Ryan Mooney leaves theatre group after 2009 sex-assault sentence brought to light

Players Club director resigns Alex Browne Staff Reporter

The artistic director of the White Rock Players Club has submitted his resignation to the board, following media reports published Thursday that he has a record as a sex offender.

Ryan Mooney, 32 – who has directed numerous shows for the club and his own Vancouver-based theatre company, Fighting Chance Productions – received a one-year conditional sentence in 2009 after pleading guilty to sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl, in an incident that took place in another community in 2006.

White Rock Players Club president Angie Koropatnisky said Friday the board is to have a special meeting Aug. 4 to discuss its position on the issue and plans for its upcoming season, in which Mooney has been deeply involved.

That includes discussion of the upcoming Players Club/Fighting Chance co-production, The Complete Works of Shakespeare, Abridged, in which Mooney is a member of the threeman cast.

Koropatnisky, who was elected a year ago, said she was not aware of Mooney’s sentence,

If the teacher strike isn’t settled

by September, the B.C. government will use the payroll savings to pay $40 per missed school day to parents of children under 13, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said Thursday.

Negotiations with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation remain stalled after a two-week strike in June that cost the province’s 40,000 public school teachers $12 million a day in salary.

That’s the estimated cost of the support program aimed to go to tutoring or daycare for younger children if they can’t go to school.

De Jong said older children don’t require as much supervision, and have online options to maintain their studies.

The amount was cho- Mike de Jong sen to compen- Finance minister sate families of 300,000 children up to age 12 at no net cost to the provincial budget.

De Jong said he hopes the program won’t be needed.

BCTF president Jim Iker termed the move “a blatant and divisive attempt to prolong disruption in B.C. schools.”

Education Minister Peter Fassbender and school district negotiators say the BCTF’s contract demands are far out of step with other unions.

De Jong reiterated that there is no plan to recall the legislature before the fall session. He said the history of imposed settlements on the BCTF may have contributed to the chronic failure to negotiate agreements with the union.

NDP education critic Rob Fleming called the announcement a “trial balloon” that suggests the dispute may be months from resolution.

‘Young people not targeted’ i from page 1 The court heard that Mooney, then 24, had developed a friendship with a Grade 11 student that included exchanging emails.

In the incident to which he pleaded guilty, he had taken the girl into the high school’s “green room,” placed his hands on her chest and suggested she perform oral sex on him.

According to prosecutor Gail Barnes, the girl resisted Mooney’s advances and left.

Barnes, noting that Mooney had no prior criminal record, said the Crown did not want to impose a curfew that would prevent him from continuing to work on theatrical productions or “deprive him of his livelihood.”

The judge agreed to the prosecutor’s suggestion of imposing a condition that he not have contact with young people under 18, and Mooney’s lawyer said he would not be working with youth theatre again.

Farrell said that while she does not condone the offense, Mooney had been abiding by those conditions in his three years with the club.

“Ryan made sure he was not involved in productions with young people and excluded himself from being in those kinds

of situations,” she said.

As a largely volunteer organization, the club does not have the resources to ask for criminal-background checks, Farrell said.

It has also not pursued children’s theatre options, she said, because “there would have to be tons of stuff in place to do that properly.”

As someone who has grown up with the club – this year will mark the 40th anniversary of her first appearance in a pantomime – Farrell said she knows the effectiveness of a network of “backstage mothers” watching out for young people involved in the club’s shows.

She said the most recent call for volunteers was not age-specific.

“We weren’t targeting young people,” she said.

Koropatnisky said Mooney was expected to be at the Aug. 4 meeting and she said she feels it is important for him to have the opportunity to speak directly to the board.

“He has never done anything to make me question his behaviour,” she said.

“As a community organization, it’s important that we look at the whole picture before making decisions and making judgments,” she said.

Second-quarter statistics released by RCMP

Newton leads city in violent crime: report Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Newton once again has the dubious title of leading in Surrey’s violent crime, according to statistics released by the RCMP. The second-quarter statistics – released Thursday – are a round-up of crimes from April to June 2014 in the city. The report also includes a summary of what’s going on in Surrey so far this year.

It comes on the heels of a year in 2013 that painted Newton as a particularly dangerous policing district.

Last year, you were more likely to be killed in Newton than any other community. It was also the worst for sex assaults (106 last year)

and kidnappings and abductions (15).

In the first six months of this year, the embattled community is home to 60 sex assaults – double that reported in any other community. Both Whalley and Guildford/ Port Kells came in at 30 from Jan. 1 to June 30.

Newton topped violent crime overall as well (978 offences), edging out Whalley which registered 937.

After last year’s record number of murders, they were down across the city, including Newton, which recorded only one, compared to six last year.

As was the case last year, Whalley was close behind Newton in most violent-crime categories, and surpassed it in robberies and

assaults.

In fact, on a per-capita basis, Whalley outstrips Newton in many areas, because it’s much smaller.

In violent crime, Whalley registered 11.92 incidents per 1,000 people, where Newton came in at 7.19. The two were about double anywhere else in the city, with Guildford/ Fleetwood at 4.3 incidents per 1,000, Cloverdale/Port Kells at 3.11 and South Surrey at 2.14.

Despite Whalley’s much larger population, Newton still recorded more sex assaults than its northern neighbour by 15 per cent.

Newton experienced far more business break-and-enters, theft, fraud, identity theft,

theft from vehicles and identity theft than any other community in the first half of this year as well.

Prostitution occurred in Newton at double the rate of Whalley, six times that of Guildford/Fleetwood and 24 times that of South Surrey.

For the first time, the quarterly statistics include a 2½-page narrative explaining the variances that might be expected in the figures.

“The data represents ‘snapshots’ in time and is subject to change for a variety of reasons, including late reporting and reclassification due to circumstance,” the report of “qualifiers” states.

plex contrary to the neighbourhood zoning.

The city investigated and the property owner was ultimately given until May 29 of this year to remove the additional suites.

When those tenants left, Spreitzer said, household garbage was left behind.

A large quantity of insulation was also removed from the house, which has been placed in containers under WorkSafe BC supervision – although birds pecked through garbage bags covering the asbestos and dust was blowing about until WorkSafe officials duct-taped tarps onto them late last week.

Among other concerns Spreitzer and Jorgensen have about the property are broken glass, doors left open and inadequate fencing, plus bags of asbestos that are still unsealed.

They said they worry about children playing on the site, the potential people to break into the house and general health hazards in an area that boasts well-kept, high-priced homes.

“If I kept my lawn like this, the city would be all over me,” Jorgensen said.

Hospitals in Surrey, Abbotsford and New Westminster that are Fraser Health’s designated centres to treat stroke victims have so far failed to provide optimum care and redirect too many patients to Vancouver.

That’s one of the findings of a health ministry-ordered review of the health authority released last month.

Many ischemic strokes can be effectively treated with clot-busting thrombolytic drugs, but time is of the essence – patients need to get to to stroke specialists within three to four hours for the treatment to be useful.

Too often, the review said, those patients are diverted to Vancouver General Hospital instead of designated Fraser hospitals.

The report said Royal Columbian Hospital has the expertise to treat those stroke victims but “capacity issues in the RCH emergency department make this site reluctant to accept more patient volume.”

Surrey Memorial Hospital’s ER and neurology departments haven’t embraced the use of thrombolytic drugs for stroke cases, it said.

“This is poor patient care as it results in time delays to a treatment that is timesensitive,” the review said.

Fraser Health last year sent 135 stroke victims to VGH, some of them from as far away as Langley and Abbotsford.

Dr. Dave Williams, Fraser Health’s program medical director for medicine, said stroke services in the region are rapidly improving.

“We expect that number will be significantly reduced for this fiscal year because we have been able to build capacity at some of our sites,” he said.

Williams said he met ER doctors at Royal Columbian and resolved their concerns that the already congested hospital may be overwhelmed.

A new stroke unit has opened at Surrey Memorial’s new critical-care tower, he added. Although it is still short of neurologists, more are being actively recruited.

Williams stressed anyone having stroke symptoms – such as facial droop, drift of the arm or speech problems – should call 911 immediately, even if symptoms stop.

Mayors critical of SkyTrain emergency preparedness

TransLink’s board ‘negligent’ Jeff Nagel Black Press

File photo

SkyTrain failures last month fall at the feet of TransLink’s board of directors, says Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew. system for hours and eroded public confidence.

Gary McNeil, the retired former CEO of Toronto’s GO Transit commuter rail and bus system, was named Monday to thoroughly review TransLink’s response plan for major service disruptions and identify improvements to prevent a recurrence or speed up system recovery.

“We need to take this seriously and determine what we need to learn from it and make the changes to get better,” TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis said.

Dozens of SkyTrain passengers forced open the doors and walked unescorted on elevated

guideways during the fivehour shutdown July 21.

It was caused by a blown power breaker during upgrade work, while the July 17 incident was triggered by a computer control-system failure.

The July 21 electrical failure also knocked out SkyTrain’s public announcement system, creating more fear among passengers who were then quicker to force train doors.

Jarvis said keeping passengers safe during future disruptions will be a key consideration in the review.

He said TransLink has already “learned important lessons” and taken corrective steps

TransLink’s appointed board of directors must take ultimate responsibility for senior managers’ failure to anticipate and prevent this month’s SkyTrain shutdowns.

That’s the position of Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew, who called the unelected board “negligent” in failing to drill down and uncover the system’s vulnerabilities to emergency conditions.

“It really begs the question, what has the Tr a n s L i n k board been Ralph Drew doing over Belcarra Mayor the years in terms of ensuring those priority issues were properly addressed?”

Drew said at a mayors’ council meeting Tuesday.

“They just took it on blind faith. The buck stops with the board.”

An independent expert review has been ordered into the two shutdowns.

The July 17 and 21 events paralyzed the rapid-transit

including “plans for mobilizing employees more quickly (and) better announcements on SkyTrain.”

McNeil began his review Tuesday and will file his final report at the end of October.

Besides serving as a top Toronto transit executive, McNeil was involved in the planning, design, construction and startup of the original SkyTrain Expo Line from 1982-86.

Options to be considered through McNeil’s review include changes to existing processes and investment in more backup systems.

TransLink officials previously suggested it would not be justifiable to spend, perhaps, $30 million on a backup SkyTrain control system that would be rarely used.

The address system is being put on a separate breaker that won’t be vulnerable in another power failure that halts trains.

TransLink says it will also mobilize more employees faster should there be another major disruption or emergency.

It has also revised its online Trip Planner so it’s easier for SkyTrain passengers to figure out how to take an alternate bus route.

Marine Drive project impacting neighbours’ health and safety, White Rock council hears

‘I can’t seem to get a straight answer from the city’ Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Victoria Avenue resident David Bradshaw is still fuming that he can’t get any consistent answers from White Rock officials on a Marine Drive development being built in front of his home.

Bradshaw, who voiced his concerns on the Waves on Marine project to Peace Arch News earlier this month, appeared as a delegation to council’s July 28 meeting to express his frustration.

He said the project is impacting the health and safety of neighbours directly behind it, due to day-long jackhammering at the site and the impact of silica dust on air quality.

Response from city officials has been inconsistent at best, he said.

“I can’t seem to get a straight answer from the city,” he said. “Or I get confusing answers, or different answers from different departments.”

Bradshaw said the silica dust – from a recent, but poorly-constructed, retaining wall that has since been torn down – has been sucked directly into homes behind the project through their air intakes.

“The company did nothing to abate this,” Bradshaw said. “Silica dust is a carcinogen, according to the WCB. The city is studying it, but we’re breathing it in.”

Bradshaw said while he assumed that the city had some oversight of the construction process, he has since received the impression that city engineers are content to accept the judgment of project engineers that all is proceeding as it should.

“Does everything fall on the homeowner?” he asked. “Because that’s what I’m getting from the engineers.”

Mayor Wayne Baldwin told Bradshaw the city would act to help resolve the situation.

“I understand your frustration,” he said.

“We’d like to help you with this.”

Meanwhile, city officials are doublechecking measurements on the development, following ongoing concern it is also being built higher than it should be.

City documents show the approved height of the project jumped by more than two feet

in the weeks between a public hearing in September 2012 and council approval of the bylaw amendment the following month.

“How can you have a discrepancy of that?

That’s huge and it’s nonsense,” Coun. Al Campbell told PAN. “All I’m saying is, we will and we are… rechecking the survey, rechecking the height. This is forever for these people and… they have a right to ask the question.”

The previous week, city manager Dan Bottrill assured that the developer – Tatla Developments – had promised to meet the lower measurement.

The city’s director of development services, Karen Cooper, agreed.

The original files and applications are being reviewed, and the finished project will be checked for compliance, she said Monday.

Campbell said citizens affected by any project deserve a prompt response. He said height of the Marine Drive project was a focus throughout consultation, and he questioned why commercial developers are given leeway.

Builders of singlefamily homes are not afforded the same slack, he said.

“It always seems to me a commercial development seems to get somehow a little higher than it’s meant to be,” the councillor said. “It’s usually, ‘oh we converted from imperial to metric.’”

Campbell conceded the developers in this case might be correct.

“But when somebody phones in and says, ‘look, I had an understanding that this building was going to be just up to my sitting-room window and it’s not, it’s at the top’… you have to pay attention to that,” he said.

Campbell said “grey areas” in some of the city’s rules have landed the municipality in hot water before, and he commended Cooper for “cleaning up… wording that got us into trouble in the past.”

Bradshaw believes many of the issues could have been avoided if the city had brought all of the stakeholders together when the project was first proposed.

As well, he wishes such issues as noise and air pollution were woven

into the city’s buildingpermit process.

Bradshaw agreed steps being taken now

– including a ‘good neighbour policy’ being drafted – are a positive.

“But… it doesn’t do us

any good. It just seems to get worse and worse,” he said.

Developer Kulpdeep

Tatla previously told PAN all city guidelines were being followed, and that Bradshaw’s

concerns were those of a disgruntled homeowner.

The BC Liberal government is largely to blame because it mandated the ill-advised referendum, ordered mayors to come up with a prioritized plan – which they did – and now is balking at contributing as much to it as the mayors want.

The province previously pledged to pay one third of the costs of new transit lines and a Pattullo Bridge replacement, and said it would urge Ottawa to match.

Perhaps the government never thought mayors would agree on a plan but now it’s suffering sticker shock. Granted, there’s a limit to what Victoria can pony up for Metro without depriving other regions, and its offer came with affordability fine print. But clarity is required.

The province must spell out the total it would contribute to Metro transit expansion over 10 years – not 12 or 15 or 20, as it suggests.

Second, the mayors must pick how they want the rest of us to pay our share. They should first abandon the existing carbon tax as a source of revenue as there’s no way the province will part with it. And creating a new Metro-only carbon tax is little different from raising the 17-centsa-litre gas tax, which TransLink admits is a poor mechanism that brings in less as cars get more efficient, drivers refuel out of region – even out of country – and residents drive less as transit improves and town centres densify.

Instead, the mayors need to pick either some form of annual vehicle levy or a regional sales tax, or both, with that revenue to be replaced by road pricing over the long term.

Finally, the mayors need to torpedo the notion that voters can cast a No vote to punish TransLink and not pay any more for transit. They should declare that a defeated referendum on the new source will mean the same money will come from higher TransLink property taxes, which mayors have unfettered authority to raise. The referendum would then become an either/or debate over how we, as a region, will fund an improved transit system that is critical to our collective future.

It would not be a none-of-the-above option for the no-new-taxes crowd or a spanking opportunity for those furious at the flaws of TransLink.

more reforms to come.

New regulations are on the way for the Agricultural Land Reserve.

As it stands, farms are allowed to have a winery or cidery, but not a brewery or distillery. Expect that to be changed as B.C. and other provinces strive to develop their craft beer and spirits industry, trying to emulate the tourism benefits that have come from an expanding wine industry.

One area where the B.C. government has screwed up is its minimum pricing rules, introduced along with the overdue move to allow “happy hour” discounts in pubs.

The minimum price of 25 cents an ounce for beer, 60 cents an ounce for wine and $3 an ounce for hard liquor was an effort to balance businessfriendly policy with legitimate public health concern about over-consumption.

But the minimum beer price prompted protests from a few watering holes that had been selling pints or jugs of beer for slightly less.

Some media made a big deal of this, and the government over reacted to this tempest in a beer stein with an illthought-out cut in the minimum price to 20 cents an ounce – for beer in jugs only.

The pub industry was not impressed with this bit of knee-jerk populism.

Encouraging beer jug sales makes it difficult to see if someone at a table of revelers is being over-served, drinking most of the jug himself.

Beach history more extensive Editor: A recent article concluded that the history of Crescent Beach went back to 1909, the start of the development of Crescent Beach as a resort community. In fact, Crescent Beach has been a village for four or five thousand years and as such is as old as the pyramids or Stonehenge.

The refuse, largely clam shells, charcoal and fire-cracked rocks resulting from steaming food, has piled up three to five metres of deposits. These deposits compose Crescent Beach. Without these archeological deposits, there would only be a sandspit barely above sea level.

Several areas within the Crescent Beach community were apparently organized cemeteries. In the course of installing sewers and water mains and a few larger excavations, over 700 individuals have been recovered. One suspects that there are in fact thousands more.

As a result of the sensitivity of the site, all construction is required to proceed under permit from the archeology branch of the Ministry of Forests and Sustainable Resource Development after consultation with local First Nations. These are their relatives, particularly the Semiahmoo First Nation, who have the strongest connection to the site.

The evidence of the archeology site is visible through much of the community garden. If you wonder, look for fragments of shell in the plot. The suggestion that people could build within it various structures, hot tubs, etc., or that wineries could be established in the Dunsmuir Farm, do not respect the underlying nature of the farm.

Don Welsh, manager, archeology services, Semiahmoo First Nation

and be administered by a board of trustees: two from the hydrocarbon industries, two from environmental interests and chaired by a retired federal judge chosen by the other four members.

Another condition; no legal appeals allowed. Canadians should not tolerate or expect legal battles on the scale of the Exxon Valdez or BP Caribbean blowout, which have reduced awards to aggrieved parties who were entitled to just compensation for losses – future and incurred.

Just one more condition; if the payments from the “insurance fund” should reduce the fund balance below $75 billion, then the “contributors” would need to assess the risk balance between them, and top the fund up to $100 billion.

This procedure would hold taxpayers harmless in cases of catastrophic “hydrocarbon events” or criminal negligence, and cut appeal attorneys out of the action.

The parties who cause the damages should pay for them, and without delay.

Fair solution within reach Editor: Re: Canine debate dogs walkers, July 29 letters.

We recently had guests from Phoenix and took them for a walk along the waterfront, from East Beach to the pier. They were impressed.

I came to realize that it was the first time in over a year that I had walked along the boardwalk, although I live a handful of blocks from it. In fact, my dog and I run along the waterfront, but are forced to run along Marine Drive due to the ban on dogs on the boardwalk.

Why was it the first time in over a year? Because any dog owner will tell you that you wouldn’t dream of going for a walk while leaving an eager member of the family at home. The current bylaw is an incredibly poor one – lacking in creativity or consideration for

all residents of White Rock. It is so one-sided that it begs to be disobeyed.

S. Ozero proposes to open the beach area to dogs October to May, as they do in Crescent Beach. While I appreciate the sentiment and is a step in the right direction, it is not an acceptable final solution.

Relegating dogs owners to the rainy months to enjoy the boardwalk that their tax dollars pay for is not nearly enough.

What I propose is to open the beach area and boardwalk from the pier eastwards to, and including East Beach, to dogs year-round and to leave the pier and the beach area and boardwalk west of the pier as-is – no dogs allowed. This way, all citizens of White Rock and its visitors can have the opportunity to enjoy the waterfront.

For those that are just so opposed to sharing space with dog owners and their pets, they have plenty of space to roam, or perhaps they can go to Crescent Beach in the summer, tongue firmly in cheek.

“Doggie-doo” stations placed along the way will keep the dog waste to a minimum. Denying responsible dog owners access to the waterfront because a handful of owners are not responsible, would be akin to banning cars from Marine Drive because some people speed. City council and staff, find a solution that is fair and equitable to all sides, because the current state is untenable. I believe my proposal is just that solution. The days of a couple of hundred people getting together and getting something banned must end in White Rock.

Planning for a disaster Editor: After reviewing the litany of recent “accidents” and disasters associated with the extraction, refining and transportation of the coal, natural gas and oil, I consider the future events quite probable.

Assuming that the current federal government rams through the proposed hydrocarbon plan for Canada, we can expect water, air, and land to be polluted with known hazards to humans and wildlife.

Canada needs a “no-fault” insurance fund to ensure that all damage to property, human health/life and habitat are properly compensated with minimal legal involvement beyond proof of loss.

This fund should, at a minimum, be $100 billion. Contributors would be these corporations and firms in hydrocarbon exploration, mining, drilling, pumping, piping, refining, compressing and shipping by land or sea.

This fund would comprise Government of Canada bonds,

Former White Rock RCMP constable Mike Lane put his all in everything he did, says letter-writer John Spark.

Dedicated officer will be missed Editor: As I am not a fan of Facebook, I would still like to comment on the passing of Const. Mike Lane, July 11. I only learned of his passing July 28.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Mike for the duration of his time at VIA Detachment.

Mike was a dedicated member of the force, both on and off the field, and put in 110 per cent into his work and equally into a good joke, where everyone had a good laugh. He will be sorely missed.

CRS Financial Group Ltd. Give more to your family and less to the government?

Like many Canadians, your financial plan may include an element of savings that you never plan to spend. You have conservatively invested some money that you intend to pass on to those you care about most. Often times these investments are sitting in low yielding GIC’s at the bank. In today’s low interest rate environment you are lucky to get a 5 year GIC paying 2.50%.

The problem is this strategy’s success is largely based on the investment’s rate of return. And, unfortunately, the higher the return, the more tax you pay. Most investors forget that a GIC earning 2.50% is taxed as interest income and it is taxed at your marginal tax rate. This means your estate may end up smaller than you’re anticipating due to low rate of return plus taxation at your marginal tax rate.

The Snowbirds will put on a free display in White Rock with donations benefiting CH.I.L.D. Foundation, which supports children with inflammatory bowel disease and ulcerative colitis.

Free display to support CH.I.L.D. Foundation set for Wednesday

Snowbirds lift spirits with performance Sarah Massah

A

Staff Reporter

s the City of White Rock prepares to welcome a return of the Canadian Snowbirds aerobatic team, a local man is sharing his story about living with Crohn’s disease.

Wednesday’s performance over Semiahmoo Bay is aimed at increasing awareness of the CH.I.L.D. Foundation, which strives to find a cure for inflammatory bowel disease and ulcerative colitis.

Eric Plastik was 13 when he was first diagnosed with Crohn’s, which can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract.

Now 21, Plastik is encouraging

others with the diagnosis to search for ways to manage the disease.

“Most people don’t know what it is. It’s not a romantic illness. They don’t make movies about Crohn’s,” he said.

“What I would really like people to do who have the illness is to take control back. They have more power over their health than they think they do.”

While Plastik currently keeps his Crohn’s under control – for the most part – with a proper diet, usually, the first step for doctors is to prescribe medication.

“For the first five years at Children’s Hospital, I was given all kinds of medication,” he said.

“None of them ever did anything.

At one point, they called in my parents because they thought they weren’t giving the pills to me. They didn’t think it was possible for me to be immune to all of them.”

Soon after, Plastik began looking at his diet and cutting out foods that cause flare ups.

“That’s been my real life saver, it’s been the one thing that’s kept me going,” he said, noting he had been told in the past by a dietician that diet didn’t affect Crohn’s.

“What I want people to know – and this is not me saying that doctors are evil or want to hurt you – but I feel too many people that go to the doctors with Crohn’s or something more drastic than a broken bone, they want to put it all

on the doctor.

“But what I want people to know is that if you don’t take responsibility for your health, you’ll never know.”

And while Plastik admitted living with Crohn’s has been a difficult journey, he said the most useful – and hardest – lesson has been learning how to be happy in a terrible situation.

Even with medication and the right diet, the disease can flare up, he said.

“You feel like crap… Everything falls apart. But you need to learn how to be happy despite that,” he said.

“I wouldn’t have been here without people who love and

support me. It’s cliché, but it’s cliché because it’s the truth. I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for them.”

Wednesday’s Snowbirds’ performance is set for 5:30 p.m., with pre-show activities to get underway at 3 p.m. and all proceeds from sponsors and commemorative T-shirt sales to benefit the CH.I.L.D. Foundation.

Spectators can also donate $10 by texting the world SNOWBIRD to 41010.

Boaters are reminded that the waters under the performance area will be closed to marine traffic from 3:30-7 p.m., with RCMP and other authorities monitoring for compliance.

RCMP accepting applications for Citizen Police program

Recruits needed for academy Have you ever wondered what policing is really like? Did you know there’s more to it than the patrol officer you see on the road? To find out, apply to join the Surrey RCMP’s Citizen Police Academy.

The Surrey RCMP is now accepting applications for its first Citizen Police Academy, to give those interested a chance to see what policing is really like.

Running from Sept. 24 to Nov. 26, the academy will give 25 participants an inside look at policing in Surrey through an interactive learning series. The 10-session program will feature a packed itinerary taught by experienced officers and staff

and will include presentations, demonstrations and hands-on scenarios.

Topics to be covered include basic law and the court system; crime types and trends; a day in the life of a patrol officer; drug enforcement; forensics; media relations; police dog services; and polygraph demonstration.

“One of the main goals of this program is to engage with citizens and explore what the police and community can do together to enhance public safety,” says Chief Supt. Bill Fordy, Surrey RCMP Officer in Charge. “We hope that participants will gain a better understanding of their police service, and in turn, feel

empowered to work with us towards a common goal of crime prevention.”

Applicants to the Surrey RCMP Citizen Police Academy must be at least 18 years old; be a resident or business owner in Surrey; complete and pass a criminal record check (no record or pending charges); be eager to learn, engage and participate in the course; and, be available on all Wednesday evenings from Sept. 24 to Nov. 26.

For more details or application information, visit www.surrey. rcmp.ca or email Surrey_CPAEPA_Surrey@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.

The deadline to apply is Aug. 31.

White Rock Renegades prep for Canadian fastpitch championships

National spotlight awaits Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Giant leap

Boaz Joseph photo

Ocean Athletics Track and Field’s Caiden Lee leaps over a hurdle during the 60-m hurdle competition during a B.C. Junior Development meet at Bear Creek Park July 26.

Stop us if you’ve heard this before, but White Rock Renegades’ teams are once again set to vie for national fastpitch championships.

The Renegades – one of the country’s most successful fastpitch associations – will have five teams in contention for Canadian titles.

White Rock teams won provincial titles in all four divisions this year – something that hasn’t happened in more than 20 years.

“It was the early-’90s, so it’s been a long time since we won at every level,” Renegades president Greg Timm said. “It’s been a great year for the Renegades.”

The White Rock Renegades ’97 are the first to hit the field – they’re in Saskatoon this week as one of three B.C. teams at U18 nationals.

The Renegades ’97 are no stranger to the national stage, having won a U16 national crown last season before moving up to the U18 level.

The tournament began Monday, and wraps up Aug. 10.

The two other B.C. squads in contention are both from Delta, the Heat ’96 and Heat ’97.

White Rock qualified for nation-

Enjoy exercise demonstrations, an Osteoporosis Society information booth, calciumrich refreshments, and a presentation by our MediSystem pharmacist on risk factors and management.

In the provincial final, the Renegades edged their ’98-born White Rock counterparts, 3-0.

The third-place team at provincials, the Surrey Storm ’98, also advanced to nationals and will be vying for the Canadian banner in Brampton.

Like the 1997-born Renegades, the trip to nationals will be the ’99s second in a row, having competed at the U14 level last summer after claiming a B.C. title.

Closer to home, the White Rock Renegades’ 2000-born team, as well as the 2001 team, will take part in the U14 Girls Canadian Championships jamboree, set for Aug. 6-10 at Softball City.

The tournament will be split into two divisions – a “Cup” division and an “Open” division – with 21 teams in total taking part.

In the Cup division, the Renegades 2000 will be joined by the Surrey Storm 2001, as well as two other teams from B.C., four from Ontario and one each from Manitoba, Quebec and Saskatchewan.

The Open division will feature Renegades 2001, Delta Heat 2001 and Surrey Storm 2000, alongside squads from Ontario and P.E.I.

als – and will head in as B.C.’s No. 1 seed – after a come-from-behind run at provincials last month. At B.C. championships, the ’Gades got off to a rough start, losing their first two games of the round robin, before reeling off enough victories over the final two days of play to advance to the finals. In the finals, they defeated Delta Heat ’96 6-0.

“Coming in as a first-year team, they probably felt a little nervous,” Renegades assistant coach Courtney Gill told Peace Arch News after the win.

“But we just came together as a team and never quit.”

At this year’s U16 national championships – to be held in Brampton, Ont. Aug. 13-17 – two more White Rock teams will be on the field, as the Renegades ’98 and ’99 both qualified.

For the Renegades ’99, the national appearance will cap a excellent first season at the U16 level. The first-year bantam team won a handful of tournament banners this season, including both the Canadian Open Fastpitch Championships’ Showcase Gold division, as well as provincial championships in late July.

BIRTHS

BURNS, Dr. James H. It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. James H. Burns (“Bob”), retired psychiatrist, on July 29th, 2014, aged 86 in Langley, BC. A true patriarch, his wisdom, advice, and support will never be replaced, and will always be remembered. He was predeceased by his eldest son, Richard, and two better, kinder men this world will not see again. Bob is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Ann, sons Robert (Judith), and Ian (Laura), his daughter Eleanor (Rudy), and Richard’s wife Susan. His grandchildren, Liam, Erin, and Fiona, have known their grandfather long enough to have received his message that one can do anything one sets their sights on, and the only limits are those that are self-imposed. Bob’s success in all things, including family, work, and sailing, was a result of the passion and dedication he brought to everything in his life. We will miss him so much.
