Conservation encouraged as hot, dry weather results in record-low reservoir stores
Water levels hit ‘uncharted territory’ Jeff Nagel Black Press
Metro Vancouver has imposed stage 2 water use restrictions throughout the regional district to conserve drinking water in light of declining reservoir levels. The stored water supply in the regional district’s reservoirs is down to 79 per cent of their capacity as of June 28. That number has declined rapidly to
record low levels for this time of year as a result of weeks of hot, dry weather and the quick melt of a meagre snowpack. “We’re really into uncharted territory when we’re outside that normal range,” said Tim Jervis, Metro Vancouver’s water services general manager. The tougher restrictions under Metro’s Water Shortage Response Plan mean a drop to once-a-week-only sprinkling of lawns
– Mondays from 4 to 9 a.m. for even-numbered addresses and Thursday mornings for odd-numbered addresses. Watering of school yards, sports fields, park lawns, cemeteries, boulevards and golf course fairways are also limited to minimal levels, in most cases once a week. Stage 2 restrictions also mean a ban on the use of pressure washers and other hosing off of outdoor surfaces, with limited excep-
tions, such as health and safety or preparing a driveway for painting or sealing. Only water play parks with user-activated switches are now allowed to operate. Decorative water fountains will also be shut down, but hand-operated drinking water fountains won’t be affected. Hand watering of flowers, vegetable gardens and trees is still allowed. i see page 8

A South Surrey resident is dead after a serious two-vehicle collision on 32 Avenue Saturday afternoon.

Scotty Schumann Cpl. Scotty Surrey RCMP Schumann said the SUV struck one of the axles of the trailer. Charges will not be laid in connection with the collision, he said. “At first blush, it appears the Jeep came over the centre line,” Schumann said. The driver of the dump truck did not suffer any injuries. RCMP closed 32 Avenue between 168 and 172 streets for several hours while they investigated the crash. Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

White Rock firefighters were called to Duprez Ravine last Wednesday after a barrel of bright blue paint tumbled off of a contractor’s truck and into the sensitive ecosystem. Fortunately, the product – which turned the creek bright blue, alarming visitors – was non-toxic and water soluble, fire Chief Phil Lemire said. “It’s shockingly bright blue,” South Surrey resident Danielle Beck said Thursday of how the water looked when she noticed it the day before.

Lemire described the spill, which was reported around 11 a.m. July 1, as “minor.” He estimated 1-1½ gallons of paint spilled into the creek. Lemire said the contractor was proactive in cleaning up what he could; fire crews walked the length of the creek, using absorbent pads to mop up as much of the remainder as possible. Beck said she was relieved to learn the paint was not toxic, and that the spill was accidental. – Tracy Holmes

Cougar, bear sightings prompt police to urge caution
Warning issued following wildlife reports Sheila Reynolds Black Press
So far this year, there have been multiple reports of bear and cougar sightings in Surrey, including at least one in South Surrey. Because most encounters take place midsummer to mid-fall, Surrey RCMP are warning residents to watch out for the potentially dangerous wildlife and take precautions to reduce the likelihood of run-ins. In the first six months of this year, police say conservation officers have received calls about five bear sightings and 42 cougar sightings in Surrey. In comparison, for all of 2014, there were 21 bear reports and 19 cougar sightings. In 2013, the figures were particularly high, with
254 bear and 76 cougar sightings.

Animal rights touted
Protesters gather at waterfront Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
A handful of animal-rights activists braved the heat Sunday to hold a demonstration at White Rock’s waterfront. The group of about 10 protesters – members of Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) – held signs that read “We Are All Animals” as they chanted and marched along Marine Drive. The demonstration was intended to be bring awareness about the efforts of the “grassroots network,” according to organizer Teri Millis, who said DxE has chapters around the world that are working to eliminate violence and cruelty to animals. “Every month we join with everybody worldwide and hold these demonstrations,” Millis told Peace Arch News prior to the march. “This one today, we’re hoping to share the message that we are all animals.” Other targets of protest by DxE include the use of animals for food, clothing, experimentation and entertainment. Millis noted that Sunday’s demonstration was not to protest any area businesses, rather the location was selected because of the high visibility for protesters.
Woman stabbed A woman was sent to hospital Saturday morning after being stabbed in Surrey. On July 4 at about 5:55 a.m., police responded to a report of a stabbing near 81 Avenue and King George Boulevard. When they arrived, they found a 34-year-old woman with a stab wound. She was taken to hospital in stable condition with non-life threatening injuries. Surrey RCMP say the investigation indicated the stabbing was the result of an altercation with someone the woman knew and was not random. On Monday afternoon, Christine Joanne Pash, 23, was charged with aggravated assault. She appeared in court early this week and is due back in Surrey Provincial Court on July 22.

An air quality advisory issued Sunday afternoon for Metro Vancouver continues this week and has been extended to the Fraser Valley as a result of smoke blowing into the region from wildfires raging across B.C. (see related story, page 20) Metro Vancouver air quality planner Geoff Doerksen said fine particulate concentrations from the smoke have hit levels never seen before across the entire Lower Mainland. “Seeing these heavy smoke levels mix down to the ground is unprecedented for our region,” he said. The air quality objective for fine particulate is 25 micrograms per cubic metre measured as a 24-hour rolling average. Readings four times that level – 100 micrograms or higher – were recorded Monday morning at stations in North Vancouver, Burnaby and Vancouver, where the highest reading of 121.6 was at Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children. Other areas with particulate levels double to triple the objective included Surrey at 81.7, Langley at 67.2, Abbotsford at 66.2 and Chilliwack at 50. Hope was less smoky at 10. “We’ve never seen this before,” Doerksen said. “We’re exceeding our fine particulate objectives at all of our stations in Metro Vancouver as well as our Fraser Valley stations.” Metro saw elevated particulate in 2012 – with readings briefly spiking towards but not above 100 – as a result of smoke from wildfires in Siberia. There was also more localized smoke in 2005 from a fire in Burns Bog. There’s no single fire to blame for the smoke. Significant amounts of smoke are coming into the Lower Mainland from fires burning west of Pemberton. But nearby fires are also burning on Vancouver Island and on the Sunshine Coast near Sechelt. And officials say more distant fires burning elsewhere in the B.C. Interior and beyond have also brought smoke here because of a lack of winds blowing onshore from the ocean. “The winds have been shifting quite a bit in the last couple of days,” Doerksen said. “Some of our computer models show smoke as far as Alberta and the Northwest Territories affecting our area.” He said there are two smoke layers – one ground level and one higher aloft – affecting the Metro area, with
Semiahmoo Bay obscured by smoky haze over the weekend. upper level smoke coming from more distant sources. The hazy conditions are expected to persist until there’s a change in the current weather pattern. But as of Monday, hot, sunny weather is currently forecast to persist through the week. Even worse, lightning is possible Thursday night in the Manning Park area, according to Coastal Fire Centre information officer Ellie Dupont. The smoke blotted out the sun in much of the region and there have been reports of ash falling over a wide area. “People from Port Hardy and Salt Spring Island and many other areas have been calling in
saying there’s ashes all over their decks and their boats,” Dupont said. Provincial officials are considering a ban on the use of ATVs and motorcycles in the backcountry to prevent more fires from being sparked. “A lot of forest companies have shut down their private lands and put up gates,” Dupont added. “We’re hoping with all the smoke more people will think about the fires that are burning and be more careful,” she said. There have been 85 fires so far in the Coastal fire region this year. Fourteen new ones have been sparked since Sunday and three of them were caused by people.

We should know better than to be so careless
H
ere it is, the first full week of July. Summer is barely two weeks old and already we’re in the midst of a heatwave, with seemingly no end in sight. With close to 200 active forest fires currently being fought across B.C., it’s more important than ever to ensure we’re not needlessly feeding the flame by simply being careless. Unfortunately, despite the fact that temperatures have been holding strong in the high 20s or low 30s of late, and despite the lack of rain, resulting in desert-like conditions, that is exactly the case – people are still flicking their cigarette butts. Never mind that carelessly discarded cigarettes are litter. Under the right conditions – exactly the conditions, coincidentally, that British Columbians find themselves in at the moment – they have almost unlimited potential for destruction. Whether they’re flicked out the window of a car, or dropped and given a half-hearted turn of a heel during a walk, cigarette butts are being discarded without, apparently, so much as a second thought to the property, lives or safety of everyone around them. Last weekend, in one 12-hour period, Surrey firefighters dealt with 60 calls – grass fires, bark-mulch fires and fires in boulevards and along roadways – related to dry, hot weather and the careless disposal of smoking materials. It’s a problem, of course, for fire crews who have to gear up and battle searing flames in 30-plus degree weather. But it’s a much bigger issue than that. Even before summer officially arrived, the province had all but tapped out its wildfire fighting budget for the entire year. Dry lightning storms in the Interior continue to ignite parched vegetation, leaving crews scrambling. Mother Nature doesn’t need any help from humans in that department. But she’s getting it anyway. June’s unrelenting dry heat was certainly out of character for the often cooler and sometimes soggy month, but this is hardly the first stretch of hot weather British Columbians have ever seen. We know better.

to cut it. This is a rebuke to California, Quebec and the European Union, where effective carbon trading is, like controlled fusion, just around the corner. Pope Francis warned that our “throwaway culture” views nature “solely as a source of profit and gain” and so people won’t voluntarily do the right thing. (The results of the Metro Vancouver transit plebiscite could be interpreted this way, if you ignore the bumbling, waste and political posturing that really did it in.) The Pope concludes that there is “an urgent need” for a “true world political authority” to impose order on the greedy capitalist humans that infest our beautiful planet. Presumably this would be the run by the UN, so my advice is to start hoarding candles and cat food now. B.C.’s frozen carbon tax has ceased to have much effect, with gasoline consumption back up over 2008 levels amid the usual volatility of prices. Gasoline is going for around $1.30 a litre, despite the prolonged slump in crude oil prices, and people have basically forgotten about this tax on top of all the other gas taxes. Perhaps B.C. can brag in Paris about the Pacific Carbon Trust, which limps along after its near-death experience in 2013. The trust continues to divert tax dollars from B.C. government operations to purported carbon-saving activities, including paying coastal First Nations not to log the portions of forests that they demanded be preserved.

Surrey ‘no’ vote spoke volumes Editor: It was refreshing to see that the taxpayers have spoken with a resounding “no” to a sales-tax increase to fund any TransLink expansion (Voters reject transit tax, July 3). Perhaps the B.C. government will now restructure TransLink as it should have been long ago. TransLink incompetence has been demonstrated time and again, with financial waste, including paying the Vancouver and Surrey mayors to provide absolutely no value (Metro mayors pick Hepner, Jan. 20), and wasting taxpayer funds to build their kingdoms. In Surrey, the huge outcry for the ‘no’ vote was as much a protest against Mayor Linda Hepner and her council as it was for no sales-tax increases. Her inability to deal with such things as crime, bylaw enforcement and non-stop townhouse development is appalling, while the endless expenditures which provide no value to the Surrey populace continue. It will be interesting to witness what new taxes/fees Surrey will come up with to provide additional funding for Hepner’s projects, because reaching into taxpayers’ pockets once again is a certainty. R. Conley, Surrey
While the BIA attempts to raise White Rock’s regional profile (Summer concert series coming to White Rock, June 12), what’s really needed is more exposure and promotion for the existing activities that are already being produced. Thanks to our local media for recognizing the importance of promoting local entertainment. White Rock has a thriving music scene; let’s yell that to the world! Kelly Breaks, Blue Frog Studios
Document the changes Editor: This summer, while you are trying to have a much deserved rest with your family, all over Greater Vancouver trees will fall and heritage buildings will be razed. In September, taking your kids to school, you will wonder, ‘what’s changed here’, until it sinks in that
another irreplaceable neighbourhood treasure has been ‘removed’ while we were gone for a few short weeks. In my City of Surrey, whole neighbourhoods and forests of mature trees may disappear, as Surrey always ‘thinks big’ and doesn’t like to sweat the details. In fact, Surrey council’s latest idea is to fast track development with a ‘Nexusstyle’ free pass to some developers – no oversight needed at all. Is this good government? When citizens question policies that clearly contribute to an increasingly destabilizing rate of growth and price inflation, and that obviously lead to more conflict between old and newcomers, government and citizens, developers and residents – cities say they can do nothing and blame the province, and the province blames the federal government. But nobody does anything to defuse this growing dissatisfaction in our once joyous and flourishing multicultural mecca. It is true that there is more than one driver of this insane building pace than wealthy offshore
investors – virtually interest-free housing loans being of at least equal importance – but is that any excuse for not tackling the hard questions? Does anybody really think this won’t end badly? The glitter of an utterly deregulated economy is getting pretty tarnished as the free-forall degenerates into ugliness and mayhem. We either agree to reasonable limits on how much of our precious Canada we can flog to the highest bidder, or we Canadians – of any origin – and all our kids, must live with the consequences. May I suggest each of us video our immediate neighbourhood as we begin our summer holiday? In September, send a photo of whatever has ‘disappeared’ without genuine consultation, or been built without necessary services and amenities in place, to each of your local city, provincial and federal government representatives with your comments. Then, perhaps, they’ll start to work together on solutions before it’s gone. Alisa Wilson, Surrey
White Rock sets the stage Editor: Re: Memorable performances, July 1 letters. I concur with letter-writer Anne Walls regarding the abundance of entertainment that is already available in our community. Not since Elvis stretched his legs off the train at our waterfront station in 1957 has there been bigger stars in White Rock than in the last few years. Blue Frog Studios has consistently produced concerts with Grammy and Juno award-winning stars for the last five years, including Jefferson Starship, Dan Hill, Bill Henderson, Jim Byrnes, 54-40, Barney Bentall, Shari Ulrich, Maria Muldaur, Cory Weeds and many more; all without subsidy or grants. These shows bring hundreds of patrons into White Rock, who also go out for dinner, stroll around the shops and generally drop dollars into our local economy year-round. There are also great shows at the Coast Capital Playhouse, as well as nightly entertainment at Five Corners Bistro, Bin 101, Hemingways, WAG, West Beach, Sandpiper and more. White Rock is home to some of the most successful concert promoters with Rockit Boy Entertainment and, of course, Peninsula Productions. There is even recognition from the Toronto professional music organizations that White Rock has become the Blues Capital of Canada.

White Rock residents attend a city-hosted forum on waste management ‘to provide input on various options’.
Waste options in short supply An open letter to White Rock council. Eager to hear from the mayor and council members about plans for single-family garbage and recycling services, and hear questions from citizens of White Rock, I attended the community forum on June 30 (Residents brace for impending change, July 3). The invitation reads: “Experience firsthand the city’s current practices and provide input on various options.” I expected the mayor and all members of council to be at the forum, state their position and entertain questions. I arrived at the community centre only to find that the “forum” consisted of tables staffed by city workers who were there to ‘show and tell’, not to address the potential privatization of garbage and recycling services nor to discuss or receive input “on various options”. For example, one table was set up to show how to use the small, green plastic containers sent to single-family households. We and many others have been putting food scraps into compost for such a long time and have created containers and systems to deal with them, so this small container seemed redundant to me. The demonstrator did not know the cost of sending them to 4,000 households. Some council members made an appearance. I asked Coun. Bill Lawrence about the privatization of singlefamily garbage, and he assured me “it was a done deal.” I asked the mayor, and he said no decision will be made until the response to tenders come in. I suggested that putting out tenders indicated a strong desire to privatize. He allowed how going private was a question of cost. I said “cost” is a slippery word and that the introduction of private collection means companies, which have to make a profit, will pay employees less and/or the cost to the public will increase dramatically.
He responded by bashing the union, saying, “They wash their cars during down time.” I took this to be an off-the-cuff pandering to people who like to think that city employees are pampered and lazy. Sadly, White Rock is going backward. Hypocrisy reared its head at the recent sub-committee meeting, where assurances were made that single-family garbage and recycling would not be privatized. We now know that prior in-camera meetings had already set the stage to go ahead with single-family privatization. Also, I suggested to the mayor that having more companies using more trucks would surely mean more pollution and much more noise. He didn’t disagree, but said: “It wouldn’t amount to much.” We are currently paying an increasing environmental price for this it-wouldn’t-amount-to-much sensibility. The reactionary moves by council fly in the face of responsible, citizen-responsive, public needs. New Westminster recently returned to city collection of waste after having tried privatization and finding it a failure. The way to address the more environmentally conscious tipping fees and other requirements of Metro Vancouver is to show progressive leadership, not dump the garbage on the backs of the citizens of White Rock. John Reed, White Rock Editor’s note: White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin, who was cc’d on the above submission, responded, denying he had bashed the union, saying he was referring to crews washing “work vehicles” when they finish early. Coun. Bill Lawrence said his “it was a done deal” comment “referred to the fact that there is a necessity to fundamentally change the way garbage was to be sorted and processed due to… the new regulations on separating out the organics.”

Medical-marijuana advocate speaks to White Rock council
Pot dispensary pilot-project urged Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
A medical-marijuana advocate has urged White Rock to launch a pilot-dispensary project within the city to help create the framework and governance model for the potential business. Randy Caine, owner of Hempyz on Marine Drive, told White Rock council last month that a medicalmarijuna dispensary is “going to arrive in our community,” and that the city would be wise to get ahead of the issue. “A pilot project allows us to develop a framework, or best-

White Rock receives $200K The City of White Rock will receive more than $200,000 in provincial funding for its share of a provincewide revenue-sharing program. White Rock is set to receive $166,833 of funding, plus an additional $95,948 in small community grants, according to a release from the provincial government last week.
The funding is part of $75.2 million being divvied up among B.C. municipalities – including $4,256,405 for Surrey – from the Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing Program, and is meant to help communities fund policing, new equipment, infrastructure and safety initiatives. – Melissa Smalley

as a “wonderful opportunity” for White Rock to approach the issue with full control and involvement from all stakeholders. “I do believe it’s important that medical marijuana is brought into our community,” Caine said. “It’s equally, maybe even more important, in terms of protocols to be
established for any business that would like to come into our community, whether it’s medical marijuana or a grocery store. “We need to have that governance so that it’s fair on both sides.” Council voted unanimously to direct staff to prepare a report on a possible pilot project.

She has watched with great interest over the past few decades as the Trans Canada Trail has grown and large sections were completed from coast to coast. The trail is currently 80 per cent complete, with 18,000 kilometres, of the 23,000 km it will stretch once finished, in operation. A campaign is now in the works
to solicit donations in order to have the trail completed by Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017. In addition to the trail’s route, McLachlan chose to include wildlife on her map in an effort to “stimulate an interest and appreciation of the cohabitation of wildlife and man,” she said. She plans to include a message of environmental responsibility when discussing her project with youngsters in the community, like the group of more than a
dozen who listened intently to her presentation this week. “With so many species of wildlife at risk, it’s absolutely necessary that each of us accept a responsibility to commit to protecting our precious fragile environment,” McLachlan said. Though she admits that at her age, she’s not able to hike much anymore, she said she loves to hear stories of others hitting the trail. One of her grandsons lives near the trail in Halifax, N.S., and McLachlan said he and his children make sure to tell her every time they go for a hike. “What better way to experience nature firsthand than to trek on the trail?” she said. With three new greatgrandchildren recently born, McLachlan is now contemplating carrying on the legacy of purchasing pieces of the trail for the younger generation. She hopes her project will inspire others to explore the Trans Canada Trail, a “landmark” she said she’s proud to be a part of. “I may not own a home, but I own a piece of Canada,” she said.

Hundreds of garden enthusiasts flocked to South Surrey Sunday to catch a glimpse of a collection of hydrangeas touted as the biggest in Canada. The annual open garden, hosted by Barry Roberts and his wife, Goretti, at their 34 Avenue home, featured 130 varieties of award-winning hydrangeas growing throughout the sprawling property, as well as on display in pots for sale. Roberts, who moved to the Peninsula from England upon
retirement 13 years ago, said what began as a hobby cultivating the colourful flower has “grown into an obsession.” A member of the South Surrey Garden Club, Roberts said the West Coast climate is suitable for growing hydrangeas, which provide him with a nice challenge each season. Depending on the species or variety, they also flower for a long time – some starting as early as May and others flowering well into the fall. “I have a garden filled with dark green, morbidly depressing evergreen tree leaves, often
incorrectly referred to as cedars,” Roberts explained, noting the hydrangeas help to brighten up his yard considerably. Roberts is now something of a hydrangea expert; he has spoken at dozens of gardening clubs around the Lower Mainland and beyond and has a home-based business selling the plants in the summer months. Sunday’s event saw more than 200 attendees, Roberts estimated, including members of a garden club from Coquitlam. Canadian Cancer Society volunteers were also on hand, selling refreshments.

Ways to beat the heat As we approach mid-July, action on local golf courses is heating up – and the mercury is rising right along with it. With the golf season in full swing, more and more people are teeing off, as they look to enjoy some sunshine and improve their game. But at this time of year, golfers have more to contend with than just deep rough and fast greens – the heat can also wreak havoc with a golfer’s game. Fortunately, while the temperature may continue to stay above 30 C, there are plenty of ways you can beat the heat out on the golf course. For starters, staying hydrated is key – which is not as simple as it sounds. Sure, drinking plenty of water during your round is
important, but in especially hot conditions, it’s not enough. If you can, you should start hydrating well before you tee off – even a day prior, if possible. And it’s also recommended that you avoid caffeine and alcohol – better to save those beverages for the 19th hole, after your round. As well, wear loose, lightcolored clothing in extreme heat conditions. Many golf attire companies make shirts with moisture-wicking “dry fit” fabrics that will keep you cool. You’ll feel much more comfortable out on the course, and probably play a whole lot better as a result. It’s also a good idea to wear a hat in order to keep the sun off your face. Regular ball caps are the most common, but bucket hats
– with brims that go all the way around – are the most effective. Perhaps the most obvious tip for golfing in the summer – or doing anything outdoors, really – is to wear plenty of sunscreen. You’ll be in the sun for anywhere for three to five hours, so be sure to slather it on early and often. Also, if possible, get an early-morning tee time, and get your round completed before the temperature reaches its high point for the day. If getting up at the crack of dawn isn’t your thing, try to squeeze in a late twilight round in the evening, when the air is at least a little bit cooler. By following these tips, you can still enjoy some great rounds of golf without putting your health at risk.
Let us help you stay in the game and perform at your best!

Salt Wellness Centre owner Angie Dosanjh said the offer for a 45-minute session at the 103-15303 31 Ave. facility is open until July 15, by appointment only. She is challenging other dry-salt therapy centres in the Metro Vancouver area to also offer free sessions for those particularly affected by the poor air quality. Dosanjh said dry salt therapy as a natural, non-invasive treatment for relieving symptoms of conditions such as asthma, COPD and cystic fibrosis, which can be worsened by smog and airborne toxins.

VICTORIA – The B.C. government has spent more than $80 million so far this year battling forest fires, on a pace for one of the worst fire seasons on record. There were 27 new fire starts reported in B.C. on Sunday alone, with 184 active fires being fought across the province and nine evacuation alerts and orders in effect as of Monday affecting 800 homes. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the unusual early dry spell has provincial costs running ahead of 2003, where devastating fires at Barriere near Kamloops and in the Okanagan destroyed or damaged 238 homes and burned 12 wooden trestles in the Myra Canyon
stretch of the historic Kettle Valley Railway. The 2009 fire season is the most expensive on record, with $382 million spent, compared to $375 million in 2003. Those years also saw prolonged drought, but it set in later in the summer. A tree-faller was killed Sunday while working on a fire on the Sunshine Coast, the latest reminder of the danger of firefighting. In 2010, two air tanker pilots were killed, and a helicopter pilot died fighting a fire in 2009. There is no budget limit for forest fire expenditures. While the costs have to be accounted for after the season, de Jong said he is more concerned with the carelessness of people despite the financial and human costs.

“I was driving down the highway yesterday and I saw someone throw a cigarette out of their car,” de Jong said. “Give your head a shake. I don’t know what is wrong with people who wantonly put other people’s lives and property at risk.” B.C. has often lent its experienced fire crews to other jurisdictions, but in 2009 more than 1,800 people were brought in from most other provinces, the U.S. and even Australia and New Zealand. That may be more difficult this season, with severe conditions across Western Canada. In Saskatchewan, where 12,000 people have fled their homes, Premier Brad Wall announced Monday that up to 1,000 Canadian Forces troops may be called in to help.

third or fourth metatarsals. Walking or running will be painful, whereas generally there will not be pain during rest periods. There may or may not be redness and swelling. Stress fractures are always painful. Dr. Howard Green Causes: They are usually considered an Podiatrist overuse injury. This can be the result of overtraining, switching running surfaces (soft to hard), or wearing shoes that provide inadequate support. Treatment: If you suspect a stress fracture see your family doctor or a sports-oriented podiatrist. Do not run at all for six weeks. Often crutches, and sometimes casting is needed. The good news is that stress fractures usually heal without complications. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are the key. Prevention: If you notice a dull ache or sharp pain in your foot, cut back the intensity of your activity. If you do have a stress fracture you will most likely have to alter your training or foot biomechanics in order to prevent a recurrence. Activity Restrictions: You should not run with a stress fracture.

apartment sold? Fraser Valley Real Estate Board is reporting the highest volume of sales A: The in 10 years. But those figures refer to detached houses, townhouses and condominium apartments combined. Detached homes are the real driver in Laura Thibeault the increase in sales. The inventory of Realtor detached homes is shrinking; product scarcity always leads to higher demand and prices. Apartments, however, have increased in supply as older buildings are demolished and acreages cleared to build new apartment complexes. Today’s buyers have high expectations, particularly “Down-sizers” (people moving out of larger properties into smaller ones). They want storage, efficient open plans, up-to-date bathrooms, kitchens and appliances and often more than one parking stall. They’re concerned about strata management, good maintenance records and depreciation reports. Restrictions on ages, pets and rentals also affect their decision. Have you cleared out all your extra stuff? Is it super clean and easy to show? Let your realtor guide you in making your apartment as attractive to buyers as possible. Relying on hearing we’re in a “hot” market isn’t necessarily enough.

YOUR VISION EXPERT
Q: What do I need to know about Glaucoma? Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that starts with loss of peripheral vision, and can lead to blindness if untreated. Glaucoma occurs when there is Dr. Liseann Head an increase in pressure within & Dr. Michelle Elliott the eye. The pressure results from an imbalance of fluid production that puts pressure on the optic nerve at the back of the eye. Anyone can get glaucoma, but it is more common in those over 40. Early glaucoma has no symptoms and once vision is lost it cannot be restored. Glaucoma is treated with daily eye drops and/or laser surgery to reduce the eye pressure and maintain your vision. Regular eye examinations are the only way to detect glaucoma.
do I protect myself from Q: How psychic fraud? ask someone you know A: 1 - Always & trust for a good psychic referral. There are many charlatans out there. 2 - Pay good money for good advice. Don’t sell yourself to the lowest bidder. Most often it’s the fakes that Lady Chanel try to catch your attention with low Psychic prices. 3 - Never reply to psychic mail, email or phone that spins a story scaring you to make contact. Some psychics purchase lists… 4 - Don’t let them sell you a dollar store candle for $100 (or other stuff). Ditto “for your protection” scams, curses, spell and their removal. These “things” have absolutely no powers to protect you. Manufacturers would be the first ones to sell these things, if they really worked. 5 - Oops...out of space. See more on the website. Not one single human being has any secret powers to harm you, unless you choose to believe so.

I bring my phone Q: Should on my European trip? A:
If you are simply concerned about staying connected to home, you can always use public computers in internet cafes throughout Europe. However a phone can be very handy in your travels. View maps, check schedules, buy tickets, read sightseeing information, use language translators, and even find your friends if you become separated. Wendy Fougner You can take your own phone, and sign up for an Owner international service plan, with your carrier. But ensure that your phone works in Europe. Be sure to activate the plan a day or two before you depart, to avoid surprises. You can also buy European SIM cards over there. But check with your carrier to make sure your phone is compatible. Some are not. You can also buy a phone in Europe, starting at $40. Some come with SIM cards. Both may be purchased in department stores, “mobile” or “Handy” kiosks, and some newsstands. If you have a Smart phone, look for a card that includes Data. Ask the clerk about phone rates, and have him insert the card and set it up, including changing the voice prompts to English if possible. Make a test call before leaving the store. Lastly, travel with an open-mind. Cell coverage may be spotty in places and Internet cafes may not be instantly available. Use your phone to enhance your travels, but don’t let it take over your holiday.

YOUR AESTHETIC PHYSICIAN EXPERT can be done for the deep Q: What lines that cause an old, tired, sad and often angry appearance? A:
As we age our facial bones recede, our supportive tissues deflate causing descent. This may result in deep lines creating a look of tiredness, sadness and even an angry expression. A comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation will include diet and exercise, Dr. Martin Ray skin care, laser, Botox and dermal fillers. Medical Director Historically the deep lines between the Practice Owner nose and cheeks and the deep lines below the corners of the mouth were treated by dermal filler injections into the lines. My approach is to use dermal filler (Juvederm) to re-volumize areas of the face to their natural proportion. These proportions are based on the golden rule of Phi used by DiVinci and Michelangelo, the great sculptors and artists of the Renaissance. By restoring the natural proportion of the face, facial lines are softened and the result is a restoration of your natural beauty. Dermal filler can now be placed safely and comfortably using a cannula technique. This greatly reduces the risk of bleeds, bruising, swelling and pain previously experienced by needles. Our patients express they feel comfortable and confident to carry on with their daily activities.
are important factors Q: What when selecting a Business Centre?
A:
Location: Your Business Centre ideally should be close to financial institutions and business services, and be easily accessible by car or transit. Meeting Rooms: The Business Centre you chose needs to provide various sized rooms perfect for Katherine De Vita meetings, training or conferences. Owner, OPBC Extension of Services Provided: As your company grows, you may need further services by the Business Centre. Ensure they are equipped to assist you as you develop your company. Interior Décor and Ambiance: Are you proud to bring your clients to your personal office and Business Centre? Ensure your workspace is comfortable, practical and professional. Your office and environment speak volumes about you. Make sure it is sending out the right message.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
The 39 Steps “What are the 39 Steps?” That’s the famous pivotal question in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1935 spy thriller. But there’s an equally important question posed by Peninsula Productions’ live theatre version of the show, which moves into Coast Capital Playhouse (1532 Johnston Rd.) this Wednesday (July 8) for a brief summer run until July 25, while the White Rock Players Club is on hiatus. How can just four actors play all 150 roles in the movie? Answering the question are versatile players Corey Haas, Laura Caswell, Ben Odberg (The Game’s Afoot, Blithe Spirit) and Ashley O’Connell (the Arts Club’s Spamalot) – and director and well-known Vancouver manof-the-theatre Matthew Bissett – who have joined forces for this perverse exercise in comedic minimalism. Alex Browne Inspired by a heroic British regional stage production, Patrick Barlow turned The 39 Steps into a London hit 10 years ago, and since then it’s become a hot property around the world. Using the movie as a starting point, The 39 Steps uses bare-bones props and sets, costumes by Mahara Sinclaire, and the creativity of the actors themselves to cover the script scene by scene – with inevitable hilarity. The very British plot – itself a loose adaptation of John Buchan’s classic novel – finds suave adventurer Richard Hannay (Haas) framed for murder and forced to flee to the Scottish Highlands to track down the real culprits, a sinister spy organization spiriting aviation secrets from Britain. Tickets ($25; seniors/children $20) are available from www. peninsulaproductions.org or 604536-7535.

Laura Caswell and Corey Haas, as Pamela and Hannay, find themselves in a ticklish situation in Peninsula Productions’ version of Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps, opening Wednesday (July 8) at Coast Capital Playhouse.
broken-hearted country song that will make you want to cry,” the seven-time BC Country Music Award-winning writer-performer is sure to entertain with tall tales of hard-drinking, fast-driving, larger-than-life characters. Opening for Bent are two sweethearts of the local country scene, close-harmony duo Fionn (formerly known as Alanna and Brianne). The 17-year-old twins have been gaining fame both locally and internationally, following their 2013 Diamond in the Rock contest triumph – their first EP, produced by famed songwriter Steve Dorffand, was recorded in Los Angeles and Nashville last year. The venue is located at 1328 Johnston Rd. and the music begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at www. bluefrogstudios.ca or by calling 604-542-3055.
Pier concerts Things are hopping at the White Rock waterfront on Saturday nights this summer. In addition to promenade strolling and a lively restaurant patio trade, a live-music series down by the pier is bringing topflight alternative-pop acts to the area at a price that can’t be beaten – free of charge.
The City of White Rock and the White Rock BIA – with assistance from the Peak Performance Project, and major sponsorship from TD Canada Trust – presents the TD Concerts At The Pier series until Aug. 8. This week’s headliner for the 7-10 p.m. concert will be the Fast Romantics (July 11), with opening acts Tea Petrovic and Sarah Wheeler. Coming up are The Boom Booms (July 18, with Colleen Rennison and Bend Sinister); Gary Comeau and the Voodoo All Stars (July 25, with Ben Rogers and Lester Quitzau); and The Matinee (Aug. 8, with Tonye Aganaba and Blue Moon Marquee).
10 Variations A group of 10 members of the South Surrey and White Rock Art Society will hold an exhibition and sale – 10 Variations – on July 11 and 12 at the South Surrey Recreation and Arts Centre, 14601 20 Ave. The exhibition, open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, will feature more than 200 original works.
The Cooler Kings Act fast to get tickets for The Cooler Kings’ latest White Rock
show, set to turn the intimate venue of the Blue Frog Studios (1328 Johnston Rd.) into a summer dance party of R & B, Funk, Blues and Rock this Saturday (July 11). The groove masters will play to a standing-and-dancing-only room, with high-top tables and a very limited number of seats on a firstcome, first-served basis. Chances are everyone will be on their feet for the music of this eight-piece show band, which brings together multiple-threat talents Willy Ward (formerly with the R&B All-Stars and The Powder Blues), vocals and trumpet, Renee Dora Cook, vocals and violin, and Elliott Clarkson’s sax in the front line. Keyboardists Bill Brooks and Jim Widdifield round out the sound, augmented by the silky guitar sound of Leonard Bodin, and the driving beat of Paul Sorbara on drums and Paulo Silva on bass.

Bev Boys honoured for ‘contributions to the sport of diving’
Diving coach named to Order of Canada Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Bev Boys Order of Canada
Bev Boys has another prestigious award to add to the mantle at her Crescent Beach home. Last week, the South Surrey diving coach – founder of the White Rock Gymnastics and Diving Club – was appointed to the Order of Canada for “her contributions to the sport of diving as an athlete, coach, official and judge.” When contacted by the Peace Arch News, Boys, true to form, was
more excited about the recent accomplishments of four of her young divers – who are soon headed to Canadian age-group nationals – than she was about her recent award, though she did say via email that she was “excited” about the honour, which is the latest in a long line of accolades for the three-time Olympian. In addition to her Olympic appearances – she competed at three consecutive Games beginning in 1968, and has been a judge at four more
– Boys is a seven-time medallist at Commonwealth Games, and also has three Pan-American Games medals, including two silvers. A Toronto native, she was inducted into the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame in 2005, and is also a member of the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame. Two years ago, Boys was also named the official of the year by Sports Officials Canada. Boys is among 100 people appointed to the Order of Canada – one of the
country’s highest civilian honours – this year. The award was created to recognize “outstanding achievement, dedication to the community and service to the nation.” Also being inducted this year are author Lawrence Hill, Douglas Fregin – who co-founded the company that created the BlackBerry – Delta’s Madeleine Dion Stout, curling champion Russ Howard and Fran Rider, a pioneer in women’s hockey. As well, Surrey resident Arthur Kube was honoured.

The event – which hit local diamonds Friday – opened with the Showcase (U16) and Futures (U19) Selects tournaments, both of which wrapped up Monday night. In the Futures event, the Langley Rebels took the top spot, defeating the California Lightning 9-2 in the final, while the South Delta Invaders claimed first place in the Showcase Select tournament, shut-

In the Showcase division, the South Surrey-White Rock Thunder ’99s earned a first-round bye after rolling through the four-game round-robin with a perfect record in Pool B – outscoring their competition 31-4 along the way. In the second round of playoffs, they were edged by the Langley Xtreme 6-5. Meanwhile, the Cloverdale Fury i see page 26

A Last Will and Testament is the cornerstone of most estate plans. The estate planning process is, however, a much broader undertaking than the simple writing of a Will. Whether you have an existing Will or are making one for the Àrst time, it is important to meet with an experienced estate planning lawyer to ensure that your Will operates effectively as part of your overall estate plan and will result in a smooth transfer of wealth on death. One of the fundamental aspects of estate planning is recognizing the tax consequences of death as well as the tax consequences of lifetime gifts and transfers. An estate planner can identify what taxes may be payable as a result of your death, assess the impact of such taxes on your estate and your beneÀciaries and advise on the appropriate steps to minimize, defer, eliminate or provide for the payment of such taxes. Estate planning also includes considering the necessity of insurance, the designation of beneÀciaries on insurance policies and RRSPs, the structuring of the joint ownership of assets, and the preparation of a valid and legally enforceable Will prepared in accordance with B.C. law. Another key consideration is recognizing who can challenge your plan on death. In B.C., our wills variation laws permit spouses and children (including Ànancially independent adult children) of a deceased to bring a claim to vary the deceased’s Will if they feel they have not been adequately provided for. An experienced estate planning lawyer can assess the strength of your plan in light of BC legislation and caselaw and, if appropriate, advise on other strategies that may be available to avoid frustration of your plan and ensure that your wishes are effectively carried out. If you would like to review your existing estate plan or inquire about making a Will, please contact Kim Karras or Kirsten Wharton at BRAWN KARRAS & SANDERSON 604-542-5344 or by email at kakarras@bkslaw.com or kwharton@bkslaw.com.

The Surrey Eagles are set to host their annual Eagles Hockey School next month at South Surrey Arena. The camp – open to all Initiation-level hockey players who are planning to play this coming season – is a week-long affair that will run from Aug. 10-14. The camp will include “informative on-ice sessions” led by Eagles’ head coach Blaine Neufeld and assistant coaches Gary Nylund and Brad Tobin. Along with on-ice instruction, players will receive an Eagles hockey jersey, a poster for all the Eagles’ players to sign, and a tour of the team’s dressing room and a chance to meet current Eagles’ players. Neufeld said it’s important for his team to connect with the area’s youngest players. “Last year we made great strides in connecting with our minor hockey associations and the community. We visited a lot of initiation and pond-hockey sessions and got a great response from the kids and the families,” he said. “I was very proud of our players being such great role models for those kids.” For more information or to sign up, visit www. surreyeagles.ca or call 604-531-4625.

ANDERSON, Helen (nee Larkin) Feb. 11, 1927 - June 26, 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother and grandmother. Helen passed away peacefully on June 26, 2015 at the age of 88. Helen was predeceased by her husband Sigfred (Andy) and her sister Millie Smith. She is survived by her daughters Susan (Rob) and Kathy and her granddaughters Sara, Alison and Emma. Helen was a strong, independent person, with a warm and caring heart and a gentle soul. She enjoyed life’s simple pleasures - a good meal, a day at the beach, a cold beer, the casino, reading the paper, but most of all her family and friends. She was always there to listen and lend a hand, and loved spending time with her grandchildren. Special thanks to the staff at Peach Arch Hospital for their care and compassion. A Celebration of Life will be held at 2pm Sunday July 12th at Alternatives Funeral Home, 3070 275A Street, Aldergrove. A reception will follow - details at service.

He is lovingly remembered by his mother Olga, his daughter, Nicole (James) and his son, Ryan; 3 grandchildren, Logan, Skylar and Bryn; and loved ones, relatives, friends and colleagues from around the world. Roger was an incredible man with a large heart, a caring and generous nature, and a love for life.

He was creative, innovative, and was artful at bringing people together. Roger’s talent was in anticipating emerging trends and developing strong relationships with clients and colleagues that he called friends. His sense of humour, infectious laugh, and warm smile will be greatly missed.

Holly Lorraine Hrynchuk September 4, 1966 June 24, 2015 It is with great sadness that the family of Holly Lorraine Hrynchuk announce her passing on Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Holly passed away too young at the age of 48, after a short courageous battle with cancer. She was predeceased by her mother and closest friend Jessie Lorraine English in 2013. She was much loved and will be sadly missed by her father Paul Hrynchuk Sr. (Gail) her brother Paul (Colleen) nephew Jonah, niece Hannah, step siblings Jason (Tracy) Niki (Wayne) and their children Aislynn, Noah and Isabella, all of Manitoba, as well as relatives in Manitoba, Alberta, U.S. and Europe. Holly was born and grew up in Oak Bank, Manitoba. Family times at Grand Beach are among her fondest memories. For the last 25 years she lived in White Rock, B.C., and was loved dearly by her many close friends, Zellers co-workers, friends of Bill W. and especially her angels, Liat and Donna who cared for her so tenderly to the end. We will all miss Holly’s big heart, quick wit, practical and humble nature. Her spirit and shared memories will live in us all. Now she is free of pain swimming joyfully with her beloved dolphins. Her “Higher Power” will hold her tenderly. Cremation has taken place, and a Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday July 12, from 3-5pm, at the White Rock Community Centre, 15154 Russell Ave. White Rock B.C. and a private family service will take place in Manitoba. According to Holly’s wishes in lieu of flowers, donations to the White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society, 15510 Russell Ave. White Rock, B.C. V4B 2R3, or Avalon Women’s Centre would be greatly appreciated. Deep appreciation to all the medical staff, who cared for our dear Holly daily.

LEARMAN, Emily
July 11th & 12th
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother Emily Marie Learman. Born September 11th 1934 in the rural town of Erickson, Manitoba. Passed away peacefully June 23rd, 2015 at the Irene Thomas Hospice in Ladner, B.C. Emily was a beautiful daughter to parents Ida & Arvid Ullberg, a loving wife to Sydney, who passed away Dec 25th, 2013, and a loving mother to sons Robert, wife Kimberley, and Ross, wife Joan. She was the beloved grandmother to Ross’ daughter Caitlyn and to Joan’s boys Tyler & Dylan Houlihan. Emily was an adventurous young lady and moved to Kitimat at a young age where she met & wed Sydney Nov 6th, 1959. They moved to Sorel Quebec where Robert was born, then onto Montreal where Ross was born. In 1972 Emily and family made the big move to the west coast of BC and a beautiful town of Tsawwassen where they lived happily until early 2013 when they moved to White Rock. Over the years Emily had many hobbies and interest from needle point art, painting, golfing, lawn bowling, exercise, gardening, and of course cards, especially Bridge! She formed many lasting friendships from her hobbies and interests in both Tsawwassen & White Rock. She wanted to make a special thanks to all of her family, friends, and the bridge groups for their love and support, for the beautiful flowers, cards, phone calls, and kind wishes. Also to my supportive family who have been my heart and soul, Love you guys forever. Emily would also like to thank her wonderful caregivers from in home care and at the beautiful hospice in Ladner. She will be dearly missed by all. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Irene Thomas Hospice or Canadian Cancer Society in her name. Celebration of life will be held on July 11th from 1 pm to 3 pm at the White Rock Community Centre 15154 Russell Ave Hall C.
