before, a gentleman came in and he was kind of teary eyed... He said, ‘I hear you’re tearing down. Can I have the table?’ and he pointed over to a certain table.” George agreed, but wondered why. “He told me he’d been coming in with his wife and kids years ago, and he’d sat every Friday at that table, and his wife passed away, but he kept that tradition going with his kids. He wanted that table because his kids were now teenagers, and for years since they were little he’d come and sit at that table.” It was part of their almost daily family dinners. “So of course I let him have it.” Although torn down, a piece of the old restaurant lives on through that table.

NEIGHBOURHOODS: Ocean Park

A small town within a massive metropolis WATCH VIDEO AND EMAIL US WITH ‹ from page 1

George and Linda Docolas, owners of Ocean Park Pizza & Village Pub, have seen how their small community at the tip of the peninsula has grown and thrived for more than 30 years. For video, scan this page with your Layar app. (Photo: JACOB ZINN)

My 80-year-old in-laws can get some flowers and wine and dry cleaning and groceries and someone will help them walk it back to their home if they need it done. Linda said. “You’re not going to get that personal feel – that you care if someone’s spouse has passed, you notice that a senior that comes in once a week has a new tie, it makes their day. So we said we just have to keep steady with that and we’ll all thrive. And that was eight years ago and I don’t think there’s been much turnover.” There was a bit of a hiccup when people went to see what the new developments were about, but quickly returned, Linda added. “We want to set ourselves apart from the Grandview Corners-type developments,

in that we’re home. When we have a Thanksgiving dinner, it’s overwhelming to see seniors, couples who maybe a spouse is travelling, families who are dual income parents and just didn’t have time for that turkey, we looked around the first Thanksgiving we did here in our new facility and, again, got quite emotional. It was like we opened our home to the community.” While George and Linda started off their life together living elsewhere in Surrey, they always wanted to raise their family in Ocean Park. And it’s because of the small-town feel of the community, Linda said. “Whether you’re having a big party, or a small family dinner, you can come home, get out of that chaos of traffic and congestion everywhere you look from Vancouver to Surrey, but you hit this tip of the Peninsula and it’s breathtaking... In my opinion it’s like you’ve walked into Mayberry,” she said. People say hello to one another on the streets and dogs wait for owners outside of the Safeway, she said. “My 80-year-old in-laws can get some flowers and wine and dry cleaning and

groceries and someone will help them walk it back to their home if they need it done. It literally is like a small town within a massive metropolis... It’s just a jewel and going back in time in the middle of a bunch of chaos that’s good and bad. We’re glad it’s accessible to us, but we’re really happy that at the end of the day this is where we put our heads down on our pillow.” areid@thenownewspaper.com

The new facility was completed in 2006 after the teardown, and has grown considerably from the 55-seat operation it began as more than 30 years ago. Now called the Ocean Park Pizza & Village Pub, the business was handed down to George and his wife Linda from his parents, Costa and Maria Docolas. George said, as a young man, his father ingrained hardworking values into him and those philosophies live on today. “Basically, his common fundamentals were you never sacrifice quality and you give people just good service... You take care of your customer,” George said. His father’s way of running the kitchen has been passed down, as well. “A lot of restaurants now are bringing in foods frozen or packaged. We don’t do that. We do things like we did back 30 years ago,” George said. And just to be sure, his parents still pop into the restaurant every morning to check up on him, George said with a chuckle. He said he feels privileged the community has supported his family’s business and is proud to have second- and third-generation customers. Children who he recalls putting in high chairs or booster seats in the ’80s are now coming in with their children. Former employees frequently pop in to visit, as well. “It’s definitely a cycle of life.” George said looking around at fellow Ocean Park businesses, there are many other longstanding, family-run operations. “Like the butcher, like the deli across the street, like the little toy store, they’ve been here a long time. We’re talking 20, 30 years. And that’s remarkable.” George’s wife Linda said Ocean Park always had its own niche, but did feel competition from the big-box stores and developments such as Grandview Corners. The business community got together to look at how to fight the invasion of the large stores, and how to brand themselves. “This kind of service you won’t get there,”

Surrey man causes mayhem

Guilty pleas, arrest made

Forty cops on task force

SURREY — A 38-year-old Surrey man is facing charges after a stolen five-ton rental truck mangled six police cars parked at Lougheed Town Centre shopping mall in Burnaby Sunday morning. The man is facing charges of mischief to property and theft over $5,000. His name has not been released. The rampage started just after 1 a.m. The suspect allegedly crashed a jeep into a cop car before firing up the five-ton truck and smashing it into the other cars. Police took the suspect to Burnaby General Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. There, he jumped out of his bed and yanked out a sprinkler head, flooding the emergency department. Tom Zytaruk

SURREY — Two young men pleaded guilty to manslaughter, in Surrey provincial court on Thursday, in connection with the homicide of Branson Sanders. Police believe Sanders, 20, was killed at residence in the 18000-block of 55th Avenue in Cloverdale. His severely burned body was found in Burnaby on Dec. 2, 2011. Shakib Shakib and Brandon Nandan, both 20, pleaded guilty to manslaughter on Thursday and their sentencing hearing is set for March 7. Meanwhile, on Wednesday 44-year-old Dean Anderson was arrested in connection with the Nov. 23 homicide of Ronald Richard Lomas, and assault of Donovan Foster. Tom Zytaruk

SURREY — Fordy’s 40 is coming to a street near you. Shortly after Surrey recorded a record-breaking 23rd homicide last month, Mayor Dianne Watts struck a task force comprising herself, RCMP and other authorities, to look into preventing further violence in the city. It has so far met twice. Watts said that a “complete framework” will be announced within two weeks. But effective immediately, Chief Supt. Bill Fordy, the officer in charge of the Surrey RCMP detachment, has a team of 40 plainclothes and uniformed police officers. “The task force intends to be pro-active,” Fordy said. “Disrupting, intelligence-led enforcement.” Tom Zytaruk

METRO VANCOUVER — After some Surrey councillors publicly said New Westminster is stalling Pattullo Bridge talks, the Royal City is insisting that’s not true. The comments from Surrey came after a transportation and committee meeting on Dec. 2, where some councillors were told by city staff that TransLink has shortlisted two Pattullo Bridge options – either a new fouror six-lane bridge, estimated at $800 million and more than $1 billion, respectively. “Staff said since that time, New Westminster has come back and asked for TransLink to reintroduce the option of rehabbing the four-lane bridge,” said Surrey Coun. Barinder Rasode. Staff also said the second phase of the consultation is delayed as a result. Rasode said the process has gone on for more than 10 years and there have been nearly 40 technical studies by TransLink, which staff estimate have cost around $3 million to $4 million.

“Enough is enough,” she said. “It’s time to get this done.” Surrey Coun. Barbara Steele said staff told the committee that “it’s down to two options and that New Westminster is not interested in those two options, so the talks have stopped.” “I think the problem is that we’re worlds apart,” Steele said. “To me, personally, it seems silly even to build a four-lane bridge in the Lower Mainland. Six lanes make more sense. But I appreciate that New West has their issues, too... But we are of the opinion that talks have stopped.” New Westminster Mayor Wayne Wright told The Royal City Record that Surrey’s information is completely inaccurate. “In fact, it is full of errors,” Wright said. “TransLink has even called about it. There is some confusion, and maybe the hopes and dreams that some people want.” Bob Paddon, executive vicepresident of strategic planning and public affairs for TransLink, said the joint review team is continuing to evaluate a number of alternatives

agreed by participants in the June 2013 consultation. “The partners are continuing the review and aim to present their work and recommendations to the public for review early in 2014,” he said in a statement to The Record. Jim Lowry, New Westminster’s director of engineering, says there are six options still on the table, contrary to what Surrey staff told its transportation committee. Surrey Coun. Tom Gill, who is also chair of Surrey’s transportation and infrastructure committee, said he’s concerned that if New Westminster delays the process, TransLink may have to start putting significant investment into the existing bridge. “The irony is that those seismic upgrades may only last a fraction of the life of a new bridge,” he said. TransLink has set aside $299 million in funding for rehabilitation of the Pattullo Bridge, after a report found repairs would be required sooner than expected. areid@thenownewspaper.com With files from the Royal City Record

Politicial issues

TransLink pushed to the limit? InTheHouse Keith Baldrey

s TransLink nearing the breaking point? It’s a question worth posing as frustrations expressed by a number of mayors and councils over transit and transportation priorities continue to mount and boil over for public display. TransLink has been unable to solve a riddle it has been wrestling with for some time now: how to meet escalating service demands without creating unpopular or unacceptable revenue streams to pay for them. As a result, municipalities are finding themselves pitted against each other when it comes to determining what particular project gets the green light over others. The situation has been building for some time, but three recent developments show how bad things have become. First was Premier Christy Clark’s arbitrary decision that a new bridge would replace the George Massey Tunnel, and that construction would begin soon. The

announcement was met with opposition from a number of mayors, but it also was backed by others, notably Delta Mayor Lois Jackson. One of the critics of the Massey Bridge, Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, continues to insist a rapid transit line down Broadway to UBC is the most pressing priority, but the chance of that being built anytime soon evaporated when the B.C. Liberals won re-election while the voters along that transit line voted for the NDP. Then there was Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts’ announcement that her municipality would essentially bypass TransLink and the provincial government and approach Ottawa on its own, asking for $1.8 billion in funding to build three light rail lines across the city. Watts has been pushing for some kind of light rail service in her municipality for quite some time, only to be ignored time and time again from her mayoral colleagues. Of course, it remains a long-shot for the federal government to fork this kind of cash over to a municipality (Surrey is not in Quebec, after all), but Watts’ actions seems to be a stunning example of the frustration

some mayors have with TransLink’s planning process. Finally, New Westminster council is now balking at Surrey’s desire for a six-lane bridge to replace the Pattullo Bridge, arguing its street network could not handle the extra flow of traffic such a bridge would bring. This kind of infighting and going-alone actions is occurring while an unprecedented referendum on how to fund transit in Metro Vancouver draws ever closer. The premier says the referendum is partly designed to ensure mayors make their own positions on funding known, so they can be held accountable. But the way things are going, who knows whether the current TransLink model can function long enough to make it to the fall of 2014, when the referendum will be held.

UNION DEAL TELLING Don’t underestimate the significance of those unprecedented five-year contracts reached between the provincial government and the B.C. Government Employees Union. The BCGEU master agreement often serves as the template for other public sector union contracts, so it’s a good bet other unions will sign similar contracts in the months ahead. Interestingly, the BCGEU signed a new deal well ahead of the March termination date of the current one, and others may opt to sign early as well. The BCGEU also bought into the government’s idea of tying bonus wage hikes to economic growth. Public sector unions have long been accused of thinking economic growth had nothing to do with the compensation coming from government, so this is a

philosophical shift of sorts. The one exception when it comes to other unions following this kind of contract is, of course, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. The BCTF considers itself a social justice movement, and not a trade union, so expecting it to grasp the linkage between economic growth and wage increases for its members is perhaps unrealistic. In political terms, however, the BCGEU deal speaks volumes. Signing a five-year deal suggests the union realizes it backed the wrong horse in the last election and

Surrey First’s arrogance is showing I am most appalled and disappointed by Surrey’s attitude to New Westminster. I live in North Delta, but it is my opinion that New Westminster should not have to be destroyed by an increase in traffic. Why not support the bridge to Sapperton Bar, which benefits Surrey and decreases truck traffic in New Westminster, making that area much more livable?

Susan Doubles, Surrey

The Editor, As a senior, I am receiving mixed messages regarding unsafe driving. A 75-year-old crashed her vehicle into a store front causing damage.

Concerns over coal are being ignored The Editor, I live in a great little neighbourhood in North Delta that dates back to 1870. We have towering old trees and building restrictions in an effort to maintain the character of this neighbourhood. We are also located a stone’s throw from the Fraser Surrey Docks. Over the past decade, we have made substantial contributions to the progress of YVR with the massive increase of overhead

air traffic, to the container shipping industry with the South Fraser Perimeter Road, and now a new extended coal terminal. Their experts say it’s perfectly safe. I hope it’s not the same experts who said tobacco was safe. I have sent numerous emails to YVR, Nav Canada and to local MPs expressing my concerns. I did get a calendar. I am yet to be contacted in any way regarding this coal port, despite being its neighbour. Perhaps my silent contribution of diminished quality of life is all that’s required. After all, it’s nothing that a dust mask and earplugs can’t take care of. Ron Laing, Delta

The Editor, Re: “Give your head a shake, Gill tells New Westminster,” the Now, Dec. 5. Coun. Tom Gill’s tantrum about the Pattullo Bridge nicely crystallizes the arrogant viewpoint of Surrey First, the B.C. Liberal Party and their constituencies. The suburban upper middle class can’t stand the idea that they might not be able to drive anywhere they want, anytime they want. Surrey will continue to insist on a sixlane bridge to replace the Pattullo. New Westminster will continue to lobby for a four-lane bridge. Eventually, a compromise will be reached. The province will force the construction of a six-lane bridge.

Santa’s Parade a hit SURREY — An estimated 13,000 to 15,000 people came out to see dozens of lightadorned trucks on Sunday, at two separate events in the city. The convoy, which rolled in from Vancouver Island and from the Greater Vancouver area, took part in Surrey’s Santa Parade of Lights in downtown Cloverdale, then travelled north to Holland Park for the Big Rigs for Kids Event. “It was the largest parade we’ve had. It was packed all the way throughout,” said Paul Orazietti of the Cloverdale BIA said Monday. “The event is really becoming a community classic.” The Cloverdale event included about 90 floats and other parade entries, not just the lighted trucks, along with pre-parade activities at Hawthorne Square. Orazietti said this year, there were lots of “balcony parties” along the trucks’ routes, with people making a party of watching the trucks roll past. “And the weather was absolutely perfect,” he said. “It couldn’t have gone any better.” Both events collected donations for the Surrey Food Bank and the Surrey Christmas Bureau. Monday morning, organizers were still counting donations.

SURREY — Money made from a play written and produced by a North Delta girl will benefit the new Bright Stars program at EJS School of Fine Arts. Last summer, Rayne Inkster, 11, and 17 of her friends twice staged Just Another Fairytale in the carport of her family home, earning $500 in ticket sales. Rayne, a student at EJS, will present the money to the school’s Bright Stars program at a Dec. 14 show at the Wheelhouse Theatre in South Surrey.

Rayne Inkster, 11, wrote a play that made $500 in ticket sales last summer, and will donate the money to the Bright Stars program. Launched at EJS in September, Bright Stars is designed to give underprivileged kids the opportunity to participate in music theatre classes and perform in a production.

“The program has gone very well so far,” said Willa Iseli, executive director at EJS, located on 64th Avenue in Surrey. “Some of the kids have come from some terrible situations,” she added. “We’ve already seen some huge changes in many of these children.” Rayne is already planning to stage another play next summer. “She’s writing notes and says it will be bigger next time,” her mother, Nadine Inkster, told the Now. EJS students are involved in five musical-theatre productions to be staged on Dec. 14, including Fiddler on the Roof, A Charlie Brown Christmas and Disney’s Little Mermaid. More event details are at www. ejsfinearts.com, along with information about the Bright Stars program.

Kids grow up fast these days – even acne now commonly affects pre-teens. Dr. Lorne Albrecht is now conducting a research study. Adults and children 12 and older with severe facial acne may be eligible to receive an investigational gel medication at no cost. Participants will have regularly scheduled study visits with a dermatologist, and compensation is available for time and travel.

WHITE ROCK — A festive turkey lunch was served Friday to launch the Better at Home program in the South Surrey/White Rock region. The luncheon was hosted by Seniors Come Share Society at Kent Street Activity Centre, in conjunction with the facility’s Fresh & Lively lunch events. The society has been chosen by United Way as the lead organization for Better at Home services on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. In 2012, United Way was granted $20 million to establish Better at Home, a program designed to help B.C. seniors continue living independently in their own homes. The program involves providing seniors with simple non-medical support services, such as help with housekeeping, yard work, grocery shopping and transportation to appointments. The range of Better at Home services available varies from community to community, depending on the specific needs of local seniors.

Learn what your kids want (don’t assume), and make them take it at next visit. Don’t get too many people involved in helping as it raises the risk for miscommunication. Garage sales can be emotionally hard when people haggle over items you love, so try selling via dealers, or online. Professional downsizers can help you with selling things of value and are experts at facilitating this difﬁcult time. Most retirement residences will be able to refer one of these services to you.

Writers’ federation donates B.C. books to Surrey Libraries SURREY — Ben Nuttall-Smith and Linda Stromberg (pictured) were all smiles Wednesday at City Centre Library following a large donation of books by the Federation of B.C. Writers to Surrey Libraries. The federation has donated its extensive collection of books featuring B.C.-based writers to the organization. “Books should be read, not sitting in a collection unavailable to readers,” said Nuttall-Smith, president of the federation. “It’s a win-win-win — a win for the

readers, a win for the library and a huge win for the writer who gets their words into the hands of readers. It’s why we all do it: for the readers.” Stromberg, chair of the library board, said Surrey Libraries is delighted to receive the donation. “It helps support the programming we offer to promote our talented local writers. We are proud to preserve the legacy of B.C. writers and look forward to our continued relationship with FBCW.”

Cloverdale’s Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers ran out of time in a 20-12 loss to the St. Thomas More Knights in the 2012 B.C. Grade 8 Football Championship game at B.C. Place Nov. 30. Panthers finished third in the class AAA Grade 8 standings in the regular season, trailing undefeated St. Thomas More and second place Vancouver College.

The championship finale was the third meeting of the year between the two teams and while the Knights prevailed each time, the last match was the closest. Knights scored late in the fourth quarter to build an eight-point lead, leaving the Panthers less than two minutes to mount a comeback. Tweedsmuir moved the ball from their 20-yard line to midfield before time ran out. “We definitely had some familiarity with a lot of the stuff they threw at

us and they had some new things in there as well,” said Panthers coach Greg Bergerman. “We had to adjust to some things on the fly, but we did all right. They used a wildcat at the start and that initially threw us off a bit, but at the end of the game we were moving the ball well on them, we just ran out of time.” Quarterback Walter Dingwall and fullback Derek Best scored the touchdowns for Lord Tweedsmuir. Running back Nico De Poali scored all three STM touchdowns.

Surrey runners swept the gold medals at the 2013 Canadian Cross-country Championships in Vancouver Nov. 30. Running in heavy rains on the Jericho course, Tamanawis Secondary grad Natasha Wodak won the seven-kilometre senior women’s race in a clocking of 24 minutes, 30.8 seconds, while Elgin Park Secondary grad Lucas Bruchet captured the 10-km men’s event in 31 minutes 38.39. They were the first national cross-country titles for both runners. “This is probably one of the biggest wins I’ve ever had,” said Wodak, 31. “Between track, cross-country and road running, cross-country has always been my favourite. I’ve been doing it since elementary school and I just love it. I used to go to nationals and never even finish in the top 20 so to win this is just amazing. It’s kind of an incredible end to a dream-like year for me. I was smiling and beaming from ear to ear for the rest of the day.” The cross-country championship capped an amazing year for Wodak. In January she won gold at the NACAC championships and two months later, she was the top Canadian finisher at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships in Poland. She won a national championship in the 10,000-metres at the Canadian Track and Field Championships in July and completed her first marathon in Toronto in October. Five weeks after the marathon she was lining up for the women’s cross-country nationals as a member of the B.C. Endurance Project team. Wodak never led the race at any point until she made her move by initiating a sprint to finish, edging out Vancouver’s Rachel Cliff by less than four seconds. “That was the plan and I’m glad it worked,” she said. “The finishing times were quite a bit slower than last year, but the weather probably had a lot to do with that. The race went out quite slow and it seemed like nobody wanted to lead it. I didn’t want to lead it so I just sort of stuck in the back and waited for things to pick up.” Meanwhile in the men’s race, Bruchet was looking to improve on his fifth-place showing at the 2012 crosscountry nationals, a result that landed him a berth on the

â&#x20AC;š from page 18 national team that competed in Poland in March. The 22-year-old UBC student lives near the Jericho course and runs on it several times each week with other runners in the area. That familiarity was an advantage â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to a point. The heavy rains on race day definitely levelled the field, slowing the pace of the race and turning several sections into sloppy mud or slick grassy slopes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the course this year when it was really wet, but we do know the ins and outs of the terrain,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The mud definitely changed things up a bit, but I knew what to expect. It was pretty mucky is some spots and I had to watch where I put my feet. Sometimes it was worse than it looked and my foot would sink down almost a foot into the muck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely more of chance of injury when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like that so I had to be careful. It was tricky, but when you have the adrenaline going you just go for it; you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really think about rolling an ankle.â&#x20AC;? One of Bruchetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest rivals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; his roommate, Kelly Wiebe â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was forced to drop out with a foot injury midway through the race, leaving Bruchet to duel with

There would be no late game heroics for the Eagles the following night in Penticton where Surrey hooked up with the Vees in a rematch of last springâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BCHL championship finalists. This one was no contest as the Vees dominated right from the opening whistle. Penticton led 2-0 after the first period and 5-0 after 40 minutes. The Vees pushed their advantage to 6-0 in the third period before Heinen spoiled the shutout bid of Penticton goalie Olivier Mantha. Brad McClure led the Vees with two goals and one assist. The Eagles will be busy again this weekend with three games scheduled. Surrey plays in Langley Friday before hosting the Nanaimo Clippers Saturday at South Surrey Arena. The Eagles then close out their weekend at home against Coquitlam Sunday.

PUT IT IN YOUR W ALL ET!

Another weekend, another split for the Surrey Eagles. For the fourth consecutive weekend, the Eagles could only muster one win from a two-game slate of B.C. Hockey League opponents. This time the Birds were on the road where they topped the West Kelowna Warriors 4-3 on Friday night only to be blown out 7-1 by the Vees in Penticton Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happy with our starts in either game,â&#x20AC;? said Eagles coach Peter Schaefer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were outshot badly early in both games, but the difference for us on Friday was the play of Bo (Didur), our goalie. He won the first game for us in Kelowna and played just as well in Penticton, but we were playing a much better team. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever have

a chance in that game in my opinion just because we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready to go.â&#x20AC;? In Kelowna Friday, the Eagles overcame a two-goal third period deficit by scoring three unanswered goals in the final 10 minutes to pull out the win. Trailing 2-1 after 40 minutes, the Birds fell further behind when the Warriors struck again 11 seconds into the final frame. Danton Heinen gave the Eagles some life when he cut the gap to a single goal midway through the final frame and the rookie then evened things up with another goal four minutes later, this one on the power play. Luke Sandler completed the comeback when he netted the game winner 26 seconds later off a pass from Jonah Renouf. Renouf finished with a goal and an assist and was named the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first star.

“This year the calendar features an entertainment book and it offers the equivalent of $95 worth of coupons – restaurants, coffee, even a discount off a night’s stay at the Ocean Promenade Hotel.” Albornoz said one of the highlights of the project was the front cover. “In addition to the fact it’s a cute picture, it represents a new generation,” she said. “The whole publication we called ‘Magical Moments’ because it truly is a collection of magical moments captured by people who are so passionate about our community and that picture of the two brothers holding hands walking along the pier, it symbolizes ... a new generation forging a path forward for a bright future.” The 2014 calendar, created in partnership with the Now newspaper, is on sale at the visitors centres in White Rock, at a number of retail shops around town, and at the Now office, at 201-7889 132nd St., in Surrey. For a full list of retailers who are selling the calendar, see www.inwhiterock.com.

WHITE ROCK — The new 2014 art calendar by Tourism White Rock is now on sale. Called “Magical Moments,” the calendar features photographs of the people and places around the City by the Sea. “One of the most successful components of the project was the photo contest because the heart and soul of what drives this calendar is that it engages the community,” said Betina Albornoz, executive director of Tourism White Rock. “It was designed with that in mind and every year we keep that in mind – engaging local artists, engaging the residents, too. They are the ones who buy it and send the calendar to their friends and families all over the province, all around the world.” The popular calendar is a sought-after gift as well as a must-have item for locals. In fact, Albornoz said, people start calling up in July asking for the new edition before it even gets to the printer. There is a fairly comprehensive list of events as a community service.
