So what is it? If marijuana is legal, treat it like other government controlled substances such as alcohol and tobacco: Limit access to adults only and tax the living bejeebers out of it. If, however, it’s illegal, then cut out the nonsense and make it illegal for everyone – no exceptions. This ongoing charade is no longer amusing and the public money used to stage the ongoing morality play can definitely be put to better use by all levels of government.

Laser therapy is not a surgical or invasive process. There is no cutting or burning with this type of laser. Instead, it gets absorbed by soft tissue and joints. This stimulates the healing process by increasing the production of ATP(adenosine triphosphate). ATP is the simple fuel that cells need to heal injuries and resolve inflammation. Laser therapy can also reduce scar tissue formation, increase lymphatic drainage and improve vascular circulation. All these things lead to faster and improved healing.

Specialists needed in Surrey schools The Editor, Re: “Both sides deserve detention,” the Now editorial, June 3. As our Surrey teachers are in their second week of job action, I feel compelled to share our son’s story. In the mid ’90s, while in Grade 5, he was diagnosed as “severely learning disabled.” Immediately, significant learning assistance was made available to him. In Grade 8, he entered North Surrey Secondary and was registered in the CELD program. This was a program
whereby he received supports such as scribes, the use of a computer, learning assistance help, and an exemption from taking French. The teachers in the CELD program taught him coping strategies and instilled in him an awareness that “learns differently” did not need to be a barrier for him. Our son’s academic journey has continued to the point where he is now working on completing his Ph.D. in Anthropology at Carleton University in Ottawa. It is my strong belief that the support he received while a student in Surrey was crucial to him being able to achieve his dream of becoming a university professor. Sadly, the CELD program and many others like it have fallen victim to chronic underfunding of our school system. How many children will be denied the chance our son had before

DEBATE Letters
Taxpayers’ ability to pay must drive BCTF debate The Editor, On a recent trip to White Rock, where I lived for 20 years from the late ’60s thru the ’80s, I was interested to see the “same old, same old” issues affecting folks in 2014 as they did back in the day – school board budget deficits, municipal workers’ strike for a better compensation package, teacher bargaining impasse over salaries and working conditions, etc. etc. Whether it’s health, education, welfare, transit or any other public purse expense, it’s the taxpayers’ ability to pay that must drive the debate. As ever, all public revenue comes first and foremost from the sale of goods and services to willing purchasers. Only after the purchase of something of value do taxation pools from income, GST and or real estate taxes arise as a secondary revenue source. Thus, if commercial sales of goods and services do not keep pace with public sector spending demands, there must be a reckoning of priorities – if more for education then perhaps less for health or social services and maybe less still for
transportation and/or a reduction in capital project investments. Without those kinds of priority choices, the government must mortgage the province by borrowing money from investors and generating downstream debtloads for our children and our children’s children and so on for generations to come. The solution to our school district’s budget issue and teacher compensation problems is not a simple, “Throw money at it to make it stop,” as some suggest. The only truly relevant question is, “Where does the money come from, ” followed by, “How,” followed by “Why?” Triangulating any of the noted issues in this way for public debate is the only way to achieve insight and discernment at what the appropriate answer(s) might be. And that’s what we collectively elect our legislatures, councils and boards to do on our behalf. May they ever act wisely and discreetly in how they spend the money we taxpayers give them in trust.

many bouquets of dark pink roses to the automatic professionalism of nurses in the orange section of e3 at Surrey Memorial Hospital. Special shout out to rumen, TJ, Jason, david, Alyson, Kamal, edgar, Mandeep, laura and a few on e5, a porter and a scan technician. A beautiful pink rose to the gentleman who was in front of me in the Starbucks line-up on May 29. After placing my order i drove up to the window to pay for my drink but i was told that my drink had been paid for by the “gentleman” who was in front of me. i was absolutely touched that someone i did not know could be so kind as to brighten my day with such a lovely gesture. i tried to catch up to you to say thank you but obviously to no avail, so i say it to you now. Thank you for the cup of coffee and the smile you put on my face. i am looking forward to the opportunity to do the same for someone i don’t know. Armfuls of red roses to the person who left a trail of single red roses against trees in Tynehead park. They were surely for someone very special but they gave all of us smiles, conversation, and wonder about the story behind them. Thank you! many roses to all the Fraser valley Heritage railway volunteers for the great showing in promoting the Cloverdale Station on May 24 and 25. There was no track access for Car 1225 to run from Cloverdale to Sullivan station that weekend. However, the station was open with car barn tours, speeder rides, 1225 tours, museum information and friendly informative volunteers. Well done! We’ll be back to ride car 1225. Roses to the talented drama students at north Surrey Secondary school for their amazing production of “Grease.” it was clear from the play how hard everyone worked! Well done!
Rotten tomatoes to the Corporation of delta for not mowing the grass at the dog park on Westview drive. it is so high that my dog disappears into the grass jungle. i can no longer throw a ball or give my pooch the exercise he needs. Why bother setting up these dog parks if you’re not prepared to maintain them? Rotten tomatoes to the City of Surrey for prohibiting dogs on the walkway at Crescent beach from May 15 to Sept. 15 each year. The City of vancouver allows dogs on the seawall and beach walkways year round. Surrey should follow vancouver’s lead and be more dog friendly. Rotten tomatoes to the young guy who walked in to our car port and stole two large jerry cans full of gas. our neighbour watched and yelled at him but he would not stop. We go to blaine for gas to save money. if you need gas, get a job and buy it, not steal it. Rotten tomatoes and festering apples to picketing teachers who dive out into traffic lanes with their signs, trying to coerce a honk out of me. Grow up, you’re going to kill someone. Rotten tomatoes to all the longboard haters! “no longboarding” signs have been posted on low-traffic streets. if children aren’t allowed to take risks early on in life, how can we expect them to become creative risk-taking innovators? participaction recently released a report indicating the rate of inactivity and obesity in Canadian children is at an all-time high. Some people believe longboarding is a dangerous activity but do you know what else is dangerous? Sitting around playing on an ipad until you’re 12. is longboarding really any more of a hazard than a kid or adult riding down a hill on a bike? let’s not shut down the longboarders. roses to the kids who longboard!

Margaret Woods announces election run in White Rock
WHITE ROCK — With the White Rock civic worker strike now over and all back in action, the city is asking residents to be patient as full services are reintroduced. With employees back at work as of June 3, all city buildings shut down for the strike are now open. Those buildings are the White Rock Community Centre, Centennial Arena, the Kent Street Activity Centre and the operations and engineering facilities. For waste pick up, residents will be permitted to put out extra garbage, recycling and green waste on their regularly scheduled day for the next two weeks. Overflow waste will not require tags during this period. Commercial recycling will resume next week. Finally, leisure classes, programs and events are all back up and running. Facility rentals are being honoured and anyone wishing to may make new bookings. Any classes affected by the job action will be credited to the user’s account and refunds are available by contacting leisure services. For more information on the resumption of services, go to whiterockcity.ca.
WHITE ROCK — The election season in White Rock has gotten off to an early start with former councillor Margaret Woods announcing she intends to run in this fall’s election. Woods sat on council from 2002 to 2005 and later ran for mayor in 2005, but was unsuccessful. Since then, Woods has been actively involved in White Rock’s political scene, often attending meetings and community events and asking questions during council’s question period. “I felt the time was right,” she said. “There is just so much upheaval in this city that’s been going on for some time and so I figured instead of just watching Margaret Woods what’s going on in council that I would really like to participate and do what I can for the people of White Rock.” Woods said the key points she’d like to address are “overtaxation, over-densification and accountability for our taxes.” Asked if she would be running for a position on council or for mayor, she said, “I haven’t made my mind up on that.” Christopher Poon

Briefly
Pedestrian killed while crossing street SURREY — A 52-year-old has died after being struck by a vehicle in the 8200 block of 128 street Monday (June 2). According to Surrey RCMP, police responded to a vehicle collision reported at 2 p.m. after a man was struck by a black Acura while attempting to cross the street. The victim was not in a crosswalk at the time. Police say the driver of the Acura, a 17year-old male, stopped at the scene and was co-operating with polce and that drugs and alchol were not beleived to be a factor in the crash. The victim was rushed to Royal Columbian Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Two of the RCMP’s crash teams are currently investigating the incident and are asking anyone with further information who has not already spoken police to contact them at 604-599-0502 or anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Scholarship honours Laura Szendrei SURREY — Laura Szendrei’s name will live on in the halls of academia with a scholarship in her name at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU). The Laura Szendrei Memorial Endowed Scholarship was created through a $20,000 donation that will establish a lifetime of financial support for Delta youth in the young girl’s memory. The endowment was raised through a community-wide fundraising and awareness initiative, which includes the yearly Walk, Run and Roll event, held last Sunday at North Delta Secondary. It will fund an annual $1,000 scholarship for a student enrolled in a KPU program who is passionate about giving back to others. “Laura was kind, gregarious yet humble, and a hard-working, kindhearted young woman,” said schoolmate Kirsten Martin. Szendrei was a grade 10 Frenchimmersion Burnsview student who was murdered in September 2010.

Three terms enough for trustee Reni Masi Christopher Poon
Now staff Twitter @questionchris
SURREY — Three-term school trustee Reni Masi will not seek re-election this fall. The 80-year-old trustee has decided to leave the world of politics and education after a storied career that included 15 years as a teacher (during which he taught current education minister Peter Fassbender), 20 years as a principal, nine years as an MLA for Delta North and of course, the past nine as a Surrey trustee. “Eighteen years in public life is enough,” said Masi Tuesday. “Much like the mayor (Dianne Watts) who decided on the same thing, I feel you can pretty much do all you need to in three terms.” Asked about his time with the school district, Masi said he was most proud about the implementation of the Community Schools Partnership and International Baccalaureate programs during his term. “The community schools is a fine program and one of the best in province,”
he said. “We started from zero nine years ago and it’s grown into a really a fine service for the community.” During his time on the board of education, Masi saw Surrey grow to well Reni Masi over 70,000 students and saw the issue of overcrowding become center stage for the district. “And that’s what we’re dealing with now, catching up with the school building programs and the province,” he said. Masi said incoming changes to local elections played the final role in his decision against running again as terms will move from three years to four for all local elections. “I think the four-year term was the final determination for me,” he said. “I didn’t want to go four more years, that’s just too long.” cpoon@thenownewspaper.com

NEW WESTMINSTER — The boyfriend of a Surrey woman accused of stabbing her best female friend 41 times in his house said the place looked like a hurricane had hit it. Jessica Ashley Hanley, 25, is being tried for second-degree murder in the death of 23-year-old Burnaby resident Tashina Rae Sutherland, killed inside a small rancher at 10593 138th St. in Whalley on April 26, 2012. Hanley’s boyfriend testified Monday, in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. The witness asked not to be identified out of

The 38-year-old Whalley resident, a construction worker originally from Quebec, said he’d met Hanley four months before the “incident” and that they’d been living together for three months. He said he knew Sutherland for about as long as he’d known Hanley and she’d visit the couple at least twice a week. “They were best friends, like sisters.” The night before Sutherland was killed, he said, the three of them were drinking coolers and beers and he’d bought a half-gram of cocaine and gave it to Sutherland.

the court he didn’t use any himself. The witness said he went to bed at about 11 p.m. because he had to get up for work at 6 a.m., while the women carried on. The next day, he said, he received a barrage of text messages from Hanley while he was at work, which he didn’t pay much attention to. At one point, he said, Hanley told him “I’m going to hurt Tashina,” but he couldn’t remember if that one was a phone call or a text message. The boyfriend testified he got home from work at about 3:30 p.m. Clothing was all over the floor, furniture was moved around and the windows were covered up with

I didn’t want to believe it.” He then returned to the living room, where Hanley was sitting in a chair. “I asked her ‘Why? What was the meaning to the madness? Why did you do it?” Hanley allegedly replied, “It’s so stupid, I’m not even going to tell you.” The trial continues. tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

Man who lured, abused girl ‘destroyed’ family Tom Zytaruk
Now staff Twitter @tomzytaruk
SURREY — The Crown is seeking a two-year prison sentence and three years probation for a Utah man who sexually abused a 12-year-old Surrey girl. There is a publication ban on naming, or publishing any information that would identify the girl. The girl was not in court during the hearing. Kevin Douglas Knowlton, 33, a computer software engineer from Salt Lake City, met the girl through a computer game. The court heard she told him her parents beat her, and he directed her to communicate with him in another chat room. He came to Surrey, and they met. He made five trips, staying at a hotel on King George Boulevard. She would sneak out of her house to stay with him there. Her parents caught her, she revealed what was going on, and they took her to the Surrey RCMP. “The parents understandably became extremely distraught,” said Crown
prosecutor Winston Sayson, as he made his submissions Friday. Knowlton was arrested at the hotel and has yet to be sentenced after pleading guilty to luring, sexual interference and making child pornography. He had recorded the sexual abuse, thus the latter charge. He was set to appear in Surrey provincial court Monday to confirm his sentencing hearing will continue on June 11, when his defence lawyer Isaac Ferbey will make his submissions. The court heard Knowlton’s dad is a polygamist with 58 children and he is the youngest of 15 children by his dad’s fifth wife, who’d married when she was 14 Sayson read a victim impact statement the girl’s mother prepared on her behalf. “This man has single-handedly destroyed my family,” she wrote. Sayson said Knowlton has a very high sex drive and deep-seated addiction to pornography for which he voluntarily had himself castrated a few months before meeting the girl.

Victoria-based airbrush artist Paul Archer reveals the new mural he created for the entrance of the Urban Safari Rescue Society building, on 176th Street in South Surrey, during an unveiling event on May 25. The four murals were commissioned to reflect “the animal life which is the centre of the society’s mission.” Word is that Archer, known for his work for big-time rock bands, will also be doing a large-scale version of Grant Wood’s famous “American Gothic” on the side of a barn on the site.

EWTON — David Dalley believes great neighbours make great neighbourhoods. Get to know each other, look out for each other and help each other achieve a safe and friendly neighbourhood. Dalley, along with a few friends, created Friends of the Grove, an impromptu collection of Newton neighbours dedicated to improving the image of Newton as a great neighbourhood. The Grove is a stand of mature cedar trees located just outside Newton Recreation Centre and bus loop. A gravel pathway winds its way through these majestic trees. On May 3, Dalley and his Friends held a Gathering at the Grove, with music, art and people. The aim is to make this Grove a friendly place, a place where people can meet and greet other

people. It was a huge success and got good media coverage; you can catch coverage on the CTV and Global news websites. There is a lovely sign made by Friends of the Grove posted when the Friends are in the Grove: “Park Suggestions: Don’t be mean, Smile at others, Say “hello”. For info, call on a friend. Bylaw #00000.” You can probably tell by the bylaw number that this project is not funded by the city. Help comes from friends and neighbours. This past Sunday was a terrifically beautiful, sunny day. Dalley decided it would be a great day to have some music in the Grove. He scrambled to find a keyboard, and Carillon Music kindly and quite generously donated the use of a Kawai keyboard, plus all the electrical cords needed. Thank you, Carillon. I made a stop at the Grove on the way to the pool, with grandchildren in tow. They all took turns at the keyboard, were all deemed “talented,” and they enjoyed the experience. Well, they should be accomplished. Their father (my son) began see › page 36

Dear parents/community members, BC students now receive $1,000 less than the national average, and we have the worst student-educator ratio in the country. BC students and families deserve better!
What can we do to help support public education? • Visit www.aFairDeal.ca for information; you can also quickly and easily “have your say” in a preformatted letter to the Minister of Education and your MLA. • Read Better Schools for BC: The numbers tell the story to understand underfunding of BC schools. http://www.bctf.ca/IssuesInEducation.aspx?id=29502 • Join the Facebook group called “Education Rallies in BC” to participate in rallies in our area.
And most of all… Please come out to a joint rally with teachers and parents on June 7th! Show your support for your child’s teachers and for public education.

government funding. Surrey is blessed with plenty of people doing creative things, and the result is a vibrant and active community-theatre scene with many choices of great live theatre. Funding is always a problem, unless you are lucky enough to get government grants. As we have all noticed, government grants can be given – or taken away – quite easily. Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society says “The critics love us!” Putting on my critic’s hat, I have to agree. Their last production, HMS Pinafore, was one of the best I’ve ever seen. But, despite what this group calls “heroic efforts to save money and still put on an excellent show, our productions do not make enough money to break even.” Right now, they do receive some of this mystical government funding (much appreciated, by the way), but it is best if you don’t have to rely

on anything but your own efforts. So, let’s talk about fundraising. A creative group has a creative solution. FVGSS is hosting “The Great Canadian Ceilidh” on June 14 at North Delta’s Firehall Centre of the Arts. This absolutely fabulous evening of entertainment will cost you only $10 to get in. Music by Adrian Duncan and members of Skystone. The music will feature just about every iconic Canadian folk artist. It should be a stompin’ good time. Want to get tickets? Contact the FVGSS at fvgssinformation@ gmail.com. Worthy project, and if the society could raise even a few thousand dollars each year, they would not have to rely on government funding. Just volunteers to run the show and “bums in seats.” Go to the ceilidh – even if you don’t know how to pronounce the word.

High school
WRCA’s Johnston soars to provincial medals Michael Booth
Now staff Twitter @boothnow
Glen Johnston flew higher than the competition on two occasions at the 2014 B.C. High School Track and Field Championships in Langley last weekend. The White Rock Christian Academy senior came into the meet as the favourite in the senior boys’ pole vault event and he didn’t disappoint, soaring 3.7 metres to win the gold medal. “I was kind of expecting to win gold,” Johnston said. “I had been jumping really well coming into the meet so I went into the provincials hoping for gold. I went into it with the mindset that I had to compete as hard as I could and that worked out for me.” That was Johnston’s second winning leap of the week. Earlier in the week in the decathlon competition, Johnston cleared 3.8 metres to win the pole vault segment en route to a silver medal. The two medals allowed him to take bragging rights in the Johnston household. “This is really exciting for me,” he said. “I have two older brothers (Carl and Blair) who won silver and bronze at provincials. One of them won gold in the 4x400-metre relay, but I’m the first to win gold in an individual event.” Unfortunately, Johnston was the only senior athlete from Surrey, White Rock and North Delta to win a gold at this year’s provincial
Elgin Park’s Jake Hanna (left), shown here in the senior boys’ 400m final, captured three silver medals at the B.C. High School Track and Field Championships in Langley last weekend. (Photo: GORD GOBLE) meet. One athlete looking for the silver lining in his results was Elgin Park’s Jake Hanna. The Elgin Park Grade 11 runner medaled every time he stepped on the track,
collecting a trio of silver medals. Hanna placed second in the senior boys’ 400-metre event and then added identical medals for the 400m hurdles and the 200m sprint.
“I’m happy with how I did, but it was a little rough,” Hanna said. “The heat for the 200m and my final for the 400m hurdles was back-to-back — there wasn’t any
races between them so I had less that 10 minutes to recover from one race before the other started. “I guess I shouldn’t have run the 200m, but I thought there would be more time between the races. My hurdles race really wasn’t that great because I wasn’t feeling my best. It was a good workout though.” Junior competition (Grades 9 and 10) yielded five gold medals for Surrey-area schools. Semiahmoo’s Jessica Williams took top honours for the junior girls’ 400m and then helped the Totems nab another gold medal in the junior girls’ 4x400m relay. Semiahmoo also prevailed in the junior girls’ 4x100m relay final. Earl Marriott’s Jade Duncanson dashed to gold in the junior girls’ 100m final while Jero Abad won gold for Holy Cross in the junior boys’ high jump with a leap of 1.85 metres. In the Grade 8 segment of the meet, Katarina Vlahovic of Fraser Heights could not be caught as she took top honours for both the 100m and 200m sprint races. Other Grade 8 gold medal winners included Kyle Gibson of Seaquam (boys’ 400m); Alexa Porpaczy of Semiahmoo (girls’ high jump); and Jaxon Mackie of Earl Marriott (boys’ 3,000m). The Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers team of Janet Cho, Ella Cathcart, Anika Hart and Halle Lauringer finished atop the podium for the Grade 8 girls’ 4x100m relay.
Badminton
Record-setting start carries Firehawks to championship Michael Booth
Now staff Twitter @boothnow
For the second time in three years, the Fraser Heights Firehawks are perched atop the high school badminton world following a dominating performance at the provincial championships in Richmond last weekend. The Firehawks soared to the title in record-breaking fashion, winning 44 consecutive matches to open the tournament and tie the provincial record for wins through the quarter-final round. The Firehawks then set a new provincial tournament record by improving their results to 52-3 by the end of the Friday’s semifinal round. Fraser Heights’ final win-loss record of 58-8 fell one match short of the all-time provincial standard set by H.J. Cambie (597) in 1999.
“It means a great deal to the kids because this is their season-long goal,” said Firehawks coach David Dryden of the school’s second provincial title. “The culture within Fraser Heights is that it is a badminton school and this is the pinnacle for the high school level. They worked hard for this all year and this is a reward for all that work.” The Firehawks were led by national players James Ho (under-19) and Jenna Wong (U-16). Ho was the only player to go undefeated during provincials. Fraser Heights blew through the roundrobin portion of the 16-team tournament on Thursday, sweeping matches against Prince of Wales, Richmond and Sa-Hali. The Firehawks kept the momentum going Friday by beating the Semiahmoo Totems 11-0 in the quarter-final round and then outlasting Pinetree 8-3 in the semifinals to
reach the championship final for the third consecutive year.
The culture within Fraser Heights is that it is a badminton school and this is the pinnacle for the high school level. In the final against a composite team from Crofton House (girls) and St. George’s (boys), the Firehawks faced their toughest competition of the weekend. The Firehawks earned mixed results through the first five rounds of the competition, winning all five boys’ matches, but losing all five girls’ matches. The duos of Jenkin Chu/Daryl
Yang and Isaac Chang/Muen Guo each won two boys’ doubles matches while Ho powered his way through the singles event. The tournament came down to the mixed doubles event where Ho and Wong teamed up to beat their St. Georges/Crofton House rivals in straight sets, 21-13, 21-16 to clinch the coveted blue championship banner. “The performance of the team at this year’s championships was phenomenal,” Dryden said. “They really peaked at the right time, coming through and winning the provincial championship in a mirror-image final of last year, all while ending one match short of the all-time win-loss record. “I am really proud of the work ethic of the team and the six rookies. Everyone pulled together when it was needed most and earned revenge for last year’s heart-breaking defeat. These are the moments that make everything worthwhile.”

High school rugby
Heartbreaking loss leaves Earl Marriott sixth overall Michael Booth
Now staff Twitter @boothnow
The Earl Marriott Mariners ran aground in the quarter-finals and ended up back where they started, settling for sixth place at the B.C. High School Senior Boys Rugby Championships in Abbotsford last week. Runners-up to Robert Bateman in the Fraser Valley AAA finals, the Mariners were hoping for a better fate at the provincials where they were seeded sixth. Earl Marriott opened the B.C. showcase by crushing Handsworth 43-15. Heartbreak awaited in
their next match, however, as Oak Bay rallied to steal a win in the dying minutes of their quarter-final match. The Mariners were clinging to a 13-12 lead when Oak Bay struck for a converted try to escape with a 19-13 win. “Oh man, it is so frustrating,” said Mariners coach Adam Roberts. “We dominated possession time, territory and everything else and then right at the end the win is snatched away from us. “The kids have worked so hard this year and to see them lose such a close game is hard to accept. The kids
really deserved better after all the effort they put into it.” Earl Marriott bounced back to beat Carson Graham 17-5 before closing out the tourney with a 32-6 loss to Bateman in the fifth-place game. The Semiahmoo Totems doubled up on Gleneagle 24-12 in their final game
to finish in 14th place. The Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers were two steps ahead, beating Handsworth 36-22 to finish 12th overall. Meanwhile in class AA competition, the Southridge Storm compiled a 3-1 record at the provincials to finish fifth overall. Southridge downed Kalamalka 29-10 in their
tournament opener, but dropped their second game 46-3 to West Vancouver powerhouse Rockridge, the eventual provincial champions. The Storm rallied to blank D.W. Poppy 20-0 in their next outing before finishing with a 24-19 win over Mulgrave in the game to determine fifth place.
The kids have worked so hard this year and to see them lose such a close game is hard to accept.

Hockey
Change brewing for Valley West Hawks Change is the order of the day in the nest of the Valley West Hawks as the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League heads into the summer months. The biggest change comes at the top where head coach Tom Spencer has left the club to take an assistant coaching position with the B.C. Hockey League’s Surrey Eagles. Under Spencer’s guidance, the Hawks enjoyed their most successful seasons the past two years, highlighted by a run to the semifinals this spring. The Hawks stretched the eventual champion Okanagan Rockets to the full three games in the best-of-three semifinal before being eliminated. Spencer hands his whistle off to Jessie Leung, who spent the last three years as an assistant with the Hawks. “He’s a big guy and he definitely has some big shoes to fill,” Leung said of Spencer. “I’m ready for this. I definitely learned a lot working with Tom and I’m excited for him and his new opportunity. His move comes at an opportune time for me because I feel ready to step in and build on the success we’ve had the last couple of seasons.” The 28-year-old Leung said his two seasons at Spencer’s side was a great experience in his development as a coach, most importantly about preparation and team maturity. Perennial BCMML powers such as the Rockets and the Vancouver Northwest Giants find their strength in their consistency. Those teams are ready to go at the start of the season and get a jump on their rivals by piling up points early in the campaign when other teams are still finding their footing. “For us to get to the level where we are winning one-goal games instead of losing or tying them, it takes consistency right from the start of the year,” Leung said. “The last two years we’ve had a lot of returning players and that helped the maturation process of the team. We were ready to go at the start of the season instead of hemorrhaging points early in the year until we got going.” Leung and the Hawks are facing another challenge this season after the team’s feeder system was altered. In the first 10 years of the league, the Hawks drew players from the Semiahmoo, Cloverdale, Surrey and Langley minor hockey associations. Langley has now been shifted in the catchment of the Fraser Valley Chiefs and will be replaced by with North Delta Minor Hockey.

‘Designer Kitchen Tour’ on the Peninsula Saturday
WHITE ROCK and SOUTH SURREY — If you’ve ever wanted to stick your head into a brand new kitchen, meet the designers and talk about current trends and products, this is your kind of event. Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary is hosting its popular Designer Kitchen Tour on Saturday, June 7, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Owners of seven homes – both new and newly renovated – located in White Rock and South Surrey have agreed to open their doors to the public for the tour, which benefits Peace Arch Hospital. Tour participants can pick up some fresh decorating ideas and also satisfy their curiosity. “We all want to poke into
We want to take you on a journey. No, really, we want to take you on an ACTUAL journey, to ACTUAL Hawaii. We’re talking round-trip airfare for two, accommodation and an incredible culinary experience in paradise. We’ll go ahead and get your lei and piña colada ready.
We’ve had groups of women who make a day of it (in the past), touring the kitchens and going for lunch, as well as couples looking for ideas for their kitchens.… nice homes,” said LaVerne Hogg, a member of the society. All of the homes on the tour have been designed and installed by Pacific Rim Cabinets, a Surrey company that has designed kitchens in Georgie award-winning homes. The tours are self-guided, and people go at their own pace. Each ticket is $25, which gives the buyer a map of the homes and an entry to win a door prize.

We’ve even had architects and other professionals tour our kitchens.” Tickets for the tour can be purchased at the hospital gift shop, or by calling Alicia (604-536-5634) or LaVerne (604-535-2408).
