No need for residents to be fearful in wake of crime spree, police say
An appeal to shooters’ family, friends Sheila Reynolds Black Press
Police have a plan to address the weeks of gun violence in Surrey and Delta, and say although the community should be concerned, residents need not live in fear. Part of that plan, announced Monday, is to establish a dedicated tip line, as well as speak with suspects believed to be involved, along with their family, friends and acquaintances. Officials from local and regional police forces, along with Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner, held a news conference Monday morning, on the heels of the fatal shooting of 22-year-old Arun Bains, the nephew of Surrey-Newton MLA Harry Bains (see sidebar). The young man’s death early April 19 is believed to be linked to a series of brazen shootings involving rival drug dealers.
RCMP assistant commissioner Dan Malo said the situation is complex, “not solved with a simple injection of police resources.” Rather, he said, it will take a change of behaviour, and that the community-outreach strategies being utilized have been effective elsewhere.
“This is not a Surrey issue,” Malo said. “This is an issue of individuals that have chosen to take a particular area that they see is profitable and take it by force.” He said that while residents should be concerned, they shouldn’t be fearful, as the per-
MLA’s nephew murdered Arun Bains
A man killed in a shooting early Sunday morning in Surrey is a relative of a local politician. The victim, Arun Paul Singh Bains, 22, is the nephew of SurreyNewton NDP MLA Harry Bains. Harry Bains was with family ear-
lier this week and not available for comment. Arun Bains was rushed to hospital shortly before 3 a.m., after being shot near 126 Street and 88 Avenue. He succumbed shortly after. i see page 2
petrators are concentrating on one another. Malo said the best thing citizens can do is report what they know. “These individuals… they have family, they have friends, they have relatives, they have mothers, they have fathers, they have cousins,” he said. “This is not a secret amongst some of the communities, and we need to break into that in order to fix it.” Police said last week the violence was linked to a drug turf war between two groups, most of whom have not been cooperative with investigators. Surrey RCMP Supt. Bill Fordy said outreach so far has helped advance the investigation, and he again urged those with information to come forward. To access the new, 24-hour tip line, call 604-915-6566.

Music, singing and plenty of smiles greeted Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he arrived at a Hindu temple in Surrey on Thursday. Accompanied by Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Modi was received by thousands of jubilant people at the Lakshmi Narayan Mandir on 140 Street at 84 Avenue. The leaders’ visit aimed to strengthen ties between the two countries. “I can’t think of a greater place to talk about relations between Canada and India,” Harper said as he addressed the crowd of about 3,500 people. Modi’s two-day visit to Canada, which included stops in Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver, was his first since taking office as head of the world’s largest democracy. His Bharatiya Janata Party won an absolute majority in elections last year. Modi’s trip here is also the first bilateral visit by an Indian prime i see page 4

Retaliation a deep concern i from page 1 A dark-coloured, four-door Mazda 3 riddled with bullet holes – believed to be the vehicle Bains was in – remained at the shooting scene Sunday. It was the first shooting to claim a life in a string of about two dozen gun incidents in Surrey and Delta over the past six weeks – and it is what police feared would happen. Last week, Surrey RCMP and Delta Police announced they believed the shooting spree stemmed from a drug turf war between rival groups of Somalians and South Asians. They even took the step of releasing names and photos of men believed to be involved in hopes someone would be able to shed light on their activities. Following Bains’ death, police now have an additional worry. “Our deep concern now is that there may be a retaliation incident. We are appealing to those involved in this ongoing dispute to not take any more

lives and to understand that this is more than gunplay, it’s murder,” said Surrey RCMP Sgt. Dale Carr. At Monday’s news conference, Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner offered condolences to the Bains family and appealed directly to those involved. “Take a sober look at the grim results of your actions. What happened yesterday is a fate that can befall you,” she said, adding the “code of silence” will only result in more heartache. Surrey RCMP Supt. Bill Fordy also urged anyone with information to come forward “before another young person is killed.” “Residents and children do not deserve to live in fear,” he said. “Do the right and brave thing. Tell police what you know.” A public forum to discuss the spate of shootings was planned for last night (Tuesday) at Tamanawis Secondary, after Peace Arch News press deadline. – Sheila Reynolds

White Rock strata groups to form official organization
‘We are going to be heard’ – residents Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
A group of White Rock residents frustrated with the mayor and council are forming an organization in an effort to have their voices heard. Prompted by the city’s decision to eliminate garbage pickup for multifamily residences and businesses – and its subsequent handling of the public backlash to that decision – the asyet-unnamed group is made up of mainly condominium residents from around White Rock. Founding member Ian Routledge – who helped organize a March 23 rally at city hall protesting the garbage changes – told Peace Arch News Friday that Mayor Wayne Baldwin’s actions at a April 10 special coun-
cil meeting left the group disappointed and dismayed. That meeting – requested by Couns. Helen Fathers and David Chesney to address the public’s concern regarding garbage pickup – was preceded by Baldwin reading from a prepared statement scolding residents who he said had exhibited “unacceptable” behaviour towards councillors, including putting up posters boycotting a councillor’s businesses, and making “threatening” phone calls to another councillor. Baldwin later confirmed to PAN that plainclothes police officers were present at council chambers because one councillor feared for her safety, something Routledge said showed a “lack of leadership.”
“Any mayor or leader who has to bring in plainclothes policemen to a meeting with the citizens of his city is definitely afraid of the citizens,” he said. Worse than Baldwin’s speech, according to Routledge, was the fact the meeting did nothing to quell the unease of those protesting the planned changes. “It really didn’t address the concerns of the people of White Rock,” Routledge said, noting the motions that were passed for technical assistance, education and kitchen catchers were meant to “placate” disapproving residents. Frustrated by feelings that their actions over the past six weeks were all but ignored, a group of 25 residents from 15 stratas met last week, and the idea to form a society was hatched.
“The purpose is to give a voice to the citizens of White Rock,” Routledge said. “And to provide a forum to share information regarding issues in stratas.” Baldwin could not be reached for comment by PAN’s press deadline. The group will reconvene on June 4, when it will elect an executive, create a mission statement, define its objectives and discuss ways to include more people around the community. Routledge said the main thing the society hopes to achieve is respect from the mayor and council – something he feels they have not yet been shown. “We are not going away,” he said. “We are going to get our voices out there, and we are going to be heard.”
Driver ‘not at fault’
Cyclist airlifted A cyclist was airlifted to hospital following a collision late Sunday afternoon on the South Surrey/White Rock border. According to witnesses, the cyclist – who was riding a green mountain bike and was not wearing a helmet – was struck by a sedan in the 15700-block of North Bluff Road around 5:30 p.m. At the scene, the victim’s shoes, glasses and mangled bike could be seen strewn across the thoroughfare’s eastbound lanes. Police closed the road while officers with the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service (ICARS) investigated. Const. Shaileshni Molison said Tuesday that the driver involved remained at the scene and was “not at fault.” The 53-year-old victim was treated at hospital and released, Molison said. – Tracy Holmes

High-school graduates will have to pay to upgrade courses after May 1
New adult-education fees to hit students hard Sheila Reynolds Black Press
She graduated high school in Pakistan 16 years ago and since then, got married, moved to Canada and had three daughters. Now 32, Ayesha Rahimyar is finally finding the time to pursue her dream of higher education. Since September, she’s been upgrading courses in English and math at Invergarry Adult Education Centre in Surrey. Now a single mom recently separated from her husband, Rahimyar’s short-term goal is to complete her Grade 12 courses – which she hopes will build her confidence – so she can get a job and a steady income to support her family. But she envisions even more. “My long-term goal is to go to university,” she says. “It’s always been a dream.” As of next month, however, that goal will be more difficult for her to achieve. Last December, the provin-
cial government announced that, beginning May 1, it will no longer provide funding for adults who have graduated from high school – in Canada or elsewhere – but who want to upgrade their high-school courses. Students will now have to foot the bill. Existing rules allow adults with high school diplomas to attend public learning centres to upgrade courses free of charge. Depending on the number of courses, the new fees could amount to several hundred, if not thousands, of dollars for adult students. In the Surrey School District, there are about 4,000 full- and part-time adult education students – about a third of whom will be affected by the changes. The courses will remain tuitionfree for those working toward their Grade 12 graduation for the first time. Rahimyar, though, will be required to pay. And that’s money she simply doesn’t have. “I have no idea,” she says when
Evan Seal photo
Invergarry teacher Birjit Rytter speaks with student Raniah Khorga. asked what she’ll do when the fees kick in. “Sometimes I don’t want to think about it.” Aaron Douglas, a teacher at Invergarry, sympathizes with his students. The school’s population, he explains, is not simply those who dropped out or didn’t try in high school, but includes people who may have suffered health issues or had learning disabilities and are working to improve marks. But he finds the funding cuts espe-
cially unfair for immigrants like Rahimyar, who graduated abroad. “I think it’s completely unjust to charge someone who graduated in Kenya or a third-world country,” Douglas says. “Even if they have graduated, their diploma isn’t recognized by the post-secondary institutions here. You’re basically trapping them and saying ‘well, if you can afford it, great, if you can’t, too bad.’” In Delta and Vancouver, fees for
the adult-education courses will be $550 each. The Surrey Board of Education has not yet set an amount but is scheduled to address the matter at the April 23 public board meeting. In making the announcement, Education Minister Peter Fassbender emphasized that as long as it’s an adult student’s first time finishing high school, nothing will change. “High school is free, but further upgrading is not,” Fassbender said. “I think it is reasonable to expect adults who’ve already graduated to contribute to these costs.” Rahimyar, however, still can’t understand why the government would put up barriers for those looking to improve their circumstances. If she studies, she says, she can get off income assistance. And that, she says, would make the future brighter for her daughters. “If I can’t get an education, which is everybody’s right, what is the hope for the next generation?”

Banners and placards were waved outside the temple during the prime ministers’ tour in Surrey.
Hundreds of protesters line street i from page 1 minister to Canada since 1973. The last Indian prime minister to visit was Indira Gandhi and she did not come to Western Canada. Not everyone welcomed Modi’s presence, however. A group of about 200 protesters waving banners and placards also gathered outside the temple during his visit. Critics have drawn attention to the deadly riots that took place in Gujarat, India more than a decade ago while Modi was a senior minister there. Several hundred people were killed as a result of rioting and police counter-activity. The violence was due to religious ten-
sions, with Hindus attacking Muslims and Sikhs. In 2012, Modi was cleared of complicity by a special investigation team appointed by the Supreme Court of India. This week, Canada and India signed several memoranda of understanding in a range of areas, including civil aviation, rail regulation, education and skills development, space co-operation, and projects focused on maternal, newborn and child health. Modi also announced that India will begin issuing visas upon arrival, which will make it easier for Canadians to travel to India. “With its expanding popula-
tion and impressive economic growth, India represents tremendous opportunities for Canadian companies,� Harper said. “But we have only begun to scratch the surface of our true commercial potential. That is why Prime Minister Modi and I were pleased by the scope and volume of bilateral initiatives and commercial agreements that took place during his visit. These initiatives will help to further strengthen our relations.� Earlier Thursday, Modi and Harper also visited the Ross Street Sikh Temple in Vancouver, where again, they were greeted by a crowd of both supporters and protesters.

Surrey files counterclaim to city hall lawsuit Kevin Diakiw Black Press
The City of Surrey has launched a counterclaim in response to lawsuits filed over the construction of Surrey City Hall in Whalley – a project that went both beyond deadline and over budget. For more than a year, lawsuits have been mounting against the City of Surrey and general contractor PCL Constructors Westcoast Inc. (PCL). The 180,000-sq.-ft. city hall was to be
complete by September 2013, but ran late by five months. It was then that liens on the property began to build. They were swiftly followed by lawsuits from the trades working on the project. In December 2014, PCL filed a Notice of Civil Claim in Supreme Court claiming it is owed $8.7 million above the $125 million the company has already been paid. (The city has long maintained it was a
$97-million project). Of the money it says it’s owed, PCL claims it cost $361,720 to make the unfinished city hall ready for the October, 2013 Mayor’s Charity Gala event. In this month’s response to the PCL claim, the city denies nearly all of the assertions made. In fact, none of the claims on either side have been proven in court. PCL is one in a long list of companies suing over the construction
of city hall. Zoran Vukelic, owner of Wolf Masonry Ltd., told Black Press in January that the project was a “nightmare for every party involved.” Ron Fettback, vicepresident of operations for Western Pacific Enterprises (WPE), said at the same time that his company, and others, have been treated poorly by the city. Fettback says he was made responsible for retrofitting the unfinished city hall so
it could be used for the mayor’s annual fundraising ball which took place Oct. 18, 2013. He said the work cost
him $90,000. “It’s completely unacceptable to do that,” Fettback said at the time. “If we’re having a dispute, let’s
resolve it in a fair and reasonable manner.” The issue is expected to wind its way through the courts for some time.

Sound advice
W
hite Rock council has certainly had a lot of business to conduct out of the public eye of late – the decision to abandon waste management for businesses and multifamily residences notable among them. Perhaps elected officials would be wise to heed the mayoral words spoken at an inauguration ceremony in White Rock some time ago. That mayor – apparently critical that the city held more in-camera meetings (24) that year than it did regular council meetings (22) – said: “Closed meetings remain a necessity, but will only be held if required. Moreover, the criteria for deciding if they are to be held will not be, ‘How can we take this in-camera?’ but rather, ‘Does this have to be in-camera?’” Current White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin cited the Community Charter last week when he refused to explain why he excluded one councillor from all committee appointments and from serving as deputy mayor, as the matter had been discussed in-camera. The city also cited the charter earlier this month when it refused a resident’s request to state the wording of the motion passed in-camera Dec. 15 that ended the aforementioned city garbage pickup. Instead, the city’s freedom-of-information clerk released a five-page redacted document that included only the names of attendees, the time the meeting was called to order – 3:03 p.m. – and the late arrival of two councillors (Bill Lawrence at 3:07, Grant Meyer at 3:09). In general terms, civic issues that are accepted to be discussed behind closed doors under the charter include personnel issues, land acquisitions, labour relations and ongoing and impending litigation. Given the current council’s apparent directive to suppress issues simply because they initially arose in-camera, it appears the full number of topics now discussed behind closed doors will never be made public. Peace Arch News asked Baldwin last week to ballpark the number of in-camera meetings held since his second term began nearly five months ago. “Three or four, something like that,” he replied. He underestimated by more than half, as the city clerk confirmed 10 in-camera meetings had been held – two in December and eight so far in 2015. For comparison, the City of Surrey held six in the same time period; the City of Vancouver, nine; and City of Langley, seven. White Rock’s leaders would do well to heed the spirit of the earlier mayor quoted above. For the record, that speech was delivered on Dec. 5, 2011. The speaker was former city manager Wayne Baldwin, about to begin his first term as mayor of White Rock.

property was declared surplus. Indeed, de Jong featured this property to promote the government’s plan to stimulate local economies with private-sector investment on unused land. The Surrey deal closed for $20.5 million on March 21, 2014, just days before the end of the fiscal year. NDP leader John Horgan pointed to an outside appraisal of $23.5 million, and an assessment for tax purposes of $27.2 million. The appraiser also recommended that the “highest and best use” for the Surrey land was to hold it until it had been rezoned for commercial, retail or office development. De Jong cited another big health property in Vancouver that sold for more than its appraised and assessed value. It’s only the actual market that determines worth, he insisted. But it’s now clear that these and perhaps other sales were done with arbitrary deadlines that had everything to do with the BC Liberals’ need to balance the books. When elections are a battle of sound bites, perception matters more than reality. It’s also worth recalling that the budget deficits prior to the 2013 election were largely a result of the B.C. government’s costly undoing of the harmonized sales tax, rather than the harsh forces of international finance. Surplus asset sales have a long tradition in B.C., where the government owns more than 90 per cent of all land. But after this round, full disclosure will be demanded.

Voters’ remorse Editor: It is easy to lose faith in governments at all levels in Canada. The White Rock council decision to make policy during an in-camera meeting regarding garbage pickup – affecting perhaps thousands of constituents – and not expect considerable political fallout is a little surprising. I do recall the garbage strike last year. I don’t recall any candidates campaigning on privatization of garbage pickup in the recent election. There appears to be two sides – to quote Mayor Wayne Baldwin – that “have moved from respectful democratic debate” (White Rock elected officials ‘threatened, harassed’, April 15). The decision to remove ‘no’ signs from public property by the City of Surrey – as they are apparently illegal, except during an election campaign (City of Surrey takes down ‘no’ signs, April 10)– reminds me of actions behind the Iron Curtain. Rather than make the policy to increase sales taxes, we get a referendum to vote for it or not. Then the government spends a lot of our tax money to promote the ‘yes’ side, but prohibits private money from promoting the ‘no’ side. Finally, the Supreme Court of Canada declares unconstitutional a minimum-sentence law for illegal loaded-gun possession, while there have been about 20 shootings in the Surrey/Delta area in recent weeks. In my admittedly biased view, I think that if the Constitutional rights of the gunslingers trumps public safety, our legal system should look a lot harder at the Constitution. In all my travels, I often reflect that Canada is the best country to be born in. I hope governments don’t change my mind in my lifetime. Bob Holden, White Rock Q The mayor of Surrey feels the removal of signs against the transit referendum is acceptable, even though it reflects badly on council. This action is not acceptable and it does more than show “poor optics.” It reveals a callous disregard of democracy. These signs were not paid for with public funds, unlike the ‘yes’ campaign run out of city hall. Mayor Hepner, you also stated you are not the sheriff. This is probably a good thing, as the actions against peaceful protest you support would undermine that authority. Michael Gibbs, Surrey
File photo
Surrey and White Rock voters express dissatisfaction with elected officials. Q I’ve been a supporter of White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin in the past, especially during his days as city manager. But I am extremely disappointed at the way council has rammed through its policy on multi-unit garbage collection. Civic governments should never make major policy decisions behind closed doors. In-camera meetings are to allow fulsome discussion on such things as the awarding of contracts and human-resource issues. But the basic policy decision to hand over an essential service to the private sector must be debated in an open forum and be subject to public scrutiny. What on earth were members of council thinking… if at all? With all the negatives associated with council’s ill-advised decision, may I add a couple more: How is it responsible to have multiple contractors in multiple diesel garbage trucks roaming the back alleys of White Rock and shuffling garbage back and forth across South Surrey – not to mention the incessant noise? And what sort of controls are in place to ensure all garbage is disposed of safely? Paul Griffin, White Rock Q It took two excellent editorials, in The Now and Peace Arch News, to finally get a peep out of Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner (I’ve had enough of this: Hepner, April 15). It also took 20 stabbings and shootings to wake up a mayor who is obviously much more concerned about her image in the not-so-white tower – a.k.a. city hall – and is as persistently persuasive as a mosquito to get us all to vote ‘yes or else’. Surely the vast majority knows we are years behind in having adequate public transportation in this growing city. But Hepner did not realize a ‘yes’ vote would be easily acquired if the yet-another-top-up tax had not been in there, as we’ve all had enough of
the excessive taxes we already pay. She is far from being creative enough to come up with another form of payment for what we need here in Surrey but tries to cover up her lack of a plan B by bullying us into the ‘yes’ vote or we’ll get punished by a raise in property taxes. Too busy with her tunnelTransLink vision, she ignores the safety of the city she is supposed to ‘reign’ over and not until not one but two editors really spelled it out to her did she become aware that it’s the Queen herself, not her regents, the RCMP, who must reassure the people that things are under control. As it is, many people have not been feeling all that safe in Surrey for quite some time, and the mayor should not sigh “isn’t that just beyond comprehension,” but actually be seen in action, with the RCMP, with the premier and with anybody she thinks might put a swift end to all this old Chicago-style drug war insanity. M.M. Keij, Surrey Q In films, when the citizens of Small Town, Anywhere unite, speak eloquently and passionately about a heartfelt community issue, officials heed popular opinion, see the error of their ways and accede to their citizens’ wishes. Not in White Rock. Instead, our council ignores the reasoned appeals of its citizens, attempting to mollify them with expensive unsought fripperies. Somehow the one councillor who agrees with the populace is marginalized (Mayor mum on deputy position, April 17). What will citizens do to ameliorate this egregious behaviour? We will watch. We will wait. When necessary, we will speak. And as the behemoth trucks, in great numbers, roll through our fair city, we will remember. Yes, we will remember. That is a promise. Theresa Reilkoff, White Rock Q
While the Surrey First regime ramps up into damage-control mode once more, massaging the optics, what is the reality of Surrey life here in our neighbourhoods? It feels like a war zone like Chicago in the 1920s. And the protagonists are: the peasants (residents who will pay all the outstanding costs of this mayhem for a very long time); the elected rulers (Surrey First, upon whose care and wisdom we depend); and the battling warlords (those among our developers who follow no rules and care only how much cash they can extract in the briefest possible time). Why focus on them, and not the gangs actually doing the shooting? Because I believe it is the insane pace of neighbourhood disruption that has destroyed the strong communities that produced a healthy culture for raising good kids. Surrey has used a scorched-earth policy to replace such communities with super-dense warehousing of families without factors necessary to a good neighbourhood culture. They ignored planning practices that insist on schools, plentiful green space, tree preservation, community gardens, public squares and good public transit – ahead of gridlock, not after! What happened to community policing? I understand it’s a good way to keep kids out of gangs. But Surrey says we can’t afford these things. Seems to me, you can pay one way, or pay another. So who is running this show? Not residents. Without engaged citizens – both being heard, and seeing results – democracy can’t be found; it hides in a corner ducking bullets. Alisa Wilson, Surrey Q The City of Surrey is contributing $300,000 towards the regional total of $7 million which is to be spent on advertising to try to persuade voters to agree to give TransLink even more money (Surrey earmarks up to $300,000 for ‘yes’, Feb. 17). Is this a case of politicians claiming to know what is best for us ignorant or uninformed voters? Frankly, I am annoyed and disappointed that you, Mayor Linda Hepner, would spend taxpayers’ money in this manner. It is not what we expect of our elected politicians. May I remind you that this is a referendum to find out what voters want. Local government officials have a responsibility to wait for the people to speak and then act in accordance with their wishes – and not to try to influence their vote. Until TransLink demonstrates that they practise good corporate governance and are fiscally responsible, I, for one, am not prepared to give them another cent. Ken Harrap, Surrey

Drawing a crowd More than 300,000 people packed the streets for this year’s Vaisakhi Festival in Surrey. Held Saturday, the festival – the largest of its kind outside of India – featured a parade, speeches, food and more, to mark the Punjabi new year and the harvest festival in the Punjab region of India.

Students disciplined for circulating photos Sheila Reynolds Black Press
A dozen students at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary in Surrey have been disciplined for allegedly circulating inappropriate photos of others at the school. According to Doug Strachan, communications manager for the Surrey School District, a student reported to school officials this week that some students had suggestive photos of girls at the school. “School and district officials began an investigation and police have been notified,” said Strachan, adding the
discipline involved both boys and girls in Grade 11 and 12. He couldn’t say whether the students were suspended or expelled, citing privacy concerns. “It’s certainly unfortunate for the students involved,” Strachan said, “but also that a handful or so students of almost 2,000 at Lord Tweedsmuir can bring this kind of attention to the school when there have been many examples of very positive student initiatives and actions supporting their community in and outside of the school.”

Elgin Park club designs Earth Day-inspired T-shirts
Student entrepreneurs ‘leading change’ Alex Browne

Staff Reporter
hen you’re selling a product, marketing is everything, even when there’s a good cause behind it. That’s why the traditional green T-shirts worn on Earth Day got a revamp for today’s event, thanks to business education students at Elgin Park Secondary. The school’s Business Executives Club’s current international competitions team – led by Alison Bogar and James Ding, and including members Shen Lai, Lexi Reimer and technical support expert Vincent Tang – have created the Earth Shirt, which has sold this month at the school’s store. “It’s all part of having a product that people need, but also producing something that people want,” said business education department head Jay Mundi, noting this year’s team were semi-finalists at a recent entrepreneurship contest in Washington, D.C.

Total health Too much exposure without safety measures can cause damage
Protect skin, eyes from sun this summer I
t’s about this time of year – extending into late spring and summer, of course – that people start getting outside more often, enjoying the weather and all the Semiahmoo Peninsula has to offer. And while there are myriad benefits to spending time outdoors in the sunshine, it’s still important to be aware of the negative effects of sun exposure. Ultra-violet (UV) rays from the sun can have all types of damaging effects – including sunburns, eye damage, premature skin aging and even skin cancer. However, there’s much we can do to prevent such problems, including many easy preventative measures. For starters, make sure you are covered up when outside – wear light-coloured, long-sleeve shirts, and pants rather than shorts (though that can be a problem during warmer weather). As well, be sure to cover your head with a wide-brimmed hat. Sunglasses are also essential to protect your eyes from harmful
rays – and make sure they provide protection against both UVA and UVB rays. When it comes to your skin, a goodquality sunscreen is of the utmost importance, as is using skincare products – like moisturizer – that include UV protection. There are also many other products that can correct, or prevent, dark spots and wrinkles caused by exposure to the sun. “Like fingerprints, we are all unique, and so is the care our skin requires… (we all) have different concerns and specific care needs,” said Ildiko Sramaty of Femme & Homme Boutique and Spa in White Rock. When you spend time outdoors in warmer weather, it’s also easy to become dehydrated, so be sure to drink plenty of cool liquids – preferably water – if you are outside for any length of time. And, no matter what precautions you take, the most important sunsafety tip is to simply limit your time in the sun.

Music soothes the soul E ver have one of those down, uninspired moments when you switch on the radio and suddenly your foot is tapping out a rhythm and your spirits are lifted by a favourite song? In a word, it’s therapy. According to the Music Therapy Association of B.C., the therapeutic effects of music on mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health have been known “since the beginning of time.� Beneficial to all cultures and ages – ailing or not – music can help someone express themselves, calm a racing heart and even help manage pain. The Canadian Association of Music Therapy describes music therapy as “the skillful use of music and musical elements by an accredited music therapist to promote, maintain, and restore mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health.� According to MTABC, its uses are virtually boundless. Research has shown music therapy can distract women from the pain of childbirth and help calm an anxious newborn. It can help

Belief in the healing powers of music led to the formation of the Music Heals Charitable Foundation, a Vancouverbased non-profit that supports music-therapy services across the country – in children’s hospitals, seniors’ centres and more.
According to information online, in 2013, Music Heals donated $100,000 to increase access to music therapy at facilities including BC Children’s Hospital and the burn unit at Vancouver General Hospital.

Backache, blurred vision among problems caused by extended periods of screen time
Total health
Prolonged computer use poses health risks W
hile a lot of attention has been focused on Internet addiction as a downside of using computers and other devices – such as hand-held media – the prevalence of computers at work sites means that many of us, even through exclusively work-related activity, may be prey to computer-related health issues. We’re inclined to forget that staring at a screen for long periods without a break, and continued use of keyboard and computer ‘mouse’ can contribute to longterm computer-related health issues. Frequently ❝The highobserved symptoms energy blue of prolonged light generated computer use include backache, by computers headaches, increases the weight risk of macular significant gain or loss, sleep degeneration.❞ disturbances, carpal Dr. Michelle Elliott tunnel syndrome, Spectrum Optometry and blurred or strained vision. According to evengrounds.com, a website devoted to making computer software and hardware available to people with disabilities, we all need to be vigilant about computer-related health issues, and take steps to minimize negative effects. To combat such problems as carpal tunnel syndrome in which the median nerve – which controls hand and finger functions – becomes compressed within a tunnel in your wrist, type gently on the keyboard and avoid pounding, and practise holding the mouse lightly and not gripping it too tightly.
Thinkstock
Too much time spent working on a computer can lead to a variety of health complications. We also need to rest our hands after 20-30 minutes of typing, and rising and taking a short walk around the office or outside – and general consciousness of typing posture – can counteract back strain as a result of slumping in front of the computer. But, in many ways, it’s our eyesight that should be of greatest concern, as we examine the harmful effects of prolonged computer use.
We use our eyes for just about every computer task, yet we often fail to register that reading text on the screen is far more strenuous than reading the same material in printed, hard-copy form. When we look at a monitor for more than two hours at a time, it can result in painful eyestrain. But there are worse things to worry about than that, according to Dr. Michelle Elliott
of South Surrey’s Spectrum Optometry. “Eyestrain is just a comfort issue, not a health issue,” she said. “Most people believe computer use causes near-sightedness, but that’s been disproven. “It’s the high-energy blue light generated by computers that increases the risk of macular degeneration – which is the leading cause of blindness in seniors.” It’s people under 50 who are most at risk, or those who have had cataract surgery, she said, as the development of cataracts as we grow older actually shields us from the blue light. High energy blue light is generated by all digital devices, she added. “It’s desktops, laptops, iPads – they’re all the same,” she said, noting that current statistics show that 60 per cent of people spend more than six hours at a time in front of a digital device. “Manufacturers are working on ways to reduce the blue light in their products – but they don’t look as nice.” Fortunately, technology developed over the last two years has led to the development of a range of coatings for prescription lenses, and even protective eyewear options for those who don’t need corrective lenses, she said. In most cases the new coatings are around a $30 upgrade on existing lens coatings, Elliott said. The other good news is that new lenses have been developed for use with digital media that do away with old bi-focal or progressive options, and there are also new options available for stopping nearsightedness, she said.

Small steps for success B y now, the benefits of exercise are no surprise to anyone. It’s as important as ever to live an active, healthy life. And now, with the weather improving, more and more people will likely lace up their sneakers and hit the pavement for a run. And while running or walking has plenty of health benefits – whether you’re looking to shed a few pounds or simply get out to enjoy some fresh air – there are still precautions one should take to avoid injury. For starters, making sure you have proper footwear is key. Wearing the wrong type of shoes for your foot and running style can lead to injuries such as achilles tendonitis, ankle sprains, blisters, muscle pulls and strains, runner’s knee, plantar fasciitis (heel pain) and shin splints. Such injuries – even minor – can quickly set you back, and cause you to give up your new running regimen. “The first step for anyone should be to learn the right way to do something, whether it’s training, or a sport or what have you,” fitness trainer and TV personality Tom Europe told Black Press last month. “You don’t want to get hurt. That’s the easiest way to derail someone’s plans to get in shape. If you end up doing something and get hurt right away, you’re going to quit, and the excuse is going to be “Oh, well I tried it and I got hurt.” To make sure you’re wearing the right shoe for you, go into a running specialty store – such as Peninsula Runners in South Surrey – and ask a salesperson to evaluate your running style and foot type. Other problems that often plague runners – especially new runners – is trying to do

Proper footwear is key when it comes to preventing running-related injuries. too much, too soon. It’s a mistake to assume that “more is better” – take your time, start small and build up your stamina and distances over time. Even start by walking first, to ease into your new routine. It’s also important to listen to your body. Be sure to notice your body’s aches and pains, and stop your run if pain worsens. On that note, it’s also important to give your body time to heal, so don’t ignore rest days. On average, giving your body at least one day per week free of exercise is a good guideline. The break – when combined with the other tips – will ensure you stay healthy and safe while out pounding the pavement.

Overweight youth face physical, psychological problems
Childhood obesity rates on the rise in Canada M
any adults are aware of the negative health effects brought on by being overweight or obese, such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure. Children who carry excess weight are also at risk, and the problem of childhood obesity in Canada is steadily growing. According to results from Statistics Canada’s 2009 to 2011 Canadian Health Measures Survey, 31.5 per cent – almost one third – of five-to 17-year-olds are classified as overweight or obese. That number is nearly three times what it was 30 years ago, according to Health Canada. Overweight youth are at risk of cardiovascular disease, such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure, as well as prediabetes, bone and joint problems, sleep apnea and social and psychological problems. While a small percentage of overweight and obese youth suffer from a genetic

Too much screen time is one reason many youth are overweight in Canada. disease or hormone disorder that contribute to their weight problems, the majority do not. The consumption of too many processed, high-fat foods and sugary drinks like pop and juice is a major contributing factor, as well as kids spending too much time in front of the TV or computer. Getting kids to engage in more physical activity on a daily basis is an important
element of battling childhood obesity. Carolyn Collins, owner of South Surrey Crossfit, runs a fitness program designed for kids and teens, and said the benefits of getting youth involved in fitness at an early age are plentiful. “It helps them with their self confidence, that’s the number-one thing,” Collins said. “It also helps with their athletics, it helps them to fit in with their peer group better. And they’re able to study harder after doing physical activity.” According to the Childhood Obesity Foundation, parents should follow four basic steps to help kids achieve and maintain a healthy weight. The first is to eat a minimum of five fruits and vegetables per day, the second is to limit screen time (TV or video games) to two hours or less per day, the third is to encourage at least one hour of physical activity and the fourth step is to eliminate all sugarsweetened beverages.

South Surrey artist to speak about destruction of horse sculpture
Lessons learned from vandalism
Contributed photo
Marilyn Dyer-Seidel (second from left) with Tattoo.
A South Surrey artist whose horse sculpture, Tattoo, was torn apart by vandals says the incident is a lesson on bullying. Marilyn Dyer-Seidel plans to share that lesson Saturday (April 25) at White Rock Community Centre. Tattoo, a life-sized fibreglass statue, was targeted twice in Langley’s Brookswood Park (at 200 Street and 40 Avenue) – decapitated, chopped off at the hooves and left lying on the ground. Dyer-Seidel turned the experience into a book. “Tattoo addresses an ugly and
very disturbing problem in modern society,� she said in a press release. “I wanted to start a conversation between children, their parents and the community about bullying.� Bullying has been identified among school-aged children and young adults as having the potential to lead to serious, lasting problems for kids who are bullied and those who bully others. Saturday’s discussion – hosted by the Canadian Federation of University Women White Rock/Surrey Club – is set for 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the White Rock Community Centre, 15154 Russell Ave. – Tracy Holmes

Untreated hearing loss tied to lower earning potential Maximizing one’s ability to hear well should be part of any smart career strategy. Individual performance in an organization is found to be directly related to listening ability or perceived listening effectiveness. In fact, listening is one of the top skills employers seek in entry-level employees and in those being promoted. People who both hear and listen well are also more likely to establish positive working relationships with bosses, clients, and colleagues. An alarming new study by the Better Hearing Institute (BHI) reveals a direct correlation between unaddressed hearing loss and earnings.

The study underscores how critically important it is for workers to treat hearing loss early in order to maximize their job performance and earning potential. According to Sergei Kochkin, PhD, author of the study: “The real tragedy in delaying hearing loss treatment is that when left unaddressed, hearing loss negatively affects individuals and their families for the rest of their lives in the form of lost wages, lost promotions, lost opportunities, lost retirement income, and unrealized dreams. But when people with even mild hearing loss use hearing aids, they improve their job performance, increase their earning potential, enhance their communication skills, improve their professional land interpersonal relationships, stave off depression, and improve their quality of life.â€?

Tuscan Developments’ Villa del Sol Ponente renovation was a year-long project that changed the exterior facade and took advantage of the home’s stunning Crescent Beach location. Photo supplied by Tuscan Developments
A taste of Italy with Tuscan Developments By Kerry Vital
There’s a touch of Italian luxury in Crescent Beach, thanks to Tuscan Developments and its president, Mark Peers. Their recent renovation takes advantage of a fantastic location to create a home that’s perfect for a family, and unrecognizable from the original home. Peers purchased the existing house, built in 1975, because he saw it as a “wonderful opportunity” to create something beautiful. “The home had great bones,” he says. “Everything was in excellent shape. This saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars by using the existing house.” The $2-million renovation, which changed both the layout and the exterior facade, took a year from beginning to end, and later sold for over $5 million after the house was completed. Peers calls the home Villa del Sol Ponente, which means House of the Sinking Sun in Italian. It’s an appropriate name. “From the kitchen you look through French doors over the infinity pool and to the ocean,” he says. Sunsets are never in the short supply through the huge windows, and the homeowners
are able to take advantage of unrestricted 180-degree views of the Pacific ocean to the west and the surrounding forest to the east. The original home didn’t take advantage of these surroundings. “It was designed for an urban lot that was built looking inward instead of outward,” says Peers. “We focused on the ocean and brought it into the home.” Peers and his team removed all of the interior walls from the main floor of the home, and created a seamless open floor plan. “We put in major steel beams to support the second floor after we removed the walls from the main floor,” he says. “This house had too many bedrooms, so we removed the bedroom above the living room and created 20-foot ceilings. It enabled us to place large windows above the new French doors.” Light now pours into the home through those large windows, and the doors open onto the pool and garden area. “I love the layout; it’s just to die for,” says Peers. “From the kitchen, the living room is on the left and a kids’ playroom is on the right with a fireplace and doors that open onto the pool. It means the family can all be together without being on top of each other.” The original family room is now called the Arizona Room, after Peers removed the exterior wall and replaced it with an Eclipse Moving Wall that can open up completely to the outside. It holds an indoor fire pit that can be used for barbecues year-
round, and has direct access to the pool and hot tub. The kitchen, now moved to the centre of the home, is seriously spectacular, with granite flooring and marble countertops. Peers and his team also added a spice kitchen off the main kitchen. “The spice kitchen is where the action happens!” says Peers. There is also a wine cellar and huge pantry that blends seamlessly with style of the elegant kitchen. The main floor also features a stunning powder room, which was integral to the renovation. “The powder room is the most important room in the house,” Peers says. “When people come over, they form an opinion of you and your home from looking at the powder room. This one … is really beautiful.” Another important room is the laundry room, which Peers notes is integral to the successful running of the house when you have a family. “You spend half your life in there!” he says. Now, the no-longer-utilitarian laundry room has plenty of space for sorting, folding and ironing, as well as tons of storage. The beauty continues upstairs. With the removal of some of the floors upstairs to create the 20-foot ceilings in the living area, Peers was able to create a floating walkway that adds to the incredible sense of space in the home.

“ from page. Every bedroom now has ocean views, a walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom. The master bathroom in particular is gorgeous. “The old bathroom was horrid,” Peers says. “It was a 1976 shagadelic pink bathroom with no windows.” Now, the master bath has a huge window beside the soaker tub that overlooks the ocean, dual vanities and a large luxurious shower. The low-ceilinged, dark basement below the living room has become a home theatre with eight-foot ceilings after Peers raised the floor above. There is also a Tuscan-style bar and French doors that lead to the garden. Outside, the pool required a foundation that would cradle the pool six feet in the air. Peers then built the pool around it to create the infinity style. Villa del Sol Ponente is now a treasured family home, perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. “The reason you want to renovate is because you want your home to be the place you want to come home to,” Peers says. “You want it to embrace your lifestyle and reflect you. You want it to be the space where you feel most comfortable and happy.” When it comes to choosing a renovator for your home, Peers recommends that the homeowner speak to past clients. “We always ask our clients if we can show the home and have an open house,” he says. “That way future customers can talk to the owners and ask questions. Our modus operandi is to introduce future customers to old customers.” He also notes that homeowners should never rush into a renovation. “The more time you spend planning and organizing, the less it will cost you and the happier you will be,” Peers says. A renovation, no matter how large, is a major change to your home and your life, and trusting the person doing the renovation is an integral part of keeping your sanity at the end of the day. Peers and his team want to ensure that the process is as painless as possible. “All of our customers become friends of mine,” he says. “We love them, and we love what we do.”outdoor dining terrace and covered lounge.
The level above is a private haven with three bedrooms. The master bedroom has its own dressing room and luxurious ensuite. The top level has another bedroom, as well as a sitting room, library, play room and laundry room. Teragon also expanded the basement of the home, from half crawl space and half basement to a basement with 10-foot ceilings throughout. That basement now holds a games room, home theatre, wine cellar and gym, making the home an entertainer’s paradise. The home has plenty of heritage-style touches, such as walnut panelling and flooring laid in a herringbone pattern. The bronzed railing on the sweeping staircase was inspired by an art noveau railing from Brussels, Belgium, and was hand-forged. Custom millwork, five fireplaces, custom stained glass and natural stone elements are just a few of the other luxurious aspects of The Mayfair. Van Linge himself is a journeyman carpenter, noting that he enjoys bringing those old-fashioned elements to his work. “Something that sets us apart is our eye for detail,” he says. “You can’t execute these kinds of ideas without being able to see the (small) details.”
Photos supplied by Tuscan Developments
The home’s main floor now has an open-plan layout and elegant kitchen (above left and top). Peers and his team also built a Tuscan-style bar in the basement (above).
The renovations were completed last year and the owner has since sold the home, but Van Linge and his team are still involved with the new owners, assisting them with the operations of the house. “We’re still working with them to maintain and service the exterior paint and the HVAC system, for example,” says Van Linge.

Bringing the spa home By Kerry Vital Spending a few relaxing hours at a spa might not be an option for you on a regular basis, but it doesn’t have to be when your own bathroom can take you away from it all at the end of a long day. “If a consumer is looking to create a spa-like bathroom experience, a custom shower or vertical spa is a great place to start,” says Garry Scott, vice-president of wholesale marketing and brand development for Moen Canada. “It allows the homeowner to personalize the shower to meet their needs. Everyone has personal preferences for their shower, from finding the perfect water pressure to temperature, down to the scent of the soap.” Before you can bring the spa home, you need to do a bit of research. “When a consumer is shopping for a new shower solution, they should consider what’s most important to them and how they use their shower on a daily basis,” Scott notes. “If a consumer is looking to create a spa-like experience for their bath, than they might opt for a vertical spa that features a rain shower, hand shower and multiple body sprays.” A free-standing soaker tub might be another option for homeowners looking for a bit of relaxation. It can be easy to while away the hours in a warm, deep tub and let the stresses soak away. There are several options on the market for such a tub, from the classic iron clawfoot to a modern fibreglass square or oval shape. “We are seeing modern designs, now more than ever,” Scott says. “Even our bath safety products are becoming more stream-lined.” Bath safety products such as grab bars might not be top of mind when you’re looking to build your own spa-like bathroom, but they’re an important consideration if you’re planning to stay in your home in the long-term. Another consideration is the environment, and this doesn’t have to fall by the wayside in your luxurious space. “If conserving water is important to a homeowner, they should look for Watersense-labeled fixtures,” says Scott. “A typical shower head uses 2.5 gallons of water per minute (9.5

litres), while a Watersense-labeled shower head operates at 2 gallons per minute (7.6 litres). Since a typical family uses about 80 gallons of water per day in the shower and bathroom, this can equate to big savings.” A relaxing bathroom needs to be an uncluttered space, meaning storage is an important aspect to consider as well. Where will you keep the towels, toiletries and assorted sundries? A proper bathroom vanity, whether it has one or two sinks, will keep everything in its place without marring the clean and streamlined effect that you’re looking for in a spa-like bathroom. If a freestanding sink is more your style, consider built-in cabinetry in other areas of the bathroom, or utilize wire racking as an unobtrusive way to hold what’s necessary. The key to any great bathroom is in the details, whether it’s
the storage or the fixtures. There is no better way to find your style than spending some time browsing the Internet, home decor magazines or speaking to a professional. A bathroom renovation can be one of the more extensive (and expensive) renovations to a home, so Scott recommends that a plumber be involved in any large renovation. “Once a homeowner has discovered a tub or shower system that interests them, it’s important to seek out a plumber that’s familiar with the products, and who will work with them to design a system that fits their needs,” he says. Whether your style is clean, streamlined and modern, or elegant and traditional, a spa-like bathroom will surely be an important element of your home, one that will give you pleasure for years to come.

Experts walk the talk on safe digging caused by third parties such as construction crews, contractors and homeowners. The vast majority of those incidents could be prevented by calling BC One Call and following safe digging procedures. If you do happen to damage a natural gas line, you could be on the hook for costly repairs. “Once you have the information about underground utilities, take time to look at the map and if you have some questions we’re here to help,� said Ian Turnbull, damage prevention and emergency services manager at FortisBC.
Even the experts call before they dig When a group of FortisBC gas operations managers and supervisors volunteered to plant trees and shrubs at Kelowna’s Rotary Marsh, they made sure to call BC One Call before they put any shovels in the ground. Chris Hyland, FortisBC regional manager, Interior south, said the crew knew to call BC One Call a few days before doing the work to ensure they had enough time to receive and review information about underground utilities in the area. “When you work around FortisBC utility lines regularly, it becomes second nature to call before you dig,� said Hyland, who is also president of BC One Call. “But getting the information is just the first step. It’s just as important to make sure you understand that information and then follow safe digging practices, like start with hand digging when you know you’re working near underground utilities.� The FortisBC employees received the location information of any underground utilities in the area – including natural gas and electricity lines– and clearly marked them before planting in the marsh. Only then did they start digging holes to plant ponderosa pine, dogwood, sumac, choke cherry, willow and snowberry, helping to restore the downtown wetland to its natural state.
Call before you dig Whether you’re installing a fence or doing landscaping, always call or click BC One Call before you dig and they’ll notify the member utility companies, including FortisBC. Then, the utilities will provide you with line location information for free. t Call or click: BC One Call at 1-800-474-6886, cellular *6886 or click bconecall.ca. t Review: Within two days, you will receive location information. Review it before you begin digging. t Clarify: If you’re still not sure where to dig, or don’t understand the information, ask FortisBC for help at 1-888-822-6555.
National Safe Digging Month April is Safe Digging Month, a time to help educate and increase awareness about knowing what’s below ground before you start digging. FortisBC historically experiences a spike in the number of calls to repair damage to underground utility lines in the springtime with the start of construction season and homeowners starting their landscaping projects. Ninety-nine per cent of damage to the natural gas system is

Never guess where it’s safe to dig. Learn more at fortisbc.com/digsafe. FortisBC employees called BC One Call to find out where underground utilities were located in Kelowna’s Rotary Marsh. For safety’s sake, they did this before planting trees and putting up fences. Photos supplied by Fortis BC

Premier Baseball League squad drops to 1-5 after winning just once on weekend
Tritons waiting for offence to heat up Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
It’s too early in the season for White Rock Tritons’ coach Russ Smithson to be overly concerned about his baseball team, but a few wins would go a long way, nonetheless. The Tritons – coming off a season that saw them make the BC Premier Baseball League playoffs for the first time since 2009 – lost three of four games at home to the Okanagan Athletics on the weekend, and currently sit with a 1-5 record through the first two weeks of the season. On Saturday, the two clubs split a doubleheader – the Athletics won the opener 2-0, and White Rock won the nightcap 4-3 – and the Athletics swept both games Sunday, by 4-2 and 12-4 scores. “It was a tough offensive weekend for us,” Smithson said. “We only scored in four of the 28 innings we played, so that was frustrating. We just couldn’t get a hit with a guy on base – we couldn’t get a hit when we needed one. And if we can’t get some timely hitting here, we aren’t going to win too many games.” That said, the Tritons were playing without two middle-ofthe-order bats – catcher Thomas Vincent and first baseman Tom Melenchuk are both out with injuries – and it does sometimes take hitters longer than pitchers to find a groove early in the season. As well, the Tritons’ first two opponents this year – the Athletics, plus the Langley Blaze – are both among the PBL’s elite squads. “It’ll come around, it’s still early,” Smithson said. “Six games is a chunk of the season, but there’s still a lot of games left, so we’ll have to battle back and win a couple, but there’s no easy wins in this league.” Despite winning just once in four games, Smithson was impressed by the play of a pair of players, namely reserve outfielder/pitcher Liam Mitchell. In Game 1 Saturday, Mitchell pitched two innings in relief of starter Saylor Gray – striking out three – and in the second game, he played right field, going 2-for-3 at the plate with a run-batted-in (RBI) and a run scored.

“Liam was our best player on the weekend,” Smithson said. “He came into the season sort of as a role player for us, but he got the chance to play Saturday and took advantage.”
The coach was also impressed with the play of catcher Graydon Rasmussen, who hit a pair of doubles and was behind the plate for three of the four contests, in the absence of the injured Vincent.
In the Tritons’ win Saturday, Keaton Edwards was the pitcher of record, striking out eight while allowing just three hits and two earned-runs over five innings of work. Anthony Aiello and Barry Caine pitched an inning each in relief, to cement the victory. While the first three games of the weekend were all close, Sunday’s 12-4 loss to close out the schedule was something of an outlier – which Smithson pinned, at least somewhat, on a tired and overworked pitching staff. “It took us a few more pitchers (than planned) to get through the first three games, so come Game 4, we were pretty gassed in the bullpen,” he said. “But Okanagan is also a very good team, so give them credit.”

The Tritons played Tuesday night against the Coquitlam Reds – the game was played after Peace Arch News’ press deadlines – and the squad will look to add to its win total again Sunday, when they host the North Shore Twins for a pair of games at South Surrey Athletic Park. The first game starts at noon, with the second set for 2:30 p.m. Smithson expected to have Vincent back in the lineup, but suggested Melenchuk was still doubtful to return. “I can’t wait to get (Vincent) back into the lineup. He’s our number three or four hitter, so he’ll really help,” he said. “Hopefully we can start getting some wins here. We need some, there’s no doubt about that.”

Tyson Cerrato wins third title in row
White Rock swimmer qualifies for major events this summer
Gymnast wins gold Caldwell makes cut for Pan-Ams South Surrey resident Treyson Cerrato has captured his third consecutive all-around gold medal at the B.C. Gymnastics Championships at Capilano University in North Vancouver. Cerrato, 13, competed in the Provincial 5 category and had the best score on parallel bars. He also won a silver medal on pommel horse, rings and high bar, and was fourth on floor and fifth on vault. One of three all-around champions from the Surrey Gymnastics Society, Cerrato was also the overall gold medallist last year in Kamloops in the Elite 4 category, and in 2013 in Prince George in the Provincial 4 group. Emanuel Gutierrez Sandoval, 11, won the all-around gold in the Elite
3 category, with gold medals on rings and parallel bars, silver on floor and bronze on pommel horse, vault and high bar. Brady Reeleder of Surrey captured the provincial championship in the Provincial 3 (10-and-under) group. The SGS member had high scores on pommel horse and vault, won silver on rings and high bar, and was fourth on floor and parallel bars. Completing the list of male gymnasts from SGS at the provincials was Timofey Azhogin of Surrey. The 12-year-old won an all-around bronze medal after achieving runnerup scores on pommel horse and vault, winning bronze on rings and placing sixth on floor and parallel bars.
White Rock swimmer Hilary Caldwell has two big swim meets on her summer schedule, after qualifying at Canadian swim trials in Toronto earlier this month. At trials, Caldwell, who competed at at the 2012 Olympics in London, placed second in both the 100-m and 200-m backstroke events, which was enough to qualify her for the Pan-American Games and FINA World Championships. The Pan-Ams are slated for July 10-26 in Toronto, while the world championships
will be held July 24-Aug. 9 in Kazan, Russia. In the 200-m swim, Caldwell – a member of the Pacific Sea Wolves Swim Club who now lives inVictoria – was three seconds off her personal-best time of 2:09.53, which she achieved in 2013 when she won bronze at world championships. “In the end, all I needed was to get on the teams,” she said. “But I definitely wanted to be a lot faster.” – Nick Greenizan

TRAVEL OBITUARIES 74
GIBSON, David (Scotty) October 4, 1935 - April 16, 2015
Dave was born on October 4, 1935, in Inchture, Scotland and passed away at his home in Courtenay, BC on April 16, 2015 surrounded by his family, as per his wishes. Dave’s early years were spent in Dundee, Scotland, where he met and married the love of his life, Molly (Bunty) Campbell. Dave and Bunty welcomed four children, all born in Dundee, before immigrating to Canada in 1968. The young family settled and built a life in White Rock over the next 38 years. Dave was well known in the community for his entrepreneurial spirit; applying a strong work ethic with every new challenge and always adapting to new adventures without hesitation. Dave was well respected, and perhaps best known for his ability to cultivate relationships, which would often result in long-lasting friendships. He was a “hands on” mentor and teacher to many, and offered his skills liberally in support of countless volunteer groups and organizations. Always good-natured, he would share his blessings with others whenever an opportunity arose to contribute his particular gifts without expectation. Throughout his life Dave strove to improve any task or job he was given while always encouraging all those around him to do their very best too. Much of his success in life was because he welcomed many a challenge with a positive attitude and unflinching desire to enhance the experience for everyone involved. Simply put, he was a loving and easy man to be around. In more recent years, Dave and Bunty relocated to the Comox Valley, where Dave continued to be highly involved in the community, particularly with Habitat for Humanity. Above all, Dave was well regarded as a kind and patient man, whose passion for his family, countless cherished friends and dreams leaves a legacy of loving memories for all those who knew Dave “Scotty” Gibson. Dave was predeceased by his brother (Frank), mother (Jean), father (David) and brother (James). He is survived by his loving wife (Bunty), their children: David (Barb), Debbie (Tim), Dean (George), Dale (Brett), grandchildren, great grandchildren and his sisters Joan and Freda, still residing in Scotland. The family would like to thank all those who contributed to the care of Dave during his illness including: Dr. R Potter-Cogan, Dr. P Camacho and medical day-care nurses at St. Joseph’s. In lieu of flowers, the family encourages donations to Habitat for Humanity in Dave’s memory. A short service will be held at Christ the King Catholic Church (1599 Turner Drive, Courtenay, BC) at 11:00 am on Saturday, April 25th with a Celebration of Life to follow at 12:30 pm at the Griffin Pub (1185 Kilmorley Road, Comox, BC.)
