Answers sought after officer also shot in confrontation with ‘suicidal’ man outside police station
Man killed in struggle with officers Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Hudson Brooks shooting victim
One man is dead and a police officer wounded following gunfire outside the South Surrey District 5 RCMP office early Saturday. According to police, officers responded to reports of a “suicidal” man screaming outside of the office – which is located in the 1800-block of 152 Street and shares the building with Semiahmoo Library – at approximately 2:30 a.m. July 18.
“A physical struggle ensued and the male was shot by an officer,” a news release states. “The individual has died. One of the police officers involved was injured as a result of the confrontation and was transported to hospital for treatment. “The police officer suffered a non-lifethreatening gunshot wound, the circumstances of which are under investigation.” The news release did not indicate the victim’s identity, whether he was armed or who fired the shot that struck the offi-
cer. It was later revealed that only policeissued firearms were found at the scene. At a makeshift memorial site the next day, the deceased was identified to Peace Arch News as 20-year-old South Surrey resident Hudson Brooks. Surrey RCMP deferred comment to the Independent Investigations Office, which investigates officer-related incidents of death or serious harm and has taken over the case. i see page 4

City delays church decision after legal advice Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Following some tension – and last-minute legal advice – White Rock council has given the man behind a makeshift church structure on Marine Drive extra time to prepare for a “reconsideration” hearing regarding the site’s declaration as a “nuisance.”
The extension, granted Monday morning during a special council meeting called specifically to deal with the matter, gives Robin Douglas until 9 a.m. July 27 to organize evidence and seek legal advice of his own. Douglas – pastor of the cannabis-based Church of the Holy Smoke, which has been operating out of a tent structure in the

14700-block of Marine Drive for about four months – was advised last week that he had until July 24 to remove the structure and garbage from the property. The deadline followed a unanimous vote by council on July 13 to adopt a resolution brought forward by director of development services Karen Cooper, declaring the site
a “nuisance.” The resolution notes the site is an “eyesore” and “out of character with the neighbourhood.” As well, it states, the structure does not comply with city bylaws or provincial building regulations, and has been the subject of complaints about smoke, garbage and noise from neighbours. i see page 2 Kintec White Rock

i from page 1 The resolution also followed three rounds of escalating fines – $150, $500 and $1,000 – issued by bylaw officers. Granting Douglas an extension Monday – in asking for one, he noted he had not had time to gather evidence or seek legal counsel, having only learned of the hearing on Friday – was not council’s first inclination, even after city clerk Tracey Arthur made a point of reiterating Douglas’ reasons for the request. After council voted unanimously to deny the request, Douglas declared he was going to leave, that his Constitutional rights had been violated and that he would be asking the province to intervene in the matter. At that point, Arthur suggested

council take a recess to consult with the city’s legal counsel. They returned about 40 minutes later and advised Douglas he had the extra time he’d asked for. In granting the extension, Mayor Wayne Baldwin noted council would only be hearing arguments “with respect to health and welfare issues.” Douglas had stated earlier that the property has since been cleared of garbage, and that evidence he needed time to gather included legal arguments for and against religious organizations and religious freedoms. “This has not anything to do with religious freedoms,” Baldwin responded. Arthur told Peace Arch News Tuesday that the July 24 deadline would be rescheduled after the hearing.

Drugs suspected
Scents traced Reports of strange odours coming from a South Surrey house led police to identify a suspected drug lab Monday. Cpl. Scotty Schumann said RCMP were called to a home in the 15600-block of Mountainview Drive by the Surrey Fire Service around 12:45 p.m. July 20. “When police arrived, they also smelled the strange odours and believed that they saw evidence that would suggest a drug lab was in the house,” Schumann said Tuesday. “The members are on-scene now,” and were expected to remain there through today (Wednesday). Schumann did not know if anyone was in the house at the time police arrived, but did say no arrests have been made in connection with the discovery. The case is being investigated by Surrey RCMP’s drug unit, in consultation with the Mounties’ Clandestine Laboratory Enforcement and Response Team. Schumann described the risk to the public as “minimal.” “The scene is contained. We’re not going to put anyone in jeopardy.” – Tracy Holmes

Stage 3 restrictions also affect parks, pools and golf courses
Lawn sprinkling banned for first time in years Jeff Nagel Black Press
Metro Vancouver declared stage 3 water restrictions Monday, banning all home lawn sprinkling for the first time in more than a decade. The decision Monday came after the drinking-water supply in Metro’s reservoirs declined again to 69 per cent of capacity – a level never seen this early in the summer. (Epcor, which serves White Rock and a small part of South Surrey, was still on stage 1 as of Peace Arch News press time Tuesday.) Metro’s water supply has dropped 10 per cent since late June and regional district officials say it is critical to conserve more to get through this record dry summer. “Unless we change the amount we’re consuming, that’s a trajectory we just can’t go down,” Metro board chair Greg Moore said.
Metro’s previous move to stage 2 restrictions had cut allowed lawn sprinkling from three times a week to just one day. Stage 2 cut daily water consumption from 1.6 billion litres per day to about 1.35 billion. But Moore said the region needs to cut it further, to less than 1.2 billion litres a day. That’s more than the 900 million to 1 billion litres used on average in the winter but Moore admits it’s a challenging target in hot, dry summer months. Stage 3 also bans all refilling of hot tubs, pools and garden ponds, among other tighter restrictions on outdoor water use. Local cities have already issued thousands of warnings to water-sprinkling violators and ticketed repeat offenders. Officials hope the blanket ban on sprinkling will make it easier to root out offenders and put them under pressure from neighbours.

“If we have no rain going forward it’s going to be pretty easy to figure out pretty darn quickly who is watering their lawn and who isn’t,” Moore said. Social-media vigilantes have taken to shaming drought violators online. Moore said he hopes people are “neighbourly” and pull together to conserve. “We’re all in this together as citizens of this region,” Moore said. “I hope people just step up themselves and realize it’s important to all of us to conserve our water in an extraordinarily dry time.” The sprinkling ban covers not just residential and commercial lawns but all parks, cemeteries and boulevards. There are no longer exemptions for watering of newly seeded lawns or for ones treated with nematodes to fight chafer-beetle infestations. Sports fields and school yards can still be
watered at minimal levels. Golf courses can still water greens and tee areas, but stage 3 means fairways can no longer be watered. Residents can still water shrubs and gardens using hand-held hoses, but only if they have a spring-loaded shutoff nozzle. Watering cans and drip irrigation systems are still allowed. Hosing off vehicles and all forms of pressure washing are also banned. Stage 3 restrictions are expected to remain in place until Sept. 30. Metro officials still have one more weapon left in their arsenal, if necessary. Stage 4 restrictions would prohibit all forms of watering with treated drinking water, shut down indoor carwashes, and eliminate some other exemptions. Metro has only once before gone to regionwide stage 3 restrictions – during severe drought conditions in 2003.

Victim’s friends demand answers i from page 1 Kellie Kirkpatrick, executive director of public accountability for the IIO, said by email just before noon Monday that circumstances – including how many officers were involved and how many shots were fired – were under investigation. An update posted online Monday evening suggests Brooks may have been unarmed. “The IIO can confirm that other than police-issued equipment, nothing of significance was recovered from the scene,” the news release states, noting the incident is the sixth officerinvolved shooting under investigation by the IIO since April 1. Social-media posts and tributes at the South Surrey Skate Park indicate the circumstances surrounding Brooks’ death have left many wanting answers. “…the cop had no right to pull that trigger,” one friend of Brooks writes on Facebook, describing him as “such a good guy.” Another commenter questioned why three officers weren’t able to subdue Brooks without lethal force. “Can’t they use Tasers on unarmed people… They did not need to shoot him. He was in

The victim’s mother could not be reached. Witnesses told CTV News they heard a young man screaming for help just before the gunfire. Late that afternoon, 152 Street between 18 and 19 avenues remained closed to traffic, and police could be seen in the covered parking area of the District 5 office. At least 10 yellow evidence markers could also be seen.
At the South Surrey skate park Monday morning, expletives and angry messages directed at police – including “kid killer” – were scattered across the bowl and other park features. Kirkpatrick said she could not estimate how long the investigative process would take, noting the IIO office has “no control” over the time it takes to receive third-party expert reports. Anyone with information or who witnessed the incident is asked to contact the IIO’s tollfree witness line at 1-855-4468477.

Surrey man charged in Saskatoon
Arrest for ’85 homicide Boxing Day Sheila Reynolds Black Press
A 65-year-old Surrey man has been charged in connection with the murder of a woman in Saskatchewan 30 years ago. It was Dec. 14, 1985 when two masked men entered the home of Frances Wendland in the small town of Rosthern, east of Saskatoon. RCMP say three children were in the home at the time and were locked in a bathroom. Two of the girls were Wend-
land’s daughters and one was a friend having a sleepover. When they escaped, they discovered Wendland, 43, dead. Another man, Donald Marlow, was arrested in 1990 and a jury convicted him of first-degree murder for being an accessory to the homicide. During that trial, the court heard that Wendland’s estranged husband had hired two men to kill her. The ex-husband, Larry Wendland, committed suicide in 1989.
The case was re-opened in 2011, leading to the arrest this month of Dennis Henry Hahn. Hahn is charged with firstdegree murder and unlawful confinement. Police say Hahn, who was 36 at the time of the alleged offences, was arrested July 10 “without incident” outside a business in Surrey and appeared in Saskatoon Provincial Court last week. His next appearance is scheduled for July 27. – with files from CBC
Animal-cruelty complaint investigated White Rock RCMP are investigating an alleged incident of animal cruelty at White Rock Beach. The investigation was prompted by a complaint from a resident who said she witnessed a family luring seagulls onto the railway tracks on the evening of Sunday, July 12, where they were hit by an oncoming train. A post on social media detailing the incident, as well as photos of dead seagulls on the tracks, was also circulated, with details noting two birds were killed and two others suffered broken legs. “What a terrible thing to do in the first place and what a horrible thing to teach your kids!” Tracey Alvarez wrote on Facebook. RCMP said this week the investigation is ongoing, and officers are still in the process of seeking out witnesses to the incident. “Definitely, we would welcome any tips of value

We need to be informed
I
t was a ‘worst-case’ scenario, right from the beginning. An officer-involved shooting confrontation outside the detachment offices at 152 Street and 18 Avenue in South Surrey left a young man dead and an RCMP officer wounded. That much we know from the scant information released by the RCMP following the early Saturday morning incident. We were told that a “suicidal” man was screaming outside of the offices, that a physical struggle ensued and that the man was shot. We were told that an officer had also received a nonlife-threatening gunshot wound in the incident. But it took until Monday to receive confirmation from the RCMP’s Independent Investigations Office – which has taken over investigation of the incident – that only “police-issued equipment” was found at the scene. An online update posted that evening seems to suggest the young man – who we have since learned was Hudson Brooks, 20 – was unarmed. No further comment on the circumstances, including how many officers were on the scene and how many shots were fired, has been forthcoming. We all have reason to mourn the loss of a young life in what appears to be a senseless tragedy. Under any circumstances, a natural response to such loss – particularly for those who knew the deceased – is feelings of anger. But this is where a worst-case scenario gets even worse. Because the silence of investigators in such cases is almost guaranteed to fuel such anger. Hearing nothing else, residents will be quick to jump to conclusions and listen to rapidly spreading rumour. Some of the anger, justly or unjustly, will end up being directed at the police – as we can see from comments already posted to the article on the Peace Arch News website. We all understand police caution about making premature statements regarding ongoing investigations. Ill-advised comment cannot only be wrong, it can compromise investigations and can be the basis of lawsuits and legal appeals. Yet it appears, from observing similar incidents in other jurisdictions, that the public are far more likely to receive cogent news releases elsewhere than in our own backyard. When the IIO notes that the incident is the sixth officer-involved shooting under investigation since April 1, it seems clear that they understand the public has concerns about the proliferation of such incidents. But there is a big difference between understanding and acting to ease them through quick and effective public relations.

yes 65% no 35% 86 responding licence.” As for the brazenly false claim that Nestlé is sucking B.C. dry, I’m indebted to a real environmental professional named Blair King for explaining this. (His blog, achemistinlangley.blogspot. ca, offers useful technical explanations of issues in the news, many of which contradict so-called environmentalists.) King notes that the bottling plant uses less than one per cent of the flow through Kawkawa Lake: “If Nestlé stopped operating (and put its 75 employees out of work and stopped paying municipal taxes) would there be more water for the rest of us?” he writes. “Absolutely not. Kawkawa Lake drains its excess water into the Fraser River, which drains into the Strait of Georgia. Neither the Fraser River at Hope nor the Strait of Georgia is particularly short of water, even in the driest of years.” Clark made one useful contribution, when asked about this urgent non-issue by those seeking to further sensationalize the current drought and forest fires. She correctly noted that most B.C. residents have access to the best tap water in the world, and have no need for bottled water. Nestlé, Perrier, Coke, Pepsi and other companies have done a fantastic job of convincing people that their drinking water has to be delivered in bottles from some mythical pure source. Here’s a tip, Nestlé critics: Fill a jug with water and stick it in the fridge. Fight the corporations. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

The price of kindness Editor: At about 8:45 a.m. Saturday, I stopped by the Semiahmoo branch of Bank of Montreal to withdraw funds for the list of errands I had to accomplish that day. As I exited, a youngish man was pacing the sidewalk just outside the door. He appeared worried. “Ma’am,” he said politely, “I am almost out of gas – I have to get back out to Chilliwack to my two children and I’ve left my wallet at home. Could you loan me a 20?” He handed me a business card and said, “I will repay you – just call this number.” It’s interesting how time accelerates or slows down on its own accord – the interaction could only have been a minute or two, but in my mind a couple scenarios had opportunity to play out. I had a vision of his children waiting at home – and another of his dealer waiting at the corner. Was he the real deal or a scammer? I looked at the business card – real enough. I asked which vehicle was his – he pointed to an older minivan with a ladder strapped to the roof. I looked him in the eye. As I took a $20-bill out of my purse I said, “I hope you’re telling me the truth – if you’re not, I’m going to feel really stupid.” He Godblessed me and left. As I drove to my appointment, I I wondered if I should have offered to stop and prepay $20 for his gas. I berated myself. I wondered what he was doing in White Rock at 8:45 a.m. without enough gas to get back to his children. I kicked myself. Twenties are hard-earned for everyone. As my stylist cut my hair I relayed the story and she said not to feel foolish – her husband had fallen victim to the same scam. Then I thought about the man’s desperation – he needed something and he required a 20 to get it. Gas or whatever, he targeted a stranger. If I’ve been scammed, I want to warn other sympathetic marks. If he, in fact, needed gas to get home to his children in Chilliwack, then I God-bless him right back. I don’t intend to call the number on the business card and will chalk this up to a $20 lesson. Unfortunately, if this was a ruse, what these scammers actually do is extinguish the generosity of strangers. Elva Stoelers, Surrey
Critters are thirsty, too Editor: Please remember to clean and add fresh water daily to birdbaths. During this hot spell, an extra change of water will help to cool the birds as they drink and bathe, along with all the other visitors to your special watering hole – bees, butterflies, dragonflies... all
flying critters that protect our environment need a cool drink. Hummingbird feeders should be changed every two days. The birds will not drink from a dirty container. If you have wildlife trails passing through your yard or live on the forest’s edge, think about putting out a bucket of water for the deer and other critters that share our space. Dee Walmsley, Surrey
Extinguish the risk, properly Editor: I have long enjoyed walking and riding our beautiful streets, parks and forest paths. We are lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world. And, people being people, there has always been some litter that needed cleaning up. However, over the past few years there has been a noticeable increase in the number of discarded cigarette butts accumulating along the roads and sidewalks of our neighbourhoods. Strangely, a good portion of these butts are discarded onto lawns or other grassy areas. It seems quite a few of our habitual litterers are not walking on the sidewalk, but instead choosing
along the edge of the walkway as well as in the dry glass and twigs. It is so easy to start a fire with each cigarette butt being tossed. Only a wooden fence separates the housing units from the park. It is very dangerous to smoke in that area. Where is their common sense? It is so hard to believe smokers are so ignorant and careless. Ruth Kile, Surrey Contributed photo
Recent fire damage in Ocean Park. to walk along the other side of the street, where they drop their butts, some of which are not extinguished, onto their neighbour’s grass. This practice is not only unattractive and against local bylaws, but in our current heat wave, it is incredibly dangerous. Our trees, shrubs, and lawns are tinder-dry these days. It is just a matter of time before a discarded butt starts a grass fire or worse. If you smoke, please safely extinguish and dispose of your butts. Let’s all try a little harder, and perhaps educate offending neighbours of the risks. S.

Conditions unacceptable Editor: My husband and I attended the Canadian Open ball games at Softball City. We congratulate the organizers and all the volunteers on a wonderful event. However, I was appalled at the condition of the ladies’ restroom. It is thoroughly disgusting. Only five stalls – three in working order! If we are hosting the 2016 Women’s World Softball Championship, it goes without saying to leave the restrooms in their present deplorable condition would be most embarrassing to not only Softball City but all citizens and fans!

A return of photo radar would solve the province’s traffic-funding problems, writes Simon Bergen-Henengouwen.
Let speeders fund traffic dilemma Editor: As an Alberta transplant from 10 years ago, I have come to love this province. Now in my retirement years, I enjoy the mild winters, vibrant colours of the early spring that other provinces can only dream of, and the awe-dropping scenery of the blue ocean gently caressed by glorious mountains and bright green foliage. But there is one thing that perturbs me more than any other. It is similar, ironically, to the admiration and jealously guarded right to bear arms in the U.S. And that is BC’s outright refusal to use photo radar. Both actions result in considerable personal tragedy and a total disregard for the rule of law – not to mention
the financial cost to our health-care system. What is even more ironic is the fact that bringing it back would provide the very solution to our trafficfunding dilemma. Consider this: Calgary reaps over $50 million per year from photo radar. It is not a stretch to imagine that the GVA could easily bring in $200 million. Is that not exactly what the mayors were looking for? Former premier Campbell promised to remove it and was re-elected. Perhaps Premier Christy Clark will recognize this folly and bring it back; funding problem solved and our streets will once again be safer. And the only ones paying for it are those breaking the law. Simon Bergen-Henengouwen, White Rock

Top executives at Fraser Health collected a total of nearly $2.3 million in pay, benefits and other compensation last year. Former president and CEO Dr. Nigel Murray was paid $153,000 for serving just over half the year until he resigned effective last July 10. That included $100,575 in salary, about $16,000 in benefits and pension, and nearly $35,000 in unused vacation payout, according to the health authority’s financial disclosures. Murray was not paid a severance because he resigned to return to New Zealand as the province was set to unveil significant reforms at the health authority. Dr. David Ostrow took over as interim CEO for the second half of the year, drawing total compensation of $140,000. A new permanent CEO – Michael Marchbank – took over in early January this year at an annual salary of $345,000. The highest paid executive last year was Andrew Webb, vicepresident of medicine, who was
paid a $271,440 salary and combined compensation of $321,000. Vice-president of infomatics Philip Barker and vice-president of operations Marc Pelletier both received combined compensation of about $293,000. Dr. Paul van Buynder, the vicepresident of population health and chief medical health officer, resigned to return to his native Australia last October, receiving just over $167,000 for the truncated year. He was replaced by Dr. Victoria Lee, who previously served as an executive medical director, and collected total compensation of $280,700 last year. Other executives on the authority’s disclosure of highest paid positions included Peter Goldthorpe, the vice-president of corporate services and facilities, who received total compensation of $280,000, and Roy Morton, the interim vice-president of medicine, who received $265,500. The $2.3 million in combined compensation of the executive positions disclosed by Fraser are about 0.07 per cent of the health authority’s $3.1-billion budget.
University disclosures Post-secondary institutions in the region also released their executive pay disclosures this month. Simon Fraser University president and vice-chancellor Andrew Petter received total compensation of $440,000. Amounts in addition to his base salary of $328,870 include pension, benefits, a $7,175 vehicle allowance and an on-campus presidential residence valued at $26,510 per year. SFU paid Petter and five vicepresidents received a total of nearly $1.7 million last year. Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s highest paid was executive president Alan Davis, with total compensation of nearly $233,000. Davis and five other highest paid executives received a combined $1.1 million in 2014. The University of the Fraser Valley paid its president, Mark Evered, just under $230,000. He and five vice-presidents whose pay was disclosed were paid a combined $1.2 million.

Borer emerges ‘Squirrel’ has finished its job of burrowing a hole under the Fraser River between Coquitlam and Surrey. The massive tunnelboring machine deployed by Metro Vancouver to drill a water-supply tunnel to serve the South Fraser area was hauled out of the river last Friday. That ends the critical stage of the $240-million project, which will double the regional district’s capacity to supply water to the Surrey area and ensure the flow of drinking water can survive an earthquake. The one-kilometre tunnel is 30 metres below the river bed and was cut between two 60-metre-deep vertical shafts. The boring machine, dubbed Squirrel, began work in early 2014. Drilling was halted last October when the machine ran into trouble beneath the river, but was resumed in April after repairs to its cutting head. Crews now have to install a new 2.1-metre diameter welded steel water main in the tunnel and shafts and connect them to the existing water lines. Work is to be finished in the fall of 2016. – Jeff Nagel

Terry Wang to take part in Arctic expedition
Student set for ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ trip Melissa Smalley

Staff Reporter
erry Wang has always been fascinated by nature. Growing up in the densely populated city of Xiamen, China, on the country’s southeast coast, Wang would often venture to the surrounding mountains on weekends, hiking, exploring and soaking in everything the environment had to offer. The 15-year-old Semiahmoo Secondary student – who immigrated to South Surrey with his parents two years ago – now has the opportunity to experience some of the planet’s most aweinspiring nature, as he sets off on an Arctic expedition later this month. Wang is one of 100 students from around the globe selected to take Terry Wang part in an educational student program called Students On Ice, a ship-based expedition that partners youth with scientists, elders, educators, artists and innovators to explore areas of western Greenland and Canada’s High Arctic. The expedition departs from Ottawa July 27 and includes workshops, exploration, hands-on research and “lots of adventure,” according to the Students on Ice website. For Wang, travelling to the Arctic offers the chance to connect with nature in a way that he believes is not possible anywhere else. “The Arctic is a very special place on the earth, where there is minimal human disruption with the environment,” Wang explained. “By going there, I can observe the ice, which stores lots of information about the earth from the past.” Although Wang is thrilled to be taking part in a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity, he said that taking part in the expedition has placed a large financial burden on his family. Not wanting their son to miss out on such an experience, his parents – his father is a technician for Telus and his mother is a tutor – managed to borrow from other family members the several thousand dollars it would cost to send Wang on the expedition. Now, Wang is hoping to drum up some community support to help recoup some of the money his parents collected, which he Say YES to Erin Cebula, Global BC

Wang said he strives to make the most out of the opportunities that are before him at school and beyond. As an International Baccalaureate student entering Grade 11 in the fall, Wang is heavily involved in a variety of extracurricular science-related activities.
He has served as an ambassador for the Science Expo Youth Empowerment program, helping to organize and host a science workshop, and has taken part in various science and engineering competitions. He and some friends at Semiahmoo have launched a group aimed at “making the world a better place” through innovative ideas and creations. “It’s a small, invite-only team where we discuss problems and solutions at the school to improve the learning
environment, or to help the community in some way by designing new products,” he said. Above all, Wang said he hopes to focus his inventive energy on ways he and his peers can help the planet, such as exploring renewable resources and energy supplies. “Every human should have the responsibility to help nature, because nature has given us so much,” he said. Anyone interested in supporting Wang’s family financially can get in touch via email, at terrywangbc@gmail.com

South Surrey-based organization seeks volunteers, donations
Sources food bank expands into Langley Dan Ferguson Black Press
Sources, a low-barrier food bank based out of South Surrey, has opened its doors in Langley. The news comes after another Langley food bank reportedly declined to help a single mother because she went to school instead of attending a scheduled meeting. The Langley Food Bank was under pressure to change its policies by the Food Banks BC association to comply with the Food Banks Canada code of ethics. But rather than alter their approach, the Langley Help Network, the operators of the food bank, opted to quit the
association last year. “We have absolutely no association with them whatsoever (now),” Food Banks BC executive director Laura Lansink said. Lansink said the association, which represents 96 food banks in the province, received a “significant” number of complaints, both from clients of the Langley Food Bank and from donors. Most of the complaints concerned food bank decisions to deny service to people, Lansink said. Lansink described a “philosophical difference” between the association and the food bank concerning The Ethical Food Banking Code that

Lansink said after about two years of discussions, the Langley food bank decided to leave the association rather than adjust its policies to comply with the code of ethics. Contacted by Black Press, Langley Food Bank manager Naomi Chambers refused to comment on the split with the association. “I’m going to decline (to speak),” Chambers said. Now, a new food bank is operating in Langley, one that is recognized by the provincial and national associations of food banks. After the Langley Food Bank quit Food Banks BC, the association asked Sources to set up a food bank in the community. Sources is a nonprofit group that has operated a food bank serving South Surrey/ White Rock for over 30
years. It was already serving people in the Langleys, occasionally delivering hampers to people denied service by the Langley Food Bank. Sources has been operating its new food bank from the United Church of Langley at 5673 200 St. since September. It currently distributes food to clients on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It has 449 households registered so far, and expects the number will soon grow to more than 1,000 as word spreads. Bruce Strom, the Sources food bank Langley operations manager, said the agency takes a “lowbarrier” approach that only requires clients to provide a picture I.D. to show they live in the area. If someone happens to be homeless, or
without picture I.D., arrangements can still be made, he added. “Dignity and respect, that’s how we like to treat people,” Strom said. “Not making them jump through hoops.” The Sources food bank approached Black Press after learning about the case of Heidi Dosch, a Langley single mother of four who was denied food by the Langley Food Bank because she chose to attend classes rather than a mandatory meeting to re-apply for benefits. Sources food bank manager Jaye Murray offered to help, saying the newer food bank doesn’t require detailed financial disclosure. Murray said Sources takes the position that most people who seek the services of a food bank are sincere. “Who’s going to stand in line half an hour for
food if they don’t need it?” Murray said. Sources director of community services Denise Darrell said the food bank is there to feed the hungry. “We’re not gatekeepers,” Darrell said. The Sources food bank in Langley started operating from a boardroom in the basement of the United Church on 200 Street. It recently expanded into a multi-purpose room, but it will soon need to find a bigger home, preferably one with warehousing capability. Anyone who can help with that is asked to contact ddarrell@ sourcesbc.ca or phone 604-541-4820. Sources also needs volunteers, especially drivers to make pickups of donated food. To help, phone 604542-4357. To donate, email Murray at jmurray@ sourcesbc.ca or phone 604-541-4833. Help is also needed at the White Rock South Surrey Food Bank, where donations this past quarter are down 50 per cent from those received up to and including Christmas. Manager Jaye Murray said while there is a “wonderful influx” of fresh produce, the food bank has been unable to provide healthychoice items such as juice and peanut butter. Tuna, salmon and chili stocks are also low. To donate, or for more information, call 604-531-8168 or visit www.sourcesbc.ca

A: Massage therapy works great in conjunction with other treatment modalities. If

Q: A:
There are few properties in the South Surrey/ White Rock area selling under $600,000 today, so if you were to sell your tired home and move, where would you go? To sell and buy a new home, you could be looking over $30,000 in costs, including hiring a full service real estate company, paying property transfer tax, legal fees, home inspector, financing charges and moving expenses. Cindy & Dave Walker If you were to stay and renovate your tired home, Realtors would this increase the value? Typically 25 year old homes, offer the nicest locations, close to the ocean, parks, shopping and schools. Large, sunny or view lots, with older homes, even with partial renovations, are targets for builders. They see profit in toppling over these homes, building and selling the new product. Therefore to partially renovate your 25 year old home, may be for your own pride and enjoyment. Conversely, this year with the increased price market, where home owners have, substantially modernized their homes, removed walls and used the latest materials, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, have sold and enjoyed profit. Before taking on a large project, we would strongly recommend you hire the services of a qualified builder, designer, realtor and appraiser for their input to weigh your options. Call us today for a free market evaluation for your area.

The signs of heatstroke to look out for include fatigue, excessive panting and thirst, hyperventilation, glazed eyed, increased salivation, and a rapid pulse. If you notice he is overheating, get him into the shade and apply cool water to his stomach, inner thighs, and the pads of his feet. Air him out and encourage him to stand or walk slowly while he’s cooling down. Provide cool (not cold) water, and if he is not drinking water then try chicken or beef broth. After he cools down, get him to the vet for an exam as the effects of heatstroke can continue for 48 to 72 hours and there may be possible damage to his organs. At the daycare we keep our dogs cool in a number of different ways: having a kiddie pool for them to play/lounge in, freezing water in tubs to make big ice cubes, using fans for constant air flow, and providing cooling dog mats. Grooming wise, many people often think that shaving their dogs thick hair will cool them down, but this is often not the case. A dogs coat provides a buffer to help regulate body temperature and keep him cool in the summer heat!

Tom Fletcher Black Press
A recent tour bus crash on the Coquihalla Highway that injured 30 passengers and threw the driver out through the windshield has prompted a review of motorcoach safety in B.C. One likely change is the requirement for seatbelts in motor coaches, which has been adopted south of the border. A 2013 survey of motor coach operators by the B.C. Trucking Association found that most B.C. companies support mandatory seatbelts, and many have already introduced them. New U.S. government regulations take effect in 2016, requiring new motor coaches to have three-point lap and shoulder seatbelts on passenger seats. The U.S. regulation does not extend to transit and school buses, and does not require retrofitting of existing buses. Announcing the safety review Thursday, Transportation Minister Todd Stone referred to the June 27 collision on the Coquihalla Highway, and another on the same highway a year earlier. Stone stressed that despite those

Tour buses are a key part of B.C.’s tourism industry, and most companies support mandatory seatbelts. incidents, commercial vehicle crashes in B.C. have declined by 24 per cent in the past decade, thanks to strict licensing and vehicle inspection programs. Stone said the review will look at other measures such as mandatory rest periods for drivers. Doug Switzer, CEO of national industry group Motor Coach Canada, said most safety regulations are set by the federal government, and consistent from province to province. He said the Canadian industry supports introducing seatbelts. “Whether or not people will
wear them is another issue, but we would certainly support making seatbelts mandatory on all new coaches,” Switzer told CBC radio. “That’s probably the biggest thing we can do to reduce the impact of collisions when they do occur.” One issue for the industry is enforcement, and whether the driver can be ticketed if bus passengers don’t wear their seatbelts. Transport Canada’s position has been that school buses are safe with closely spaced, highback seats that reduce passenger impact in collisions.

With a few keystrokes you can sample thousands of opinions, aľoat in a sea of information. But as the volume increases, the accuracy and reliability of professional journalism is essential. Gathering and sorting the facts, weighing and interpreting events, and following the story i more important i from beginning to end is than ever.
Foreign gamblers who bet up to $100,000 in a single hand in some B.C. casinos helped drive the provincial government’s gambling take to a record high last year. The B.C. Lottery Corporation’s net profit that goes to the province climbed 6.8 per cent to $1.25 billion in 2014-15, up $80 million from the previous year. The corporation’s annual report says the increase was driven by “exceptional performance” from high-limit table games, which saw the maximum bet raised from $75,000 to $100,000 at some sites. Casinos such as River Rock in Richmond and the Hard Rock Casino in Coquitlam offer “ultraprivate” high-limit VIP poker rooms and baccarat salons that are popular with Asian tourists. The increase from high-limit gamblers offset weak results in lotteries, which were down because the year served up fewer large jackpots. While BCLC has gained from high rollers, the report warns their interest could wane. “The recent slowdown in some national economies and international currency restrictions present business risks,” the report said, without explicitly mentioning China, where the Beijing government has posted lower growth estimates and intervened to prop up a falling stock market. “There is risk in this revenue

Table games, particularly high-stakes ones, helped drive BCLC revenues to a new high last year. stream as it is heavily dependent on a relatively small international player base,” BCLC board chair Bud Smith said in the report. “We know we cannot rely on this business segment for sustainable long-term growth.” In fact, BCLC considers both lottery and casino revenues to be mature and “facing market saturation.” An estimated 51 per cent of B.C. adults gambled through BCLC at least monthly last year. That rate has fallen from 69 per cent in 2012 but BCLC is aiming to get it back up to 55 per cent next year. The average B.C. resident lost $482 a year to BCLC, up from $450 in 2012 and $382 in 2005. More than $950 million in net BCLC profit came from casinos and slot-equipped community gaming centres, compared to $304 million from lotteries and
e-gaming. River Rock had the highest combined slot and table game revenue of $420 million last year, followed by $204 million at the Grand Villa Casino in Burnaby, $150 million at Vancouver’s Edgewater Casino, $125 million at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver, $109 million at Starlight in New Westminster, $106 million at Cascades in Langley and $53 million at Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino in Cloverdale, where an expansion and rebranding under the name “Elements” is underway. Overall, $1.04 billion was lost gambling at those Lower Mainland casinos in 2014. Net profits from BCLC help the province fund health, education and grants to community groups. Host municipalities also get a share of casino profits.

There’s still a chance to catch Peninsula Productions live-theatre version of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1935 spy movie The 39 Steps before it closes this weekend. The played-for-laughs, bare-bones staging of the very British thriller wraps up its run on Saturday (July 25) with a final 8 p.m. performance at Coast Capital Playhouse (1532 Johnston Rd.). Guided by director Matthew Bissett, versatile players Corey Haas (as suave adventurer Richard Alex Browne Hannay), and Laura Caswell, Ben Odberg (The Game’s Afoot, Blithe Spirit) and Ashley O’Connell (the Arts Club’s Spamalot) – as everybody else – achieve hilarity in their attempt to evoke every scene and change of scene in the fast moving plot, derived from the famous John Buchan novel. Tickets ($25; seniors/ children $20) are available from www.peninsulaproductions. org or 604-536-7535.

Beach House Theatre At press time there are still tickets for sale for both shows in Beach House Theatre’s week-long ‘season’ in Crescent Beach, although many of the performances of the evening show, Oscar Wilde’s classic 1895 comedy of manners The Importance of Being Earnest (Aug. 11-16) are now soldout. Directed by Beach House founders Candace Radcliffe and Rick Harmon, it’s an elaborately-costumed, farcical comedy of dalliance among the British upper classes, featuring Tom Gage, Patrick Dodd, Bethany Stanley, Marika Stanger, Michelle Collier, Carol Mann, James Walker, Paul Richardson and Paul Rancourt. There are still good chances, however, to book tickets for Munsch Upon A Time (Aug. 12-15), the family-oriented morning show at Beach House’s state-of-the-art tent auditorium, next to the beach on Blackie Spit. Directed by Elgin Park Players alumnus Courtney Shields, it’s another delightful collage of stories by popular children’s author Robert Munsch, featuring Aaron Holt, Claire Pollock and Matt Falletta.

Gary Comeau He calls it ‘Louisiana gumbo’ – and it is, in truth, a rich stew drawing ingredients from a lot of sources, including Louisianastyle fiddle, Mississippi Delta blues, Cuban and Caribbean songs, old-time jazz and Celtic folk. Well-known local minstrel Gary Comeau, will bring his sound – and his unique, freewheeling, spontaneous approach – to the TD Concerts At The Pier stage on White Rock’s waterfront this Saturday (July 25, 7-10 p.m.), in a show also featuring opening acts Ben Rogers and Lester Quitzau. Like other concerts in the series, presented by the City of White Rock and the White Rock BIA – with major sponsorship from TD Canada Trust, and assistance from the Peak Performance Project – the open-air performance is free. A multi-talented singer, guitarist, mandolinist, fiddler and piano player, Comeau ties all the strands of his inspiration together into a set of highenergy, New Orleans-style rocking roots and blues – likely to get listeners at this Saturday’s concert up dancing. Born and raised near Lunenberg, N.S., Comeau attributes his affinity to Louisiana to his French-Acadian heritage – but there’s no question that his music seems to channel an idyllic Huck Finn-Tom Sawyer world, while also hinting at other enthusiasms, including Western swing, Appalachian music and the jazz of violinist Stephane Grappelli. Joining Comeau will be his band, the Voodoo All Stars, featuring Tim Hearsey on guitar and vocals, Rob Becker on bass and vocals, Chris Nordquist on drums, persussion and vocals, and Jerry Cook on

Blues Challenge Combining the blues and barbecue is turning out to be a winning combination for the White Rock Blues Society, which brings its sixth annual Blues Challenge to Semiahmoo Park July 26. Throughout the day, some 13 bands and solo-duo acts will vie to represent White Rock at this year’s International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tenn., while ‘Memphis Mike’ will cook up appropriately
Southern-style barbecue for hungry listeners. In a musical sense, dessert will be the headline act, a full set by Chicago blues legend, Jimmy D. Lane. The Blues Challenge was originally held at smaller venues in the fall of each year, the society’s Rod Dranfield says. But moving it to the park in time for summer makes a lot of sense for the society, he says, as well as giving winning competitors more chance to “leverage” their wins through subsequent gigs, he adds. Competitors seeking the society’s sponsorship to attend the Memphis IBC include such bands and leaders as
White Rock Trad Jazz Classic live Dixieland and retro jazz sets the easy-going tempos for dancers of all age groups (19 and up) every Sunday afternoon – barring a few holidays and special events – at the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240 (2643 128 St.). Until regular sessions of the White Rock Traditional Jazz Society return in the fall, the society’s house band – Red Beans & Rice, usually led by trumpeter and vocalist Rice Honeywell Sr. – is filling in with regular 2 to 5 p.m. performances each Sunday (except Aug. 2). Admission is $10 for WRTJS and Legion members, $12 for everybody else. Trad jazz enthusiasts should also note that tickets are now available for the Jazz Band Ball festival – this year hosted by the WRTJS – at Pacific Inn and Resort Centre, Sept. 25-27.

Shelley Olds pedals away with Tour de White Rock titles
Solo rider nabs two big wins Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter
t’s lonely at the top – just ask Shelley Olds. The 34-year-old cyclist from Gilroy, Calif. – riding without a single teammate in the field – captured a Tour de White Rock Road Race title Saturday afternoon, outsprinting Sara Bergen to the finish line of the 80-km race after the pair broke away from the chase group with a few laps to go. The win capped an incredible week for Olds. She came to BC Superweek solo and fought off much larger teams – whose riders work together to fend off ❝Sometimes, competition – en route to eight podium finishes and the best defence is a three victorie, including events in White Rock. good offence.❞ both In addition to her roadShelley Olds race win Saturday, she claimed victory at Friday cyclist evening’s criterium in uptown White Rock, while Alberta’s Alison Jackson was second and Elgin Park Secondary alum, Justine Clift, was third. On Saturday, Olds not only had to keep pace with Bergen and her Trek Red Truck Racing teammates – there were seven riders, in all – but also had to do so while battling temperatures that, by early afternoon, had reached 30C. Every time another rider made a move, Olds had no choice but to dig deep and stay with the lead pack, as opposed to staying behind to conserve energy. i see page 26

The Coastal FC Royals won a provincial â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cup championship in 100 Mile House earlier this month, defeating their crosstown rivals from Surrey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Central City Breakers United â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2-0 in the final game. Earlier in the tournament, Coastal FC defeated Kelowna United 6-1, and the Nelson Selects by a 6-0 score. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The provincial victor was a complete team effort, with strong defensive play and goaltending,â&#x20AC;? said Coastal FC coach Rob McDonald. Coastal had qualified for provincials back in May, when the U13 crew won a Coastal Cup title. The team went undefeated in the
regular season, with 11 wins and one tie, and in playoffs went a perfect 5-0 before winning four straight in the Coastal Cup playoffs.

It was now or never, so I jumped across (and into the lead).â&#x20AC;? For her part, Bergen said her game plan was to break from the pack early, and try to tire Olds out by the final laps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With Shelley in the field and riding so strongly, we definitely had to make some moves to make it hard on her,â&#x20AC;? said Bergen, who rode the final stretch of Marine Drive on a flat tire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I pretty much took all the hills as hard as I couldâ&#x20AC;Ś (but) Shelleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a strong lady so that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go too well for me.

McLeod, who rides for H&R Block Pro Cycling, captured the road-race title with relative ease, pulling away from the lead group when the race switched from the 10.1-km long course to the short circuit; when he crossed the finish line on Marine Drive, only a few riders were visible at the bottom of the hill, near the corner of Victoria Avenue and Marine. With only a few laps to go, McLeod and teammate Adam de Vos â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who ended up third, losing a photo-finish for second with Francisco Mancebo â&#x20AC;&#x201C; took turns pulling away from the field, and McLeod eventually pulled away for good. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t super confident that I was going to stay away, but I knew if I came back (to the pack), that Adam (would go) so it was perfect for the team,â&#x20AC;? McLeod said after the victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The team rode great today.â&#x20AC;? Mancebo, a 39-year-old Spaniard and veteran of the European racing scene â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he finished fifth at the Tour de France in 2004 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; admitted it was tough to keep pace with bigger teams like H&R Block and Silber Pro Cycling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which had 10 and eight riders, respectively. He was thrilled to finish on the podium, nonetheless. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The H&R guys attacked one time, then another time, and finally Garrett went alone and I stayed behind.

White Rock native finishes atop the podium in women’s 200-m backstroke
Caldwell swims to gold at Pan-Am Games Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Hilary Caldwell helped lead Canada to an impressive day in the pool last Wednesday at the Pan-Am Games in Toronto. Caldwell, a 24-year-old native of White Rock and Pacific Sea Wolves Swim Club alum, and her Canadian teammate, Dominique Bouchard of Quebec, finished first and second, respectively, in the women’s 200-m backstroke. Caldwell’s gold medal was one of a handful won by Canadian swimmers – Canada ended the day with seven podium finishes. The White Rock swimmer – who won bronze in the same event at the 2013 World Championships – also set a new Pan-Am Games record with her time of two minutes, 8.22 seconds. After the race, Caldwell said swimming in front of a Canadian crowd helped spur her on. “It’s fun to be able to light it up in front of a home crowd, that’s for sure,” she told Canadian Press. When receiving their medals on the podium after the race, Caldwell pulled Bouchard up to

Bill McNamara scores big at Police and Fire Games
Hall-of-fame nod Evan Seal Black Press
A retired assistant Surrey fire chief and local senior is showing no sign of slowing down with his recent haul of medals at the 2015 Police and Fire Games. Bill McNamara, 74, returned home with eight medals along with an induction into the first-ever Police and Fire Games Hall of Fame. The games were held in Fairfax Va. from June 26 to July 5. Since the first games held in San Jose in 1985, McNamara has won 51 medals in total – 13 gold, 17 silver and 21 bronze. Over the years he has held seven games records. “Every two years I would tell myself, as long as I make the podium, I’ll go to the next games,” said the fit, energetic senior, “and every year I have done it, so I couldn’t stop.” Going into this years event, McNamara had won 43 medals, and since this year was his 50th wedding anniversary, his goal was to get seven medals to match his years of marriage. He overshot his goal, however, winning eight medals in the eight events he entered. McNamara has been competing in the 70-74 age group but because

One event was the stair race, a timed race up 29 floors where he placed second and the other was the 4x400-m relay where he and three other competitors won gold and broke the games record.

fire service at age 30, McNamara realized he needed something to keep up the level of fitness needed to work in the physically demanding world of a firefighter and having seen many older firefighters suffer serious health issues due to declining fitness, he didn’t want that to happen to him. “I was a pretty fit guy when I first started, but I started running track to keep fit, mostly the 400- and 800-metre,” he said, “because those races get your heart rate up quickly and you need to maintain that level which is very similar to when a call comes into the fire hall.” He realized fitness was not only the key to his job, but to enjoying life after retirement. “I live a pretty healthy lifestyle, I eat well, and I do enjoy a nice glass of wine occasionally, too. Really nothing has changed, it’s just that now I have to work a little harder.” Despite having a few aches and pains in the morning, having supportive family and friends is what motivates him. Throughout the year, McNamara maintains a busy schedule, balancing gym and track workouts up to six days a week along with many volunteer commitments, including being on the board of directors for both the Surrey Museum and Archives and the Surrey Christmas Bureau. Although he feels his pace is beginning to slow, maintaining a high fitness level remains his main motivation. He has no plan to stop competing, and is aiming to compete at the World Masters Track and Field meet in Perth, Australia next year.

OBITUARIES
On Monday, July 13, 2015, my sweet Vivian slipped her hand out of mine and into the hand of the Lord Jesus Christ whom she loved, served and worshipped all her life. My name is David, Vivian’s devoted husband of sixty-one years. So ended this transitory life of over eight decades and began another with no end, where there is no crying, no pain and no death. Vivian was born in Owen Sound, Ontario, into the home of loving Christian parents, Robert and Sarah Watt. Dedicated to Jesus by her parents, she was given the full name of Charlotte Marie Vivian. She always went by the last of these names because her mother did not want her to be called “Lottie.” The circumstances of her birth did not make her a Christian; that came later when she confessed Jesus to be the Saviour and Lord of her life, thus confirming her dedication and giving her a second and spiritual birth, the beginning of a life given to God and in the service of Christ, family, friends and countless others. Joining me in grieving, yet rejoicing in hope, are our three sons, Blair (Kate), Bruce (Fiona) and Brent (Terry), and daughter-in-law, Karen. Also sorrowing are ten grandchildren, Jason (Courtney), Ryan (Kayla), Geoffrey (Dena), Nigel (Melanie), Marissa, Harry, Mandy, Emily, Esther and Emma; and eight greatgrandchildren, Sophie, Levi, Madison, Jacob, Luca, Gibson, Rowan and Caspar. Also grieving are Vivian’s sister, Doris, sisters-in-law, Louisa and Alison (Peter) and brother-in-law Christopher. Also sorrowing are many nephews and nieces and their children around the world. One day, by God’s grace, we shall meet in the glory of heaven and worship Christ the Redeemer for ever. Little did the Rev Dr Robert Watt know when, in the early fifties, he invited me into their home, that this would lead to a long and happy marriage. Vivian’s parents had always hoped and prayed that their daughter would marry a preacher, which I was not at the time. But God took care of that. In due course, after marriage, the arrival of our first two sons and seminary training, we embarked on pastoral ministry in Waterdown, Ontario, and later in Cobourg, Ontario, son number three having arrived very shortly after taking up pastoral duties in the first of our two charges. Following this we entered the retail world, becoming manager, and later, owners of Logos Bookstore in Kingston, Ontario, where we remained for 26 years until retirement in South Surrey, British Columbia. Vivian’s last phase of life was spent at Crescent Gardens, severely wounded by dementia. She may have lost something of her sparkle, but never any of her sweetness. We, her family, are so very grateful for the loving care she received by the nurses and staff of the third floor. Vivian was in every sense my partner. She was always willing and excelled in numerous roles as Registered Nurse, pastor’s wife, pianist, organist, soloist, store manager, Bible teacher, prayer warrior, counsellor, encourager, hugger, and friend. She will be sorely missed as mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and wise woman. To me she has been, and will always be in my heart, confidante, counsellor, soul-mate, lover and friend. A celebration of Vivian’s life, lived for Christ and others, will be held on Saturday, July 25, 2015, at Bethany Baptist Church, 22680 Westminster Highway, Richmond, BC, at 11am. Friends and family will gather to rejoice in the life of Christ as it was lived through Vivian. Should you wish to do so, you may make a memorial gift in Vivian’s name to Opportunity International (opportunityinternational.ca) and the work they do in the field of micro financing in an ongoing battle against world poverty, a charity dear to Vivian’s heart.
