Vandalism blamed

Play area torn down Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Beyond the drop-off point

It’s not a playground anymore. On Wednesday, demolition crews removed equipment and leveled the site of the former playground at Semiahmoo Park. Contacted by Peace Arch News the next day, Semiahmoo First Nation councillor Joanne Charles confirmed the playground is history. “It’s gone – it’s done,” said Charles, who was reached by phone during a fishing trip. Charles blamed recent vandalism of wooden playground structures – including a safety railing and wall – and related liability issues, as the deciding factors for removing the playground. The land, owned by the Semiahmoo First Nation, was leased to Surrey as a park until it reverted to the band’s control in 1996. But the playground remained a feature of the land – and continued to be used by other Peninsula residents – until this week. “We were going to try to keep repairing it,” said Charles, who noted significant damage had been done to structures during last weekend’s Spirit of the Sea celebrations. see page 4

Most of the air and producing energy from the pollution is generated within process. However, they want to

see any such facilities located in a place where air quality is not an issue. They may be erring on the side of caution, but such caution is commendable. Fraser Valley residents (and many in Surrey) were opposed to the idea of a vast gas-fired electricity plant in Sumas, Wash. some years ago. The plant, known as SE2, was the subject of massive opposition from provincial, regional and local governments, and the plan was eventually scrapped. Incinerating garbage may not produce the same levels of air pollution, but there is no guarantee that it won’t produce any pollution. If the airshed is as fragile as we have been told over many years by politicians, who have hatched schemes such as AirCare and brought in many onerous restrictions on burning, why would Metro Vancouver even consider placing an incineration plant in the region? Metro Vancouver does not get the final word on the draft waste plan. That responsibility lies with Environment Minister Barry Penner. It should be pointed out that Penner, MLA for Chilliwack, was one of the most vocal opponents of SE2 and is thoroughly familiar with the arguments about Metro Vancouver’s polluted air affecting Fraser Valley communities. It will be very interesting to see which way he goes when he rules on the plan. Frank Bucholtz writes Fridays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

news Young women deliver Canadian Cancer Society’s message in person

Anti-tan ambassadors take it to the beach Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

Seven young women who have taken a strong stance against tanning are making their rounds on the Semiahmoo Peninsula to raise awareness about its harmful effects. Called White Rock/Surrey Sun Ambassadors, the volunteers launched their campaign at last weekend’s Spirit of the Sea Festival, where they handed out “UV bracelets.” Children were invited to make the jewelry using white beads that turn colourful in the sun, warning wearers of exposure to ultraviolet rays. For 17-year-old ambassador Lindsay Bevan, the chance to educate others is the reason she signed up for the Canadian Cancer Society program. Upon learning of the society’s call for volunteers in June, the Semiahmoo Secondary student thought back to someone she met earlier this year who had been diagnosed with Stage 3 melanoma. The young woman was just a couple years older than herself.

“(Volunteering) was something I could do to prevent that from happening again.” Upon being selected for the team, Bevan and the other ambassadors – who range in age from late teens to early 20s – underwent two hours of training through the cancer society, learning about sun-safety messages, skin cancer and people who are most at risk. They described their reasons for joining the team in short compositions, which were used as their first posts to the team’s Tanning Is Out blog (tanningisout.wordpress.com) Sun Ambassador Jana Keogh said she wants to help change the public perception of tanned skin being desirable. “Everyone sees tanning as a sign of beauty when all (a tan) is is damaged skin cells,” Keogh said, noting her grandmother had the disease. “So many people aren’t aware 90 per cent of skin cancer can be avoided. “Skin is the largest organ on the body. A lot of people think of it as superficial… but it’s just like any other organ that has to be taken care of.”

Jana Keogh and Lindsay Bevan speak out. The Sun Ambassador initiative is continuing to grow. It is can now be followed on Twitter, and ambassadors plan on having a regular presence at White Rock Farmers Market on Sundays throughout the rest of the summer. Natasha Raey – who organized the initiative – said the ambassadors have also been visiting day camps, where they talk with

children six to 12 years old about the harmful effects of the sun and engage kids in sunthemed activities. “We feel its important to educate children as well as adults,” she said, noting the team will visit other facilities, such as preschools, free of charge. The program received its first piece of feedback from the public during the sea festival, where members collected signatures for a no-tan pledge, in which people vowed not to tan for the rest of the summer. “More than 100 people signed it over two days,” Raey said. After September, participants will have the opportunity to transition into health promotion volunteering with the cancer society, Raey said. The Sun Ambassador program will likely start up again in summer 2011. “This is our pilot year and I think it’s going fairly well, so we definitely want to do it again next year,” Raey said.

Honoured policing volunteer Ken Rous has many memories of the people he’s met while serving in South Surrey over the past decade.

Finding answers is senior’s goal

RCMP volunteer surrounded by ‘heroes’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Ken Rous is a self-described pit bull. Ask him a question he can’t answer or give him a problem he can’t solve, and the determined senior won’t let go of it until he finds someone who can. Show disrespect for authority, and Rous’ grip is even firmer. It’s a determinedness he’s put to good use over the past decade, as a community policing volunteer at the District 5 RCMP station in South Surrey – one that hasn’t gone unnoticed. Rous, 75, was one of nearly two dozen community policing volunteers honoured last month for their dedication to numerous programs and services that, in the words of Staff Sgt. Scott Campbell, “could not even begin to be accomplished” without their help. The senior was also one of two volunteers – along with Bill Cooke – chosen by his D5 peers for special recognition, for outstanding service in 2009. Recently diagnosed with terminal cancer, Rous said he was “very thrilled and honoured” by the award. The gift of time is the most

A test program banning smoking from some parks and beaches is looking promising, and may become law by fall. Surrey’s parks and recreation department initiated the pilot project in May, placing signs in several areas used by children – including fields and playgrounds – that smoking is not allowed. Owen Croy, Surrey’s manager of parks, said Wednesday it’s too early to make a hard determination, but indications are that the program is a success. “The information I’ve received back from staff so far is that the pilot is going well and that people are compliant,” Croy said Wednesday, noting he expects to report back to the parks committee this fall so it can make a recommendation to council. Only one South Surrey area, Bakerview Park, is included in the trial program. There is also a second smoking ban currently in place that aims to reduce wildfire risk. The ban includes trails, parks and other “natural areas” throughout the city – including Crescent Park, Dogwood Park and Sunnyside Acres Urban Forest – that have a high “chance of ignition.” Signs have been placed throughout parks advising of the ban, but Croy said, in the interest of safety, those using the parks should observe the ban regardless of whether a sign is present. Coun. Mary Martin, a member of the Mayor’s Task Force on Health, said earlier this year that she would be exploring the idea of extending Surrey’s no-smoking areas to parks and beaches. “It’s going to come,” Martin said at the time. “People are choked.

We look like the bad guys: Charles from page 1 While some of the wood was rotten, large pieces had been kicked away, she said. And while the Semiahmoo First Nation had taped the site to keep people away from dangerous areas while repairs were contemplated, people continued to take tape down. “People weren’t being respectful enough of it, and we made the decision it would be safer for all the kids to demolish it.” Charles said that while it wasn’t an easy decision to reach, “I wouldn’t want to be having this conversation if a kid had been injured.” “Then, people would be saying, what are you guys doing?” she said. “Whatever we do, we look like the bad guys.” When the lease with Surrey expired, Charles noted, the playground came with it. “But so did the liability,” she added. “We’ve been generous, not only during the original lease with Surrey, but also for the last 14 years since it expired. At our expense and cost we’ve maintained it and kept it open, without user fees or tax dollars and only band revenues keeping it open. But the band does not have the funds whatsoever to replace or repair it.” Charles said there are no plans to do anything with the former playground area, but the rest of the park continues Kristian Rasmussen photo to function as a park. Demolition crew clears playground site. “We’re very fortunate to

have a partnership with the City of White Rock for the maintenance of the washrooms and garbage pickup, but the maintenance of the green areas and fields and all recreation areas in the park is our responsibility, and I think people may not realize that.” Charles noted the demolition of the playground was not directly connected to issues around dog feces pollution at the park, but acknowledged it did have to do with a “general disrespect” for the area. It has been known for some time that Semiahmoo First Nation has been contemplating fencing its land in response to concerns about pollution along the Little Campbell River and the shoreline, and pollution of the land by dog feces as a result of years of use as a dogwalking area. During one day’s worth of cleanup before the recent Salish Sea Journey canoe event hosted by the Semiahmoo First Nation, Charles calculated that volunteers removed close to 20 pounds of canine excrement from the area. At the time of the event, Charles and other volunteers also noted the rudeness of dog owners and others, who disregarded barriers erected around the perimeter of the event, and became abusive when told it was Semiahmoo First Nation land, claiming it was a “public park.”

editorial

Wildfire risks exist here, too s hundreds of square kilometres worth of forests burn in B.C.’s Interior, it’s important to remember how easily our surroundings here can be set alight after the stretch of hot, dry weather we’ve enjoyed through the latter part of July and early August. It’s not just the central and northern parts of the province that are at risk to fires, as evidenced by the wildfire on Burnaby Mountain a week ago. And though the Semiahmoo Peninsula is surrounded by water, its vegetation is no less susceptible than anywhere else. May and June may have been soggy and cool, but in the Lower Mainland it doesn’t take long for the soil, grass, brush and trees to dry out and become veritable matchsticks, ready to burst into flame from an errant spark, a stray ember, a carelessly discarded cigarette, a broken piece of glass that acts as a magnifying glass, or youthful hijinks. Just ask holiday weekend campers who were denied the outdoor pleasure of roasting marshmallows over an open flame by a province-wide campfire ban. Even just sitting around a smouldering fire pit could have netted campers a fine. Some municipalities have closed trails altogether, in order to protect parks. On the Peninsula, a temporary smoking ban has been put in place at a number of outdoor spaces, including Dogwood Park, Sunnyside Acres Urban Forest and Crescent Park. Thankfully, Burnaby firefighters were able to quickly extinguish last week’s Burnaby Mountain fire, but that doesn’t mean similar situations won’t pop up again before the summer is over. When putting out fires, crews have to ensure every last ember or flickering leaf is extinguished, as in these bone-dry conditions, any source of flame could easily reignite the forest. When the weather gets hot and dry, it’s great to be outside in the great outdoors, whether that’s a wooded park, a grassy field, a playground, your lawn or the boulevard in front of your house. But we have to be extra careful to protect those spaces. Don’t throw glass bottles into the grassy ditch. Don’t flick your cigarette butts onto the shoulder of the road or into the dry grass along the trail. Better yet, don’t smoke at all in parks or along trails.

176 responding instill our work with objectivity, we don’t report the news with unfeeling abandon. When deciding how to present such stories with headlines, photos and placement, I often try to put myself in the subjects’ places, wondering how I would have acted in similar circumstances. Would I have come to the same conclusion, had I sat in Judge Peder Gulbransen’s chair? Would I have prosecuted or defended Berner the same way, had I been one of the lawyers? A more unsettling hypothetical question is how I would have handled myself had I been the driver that caused the death of a young child. Even disregarding the impaired-driving elements for which Berner was convicted, how would I have reacted had I been in the car that took a life, regardless of who or what was at fault? Would I accept legal advice and merely communicate that I am “sorrowful” for my involvement, or would I have thrown myself on the mercy of the court and public opinion and attempted – regardless of possible outcomes – to make some sort of reparation. Most of us are fortunate and will never know. The other two main personalities in this case are, of course, the Middelaer parents themselves. The question to be asked, if I were in their shoes, is whether I would commit to the same extraordinary effort they have invested in their campaign against impaired driving since their child’s death. But it’s a question I have yet to ask myself. I won’t let my mind go there. I can’t. Lance Peverley is editor of the Peace Arch News.

Thoroughly enjoyable Editor: I am here on holiday from Scotland staying with family and thoroughly enjoyed the Spirit of the Sea weekend. I attended many of the events which were very entertaining. I felt the stalls were up-market with a great choice which enabled me to buy many gifts to take back home. I’m sure visitors and residents really appreciated the services of the shuttle bus. I understand the festival was short of volunteers and time before the event, but they managed to pull off a great show. Thank you to the organizers and all volunteers for making it a really special weekend. I hope to be able to attend next year’s event! Jessie Darroch, Bearsden, Scotland

Some still live by golden rule Editor: Last month, a Good Samaritan touched my life. I was at Crescent Beach with a girlfriend and her two small children.

We were having an awesome day, but when it came time to leave, my pouch with car keys, house keys, driver’s licence, credit card etc., was nowhere to be found. I remembered I had left it in the washroom, but by then the washroom was closed, as were the gates where my car was parked. Fortunately, my girlfriend was able to call on a friend of hers to request a ride home. As we were waiting for our ride, a police car happened by, checking on some unruly teens in the area. I decided to approach the officer to request that my car not be ticketed under the circumstances. To my surprise and elation,

he handed over the pouch with everything intact. I could not believe it, and when I walked up to my friend with outstretched arm, her jaw dropped. As you can imagine, it would have been a huge nightmare trying to replace what was in that pouch, not to mention re-keying doors to my home, etc. There is no way for me to thank this person, but hopefully they will read the paper and see this – I cannot find the words to express my appreciation and it is so wonderful to see that some people still live by the golden rule, ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.’ L. Murphy, Langley

Demonizing technology and scaring people to believe Bluezone is bad for your health is simply unfair and socially irresponsible.a R. Brost `

It’s a question of timing Editor: Poor timing. I don’t usually write letters to the editor, but thought this past experience needed one. Our family participated in the recent multi-family garage sale in the parking lot of Chantrell Creek Elementary on July 17. The focus of the event was to raise money for a local family who recently suffered a house fire. The event was very successful and the community spirit was excellent. However, mid-morning, two Surrey bylaw officers drove by the large garage sale and began ticketing vehicles that were parked in no-parking zones. It was a summer Saturday, and the event was taking place at an elementary school that is situated off the beaten path. The officers also ticketed a vehicle that was not illegally parked. When approached by various garage sale participants, the officers stated they were just doing their job. After heated discussions, the officers rescinded the tickets but announced we were to be responsible for monitoring the parking situation on both ends of the street. While I understand the officers were just doing their job, I was quite disturbed by the lack of compassion they exhibited during the exchanges, particularly with the family who had endured the fire. I believe if the officers had approached us initially and discussed their concerns in person, the garage sale vendors/purchasers would have responded in a reasonable fashion. It is also interesting that for the past eight years, my wife and I have been involved in the pick-up and drop-off of our children at Chantrell Creek Elementary, and not once have we seen a parking bylaw officer during these times. During the regular school year the parking situation is often terrible

Tourism White Rock’s new Bluezone program gets mixed reviews from letter writers to the Peace Arch News.

We have a monumental health issue on our hands that is only going to get worse as time goes on if nothing is done to reduce our exposure.a Carl Katz

Can’t escape wireless technology Editor: Re: Much ado over Wi-Fi, July 30 letters. Having read the many responses in regards to the Bluezone wireless service accessible in the White Rock beach area, I offer the following thoughts. We live in a world now where our daily lives are imbedded to wireless communication, whether this be voice or data. The information we access regularly is tightly connected to both our personal and, more critically, our professional lives. These are simply the circumstances of living in the “information age.” Whether or not we believe the studies which are suspect to the dangers of RF signals, the reality is they are there. They are ubiquitous in practically all areas where people live or travel. The beach area is no different. Wi-Fi can be found coming from businesses, houses, condos, the banks, the wireless operator base stations and microwave trunk/transmitting towers etc. We simply cannot get away from it. The rub is this: in order to use your wireless device to access the Internet, your options are limited to finding an open network – as most Wi-Fi is “locked” – having a data plan through your service provider. Bluezone provides what I believe is a tourist/visitorfriendly product that can help many either save money on their data plans or find out interesting things about our area on the home page they provide. Not having Bluezone will not stop people using the net on the beach. So, for the pundits of the service, I suspect they are either completely disconnected with the ‘real-time’ world we compete and survive in, or are being submitted by the various wireless service providers to force us to pay for overpriced service plans and Wi-Fi data networks we used prior to Bluezone on the beach. Demonizing technology and scaring people to believe Bluezone is bad for your health is simply unfair and socially irresponsible. Data is here, and it’s here to stay. More free Internet everywhere would be my hope. Data and voice plans in Canada are among the highest priced and confusingly structured contract conditions I’ve seen anywhere in the world – including the Third World! R. Brost, Surrey

Editor: Re: Wi-Fi woes ungrounded, July 30 letters. Letter-writer Marie-Anne Lenko is fundamentally correct in her assertion Wi-Fi concerns should be directed at those who regulate electromagnetic emissions. The unfortunate truth is Health Canada is wilfully ignoring the sea of red flags around this issue. The Safety Code 6 Lenko refers to allows for a one-degree increase in the temperature of our flesh over a six-minute period. It does not deal with the constant 7x24 non-thermal exposures from cellphones, cordless phones, Wi-Fi and cell towers that we deal with in the real world. Regarding the World Health Organization’s stance on exposure to wireless radiation, whistleblower Barry Trower, a retired British military scientist in microwave and stealth warfare, has reviewed the WHO’s database of studies on health effects from electromagnetic radiation and is “bemused” by the fact that 80 percent of its studies show deleterious health effects. Yet for reasons we don’t understand, the WHO continues to give the thumbs up to Wi-Fi, cell towers and cellphones. I am a 12-year senior IT support tech who has installed hundreds of Wi-Fi networks. After experiencing health effects from wireless microwave radiation and also looking at the reams of scientific literature on this issue, I can say beyond a doubt we have a monumental health issue on our hands that is only going to get worse as time goes on if nothing is done to reduce our exposure. Not a week goes by that I don’t meet at least one person whose health has gone south because of exposure to wireless technologies. Poor sleep, ringing in the ears, headaches, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, rashes, many cases of heart arrhythmias – this cluster of symptoms have the majority of our health professionals dumbfounded. Those who are electrohypersensitive are the proverbial “canaries in the coal mine” and as time goes on more and more people will become sensitive. Since we cannot rely on Health Canada and WHO to advise us, it is up to municipalities and schools to do the right thing and exercise the precautionary principle by removing Wi-Fi and other wireless technologies.

Eco-Centre ‘will be coming’ Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Surrey is holding the region to its promise to construct a residential drop-off facility for local recycling. The city will create an “eco-centre” whether Metro Vancouver plans on it or not. For years, Metro Vancouver has promised Surrey a residential drop-off (RDO) centre to be located somewhere in the south end of the city. Following the original agreement, Metro Vancouver staff wanted to make it a larger eco-centre – a one-stop shop for all recyclables which could

Surrey’s eco-centre would process all recyclables on-site. process items on-site. The latest draft of Metro Vancouver’s Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan stated that the region should “establish the first eco-centre in Surrey to replace the commitment for residential drop off facility in 1995.”

Studies show that the rate of recycling is higher when there’s a convenient location for residents. But the idea sparked the ire of Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan at last month’s Metro waste committee meeting. “I can’t see what they (Surrey) did to get such a magnanimous offer,” Corrigan said. “It makes absolutely no sense to anyone but Surrey.” Coun. Linda Hepner said this city is holding Metro to its promise of an RDO, and will turn that facility into an eco-centre whether the region decides to support one or not.

Grant to help vulnerable children Alex Browne Staff Reporter

White Rock will enter into a community-schools program partnership agreement with Surrey School District, aimed at providing resources for “vulnerable” children and families served by White Rock Elementary and Peace Arch Elementary. After much debate, council agreed last week to an annual grant of $35,000 for two years for the program – with an option for renewal – pending a formal agreement with the district Sept. 20. The grant, which would provide for a part-time

program assistant for the two schools, was requested by school board chair Laurae McNally, who cited “the growing number of vulnerable children residing in the City of White Rock.” Coun. Lynne Sinclair, who spoke in support of the program, told Peace Arch News the vulnerabilty of some children at the schools can be traced to lowincome and single-parent issues, along with other family issues. McNally said the partnership would provide “extended learning and enrichment experiences for children who might not otherwise have the opportunity

to broaden their understanding of themselves and the world,” as well as support for parents and caregivers. Sinclair said that without early endorsement of the program, “there won’t be an assistant when they start school in September.” But city manager Peggy Clark noted it would be difficult to enter into negotiations with the district in August. Mayor Catherine Ferguson voted against the grant, balking – as a matter of principle – at endorsing a grant without more information from the board.

news Loved ones share memories of ‘fearless’ seven-year-old

Bella celebrated at service Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

Through the countless tears shed at Isabella Carreiro’s memorial service Wednesday, there was also the distinct ring of laughter, as friends and family remembered a “spirited, fearless” little girl who had a sense of sarcasm beyond her seven years. Grandfather Cesar Osores told the full chapel at Emmanuel Evangelical Covenant Church how the “magnificent little person” who became known as Bella didn’t let her physical limitations get in the way of being a kid – or becoming the most popular girl in school. “I can still see her in the school playground in her wheelchair, surrounded by her classmates,” he said. Bella’s battle with mitochondrial disease limited her from performing everyday functions, such as walking, and – near the end of her life – talking and eating. She passed away July 28 while sleeping in her bed at home. Osores said Bella overcame adversity with wisdom, and her “soft voice was like that of an angel.” “For seven years, we have been in the presence of something bigger than all of us combined,” Osores said, noting Bella was a daughter, granddaughter, big and little sister, cousin, flower girl, teacher and friend. “(We’re) comforted knowing she is walking with God. We know we will see her again.” Bella’s Grade 2 teacher, Nancy

Family and friends gathered Wednesday to remember Bella Carreiro. Right, Bella’s mother, Sarita Osores, hugs a guest. Peterson, said Bella was proud to have 10-year-old Salina as a sister, and would talk about her outings with mom Sarita Osores for days afterwards. Peterson said Bella spoke lovingly of stepmother Jamie Fedje, and was “Daddy’s little princess” to father John Carreiro. Peterson said Bella taught her to never complain – because the youngster never did – and to persevere, have a positive attitude and be her own person. “I’ve personally learned more from Bella than I could’ve ever taught her,” she said. “Bella, you will be missed. You have touched all of our hearts and for that we are truly grateful.” Among the attendants of the

Aug. 4 service was one of Bella’s furry friends, Poppy. The golden retriever was introduced as a therapeutic companion who Bella played with while visiting Canuck Place Children’s Hospice. Representatives from the society explained how Poppy would lie in Bella’s lap and the two would play tug-of-war – a sight they said was a privilege to witness. Donations can be made in Bella’s name to Canuck Place and BC Children’s Hospital.

Pipe leak leads to pool evacuation Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

Emergency crews were called to South Surrey Indoor Pool Monday afternoon after a cloudy airborne substance leaked from a mechanical unit onto the deck area. Lifeguards on duty evacuated the pool, at 14655 17 Ave., around 2 p.m. Aug. 2 and called 911. Hazmat investigated the area, and the facility’s staff and engineer contractor examined the mechanical problem. It was determined there was

a refrigeration leak caused by a cracked copper piping in a mechanical unit that supplies the air and provides dehumidification to the pool, according to Surrey community and leisure services manager Lisa White. “For unknown reasons, the discharge line of one of the compressors was cracked and caused a release of refrigeration vapour that went into the air and into the pool area,” she said. There were few swimmers in attendance at the time, White

added, and the released gas was environmentally safe. She said one of the lifeguards close to the mechanical system was taken to hospital for medical assessment as a precaution. “We’re happy to say staff were OK and they returned back to work. The pool was opened for everyone at 7 p.m.” White said workers are in the process of fixing the system and determining why it malfunctioned, to ensure it doesn’t occur again.

Diversity, challenges keep veterinarian’s work interesting from page 11 hen Wood leaves the office at the end of the day, he comes home to his own animals – one dog, two cats, three horses, three aquariums full of fish and his daughter’s exotic chickens. A passion for animals and desire to become a vet has always been apparent in the married father-of-two, leading to his completion of a marine biology degree and subsequent work in aquaculture, before attending the Atlantic Vet College in P.E.I. While there are now five veterinary schools in the country – compared to the four when Wood graduated in 1993 – he estimates there are fewer than 350 students graduating from them each year. The need for professionals in the field is mostly felt in rural areas, he said, where veterinarians tend to be on call – unlike locally, where after-hours emergencies are referred to the 24-hour Animal Emergency Clinic of the Fraser Valley. The prospect of working in small, isolated communities may be unappealing to some, but for Wood, the most memorable experience in his 17-year career came while working in Northern Alberta. He remembers having to sedate and suture the wounds of captive elk that suffered lacerations to their legs after being

After flipping through charts on his clipboard, he chooses to err on the side of caution. “It would be good to have her on fluids for a day or two to flush out her kidneys,” he says, before phoning the owner to reschedule. Meanwhile, Tanya pulls Kylie out of her cage and puts her on a prep table.

Wood opens Kylie’s mouth and examines her teeth, listens to her heartbeat and moves his hands over her neck, torso and legs. She is then ready for an induction agent, which is given through IV. Kylie begins to wobble, and, within moments, is pulled into a deep, tranquil sleep. Tanya inserts an endotracheal tube down Kylie’s throat and hooks her up to a gas anesthetic, before shaving and scrubbing the dog’s stomach area. Wood cleans his own hands, and puts on his gloves and paleblue scrubs and surgical mask. With Kylie lying under the bright lights of the OR and pop music playing from a nearby radio, Wood makes fluent, practiced movements with an assortment of surgical tools, while Tanya carefully monitors the heart-rate machine. Although the routine is quick and simple – it’s less

than 30 minutes before Wood is stitching up the small incision in Kylie’s abdomen – he doesn’t discount its importance, noting it decreases incidents of cancer in the mammary gland by 95 per cent. Tanya turns off the gas anesthetic and gives it just five minutes before Kylie wakes up. Sure enough, moments later, Kylie’s long, fleshy tongue begins to lick around the endotracheal tube, which Tanya removes. Kylie will stay another few hours in a cage and receive fluids, while her owners are phoned and updated on her condition. While she waits to be taken home, Simba’s once wide, watchful eyes begin to droop as the sedative he was given takes effect. It’s almost his turn.

Surrey SPCA at capacity for cats and kittens The BC SPCA’s Surrey branch is just one of 10 shelters that has been forced to turn away and create waiting lists for guardians surrendering cats and kittens. “We are absolutely chockablock full,” Surrey branch manager Valerie Sigler said. “We have over 100 kittens right now.” While Sigler said the branch would never turn away a guardian in a real bind, staff are having to explore other housing alternatives – such as rehoming privately – before taking in additional cats and kittens. “We are full, full, full to capacity,” she said, noting guardians are also being put on a waiting list until space becomes available. Surrey isn’t the only SPCA location faced with the problem. Shelters in Vancouver, Burnaby, Chilliwack, Maple Ridge, Dawson Creek, Kamloops, Prince Rupert, Williams Lake and Quesnel

are also struggling to handle the number of cats and kittens that are coming in. “We’re doing our best but we’re absolutely over capacity right now,” Ryan Voutilainen, manager of the BC SCPA’s Vancouver branch, said in a release. “The welfare of the cats and kittens we already have in our care is our first priority, so unfortunately at this time,

we can’t accommodate cats who are being surrendered by their guardians.” The non-profit society currently has 3,100 cats in shelters and foster homes. “Now is the height of kitten season, which is our busiest time of year,” Mark Takhar, BC SPCA assistant general manager of operations, said in a statement.

“We’re asking people to be patient until space becomes available.” Takhar said most are understanding when told that many shelters are not accepting surrendered cats. “They know they are ultimately responsible for their animal and in most situations could have done something to prevent having to give it up – for example, spaying and neutering would have prevented an unwanted litter.” Takhar said it’s a good opportunity for animal lovers to adopt a cat or kitten. “We have cats and kittens of every colour, size, age, breed and personality.” SPCA adoption fees vary by region, but all include spay/neuter and vaccinations. Visit spca.bc.ca to check out cats and kittens needing homes. – Hannah Sutherland

Hospital support Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation has experienced a wave of support from local organizations. Moby Dick Seafood Restaurant on Marine Drive, which donates five per cent of one month’s revenue to the foundation, raised a record $1,793 this year. “It’s great to see the smiling faces of Ralph and Monica Oswald – owners of Moby Dick – as they announced the amount from this year’s campaign,” foundation board chair Jane Manning said in a release. “Local business owners like the Oswalds take pride in giving back to their hospital and make a direct and lasting impact on the health and wellness of our community.” The fundraiser will return to the restaurant in March 2011. Canadian Tire in South Point has secured close to $5,000 for the foundation.

Over the past several months, the store has set up a donation box for customers to donate Canadian Tire money. The location also held a holiday campaign in December, when it sold more than 2,500 gift bags, with proceeds benefitting the foundation. “We are grateful for managers like Dan Higgins of Canadian Tire, who partner with our foundation to raise funds for the health and wellness of our community,” Manning said. The foundation also received a $21,000-gift from the Delta Controls and ESC Automation 2010 Charity Golf Tournament, held July 8 at Hazelmere Golf Club. The annual fundraising event has raised more than $110,000 for the foundation since 2001. For information, or to donate, call 604535-4520 or visit www. peacearchhospital.com

Allan Corbeil sits amid a section of the Lego display at the Surrey Museum.

MEET ME AT MORGAN CROSSING!

llan Corbeil’s Lego obsession began innocently enough. Like many of us, he’d played with the popular building blocks as a kid. But years later, he found himself admiring a collection acquired by a friend, so he decided to haul his set out of the closet and started snapping bricks together again. “And it just sort of ballooned from there,” says Corbeil, who joined the Vancouver Lego Club in 2006. “Once you get around people in the club, and see how much Lego they have, you just want to get more and more,” Corbeil says. “It’s almost an addiction.” The active members from the North Shore, Langley, Surrey, Delta, Abbotsford and Chilliwack meet monthly to talk about Lego, discuss their latest projects, and build stuff – throwing pieces together to see who comes up with the best ideas. This is no mere hobby club – members spur each other to new heights of creativity, and there’s a healthy sense of competition: for kicks, they see who can build a set the fastest while blindfolded. The members’ backgrounds include graphic design, engineering, art, sales and even theatre. Every few years, the club collaborates on a Lego exhibit at the Surrey Museum in Cloverdale, site of the club’s latest adventure – Pirates! Blocks ’n’ Buccaneers, on view until Aug. 28. It’s bound to have Lego fans drooling in envy. A modern navy ship does battle with marauding Somali pirates in one layout. An armada of pirate ships are on the attack in a harbourside battle among lighthouses, waterfalls and islands. Beneath lies a coral-laden underwater scene with a shipwreck, revolving whirlpool, and a castle. Considering thousands of blocks from individual collections come together in one exhibit, it’s

surprisingly easy for club members to keep track of which pieces belong to whom. “We assign certain tasks to people,” Corbeil says. “So, one guy does all the landscaping. If he’s having trouble getting it done, we’ll go over to his house, use his pieces, and all work together to build the landscape.” Layout components are pre-built. Members and museum staff plan the exhibit, then divide tasks. “From there, it’s hours and hours and hours at home,” Corbeil says. A great deal of assembly must be completed inside the exhibit space, too. They’re paid for the effort – and the money is split up to buy more Lego for the club. When the exhibit ends, the layouts and displays will be disassembled and taken home, and the pieces taken apart again. But not always. “Some of us get attached to what we build. I know I do,” says Corbeil. “Other guys will, right after the show, disassemble it and start taking it apart and build something else.” For more information, call 604-592-6956 or visit www.heritage.surrey.ca

COMMUNITY CHARTER, S.B.C. 2003, CHAPTER 26 NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DISPOSE OF CITY PROPERTY SECTIONS 26 AND 94 Biz Books owner Catherine Lough Haggquist is closing her store on West Cordova Street in Vancouver. Doug Shanks photo

Book biz to continue online from White Rock

New start from Gastown Jessica Barrett Black Press

Catherine Lough Haggquist takes a long, wistful look out the front door of her Cordova Street bookstore and inhales slowly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a beautiful place with beautiful shops and great people,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but the biggest change, I think, is the perception of the area from the public. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been just so much upheaval here that I think people have given up on coming down here unless they specifically have to.â&#x20AC;? In her 14 years running Biz Books, an independent Vancouver bookstore that caters to the film and theatre set, Haggquist has witnessed Gastownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evolution from a rough-around-the-edges home for eclectic shops, theatre schools, and hole-in-the-wall cafes, to an emerging boutique

fashion and restaurant district. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that she begrudges Gastown its impending renaissance, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that her store wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a part of it. On Aug. 15, Biz Books will shutter its Cordova Street location in favour of an â&#x20AC;&#x153;online and on-locationâ&#x20AC;? business model Haggquist plans to run out of a non-retail warehouse space in White Rock. While acknowledging booksellers have unique challenges in the current economy and in the internet age, Haggquist said her decision came down to the changing face of Gastown, which, she says, is becoming increasingly inhospitable to independent businesses. Biz Books isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only casualty of gentrification, but merely part of a larger exodus of small businesses.

In the past two months, more than half a dozen businesses have left, or are planning to leave the area. Haggquist attributes the phenomenon to a perfect storm of pressures. Residential developments, like the ultrahip but reportedly sparsely populated Woodwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building, havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t delivered the promised uptick in walk-by business, she says, nor did the Olympics. In fact, she believes the stayclear mentality occasioned by the Gamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; traffic upheavals drove employers from Gastown, leaving office space empty and fewer people to frequent area shops and restaurants. While Gastown has proved fruitful for destination businesses, like higher-end clothing or furniture boutiques, Haggquist believes the

Positive forecast, negative effect from page 16 neighbourhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot traffic has decreased. In addition, rents in the area are going up, Haggquist says rising rates played only a minor role in her decision to leave, but rental increases are causing other businesses to flee. Gone are the theatre schools, Lyric and School Creative, which helped to feed Haggquistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shop. Arsenal Pulp Press, a book publisher, is preparing to head for cheaper digs in Chinatown. Retro clothing retailer Woo Vintage has moved to Main Street, while art and clothing boutique Mooncruise Gallery closed entirely. Even interior design stores, part of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new design-chic draw, have left, citing the same kind of pressures Haggquist describes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get forced out,â&#x20AC;? says Dana Coburn of Metropolitan Home, which had operated in and around Gastown for more than 25 years. Coburn relocated to Kitsilanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing furniture and design strip on West Second and Fir six weeks ago, after her Gastown landlord sought $40 per square foot for her 1,895-sq.-ft. store. That would have meant an annual rate of more than $75,000 for her former location on West Hastings Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My business partner and I were like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dream on!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? she says, noting her old space has yet to be tenanted, despite the landlord dropping his asking price three times. Coburn declined to reveal the rate she was paying in her former location, but estimates a reasonable rate for the space is between $15 and $20 per square foot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because of the gentrification of Woodwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s,â&#x20AC;? she says of the steep increases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of a sudden, all the landlords were like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, things are going to happen to this neighbourhood,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still really on the edge, you know?â&#x20AC;? Indeed, a glance around Gastown shows many â&#x20AC;&#x153;For Leaseâ&#x20AC;? signs, suggesting some landlords may have jumped the gun on increasing their rates. Coburn points out that whereas residential rental properties have a cap on annual

Rental increases on Cordova Street are causing many businesses like Biz Books to flee the area. rental increases, there are no limits on rental increases for commercial spaces when their leases come up for renewal, usually every few years. This has landlords in Gastown proposing rates based on the forecasts of rapidly increasing property values, in some cases asking for increases of up to 200 to 300 per cent, says Coburn. Without increased sales, few independent businesses can afford those kinds of prices. The current situation worries one area restaurateur whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staked his future on the neighbourhood flourishing with a variety of small businesses. Mark Brand rents seven properties in Gastown and the Downtown Eastside, including popular eateries Boneta, The Diamond, and Sea Monster Sushi. His newest acquisition is

the old Save-On Meats space, which he plans to turn into a market. With rental rates nearing $40 a square foot, independent businesses in Gastown are sure to fail, he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suicide. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand how you could do that in this neighbourhood just yet, the density is not there.â&#x20AC;? Brand adds that while Gastownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revamp has plenty of people walking through it, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re mostly gawking, not buying. The more empty retail spaces linger, he says, the more vulnerable Gastown is to an onslaught of character-assassinating chain stores that can afford to take the financial hit until the neighbourhood matures. Brand fears that would ruin the eclectic vibe on which his businesses capitalize. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is why I try to grab up as much

as I can as fast as I can, especially the key locations,â&#x20AC;? he says. He adds that he negotiates ferociously for reasonable rents, suggesting other independent businesses do the same in a bid to preserve Gastownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have to stick to their guns,â&#x20AC;? he asserts. But Gastownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sad story only goes so far says Jennifer Friesen, sales manager of the flagship boutique of local fashion house Obakki and marketing director of the Gastown Business Improvement Association. Friesen asserts thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an undeniable population of thriving retailers, designers, and architecture firms in Gastown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our sales in Gastown have never been better,â&#x20AC;? she says, adding the area is home to many local fashion retailers and design houses that have found unprecedented success in their current locations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening in Gastown is incredible,â&#x20AC;? she continues, pointing to the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;hoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hopping night life and burgeoning reputation as Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place to be for the young and hip. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a time to celebrate what Gastown is becoming,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now is the time to hang on tight and enjoy the ride.â&#x20AC;?

Peninsula shoppers who added blueberries to their carts at Choices Markets in late March may have been doing more than simply purchasing fruit – they could have been supporting earthquake-stricken communities in Chile. That’s because the store, at 3248 King George Blvd., joined seven other Choices locations in donating proceeds from the sale of 5,000 one-pint clamshell blueberries back to the Chilean farmers who grew them. Green Tribe Organic – a group of seven fair-trade blueberry producers with farms in central Chile – had produced the batch of berries for shipment to Canada. “Through (distributor Discovery Organics), with our produce director, we were able to obtain every single blueberry out of that region,” local Choices manager Steve Lockhart said. “We took it all.” In the last two weeks of March, Choices locations sold the berries at a marked-up price to consumers, raising $20,000. Green Tribe’s Alberto GarciaHuidobro sent Choices an email last month, describing how the funds are being used to support victims of the 8.8-magnitude quake that devastated Chile Feb. 27, displacing more than one million people and killing hundreds. Garcia-Huidobro described how a central workstation has been formed at main farm Entrerios, where they are building simple, one-room wooden houses with tin roofs called media aguas. While the Chilean government has supplied most homeless earthquake victims with one of

the structures, he said Green Tribe is building more solid, long-lasting versions that are 18 square metres, have two rooms and are made from better-quality materials. Each house costs around US$2,000 to construct, and takes a fiveperson team two days to build. “We have contracted our own workers to make up these teams and they have worked tirelessly to build six high-quality media aguas and three permanent homes for families in the Linares region who were in desperate need,” he said. “We are very proud of their efforts.” When government-supplied

media aguas began leaking in winter, Garcia-Huidobro said six Green Tribe workers visited around 30 homes in remote areas of Chanco, providing them with strong plastic to seal their thin walls from the wind and rain. “Many of these families had no one to turn to and all were very grateful for our assistance.” The local funding has also allowed a Green Tribe team to use four-wheel-drive vehicles to access difficult-to-reach areas and distribute non-perishable foods such as pasta, oil, beans and sugar. “We delivered US$5,000 worth of food to communities that were unable to obtain food at this critical time,” GarciaHuidobro said. “I speak on behalf of all the families that (Choices has) helped when I say that we are eternally grateful.”

John Charlton reflects on artistic journey

Mature vision Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

e’s may not be exactly ‘Grand-dad’ Moses yet – but at 91, White Rock’s John Charlton reckons he’s one of the oldest active painters in Canada. “There must be some others,” said the southpaw artist, whose urban landscape of Russell Avenue, with the towers of Miramar Village in the background, recently won him a place in the adjudicated Arts 2010 show at the Surrey Art Gallery. “But I don’t know of any.” But even though his hand is not as steady as it used to be, requiring the use of a maulstick, and he must now wear ❝It’s taken prescription me all these lenses to convert years to learn his doubleto be myself.❞ vision into a single focused view, Charlton is still busy at his easel, painting away at scenes of urban and commercial life from his own reference phortos. He’s been a resident of White Rock for 15 years now, he said. “My son, Robert – he’s a lawyer, now retired, persuaded my wife and I to move out here,” he said. One of the great luxuries of his advanced years, admitted Charlton – whose work has also been featured in a show at the White Rock Community Art Council Gallery – is that he can paint exactly what he wants exactly the way he wants to, unconcerned with notions of commerciality or chasing sales. And that way usually manifests itself as palette knife paintings on board that offer an intriguing blend of Grandma Moses-style primitivism with a sense of perspective drawing she never evinced and colour values that are wholly original. “I’ve always liked bright colours,” he said – and that can translate into red buildings and vibrant, almost electric, skies made up of small daubs of pigment. “That’s my specialty – I love doing skies and I love doing water

When I first did it, I thought ‘nobody’s going to like this painting’ – but I did it because that’s what I wanted to do.” “For a long time, I painted in very stolid colours, but when I found they didn’t sell, I said ‘the hell with it – I’ll paint what I want to paint.’ A lot of my paintings sold in Toronto, but the ones I’m doing now are a lot better. It’s taken me all these years to learn to

be myself.” Ontario-born Charlton, who graduated from the University of Toronto with a degree in chemistry in 1942, spent most of his a working life as an industrial chemist, first for the Aluminum Company of Canada (Alcan) and later for his own adhesives company. “I gave that company up to my number two son, Thomas, and he’s running it now,” he said.

But Charlton had always been a frustrated artist, he noted. “I always wanted to be a painter when I was a boy,” he said. “I’d always lock myself in my room when I was supposed to be studying – I wanted to draw instead. But, in the 1930s, saying you wanted to be an artist meant you wanted to starve.” Even so, he started studying and painting in 1945 through classes offered by the Scarborough Arts Council. “That’s when I started in earnest,” he said, “although I didn’t start painting full-time until I retired about 25 years ago. “I don’t have any paintings from the early days – they were all terrible and I threw them all away.” Nevertheless, his late wife, June – an occupational therapist he met at college – encouraged him to paint, he said. A portrait of her on one wall of his apartment – and another of the two of them that hangs near the easel – are tender tributes to the life they shared for 64 years before she passed away two years ago. They also show that Charlton could be a talented portraitist. But although he refers to himself as

the “Peter Breughel of Canada” for his fondness for populating his paintings with people, most of his work consists of meticulous rendering of urban scenes. Another consistent element of his painting – apart from a love of the palette knife and a general disdain for brushes – is his choice of wood, usually a thin veneer rather than boards, as a preferred painting surface. “Wood is sturdier and more dependable than canvas – all the old masters like Michelangelo and Da Vinci painted on wood.” Without any particular pressure to sell his paintings, Charlton said he feels free to create whatever he wants, and the only one he has to please is himself – although his best and most supportive audience is his Robert, Thomas and third son Phillip, who promotes his work in Ontario. When he was honoured by the American Chemical Society in New York for his 60th year as a member he concluded his remarks with a quotation from the American humourist Will Rogers. “I want you to understand why I look like I do,” he quoted. “I’ve travelled a long road – and part of it wasn’t paved.”

Brothers to jazz up Peninsula Arts Reporter

at student festivals. We reconnected with him at the Manhattan School of Music and rekindled our musical relationship over the last few years.” One other frequent collaborator and fellow Manhattan School student, tenor saxist Mike Ruby, won’t be making the trip west with them during this August’s tour – which starts with dates in Fresno, Santa Cruz and Lake Tahoe, before swooping up through Oregon, on to B.C. and Alberta, then eastward to Toronto. “Mike’s finishing up his degree at the school and he’ll be joining us in Toronto, which is where he’s from originally,” Le Boeuf an all new musical production

said. “We still play with him a lot and he’ll be on our new album which we plan to record in September.” All are representative of the new generation of talents on the New York scene – which is still a vital force in jazz, Le Boeuf said. “It’s not the only place the music is happening, but there is a very large peer-group of jazz musicians there, which helps to develop things, when there are so many people sharing the same interest.” And like many musicians, they have a multitude of influences which not only come out in their jazz work but lead them to a variety of side projects.

Identical twin brothers and musicians Remy and Pascal Le Boeuf perform at Belle’s Aug. 8.

WWW.LADNERBUSINESS.COM

Being identical twins may give the LeBoeuf Brothers an edge when creating music on stage. But New York-based musicians Remy and Pascal Le Boeuf – annual visitors to the Peninsula who return to Belle’s (14007 32 Ave.) Tuesday, Aug. 10, from 8 to 10 p.m., presented by Phil Davey’s Q Sound – don’t claim any mystical connection. “When you grow up with somebody, experiencing all the same things, you tend to react in a similar way,” said alto saxophonist Remy Le Boeuf of his musical relationship with his keyboardist brother. “We’re very good at predicting each others’ reactions because we know each other so well,” he added, calling from New York to promote the gig. “That’s very good when you’re molding musical ideas together.” But there’s a similar connection with bandmates Michael W. Davis (drums) and Martin Nevin (bass), both – like the brothers – transplanted Californians, with whom they have worked for years in New York jazz circles. “We’ve known Michael since we were around 15 and he was around 13 – he grew up in the San Jose area and we’d encountered each other

For example, he said, Pascal is also fascinated with composing electronic music and, now, like himself a graduate of the Manhattan School, will be making a sojourn at the Berklee School of Music in Boston to study more about musical synthesis. His electric side is also manifest in his side project with singersongwriter Emily Green, Kissy Girls, which “should be very interesting,” Le Boeuf said. His own pet project is a recording that will be influenced by classical music and the world of the tango, he said. “I’m a huge Strasvinsky nut – I love his music and I’ve studied his life, and the music I’m writing for the album is more in that tradition,” he said. All of these influences may be in evidence in the sets at Belle’s, which while they may include some standards are likely to concentrate on originals by the brothers. And some of the material may push common perceptions of jazz, Le Boeuf said. “People kind of have a strict definition of jazz,” he agreed. “Our music definitely comes out of the jazz tradition – but it draws on a lot of other traditions too. And all of that comes out in our jazz stuff.” For information, call 604-617-8453 or 604542-7037.

Midget team looking to repeat as Canadian champs; bantam squad ousted in semifinals

Renegades ‘91 still in hunt at nationals Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

White Rock Renegades ‘91 pitcher Nicole Sidor strides towards the plate during a game Monday in New Brunswick.

ven after a loss Wednesday night in New Brunswick, a second-straight national fastpitch title was still in the cards for the White Rock Renegades ’91. However, for their sister team on the other coast – the Renegades ’94 – the national championship dream ended with a tough loss in semifinals. The 1991-born club, playing in St. John, NB., had been the class of the tournament in the first four days of roundrobin play, with a sparkling 4-0 record – and even more impressive, zero runs-against – until they were edged Wednesday, losing 4-3 in eight innings to the Mississauga North Tigers. Later in the day, White Rock improved to 5-1 with a 2-1 victory over Quebec Rebelles ’91. The Renegades had to win its last round-robin game Thursday evening, after press deadline, against the host St. John Selects, in order to finish high enough to secure double-life (the ability to lose once) for the playoff rounds, which begin today (Friday). “It’s pretty tough. It’s a long tournament, and the games really tighten up as it goes along – you start seeing the other teams top pitchers every time,” said Renegades ’91 coach Chuck Westgard. “But the girls have been here before, so they know what to expect, know what

they have to do… you really need that double-life – nobody wants to have to go through the loser’s bracket.” Nicole Sidor has been White Rock’s go-to pitcher for much of the tournament, and Westgard said that trend would likely continue into the weekend. “If we make it to doublelife, Nicole will go all three games for us, as long as we keep winning,” he said. The other Renegades team in New Brunswick, the ’92-born team, went 4-2 in round robin play, winning games against Regina Gold ’91, Quebec Midget Elite, PEI and New Brunswick. The tournament continues until the championship game Sunday. Meanwhile, Wednesday was a tough day for other Renegades club, the ’94s, who are in Victoria this week. The ’94s advanced all the way to the semifinals of bantam nationals, but lost 4-2 to the Ajax Raiders Wednesday afternoon. The loss was the team’s second of the playoff rounds, having also fell 5-3 to the Guelph Electri-Tech Gators Tuesday night. In Wednesday’s elimination game against Ajax, White Rock trailed 4-0 after threeand-a-half innings – the Raiders scored four in the top of the third – but battled back to score twice in the bottom of the inning, after a Tanelle Westgard RBI triple. Westgard scored one batter later. see page 27

Peninsula football team looks for first win of season Saturday in Victoria

Rams’ struggles continue in road loss in Okanagan Rick Kupchuk Black Press

For the second week in the row, playing on the road hasn’t been good to the Surrey Big Kahuna Rams. The Canadian Junior Football League team was in Kelowna Saturday evening, where they were handed a 30-3 setback by the Okanagan Sun. The Rams, now at 0-2 (won-lost), are in the basement of the B.C. Football Conference. Kelowna is tied for first place at 2-0, alongside the Victoria Rebels and the defending national champion Vancouver Island Raiders of Nanaimo. Surrey managed just 94 yards of net offence in the opening half, while the Sun racked up

213 and took a 23-0 lead at the break. Okanagan scored the only points they would need on the first play from scrimmage, when Jesse Warawa intercepted a pass and raced 30 yards into the Rams end zone. The Sun doubled their advantage to 14-0 before the first quarter was out, then snuffed out the Surrey squad’s best effort to get back into the game in the second period. Warawa picked off his second pass of the game at the Okanagan one-yard line, On the next play, Sun running back Tore Tarcon broke through the Ram defence for a 109-yard touchdown run and a 21-0 lead. The Sun completed their scoring with a safety just before half time, and a second major score from Tarcon in the fourth

quarter. Big Kahuna’s only score of the game was a 33-yard field goal from Nick Boyd in the third quarter. “Honestly, we didn’t know what was going to happen today with this group,” said Rams head coach Chris Butschler. “There are so many new players, most are still getting to know each other’s names. This group will get better over the next couple of weeks and will be a really good team in the last few.” Aside from the long run by Tarcon, the statistical performance of the two teams was almost even. The Sun had 353 yards of net offence, compared to 241 by Surrey. Tarcon was the

top rusher for the home side with 123 yards on seven carries, all but 14 yards on the one long dash for a touchdown. The Rams moved the ball with their passing game, with Griffin Bullock hauling in six receptions for 124 yards and Brian McLean catching five balls for 33. The big difference in the game was field position and turnovers. The Sun fumbled the ball away five times, as did the Big Kahuna team. But a pair of interceptions and a turnover-on-downs tilted the game in favour of Okanagan. The Rams play their fourth consecutive road game – including preseason play – next Saturday in Victoria, kicking off against the Rebels at 4 p.m.

Boden back in court Josh Boden of Surrey was back in Vancouver Provincial Court Tuesday to answer a charge of assaulting a woman in Burnaby. Boden will remain in custody until his next court appearance, which was set for August 27. He was arrested and charged on July 24, just days after the Crown prosecutor’s office dropped an earlier charge of breaking and entering against Boden, a 24-year-old once considered a top professional football prospect. The incident that produced the break-in charge occurred in Burnaby at the home of Boden’s girlfriend in early July.

After an impressive July that saw him win three consecutive tournaments – including the B.C. Amateur title – Adam Svensson is back on the golf course this week, looking for his fourth win in a row. Svensson, a 16-yearold Earl Marriott student who golfs out of Delta’s Kings Links by the Sea, teed off Tuesday at the Canadian Junior Golf Championships, which are being held at the Richmond Country Club. Svensson has stiff competiton in Richmond, however, – two-time defending junior champion Mitch Sutton, an Ontario native, is in the field. Next week, Svensson will head to London, Ont. for the Canadian Amateur Championships, which begin Aug. 10.

Second place One of the Peninsula’s most accomplished athletes, wheelchair tennis star Sarah Hunter, finished second in the quad-doubles

Football League. In 2005 with the Rams (now the Big Kahuna Rams), Boden finished as the B.C. Football Conference’s rookie of the year, MVP, and best special teams player. In 2007, Boden made the Lions as a backup receiver but was released the following year.

helly Hayes is a fit woman with blonde hair and a bright, cheery smile. A frame with neatly arranged medals is proudly displayed in her arms, and the shirt she is wearing is adorned with a team member’s artwork. “She used to paint something for the captains each year,” she explains. “This particular one was transferred to the shirts – our team shirts that we wear to the regattas.” Hayes is a founding member of the Chilliwack Water Warriors, the area’s first all-women Dragon boat racing team. In its 10 years of competition, the team has seen more than 90 women come and go, and has won seven medals and countless ribbons on the water. For Hayes, the Water Warriors have been more than just an athletic outlet – her involvement with the team has helped her overcome the heartbreaking loss of her husband, Rick, who passed away nine years ago. “We are together for more than just winning medals,” she says of her Warriors teammates. “Don’t get me wrong, we do love winning bling, but we’re there for one another. It’s very empowering.” Hayes’ love for the outdoors flourished in her childhood,

the family, Hayes found herself often guiding and teaching her younger siblings, and that nurturing disposition led her to

become a teacher. She met Rick and quickly fell in love with his sweet nature, and the two were married within a few years. They moved out of White Rock to Langley, then Abbotsford, eventually settling in Chilliwack in 1993. Combining Hayes’ passion for teaching with her husband’s newfound love of kayaking, the couple launched their own business, Purple Hayes School of Kayaking. The two enjoyed several years of running a successful business, while Hayes also taught preschool in the community. Despite living active lives, however, Rick’s diabetes – which he’d suffered from since the age of three – eventually caught up with him. “He ended up dying from a heart incident,” Hayes said. “He’s been gone for nine years now.” With the support of her dragonboating teammates, Hayes pulled through the pain of losing her husband. Now with a decade of racing under their belts, the Chilliwack Water Warriors are getting ready to celebrate – a 10-year anniversary party for past and present teams planned for later this month at Cultus Lake, something Hayes is highly anticipation. “Over the years, we’ve had 90 women on our team,” she said. “It will be a great celebration.”

sports Shankland impresses at prestigious U.S. events

Two weeks, two wins for local track cyclist Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Peninsula cyclist Jamie Shankland has had an impressive few weeks on the track lately, winning a pair of prestigious American time trials on consecutive weekends. First, Shankland – who has been racing with the national program for two years – captured top spot at the July 16 kilo (one kilometre) event at the Alpenrose Grand Prix in Portland, Ore., and then he won the same event at the SSA Grand Prix last weekend in Seattle. “It feels pretty good, because they’re

two of the biggest track races in the U.S.,” he said. “(The kilo) is kind of what I specialize in. “It’s a good indicator for me about where my fitness is at, and where I need to be (going forward).” Earlier this year, Shankland also competed at the Southern Games – a multi-sport event in Trinidad and Tobago. His best finish there was fourth place, but he said he went more for the experience than the competition. “It was good, a lot of fun – kind of a big party.”

Finals on Sunday from page 23 Trailing by a pair, the Renegades had a chance to tie the game in the bottom of the seventh; the team had runners on second and third with two outs, but Ajax pitcher Rachel Young left the White Rock runners stranded after inducing a groundout and striking out the final batter. The bantam ’Gades opened with a 3-2 win over Ajax, and followed with a victory over Winnipeg Lightning. In their third game, they lost 5-0 to the host Victoria Devils, but quickly rebounded with wins over the Quebec Rebelles ’95 and Calgary Rockies. In the team’s first playoff game – one game before the loss to Guelph – the ’94s scored a 7-0 win over the Saskatoon Raiders, with pitcher Brooke Anderson, who struck out nine, picking up the win for White Rock. In round-robin play of the midget tournament, Renegades ’91 opened with a 6-0 win over Regina Gold ’91, led by Sidor, who struck out 11

batters and allowed just one hit in seven innings of work. Catcher Jackie Rothenberger led the offence, going 2-for-4 with four RBI. Sidor was equally impressive in the pitcher’s circle Monday, allowing just two hits in five innings, in the Renegades’ 9-0 win over the Edmonton Warriors, who made five errors in the tilt. Later Monday, White Rock held Saskatchewan’s Midget Selects at bay, winning 2-0, and Tuesday scored their biggest win, a 15-0 thumping of Nova Scotia’s Inglis Jewellers Diamond Gators. Marina Groenewegen went 3-for-3 with four RBI, while Larissa Franklin also had three runs-batted-in. Pitcher Kelsey Andison picked up the win for White Rock, striking out six. The White Rock Renegades senior A team is slated to begin nationals Aug. 11 in Kitchener, Ont., while the Renegades ’96 will also begin peewee nationals in Montreal the same day.

Built Green BC ﬁnalists announced ›› Green is good

August 5, 2010

Green building to be honoured Going green is a constant concept in today’s eco-friendly world. And to honour local builders who are focusing on building greener, more sustainable homes and communities, Built Green BC has announced the finalists for the first-ever Built Green BC awards. In six sustainable building categories, 24 finalists were recently announced, representing a blend of houses and condominiums across Bob Deeks British Columbia. The finalists include several local developers who have built homes and projects throughout Metro Vancouver, including Adera Devel-

for Built Green BC within the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of B.C.’s Georgie Awards. Because the Built Green program – an industry-driven initiative – has grown so much, and to recognize the leadership of its builders, CHBA B.C. has launched a stand-alone Built Green BC awards program. “Since its introduction in B.C., the Built Green BC program has flourished,” says Bob Deeks, CHBA B.C. president and a Built Green Canada board member. “Today there are 2,800 registered homes in B.C. which combined, save about 7,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases annually – this is the equivalent of removing 2,100 cars from B.C. roads each year.” Winners of the Built Green BC awards will be announced at a gala dinner ceremony Sept. 17 in Vancouver. Visit www.chbabc.org for a full list of finalists.

BUILDING GREEN Adera Development Corporation and Trillium Project Management are among the finalists for the first Built Green BC awards.

opment Corporation, Bucci Developments, Odenza Homes and Trillium Project Management (all of whom are also Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association of B.C. members). “I was not only impressed by the quality

of the finalist projects, but also the degree of innovation demonstrated by the builders of these homes,” says Built Green Canada chairman David Bengert, who is also a judge for the awards, which are scheduled to become an annual event. Previously, there had only been one award

HOME SHOWCASE

Fraser Valley homebuyers take holiday in July The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB) processed 1,101 sales on its Multiple Listing Service (MLS®) in July, a decrease of 47 per cent compared to the 2,089 sales during the same month last year and down 39 per cent compared to June. “Last year, we experienced the busiest July in our history and this year it was the quietest in a decade,” says FVREB President, Deanna Horn. “Although the real estate market typically slows in the summer months, we didn’t anticipate this level of change. “We attribute it to a combination of factors, the beautiful weather, interest rates edging up and reaction to the Harmonized Sales Tax in BC – although the HST does not apply to resale housing, not everyone knows that,” explains Horn. “The plus side of this market is highly favourable conditions for buyers – potentially the best they will be this year due to the signiﬁcant volume of listings currently, which is already showing signs of decreasing.” In July, Fraser Valley’s MLS® received 25 per

cent fewer new listings, 2,355, compared to the 3,153 new listings received in June. At month’s end, the total active inventory was 10,852, 14 per cent more than was available in July 2009, however 2 per cent fewer than in June. For the ﬁrst time since January 2009, benchmark prices for the three main residential property types: single family homes, townhomes and condos, decreased compared to the previous month. The benchmark price for Fraser Valley detached homes in July was $510,470, down 1.5 per cent compared to June and 6.9 per cent higher compared to $477,420 in July 2009. The benchmark price of Fraser Valley townhouses in July was $325,856, a 0.7 per cent decrease compared to June and a 6.9 per cent increase compared to July 2009 when it was $304,940. The benchmark price of apartments decreased by 0.8 per cent from June and increased 4.4 per cent year-over-year going from $234,178 in July 2009 to $244,368 in July 2010. TOWNHOUSES
