Band members ‘disheartened’ by pay Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Members of Semiahmoo First Nation are calling for an in-depth look at the band’s finances, after learning last week that their elected officials were together paid nearly a half-million dollars in the 2013-2014 fiscal year. “Realistically, we’d like to see an audit done and have the books completely open, because we’d like to see where the money has gone,” said Darren Dolan, one of 93 registered members of the band. Dolan, 52, noting he has lived his whole life on

the oceanfront reserve, was among many band members who say the remuneration disclosure – mandated by the First Nations Financial Transparency Act – provided the first insight into the band’s finances in more than a decade. Posted last month, the statement indicates Chief Willard Cook was paid $267,729 (including $420 in expenses), councillor Joanne Charles received $200,756 ($13,618 in expenses) and councillor Roxanne Charles received $32,198 ($27,473 in expenses). Expenses reflect costs of transportation, accommodation, meals, hospitality and incidentals.
The information was disclosed nearly eight months after a November 2014 deadline to file. (The day after the deadline, Joanne Charles told Peace Arch News the band had “complied with what we needed to.”) None of the elected officials could be reached for comment – phone messages were not returned and the band office on Beach Road was locked Friday afternoon – however, in a statement issued online Saturday, council members defended their salaries, noting the majority “comes from revenue that has i see page 4

Missing dog found in extreme duress, child seized at scene
Woman charged in animal-cruelty case Kevin Diakiw Black Press
A 24-year-old woman has been charged with animal cruelty for allegedly causing severe trauma to a dog in Surrey earlier this year. Investigators believe Lindsey Susan Hirtreiter jammed lighters, jewelry, a fish hook and other objects down a dog’s throat on Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14). Ryder, a three-year-old black Labrador retriever, had earlier gone missing from a backyard in the Chimney Heights neighbourhood, near 72 Avenue and 146 Street. Surrey Mounties received a call
from a nearby landlord, who said Ryder had suffered several stab his blood-soaked tenant came to wounds from scissors and had cuts the door and claimed she had been in his mouth. attacked by a dog.

This week, Hirtreiter was charged with two counts under the Criminal Code of Canada and Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. “We are extremely pleased that charges have now been approved in this very sad case,” said Eileen Drever, senior animal protection officer for the BC SPCA. “No animal should have to go through the pain and suffering that this poor dog endured.” If convicted, Hirtreiter faces a maximum fine of $75,000, up to two years in jail and a ban on owning animals.

African orphans on tour
‘Experience of a lifetime’ It was a day of firsts for 11 orphaned African teens, who visited White Rock last week as part of a cross-Canada tour. The group of youth made a stop at White Rock Beach Thursday and were given a chance to experience many of the seaside community’s most popular activities. The sojourn at the beach included a lunch of fish and chips donated by Moby Dick’s, ice cream cones provided by Spiritual Ingredients and an hour of paddleboarding courtesy of Feral Boardsports. Among the highlights for the young group, according to White Rock resident and sponsor, Lisa Reid, was shell collecting, discovering sea life and experiencing the Pacific Ocean for the first time. “Our community reached out with open arms to embrace this wonderful opportunity to provide a lifetime experience that will never be forgotten,” Reid told Peace Arch News. The visit – organized and supported by Abbotsford-based charity Seeds of Hope Children’s Ministry that supports children with HIV and other chronic illnesses – includes stops across the country, where the teens will sing in local churches and share stories about life in an orphanage in Zambia. The month-long tour – which will see the group visit the Okanagan, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and several Ontario communities – wraps up in Toronto on Sept. 5. – Melissa Smalley

Celebrating her second anniversary.
i from page 1 been generated on behalf of the nation, and negotiations on some of these agreements are ongoing.� “The Semiahmoo First Nations team, including Chief Willard Cook and Councillors Joanne Charles and Roxanne Charles, have been working hard to bring in the money needed to build a strong future for our Nation and our people. It is through this hard work that our surplus was increased from $1.2m to $4.3m from 2013-14.� Semiahmoo’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014 reported $4,879,420 in revenue, including $3,329,000 in provincial government funding, $171,673 from Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada and $858,142 in partnership income. Administration costs topped expenses, at $939,924, followed by land and resources ($224,807), economic initiative ($136,449) and community programs ($133,197). Dolan and one other member contacted by PAN Friday, Darlene Clark, were critical, with Clark saying she was “utterly sickened� by the salary figures. “As we sit with no housing, no programs, no septic, no gas, no city water, the chief sits on his high horse,� said Clark, a member who lives off-reserve. “Who pays themselves that kind of money? It’s very disheartening to know this information.�

Semiahmoo councillor Joanne Charles and Chief Willard Cook. Clark noted she has a “kneehigh� paper trail documenting her requests over the past decade to have the finances disclosed, and has never received a response. Dolan – who is Clark’s cousin – said he, too, has made “hundreds� of requests for financial information since 1997, to no avail. Last week’s disclosure is “a good start,� he said, but far from enough. Noting band leaders are supposed to take care of its members, Dolan said that hasn’t been the case. His own home – without sewer or water connections – is considered condemned, he said, and others are no better off. He said he is being denied access to reserve property that his family owns, which is preventing use for income purposes. “We live in distress and Third World conditions, while they have anything they want at their fingertips,� he said. “All we’re trying to do is survive.� The leaders’ online statement notes council members are “taking the time to talk to (members)
now and over the coming days to make sure members are happy with how business is being handled,� and that efforts to improve the infrastructure will take place “over the next year or two.� A letter to on-reserve members last weekend promised that any steps would be announced today. Dolan said Tuesday he was not comforted by the letter. “The biggest problem with this is now that they’ve been caught, they’re coming forward with this,� he said. “They’ve treated us like their little kids for years. Until this came out, we’ve never received a letter from them.� According to a statement of salaries issued by the Assembly of First Nations last December, the “vast majority� of chiefs in Canada receive “fair and reasonable� pay, noting a median salary of just under $65,000. The FNFTA became law in 2013, giving First Nations until last Nov. 26 to file financial details for 2013-’14. The deadline to file 2014-’15 documents was July 29.

A minority of transit users are already using it, but the full rollout of TransLink’s Compass card this fall will bring cash-free convenience and other advantages to all other riders who sign up. No longer will passengers have to find correct change for a cash fare, or spend time buying prepaid tickets or passes ahead of time at stores. Instead, they’ll log in to the compasscard.ca website or insert the card at kiosks and and load money on their account, which will be automatically drawn down as they use it. Users won’t even have to remember to reload their card – they can activate a Compass option that automatically tops up the account when it falls below $5 with a pre-set amount from their bank account or credit card. Right now, passengers who lose their monthly pass are simply out of luck and a bunch of money. Under Compass, as long as they’ve registered the card, they’ll be able to deactivate a lost or stolen card and transfer the balance to a new one. FareSaver tickets and paper monthly passes and day passes will cease to be sold at some point, likely by early 2016. Compass users will be able to buy electronic
from the cash fare. At transit stations, cash payers will buy a paper Compass ticket at a vending machine that will work at faregates. Buses will continue to accept cash indefinitely but the paper transfers they issue won’t work at SkyTrain or SeaBus once the Compass faregates are shut – those riders will have to pay an extra fare at that point. By October, people will be able to buy Compass cards in station vending machines. By November, they’ll be available through retail outlets or by mail order over the phone and online. Officials aren’t predicting exactly when all faregates will be closed. The long-delayed rollout is happening now because TransLink has abandoned its original plan to require passengers tap out as they exit buses. As of Oct. 5 it will charge only one zone on bus routes that previously required payment for two or three zones. Further in the future, other things become possible as well with Compass. TransLink wants to ultimately charge based on actual distance travelled. And when a major service disruption occurs, it may be possible to issue refunds.

Focus on safety
W
e cannot live in fear – but we must be mindful of safety. The recent case of a 70-yearold woman who was confronted – and then assaulted – by an intruder in her South Surrey home is a disturbing reminder that, while we should not allow ourselves to be paralyzed by anxiety, we need to exercise vigilance. The woman in question has shown admirable courage and resilience following an ordeal that we wouldn’t wish on anyone. No doubt the support of her husband and family – and the understanding and consideration of police, fire and medical personnel – have been vital to her determination to recover and move on from the horrific incident. Her husband has also said that they are taking steps to increase security at their 28 Avenue home, acknowledging they were ‘complacent’ after eight years in the neighbourhood. In the past, he said, they didn’t even bother locking their doors. Historically, anyone could be forgiven for such ‘complacence.’ Sickening intrusions into personal space are unimaginable for most Semiahmoo Peninsula residents. But while this has been – generally – considered a safe area, it’s evident that we can’t count on that any more. It’s natural, too, that an incident of this kind triggers public anger. A lot of it, rightfully, is directed at the criminal who perpetrated this act. Some of it, inevitably, is directed at Surrey RCMP, who some residents feel haven’t been taking break-and-enter incidents in the area seriously enough. It is also evident that police continue to operate with limited resources, particularly given the geographic area, and must prioritize their response to reported crimes. Statistically – in spite of anomalies and periodic spikes – crime rates are generally dropping in Canada, although this information is likely scant comfort to anyone who has been victimized. While we don’t need to feel like prisoners in our own homes, we do have a responsibility to ensure that we aren’t inadvertently contributing to ‘crimes of opportunity.’ It’s easy enough: lock doors and windows, take basic precautions to secure our homes and help police by reporting suspicious behaviour. By planning for the anomaly, rather than the norm, we can go a long way to restoring confidence that our homes, and personal safety, are still sacrosanct.

bit at a time, and the national and local candidate debates may help clarify them. Here are a couple that could use closer scrutiny. Harper has promised to revive a stimulus program from the 2009 economic crisis, offering a 15 per cent tax credit for home improvements between $1,000 and $5,000. This sounds great if you’re a homeowner, but does nothing for renters, drives up the cost of housing in already overpriced urban markets and encourages more consumer debt. Trudeau has promised an additional $2.6 billion over four years for First Nations education on reserves, and accelerated spending on school infrastructure. Mulcair has promised to hold a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women. Mulcair and Trudeau both pledge to reverse the Conservative moves to eliminate what’s left of doorto-door mail delivery, and to extend the age of eligibility for the Old Age Security pension from 65 to 67. All of these promises are presented in the most appealing way possible by the parties that promote them, and all involve spending and taxation trade-offs that the parties would prefer not to discuss. Another possible dividend from a formal campaign stretching more than two months is that more voters will pay attention to the real issues and actually take the time to cast a ballot. If that happens, and the long decline in voter turnout is reversed, it’s a good investment. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Peace Arch News
Views eroded at our expense Editor: There is a nice little park on the hillside in White Rock below the corner of Blackwood and Prospect. It contains many lovely trees and plants and is adorned with benches from people who have lived in White Rock and have been donated by loved ones through the years. One such bench at the very top of the park has a plaque dated 1908-1998 and which names an individual, his loved ones and reads: “He enjoyed this view for 23 tears.” The “view” is all but hidden now. I am sure Mr. X enjoyed a spectacular view of the ocean, but now all one can see is overgrown trees and foliage. So what, do you ask, is my point? It is the cruel fact that this city continues to take away views at the expense of many of us, dead or alive. The loved ones of Mr. X, who enjoyed the view, paid for that bench and wanted to share with us what their dad had experienced. It was given to the city. Just like many of us who paid for a view when we bought our apartment and homes. And the city continuous to reap large benefits from that by the numerous “free” benches that are in this park and the high property taxes we pay for having that view. Yet when that view is gone from overgrown trees, does the city acknowledge it and cut the trees back to where they were? Guess again! We have to go to the city, pay $150 for a permit and, if granted, that permit then allows us to at our own cost have those trees trimmed. And then only so much. So not only are we paying extra for once having that view, but now we are penalized by having to pay even more to restore that view. One questions both the legality but more so the morality of this parasitic policy. Come on, council, do the right thing. Simon Bergen-Henengouwen, White Rock
They report him with a knife. Again, witness reports do not agree with that. He was shot and killed. As I see it, all the RCMP constables have been through school learning “to serve and protect.” Does that teach them to shoot unarmed boys? This looks to be a major flaw in the RCMP training. It’s almost as if this is the Wild West where they shoot first and ask questions later. But in the Wild West people that shot unarmed people were charged with murder. Maybe it’s time to have sober look at how we are protected. Martin Friesen, White Rock
Longboard rebuttals Editor: Re: ‘Shredding’ light on longboarders July 31 letters. While I understand letter-writer Joel Sukkau’s desire to defend his sport, there is no need to be insulting. I merely pointed out that Foster and Fir are busy streets with limited visibility even on a clear day, but of course, as shown on your YouTube videos, these are exactly the streets you prefer. I did not question the legitimacy of your sport or the skills you possess – I don’t know you. I did not refer this as a “problem” in White Rock. It is a safety issue in many municipalities with hills.
Accidents could and have happened for different reasons, including drivers who couldn’t see the longboarders or longboarders losing control. And it’s not just longboarders who may be injured. Drivers may be hurt from swerving to avoid hitting a longboarder. Also, I do not believe you can vouch for every longboarder that they have the same skills you do. There are learners to the sport and they may not have the same control. If you are a professional athlete, then you should set a good example to the younger kids instead of telling me or anyone not to “write articles about things (I am) not fully aware of.” I am fully aware that in B.C. alone, three longboarders have been killed in collisions with vehicles since 2010, and five have been critically injured. If you wish to be able to enjoy your sport, you need collaboration through communications with residents, government and lawenforcers so that you could come up with mutually acceptable solutions, like special days where streets could be blocked off for a number of hours, or fundraising to build special skateboarding parks. I suggest you reflect on whether the tone you used in your letter is conducive to having people listen to you, respect you and your sport, and support your cause. L. Wills, White Rock Q Thanks to letter-writer Joel Sukkau for the info, but did you also know
that the roads are for cars? When you see and hear all the horrific outcomes of these choices over the years, you will understand better what is being cautioned. Accidents happen no matter how skilled one is, and prevention is key. We don’t want to see it on our roadways, if it can be helped. That’s why communities have provided venues to enjoy your sport just like all other sports. You won’t see skiing or luge etc. on our roads, would you? Then why is longboarding OK, just because you think you know what you’re doing? That’s why it’s called an accident. Two-thousand-pound-plus vehicles are on these roads, and who do you think will suffer the most impact – or worse – if the two shall meet? Patricia Seggie, Surrey

Editor: I was under the impression that when all heavy-wire fence was put in from High Street to Oxford Street, the coal trains would not be “tooting” their horns as enthusiastically as they used to. However, I find that now they are even more excessive, whether it be morning or night. Am I the only one who feels that way? D. Barros, White Rock

Major flaw in RCMP training Editor: It is with alarm that I have been watching the news as it relates to the RCMP. On Oct. 14, 2007, four RCMP constables eliminated Robert Dziekanski. He was Tasered to death. While holding a stapler. That case is still winding through the court system. Officers are charged with lying but not charged for Dziekanski’s death. Now, on July 18, three or four constables shot and killed young Hudson Brooks. The reports out of the RCMP office is that he was “suicidal.” Witness reports disagree with that. But to shoot him? How does that save a suicidal boy? Two days earlier, in Dawson Creek, the RCMP ran into a man in a mask.

No surprise that relying on transit users to ‘tap out’ at the end of bus rides will cause delays, writes Maureen Kerr.
Fare problem clear to bus riders Editor: Re: One-zone bus fares on way, Aug. 12. I rolled my eyes and shook my head when I read that TransLink tests reveal many passengers forget to tap out. Well, duh! And, yes, there will be major delays on busy routes if everyone has to tap out. Another duh! These two problems were so glaringly obvious to me
– and to probably a thousand other transit users – from the get-go, and TransLink only figures it out now? What on earth is wrong with these people? There’s not an ounce of common sense among them. If they’d bothered to consult with actual passengers before buying the system, they could have saved themselves – and us – a lot of money. Would somebody please inject some brains into that company!

developments brought before the city’s Advisory Design Panel last month, at a standing-room-only meeting at city hall. The developer was asked to consider a number of issues highlighted by the panel, including the relocation of hydro lines underground, potential impacts and relationships with neighbouring developments, the complexity of the design, size and
orientation of decks and an overall refinement of the design. Another large-scale development currently proposed for west of White Rock’s town centre – at North Bluff and Nichol roads – was met with discontent from residents at a public-information meeting Aug. 11. The 15-storey, 134unit residential project, proposed by Texor Homes Inc., would also require both rezoning and an OCP amendment. The city is currently in the midst of updating its OCP, a process that is expected to wrap up by the end of next year.

‘Determined to not let it change our lives’ i from page 1 weapon and restrained her. When she couldn’t comply with the intruder’s demands for cash and other items, she was attacked, suffering what police described as “significant” injuries. RCMP issued a safety warning to the community and, the next day, released a description and security-footage images of a suspect sought in connection with the disturbing crime. The images – of a man wearing a baseball cap, grey T-shirt and sunglasses – were captured around 2 p.m. the day of the attack, at an RBC bank machine at 20059 40 Ave. in Langley. He is described as 20 to 30 years old, five-foot-10 to six feet tall, with a medium build and no visible marks, scars or tattoos. He is believed to be Caucasian, and, at the time of the offence, had shoulder-length, light-coloured hair that may not have been real. He spoke without any distinguishable accent, the victim told police. Police confirmed to PAN that the bank card used at the machine did not belong to the suspect, but would not confirm if it was stolen. Cpl. Scotty Schumann said Monday that “several” tips have been received as a result of the released photos, however, none have led to the suspect’s identity. As unsettling as the incident was, the woman’s husband told PAN Monday that the couple – married 51 years this month – are intent on getting through it. “We’re doing the best we can and we’re determined to see this thing through and not let it change our lives,” he said. He added they are also taking steps to

Now… the gate’s closed continuously.” And while the victim and her husband have no complaints with how police have handled their case, describing their response at the time and in the days since as “absolutely fantastic,” others who contacted PAN in the wake of it criticized the Mounties for not taking previous break-and-enter reports seriously enough. Kyle Nielson said Thursday that an officer with Surrey’s serious-crimes unit told her that repeated false alarms at her home – in the same neighbourhood as last week’s break-in – impacted how seriously the reports were taken. Rina Vitulli described the attack as “the consequence of police inactions and it’s more frequent than they care to admit.” Vitulli said she was home last Decem-
ber when two people broke into her house. She called 911, gave descriptions of the individuals and their truck, and police arrived 90 minutes later, “only to give me a report for the insurance claim.” Schumann said police respond to calls based on the emergency, “and this may delay attendance to a report of a B&E not in progress.” Noting the detachment fielded 386,000 calls for service last year, Schumann said police do attend every reported break-and-enter. The incidence is tracked by crime analysts, enabling police to focus their attention on hot spots. “I’ve never met an officer who didn’t take a B&E seriously,” Schumann said by email. “Someone getting into your home is no joke.” Gary Cameron, a Block Watch captain in the area, agreed police are doing the best they can with the resources they have. And while it’s easy to blame police for the problem, he said it falls first on those perpetrating the crimes. Noting the number of residential break-and-enters in South Surrey were “horrendously up” in 2014, Cameron said residents need to take their own role in addressing the problem just as seriously, by reporting all suspicious activity to police. He hopes an initiative of the Grandview Heights Stewardship Association – in which magnets encouraging people to call the police non-emergency number if they see questionable individuals or activity are to be distributed – will help. “Call in when you see something,” he said.

definition, needs sunlight; the technology for tidal or wave power, still a work in progress, is applicable only along coastlines; fracking is highly suspect. That leaves us geothermal power, still in its infancy, and leads back to more nuclear generators with all their problems. Fortunately, there is an alternative to uranium. It is thorium. Not only is thorium more abundant than uranium, it is less radioactive, and thorium-fuelled reactors burn more hotly than those using uranium fuel, so that almost all of the fuel – about 99 per cent – is consumed and little residue is left over. Importantly, thorium is difficult to use in production of weaponry. Given all these advantages, why isn’t thorium used widely instead of uranium? Since there are no fissile isotopes in thorium, fissile material such as 233 or 235 uranium or plutonium must be added to ensure the desired reaction can be achieved. According to an M.I.T. report from 2011, there is need for further research to develop
the economic practicality “of extraction of its latent energy in a cost-effective manner.” The report goes on, “though there is little in the way of barriers to a thorium fuel cycle, with current or near-term reactor design there is also little incentive for any significant market penetration.” Is this absence of impetus to achieve significant market penetration due to industrial or government inertia? It’s indeed a sad commentary on governments around the world if a major impediment to developing thorium nuclear technology is that it does not lend itself easily to weapons production. Work is in progress in Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, United Kingdom and the United States, but India is the leader in promoting and developing thorium as an acceptable source of energy. Perhaps this is only the introduction to an intriguing story. Dr. Roy Strang writes monthly on the environment for the Peace Arch News. rmstrang@shaw.ca

Midsummer Night’s Dream It’s not a costumed version of the play, but Peninsula Productions’ staged reading of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream does promise theatre-goers a treat for the imagination. Gateway Theatre artistic director emeritus Simon Johnston will direct the play, first in a new series of staged readings offered by Peninsula Productions, Aug. 28 at 7 p.m. at the ‘black box’ theatre in White Rock Elementary, 1273 Fir Street. Co-sponsored by the City of White Rock, the show will bring together 14 local and regional actors under the direction of Johnston, a veteran of more than 30 years in Canadian theatre. A playwright and director of more than 200 plays, he is a recipient of the Governor General’s Canada 125 Medal, a nominee for the prestigious W.O. Mitchell Literary Prize, and has also been inducted into McMaster University’s Alumni Gallery. Peninsula Productions artistic director Wendy Bollard said the show will be a phenomenal experience for the actors themselves. “As actors we don’t always get the opportunity to work with a director of Simon’s calibre, nor do we have the luxury

of speaking Shakespeare’s words with a script in front of us.” she said. “I think this will be a great experience for the audience, too. When you listen to a play being read your imagination is engaged and you get to imagine all the wonderful things Shakespeare dreamt up.”
Outside The Box White Rock’s Outside The Box Festival, a month-long, genre-challenging celebration of art in fibre returns to the city for a fifth year Aug. 29-Sept. 30. As in previous years, White Rock Library is a key location for the launch (Aug. 29, 2 p.m.), displays and ongoing programs. Festival co-ordinator Alicia Ballard will have her own feature as part of the festival and White Rock Library’s ongoing Master
Artists in the Library program, Sept. 11 and 12, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., showcasing a workin-progress inspired by the mythological goddess Medusa. Launch ceremonies will feature Kali Bags and Accoutrements partners Katherine Siemens and Stephanie Lafreniere – also known as the tribal fusion dance duo The Fusionistas – who will showcase up-cycled art bags and other wearables. Throughout September, gallery owner Mary Mikelson will host a display of Outside The Box founder Pauline Dutkowski’s fibre art and the fibre-related work of another great local “outside the box” thinker – Elizabeth Carefoot – at the Mind and Matter Gallery (13743 16 Ave.). The community is also invited to participate ‘hands on’ in the Interknots II Fibre Installation, Sept. 18, 1:30-3:30 p.m.
Artists Chris MacClure and Marilyn Hurst are inviting local art lovers to bid on a selection of paintings at their Golden Cactus Studio in White Rock – and help support the efforts of young artists on the Peninsula at the same time. Some 35 pieces of art on display until Aug. 31 at the studio are being auctioned – by sealed, silent-bids – to help raise money for the “International Artist Day” bursary program. Proceeds will be used to provide bursaries to fine art students at Elgin Park, Semiahmoo, and Earl Marriott Secondary. Bids close at 3 p.m. on Aug. 31, and the highest bidder for each piece at that time will be the owner. The first five bidders will also receive a 2014 International Artist Day festival poster signed and numbered by MacClure. Golden Cactus Studio is located at 1455 Johnston Rd.

White Rock-South Surrey baseball squad wins Canadian Little League Championship
All-Stars power way to World Series Nick Greenizan
T
Sports Reporter
he White Rock All-Stars are taking their talents to the world stage. The White Rock-South Surrey Baseball Association’s 12-year-old Little Leaguers are set to take on the world this week, at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa. On Sunday afternoon, the team of Peninsula 12-year-olds punched its ticket to the prestigious tournament – which is broadcast on television across North America and features some of the world’s top young players – after a convincing 16-0 win over the host squad from East Nepean, Ont. The White Rock champs now head immediately across the border to Pennsylvania, where they’ll play in the World Series’ International Division at the end of the week, alongside fellow regional champions from Japan, Mexico, Australia and the Caribbean, among others. In Sunday’s final, White Rock and East Nepean played relatively evenly in the early going – the only runs scored in the first three innings came when the B.C. champs plated three in the second inning, after a runs of singles from Trent Lenihan, Marcus Bradley, Kole Turner and Kai Cumiskey combined with an error by East Nepean. The 3-0 lead held until the fourth, when White Rock exploded for five runs, highlighted by a home run – his fourth of the tournament – from Darius Opdam Bak. The fifth inning was much of the same for the high-power White Rock offence, as the team exploded for eight runs. The All-Stars sent 11 batters to the plate in the inning, and Lenihan put an exclamation point on the offensive barrage with two home runs – giving him five for the week. East Nepean couldn’t close the substantial gap in the bottom half of the inning, and the game ended early on account of the mercy rule. On the mound for White Rock, Matthew Wilkinson proved nearly impossible for East

White Rock All-Star players celebrate after recording the last out in the final game of the Canadian Little League Championships. Nepean batters to hit, striking out 12 while allowing just one hit. He finished the week as one of the tournament’s top pitchers, leading all hurlers in wins, with two, and strikeouts, with 31. White Rock had a fair numbers of batters atop the tournament leaderboard, as well. Turner led all hitters in batting average with a .652 mark – Wilkinson, Opdam Bak and Taeo Maisonville also finished in the top 10 in average – while Lenihan finished with the most home runs. Opdam Bak and Wilkinson finished in a second-place tie for homers, with four apiece. Opdam Bak also ended up leading the tournament in RBI, with 16.
After losing just one round-robin game earlier in the tournament – to the High Park Braves of Ontario – White Rock assured itself of a spot in semifinals with a win Wednesday over Moose Jaw. Then, on Thursday, White Rock wrapped up its round-robin schedule with a 9-8 victory over High Park, to finish in top spot in the round robin. In Saturday’s semifinal tilt, the B.C. representatives cruised to an 11-1 win over Nova Scotia’s Glace Bay Colonels, while East Nepean upset their provincial rivals from High Park for the second berth in the championship game. Against Glace Bay, Opdam Bak earned
the win on the mound, striking out eight over four-and-one-thirds innings, and Jay Mather came into the game in relief to record the final two outs, one of them by strikeout. As was the case for much of the tourney, White Rock relied heavily on the long ball – Opdam Bak, Wilkinson, Turner and Alen Sugimoto all hit home runs. Now, White Rock will trade their black and teal uniforms for red ones – adorned with the Maple Leaf. In Williamsport, they’ll hit the field for the first time Friday, when they square off against the champions from Mexico at 11 a.m. Pacific Time.
Michelle Kim finishes first, Hannah Lee second in Saskatchewan
Surrey golfer wins Canadian junior girls title A pair of Surrey golfers stood above the field earlier this month at Canadian Junior Girls Golf Championships in Saskatchewan. Michelle Kim, an 18-year-old member of Team Canada’s development squad, and fellow Surrey golfer Hannah Lee finished first and second, respectively, at the four-round tournament, which was held at Deer Park Golf Course in Yorkton, Sask. Kim’s third-round score of 69 propelled her ahead of the competition with a four-stroke lead through 54-holes, and she went on to finish the championship at sixunder par 286. “This is probably the biggest achievement that I’ve ever made. I mean I still can’t believe it; it feels amazing especially because it is my last junior tournament and I’ve
worked really hard,” Kim said in release. Kim managed four rounds at even-par or better through high winds and rainy conditions to capture the championship by two strokes. “I’ve played this tournament for many years and I’ve gotten close, but I was never really that close to winning. To win this just really gives me a big confidence boost going into the University of Idaho and competing in NCAA tournaments,” she said. With the victory in the 2015 Canadian Junior Girls Championship, Michelle Kim has earned a spot in the 2016 Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship hosted at Ken-Wo Golf Club in New Minas, N.S., and has earned exemptions into the 2016 season’s three Canadian Women’s Tour
events. Lee, a provincial teammate of Kim’s, finished her final round at two-under par to claim second place overall, at four under for the tournament. Her final round was highlighted by four birdies and an eagle on the par-5 second hole. “I was close to winning it, but I’m really happy for Michelle. I’ve seen her golf ever since I started playing tournaments, so congrats to her,” said the 15-year-old Lee, whose score was good enough to claim the juvenile division title. “It’s an honour to win the juvenile part of nationals,” said Lee. “I will take my experience from this tournament, I’m going to think about the memories I had here and remember to use them for my next tournaments so I can be more successful.” – Nick Greenizan

OBITUARIES
WRIGHT, Maurice Hugh Henry Passed away on - Friday August 14, 2015 at Peace Arch Hospital in his 69th year. Loving husband to Carol Ann, father to sons Sean and Kerry, and grandfather to Kylan and Sasha, his presence will be missed more each day. His selflessness, strength of character and kindness of heart earned him the respect of many friends and coworkers, but the love he shared with his family is beyond expression. His memory will stand as an example to many that greatness is not found in possessions, power, position, or prestige, it is discovered in goodness, humility, service, and character. There will be no formal ceremony and the family asks that in remembering him, you instead give that time to celebrating your own family and friends. Donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
