‘Respect the body’ inquest hears Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
For the second time in less than a month, an inquest jury has recommended police cars be equipped with video-recording equipment. The latest recommendation – in addition to nine others that include “respect(ing) the body” after death, longer hospitalization following suicide attempts and smaller fire-rescue vehicles – was made Wednesday evening, following the coroner’s inquest into the March 23, 2011 death of Brendon Samuel Beddow. Beddow, 23, was fatally shot by by police in Crescent Beach that afternoon, by officers dispatched to a domestic disturbance in the 3000-block of McBride Avenue. When they arrived at the scene, Beddow had a gun in his hand that, despite repeated orders, he refused to drop, the inquest heard. The video suggestion was among 10 put forward by the five-member jury following the testimony of 19 witnesses, including a woman identified only as Beddow’s girlfriend; police, fire and ambulance personnel; medical professionals; and Beddow’s mother. The jury classified Beddow’s death as a homicide and determined he died as a result of a gunshot to the chest. Inquest counsel Rod MacKenzie told Peace Arch News Thursday that experts had described the injury as “catastrophic.” “The bullet went right through his heart,” he said. And while the jury also recommended that an injured individual’s restraints be adjusted or removed so as not to impede medical attention – Beddow was apparently handcuffed after he was shot

“You would think after 2½ years you would almost get to the point where you’re seeing some light and you’re getting your life back,” Michie said during a brief recess. “After today, it doesn’t feel like that.” Michie was visibly shaken during testimony from Crown witness Langley RCMP Const. Baxter Morgan, which included photos taken from the scene. Crown is expected to call more witnesses – including drivers who were in the area in the minutes leading up to the collision – to testify in the coming days. Neiss – a bus driver with the Langley School District since 2003 – had been on his way to work when the collision occurred. The dump-truck driver, identified at the time of the crash as a 62-year-old Burnaby resident, was treated at the scene and released. The trial is expected to conclude on Friday.

recently by a proposal for the Ocean Beach Hotel site. Coun. Louise Hutchinson suggested the CR-3 zone as described will never actually be used; that developers will seek and receive variances, and that proposals for second buildings are unlikely. “We know we’ll never build anything in the CR-3 zone,” she said. Hutchinson also criticized the delay as unnecessarily putting vacation-rental operators on hold. In supporting the amendments, Coun. Larry Robinson cited the ongoing focus on the Ocean Beach application. That application has been withdrawn, and the site leased, yet concerns continue to reference the proposal – something Robinson said is “a huge disservice” to property owners. “The best thing we can do is come up with some type of universal zoning for this extremely difficult area,” he said. “Short of having a zone every two blocks, this is the best possibility. This is the best job we can do.” Mayor Wayne Baldwin noted that only one property in the zone has the possibility of accommodating two buildings. The new regulations provide guidelines on height limits and densities, and “that’s not a bad thing.”

Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Those details came out in a so-called “Mr. Big” police investigation. In the Mr. Big scheme, the killer – a videogame aficionado – was promised a big screen TV as part of a video game challenge and a lucrative career in the video-game industry. Ley questioned the use of the Mr. Big operation. It tends to cause the people who are the target of the operation to “exaggerate and embellish” details, he said. Playing on his obsession with video games was an effective way to attract the young man, he said. Ley said the killer is a typical child from a normal home, whose major failing is an inability to interact with women his age. “Central to his belief is about the benefit of a sexual attack on a woman,” Ley said, adding it is an “irrational belief, but he held it strongly.” Doctors testifying last week said the young man expressed remorse over the death of Szendrei. “I wonder every day how I could do this to someone and their family,” the accused is quoted as saying. “I have destroyed my own family.”
Ley said he ran several psychological tests and found the killer was not pathological and represented a low-to-medium risk of reoffending. On Wednesday, the court heard from another doctor that his risk of reoffending was medium-to-high. Ley said the federal prison system would be the wrong place to put him. “There’s no doubt that the federal prisons are violent and risky places,” Ley told the court. “It’s not at all conducive to teaching people to get in a prosocial wain in the community.” Asked what his chances of effective treatment would be in a provincial youth system, Ley said they would be very good. “He’s got the right cognitive abilities to do very well,” Ley said. Szendrei’s attacker was arrested in February, 2011. He was initially charged with first-degree murder, but pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of second-degree murder last October. The sentencing hearing resumes Wednesday.
Survey aided Hiebert bill
Alleged incidents occurred in 2007
Poll results challenged
Assault trial to proceed
Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
An opinion poll cited repeatedly by MP Russ Hiebert as evidence of strong support for his union financial disclosure bill is the subject of a complaint to the agency that sets the standards for such research. Canadian Labour Congress president Ken Georgetti reluctantly confirmed this month that CLC filed a formal complaint with the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association regarding the 2011 Nanos Research State of the Union questionnaire. “That’s all I’ll do is confirm it,” Georgetti said, when asked. “I won’t speak to it.” MRIA interim executive director John Ball did not respond to Peace Arch News’ requests for information. Russ Hiebert The 32-question poll, conMP ducted in July 2011 at the request of LabourWatch, concluded that a majority of Canadians – including unionized workers – support mandatory financial disclosure for both public- and privatesector unions. Hiebert’s private member’s bill – C-377, introduced in the House of Commons in October 2011 – calls for unions to file financial statements with the Canada Revenue Agency annually. From the outset, C-377 has been criticized as unconstitutional, an invasion of privacy and an attempt to undermine unions. In defending its worth, Hiebert has consistently pointed to the Nanos poll results. A request to speak with Hiebert about the complaint was returned by communications specialist Peter Stock. Stock said Hiebert is “standing by all the comments he’s made” on the issue. If the review determines the poll results are inaccurate, it still shows “a huge majority” of people favour transparency, Stock said. Stock did not know exactly when Bill C-377 would return to the House of Commons. Last month, the Canadian Senate voted to send the bill back for further reconsideration, with amendments Hiebert has said gut the legislation.

A man accused of sexually assaulting two women in White Rock six years ago will stand trial on the charges, a judge has ruled. Prosecutor Winston Sayson confirmed Thursday that Judge Paul Dohm committed Jason Andrew Robinson to trial in New Westminster Supreme Court. The ruling followed a preliminary hearing in Surrey Provincial Court that wrapped up this afternoon (July 18). A publication ban prohibits disclosure of any of the evidence heard in the hearing, as well as the identification of the victims. The charges against Robinson, 34, date back to 2007, when two women – then aged 25 and 33 – reported they had been sexually assaulted at a White Rock residence by an acquaintance. According to court records, the alleged assaults occurred on Aug. 3 and Aug. 31 of that year. Const. Janelle Shoihet told Peace Arch News in April that police were alerted to the assaults in September of 2007, and a warrant for Robinson’s arrest was issued the following May. The court proceedings were delayed several times by difficulties in locating the accused, as well as by a number of missed court appearances that resulted in arrest warrants being issued. Dates for trial are expected to be set Aug. 29 in New Westminster Supreme Court. - Tracy Holmes

Const. Tina Roxanne Kerton was charged last year with care or controll of a vehicle or vessel while impaired, but pleaded to the lesser charge in Surrey Provincial Court last week. She was handed a $1,150 fine and is banned from driving for 45 days. Kerton was a sevenyear member of the RCMP when the singlecar crash occurred on Jan. 15, 2012.

Man shot by Surrey RCMP A man is in hospital in serious condition after being shot by a Surrey RCMP officer last week. Just after 10 p.m. Thursday, a Mountie was called to a suspected arson near 125 Street and 110 Avenue. On arrival, the RCMP officer was approached by a man allegedly armed with a knife. The man was ordered to drop the weapon, but police say he kept advancing toward the police officer. The officer shot him. The victim was taken to hospital by ambulance and is in serious condition. The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) has been requested
to investigate the shooting (a requirement in any policeinvolved shooting). The IIO deployed six officers to the investigation. IIO executive director Kellie Kilpatrick said Friday morning officers were combing the scene for physical evidence. She would not say whether police had found a knife, where he was struck or whether the victim is known to police. “The incident initiated in one part of the area and concluded at the other end if it, so that’s why it’s such a large area,” Kilpatrick said. As to how long the investigation might take, Kilpatrick said
they tend to range from three months to nine months. “In this case we have one affected person, we have one civilian witness that’s been identified, one officer,” Kilpatrick said. “Given that we have a scene that’s contained ... we may be able to wrap this up in a more timely manner than others.” As set by the chief civilian director, the IIO’s goals are to conduct fair, unbiased, timely, thorough and competent investigations, and ensure transparency through public reporting. Police say because of the preliminary nature of the investigation, no further details will be provided at this time.

Smartphone addiction can prove costly
T
hey’re called smartphones, but the way some people use them is anything but smart – giving us all legitimate cause for concern about public safety. A new poll that shows that 64 per cent of adults in B.C. own a smartphone also reveals, more disturbingly, that about 18 per cent of those who do consider themselves “strongly addicted to the device.” Predictably, the majority who placed themselves in that particular category describe their addiction as ‘manageable.’ It’s a rare addict, after all, who acknowledges his or her addiction – whatever it is – is galloping out of control. That all changes, of course, when the addict is faced with incontrovertible evidence – usually some severe crisis or tragedy – that calls for an immediate change in behaviour. The question is, should we, as a society, be expected to pay the price of such a crisis or tragedy? Particularly when it’s something like an accident caused by driving without due care and attention? Smartphones offer entertainment and information through a multitude of apps, and they have very practical uses in terms of communication, particularly in emergencies, that have, so far, merely scratched the surface of their potential. But it’s no news they also function as a distraction. According to the recent poll, those who who describe themselves as addicted estimate they spend an average of 2.5 of their waking hours staring at their diminutive keypads and screens. If that 2.5 hours were spent in one block of time, it might be a different matter – but it’s spread throughout the day, usually while the users are multi-tasking in some way. We should all be more aware of the imminent dangers such devices present – and to make sure that we are actually controlling them – and not the other way around. The human animal is, inevitably, flawed – and there is always the temptation to make just one short call, check that one detail, complete that half-finished text or glance at that incoming message. A quick look, a few more words, just this once – who could it hurt? The answer is not only ourselves, but many others as well.

And I hope more British Columbians watch this, because this needs to change. And I think it can change. TF: The NDP opposition decides when you and Delta South Independent Vicki Huntington get your occasional moments in question period? AW: Yes, and if I’ve asked it’s been no problem. TF: Grudgingly, no doubt. If the NDP had their way, the closest Green Party member would be in Holland. AW: [Laughs] Yes. Certainly not in North America. There’s this sense of entitlement within the NDP to the ‘green’ vote. And I sense that the B.C. Liberals very much like our existence, as being not NDP. The reality is, we take as many Liberal votes, if not more. It’s because what it means to be ‘green’ has moved out of what the NDP view as green, which is a tree hugger. It’s kids going to school, talking about conservation and going home to talk to their parents. That’s where our votes are coming from. TF: Are you going to be found standing in front of a coal train any time soon? AW: No, never. They asked me to, and I said no, because I don’t believe in civil disobedience.

Elitist attitude shared on road Editor: My assumption was that all of the elitist, self-absorbed cyclists were contained within Vancouver. I stand corrected. Last week, I was out for a spin on my e-bike – which I have done regularly for the past two summers – and encountered a cyclist in full ‘Tour de France’ gear exiting the Morgan Crossing village onto Croydon Drive. He hurried up to get in front of me and then made a right turn onto 24 Avenue, with no signal to show his intentions to the vehicles within the intersection. I put on my turn signal and followed him around the corner and then moved over to the empty curb lane to pass him. He shouted for me to ‘get off the road.’ Once safely past him, I moved back into the bike lane and had to stop at the traffic light at 156 Street. While waiting for the light, he caught up to me and immediately told me to “get out of the bike lane.” I indicated that my vehicle was a bike – there are manual pedals that can power the rear wheels. He said it was powered and should not be in the bike lane. He then said that he “worked” and I countered that I “worked for many years but I was now retired.” He then clarified that he “pedalled” his bike – I guess just in case I missed that fact. There was a senior gentleman on the sidewalk getting a great chuckle out of this prime example of entitlement on the part of the cyclist. The light then changed; I accelerated away from the intersection and the cyclist. I have always shown respect and consideration for those other users of the roadway whether on bicycles, motorbikes or automobiles. I don’t feel that I ‘own’ any part of the road and was extremely surprised by the attitude shown by this individual. Wayne Mercer, Surrey
Caribbean content Editor: Surrey Asian entrepreneurs have submitted six radio station applications currently before the CRTC. They are competing for a new radio station proposed for the Vancouver/Surrey marketplace. Surrey is presently well served with radio stations linked in programming to Asian ethnic content and owned primarily by Asian entrepreneurs who are economically and socially attached to the Surrey community. It is not for me to suggest if the Surrey marketplace and community can support or should get another radio station. The criteria are well enunciated by the CRTC. For many years, the Caribbean
community, through my initiative, has pursued Asian radio stations in Surrey and Richmond for a nominal one-hour, five-day-per-week program with Caribbean content, reggae music, open line and news, without success. I am suggesting the next Asianowned radio station in Surrey make some provisions and offer program content to the Caribbean community. The economic benefits in this marketplace for radio stations must be very lucrative, hence the reason for so many applications. Orvis Noel, Surrey
A matter of respect Editor: Since the summer began, the residents of Marine Drive have been subjected to the usual testosteronelaced motorcycles, as well as speeding vehicles of all shapes and sized – cars, trucks, buses. This increased volume of traffic, along with the incessant speeding at all hours of the day and night, has also increased the noise levels.
Since no driver along that stretch seems to appreciate the posted speed limit of 30 km/h, and doesn’t seem bothered by the pedestrians, cyclists or the law, perhaps they would care about the wildlife? This month, a deer was struck on East Beach by a speeding vehicle. Please slow down. For the sake of everyone. The noise is ridiculous, the safety issues are numerous and it is the law! The police shouldn’t have to be there all the time to enforce the clearly posted law. Please respect it, and respect other people and the fauna of our area. Sandy Mechefske, White Rock

Derailing a dangerous situation Editor: Re: White Rock jogger killed by train, July 16. When we were kids, we were taught to stop and look both ways before crossing the street. We must learn to do the same when crossing railway tracks. A while back I walked over the tracks in East Beach at the Sandpiper Pub corner for my morning walk. I looked neither right nor left when I crossed and was horrified to have an Amtrak train glide by me just a minute or so after I crossed. I neither saw nor heard the train. It did not sound its horn at that crossing. The trains are very quiet; you are only warned by the sound of the horn. I learned my lesson. I check the track right and left before crossing now. It’s beautiful at the beach in White Rock, but dangerous. Lynne Collins, Surrey n Re: Question of the week, July 18-25. According to your current online question of the week – “Should more be done to protect pedestrians at rail crossings?” – apparently, as of last week, the majority feel nothing more should be done. In a perfect world, we would all like to see the trains take a different route and away from our beautiful White Rock beach. This is not going to happen, so I believe more can and should be done to keep the public safe. Automatic warning devices with flashing lights and crossing arms at each pedestrian crossing along the White Rock boulevard should be installed. With train traffic increasing as well as the popularity of the White Rock beach/Marine Drive and boulevard area, it seems to me this is a common-sense solution to prevent further tragedies. For those so quick to jump to conclusions and judge
an individual who paid with her life for a split-second decision gone so terribly wrong, yes, I believe in personal responsibility. But have you not made a poor decision that could have had dire consequences but did not? Let us all pull together to make this gem called White Rock beach safer. Jacqueline Williams, n Re: Parental responsibility, July 16 letters. I am responding to Katherine Booth’s letter wherein she states “it is your responsibility as parents to teach your children to stay off the tracks.” As a parent and grandparent, I feel it is the responsibility of the railway, Transport Canada and the community to ensure the safety of all and not just parents. This would include protection of all adults, children, including the environment. It would seem the letter writer is fine with letting everyone else off the hook and laying any tragic event solely on the parents. This is ignoring the fact that there is a company profiting from their services who perhaps may favour less regulatory infringements, and a federal agency that may well be under-resourced to oversee. Both these parties should be respecting the citizens’ views and protecting our interests and the environment. The recent White Rock tragedy of the adult jogger at a public pedestrian crossing – as well as the disaster in Lac-Mégantic – attests to the fact that it is not just the parents’ responsibility. There are others who also own the “responsibility” for any and all tragedies concerning the railways – namely our political leaders and the railway corporate executive. John Mackintosh, Surrey

An 18-year-old Surrey woman is dead following a Wednesday night single-vehicle crash on River Road in East Richmond, near Westminster Highway. Richmond RCMP Sgt. Cam Kowalski said the incident occurred around 9 p.m., when the vehicle left the road and struck two hydro poles on the 22000block of River Road. When Richmond Mounties arrived, firefighters were in the ditch next to the vehicle, trying to extract the teen. Kowalski said the vehicle had been eastbound prior to hitting the poles. The victim suffered serious injuries and was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital, but died of her injuries around 6:40 a.m Thursday. There were four people in the vehicle, ages 18 to 21. The others suffered minor injuries, police said. Speed is a possible factor, as is driver inexperience, but alcohol is not considered a factor. The road remained closed until early Thursday afternoon. Check us out on-line

60,000 smart-meter installations delayed by request
Keep old power meter, for a fee Tom Fletcher Black Press
People who insist on refusing new wireless electrical meters can keep their old mechanical meter as long as it lasts, if they pay a monthly fee, Energy Minister Bill Bennett announced Thursday. Customers can keep their mechanical meters until they break down, their Measurement Canada accuracy seal expires or the customer relocates, the ministry said in a statement. The mechanical meter option is added to an earlier compromise with BC Hydro customers who still don’t have a digital smart meter, which transmits power consumption and status via radio signals. Customers can have a digital meter with its transmission function turned off, or keep their old meter, as long as they pay the cost of having

the meter read manually. Bennett said the cost of meter reading will be about $20 a month. Customers who accept a deactivated smart meter will also pay a fee of about $100 to have it adjusted. The fee to keep a mechanical meter will be higher, because it will require a separate
system to manually record and bill for power consumption, Bennett said. NDP energy critic John Horgan said he is pleased that the proposed fees will be reviewed by the B.C. Utilities Commission before being implemented. The opt-out provision should have been made available from the start, instead of rushing to meet the government’s artificial deadline to install smart meters, Horgan said. BC Hydro reports that 60,000 smart meter installations have been delayed due to customer request, while 1.8 million now have a functioning smart meter. Some people persist in the belief that the radio signals from smart meters are a health hazard, despite the fact that the periodic meter signals represent a tiny fraction of the radio frequency exposure from a mobile phone call.
Sentencing for attack delayed for seventh time Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
The sentencing of a man who pleaded guilty in December to participating in a violent attack in White Rock last year was delayed yet again this month, after the man’s lawyer said he needed more time. The July 4 appearance in Surrey Provincial Court was the seventh that had been set for sentencing Tyrone Stuart McDougall.
“There’s still information that I require with respect to Mr. McDougall,” lawyer Danny Markovitz told Judge Ann Rounthwaite, asking for an additional three weeks. Asked how long it had been on the books for sentencing, Markovitz conceded a date has been set “on a few occasions.” “Mr. McDougall did not attend as required,” he said. The first sentencing date was Feb. 5.

McDougall was one of two men arrested following a May 24, 2012 police raid on a home in the 15300-block of Pacific Avenue. The court heard in December – during the sentencing of co-accused Robert Dean Orr – that the pair had gone to the home two days prior to collect on money owed from the sale of an amplifier, and that one man at the home was beaten

when neither money or the equipment was forthcoming. Orr was handed a nine-month sentence, followed by a year’s probation. McDougall has been in custody since mid-May. Thursday, Markovitz told the judge the extra time was needed to make recoveryhouse accommodation arrangements. Sentencing is now scheduled for Aug. 6.

Kohler – who represented “My husband and I have quite Canada in 2011 at the Special Rosalie Wessels a big piece of land.

But my husband passed “Stacey was so pleasant and helpful. When away about five years ago, and of course, I saw her planting, I noticed that she was I’m not capable of keeping it up.

for me that I couldn’t possibly do for myself. Especially in this weather when you want to sit outside, you don’t want to look at a bunch of weeds and overgrowth. You should be able to see a few flowers.” For Kohler, 30, who is a part of the landscaping crew at Semiahmoo House, the experience was one that she hopes to do again. “I had a lot of fun. We weeded, pruned and planted,” she said, noting she had some help from Semiahmoo House staff member May Micla. “I would definitely love to do it again.” Made possible through a grant from the Ministry of Health, through the United Way of the Lower Mainland, the program provides non-medical home support for seniors in South Surrey and White Rock. According to a release from the Senior Come Share Society, the program has
garnered much interest, with a wait list of people requesting services before it was even up-and-running. The services provided include light housekeeping, basic yard and home maintenance, friendly visits, telephone reassurance calls and referrals to homedelivery grocery programs. Fees for the program will be determined by a sliding scale based on the seniors’ previous year’s income and their ability to pay, in order to accommodate all financial situations. “Anybody who needs help should really go up to Come Share and tell them exactly what they want because they have ways and means of helping you,” Wessels said, noting that for as long as she can, she will be staying at her own home with her garden. “It’s wonderful to have those flowers and just look outside and see some colour.”

The Game’s Afoot
interest to old-time radio fans, retromystery buffs and people who spend much of their time caring for parents or other ailing family members. Non-profit group Family Caring For Family, which creates events as a muchneeded respite for caregivers, will present the play in conjunction with the producer Katherine Siemens’ Dreaming Elephant Studio, and additional sponsor Tim Horton’s. Featuring author/director Browne, and film, stage and TV actors Mike Roberds, Melia McClure, Marina Lazzarotto, Michael Broderick, Roger Currie, Tom Saunders, Russel Chartrand and Graham Hiscocks, the production recreates a 1932 live radio broadcast with two episodes of the exploits of Max Bennett, “an ace private investigator who finds adventure where the mysteries of the old world meet the mysteries of the new.” There will be a special 4:30 p.m. preshow reception and nominal ticket price for caregivers ($2), but tickets will also be available to the general public ($12), with doors open for them at 5:30 p.m. (the show begins at 6 p.m.) Tickets are available at the door; for more information for caregivers, call Stephanie at 604-239-4376.
Mystery fans who enjoyed last year’s Peninsula Productions summer presentation, The Mousetrap, will be happy to hear ‘The Game’s Afoot’ at last. The show, by popular American playwright Ken Ludwig, had its Canadian premiere July 10 at the Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. There’s a high fun quotient to the murder mystery/comedy, helmed by Peninsula Productions’ artistic director Wendy Bollard. Set in 1936, The Game’s Afoot revolves around the stabbing death of a guest staying at the Connecticut castle of Broadway actor William Gillette, original star of the 1899 production of Sherlock Holmes. Determined to prove himself a great sleuth in real life, Gillette takes a page out of Holmes’ book and sets out to track down the killer before another victim appears. The show, which runs until July 28, stars Ben Odberg as Gillette, with Lori Tych, David Quast, Val Dearden, Michelle Collier, Mahara Sinclaire, Rebekah McEwen and Everett Shea. Tickets ($18-23) are available at 604-5367536, at the Playhouse box office, Tuesdays to Saturdays, $1-5 p.m. and online at www. whiterockplayers.ca

Organizers of White Rock’s International Artist Day (IAD) Festival – planned for Oct. 21 to Oct. 27 – are issuing an immediate call for volunteers. IAD founder Chris MacClure, and hostess Jane Baldwin, wife of White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin, say it’s an ideal opportunity to “make new friends and experience the art world firsthand.” “There are many openings in all areas of help, whatever your expertise,” they say. The festival is still calling for artists for the visual arts exhibit component which will run Oct. 25-27 at White Rock Community Centre. That section of the festival will be a partial juried show for which artists are invited to submit up to three 12x12-inch gallery wrapped, ready-to-hang canvas pieces (there will be a jurying fee of $25 which will cover up to three pieces). Submissions will be accepted up to Aug. 15, with a delivery deadline of Sept. 15 for pieces that are chosen. Works can be anything from paintings to mixed media, provided they meet the size constraints, and organizers are prepared to entertain sculpture and photography as well, provided the work can be kept to the same scale and price point (submitting artists in these media should email organizers full details of their work). Artists should email info@ tourismwhiterock.com

Host country bumped from contention after loss to Australia
Canada finishes fourth at Canadian Open Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
For the third consecutive year, Japan will play for first place in the women’s international division of the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship, while Canada will settle for fourth. Japan punched its ticket to the final – which was played at Softball City Monday night, after Peace Arch News’ press deadline – after a 5-0 shutout win Sunday over the United States. Japan was to face the winner of a Monday afternoon semifinal between Australia and the U.S. – a game that was also played after press deadline. Australia played the role of spoiler Sunday, knocking out the fan-favourite Canadian squad with a 6-4 win, to leave the host country in fourth place. The Aussies plated one run in the first inning – courtesy of a pair of hits and a double-steal – but the damage could have been much worse for Team Canada, had pitcher Marina Demore not been able to pitch out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam later in the inning. Canada took a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the second inning when Meagan Baird hit a two-run single through the right side of the infield. The decisive inning, however, was the third, as Australia put five runs on the board, highlighted by a two-run single by Belinda White and an RBI double by Stacey Porter. Canada replied with two runs in the fourth when Erika Polidori scored both with a bases-loaded single, but the Canadians couldn’t get any closer than 6-4; Canadian batters went down in order in the final three innings. All three Canadian pitchers in the game were former White Rock Renegades – Demore started and lasted two innings before being relieved by Jocelyn Cater and Sara Groenewegen, the latter of whom was playing her first Open for the senior national team. Cater was tagged with the loss. Earlier Sunday, Canada defeated the California A’s 1-0, with the game’s lone run coming on a solo home run from Canada’s Jenny Gilbert.

Outfielders Victoria Hayward and Caitlin Lever and shortstop Joey Lye were the Canadians among the 10 players honoured. Hayward hit .500 with four runs scored and six RBIs, while Lever hit .474 with two runs scored and a pair of RBIs. Lye had a .375 average. Lyndsey Doyle of the U.S. was the third outfielder to receive an all-star nod, after hitting .438 with three runs scored and three RBIs. The infield was comprised of Amanda Chidester (.500 average with one home run and five RBIs) of the U.S. at first base, Yuruby Alicart (.462 average with one home run) of Venezuela at second base and Raven Chavanne (.571 average with eight runs
scored and an RBI) of the U.S.A. at third base. Mandy Ogle of the California A’s received the all-star award at catcher, hitting .444 with three RBIs. The lone Australian to be recognized was Georgia Casey, named as a utility player after hitting .429 and driving home five runs. The top pitcher was Cheridan Hawkins of the U.S., who had a 1.50 earned run average with 15 strikeouts.
Women’s Elite The women’s elite tournament was won by the White Rock Renegades, who defeated the Quebec Rebelles 2-0 in the final game Sunday.
The Rebelles actually lost in semifinals, 11-4 to Team BC, but still advanced after the BC squad withdrew from the tournament due to not having enough players to field a team for the last game. According to Canadian Open director Greg Timm, the team was short-staffed due to injury as well as having some players with other playing commitments. In the final, the Rebelles were stymied by White Rock pitcher Maddie Lynch-Crumrie, who pitched a complete-game two-hitter. White Rock’s first run came in the third frame, when Jesslyn Hodge singled and later scored on a Richelle McGarva triple. The team doubled its lead in the seventh, when Kyla Myre doubled, then scored on a Emma Culling double.

McBride, Roy David
Contact: George Costello PH: 1-877-914-0001 WWW.TRANSX.COM
June 9, 1926 - July 6, 2013
Roy passed away peacefully at his home in Nanoose Bay. His long healthy life was interrupted prematurely by malignant mesothelioma. He will be sadly missed by his wife Joan, son David (Debbie) and daughter Brenda who spent his last days with him sharing memories, hugs, kisses and lovingly caring for him. He thanked his family for their end of life care and they thanked him for his guidance, support and love for us all. Roy was especially proud of his four grandchildren Lindsay, Keeley, Kyle and Russell. “Papa” always made a special effort to share in their lives. He will also be remembered by his entire extended family and many friends with whom he always kept in touch. Roy was born in Chemainus, BC and grew up at Great Central Lake on Vancouver Island. He spent his early years hunting, fishing, canoeing and pursuing the love of his life, Joan. He attended UBC and lived in North, and then West Vancouver where he made many Life Long friends. Roy was a Professional Engineer (Civil) and had a successful career as employee, then co-owner of Halse Martin Construction. His career accomplishments included the restoration of landmarks such as the Orpheum Theatre and CPR station. Some of Roy’s other special projects were the Expo Roundhouse and the whale pool at the Vancouver Aquarium. He served as chairman of the BC Construction Association and was on the Executive Committee of the Canadian Construction Association. He was past president and a life member of the Vancouver Regional Construction Association. He also served on many local volunteer boards including the Qualicum Beach Civic Centre and the Parksville Lawn Bowling Club. His 25 year retirement was spent in continuous adventure - travelling, fishing, swimming, gardening and boating. At the young age of 82, Roy and his good friend Mike circumnavigated Vancouver Island. But his favorite pastime was being with his wife of 63 years, spending time together. We will always remember Roy saying “I’ve had a good life” and we know it was filled with love, respect and happiness. An informal celebration of his life will be held on July 27th from 1-4 at Fairwinds Golf Club, 3730 Fairwinds Nanoose Bay. In lieu of flowers you may contribute to the R&J McBride Family Charitable Fund c/o Parksville-Qualicum Community Foundation #101-691 Beach Rd Qualicum Beach BC V9K 0A7 For online condolences visit www.yatesfuneral.ca
