8,000 names on petition calling for ban in White Rock after raccoon injuries reported
Leg-hold traps unacceptable: mayor Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
White Rock’s mayor says he would back enacting a ban on leg-hold traps in his city. “Besides being a cruel form of entrapment, the likelihood of a domestic animal or even a child getting caught by one is just too great,” Baldwin told Peace Arch News by email Monday. “In my opinion, their use is totally unacceptable.” The issue arose last month, after a resident reported that a mother raccoon had twice
been seriously mangled by leg-hold traps, and others responded with similar sightings. The news prompted the Vancouver-based Association for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals to offer a $1,000 reward for information leading to the person responsible; as well, APFA launched an online petition calling on the City of White Rock to implement a ban on leg-hold traps. The equipment is legal in B.C., regulated by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Resource Operations. According to information online,
rules include that they cannot be placed within 200 metres of a private home; that trappers must possess a licence or permit; and that, when used on public land, the traps must be checked at least once every 72 hours. It is illegal to trap raccoons with leg-hold traps. The petition for White Rock to crack down on their use has attracted both local and worldwide interest. As of this week, it bears more than 8,000 names, including from as far away as Spain, Germany and South
Africa. APFA spokesman Adrian Nelson said it’s hoped the support will be enough to convince White Rock officials to take action. “We’re hoping as soon as we can get in front of council, we’ll present it,” Nelson said Thursday. “Show that there’s enough support locally and around the world for this.” Baldwin said he expects a staff report on the issue “in due course.” Council’s next regular meeting is set for Monday (April 13). i see page 4

Civic officials explain decision to put onus of solid-waste collection on stratas, businesses
City of White Rock gets an earful over trash plans Staff Reporter
Tempers flared last Wednesday evening as more than 200 residents packed White Rock Community Centre to discuss the contentious issue of garbage collection. The city-hosted meeting, moderated by White Rock Coun. Bill Lawrence, was intended to provide information for residents of multifamily units about the privatization of solid-waste collection, but quickly turned into a forum for angry attendees to vent frus-
trations at the city regarding the change. Speaking to the lively crowd, Mayor Wayne Baldwin immediately acknowledged the city’s shortcomings communicating the changes to service, set to take place July 1. “We did not do a great job of communicating this,” Baldwin said, garnering applause from the crowd. “It could have been a lot better, and we would like to rectify this situation.” Baldwin outlined some of the
reasons behind the termination of solid-waste pickup for multifamily residences – including current high costs, addressing the issue of organics collection and the need to move to user fees and align with the “best practices” of other municipalities. He then turned the floor over to the city’s director of municipal operations, Greg St. Louis, who presented a slideshow (available at www.whiterockcity.ca) detailing the background of the city’s solidwaste plan and the next steps in

implementing it. When the meeting was opened up for public questions and comments, residents expressed their discontent with the city and its plan. Criticism ranged from the timing of the decision – made in-camera just weeks after the municipal election – to the feeling of “abandonment” on the part of strata residents. Warren Manuel, who lives in a 10-unit condo building, pointed out inequality between how the

city is treating multifamily dwellers and single-family residences. “I don’t mind paying more taxes if I’m getting the kind of service that I want,” Manuel said. “But I don’t like the idea of single-family getting a pass and all the condo people getting their garbage cut off. That is not right. And I am not voting for any of you guys again.” Adding a voice from the business community was restaurateur John Carroll, owner of Charlie Don’t Surf on Marine Drive. i see page 4

Newton shooting follows 11 March incidents
Gunfire erupts between two cars Kevin Diakiw Black Press
April began with a bang in Surrey, as gunplay erupted from vehicles in Newton last Wednesday morning. At about 11:40 a.m. on April 1, police responded to gunfire between two cars at 128 Street and 64 Avenue. As of 2:20 p.m., there were no reports of injuries from the morning violence. Police believe the gunfire may have originated from a silver four-door sedan, as it shot rounds at a black Honda sedan. Both vehicles were heading south on
128 Street and continued on that path after the shooting. There were no available descriptions of the people in the vehicles. There were 11 shootings in Surrey last month, with many of those occurring in Newton. Four of the incidents are related, police believe. The rest are believed to be targeted. Anyone with information is encouraged to call Surrey RCMP non-emergency line at 604-599-0502 or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

the RCMP have been unable, to date, to identify suitable alternative premises that meet the functionality, visibility and parking requirements,” Surrey’s general manager of engineering Fraser Smith writes in a report to council. As such, Surrey has signed an extension at the current site, with an option to terminate the lease with 180 days notice after June 30, 2016.

The search for a new place to put the Newton policing station has failed to bear fruit. The City of Surrey has searched for the last year for a new spot for the building, currently located at 7235 137 St. The RCMP was looking for better visibility. Challenges included finding a spot with the right kind of access and a place with enough parking. “After reviewing a number of potential location alternatives, city staff and

Man’s body found near Colebrook Road, two women days apart in New West complex
Bains pleads guilty to three homicides Sheila Reynolds Black Press
A man accused of killing another man in Surrey in early 2013 and murdering two women in New Westminster later the same year has pleaded guilty. Sarbjit Bains was facing trial for the death of 29-year-old Amritpal Saran, whose burned body was found beside Colebrook Road north of Highway 99 on Feb. 24, 2013. Bains was initially charged last year with second-degree murder in the Surrey case, but on Thursday in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster, he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter. Bains, 33, was also charged and facing trial in connection with the murders of Jill Lyons, who was found dead in an apartment in New Westminster on Aug. 12, 2013 and Karen Nabors, who was found dead in the same building 13 days later. Bains pleaded guilty
to two counts of second-degree murder for the deaths of Lyons, 45, and Nabors, 48. Bains’ former girlfriend, Evelina Urbaniak, 37, admitted in February to her role after Amritpal’s death, pleading guilty to interfering with a dead body. She received a twoyear conditional sentence followed by three years probation. During her sentencing, the court heard that Bains and Urbaniak had a troubled, abusive relationship and had been together for about two years. Their lives “revolved around drugs,” the judge heard. According to an agreed statement of facts, on the night of Saran’s death, he had been partying with Bains and Urbaniak. Urbaniak went to bed and later, when Bains found Saran in bed with her, he became enraged. Urbaniak said she heard the two men fighting in another room, but didn’t know what happened until she saw Saran dead.
Amritpal Saran
Jill Lyons
Karen Nabors
She and Bains went and bought plastic bins and gasoline and returned to the apartment. They put Saran in the taped-together bins and drove to a secluded portion of Colebrook Road, dumped Saran’s body, poured gasoline over it and lit it on fire. Saran’s family submitted victim-impact statements prior to Urbaniak’s sentencing. “No parent should ever have to endure those circumstances,” wrote Saran’s mother.
Because Bains pleaded guilty prior to the case going to trial, details surrounding the murders of Lyons and Nabors have not been made public. The women were reportedly both mothers and both worked as online escorts. They were each found in their own suites in the apartment building in the 200-block of 11th Street. The evidence in Lyons’ death initially pointed to suicide, but after Nabors was found dead, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team was called and women “engaged in a high-risk lifestyle” were warned to take extra precautions. Bains’ sentencing is scheduled for June 26. Second-degree murder carries an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for between 10 and 25 years. Sentences for manslaughter can vary from probation to life in prison.
Earlier weapons charge
Assault charge A Langley man is facing an assault charge after a reported theft last week at a South Surrey grocery store. According to police, the 45-yearold was arrested March 31 after an employee of the South Point SaveOn-Foods was assaulted by a man who was trying to flee the store. They say injuries were not serious. The same suspect is charged in connection with a previously unreported incident in White Rock on Jan. 22. Police last week would not disclose details of that incident, however, court records show it resulted in four charges: carry/use/threaten to use a weapon; uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm; carry a weapon or prohibited device/ammo concealed; and, possessing weapon for dangerous purpose. James Francis Murphy appeared in Surrey Provincial Court on Friday. He is due back on April 17. – Tracy Holmes

Work to install two pedestrian rail crossings along White Rock’s West Beach between the pier and Bayview Park got underway last week. The at-grade, zigzag crossings – being constructed at a cost of nearly $500,000 – are intended to provide controlled access to the waterfront at Oxford and Anderson streets in time for summer.
One legal challenge to Fraser River terminal dismissed, but others ongoing
Multiple hurdles hold back added coal trains Jeff Nagel Black Press
Opponents of a proposed new coal-export terminal on the Fraser River in Surrey have lost one legal challenge, but other court battles and regulatory decisions continue to hold up the project. Fraser Surrey Docks got approval last summer from Port Metro Vancouver to build the $15-million facility to reload four million tonnes of coal per year from trains rolling through White Rock and South Surrey onto barges, but it has yet to begin construction. Climate-change activists fighting the project tried to overturn the province’s approval of increased coal storage on Texada Island – where the barges are to be emptied and
ocean-going freighters loaded – but a B.C. Supreme Court judge last week upheld the decision. Another court case filed by Fraser Surrey Docks challenges Metro Vancouver’s jurisdiction over regional air quality on federally regulated port lands. That case, set to be heard starting in June, resulted from Fraser Surrey Docks’ dispute of a $1,000 ticket it received from Metro for excessive dust emissions from its grain-handling operation. It’s expected to be a major test of the region’s authority. The company has so far held off on applying to Metro for an air-quality permit for the coal facility – it won’t need one if it wins in court. Fraser Surrey Docks has, however, applied for a Metro permit
to discharge treated waste water used to wash down incoming coal loads through the sewer system to the Annacis Island treatment plant rather than treating the effluent itself and discharging it to the Fraser River. That’s in the midst of a Metroordered period for public comment. Also working its way through the legal system is a challenge of the port’s approval of the project filed in Federal Court by the opposition group Communities and Coal. Opponents will argue the port authority failed to consider climate-change implications of the project and that it was biased, failing to consult stakeholders. Anti-coal activist Kevin Washbrook said that case won’t be heard until the fall at the earliest, but

Fraser Surrey Docks operation. the cities of Surrey and New Westminster are applying for intervenor status in support of the opposition. The project would carry U.S. thermal coal from Wyoming for export to Asia but is resisted by neighbours who fear coal dust along the train route, as well as climate-change activists who hope to keep the coal in the ground.
Time is on their side, Washbrook predicts. “We’re pushing back on every single front possible,” he said. “But I think the thing that’s going to kill this is China.” Washbrook said demand for imported coal is steadily declining, eroding the economic case for a new outlet for U.S. coal through B.C. “I think it’s a question of holding them off as long as we can until they realize there’s just no point anymore.” Fraser Surrey Docks CEO Jeff Scott said no decision has been made to start construction and the earliest the new terminal could be open is mid-2016. “We still think our project is viable,” he said.

‘What we want: a little respect’ i from page 1 Carroll told the crowd his annual White Rock tax bill for his business is $45,000, compared to $12,000 for a similar business he owns in Cloverdale. Estimating his annual garbage collection bill will be $26,000 under White Rock’s new private system – and noting his customers have brought in close to $9 million in parking revenue for the city – Carroll said he deserves more respect than what the city has shown. “I see myself as a partner here,” he said. “You just arbitrarily came out and told us. You didn’t consult us, you didn’t ask us. That’s what we want: a little respect.” Only one speaker – a White Rock property manager – did not express dissatisfaction with the city, however, he was there to seek help educating his tenants on proper waste-disposal methods. Regarding the lack of public consultation, Baldwin noted there would be an opportunity for council to revisit the issue in a public manner, however, that conversation likely wouldn’t take place at a special April 7 council meeting requested last month by Couns. Helen Fathers and David Chesney, who were both present at Wednesday’s meeting. “That meeting, I can tell you right now, won’t last for more than a minute-and-a-half, so don’t bother attending,” Baldwin said, later explaining two other

Residents pack a White Rock town-hall meeting to question officials. councillors would be on vacation and unable to attend. “There will be a meeting on April 10, that will be a longer meeting with a full discussion of the process. And there might be a change, I don’t know. I can’t speak for what council is going to do.” Fathers told Peace Arch News Thursday that she is happy to have all council members in attendance at the meeting, but that “time is of the essence” in addressing what she described as a “mess.” “I know that everyone is upset and we need to find some solutions really quick,” she said. “We have done a terrible job of communicating this. We need to have a lot more respect, and I don’t think that was conveyed last night.” Another area of concern brought up was the increased garbage-truck traffic in the city – something St. Louis acknowl-
edged in his presentation as a “challenge” the city will face under the new system. “What do you think it’s going to look like in White Rock when we have so many different companies picking up garbage?” resident Linda Coulter asked. “Every day there will be different people’s garbage cans out on the street. Being able to walk in our walkable city is going to be much more difficult. Is that your image for what you want our city to look like?” Towards the end of the twohour meeting, resident Susan Watkins appealed for the mayor, council and city staff to seize the opportunity to focus on a workable solution. “Everybody in this room could be spending a lot more time and energy with the leadership of White Rock figuring out what to do with our garbage,” Watkins said. “We need your leadership.”
Traps i from page 1 Baldwin said he could not comment on Nelson’s assertion that no one from his city has responded to APFA’s communications to date. Nelson said the White Rock man who initially reported the raccoon called Thursday to say it is no longer trapped. “It sounds like she is eating and doing well, but with two legs at this point,” Nelson said, noting APFA is working with Langley-based Critter Care Wildlife Society to locate the raccoon. Nelson described response to the petition as “pretty average.” “Something like this unfortunately touches people quite tragically. It’s unfortunate that it takes something like this to get that reaction.” Meanwhile, the city’s director of planning said traps are not believed to be behind discoveries of dead waterfowl on White Rock streets. Karen Cooper told PAN the city’s animalcontrol services picked up two dead ducks near Maccaud Park in late March and a dead Canada goose on Fir Street last Thursday.

editorial
Affordable housing should be priority
A
report issued by Vancity Credit Union last week is deeply disturbing. The report says that, if there is no significant downturn in the Lower Mainland housing market, Langley will be the only community in Metro Vancouver that will be affordable for most home buyers 15 years from now. The report states the average price for housing in Vancouver at that time will be more than $2 million. This is completely unaffordable for most people. Prices in surrounding communities will also rise accordingly, and even today, Vancity says housing remains affordable in only five communities – Langley City, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Port Coquitlam and New Westminster. Do we want this area to be a place where people can only afford to rent? Given that rents are rising as well, even that may not be an option for some people. There is no question that housing prices have continued to rise due to steady demand. The demand has continued in large part due to record-low interest rates. While it is likely they will stay low for at least as long as the Canadian economy faces challenges, sooner or later they will rise. Housing prices in Vancouver, the North Shore and Richmond have also been heavily influenced by foreign buyers, who pay high prices in desirable areas, often for homes they will never live in. While there is nothing wrong with foreign investment, the continued blind eye to this activity by all levels of government is wrongheaded. At the very least, non-resident buyers should be paying higher property-purchase tax rates, and should also pay higher property taxes – as is the case in some American jurisdictions. This would give the provincial and municipal governments more revenue and perhaps serve as a slight deterrent. Ads from the “yes”side in the transit plebiscite say one million more people are coming here. Where will they live and how will they afford it? Keeping housing affordable should be a priority for all levels of government.

me that’s not all they want. They are also seeking quotas for members of their unions on a project that will be a small city of 1,700 people at peak construction. BCYT executive director Tom Sigurdson says that while all sides acknowledge the need for foreign workers for Site C, he wants to control that too, working with their affiliated unions in the United States. There will be non-union construction firms, some of them owned by aboriginal communities in the north. There will be contractors affiliated with the Christian Labour Association of Canada. The BCYT hopes to set wages and conditions for them all, and influence Ottawa’s temporary foreign worker program to boot. McDonald and Premier Christy Clark have politely told them to pound sand. Their formula would add millions in costs to the project, driving up BC Hydro rates even more than they are already rising. BC Hydro has already done dam upgrade projects using a “managed open site” model and it’s not inclined to return to the era of W.A.C. Bennett as Sigurdson demands. Sigurdson makes a valid point that when two concrete masons compare paycheques on the Site C project and one sees he’s making $5 an hour less, he won’t be happy. He will want the higher rate, and the BCYT is taking BC Hydro to court to ensure they can recruit new members on the site. It looks like a hot summer ahead.

Compromise on good service Editor: The mailbox at the end of our very short street has been “compromised.” That is a euphemism for being broken into. Now, I’m so old that I recall when people used to deliver mail to our house. They were called postmen or postwomen, and they would put mail through an aperture in the door that was called a letterbox. It was a very secure system that was never “compromised.” And the postman was invariably cheerful. In the time that it takes for a postal worker to fill our community box, he or she could actually deliver mail to our house, but it seems that such a service is now frowned upon by Canada Post, which seems to be aiming at having the worst service at the least cost. And they are succeeding. Peter Ferris, Surrey
Reluctantly getting to ‘no’ Editor: I am sorry. I understand and appreciate with what environmentalist David Suzuki and his foundation’s members point to regarding TransLink; and I am so grateful to the citizens who support his view. I appreciate – and agree – with the voice of our youth who ask that the older generations consider the present circumstances and future needs of a growing population. I want to say ‘yes’ in the transit plebescite; the benefit to the environment and societal needs is, for me, my guiding principle to responsible action. But – with great apologies to all individuals dependent upon TransLink – I will be declaring a ‘no’. Enough is enough. Being asked to trust that which has proven itself to be distrustful makes my spine shiver. TransLink’s upper-management created this mistrust with mismanagement of funds at every level of responsibility. And to find myself in a position to be accountable to my friends and neighbours in a manner that has been denied by TransLink and B.C. community leaders leaves me speechless. So, to each person dependent upon our public transit, I am sorry for any inconvenience you may experience. I just cannot in good faith entrust another momentary benefit to TransLink. Until an honest restructure of revenue and assets are administered, and an actual referendum is presented, I will then vote ‘yes’. Charon Hunniford, White Rock Q I rely on TransLink for my commute and voted ‘no’ on the Transit Referendum. Why? Proponents of this initiative ask rhetorically, “How does Metro Vancouver grow by one million and still remain livable?”
The answer is it doesn’t, whether this proposition passes or not. Missing from either side of the debate is any serious discussion about the root cause of our region’s congestion problem: unfettered development. Even if the referendum passes, it represents a zero-sum game whereby transit improvements struggle to keep pace with growth. Commute times will, at best, remain the same. We’re already putting the brakes on our buses and cars. We need to put the brakes on development, too. Address the underlying problem first, then let’s talk about transit. Vote ‘no’. Anthony Manning, White Rock
High time to give it a rest Editor: Sunday night, I was once again awoken all night every hour on the hour by those loud train horns, and I live uptown White Rock so can only imagine the sound radiating in the downtown core. Perhaps the conductors of these trains did not get the message from their superiors that the horns are only to be blasted at night in emergency cases only, so the rest of us can get our rest. Or perhaps they just like to hear the sounds of their own horns? Whatever the case may be, I think it’s high time that we as a community started reporting these
conductors to our own superiors by writing the dates and times down that these blasts constantly occur since we are awoken anyway by their stupidity, and only then we can start to put a name to the offence until they get the message to tone it down so the rest of us can get our rest! Cheryl Berti, White Rock
Conflicting regulations Editor: Re: Left-lane laws not necessary, March 19 editorial. Regarding the ‘road hogs’ as they call them, who hold up traffic in the left lane, I understand that the police are going to crack down on people who continue to be road hogs. This is quite humorous. I would really like to understand how a driver driving at the speed limit in the left lane of a freeway could be classified as a road hog. If the speed limit is 100 km/h and the driver is doing just that, why should the driver have to move because someone coming up behind them is obviously speeding? The speed limit is the speed limit, so anyone exceeding the speed limit should be given a ticket, while anyone driving the speed limit in no matter what lane should be left alone. I say this with a touch of humour, of course, because I find myself coming up on drivers who do hold
up traffic and drive me crazy. Why? Because they’re doing the speed limit. I, like most drivers on the freeway, speed and don’t like to be held up by someone in the left lane if they are traveling slower than I am. Speed limit on the freeway is 100 km/h and I see that most drivers, including me, are probably driving closer to 110-120 km/h. This is probably the correct speed for the freeway, but it is not posted. I hope slower drivers will move over when they see a car coming up behind them. It would be interesting to be given a ticket for holding up traffic when you are doing the speed limit. This is another brilliant piece of legislation presented by our government. Aren’t there more important decisions to be made? Roger Currie, Surrey

Resident Ian Routledge addresses a March 23 rally at city hall protesting planned changes to solid-waste pickup.
Preliminary – and final – talks Open letter to White Rock mayor and council. Re: City leaders stand firm on trash plan, April 2. I am confused. Perhaps you could clarify this for me. Your city clerk advised me in email that the decision regarding “garbage collection was made December 15, 2014 in a closed meeting of council in accordance with the Community Charter Section 90(1)(k).” Clause ‘k’ in the charter is limited to be used as an exception only to matters that are at their “preliminary” stages. Ignore the fact that the proclamation by the city is to cease the service – not provide the service – and that your own CAO has not been able to identify what harm might come to the city by opening the meeting to the public, but just focus on the first clause of qualification, that the provisions be “in their preliminary stages.”
In the April 2 edition of Peace Arch News, Mayor Wayne Baldwin is quoted as saying this about the secret, closed meeting in December: “The only thing that happened at that in-camera meeting was to decide to go ahead.” In my mind there is absolutely nothing “preliminary” about making the final decision for the termination of a decades old core municipal service to the 11,000 residents of White Rock who live in stratas. I wonder, could this be a violation of the Community Charter? Is this exactly the kind of illegal secret, closed meeting that the Community Charter intends to eliminate in order to achieve the goals of public process, public participation and open government?

Residents can request transit-referendum packages until May 15
4.1% of ballots returned Jeff Nagel Black Press
Just 4.1 per cent of ballots in Metro Vancouver’s transportation and transit plebiscite were mailed back to Elections BC by the end of March. And of the 63,663 ballots received as of April 1, 54,437 are from Vancouver and the other 9,226 are from Surrey. Elections BC has mailed out more than 1.5 million ballots. Spokesman Don Main said ballots were sent out to homes in Vancouver and Surrey first because it was determined that would be most cost-effective.

Province’s new regulations took effect last week
SOUTHRIDGE SPEAKER SERIES
Liquor price changes small Tom Fletcher Black Press
Some producers are raising prices slightly and others are offering short-term discounts, as B.C.’s new liquor price wholesale model took effect last week. Pre-tax retail price changes at B. C. government stores show little change for the the most popular brands of beer, hard liquor and other alcoholic beverages. Government store shoppers now see lower prices on the shelves, because as of April 1, government stores add provincial and federal sales tax at the cash register. Of the top 10 brands of spirits, a 750-ml bottle of Crown Royal whiskey retails for $23.49 – a two-cent increase – plus taxes. For the larger bottle of Crown Royal, government stores are reducing the price by $1.98 for the month of April. A six-pack of Lonetree cider goes up 90 cents to $9.59 after a March discount. For larger cans of imported Strongbow cider, an April sale price is reduced $1.14 to $17.99. For private retailers – as Peace Arch News reported Thursday – Save-on-Foods store in South Surrey was the first to take advantage of new regulations allowing sale of B.C. wines directly from grocery shelves.

The government-store retail price used to be the benchmark for B.C. sales, with discounts off that price to private retailers. Now all pay the same wholesale price to the Liquor Distribution Branch, which retains its wholesale monopoly. The LDB wholesale markup is now 124 per cent of the supplier price for hard liquor, 73 per cent for coolers and ciders, 89 per
cent for wine and a per-litre tax with ascending rates for small, medium and large breweries. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton says the system is designed to create a level playing field for retailers, while maintaining the government’s revenue of $1 billion a year from the wholesale markup. Many government liquor stores have added refrigerators and Sunday opening hours, to make up for the loss of their wholesale discount over private stores.

City seeks park ideas

An open house to share information and collect ideas for two new parks in South Surrey’s Grandview Heights neighbourhood is set for 6-8 p.m. on April 13. Wills Brook Park, at 2955 160 St., was acquired during the subdivision and development of lands to its west. Described as primarily a riparian area that protects Wills Brook as it flows north to the Nicomekl River, it features an area of open grass where an off-leash dog park is planned. Mountain View Park, at 15901 Mountain View Dr., is a small neighbourhood park with walking paths, situated next to a pond, with development to the west and south. City of Surrey officials are looking for ideas for both sites. The open house is to be held at Sunnyside Elementary, 2828 159 St. For more information, email parksrecculture@surrey.ca or call 604-501-5050. – Tracy Holmes

course. It tends to take the average golfer about a month of consistent play to get into game shape, he added. “Short game is the toughest thing to get back. Your long game, driving the ball, that’s easier to do, but short game is all about finesse, and touch, so it can be difficult,” White said. When it comes to your clubs, it’s important to make sure your grips are in good condition. The older – or more used – your set of clubs, the more likely they are to have worn out or
cracked grips. “If you’ve had your clubs for awhile, it might be time to get your grips replaced,” White said. When it comes to grips, there’s a wide variety of sizes, textures and materials available – something to suit every golfer, whether one needs better grip in rainy conditions, or is looking for a softer feel or handvibration dampening. Once you’ve got your game and your clubs in tip-top shape, all that’s left to do is stock up on balls and tees and head to the course.

Making a few trips to the driving range is a great way to prepare for your first round of golf.
While most golf courses in Surrey – and throughout the rest of the Lower Mainland – have been open for months, many golfers are just now pulling their clubs out of the garage and cleaning last season’s dirt off their golf shoes. And while some golfers will choose to jump right into their first rounds of the spring, others will take time to warm up both their equipment and their skills before teeing off. A little extra preparation can go a long way, after all. For starters, in order to get back into the swing of things, it’s never a bad idea to head to the driving range to hit a few buckets of balls. And if you feel like your game still needs a bit more work to shake off the rust, consult the golf pros at your favourite course for help. “It’s always good to take a tuneup lesson (early in the season),” said Hazelmere Golf Course pro Mike White, adding that the PGA Tour’s Masters Tournament, which begins Thursday, is often the catalyst to get fans of the game back on the

E-portfolio school initiative wins $50,000 prize Sheila Reynolds
among three shortlisted for the prize. The winner was announced April 2. The Surrey program invites teachers to capture student learning by taking digital photos, video and notes as opportunities arise, filing them in a student’s e-portfolio, which can then be shared in real time with parents. The system allows parents to monitor and support (with teachers) their child’s progress, without having to wait for
Black Press
An e-portfolio program in Surrey that supplements traditional report cards by recording and sharing student learning with parents daily has been chosen the winner of a $50,000 award. The Surrey School District’s Making Learning Visible initiative was one of 28 entries shortlisted for the Cmolik Prize for Enhancement of Public Education in B.C., and
a report card or for school work to arrive home. It also helps students take charge of their learning. Robyn Thiessen, the winning entry’s co-author and a teacher at Green Timbers Elementary, was among eight Surrey educators who began exploring the concept of e-portfolios three years ago using the online tool FreshGrade. The online reporting system has now been implemented in several kindergarten to Grade 9 classes
at 35 Surrey public schools. The district says there continues to be great demand by teachers to participate in the program, as well as interest expressed from educators nationally and internationally. “The use of a digital portfolio fosters student engagement in learning by allowing students to choose evidence and artifacts that illustrate their personal growth. Students then create actions plans to improve their growth,” explains
Thiessen. The Cmolik Prize, recognizing innovative educational practices in kindergarten to Grade 12, is awarded through Simon Fraser University’s Faculty of Education. The other co-authors of the Surrey entry were Supt. of Schools Jordan Tinney, Director of Instruction Elisa Carlson, Dan Turner, director, information management services and Antonio Vendramin, principal at Cambridge Elementary.

Two members of the Surrey Gymnastics Society have qualified for the Western Canadian Championships in Okotoks, Alberta next month. Treyson Cerrato and Emanuel Gutierrez Sandoval qualified at the Twisters Gymnastics Invitational Competition last weekend, an event which doubled as a Team BC trial event. Gutierrez Sandoval, 11, earned an all-around silver medal in the Elite 3 category. He placed second on the pommel horse, rings and vault, and was third on floor, parallel bars and high bar. Cerrato, 13, also won an allaround silver medal. He won gold medals on rings, parallel bars and high bar, and was third on pommel horse and fifth on floor. Both will travel with SGS coach John Carroll, who was named as one of the Team BC coaches. Three other SGS gymnasts fared well at the Twisters event. Brady Reeleder, 11, won the all-around gold medal in the Provincial 2 (10-and-under) category, after winning gold on vault, silver on floor, pommel horse and parallel bars and placing fourth on high bar. Competing in the same category, Reggie Quintana, 10, won gold on floor and placed fifth all-around. Timofey Azhogin was third on rings and vault, and fourth on floor and pommel horse in the Provincial 3 (under-13) group. In girls competition, top-five scores were earned by Alanna Jones, 21, in Provincial 5 Open (fifth on vault), Emily Carroll, 17, in Junior Olympic Level 8 (fifth on beam), Maria Bashko, 11, in Junior Olympic Level 7 (third on beam), and Alexa Cannon, 12, also in Junior Olympic Level 7 (fifth on bars).

Tour de White Rock registration opens The Tour de White Rock cycling weekend may still be a few months away, but online registration for it and other events on the BC Superweek calendar is already accepting riders. “With the growth of BC Superweek as one of North America’s most recognized professional road-race series, the interest from teams and riders to register as soon as possible has also grown,� said Superweek race director Mark Ernstring. “As a result, we decided to open registration earlier this year than in the past.� This year, the Tour de White Rock is set for July 17-18, with the popular criterium set for uptown White Rock on the first day (Friday), while the longer road race will be the next morning, with the start/ finish line on Marine Drive. For the first time, this year’s event – normally a three-day affair – will not include the hill climb, which was axed from the schedule for 2015. This year, BC Superweek features, in total, six criteriums and two road races. More than $70,000 in cash – plus thousands more in crowd primes – is on the line in the six criterium races. In addition to the Tour de White Rock, other Superweek events include the Tour de Delta, UBC Grand Prix, Global Relay Gastown Grand Prix – which will likely be the busiest event of the bunch, with 20,000 fans expected – and the Giro di Burnaby. The men’s races are open to pro 1/2 rider, while the women’s races are open to those in pro 1/2/3 categories. “BC Superweek has always been one of my favourite events,� said veteran cyclist Anika Todd. “The racing is incredible. Challenging courses, top-notch competition and big crowds make (it) a really special experience.�’ Last year, the Tour de White Rock’s road race – which was held in scorching 30-degree heat – was won by Meghan Rathwell, on the 80-km women’s course, and Matteo DalCin, who placed first
in the 134-km men’s circuit. Brandon Etzl was the men’s winner of the now-defunct hill climb, while Allison Jackson won both the women’s hill climb and criterium race. She was seventh
in the road race, and captured the overall omnium title. Florenz Knauer was the men’s omnium winner. For more information, or to register, visit www. bcsuperweek.ca – Nick Greenizan

Non Surgical Skin Tightening by New Beauty Institute Ultherapy delivers low levels of focused heat to just the right depth below the skin to target the deep tissues. The surface of the skin remains undisturbed but the controlled injury to the deeper layers triggers a healing response in the skin. The skin contracts and tightens immediately and, like other skin tightening procedures, Ultherapy simulates the growth of new collagen, but DEEPER than ever before! A smooth applicator (placed on the skin) projects an image onto the screen that allows us to see and plan where to direct the energy. We deliver energy to two depths during a single treatment. One pass penetrates 3 mm in depth which is as deep as you can go and still be in the dermis. Another pass over the treatment area penetrates 4.5 mm into the superficial muscular apo-neurotic system (the SMAS layer). The SMAS is the layer of muscles targeted during surgical forehead, face and neck lifts. An Ultherapy™ treatment is non-surgical and cannot deliver the results of a surgical facelift. For people who are not ready for a facelift or just don’t want to have surgery, however, it is a non-invasive alternative that requires just a single treatment. Ultherapy can also be used to further enhance results of a surgical facelift. Your body's response to this energy is to recondition tired skin by stimulating the growth of fresh, new collagen. The result is a tightening and gradual lifting—or

Unlike lasers, which penetrate the skin from the outside-in, the Ultherapy®procedure bypasses the surface of the skin, specifically targeting the deep, structural skin tissues where collagen lives.

OBITUARIES
VANDENAKKER, Melis (Mace) August 9, 1940-March 21, 2015 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Mace Vandenakker. After a valiant battle with cancer, he is survived and lovingly remembered by his wife Elsbeth, his daughter Liane, his son Keith (Charlene), grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. He was born in the Netherlands and immigrated to Canada with his parents at a young age. After graduating from High School he apprenticed to become an Electrician, a profession he loved and was successful at. Later on he started his own company, Vantech Electrical in South Surrey and enjoyed operating it until he retired in 2007. He was a wonderful person and was loved by family & friends. We will remember him for his sunny personality and humour and will miss him deeply.
We thank the doctors & nurses at the Peace Arch Hospital for their care, the home care nurses
who visited our home, and to Dr Joshi for his compassion. All was greatly appreciated. At his request, there will be no service. Family and friends will gather for a remembrance, to be announced at a later date.
PACHECO, Terri (nee Nixon) August 3,1964 - April 2, 2015 Heaven has gained such a beautiful angel in Terri (Teresa Lynn). As she plays her heavenly harp, Terri is watching over the love of her life, George, and her beautifully amazing children Jamie, Braydon and Ryan, all of whom she has always been so proud of. In the afterlife she joins her father Bunny (Bernard) and her grandparents Genevieve and Trigvi Gudmundson and Margaret and Robert Nixon. Left waiting on earth is Terri’s mother Dianne Yusko, sisters Laurie (Patrick) Darcus and Brandi Nixon (Kevin Fulton), and brothers Dan (Keeley) and Darryl Nixon. All miss her deeply and look forward to the day they will be with Terri again. Born in Fort William (now Thunder Bay), Ontario, Terri moved to Pitt Meadows in 1973. She excelled in sports and academics through elementary and high school, and achieved top academic honors at BCIT. After graduating BCIT in 1989 Terri spent the next 26 years working in Medical Records at various locations for Coastal Health. Once her children came along she moved to South Surrey. Terri became the mom who helped organize all the fundraisers and volunteered every time the opportunity presented itself. She was such a selfless giving person who always made people she encountered feel special. Terri loved her walks along the beach, and we will remember her in every sunset - so bright and beautiful. There will be a Catholic Funeral Mass for Terri on Friday April 10th at 1:30pm at Good Shepherd Church, 2250 150th St., Surrey with a Celebration of Life to follow at 3:00pm at Pacific Inn Resort and Conference Centre, 1160 King George Hwy, Surrey In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to one of the following charities: BC Cancer Foundation, Canadian Red Cross or White Rock / South Surrey Hospice Society.
