A driver who struck and killed a White Rock father delivering newspapers with his teenage son was sentenced to two years in prison Monday afternoon. Last month, Allan Simpson Wood pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing death and an assault charge stemming from the July 19, 2010 incident that killed Bryan McCron. McCron and his son, Connor, were delivering papers early in the morning on Colebrook Road Bryan McCron near 153 Street victim when Wood’s Chevy Silverado pickup struck their Toyota Tercel. Wood approached the McCrons’ vehicle as Connor – who was 17 at the time – called 911. Angry about the damage to his truck, Wood pushed Connor and punched him in the stomach. › see page 4

Fraser Health wants White Rock to get its water from Metro Vancouver. In a letter sent to city manager Dan Bottrill last month, medical health officer Lisa Mu states the health authority “supports the reduction of arsenic in White Rock’s water supply to levels that are as low as reasonably achievable.” “Accordingly, we are in favour of the connection of the White Rock distribution system to MetroVan water, if this is determined to be technically and financially viable,” Mu writes. Asked for comment, Epcor spokesman Tim Le Riche said by email Monday afternoon that the util- ❝We’re stuck ity’s position on its water between a supply has not changed. “It is business as usual rock and a for us,” Le Riche writes. hard place.❞ “We are pleased to pro- Coun. Larry vide safe drinking water Robinson to the people of White Rock, and we support stakeholder involvement, including suggestions for any costeffective solutions for its customers.” White Rock officials announced in late February a decision to explore the feasibility of purchasing its water utility from the current supplier, Edmonton-based Epcor. The move came two months after Epcor advised its customers it is seeking approval for a project that will increase chlorination of the city’s water, upgrade infrastructure and boost storage and pumping capacity. The chlorination was ordered by Fraser Health in response to contamination that sparked a boil-water advisory in 2010. The proposed upgrades are anticipated to cost $11-12 million. While arsenic levels in the water supply are currently within the standards for Canadian drinking water, if that changes and treatment for it is deemed necessary, the tab will jump by an estimated $8-10 million. Coun. Helen Fathers – who proposed in January that White Rock investigate the costs of hooking up to the Metro system – said Monday that if upgrades must be done, it makes more sense that it be an investment in a city-owned utility. Coun. Larry Robinson – who did not support Father’s initial motion – agreed. Robinson told Peace Arch News that learning more about the difference between water from the two sources convinced him a switch to Metro is the way to go. It will avoid the need for chlorination › see page 4

Free trips could be offered on weekends this summer
Trolley service explored White Rock tourism officials are hoping to have a free trolley service up and running in the city this summer. Tourism White Rock executive director Betina Albornoz told council last week that research into the idea is ongoing, but the hope is it will be available to move people “at the busiest time of summer.” Proposed routes include Marine Drive and Johnston Road; proposed stops include the Coast Capital Playhouse and the farmers’

market. Two time frames are being considered for the weekend service: June to August, or July and August, depending on logistics and funding. Trolley operators will also need somewhere to park the vehicle overnight, Albornoz said. “We think that this is going to be good for our community,” she said. Details of the service were expected to be finalized this week.

Mound Farm one step closer to being opened as nature park
‘Geological anomaly’ gets CN’s attention Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter
The large stand of trees just south of Highway 10 in Cloverdale may not look like much to the casual observer – except that it tends to stand out amongst the surrounding fields. But a recent grant received by City of Surrey from CN Rail aims to make the location – called Mound Farm Park – a desirable one for walkers and nature-lovers alike. Last week at a field adjacent the mound – which is usually blocked by a closed gate, accessed via a dirt road that connects to 168 Street – officials from the city, CN Rail and Tree Canada, as well as tree-planting volunteers from local organization Shah Satnam Ji, officially announced the project. CN Rail, through its CN EcoConnexions program, gave the city $20,500, which will be used to plant shrubs and other foliage along an approximately 1,000-m stretch of farmland parallel to the train tracks. Long-term development plans for the land
include a trail system that extends alongside the new trees and into Mound Farm itself, where some trails already exist. Once the newly planted trees are grown, they will “establish a visual buffer between the trail and the rail line,” City of Surrey parks manager Owen Croy said Friday when announcing the grant. The project is one of 25 similar ones across Canada funded by CN Rail. “We’re very pleased to provide financial assistance to make (this park) happen,” CN Rail executive vice-president of corporate services Sean Finn told the gathering. “When you plant a tree, it’s not about today, it’s about tomorrow, and we really feel (future) generations of Surrey will benefit from these trees.” Croy said the new foliage will provide habitat for various songbirds and other small animals, as well as act as hunting grounds for larger birds, such as owls, eagles and falcons, which already populate Mound Farm.

“What we want to do is establish a complete community of plants,” he said. No timeline was given for completion of the project. Croy told Peace Arch News a master plan for the park was developed about a decade ago, and the city has been “chipping away at it, bit by bit.” It was designated as protected agricul-
tural land at about the same time a master plan was created, Croy added, and the new perimeter-trail system will not take away much, if any, of the agricultural area; the surrounding fields – all city owned – are actively farmed. The land also includes two heritage homes – Smith House and Snow House – on the mound itself. Mound Farm Park itself is a drumlin – a glacial landform, which Croy called “a geological anomaly.” “Sometimes, (Mound Farm) has taken a back seat to other important things people want – like soccer fields and playgrounds, but this place is protected forever and it’s not going away – the land is the real feature here, and it’s a beautiful thing,” he said. Currently, the area is not open to the public, but Croy said that would obviously change once the new trails are in place. Angle parking and possibly a picnic area would also be added to accommodate visitors.

Restaurant manager wins franchise on Food Network series
Family man finds win amid TV turmoil Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Randy Rivera remembers it didn’t faze him when a customer at the Wok Box store he was working at fed samples he’d given her to a chihuahua she unexpectedly pulled out of her bag. It didn’t even throw him when the woman complained about the onions in the tasty offerings, citing the dog’s allergies. “I thought it was for her,” Rivera said Monday, from his post at the Grandview Corners Wok Box, where he is general manager. “I was apologetic,” and offered to whip up something more suitable, he said. “My goal in life is to make everyone happy and make their experience in life as smooth as possible.” Rivera learned shortly after the experience that his knack in handling such challenges – posed during what he believed at the time was filming for a corporate-training video – stood out. It won him a Wok Box franchise of his own, should he decide he wants it.

Randy Rivera returns to Grandview restaurant.
Rivera, 29, was one of four Wok Box managers who unknowingly competed for the prize as part of the Food Network Canada reality show, Giving You the Business. Each episode of the program pits unsuspecting fast-food employees against each other, filming them through various scenarios concocted specifically for the show. In the episode, Shaken… and Stir Fried –
which aired Monday night after filming in London, Ont. in February – the managers also dealt with the challenge of non-paying customers, a roller-derby team and a new employee who talked obsessively about her upcoming wedding before suddenly heading for the door. “It was pretty funny. There was a lot of tough challenges,” said Lawrence Eade, Wok Box chief executive officer, who said the show’s producers approached Wok Box to participate. In addition to Rivera, managers from locations in London, North Vancouver and Quarry Park (Calgary) were chosen to compete. Eade described Rivera as “just a fantastic guy.” Rivera had to keep the news he’d won under his hat until the show aired. He has a year to mull his options, which include taking on his own franchise. As a family man, it is a decision he can’t rush into, he said. “I dedicated all my… hard work for her (wife Amy) and my two kids,” Rivera said. “It’s going to give us an opportunity.”
B.C.’s Auditor General For Local Government is targeting several municipalities for audits over the next year, including Surrey, Delta, New Westminster and West Vancouver. Surrey-based Basia Ruta said value-for-money audits on operational procurement are planned for Delta, West Vancouver, Revelstoke and the regional districts of Fraser-Fort George and Comox Valley. Surrey will be audited for oversight of the RCMP budget and policing agreement. Victoria, New Westminster, Merritt, Port Alberni, and Williams Lake also face policing oversight audits. Other audits examining capital procurement projects and assetmanagement programs will target North Vancouver District, Cranbrook, Rossland, Sechelt, Dawson Creek and Campbell River. The initial sets of audits are to be finished by March 31, 2014. Other audits are still to be announced on how well cities ensure clean drinking water and challenges unique to small, sparsely staffed municipalities. The AGLG was created by the provincial government despite objections from some B.C. cities who feared it could turn into a witch hunt for waste that failed to take into account differing municipal priorities, and that might duplicate existing audits at their expense. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business released a study last week, saying municipal spending in Canada’s four biggest cities far outpaces population growth and the rate of inflation.

Sentence ‘will do for now’: sister › from page 1 McCron suffered a severed aorta in the crash and died later in hospital. The incident occurred less than a week before the 49-year-old father was due to marry his fiancée. The courtroom was packed with supporters of the victim’s family, who cheered and hugged upon hearing the judge’s sentence. Speaking to reporters outside court, McCron’s sister, Vicki Macri, said although the family was satisfied that Wood would be going to jail, they felt the punishment did not fit the crime. “He got two years, but he probably won’t spend that in jail, maybe a third of it,” Macri said. “But it will do for now.” The court was told that at the time of the crash, Wood’s vehicle was travelling at 101 km/h, more than double the limit.
Water › from page 1 and arsenic treatment, ultimately bringing citizens the best possible end product, he said. While the financial cost will be high, quality is what matters, Robinson said. “Quite frankly, White Rock, I think, we’re stuck between a rock and a hard place. “It’s going to be a big number… (but) water’s water. It’s fundamental.” Council is to review the business case in a closed meeting Monday.
File photo
Police investigate a fatal head-on crash on Colebrook Road in 2010. Wood had a previous impaireddriving conviction in 2002, and did not have a valid driver’s licence at the time of the incident, nor was his vehicle insured. Additional charges stemming from the South Surrey incident of impaired driving causing death and failure to provide a sample had previously been stayed. Despite the impaired charges being stayed, Macri said she and her brother’s family will work to get impaired drivers off the road. “If you shoot someone in the head with a gun, you get 25
years,” she said. “But that’s not the case with drinking and driving. And that needs to change.” Macri added that she has received support from Markita Kaulius, whose daughter, Kassandra, was killed by a drunk driver in South Surrey in 2011. “We’d like to see mandatory sentences for driving causing death. It’s a very hard thing to do, it’s a long process. But until my dying day, that’s what we’re going to do. We’ll aim to make the world safer, one little person at a time.”

The Shape of Things to Come
Site eyed for new White Rock council chambers
Church renovation approved
Proudly presented by the City of White Rock and Semiahmoo First Nation
Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Renovations to what may become the future home of White Rock council have been approved. City council last week gave unanimous support to directing staff proceed with $200,000 in upgrades to 1174 Fir St., the former home of the First Church of Christ, Scientist. The city bought the building for $1.6 million in 2010, completing the municipality’s ownership of the entire block occupied by its civic, police, fire and library services. Since taking full possession of the building in February 2012, it has largely been used for storage. Staff looked into the cost of upgrading the building for council and community use in response to a motion last month by Coun. Helen Fathers. At the May 27 council meeting, city manager Dan Bottrill noted most of what needs doing – including new carpets, doors, plumbing and fixtures – is cosmetic. The funds to do it would be redirected from work that had been identified for the existing council chambers and city hall lobby, he said. Coun. Al Campbell described it as “the right thing to do.” He criticized Coun. Louise Hutchinson as uninformed when she described the decision as “unilateral.” “This hasn’t just landed on the table tonight,” Campbell said. “We’ve had several meetings

White Rock’s First Church of Christ, Scientist is to be renovated. about this. A lot of work has gone into it and had you been here, you might’ve had a different opinion.” Hutchinson was absent from city meetings in April due to vacation. Coun. Larry Robinson described the cost-benefit of moving ahead with the renovations as “better than a building sitting there rotting.” Mayor Wayne Baldwin noted a decision must still be made as to whether council will actually move house. Without a firm call on that, financial services director Sandra Kurylo recommended holding off on $95,000 in audiovideo and web-streaming work at the site. Both are only needed if council moves in, she said. Baldwin said without a decision

on where council will meet, staff also cannot complete designs for the future use of the existing chambers. “Staff need a decision. We’re in a bit of a standstill,” he said. Coun. Grant Meyer told Peace Arch News he only supported the renovations once a commitment to move council in was taken off the table. He said he’d rather see the facility rented or leased out, so the city can get a return on its investment. Proceeding with work on either building without knowing their intended use is “kind of shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic,” he said. Kurylo recommended funds for the work be taken from contingency. The work is expected to proceed this summer.

What Life Insurance Really Means… A
inslie Winter has been our trusted life insurance and investment advisor since 1998. She came to us at a time in need and has been there for us at every turn. I have dealt with other advisors in the past but no one has come close to the compassionate and professional care provided by Ainslie and her team. Recently my husband passed away at the very early age of 66. Although, he had been ill for some time you are never ready when your soul mate and spouse passes away; especially when it is unexpected. Ainslie was there immediately offering her personal assistance on completing the forms for the insurance, government and funeral home. The funds helped to pay immediate expenses for the funeral and out of pocket medical expenses and provide relief in a very stressful time. Ainslie personally delivered papers and documents and guided our family through the process. My husband thoroughly trusted Ainslie to take care of everything and this gave him a sense of peace and calm knowing that I would be provided for by the professional and dedicated care of Ainslie Winter. – H.S.

Unjust deserts on election day
W
e, the voters, deserve better – from our leaders, from our candidates and from the system that purports to serve us. We have a returning premier who failed to win her own seat last month, telling us that several of her successful MLA-elects have offered to abandon their ridings, in which they were chosen by the people, for her presumed byelection victory. Closer to home, we have municipal representatives who, in the same provincial election, saw an opening for higher office and, once victorious, necessitate now either city byelections or underrepresentation at the civic level. These examples merely scratch the surface of a situation so endemic, voters are abrogating their responsibilities by staying home on election day. This is one theory on a voter turnout so consistently low, it no longer shocks. Another theory is that would-be voters are so pleased by the calibre of candidate – and by actual voters’ choices – that they know their city/province/country is in good hands. Taking a look at the most recent election, that scenario is difficult to accept. It’s more likely that the four major parties – yes, there were four – each failed to captivate voters’ interests and fill the campaign with educated discourse. (That is, in ridings where all four parties actually fielded candidates. Not to diminish Surrey-Cloverdale MLA-elect Stephanie Cadieux’s laudable accomplishments as the province’s top vote-getter with 18,001 supporters, but did the BC Greens really believe she deserved a pass?) Instead, we had three leaders battle-scarred from past and recent missteps, and a fourth marked by indecision – BC Liberal Christy Clark, New Democrat Adrian Dix, Conservative John Cummins and Green Jane Sterk, who has yet to campaign like she wants to be premier. Of course, farthest from home, at the highest levels of political office, we have a prime minister who claims no prior knowledge of a $90,172-cheque from his then-chief of staff to his own appointed senator, the latter who used the money to try to derail a Senate audit by repaying unsanctioned home expenses and per diems that should never have been claimed. Non-voters get what they deserve. But we, the voters – the fractious fraction who actually make our way to the ballot box – deserve so much better.

questions on such vital topics as whether diluted bitumen can sink in water. In short, the province argues that it can sink if the oil is in fresh water, or if it is exposed to weathering so lighter fractions evaporate, or if it is mixed with sediments that increase its density. These are pertinent conditions if heavy oil were to leak into a river in springtime, when water runs fast and cold and brown with sediment. Then there are the obstacles presented by responding to a spill in remote wilderness and heavy snow. Given both provincial and aboriginal opposition in B.C., the Enbridge pipeline is unlikely to be imposed, and last week Conservative cabinet minister James Moore clearly ruled that out. The B.C. government has consistently maintained that the current project does not meet Clark’s often-repeated five conditions, including the vaguely defined “fair share” of revenues, and Moore said the federal government agrees with those conditions. The B.C. government has to face some other uncomfortable realities as well. If heavy oil pipelines are such a risk, how does B.C. manage the one that has stretched across remote and populated areas for 60 years? Does the government take a stand against new pipelines, and then watch as rail cars full of heavy oil cross those same rivers? No permit is required for that, and in fact there are more hazardous materials than oil moving by rail and road across the province today.

City failed to save trees Editor: Re: ‘Eagle trees’ controversy nudges city, May 21. I was born in White Rock and have lived here my whole life. Never have I felt more ashamed to be from White Rock than after we let the Douglas firs on Victoria Avenue be cut down. I cannot believe that
we, as a city, have let ourselves be put in this position by developers. Michelle Jorgensen, White Rock
Explosive situation Editor: After reading about the vehicle that exploded on a Vancouver street – apparently the result of acetylene gas accidently being ignited by a
remote vehicle door opener – it is inconceivable to witness the operators of many vehicles with B.C. licence plates lining up for cheap gas in Bellingham, Wash., filling copious numbers of jerry cans with fuel, and then placing them in their trunks – or even worse, in the open backs of vans and sports utility type vehicles. Do these people have a death wish or are they just plain stupid? They are a threat to everyone in their vehicles, as well as innocent bystanders. Don Campbell, Surrey
Steeped in socialism Editor: Growing up, I had respect for the teaching profession for the hard work they did, but now the unions are pushing annual increases for them because the union heads make more money at every raise they get. Socialism is not my cup of tea. W. Philips, White Rock
In the black? Editor: Re: Board of trade backs new coal terminal, May 28. It is puzzling to read that the Surrey Board of Trade thinks the proposed new coal-exporting facility on the Fraser River in North Surrey will somehow be good for business in our communities. CEO Anita Huberman refers to the 25 jobs that will be created at the port, along with 25 more at Texada Island undoubtedly championed by a Texada board of trade. Huberman speaks in generalities of wanting to support economic development in our region, and thinks more long trains going through here would be good for that. Here are reasons I think this development would be bad for our local economies, and should be opposed by the board and citizens. The four coal trains now running per day – 125 cars long, uncovered, blowing coal dust, noisy – already distract from the beauty and accessibility of White Rock beach, pier and boardwalk. That number could be doubled as coal-exporting capacity is increased. White Rock businesses – for example, restaurants that clean coal dust from their tables – will not benefit economically from eight long trains running north, and the same number going south empty, daily, each taking 12-14 minutes to pass. Car and truck transport – doing business – will be delayed twice as often at level crossings throughout Surrey, decreasing productivity. Not so good for business. Coal dust lost from open cars is implicated in potential health problems – asthma, COPD and other respiratory conditions – may be good for my business, medicine, but likely not yours. And really, is the burning of low-quality dirty thermal coal, to generate cheap electricity in China, polluting our fragile atmosphere, and rapidly heating the Earth, really good for business? If so, why have so many of our free-enterprise, businessminded neighbours to the south – Clatskanie and Coos Bay in Oregon, Gray’s Harbor in Washington – rejected these coal-exporting facilities? Their local communities realized they were bad for business all around. Charles King, Surrey

Coal has for decades arrived by rail at Deltaport in Roberts Bank, where it’s loaded onto waiting ships. n I wonder if Surrey Board of Trade CEO Anita Huberman lives close to a rail track, where they are transporting coal. If she did, maybe she would change her mind. I have an elderly lady friend in central Tsawwassen, and every year I wash down her house, especially on the west side, as it is black with coal dust from the Deltaport Terminal. Her house is miles from the terminal, and this is even after the piles of coal dust have been covered with a retardant to stop it flying in the wind. I will gladly give Huberman the address, if interested, and she can inspect it herself. It is not only covering the houses, it is blowing in the air that we breathe. Ole Steenild, White Rock n The proposal to expand coal exports from Fraser Surrey Docks makes no environmental or economic sense. Environmentally, coal is toxic as a dust and as emissions from burning. The dust will be scattered: at the point of loading; within 600 yards each side of the train tracks during transport; at the point of unloading; at the point of loading on the barges on B.C.’s major salmon river; at the unloading of the barges; at the loading of the ships; at the unloading of the ships; and during the transport to the burning source.
Although the burning takes place in Asia, the air does not stay there. It will travel to North America, with its load of toxic metals and earthwarming carbon load. Economically, there are only 50 jobs generated. There will be: a loss of many more jobs from businesses near the tracks and loading area; a decrease of business tax revenue from affected businesses; a decrease in nearby property values collected; and an increase in health-care costs due to the toxic effect of coal dust. There are no benefits to this Fraser Surrey Docks proposal. John & Eileen Davidson, Surrey n Environment and health concerns are overshadowing the fundamental business costs that must be included in the evaluation of a Fraser Surrey Docks coal-export facility. Quantifiable local costs are being denied an opportunity to weigh into the business case, and the potential to find workable solutions with Port Metro Vancouver. Costs not considered include: • Lost productivity from transportation inefficiency. Trains are causing up to 15-minute delays at level crossings. The number of trains, multiplied by number of crossings, multiplied by number of people waiting, gives the total lost man hours that must be subtracted from the 25 new jobs created.
• GVRD sewage pipeline runs parallel to the rail line. The GVRD has been repairing human-sewage leaks on this line in Crescent Beach; the cause has been identified as vibration from heavy rail traffic. • An underpass at Crescent Beach is a requirement. Surrey has spent millions beautifying and promoting the beach as a family park. Visitors routinely have cars backed up Crescent Road past 128 Street. • Slope stability – long, heavy coal trains have introduced a magnitude of vibration along the bluff. Mud slides are frequent and are becoming more frequent. If vibration issues are not addressed, Camp Kwomais and the bluff residences are at risk. • Rental income – long-term rental and B&B business has been impacted in Crescent Beach. Brake and whistle noise makes sleep impossible for many. Current rail traffic generates more than 144 whistle blasts per day within a one-km stretch; most of these are at night. I could go on but only wish to make the point that there are very real costs to Surrey that must be subtracted from the benefit of 25 additional union jobs. If the business case is solid, and if it paints the picture we want for Surrey’s future, we should prepare an upgrade-plan and proceed with both feet.

250,000 of toll bridge’s registered users didn’t use free trips
Port Mann Bridge free-crossing credits expire Jeff Nagel
HOV-lane cheaters might not prosper
Black Press
Drivers who got 20 free crossings of the new Port Mann Bridge by registering early with the TReO tolling system have lost any unused credits. Bridge officials say that as of last week, about 250,000 of the more than 800,000 TReO-registered drivers still had free trips remaining, but they expired May 31. It means many Port Mann Bridge users who had crossed for free now have to pay out of pocket to continue to cross the new span. Drivers of regular vehicles who signed up by the end of February are still charged the halfprice $1.50 per crossing until December, while those who aren’t registered pay the full $3 toll and some of them are also charged a $2.30 licence plate-processing fee if they don’t pay within a week. More than 90 per cent of regular morning commuters over the bridge are registered for electronic-tolling detection, said Transportation Investment Corp. spokesman Greg Johnson. The small minority who aren’t yet registered are offered another carrot to sign up for TReO. Those who do so by Nov. 30 get two free crossings. And if they sign up by the end of June, TReO will convert any licence plate-processing fees they were charged in the previous 30 days into an additional credit. Johnson said use of the bridge continues to fluctuate between 100,000 and 115,000 vehicles per day, or about three million per month. He said that’s essentially the same as with the old untolled bridge, adding that while some traffic has diverted to crossings like the Pattullo or Alex Fraser to avoid tolls, other drivers who avoided the Port Mann due to congestion

The new Port Mann Bridge will soon lose its older companion, set to be dismantled this year. have come back. “As construction progresses through Burnaby and Coquitlam, drivers will see even more time savings,” Johnson said. The Port Mann/Highway 1 Improvement project is still slated for completion by the end of this year, with work continuing on interchanges and lanes in Coquitlam, Burnaby and Vancouver. One of the final stages of the work will be to open the remaining two lanes of the 10-lane

Port Mann. The additional lanes will be segregated from the rest of traffic and offer a direct connection between Surrey and Coquitlam. Meanwhile, the dismantling of the old Port Mann Bridge is becoming more obvious. All the deck and most of the girders have now been removed from the north approach. And, Johnson said, crews will begin dismantling the main span arch this summer, gradually lowering segments down to barges in the Fraser River.
Toll collector TReO may use its cameras to detect and punish Port Mann Bridge users who improperly use the HOV lane to get a 25 per cent discount. The HOV discount applies in the morning and afternoon weekday rushes and there have been reports of lone motorists swerving into the HOV lane just before the tolling sensors in order to pay less. Transportation Investment Corp. spokesman Greg Johnson said the RCMP enforce HOV lane rules but added TReO may take its own steps to deal with discount cheaters. “We’re looking at doing our own monitoring,” he said, adding it’s too early to provide details on how that will work. Solo drivers who TReO determines were using the HOV lane to get the discount could lose their privileges, he said. He maintained HOV-lane abuse on the bridge is not rampant. “We’ve seen the vast majority of people who travel under the gantry in the HOV lane have more than one person in their vehicle.”

White Rock ‘divas’ raising money to help impoverished Dominican community
Building opportunities from the ground up Sarah Massah
W
Staff Reporter
alking through the corridor that led into Barrio Blanco, Victoria Clement’s heart was pounding. The White Rock woman had an idea of what she would see in the tiny Dominican Republic village, thanks to photos she had viewed prior to her trip, but admitted it was still shocking to see the conditions of hundreds of people, living in such squalor. “It was as though someone had back-hoed over a landfill,” Clement said. “You could not find a door unless you were shown it. They were using pieces of plastic, tupperware lids and garbage to make their homes, because that’s all they had.” Clement – along with a group of friends, known as “The Divas” – had ventured to the Dominican Republic in February to finally meet the family they had sponsored for a new home through a charitable organization. The family, consisting of grandmother and village matriarch Regina, daughter Amparo and husband Alfi, granddaughter Karoly and greatgrandchildren Kris Engelyz and Cari, embraced The Divas with open arms on their visit, Clements noted. “It’s amazing to see these people, who have nothing, have so much love and spirit. They are our family now. We consider Amparo a sister,” she said. After seeing the difference a properly built home made to the family, the six friends knew they would have to carry on with their work. The Divas will host a June 8 White Rock fundraiser intended to support the building of further homes – but help is needed even more than they supposed when first planning the event. On May 26, they learned Regina and Amparo were in a serious car accident while on their way to church. “No one is dead, but there are many broken bones and surgery was scheduled for Tuesday,”

Clements said in an email update. “More than ever they are going to need the help as those two are bread winners and cooks for the men in the barrio who are building the homes. I can’t even imagine what’s happening on their end right now.” The Divas’ fundraiser benefiting Barrio Blanco will be held at the Knights of Columbus Council 7015 Chambers, located below the Star of the Sea Hall at 15262 Pacific Ave., from 6:30-9 p.m. on June 8.

Two years ago, while vacationing with his wife at a resort near the village, Zauner ventured outside the hotel to discover, first hand, the impoverished community they overlooked from their balcony. After meeting the villagers and hearing their stories, Zauner started up non-profit charity Providing Opportunity, which aims to improve the living conditions in Barrio Blanco with homes, work skills for residents

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Marriott, Semiahmoo place fourth and ninth, respectively, at senior boys rugby provincials
Mariners ousted by five-time champs Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
No matter how hard they try, the Earl Marriott Mariners just can’t get past the semifinals at B.C. High School Rugby Championships. And they have the now-five-time defending champion Shawnigan Lake Stags to thank. On Thursday at Abbotsford’s Rotary Stadium, the Mariners met the Vancouver Island-based private school in provincial semifinals for
the third time since 2009, and lost 45-7. Shawnigan Lake went on to win the title game Saturday – 17-12 over the St. George’s Saints – while the Mariners were bounced into the third-place game, which they lost 17-11 to Abbotsford’s Yale Lions. And though the Mariners, who were the tournament’s No. 3 seed, still finished in fourth for the third time in five years, head coach Adam Roberts was already looking ahead
to next year, when he hopes his club will finally get the better of the powerhouse Stags. “We lose to Shawnigan in semis every friggin’ time,” he said. “This game, it just got away from us. Shawnigan is a great team – they’re so well-trained, so physically (imposing), but we’ll keep pushing and eventually we’ll get over that hump.” For the Mariners, the highlight of the tournament came Wednesday
in quarter-finals, when the team pulled off a last-second victory over Abbotsford’s Robert Bateman Timberwolves on a drop-goal by Tomasi Vataiki. Marriott won the game 13-12 when Vataiki, a fullback, booted a perfect drop-goal through the uprights from about 15 yards out to give his team the improbable win as time expired. “It was pure pandemonium. It was nuts – just nuts,” said Roberts, add-
ing that in every practice, his team practices a drop-goal set play for such a situation, rare as it is. “We’ve had so many battles with those guys over the years, and I know their guys were just gutted. I felt bad for those kids – it was another great game.” Vataiki wasn’t even Marriott’s top choice to make the kick, but regular kicker Colin Stonier was injured in the final minute, leaving Vataiki to › see page 15
Schools finish in top 10
Tweedsmuir, Marriott star on the track Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Earl Marriott’s Kathryn Van Ryswyk won gold twice, and a pair of Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary athletes combined for five medals as the two schools both placed inside the top 10 at BC High School Track and Field Championships over two days in Langley last week. On Friday, Van Ryswyk took top spot in the senior girls pole vault, clearing the bar at 3.45 m – besting the second-place competitor by 35 cm. Van Ryswyk, was the defending champion in the event, having won gold last year with a mark of 3.1 m. A day later, the EMS senior scored her second gold medal of the event, winning the senior girls 100-m hurdles in 14.45 seconds, eight-tenths of a second quicker than Tumbler Ridge’s Laura Sharman, who claimed silver. Tweedsmuir, meanwhile, was led by Ben Ingvaldson, who won a gold and two bronze medals, and runner Jasmine Grant, who also had a pair of bronze-medal finishes. Along with a fifth-place performance from the school’s 4x100m relay team, Lord Tweedsmuir totalled 38 points at the two-day meet, tying for 10th place with Langley Secondary. Earl Marriott was ninth overall, with 45 total points. Ingvaldson won his gold medal in the senior boys shotput, with a throw of 15.64-m. He was also the bronze medalist in the › see page 15

Orcas fourth at senior girls AAA provincials
Best-ever finish for Elgin girls rugby team The Elgin Park Orcas’ senior girls rugby squad has upped the ante for future teams from the South Surrey school. Last week, the Orcas placed fourth at B.C. AAA Senior Girls Rugby Championships – the highest the team has finished in school history. Elgin opened the tournament May 23 with a 47-12 loss to Courtenay’s G.P. Vanier Towhees, but rebounded the next day with a 29-0 shutout over Burnaby North. The Orcas’ last game of the tournament was a rematch of this year’s Fraser Valley

› from page 13 hammer throw and discus. His best effort was 51.93-m toss in the hammer, while his throw of 45.26-m in the discus edged the fourth-place athlete by eight centimetres. Grant won her bronze medals with two personal best times, bouncing back from a Grade 11 year that saw her performance slowed by illness. “Last year I had mono for three months before (provincials), so I ran the 100 and 200 but not the 400,” she said. “I didn’t make the final in either, it was a lot to overcome. So this year was a bit of a comeback, I guess. It felt pretty good.” She was third in both the 200-m race with a time of 25.76 seconds, and the 400-m in 57.76 seconds. “I was so so happy in the end to get a couple of medals in my Grade 12 year.” Other medallists from Earl Marriott included middle-
distance runner Ally Ginther, who won bronze in the senior girls 3,000-m with a time of 10 minutes, 16.59 seconds. Teammate Sarah Korpach won silver in the 400-m hurdles. Elgin Park finished with a pair of medals, as Jake Hanna won silver in the 400-m with a time of 49.6 seconds, while Danielle Steer won bronze in the girls 800-m. Max Hanna, meanwhile, finished fifth in javelin to round out the school’s top showings. Semiahmoo Secondary had no medallists in senior events. Top results for Semi included eighth-place finishes for Brandon Figueroa (senior boys 1,500-m), Katherine Reiss (senior girls triple jump) and Richard Roberts (senior boys 400-m hurdles). White Rock Christian Academy also had no medals to report, with Glen Johnston’s fifthplace finish in the senior boys decathlon being the top mark. – with files from Rick Kupchuk
› from page 13 play the hero’s role. It was a gut-wrenching result for Bateman, who had lost the 2012 Fraser Valley championship to EMS. Earlier this season, they had defeated Marriott 32-31 in a game that, ironically, was also won on the last play of the game. “We’d asked the boys to put everything out there, and when they left the game not to have any excuses,” said Bateman coach Dave Chambers said. “The guys did that. “Earl Marriott won with probably the hardest play to execute in rugby. That play has won World Cups, and it’s also lost championships because people have made mistakes. It’s not a lucky play – it’s a play where everything has to go right.” Unfortunately for the Mariners, they couldn’t carry the momentum into semifinals, and in Saturday’s third-place game against Yale, they stumbled in the game’s final moments. Earl Marriott led 11-10 with 3:37
IT’S ALL RIGHT HERE IN
And while Marriott ran out of luck on the tournament’s final two days, their South Surrey rivals from Semiahmoo did the opposite. After getting bounced to the consolation bracket after Day 1 – losing 67-0 to the No. 1-seeded Saints – the 16th seed Totems won their final three games to finish ninth. “It was great,” said Semiahmoo coach Tom Wilson. “We sort of knew the first game was going to be tough. But after that, our guys really stepped it up.” On Day 2, Semi knocked off No. 9 Carson Graham – “They’ve been our rivals for a long, long time,” Wilson explained – 22-20, and followed that with wins over Lord Byng and Argyle. The Peninsula’s other entry into provincials, the Elgin Park Orcas, finished 15th – exactly where they were seeded to start the tourney. On the final day, they won the 15th/16th-place game, 30-22 over Sardis Secondary. – with files from Dan Kinvig

With sadness we announce the passing of Robert “Bob” Richardson, a long time resident of White Rock. Bob will be sadly missed by his loving wife of 57 years, Jill, his “baby” brother Philip of Summerland, his 4 children Peter (Bev), Pat (Neal), Sandra (Harry) and Nancy (John) and his 6 grandchildren Adam, Tessa, Glen, Wendy, Paul, and Madeline. Bob was born and raised in Vancouver, studied Engineering at UBC, and had a long and successful career as a Hydrographic Surveyor for the DPW, Canada. He loved the outdoors and was most at home when boating, fishing, golfing, or gardening. He was a founding member of the Crescent Beach Yacht Club, and the Training Officer for the White Rock Power Squadron for many years. After retirement he took great pleasure in woodworking and was a “handyman extraordinaire”. He was a keen observer of nature and was generous with his expertise and stories. He appreciated all his friends and colleagues who crossed his path throughout his life. Special thanks to the nurses, doctors and staff of the Cardiology Unit at SMH for their kind care. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Victory Memorial Funeral Centre, 14831 - 28 Ave., Surrey on Mon., June 10/13 at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made in his name to the BC Branch of the Kidney Foundation or the BC Heart & Stroke Foundation.
It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of Robert Stewart, a dear stepfather, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend in PAH on May 29, 2013. Bob was predeceased by his beloved partner of 31 years Helen Richmond in 2006. Bob leaves to mourn his stepdaughter Elaine Peloquin (Leo), granddaughter Alicia White (Ryan) grandsons Craig and Daryl Peloquin, greatgrandsons Brent, Blake, Trey and Noah and his good friend Jack Gunion. Bob was born in Ferryhill, (Durham) England on October 16, 1933 the only child of Maria and Robert Stewart. He left England at 14 years of age to explore the world. Bob worked in Australia and New Zealand, finally arriving in Canada in the 60’s. He worked in the coal mines and later as a seamen on the freighters which enabled him to see the world. After meeting Helen in 1975 they began to travel and visited Singapore, Mexico, Australia, and their beloved Hawaii where they spent their winter months every year until her death in 2006. Bob loved to walk to Semiahmoo Mall every day and have coffee and to buy his Lotto tickets! He enjoyed meeting with his many friends there and will be sadly missed. A special Thankyou to Dr. Sidney Field and the caring staff at PAH. There will be no service by request. The family will be having a gathering of family and friends at a later date.
