77-year-old victim found unresponsive and alone in middle of street

Driver leaves senior ‘fighting for her life’ Melissa Smalley Peace Arch News

Ambulance crews take victim to helicopter.

An elderly woman was airlifted to hospital with extremely serious injuries Wednesday morning after a hit-and-run in White Rock. The incident took place around 9:15 a.m. when the 77-year-old woman was crossing Lee Street at Marine Drive and was hit by a vehicle that fled northbound on Lee Street. “We think the vehicle was turning north from Marine Drive onto Lee Street when it struck her,” Sgt. Peter Thiessen said. “The RCMP’s collision scene experts have taken

some preliminary measurements and they think it was likely a larger vehicle, such as a truck.” Though there were no reported witnesses, resident Deborah Satterfield was the first to attend to the woman, whom she found lying in the middle of the street. Satterfield said the woman was conscious but unresponsive, and one of her legs appeared to be “crushed.” Satterfield also said there was no sign of any vehicles that may have been involved. “There was nobody around, that was the

sad thing,” she said. When paramedics arrived, the woman was transported by ambulance to a field in Semiahmoo Park where she was then airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital, where police say she is now “fighting for her life.” “She’s going to be undergoing some fairly significant surgery,” Thiessen told Peace Arch News. Despite spending hours interviewing people at the scene, police were unable to find witnesses, and are asking anyone who may have information to call 778-593-3600.

Paddling with pride The sun shines Thursday on young Feather Arnouse, 4, and brother Easton Arnouse, 6, both members of the Semiahmoo First Nation team completing the final legs of the historic Salish Sea Journey, an annual Pulling Together event involving First Nations canoeists, police, navy and DFO personnel. Canoes travelled from Crescent Beach to White Rock, and from there to the Semiahmoo First Nation, hosts for the event. See page 2. Brian Giebelhaus photo

Operating rooms reduced to one in July and zero in August

Peace Arch’s surgeries pared down to none Jeff Nagel & Alex Browne Black Press / Staff Reporter

Hospitals around the Fraser Health region are closing more operating rooms to elective and scheduled surgeries than usual this summer as a cost-cutting measure. And the hardest hit is Peace Arch Hospital, which has dropped from

2.3 ORs open in June to one in July – and zero in August. Fraser Health spokesman Roy Thorpe said Peace Arch expects to cope through a combination of shifting any scheduled August surgeries to the fall and transferring patients to other hospitals where necessary.

The health authority hopes to wring $7 million in savings this year from the surgical budget through the combination of OR closures and other changes. Patient-focused funding is also expected to play a role, providing financial incentives to encourage hospitals to find more ways to

perform day surgery, rather than keeping patients overnight. Emergency surgeries won’t be affected by the slowdown, Thorpe said. But Dr. Charles King, a member of the steering committee for the White Rock-South Surrey division of family practice – whose doctors

are on the front lines in determining the health needs of Peninsula residents – pointed out patients with delayed surgeries can end up occupying emergency beds. “An untended problem can turn into an emergency problem,” he said. see page 4

major travel routes for First Nations people, and of course the rich fisheries in all those rivers, the Fraser River and the ocean were a foundation of wealth and stability for the First Nations people. Once settlers and traders started arriving in the area, the wealth of the earlier cultures began to crumble. But when miners and farmers began arriving, much of the way of life that First Nations peoples had known was altered – in some cases in tragic ways. Despite the tragedies that ensued, First Nations people have not forgotten their culture, and thankfully their neighbours are finally starting to realize just how important it is. There is also a strong desire on the part of most B.C. residents to try and right some of the wrongs that have been done by various governments over the years. They want to ensure not only is First Nations culture recognized for its richness and unique aspects, but First Nations people be given full recognition for the important role they play in our multicultural and multiracial society. The visit of the Pulling Together canoes to Crescent Beach and White Rock was a tangible step in that direction. Frank Bucholtz writes Fridays for the Peace Arch News.

news Russ Hiebert denies claims as opponents plan town hall meeting

Liberals take MP to task over seniors Alex Browne Staff Reporter

A town hall meeting in White Rock next week – sponsored by the federal Liberal party – aims to look at ways Ottawa can do more to address seniors’ health issues, including end-of-life care. And local Liberals say they are holding the meeting because of a lack of attention to the issue from Conservative MP Russ Hiebert – a charge the South Surrey-White RockCloverdale MP disputes. Federal Liberal health critic Dr. Carolyn Bennett hopes to talk to Peninsula residents and representatives from support organizations at the meeting, set for 1-3 p.m., Tuesday, at the Elks Hall, 1469 George St. Bennett, who practised family medicine for 20 years, says she is an advocate of more federal leadership in health matters, which – more than simply health care – involves looking at such social determinants of health as poverty, nutrition and the provision of

affordable housing. “Health is clearly a shared responsibility,” Bennett said Tuesday, speaking from her riding in St. Paul’s in Toronto. “The (federal) government is the fifth largest provider of health in Canada. What I hear, as Liberal health critic, is a cry for federal leadership.” Local federal Liberal association president Penny Essex charges that Hiebert has not been doing any public consultation on such seniors issues in the riding since first being elected in 2004 – in spite of having 22 per cent of his constituency over age 65. “In all the time I’ve been here and involved in politics – which is as long as Mr. Hiebert has been here – he has not engaged in any dialogue or meetings like this,” Essex said. “We thought it was time for us to step up. There are a lot of seniors’ issues around health and well-being that should be talked about. We decided we should take advantage of Carolyn Bennett’s expertise in this area and have her come out.”

But Hiebert told Peace Arch News Hiebert said the majority of issues in a phone interview this week it is raised to him by constituents – untrue he has not held local meetincluding seniors – have more to do with employment and crime. ings to talk about seniors’ issues. He cited as an example a town hall “Health care is an issue raised by meeting with the secretary of state constituents, but not very often, for seniors that he hosted at Sunnybecause it’s primarily a provincial side Hall in September 2007, which responsibility,” Hiebert said. “We’re very fortunate that one of was attended by about 100 people. “We had a fantastic turnout.

By 9:30 a.m., firefighters were carrying out some of the family’s most important possessions, including medical equipment and supplies for Katrina, a clock and family photographs. Most damage to the home, aside from the roof – which was half destroyed – was from water from fire hoses. Cause of the fire was still under investigation Wednesday but Surrey Fire Battalion Chief Rich McPhee said at the scene it appeared it had started externally and had spread rapidly to the attic. Jean Murphy said she was grateful to neighbours for their prompt response. “It could have been a lot worse,” she said. “We could all have been asleep. Everybody’s fine. It’s just things (that were damaged) – not people.”

A toddler is expected to make a complete recovery after being found face down in a South Surrey residential pool Wednesday evening. The two-year-old girl and her mother were visiting a Morgan Creek home in the 15900-block of Devonshire Drive, when the mother briefly went back inside the house around 6:30 p.m., and returned to find her daughter floating in the pool. Neighbour Mario Knezevic rushed to the scene shortly after the girl’s mother called 911, and he began administering CPR. Another neighbour – a doctor – took over resuscitation attempts until paramedics arrived. The girl was airlifted to B.C. Children’s Hospital where she is expected to make a full recovery.

Castles on hold The White Rock Uptown Sandcastle Competition will have to be delayed until September – if it is to happen at all. But White Rock Sandcastle Society spokesperson Lisa Nolan said that will hinge on sponsorship of businesses – which to this point has not been sufficient to cover the $25,000-$30,000 expense of putting on such an event, originally scheduled for July 25. A meeting with the Business Improvement Association last week produced the suggestion the contest be delayed to the week of Sept. 5-11 to coincide with a BIA event. “We’ll have to go back and contact everybody who agreed to be a sponsor and ask if they’re still interested.”

editorial

Stay safe when the heat is on fter endless weeks of grey skies, rain showers and March-like temperatures, summer has arrived with a vengeance on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. Temperatures have consistently climbed this week; on Wednesday, the mercury crept above 30 degrees in White Rock, breaking a July 7 heat record dating back to 1929. While this is great news for the community’s sun-worshippers and beach-goers, higher-thanaverage temperatures can spell trouble for those vulnerable to the heat, such as seniors and infants. Health officials advise people to stay out of the sun in such weather, and to keep their homes as cool as possible by closing the blinds and using fans. However, even with such precautions, it can be difficult to stay cool. A senior citizen living in a west-facing, thirdfloor apartment, for example, may have a hard time keeping their home cool, even with fans blowing and shades drawn. And exposure to extreme heat is not just a matter of comfort. It can lead to heat exhaustion, fainting, cramps, and in some cases, heat stroke. According to Health Canada, heat stroke is a potentially fatal medical emergency, and anybody exhibiting its symptoms – throbbing headache, dizziness, confusion, nausea or red, hot skin – should dial 911 immediately. In addition to staying indoors where it’s coolest, officials say you should drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and limit your physical activity, especially during the day when it’s hottest. If your home is too hot, spend a few hours somewhere with air conditioning, like a mall, or cool off by taking a cold shower or bath. Most importantly, residents should look out for one another – a quick visit or phone call to an elderly neighbour is all it takes to make sure the heat isn’t taking its toll. And don’t forget about the furry friends either – be sure to leave dogs in a cool place during the day with plenty of water, and watch for signs of heat stroke, which include excessive panting, salivating, difficulty breathing and vomiting. If you suspect your pet might be suffering from heat stroke, hose them down with cool water and seek veterinary care if the symptoms persist. We’ve been waiting patiently for summer to arrive on the West Coast, and now that it’s here and hotter than ever, let’s make sure it’s a safe and enjoyable one.

84 responding In less than a minute, she had managed to mirror the happenings of home to a T. Since making the ever-so-difficult decision to return to work, I have been cast aside, and she has attached herself to dad. (My husband may dispute the whole toilet scenario, but that’s his business.) As difficult as it is to get the brush-off, I take comfort in knowing she is close to her dad. And it is probably just a stage, right??? And for those reading a little deeper into our parenting skills, I know it’s a big faux pas – just ask my mom, my mother-in-law or pretty much every inquiring stranger who asks about her sleep habits – but yes, little nipper is still in our bed. I know we’ve got to kick the habit, but let us get over one major transition at a time. Trust me, it has become more a habit of convenience than the desire to follow any attachment theory. And for now, it’s just nice to have her so close, especially after not seeing her all day. There’s nothing like watching her cherubic face, so peaceful, as she nestles up beside me, especially when she wraps her little hand around my pinkie and won’t let go till morning. At the end of her birthday, as she slept in our bed with dad, I went to put away the toys strewn about the house, including her dollhouse. Despite being exhausted from another long day, I had to smile. Mom was back inside – in the kitchen, nonetheless. Seems we all have a lot to learn.

Encore! Encore! Editor: Re: Writer ‘retires’ from post, June 25 Enviro Notes column. Thank you, Dr. Roy Strang, for your insightful and interesting enviro column.

Help is more than just talk Editor: Re: David Suzuki to speak in Surrey, July 7. Reading that Dr. David Suzuki is coming to South Surrey to collect money to enlarge his income for the year, there is a large question: “What is therein for the people?” Persons like Al Gore and Suzuki are full of advice for others about what to do to change the environment, that according to their views are changing for the worst. Climate changes have taken place for as long as the world exists and will not alter, no matter what is done or not. Of course there is no harm in trying. To hear them tell the audience what is going wrong, it would be more of an encouragement to hear and read what they have done to set an example to improve the condition, besides, as Gore said, “not just changing light bulbs” in his oversized mansion. Improving the world condition starts at home, not on the stage. Suan H.Booiman, White Rock

sidewalk and fell face-first onto the ground. People just kept on walking by, except these two young men who helped her up, called 911 and waited with her until the ambulance arrived. I don’t know the names of these two people, but I thank them so much for their help and kindness. It is nice to know that common decency still exists in our busy world.

Ames, Surrey

Only staff will suffer the HST Editor: Now the HST is a fact. The restaurant owners were right to fight it, but I do not believe they will suffer, only the staff will. Tips of 10 to15 per cent will now be cut to three to eight per cent, as people compensate for the increased cost by reducing the tip accordingly. Those who already suffer under the lowest wage in Canada will now be victimized again. Another item to add to Gordon Campbell’s legacy of shame. Helen Jones, White Rock

As Semiahmoo Peninsula turns Editor: Re: Here’s to City of Semiahmoo, June 30 letters. At the risk of making the merits of White Rock enjoying “city” status into a soap opera, I feel I must respond to Erika Johanson’s letter. To incorporate the Semiamoo Peninsula into a city would only result in a larger version of White Rock with all the same problems of exorbitant property taxes and poor amenities for its citizens. If you look at the Peninsula, you will realize it is a bedroom community well-served by smalland medium-sized retailers but no department stores and no industrial complex of any kind. The facts are that property and business taxes for industrial properties are many times what they are for a similar-sized residential property and they pay a disproportionate share of the cost of operating any municipal area and thus mitigate the cost to residents. In many cases, industrial-base taxes are as much as 20 times the equivalent of residential rates. I believe in Surrey the ratio is about 8:1, and this is what leads to better amenities and lower taxes for Surrey citizens on the Peninsula. It would appear Johanson would like to put a fence around the Peninsula and keep out young people with families who need smaller, affordable homes, widows and singles who need and can

afford only a small condo and anyone else who threatens her perfect little world. Lets all go back to the good old days! She talks about ridiculously small square footages when I dare say the majority of us in the older generation were happily raised in houses with less than 1,500 sq. ft. Letter-writer D. Barros had it right when he/she said in an earlier response, if lower taxes and better amenities means being part of Surrey, then so be it, (Learning to say they’re Surrey, June 23 letters). The elitists can still say they are from White Rock. Welcome to the City of Surrey. Bob Cooper, Surrey

Editor: Re: Biker Lekstrom heads for hills, June 16 BC Views column. Just to set the record straight, the B.C. Conservative Party has never endorsed the HST. The B.C. Conservative Party only said they would investigate it. The B.C. Conservative Party did and found the B.C. Liberal HST plan flawed. Only one candidate in the B.C. Conservative Party ran in 2009 supporting the HST and that was Mark Thompson. It was from Thompson’s urging that the party investigate the HST and its possible benefits. Blake MacKenzie, Victoria

Compost plant to be discussed week the proposal appears to be an industrial plant, based on the equipment he suspects would be used, such as waste haulers, dump trucks and forklifts. “This is an industrial plant and it should be on industrial land,” he said, noting a petition with 934 signatures has been submitted to the city. McNeice said the proposed plant is “certainly in the wrong location,” with an elementary school, neighbourhoods and visitor centre nearby. Nicholas Lai, manager of planning for South Surrey, noted the project is a permitted use on ALR land, however because Pilot Grove’s plans to sell most of its product exceed what is allowed

Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

in the ALR, the developer has had to apply to the Agricultural Land Commission to use the lots for a non-farm use. Shaundel Runkel, of the ALC’s policy and special projects department, said the proposal was on the commission’s agenda this past Wednesday, but that she didn’t know when a decision would be made. If the non-farm use is approved, Lai said the city would then deal with the proposal and decide whether it’s adequate. He said the city has commissioned an independent peer review on the proposal. Registration for tonight’s session begins at 6 p.m. at the Pacific Inn, 1160 King George Blvd.

Information on a proposed composting plant in the Hazelmere Valley that has some Peninsula residents up in arms will be presented at a public information meeting tonight (Friday). At the Pacific Inn at 6:30 p.m., the team from Pilot Grove Farms is to address details about the project, such as its concept, odour-elimination methods, traffic estimates and protection of the creek running through the property, which is located in the Agricultural Land Reserve. The Peace Arch News first reported in February how Pilot Grove’s proposal to build a composting facility with compost sales on two lots totalling 25 acres – at 17690 and 17720 12 Ave. – had area residents concerned about the preservation of farmland, SAVE air and water quality, UP TO A U T H E N T I C I TA L I A N among other issues. xE xS xT xA xU xR xA xN xT R According to Pilot $15 Grove Farms, benefits Plenty of the development (up to max. $20.50 value per dinner) of FREE – described as a “fullANY EVENING Parking cycle farm project” that 32 ITEMS TO CHOOSE FROM! will produce a “highTo avoid confusion at billing, coupon MUST be presented before ordering quality soil amendment - 1 coupon per couple and limited to a max. of 3 coupons per table. product” – include a Cannot be used with any other promotion.

Liberal ban on coffee roasts Peninsula MLAs Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

Local Liberal MLAs are going to have to find somewhere else to buy their coffee, because – for a week, at least – they aren’t welcome at Al Nemeth’s Holy Smoke Coffee in South Surrey. Nemeth is protesting the much-debated harmonized sales tax, which went into effect July 1, with a large sign stating ‘Liberal MLAs Not Welcome Here’. The sign is posted on the back of his SUV, which he parks in front of his business, the teepee-shaped building at 3418 King George Blvd. “It fills the (back of the) truck up nicely – it turned out to be a little bit bigger than I thought it would be,” Nemeth laughed. “It’s just a way to make a statement... I’m not going to fly it forever, but if you believe in something, you say it.” Nemeth said he personally convinced more than 450 people to sign the anti-HST

petition that’s been circulating through the province. “I thought it was MLAs’ responsibility to do something about the HST before (July 1) and I guess they decided their jobs were more important, or whatever.” He’ll likely take the sign down in a week or so, he said, adding that he’d gladly loan the sign to other like-minded business owners willing to take up the cause. The provincial government announced it would be implementing the new tax – which replaces the GST and PST – in order to help the economy, and that businesses would benefit. Nemeth, however, disagrees. “It helps big business, it doesn’t help me, not at all. All my customers are complaining about it daily,” he said Wednesday, adding that his protest has actually helped sales this week. “My wife said I was crazy to put the sign up, but I had more customers yesterday than ever.”

perspectives …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Dorsal Academy to teach children with disabilities

New school of thought Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

I

n their efforts to create a certified independent school, two Peninsula residents are faced with finding a location, appointing staff, establishing policies and procedures, undergoing an inspection and making government applications – not to mention enrolling the provincial requirement of 10 students. It’s a daunting task, but one Kathryn Brettell and Dana Norris want to take on. Both have personal experience with children who struggle in the public school system due to learning disabilities, and – since they can’t find a school that meets their needs – they are setting up their own. Their vision is a school in White Rock/ South Surrey that teaches the B.C. curriculum in a way children with “learning variations” can understand and retain. Norris said the school will be designed for students who have ❝We are just problems with cognitive, looking at a language, reading, writing or math skills different way – difficulties that can of teaching translate into diagnoses these kids.❞ such as attention deficit disorder, dyscalculia, Kathryn Brettell dyslexia or development Dorsal Academy co-ordination disorder. “They learn and interpret information differently than the average student in the school system. A lot of information gets missed. They don’t work as fast as their peers do in the same environment,” Brettell said. “They just really need a different way of being taught so they can understand it.” Brettell and Norris have been looking into establishing a specialized school for the past year, after meeting at their children’s martial arts class and realizing their common interest. Since then, the duo has formed non-profit Dorsal Academy Society and established a board of directors comprised of professionals and business people. Norris said they will be looking to corporate entities for financial support, with the remaining funding coming from student fees and possible provincial grants, when the school becomes eligible. With a school crest designed and a website in the works, they are now looking for a site on the Peninsula. Brettell said the location will be more convenient for area students who are faced with long commutes to the next closest schools dedicated to children with learning disabilities in Vancouver, the North Shore and Pitt Meadows. “That’s a stretch to go.” Their goal is to open the academy’s doors in September 2011 – if not earlier – for students in Grades 4 to 6, and eventually include kintergarten through Grade 12 classes. They plan a teacher-student ratio of 2-to-

Brian Giebelhaus photo

Dana Norris and Kathryn Brettell are working on opening a Peninsula school for children with learning disabilities. 12 and a combination of various teaching methods plan to be used. “We are just looking at a different way of teaching these kids,” Brettell said, noting many students with learning disabilities aren’t getting the attention they need in the public school system. “The teachers are trying to do their best within the school system to facilitate the needs of these kids, but they can only do so much.” It’s not always immediately apparent when a student has a learning disability, Brettell added. “They’re bright, and as a result, they learn to blend,” she said. “These kids are not visibly desperate enough to get the help they need in the regular system. “They’re spending a lot of energy in a

regular school day to learn a curriculum that’s not easy for them. We’re trying to set up a situation where they’re… understanding the curriculum being taught to them, and it’s not exasperating.” A professional assessment will be completed to ensure Dorsal Academy is the right fit for that child, Norris said. Those who attend the school will gain the skills they need to succeed either in a transition back to public school, or later in life, in college or the workforce, she added. “The school will provide them with the tools to become self-advocating learners.” Brettell said the school will help prevent problems that can arise when children with learning disabilities are denied the

opportunity to reach their full potential. “That situation then leads to poor self esteem… and then they get into trouble because they feel like they can’t cope,” she said. “If you catch them young and they have successes as they go, it builds that confidence.” Brettell and Dorris plan to host an open forum this month for parents, educators and others interested in the project. Although the undertaking is “extremely daunting,” Dorris said it will be worth it. “This is truly about and for children and youth – it’s looking for different avenues to bring out their talents.” For more information, contact dorsalacademy@live.ca

Avalon Cruises & Globus Tours

TRAVEL & CRUISES

By Nicky at Cruise Holidays In 2004, excited by the promise of river cruising, Avalon Waterways was determined to invigorate the experience that, at the time, was characterized by older ships, limited space and land excursions operated as an afterthought. They were inspired to create a different kind of river cruise experience - one that would embrace and celebrate everything special about the travel style, and so Avalon Waterways was unveiled. With the launch of their very first ship, Avalon’s inspired design innovations became the new standard, including the introduction of floor-to-ceiling windows and French balconies on two decks of every Avalon vessel. A Silent Drive System (SDS) for the stern of each ship was developed to ensure travellers the most quiet cruise experience possible. Avalon River Cruises was also the first to bring a larger stateroom with deluxe hotel-style amenities to an entire fleet. As well as

a superior interior design from classic and traditional to contemporary and bright. Maybe it’s their Swiss heritage that gives them the passion for details, but Avalon is the only river cruise operator that’s personally involved from ship design to delivery – and every point in between. From meticulous millwork to hand-applied finishes, from designer lighting to enhanced soundproofing, from the conception and flow of the lounges to the placement of the windows, their ships are thoughtfully designed and appointed with materials praised for quality, beauty and functionality. And, that’s just on the ships. On land, their award-winning programs, often in partnership with Globus Tours, transforms tourists into travelers and storytellers and helps them truly experience each destination with guided sightseeing in

Restaurateurs settle soccer bet When Germany beat England at the World Cup June 27, Jimmy Flynn’s Celtic Snug owner Paul McDonough lost a bet with German restaurateur Tyson Blume of Uli’s Restaurant. Before the game kicked off, the two made an agreement that the person with the losing team would work a two-hour shift at the opponent’s Marine Drive restaurant. On July 7 at Uli’s, McDonough payed his dues, working a bar shift on Wednesday Schnitzel Night, an evening frequented by many of the restaurant’s loyal German customers. Blume prepared a special uniform for the British pub owner: a Germany jersey with a silkscreened message on the back that read ‘Paul (loves) Uli’s.’ “The evening wasn’t about a lost bet, but more about the fusion of two very different countries and restaurants that have two things in common – the love of soccer and a good wager,” marketing assistant Carlie Auclair said.

Local broadcaster finds proud Canadians in South Asian community

True patriot love in Surrey Dan Ferguson Black Press

Surrey resident Jasbir Singh Romana was expecting most callers to a special Canada Day radio show would be positive about their new country. But the host of radio station Sher-E-Punjab’s Shamadaan (“lighthouse�) call-in show wasn’t expecting the depth of emotion displayed when he opened the telephone lines Thursday afternoon. It was part of an allday marathon devoted to Canada Day at AM 1550, a Richmond-based broadcaster that serves the South Asian community. “I know most of you love Canada, but why?� Romana asked as he signed on at 1 p.m. The phones lit up with people eager to answer the question. Caller after caller spoke with emotion about living in a tolerant, democratic country that rewards hard work. One older listener, a White Rock resident, took the time to call back twice to describe how he went from living in a country where he didn’t have enough money to feed his cattle, to a land where he and his children can live well in nice homes. “I’m sitting here in my home

Jasbir Romana participated in Surrey’s Canada Day event. watching the beach,� he said. In their home countries, callers said, if you are not some rich farmer’s son or very lucky, you will have a big struggle. In Canada, they said, all you

have to be willing to do is to work hard. “They don’t have to be somebody’s cousin, somebody’s son or daughter� to succeed, Romana summarized.

But their pride in Canada is about more than material success, the callers indicated. “It’s not only the dollars that are bringing them here,� Romana said, adding that if that was all they were looking for, there are other countries that offer as many, if not more opportunities. Callers to AM 1550 talked about the attraction of Canadian values of fairness, civility, respect for law and openness to newcomers. “Canadians are more tolerant,� Romana said. “That’s why the Canadian mosaic is being respected all over the world.� When Romana signed off at 3 p.m. the lines were still clogged with callers. During that time, there was only one dissenter, and he was still steaming about a run-in with some police officers that didn’t seem to have much to do with the nature of Canada. The unhappy man was definitely a minority opinion on Canada Day, Romana said. That evening, when the radio host attended a wedding, some guests who recognized Romana cornered him, determined to pick up the thread of conversation from the talk show. “Everybody wanted to tell me their story,� he said. “They love Canada.�

Community celebrates teacher’s career Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

orthe Davison loved school from her first day of Grade 1 more than 50 years ago up to the final lesson she gave as a teacher before retiring last month. “I liked everything about the classroom,” she said. “School was just a really good place for me.” It was evident other people think so, too, when hundreds of Davison’s former students, parents and colleagues celebrated her teaching career with a community gathering last week ❝You really learn on the last day of the school year. Held at to live in the Crescent Park Annex moment with – where she taught children, and that’s since 1987 – the June something adults 29 party included a potluck, popcorn strive to do.❞ machine and Dorthe Davison magician. Davison was also treated to a musical presentation and performance of O Canada by her students. “I just felt incredibly honoured. It was a magical evening.” Surrey Board of Education chair Laurae McNally, who also attended the event, said afterwards that Davison will be “dreadfully” missed. “I’ve known Dorthe for years and years and years, and if I had to say one thing, it would be that I wish every child in our school district could have a Dorthe Davison to teach them.” Davison had been a Surrey teacher since 1969, spending the last 23 years at Crescent Park Annex, which has just one classroom

Davison developed the multi-aged program at the 2378 124 St. school, where the atmosphere was always a stimulating one. “The classroom itself always afforded me lots of opportunities to follow my passion for singing, dancing... it was always creative, lots of joy,” Davison said. “You really learn to live in the moment with children, and that’s something adults strive to do.” In visiting Davison’s classroom, McNally said it was evident she had a special connection with her students. “She just enjoyed being around children... and I think they enjoyed being around

her. And I think part of her appeal was her openness and honesty, her heartfelt warmth, and she had a great sense of humour. I always sort of thought Dorthe believed all children were born good and they all needed love, even if they didn’t necessarily deserve it,” McNally said. “She’s just one of those very special people we meet once in a lifetime whose so humble and caring and wise.” Davison, 62, said one of her goals was to retire while she was still passionate about her job. “I still felt that way till the very last day,” she said. “I just wanted to go on a high, and just be really satisfied that I was ending

my career the way it began – with lots of excitement, anticipation and joy.” Davison now plans to focus on her business, Four Quarters Literacy Inc., which supports parents who want to teach their children successful money management. She is also looking forward to spending time with family and friends and making more trips to Mexico. Davison said she is grateful for the families who came through Cresent Park Annex and made her time there memorable. “I just want to thank my community. Thank you for entrusting your children to me, for my wonderful career.”

Not that the snooty – and snotty – Eleanor Hunter isn’t attempting a little glamour of her own. “She’s a social climber who has dolled herself up to win the heart of the bank manager,” she said. “Now her son is married, she thinks it’s about time she got a new partner of her own.

Kings of zydeco and blues ‘doin’ it’ again Alex Browne Arts Reporter

File photo

Bruce ‘Sunpie’ Barnes (left) of Mojo Zydeco last played on the Peninsula in 2008 at Crescent Park Legion.

It’s the most eloquent tribute imaginable for popular local band Mojo Zydeco. Two authentic kings of zydeco and blues are flying up from Louisiana just to be part of the band’s upcoming release party for its new CD, Doin’ It. Accordionist, vocalist and blues harmonica player Bruce ‘Sunpie’ Barnes – who last visited the Peninsula in 2008 and contributed three songs to the album – and accordionist Morris Ledet, founder of touring band Rosie Ledet and the Zydeco Playboys, will be playing up a storm with the band at the event, Saturday, July 17 at 8 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240, 2643 128 St. (for tickets, $15, call the Legion at 604-535-1043 or 604-721-0872). “Their taking time from their busy schedules to fly up is such an honour,” said Mojo Zydeco leader Randy Schultz. “These two guys are going to kick the energy level up so high that the old Legion roof might just be blown off.” Schultz said that since he and wife Jane – the band’s rub board artist – first met Barnes and Ledet during a trip to New Orleans a decade ago, the Louisianians have

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Brian Giebelhaus photo

Local prospects like Leah Riske and Jocelyn Cater getting a chance with national squad

Team Canada looks to the future Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

A

fter a taxing, but ultimately successful, week at world championships in Venezuela, the newly bronzed Canadian women’s softball team is focusing on youth in South Surrey this week at the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship, where the team has been playing exhibition tilts nightly. For proof of the national program’s concentration on its next wave of stars, one needn’t look further than the local batter’s box Tuesday night, where 20-year-old Surrey Storm infielder Leah Riske was wearing the Maple Leaf. Riske, in her first-ever at-bat

with the national team, smacked a single, in the third inning of Canada’s game against the Washington Absolute Blast. And later in the inning, after Canada th hit through the order, Riske dri drilled a three-run home r over the fence at run S Softball City’s diamond 1. Canada won the game 13-0, the second straight shutout over the Blast. On Thursday, Canada began a four-game series against the world championship-winning U.S. national team, which is also fielding a young team far different than the one that travelled to Venezuela. Riske, a Cloverdale resident and member of the Storm ‘90 senior girls team, got the call at

the last minute to don the red and white, in place of some of the team’s senior members who were given a break; former White Rock Renegade Corinne Doornberg, for example, went back to the University of Mississippi after helping Canada to a third-place finish in Caracas, Venezuela. “It was kind of out of the blue, a little bit,” said Riske, a multi-sport star who was an accomplished junior bantam quarterback, soccer goalie and javelin thrower before focusing solely on softball. “(Canada head coach Mark Smith) sent me an email about a week ago. This is my first experience at this level and I’m pretty excited,” Riske said Tuesday afternoon, during a Team Canada practice at Sunnyside Park before her big game. Riske admitted that, before Canada’s first game Monday – in

which she played a few innings at third base but didn’t hit – she was a little nervous, but was grateful for the chance to sit in the same dugout as the women she watched at Canada Cup events in years past. “It was a little nerve-wracking. You just don’t really know what’s going on and you just kind of have to jump right into it,” she said. “But some of these girls, like (30-year-old catcher) Erin Cumpstone, I’ve watched for years, and it’s pretty exciting to be out here on the same field as her, and be in the same dugout.” Riske isn’t the only up-andcomer in Canada’s lineup this week. White Rock Renegades pitcher Jocelyn Cater - who was named to Canada’s junior team this week – pitched two innings see page 36

Pair of Renegade squads lead Showcase division After the first three days of round-robin play at the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship, the two White Rock Renegades teams in the Showcase division find themselves leading their respective pools. In Pool A, the Renegades ‘94 are a perfect 5-0. They won twice Tuesday, over Ridge Meadows Pride ‘95 and Richmond Islanders ‘94, and won another two Wednesday, over Delta Heat ‘95 and the Fraser Valley Fusion. In Pool B, Renegades ‘95 are also 5-0, with recent wins over Fraser Valley Fusion, Ridge Meadows Pride ‘94, Calgary Rockies and

Nanaimo Breakers. Meanwhile, the Futures (U19) division Renegade teams are all in the middle of the pack. The South Surrey-White Rock Thunder sit last in Pool A, with a 1-4 mark. The team’s lone win came in its second game Wednesday, 7-6 over Ridge Meadows Pride ‘95. In seven-team Pool A, the Renegades ‘93 sit fifth with a 2-3 record. After opening with a pair of losses in the first day of competition Monday, the ‘93-born squad dropped a close 3-2 game to Delta Heat ‘91 before rebounding with a pair of wins over Surrey Storm ‘92 and

the Maryland Howard County Fever. In Pool B, the Renegades ‘92 are fourth out of six teams with a 2-2 mark. The team began with two shutout victories Tuesday, beating the Washington Sidewinders 5-0 and Delta Heat ‘93 7-0. On Wednesday, however, the team evened its record after a loss to the Cal Worth Firecrackers, and Richmond Islanders. In Pool C, the Renegades ‘91 are 1-2, and tied for third. The ‘91s dropped an 8-5 decision to Surrey Storm ‘93 on Tuesday, before bouncing back to beat Texas Sudden Impact, 3-1. All teams played Thursday after press deadline.

Both teams full of young prospects from page 35 for the national side Monday against Washington, and Marina Demore, a former Surrey Storm and White Rock Renegade player who now pitches for the Oregon State Beavers, threw a combined three innings in Canada’s opening two contests. After a three-game set against Washington, Canada now faces the U.S. for four games, including one tonight (Friday) at 7 p.m. The cross-border battle began Thursday night, after press deadline. Though the American team – which only brought five players from its world championship team to South Surrey, led by veterans Ashley Charters and Chelsea Bramlett – is young, it should provide a glimpse into the future for fans of both teams. “It’s our young against their young,” said Team Canada’s operations manager Harvey Stevenson. Regardless of the lineups fielded by each team, playing the U.S. – especially on home turf – is always special said Canadian outfielder Melanie Matthews, a 24-year-old South Surrey native. “It’s really important for us to come out strong here, because a lot of the young girls are going to be watching and looking up to us, and you want to be sure that you give them something good to see,” she said. The games also give the team a chance to stay sharp after such a grueling world

In both games, the winning run was scored in the bottom of the seventh inning. “It was awesome. We definitely got the performances we needed, from everyone, and it was nice to get the bounces to go our way for a change,” Matthews said. “It was one heck of a Canada Day, that’s for sure.” The following day, Canada lost the semifinal game to Japan to earn bronze – the first-ever medal for Team Canada at world championships.

sports Josh Boden arrested after incident in Burnaby

Former Ram charged with B&E Josh Boden, a 24-year-old Surrey man once considered a top professional football prospect, has been arrested and charged with breaking and entering. The incident reportedly occurred last week in Burnaby at the home of Boden’s girlfriend. Court records show Boden was arrested without a warrant. Boden appeared in Vancouver Provincial Court Monday, where the charge was upgraded from simple breaking and entering to one count of breaking and entering to commit a serious indictable offence. A bail hearing was scheduled for Monday, July 12. Boden, a former student at North Vancouver’s Carson Graham Secondary, had a checkered upbringing before moving to Surrey, where he was taken under the wing of BC Lions head coach Wally Buono and a handful of players, including defensive back Mark Washington and receiver Paris Jackson. Before he turned pro, the sixfoot-one Boden was a standout player for for the South Surrey Rams of the Canadian Junior Football League. His performance won him an

The charges were dropped a few months later when his exgirlfriend, Kimberly Hallgarth, said she couldn’t remember key

Any individual or business interested in sponsoring the team can contact head coach Paulo Trettenero at 778-837-9215, team secretary Sherry Fostvelt, 604541-3628 or Lorraine Guild, 604535-3958.

The Thunder ’95 squad is no stranger to the provincial showdown – this will be the team’s fourth consecutive appearance, having snagged silver medals in each of the last two years. While the team eyes the gold medal in Port Alberni, there is a prize at stake for all squads that finish on the podium – the

Nine Interior Fixes to Sell a Home Fast Despite low interest rates, there is still a lot of home inventory available. That means homeowners thinking about selling have to do whatever they can to set their homes apart from the others available. Real estate experts call it “staging,” or presenting the home in the best light so that potential buyers can envision themselves moving right in. Just a few changes here and there can position a home to sell faster than the competition. 1. The nose knows. A house can be perfect inside and out, but if it smells bad, buyers will likely be put off. Make sure there is no noticeable odor, such as pet smells, garbage, stale smoke, etc., to turn off others. 2. Clear out. Make sure the interior looks as spacious as possible. This could mean taking out some furniture and temporarily putting it in storage. Be sure countertops in bathrooms and kitchens are free of clutter. And pack away knick-knacks that can collect dust. 3. Cater to the lazy person. Potential buyers generally want to move in and simply unpack. They don’t want to make major repairs. Therefore, homeowners should do whatever repairs are possible, within reason. If that means tearing down dated wallpaper

or replacing carpeting with hardwood floors, it could mean a faster sale. 4. Do a deep cleaning. Whether a cleaning service is hired or the homeowner does it himself, tackling necessary cleaning projects could make the home shine. Now is the time to wash the windows, shampoo the carpets, regrout the bathrooms, and tackle all of those messes that could compromise a sale. 5. Add a fresh coat of paint. If walls are bright colors or eclectic, it could pay to paint rooms in more neutral shades to appeal to the masses. Just be aware that some buyers are suspicious of paint, especially freshly painted ceilings. They may think a homeowner is trying to hide something, usually water stains. 6. Keep the home updated. While one doesn’t have to follow every trend, ensuring the home is ageless can make for a better sell. So if the cabinets scream 1985 and the bathroom is circa 1967, it could be time to do some updating. 7. Create “happy” spaces. Buyers don’t want to purchase a dark home that seems full of doom and gloom. Open the windows, turn on the lights, add lights to dark rooms and use light colors as room accents. Generally buyers want a bright and light home.

8. Avoid provocation. One potential buyer could be an animal lover, another a political activist. No one can tell who will view the home. So don’t display personal items that might offend. Take down mounted deer heads and put away books that may seem offensive. It can be a good idea to store religious items as well.

9. Clean out closets and cabinets: Partially empty closets and cabinets give the suggestion that the home is large and has plenty of storage space -- so much so that it doesn’t even all need to be used. Buyers who see jampacked closets could wonder what’s up with storage.

Since opening my restaurant at Grandview Corners more than a year ago, I have found advertising in the Peace Arch News to be a simple and effective way to promote my business on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. I have seen especially good results with ads that I have placed in their monthly coupon promotion, Clip or Click. In March of this year, I ran a buy-one-get-onefree coupon on the back page of the coupon wrap and was delighted to receive more than 300 coupons back from customers over subsequent weeks. On the advice of my advertising representative, there was no expiration date on the coupon which was extremely helpful with the promotion, as it encouraged people to come in even weeks after the advertisement was published. I was very impressed with the response to the coupon and the feedback that I have received from customers since then has been extremely positive as well. Working with the Peace Arch News over the past year has been a pleasant and beneďŹ cial experience, and everyone involved in the admaking process has always gone to great lengths to make sure my ads are just the way I want them. I would highly recommend any local businesses advertise with Peace Arch News – after seeing ďŹ rst hand the positive response from their readers, I am conďŹ dent that my ads have paid off with increased customer visits.
