Fifth electoral district planned for Surrey voters
Federal South Surrey riding faces split Jeff Nagel Black Press
Surrey will get a fifth MP and a new riding come the next federal election, as part of a complex redrawing of electoral district boundaries. The biggest change is the proposed creation of a new Langley-Cloverdale riding that splits
Cloverdale and Clayton off from the existing South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale, leaving a South Surrey-White Rock riding in the south. The new riding also takes in much of the current Fleetwood-Port Kells riding. The other three Surrey ridings would be renamed North Surrey-Guildford, Surrey Centre and West Surrey-Whalley, taking the
place of Surrey North, Newton-North Delta and Fleetwood-Port Kells. The changes are proposed by the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission, which suggests adding six electoral districts in B.C. Canada’s electoral districts are reviewed every 10 years by independent commissions in each province to account for shifts and
growth in the population and other factors. A public hearing in Surrey on the local boundary changes is set for the Sheraton Guildford hotel in Surrey on Wednesday, Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. Anyone wishing to make a presentation must register by Aug. 30.

Baljinder Kandola and Shminder Johal should get 20 years for smuggling an “enormous” amount of cocaine through the Pacific Highway border crossing, a B.C. Supreme Court judge heard Monday. Kandola, a Cloverdale resident who worked as a border guard, and Johal, a Richmond resident who claimed to operate a car-parts importing business, were motivated by “profit and greed,” Crown prosecutor James Torrance said. “This case is about the corruption of a CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) officer and the importation of an enormous amount of cocaine,” Torrance said. Kandola and Johal were found guilty June 29 on multiple drugand bribery-related charges stemming from their arrest in 2007. During their sentencing hearing in New Westminster Monday, Torrance told Justice Selwyn Romilly that while the two men have no previous criminal records, the nature of their “planned and deliberate” conspiracy demands a lengthy prison term. see page 4

news Frustration resurfaces as neighbours square off over White Rock conifer
Trees drive wedge in neighbourhood Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Evidence that controversy around White Rock’s tree management bylaw still exists was highlighted late last month when workers arrived to remove a fir tree from city property on Royal Avenue. As the sound of a chainsaw echoed through the neighbourhood, tempers flared when it was suggested the conifer was the victim of foul play. “Don’t sit there and make accusations,” area resident Doug McGinn told neighbours Donna Sweet and Mason Parkes June 26, as limbs fell from the tree and opinions differed
as to why the step was needed. Neighbours were advised by the city a week earlier that the Douglas fir had been deemed a hazard, McGinn told Peace Arch News. “This had nothing to do with us,” he said. Sweet, on the other hand, said tree cutters told her the tree had been poisoned. “The people for the views will be happy,” she said. Sweet was among those who protested last year’s removal of three trees from city property in the same area; the 15100-block of Royal Avenue. It was McGinn’s application to have the trees’ “considerable” growth addressed – which the city first denied, then
allowed on appeal – that sparked the debate. But while the controversy led city officials to revise the rules, McGinn – who said he waited years for the city to act and abided by the rules along the way, including paying $6,500 to have the trees assessed – said the effort has not prevented people from ignoring them. He noted with frustration that the city will soon have to remove a tree from public property at Cypress Street and Cliff Avenue after unauthorized pruning went too far. “After all that we went through… what are people doing now? Why would they go through the same circus we had?” he said. McGinn said that until fines for unauthor-
ized cutting are stiff enough, or until steps are taken to prevent cutting or planting of trees on city property, the problem will continue. “If a tree falls in White Rock, does anybody hear? I guess it depends where you live.” City manager Dan Bottrill acknowledged trees are a sensitive issue and said efforts are ongoing to improve communication. At the same time, “not everybody’s going to agree with what we’re doing,” he said. Regarding the Royal Avenue Douglas fir, Bottrill said he received no indication from staff that it had been poisoned. Falling limbs from the near-dead conifer posed a threat to pedestrians and neighbours, he said.
Resident applauds speedy response Alex Browne Staff Reporter
South Surrey resident James Cooper, who has spearheaded a neighbourhood campaign against speeding on 8 Avenue near Hazelmere Golf and Tennis Club and Hall’s Prairie Elementary, says he is “more than happy” with current City of Surrey and RCMP initiatives to tackle the problem. A volunteer-staffed RCMP radar van stationed on 8 Avenue on July 3 recorded many drivers travelling above posted speed limits, he said, providing valuable data for both the police and the city. “The volunteers were recording speeds in excess of 70 (km/h) in a 30 km zone,” he said. Crucially, Cooper said, the deployment also provided a significant deterrent for lead-footed drivers just days after the city installed new signs along that stretch of the road. Cooper gave credit to City of Surrey traffic manager Sinisa Petrovic for taking a personal interest in re-signing the area, which includes new signs pointing out hidden driveways, stop signs at the entrance to Hazelmere Golf and Tennis Club and new advance warning signs 100 metres in front of existing signage for the school zone. “They’re clearly visible,” Cooper said. “Anyone who (says he) can’t see them is out to lunch.” Cooper also credited RCMP Sgt. Gary Clark, “one of the senior traffic division sergeants” with stepping up enforcement of speed zones on 8 Avenue and elsewhere in South Surrey, through both regular RCMP presence and volunteer radar van deployment. Attention is being paid not only to speeding but also distracted driver issues such as cellphone use, he said, and the public can also expect to see the radar van on such South Surrey streets as 32 Avenue, 16 Avenue and Zero Avenue where traffic accidents and speeding have been a particular concern.

A uniformed Mountie – a community policing initiative that city staff says has been requested by residents and business owners for several years –is scheduled to return to the waterfront July 15, Aug. 6 and Aug. 19, weather permitting. The only other similar patrol is in Ottawa on Parliament Hill.
Day at beach ends with knee injury
Skimboarder warns of pit-bull attack Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A Chilliwack man says he is nursing two “good-sized puncture holes” below his left knee after a day skimboarding on East Beach ended with a dog bite. And Matt MacLean said he wants others to be aware of the potential danger, particularly since the sport draws so many young enthusiasts. “If that was a little kid, that could’ve been a lot of damage,” he said. MacLean, 21, said he had been at the beach with a friend for about five hours Sunday when the incident occurred around 5:30 p.m.
“We were just making our way back up to our stuff. (The dog) just came out of the blue and got me from the back,” MacLean said. He described the dog as an unleashed pit bull, lighter brown in colour with some white. It clamped on as MacLean skimmed across a tide pool, and inflicted a wound he estimated took about 30 minutes to stop bleeding. The owner, a man in his 20s, was “not too concerned,” MacLean said. The man told him the salt water would be good for the wound and asked that if he reported the incident, to “try to avoid saying (the dog) was vicious,” he said. MacLean said he reported the incident to
police but said he also wants the public to be aware. He estimated he shared the tide pools with at least six young skimboarders over the course of the day and can only imagine what the outcome might have been if the dog had chosen to go after one of them instead. MacLean said he is unable to bend his knee as a result of the bite, and will not be able to return to his work installing kitchen cabinets until he can get around without crutches. White Rock RCMP said Monday the incident did not show up on a search of detachment records; Surrey RCMP were unable to confirm the report by Peace Arch News’ press deadline.

Pool fatality A drowning at a Guildford apartment building’s pool Sunday claimed the life of a Surrey toddler and left his grandmother clinging to life. Residents at the complex at 10525 150 St. found the 20-month-old boy and the 51-year-old woman floating in the outdoor pool around 9 p.m. CPR was performed by residents – and then emergency responders – but the boy succumbed. The woman was revived and, as of Monday, was on life support and listed in grave condition. Both were found floating face down by other building residents who arrived to use the pool. Sgt. Drew Grainger said early indications are that the infant fell into the pool and the grandmother – a non-swimmer – tried to save him. “It’s a very tragic event,” he said. “They were fully clothed – they weren’t there to swim.” Names have not been released at the request of the family. RCMP are assisting the B.C. Coroners Service with the investigation. Police are asking any witnesses to call them at 604599-0502.

A little peace for province’s public schools
B
ill 22 was a hammer where a feather was needed but, thanks to some fancy footwork by mediator Charles Jago, the worst elements of Bill 22 have been rendered moot, an agreement has been reached and B.C.’s public school teachers and their employers will live to fight another day. While BC Teachers’ Federation president Susan Lambert characterized the mediation process as a sham, labelled the pressure teachers were under as bullying and the agreement the best that could be achieved under duress, some modest improvements were gained, albeit not in wages. More importantly, the two-year contract ending in 2013 contains few, if any, of the concessions that had been demanded by the employers, the BC Public School Employers’ Association. True, there are no improvements in class size and composition language, and the government chose to tighten the screws on teachers with Bill 22 by eliminating limits without giving teachers any of the control they sought in classroom organization. The government claims its $165-million Learning Improvement Fund will allay some of the concerns by putting more teachers and special education assistants in the classroom. Still, it’s unlikely teachers will be satisfied given their ongoing concerns about what they view as government attacks on their professionalism, autonomy, control over classroom organization and wages. Some of these issues will be addressed through the courts in the hopes that the judicial system will give teachers what the government will not, while wages will remain a sticking point when negotiations resume. For parents, the teachers’ agreement is a relief after months of uncertainty and anxiety, a three-day walk-out and withdrawal of teachers’ support for field trips and other volunteer activities. But the relief will be short-lived unless the economy turns around, the government changes or it turns out that more money does make a difference in the classroom – although there will never be enough cash to solve every issue.

So far this week you’ve said… yes 33% no 67% 191 responding Barlee found money to build replicas, and construction began on three. But Barlee lost his Penticton seat to Bill Barisoff in the 1996 election, and today only half-built shells remain. “He was still selling Sandon’s restoration as an economic saviour for the region when he ran for federal office in 2000,” Nesteroff writes. “But by then he was ridiculed for it, and finished a distant second.” Barlee’s 1972 Canada West profile of the boomtown of Hedley would resonate in his career as an NDP MLA and cabinet minister in the 1990s. Hedley’s Nickel Plate and Mascot mines produced fortunes in gold, silver and copper before they played out, and Barlee led the fight to preserve their history. Today you can tour the Mascot mine, a proud historical site with a spectacular climb up the rock face that serves as the Grouse Grind of the B.C. desert. I first discovered Barlee as a reporter at the Kelowna Capital News in the early 1980s, when he did a weekly history show on CHBC television called Gold Trails and Ghost Towns A bare-bones studio affair with tales and artifacts displayed for host Mike Roberts, the show lasted a decade. Barlee didn’t lack courage, quitting a teaching career in Trail and Penticton in 1969 to start his magazine. On subscription fees and a few classified ads, he built a life’s work that allowed him to walk the boardwalks of history and the halls of power.

An eye to being proactive, safe Editor: Re: Cameras only record crime, June 19 letters. I write this letter in total support of the motion brought forward by Coun. Al Campbell regarding the need for cameras on the promenade. We are living in a society where the average Canadian is photographed several times a day in the suburbs and more than 50 times if you happen to live in the city. Cameras are a fact of life. When applied to White Rock and, in particular, to the promenade, they would provide a huge arsenal of information for first responders as to precisely where to render assistance. There are two kilometres of beach, and if the fire department or ambulance needs to be dispatched, that information is critical. White Rock does not have the luxury of having lots of spare cash to hire more bylaw officers, and having a monitoring facility would enable the city to direct our existing employees to the area of concern. From the tourist point of view, the cameras could provide live feed to the various webcams that are viewable online. It definitely has possibilities! A huge benefit would be the ongoing monitoring of the White Rock pier. In addition to the huge investment we have in this uniquely beautiful attraction, there is also the need of other agencies who would welcome cameras on our aquatic walkway. Specifically, the Coast Guard, Fisheries and Immigration and Customs would welcome them not only as a deterrent but as a supplement for our own security. In my opinion, Campbell’s initiative is very strong and the proposal for cameras would be a solid investment using our tax dollars to provide efficiency and cost savings in the long term. As wonderful as White Rock might be, we can no longer be complacent and in denial that things “don’t happen here.” They do and they will. Let’s be proactive. Bob Nicholas, White Rock
Blame game lacks integrity Editor: Re: Rough seas ahead for BC Ferries, July 3 column. I think Tom Fletcher, legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press, has sunk to a new low in his July 3 column when he colludes with BC Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan in a desperate effort to defend the mismanagement at BC Ferries. His column quotes Corrigan extensively, as the ferry corporation blames everyone but themselves for the net earnings loss of $16.5 million in their latest financial report. The most incredulous part of the column was how Fletcher reported that the earnings loss was partially
caused by teacher job action. He blamed teachers for student traffic being down one-third this year. Apparently, if teachers had continued to go on field-trips through the course of the job action, then BC Ferries would have had recorded an earnings profit. It is pretty clear Fletcher doesn’t like teachers, but to frame the message to make teachers responsible for financial mess at BC Ferries is journalistic drivel. The net loss experienced by BC Ferries has everything to do with sky-high ferry rates and the overblown salaries for David Hahn and Corrigan’s management team. Charge less and the consumers will start using the service again. That’s a concept used by millions of companies around the world. Unfortunately, it is not a strategy that is easily understood by BC Ferries, who prefer to pay management more for doing a lousy job. Surely, Fletcher, president of the Legislative Press Gallery, cannot believe that if those pesky teachers had been fundraising instead of job action, BC Ferries would be in the black. It would, however, be incredibly funny to hear announcements in schools calling on teachers to fundraise $16.5 million to keep BC Ferries afloat. Do you know how many bottledrives would have to be done in order to turn BC Ferries into a profitable operation? It would require every school in the province
to take 10 trips a year to Vancouver Island to help BC Ferries break even. What incredible arrogance for teachers to take job action in order to drive BC Ferries into the ground! Fletcher, in his zealous pursuit of the truth, must acknowledge that blaming teachers for the financial mess at BC Ferries is truly stretching the boundaries of journalistic integrity. It would be easier for him to say I hate teachers and I am going to use any opportunity to blame them for something… anything. Laurence Greeff, Surrey
After 48 years, I hate my home Editor: Re: Tower taxes no driving factor, July 5 letters. Disappointed. I live in the vicinity of the AvraLiving.com building. That’s what the sign at the top of the building wants us to call it, I guess. I can almost touch the building, I’m that close. There used to be a gorgeous view of White Rock bay from the living room of my apartment. That’s gone. Now I see gaudy blue plastic that covers acres of windows. Not to mention the fact that I haven’t been able to sleep past 7 a.m. for months and months because the noise and dirt starts at that time
every weekday. Every nook and cranny and piece of furniture in my home is covered in a thin layer of dust and will be until the building is finished. Not good news for a person such as myself who has mild asthma. The fellow in the apartment next to me has chronic eye inflammation from all the dust in his apartment. One morning, trucks started delivering supplies at 3:30 a.m. To say I hate living in White Rock right now is an understatement. I have lived here for 48 years. Where am I going to move now? The people who are making the decisions in this city are idiots. Come on over to my place for tea. We’ll sit outside, listen to the noise, breathe in the dust and try to have a conversation overtop of the noise. Debra Laturnus, White Rock

Economic corrections aren’t the only wrongs that need to be righted in current society, writes Marc Burchell.
604.531.7977
Corrections painful but rewarding e-mail: Editor: As yet another news headline reveals the corruption and greed of top executives at yet another bank, Barclays Bank of Britain, it is further evidence that the world is in the middle of a major correction. But while the economic correction is getting all of the attention, there is a much broader correction taking place that encompasses all reaches of society throughout the world. It is a moral, spiritual, political and, yes, economic correction that, while uncomfortable at the time, will serve to make the world in which we live stronger. Corrections are a fundamental tool used by nature to shake out the weak links, leaving a stronger, more sustainable whole. As in the animal world, when the weak and sick are weeded out of the herd by predators thus making the herd stronger, corrections identify weaknesses in our society and put us back on track. The economic correction that was sparked by our heavily leveraged pursuit of a fantasy lifestyle dream was unrealistic and unsustainable. The fantasy was spoiling our moral fibre and making us weak.
Though this moral correction is painful, we will emerge from it a stronger society as a whole. We are also experiencing a political correction as we see governments around the world toppled because their corrupt or incompetent leaders have broken the hurting public free from their complacency to demand corrective action in the form of change. In the U.S., we are seeing the governing parties neglecting the best interests of their citizens because of their self-indulgent inward focus on their own partisan politics. By failing to look outward they are unable to see that what the people who voted them into power want from their leaders is honest, decisive solutions not shallow smiles and bitter rhetoric. We are experiencing a similar scenario right here in our own province and, as with all other unsustainable dysfunction, it will undergo a correction. Yes, corrections are painful, but one thing I know to be true is that when things that are wrong are corrected, the pain will stop until the next time. Marc Burchell, Surrey

The Use of Insurance Trusts in Estate Planning Life insurance is an important component of many people’s estate plans. If you own a life insurance policy, it is worth taking a moment to reexamine your beneÀciary designations. Under B.C.’s Insurance Act, an insured can appoint a trustee for a beneÀciary. On the insured’s death, the insurance proceeds are paid to the trustee, who then holds the proceeds on trust terms set out in either the insured’s Will or in a separate document called an Insurance Trust Declaration. Insurance trusts provide greater Áexibility by allowing you to control how, when, and to whom, your insurance proceeds will be paid. Using an insurance trust can also keep the insurance proceeds out of your estate, thereby reducing probate fees. Let’s take the example of a husband and wife with two minor children. The husband has a life insurance policy of $750,000 under which his wife is the primary beneÀciary. If the wife predeceases the husband and no alternate beneÀciary was named, the insurance proceeds will fall into the husband’s estate, and will be subject to probate fees of approximately 1.4%. Designating minor children as alternate beneÀciaries is also not ideal. If children become entitled to insurance monies during their minority, the funds are paid to the Public Guardian and Trustee. Upon turning 18, the child can apply to have the full value of the proceeds paid out to them. In the example above, the husband might consider designating a trustee to receive the insurance proceeds. The trustee would hold the proceeds in accordance with terms set by the husband, for example, that the proceeds be held until the children are 25. One may also direct how the insurance proceeds are to be applied, i.e. that the proceeds be used to pay any income tax owing as a result of the insured’s death. Such provisions are not possible using the insurer’s standard designation forms. Other beneÀts of insurance trusts include: • Tax Savings – insurance trusts can provide effective income splitting vehicles for your beneÀciaries • Probate Fee Avoidance – keeping insurance proceeds out of your estate saves probate fees (on a $750,000 policy, the probate fee savings are ~$10,000) • Protection against Claims – keeping insurance proceeds out of your estate can shield the proceeds from creditor claims and claims under the Wills Variation Act • Minor and Disabled BeneÀciaries – insurance trusts allow you to provide for minor and disabled beneÀciaries, and to control how and when monies are paid out To discuss whether an insurance trust declaration is right for you, or for more information, please contact Kim Karras or Kirsten Wharton at BRAWN KARRAS & SANDERSON 604-542-5344 or by email at kakarras@ bkslaw.com or kwharton@bkslaw.com.

Traffic stop An early-morning traffic stop in White Rock sparked a police investigation that led to theft-related charges against three people. Around 1 a.m. on June 20, White Rock RCMP officers pulled a vehicle over in the 800-block of 160 Street. Police announced the bust Friday, saying information gathered during the stop resulted in a “multi-jurisdiction police investigation” and a raid by White RCMP which recovered items stolen from break-and-enters in Sechelt, Vancouver and Langley. Two men from Surrey, James Moore, 28, and Michael Boretzky, 28, and a woman from Vancouver, Afsenah Bayazidi, 18, have been been charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000. Moore and Boretzky are also charged with breaking and entering. – Dan Ferguson

A White Rock man is warning others about an online repair scam he believes could be targeting the area. Ron Henley received a call June 28 from a man he believes was posing as a Microsoft repair representative. “He said he was working for Windows and my computer had been sending them error messages,” Henley said. “He said my hard drive could crash if I didn’t fix the problem.” The man directed Henley to go online to a website to rectify the error, but Henley refused, insisting on a call-back number, to which the caller abruptly hung up. Henley said he had been suspicious of the call because someone in his apartment building had described a similar experience earlier in the month. “I think they may be hitting the White Rock area and maybe Surrey,” he said. “The guy is pretty convincing, so it makes me worry for the elderly who tend to be more trusting of people.”

Top photo: Melissa Seselja (left) was crowned Miss BC Job’s Daughters this past spring. Right, Seselja shows off her crown. through high school, Seselja was active playing multiple instruments, and an enthusiastic rugby player; she’s currently got more than four years work as a cashier under her belt. Careerwise, she has her sights set on becoming a radio DJ. “It’s just who I am. I like a little bit of everything in my life,” she said. She began studying last June for the B.C. competition, putting “a lot” on hold – including rugby – to focus on the goal. As Miss BC, she is honing her knowledge for the international competition, while carrying out her duties as the province’s Job’s Daughters representative. She has already visited several JD bethels, and is intently fundraising for her Baltimore trip by selling coffee, tea, pins and other items.

Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary have earned some green for their green ways. The school’s environmental leadership students won the top prize of $1,000 in this year’s national High School Climate Challenge (HSCC) after working hard to help ‘green’ their school and their community. The prize is awarded to only three schools in Canada. The HSCC program, run by the non-profit Clean Air Champions and funded by the Honda Foundation and the City of Surrey, requires the completion of as many as 140 “acts of green” over the course of the school year. Lord Tweedsmuir worked on the program for three years and built up projects in energy conservation, transport campaigns, water projects and park and tree initiatives. In the past year, they also completed pilot projects for BC Hydro, TransLink and Pulse Energy. “The High School Climate Challenge has been an excellent catalyst for growth in our high school environment activity,” said Susan Hunter-Jivung, a physics teacher and Environment Team cheerleader at Lord Tweedsmuir.

lice Warkentin framed her Àrst picture at age sixteen and immediately knew that framing artwork was her passion. Now, after more than twenty years working for other companies, Alice has Ànally realized a life n long dream to own her own custom art and framing business. As the new owner of Gallery 24 in Peninsula Village, Alice has put her own spin on the well established custom art and framing store. First she moved into a new and improved location (between Never Enuff Clothes and Big Gary’s) and then she started looking to showcase the work of local artists (she is pleased to be featuring giclée prints from White Rock artist Peter Daniels and local nature photographer Keith Franks) into the eclectic mix of art available at Gallery 24. Alice is pleased that many of Gallery 24 regular clients have found her new location and that new customers have discovered her store along the way. In addition to custom framing artwork and canvas transfers, Alice will also frame mirrors, sports jersey’s and other memorabilia. With her frame shop on premise, she can repair, re-mat, reglaze and reframe existing artwork.

The auxiliary has been able to donate money towards some expensive equipment for the hospital. There have also been two major projects, the new maternity ward renovation and the purchase of the MRI. Our volunteer opportunities are now posted on our website. There are some projects for all ages and schedules for many types of volunteers.

Our Junior Auxiliary is also mentioned on our website. To join the Junior Auxiliary one must be a student between 16 and19 years old. Each year, the auxiliary society awards two scholarships, each valued at $2,000 to two student volunteers. This year, we are happy to announce that our winners of these scholarships are Albert Chung and David Lui. By having a new web page we hope to open the way for more people in our community to find out about us. We are now on Facebook and Twitter (@PAHospitalauxil). If you would like to volunteer and become a member of the auxiliary (no, it is not just for ladies), contact our volunteer resources director Marie Rougeau at 604-535-4500, local 75704.

They also plan to place signs for Experience the Fraser’s first phase, including a 33-kilometre segment from Colony Farm to Fort Langley, as well as trail segments already developed in the FVRD. But some Metro directors have already been voicing concern that the ambitious trail network is long on talk and short on the much larger amounts of money that will be required to actually complete it.

Dear Special Clients,
New initiative to help low-income families, seniors buy fresh food
Coupon program kicks off Sheila Reynolds Black Press
A new coupon program announced in Surrey last week is aimed at helping low-income families and seniors across B.C. buy more fresh, locally grown food. The Farmers’ Market Nutrition and Coupon Program will provide coupons each week for 14 weeks for participants to spend at local markets. B.C. Health Minister Michael de Jong was at the Surrey Urban Farmers Market outside North
Surrey Recreation Centre Wednesday to unveil the onetime, $2-million initiative, which he said will provide those in need greater access to the “freshest, tastiest produce grown anywhere in the world.” Families will receive $15 worth of coupons weekly, while seniors will receive $12. Coupons are treated like cash and can be used to buy everything from fruit and vegetables, to fish and nuts. About 800 families across B.C. are expected to qualify for the
program this year and the intent is to expand the program in subsequent years. Fifty families and pregnant women and up to 10 seniors will be helped per community. Participants will be referred by community agencies that operate cooking and skill-building programs. There are 22 farmers’ markets participating in the coupon program, including Surrey Farmers’ Market, which operates every Wednesday from 1-6 p.m. at 10275 135 St.

South Point Save-On-Foods has new display
Grocer supports local food options The trend toward eating more locally-produced food has the support of a local South Surrey store. The South Point Save-OnFoods has added a “choose local, eat local” display for customers of the outlet at 3033 152 St. Save-On boasts the chain is the number one supporter of local suppliers, producers and growers, including brand names like South Surrey-based Missing Goat Jam, the tomatoes and peppers that come from Millennium Farms in Delta and Marilyn’s Gourmet Salad Dressings made in Abbotsford. The store features weekly sampling of local producers. Promoting local content is seen as a way for customers to support their neighbours’ businesses and

HEALTHY MEALS ON THE MOVE Elite athletes like the Tour de White Rock racers are all too used to finding meals on the move. Not only do they need to fuel during races, they also need to navigate airports, highway rest-stops and hotel restaurants, all the while fuelling their bodies for optimal performance. While the average person doesn’t need to be quite as careful with our fuelling habits, there is no harm in trying to make the best choices, during day or extended trips.
www.peacearchnews.com 21
fat, high-fibre snack or meal on the move. Try a prepackaged ready-to-eat salad with a pop-top can of tuna and a few slices of Wasa or Ryvita bread. Or how about choosing a handful of mixed nuts a piece of fruit (banana or orange if you don’t want to stop to wash it), a plain yogurt cup and a quinoa and veggie salad from the deli? Remember to bring along appropriate cutlery or ask at the deli on your way through.
When travelling, healthy food options can be restricted. Fast food outlets are everywhere, especially in airports, truck stops, and strip malls. Although most of us know fast food chains are limited in their healthy food options, we tend to choose them for convenience and familiarity. However, there are plenty of healthy food options out there and helpful tools for finding them.
If you’re not sure how to tell which is the healthiest cracker or tin of tuna there’s a smartphone app for that. Fooducate is a free app that takes the guess-work out of label reading. Scan the barcode of a packaged item, and Fooducate will award a school grade (A+ for healthiest and down from there) and offer a comparable healthier option. There are plenty of other great grocery apps out there. Find one that works for you.
When you are out and don’t have access to the healthy foods at home, consider a grocer instead of a restaurant. Convenience is at the heart of many of today’s food innovations, so it’s easy to find affordable, delicious and healthy grab-and-go options in grocery stores. Pick up 100% whole wheat pita shells, a small tub of hummous and a pack of pre-washed and cut veggies and you’ve got yourself a low-
What if you feel like a restaurant meal instead of a graband-go at the grocer? Before heading into familiar fast-food joints, take a moment to survey your options. Try Yelp, a free smartphone app that allows you to locate nearby restaurants and see what others have to say about them. You may find a healthy eatery treasure just a couple kilometers off the beaten path.
Sheila Fetter BSc., RD Dietician, Choices Markets Received her degree in Food, Nutrition and Health from UBC and is a dietitian with the Choices Markets Nutrition Team. As an active athlete, Sheila appreciates the value of food as fuel for sport and delights in sharing nutrition information. sfetter@choicesmarkets.com
If you’re stuck and can’t escape the hub of usual suspect chain restaurants, don’t despair. Many companies offer nutrition information on their website for easy comparison between items. For instant info, look them up on your smartphone. Or before you head out or hit the road, consult Yelp on the internet and check out your options in advance. Check out the websites of some of the restaurants you can choose from and plan accordingly. The Vancouver Sun “Rate Your Plate” series and searchable “Fatabase” can tell you about the menu items at 75 restaurants in BC—including the top 20 worst menu items in a number of categories such as highest in calories, salt, fat and sugar.
Plan ahead to avoid an appetizer disaster and to get the best nutritional bang for your buck. When in a bind, with no plan and no resources at hand, keep these four sensible eating tips in mind: Get Close to the Earth The less processed a food is, the better. When available, go for whole grains, beans, lentils, unprocessed meats, fruits and vegetables and unsweetened dairy products. Forget the Fryer Skip the deep fried options in favour of poached, grilled and baked options. Viva les Veggies Filling half your plate with veggies helps meet your daily quota and squeeze out excess calories in restaurant meals. If you’re travelling with a companion, share an entrée-sized salad and one regular main course. Remember to ask for salad dressing on the side to control how much is used. A lightly dressed salad and a half of a burger with a half serving of fries is a better option than the full burger and fries without any veggies. Go Light on the Bevies A single beverage can have as many, if not more, calories as your meal. Choose water or milk as often as possible and limit the portion size and frequency of calorie- and sugarladen sodas, shakes and cocktails. Whether you’re out for the day or on a globe-trotting tour, planning ahead, breaking old fast-food chain habits and keeping good eating sense in mind can help keep you on the move.

BCTF president Susan Lambert and Education Minister George Abbott have found a truce that should last until the election campaign next spring.
Teachers’ contract endorsed Tom Fletcher Black Press
B.C. school trustees have joined teachers in supporting a contract extension for the B.C. Teachers’ Federation that promises labour peace in schools until next spring. With 85 per cent of boards of education participating Wednesday, the vote was unanimous in favour of the two-year contract that expires June 30, 2013. The deal imposes a two-year wage freeze on teachers, which had already been accepted by school support staff and other public sector unions in B.C. “Boards of education are pleased that we have been able to achieve agreements with all of our unionized staff in these challenging times,” said Melanie Joy, chair of the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association. Teachers voted by a three-to-one margin the previous week to accept the contract extension, with 52 per cent of BCTF members casting ballots. The deal puts off
a bitter dispute over government changes to hiring, layoff and performance evaluation of teachers. Education Minister George Abbott said the agreement includes a letter of understanding to continue talks on those issues. Those discussions are expected to resume this fall, dealing with professional development, evaluation and which issues are negotiated at the provincial and local level. The long-running dispute over class size and composition may also heat up again next year as the B.C. Liberal government heads into an election campaign. BCTF president Susan Lambert said the agreement includes some improvements to teacher benefits and leave provisions. But the union is going to court to argue that imposing a two-year wage freeze violates their constitutional right to collective bargaining. Lambert has also indicated that the BCTF will once again work to unseat the B.C. Liberal government.

Japanese knotweed infestation found in portion of new Port Mann bridge
‘Monster plant’ menaces Metro Jeff Nagel Black Press
It is truly a demon weed. Japanese knotweed, now running rampant across Metro Vancouver, can drill through asphalt, break house foundations and spring back from virtually any non-chemical attempt to eradicate it. And it now has transportation ministry officials scrambling after it was discovered splitting concrete in the footings of the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge and infesting a Burnaby section of the $3.3-billion Port Mann/Highway 1 expansion project. “It’s a monster plant,” said Jennifer Grenz, program manager at the Invasive Species Council of Metro Vancouver. “And it’s a huge issue in terms of infrastructure and safety.”

Japanese knotweed has split concrete all over Metro Vancouver. She said some Highway 1 construction in Burnaby from Boundary Road to Canada Way may be delayed while plants are sprayed and given time to die, adding they would otherwise grow right back up through the pavement. The council, which manages invasive plants on local highways, is now moving to assess all provincial highway bridge
Visit… Ocean Park Day held on June 16th was a huge success! Although the weather didn’t cooperate we `rained´ in the event with much enthusiasm & excitement! It was a day of family fun Jill Martyniuk for the young & the young at heart. President, OPBA Ocean Park day featured a variety of live acts on stage. The spotlight was on local talent to include singers, pianists, a Ventriloquist, a magician, Highland & Tango dancers, a Chorus, a Drum Band & a Cheerleading Academy. Jay Frost of Frost Entertainment provided the sound.Matt Grant a local actor was the Master of Ceremonies. All of this wouldn’t have been possible without the Stage sponsorship by Coast Capital Savings & the Now Newspaper. Michele Partridge the OPBA communications coordinator & representative of Norwex Canada Inc. was instrumental in organizing the stage performers. Cotton ‘N’ Crayon’s Sandy Smith also the Committee Head & Marg Reed celebrated their store’s 27th anniversary with a new plush Eagle mascot. If you missed out on purchasing one, you can still get this adorable plushy at Cotton ‘N’ Crayon while quantities last. South Surrey Eagles Hockey mascot Winger was on hand at Cotton ‘N’Crayon for photos & autographs. Earlier in the morning Winger & Sandy stopped in at Morrison’s Café where he hammed it up with staff & café patrons! The gift basket raffle boasted an array of beautiful donations by the local merchants. Big thanks to Betty Eisenman from CIBC & the OPBA treasurer along with Marg Reed from Cotton ‘N’Crayon who collected the baskets & organized the ticket sales. Peace Arch News representative & OPBA Vice-president Kathi Nicholson was responsible for the events publicity & selling of the raffle tickets along with Betty Eisenman. Ocean Park Community Hall was deemed a Heritage building & celebrated with a plaque unveiling & a heritage display to commemorate this historical occasion. It was followed by a Heritage Tea hosted by Jane Hayes the OPCA president & Jean Matthews the Ocean Park Community Hall rental manager. The Antique Road Show held in the Ocean Park Community Hall was an event favourite sponsored in part by Alison Anderson from Compass Senior Services Inc. There were over 100 appointments set up with 4 appraisers. It was a definite crowd pleaser, well done Alison! Over 20 vendors showcased their goods in the Safeway parking lot. Laura Thibeault of Home Life Benchmark Realty Corp & the OPBA secretary coordinated the businesses & vendors. To name a few, Dione’s Chocolates & Tribow Patisserie had tasty treats to sample. Silpada plus Stella & Dot Jewellery added glamour & sparkle to the day. The Village shops & businesses hosted kid’s activities to
and overpass footings in the region, Grenz said. A transportation ministry spokesperson said the weed won’t delay the completion of the Highway 1 project and said the infestation at the north end of the Ironworkers bridge is not serious but is being treated. “This plant is capable of growing through three metres of concrete,” Grenz said, add-
ing she fears it could also rupture fuel pipelines. Plenty of land slated for housing is infested, she said, adding home buyers may later find their dream home has a nightmare of knotweed growing under it because developers failed to correctly remove it. Stem-injected herbicides are the only practical way to kill knotweed, according to Grenz, who is also a farmer in Richmond. But she said bylaws banning cosmetic pesticide use in many cities have sown confusion over when chemicals can or should be used to kill weeds. Grenz appeared before Metro Vancouver’s environment and parks committee Wednesday, asking the regional district for a $40,000 one-time grant to help develop a regional strategy.

news Giant hogweed sap can cause serious burns
Region highly vulnerable to invasive species
Jennifer Grenz photo
Japanese knotweed is just one of the invasive species raising alarms in the province. region is uniquely the world who bring vulnerable, she argues, foreign species here. because it’s a hub for Grenz said some tourists and part-time releases of species, residents from around likely including the
Burnaby snakehead, are the result of religious rites where animals or plants are deliberately released, adding more public education is needed. Illegal dumping is also a huge cause behind the spread of invasive plants. Grenz said some stakeholders have suggested challenges like knotweed are so onerous Metro Vancouver should instead be deemed a “sacrifice area” where authorities would give up on weed management. That’s an untenable idea, she said. “We have such small amount of green spaces
IT’S ALL RIGHT HERE IN
we need to protect them as much as we can.” But the invaders Grenz worries most
about are the ones that have not yet arrived here. “Any insect really
scares me in terms of invasiveness. At least plants don’t move that fast.”

Knotweed isn’t the only invasive pest raising alarms. Giant hogweed is another problem plant that brings special control challenges because its sap causes serious burns. The arrival of aggressive European fire ants, gardendestroying chafer beetles and the recent capture of a snakehead fish in a Burnaby pond have all increased awareness of other invading animals. “Our region is scary-susceptible,” said Jennifer Grenz of the Invasive Species Council of Metro Vancouver.

unexpected guest and a keen young police sergeant – are stranded at the manor by a snowstorm. News of a recent murder arrives, along with the suspicion that the murderer may be one of the group. Among players who will be wellknown locally in The Mousetrap are Paul Kloegman (The Cat’s Meow), Lori Tych (The Lion In Winter), Sam Gordon (A Bedfull of Foreigners) and, in a departure from her usual public appearances as a singer, Laine Henderson, in the lead role of Monkswell Manor’s new owner Mollie Ralston. Also in the cast are Stephen Benjamin Fowler, Spenser Dunlop and Everett Shea. Tickets are $23 ($18 seniors) and can be purchased at www. whiterockplayers.ca or in person at The Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd.

There are two opportunities to catch some outstanding young musicians – the Strathspey Fiddle Orchestra from Moray and West Aberdeenshire, Scotland – during their brief visit to White Rock July 14. Members of the group will busk for passersby at the Artists’ Square in front of the White Rock Museum and Archives at 3 p.m. The full orchestra – some 16 fiddlers, plus piano player, cajon (box drum) player and piper – will perform that evening at 7:30 p.m. at White Rock Elks Hall (1469 George St.). While some of the group sing and do highland dancing, the major part of the performance is fiddle music, played by members whose ages range from 14 to over 60 – although most are in their teens and twenties. The orchestra was formed to showcase young musicians in their home area, and they play regularly at concerts, ceilidhs and festivals in the region. The group has also represented Scotland at Celtic festivals and corporate events throughout Britain, the Republic of Ireland, and as far away as Kronach and Frankfurt in Germany, and Texas. The current two-week tour of the West Coast will include performances in Vancouver, Victoria and Seattle. For tickets or for more information, call 604-538-4016.

Host country battles Australia for bronze medal at Canadian Open
Canada ousted by defending champs Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter
eam Canada was bounced from contention at the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championships Sunday night at Softball City, after a 3-1 loss to defending champion Japan. The loss capped an up-anddown weekend for the fan favourite Canadians, who were blasted 14-2 by Team USA on Saturday afternoon but rebounded Sunday afternoon to wallop Puerto Rico by a 7-1 margin, before facing Japan that night. The U.S. squad beat Australia in the other semifinal Sunday, setting up a USA-Japan rematch in the Women’s International division championship game Monday night. Canada played Australia for third-place on Monday afternoon. Both games were played after press deadlines. Against Japan Sunday, it was fielding miscues that did the Canadian squad in. In the bottom of the first ❝We’re just inning, Japan took gearing up a 1-0 lead for world when Misato championships.❞ Kawano led Melanie Matthews off with a single, then Team Canada advanced all the way to third base after an error by Canadian pitcher Karissa Hovinga, who made two errors in the game. One batter later, Kawano scored on a throwing error by shortstop Joey Lye. Canada briefly tied the game in the top of the fifth inning when Megan Timpf – playing all weekend with her wrist wrapped in medical tape – was hit by a pitch and then came around to score, but the tie game didn’t last. In the home half of the inning, Japan plated a pair of runs on two singles and a sacrifice, to retake the lead, 3-1.

Canadian base-runner Carrie Leigh Thomas slides safely into second base, just under the glove of New Zealand’s Ellie Cooper, during Women’s International division action Wednesday at Softball City. Canada was eliminated from the tournament in semifinals Sunday, after a loss to Japan. Hovinga, who had pitched more innings for Canada than any other pitcher, got the start Saturday against Team USA, too, pitching three innings, giving up six hits and five earned runs before being relieved by Madison Schreyer and then, for one-third of an inning, former White Rock Renegade
Marina Demore. All three struggled against a powerful US offence, which was led by first baseman Valerie Ariato, who had a three-run home run and five RBI in the game. Ariato leads the Women’s International tourney with five home runs, 16 RBI and a .625 batting average in
just seven contests. The U.S. built a 5-0 lead by the third inning, but Canada chipped away with a few runs of their own to keep it close until the sixth, when the States pounded the home team for seven hits and eight runs to put the game out of reach. “This is one you’ve just got
to put behind you pretty quick and move on to tomorrow,” said Team Canada left-fielder Melanie Matthews of the loss. Though the weekend defeats – especially Saturday’s – were tough to take, Matthews, one of the team’s veterans, said her team was taking see page 35
California squad defeats Auburn Shooting Stars in Sunday final
Firecrackers repeat as Futures Gold champs Rick Kupchuk Black Press
In the end, there was little competition for the California Worth Firecrackers. The Firecrackers repeated as champions in the Futures Gold division at the Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship. But unlike a year ago, when they had to rally from 5-0 down to defeat the Canadian national junior team 8-7 in the final, they were never tested this time around. They were one of five unbeaten teams after round robin play, outscoring the opposition 48-0 in five games. They cruised through five more playoff games on the weekend,
allowing just seven runs while scoring 53, clinching the championship with a 9-0 victory over the Ashburn Shooting Stars of Virginia Sunday evening. American teams dominated the group for players under-18. The Delta Heat ’96 were one of just two Canadian teams in the final six of the 16-team double-knock-out playoff. The Heat lost 12-1 to Ashburn, while Ontario was blanked 2-0 by the North West of Oregon. It was the reverse in Showcase Gold tournament, which saw the Victoria Devils come through the backdoor to defeat the Burnaby Oakeys 7-4 in Sunday’s championship game. The Devils had to win twice Sunday after
losing 9-4 to Burnaby Saturday night. Victoria thumped the Delta Heat ’97 by an 11-1 score in Sunday morning’s semifinal, earning a second chance to defeat the Oakeys for the championships. “The girls played fantastic right from the very beginning,” said Victoria coach Brian Wallace. “They were undefeated in pool play and undefeated in the playoff right up until (last night).” Ten of the 16 playoff teams in the Showcase Gold group were from Metro Vancouver or the Fraser Valley, with the Delta Heat ’97, White Rock Renegades ’95 and Abbotsford Outlaws ’96 also placing in the top six. The Lloydminster Rebels of Alberta were the
last non-B.C. team in the playoff round, eliminated two wins away from a berth in the final. They placed fourth in the 18-team division. There were 72 youth teams in four categories in the under-18 and under-16 tournaments, and Wallace said the Rebels will likely be one of those returning again in ‘12-13. “It’s first-class, this is an extremely wellrun event,” he said. “There’s great venues, the girls have an opportunity to be around the national women’s team, some of the best teams in the world, and the women’s Elite teams. “It makes them feel part of a larger softball community.”

The Surrey Eagles will have two new goaltenders in the nest when the BC Hockey League season hits the ice this fall, after the team dealt its backup goaltender late last month. On June 25, the Eagles sent Conor Barrie, a 19-year-old Vernon native, to the Langley Rivermen in exchange for future considerations. Last year, Barrie didn’t see much time in the crease behind all-star Andrew Hunt, playing just 11 games. He had a 6-3 winloss record, a goals-against average of 3.49 and an .885 save percentage. Hunt won’t be back, either, having moved on to play at Clarkson University.

Seniors Day Trips KEIZER, Johannes G. (John aka Joop) Born October 19, 1919, Amsterdam, passed away peacefully on June 30, 2012 in Surrey, BC. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 69 years Edel, children Jon (Maria), Helena, Marian (Bob), Irene (Geert), Steve (Deborah), his grandchildren and great grandchildren and extended family and friends. John went to sea as a young man, earning his captain’s papers in Norway before emigrating to Canada with Edel and their older children in 1951, where he became a trucker, fisherman and logsalvager. He had a life-long love of soccer and served as a referee in youth leagues for many years, remaining active into his late 80s. He also loved classic and popular music and enjoyed dancing. He and Edel sang in a choir for a number of years and were active in the local Dutch and Norwegian clubs. A memorial service will be held Saturday, July 14th, 2012 at 2 pm - Fraser Heights Funeral Home, 14835 Fraser Highway, Surrey, BC. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC would be appreciated.
