Transport Canada inspector denies ‘lock’ order was ever given to City of White Rock

‘Permanently closed’ rail gate unlocked Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

With the turn of a key Friday, White Rock’s West Beach boat launch was reopened to the public.

Shopping centre expects to announce new tenant in months ahead

Semiahmoo cites Zellers exit as ‘great news’ Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

Zellers in Semiahmoo Shopping Centre is set to close at the end of the summer. The South Surrey department store – the future of which has been tenuous since U.S. chain Target purchased most Canadian Zellers stores from the Hudson’s Bay Company in 2012 – will close at the end of August, according to Brian Zozak, an executive vice-president with First Capital Realty, which owns the mall. Zozak deferred to HBC when asked for the reason for the closure, saying anything he said “would just be speculating.”

HBC spokesperson Tiffany Bourré also did not return a request for comment. However, despite not knowing why the store is to be shuttered, Zozak said he was excited with the change. “It’s great news. It gives us a chance to re-merchandise the location,” he said, adding that discussions were already underway with “one or two” potential new tenants that could anchor the space. He said there was “nothing I can announce publicly right now,” with regard to a new tenant, though estimated it would take between six months and a year for any new business to open once Zellers leaves.

Zellers has not been driving customers to the shopping centre in recent times, Zozak said, “and hasn’t for quite some time, really.” “Frankly, almost anything we replace it with will be better than what we have had there in the past,” he added. In 2012, the Semiahmoo Zellers was one of just 64 stores, out of 253 nation-wide, not sold to Target. At that time, Bourré told PAN that the location would either shut down or be rebranded under a different name. Then, after announcing in early 2013 that the store would close that March, HBC reversed course and announced the store would remain open as a liquidator for Hud-

son’s Bay and Home Outfitters, though no details were provided for the reason for the company’s change of heart. However, in March of that year, the store was closed after a mattress display caught on fire in an incident Surrey Fire Services first deemed suspicious, but later said was “not deliberate.” It reopened late last June, as one of only three stores to bear the Zellers logo. On the www.zellers.com website, only South Surrey and Etobicoke, Ont. outlets are listed as “remaining open.” However, Ottawa media reported Zellers unexpectedly reopened there this spring.

White Rock police and bylaw officers speak with youth on West Beach June 3.

White Rock officials call for safety

Fining boarders ‘not goal’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A recent incident on White Rock’s West Beach involving teens, bylaw officers and police was “just a typical day in the life of one of our bylaw officers,” officials say. “It was nothing out of the ordinary,” said Greg St. Louis, the city’s acting chief administrative officer. St. Louis said police were called to assist bylaw officers on June 3 after a youth who was stopped for longboarding on city streets became verbally abusive. St. Louis said the main concern for the bylaw officers – who have authority to arrest and detain – was safety of the youth. “With our steep slope, it’s very dangerous for these longboarders to be going down the hill,” he said. “A helmet and shin pads is no protection against a vehicle.” St. Louis said he gets a couple of calls every month – particularly when the weather is better – regarding concerns with longboarders, many of whom come from outside of White Rock to ride the city’s hills.

White Rock

“Most of the time it’s concerned residents because they see the youth on the street and, as you can expect, they’re cautious and they’re upset just because they’re worried about hitting some kids,” he said. Fining the teens is not the goal, he added. The youth at the centre of last week’s issue was handed a warning. “I stress the safety… that’s what we’re concerned about.” On top of the safety aspect, the city’s Street and Traffic Bylaw prohibits the activity. Last year, a handful of local skateboarders appealed to White Rock council to relax restrictions on the pastime, after then-councillor Larry Robinson – who died this past March – called for changes to the bylaw. In making the suggestion, Robinson noted the existing rules make “almost every humanpowered device” in White Rock illegal. City staff asked to defer a review of the regulation until sometime this year. St. Louis confirmed last week that that review is underway. He expects it complete by the end of this year.

Unexpected job action interrupts high school classes

No deal after teacher talks on weekend Tom Fletcher Black Press

Evan Seal photo

Teachers rally in Cloverdale on Monday.

B.C. teachers are expected to launch a fullscale strike today (Tuesday), after a weekend of negotiations between the teachers’ union and government did not lead to an agreement. Negotiators for the BCTF and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association met until midnight Sunday exchanging wage offers and other proposals. Monday, both sides contradicted each other on the substance of the wage offers, and each said the next move is up to the other if a deal is to be reached. BCTF president Jim Iker said a full strike is “imminent,” after union members endorsed the move in a provincewide strike vote last week. Teachers have been participating in

rotating strike action since May 26 – the same date that government imposed a series of lockouts. Thursday, students at Earl Marriott Secondary in South Surrey were left alone in classrooms after teachers there staged an unexpected walkout and picket line. The move lasted about two hours. According to a June 12 letter to parents, the teachers left “at the direction of their union.” School administration asked students to move onto the school field for ease of supervision, the letter from principal Ken Hignell states. The walkout was staged on the same day that the Labour Relations Board expanded the designation of essential services to include

supervision of Grade 10-12 provincial exams, the completion and submission of final grades for Grade 12 students and the testing and designation of special-needs students. Prior to this, provincewide rotating strikes were scheduled for last Friday and today. In study sessions around B.C. Monday – including in Cloverdale – teachers were to discuss “the current state of affairs at the bargaining table.” At Peace Arch News press time Monday, Education Minister Peter Fassbender had said he is waiting for a response from the union to the latest offer from BCPSEA, which represents the province’s 60 school districts. – with files from Tracy Holmes

Medals missing but faith intact Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Jack Miles is still hoping to be reunited with the medals and letter of commendation he earned in the RAF during and immediately after the Second World War. The mementos of a distinguished service record were snatched from the wall of his den May 30 by thieves who ransacked the home of the lively 96-year-old Newton resident while he was out at lunch with his girlfriend, Pauline. But the former flying officer said that, whatever happens, the outpouring of concern from people since the incident – including RCMP officers who spent hours searching his two-acre Highway 10 property to make sure the burglars had not dropped the medals on the way out – helped restore much of his faith in humanity. Since appearing in various media following the robbery, Miles has been particularly impressed by the reaction of younger generations to the loss of his medals – including a woman in her early 20s who approached him after he and Pauline attended a recent Vancouver concert by trumpeter Chris Botti. “She said ‘you’re famous – you’re going to get those medals back,’” he said. “Everybody is treating the loss of the medals – insignia of service to your country – as a very important thing. “Everybody is proud of being a Canadian – and I’ve felt that. People so repudiate this action, and they’ve voiced it. It really compensates for my loss to see how we’ve come together as a group. If I get them back, I will have a lot of people to thank – including the RCMP, who’ve been superb.” The missing medals recognize

Jack Miles, 96, (and below during the Second World War) has noted Canadian pride since theft of his wartime medals was reported last week. Miles’ wartime service in Canada as a pilot and instructor, a stint in Burma, helping repatriate former British POWs from what was then French Indo-China and lending aid to Dutch residents of Indonesia during uprisings after the war. They include the 1939-’45 Service Medal, the Defense Medal, the War Medal, the Burma Star and the Southeast Asia Medal. Next to them, on the wall of his den, was a framed letter from the British Air Ministry, issued in 1946, commending him for his service. They were all taken in the robbery, which also claimed a gold wristwatch, a stash of still-full liquor bottles he’d collected along the way and a small amount of cash. Ironically, Miles’ residence has a full alarm system, but it wasn’t activated on that day. He was still fortunate – the thieves, who broke in through his garage workshop, took a length of copper pipe he had there and left it in his ransacked bedroom.

“I suppose if I’d come back while they were still here, they’d have used it on me,” he said. For Miles – who had wanted to settle in Canada ever since he was first posted here as part of the Commonwealth Air Training Plan in 1941 – the robbery is only the latest chapter in a long and exotic life history. It included post-war airline flying in Peronist Argentina, and then in Canada, culminating in becoming vice-president of operations for Pacific Western Airlines, before his retirement in 1978. Born in Argentina in 1918, Miles grew up on a ranch near Buenos Aires, son of an Englishman. He wanted to be a pilot from the time when he and his cousin, Dick Moreno (now living in Victoria, and also an RAF veteran), were both 11 years old and at boarding school there. “(Famous American flyer) General Jimmy Doolittle flew over our school in his Curtiss biplane and did some aerobatics – he was visit-

ing Argentina – and I remember turning to Dick and saying, ‘that’s what I’m going to do.’” When war broke out in 1939, he was determined to go to England to volunteer for the RAF. “We were very English – even my mother, who was Argentinian, said that going to England was like going home to her,” he said. Injuries sustained in an accident with his Triumph motorcycle in 1940 sidelined him – just as well, as it turned out, since the freighter he’d originally booked passage on was torpedoed by the Germans with the loss of all on board. He finally arrived in England in August of 1941, where he did his initial and supplementary navigation training, and then was posted to Canada in October 1942. After training in New Brunswick and Alberta, he won his wings in Moose Jaw, Sask., doing so well that he was made an instructor.

Operational flying followed when he was stationed in Comox, B.C., flying twin-engined Douglas Dakotas on long-range submarine patrol missions. He was still flying Dakotas when he was posted to 96 Squadron in Burma, where he flew supply drops in support of the 14th Army. Miles’ roughest flying experience of the era came in September 1945, barely a month after the war had ended. He was forced to crash land near Rangoon after both engines of his plane cut out while returning with a full load of former Commonwealth POWs from Saigon. Nobody was seriously hurt in the pancake landing, he said, but he was surprised when he was commended for his handling of the situation. “I thought I was ‘for it,’ for smashing up one of His Majesty’s planes,” he said.

Essentially inconvenient

ospital emergency departments are essential, no doubt. Ditto police, fire, rescue and ambulance services. Anything concerned with health and safety, including access to food and clean water could be understood to be essential to our society. Certain aspects of the public-transportation system might also be considered essential for those otherwise incapable for getting themselves from point A to point B, or perhaps even waste removal, should the issue become a health issue. But can any part of the education process be deemed an essential service, as the Labour Relations Board determined last week in the provincial government’s so-far failed negotiations with teachers? Make no mistake, having schools behind picket lines is a huge and undeniable inconvenience – for students, for parents, for teachers and, it’s assumed, for government. So is any delay in receiving marks and transcripts, particularly when deadlines loom for entry to the next level of education. Given the inherent imperfections of the system, and the possibility of human error, any impediment to education is likely to have multiple ramifications. All this is granted. But as essential as education may be in the long term, in the short term it’s doubtful the temporary absence of any part of the educational chain poses a threat to life and limb. And there’s a certain irony, surely, to a government terming provincial exams for Grades 10-12 and finals marks for grads as an essential service, when the crux of the argument for striking workers is that for years education has been treated as anything but. If the service is essential, one might argue it is essential to maintain it and pay for it. The provincial government says the current demands of teachers for what is argued to be parity of pay in other areas is unreasonable and unsupportable in this economy. The teachers, on the other hand, say it is a bill past due – just as concerns about class size and composition could, and probably should, have been addressed in more economically certain times. Historians have often observed that peacetime problems of shortage of food and lodging and social services are always magically eradicated once war is declared. While the conservative mantra of “one can’t spend what one doesn’t have” sounds reasonable, it’s harder to maintain when, at a moment’s notice, the goal posts can be moved by government fiat.

Here’s the funny part, if you don’t live in Ontario. Wynne tabled her spendingspree, deficit-be-damned budget in an effort to convince the NDP to keep propping up the Liberal minority government and avoid an election. Instead, she won a majority and now has to implement her pie-in-the-sky promises. Ontario is bracing for a downgrade in its credit rating based on the election result, and is about to go into province-wide bargaining with public service unions who want their share from the Liberal money tree. Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak ran on a plan that sounded similar to the one presented by Christy Clark in 2013: hold the line on spending, balance the budget, reduce the size of government, stimulate job creation. Hudak was rejected for a second time, and resigned the leadership on election night. B.C. voters now have three years to see how the Ontario version of Liberal government plays out, compared to the BC Liberal version. For us, much depends on resource development, including forest products, natural gas and other trade with Asia. If all goes well here, B.C. can continue to send transfer payments to the fantasyland of Ontario. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Hilarity ensued at playhouse Editor: Re: Supporting cast stands out, June 12 theatre review. What a disappointing review by Alex Browne of Barefoot in the Park.

And he’s wrong, wrong, wrong about it, too! Friends and I went to see it and we agreed it was one of the most hilarious plays we’ve seen in a long, long time. We laughed till we cried and every single actor/ actress in it was magnificent. What the heck is he talking about ‘miscasting’, ‘no chemistry’ and ‘unflattering wardrobes’? The casting was excellent and so

was everything else! We could hardly believe we were in White Rock. Rebecca Strom was lovely, Ryan Mooney was quirky and an excellent counterpart and Cindy Peterson was a complete joy to behold. And so were the other players. It never stopped being hilarious, and we could not stop giggling throughout the play. I think Mr. Browne should clean

his glasses or try to retrieve his sense of humour and advise everybody to watch this unbelievably funny play, instead of acting like some fuddyduddy who chose to criticize what just was not important. We should all be proud to have this in the White Rock theatre. Our night was one to remember. Go see it and laugh away. Madelon Keij, Surrey

Offence taken Editor: Re: City livid over waterfront barricade, June 12. I am appalled at what I saw today with the installation of a fence at the West Beach boat launch in White Rock. I use that access point frequently to access the beach with my paddle board, as do many friends and acquaintances with their boards and kayaks. The beach is what makes White Rock, White Rock! When that is stripped away, what is left in this city? The beach is why people move to White Rock, it is our playground. You can blame whomever you want for the blocking off of the access point along West Beach: BNSF, Transport Canada, etc., but I mostly blame the City of White Rock itself for not standing up stronger for its citizens and visitors. They must remember that they are supposed to be representing us. Are there no other solutions than barring-off the entire beach? Could we not have a city employee direct traffic across the tracks in different locations, as they do at crosswalks adjacent to schools until they install a controlled crossing? I hope the people of White Rock and our beloved visitors rise up against what is occurring, and act. The garbage strike didn’t cause too much uproar, as most people just threw their garbage in Surrey dumpsters or had a private company pick up their garbage. If this were Europe, everyone would have thrown their garbage on the city hall steps until the problem was resolved. The City of White Rock understands that people won’t normally act out, so this time with the West Beach access closures, let’s surprise them and demand for them to resolve this issue. Claude Cartelier, White Rock Q Are you kidding? I feel awful for the family and all those who know the person hit by the train, but one accident should not ruin the lifestyle of so many. We cannot protect people from common sense. Paddle-boarders, kayakers and crabbers who live on West Beach no longer have beach access. It is a full kilometre to the pier from Bay Street. And there is no beach access to launch anything there anyway. This is the most ridiculous piece of legislation since the shoe bomber changed air travel. David McNamara, White Rock

Readers react to the closure of the West Beach boat launch, though Transport Canada says it gave no such order. Q I read with dismay the news regarding the Transport Canadaordered closures on White Rock beach, apparently in response to incidents involving pedestrians and trains. Further, I am appalled to discover that overnight a barrier has been erected at the boat launch at West Beach – this with no warning or discussion. The city media release suggests the priority for this action is the health and well-being of residents and visitors. It seems to me that restricting beach access accomplishes exactly the opposite. I am a frequent user of what is White Rock’s most precious resource and I am deeply troubled by these developments. Chalmers W. Caldwell, White Rock Q We have 400 active members who represent 80 per cent of Crescent Beach households. I speak for all, by extending gratitude for White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin’s conviction and courage in the face of rail safety and the lack of planning and respect. The White Rock beach, restaurants and shops are an iconic and unique Canadian fixture. White Rock serves as a recreational anchor for a million land-locked British Columbians whose lives are enriched by their sea-side neighbour. If the businesses of White Rock suffer, the cultural relevance, quality of life and real estate value will be reduced for the entire Fraser Valley. We respect that he is not only fighting for the best interests of his local constituents, but for all taxpayers who don’t want to drive their families to Vancouver just to enjoy a day at the beach. Erik Seiz, Crescent Beach Property Owners Association

Q The fencing by the BNSF can best be tied to Mayor Wayne Baldwin and simply poor representation in the political sandbox. He has forced the BNSF to act accordingly to protect the general public as mandated by Transport Canada. His undue criticism of a bright representative of Transport Canada was uncalled for and derogatory in nature. Just to not agree on a point is no reason to lower yourself to the comments Baldwin has made. While I do not have a crystal ball, I somewhat predicted the cage fencing of the waterfront access due to the mayor’s untempered comments in the PAN last fall (Time to work as a team, Oct. 3 letters). The damage Baldwin’s comments has done is only starting to rear its ugly head. Taxpayers will be impacted by way of substantially reduced parking revenue from tourism, and our fragile small business community will no doubt feel the impact as well. Baldwin should cease any further seemingly personal attacks on higher levels of government officials involving the BNSF property. It is truly the mandate of others, and in an election year he should focus on reelection issues that will not cause harm to our tax base and small business community. Ron Eves, White Rock Q Congratulations to White Rock mayor and council for successfully destroying our beautiful little city. By caving in to the few whiners and complainers about safety-rail issues, they badgered the railway who then had to contact Transport Canada. Voila; no boat launch area, rails/fences all along the tracks with

very few access areas to the beach, which is quite long, by the way. I believe visitors to White Rock will be no more. They will find other places to go. Not to mention how horrific this is for the people of White Rock and South Surrey who reside here and enjoy the beach. So much for your pay parking revenue and as usual, the merchants along Marine are screwed further. This is a disaster that could have been avoided by using a little common sense. I’m almost in tears writing this. It makes me so mad and sad. I was raised in White Rock and am now 66 years old. We were taught train safety at an early age. “Stop, look and listen”. It seems to have worked quite well for us since no White Rocker from my generation was ever hit by a train that I know of. A few people have ruined it for everyone, including themselves. I bet they didn’t see this coming. The railway probably got fed up listening over the years and putting up more signs and said “you want safety, we’ll give you safety!” There’s so much more to say. I’m sure others will be writing in their feelings, too. Laurie Mark & Don Barnett, Surrey Q To put a six-foot fence along the beach in White Rock would turn a lovely seaside resort into an ugly prison-like environment, copying all the walls put up by various nations, restricting the freedom of its citizens. In our case, the individuals should be responsible for their safety. There will always be some people devoid of reasonable behaviour, probably trying to climb over the fence. Why should all of us pay for these individuals, not to mention the dollar expense? Helga Anderson, White Rock

University to expand to Surrey City Centre in 2016

Kwantlen to add campus

Dental Care with a gentle touch Family & Cosmetic Dentistry

Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) is ready to grow – and it’s set to do just that in the heart of Surrey’s downtown core. The university – which already has two campuses in Surrey, in Newton and Cloverdale, as well as two others in Richmond and Langley – is planning to expand further into a three-storey site at 3 Civic Plaza in Surrey City Centre (kpu.ca/civicplaza). It is expected to open in 2016. The announcement was made Wednesday afternoon at nearby Surrey City Hall. Dr. Alan Davis, president and vice-chancellor of Kwantlen, said the university was first established to provide “relevant” post-secondary education to the South Fraser region, and continues to do so. “For the past 32 years, we have grown to serve more than a quarter of a million students. But KPU’s vision is to be bigger, bolder and better,” said Davis. “KPU Civic Plaza is just that.” Kwantlen’s plans for the so-called KPU Civic Plaza include delivering professional studies, upper-level business courses and post-graduate credentials. 3 Civic Plaza is a $150-million, 52-storey project in North Surrey, near 103 Avenue and

Fast-acting groomer saves dog Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

A South Surrey family is crediting the quick thinking of their pet groomer for saving the life of their dog, Shadow. Randy Cunningham received a call last month from Chantel Belcourt after the shih tzu-bichon was dropped off at Petland in Grandview Corners, informing him there had been an issue. “She said someone needed to come and be with Shadow so they could finish the hair cut and that it was for health reasons,” Cunningham recalled. “She said his back legs dropped and his tongue turned blue and he essentially died.” Belcourt had quickly sprung into action when the dog was in distress, performing CPR and mouth-to-mouth until he was resuscitated.

Shadow was saved by a dog groomer. “I just looked over at his little face and he wasn’t breathing and he was lying there lifeless on the table,” Belcourt said. “I pumped on his little chest a few times, and gave him mouth-to-mouth then I started to slowly see some life come back into his eyes.”

While neither Belcourt or Cunningham know what exactly happened with Shadow, Belcourt believes it may be tied to depression over the loss of the Cunningham’s cat a week earlier. “The owners told me Shadow’s best friend was hit by a car and died the week before and he was depressed and moping around, and he was panting at home, and that wasn’t normal for him either,” she said, noting it’s important to inform of any strange behaviour or medical conditions prior to dropping off a dog to a groomer. Fortunately, the 12-year-old dog was back up and barking the following day. “He’s a big part of our family,” Cunningham said. “He’s obviously very old, but we’re never ready (to lose him).”

hen Gerry Lenoski arrived in Ukraine last month, it was a stark contrast to his last visit 10 years earlier. “There was so much commotion going on in parts of Ukraine and some unfortunate stirrings of violence and Russia-related issues,” the former South Surrey resident said. “Last time, it was quite a different case.” The longtime civic and public affairs activist – who is also the vice-president of South Surrey-based veterans advocacy group EQUITAS – travelled to the European country on both occasions as an elections observer with the Organization for Security Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

Our role is taking the word ‘observer’ and being literal about it. “If we saw anything that was out of sync with what should be the case in our view, our only recourse was to keep a record of it and to report it.” But as Lenoski travelled to each oblast, the vast majority of what he observed was Ukrainians coming out in large numbers to cast their ballots – much more than those in his home country. “Their turnout there seemed to be about 60 per cent plus.

what they were doing,” Lenoski recalled. “It reminds me of how precious democracy is and how people should participate more (in Canada).” While he admitted there may be some who would scratch their heads at why Lenoski would travel the distance to a country that is in the midst of a burgeoning civil war, the third-generation Canadian said that aside from his family roots in Europe – including Ukraine – the need to contribute towards democracy in a too-often troubled world is too important to pass up. “It’s a small world. A powder keg can result from the smallest enmities over borders or over languages. We have to be alert and work towards alleviating those issues. I’m glad to be part of an adventure that speaks to the importance of democracy,” he said.

Over the past nine years, Grade 12 students, staff, and alumni from Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary have donated more than 1,000 units of blood to Canadian Blood Services. The blood donor program at the school had humble beginnings in 2006, according to Michele Stea, the teacher who recruited the student donors. During the first year that the program ran, a total of 25 units of blood were collected. In each of the following years, the number of donations increased, reaching a peak of 193 units in 2012. Donations have fluctuated over the past four years, but have consistently been above 100 units per year. “I was thrilled when I realized that, at some point in May of this year, one of our students made the 1,000th donation”, Stea said. “I think this is a great accomplishment, and is a reflection of the calibre of students we have at Lord Tweedsmuir.” Stea notes that giving blood requires some courage (especially the first time) and a sacrifice of time (about one-and-a-half hours). During the nine years she has been running the program, Stea said there have been more than 400 students who have become regular blood donors.

Testosterone levels begin to diminish in men around age 30. In fact, by the time men are 60 years old, they typically produce 60% less testosterone than they did at age 20 (a man’s sexual peak). Many men over the age of 35 may already be feeling the effects of lower testosterone including:

Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary students and staff have donated 1,000 units of blood over the last nine years. In addition, many Lord Tweedsmuir alumni have continued to donate blood, which is the true legacy of the program. “Shortly after I started the donor program, Canadian Blood Services initiated a program called ‘The Young Blood Challenge,’” said. Stea. “The main goal of the program is to encourage young people to become blood donors.” The Young Blood Challenge is a

competition among high schools across Canada, with prizes given to the top donating schools in each region. Lord Tweedsmuir has twice been the recipient of prize money, which was awarded as scholarships to graduating students who participated in the program. Canadian Blood Services’ Surrey clinic is located at 15285 101 Ave. To make an appointment to give blood, call 1-888-2-DONATE.

Racetracks aid horse owner Dan Ferguson Times Reporter

Racetracks in B.C. and Ontario are raising money for the owner and trainers of 17 horses that died in a June 1 fire that destroyed a stable near onÂ 224 Street and 40 Avenue in Langley.Â The campaign, which finishes tonight (Tuesday) with a fundraiser at Fraser Downs in Cloverdale, was announced June 6 by the Great Canadian Gaming Corporation, the company that operates the racetracks. The standardbred horses, trained by Bill Davis and owned by Rick Mowles of JJJ Stables,

competed in harness racing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the worst thing that can happen when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the racing industry,â&#x20AC;? said Chuck Keeling, Great Canadianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vice-president in charge of stakeholders relations and responsible gaming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a horrific loss for everyone.â&#x20AC;? The horses and equipment lost in the fire were not insured. Four Great Canadian Gaming racetrack facilities are involved: Fraser Downs, Hastings Racecourse in Vancouver and the Ontario-based Georgian Downs and Flamboro Downs tracks. All are collecting cash donations today.

Fraser Downs and Harness Racing B.C. co-host tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraiser at Fraser Downs at 6:30 p.m. with a wine and cheese reception in the Homestretch at Fraser Downs.Â The evening includes a silent auction. For more information, contact Fraser Downs Racetrack & Casino at 604-576-9141.Â Â Â Â Â The fire that killed 16 standardbred horses and one pony is believed to be one of the worst involving livestock ever recorded in Langley Township. Investigators suspect the fire may have started in the electrical wiring ofÂ the wood-frame building.

hen it comes to volleyball, Kyle Donen boasts a uniquely broad skill set, with experience as a player, a coach and even a play-by-play broadcaster. Now he’ll bring all those experiences to bear in his newest gig – head coach of the University of the Fraser Valley men’s volleyball squad. “It’s very exciting – it’s a dream come true to have an opportunity to work at this level,” said Donen, a Semiahmoo Secondary grad who captained the Totems senior boys team to a provincial title in 2005. “I appreciate being able to coach at any level and helping kids out. But taking it one step further and being able to do it at the college/university level is something that I’ve always wanted to do.” Kyle Donen The 26-year-old White Rock volleyball coach native takes over for Greg Russell, who had helmed the Cascades since 2005 but whose contract was not renewed by UFV. The Cascades men’s volleyballers won PacWest medals four straight years between 2007 and 2010, with a fourth-place finish at nationals in 2009, but didn’t approach those heights in recent years and missed the playoffs last season with an 8-16 record. Donen has a good feel for his personnel already – he served as an assistant coach with the UFV men over the second half of last season. “Some of the key pieces are returning, and it’s a strong core,” he said. “With the group last year, I think they beat every team at least once time. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to string together multiple wins. “But I don’t see any reason we can’t be successful. I’m hoping to try and change the mindset of some of these guys, and make them more driven to want to have that success and earn that berth to go to nationals this year.” After graduating from Semi, Donen played university volleyball for the Thompson Rivers WolfPack from 2006 to 2010, attending three national championships during that time. Donen has previously coached with White Rock’s Seaside Volleyball Club and at both Semiahmoo and Elgin Park secondaries. Donen has “many of the qualities that we were looking for in a coach,” UFV athletic director Rocky Olfert said. “I believe he will be key in leading this program forward… He is very professional, well-prepared, and passionate about developing student athletes at UFV.” – Black Press

Boardwalk Optometry The first line of defense is always a good pair of proper fitting sunglasses. And, as our mother’s told us, we should all wear a wide brimmed hat! While sunglasses are important they may not always be enough. Depending on the frame size and fit, as much as 45% of UV can still reach the eyes. Contact lenses can also help to protect your eyes. The Acuvue Brand of lenses blocks approximately 82% of UVA and 97% of UVB. They provide “always on” protection against transmission of harmful UV radiation in to the eye. This is especially important for children because young eyes are not fully developed and have less natural protection. But remember, UV damage is cumulative and mostly irreversible so it is never too late to start protecting your eyes. Call Boardwalk Optometry today to see which products would be best for you. You can never start too early, and it’s never too late to start protecting your eyes.
