Overcrowding expected to continue

District seeks school timeline Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

When it comes to where the long-awaited Grandview high school sits on the Ministry of Education’s new-schools priority list, the answer is a bit of a mystery. That’s because there is no such list, district superintendent Jordan Tinney said Thursday. “How can we understand where we are on the priority list if (there is) no priority list?” Tinney said in a discussion with district staff and elected officials, and editorial teams from Peace Arch News and Surrey Leader. The issue was raised during conversation on capital funding in the district, and efforts underway to convince the provincial government that Surrey’s unique position of growth deserves a degree of recognition when it comes to such funding. “Show us another school district that’s got secondary schools with kids running two shifts,” Tinney said, referring to flex schedules that were implemented at Earl Marriott and Lord Tweedsmuir secondaries four years ago in order to accom-

modate student overcapacity. “Nobody else is doing that… We are the only district that is in growth. Give us a correction for urban growth. There needs to be something that acknowledges we’re unique.” Tinney noted there is also a need on the district’s part to better-share its capital-projects situation with the public, noting that calls come in “all the time” asking about the new high school planned for Grandview, to take pressure off EMS. But when funding will come remains a mystery to the district. Ministry officials said by email that projects “must be… prioritized against other high-priority projects from across all 60 school districts.” “It should be noted that individual project requests are ranked against each other regardless of the school district requesting the project,” added spokesman Matt Silver. Silver described Surrey as “one of the few school districts which has had enrollment growth in the past 10 years,” and noted the province has invested more than $335 million in it since 2001. i see page 4

Despite widespread concern that Surrey students with special needs will receive less classroom assistance in the new school year, district officials assure there will be no cuts to service or educationassistant hours. Many parents of students with special-learning or health issues were told by school staff in recent weeks that their children would be receiving less classroom support from education assistants (EAs) starting in September.

For example, Tina Keefe was initially informed that daughter Madelyn, who has a serious congenital heart defect, would have her EA hours cut from full-time to just eight hours per week. She was subsequently told the hours would be cut, but that it remained unclear how much. “This concerns me greatly for my child’s safety at school,” says Keefe, explaining her daughter was born with half a heart and has some developmental issues because she’s spent so much time in hospital. i see page 4

Dispensary inevitable, City of White Rock to be told

Medical-marijuana pilot project urged Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

It’s only a matter of time before White Rock has a medicinal-marijuana dispensary within its city limits, says one advocate. And Randy Caine says the community has a right to weigh in on what such an operation should look like, and not have the ins and outs simply imposed on them. Caine, owner of Hempyz on Marine Drive, said he will appear as a delegation before city council next Monday to ask the city to sanction a pilot project for a medicinalmarijuana dispensary. An event June 8 at White Rock Library was to get an idea of

what people think that should look like. “My sense is it’s going to come into your community one way or another,” Caine told Peace Arch News. “It allows everybody in White Rock to have a say.” ‘Medical Marijuana: Is it right for you… Is it right for the community’ took place 7-8:30 p.m. at the library, 15342 Buena Vista Ave. Caine described it as an opportunity for “very candid, very open discussion” on the issue. He said the issue is not being handled well in Vancouver, where the federal health minister has urged the city to shut down all local pot dispensaries rather than regulate them.

Driver sought

Student hounded Police are asking the public for help to identify and locate a suspect in a possible child-luring incident that occurred Friday in South Surrey. Parents at Elgin Park Secondary were notified Friday afternoon following a report that a stranger made “persistent” efforts to convince a student to get into his vehicle. In an email to school families, principal Bruce Filsinger said the incident was reported by a senior student, after a man “pulled up beside her in his vehicle and was persistent in wanting to drive her to school.” The incident occurred around 9:40 a.m. June 5, in the 12900block of 22B Avenue, when a man in a black SUV pulled up beside a 17-year-old student. According to police, the driver left after the teen “repeatedly declined his offers” of a ride. In addition to identifying the man involved – he’s described as Asian, 40-50 years old, with no facial hair, a roundish face and short hair – police want to know if other students have had similar encounters. None have been reported, Cpl. Scotty Schumann noted. “We’re going to check with the students anyways, just to see if anybody else has had a similar experience,” Schumann told Peace Arch News. “Who knows – maybe it’s happened before.” Schumann said in a news release that while the man’s motive is unclear, “it’s safe to say it’s not normal, or acceptable, for adult strangers to be offering rides to teens.” Police want to speak to the driver “to determine his true intentions,” and investigators are canvassing the neighbourhood in an effort to locate witnesses and evidence. Anyone with information is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www. solvecrime.ca (quote file #201578152). – Tracy Holmes

Fire chief hopes first-ever public commendation will inspire more to ‘get involved’

Firefighters, victims honour hero Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A South Surrey woman whose quick actions last month likely saved a senior couple was celebrated Friday with Surrey Fire Services’ first-ever public commendation. “She stopped, she pounded on the door and woke them up,” fire Chief Len Garis said in presenting Yvonne Bernardy-Dearden with a framed Certificate of Merit. “Her actions, we believe, saved the lives of two individuals.” Bernardy-Dearden was on her way to work at Vancouver airport just before 6 a.m. May 25 – later than she typically leaves – when she spotted flames coming from the side of Andy and Carole Johnston’s house, in the 17000block of 0 Avenue. She didn’t hesitate to act, calling 911 – twice, after the first call dropped – while pounding and kicking on the home’s front door as the fire was “just turning monstrous.” She didn’t stop until the Johnstons were safely outside. “That morning, I didn’t even think,” Bernardy-Dearden told reporters following the

They’ve been told it’ll be at least a year before they can return home. “But we’re OK,” Andy Johnston told Peace Arch News. “It’s not what you want to have happen in your 70s – or in your 20s – but we’re alive. That’s all that matters.” Garis told PAN that spontaneous combustion of staining materials is suspected to have

caused the fire, and that if Bernardy-Dearden hadn’t stopped, “that couple probably wouldn’t be alive.” He noted 32 per cent of fire-related deaths in B.C. are of people 65 years and older, and said the Johnstons’ experience is a good reminder of the importance of having working smoke alarms that are equipped with battery backup, in the event a fire impacts a home’s electrical system. He hopes the new tradition of public commendations in Surrey – the system is to officially launch in the next couple of weeks – will inspire more people to get involved in helping others when the need arises. “We don’t have a tendency to get involved,” Garis said of people in general. “We need things like this to say it’s worth it.” Bernardy-Dearden’s boss at WestJet, Chantal Berridge, was also on hand for the presentation. She told PAN company officials have already reached out to acknowledge BernardyDearden’s actions, which were in line with how WestJet trains its employees. “She fully demonstrated that on that given morning,” Berridge said.

i from page 1 “We continue to work with the school district to create more spaces for students.” School board chair Shawn Wilson described the wait for capital funding to address critical needs, such as that at EMS, as “outrageous.” He said the district is “working gung-ho” on the Grandview site, but “even if they give us the money tomorrow, it’s another three years (before the school would be ready).” “You’re never really catching up. It’s just a moving target that’s always behind.” Purchase of land for the new secondary school was approved by the provincial government in 2011, and the site was acquired the following summer. At that time, ministry officials ranked construction of the facility fourth in priority, behind the new Clayton North Secondary school and additions at Adams Road

District plans to add 35 assistants i from page 1 “We depend on these EA hours not only for her safety – as she could go in to cardiac arrest at any time – but also for help in the classroom.” Another said her son’s hours are also being reduced, despite the fact his behaviour once prompted his school to be evacuated. A third said she was advised her child’s hours with EA support would be cut drastically unless she got a doctor’s letter saying the boy (who has autism) requires additional support in the classroom. That parent spends hours advocating for her child, and worries other parents won’t be able to do the same. However, the Surrey School District says the confusion about EA cuts stems from two things: a glitch in the computerized government system that isn’t yet showing the hundreds of new kindergarten students entering B.C. schools in September, and a miscommunication of the new system of doling out EA hours. While the provincial government’s student information system has deducted the EA hours of the Grade 7s who are leaving for high school, it hasn’t added in the kindergarten enrol-

ment numbers for fall. That has resulted in an inaccurate picture – and, in many cases, an apparent reduction in total EA hours. As for apparent changes for individual students, Rick Ryan, deputy superintendent of the school district (previously the director of special education in Surrey) says services to children with learning needs will not be reduced. “The board has not made any reductions, they’ve in fact added hours,” he said. That was confirmed by Shawn Wilson, chair of the Surrey Board of Education, who said that not only is the current number of EAs in the district being maintained, plans are in the works to hire another 35 for fall. The difference for the coming year, explained Ryan, is that instead of principals simply receiving a block of EA time, they’ve been shown where those hours come from and how they’re allocated per student, so administrators can see the level of need for each child. As has been the case for several years, principals still have the discretion to use the total EA hours at their school where they see fit. To concerned parents such as Keefe, Ryan advises seeking clari-

fication with the school principal. “Hours are going to flow and principals are going to have discretion. If that was my child, I would say ‘so, tell me what support is going to look like for my child. Don’t tell me about eight hours because I know you have discretion. I need the confidence that my child’s needs are going to be attended to and so tell me how that’s going to happen,’” he said. “If I were a principal, I would say ‘well, clearly it’s going to look a lot like it did last year, so don’t get caught in the 27, 25 or eight, get caught up in the support and the plan that we are responsible to provide.’” Ryan noted that according to the School Act, EA time is technically teacher-assistant time, not student-assistant time, to ensure classrooms are well-supported. “Obviously, the more complex a child is, the more one-on-one support they’re going to require,” Ryan says. “But what we’re wanting the teacher and the EA and the principal to be able to do is to use judgment to say ‘how do we best support all our learners?’” Ryan said the district is working to clarify things, and principals who seek changes must contact the district.

the stability of the slope. The plan also recommends an annual inspection of the trees to determine their structural integrity, the removal of unstable or rotting trees, the removal of invasive species like the blackberries, and a periodic culling of vegetation that does not contribute to slope stability. The recent work was necessary to gain complete access to the site. Before this work started, the area was virtually impenetrable due to the blackberry infestation. This is the ﬁrst time the City has been able to determine the physical features and slope of the land since the 1960s. At least two rotting wooden retaining walls have been discovered that were not in any records. Besides allowing unfettered access to the site, the scrub removal allows the City to prepare an accurate landscape plan. Anything done before that would have been guesswork at best. The next steps will be to design and build the new retaining walls and prepare a landscape plan for the area for public input. I understand the City’s ﬁrst draft of the plan will focus on native species that can successfully compete against the blackberries and the scrub alders. As much as possible, tree roots will remain to assist in slope stability. Eventually, this area will be recovered with native plants. Now that the slope landscape is visible, it appears there may be some opportunities to create some usable park space. Landscape plans will be made available to the public as soon as they are prepared.

Capital-funding wait ‘outrageous’

There has been a great deal written about the removal of trees and underbrush along Marine Drive, most of which is not true. I would like to share the facts. The hillside abutted the white rock before the railway. To create right of way for the railroad, the slope was cleared and the road, Washington Avenue, was relocated to its present location. Any statements that the trees on the hump are “old growth” are incorrect. The trees are relatively new and only matured in the past twenty to ﬁfty years as shown by the archived photograph from the 1950s. The work to remove the brush and scrub trees was proposed and planned by the 2011 – 2014 Council. It was supposed to have taken place in 2014; however, the City only recently received approval of the landowner (BNSFR). The primary purpose of the work is to ensure slope stabilization and the secondary focus is to provide a community amenity. In 2012, 2011 and 1994, the City has commissioned geotechnical engineering reports on the condition of the retaining walls and the stability of the slope. Additionally, the City received a draft Vegetation Management Plan in 2012 that was never formally presented to Council or the public. The engineering reports recommended to immediately replace the wooden retaining walls (which were likely built in the early 1960s), and to assess the condition of and possibly replace the metal retaining walls. The reports also introduced a sustainable vegetation management plan to focus City efforts on vegetation that contributes to

The event was a collaboration between the generations – the teens, in Grades 11 and 12 at Semiahmoo Secondary, and the seniors, residents of Evergreen Baptist Care Home – that was two months in the making, and set to the song Uptown Funk.

Surrey RCMP are appealing for additional witnesses in connection with a crash May 26 in South Surrey that trapped four youth in a vehicle wedged under a semi trailer. Monday afternoon, Cpl. Scotty Schumann confirmed that a driver who had reportedly fled the scene of the suspected streetracing incident has now been identified as a 17-year-old Surrey boy, however, neither of the drivers involved are co-operating with the investigation. The crash occurred around 11:40 p.m. at the intersection of 176

No panacea

here can be no doubt that last week’s provincial infusion of cash to pay for extra surgeries throughout B.C. is good news, especially for anyone who has had to endure the often-harrowing wait for a much-needed procedure. In the Fraser Health region – including White Rock-South Surrey Health Services and Peace Arch Hospital – it means a chance to make even further advances on the catching up done earlier this year, thanks to Fraser Health’s judicious use of a budget surplus. But make no mistake. The $10 million assigned by Health Minister Terry Lake for patients who have waited longer than 40 weeks for surgery – as welcome as it is – can be no more than a Band-Aid for a chronically ailing system. It will solve some problems in the short term, but anyone on the front lines knows it will be hard to consolidate any gains after these extra surgeries are done. It will not eradicate the demand for future operations, and it likely won’t be long before waiting lists begin to climb to unacceptable levels again. Indeed, the cash paid by the province is a clear admission that the current “pay-forperformance” system is not the panacea that some hoped it would be. There are only a finite number of efficiencies that can be employed by our hospitals in the face of almost infinite demand. Fraser Health made the best use it could of a budget surplus to bring waiting lists down, but, under the present provincial system, still may face financial penalties for several hundred surgery waits that, by 2014, had extended beyond one year. Financial threats and “incentives” are obviously not working. Lake’s surgery bail-out is also an admission that the existing public health system is unable to meet the needs of the population – some of the taxpayers’ money used to address the current backlog will end up going to private clinics. Professional health-care practitioners have argued for years that better planning needs to be done with regard to our health system, particularly in light of aging baby-boom generations that are living longer and placing ever more demands on the infrastructure. Their advice needs to be heeded. Yes, the immediate help is welcome. But while throwing money at a problem – whether it goes to public or private facilities – may be politically expedient, it is not a long-term, sustainable answer. Surgical wait times are a symptom of much deeper systemic ills. And there’s a big difference between managing a symptom and effecting a lasting cure.

So far this week you’ve said…

yes 45% no 55% 77 responding rarely go away with age. In fact, they usually worsen. And that makes government inaction and anemic funding response a financial fallacy and a social crime. Providing specialized services to mentally ill children is expensive, yes. The cost of failing to treat is far greater. In classrooms, special needs kids divert teachers’ time and attention from other students. That can affect the quality of education for the entire class. Treatment for any human ailment is virtually always easier and less expensive earlier rather than later. Certainly that must be so for mental health. As the teen years progress, so does the potential for mental disorders to become exacerbated by peer pressures, exposure to drugs and alcohol, and frustration with social identity, to name just a few of the increasingly complex factors. When mental-health problems begin to manifest in a larger context, the potential for severe situations also increases. Homelessness would be one. Many of the people living on the street suffer from mental illness. Likely they did as children as well. Criminal activity would be another. Homelessness is mundane compared to the cost of crime in terms of enforcement, justice and incarceration. And then there’s the potential of violence, which can carry a price beyond value. It brings new meaning to the expression, “Pity the children.” Andrew Holota is editor of the Abbotsford News, sister paper to the Peace Arch News.

Other views on the ‘hump’

There must be class limits

Editor: Re: We should have had a bluff plan: Baldwin, June 3. The public wasn’t invited to comment prior to the city’s interference with, and denuding of, the ‘hump’. Too bad. I’d have humbly offered a warning about fiddling around with hillsides. We once bought a house on the top of a cliff in White Rock, the land behind it having slid away into the sea 30 years before. A practicing geologist/professor at UBC was hired to examine the site for stability. His report had heavy emphasis on safety: “Never ever interfere with the toe of a slope or what grows upon it, as this would be courting disaster.” While it’s appreciated that the mayor admits there should have been a plan for the ‘hump’, his remarks show why. There was no plan “because we didn’t know what the ground was like” and “now that the vegetation has been removed, engineers are able to see the slope more clearly.” He thinks that makes “a lot of sense in terms of planning and designing” as he wants to landscape it! It would have made more sense to leave the thing alone. The city’s chief engineer says the retaining walls will be inspected and repaired and the hillside will be replanted to “improve stability.” Good grief! Maybe the whole thing was a bad dream or someone’s ill-considered make-work project. Mary Garner, White Rock Q Re: Grateful for ocean eyeline, June 3 letters. I think it’s just lovely that letterwriter John P. (Jack) Scott’s view has been improved, in his opinion, but I must question just where all these cars that previously rushed by the ‘hump’ are now stopping to admire this view. Is it on the roadway? Well, that’s not a very good idea, is it? I guess what I am actually questioning is the assertion that many inhabitants of these cars are suddenly so breath-taken by the view that they simply must immediately stop their cars and photograph it. Before the ‘hump’ clearing, I often walked the ‘hump’ and enjoyed the lovely view, including the trees. There were many spots where one could clearly see the water. Obviously, one of those wasn’t where Mr. Scott’s window faced. But, any of those were places where these suddenly enthralled cars could have stopped to admire. Oddly, I never once saw this happening. I feel the headline to Scott’s letter says it all. This is everything to do with his view and nothing to do with anyone or anything else. Many of us who have lived here even longer are not impressed with what has happened to our lovely ‘hump’ and the entire beach ambience. We find it ugly and depressing. Jane Mantle, White Rock

Editor: Re: Time for teachers to question union, May 6 column. As usual, columnist Tom Fletcher’s twisted and disrespectful comments against the BCTF leadership persist. He chooses to ignore the reality that the leadership is directed by teachers to uphold their contractual fight. The court ruling against teachers was a dark day for unionism, our children and our future as a society; we can’t be supported by an uneducated, unemployable next generation. The BC Liberals’ Bill 22 is the culprit of today’s legal battles. It set a precedent. Previously negotiated language was struck out by the stroke of a pen. A generation of children have graduated from a system that continues to be underfunded, held together by dedicated, all-too-often stressed-out professionals. Class size and composition is what protects teaching and learning conditions. Anyone who says otherwise is misinformed. Can we put one nurse in charge of 20 patients and expect good care? There must be class limits in order to teach all children well. It is a disservice to a special-needs child when a teacher is unable to

carry out an individual education plan. If we don’t limit the number of special-needs students in a class, there isn’t enough physical space for all their educational assistants. Parents know that teachers are fighting for kids, not their own comfort, and the millions spent by the BC Liberals to change this during the last strike proved ineffective. It is undemocratic for governments to renege on collective agreements. It’s vital for teachers to fight this at the Supreme Court of Canada. I believe there is wholehearted support from all parents and, for that matter, teachers and workers across Canada. Niovi Patsicakis, Surrey

Crows warrant a major recount Editor: Re: Doing nothing puts birds at risk, May 29 letters. Many thanks to letter-writer Dianne Weremy for bringing forward her concern about too many crows. When I moved here in 2000, the four large trees near my apartment were filled with birds of every kind and description. Then, about five years ago, the crows moved in. They killed the baby birds and chased parents away. Now, where we

used to hear birdsong, there is only the abrasive sounds of crows. On a several occasions, the crows have held conventions in the skies, and their numbers are staggering. The swooping and swirling black clouds of crows resemble something out of Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds. It is long past time that their numbers were drastically reduced. Pat Tietzen, White Rock Q I couldn’t agree more with letterwriter Dianne Weremy. Look around you, folks, as the big black crows are everywhere, and mostly in the residential areas, because, as I have seen, people feed them on our sidewalks and even from their balconies. Why anyone would want to encourage these ‘pitbull of birds’ to hang around is beyond me. They are loud, aggressive, and territorial. I have seen them attack squirrels, racoons, other birds and bunnies that frequent our neighbourhood. Most have now dissipated as the crows continue to rule the roost. I have also tried my own humane efforts to eliminate them, but as long as people feed them, they will not leave their food source. There are no city bylaws against feeding the wildlife, so we have incorporated our own strata bylaw not to do so, and I suggest other stratas do the same to at least eliminate some of this nasty problem. Cheryl Berti, White Rock

A prank 911 call about a violent domestic incident brought fear to young children and teachers, writes M.L. Walker.

Hoax was not without casualties Editor: Re: Prank 911 call triggers huge response, June 5. Worst day of my life at work/school. Code red, a real one. My kindergarten students rushing inside being chased by police to get them to safety. I jumped to do what I needed to do, locking windows/ doors, closing blinds, hiding the children and keeping them quiet. Holding four of them as their tears soak my shirt as they muffle their cries. Holding them, telling they were going to be OK. Assuring them that I would keep them safe. All the while wondering, was my son safely inside the school? Wishing he was with me. Hearing sirens, helicopters, yelling and then chilling silence. Footsteps in the hallway, intruder or police? Holding our breath.

Turns out the 911 domestic call with shots fired was a hoax. This makes me so angry! Children traumatized for no reason. Teachers wondering if we will need to lay down our lives for our kids. Visions of Sandy Hook alive in our minds. We love our students, and this senseless act has hurt them and us, their teachers. Thank you to the police, canine unit, SWAT team, firefighters and paramedics for your hard work. Thank you to my colleagues for working as a team securing our school. Lastly, loads of love to all my friends and family. We never know when our last day will be, and I want all of you to know I was thinking about all of you and how special you are to me. M.L.

White Rock fire crews are investigating after a blaze broke out in the garage of a Kerfoot Road house Friday (June 5) afternoon. Deputy fire Chief Ed Wolfe said no one was home at the time of the fire, which was reported by a passerby around 3:30 p.m. Damage was confined to the garage area, and largely to its contents, Wolfe said Monday. Crews were able to knock the

fire down quickly, and Wolfe said there is no indication at this point that its cause is suspicious in nature. The fire was the start of what Wolfe described as a busy weekend. While no major fires occurred, crews did have to deal with a number of small brush fires – which were mainly triggered by carelessly discarded smoking materials. None of the fires got out of

control, but they’re a good reminder – especially during this hot, dry time – of the need to be particularly careful. The fire department also fielded a number of illegalburning complaints over the weekend. The city has a bylaw that prohibits burning year-round, and Wolfe encouraged residents to be vigilant in reporting any violations. – Tracy Holmes

RENOVATIONS

Cash injection to fund procedures – some by private clinics

PAH hopeful over new surgery plan Jeff Nagel & Alex Browne Black Press

Patients who have endured excessive waits for surgery – including Semiahmoo Peninsula residents – may get into the operating room faster this summer. The province is injecting $10 million into the system to perform an extra 1,000 surgeries provincewide in an effort to reduce wait times. The extra money will be targeted for patients who have waited longer than 40 weeks for surgery, Health Minister Terry Lake said last week. Orthopedic surgeries, cataracts, hernias, plastic surgeries and ear, nose and throat procedures will be eligible for accelerated treatment. Lake said the money will open up extra operating room time in hospitals across the province, and in some cases it will be used to contract private clinics to perform extra day surgeries. “Patients want to have their surgeries done,” Lake told reporters. “If the quality is there and if it reduces wait lists and it’s paid for and administered by the public system, I think British Columbians would agree with that approach.” The additional funding is good news for patients in the Peninsula, according to Rhonda Veldhoen, executive director of White Rock-South Surrey Health Services and Peace Arch Hospital. “We are continually working to improve our patients’ experience, especially when it comes to surgical wait times,” she said. “Earlier this year, we committed to performing 650 additional surgeries in order to address those waiting the longest for elective procedures. We beat that target and performed over 800 additional surgeries in February and March, many of which were performed at Peace Arch Hospital.” Veldhoen said the announcement of new funding is “very welcomed.” “(It) will help us further reduce our waitlists, and ultimately improve our patient’s experience when in our

Surgery wait-times are expected to be shorter after the province’s $10-million investment. care.” Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said the region is anticipating an additional 2,300 surgeries by the end of the year, including cataract, hernia, gall bladder and orthopedic operations. The new funding will provide “up to an additional 500 surgeries over the summer and many more throughout the year,” she said. “Our plans will focus on patients who have waited more than 40 weeks for surgery to help these patients get the care they need.”

Tent

Earlier this year, Fraser Health reallocated a budget surplus to perform seven per cent more surgeries to reduce wait lists. It’s not yet known if Fraser Health will still be charged financial penalties under the province’s pay-forperformance system for several hundred surgery waits that in late 2014 threatened to extend longer than a year. Further provincial cash infusions for surgery increases are expected in the fall and early next year. Along with the promised short-term

relief, the province is also pursuing longerrange measures to make the surgical system more efficient. Many family doctors often refer to the same heavily booked surgeon, while other surgeons are sometimes idle. Lake said one alternative may be to instead shift to a pool of surgeons where patients get assigned to the first one available. Similarly, patients who face a long wait to get into their local hospital may be urged to instead get their surgery performed at another hospital an hour or so down the road where OR time is going unused. Juma said patients and doctors in White Rock and South Surrey can visit the website Soonest Surgery Tool to find names of surgeons most likely able to perform their surgery sooner than others. More recruitment and training of anesthetists and surgical nurses is also part of the long-

Petition delivered at Port Metro Vancouver AGM

Coal-port foes vow to keep fighting Jeff Nagel Black Press

Opponents of a planned coal-export terminal on the Fraser River are vowing to keep the fight going. They made that clear last week at Port Metro Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual general meeting, where Crescent Beach resident Paula Williams, organizer for the group Communities and Coal, presented a petition opposing the plan by Fraser Surrey Docks to load coal onto ships in the river.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is widespread opposition to your project,â&#x20AC;? states the petition to Fraser Surrey Docksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; CEO signed by more than 3,000 people and endorsed by 50 businesses and organizations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We urge you to abandon plans for this coal port and seek a different path forward.â&#x20AC;? It reiterates concerns about more coal trains rolling through White Rock, Delta and Surrey. Fraser Surrey Docks announced last month itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now proposing to load the coal

directly to ships rather than barging it to Texada Island. Two court challenges are underway. In a separate action, Fraser Surrey Docks is challenging Metro Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s power to regulate regional air quality, arguing it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have jurisdiction on federal port lands. That case was to go to trial this month but has been adjourned. Port officials approved the project last summer.

A 16-year-old South Surrey student suffered bruises and cuts last month when he stepped up to protect a friend from a stranger. White Rock RCMP Const. Shaileshni Molison said that little information could be shared about the May 21 incident, as the investigation is ongoing. However, the teen, in Grade 11 at Earl Marriott Secondary, told Peace Arch News he was walking back to school after grabbing lunch with two friends that day when a car pulled over. The driver jumped out and pulled a woman out through the passenger-side window, and then the pair were â&#x20AC;&#x153;in each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faces,â&#x20AC;? the teen said. Things went sideways when the woman went to get back in the car and one of the EMS friends questioned why she would do that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For some reason, the girl took offence to it and charged at my friendâ&#x20AC;Ś slapped her coffee out of her hand,â&#x20AC;? the teen told PAN. The teen said he was assaulted when he stepped in front of his friend as the driver also started in her direction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really quite sure what happened.

A financial boost from local Rotarians will help send students from the South Surrey/White Rock Learning Centre to an outdoor school on the Indian Arm this fall. The three days at Camp Jubilee is hoped to challenge the teens, while developing leadership skills they can put to use in the local community, principal Joe McConnell told Rotary Club of South Surrey members during a presentation Wednesday morning. The students will experience “an environment they may not be totally comfortable with,” McConnell said, noting iPhones and the like will not be part of the outdoor education. Things like kayaking, archery and a high-ropes course, however, will be on the itinerary. It’s hoped the leadership skills learned “will change the culture of the school,” McConnell said. McConnell described the learning centre as a school for kids that – for whatever reason – are not successful in mainstream high school. There are five such learning centres in the Surrey School District and this year, about 50 students who would not have graduated otherwise will receive their Dogwood. The local group includes a teen who used to be a national-level swimmer when her life went a bit off-course. She graduated last week with “unbelievable marks” and a $35,000 Cmolik Foundation full-ride scholarship

Career-education facilitator Susan Martin emphasized that the learning centre is no less of a high school than the Peninsula’s other high schools, “we just do things differently.” “What we’re trying to do is meet the students’ needs… so we can help students graduate.” Martin said she was “amazed and delighted” by the Rotary club’s donation

Your Digital Assets in Death In this age of technology, almost everyone has some type of digital or electronic asset, whether it be an email, Facebook or iCloud account, photos stored on the Internet, purchased music / movies / ebooks, or a Paypal or ebank account with online statements. Once a person has passed, their executor or family is left to deal with the digital assets of the person along with any physical assets. In Canada, there is no law that allows executors access to the deceased person’s digital assets. The executor’s access will depend upon the service provider’s Terms and Conditions as per the original agreement accepted by the now deceased person. These Terms and Conditions can differ for each service provider. For example, the licenses for iTunes songs and Kindle ebooks downloaded by the deceased is nontransferable and the account is automatically cancelled. Some service providers may allow you to set up an inactive account manager. The inactive account manager would be notiÀed if the account is not used for an extended period of time and they may be permitted to download or transfer the contents of the account. It is in your best interest to regularly back up the contents of your digital accounts and keep that copy in a secure location where your executor has access to it. In addition, to simplify your executor’s job, it is recommended that you compile a list of your digital assets, their user names, account numbers, passwords and answers to security questions. For more detailed explanations, we recommend you consult your lawyer.

do we need to know about Q: What buying our first home? your first home can be both A: Buying exciting and intimidating. Here are some 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.

Border celebration cancelled in 2013

Hands event returns to Peace Arch Park Hands Across the Border is making a comeback. Revival of the popular event that historically drew thousands of Scouts and Guides from both sides of the border to Peace Arch Park is set for June 14. The event was held for 90 years before its cancellation in February 2013 due to a lack of funding. “Rising costs over the past several years, along with diminished donations, have made the continuation of this event impossible,” Peace Arch Association spokesperson John Liebert said at the time. Officials with the United States Canada Peace Anniversary Association said last week that they

took up the charge after fielding “numerous” emails and phone calls from people wanting the event back. An online survey held last summer confirmed interest and ideas for a comeback – and improvements – were alive and well. Festivities planned include a parade and ribbon cutting to “reopen the portal.” The 1st Nanaimo Cub Pack, the 1st Clover Valley Pathfinders and Girl Scout Ferndale Troop #52585 were chosen to cut the ribbon. Volunteers are still needed. For more information on how to get involved, visit www. handsacrosstheborder.info/volunteer. html – Tracy Holmes

to come and tour the new facility, meet some adoptable animals and learn how the public’s generous donations are used,” says Surrey BC SPCA Education & Adoption Centre manager Rodney Weleschuk. “It is a fundraising event with proceeds going to help the animals in need in our care, but also, a thoroughly enjoyable summer evening event. We’re hoping for a great turnout from the local community.” Tickets to the event are $25, and are available online at www.spca.bc.ca. For more information, call the Surrey SPCA at 604-576-8960 or email surrey@spca.bc.ca – Nick Greenizan

and resistance increased as time went on. By June 1944, with the Allied landings in Normandy, the Dutch were optimistic. With British and Canadian forces heading through Belgium towards Holland, Dutch workers decided on a general strike to tie down the German army. Holland expected to be liberated, but was instead, by the fall, an open-air prison. “Anything the Germans could confiscate, they did,” recalls DeVries. He describes the former Jewish neighbourhoods of Amsterdam as nothing but bricks. Already emptied of their people, the homes were picked apart for firewood as winter closed in. DeVries says people today take things for granted that were almost impossible to find in Holland late in the occupation: salt, sugar, tea, soap, fruit, meat or new clothes. DeVries’ father made rubber soles for the family’s shoes. Also unavailable were bicycle tires. The bike-loving and adaptive Dutch sawed strips of solid rubber from truck tires and attached them to their bicycle wheels. ••• It was on his worn-out bike, with solid rubber tires thumping › see page 20

Canadian veterans cheered as Holland’s liberation recalled › from page 19 on cobblestones, that Dewey DeVries rode east from Amsterdam in January 1945 to a farm belonging to his grandparents in Apeldoorn. It took two days to ride 120 kilometres. His overnight stay was with a widow in the town of Putten. Her husband had been

executed the previous autumn by the Germans following an ambush and the killing of a German officer by the Dutch resistance. Shortly after DeVries arrived at the family farm, he was forced to stay there for two weeks because of heavy snow. His ride back home was more difficult. He had to bypass

roadblocks and navigate his way home in the dark – there were no house lights or streetlights during the five-year blackout. His parents were surprised by a knock at the door in the middle of the night. Their son, not heard from for almost three weeks, arrived with a bounty: 50 pounds of

grain, some rye bread, one pound of butter (which had to be shared with another family) and some apples. DeVries’ mother ground the wheat in a coffee grinder and made flat bread – there was no yeast. The food helped them carry on into the early spring. Dewey DeVries made

ith summer fast approaching it is a good time to check if you have the proper protection for your eyes. At Boardwalk Optometry we recommend ultraviolet protection at all times, but especially in the summer when the sun is at its most intense. Your sunglasses should block out 99 to 100% of UVA and UVB rays, but there are other features which can give you more comfortable vision. Polarized lenses eliminate reflected glare from any flat, smooth or shiny surface for a cleaner, crisper view. This includes glare from the water, making polarized a great choice for anyone who spends time at the beach, likes fishing or water sports. A good quality polarized sunglass, such as Maui Jim, will have its polarized layer inside the lens and not just a film that can scratch or peel off. A waterproof coating will help to shed water and an oleophobic coating will repel grease and make any smudges (from sunscreen!) easier to wipe off.

A mirror coating will give added protection by deflecting some of the bright light making it useful in bright conditions. It is important to know that paying a high price does not guarantee sufficient protection. The only way to assess UV protection in a lens is to have it measured by a properly equipped optician. We invite you to bring in your current glasses and we will measure the UV protection.

the same trip a second time, this time by car, in May 2015. ••• In 1948, at the age of 18, DeVries emigrated to Canada and learned how to milk a cow. “If things ever turn bad…,” he says, with a laugh. He was sponsored to work on a dairy farm in Abbotsford by his future father-in-law (and an old family friend), and married Canadian-born Dina in 1952. His father and the rest of the family also lived and worked in the area. “The farms are still there,” he says. Later, he went into the construction business in Surrey and had a successful career before retiring. This month, at the age of 85, DeVries took his four daughters (he also has two sons), a granddaughter and a grandson back to Holland for the 70th anniversary of the liberation. He retraced his old bike route, and on May 9, stood with the cheering crowds and greeted Canadian veterans in the city of Apeldoorn, just like he did in Amsterdam 70

Crowds celebrate the liberation of Holland. years earlier. “To me, that’s a very important occasion.” DeVries remembers as liberation approached, when the Allied bombers – in agreement with Germans now fearful of post-war legal repercussions – dropped food by parachute. After de Vries retrieved one airdropped package, his mother cooked her first-ever bully beef, a British staple. DeVries was also there when the Germans began to panic and fought pitched battles in the streets with the desperate Dutch. Twenty-two civilians died. “The Germans said

they would surrender to the Canadians, not the Dutch resistance.” On May 5, 1945, Canadian soldiers marched in to Amsterdam, their hands slapped by adoring crowds. DeVries had never heard bagpipes before. And the country’s relationship with Canada would never be the same. Every five years since, Canadian soldiers return to grateful Holland. When de Vries visited his homeland in 1995 for the 50th anniversary of the liberation, there were 7,500 Canadian veterans there. This year, there were just 100.

Bats play an integral role in our ecosystems

Powerful allies fly by night I n earlier times, bats were associated with evil, witchcraft and darkness, as Macbeth’s Shakespearean witches show. They haunted tombs and churchyards, and allegedly sucked blood Roy Strang (though that’s true only of a few vampire species). They’re associated with death in several Mesoamerican cultures, and to some of our First Nations peoples they are tricksters. While they can carry rabies, only about 0.5 per cent are rabid. And Canada has recorded just three deaths from bat-carried rabies. Perhaps nowadays it’s only at Halloween that people think at all about bats, and maybe not even then, although there are some 1,240 species occur worldwide and 16 species are found in B.C. All this bad publicity is unfortunate because bats are an integral part of our ecosystems, and they are at risk even although they are protected in B.C. under the Wildlife Act. They make a significant impact on our comfort in the outdoors because of their huge appetites; insectivorous bats eat about a third of their body weight in insects each night and this can add up to several thousands of insects in a few hours. One scientist has calculated that 1,000 bats eat four tons of insects each year; another estimates that a single little brown myotis bat, weighing only six grams, will consume as many as 600 insects in each hour of feeding. A University of Florida test bat-house hosts some 300,000 bats, which together are estimated to eat about 2.5 billion insects – weighing more than 1,000 kg – each night. While their appetites help us enjoy the outdoors, they are still more significant in our agriculture. They prey voraciously on pests of apple, cherry, peach and pear trees, corn, potatoes and wheat; their diet includes beetles, caddis flies, carpenter ants, crickets, lacewings, moths, scorpions, termites and those notorious Scottish pests, midges. Without bats, there would be an increased demand for insecticides,

Bats are an important part of our ecosystems.

with all the attendant risks and drawbacks that entails. Some tropical species are pollinators, others disperse seeds in their excrement after eating fruit. Bats have few predators, but human activities threaten their survival: we destroy their hibernating sites, some times deliberately, other times inadvertently; our buildings result in major and harmful habitat changes; wind turbines can be lethal to bats, just as they are to birds; insecticides sprayed to protect crops bio-accumulate in bats as they eat insects which have absorbed the chemicals. It’s a bit like eating the goose that lays golden eggs.

We can and should take steps to minimize the harm we cause. We should recognize and protect current and potential roosting or hibernating sites, and this includes standing dead and wildlife trees. We can keep cats indoors, which will help birds, too. We can build and install simple bat houses painted black to absorb heat; plans for effective bat houses are available at www.batcom.org or from Bat Conservation International’s BCI Bat house Builders’ Handbook: recommended dimensions are for bottomless boxes about 50cm x 60cm x 10cm with a two-cm entry opening on the underside, and they should be sited to catch morning sunshine. They are more complicated that bird-nesting boxes but well within an ordinary carpenter’s ability. The Bat Conservation Society of Canada at Box 56042, Airways Postal Outlet, Calgary T2E 8K5 can also provide information. Just remember that, despite old myths, bats are powerful allies, not enemies.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Pier concerts

Players’ club season

The sounds of music will be hitting the White Rock waterfront in a new Saturday night fiveconcert series featuring highprofile acts this summer, and the price is just right – free. Tuesday evening, the City of White Rock and the White Rock BIA – with the help of major sponsorship from TD Canada Trust – announced the lineup for TD Concerts At The Pier from July 4 to Aug. 8. Headlining the 7-10 p.m. concerts will be Good For Grapes (July 4); Fast Romantics (July 11); The Boom Booms (July 18); Gary Comeau and the Voodoo All Stars (July 25) and The Matinee (Aug. 8). Supporting acts will include Tea Petrovic, David Sinclair, Rich Hope, Ben Rogers, Tonye Aganaba, Bend Sinister, Colleen Rennison, Sarah Wheeler, Blue Moon Marquee and Lester Quitzau.

White Rock Players’ Club has released details of its upcoming 2015-16 season. First show will be Arthur Miller’s classic tragedy, Death of a Salesman (Oct. 7-24), followed by the annual Christmas pantomime, which this year will be an update of Charlotte Johnson’s 1960 Cinderella (Dec. 4 - Jan. 2). Next up will be Marc Camoletti’s 1960s farce Boeing, Boeing (March 2-19) and Noel Coward’s Private Lives (April 13-30). The announced season closer is to be an audacious double production – both male and female versions of The Odd Couple, by Neil Simon, presented in alternate performances. Meanwhile, the club’s current show, I Hate Hamlet, continues to June 20 at Coast Capital Playhouse. Paul Rudnick’s 1991 dramatic comedy, directed by Dale Kelly, is about young actor Andrew Rally (Matt Loop) who hopes to please his girlfriend Dierdre (Rebekah McEwan), his agent Lillian Troy (Sheila Keating), his real estate agent Felicia (Coleen Byberg) – and mollify the ghost of legendary actor John Barrymore (John Cousins) – by playing Hamlet on stage. Performances are Wednesday to Saturday at 8 p.m., with a 2:30 p.m. Sunday matinee June 14. Coast Capital Playhouse is located at 1532 Johnston Rd. Tickets are $18 for adults, $16 for students and seniors. To reserve, call 604-536-7535.

Semiahmoo Strings Fans of lush string ensembles are in for a treat when the Peninsula’s own Semiahmoo Strings present their year-end concert, String Potpourri, Friday, June 12, at 7:30 p.m., at Earl Marriott Secondary’s Wheelhouse Theatre. Special guests, the VSO School of Music String Ensembles, will help create what co-director Harold Birston describes as “the richest string sound we could possibly muster.” The program, conducted by artistic director Carla Birston, will include Elgar’s Serenade for Strings, Rossini’s Overture to The Barber of Seville and Borodin’s In the Steppes of Central Asia. The orchestra will also welcome three dazzling soloists: principal cellist Yu An Cheng performing Tchaikovsky’s Andante Cantabile, Alan Liu, classical guitar soloist for Faure’s Pavane, and guitarist Braden Williams, in Harold Birston’s arrangement of the music from The Magnificent Seven. Tickets ($12, $8 students and seniors) are available Tapestry Music or by calling 604-538-1460.

Pier headliners

Contributed photo

B.C.-based indie-folk band Good For Grapes will be the first headliners (July 4) for this summer’s Saturday night TD Concerts At The Pier series, presented by the City of White Rock and the White Rock Business Improvement Association.

at Ocean Park Community Hall (1577 128 St.). Both the Corleone and Soprano families are warring in this melange of melody and mirth, mobster-style directed by the singers’ musical director and sometime accompanist Jonathan Wiltse and equipped with a cheeky script by Ron Flaterud. Tickets are available from the legion, chorus members or by calling Denny O’Donovan at 604-536-7983 or by visiting www. pacificshowtime.com

Swamp City Randy (Mojo Zydeco) Schultz’s new band, Swamp City makes its Peninsula debut with a CD release party Saturday, June 13, at 8 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240. As the name suggests, the southern roots of the music are strong, but now with a wider range of influences than simply zydeco (although the washboard is still a part of it, and Schultz admits he’ll still pick up the accordion once in a while). Like all Schultz projects, the emphasis is on upbeat, feelgood, toe-tapping Southernstyle dance music – but it’s also agreeably eccentric, with some highly individual Schultz-built instruments, including a guitar with a license plate resonator,

and a sophisticated version of the traditional washtub bass. Joining Schultz in Swamp City are such stalwarts of the local scene as Tony Rees (vocals, guitar, slide, harmonica) and Kat Wahamaa (vocals, guitar. mandolin and percussion) – a long-time duo as Kat and Tony – plus Mickey Hovan (Wheat In The Barley, bass) and Delta Joe Backus (Token Rhyme, Joe’s Basement) on drums. The Crescent Branch is located at 2643 128 St. Tickets, $15, are available at Tapestry Music and at the legion, 604-535-1080.

Student showcase Expect an afternoon of delightful music and nostalgic recollections in South Surrey this weekend. Current students and distinguished alumni of wellrespected Ocean Park violin teacher Erika Bennedik will be on hand for a special 30th anniversary student recital, Saturday, June 13 at 3 p.m. at Mount Olive Lutheran Church, 2350 148 St. In addition to soloists and four quartet ensembles, guest musicians will include Allene Chomyn, Jared Gill and accompanist Derek Stanyer. For more information, call 604538-5057.

Panels, panels, panels Abstract visual artist Joyce Ozier will bring her exhibit ‘Marked Panels. Panels. Panels.’ to White Rock Community Centre (15154 Russell Ave.) from June 18 to July 17. A remount of a show first presented at Vancouver’s Zack Gallery in October, it consists of large panels (in excess of six feet by six feet) featuring her colourful improvisational brushstroke technique. The size of each painting, says Ozier, “allows the viewer to be involved physically, rather than being solely an observer… it allows for simplicity, dynamic gesture, playfulness and indeterminacy.” Ozier, whose career has included experimental theatre, arts management, teaching and building the award-winning WOW! WINDOWS Display and Design company, is a graduate of Skidmore College in the U.S. Holder of a master’s degree in theatrical design from UBC, she was also a visual arts resident at the Banff Centre for the Arts earlier this year. An opening reception for the show – presented as part of the Art on Display partnership of the City of White Rock and Semiahmoo Arts – will be held June 18, 7-9 p.m. at the centre.

Traditional jazz The two-beat sounds of Dixieland and retro jazz continue to set toes tapping at the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240 (2643 128 St.).

Admission is $10 for WRTJS and legion members, $12 for everybody else.

Young stars lead the way at provincial championships

Juniors on right track Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

f results from last weekend’s BC Track and Field Championships are any indication, South Surrey schools could be a year or two away from a true golden age of the sport. Normally, the highlights at provincials – held last week at Langley’s McLeod Athletic Park – are led by senior athletes, and while there were a handful of podium finishes to speak of at that level, it was the junior-aged athletes who really stole the show this year. The Semiahmoo Totems finished third overall in combined junior scores, led by the junior girls, who finished first, while the boys were third. “It’s the third provincial title in a row for this particular group,” said Semiahmoo track coach Scott Yewchuk. “Two years ago, they won in Grade 8/9, and then last year, when they changed the (divisions) to be Grades 9/10, they won again. “It was just a really great weekend to see them come through with some of the best performances of their lives.” The Totems were led by a quartet of runners – Alexa Porpaczy, Haley Ribeiro, Gabrielle Hack and Jessica Williams – who teamed up to win gold in both the junior girls 4x100-m and 4x400-m relays, and set B.C. records in both races, too. The foursome had strong individual results, as well. Porpaczy won the junior girls high jump with a mark of 1.7 m – a finish made more impressive considering the event bookended the 4x400-m relay. “She did the first round of the high jump, then went off and won the relay, and then came back, calmed down from that, and finished the high jump,” said Yewchuk. “It was pretty impressive – those two events are not exactly complementary.” Williams, meanwhile, was first in the 400-m and fourth in the 800-m, and Hack scooped a bronze medal in the triple jump and was sixth in the 400-m. Ribeiro had a top-10 finish in the 1,500-m steeplechase, to go with a fifth-place showing in the pentathlon, which was held in late May, along with other combined events. Other Semiahmoo juniors with strong showings included Connor Sinclair, who won gold – and set a new record – in the junior boys shotput, and also placed i see page 26

The Totems weren’t the only school with a strong showing at the junior level. Earl Marriott finished fourth overall, led by the junior girls in third. Cloverdale teams also rounded out the top schools in the junior girls team rankings – Clayton Heights was fourth, Lord Tweedsmuir was fifth and Sullivan Heights was sixth. In the 1,500-m junior girls steeplechase, Marriott’s Georgia Ginther won gold, and EMS teammate Jaxon Mackie was third in the boys steeplechase race. Jordan Hall and Tweedsmuir’s Amanda Moore finished third and fourth, respectively, in the 100-m dash, Marriott also placed second, behind Semi, in the junior girls 4x100 relay. Elgin Park’s Danielle Steer finished with a bronze medal in the girls 800-m.

At the senior level, Earl Marriott’s Matthew McLean won a silver medal in the boys 100-m dash – just one-tenth of a second off the goldmedal pace, and teammate Sterling Ginther won bronze in the boys 2,000-m steeplechase. Elgin Park’s Joel Della Siega won his school’s only gold medal, winning the senior boys high jump competition. Semiahmoo’s Chelsea Ribeiro placed second in the senior girls 1,500-m steeplechase, and Julia Greer finished sixth in the 800-m. In the senior boys 1,500-m race-walk, White Rock Christian Academy’s Riley Becker was fourth, while another fourth-place finish was scored by Marriott’s Chloe Alkema, in the senior girls pole vault. Tweedsmuir’s Ben Ingvaldson also had a strong weekend, wining the senior boys shotput, and also placing second in the hammer throw.

returns to Eagles’ nest Former National Hockey Leaguer Gary Nylund is back in the Surrey Eagles’ nest. On Thursday, the Eagles announced that Nylund – who played more than 600 games in the NHL with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Chicago Blackhawks and New York Islanders – would return to the team’s bench as an assistant coach. Nylund was on the team’s coaching staff, and also a minority owner, from 2010-12. He was part of the group – along with current team president Chuck Westgard and Boston Bruins’ assistant general manager Scott Bradley – who purchased the team from former owner Ronnie Paterson. “Adding someone

like Gary Nylund to our staff is incredibly exciting for our organization and we look forward to having his experience and presence,” said Eagles’ head coach and director of hockey operations Blaine Neufeld. “We have made a massive amount of progress over the past two months and now to officially announce Gary to our coaching staff solidifies our vision moving forward into the 2015/16 season.” Nylund, a Surrey resident and a longtime Delta firefighter, is excited to be back with the Eagles. “I owe a lot to the game of hockey and feel I need to give back and that I have something to offer,” he said. – Nick Greenizan

OBITUARIES

SPECHT, Sheron Esther (Nee Cooper) June 30, 1939 to June 3, 2015

On June 3, 2015 just short of her 76th birthday, Sheron Esther Specht was absent the body and present with her Lord and Saviour after a daunting 11 year contest with ovarian cancer. Survived by her loving husband Don, the light of her life daughter Alexa and son-in-law Alan Easton and precious granddaughters, Kaitlyn and Nicola, she was predeceased by her beloved son, Tyson, brother, William, father, Philip Cooper and mother, Esther Cooper. Residents of West Vancouver for 35 years, she and Don moved to the South Surrey area in 2013. Prior to winding up Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s law practice in 2009, Sheron had been his paralegal, mortgage business partner and office manager for more than 40 years. Born in Penticton, Sheron moved to the Coast when she was 19 to become a legal secretary. She and Don were married in 1962. A gentle women of integrity, Sheron was quietly diligent in all she undertook, a loving wife, mother, grandmother and homemaker, well loved and respected by family and friends. Though often suffering greatly from her illness, she unfailingly obeyed the fifth commandment in honouring her mother by tenderly caring for her to near the end of her 97th year. She attended North Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s St. Andrews Presbyterian until 2013 when she and Don joined White Rock Lutheran, a small but big-hearted congregation that enjoys a conservative fellowship association with St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Presbyterian congregation. Sheronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loving, calming presence will be long be missed in the evening and the morning, in troublous and in happy times and at the worship hours. She had a little girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delighted anticipation of Christmas, when she could happily plan gifting and family gatherings. Her greatest, latest joy was knowing that she was leaving her only daughter in the loving care of Linda Bordignon, who so many years ago had graciously given Alexa into our care in trust. If you wish to honour Sheronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory, you could do no better than make a gift to Union Gospel Mission, her favourite charity. Sheronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family wishes to give heartfelt thanks to all the members of the Peace Arch Hospital Hospice volunteers, nurses and care staff who provided her with such gentle and compassionate care during all the two month of her last days. A celebration of life will be held on Thursday, June 11th, 2015 at the St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Presbyterian Church 1480 George St., White Rock, B.C. at 11 am with lunch to follow the service. To write a condolence for the family, please visit www.mckenziefuneralservices.com
