Stuart DerdeynThe Province

In 2013, the Surrey Fusion Festival wonthe International Gala Award for thebest festival.

Event presenter John Donnelly knewthe two-day event at Holland Park in therenewed Surrey Centre was somethingspecial.

“But in a category with 60 submissionsfrom 30 countries where they choosea top three, we were there alongsidethe Democratic National Conventioncelebration party for Barack Obama and theopening night of the Toronto Jazz Festival,”Donnelly says.

“And we won.”What made the event resonate so well

with the judges and with the 75,000-pluswho passed through this weekend is that theSurrey Fusion Festival has both a clear senseof purpose and brilliant execution.

Firstly, it is a family affair that reallyrepresents the surrounding largecommunity.

The impressive variety of cultural groupsand organizations, as well as regionalbusinesses like the B.C. Chicken Growersand other agricultural enterprises exhibitingin the cultural pavilion, means the city in itsentirety is represented.

I don’t doubt there is a good chance manyattending are also pulling shifts in one ofthose booths where they happen to also beemployed.

So it is sort of a big/little affair; a day outin the park where you can dance to upbeatMC jams at the Salvadorean booth, get yourhands decorated in some truly lush mehndiand — duh — eat your freaking face off.

Seriously, the 40 different internationalkitchens that dished out reasonably pricedand well prepared fare makes share-style

feasting a must.Sip on a Colombian pineapple — literally

the whole emptied out shell with the corerefilled with liquefied pineapple — whilesavouring some Georgian salmon in walnutsauce or Ghanaian honey jerk chicken stewwith jollof rice and some slow burn sauce allwashed down with some chai ice cream.

Or would you prefer some Argentiniangrilled meat sandwich with a kick-upof (superb) Togolese hot sauce and aGuatemalan fried crepe with cinnamon andsugar cane syrup?

Messy and, in all ways, delicious.Basically, you need two stomachs. Or

you just come two days in a row. I highlyrecommend sharing everything to improvethe geographic scope of your culinary tour.

You could cozy down to some dirtyone-man-band blues courtesy of AussieAsh Grunwald, or maybe the hypnoticallyprecise percussion of the Korean TraditionalArts Society Drummers.

There was even an all-day powwow stage

which is probably the best representationFirst Nations culture gets at any regionalcommunity festival.

All of it was well curated to give the bestpossible exposure to artists who mostlyhail from the municipality, plus the nightlyConcord World Music Stage ringers.

This year, that meant Saturday nightfeatured the one-two-three punch of busyfestival circuit groups singer-songwriterAidan Knight, the Boom Booms and HeyOcean!

Canadian folk/rock legend BruceCockburn closed out the evening.

Sunday night, people got their Afro-Latin vibe on with Juno Award-winningguitarist Alpha Yaya Diallo, the dance-happyOrquesta Tropicana and flamenco-fusionistPavlo.

This entire event happened free of charge.No surprise that thousands of peopleflocked to the easy-to-access site from wellbeyond Surrey.

Fusion Festivalwill keep growing

Surrey’s annual Fusion Festivaltook over Holland Park thisweekend, and despite a bit of

rain, it went off without a hitch.“We had five stages and over 100

performers throughout the twodays. There’s always somethingto see, there’s always dancing andthere’s always music,” said Coun.Mary Martin, who chairs the city’sdiversity advisory committee.

She said this year’s event wasphenomenal, “even with a little bitof rain.”

Martin expects the festival tocontinue growing in future years.

“I think we’re going to need abigger park soon,” she mused.

Coun. Linda Hepner also expectsthe festival to continue to grow infuture years, particularly in 2016,when the City of Surrey is playinghost to the 2016 Women’s WorldFastpitch Championships – an eventthat Mayor Dianne Watts and Coun.Tom Gill flew to Colombia to snag.

In fact, Hepner said one of thereasons the city was the successfulbidder on that event was because ofFusion Festival’s success.

She hopes to see the city tie thetwo events together in 2016.

“In 2016 we may have two sites,”she said, “One site, and then at leastsomething going on around thesoftball site as well, that encouragespeople, maybe by shuttle to go up.”

Overall, Hepner is proud of howpopular the Fusion Festival hasbecome.

“It works to bring us togetherinstead of divide us,” Hepner said.“I’m convinced that it’s a really goodcommunity builder.”

SURREY — “Someone once said to me,‘You know, being in Surrey isn’t a veryfashionable part of the Lower Mainland,’”Fincad CEO Bob Park said from his officein Whalley’s Central City Tower, where thefinancial analytics software firm has beenheadquartered for a decade.

“My answer to that was, ‘Given ourbusiness and the nature of our clientsin New York and London and Zurichand many other places, Vancouver isn’t aparticularly fashionable place for a financialtechnology company.’”

The suburb hasn’t quite cultivated thechic image carried by London or New York,two cities in which Fincad opened branchoffices this past May in the midst of double-digit revenue growth.

But in the last few months at least twoother tech firms have been lured to Surrey,in part due to city hall’s recent developmentof the Innovation Boulevard tech businesscentre.

Park said Fincad was fortunate in thatit moved to the area before it was knownas Innovation Boulevard and retooled its

software platforms just before the 2008financial crisis.

When it launched 24 years ago, Fincadwas mainly offering desktop tools designedfor financial professionals. In 2006, thecompany began looking to math whizzeswith Wall Street experience to collaboratewith software developers designing morecomplex enterprise-valuation and risk-analytics platforms.

“The risk-management tools andtechniques that were being used before thefinancial crisis were not up to the task,” Parksaid, adding that software sales ground to ahalt in the months after the meltdown.

But by the spring of 2009, the marketopened up for the more complex risk-analysis software Fincad had begundeveloping before the crisis. Park said thecompany’s revenue grew by 20 per cent lastyear, which helped convince Fincad that itneeded more worldwide offices.

If Fincad weren’t headquartered inInnovation Boulevard, the CEO said he’dbe concerned about where the growingcompany would end up once its currentspace gets too tight.

“There are very limited alternatives rightnow,” he said, “but we see that improvingquite significantly between now and 2016.”

Coast Capital Savings is set to become theanchor tenant of a nine-storey building justdown the street from Fincad. A few blocksin the other direction, a 52-storey mixed-usehotel and residential complex is scheduledfor completion in two years.

Coun. Bruce Hayne, chairman of the city’sinvestment and innovation committee, saidthese developments and the rapid growthof tech firms like Fincad have “an elevatingeffect on our business image.”

Conquer Mobile, which specializes in3D imaging and virtual reality simulationsfor health-care education, is moving its

headquarters to Surrey when the lease for itsVancouver office expires within a year.

The Emergo Group, a medical devicecompany based in Austin, Texas, hademployees and contractors working atoffices throughout the Lower Mainlandafter setting up its Canadian presence in2010. When it came time to amalgamateoperations in Surrey in March, Canadianmanaging director Daryl Wisdahl said herealized many potential clients were alreadyoperating out of Innovation Boulevardwhile most employees were already living inSurrey.

“The reality is Surrey has outgrown thatold reputation and is building a very strongreputation as a leader in technology.”

SURREY — Despite a bit of rain duringthe weekend, a burning ban is still in effectfor the City of Surrey following warmtemperatures and dry weather conditions.

CITY CENTRE – Tineke Donovan isworking the best job she’s ever had. Thebarista has been working at Blenz Coffeeshop in Central City Shopping Centre forjust under a year, but it was a difficult roadto get where she is today.

Donovan suffers from anxiety anddepression, and it has been a struggle for herto deal with it in the past.

“I can take (people’s) body language awhole other way and get really anxiousabout it. It kind of makes me flusteredand I’ll just make mistake after mistakeafter mistake. It’s kind of embarrassing,”Donovan admitted.

But thanks to the Partners for WorkInclusion Program (PWIP), she has beenable to find a job she enjoys.

PWIP is a program from the CanadianCouncil on Rehab and Work, which isfunded by the federal government.

The program is geared towards helpingpeople with short-term training, such asFOODSAFE, WHIMIS and forklift training.

Yenny Paez, the employment outreachspecialist with PWIP, believes that theyare about “bridging the gap” between theemployer and the client.

“A lot of the time, the problemscan be easily solved through effectivecommunication,” Paez said. “We encourage(clients) to talk to us if they’ve had a badday at work.”

One of the key benefits the programoffers is subsidizing up to 50 per cent of theemployees wages for 12 weeks.

After losing her job at a local eatery,Donovan knows that communicationbetween employers and employees is keyand is thankful to the team at PWIP forensuring that everyone is happy with

Donovan’s employment.“Even though I’m no longer subsidized,

they still keep track and keep in contact. It’sactually a really good support system forthat,” said Donovan. But the program keptin touch with her boss and told her that shehad nothing to worry about.

When she lost her previous job, Donovanwent to visit her mother in Squamish andsaid it was one of the lowest points of herlife.

“I was hyperventilating. When youconsider yourself such a valuable employee,then all of a sudden, they tell you goodbye.Who will cut all the lettuce? I did that,”Donovan joked.

She was the first person Tony Lopes – thefranchise owner of Blenz Coffee CentralCity – hired through the program, eventhough he was a little uncertain at first.

“She wasn’t really polished and cameacross a little bit on the rough side. Iwasn’t sure how she would be accepted bycustomers,” Lopes said. “She’s quite a tallgirl who can seem a little overwhelming, butshe’s really soft natured, a good listener andreally shy.

“I love her and I think the customers doas well. It’s kind of don’t judge a book by it’scover type of approach,” Lopes added.

Even though she has to deal with anxietyand depression, Lopes said Donovanremains professional and doesn’t show thoseissues when she is helping customers.

“She’s definitely one that falls off a bicycleand wants to hop straight back on. I’ve seenit many times. Customers give her a realtough time and she kind of goes in the back,shakes her head a few times, comes out andshe’s forgotten it,” said Lopes.

When she was younger, Donovan was notone to “take a handout” but now she’s morewilling to accept help.

“As a teenager, I wasn’t really willing toaccept help from society. I would be morewilling now. I kept constantly denying itand then I was just left alone after a while,”Donovan said.

She is working 36 hours a week at [email protected]

NEWTON – Two years ago, Dylan Vanlimbeek’sconfidence and self-esteem was so low that he couldn’t lookpeople in the eye.

Now the 21-year-old man wears the suit and tie hereceived from the Moores’ Canadian Suit Drive to work inthe furniture department at PricePro.

Vanlimbeek is originally from Toronto, but moved toSurrey so he could enter the John Volken Academy – whichwas formerly called Welcome Home.

The academy is a two-year program for people ages 19 to34 who are addicted to drugs and/or alcohol.

The Torontonian is five weeks away from completing theprogram after turning his life around after being addicted toheroin during the final years of his teens.

“I was dropping out of school,” Vanlimbeek said. “I wasalways just fixed on finding the next best thing I could do,which in my mind at the time was to have fun or to not behere. I chose to do opiates, which would take me out of myenvironment and out of reality and not have to deal withanything. I wasn’t sure or proud of who I was as a person.”

After dropping out of high school, Vanlimbeek moved outof his parents house, but was unable to hold a job for longerthan three months without getting fired or “freaking out”and quitting.

“I tried to take on two jobs to support (living on my own)while supporting a drug addiction and it didn’t work out,”said Vanlimbeek.

Realizing he could no longer lie to his family about beingOK, Vanlimbeek told them about his addiction.

He has an aunt who lives in Victoria, and she showed himthe John Volken Foundation website and recommended hethink about enrolling in the academy.

Vanlimbeek knew it was something he had to do.“I knew it’s what I needed to do to get out of my

environment of where I was before and get as far away towhat I was familiar with. It’s also the idea of starting a newlife – to be somewhere different,” he said.

Gabrielle Steed, an employee of the foundation, said thefirst six months was extremely tough on Vanlimbeek. She saidhe had no confidence and was always shy and kept to himselfand doubted his ability. However once he settled, Vanlimbeekstarted to thrive in his new environment and found himselfas student council president for his graduating class. Afterdropping out of high school in his teens, Vanlimbeek alsocompleted his education while in the academy.

This is the fifth year of the annual Moores’ CanadianSuit Drive, and Azeem Panjwani – the company’s regionalmanager for B.C. – said it is only getting bigger.

“It’s been quite overwhelming actually to see how manypeople in the community, once they start finding out that

Suit helps young Surrey man on road to recoveryMoores’ Canadian Suit Drive

we’re collecting gently-used clothing, to be able to donate toorganizations that support men trying to get dressed up toimpress for interviews, for jobs, for the opportunity to getback in the community and give back a little bit,” Panjwanisaid. “It has got better every year.”

In return for their donation, which can only be handed infor the month of July, Moores’ offers customers a coupon toreceive 50 per cent off their next purchase.

The Editor,Re: “SkyTrain expansion would be

cheaper, faster than LRT, says Surreycitizens’ group,” the Now online.

So Daryl Dela Cruz wants SkyTrain andhe has formed a group to bang the drumfor SkyTrain in Surrey.

SkyTrain is a proprietary railway and itspatents are held by both Bombardier andSNC Lavalin, which after over 35 yearson the market has only managed to buildseven such systems world wide.

All the SkyTrains sold thus far havebeen in private deals, with many wheelsthoroughly greased, to ensure SkyTrain’sconstruction. SkyTrain has never beenallowed to compete against modern LightRail Transit and for good reason – it is adated and inferior transit system.

During the same period, more than 150new LRT systems have been built, withscores more under construction or in thefinal stages of planning.

Modern LRT is both cheaper to buildand cheaper to operate than the driverlessSkyTrain mini-metro and has a greatercapacity as well, with the bonus of beingfar more versatile.

With LRT, you get a far bigger bangwith your buck. The City of Ottawa, afterpressure from the federal government, senta delegation to Vancouver to investigateSkyTrain and the delegation found, whatwas already known, SkyTrain cost more to

build, cost more to operate and had lesscapacity than LRT and now building withLRT with trams supplied by Alstom.

One wonders why TransLink still planswith this obsolete mini-metro and whyTransLink’s claims for LRT are oppositeof what the rest of the world has found istrue with SkyTrain. One wonders who ispulling TransLink’s and Cruz’s strings.

Your view

Prepare your eyes, ears and stomachsfor a steady diet of “Yay Surrey”heading into this November’s civic

election.Because Lord knows, it’s being served.Consider Doug McCallum, the city’s

mayor from 1996 to 2005.After his defeat to Dianne Watts,

McCallum slipped out of the limelightwith élan and in the months and yearsthat followed, reporters intending to write“where is he now” stories sighed heavyblasts of frustration trying to find him for aquick chat.

Then, 14 years gone by, McCallumshowed up at the new city hall in Whalleyin March and now he’s running once againfor mayor.

“I have a fire in my belly,” he says.That “fire” must have conveniently

flared up when he found out Watts wasn’trunning.

Also consider the Surrey First slate. Youknow, the guys who’ve been in charge ofcity hall for quite some time.

Surrey First’s Twitter account featuredno less than eight tweets on Nov. 19, 2011,encouraging everyone to get out and vote,and thanking supporters for their support.

But after that, crickets.The Twitter account lay dormant until

this past July 1: “Happy Canada Day to thegreatest city in the greatest country!”

Nary a single tweet during non-electionyears but all a-flutter during.

Coincidence? You be the judge.Surrey First also produced a tweet on

July 16: “Proud to represent Surrey atthe opening of the Canadian FastpitchInternational,” which is – ahem – an annualevent that evidently enjoys extra-specialconsideration during an election year.

DEBATE

Other than beautiful scenery andhaving the same monarch, B.C.and Australia don’t have much in

common.And they have even less in common now,

because Australia has scrapped its carbontax, which is still very much alive andkicking in this province.

The Australian carbon tax was introducedin 2010, by a Labor Party government thathad just won an election after vowing not toimplement such a tax.

However, while the Labor Party won theelection, it did not win a majority of seats.It needed the support of the Green Partyto form government and the price for thatwas giving the Green Party what it wanted: acarbon tax, which Labor had been on recordas opposing before the election.

Needless to say, the public was furious.The Labor Party subsequently changedleaders and said it would repeal the carbontax, but it was still defeated in last year’selection.

There is a striking parallel here, of course,to another tax controversy: the HST thatformer premier Gordon Campbell sprungon an unsuspecting public after the 2009election campaign, during which his partyhad actually stated it had no designs tointroduce such a tax.

Like his Australian counterparts,Campbell was driven from office by a taxrevolt. Except, the critical difference here isthat another big tax brought in by Campbell– the carbon tax – generated no such revolt,and instead appears to have paid off.

In fact, B.C.’s carbon tax actually hurtthe party that opposed it – the NDP, whichopposed the tax after it was introduced in2008, and made its opposition to the tax akey part of its 2009 election platform, whichwas firmly rejected by the voters.

Campbell artfully tied this province’s

carbon tax to a corresponding income taxcut, and a significant rebate scheme for low-income earners.

The result has been that any call for arepeal of the carbon tax in this provincewould be linked to a tax increase. That’sbecause the tax collects about $1.1 billionannually, which pays for almost $200million in tax credits and rebates for lowincome people, plus a five per cent incometax cut ($235 million) and more than $700million for a host of business tax cuts.

Getting rid of the tax, then, wouldincrease everyone’s income tax bill by fiveper cent, hit poor people particularly hard,and hit businesses with tax hikes that wouldinevitably be passed onto consumers. Nowonder the NDP doesn’t talk about the taxmuch these days.

But the carbon tax also appears to behaving the desired impact on what it issupposed to do: lead to a reduction in theuse of carbon.

According to Sustainable Prosperity, anOttawa-based “green” research group, fossilfuel use in B.C. has dropped by 16 per centsince the tax came in. Meanwhile, fossil fueluse in the rest of Canada has actually goneup three per cent in that same time period.

And as for Australia, well, its status as oneof the world’s worst greenhouse gas emittersper capita will continue. The country reliesheavily on its vast reserves of cheap coal forits supply of electricity.

The country has also blown about a $7-billion hole in government revenues overthe next four years, which will undoubtedlyhave negative repercussions for the deliveryof health care, education and social services.

I’m not sure whether the oppositeexperiences of B.C. and Australia whenit comes to a carbon tax means peopleof one jurisdiction are any more or lessenvironmentally friendly than those in theother.

But I do think there’s a lesson here abouthow to introduce new taxes, whether theyare carbon-related or not. The lesson is this:if a government is going to create a new tax,do it just before an election campaign andnot immediately after one.

The B.C. Liberals did that with a carbontax, but failed to do so with the HST. Theparty was badly bruised and was forcedto dump its leader, but still won anotherterm in power. The Australian Labor partyimplemented the carbon tax like the B.C.Liberals handled the HST, and subsequentlychewed up two of its leaders before beingbooted from power.

Playing games with taxes can be verydangerous for governments. B.C.’s carbontax is an example of the right way of playingthe game.

The Editor,We are going into an election in

the fall. None of Surrey’s current citycouncil should be voted in again andwe don’t need the people that were inbefore.

We got a new city hall we did notneed. There was a murder in Newton– and then they got on the bandwagon.We have a big problem with illegal suitesthat means we are losing much moneyin taxes.

Council had lots of time to correctthis. Sure, we got more promises but stillnothing.

They still have time to fix their bylawbut they won’t – too much money fromcontractors and businesses to get thesepeople elected.

Look at the candidates and vote newpeople in. It can’t get much worse.

Overnight parkingban is suite solutionThe Editor,

Re: “How can Surrey quash illegalsuites for good?” the Now, July 17.

If the city was to ban overnightparking on the streets, both the illegalsuite and parking problems would besolved with one stroke of the pen.

It would be a much simpler matter toticket illegally parked cars than to figureout which suites are illegal.

I have never understood whyovernight parking or, for that matter,parking for more than four hours at anytime is allowed.

I paid for my parking spots whenI bought my house with sufficientdriveway room.

Why should I, or any taxpayer,subsidize other people’s street parking?

The Editor,Re: “‘How can Surrey quash illegal

suites for good?” the Now, July 17.Once again, the discussion is mulled

about illegal suites and the “solution.”Unfortunately, the solution has

always been present, but it would beunpopular because of the implicationswith voters who want to have theircake and eat it too.

If the bylaw officers and buildinginspectors were given the manpowerand the support from city council toproperly enforce the laws already onthe books, many illegal suites could bemade to disappear.

Until the city deems this a significantenough problem to properly empowerthe governing departments, illegalsuites will continue to plague ourneighbourhoods.

Until there is a streamlined processfor reporting violators, the problemwill persist. And, until the process forlegally forcing negligent homeownersto remove illegal suites becomes aprudent process that does not spanmultiple years, the problems willpersist.

With all due respect to Coun.Barinder Rasode, the idea of lobbyinganyone to provide funding for thoseearning additional untaxed incomefrom their illegal suites, so they couldbring them up to adequate standards,is once again forcing the responsibletaxpayer to fund the law breaker.

Just as enforcement of laws on theroads and highways requires manpower(out writing the violations), the samecan be said for bylaws.

Involve the taxpayer with an easy wayto report the violators, and empowerthe men and women who go and writethe violations, with your support.

Kris Sorenson, Surrey

Multiple suites arereal problem in cityThe Editor,

Re: “‘How can Surrey quash illegalsuites for good?” the Now, July 17.

I fully support cracking down onillegal suites in Surrey, but just watch

the minority groups squash this as theyclaim it is their right to have all thosepeople live in one home.

Being allowed to have one suiteper house is not the problem – it’swhen there are multiple suites thatfines and mandatory removals shouldtake place (along with unannouncedre-inspections over the next year toensure no re-offences take place).

There is no reason to have thesemassive single-family homes pop upeverywhere in Surrey (single familyhomes, my butt). It is coming to thepoint that there is no affordable starterfamily homes left in Surrey (these arebeing bought, torn down and megahomes erected in their places).

All this means is that if you’re not arenter, don’t bother looking to buy amodest home in Surrey (or, when inSurrey, just make more illegal suites).

Make these suites legal, and thenmaybe the city won’t be screaming formore funding as the proper taxes willfinally be collected and help pay forour schooling and city needs.

Surrey’s resident party spot, MirageNightclub, closed its doors forgood in late June after 18 years of

late-night drinking, entertainment anddancing.

Since its grand closing on June 21, thelot has been a demolition site as ownerand operator Wayne Ferguson wantedto repurpose the space for a more“modern, upscale pub.”

He hopes to see the venue open upin late September in the building thatMirage once occupied.

Mirage Nightclub hosted DJs anddance parties, once even having a 22-year-old Lady Gaga perform in 2008 insupport of her debut release, The Fame.

“We’re gutting it and completelyrenovating it into more of a pub-typeenvironment. We’ll still maintain thelate night hours, but we’ll be openall day for people to come and havelunch and dinner and watch sportingevents and do all that sort of stuff,” saidFerguson, who ran the club with hissons.

This time around, his sons will not beinvolved, he told the Now.

Ferguson said that restrictive workhours and poor utilization of the10,000-square foot building is whatprompted him to make the change.

“The main reason is that it’s a verylarge building and a very large propertyto only be operating 18 hours a week,”he said. “I’ve wanted to do this forquite a while, to be able to put in a fullkitchen and be able to open up the placeseven days a week and all day long.”

After gaining approval to constructa patio from the city, the new ventureis full speed ahead, and Fergusonhopes the new site will attract awider audience than it did as MirageNightclub.

“We’re definitely hoping to broadenour demographic a bit. We figuredwe can hopefully pull a demographic

between 19 and 50 rather than just the19 to 22. That’s why on weekends we’llbe bringing in live entertainment as wellas a DJ,” he said.

Ferguson also said he aims to servecraft beer and upscale pub fare whenthe spot re-opens.

As of yet, the prospective pub isunnamed and Ferguson wants to callon local residents to help come up witha title, saying he wants to differentiatefrom Mirage, as it’s known as a late-night club.

A contest for naming the new pub isin the works, he added.

“When we came up with the Mirage,we wanted something that would depictsomething with a certain aura of classto it but also it suited us because wewere building something that basicallybelonged in downtown Vancouver thatwas built out in the valley; that was kindof like a mirage because it didn’t reallybelong. So the word ‘mirage’ resonatedwith us really well,” he said.

Jenni-lynn Hewitt I think we have plenty ofenough pubs in Surrey. Now, we have zeronightclubs. I never have been but I know alot of young people who find it a drag tohave to go to Vancouver constantly to go toa nightclub.

Jennifer Miller Fletcher First the Wheelhousenow them, where are you suppose to goand dance?

Christine Mcnabb-Simpson the wheelhousepub is reopening as a country bar

Jennifer Miller Fletcher That's not dancing.Then again Pancho's says that it is countryas well. I don't care much about the club if agreat pub has dancing. We need them tobuild a Casino like Cascades Casino Resortand Starlight Casino in Surrey. Newtonwould be great like they wanted to. It doesNOT attract druggies and has class and Ilove going there to dance but somethingcloser would be nice.

Dharrol Alves For the record… It will stillhave a good size dance floor.

David Perry It will still be a nightclub atnight, so you can still go have a drink anddance! With the new pub and it being openlate nights still on weekends will bring in alot of business! I'm excited for the newrenovations.

Ronnie Haywood Stevieg Vancity I went tothe last night, I've made my piece lol

Caroline Drover There is no such thing as anight club anymore I've seen so many die inSurrey as well as other cities, Champagnes,The Dell, Ozone just to name a few of theold ones and then there is Boone county inNew West,, Cheers in Delta and China Beachin Langley, It really is sad to see that thereis no where to go dance and have a drink,Guess we can thank Video games, Pot andour tougher drinking and driving laws.....

NEW WESTMINSTER — A NorthDelta woman who killed her common-law husband by stabbing him in the chestduring a domestic fight will remain on bailuntil she’s sentenced on Dec. 18.

Beatrice Thomas, 38, was found guilty ofmanslaughter on July 11, in B.C. SupremeCourt in New Westminster.

After the verdict, Thomas venturedoutside the courthouse with her family for asmoke. Asked for her reaction to the verdict,she replied, “It is what it is.”

Thomas was tried for second-degreemurder in B.C. Supreme Court in NewWestminster this past winter for stabbing37-year-old Quannah O’Soup on July 3,2011. Justice Trevor Armstrong presided.

The couple had rented a small half-duplexat 11540 80th Ave. in North Delta acrossthe street from the entrance to McCloskeyElementary school and lived there withThomas’s daughters, who were ages 10 and15 at the time.

The girls were in their bedroom anddidn’t witness the violence that hadunfolded in the living room, shortly aftermidnight.

Armstrong’s verdict was prefaced by alengthy and detailed recitationof his reasons for decision. Thejudge found the Crown hadn’tproved beyond a reasonabledoubt that Thomas intended tomurder O’Soup.

But he also decided that theinjury Thomas inflicted onO’Soup was disproportionate toa finding of self-defence.

The court heard Thomas andO’Soup financed their crackcocaine habits by shoplifting and had beenengaged in a relationship power struggle.

A couple staying with them at the timewere in the kitchen when O’Soup wasstabbed but didn’t see it happen. O’Soupdied at the scene, of a single stab wound thatpunctured his lung and heart.

Armstrong noted there was a “significant”amount of cocaine in his blood. He found

no reliable evidence as to how thingsunfolded in the living room, or whatThomas’s state of mind was at the time, butconcluded that Thomas, with arm raised,thrust a knife down into O’Soup’s chest

as he advanced on her from adistance of about seven feet.

Armstrong said there was noevidence that Thomas had beenunable to leave the room, seekhelp from her friends in thekitchen, or leave the house.

“The way was clear for her toretreat,” he said, adding she had“ample opportunity to removeherself from the living room.

“She should have been able topreserve herself without killing Mr. O’Soup,”Armstrong decided.

Outside court the victim’s elder brother,Spencer O’Soup, said he respected theverdict and will now work on healing.

“There’s no winners and losers on bothsides of this,” he said.

His brother’s death has created a“huge burden” on his family emotionally,

financially and spiritually, he added.Spencer O’Soup said his brother’s five

children have “all been very devastated bythe loss of their father” and that he is tryingto help them heal.

At the outset of the trial, he told the Nowhe felt no ill will toward Thomas.

“I’m not here to have pitchforks andfire,” he said at the time. “For me, it’s abouthealing.

“I don’t feel hatred or anything like that,”he said. “I feel a lot of compassion. I feelreally sorry for her.”

He said his brother and Thomas had metin Edmonton and had been together forabout a year. She followed him to the Coast,he said. “She made her way here with herkids.”

“Their relationship was toxic, eh,” Spencersaid. “It was desperation. The relationshipwas up and down.”

He said his younger brother had fivechildren of his own in Edmonton. Theeldest is 22, and the youngest are twins, age10.

SURREY — The former president of aSurrey Sikh temple has been charged withsecond-degree murder after his wife died in

hospital.Narinder Kaur

Kalsi was takenoff life supportSunday followinga domestic disputethat left her incritical conditionlast week. She waspronounced deadjust before 4:30p.m. Sunday.

Her husband, Baldev Singh Kalsi,was originally charged with aggravatedassault. That charge was later upgraded toattempted murder, and now second-degreemurder.

Baldev Kalsi, 66, was the president ofthe Gurdwara Sahib Brookside but wasremoved from his position last Thursday.

The Canadian Ramgarhia Society, whichoperates the Gurdwara Sahib Brookside,made the decision.

The society’s board has appointed SardulSingh Rehal as president.

“We are deeply saddened by the tragicincident that took place over the pastweekend,” the society said in a release.“The management of Gurdwara SahibBrookside categorically condemns all kindsof violence. These are difficult moments forthe society.”

Meanwhile, Kalsi did not appear inSurrey provincial court last Wednesday as

expected, as he sustained injuries from anassault that happened while in custody atSurrey Pretrial Centre Tuesday evening.Kalsi was taken to hospital with facialinjuries. A 42-year-old inmate has beenidentified as a possible suspect.

Police do not believe the incidentis linked to Kalsi’s involvement in theongoing investigation. A two-day prayerwas planned at the temple, beginning onJuly 18 at 8 a.m. and ending on July 20 at 8a.m, for Narinder.

163+205=368.That stark equation scrawled

in the top corner of a chalkboardmeans little to a casual observer,but for Surrey’s Parm Phangura, itmeans a lot.

The chalkboard in questionis located in the garage of hisFleetwood home. Five-year-olddaughter Talia has taken over thelower reaches of the board, butthe rest of the surface is Daddy’s.The Canadian national teamweightlifter trains in the garageand each time he hoists anothermass of iron, his eyes naturallytravel to the chalkboard.

163-kilograms for the snatch.205-kgs for the clean and jerk.368-kgs total.These are the goals the 34-year-

old Phangura has set for himselfwhen he competes at the 2014Commonwealth Games, whichbegin this week in Glasgow,Scotland.

The Games are important toPhangura, and not just for thesport and pageantry. He knowsthese will be his last on suchan important sporting stageand he wants to make a lastingimpression. The chalk numbersare more than obtainable as theyboth fall within his personal bestlifts and now that all the trainingis over, he wants go out on the bestpossible terms.

“I’m going to cherish everythingabout competing at an event as bigas the Commonwealth Games,” hesaid. “And when my turn comesto compete, I’m going to leaveeverything on the platform.”

Phangura has been lifting formost of his life, but is a latecomerto international competition.He grew up in Quesnel where hewas inspired by local lifter andCanadian national team memberParamjit Gill.

“I got to know Paramjit Gillwhen I was in high school,”Phangura said. “We used to watchhim train and we thought he wasamazing. The guy had a supermanphysique and all of us normalkids, we all wanted to be like that.So that’s how I got introduced toweightlifting.”

Years later, Phangura movedto the Lower Mainland where hemet up with Gill again. Phanguraresumed weightlifting as a hobbyand after a while, he began to getgood at it. He entered his first

competition and when he wassuccessful, that fueled him to workeven harder.

Phangura qualified for theCanadian championships on hisfirst attempt in 2001 where hefinished in first place. He wonagain the following year and in2004, he got a taste of internationalcompetition when he won a bronzemedal at the CommonwealthChampionships in Malta.

“When I went to nationals forthe first time and won, I thought,

‘Wow, this is easy,’” Phangura said.“I had some success with it and Iwas happy with that, but I reallydidn’t have the guidance to seewhat I could do. I didn’t knowwhat the Commonwealth Gameswere at that time. If I had knownabout it, I would have pursued theCommonwealth Games in 2006,but I really didn’t know about it.I didn’t know about the Pan-AmGames in 2007 either. I found outabout it after the fact.

“So I thought to myself, ‘Hold

on here. I’ve already done all ofthese championships and the toptier of lifters are all going to thesegames. I want to do that too.’”

At the time Phangura was afull-time student for a career inoccupational health and safety andwas working at a job on the side.As much as it appealed to him,becoming a full-time athlete wasnot his top priority.

“I had to keep my prioritiesstraight,” Phangura said. “I didn’twant to be a full-time athlete and

that’s why I established a career.That’s number one for me becausethat’s what puts food on my table.Weightlifting is my passion andI get satisfaction from it, but itdoesn’t pay the bills.”

Phangura kept these prioritiesstraight while pushing himselfharder in the gym. He representedCanada at the Pan AmericanChampionships in 2008 and in2010 he was thrilled to earn a spoton the Canadian team for theCommonwealth Games in India.

His first big internationalcompetition turned into anightmare when he came downwith a severe case of DelhiBelly days before he was slatedto compete. The heavyweightcontender lost 15 pounds in threedays and while he gutted it out andcompeted, his results were far fromhis normal weight totals.

“It was still an unbelievableexperience for me,” he said ofthe Commonwealth Games. “Forthose two weeks that I was there Ilearned so much. There’s not muchI would change apart from gettingsick. I met people from differentcountries and saw how theytrained and everything like that. Itwas a great experience.

“I learned what I should havedone and how to do things a littlebit differently. I learned there andI’ll pay attention to details like thatin Scotland.”

Upon returning to Canada,Phangura resumed his training.He competed at the WorldChampionships and the PanAmerican Games in 2011 and in2012, he was back at the Pan Amchampionships.

Now he will be boardinganother jet bound for the 2014Commonwealth Games where hehopes to stay healthy so he canturn in more impressive resultsthan his first Games experience inIndia.

“When you’re young you takeeverything for granted,” he said.“Now that I’m nearing the end ofmy competitive career and havebeen around a lot longer, I cherisheverything about the sport. Ienjoy every training session andknowing what I’ve been throughwith injuries and bad competitionresults and good competitionresults, I cherish all of thememories and the experiences.

“I know the CommonwealthGames in Scotland will be mylast and I’m going to enjoy everyminute of it.”

WHITE ROCK — Get your flip-flopsand sunglasses ready because beachsidebusinesses in White Rock are hustling,thanks to the foot traffic along Marine Driveduring the summer.

With Canada Day unofficially kickingoff the season, businesses are gearing upfor more summer events, including the SeaFestival, the Moon Festival and the pier’s100th birthday.

Lynne Sinclair, White Rock BusinessImprovement Association (BIA) presidentand a former White Rock city councillor,said summer is definitely tailored for beachbusinesses.

“Summer somewhat sells itself,” Sinclairsaid. “There are a lot of different eventsduring the summer that are focused on thebeach. Our challenge is always to ensurethat we capitalize on those events with otherbusinesses around the town as well,” sheadded.

After teaming up with the city andTourism White Rock to keep the free,summer trolley service, the BIA and Sinclairbelieve that helping people get to and fromthe beach is vital this summer.

“We also want to advocate for increasedtransit and ensuring that we’ve got waysof transporting people down to the beachbecause of the lack of parking down there,”Sinclair said.

After being a co-owner of Moby Dick’sSeafood Restaurant for six years, JamesMorrison knows the summer months arevital to beachfront businesses.

“July and August are make-it-or-break-it months. It gives you an idea of how theyear is going. If you have two good, strongmonths, then it carries you right through upto December,” Morrison said.

He also said that he could potentially earn50 per cent of his annual revenue over theseason and that his staff has slowly becomeaccustomed to dealing with the volume ofcustomers who come to his restaurant on anice, summer day.

“On average, we cut maybe 450 pounds(of fish) a day over July and August and wego through 700 pounds of potatoes a day,”Morrison said.

Like the rest of the businesses alongMarine Drive, the Ocean Promenade Hotelis ready for the busy season.

Russell Hoffmann is in charge of sales andmarketing at the hotel. He expects a greatsummer in White Rock.

“July and August are the highest months.It’s when the kids are out of school is whenit starts getting busy,” Hoffmann said.

Ocean Promenade is the only hotel inWhite Rock and Hoffmann said being stepsaway from East Beach makes the hotelpopular to locals and celebrities.

He said that actors such as Danny DeVito,Tom Lennon, Craig Robinson and mostrecently, Chiwetel Ejiofor – who starred inthe Academy Award’s Best Picture of 2013,12 Years a Slave – have all stayed at the hotel.

“Location wise, being around the beachdefinitely makes it a popular location,”Hoffmann said.

WHITE ROCK — An estimated $80,000rebate for taxpayers stemming from thecivic worker strike has been redirected intoparks maintenance after it was decided thenumber was too low to be worth sendingout cheques.

“The rebate would be less than $10 pertaxpayer and it’s not worth mailing it out

with a dollar a stamp and the cost of anenvelope,” said Coun. Grant Meyer. “All theparks deteriorate a bit during this time ofyear so we thought it would be good to putit back into that.

“Luckily the strike settled relativelyquickly, if it had gone longer and it wasmore like $50 dollars per taxpayer thatwould have been more worthy of sendingout cheques. Of course, that all goes by theassessment amount.”

Mayor Wayne Baldwin said given theassessment values of the city’s variousproperty owners some would have receivedmore and others less.

“We have in excess of about 8,000taxpayers, and because of the variance givenby assessed value, some people would begetting maybe a dollar,” he said. “So it wouldbe silly to send out cheques when the valueis worth less than the postage.”

Baldwin said it also might not have been

fair to some, as some made more effortsthan others to deal with the labour dispute,which halted garbage pickup, recreationalfunctions and parks and road maintenancefor most of May.

“It seemed to be inequitable in somedegree because people had gone to quitesubstantial lengths to get rid of their garbageand others just held onto it until the strikewas over, so that doesn’t represent a truereflection of their expenses,” said Baldwin.

SURREY — The former president of aSurrey Sikh temple has been charged withsecond-degree murder after his wife died in

hospital.Narinder Kaur

Kalsi was takenoff life supportSunday followinga domestic disputethat left her incritical conditionlast week. She waspronounced deadjust before 4:30p.m. Sunday.

Her husband, Baldev Singh Kalsi,was originally charged with aggravatedassault. That charge was later upgraded toattempted murder, and now second-degreemurder.

Baldev Kalsi, 66, was the president ofthe Gurdwara Sahib Brookside but wasremoved from his position last Thursday.

The Canadian Ramgarhia Society, whichoperates the Gurdwara Sahib Brookside,made the decision.

The society’s board has appointed SardulSingh Rehal as president.

“We are deeply saddened by the tragicincident that took place over the pastweekend,” the society said in a release.“The management of Gurdwara SahibBrookside categorically condemns all kindsof violence. These are difficult moments forthe society.”

Meanwhile, Kalsi did not appear inSurrey provincial court last Wednesday as

expected, as he sustained injuries from anassault that happened while in custody atSurrey Pretrial Centre Tuesday evening.Kalsi was taken to hospital with facialinjuries. A 42-year-old inmate has beenidentified as a possible suspect.

Police do not believe the incidentis linked to Kalsi’s involvement in theongoing investigation. A two-day prayerwas planned at the temple, beginning onJuly 18 at 8 a.m. and ending on July 20 at 8a.m, for Narinder.
