City-ordered work divides community along White Rock’s waterfront
Bluff clearcut catches many off guard Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
White Rock residents were shocked to see the extent of “vegetation clearing� on the Marine Drive bluff last week, expressing anger and disbelief at the clearcutting of the hillside. Several residents called Peace Arch News and took to social media last week to express their disappointment after work began to remove trees, shrubs and other vegetation
along the ‘hump,’ work the city said was for “maintaining slope stability, increasing line of sight and eradicating invasive species.� Historically, any such work in the area has been contentious. Critics this year speculated that the clearing work was actually done to improve the views of Marine Drive residents along the stretch of waterfront, from the pier to Johnston Road. “It just doesn’t make any sense to me,� said
David Ludwar, a Columbia Avenue resident. “There’s got to be some other motivation in terms of why they’ve done what they’ve done.� Not everyone was disappointed with the work, however. In an email to PAN Thursday morning, resident Peter Dunik said the work opened up “gorgeous and inviting views of the pier, bay and rock for everyone.� i see page 2

Woman enabled attack
3 years for role in home invasion Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A woman who facilitated a violent home invasion in South Surrey last year was sentenced Wednesday to three years in prison for her role. Prior to learning her punishment, Dixie Lee White told Surrey Provincial Court Judge James Sutherland that she blamed her actions on a drug-use relapse. “Obviously, this isn’t something I would do clean and sober, so I would like an opportunity to get my life back together,� White told the court. “I don’t think the best place to recover is in jail.� White, 29, was one of three people arrested following the June 22 earlymorning beating and robbery of a resident in the 15200-block of 36 Avenue. One of the victim’s dogs was also injured in the incident. The court heard that White had attended a home in the area after responding to an online request for an escort and arranging by text message to meet the resident. Shortly after arriving by taxi, White asked to use the 36-year-old resident’s washroom and headed upstairs. i see page 4

White Rock Elementary students, along with teacher Kerry Peters, take a ride in the Quake Cottage, which simulates a magnitude 8.0 earthquake.
Earthquake simulator encourages preparedness for natural disaster
Students take thrill ride of their lives Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
The rumbling noise starts softly, gradually increasing until the booming is so loud you can feel it in your chest. Suddenly, the movement starts – slow at first but, before long, violently thrusting you front-to-back, side-to-side. Images of buildings crumbling, people panicking and black smoke billowing flash before your eyes on a big-screen TV. What seems like several minutes pass as you hold on for dear life, your hands gripping the handles in front of your chair, the only thing stopping you from being flung from your seat. The experience is called the Quake Cottage, and last week, students in White Rock had
the chance to test out the mobile earthquake simulator, which was in town for Emergency Preparedness Week. The cottage was on site at the White Rock Fire Hall Thursday, as part of a four-day tour throughout the Lower Mainland. The Peninsula stop saw more than 150 excited elementary students experience the sensation of a magnitude 8.0 earthquake. While the students reacted much the way they would to an amusement-park ride – with excited screams and nervous laughter – the underlying message was not lost on them. White Rock firefighter Ed Wolfe gathered a group of shaken Grade 6 students to talk about the importance of emergency preparedness. “A real earthquake wouldn’t be as fun as the

ride,� one student pointed out. “If there was an earthquake and you needed to get under a desk, would you crawl or walk?� another student asked. “You would get there the quickest and safest way possible,� Wolfe replied. Speaking to Peace Arch News after the event, Wolfe explained one of the main objectives was to relay the importance of having items in their homes and classrooms secured. “Allowing them to see how violent the shaking is, and why they need to be securing things to the walls, these are all things that they should be thinking about, and their parents too,� he said, noting residents should have a plan in place for all types of disasters.

i from page 1 “This is how White Rock should present itself, with our unforgettable icons. Congratulations and thanks to White Rock mayor, council and the BNSF.” City officials told PAN last week that the vegetation removal was part of the city’s capital project plan approved by council last month. The project includes plans to replant the bluff with vegetation that will help to “improve the stability and beautify the hillside.” The clearing has presented no concerns for Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway – which owns the land – according to a company spokesperson, who last week said the city had the railway’s approval to complete the work. Gus Melonas added that BNSF had requested the city remove one particular tree that had been “interfering” with rail safety. Several trees – which the city described as “non-protected” – were removed, and late last week more than a dozen cut logs could be seen stacked at the bottom of the hillside, adjacent to the train tracks. According to the city’s tree-management bylaw, which was amended late last year, a tree is considered protected if its trunk diameter at breast height (DBH) is greater than 30 centimetres, or if it has a combined DBH of its three largest trunks that is greater than 30 cm. Photos of several of the freshly cut trunks that were posted online by residents show the diameters of three measuring more than 40 cm.

Calls to city staff for clarification on whether the trees’ diameters were measured beforehand were not returned by PAN press deadline Tuesday. Deputy-mayor Grant Meyer – currently filling in for Mayor Wayne Baldwin, who is out of the country – referred questions on the size of the trees to city staff. Meyer told PAN he wants council to develop an “overall plan for the whole area” in the next couple of years. “I’d like to see the area terraced out to add some green space,” he said, noting there is not much lawn along the waterfront. “I think we can really beautify the area and provide people with some usable green space.” Regarding slope stability, Meyer said the addition of retaining walls – should the city decide to terrace the hillside into a usable space – would help strengthen the bluff. Last week, Coun. David Chesney – a longtime opponent to tree removal on the bluff – told PAN the extent of the clearing was “ridiculous,” and asserted that the tree removal was being undertaken by the city to “improve the view of a couple dozen of their friends.” Meyer disputed the suggestion. “It’s obviously a benefit for some of those people, and that’s fine, but it’s not the sole reason or anything,” he said, noting he was not overly surprised to hear of criticism from the public regarding the tree and shrub removal. “There are people who are going to criticize when you’re in public office every move you make, and that’s their right, they can do that,” he said.

Environmental groups laud South Surrey biodiversity preserve
A watershed moment for City of Surrey Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Environmental groups are giving a thumbs up to an innovative South Surrey nature preserve planned by the City of Surrey. The Fergus Watershed Biodiversity Preserve, a 67-acre rural area between 168 Street and Highway 99 – bounded on the north by 15 Avenue and on the south by 12 Avenue – has been earmarked as an area where sensitive ecosystems and critical wildlife habitat will be both protected and enhanced. A management plan for the preserve was approved by council in March, as a preliminary to staff bringing forward a draft parkdedication bylaw. According to the plan, the emphasis on biodiversity is a first for the city, enshrining the notion of preserving and promoting diverse habitats as part of a broader intention. Among groups expressing approval of the
direction taken by Surrey Parks staff are the Friends of Semiahmoo Bay Society, the Little Campbell Watershed Society, the Semiahmoo Fish and Game Club, Surrey Environmental Partners and A Rocha Canada, all of whom have partnered through representation on the preserve’s advisory committee. While the groups say there is more work to be done – they’re concerned about how a necessary access road and parking lot will be constructed, how buffer zones will be established and whether bylaw monitoring will be adequate to discourage public abuse of the area – they recognize the plan as a significant step in environmental protection in the city. It’s even more significant, they say, since it’s a turnaround in staff thinking since council adopted the name Fergus Watershed Park in 2010 and started holding open houses and workshops in 2013. Initial discussion seemed to suggest the sensitive area was being considered for mul-

But Margaret Cuthbert, president of the Friends of Semiahmoo Bay Society, said the united voice of environmental groups has clearly been heeded by Surrey Parks staff. “They really listened,” she said. “This is a real opportunity to do something different – this is going to be a first.”
The ecosystem provided by the watershed is home to precious natural habitat for many species, including migratory birds, she added. “I’d like to see more parks like this,” she said, noting that preserving a biodiverse environment of native species is more beneficial for wildlife than the common approach – neatly manicured and landscaped parks planted with tulips and marigolds. “I’d like to see more of the boulevards planted with native plants to feed the birds – you’d be surprised what even a network of small areas like that can do.” The environmental groups involved in the advisory committee for the preserve will also be stepping up to make the area even more meaningful to the general public. “We’ve committed to doing interpretation,” Cuthbert said. “We’ll be offering walks for people through the preserve, and if they want to do even more native-species planting, we can help.”
South Surrey fatality
Man killed in air crash A man died Friday after his ultralight plane nose-dived into a South Surrey agricultural field. The crash occurred around 3 p.m., west of King George Boulevard and just south of Colebrook Road. Emergency crews responding to the scene found one man deceased at the scene. Police say the craft took off from nearby King George Airpark. Witnesses say the plane was flying northwest, then turned east when it went down. The crash comes just over two weeks after an ultralight was forced to make a crash landing on Highway 91 during rush hour. The identity of the man killed in Friday’s crash has not been released. The Transportation Safety Board is investigating.

Fry joins federal South Surrey-White Rock supporters in attack on Conservatives
Local Liberals focus criticism on health care Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Alex Browne photo
MP Hedy Fry talks seniors’ health.
It was billed as a town-hall meeting on developing a national seniors’ health strategy, but it served as an opening barrage in the local federal Liberal campaign for this fall’s election. Most of some 50 people who attended a gathering with federal Liberal health critic Hedy Fry Friday at The Pantry in South Surrey declared themselves either longtime Liberals, or said they were there to support the two potential candidates for the newly redrawn South SurreyWhite Rock riding, Joy Davies and Dr. Peter N. Njenga (both of whom were present). Some were former health-care practitioners and some were seniors who voiced concerns about the future of health care. Most already seemed convinced that a first step toward developing a more effective system would be to vote Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government out of office. It was a theme hammered home in Fry’s speech to attendees at the meeting, which was
hosted by former Surrey councillor and past Liberal candidate Judy Higginbotham. MP for Vancouver Centre, Fry – a former medical doctor and president of the Vancouver Medical Association and B.C. Medical Association – accused the Harper government of failing to provide leadership for health care in Canada, particularly for a burgeoning senior population. “By 2036, we will have doubled the number of seniors in the country, and by 2086 we will have quadrupled the number of people over 80,” she said. Canada was ranked fourth in the world out of 10 countries providing universal health care, in an international survey conducted in 1994, she said – but in a similar survey conducted last year, placed 10th out of 11. “We are in a race to the bottom and will succeed in getting to the bottom,” she said. Fry noted the 2002 Romanow Commission on the future of health care had shown that hospital-based systems need to be replaced by comprehensive community-based models.
“The best place to deliver care is not always a hospital and the best people to deliver care are not always physicians,” she said. “Good health care is about having transportation… about having income stability,” she said, noting that one in 10 Canadians can’t afford the drugs they need and one in four don’t take the the drugs they are supposed to take “and end up back in hospital.” The riding association is also hosting political author Michael Harris later this month at a brunch fundraiser for local federal Liberals, but organizers say they invite “any party affiliations or unaffiliated” to the event. Harris will be at the Pacific Inn on May 31 from 10:30 a.m. to talk about his book, Party of One, which paints Harper in a negative light. As of Peace Arch News press time Tuesday, the only candidate officially endorsed by a party in the South Surrey-White Rock riding for the Oct. 19 election has been former Surrey mayor Dianne Watts for the Conservatives, who hopes to succeed retiring MP Russ Hiebert.

It was the right sentence: lawyer i from page 1 The resident was following White when he heard his front door open, turned back and saw two men enter his home. The pair grabbed him, punched him, dragged him upstairs and forced him to lie face-down in a walk-in closet. They then bound his wrists and ankles, and threatened to kill him if he looked at them, prosecutor Angela Lee told the court. “The complainant was ordered not to move or to look at them, or he would be dead,” Lee said, citing details from an agreed statement of facts. After ransacking the victim’s home, White and the two men fled in a taxi – but not before the driver was hit and choked into submission, Lee said. A security guard who had noticed something amiss had alerted the driver, but he “agreed to drive the group out of fear,” Lee said. All three perpetrators fled the cab in the area of King George Boulevard and Colebrook Road, and a short time later, a police dog found White hiding behind a storage container about 100 metres away. (While some stolen items were found in the taxi and others nearby, some – including the victim’s grandfather’s Rolex – were never recovered, Lee noted.) A man believed to be one of the two assailants with White was found in a nearby ditch.

Consideration to Amend Permit No. 2012 – 072 Direct Transfer Coal Facility May 4 – 19, 2015

Fraser Surrey Docks LP (FSD) is considering applying to amend its existing permit from Port Metro Vancouver (Permit No. 2012 – 072) that gives it conditional approval to build and operate a Direct Transfer Coal Facility within its existing lease area. The proposed amendment would have no impact on the volume of coal permitted to be shipped through FSD (4 million metric tonnes per year). It would allow FSD to load coal directly from the facility to ocean-going vessels eliminating or reducing the number of barges required. Please visit www.fsd.bc.ca/amendment to review the changes to the existing permit that FSD is considering and provide feedback on the proposed scope of the studies, which will assess the difference between the use of ocean-going vessels and barges.

Elgin Park Secondary evacuated after threat
Bomb hoax closes school Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Elgin Park Secondary in South Surrey was evacuated Friday afternoon, after an apparent bomb threat. Police raced to the 13484 24 Ave. school around 1:30 p.m., blocking 24 Avenue to traffic on both sides of the school and sending students home. School district spokesman Doug Strachan told Peace Arch News the evacuation was ordered by police, following “a vague, anonymous threat.” The all-clear was given around 3 p.m. “They found nothing,” Strachan said. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann confirmed Monday that the evacuation was ordered as a precaution after some students,
shortly after lunch, reported finding a threat written on a washroom wall. A police dog trained in detecting explosives searched the school and did not find anything untoward. “It’s a hoax,” Schumann said. And while the file has been closed, Schumann said it is still possible that whoever was responsible for triggering the response could be criminally charged if someone comes forward with information. The charge, public mischief, is “when you cause police to be engaged in an investigation when you know that it is false,” Schumann said, noting the maximum sentence on such a conviction is five years in jail. A number of students who were temporarily stranded by the
evacuation told PAN Friday that they had no doubt it was a hoax. “Elgin’s a safe school,” said Hannah Sava, in Grade 11. Sava and Lisa Tabor, in Grade 12, were frustrated that the incident prevented them from getting to their cars – which were in the school parking lot – to go home. Grade 10 student Sumrit Sanghera, who heard police arrive shortly before the evacuation order was given, said there had been no suggestion of anything amiss at the school in the hours or days before the threat. Parents were also frustrated. Michael Zhang said he learned of the evacuation around 2 p.m. through an email from the school and was “absolutely” worried when he couldn’t immediately reach his son.

Pregnant pause
W
hite Rock Coun. David Chesney is not wrong. There is ample evidence that his political opponents are indeed conspiring to make hay with his ill-advised comments on expectant mothers. This became apparent to Peace Arch News last month when former councillor Cliff Annable – who in 2011 launched a short-lived slate with then-candidate (and now Mayor) Wayne Baldwin – alerted a just-returned-to-work PAN reporter to a YouTube recording of Chesney’s now-infamous maternity chestnuts. Annable’s April 14 email said simply: “Please listen from the 10 minute slot… As a new mother, I think you will find it very interesting.” Given that our reporter had not much prior contact with Annable – and thinking we’d have a bit of fun with him, as he’s known for his affability – she emailed back: “Thanks for the email, Cliff. Curious what makes you think I’m a new mother?” Annable’s response was swift; turns out it was Coun. Lynne Sinclair – Annable’s more successful White Rock Coalition slate mate in the 2014 election – who’d somehow learned of our reporter’s return from mat leave and passed along the timely news. The penny dropped. We listened to the April 6 Goddard Report and were indeed appalled by Chesney’s comments – he said tight maternity wear looks like “sausage casing” and that women “want to come to work until that water breaks” – and we knew the news was bound to break. However, we decided we weren’t going to be the ones to break it. Unless somebody stepped forward and was publicly critical of what Chesney said, it had little to do with news, and all to do with sensationalism. On April 30, 24 days after the interview was initially posted online, it was linked on the social-media site, Reddit, under a temporary ‘throwaway’ account, and its content was drawn to the attention of bloggers, tweeters, radio-show hosts and more. As most will recall, all hell broke loose for Chesney, with the mayor dumping on him in a CBC interview and fellow councillors tweeting and retweeting comments that quickly spanned the country. Once Chesney ‘apologized’ publicly – writing about it on his website and inferring a “conspiracy” – we had what we felt was a legitimate news story. Still sensational, but legitimate. So… no… Chesney’s not wrong. But that hardly makes him right. Given so many missteps, perhaps it’s time for all of council to breathe deeply and refocus their efforts to running their city without sensational distraction. Their voters deserve it.

Soon after the result, the party pulled down its website platform and candidate biographies, as Notley began phoning energy companies to reassure them Alberta will be “A-OK” on her watch. Horgan likes to describe the “capital flight” from new NDP governments as if it’s just a show put on by big business. Plummeting stock prices and relocation of corporate offices are all staged, according to the party line, nothing to do with actual investment conditions created by NDP policies. This fiction is all Horgan dares to say publicly, because it’s what his party base devoutly believes. Besides, they’re only branch offices of multinational oil companies like Shell, Horgan said. He used his favourite Tommy Douglas quote, about the bad news of a big oil company leaving. “The good news is, the oil is staying here.” B.C.’s natural gas might be staying here too. Horgan insists he supports a natural gas export industry, but his party seems more concerned with an ascending Green Party, and an urban base that believes you can run a resource economy on windmills and solar panels. Notley supports twinning the TransMountain pipeline, while Horgan continues to insist he has no opinion on the project Adrian Dix so memorably opposed. The Alberta NDP has a steep learning curve ahead. The B.C. NDP has a couple of years to see if the appearance of a likeminded Alberta government is a boost for them, or a cautionary tale for voters.

Vile comments call for censure Editor: Re: Chesney censured over ‘defamation’, April 29. Please consider the following letter for publication regarding White Rock Coun. David Chesney’s antics. I think the coverage given so far has been very one-sided. As far as I know, registered newspapers are obliged to provide opportunity to both sides and to check for facts in relation to assertions made by the people they are quoting. Regan Ross, in his letter to the editor (Political fallout, May 1) was very perceptive in his understanding of Chesneygate. Any sympathy for Chesney is totally misplaced. Chesney is not the victim here. He is the victimizer. He now seeks to blame everyone else, whereas, in reality of course, he is the only one to blame for a situation he has put himself in. No one else did it to him, he did it to himself. No conspiracy by others is involved. Chesney deserves to be censured. The toxicity among council is entirely of his own creation. Mayor Wayne Baldwin was obliged to follow the rules, which is why he could not reveal in detail the reasons for denying Chesney normal councillor duties (Councillor defamed, mayor says, May 1). The comments that Chesney published on his website, written by crony Don Pitcairn, smeared another councillor with the vilest analogy that could be imagined. Chesney quickly replaced the offending comment in a modified version shortly thereafter. However, many people had already read the original article, including myself. I was surprised to see Coun. Helen Fathers supporting Chesney (Father’s disputes mayor’s claim of privilege breach, May 6.). Shame on her. For Chesney, or anyone else, to blame the mayor and the rest of the council for the situation of his own making is unconscionable under the circumstances. Whatever his faults, Baldwin has sacrificed his own reputation to protect the office of mayor and his maligned councillors. Instead of being pilloried, Baldwin should be commended for steadfastly following the rules. White Rock residents deserve councillors with integrity, conscience and sense of responsibility. Speaking as a city representative, Chesney proceeded to trash a TV meteorologist with an outrageous attack on her attire during her pregnancy (Maternity criticism draws fire, May 6.). This is yet another example of his outrageous behaviour while representing the city. He then took a gratuitous swipe at all pregnant women who work until birth and then take a year maternity leave. This is not the kind of bigoted comment that should be allowed when one is speaking on behalf of the City of White Rock. If Chesney had any integrity and conscience, he would resign immediately and make way for a more deserving candidate. Keith Knightson, White Rock
Q Re: Maternity criticism draws fire, May 6. I am writing this today as I feel that the women who were slighted regarding their maternity wear deserve a much deeper apology. Under no circumstances were the comments excusable. Nor should they be accepted as anything less than one man’s indescribable horrific ramblings where, first of all, he had no business and, second of all, showed zero understanding, respect, compassion and decency. Expectant mothers should not be subjected David Chesney to this type of councillor behaviour. They deserve better and we should all stand up and cry out foul. They are our humanity, our future, our hope, our blessing. We as a society are not to make it more difficult for them or any other woman. We must all take a stand to immediately stop this behaviour. It is trying for any woman to have to work during pregnancy. Leave them alone and maybe give them a hand. Help out, show compassion, show respect, show some decency. I’m deeply upset at what was said, and I wish all the best for not only expectant mothers but for all women. Men, stop this nonsense! Garry Wolgemuth, White Rock
Suffering met with silence Editor: Re: Animals suffer from our apathy, March 17 letters. We moved to White Rock last October and were not aware of the estimated 34,000 homeless cats in Surrey until I read Frank Sterle Jr.’s letter to the editor. He writes, “In my opinion, humanity’s overall apathetic, if not callous, inhumane streak is to blame for this totally avoidable suffering of fellow sentient mammals.” I expected a deluge of letters to the editor supporting his obvious great concern for these cats who suffer through no fault of their own and his recommendations to prevent the unimaginable suffering these cats go through before they die. To my surprise, I haven’t seen one letter to Peace Arch News since March 17 regarding it. There was one letter regarding animal abuse, leghold traps on March 24, but it was not directed to the stray-cat situation. I started wondering why people in general – including some mayors and councils – appear to be apathetic. Do some simply not care about the inhumane suffering of these cats because they have become so hardened or insular as a society that they just care about me and mine resulting, in my opinion, in the eventual breakdown of society?
Is it because some are so overwhelmed by the problem that they can’t get a handle on it and a corresponding plan of action? Or is it because they can’t put a face to the problem, as the cats are out of sight as they roam around looking for someone to care for them, for food, and shelter and in hiding out of fear? I must admit I feel overwhelmed by the numbers (34,000 cats ‘given free rein’ in Surrey, March 5). Other municipalities in the Lower Mainland and the rest of B.C. have stray-cat issues, although perhaps not as large as Surrey. I know from experience after dealings with four stray cats that they are capable of great love, courage, and have feelings of love, pain and suffering and fear just like we do. I had moved into an apartment in 1985 with my dog. One day, very soon after moving in, I saw this extremely thin, scraggy black cat running across the parking lot with a limp. It looked half dead. I asked a neighbour about the poor thing. She had heard that it had been abandoned a few months ago when the owners moved. It had been hit by a car, which was why it limped. We took him to the vet’s, but there was nothing he could do; he mercifully put the cat down. Please don’t be a part of the stray problem by abandoning pets instead of taking them to a shelter, and by not getting them spayed or neutered. I hope you will do whatever you can to be a part of the solution. Roberta Tench, White Rock

Letter-writer Barry Cameron notes there’s so much to be thankful for while living in this part of the world.
Perspective from our Peninsula Editor: I sit here on my balcony, paper in hand, looking down the road toward the waterfront. I read through the editorial, the letters to the editor, enjoying a cup of coffee. A reward to myself after just spending two hours delivering this very same newspaper. I want, I think, to write a letter about garbage pickup, coal trains or their incessant whistling, perhaps about the transit plebiscite, or even to reiterate my thoughts on upcoming development? But alas my mind wanders to articles in other papers, and stories, both on the radio and TV, of ISIS, Syria, of people drowning in their attempt to flee the insanity brought upon them. My thoughts take me to vision of famine and disease in Africa, the earthquake that just happened in Nepal, of
other blights and atrocities going on in this world of ours. I sit here now feeling so damn fortunate and blessed to be living here where I am. And, yes, I know that we have issues, problems, inconveniences that we must “deal” with in our everyday lives here on the Peninsula, but today my perspective will now allow me to dwell on them. Besides, the sun has just popped out from behind a cloud and the wind has died down, my coffee cup is empty. I feel the need to get up and go down for a walk on the beach, feel the breeze on my face, watch the waves rumble in, reflect on life and those who struggle so hard with so little, and to just be so very thankful for what I have here at home. Those ‘other’ letters will just have to wait for another day. Barry Cameron, White Rock

Two councillors object to Victoria Avenue plan
Project gets go-ahead Proponents of a White Rock construction project who sought the city’s permission to change its plans after the work had already been done received approval from council last month, despite two councillors’ objection. Developers of the project in question – at 15283 Victoria Ave. – had revised their building plans and submitted them to the city in November 2013. One of the changes was the inclusion of an elevated walkway, which would require a variance permit as it encroached on the side-yard setback, however, the change was not on the list of changes submitted to the city and went unnoticed until an on-site inspection

When the motion was made to approve the variance permit at the April 13 council meeting, Coun. Lynne Sinclair said she would not vote in support. “I think (the walkway) does obstruct the view, it’s too close to the other house,” Sinclair explained. “And I’m not very happy that a very experienced developer in this town wouldn’t put (the change) on the list.” The motion passed with Sinclair and Coun.

Shalendra Sharma sentenced
A Surrey man who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 15-year-old in 1994 has been sentenced to just over a year in prison. Shalendra Kumar Sharma also pleaded guilty to three thefts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one in
2001 and two in 2011 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as well as assault causing bodily harm related to a 2011 incident. All the offences took place in Burnaby and all of the victims were sex-trade workers. Sharma, 46, was initially charged in February 2012 with four sexual assaults,

as well four counts of confinement, one of kidnapping and two of uttering threats. According to court documents, the sex assault he admitted to involved a teenage female from a troubled background who was soliciting in Vancouver. Sharma approached her in his car, they made an arrangement for paid sex and she got in his vehicle. Part way through their interaction, she decided she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to continue. Sharma said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d drive her home, but stopped his car behind a gas station and forced himself on her. He told her not to tell anyone and dropped her off at a Surrey restaurant. In the three subsequent thefts to which he pleaded guilty, Sharma had sexual relations with three different women, then drove away with their purses and personal belongings in the car. The final incident, which occurred in December 2012, involved a 32-year-old woman who worked in the sex trade to support her drug addiction. She got in Sharmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car after the two had made a cash-for-sex agreement, but Sharma became angry when the woman wanted to be paid in advance. The two got out of the car â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the woman with a window scraper and Sharma with a steering wheel lock. Sharma chased her and struck her with the lock, fracturing her wrist. In his reasons for sentence last month, which were posted online this week, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Terence Schultes said it was obvious the teenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sexual assault was the most serious. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the spectrum of different ways of committing sexual assaults, forced sexual intercourse is among the most intrusive kinds of behaviour captured by that offence,â&#x20AC;? said Schultes. The judge sentenced Sharma to 11 months for the sex assault, one month for the assault causing bodily harm and five days each for the three thefts.

funds raised by Easter Seals and its parent charity, the BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities. In 2013, the admission cost for each child was raised to $100, and in 2014, $500. The costs were meant to offset fundraising difficulties and the actual operational cost for each child – about $2,400. Parents have generally accepted the new reality, said Stephen Miller, president and CEO of the BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities and BC Easter Seals, during an interview last year. Miller said that unlike other camps for children with specific diseases such as cancer or diabetes, the nature of the Easter Seals camps – for kids with a variety of disabilities – means that volunteers cannot be used, and the camps provide ratios of just one, two or three campers for each properly trained and paid staff member, to ensure proper safety and support. About 900 kids go each summer to Camp Squamish and the other two Easter Seals
camps – Camp Shawnigan on Vancouver Island and Camp Winfield in the Okanagan Valley. Parents got into the action with the Woman2Warrior obstacle race starting in 2013. This will be Leora’s third such test of strength, endurance and agility, so she knows what to expect – including the sideline support from her husband Peter and Nathan’s younger brother, Jason, 9. In her first year, Leora ran alone among the crowd. She had a team of three in 2014 and this year she will be joined by her sister-inlaw and three co-workers. Leora has raised $3,400 for the BC Easter Seals Camps since 2013. Her team, despite their training, can predict how they’ll feel by the end of the race. Appropriately, they’re called Scrambled Legs.

$2.2 million grand prize in Hometown Heroes Lottery
Morgan Creek hosts lotto home A new lottery home has opened in Morgan Creek, valued at more than $2.2 million, making it the highest-valued home to date for the Hometown Heroes Lottery. The 15936 39A Ave. home backs onto a large pond, and boasts three bedrooms upstairs, a great room on the main floor, a large covered deck and a lounge, theatre, games room and two additional bedrooms in the basement. Designer Debbie Heal, of White Rock’s Sunrae Design, was tasked with providing furniture, window coverings, bedding and accessories throughout the home, and said the home’s overall ambience is one of peace and tranquility.
“When the door opened and I first saw the large windows that look out onto the water, I knew the house had to complement such a calming feature,” Heal said. Heal was inspired by the calm hues found in the fireplace rock, and incorporated a monochromatic colour scheme throughout the main floor to help maintain the feeling of calm. In the basement, she said she turned to some warmer colours – like burnt orange and darker wood tones – to add a little energy. In addition to the dream home – which comes with $15,000 cash – the Hometown Heroes Lottery has more than 5,000
prizes to be won. These include a 2015 Sea Ray 410 Sundancer Yacht – which comes with $1 million cash – a vacation home in Osoyoos, a 2015 Dodge Ram 1500, vacations, spa getaways and more. The Hometown Heroes Lottery supports the VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation and the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund. The Morgan Creek lottery home is open daily for viewing from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online at www.heroeslottery.com or by calling 604-648-4376. – Melissa Smalley

Surrey pair place first at French public-speaking competition
Students fare très bien A pair of Surrey students took top honours this month in the Concours d’art oratoire, a pan-provincial French publicspeaking competition. French-immersion students Julia Albert, in Grade 9 at Earl Marriott Secondary, and Kyle Boutilier, in Grade 10 at Kwantlen Park Secondary, both won first place in their respective categories. The pair were among a dozen Surrey students to compete in the provincial finals, held May 2 at SFU Surrey. Competition judge Dr. Renée Hamilton-Clark described making it to the finals as “an incredible feat. We congratulate everyone who participated; they are all winners.” Patti Holm, president of Canadian Parents for French BC & Yukon, said Concours d’art oratoire – held across Canada – aims to help students develop their creative and public-speaking abilities, as well as self-confidence. Participants choose, develop and present a three- to fiveminute speech on any subject they are interested in. In all, 10,000 B.C. students competed; 240 made it to the finals. Other Surrey finalists were Grace Kemp (Grade 6 Early Immersion, Laronde Elementary), Amélie Cyr-Lo (Grade 6 Francophone, Peace Arch Elementary), Danica Renaud Gould (Grade 6 Francophone, Peace Arch), Sam Albert (Grade 7 Early Immersion, Laronde), Joanna Wang (Grade 7 Late Immersion, Laronde), Mariam Ayubi (Grade 8 Immersion,

Addition of a water feature creates backyard oasis
A taste of the tranquil N
o matter the size or layout of your outdoor living space, one thing that can spruce up any backyard is a water feature. From koi ponds to waterfalls, bird baths to creeks, there are plenty of options – for any budget – when looking to add water to your yard. Adding a water feature to your yard can help hide some of the background noise, if you live in a less-than-quiet neighbourhood. It can also help to create a tranquil, calm and unique atmosphere, transforming your backyard into a peaceful oasis. The most common water feature is the birdbath, and they come in a variety of shapes, sizes and designs, ranging from small, understated baths that can sit in any garden, to large, fountain-style creations that can become a focal point of your outdoor space. And not only will they look great, they’ll also attract all types of feathered friends to your property, which also come with benefits. Birds can help aerate the soil in your yard, and they’ll also eat bugs that could damage your gardens and lawns. If you’d like a small creek to run through your backyard garden, there are plenty of ways to create one – either by contacting a local
landscape-design professional or, if you’re more of a do-it-yourself type of person, by finding some DIY instructions online, some of which require nothing more than gravel, a bit of concrete, PVC pipe and a recirculating pump. A water wall is also a great addition to any yard. It can create shade, divide outdoor spaces and add something of a dramatic look to your landscape. Waterfalls are not only relaxing, but can also be quite decorative, and there are many pre-fabricated waterfall and stream kits available that don’t require much assembly or maintenance. Koi ponds are also a way to bring some life to your yard, but unlike other water features, these peaceful ponds are not low-maintenance. Make sure you understand all the maintenance required – and the fact that the fish will need to be cared for when you’re away – before taking on such a project. A water feature doesn’t need to be big, however. A garden pot filled with water and aquatic plants can be a great addition to a yard – especially a small one. A pond-in-a-pot will largely take care of itself – just fill a shallow bowl or container with aquatic plants and fresh water, and then relax and enjoy your new backyard oasis.

hink you don’t have enough room for flowers, or space to grow your own vegetables? Think again. Having a small outdoor living area doesn’t mean you can’t have a great garden. In fact, there are many ways to make the most of smaller spaces, no matter what you’re looking for – whether you’d like an herb garden, a colourful array of flowers or a bird feeder to attract some local wildlife to your patio. Container gardening is gaining in popularity, as people often have limited space and less time for maintenance. Containers – which you can buy in various sizes – are a fantastic way to add some life to an otherwise drab, perhaps dark, patio. The most important thing to consider, no matter your plans, is sunlight, said West Coast Gardens’ Jason Vandermay. “People who live in townhouses or condos, sometimes there isn’t as much light coming into their patios, so you have to choose the right plants.”
Thinkstock photo
Plants, flowers and vegetables can thrive on patios. Selecting containers is also important, Vandermay said. Two types of plants that thrive in low-light environments are begonias and coleus plants, he added. Aside from the practicality of smaller containers, a variety of different shapes and sizes can give your space a unique look. “Using a collection of different pots – some of them smaller, or some tall ones that still have a smaller footprint – is very popular these days,” he said. As well, many containers come with built-in saucers to catch water runoff –
perfect for people in condos on high floors, as it will prevent water from dripping down onto the neighbours below. Vandermay also challenged the notion that you can’t grow vegetables or herbs in a small space. “That’s often what people think, but you absolutely can do that. In fact, a lot of people do – it’s huge, and so are herb gardens,” he said. All plants and vegetables – whether in containers or hanging baskets – need proper fertilizer and watering if they are to thrive.

Repurpose pieces for ‘shabby chic’ decor
Give furniture new life B
efore you rush to dispose of that old clunky piece of furniture – possibly inherited, or in the family for years – consider what a little imagination and a little refinishing can accomplish. When a piece has outlived its original usefulness, maybe it’s time to repurpose it, adding a whole new lease on life to something that would otherwise be headed for the dump or the donation door. More and more people are discovering that repurposed old pieces, particularly those made of real wood rather than pressed board, can become a funky retro complement to a home – a character statement with flair as a counterpoint to relentless, sterile modernity. Whether office cabinets, dressers, sideboards, end tables, coffee tables, armchairs, loveseats or sofas, old furniture can be re-imagined as a complement to contemporary life with a nod to the past. Chairs and sofas can be given new life with reupholstery; old luggage and steamer trunks, repainted – possibly with vintage images and graphics lacquered on – can become viable and attractive storage options; antique crates and containers can fulfill a whole new function while acknowledging their historic commercial past; and even old doors can have a new existence as coffee tables. You can be green by ‘saving’ old items you already have, or you can enjoy the challenge of searching for interesting items in charity thrift stores, knowing that you are contributing to a good cause while acquiring a piece that, with a little work,

Abandon the notion that everything has to look new and pristine – part of the fun of the enduring ‘shabby chic’ look is the relaxed notion that a natural patina of wear and weathering is part of the appeal, and some of the original colour is supposed to show through.

The only real limit, she agrees, is our own imagination, and the line she carries – New Westminster-based Fat Paint – offers some 30 different colours to match any decor. Typically a piece will require two coats, she said – plus sealing with a coat of wax or varathane – but a huge labour and time-saving bonus is that pieces require no priming and sanding before the paint goes on. And lightening the shade has immediate impact, she added. “So often a piece that’s older has this dark brown colour – there’s a lot of character

there, but because of the colour it looks dark and heavy. By changing the colour, you bring new life to it.” Many people are learning that pieces don’t all have to look new or indistinguishable from our neighbours’, Giesbrecht added, although she noted that some traditionalists resist the idea of painting furniture. “Sometimes I feel like saying ‘sir, the wood is still there under the paint, and if sometime you’re tired of the colour you can refinish it and restain it.’ “This is very much what the French have done for hundreds for years with their furniture – they paint it and paint it again. They value their pieces and keep them about.”

Kitchen renovation requires planning, budgeting
The heart of the home Y
our kitchen is where things start and finish – the place everyone is drawn to, no matter the occasion. So, if you’re considering making some changes to it this spring, experts say it’s a good idea to keep that significance top-of-mind. “The kitchen is where everybody congregates,” said Al Dyck, owner of Above All Contracting. “No matter where you go to, it’s always a kitchen party at the end. “The girls are getting things prepared, and the guys are hovering. Where’s the bar? The bar is usually somewhere off the kitchen. And the kitchen usually leads off to the deck.” Whether it’s a simple update or an extensive revamp, Dyck said two key things to keep in mind are the space you’re working with and your budget. Do you just
want new cabinets? Do you want to add a window over the sink so you can watch the kids as they play in the backyard? Or, do you want your end result to be a larger, more modern room? Timing the project with weather that’s conducive to outdoor cooking is not mandatory, but certainly has its advantages, Dyck said. Even the most minor of renovations will likely put the room out of commission for at least two weeks, he said; up to six weeks if it involves structural changes such as removing walls. A good start is to discuss the plan with those who share your home, then start putting the ideas on paper, with the most important aspects at the top of the list.

Kitchen renos should ‘add value’ › from page 19 there’s no financial surprises. If necessary, the plan can always be toned down along the way, Dyck said. Paul Clarke of MPB Construction emphasized the importance of using a professional. “In this business, there’s a lot of people that fly under the radar,” Clarke said. “You typically get what you pay for.” Clarke said while a decision to renovate can be motivated by a desire to spruce a house up for sale, he recommends making choices based on what you like, not what the next person might like. “Do it for yourself,” he said.

Clarke described the kitchen as “a money room” when it comes to renovations. He recommended those considering a project be thorough in their research. In addition to online research, home shows hosted around the Lower Mainland can be a good source of ideas, he said. Dyck named soft-close doors and drawers, easy-to-clean cooktops and larger refrigerators as among popular trends at the moment. Clarke added quartz countertops to the list. Whatever you’re end goal is, “when it’s all said and done, it should add real value to your house,” Clarke said. “If it’s done right, it should look good for a long time.”

Sprained my Ankle. Q: INow what?
A:
my Provincial MSP Q: Won’t coverage cover me for day
Ankle sprains result in pain and swelling due to stretching or tearing of some of the ligaments surrounding the ankle. As these tears heal, they form scar tissue, which sticks to normal tissue and causes inflammation and continued pain. Without appropriate treatment, ankle pain can Dr. Howard Green persist for several months, or even years. Podiatrist Causes: Most commonly people sprain ankles by stepping in a hole or tripping over tree roots or rocks. Treatment: Stop running or walking on it. This next step is very critical; follow the R.I.C.E. protocol. This means rest, ice, compression & elevation. See your family doctor or podiatrist. A severely sprained ankle often needs to be treated to reduce scar tissue formation and help restore normal strength and range of motion. Prevention: If you are prone to ankle sprains, avoid rocky or uneven terrains. Wear a firmer or more supportive shoe for better stability, and do ankle-strengthening exercises often. Activity Restrictions: Do not run or participate in vigorous weight-bearing activities with a sprained ankle. This will only damage the ankle further.

trips to the USA, or for all my medical needs in other provinces?
A:
Absolutely not, we highly recommend families (or individuals) especially those that live on the border, to take advantage of some of the very reasonable Family and Individual Renata annual medical insurance plans. We have all heard or read about Canadians suffering losses in the $100 of thousands for a major operation, hospitalization and/or a medivac back to Canada. We forget that even an emergency visit to an American Hospital for a simple break or sprain can cost close to $1000. There are special low prices for travelers under 30years and great Family Plans. Annual Family plans are the best value yet, starting at $122 per year for as many trips as you can make will cover your entire family for as many trips under 8 days long per year. This insurance will also cover you for costs that MSP does not cover in other Canadian provinces (ambulances are a big item).

The Puppy and Kitten Checklist: • Veterinarian check-ups – This is important to ensure good health. It is also a good time to discuss proper nutrition for all their growing needs. • Vaccinations and Flea/Parasite control – Starting on a proper schedule will help keep any unwanted diseases and bugs away– this is important because these issues can also affect us. • Spaying/Neutering – to prevent health issues down the road it’s important to spay or neuter your pet. It is also the best time to get ID done such as a tattoo or microchip • Exercise and Training – It’s important to develop a healthy routine which will help prevent any unwanted behaviour and ensure a happy, healthy pet (and owner!)

is. There are many aspects that contribute but one in particular Shayda John makes a huge difference… Advertising Consultant Consistency! One must be consistent for others to remember them. Placing just one ad and expecting a large response is not realistic. People need to see you, your name, your logo, repetitively for them to remember your business. Now, being consistent does not mean you need to have a huge budget with the largest of ads, it simply means you need to have something running on a regular basis for your business to be remembered so that you may build your brand.

Using research-based Dr. Liseann Head evidence and comparing the & Dr. Michelle Elliott many brands of eye related supplements on the market, our doctors recommend the Macula 2TM Essentials brand of vitamin for prevention and treatment of macular degeneration. This vitamin is made in BC with the highest quality ingredients and no fillers. Some forms of dry eye are treated with Omega 3 supplements. Not all Omega 3 supplements are the same, however, as you need the correct ratio of EPA, DHA and DPA to be effective.

Home and PO Box addresses simply don’t look as approachable or professional for a business. Second Reason: Security and privacy. Your clients do not have open permission to access to your private home address and therefore will not be disturbing you or your family. Third Reason: With the purchase of a business address, you have access to services and facilities to make yourself and your business shine.

key points to remember to make this big step a successful one: • Get pre-approved. Ensure your credit rating doesn’t have any glitches that could set you back. Know how much Laura Thibeault you can honestly afford before writing Realtor on a home that’s out of your price range. Give yourself a cushion. • Use a professional real estate agent. The better agents know the market, will explain the process, help you avoid pitfalls and will have a team of other professionals such as builders, inspectors and repair people to provide service. • Try not to get emotional. Be careful about falling in love with something that won’t hold value over time. Watch out for shoddy construction. Location really matters! Think ahead and consider resale value for when you’re ready to move. It’s unlikely you’ll stay in your first home longer than five to seven years. • Remember closing costs. Home purchase also includes Property Transfer Tax, mortgage appraisal and legal fees, moving and insurance costs.

Yet homeopathy is Neil Tessler ND, DHANP used globally for the last two hundred years by millions of patients who find homeopathy reliable and effective. I myself was trained in homeopathy by three American medical doctors. The spirit of science, which is based on open minded experimental inquiry, has in this instance been replaced with premature certitude. Modern science has, in fact, indicated the validity of homeopathy from several viewpoints and further research is needed and ongoing. In a short paragraph we can’t even define this brilliant subject that brings together mind and body in a single natural health science that can change lives.

QUARTERLY REPORT
Dominion Lending Centres Chief Economist Says US Style Housing Crash Unlikely in Canada Responding to recent news reports about the IMF warning of an overheated Canadian housing market, the Chief Economist for Dominion Lending Centres, Sherry Cooper, says the prospect of a soft landing is good news for homeowners, “there is no doubt that letting some steam out of the boiling markets is a good thing because were prices to rise rapidly for too long, a nasty correction would be likely.”
Bank of Canada Remains On Hold With Hopes of Economic Rebound the January MPR); however, the second quarter is expected to see a rebound to 1.8 percent growth, revised up from earlier expectation. The Bank continues to assert that, “Underneath the effects of the oil price shock, the natural sequence of stronger nonenergy exports, increasing investment, and improving labour markets is progressing.” This will be aided by an improvement in the U.S. economy and the easing in financial Dr. Sherry Cooper conditions.
As was widely expected, on Wednesday April 15, 2015 The Bank of Canada announced that it is maintaining its target for the overnight rate at 3/4 per cent. The Bank Rate is correspondingly 1 per cent and the deposit rate is 1/2 per cent. Core inflation, at 2 percent, is a reflection of the dampening effects of a slowing economy offset by the pass through effects of the lower dollar.

The Bank also believes the risks to the outlook are balanced, an upgrade since the last policy meeting in March. As a result of this view, they judge that the current degree of monetary stimulus is appropriate and have left rates unchanged. I am cautiously optimistic that the Bank has got it right, but I continue to believe that the risks are on the downside for the economy and inflation. My forecast for Canadian growth this year is 1.5 percent--below the Bank’s 1.9 percent forecast. Much hinges on the U.S. economy. The April MPR revised down its U.S. growth forecast for this year from 3.2 percent to 2.7 percent.

Cooper, one of North America’s most respected economic experts, points out that existing home sales were down 2 percent year-over-year in January, but were still up moderately outside of Alberta. Later data suggests that in February, sales rose month-over-month as gains in Toronto and Vancouver offset faltering markets in other parts of the country. More recently, Sales of existing homes in Canada rose in March from February, led by gains in the big Toronto and Vancouver markets. Sales were even up in Calgary where sales had slowed in recent months in the wake of the oil price decline. “With home ownership at a record high of 70 percent of households and interest rates at record lows, national sales growth will stabilize at a modest pace,” says Cooper. “However, steady demand from immigrants and non-resident purchasers in Toronto and Vancouver should continue to support housing markets. In addition, Millennials are in their first-time home-buying years. While many might be priced out of the singlefamily home market, many will take the plunge into condos.” On the supply side, housing starts and completions are down and are now trending slightly above household formation rates. Taking replacement demand into consideration, the current pace of overall home construction is at appropriate levels to meet long-run demand. We have also seen evidence of a recent increase in dedicated rental housing construction as institutional investors are providing increased funding in this long-overlooked area of the housing market. Condos have effectively replaced traditional apartment units and are an affordable alternative for those who are priced out of Toronto’s detached housing market. Rental vacancy rates remain at extreme lows in Vancouver and Toronto. Cooper says the bottom line is that there is little evidence of an upcoming U.S.-style housing crash anywhere in Canada, even in the hardest hit energy-centered markets.
Cities want control over pot Jeff Nagel Black Press
Lower Mainland municipalities are collectively demanding authority to regulate medical-marijuana dispensaries, even though Vancouver is the only city so far actively trying to exert control. A resolution seeking acceptance of municipal authority passed a vote of the Lower Mainland Local Government Association (LMLGA) last week, with Surrey delegates opposed. Pot storefronts have sprung up in several cities but have mostly been beaten back, except in Vancouver, where city council is trying to regulate rather than stamp out the more than 80 local dispensaries. Surrey Coun. Bruce Hayne, who sits on the LMLGA executive, said medical-pot dispensaries are a nonissue in his city. “We don’t have any dispensaries in Surrey and we’re not looking at licensing any at all,” Hayne said. “If they do spring up, they are illegal and we have the recourse to shut them down from there.” He said municipalities have been frustrated with the federal government’s medical marijuana policy, from the previous system that allowed problematic home grows to the new mailorder-only model of commercial producers that “seemed like a reasonable solution” but is now mired in court challenges. Surrey is policed by the RCMP but the story is similar across the river in New Westminster, where its municipal police force has also taken a no-tolerance stand. New Westminster Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said one dispensary tried to open – initially calling itself an information centre as it sought to clear various hurdles – but police raided it and the operators were charged with trafficking. Vancouver’s policy aims to regulate locations and set a $30,000 licensing fee.

Semiahmoo suffers injuries as provincials loom
Totems second, Marriott third in Fraser Valley Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
T
he Fraser Valley senior girls rugby championship game was costly for the Semiahmoo Totems in more ways than one last Thursday. For starters, the Totems lost the game – and the Fraser Valley banner – to their Abbotsford rival Yale Lions, 26-7, but they also suffered a handful of significant injuries which will hamper their chances at provincials in two weeks. And no injury was more debilitating to the South Surrey squad than the one suffered by captain Hera Sfikas, who broke her collarbone. “She was on the ground and somebody just landed on her. It was a pretty costly loss,” said Semiahmoo’s Frank Ellestad, who co-coaches the team with Dave Kaye. “We had a couple other injuries, too. A few shoulder injuries, and one girl in our back row is out with a concussion – long-term things.” Ellestad chalked up the loss – and, perhaps, the injuries – to the fact that the Lions are an older, much bigger team than the Totems, whose roster is made up largely of Grade 11 players and has just one Grade 12 starter. “Yale’s size and age really showed, no question about it. They’re just bigger and stronger,” he said. After finishing second in the Valley, Semiahmoo will head into the senior AAA girls provincial championships as the No. 4 seed. Four teams from the Fraser Valley – Semi, Yale, plus Earl Marriott and Elgin Park secondaries – have qualified for the tournament, which is set for May 21-23 at Capilano University. Also on Thursday afternoon, Earl Marriott edged their crosstown rivals from Elgin Park by the narrowest of margins, winning the Fraser Valley third-place game 21-20.
Elgin Park got off to the better start in the game, pinning Marriott deep on their own side of the field in the opening minutes and eventually taking a 10-0 lead on a pair of tries. Marriott battled back late in the first half, however, and scored on the last play before the break, which “was a real boost for the girls going into halftime,” according to EMS coach Melissa Seselja. The second half was evenly played, with each side scoring two tries. But the difference was in the kicking game. Marriott’s Marya Kemp – who Seselja said is a firsttime goal kicker – made all of her conversions, for six points. “It just came down to who made the goals in the end,” Seselja said. “Thankfully, none of (Elgin’s) conversions were made.” Like Semiahmoo in the first-place game, Seselja said her side was also dealing with injuries, “just like most rugby teams.” She credited her players’ resilience and her versatility for overcoming the injury bug. “We are so lucky to have players like Lia Collosaco and Steph Renkers, who are able to fill in at (different) positions,” Seselja said. EMS will be seeded fifth at provincials, and Elgin Park eighth.
Senior boys Fresh off a trip to Japan for the Sanix World Rugby Youth Tournament – the team arrived home last week – Earl Marriott’s senior boys team will battle a familiar rival today (Wednesday) for the Fraser Valley title. Today at 5 p.m., EMS will square off against the Yale Lions for the banner. The two schools are plenty familiar with one another, even as the players change, having squared off in Fraser Valley finals every year from 2009 to 2011 and again in 2013, with EMS winning each time. Last year, EMS lost the finals to Robert Bateman.

Painless treatment for fungal nail infections M
any people don’t realize they have a fungal nail problem and, therefore, don’t seek treatment. Yet, fungal toenail infections are a common foot health problem and can persist for years without ever causing pain. The disease, characterized by a change in a toenail’s color, is often considered nothing more than a mere blemish. Left untreated, however, it can present serious problems. Also referred to as onychomycosis, fungal nails are infections underneath the surface of the nail, which may also penetrate the nail. Fungal nail infections are often accompanied by a secondary bacterial and/or yeast infection in or about the nail plate, which ultimately can lead to difficulty and pain when walking or running. Symptoms may include discoloration, brittleness, loosening, thickening, or crumbling of the nail. A group of fungi, called dermophytes, easily attack the nail and thrive on keratin, the nail’s protein substance. In some cases, when these tiny organisms take hold, the nail may become

thicker, yellowish-brown, or darker in color, and foul smelling. Debris may collect beneath the nail plate, white marks frequently appear on the nail plate, and the infection is capable of spreading to other toenails, the skin, or even the fingernails. Nail bed injury may make the nail more susceptible to all types of infection, including fungal infection. Those who suffer chronic diseases, such as diabetes, circulatory problems, or immune-deficiency conditions, are especially prone to fungal nails. Other contributory factors may be a history of Athlete’s Foot or excessive perspiration. Our treatment protocol is that we treat all 10 toes due to fungus being in the shoes and socks and transferring back and forth as it usually starts in 1 or 2 toes and spreads to the others. The treatment is approx. 35 minutes. The treatment is comfortable not painful.

Surrey’s Tyler Popowich chosen third overall
Locals picked in WHL draft Rick Kupchuk Sports Reporter
Two players from Surrey were among the top 10 selections in Thursday’s Western Hockey League Bantam Draft. Tyler Popowich of the Okanagan Hockey Academy (OHA) was selected third overall by the Vancouver Giants. The six-foot-four, 190-pound centre from Surrey played at the Burnaby Winter Club until joining the OHA early in the 201314 season, his first in the bantam division. This past season, Popowich scored 25 goals and 57 points in 47 games played. At the BC Cup Male U16 tournament last month in Salmon Arm, Popowich tallied six goals and added an assist in six games. Luka Burzan of the North Shore Winter Club (NSWC) was claimed sixth overall by the Moose Jaw Warriors. Burzan played with Surrey MHA’s Tier 1 Bantam team in the 2013-14 season, then joined the North Shore Winter Club just prior to this past season. A six-foot, 165-pound forward, Burzan ranked second in scoring at the Western Canada Bantam Championship in Winnipeg with 10 points (four goals, six assists) in five games. The NSWC Winter Hawks went 3-1-1 (won-lost-tied) to win the championship.

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS File photo
Teammates Ethan Scardina, Matthew Mosher and Jack Judson were all drafted in last week’s WHL bantam draft. Burzan had 65 goals and 108 points in 52 games with the Winter Hawks. At the BC Cup, he scored six times and assisted on six other goals. The draft allows WHL teams to select 15 year olds who have completed their final season in the bantam (14-15 year-old) division. The first pick of the third round, 45th overall, was Matthew Mosher. A member of the Semiahmoo Minor Hockey Association until joining the Delta Hockey Academy in Ladner for this past season, Mosher was chosen by the Saskatoon Blades. The Prince George Cougars took Tyler Ho of Surrey with the 66th selection. Ho played with Surrey Minor Hockey before moving over to the
NSWC for his second season in the bantam division. He scored four goals and eight points in five games played at the Western Canada Bantam Championship, then totalled three goals and six points at the B.C. Cup. White Rock’s Kabir Gill, also a North Shore Winter Club member, went to the Seattle Thunderbirds in the fifth round, 103rd overall. South Surrey’s Ethan Scardina of the Delta Hockey Academy was the 121st selection in the sixth round by the Everett Silvertips. Delta Hockey Academy’s Jack Judson – a South Surrey resident – rounded out the local contingent after being chosen by the Vancouver Giants in the 10th round, 201st overall.

Stan is also survived by his sister Helen and his brother Walter (Peggy) and their children. Stan’s loving family and friends will always remember him for all his kindness, resilience and loving smile. Stan had served in the Canadian Air Force and then had a long successful career in sales.

Too young, Della has left us. She is survived by her mother June Vogl of Powell River, her sister Karen Pinton (Thomas) of White Rock, niece Ryley Pinton, step nephew Matthew Pinton (Krystal) and great grand nephew Carter. Della is also survived by aunts, uncles, cousins and oh so many friends. She was pre-deceased by her father, Bud Vogl, in 1998. Della was born in Rossland, B.C. and three months later, she moved to Powell River where she grew up and graduated from Max Cameron Secondary School in 1971. She moved to Victoria for two years, then traveled abroad for one year after which she moved to Vancouver where she earned her diploma as a Food Service Supervisor. Della worked in three different hospitals before settling into her career at Burnaby Hospital where she was recognized for thirty years of service. Della loved to travel and managed to see most of this world. She also enjoyed her outings with the Purple Pumps of the Red Hat Society. Her positive outlook was amazing considering the progression of a debilitating neuromuscular disease. As Della did not want a formal service, a celebration of her life will be held on Friday, May 15th, 14909 32nd Ave., South Surrey from 2 - 5. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Della’s name to the Muscular Dystrophy Assoc. at www.muscle.ca or Muscular Dystrophy Assoc. 1404 West Broadway, 7th Floor, Vancouver, B.C., V6H 1H6
