Langley teen China-bound to help disabled kids Kevin Lee is part of a team set to meet the Chinese government in support of social welfare Ronda Payne

G
rade 12 student Kevin Lee is getting ready for a cross-China trip at the end of the month with 24 other like-minded youth. The Langley resident and student of Walnut Grove Secondary became a member, and took on the leadership roll, of the Langley branch of SDC Blue Ribbon Foundation International in September of 2013. SDC stands for social diversity for children and the youth-run organization, a registered non-profit, focuses on fundraising and activities to create a cohesive and inclusive community locally and globally. “I’ve always been interested in humanitarian causes,” said Lee about why he joined the organization, “from volunteering at our school clubs and leading some
of them, to working for a BC Children’s Hospital fundraiser. Joining the SDC Blue Ribbon Foundation was one of those steps I took to help out in the community.”’ When the founder of SDC International, David Wang, went to China and experienced the lack of support, services, and compassion for children with disabilities in the country, he came back to Canada and founded the organization. It was this primary trip that inspired Lee’s upcoming trip set for July 27 to Aug. 15. “He [David Wang, on his trip] got to see how the kids were treated there and how only a few people would stand up for them. Those few people made all the difference though,” Lee said. “Now that the organization has been running for four years, with programs and events all over North America, we all want to start making global change as well. We are visiting China first as they are really making an effort to improve their social welfare policies for children with disabilities.” The plans for the trip are twofold: youth empowerment and disability justice. “We will be negotiating with the Chinese government to improve the social welfare policies currently in place for children
Langley’s Kevin Lee: “I hope to make a positive impact by becoming friends with everyone – people of any ability.” with disabilities,” Lee noted. “We hope to implement more youth-empowering alternative therapy or social programs for children with disabilities. In addition, we will be volunteering at autism rehabilitation centres and schools for children with disabilities and visiting international schools to speak with high school students about youth leadership and advocacy.”

Initially, Lee’s parents thought his involvement in the trip was “unnecessary” due to his ongoing help with disabled children in Canada, but he explained, “I want to see how people with disabilities are treated differently across different cultures and I want to help take the next step towards reforming the faults in different cultures in mistreating the disabled.” While there are some programs in China for children with disabilities, Lee noted that there aren’t enough. “Most of them are not generally customized to the child,” he said. “We hope to change that and make social programs and events more accessible for everyone by sharing the experience we’ve gained in North America.” When asked what he hopes to gain from embarking on the trip, Lee responded, “I hope to gain new friends, both from North America and from China. SDC’s dream is to eradicate the stigma on disabilities by creating friendships between people with disabilities and people without. “I hope to make a positive impact by becoming friends with everyone – people of any ability.”

Roundup gives unwanted cats a second chance

U
nwanted kittens and cats were given the gift of a potential new home, and a happy life, Saturday at the Patti Dale Animal Shelter in Aldergrove. The Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS) hosted a Kitten Roundup. Pet owners were invited to turn in unwanted kittens and receive free spay/neuter vouchers. Kittens, moms and moms-to-be were dropped off at LAPS Patti Dale Animal Shelter for free, with no questions asked. Those who couldn’t get to the shelter were able to text their kittens’ location to LAPS’ kitten roundup hotline and the local animal welfare group dispatched a team to collect the kittens and drop off spay/neuter vouchers. The shelter took in 28 kittens, five nursing moms, and two pregnant moms who will likely have four to six kittens each. “It was an awesome day,” LAPS manager of animal welfare Jayne Nelson said. The humane treatment of kittens made headlines recently, after 10 of them were found in a sealed box behind a church in Langley City. Three escaped when a Good Samaritan heard a noise inside and opened the box. One of the remaining seven never recovered from the ordeal and died shortly after being taken to LAPS. Of the surviving kittens from that litter, one’s been adopted and five more will be spayed or neutered for adoption purposes. On July 14, it happened again when a batch of kittens were found in a Rubbermaid container at Aldergrove Lake Park. “We’re trying to prevent people from dumping unwanted kittens in unsafe places,” Nelson said at the roundup. Prior to Saturday, the shelter provided refuge for roughly 80 cats and kittens and that number has grown significantly with the roundup. Nelson said while cat ownership is trending upwards, “cats are under-represented at places like veterinary hospitals and pet stores, so, not in all cases, but in some cases, there is a lower value attached as pets. We’re trying to change that.” The shelter’s resident cats and kittens are vaccinated and spayed or neutered, and will remain there until they are adopted. It’s a costly process, however. The cost of a healthy litter – with an average of four to six kittens per litter – is roughly $1,300 for spaying, neutering, feeding, and vet care. “They are wanted,” Nelson said. And while kittens were being dropped off, at least one lucky feline has a new home. Kathy Vitali was over the moon as she brought home Harris, a two-month-old orange and white male domestic shorthair mix. “I’ve been looking for an orange and white kitten for months,” Vitali said. Harris, part of a litter from a feral cat, was brought into the shelter with his siblings when they were approximately four weeks of age. The Patti Dale Animal Shelter is located at 26220 56th Ave.

CLOVERDALE — The Clova Cinema, as its known to its patrons, is closing its doors for good this weekend with a series of events to cap the theatre’s 67-year run. The building was sold to Crossridge Church which, until recently, rented the space for their Sunday morning kids’ ministry. After its purchase, the church’s upcoming plans didn’t include keeping the cinema up and running, said Clova Cinema owner Craig Burghardt. “I was willing to go either way,” Burghardt said of the situation. “I’m an optimistic person and I just kind of thought about leaving and thought about staying…. I had (an) Operation Phoenix and I had Operation Ashes — so we’re going with Operation Ashes,” he said jokingly. A hefty investment to upgrade the cinema’s projectors was an issue to keep the theatre in business, as well as dwindling sales. According to Burghardt, the Clova enjoyed about half of the business this July
than that of July 2013. But the longtime owner of the Clova won’t have his cinema go out with a whimper. The theatre has a three-day, action packed weekend planned, starting with a showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show on Friday at 9:30 p.m. “The whole interactive experience with the Rocky Horror Picture Show is quite fun,” Burghardt said. “We’ve got about half the tickets left for that so there’s room for more people to show up. We’ve done it many times in the past, and it’s always been a huge hit and everyone’s really got a huge smile on their face.” Because of low ticket sales, he had to cancel the second viewing of the show, which was slated for midnight Friday. On Saturday, the Clova will host its own version of The Amazing Race, a well-known CBS reality show. “Teams sign up and when they get there they’ll be given a list of clues to destinations around the little triangle we’ve made with the three highways,” said Burghardt. “You have to have a car, there will be 20 stops and each stop there’s a multiple choice trivia question you have to answer.” That evening, ABBA tribute band ABRAcadabra will perform at the theatre at 7:30 p.m. On its final day (Aug. 3), Burghardt will
be auctioning off items from the Clova at 1:30 p.m. “We’ve got a bunch of stuff that people have expressed interest in, like our popcorn machine and little knick knacks around the Clova we’ll try to auction off,” he said. For those participating in the auction, he said, a show of Dead Reckoning will play as the theatre’s final screening.
I’ve been working since I was 10 and a couple months off in the middle of my life sounds like a good idea right now. The mid-century blockbuster was the first movie that the Clova screened when the theatre opened in 1947, according to the owner, who took over the Clova in 1996. While this coming weekend is definitively the end of era, Burghardt has other business ideas in mind — but for now, a little time off is on the docket. “I’ve been working since I was 10 and a couple months off in the middle of my life sounds like a good idea right now,” he said with a laugh. For more information, call 604-574-1114.

SURREY — The much anticipated Food Cart Fest in Surrey is finally taking off Saturday (Aug. 2) after being pushed back a month from its expected launch date. The event, which was originally slated to take place at Surrey’s new city hall plaza every Saturday over the summer, has been moved to Holland Park and will run for four weeks beginning Aug. 2 with food trucks on a rotating basis. “We were just trying to figure out what the best spot is to do it in,” said Daniel Fazio of Arrival Agency, the company responsible for hosting Vancouver’s popular Food Cart Fest as well as Vancouver’s annual arts and music festival Khatsalano. “With the Food Cart Fest, it’s not just about eating, it’s about community and it’s about coming together in a space where you can hang out and enjoy company. We really, really loved Holland Park so we kept pushing the city to do something there.” Fazio said that the Food Cart Fest could better utilize Holland Park than Surrey’s new city hall plaza as the building is closed on Saturdays with lesser foot traffic than the park. Along with street food from food trucks like Didi’s Greek, DougieDog and Vij’s Railway Express, the event will have an artisan market, DJs, kids’ activities and more. Laurie Cavan, Surrey’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture, said the food carts did not have their permits in place for a July launch, which led to the delay. Cavan admitted that there was no public notification of the festival’s delay, so people who may have showed up at the new city hall plaza on July 5 for the inaugural bash were met with crickets. “It was no one’s intention to delay it,” she said. “They just needed to meet a few requirements with Fraser Health which has all been taken care of now.” Surrey’s Food Cart Fest kicks off at 12 p.m. on Saturday (Aug. 2) and runs until 5 p.m. Admission to the event is free for the remainder of the summer. kalexandra@thenownewspaper.com

ENGAGE New festival
Fleetwood street fest puts youth at forefront Now contributor Twitter @kristialexandra
FLEETWOOD — Dubbed the 84th Avenue Café StreetFEST, the Fleetwood Community Association is putting on a fullday outdoor festival with the aim of drawing in youth with an interest in arts and music this Sunday (Aug. 3). Organizer Rick Hart, who is also the president of FCA, says although the area has tons of people in their teens and early 20s who are involved in the arts, the area doesn’t have the facilities to foster creative growth. “The core thing was basically trying to hit the kids from mid-teens to early 20s — the youth,” Hart said. “So, the idea that came of our end of it was, ‘Let’s close the street down and see what we can do with it.’” Starkly different from the annual Fleetwood Festival, which will be going into its 16th year and typically draws younger families, the 84th Avenue Café StreetFEST will feature artists, youth bands and
activities aimed at getting high-school aged and older kids involved in the community. The City of Surrey helped by kicking in $1,000 to see the street festival happen. “That was the whole idea: to get the kids involved,” said Hart. “It creates some sort of social communication within the community.” From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, 84th Avenue will be closed off between 160th Street and Fraser Highway. On one end of the closed down street, Hart says there will be musical performances in a caféstyle, singer-songwriter genre with harder rock ’n roll and hip hop on the other end. Performances will be done by young musicians, and between the two ends of the road street hockey will be set up, as well as a life-size chess game and other live arts. “Art goes along with music, so we’ve got some artists coming and some of them will be younger and some are older, too, that are going to be able to interact with kids who have some talent and let them know what the possibilities are,” said Hart. kalexandra@thenownewspaper.com

ENGAGE Gone Country
Concert raises more than $200K CLOVERDALE — Saturday’s outdoor benefit concert, Gone Country, went off without a hitch in its second year, according to the event organizers Jamie and Chris Rucheinski. The event drew over 4,000 people and helped raise $215,000 to fight cancer at Cloverdale’s Bill Reid Millennium Amphitheatre. “We just cleaned up and got off the field (Sunday),” Jamie said. “Event-wise it was fantastic…. It was a good vibe throughout.” Chad Brownlee, Karen Lee Batten, Brett Kissel,
among other big names in country headlined the event. Chris, one-half of the Rucheinski twins and organizer of the annual event, got engaged during Kissel’s set. Surrey RCMP reported that no major police incidents occurred during the event. “The crowd was well behaved with no security issues,” said Cpl. Bert Paquet. See more photos from the concert online at thenownewspaper.com.

City Centre
Movies Under the Stars kicks off Saturday in Surrey CITY CENTRE — Movies Under the Stars kicks off this Saturday for the 10th year in a row. The Downtown Surrey BIA-hosted series transforms Holland Park into a free outdoor movie theatre, and this year is bound not to disappoint with a blockbuster line up.

STORY BY AMY REID
senior walked into the Surrey Food Bank some time ago with a story that brought the executive director to tears. The woman’s husband had become extremely ill and was put into long-term care. After paying for her rent, basic necessities and her husband’s care, there was very little left over. She was going without food.
Deemed the “thrust of the population,” the number of seniors is growing in Surrey – and that growth isn’t expected to slow down anytime soon. (Photo: KEVIN HILL)
“She’s an example of people you don’t think need the food bank,” said executive director Marilyn Herrmann. “After 14 years in food-banking, I think I’ve heard every story and that was one I’d never thought about. As someone ages, their health-care costs are increasing. Where do you get the money from if you’re on a fixed income?” The food bank now has a program dedicated to seniors. Every two weeks, seniors can “shop” at the food bank, with the help of a volunteer, choosing items that best suit their needs. The amount of seniors using the new program has tripled in just a year. It began serving 30 seniors last July, and the last depot served some 90 seniors. Herrmann said in the past, the food bank has been focused on its signature Tiny Bundles program that serves infants and moms-to-be. “We’ve been so focused on our babies and we didn’t think the seniors had that great a need. But they do, and they are a growing demographic,” she said. Those in Surrey are generally living longer, and the proportion of older adults is increasing. In 2011, 62,100 seniors (people aged 65 and older) were living in Surrey, representing 12.6 per cent of the total population of 493,200. That was an increase of 30,700 seniors since 1991. It’s projected that by 2021 Surrey’s population will be 594,500, with 101,700 – or 17.1 per cent – of those people being seniors.

STRUGGLES SENIORS FACE
Ramona Kaptyn, chair of the South Surrey-White Rock chapter of CARP – A New Vision of Aging for Canada, says it’s a struggle to survive for many local seniors. “You’d be amazed at how much poverty there is among senior women here,” Kaptyn said of the South Surrey, White Rock area. While Kaptyn acknowledged seniors today are better off than almost any other time in history, many don’t realize how many single women are living in “hidden poverty.” “They’re just living hand to mouth from the little bit they’re getting,” she said. In 2011, 9,680 of Surrey’s seniors lived alone and the 2011 Census found that 6,505 – or 12 per cent – of Surrey’s seniors were considered to be low income. Low income seniors are more prevalent in neighbourhoods such as City Centre, where 39 per cent are considered low income. CARP advocates all levels of government on a variety of issues, Kaptyn noted, and the current advocacy campaign focuses on pension reform. The campaign calls for Canadian Pension Plans to be increased, as well as a national pension summit and a universal pension plan. The group notes 12 million Canadians – two thirds of the work force – do not have occupational pension plans. Kaptyn said the organization is pleased to see Ontario developing its own pension plan, and hopes to see British Columbia do the same, because many seniors just aren’t able to get by. In White Rock and Surrey, Kaptyn said, affordable housing is a huge issue. According to Kaptyn, “there just aren’t that many places to rent anymore. A lot of rental properties are now condos, so affordable housing is a really big thing.” Many low-income seniors’ households are renters and 44 per cent of senior-led renter households are considered to be in core housing need (paying more than 30 per cent of income on rent). In December, 2013, 1,421 Surrey senior households received rent subsidies through BC Housing’s Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters program. Surrey has approximately 1,000 nonmarket or social housing units for lowincome seniors. In March, 2013, there were close to 250 Surrey households on the waiting list for seniors’ social housing.
A NEW MODEL OF CARE
Ron Watson, who was the executive director of the Surrey and White Rock Home Care Association from 1984 to 2002, was an advocate for a new model of seniors care. Watson was the man behind an ambitious development proposal in Surrey in 1996. He said there was nothing else like it in B.C. – a complete seniors’ community with everything from condos for active emptynesters to hospice care for the dying. The proposed Seaton Woodward Wellness and Health Centre would have included 450 to 750 residential units for independent living, two 16-bed home-care units for seniors requiring some assistance, 32 home-

(Photo: AMY REID) care suites, a 100-bed geriatric care facility, a three-storey medical centre and a 16-bed hospice. He’s dreamed of building a community like this since 1951. That was the first year he visited Arizona, where the dignity seniors received at an adult retirement community called Sun City struck him. He hoped the concept – though on a smaller scale – could come to Surrey. But it never came to be. “I couldn’t convince government,” Watson said, though he holds out hope that the concept will one day make its way here. “I think we need to build facilities like that – it’s what seniors want,” Watson said.
AGE-FRIENDLY GOALS
At city hall, work is being done to make Surrey more “age-friendly.” Surrey adopted the Age-Friendly Strategy for Seniors in May, which identifies a framework for becoming an age-friendly city, including a vision, four defined outcome streams and recommendations for action. “It originated from the Crime Reduction Strategy,” said Coun. Barbara Steele, chair of the city’s seniors advisory and accessibility committee. “I went to Dianne (Watts) years ago and said we’re taking care of everybody, but we don’t really have a section for seniors. She said go for it. And that’s where it started and we decided we were going to touch on health and safety and abuse, and here we are.” The strategy focuses on four key
outcomes, which are safety; health and wellness; transportation and mobility; and housing, buildings and outdoor spaces. But much has already been done to make Surrey more age-friendly, Steele said. In fact, Surrey is recognized by the United Way as an age-friendly city, she added. So far this year, the city has hosted four seniors’ forums, which are held in four different languages including Mandarin and Punjabi. A total of 488 seniors have attended so far this year, and three more are on the books for 2014. They cover everything from fraud protection to fitness to health to speaking up about abuse. Steele said these events are important to ensure seniors are well educated and Barbara Steele avoid isolation. She noted the importance of offering the forums in a variety of languages, recognizing the growing immigrant population the city sees. Between 2000 and 2010, Metro Vancouver saw 10,600 new senior immigrants of which Surrey received the second highest, 2,105, next to Vancouver with 3,345. In 2011, approximately 9,630 seniors in Surrey did not speak English, representing 17 per cent of Surrey’s seniors, greater than the Metro Vancouver average of 15 per cent. The city also held its annual Aging in
Place conference on May 31 at the Newton Seniors Centre, which was attended by 470 seniors. Topics at the conference included financial and legal information, mature driving, health and more. Caregiver sessions have also been held, along with a variety of special events and even mobile outreach. In addition to the seniors’ forums, the city also has a sidewalk development program to make walking safe and convenient, and is to continuing work to improve accessibility at bus stops. Currently, 75 per cent of the city’s bus stops are accessible. A variety of other initiatives are underway, including making the driving landscape more senior-friendly by utilizing larger street signs, as well as the Surrey Fire Service Homesafe program, through which seniors can have smoke alarms installed absolutely free. But there’s much work to be done, Steele said. She acknowledged that transportation is a huge issue for seniors in Surrey. “We will be introducing in the next year or so, all being well and the grants coming in, we’re going to be doing indepth transportation symposiums. So seniors know where the transportation is, they know how to use it, they can give us information,” she said, adding the city’s LRT plans would serve seniors well. “When they can go from Guildford all the way down King George Boulevard to 72nd and connect with buses to go to Delta, White Rock and out to Langley. That’s a huge seniors-friendly form of transportation.” Another issue the city is zeroing in on is elder abuse, which Steele knows about all too well from her time working at Public Guardian and Trustee. “Abuse takes many, many forms. From financial abuse to self-neglect to some physical abuse, verbal abuse, isolation, the list goes on. Those are big challenges to face. Those are provincial challenges, city challenges, national challenges,” Steele noted. “They’re huge problems for seniors.” The city’s forums zero in on the problem – both on how to recognize when an issue arises and what to do about it. All in all, Steele says she does the work she does because this is her city and she wants to create a better future. “I’m going to be there, and a lot of us are going to be there. So we want it to look more like it’s looking now and a lot different than it did years ago. Seniors should have access, they should be commonplace on the streets, they should be into all of the city hubs and the various places. It should be just a natural transition. Lots more seniors housing where they can age in place – go in as an independent and work your way through the system so you don’t lose your friends and neighbours. Accessibility to transportation, all of that kind of stuff should be commonplace,” she said. “We want people to live in Surrey and know it’s a great place for seniors to live,” Steele said. “They are the major thrust of our population.” areid@thenownewspaper.com With files from the Vancouver Sun

Who selects $1,200 as the magic number?
N
ow that’s a good gig. Great work, if you can get it. TransLink is paying Gary McNeil, former CEO of Toronto’s GO Transit, $1,200 a day to solve a mystery it already claims to have solved. McNeil is expected to provide a final report by the end of October revealing how to best avoid more screw-ups like the recent pair of systemwide SkyTrain failures. On July 17 and 21, the Expo and Millennium lines were shut down for hours, leaving all kinds of passengers miffed and stranded. Shortly after the last shutdown, TransLink blamed it on an electrician who they say accidentally tripped a control centre breaker, shutting down the system for five long hours. We wonder if McNeil will come to that same conclusion following his $1,200-per-day investigation. That $1,200 figure, incidentally, seems to be popular for consultants who work, live and move in circles the rest of us do not. In Nova Scotia, the provincial government is paying a consultant over $1,200 a day to fix a rudder problem on a ship, the Bluenose II. In 2007, Ottawa’s then mayor hired a consultant, at $1,200 a day, to transform the city’s operations. The consultant made $80,454 over four months. Makes one wonder how they arrive at such a figure; who it is who points down from on high and says “That’s a $1,200 a day job, if ever I saw one.” Put into perspective, $1,200 a day, five days a week over 52 weeks is $312,000 per year. In some other parts of the world, where people earn $1,200 a year, that works out to an hourly wage of about 60 cents. Earlier this year, the provincial government offered striking public school teachers a $1,200 signing bonus. A salon owner on lower Fifth Avenue in New York will cut your hair for $1,200. And a study says the average American spends $1,200 a year on junk food, and about the same amount on energy bills, while beer drinkers spend roughly $1,200 on brew in any given year. It’s all something to ponder while confronting the bottom of an empty pint glass.

urrounded by people who you don’t feel connected to can be an isolating experience. For the most part, that is the reality of our neighbourhoods. Our neighbourhoods have been reduced to merely places where we live next door to other people. The once held perception that communities are primarily tied to where we live is diminishing. The modern idea of community is a lot more open ended and we seem to be grouping more for formally established interest groups whether it be for sports, environment or even social reasons. Our busy lives make it difficult for us to actually stop and have a conversation with our neighbours. Our dependence on the formal system has taken away the need for us to be interdependent and connected to those around us. In addition, our culture honours selfreliance and loneliness might carry a stigma for people. Trying to make a connection could be seen as a weakness. So to keep our pride and compensate for our need to stay connected, we are hooked on to the Internet. Although technology has improved communication in many ways, it doesn’t include the physical contact that benefits our well-being and not everyone feels a sense of belonging to the new type of communities that are emerging.

The contact with others stimulates production of oxytocin, a hormone that has been linked to prevention of detrimental cardiac responses, and is believed to indicate an association between social contact and healthy hearts.

Roses to Galaxy Trail and Strife for creating the kickstarted video game of funness called Freedom Planet. Lilac, Carol and Milla are quirky, endearing and a joy to play as. Also gotta give roses to Dawn Michelle Bennett, Amanda Lott and Aimee Smith for voicing these wonderful ladies. Roses everywhere to my sweet pea who turned 12. Daughters are warm like the sun, bright like the stars, cool like a breeze and sweet as honey. Who wouldn’t love someone like that! Happy Birthday, Chelsea! I love you! Mommy.

Rotten tomatoes to my neighbour in East Clayton. Why do you think it is OK to let your kids outside screaming before 8 a.m.? What is wrong with you? Your neighbours are less than 10 feet away from you. You are an inconsiderate, awful neighbour. Keep your kids inside before 10 a.m. Let them scream in your house. Rotten tomatoes to people who supported Christy Clark and the neoconservatives, yet are upset with this whole teacher strike circus. You have nobody but yourselves to blame and you get the provincial politicians you deserve. Shame on all of you. Rotten tomatoes to the taxi driver who dumps his fast food garbage on the street before he goes into his home. You’re a disgrace to the neighbourhood! Rotten tomatoes to those who judge people who run their dogs on a leash. My dog, Boss, loves to go with my husband on a leash while he runs him. Boss loves it. He is not forced to run. He runs and my husband tries to keep up with him. When he wants to stop for a water break or such, he stops and so does my husband. Rotten tomatoes to this ridiculous strike. I feel sorry for new teachers who’ve just started and for students who are paying a price. This whole thing is a joke and needs to be stopped. Rotten tomatoes to the people who left a heaping pile of garbage at Serpentine Heights Elementary school. I feel bad for anybody who brings their kids to play on the playground only to see a bunch of garbage left by lazy people who refuse to grow up. A ferry full of rotten tomatos for our premier for letting a BC Ferries contract go to Poland! That’s $165 million that should be spent in B.C. Her slogan, “Jobs for B.C.” seems to be a big lie.

Surrey mayoral campaigns
Poll on mayoral candidates ‘eyecatching’ Online survey suggests Surrey voters are more familiar with Doug McCallum than Linda Hepner Amy Reid
Now staff Twitter @amyreid87
SURREY — With less than four months to go before Surrey heads to the polls to elect a new mayor, a new Insights West poll suggests Doug McCallum holds a higher level of familiarity than current councillor Linda Hepner. Former mayor McCallum received an 83 per cent familiarity rate in the survey, while Hepner received 67 per cent. Mario Canseco, vice president of public affairs at Insights West, said the results were “certainly eyecatching.” “Here’s someone who’s been away from politics for some time and he’s still at 83 per cent,” he said of McCallum. “He’s certainly going to have an influence on the election.” The survey found both mayoral contenders are recognized by most residents 55 and over – McCallum with 96 per cent and 81 per cent for Hepner. McCallum has a higher level of familiarity than Hepner among residents aged 18 to 34 (64 to 46 per cent) and those aged 35 to 54 (87 to 74 per cent).
He’s certainly going to have an influence on the election. The online survey also showed Surrey residents are largely on board with Doug McCallum’s idea to bring a ward system to the city (53 per cent of residents called it a “very good” or “good” idea), but not with Hepner’s idea of constructing a ferris wheel near the Pattullo Bridge (72 per cent of those surveyed deemed the idea “bad” or Join us on Thursday, augusT 21

“very bad”). Canseco said it’s too early to ask residents a “head-to-head voting intention question,” as more candidates are expected to launch their campaigns. “We looked instead at how many residents who are familiar with either one of the two declared contenders already consider them as options worth of their vote in November,” he said. The poll found that of those familiar with McCallum, 40 per cent said they are “very likely” or “moderately likely” to vote for him in the upcoming election. When it comes to Hepner, 37 per cent of those familiar with her said they are “very likely” or “moderately likely” to support her come November. Canseco said Coun. Barinder Rasode wasn’t included in the poll because she
hasn’t officially declared her intentions to run for mayor. “If Rasode announces soon, you’re going to have three very credible people,” he stated, adding that it could end up being a very close race. And according to Canseco, “there’s a lot to be said about the (campaign) teams they’re assembling.”

CRIME STILL TOP OF MIND
Meanwhile, crime continues to be the number one concern of residents, at 45 per cent, followed by transportation at 21 per cent, poverty at 10 per cent and economic development at eight per cent. In an Insights West poll, released March 7, it was found that 51 per cent of residents see crime as the number-one issue. This came on the heels of Surrey setting a new murder record in 2013. The city recorded

$
25 homicides last year, while the previous record of 21 was set in 2005. Canseco said it was interesting to see that crime is still the top concern, noting it’s rare for a municipal issue to be at more than 40 per cent. “There’s still a lot of people who are uneasy on this. I think whoever connects better on crime is going to be the winner.” The survey also showed 64 per cent of residents would like to have councillors who can work together in a coalition, while 21 per cent favour independent councillors. Just five per cent said they prefer councillors who represent a political party. In an Insights West poll from April, twothirds of residents (68 per cent) said they are ready for either a significant or small change in their legislators. Only 20 per cent said they’d like to see no change at all. Canseco said because Surrey First has a firm hold on the council table – 100 per cent before Rasode split earlier this year – people are considering their choices. “There’s going to be a lot of movement,” he noted. Canseco referred to U.S. President Barack Obama’s campaign in 2008 in Indiana, where the campaign mobilized a lot of young voters in a traditionally Republican-voting riding. The same could – and may – happen in Surrey’s current political environment, he said. Results of the survey are based on an online study conducted from July 17 to 21 among 507 residents of Surrey, and have been statistically weighted according to Canadian census figures for age and gender. Insights West says the poll has a margin or error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

Council expenses, staff wages climb, city debt drops White Rock financial report released late due to impact of city strike Christopher Poon
Now staff Twitter @questionchris
WHITE ROCK — Council spent $15,000 more in expenses for 2013 than it did the previous year, totalling $39,185 compared to $26,054 in 2012. As in past years, White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin’s expenses were the highest, coming in at $9,861 – $30 more than the year prior. Most of the city’s councillors came in at around half that or less, but Coun. Bill Lawrence racked up expenses almost rivaling that of the mayor’s at $9,506. Asked about his expenses, Lawrence said because he was newer to council than his colleagues – having been elected in the 2012 byelection – he spent more time attending conferences than others in order to get a better handle on issues facing local governments. “I went to a number of different conventions that were out of town to get
up to speed on a lot of the new information that comes into play with governance and running a municipal government,” he said. “So I attended a number of these conferences to get as much information as possible. Unfortunately there were a number of them out of town and that’s where a lot of the expenses came from.” Lawrence said he was the city’s only representative at some of the events and that the expenses merely reflect the cost of registration and Bill Lawrence travel. Lawrence noted that he always opted for the cheapest travel method. “One was in Charlottetown, another in Niagara Falls and I was able to connect with a number of councillors from different cities and learn from different seminars and topics provided,” he said. “They were immensely helpful in providing me the learning that it takes for being a councillor.” The numbers are part of the city’s 2013 Statement of Financial Information report (SOFI), an annual report in which cities are legislated to reveal their spending for the

previous year. While the SOFI report is legislated to be made available within six months after the previous year’s end, the city was late in presenting it to the public. “It was a little later than legislation requires,” said the city’s director of financial services Sandra Kurylo. “Due to the extraordinary impact of the (civic) strike, staff was a little bit behind with the report. The province had been advised of that before the due date.” The number of employees paid more than $75,000 a year went up from 45 in 2012 to 48 in 2013. Twenty-two of those employees had vacation or banked time paid out. Coming in as the city’s top-paid employee was city manager Dan Bottrill, who took home $183,944 in 2013, compared with $133,105 in 2012. Asked about the $50,000 increase, Kurylo said the discrepancy was due to Bottrill not having worked all of 2012 as he was hired in March of that year. The city’s director of engineering and municipal operations Greg St. Louis had the second-highest pay at $146,698. He did not appear on the 2012 report due to making
under $75,000 that year as he was a new hire. Kurylo came in as the city’s third top-paid employee having taken home $146, 265 in 2013 compared with $144,341 in 2012. For 2013, the total spent overall on staff wages was $9,686,446, up from $9,065,491 in 2012. Overall staff expenses also went up $10,000 from $102,248 in 2012 to $112,396 in 2013. The total spent on staff wages in 2013 represents just under a third of the city’s total operating cost that year, which was $29,854,141. The city had originally budgeted $32,627,259 for the year but came in lower due to sanitary and storm sewer work that was deferred, savings in the RCMP contract and contingency funds that were not used. Revenues also came in $33,199 lower than the expected $35,046,725 in 2013, primarily due to parkland acquisitions that did not occur and contributions towards capital projects that were budgeted but not recorded as revenue due to the work not being completed by the end of the year. Finally, the city’s debt was $139,152 at the end of 2013, compared to $257,289 at the same time the year prior.

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced. “The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.” Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.
“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.” Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home. The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

SURREY — The store might be called Safeway, but not so much for him. A 46-year-old Surrey man was tasered twice and arrested under the Mental Health Act after barricading himself inside a flower cooler at a Safeway grocery store in Whalley on Monday afternoon. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said police received a call at about noon about a man “acting irrationally” inside the grocery store, in the 10300-block of King George Boulevard. He said the man, whose name has not been revealed, holed himself up inside the cooler “after aggressively confronting customers and staff.” Paquet said the man had a knife and some other kind of implement from the flower shop and was holding these out while talking to himself. He ignored the police and was “muttering unintelligible words” while “displaying a body posture” Paquet said was “consistent with a combative stance.”

After police used a taser on him, the man was was wheeled out of the store on a stretcher and was taken by ambulance to hospital for medical assessment. “He is reported to be in stable condition,” Paquet said. “None of the customers or staff suffered any injuries during this incident.” Surrey RCMP’s Serious Crime Unit is investigating the incident.

Friday Night Lights! See the Abbotsford International Airshow like you never have before… this time, at NIGHT! Bring the whole family and enjoy the new Twilight Show on Friday night where performers like Matt Younkin, Team Rocket and Dan Buchanan will light up the sky with extra lights, pyrotechnics and flares on their aircraft! Plus, the CF-18 Hornet and Paul Stender’s Jet School Bus will be lighting up the Runway with jet afterburners and fireworks will cap off a spectacular evening!
Lineup Highlights Canadian Forces Snowbirds - Since 1971, the Snowbirds have been inspiring audiences
young and old as they perform at destinations big and small clear across North America. Look for the iconic nine twinkling lights of their Canadian designed, and built, CT-114 Tutor aircraft in graceful formation over Abbotsford Airshow skies.
CF-18 Hornet - The pilot for the CF-18 demo team is selected based on their exceptional levels
of skill and professionalism. This year’s pilot is Hanover, Ontario native, Captain Adam “Manik” Runge. Like so many before him, Capt Runge saw the Snowbirds perform in his hometown, became captivated with all things “military aviation” and set out on a quest that would eventually take him through the Royal Canadian Air Cadets where he’d earn both his Glider and Private Pilots License at a young age.
de Havilland Mosquito - An exceptionally rare de Havilland Mosquito aircraft will
fly at Abbotsford International Airshow! Catch an extraordinary glimpse of history on August 9 & 10, where one of only two airworthy examples of the de Havilland Mosquito in the World today will fly at the Abbotsford International Airshow. This rare piece of aviation history was expertly restored right here in British Columbia, starting in 2009 after its purchase by Collector, Bob Jens, in 2005. This Mosquito saw its first taste of flight in fortyeight years only a few weeks ago on June 16, 2014, becoming the only the second flying Mosquito in the World. The Abbotsford International Airshow is honoured to host this iconic piece of aviation history and extends our heartfelt congratulations to everyone involved in this incredible restoration. The restored aircraft will fly, and remain on static display on Saturday & Sunday. Don’t miss this opportunity to meet a significant piece of Canadian history!
The Bremont Horsemen - Abbotsford welcomes the Bremont Horsemen
Aerobatic Team who are making their Abbotsford International Airshow debut. With the unforgettable sound of not one, but three legendary Merlin engines that power the three P-51 Mustangs in formation - it’ll be hard not to get goosebumps!
Many, many more! - Warbirds, Pyrotechnics, The Canadian Forces SkyHawks Parachute
Demonstration Team, Renny Price, Brent Handy and more, all with exciting commentary from announcers Ken Hildebrandt and Roy Hafeli.

Former Delta councillor and current Delta North MLA Scott Hamilton was honoured earlier this month for his dozen years of service on Delta council. First elected in 2002, Hamilton was in his fourth term on council when he won the Delta North seat for the B.C. Liberals in last year’s provincial election. He stepped down from council last month. In speaking about Hamilton’s time as a councillor, Mayor Lois Jackson highlighted his “steadfast dedication” to the community. “I am so pleased that you will continue to serve our community as MLA for Delta North,” she said.

SURREY — Four members of a Surrey family were taken to hospital early Wednesday after a house fire erupted in Fraser Heights. Five people were in the house, at 111th Avenue and 153rd Street, at the time. It’s believed the fire might have started in the garage. Arson is not suspected. It happened at about 1 a.m. The two-storey older home sustained extensive damage. Battalion Chief Ed Wells said a man suffered burns to his feet and a woman and two children were treated in hospital for smoke inhalation.

We are very pleased that as a result of The Surrey Steps Up Project that was launched by the City of Surrey on February 22, 2014 at the Surrey Arts Centre, the Fleetwood community took the initiative to develop a community event. Fleetwood immediately embraced the opportunity to build on what we do best and to Step Up with an event tagged “Fleetwood Village’ 2014 84th Ave Cafe StreetFEST 2014 on Sunday, August 3 which will be hosted on 84th Ave between Fraser Hwy & 160th Street. Further development of the streetFest was the addition of visual art displays and a 32 Foot Community art Wall that will be managed by a local graphic artist, JP Vega. JP Vega is one of the artist that is part of the streetFest. the mural shown above is a replica that will be a back drop for the Cafe that will be set up for the streetFest. Founding Sponsor

84th Ave
Café Street
FEST
The event is targeted toward engaging mid teens to early 20’s to organize and play music at the StreetFEST by setting up two areas venues for the music they will be playing. The idea was developed from youth who were already playing at the local Fleetwood Wired Monk a few times a month. Once they were approached to participate and organized the event we ended up with 10 sets of youth playing throughout the day. At one end of the street we are setting up a mock Café complete with Bistro Tables and Benches for the public to relax and enjoy the
day. The benches were provided courtesy of Anthem Properties along with their sub trades and suppliers. The youth from the Surrey Martial Arts Club in Fleetwood assembled and stained the wood custom benches, which will be sold as a fundraising effort. We added a good old fashion Street Hockey Game for the community courtesy of the Lark Group. A large Chess Set has been built by members of the community, which will be set up in the middle of the street for the public to test their skills. And of course there will be dancing on the street to top this all off. Planning and designing this event has certainly been fun and has increased the community engagement in Fleetwood with participation by Youth, Business and the Neighborhood. It has provided the community a place to connect and make new friends. Formal introductions will be held at 12:15pm, which includes unveiling a very special 84th Ave. Development Proposal for Fleetwood, which we know, will be well received by both the Fleetwood Community

and the City of Surrey. Fleetwood is looking forward to a successful day, as it is our intent to continue with building a strong community with an event such as this. Our vision is to have this first event as the kick off and to have this
StreetFEST as an annual event. The StreetFEST could in future years be an Art Show, Car Show, Music FEST or whatever the community wants. Hopefully with future businesses along the street it would become a great economic driver for our community.

Local worksite accidents kill one, injure another Tom Zytaruk

SURREY/DELTA — A man was killed by a front-end loader in North Delta and three men escaped being buried alive in Surrey during two local worksite accidents Tuesday that are now being investigated by WorkSafe BC. The fatal industrial accident happened in the 9400-block of River Road shortly after 3 p.m. Tuesday. The victim’s name has not been released. He was struck by a front-end loader and was pronounced dead at the scene. Roughly two-and-a-half hours earlier, three workers became trapped inside a hole at a construction site after a trench collapsed at 104th Avenue and 158th Street in Surrey, at about 12:35 p.m. “They were putting a sewer line in to a residence,” said Battalion Chief Ed Wells, of Surrey Fire Service. When firefighters arrived, he said, two of the three workers were trying to dig out the third man, who

Three workers were nearly buried alive after a trench collapsed in Surrey Tuesday. (Photo: KEVIN HILL) was buried to his waist. Wells said the worker had stepped outside of a support cage and that it’s believed the trench wall caved in as a result of vibrations from a heavy truck that had been passing by. Wells said firefighters dug the man out with a shovel and then he was taken to hospital to be treated for injuries. He noted the outcome could have been dire as a “precarious” mound of dirt loomed nearby. “If it had let go, it wasn’t going to be good,” Wells said.

e are just crazy about Shakespeare, apparently. Sure, he is probably the world’s most successful playwright and certainly left his stamp on the English language. His works are still influencing our modern world. Betcha there is one of his plays in performance somewhere in the world every day. Not bad for a dude that has been dead for 398 years. Bard in the Valley’s stated purpose and belief is “one goal, one passion – Shakespeare for everyone.” Making Shakespeare’s plays available to everyone and affordable to everyone. Well, you can catch the final three performances of Julius Caesar on the Spirit Square Stage at Douglas Park, Langley. The BIV Society is also dedicated to the concept of making these performances both affordable and available to wide audience, and to nurture and promote an

enthusiasm for the works of Shakespeare and other playwrights. Admission is free to the performances on the Spirit Square Stage at Douglas Park in the City of Langley and in Fort Langley on the lawn in front of the Historic Community Hall. Show time is 7 p.m. on Aug. 1 and 2 and 2 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 3. Beach House Theatre is another success story for our friend Shakespeare. Now in its third year of existence, this South Surrey Shakespeare experience is presenting The Comedy of Errors this year. The story follows two sets of twins who were separated at birth. As we open the play, 25 years have passed and the twins find themselves in the same city. Mistaken identities, misguided love, wrongful imprisonment and wild mishaps lead to an incredibly crazy day for the twins. Set in the Caribbean in 1725 on an island populated by pirates and privateers, this is one of Shakespeare’s most farcical plays and will surely be a wild, fun-filled evening of physical comedy and playful word banter. The show runs Tuesday, Aug. 12 to Sunday, Aug. 17 with an 8 p.m. curtain. Tickets are available on line at beachhousetheatre.org While the Shakespeare experience may

not be suitable for children under eight, Beach House Theatre includes something for the younger set. A talented cast under the direction of Ian Harmon brings five Robert Munsch stories to life. Matt Falletta, Megan Sommerville, and Courtney Shields are The Three Munschketeers who bring on the Munsch magic. The Three Munschketeers runs Monday, Aug. 11 to Friday, Aug. 15 with an 11 a.m. curtain at the tent at Blackie Spit on the beach in beautiful Crescent Beach. Tickets are available on line at beachhousetheatre.org. Now, I am not so sure of how to find Blackie Spit, but you can google it. Apparently it is easy to find and this is your lucky summer – tickets are still available! Last year they were sold out in two hours. Look for tents on Blackie Spit area of Crescent Beach. In Shakespeare’s day, all the parts were played by men. Women were young boys whose voice hadn’t yet changed. It was against the edict of the day for women to appear on stage. So now we have a modern twist – an all- female cast. Classic Chic Productions presents The Winter’s Tale. This romantic fairy tale is not only
an all-female ensemble but is the debut production for Classic Chic a newly formed Vancouver women’s theatre collective. Christina Wells Campbell was the magically wonderful blue fairy in a Christmas panto from the Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society. I thought she was wonderful. Yes, she is from Surrey! And why not? We do have talent here. Christina is the nucleus behind Classic Chic Productions and this ensemble has promise. “There are great roles in theatre that women have traditionally not had the opportunity to play but appeal to them as actors and human beings,” says Wells Campbell. “With Classic Chic we are creating a forum for women to explore these possibilities, and audiences, too.” The Winter’s Tale runs July 26 to Aug. 9 (preview July 25) at the PAL Studio Theatre, 581 Cardero Street in Vancouver. Tickets are available at ticketstonight.ca And just remember what Shakespeare said – “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” That man not only had a way with words, but a vision as well. Just fascinating.

Your journey starts here.
There’s something really engaging about driving a plucky little car like this BY BRENDAN McALEER
brendanmcaleer@gmail.com
•
Tweet: @brendan_mcaleer
Oh Canada, the true North strong and available at a very reasonable entry level price. Not free, not exactly, but certainly inexpensive. While Canadians seem determined to spend simply ridiculous amounts on smartphones and bucket-sized fancy coffees, we like our cars cheap and we don’t care if they’re cheerful. Minimalism on wheels, that’s the Canadian way, and it’s why the best-selling car in the US is the Toyota Camry, while the best-selling car in Canada is always something like the Honda Civic. It’s a different market North of the border, and very occasionally, the manufacturers actually seem to clue in and give us something unique. Nissan’s done this before, with the excellent and much-missed little X-Trail crossover, and now they’re back with another nameplate from the past. Say goodbye to the Versa sedan, and hello to the Micra hatchback. It costs just $9,998 to start, and its here to put a smile on your face like an unopened box of Timbits in the company breakroom.
Design:
Equipped with 15” steel wheels as standard or 16” alloys on the top-end SR models, the Micra isn’t just cheaper than the outgoing Versa sedan, its better looking. There’s something about a pugnacious little hatch that just looks right on the city street, and the little Nissan’s happy face and cartoonishly high greenhouse give it a carefree demeanour. Looking for LEDs, active aerodynamics, or sticky low-profile tires? No thanks – the Micra eschews bling in favour of a few subtle details like horseshoe-shaped creases in its roof, and sculpted styling lines down the sides. It just looks right, and then there are a few things you can do to make the Micra truly yours. The first is to give it a
name and imagine it speaking in a stereotypical Bob and Doug Mackenzie accent – Good Day, eh? - or maybe that’s just me. The second is stuff like coloured mirror caps, door stripes, and door handles, a bit like the dress-up items you can stick on a Mini Cooper. No, they don’t add any horsepower, except in your imagination.
Environment:
While small in footprint (just 3,827mm by 1,667mm – smaller than the aforementioned Mini), the Micra is actually quite roomy inside. It’s a bit like your first studio apartment: there’s not a surfeit of space, but it feels quite large. Part of that’s down to the very tall roofline and large greenhouse, allowing for an upright seating position that makes you feel like you’re in a larger car. Rear seat space is big enough, believe it or not, to fit a toddler-sized rearfacing car seat; adults fit just fine too. The trunk isn’t very large, much smaller than the old Versa sedan’s capacious boot. However, it’s surprisingly deep, meaning you can pack hiking backpacks or perhaps even a hockey bag back there (no goalies, please). The seats fold down for a little extra room, but not flat like a Honda Fit would.
Performance:
Powered by a 109hp, 1.6L four-cylinder engine, the Micra is all about making do with what you have on hand. A five-speed manual wakes things up a little, but the $1,000 optional automatic transmission is going to be the volume choice. A four-speed gearbox, it’s one of the few Nissan cars you can get without their fancy-pants fuel-saving CVT technology, and sounds a bit old-fashioned. Only four speeds? These days you can get a Jeep with nine cogs in the box! As with other aspects of the Micra, the automatic is just what you need, and no more. Stick it in Drive, and off you go, keeping up with traffic and not getting in anyone’s way. Start hitting the corners, and the Micra’s short wheelbase and featherlight curbweight impart a nimble sort of feel
that’s actually quite fun. It’s worth noting that Nissan plans to campaign a race-prepped Micra at the gruelling Targa Newfoundland, and you can tell from the way the road-going version leapfrogs through the corners, they’ve started off from a good platform. It’s actually good enough to have you wishing for a sport-tuned version from Nissan’s NISMO motorsports division. Hitting the highway reveals a car that has to downshift to get up some of the steeper hills, but is perfectly capable of tootling across the country at the drop of a hat. The tall profile and light weight makes the Micra somewhat susceptible to strong crosswinds, but for the most part it’s planted and comfortable. Moreover, there’s something really engaging about driving a plucky little car like this. You pat the steering wheel in encouragement as the 1.6L engine spins towards redline, passing a semi-trailer. You bomb through traffic and zip into a parking space with ease. You crank up the tunes and boot it across town, burning not-much in terms of fuel.
Features:
That loss-leader price figure of just under $10K doesn’t get you air-conditioning or an automatic transmission, but it’s not totally bare-bones. All the mechanical safety equipment from ABS to airbags is standard, and there’s a basic stereo with an auxiliary jack for your smartphone. Step up to the mid-range SV and you get Bluetooth handsfree for your phone, air-conditioning and the ability to option a colour display screen for infotainment and a USB jack for an iPhone. The top-spec SR model gets you those larger alloy wheels, and a backup camera as standard. Fuel economy for the Micra is solid at 8.6L/100kms in the city and 6.6L/100kms on the highway. If those figures don’t impress, remember that this is under Transport Canada’s new testing methods, which achieve figures 10-15% worse than previous. They’re much more realistic – on the Coquihalla, at speeds of around 120km/h and the airconditioning on full-blast, the little Micra actually beat its highway score by several tenths of a litre.

Floating floor facts: Did you know that floating floors, such as laminate, Click-together engineered wood, and various other types of Flooring; were actually designed to be taken with you when you move? While this practice is not very common in north america, it’s actually a standard practice in parts of europe, where home ownership is far too expensive for the average person. Literally everything; from appliances, cabinets, furniture, and flooring is taken with you during a move.

Stars aligning for revived Sea Festival New beginning starts this weekend as event harkens back to glory days Christopher Poon

A
s the city prepares to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the Sea Festival this weekend, organizers are in the home stretch of seeing the past year’s work come to fruition. For the community, it’s a chance to enjoy a Sea Festival that’s likely to bring back memories of the event’s glory days, while at the same time marking a new beginning for the long-running event. That new beginning comes in the form of a new society running the festival, a name change harkening back to the days of old and bringing a new focus to some not-sonew features. For Michelle Pedersen, president of the White Rock Events Society which is organizing the event, this year’s festival is a chance to restore some of the esteem that the 65-year event was held to in the past. To do that, the society looked at putting in special efforts ensuring that the Torchlight Parade returns to being a must-see attraction and by the sounds of it, everything is falling into place. See also TORCHLIGHT PARADE › page 4
“So we have about 50 entries for the parade, including eight city floats, and the 125-member Sumner Marching Band,” said Pedersen, crediting longtime resident and past Sea Festival organizer Maureen Beales for going above and beyond in putting this year’s parade together. “She’s done this for decades, she’s handled the whole event in the past and this time she just annihilated it,” said Pedersen. Crucial to this year’s parade is the creation of a new White Rock float, which was made possible with the help of city funding.

rooper frontman Ra McGuire talks White Rock community, timeless music and why this is the best place to call home in a special online feature. The iconic Canadian band kicks off SeaFest at The Sea Hall in White Rock on Friday. Visit thenownewspaper.com for the story. The city matched the society’s fundraising efforts to the tune of $25,000, which was on top of $15,000 and $65,000 committed earlier in the planning stage. Part of those commitments were to go towards the float, which is seen as a one-time cost for the revamped festival. “Council felt that since this was a onetime grant to get the float up and running, which will stand for probably four or five years, it would be worthwhile to remove some of the obstacles they (organizers) face because fundraising is the most difficult part of the whole thing,” said White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin after granting the additional $25,000 on July 16. In addition to the large parade planned, Pedersen said all other aspects have seemingly fallen into place, and at the risk of jinxing it, said all of their planning over the past year is finally paying off. “The vendors just keep climbing, we’re at about 60 now, we’ve got the Vancouver Aquarium at East Beach on Saturday, got the sundog paddle board competition Saturday at West Beach,” she said. “The biggest thing for me was always creating a balance between East and West beach, not having things heavy on one end, so to speak.” Pedersen is also happy to confirm that fireworks will be making a return this year,

SURREY — The much anticipated Food Cart Fest in Surrey is finally taking off Saturday (Aug. 2) after being pushed back a month from its expected launch date. The event, which was originally slated to take place at Surrey’s new city hall plaza every Saturday over the summer, has been moved to Holland Park and will run for four

Having just found out that she’ll likely be off to China for six months to a year for work, Pedersen isn’t certain at this point if

This festival wouldn’t be anything without them.” The White Rock Sea Festival kicks off this Friday (Aug. 1) and runs until Sunday (Aug. 3).

out and enjoy company. We really, really loved Holland Park so we kept pushing the city to do something there.” Fazio said the Food Cart Fest could better utilize Holland Park than Surrey’s new city hall plaza as the building is closed on Saturdays with lesser foot traffic than the park. Surrey’s Food Cart Fest kicks off at 12 p.m. and runs until 5 p.m. Admission to the event is free for the remainder of the summer. kalexandra@thenownewspaper.com

T
he musical stylings of a cartoon crab rarely seem appropriate for describing people’s lives. However, for a group of float builders in White Rock the melodic lyrics of Horatio Thelonious Ignacious Crustaceous Sebastian Crab – better known as Sebastian Crab – are tailor-made. “Up on the shore they work all day, up in the sun they slave away, while we devotin’ full time to floatin’ under the sea,” sings Sebastian in Disney’s A Little Mermaid. As luck would have it (mostly for this reporter, mind you) his verse behooves the recent lives of sisters Deanna Pederson and LaVerne Hogg. “I was up yesterday at 6:30 and I stopped working at 9:30, so that was a 15 hour day,” Hogg said on Tuesday, just four days before the parade. To build a parade float, one should have four to six-months’ time. For the White Rock Sea Festival’s Torchlight Parade, however, Pederson and Hogg have done it in
less than three. Putting in a 15-hour day is par for the course for the two sisters, along with 30 volunteers, who have spent seven days a week working to prepare the lead float in Hogg’s White Rock home. This isn’t the first float the two women, who are both in their 60s, have built. They began building them in the ’80s and over the course of 15 years took floats to competitions in Canada and the United States. One year they even won the Grey Cup parade. The theme for the 2014 Torchlight Parade is “Under the Sea” which, conveniently, (again, mainly for this reporter) is also the title of Sebastian Crab’s song. Hogg’s home has been overrun with vibrant seaweeds, corals and fish, all masterfully crafted by the hands of local volunteers.
“We’ve had some really solid volunteers the whole way through,” Hogg said of the women and men who have donated their time. Jennifer Randall has become a core member of the team and has all but moved in to Hogg’s house. “It’s been a wonderful experience. I’ve met people I wouldn’t have met otherwise,” said Randall. “I’ve learned to sew again, I haven’t sewed since I was in high school.” It hasn’t been easy building a float from scratch in such a short period of time, though. A group of sea anemones with glowing fish hiding in their arms took several attempts to build. “It took us 10 days to figure out how to do it without them falling apart,” said Hogg. For all those involved in the float, the project is about passion for the community
and an attempt to reinvigorate the Sea Festival. “I’m hoping that when we take the float down to the beach and there’s this great night-time parade and great weather that people will get enthusiastic and it might spur a group of people to get involved,” Hogg said. There will be eight floats participating, some coming from as far as Kelowna and Penticton. The floats will be judged and one will be selected winner. As the home team, Pederson and Hogg’s float will not be part of the competition, but Hogg cheekily added that “we would win if we were.” The Torchlight Parade begins at 9 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 3 at Oxford Street on Marine Drive and finishes at Stayte Street.

Jog for Bog gets huge support DELTA — More than 200 people came out to take part in Sunday’s Jog for the Bog. The annual event, in its 16th year, kicked off a day of activities to mark International Bog Day including a pancake breakfast, live music and more. Sisi Zhou, special events co-ordinator for the Burns Bog Conservation Society, said the turnout was one of the best they’ve ever seen. “In previous years, we typically have had 100 to 120 (runners). Last year, we had a pretty big spike and we had about 170. This year, there was a lot of
growth,” she said. The event is all about showing off the beauty of the bog, according to Zhou. “It’s a great way to get people out and into the bog and get them to really enjoy the scenic route and really understand what it’s all about. We just think that a run is perfect because it puts you right into the area.” For a photo gallery from Sunday’s bog celebrations, visit us at thenownewspaper.com.

CLOVERDALE — The Clova Cinema, as its known to its patrons, is closing its doors for good this weekend with a series of events to cap the theatre’s 67-year run. The building was sold to Crossridge Church which, until recently, rented the space for their Sunday morning kids’ ministry. After its purchase, the church’s upcoming plans didn’t include keeping the cinema up and running, said Clova Cinema owner Craig Burghardt. A hefty investment to upgrade the cinema’s projectors was an issue to keep the theatre in business, as well as dwindling sales. According to Burghardt, the Clova enjoyed about half of the business this July than that of July 2013. But the longtime owner of the Clova won’t have his cinema go out with a whimper. The theatre has a three-day, action packed weekend planned, starting with a showing
of The Rocky Horror Picture Show on Friday at 9:30 p.m. On Saturday, the Clova will host its own version of The Amazing Race, a well-known CBS reality show. “Teams sign up Craig Burghardt and when they get there they’ll be given a list of clues to destinations around the little triangle we’ve made with the three highways,” said Burghardt. “You have to have a car, there will be 20 stops and each stop there’s a multiple choice trivia question you have to answer.” That evening, ABBA tribute band ABRAcadabra will perform at the theatre at 7:30 p.m. On its final day (Aug. 3), Burghardt will be auctioning off items from the Clova at 1:30 p.m. For more information, call 604-574-1114.

Residents want city to protect homes from silica dust Christopher Poon
Now staff Twitter @questionchris
WHITE ROCK — Residents living behind a development on Marine Drive are wondering why the city is seemingly giving them the runaround when it comes to protecting their homes from harmful silica dust drifting from the site directly into their homes. Resident David Bradshaw appeared before council Monday as a delegation asking why city staff can’t seem to give him or other residents any information on what can be done about silica dust from a Marine Drive condo development blowing upwards towards his and his neighbour’s houses. According to Bradshaw, the developer put up a retaining wall as part of a threestorey condo development going in at 15581 Marine Dr., next to the SandPiper Pub. However, when that wall was deemed inappropriate for the site, it was torn down using jackhammers, which then led to silica dust being released into the air. With his and others’ homes situated just 12 feet from the construction site, Bradshaw said the dust entered the intake systems of several houses and he’s spent the
This condo development on Marine Drive in White Rock is causing grief for homeowners next to it. Residents say silica dust from a torn down retaining wall is overwhelming homes in the area – and they want the city to step in.

we are overwhelmed and so are other homeowners,” he said. “The city seems to be studying it, we’re breathing it in, and it’s hardly a satisfactory response from the city.” Bradshaw said he’s even gone as far as calling Metro Vancouver and the Workers
Compensation Board about the site’s silica dust but was told neither body could do anything for him. “I had WCB show up as they were concerned about it, they were there two hours after I called,” he said. “They ensured me that the workers who were exposing us were protected, I’m glad they were protected, but who’s going to projects us, the victims of the exposures? Nobody is stepping up to the plate here. The GVRD came out in a few hours and their response was, ‘We handle large exposures, this is small and should be handled by the city.’” Mayor Wayne Baldwin said he’s received all of Bradshaw’s emails on the matter and directed him to speak with the city’s director of planning and development. “I understand the frustrations… we’d like to help you with this,” he said. Bradshaw wondered why it’s gone on this long. “There should be a mediation process for ongoing disputes (at the city),” he said. “Why are we the ones saddled with having to resolve these issues? I can’t afford the lawyer, I’m already paying a large tax and mortgage.”
