West Panorama Ridge

Rural area not without its struggles WEST PANORAMA RIDGE Amy Reid

Now staff Twitter @amyreid87

WEST PANORAMA RIDGE — It’s a rural area, complete with ditches, tall trees and plenty of natural parks and trails. “When you pull off the highway, you feel a different vibe,” said Bob Campbell, with the West Panorama Ridge Ratepayers Association (WPRRA). “The real upside to this area is it has been able to largely retain its rural feel, largely retain a lot of trees, has good views and it’s really a very unique residential neighbourhood.” Campbell’s heritage home, once the house of former Surrey mayor Joe Brown in 1932, overlooks Mud Bay and many tall timbers. The area is also home to several horse barns, Campbell said, noting his daughter used to ride in the area. And the trails that run along Mud Bay wrap around to Boundary Bay, taking cyclists or horseback riders all the way to Tsawwassen if their hearts desire. “When you come in here, you see a very nice, pleasant residential neighbourhood with beautiful parks, nice trees, etcetera. That to me is the best part.” The community considers its boundaries to be from Highway 10 to Colebrook Road, and from 120th Street to King George Boulevard, and Campbell proudly said the area has resisted commercial development. “We’ve held to our zoning very tightly.” In fact, he said the WPRRA was formed roughly 60 years ago solely to try to control development. “People wanted to protect the rural values of the ridge,” he said. Campbell recalls hearing architect Bing Thom – the visionary behind projects such

When he thinks of Surrey’s such areas, Morgan Creek, Ocean Park and his own neighbourhood come to mind. Campbell loves his neighbourhood, for all these reasons, but says it isn’t without its struggles. He said crime shocked for the community in 2013 when five bodies were found along Colebrook Road, earning it the nickname “Killbrook.” A body was also found in the neighbourhood’s Joe Brown Park last year. “My 16-year-old daughter jogs by there all the time. Everyone was quite frightened,” Campbell said. The carnage spurred Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts to have city crews install 10 streetlight poles, fitted with surveillance cameras, along a particularly troubled stretch of the road. “People were really quite shocked at how we seemed to have made a transformation from being this quiet, rural community to where all these terrible things were

happening.” After the murders, his group did block watch, put out community notices and also put up a “crime reporting” section on its website, and they heard about tons of low-level crimes that people weren’t often reporting. “We still say crime levels are higher now than they were five years ago, but they’re probably better than last year. The city does seem to be paying attention to us,” he said. Campbell said his area got a lot of attention following the Colebrook Road homicides, just as Newton Town Centre did following the tragic murder of Julie Paskall. He sees the two neighbourhoods struggling with many issues, such as drug dealing and recovery homes. Transition or recovery homes are “probably the number one thing that drive people up the wall” in his community, he said. Items such as lawnmowers and chainsaws have started to go missing in the neighbourhood, and there’s been vandalism, dope smoking, as well as parties, Campbell said. “We have right now probably two or three that are really active. And they’re huge sources of problems.” West Panorama Ridge Resident Lorraine,

who asked for her last name not to be used, says she lives near a recovery home in the neighbourhood. She says she regularly calls the city’s bylaws department, and described the home as a “party house.” “It’s mostly nuisance,” she said of the activity, which she says includes loud music, fights and drug deals in the streets. “They took a guy away in handcuffs the other day,” she added. While she sees bylaw officers and police at the residence on a regular basis, she doesn’t see the situation getting any better. Jas Rehal, Surrey’s bylaw enforcement manager, said the city receives a lot of calls from the neighbourhood about unsecure vacant homes that attract squatters, or are unsightly. Rehal said the department also gets a lot of calls about nuisance activity in the neighbourhood. “We’ve been working very hard over the last six, seven months to address those properties where the nuisances are occurring,” he said. Rehal emphasized that the West Panorama Ridge community is engaged, and the bylaw department has a great working relationship with residents there. Surrey RCMP Sgt. Dale Carr echoed that statement. “Certainly, West Panorama Ridge is a great community, a well engaged community,” he said. The RCMP is in tune with their issues surrounding recovery homes, Carr said, and is aware of some within the area. So what does the future hold for West Panorama Ridge? Campbell hopes it will keep its rural feel, but said the landscape is changing, due to a proliferation of very large homes. “The monster houses change the look and feel of the neighbourhood, no question,” Campbell said.“They tend to take the trees down. So you see tree loss, that kind of stuff, so that does change the look and feel of the area. “Is the ridge changing? It absolutely is changing, but it still has a rural feel.”

Mother’s Day package ‘means world’ to family

wi pri n zes !

SURREY — A Surrey woman snagged the Now’s special Mother’s Day package to share with her out-of-town Mom, who is currently battling a rare form of skin cancer. Lana Kuyhoven is hoping to get her mother, Diane Lust, out to Surrey from her Kelowna home in late May to share with her a package that includes a $400 family photo shoot from Moments In Time Photography by Jamie Allport, a makeover from Alejandra Thomasson of Hair and Beauty BC and a bouquet of flowers from Raj at Didi’s Flowers. Lust was diagnosed with vulva cancer, a type of skin cancer, last year and was given up to two years to live just six months ago. The cancer has spread to her lungs, and “she can barely walk 75 metres without getting winded,” according to her youngest daughter. Lust lives in Kelowna, while her children reside in the Lower Mainland. Lust’s reluctance to move close to her children while battling the rare form of cancer, Kuyhoven said, is just part of her characteristic stubbornness. “She’s far too stubborn to move,” said

Lana Kuyhoven holds a photo of her mom, Diane Lust. (Photo: GORD GOBLE) Kuyhoven. “She says she doesn’t want to be a burden on anyone, so she won’t move here. Even when she got knee replacements, she didn’t want any help.” Winning the Now’s Mother’s Day contest “means the world” to Kuyhoven and her siblings, who want to honour their mother by creating one last memory. “It’s the world,” Kuyhoven exclaimed. “We’re trying to do everything for her before she passes…. I want the memory for my brothers and sisters.”

2014 summit cost RCMP $30,000

Funds came from budget and are ‘peanuts’ in big picture, police say Amy Reid

Now staff Twitter @amyreid87

SURREY — The Surrey RCMP spent roughly $30,000 to cover the 2014 Surrey Regional Economic Summit last February. The bill included wages, rented toilets and radios, and even boxed lunches, said Surrey RCMP Sgt. Dale Carr. The City of Surrey and the Business Council of British Columbia organize the Surrey Regional Economic Summit, which was launched in 2008. Speakers at this year’s summit were former Australian prime minister Julia Gillard, former Greek prime minister George Papandreou and former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak. The City of Surrey has always insisted the events come at no cost to taxpayers, and funds from ticket sales

finance the event. Co-chair of the summit, Coun. Linda Hepner, said the Surrey RCMP extracted from its regular operating budget to cover its costs. Community events, such as Vaisakhi and the Ride to Conquer Cancer, have to foot the bill for policing costs. Hepner said the summits are a different ball game when they involve dignitaries. “If there had been a visiting dignitary from India at the (Vaisakhi) parade, there would have been a protocol that would have fit in there,” Hepner said. “Once you tell (the police) who’s coming, there are national requirements.” Carr said that’s true. “We inserted ourselves. The city certainly didn’t come and say we want police there,” he said. “We did an assessment, in partnership with our federal policing partners. In keeping with our mandates, as far as protective policing, we made the determination that we needed to be there for the safety of the internationally-protected people there and the community itself

NEW TECHNOLOGY TO REMOVE:

based on intelligence.” Carr said it was purely an operational decision and had nothing to do with the city. Carr said if the detachment learned the president of the U.S. was coming to Surrey tomorrow, for one reason or another, it would be handled the same and would mean operating costs. Carr emphasized the dignitaries were the reason for the security measures, adding the RCMP weren’t involved in the 2013 summit, when international entrepreneur and philanthropist Richard Branson came to speak. “He is not an internationallyprotected person… and does not fall under that protocol and mandate,” Carr noted. “When you really peel back the covers, there’s an indirect cost to the city,” he said, but added the $30,000 spent on security for this year’s summit is “peanuts,” when a murder investigation can cost close to $1 million. In 2013, the RCMP’s budget was roughly $113 million.

Murder-suicide confirmed Tom Zytaruk

Now staff Twitter @tomzytaruk

WHALLEY — Police have determined that Kathleen Maximuik, 61, killed her 83-year-old mother Anne Shouchuk before taking her own life. A family member found their bodies inside their house at 13665 111A Ave. on May 1. Cpl. Adam MacIntosh, of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, said police are not releasing how they died “out of respect for the family.”

He said Maximuik had been suffering from “ongoing health concerns” prior to the deaths but he declined to reveal “specifics.” She had been her mom’s primary caregiver, MacIntosh said. Asked what IHIT’s theory is for why Maximuik killed her mom then herself, he replied that the BC Coroner’s Office is still working that out. The murder-suicide drew much media attention to 111A Ave. Danica Baldwin, who lives a few doors down from the women, said she delivered the Now newspaper to their door. “The older one there, she had problems walking, but the younger one was more fit,” she said.

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

First Nations rights may thwart Site C InTheHouse Keith Baldrey

FOLLOW KEITH ON TWITTER

he issues that swirl around B.C.’s biggest-ever megaproject aren’t going away: jobs and a secure, “clean” energy supply versus environmental damage and ignoring some First Nations rights. Those were among the issues at play when the first huge hydroelectric dams were built on the Peace River in the 1960s, and they remain attached to the latest dam – Site C – envisioned for the same waterway today. The recent, mammoth (450-plus pages) report by a joint review panel flagged all those same issues, but didn’t side one way or another on whether the dam should be built. There is a lot of onthe-one-hand-but-on-theother-hand reasoning in the report, which can be used by either side in the debate to bolster its arguments.

But there is one big, important difference between the debate or legalities of today compared to the 1960s: the First Nations now have very real, court-upheld constitutional rights that weren’t a factor in the construction of the first dams, but which could ultimately block Site C’s construction today. And the panel devoted more than 30 pages in its report addressing First Nations issues, an indication of the importance it attaches to how those interests must be weighed in the eventual decision for the project. The dam would have “significant adverse effect” on local First Nations’ “traditional use” of the land, including hunting and trapping, the panel found. We’re not talking here about the court-mandated requirement to “consult and accommodate” First Nations that impact so many land use decisions. These rights run far deeper, and are entrenched in section 35 of the Constitution. Further, the valley to be flooded by Site C encompasses Treaty 8 territory, which affects 21 different First Nations bands. Treaty 8 specifically gives those First Nations

the right to “pursue their usual vocations of hunting, trapping and fishing throughout the tract” of land in question. So, unless the panel’s analysis and conclusions on this one issue are completely off the mark, the Site C dam seems to be facing one heck of a steep mountain to get over before construction could begin. As is so often the case, much of the controversy over Site C has focused on other issues over the years. For example, there are those who bemoan the potential loss of valuable agriculture land if Site C was built. The dam would indeed flood about 3,800 hectares of potential agricultural land, but the panel found that would have an “insignificant” impact on crop production because the land isn’t terribly suited to high-end crop production. In fact, the annual loss in terms of crop

production would amount to a measly $220,000. Opponents of Site C have also seized on the argument that it would greatly harm all kinds of wildlife and disrupt or destroy various migratory patterns. Not so, found the panel, at least when it came to moose, elk, deer or bears, the dominant species in the region (however, some bird, bat and fish habitats would indeed be adversely affected). The panel expressed doubts about various arguments put forth by B.C. Hydro in advocating for the dam, on everything from cost estimates to the timeline for future energy needs. In fact, in its closing summary, the panel specifically concluded that B.C. Hydro had not made the case that Site C was needed in the near future. But the panel also acknowledged that B.C.’s energy needs will increase

over time and therefore more power generation will be needed. The question is not whether a new power facility (Site C or some other one) should be built, but when. This conclusion alone is likely enough to convince the B.C. Liberal government to give the project the green light when it ultimately makes its final decision this fall. But as with so many major land use decisions, the government may find that ultimately First Nations’ rights can thwart all kinds of political desires.

Legendary Premier W.A.C. Bennett was able to dismiss all kinds of protests when he ordered those other dams to be built, and a government can continue to successfully ignore environmental and agricultural objections when it comes to things like dams. But ignoring First Nations rights? That’s a very different proposition, and even Wacky Bennett wouldn’t get away with that today.

After 65 years, Lions Club calls it quits

Peace Arch Monarchs Lions Club is disbanding after giving to the community in some form since 1947 Christopher Poon

Now contributor Twitter @questionchris

WHITE ROCK — The Peace Arch Monarchs Lions Club and will officially disband at the end of June following dwindling memberships and an inability to attract new members. The organization’s members came to the reluctant decision on April 17, after it was made clear there were not enough bodies to form an executive board and carry on into the future. “So we were not able to come up with a full executive board and we did not have much choice, the mood was not good,” said Kyle McKay, club secretary. “It was sad and a very, very hard decision to make. Most of us are volunteers because we enjoy being volunteers and know what we’re doing for the community: however, we know we can only do so much.” With the club’s members getting up there in age McKay said the end was inevitable age-related health problems increasingly began to affect the group’s ability to continue the work same level of work. “We had another member that had open heart surgery a month ago, we have four members in their 90s now, so we just don’t have the membership anymore for our work projects, it’s really too bad,” explained McKay. Last December, the club’s chairman of the membership committee, Sandy McKenzie, made a push to recruit new members as the 2014 White Rock Polar Bear Swim was in jeopardy. The event was one of the club’s most popular fundraisers and McKenzie hoped at that time that they would be able to gain enough new young members to continue. Unfortunately, said McKay, the young people never came. “There’s a lot of protocol when you’re dealing with an international organization like the Lions Club and they’ve tried online meetings for the younger people but then they don’t get the camaraderie and it still doesn’t hold people together,” she said. The Peace Arch Monarchs Lions Club started in 1986 after the original club, the White Rock Lions Club, disbanded that same year. The “Monarchs” portion of the name was due to the senior members of the White Rock club wanting to continue on. Prior to that, the White Rock Lions Club had been operating since its chartering in 1947 – a decade before White Rock officially became a city.

It was sad and a very, very hard decision to make.… We know we can only do so much. Some of the original Lions Club’s early work includes funding for the South Surrey indoor pool, donating a bus to the PAH and building an exercise circuit at Centennial Park. Member Al Lewis has been a Lions Club member for 53 years and, like McKay, is sad to see it all come to an end. Having been part of both iterations of the club, Lewis said it was a shame the organization could not live on. “It’s a disappointment for the community, all of the funds we raised went straight out into the community and that’s going to be a loss,” he said. “The thing is, we have to have bodies to take projects on and it seems that in today’s society it’s tougher for people to commit themselves as members.” During his time as a Peace Arch and White Rock Lion, Lewis recalls the most members at any one time hovered at around 100. When the group closes shop later this year, it will do so with just eight members.

As for the White Rock Lioness Club, which will also be disbanding, McKay said the two groups shared in a lot of the same initiatives but remained apart in order to qualify for B.C. gaming grants separately from the Peace Arch Monarchs. “We thought about joining the two clubs together but we would get $36,000 a year from the gaming commission and so did the Lionesses, so they thought if they were to fold and join together, the community would be getting $36,000 less a year,” said McKay. “The Lions’ mandate was that every dollar we raised with the community had to go back into the community and between the two clubs, we put more than $70,000 a year into the community,” said McKay. “That’s a big loss, a huge loss.” The clubs will leave behind a long legacy of charitable community work, including annual donations to the Peace Arch Hospital, the Kent Street Seniors Centre, the White Rock Youth Ambassadors Program and high school bursaries and scholarships, to name a few. They officially disband on June 30 but will continue their weekly meat draws at Sawbucks Pub on Saturday afternoons until the end of May. cpoon@thenownewspaper.com

Addiction recovery program in Newton

WelcomeHome works for these grads Gord Goble

Now contributor goble@shaw.ca

EWTON — There was a graduation ceremony in Surrey last week, but it wasn’t the typical grad affair. Here, students didn’t merely celebrate an end to lectures and stern professors and midnight cramming. Instead, they celebrated a return to life. Life, you see, is worthy of celebration, particularly when you’ve missed so much of it. Take Kelly Dyle, for example. Now age 30, the Quesnelborn woman has “struggled with addiction” since she was 13. “By 2012, I was homeless. I’d lost my children, and was doing anything I could do to get loaded. I couldn’t have face-to-face conversations or wear a short-sleeved shirt. I’d basically given up on life.” Dan Falconer has a similar backstory. Born in Regina, he didn’t like himself much during his school years. He tried to fit in but ultimately ended up gravitating toward the stoners and the users. In the years following school, he worked restaurant kitchens and became a regular at late-night parties that often Nathan Driggs ensued. Soon, he says, “I was relying on cocaine just to get to the next day.” He alienated family and friends and moved from town to town, “to try to distance myself from it. But no matter where I went, there I was.” And then there’s Nathan Driggs. A daily user of heroin and Xanax, the Phoenix native had set himself up in Las Vegas, where scoring was easier. Self-esteem had always been an issue for Driggs and, once in Vegas, he “didn’t think recovery or a normal life would ever be possible.” Enter Surrey’s WelcomeHome Life-Skills Academy. Launched in 2003 when furniture magnate John Volken sold his 150-store United Furniture Warehouse chain to found the John Volken Foundation, WelcomeHome has as its focus a two-year addiction recovery program designed to morph the members of its 19-to-35 age group demographic from down-and-out user to up-and-coming winner. For a one-time $5,000 “intake fee,” students are fed, housed nearby and, hopefully, weaned off their addictions. They partake in activities together, learn together and are taught job skills in the Foundation-owned Price Pro grocery store, located below the academy. It is very much a

Kelly Dyle addresses certain members of the audience during the WelcomeHome Life-Skills Academy grad ceremony in Newton on May 4, thanking them for their support and input. (Photo: GORD GOBLE) group effort. And if our three examples are any indication, WelcomeHome works – at least for the sincere. Today, Dyle, one of five graduates at the most recent WelcomeHome grad ceremony, held Sunday, May 4, is outwardly the polar opposite of her prior self. Seemingly free of the demons that plagued her, she oozes confidence as she spoke to the suit-and-tie crowd. Candid about her past yet looking at a present brimming with accomplishment – including becoming a program director at the academy and getting her children back in her life – she exemplifies what WelcomeHome is all about. Fellow graduate Faloner has been gainfully employed since January. And he’s going to school to become the social worker he himself had so badly needed for most of his younger years. For Driggs, meanwhile, the ceremony marked not just the end of the program, but the end of his stay in B.C. ViSit oUr SHoWrooM

The following day, he returned to Phoenix to reconnect with family and start anew, with a “100 per cent different” outlook on life. It wasn’t easy. Driggs describes the two-year program as “pretty rigid. I was initially shut off from friends and family for eight months before I was even allowed a phone call or visitor.” Falconer says it “took nearly a year for it to set in,” while Dyle refers to the “blood, sweat, and tears” of her experience in the program. At the outset of the ceremony, a large group of young people rose to their feet and delivered, powerfully and loudly, the foundation’s “Student Promise.” To say it felt a wee bit army isn’t stretching the truth. But it also felt earnest. Indeed, the entire evening was a study in camaraderie and sincerity. Army? Maybe. But in this war, there didn’t seem to be many losers. Not on this night.

Cloverdale

Famous Clydesdales team featured at weekend rodeo Tom Zillich

Now staff Twitter @tomzillich

CLOVERDALE — The Oklahoma-based Express Clydesdales make a rare visit to Canada this week. The team of powerful draft horses is a featured attraction at Cloverdale Rodeo & Country Fair, which runs from May 16 to 19. The horses have travelled the continent to appear at special events, including Calgary Stampede, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade and the Tournament of Roses parade. “They’re impressive to watch in action,” said Terry Stewart, who has long worked to bring the team to Cloverdale’s big event. Stewart is the local franchisee of Express Employment Professionals, the team’s title sponsor. “They don’t often come to Canada because you can imagine what it takes to get the team across the border,” Stewart said. Each horse stands 18 hands high and weighs around a ton, which gives them the strength to pull the 3,000-pound custom wagon that carries the team’s drivers. Three years ago in Calgary, the Express Clydesdales wagon carried the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (William and Kate) during a Stampede-kickoff event. In Cloverdale this weekend, the six-horse

team will appear in each of the five rodeo performances and also in the rodeo parade, on Saturday morning (May 17). On Friday (May 16) starting at 4:30 p.m., the horses will pose for photos during the rodeo’s Chili Cookoff event, at Clover Square Village, at Highway 10 and 177B Street. This marks the 68th annual edition of Cloverdale rodeo and the 126th country fair, held every May Day long weekend. At the rodeo, the world’s top-ranked cowboys and cowgirls will compete for a total of $328,000 in cash prizes in four main events – saddle bronc, bull riding, bareback and ladies barrel racing. Meanwhile, Cloverdale’s youngest riders will have their chance to shine in Mutton Bustin’ action during all five rodeo performances. The country fair will feature B.C.’s largest travelling midway, a classic car show, lumberjack action, a barbecue competition and more. Also, the third annual World Freestyle Round-Up Skateboard Competition will feature some head-turning moves from Friday to Monday. The action will include demos and competitions focused on highly technical tricks performed on a concrete floor using a “battle” format, in which skateboarders compete as a group. see › page 13

Advertorial

Taking kids/grandkids to money school Parker L’Abbee Wealth Management Team of RBC Dominion Securities As anyone who has visited a toy store with a child or grandchild knows, kids understand the concept of spending money at an early age. What children don’t always learn is how to save and spend wisely.

Here are some of the saving and investing basics your children or grandchildren can enjoy learning. They can practice these skills every day, no matter how young they are. Learning to earn Paying your children an allowance is a good way for them to learn the value of money. It also opens the door to a discussion about the essentials of financial planning, such as banking, saving and spending. One way you can allocate a child’s allowance is to divide it into three pools – one for spending, another for saving and a third for sharing with charities. This helps children not only understand the value of budgeting and saving, but also helps them develop a sense of social responsibility by giving to charitable causes. Beginning to budget Offer to help your older children establish a workable budget. The budget could factor in money they earn or receive, regular expenses they expect to incur, and the savings they need for specific goals. Budgeting can help them distinguish between short-term savings (a new CD or DVD), medium-term savings (a new bike or game console), and long-term savings (a car or post-secondary education). Investing for growth As your children grow older, you can teach them the basics of investing. The first step might be to open a savings account for them. This is your opportunity to discuss how banks pay interest for money on deposit. With straightforward compound-interest calculations, you can show how a regular amount set aside each month can grow. As a next step, try letting your older children invest in a company that produces something they know and like, or a mutual fund that invests in these companies. Showing them where to find information on their holdings in newspapers and on the Internet will make tracking their investment fun, and give them a real sense of ownership. For complimentary financial literacy kits designed for ages 6 to 20 years plus, please e-mail debbie.labbee@rbc.com or call 604-535-5835.

ROAD CLOSURE NOTICE

NORTH DELTA — The fourth annual Laura Szendrei Walk, Run & Roll is set for Sunday, June 1. This year, the fundraising event will be held at North Delta Secondary’s track, at 11447 82nd Ave. Event registrants will walk the school track, as opposed to the street route that began and ended at Burnsview Secondary in past years. “It’s a good move, because it keeps everyone in one spot and makes it more of a special event,” said Brian White, president of Laura Szendrei Memorial Scholarship Foundation. “It took a lot of volunteers – 230 Laura Szendrei – to man that route last year, and we won’t need anywhere near that (at North Delta Secondary).” To date, the Walk, Run & Roll has raised close to $100,000 for scholarships for Delta students, White said. Last year, 750 people participated in the event, held in memory of the North Delta teen beaten to death in September 2010. “We just want to get the community out for this special event,” said White, adding that live entertainment has become a focus of the fundraiser. “I’d like to see it become more of a music festival,” he said. “The track has a berm that is a natural stadium-seating kind of thing. It’s perfect for live music.” For registration information, visit lswalkrunroll.com/ registration or call 778-435-3004.

Surrey’s largest elementary school opens in East Clayton Christopher Poon

Now staff Twitter @tomzillich

EAST CLAYTON — One of the densest communities in Surrey is seeing just a bit more relief of late following the opening of the district’s largest elementary school. Katzie Elementary opened its doors in the East Clayton in mid-April, taking much pressure off of the nearby Hazelgrove Elementary, which was serving nearly

double its original student capacity. Built in 2009, Hazelgrove was constructed to house 530 students and prior to Katzie opening the school served 1,070. Now Hazelgrove’s numbers have been reduced to a more manageable level, and students in Katzie can finally enjoy learning in a classroom rather than one of Hazelgrove’s 19 portables. “The community as been waiting for this opportunity and the kids themselves have been very excited to explore the

new building,” said Katzie principal Ross Brennan. “The community certainly deserves the beautiful building they have.” The new school is the district’s largest constructed elementary, with 630 student spaces — though Chimney Hill Elementary has a greater capacity since expanding. Surrey school board chair Shawn Wilson said Katzie’s opening was in the nick of time, as the area simply could not squeeze any more students into Hazelgrove. “There was quite a bit of concern when

Hazelgrove opened and you had portables going up pretty much on opening day, so this is a big relief,” said Wilson. “I still think there’s going to be more demand and Katzie is likely going to be full in a year’s time.” Now, Wilson said, the focus is on getting started with opening a secondary school in the area, as the graduates of Katzie and Hazelgrove really have nowhere to go. “It’s really a top priority for the board, we really need it now,” said Wilson.

Provincial Cup soccer

Surrey United falls short of rare three-peat Team’s lack of scoring in championship game halts bid to score a third provincial title in a row

Honestly, it’s disappointing. When you get to this stage you want to complete the job and get another one.… I thought we played well for 90 minutes.

Gord Goble

BURNABY – Surrey United Firefighters have missed the chance to become three-peat Men’s Provincial A Champions after losing 1-0 to Croatia FC in the final on Saturday (May 10). Had they won the game, United would’ve become the first team in 32 years to win the cup three consecutive years. Rob Reed, Surrey’s head coach, said he is proud of his squad despite not being able to win the cup again. “Honestly, it’s disappointing. When you get to this stage you want to complete the job and get another one,” Reed said. “I thought we played well for 90 minutes. We just couldn’t find a way to score. That was the issue. “They managed to score one on us, and you have to tip your hat to them for holding that one goal the entire game,” he said. Surrey started the game on the front foot. After five minutes, they failed to convert on a turnover with a shot wide to the keeper’s right post. Surrey maintained the pressure, and 10 minutes later had an opportunity to score from a corner kick, but the resulting header flew wide of goal. Croatia showed a first glimpse of life on a counter attack at 18 minutes, but the striker’s shot grazed past the post. However, nine minutes later, Croatia tapped the ball into the goal from close range after Surrey turned the ball over in their third of

(Photo: KYLE BENNING) the field. In the opening 10 minutes of the second half, Croatia remained in control of the match not allowing Surrey to put them under pressure.

At the hour mark, Croatia missed a chance to double its lead after the Surrey goalkeeper stopped a shot from point-blank. Eleven minutes later, Surrey started to put

Croatia under real pressure with a string of set pieces and shots, but none of them put the Croatia keeper under any real pressure. Croatia had one more chance to kill off the game

on a breakaway counter attack in the final 10 minutes, but the Surrey goalkeeper sprawled across and knocked the ball loose to kill the threat. Surrey threw everything

except the kitchen sink in the dying minutes, but they couldn’t break down Croatia’s defense. Even though the United couldn’t win the last match of their season, Reed is happy with how the season went. “It was a great year, it just didn’t end on the perfect note,” Reed said. “I’m extremely proud of the players. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.”

Surrey, Delta gymnasts selected for Team B.C. Ten athletes from Surrey and Delta are among 108 gymnasts who will represent British Columbia at the 2014 Canadian Gymnastics Championships in Ottawa from May 26 to 31. The athletes were named to the team following a series of trials held this winter and spring. Leading the way is Surrey’s Shallon Olsen (Omega Gymnastics Academy) who will compete in women’s artistic gymnastics in Ottawa. The 13-year-old is seeking her fourth straight Canadian title. She previously won the novice title in 2011 and the junior titles in 2012 and 2013. The Canadian Gymnastics Championships are hosted annually throughout Canada. Over 1,000 athletes, coaches and officials will travel to Ottawa to compete for the right to be considered the best gymnasts in Canada. The Surrey and Delta contingent includes: Taylor Oakley (Flicka Gymnastics), Douglas Armstrong (Flicka), Owen Armstrong (Flicka), Alllyson Armstrong (Langley Gymnastics), Amanda Wright (Shasta Trampoline Club), Brittany Falconer (Shasta), Jordan Wilmshurst (Shasta), Liam Doherty (Shasta) and Kevin Naismith (Surrey Gymnastics Society). Elsewhere, Surrey Gymnastics Society members turned in strong showing at a pair of late-April meets. At the Western Canadian Gymnastics Championships in Saskatoon, Surrey’s Alanna Jones, 20, placed ninth overall in the Provincial 5 Open category highlighted by a gold medal in the vault. In the Elite 4 men’s category, 12-year-old Treyson Cerrato of South Surrey took home bronze in the all-around standings thanks to gold medals in the floor and vault, and a silver for the high bar. Meanwhile at the girls’ Zone 3

Championships in Coquitlam, South Surrey’s Sarah Tobin, 11, won the gold all-around medal for the Provincial 2 Tyro category. Her highlights included first place finishes on the uneven bars and balance beam as well as a fourth place showing on the floor exercises. SGS teammate and North Delta resident Eva Woodward, 11, claimed bronze in the all-around for the same category. She also placed first on the floor and second on the uneven bars. In the Provincial 2 Tyro category, 10-yearold Cassandra Principe of Surrey claimed silver in the all-around in addition to gold medals for the vault and floor, and bronze for the uneven bars. Teammate Makiah Anderson, 11, was fifth overall highlighted by a third on the floor. Ten-year-old Maria Bashko of North Delta shone in the Provincial 2 Argo category where she took top all-around honours as well as gold medals for the uneven bars and floor exercises, plus silver medals for the vault and balance beam. Chenay Wong, 10, was fifth overall and earned a silver medal on the uneven bars. In Provincial 1 Tyro category, 12-year-old Monaeya Silveira took home the all-around gold thanks to first place finished on the vault, uneven bars and floor. North Delta’s Kelsey Snow, 10, captured the all-around silver medal in the Provincial 1 Argo category as well as gold for the balance beam. Competing in the Provincial 1 Argo category, eight-year-old Anna Polunocheva took silver in the all-around standings while teammate Alice Bashko was third overall and Chloe Dickson earned gold for the floor exercises. In the Provincial 1 Argo category, Avery Harrison, 7, took top honours for the vault.

City workers begin full-scale strike Christopher Poon

Now staff Twitter @questionchris

WHITE ROCK — After three days of rotating strikes failed to spur negotiations between the city and employees, White Rock CUPE city workers upped the ante this week by moving to full-scale strike action. Beginning Monday, workers set up pickets at various city facilities, including city hall, the municipal operations yard and the White Rock Community Centre. “The union has shown we are prepared to negotiate and find constructive solutions, but the City will not negotiate,” said CUPE 402-01 President Mike Guraliuk of moving to a full-scale strike. “We don’t take this action lightly, but we feel this is our only option at this point.” The announcement came after three days of rotating strikes, the first of which took place on May 2. Days two and three of the strike took place a week after on May 8 and 9. While the first day of action affected city hall workers, the second and third days focused on the city’s public works yard, shutting down garbage collection and roadwork on those days. However, with striking workers now off the job everywhere, everything that was impacted previously by the rotating strikes will be so on an ongoing basis, including garbage collection, clerical duties at city hall, and bylaw and paid parking enforcement. Guraliuk said the union hopes this will be a wake-up call for the White Rock mayor, council and senior management. CUPE National Representative Rob Limongelli, who is also the negotiator for White Rock workers, said he was disappointed by the city’s lack of response to the job action. “Unless they come to the bargaining table and are ready to talk, we’re not going to be coming back,” he said. “Obviously

After three days of rotating strikes, workers have now taken their plight city-wide. (Photo: CHRISTOPHER POON) the mayor has an agenda and doesn’t think our employees are valued for their work. So we’re withdrawing our services to show how serious we are.” Additionally, Limongelli said White Rock’s mayor and council needs to show some leadership in the matter, especially with an election coming up later this year. “The mayor is going to be running for office in a few months and asking for our vote,” he said. “Well, we’ll remember Wayne’s strike and we’ll be at every meeting he’s at when he’s trying to get elected. “No councillor has said anything to us either, they’re silent so we assume they

support the mayor, but come November, when they’re all running again for reelection, we’ll be reminding the city about this.” White Rock city manager Dan Bottrill said on Friday that the union had yet to approach them about any further labour talks, instead having opted to move to job action. “Although they’ve indicated to the media that they wish to get back to the table, they’ve not proposed any further dates to us,” he said. Instead Bottrill said the city has taken the lead on trying to get back to the table by

getting in touch with the Labour Relations Board, which the city is currently waiting to hear back from. “So we don’t mind taking a lead role in trying to get the parties meeting together even though it was the union that left the table,” said Bottrill. “We’re obviously looking to ensure that our mediator is available because I think at this point, we need help between the two parties. I still feel that that’s the case and having a mediator there to help the two parties come together and reach a settlement that meets both parties’ needs is going to be crucial.”

NEWS White Rock

City has no appetite yet for food trucks on beach Christopher Poon

Now staff Twitter @questionchris

WHITE ROCK — Beachgoers won’t be seeing food trucks down on the city’s waterfront this summer, as the city has decided to look further into the matter. In a presentation to council, staff reported on a recent open house held to gauge public feedback on possibly allowing the trucks in White Rock. According to Karen Cooper, the city’s director of planning and development, 41 people attended the food truck open house, with mixed verbal feedback. However, written comments were primarily positive and 64 per cent of the questionnaires were also positive. “There were only four letters in opposition,” said Cooper, noting that there were a number of concerns and benefits brought up, such as how it may affect local businesses or increase tourism. Coun. Helen Fathers wondered if the city might do better to hold a food truck festival of sorts, similar to what’s done

in Vancouver, rather than have trucks throughout the season. Fathers also went on to say that if the city does end up allowing food trucks, it needs to be decided if they would be self-contained like the ones at the farmers’ market, or if they need additional support. Fellow councillor Louise Hutchinson said they would need to thoroughly look at how it would affect the local economy and wondered if adding more food options really was the answer. “I think that food trucks can make in a season what it takes our full time business to earn in a year,” she said. “We don’t need anymore commercial ventures on the beach in the way of food.” Ultimately, Cooper said staff would like more time to research the potential program and understand how a White Rock food truck program might look. In the meantime, the city was moving forward with its food cart program, set to roll out later this spring.

Water Sports & Recreation of Times Gone By,” which opens Saturday, May 17 at the waterfront facility. “Summertime in White Rock can stir up fond memories with one main thread linking them together: Semiahmoo Bay,” exhibit organizers state. “The waters and beach near the big rock have drawn people in for decades. White Rock became a day trip destination for people from Vancouver and New Westminster when the Great Northern Railway was rerouted through the area in 1909. The town boomed within the next five years

COMMUNITY White Rock Christian Academy

Nearly a third of school brings ‘Mermaid’ to stage Kristi Alexandra

Now contributor Twitter @kristialexandra

he kids at White Rock Christian Academy have been giving up their lunch breaks and Saturday afternoons to rehearse their school’s production of The Little Mermaid. Led by artist-in-residence Sheila Reader-Romo, 120 kids from grades one to 11 are geared up to perform in the Junior Broadway drama based on the original story by Hans Christian Andersen — more widely known as the animated Disney flick of the same title. White Rock Christian Academy currently doesn’t have a drama or theatre program, so the time invested is all volunteer and extra-curricular for the students involved – and they’re working hard at it. “They don’t have a musical theatre program here and they don’t have a drama program here, but it’s a dream,” says ReaderRomo. “When they see it on stage, they get inspired. If I can even inspire just one child – or even two or three – to do this, or feel a part of something, because some

kids don’t want to do sports but they shine on the stage.” The relatively small school, which currently serves 375 students, is including about a third of them as cast members in the production. The huge interest in drama, ReaderRomo said, is a big reason she chose to feature The Little Mermaid instead of the alternative choice, Pinocchio. “This was the one that really spoke to me because there’s a lot of parts for a lot of kids to come on stage and shine,” she said. “The seagull, Scuttle, can sing, and then I’ve got the chef with the eight chefs, and then I’ve got the sailors and the pilot and then I’ve got Sebastian and Grimsby and Ariel and the six sisters, so there’s tons of parts that I could really incorporate. There wasn’t just one lead, there wasn’t just a couple people who would have speaking or singing parts. They all have solos.” Of the 120 students, that includes both a choir of singers who don’t have speaking parts, as well as a myriad of grade one and two students who pop up as different sea creatures during the show.

Leading cast member Halle Penner plays Ariel, while a charismatic Megan Davidson performs as the evil sea witch Ursula and Elijah Burns plays Prince Eric. Additional grade 12 students managed the painting of the undersea set, complete with glittering lights and a seashell throne for Triton, king of the ocean. In addition to instructing

and directing the play, Reader-Romo also designed the costumes, including mermaid and merman tails. White Rock Christian Academy’s production of The Little Mermaid debuts on Wednesday, May 14 at 7 p.m. at the school, 2265 152nd St., Surrey. The production will also be shown on Thursday, May 15 at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m., and on Friday, May 16 at 7 p.m.

Halle Penner plays Ariel in White Rock Christian Academy’s production of The Little Mermaid, which will be staged this week at the school, 2265 152nd St., South Surrey. Close to 120 of the school’s students are involved in the production.
