Pilot project strives to connect with beach visitors

Tourism White Rock unveils free Wi-Fi Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Mobile devices abound at the beach.

White Rock beach is now a BlueZone. As of this week, waterfront visitors can access free Wi-Fi and receive tourism info on the city via their Bluetooth. The combination is hoped to boost business and draw more people to stay, play and connect to White Rock. And the tourism focus makes it a first in Canada, those behind the network say. “As far as I know, no one’s ever done it anywhere in the world,” said Blue Jamb Media’s

Michelle Herlihy, who suggested the concept to South Surrey and White Rock Chamber of Commerce officials about six months ago. “Making sure people are aware of what’s going on in town… getting information to people while they’re here, it’s very powerful.” The BlueZone pilot project – sponsored in part by Peace Arch News – went live Wednesday. Extending east from Whitby’s Books & Gifts and west from the Sandpiper Pub, it features 14 access points that send video content on current local events and happenings to Bluetooth-enabled cellphones.

As well, each hotspot has a Wi-Fi function that enables the content to reach those with devices, such as laptops, iPhones, Blackberrys and other Internet-accessible gear. Last but not least, the Wi-Fi splash page links to a Tourism White Rock app, providing one-click access to the organization, mandated to be most in-the-know about what’s happening where in the city. It’s in-the-moment information that Tourism White Rock’s Betina Albornoz says those riding the mobile-technology wave crave. see page 4

Father returns for pet

Family of 4 escapes boat fire Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A family of four and their two dogs “did all the right stuff ” Saturday, when their 40-foot yacht caught fire en route to Crescent Beach. “They were fortunate. He just got them off. That was a smart thing to do,” said Crescent Beach Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary’s Sig Kristensen. Cloverdale residents Gary Steinmann, his wife and their two daughters were headed back to Crescent Beach Marina after a week of sailing in the San Juan Islands when the fire broke out around 7:30 p.m., a few miles north of Sucia Island. Within minutes of 12-year-old Emma alerting her dad to smoke coming out of the Viking’s engineroom hatches, the vessel was engulfed. “The scary thing of the whole event was just how quickly it happened,” Steinmann said Wednesday. “No time to even grab a fire extinguisher. We were literally off the boat in under two minutes. “We left with no shoes on, nothing… just ourselves, life jackets

Without a second thought, Steinmann went back, finding the dog cowering under a wicker couch. He agreed the move was a risk, but said the fire would have been

even more traumatic to his daughters had the dog not survived. “She’s part of the family,” he said. Returning to the dinghy, Steinmann called in a mayday to the U.S. Coast Guard, then, under direction of the USCG, headed for Crescent Beach. There were no other boats in sight, Steinmann said. Looking back at their yacht, “the whole sky was black,” he said.

Towline Marine Assist’s Capt. Deb Fritz was one of the first to arrive at the fire scene. The company, based out of Friday Harbour, lends assistance to vessels experiencing all manner of trouble, from running out of gas to running aground or, as in Saturday’s case, catching fire. They learned of the yacht fire through a radio transmission. Fritz said it was a “pretty amazing” fire.

“As soon as we came around the corner, we could see the black smoke. We saw the flames and we’re still about five miles out. The boat, when we got there, was actually fully engulfed. The whole top half of the boat was fully on fire. “They were really fortunate that they were towing the Boston Whaler. The way the boat was on fire, it went up pretty quick.” see page 2

if and when infrastructure projects should go ahead are local governments. What most of them don’t have access to is enough funding to complete all their top priorities – and that’s why money from the federal and provincial governments, who have access to far more tax dollars, is badly needed. What might work best in the future is for Ottawa to set aside a fixed sum in each budget for local infrastructure projects. Rather than having a team of Ottawa civil servants decide which projects are best, the program could be completely administered by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, which has much better contacts with local governments across the country. The approvals could then come much more quickly. They could also be connected to what each provincial government is doing in the way of infrastructure program funding as well, as programs vary widely from province to province. Such a system would all but eliminate photo ops for local MPs, but it could lead to better use of tax dollars. None of us want to see infrastructure crumble. But as taxpayers, we all prefer to get the best bang for our buck. I believe the best way to do so is to have the decision-making process streamlined, and stagger the timing of projects so that the actual cost is determined by competitive bidding. Frank Bucholtz writes Fridays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

Family heads across strait in dinghy from page 1 Despite firefighting efforts, including an offer of assistance from a passing cruise ship, the yacht could not be salvaged. It sank in about 700 feet of water, Fritz said. Kristensen’s crew was dispatched by the Canadian Coast Guard’s rescue co-ordination centre around 9 p.m. At the time, it wasn’t clear exactly where the family was, he said. With two others, Kristensen maintained a lookout from local shores, from where the flames

and smoke were easily seen, he said. Four crew members guided the Vigilant – the team’s dedicated vessel – toward the distressed yacht. There was “major concern for their safety” when it was learned the family were headed across the strait in the dinghy, Kristensen said. Fortunately, despite rough waters and taking on a couple of waves, they arrived safely back at Crescent Beach Marina, where the auxiliary crew caught up to them, ensured there were no

injuries and even gave them a ride home. Unfortunately, the family lost everything on board in the fire. Steinmann is simply thankful his family is safe. He estimated the value of the family’s loss at between $300,000 and $400,000. They were insured, he said. The incident was one of only a few the local auxiliary has dealt with so far this season, a fact that is likely at least partly due to unseasonably cooler weather, Kristensen.

news Falcon’s explanation criticized after citing staff vacations as cause of closures

Don’t blame docs for standstill in OR: Dix Jeff Nagel Black Press

NDP health critic Adrian Dix takes issue with Health Minister Kevin Falcon blaming deeperthan-usual operating room closures this summer on medical staff vacations. The cuts have been imposed by the provincial government to save money, Dix said this week. “What they’re doing is rationalizing and reducing the amount of elective surgeries,” he said. “They’re going to be increasing wait times as a result of these decisions.” Fraser Health officials confirmed last week that hospitals would reduce OR time to save an esti-

mated $7 million. ORs typically run 25 per cent fewer hours in the summer, but that’s dropping an average 35 per cent this year. Reductions are deepest at Peace Arch, Langley and Delta hospitals. Falcon said Friday that Peace Arch Hospital is reduced to one OR in July and none in August because of vacation planning. “We can’t force people to work,” Falcon told Peace Arch News. “If the majority of people are going to be taking time… from mid-July to August off, it’s the right thing to do for them for that facility.” Falcon predicted B.C.’s new patient-focused funding model, which is designed to encourage

efficiency and innovation, will lead to a dramatic upswing in surgeries performed in the fall, shortening surgery wait times. Falcon also cited Canadian Institute for Health Information figures showing B.C. has the lowest wait times in Canada. Dix dismissed that claim, noting B.C. doesn’t submit its data on MRI waits because the province has capped the number of scans, increasing diagnostic wait times. That, in turn, makes surgical waits appear artificially low, he said, because many patients must first get their scan before they can go on a wait list for surgery. Fraser Health performed 3,000

House fire suspicious Surrey RCMP are investigating a suspicious fire that engulfed a home near 136 Street and Crescent Road Saturday. Officers were called to the scene just after 4 a.m. July 10 by Surrey firefighters. Few details were available, however, police say the home was fully engulfed in flames when they arrived. A female resident alerted family members to the fire after waking to the sound of a crackling noise coming from outside. No injuries were reported.

Seniors told to speak up Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The need for a national housing strategy, the impact of the loss of Senior Support Services and the importance of consultation with residents were among points raised at a town hall meeting called to look at seniors’ health and end-oflife care issues. More than 50 people – residents, non-profit association representatives and others – turned out to the Elks Hall Tuesday to voice their opinions to federal Liberal health critic Carolyn Bennett and fellow panelists Yvon Thibeault of White Rock Hospice Society and Alice Edge, from the B.C. Health Coalition. Most questions during the meeting – organized by the SurreyWhite Rock-Cloverdale Federal Liberal Association to address issues that members say are lacking attention by Conservative MP Russ Hiebert – were directed to Bennett. Attendee Helen Cunningham, referring to the impact of last September’s provincial funding cut that ended White Rock/Surrey Come Share Society’s Senior Support Services, wanted to know why basic needs for seniors are falling victim to government’s resistance to raise taxes. “It’s disgusting that those who should be getting help so they can be self-sufficient are losing the support they need,” she said, describing how she had trouble tracking down an elderly neighbour after the program was cut. The woman, who uses a wheelchair, was eventually found in hospital, Cunningham said. In her response, Bennett reiterated her belief that health is a shared responsibility. “In a population-health model, we should know where people are,” Bennett said. “It’s going to take all

ilization technicians in April in anticipation of a further 14 per cent cut in the elective surgery budget for the 2010 budget year. Some of the savings are to be reinvested back in hospitals through the new pay-for-performance funding model. As a result, Fraser Health officials predict the same number of surgeries will be performed this year as last – 60,000 elective or scheduled surgeries plus 20,000 urgent or emergency surgeries. “They’re playing with budgets to pretend they’re improving things,” Dix said. “Just because the minister says it’s efficient, doesn’t make it efficient.”

Neighbours help out A fire Tuesday morning that caused extensive damage to a home in the 1000-block of 163A Street is not believed suspicious. Surrey Fire Services requested police assistance at the scene just after 2:30 a.m. No injuries were reported. Const. Kenn Meglic said a woman who lived there was provided shelter and support by a neighbour. “It looks like the community came together here,” he said. Cause of fire remains under investigation.

three levels of government to sort this out.” Gisele Battle wanted to know where government is when residents really need it. She expressed frustration at a developer’s failed bid to create an assisted-living facility in the City of Surrey near 150 Street and 20 Avenue. More such facilities are clearly needed and yet neighbourhood resistance to the concept was given more weight, Battle said. “Why didn’t we have any help from the government?” Battle asked. Bennett said she couldn’t speak to the specific issue, but said it demonstrates a need to improve the way decisions are made. People

need to come together, and politicians do need to take sides sometimes, she said. “The consensus cannot be who speaks loudest and last,” she said. Others who attended raised concern over the issue of homelessness among seniors; extolled the value of seniors’ skill sets in volunteer positions; and sought support for caregiver-placement agencies that match workers coming from overseas with those who need assistance. Bobbi Spark, a self-described disenchanted Liberal, travelled from Abbotsford to ask Bennett why it should be believed the party will do any better than it has in the past if it regains power. Conceding her party has made mistakes, Bennett promised things would be different if the Liberals had another chance. “I promise you we would run a minority government a hell of a lot better than we did last time,” Bennett said. Spark, who said she admires Ben-

nett, later told Peace Arch News the federal Liberals “seem to have lost their way.” “I’m very frustrated at the moment,” she said. Spark described Tuesday’s event as “a good exercise,” but not enough. “It’s a tiny exercise in a very large world,” she said. “There should be a process, a real outlet, all the time to gather this stuff. We do have to have more of a community voice, that’s for sure.” Edge made a similar point. She told attendees too many people don’t take opportunities to voice their concerns. “There’s less people turning out to vote, young people don’t even bother, and yet we all sit around between elections complaining,” Edge said. “You just have to be the dripping tap.” Liberal candidates – Langley lawyer Rebecca Darnell and retired Olympic snowboarder Ross Rebagliat (running in OkanaganCoquihalla) – also attended.

Six people are facing charges under the Fishery Act, following a seizure of illegally harvested horse clams near the Peace Arch Sunday. The group was cited by fishery officers midday July 11, after surveillance on a group that included children. The six facing charges – possession of illegal clams and harvesting from a contaminated area – are all adults, fishery officer Neil Jensen said. Jensen noted more individuals caught poaching are exhibiting behaviour that suggests they are aware the activity is illegal. Fishery officers are noting counter-surveillance techniques.

Fish kill natural Thousands of tiny, dead fish littered White Rock beach from the west-side boat launch to at least the pier Saturday afternoon. But fisheries officials are confident the mass demise is not the result of any spill or other environmental concern. It happens nearly every year when the weather gets hot, said Neil Jensen, field supervisor at Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s Fraser Valley West Detachment.

‘A fantastic service to community’ from page 1 The 21st century traveller plans on-the-go, she said, often choosing where to stay and what to do based on information they can glean from one click of a button. Albornoz said she sees the trend firsthand every time she’s at the waterfront tourism kiosk. One in three people are using their mobiles – and not to talk, she noted Wednesday, Herlihy saw a rollerblader checking his iPhone as he bladed along Marine Drive. “Everybody is on their mobile

devices,” the Peninsula resident said. The privately funded network was installed along the beach by Blue Jamb at a cost of about $55,000. Businesses hosting access points provide the Internet connection in exchange for the opportunity to market themselves within the mobile space. Each of the 14 hotspots can hit up to 21 cellphones simultaneously. Network software ensures no user receives the same content twice, Herlihy noted. And, as it is permission-based, no one is

forced to receive the content. Right now, those with Bluetooth-enabled devices who take advantage of prompts inviting them to view promotional videos will learn about events including this weekend’s Tour de White Rock and the July 30 outdoor movie. Albornoz described the network as a “fantastic service to the community, to bring that content to people who may otherwise have not seen it.” “It’s a win-win opportunity for everybody,” she said.

editorial

No blaming First Nation if park closes he Semiahmoo First Nation has certainly been patient. For years, its members have opened a portion of their land to the public, giving beach-goers an opportunity to enjoy the shores east of White Rock beach, stroll through Semiahmoo Park and take in live entertainment at the bandstand. The area offers a quieter, withdrawn alternative to its bustling, businessheavy East Beach and West Beach neighbours. Unfortunately, what should have been considered a gift from the Semiahmoo people is now being treated as a right. Testing their patience, band members have long accepted, without much public comment, dog owners who treat the site as an off-leash park, with too many neglecting to clean up after their pets, leaving behind an unsightly, unsanitary mess. SFN councillor Joanne Charles quantified the situation when she said volunteers picked up around 20 pounds of dog waste in the park in preparation for last week’s Salish Sea Journey canoe event, an otherwise successful celebration that shared culture and experience with invited guests. Before the celebration’s end, however, some dog owners demonstrated they are accustomed to – if not reliant on – using the land for their canines’ needs; they ignored fencing and signage erected to indicate the park’s closure for the event. What should have been an emotional experience filled with pride and acceptance got mired in other feelings for these stewards of the land, as well. Likely, impatience. No doubt, frustration. Now, Charles said, band members are seriously considering closing the park to outsiders altogether. And who could blame them? Voicing this may be the only way to get people to listen. Just as a child is taught by a parent, it is hoped selfish park users will realize the privilege they have had, and what they could lose, before it is taken away. Semiahmoo First Nation has been more patient than most landowners would be under these circumstances. Those who have tested this patience – whether through ignorance or willful disobedience – are the ones who have failed.

complain about it. Every year, I threaten to retire if I go another season without a round-tripper. Now, back to that Sunday, where my team found itself in the championship game of our annual Canada Day weekend tournament. My first at-bat, I lined a single to left field. When my turn in the order came up again, I grabbed a bat and headed out of the dugout. “Last chance,” my brother said to me, as I was scheduled to sit the second half of the game. On the first pitch – a real beauty – I strained myself a little too much, and my mighty hack resulted in a foul ball that travelled a grand total of about 10 feet. And then, the second pitch… well, you can probably guess what happened. Columns aren’t written about pop flies. As soon as I made contact, I knew it had a chance, but it wasn’t until I heard the cheers that I knew for sure it was gone. Outta here. As I rounded the bases – slowly, milking the moment for all it was worth – the opposing first baseman gave me a high-five. Second base, too. And as I approached the shortstop on my fourbase victory tour, he said, “Gee, those guys sure are proud of you.” That’s when I turned to look back at my teammates. Every last one of them had come out of the dugout, and were cheering at home plate, celebrating with me a hit that took 29 years to clear the fence. Try fitting that in a trophy case.

Beach has gone to pot Editor: Re: Online question, July 9, 14. In regard to your question of the week – “Will you be seen on White Rock beach this summer?” – I offer the following reply: Will I have to put up with all the flagrant law-breaking and violations that go on there? On Saturday, July 3, I was enjoying the weather and a good book when I heard the all-too-common roar of bikes. Said bikers proceeded to park illegally in the boat-launch area, go down onto the beach, crack open some beer and then the acrid smell of pot came to my nostrils. Lovely. Not a bylaw-enforcement officer or RCMP officer in sight. Then, the following Wednesday, as I sat on a bench by the white rock, my nose was again assailed by the smell of weed. I looked over and saw a group of young people indulging in the “hippie herb.” On my way to getting out of there, I passed another pair of young men smoking pot and drinking beer right by the info booth. This was all wide open in broad daylight. I haven’t even mentioned the number of tobacco smokers, dogs, cyclists and every other kind of scofflaw that seem to take advantage of the poor enforcement. So, to answer the question, I shall think long and hard about it and perhaps try to choose times when I think those who thumb their noses at laws might not be so numerous. G. Harrison, White Rock

South Surrey residents. I’m not advocating keeping out younger families; I am advocating creating reasonably priced, livable housing that could be used by young families and retirees alike. To do this, we need to start a dialogue that includes all of us – young and old, rich and poor – who want to maintain the qualities that lured us here in the first place, get rid of the slum landlords and build reasonably priced, livable housing that will endure. The solution is not White Rock, and it’s not Surrey. I’m asking that we start thinking outside the box. Erika Johanson, Surrey Q I continue to read the pros and cons written about our cherished City of White Rock, including the negative comments made by Surrey resident Bob Cooper. Firstly, uptown White Rock has been in a state of chaos for a few years now due to Bosa’s big dream scheme, which never did complete. And now Semiahmoo Shopping Centre has been sold to a new developer, so I suspect there will be no closure anytime soon. Secondly, it was Bosa that required some of our uptown commercial stores – including Buy-Low – to be relocated, which left us scrambling to compensate for our commercial losses that continue today. Thirdly, Shoppers Drug Mart is relocating across the street because they have to move outward not upward, and White Rock simply does not have the space.

Finally, why would White Rock want to build more department stores when it has all the shopping residents need within arm’s reach? All you need to do is take a drive to Grandview where you can shop to your heart’s desire. Or, if it is more development you seek, take a drive down King George, where you can see all the beautiful trees stripped away one by one to make room for development. As far as building industrial land in White Rock, I will not even justify that with a comment. For years, White Rock has been known for its peace and serenity. It’s better than the rat race we now live in, where everyone is plugged in all the time. I choose peace and serenity over technology any day. White Rock is in a state of transition. What it should do now is demand all uptown storefronts be cleaned up to look presentable with the new development taking place. It should also ensure businesses not have products strewn outside their storefronts. White Rock should tap into its natural resources, such as bringing Sandcastle Days back to the beach. In an April 16 news article, Coun. Doug McLean stated: “Marine Drive continues to be a destination for visitors.” So why, then, are we not utilizing our train station that was built for that very purpose? Where else in the Lower Mainland can you have a train station in the heart of your city? Would Marine Drive businesses not flourish if visitors did not have to pay for

parking? Would we all not benefit if we were able to travel to Vancouver via rail rather than be dependent on TransLink, which continues to cut our services and increase our costs? Sure it may take a while to get the wheels in motion, but in the long run it is beneficial to us all. Cheryl Berti, White Rock

Political lesson lessens respect Editor: Re: Democracy inaction, July 7 letters. Thank you, Helen Cunningham, for such an informative letter. Political letters aren’t usually my favourites, because they can get pretty involved and ambiguous, however I found hers to be enlightening and so easy to follow. Which started me thinking… the part that said “the provincial government originally sustained themselves primarily through management of natural resources.” I didn’t know that. I think back to the Expo lands which were sold dirt cheap, and about the natural gas that we sell to the U.S. Then we pay more and more for our gasoline, which we supposedly have as a resource, as well. Mismanagement is an understatement in that case. So now I have less respect than ever for politicians. D. Barros, White Rock

Solutions for Semiahmoo Editor: Re: As the Semiahmoo Peninsula turns, July 9 letters. (Editor’s note: The author of a previous letter responds to a writer who suggested it appeared she’d like to put a fence around the Peninsula.) Dear Bob, Let me introduce myself. I am a 55-year-old ‘lady-bloomer’ who cannot afford to purchase anything on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, and who has no rich uncle wanting to leave me his fortune. My choices have been: • to live in a run-down ‘tear-down’ in Surrey, which the owners would not fix were it not for me taking them to the Residential Tenancy Office; • to live in someone’s basement; or, • to live in one of many apartment units that are also not maintained. I don’t think it extravagant to want to fit my bed, nightstand and dresser in one bedroom – forget finding a place that allows cats! I moved to the area because it was quiet, safe and easy to navigate. With the new complexes being built on the Peninsula – courtesy of Surrey’s building code – criminal activity has increased and traffic is insane. To reiterate, the status quo is not working. In fact, it’s making things worse for both White Rock and

Don’t blame medical staff for this summer’s reductions in elective surgeries, writes union leader Debra McPherson.

Minister bypasses responsibility Editor: Re: Staff vacations delay surgeries: Falcon, July 14. How utterly disappointing it is to see our minister of health blaming health-care workers for surgery delays and OR closures in the Fraser Health Authority. Bad enough that health-care workers in the FHA are already suffering from layoffs and seeing the quality of care decrease in their communities. Now Kevin Falcon wants them to shoulder the blame for the real cause of the problem, inadequate funding for health authorities. The fact is, Falcon’s ministry has demanded $160 million worth of FHA budget reductions for this coming fiscal year alone. FHA itself says surgical programs across the region were given a clear mandate to reduce their total budget by 14 per cent. Extra surgical slate closures this summer are a direct result. The public might also be interested in learning that hospital foundations and auxiliaries in FHA were asked to help cover core costs, such as surgical implants, due

to funding shortfalls. What a shameful state of affairs. There is another reason for the minister not to address honestly the real cause of the lack of access to surgeries. Increased OR closures will help create the public demand which he needs to implement his solution. Falcon’s pay-for-performance surgery funding schemes will be rolling out in the coming year. These programs are designed to churn patients through surgeries as fast as possible. The faster the surgeries, the more money hospitals or profit-driven private clinics will receive. It may work in assembly lines, but B.C.’s nurses have real concerns about the possible risks of such programs in the provision of health care. So stop pointing fingers at the much-needed and hard-earned vacations of nurses and others, Mr. Minister, and tell the public the truth about the current funding and your future plans for their surgical treatments.

No changes to White Rock’s garbage and recycling pickup in the works yet

SEMIAHMOO ROOFING LTD

Waste-reduction plan to test city Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

Changes to garbage-collection services could be on their way to White Rock in order for the city to meet “very aggressive” waste-reduction targets within the next five years. Acting director of engineering and municipal operations Rob Thompson presented Metro Vancouver’s Draft Integrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan to council Monday, ❝As we all know, recommending with garbage council support pickup… everyone the proposal. Included are expects it to be four main goals: done.❞ to minimize waste Coun. Doug McLean generation; to maximize reuse, recycling and material recovery; to recover energy from waste stream after material recycling; and to dispose of all remaining waste in the landfill, after recycling and energy recovery. Metro Vancouver’s target diversion rate – the amount of material kept out of the landfill – is 70 per cent by 2015, up from the current 55 per cent. According to Thompson, that target means substantial changes in waste management for White Rock citizens and business owners. “Currently, our city diverts 37 per cent and sends 67 per cent of our waste to the landfill,” he said. “That means we have to cut our material we send to the landfill by half. It’s a very aggressive target, but we

City of White Rock officials hope more waste ends up in recycling bins, and less in garbage bins like the one shown here. have to do it.” In addition to recycling, Thompson said that separating out organic material “will play a critical roll in achieving the 70 per cent diversion rate.” While no specific changes to garbage and recycling pickup are in the works yet for White Rock, Thompson said that with separation of organic materials would

come the need for more frequent pickups. “To separate out organics… by implication means we would have to increase the rate of pickup,” he said, adding that as a result, more vehicles and labour resources would be needed. However, Thompson also said that less material sent for treatment would mean less tipping fees paid by the city, noting that current tipping fees are more than $80 per tonne and expected to increase up to $120 per tonne in the next few years. “By picking up the pace of pickup and achieving the targets established for us, we will be reducing the material that goes for treatment by 50 per cent,” he said. “As a result… we may be able to hold our costs at even where they are now, or even potentially reduce them.” Though council voted in favour of supporting the draft plan, Coun. Doug McLean expressed concern about implementing changes to the city’s waste-collection program. “We’ll have to do quite a bit of communication,” he said. “As we all know, with garbage pickup… everyone expects it to be done.” The draft plan includes a specific communications component, according to Thompson, which he said will help the city inform and engage the public before any parts of the plan are implemented. Thompson said city staff forwarded council’s support of the draft plan to Metro Vancouver on Tuesday (see page 22) and are now preparing a solid waste management plan for White Rock which will be presented to council in the fall.

Questions tax real estate board Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

White Rock city council offered more questions than answers to a delegation from the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board Monday. Sergio Tassori represented the board, requesting council’s support in lobbying the federal government for capital gains tax rollovers on the sale of investment properties. “Many Canadians are reluctant to sell their investment properties due to this tax,” Tassori said. “Most people are left with less equity and are unable to buy a property of equal value when they do sell their existing property.” Rather than deciding whether

to pledge support for the board’s lobby – which Tassori said already has the support of the Union of B.C. Municipalities, Langley, Abbotsford, Delta and several other organizations – council requested more detailed information. “It would be difficult for us to support something like this unless we have the total amount that would be lost by provincial and federal governments in the income tax system from this proposal, and what their alternative to that would be,” Coun. Doug McLean said. In addition to the question of tax revenue, council also brought up the controversial harmonized sales tax.

“I’m not being facetious – do you have a position on HST as well?” Coun. Lynne Sinclair asked Tassori, who responded that he wasn’t prepared to discuss the HST on behalf of the board. “The board would have a position, I just don’t have the answer with me right now,” he responded, adding that he would be happy to forward a response to Sinclair’s question onto council. Tassori also said he would provide council with more detailed information about the tax revenue losses for the provincial and federal governments, as well as a full list of organizations that have pledged their support to the board.

ine years after retiring from her teaching career, Joanne Cunningham can still be found in the classroom – this time, as a student. At 74 years old, Cunningham is just one of hundreds who participate in Third Age Learning Kwantlen (TALK), a program she started 11 years ago to provide educational courses to people 50 and over. The South Surrey resident began researching the concept in 1998, after learning about offerings elsewhere, such as the Minerva Senior Studies Institute in Edmonton and the Institute for Learning in Retirement in the U.S. “I thought, ‘I wish we had one here.’” Kwantlen Polytechnic University, where Cunningham was teaching at the time, granted her a leave of absence to research the idea further. “They were keen to look into it,” she said. “I went to Institute for Learning in Retirement conferences to see how other people did it and came back thinking we’d just do it our own way.” Cunningham formed a steering committee made up mostly of retired Kwantlen administrators, and held an open

“They can just sit there and say nothing the whole time,” she said. “It’s not a threatening environment at all.” TALK also offers regular Philosopher’s Cafés, in which members of the public can listen to or engage in conversations about various topics, from ‘What would be “a perfect human”’ to ‘What basic assumption underpins your philosophy of life?’ The cafés are held at ABC Country Restaurant, 2160 King George Blvd. – another group is planned to start up in Richmond – at 11:30 a.m., with admission on a first-come first-served basis and suggested minimum $2 donation. Cunningham, who has a master’s degree in adult education, said she is proud of how the program has evolved and to see classrooms dedicated to seniors who have a yearning to learn, much like herself. “I’m not a raging intellectual or anything, I just like to learn,” she said. “You meet new people. you learn something, and it’s really quite fun.” Registration for fall courses will open late August-early September.

PAHCHF executive director Jackie Smith, holding a $250,000 cheque, is surrounded by members of the Rotary Club of White Rock.

Rotary gives $250,000 Rotary Club of White Rock has made a significant contribution to Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation’s $32-million Partners in Caring Campaign, donating $250,000. “We are so very proud to contribute to the health of our community, enriching the lives of our citizens,” Christine Fortin, the club’s community service director, said in a release. The funds will be directed to the Centre for Active Living, an 18,000-square-foot building being constructed in Centennial Park, 14600 North Bluff Rd. The $6.5-million project will be an expansion of Peace Arch Hospital’s cardiac rehabilitation program. The centre will include two new fit-

ness rooms, two exercise studios and an education room. “We are very grateful for all the support the Rotary Club of White Rock membership has given to our foundation to support health care in our community of White Rock over the past several years,” said Jackie Smith, executive director of the foundation. “They are an incredibly dedicated group of individuals who by making this gift have committed to giving thousands of people an opportunity to live better and healthier lives through access to this one-of-a-kind facility.” The foundation has committed to raising $4.4 million towards the total cost of the project; to date, $3.28 million has been raised.

‘Knitted graffiti’ trend could strike Peninsula Alex Browne Arts Reporter

There’s a quiet revolution that has been happening all over the world over the last decade – guerilla knitting. And while the most radical form, knitted graffiti, or ‘yarn bombing’ – which has given wildly-coloured coverings to tree trunks in Texas and New York, scarves, mittens and ties to statues of former ❝Everybody gets leaders in turned off machine- Moscow made things ...❞ and Stockholm, Carmen Tilcock and knitter brightened otherwise drab items like subway cars and door handles from London to Sydney – has yet to make it to the Semiahmoo Peninsula, it could be just around the corner. That’s the word from Carmen Tilcock of the White Rock Knitters, an informal group that gathers every Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. White Rock Library to compare needles and yarn, discuss projects and – mainly – knit yards of fuzzy fabric. With some 10 members and a varying core of five to seven regulars at each drop in, the group, which started two years ago, has been growing steadily at the library. When the Peace Arch News caught up with them last month, a core group was staging an

White Rock Knitters descended upon Home Depot last month as part of Worldwide Knit In Public Week, including members (left to right) Frances MacLeod, Jill Dobrinsky, Carmen Tilcock and Marguerite Mitchell. informal ‘knit-in’ in the garden furniture section at South Surrey’s Home Depot store to celebrate Worldwide Knit In Public Day. It’s not such an unusual location in the group’s quest for a higher – if not particularly aggressive – profile, Tilcock explained.

“I’m here quite a lot, while my husband is off looking at the power tools,” she said, her needles clicking away on a sweater. “I can sit and knit without even looking at it,” she said. Very often the sound of needles at work is the loudest the group

gets and members agreed that part of the appeal of the activity is its meditative and soothing nature. But the act of knitting by hand also has its political side. “A lot of people are knitting – it’s a bit of a backlash against technology,” core member Frances

MacLeod said. “Everybody’s getting turned off machine-made things – they’re looking for quality hand-made,” Tilcock added. Many of the members are of a generation that grew up, like Tilcock, coming from “a long lineage of knitters.” Others, like Marguerite Mitchell, are rediscovering skills from earlier in their lives. “My sister taught me to me to knit when I was six, and I knitted up to my late 20s, but I hadn’t knit for 20 years until I heard about the group and decided to start again. “It’s a great excuse for shopping – whenever my daughter visits, we have to hit the wool stores.” It doesn’t have to be a costly hobby, either, Tilcock noted – while some yarns can be expensive, it’s possible to get started with needles from a dollar store and a $2 skein of wool. It’s not even necessary to know how to knit to join the group, noted Jill Dobrinsky, one of the newest members. “When I first came in I’d never knitted before,” she said. “Now I’m on my second project. The group was very welcoming – and they’ve been teaching me about wools and stitches. I surprised my parents when they came to visit from Winnipeg – they couldn’t believe that I was knitting.”

news Vancouver aims to delete incineration option

Cities split on Metro garbage debate Jeff Nagel Black Press

Metro Vancouver’s two biggest cities are coming down on opposite ends of the contentious debate over stepped-up garbage incineration. Vancouver city council opposes burning more garbage and voted last week to table an amendment to Metro’s proposed solid waste plan that would eliminate incineration or combustion from the menu of allowed waste-toenergy technologies. That would exclude a new mass burn plant like the existing one in Burnaby but may leave the door open to other less proven alternatives like gasification. Vancouver also wants Metro to set new targets to reduce the average amount of waste each resident generates and to ban all wood and organic waste from both landfills and incinerators. “The priority is to have less garbage at the end of the day,” Vancouver Coun. Heather Deal said, adding all of the proposed amendments “push us in that direction.” Surrey city administrators, meanwhile, have concluded wasteto-energy is a “viable in-region solution” but caution it has stoked much public opposition. Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt says he has no concerns about emissions from an incinerator and will be trying to determine whether Vancouver has scientific evidence for opposing combustion or whether that council is simply “playing politics” to fit its green

Metro Vancouver’s debate over sending garbage to landfills, like the one in Cache Creek (left), or to wasteto-energy incineration plants, like the existing one in Burnaby (right), is ongoing. image. Port Moody council also wants to block combustion or incineration and tighten the targets for improved recycling. Surrey, Vancouver, Coquitlam and some other cities agree that any move towards waste-to-energy should be subject to an open market call for bids to determine the costs and viability of building a new waste-fired plant or plants at specific sites – as well as alternatives like landfilling. The Vancouver report says there’s “considerable risk” Metro consultants may have overestimated the revenues from a district heating system that led Metro to conclude a new wasteto-energy could operate at a small net profit. That calculation underpins what Metro claims is a $1.5-billion difference over 35 years in

the costs of landfilling versus an in-region publicly owned incinerator. Metro also assumes that by sending heat from the plant to the district heating network, other nearby buildings or industries won’t have to burn fuel and as a result there will be no net increase in most air pollutants. The Fraser Valley Regional District has already voted unanimously to oppose waste incinerationg. The construction of a $470-million waste-to-energy plant in the region is Metro’s preferred option to deal with up to 500,000 tonnes of additional garbage per year that can’t be recycled. If that option is blocked, the plan would be to pursue an out-of-region incinerator, possibly one already proposed on the west

coast of Vancouver Island. If neither is possible, Metro would keep landfilling the additional waste – presumably at the Cache Creek regional landfill, which recently got approval from the province to expand. The draft plan would commit the region to boost its recycling rate from 55 per cent to 70 per cent by 2015. Metro’s waste management committee will debate possible changes to the plan July 21 before the board votes July 30. “Hopefully the committee can agree on what the recommendations should be before it goes to the board,” said Metro board chair Lois Jackson. Once a plan is passed, it must still be approved by Environment Minister Barry Penner. If he objects, Penner could send the

plan back for changes or he could simply amend the plan himself. If a plan allowing increased incineration is approved, a specific new plant would still need environmental approval and could be rejected by Penner at that point. Jackson said she believes the region should be allowed to move forward on the full range of potential waste-to-energy options. “I hope all the councillors are well-informed about the technologies,” she said, adding that after months of study and public meetings there should be no excuse to ask for delays or more studies. A Vancouver staff report also shows that city wants to retain its current control over the Vancouver Landfill in Burns Bog, although it is prepared to negotiate a timetable with Delta for a gradual decline in the maximum annual amount dumped there. The landfill currently can take 750,000 tonnes per year, while the existing Burnaby waste-to-energy plant takes about 280,000 tonnes per year. The Surrey report recommends against setting a target of recycling more than 70 per cent, noting some composite materials and products can’t practically be recycled and recyclers themselves often leave behind some waste residue. Vancouver and Surrey hold the most votes at the Metro board table, followed by Burnaby and Richmond.

ble for things like worker safety. He points to the case of an Ontario couple who hired two men to refinish their hardwood floors. It was the dead of winter and the duo kept the windows closed up. One of the workers stepped back and lit a cigarette, detonating the flammable fumes that had filled the room. “They were both blown right through the window and one of them died,” Simpson said, adding the couple is now being sued because the workers weren’t covered under worker’s compensation. “If somebody falls off a ladder or drops something on their foot on the property, they’ll look to you to get compensated.” The home builders’ organization is lobbying the federal and provincial governments to create a permanent tax rebate for home renovations. Home renovations in Metro Vancouver account for 31,000 jobs and $1.6 billion in wages annually. The total value of all home renovations performed last year in Metro Vancouver was estimated at $3.7 billion. Simpson said at least 30 per cent of that is believed to be underground.

Spending cuts reduce deficit VICTORIA – The B.C. government’s operating deficit for 200910 came in almost $1 billion lower than expected in its postelection forecast, thanks mostly to spending cuts in areas other than health care and education. Finance Minister Colin Hansen revealed the audited public accounts at the B.C. legislature last week, showing a deficit of $1.8 billion for the fiscal year ending March 31. That’s still almost four times the size of the deficit promised by Hansen and Premier Gordon Campbell during last spring’s election campaign, when provincial revenues were plunging due to a worldwide financial crisis. Hansen said the deficit for the past year ended up $996 million smaller than expected, but with volatile commodity prices and uncertainty in the U.S. economy, he is sticking to his plan that the province will be back in surplus again by the 2013-14 fiscal year. That would mean the

The government’s latest budget in February projects another deficit of $1.7 billion for the current year, which would have been higher except for transition funding from Ottawa for signing on to the harmonized sales tax.

ening” allowed the government to cut program spending by $833 million, compared to estimates made in September 2009. The forests ministry budget is cut six per cent over three years, and overall the government expects total civil service employment to drop by 3,500 full-time positions over three years, or about 10 per cent of the workforce. Most reductions are to be positions left unfilled when people quit or retire, but in its February budget the government expected up to 1,000 layoffs. NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston had no comment on the reduced spending, or whether the opposition would reverse the cancelled sports, arts and other grant programs that went into it over the past year. He said the key issue is that the B.C. Liberals have no plan to bring the economy out of recession and improve employment. “Really all they’ve offered since the election is a very unpopular HST tax,” Ralston said. “That’s been their economic plan so far.”

Construction cuts speed limits on Highway 1 Jeff Nagel Black Press

Highway 1 speed limits are being reduced for the next three years between Vancouver and Langley as construction work intensifies to widen the freeway to 10 lanes, reconstruct interchanges and build the new Port Mann Bridge. The new construction speed limits take effect Monday July 19. Drivers must not exceed 70 km/h – instead of the usual 100 – between the Cassiar Tunnel in Vancouver and Grandview Highway in Burnaby and 80 km/h between Grandview Highway and 208 Street in Langley. The lower 70 km/h limit in the Vancouver-Burnaby stretch is

I am very happy in my second marriage of 20 Q years. I have a will that gives everything to my wife, but if she predeceases me, my estate goes to my children. She has done an identical will but if I die before her, her whole estate goes to her children. In order to make probate easier, we have put all our assets in joint names with the right of survivorship. Do you see any problems with this planning? There are so many consequences of your approach that I will devote two or three columns to the issues raised by your question. The Àrst issue was addressed in the July 2nd issue of the Peace Arch News. Second issue: “... I have a will that gives everything to my wife.” This provides no protection to your children in the event that you die before your second wife. She can change her will either before or after your death to provide that her children receive her whole estate. She can re-marry which makes her old will invalid. She can acquire a common-law spouse who has rights against her estate under the Wills Variation Act. The possibilities are manifold, but the real message is that your present will does not guarantee that your children will recieve any part of your estate after you die.

208 to 216 streets remains 100 km/h until crews reach that area. Motorists are reminded traffic fines are double in construction zones and new speed signs are being installed along the 37-kilometre corridor. The $2.46-billion Highway 1 project is about 25 per cent finished and slated for completion late in 2013, although the new tolled Port Mann Bridge is to open by the end of 2012. Work on the new bridge has become more visible in recent weeks, with pre-cast concrete deck sections now being placed on the south approach. HOV lane restrictions are eliminated overnight on the corridor to

help motorists cope with closures. Access to Highway 1 from the 152 Street interchange in Surrey is also getting more restricted. As of July 26, the 110 Avenue westbound on-ramp will be permanently closed – motorists coming from Fraser Heights will instead have to use the 160 Street interchange. The lane closure is to allow construction of new Surrey-Coquitlam “local-connection” lanes that will be separated from the adjacent Highway 1 through-traffic lanes. There are traffic pattern changes coming on United Boulevard in Coquitlam and at Willingdon in Burnaby. For more information, see www.pmh1project.com.

news Fraser sockeye to be branded sustainable

Groups rail against fishy salmon decision Jeff Nagel Black Press

An adjudicator has swiftly overruled objections from environmental groups and paved the way for Fraser River sockeye salmon to be certified as a sustainable seafood source. The Marine Stewardship Council said it expects to soon certify the fishery – an outcome conservation groups consider bizarre in light of the collapse in Fraser sockeye stocks over the past two years and the federal inquiry now probing the causes. The MSC said although scientists are uncertain as to the cause for low returns, there is “general agreement that commercial fishing pressure is not the cause.” Certification would mean Fraser sockeye products would carry the MSC seal of

approval, telling buyers the salmon comes from healthy stocks that are sustainably harvested without damage to the marine ecosystem. “This certification could actually result in well-intentioned consumers buying an endangered Fraser River sockeye with an eco-label on it,” said Jeffrey Young, aquatic biologist with the David Suzuki Foundation, one of three groups that opposed the certification. The adjudicator who heard the concerns acknowledged there were many “complicated and difficult questions” surrounding the fishery before dismissing the concerns. At a minimum, conservationists say, MSC should wait until after the Cohen Commission into Fraser sockeye hands down its

findings and work begins to rebuild threatened stocks. Watershed Watch Salmon Society ecologist Aaron Hill said the international body’s credibility will be “shot” if it proceeds, but adds he did not hold out much hope of a better outcome. The MSC has never before failed a fishery after it has completed the full assessment. “It’s a rigged process,” Hill said, adding the organization’s goal is to increase market penetration for its brand and the certifiers it relies on are hired and paid directly by industry. The groups say eco-certification could be a valuable tool to reward fishermen and areas with good management, but handing it out willy-nilly renders it meaningless.

More than 10 million Fraser sockeye were expected to return last year, but just 1.4 million materialized. The MSC has already certified sockeye from the Skeena and Nass rivers and Barkley Sound. B.C. harvesters have found themselves increasingly at a disadvantage compared to producers in Alaska, where salmon has been MSC-certified for several years. Buyers increasingly insist on buying only certified salmon. Fraser sockeye fisheries have been closed six out of the past 11 years due to poor returns. The Cultus and Sakinaw lakes runs are so low, in fact, they are listed as critically endangered species.

arts & entertainment Music students to take the stage at Five Corners Saturday

Talent brewing on beach Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

Amidst all the thrills and spills of this weekend’s Tour de White Rock will be a chance to catch performances by some of the Peninsula’s up-and-coming young musicians. Students from the Todd Brewer School of Music’s Rock Band program will take to the stage at Five Corners Saturday to show off their chops, which Brewer expects will impress “There’s a cute factor, because they’re younger,” he said. “But there’s also a talent level there that kind of surprises people.” Crowds can expect a wide range of musical styles from the youngsters, Brewer said, including covers of artists from Taylor Swift to AC/DC. Twelve-year-old guitar player/singer Evan Were, who Brewer described as a “prodigy,” will be among the youngest to perform between 12 and 2:30 p.m. One of the music school’s longeststanding students, Jeff McClennan, will showcase his band, as will Curtis Heimburger, Rachel Li, Emily St. Cyr and Jaeda Sheena, a first-year drum student who recently debuted at the Wheelhouse Theatre. “A lot of these students that we have coming into the school have never played an instrument before,” Brewer said.

Up-and-coming talent featured at arts festival Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

Artists from across Canada are gathered on the Peninsula to showcase their work at the 37th annual Arnold Mikelson Festival of the Arts. The popular festival, set in three acres of a South Surrey garden, opened last weekend at the Mind and Matter Gallery to good crowds, according to organizer Mary Mikelson. “We had a very good turnout and the artists did well,” she said. “Everyone was pretty happy and we’re hoping this coming weekend will be just as good.” The festival showcases more than 100 artists each year, featuring a variety of mediums including woodworking, stone ❝If you don’t give sculpture, paintings, stained them a chance, glass and metal art. “Metal art is really making how are they a comeback,” Mikelson going to become said. “For some reason, artists weren’t doing it for a established long time, but now they’re artists.❞ starting to do it again.” Mary Mikelson Mikelson said festivalfestival organizer goers can expect to see the work of familiar names such as popular watercolour artists Carmel Clare and Joseph Chiang, sculptor Nathan Scott and local potter Vivian McMillan. In addition to showcasing the work of some of the country’s more wellestablished artists, Mikelson also features some new, up-and-coming artists – something she strives to do at the festival each year. “The festival is for both established and upcoming artists – I always try to do half and half,” she said. “If you don’t give them a chance, how are they going to become established artists?” With the festival in its 37th year, Mikelson said it is more popular with each passing year, with attendees coming from outside the Lower Mainland, and artists making the trek from as far away as Quebec. “It used to be just local artists, but now we get artists from all across Canada,” she said. She attributes the festival’s popularity in part to the quality and variety of art available, but also the atmosphere that being in a peaceful garden setting creates. “The place is just unbelievable, having all the art in the beautiful garden,” she said. “There’s no other show like it – if you come once, you’ll never miss a show again.” The Arnold Mikelson Festival of the Arts continues July 17 and 18, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., at 13743 16 Ave. For more information, visit www. mindandmatterart.com

dealing with issues,” said Sandhu. “There’s requests for extras. In a usual game, we have 23 towels for each team in their dressing room. For the England/Slovenia game, we handed out more than 100, we ran out of towels.” And there were some very unusual requests, all of which were to be granted without question. “Greece wanted room-temperature water 10 minutes before the game,” he said. “So I put 40 water bottles under the showers to fill them. I was soaked, but it got done. “And Ivory Coast wanted tea, also 10 minutes before a game. I had to race upstairs to catering, and find a jug of hot water and some tea bags.” After the games, the volunteer group see page 32

For established riders and up-andcomers alike, this weekend’s Tour de White Rock provides something more than a challenge or a chance at the podium – it’s an opportunity. For a handful of top Canadian riders, B.C. Superweek races – the Tour de Delta was last weekend – offer a chance to impress Team Canada brass, who are currently assessing candidates to compete in a pair of new races in Quebec, both of which are part of the prestigious UCI Pro Tour. Canadian time-trial champion Svein Tuft and his Garmin-Transitions teammate Christian Meier – both of whom will race this weekend in White Rock – are set for the Quebec races, as they ride at the Pro Tour level already in Europe. Top contenders for the men’s team include a handful of cyclists whose names should be familiar to Tour de White Rock devotees – Will Routley and Andrew Pinfold (both from the United Healthcare team), Ryan Anderson (Kelly Benefit Strategies) and Rob Britton (Bissell Pro Cycling). Though riders like Anderson, who wore the King of the Mountain jersey for two days at a Tour of California race in May, have plenty of big-event experience, all of them realize the importance of putting on a good show here this weekend. “Definitely, the (Canadian Cycling Association) looks at it because there are a handful of guys that are on the long list,” Anderson said. “And with Svein and Christian being back here it adds even more credibility. So yeah, this is a good weekend for me and there’s a lot of Canadians here that can do the (Pro Tour) races.” Others looking to make a name for themselves are Garneau Evolution rider Jesse Reams – who finished just ahead of Tuft in last Sunday’s Delta road race – and 20-year-old Surrey native Cody Campbell, who rides for Lance Armstrong’s Trek-Livestrong development team. Both will be looking to earn a spot in the U23 time trial and road races at UCI Road World Championships, slated for Australia this fall. - Nick Greenizan

Those are the questions being posed by local company Try Events, which hosts the inaugural White Rock Stiletto Run Saturday, July 31, and a five-km beach run the next day. The stiletto race, held on Marine Drive, is a 100-m sprint, and prizes are to be

awarded to top male and female finishers. The prize package includes a digital camera and $100 Running Room gift card. A prize will also be awarded for best costume.

Sandhu impressed by Ivory Coast star from page 31 would clean up the dressing room areas as quickly as possible, so preparations for the next game could begin. “We had to give the teams their privacy, and give them some downtime,” said Sandhu. “But we also had to collect the FIFA equipment, like the pinnies. And we have to transport the team equipment to their bus. “And if a team was coming in the next day, all the towels had to go out to laundry that night.” The responsibilities led to long days and short nights, and although Sandhu isn’t sure he’d do it again, his four weeks in South Africa was an experience of a lifetime. A veteran youth soccer coach locally, Sandhu got to watch the planet’s best players compete at the highest level possible. And while watching World Cup games at ground level was a soccer fan’s dream, learning from their pre-game preparation was a bonus. “I was very impressed with South Korea and Japan,” Sandhu said. “They maximized their talent. You have to appreciate how far they’ve come, they are very disciplined and very structured.

“I watched South Korea practice their set plays for an hour and a half. And they got a goal out of it.” Sandhu was also on the sidelines during one of the more dramatic moments of the group stage of the tournament, when striker Didier Drogba of the Ivory Coast – who broke his arm in a pre-tournament game just days before the first game – came off the bench to warm-up prior to entering a game as a substitute during a scoreless tie with Portugal. “He was the most impressive, dynamic player I have met,” said Sandhu. “When he got up, the people started to cheer, and he starts waving his arms to get them to cheer even louder.” As the tournament hit the knockout stage, eliminated teams began heading home, as did many of the volunteers – including the group that Sandhu was working with. “I was most impressed with how FIFA organized everything,” he said. “As a volunteer, once you proved yourself, you earned the respect of FIFA officials. “And the venue team I worked with was excellent, they did an outstanding job.”

sports Nine swimmers combine for more than 40 medals at provincials

Sea Wolves fifth in B.C. By the time the Pacific Sea Wolves left Kamloops on Sunday, many team members couldn’t be faulted if they struggled to keep their heads up, so heavy were the many medals draped around their necks. Nine Sea Wolves collected a total of 42 medals at AAA provincials in the Tournament Capital of Canada last weekend, led by 13-year-old Edwin Zhao and 12-year-old Mason Lin, who each left town with nine. Zhao won eight golds among his nine medals – in disciplines ranging from freestyle to backstroke to individual medley – and added a silver in the 100-m butterfly. Lin had seven golds – including three in

freestyle events – while adding silver in 100 fly and bronze in 100 free. Overall, the club finished fifth, and Zhao was awarded a regional athlete award for his performance. In the 11-year-old girls division, Esmee Smit-Anseeuw finished with seven medals, including gold in the 200 breaststroke, 200 free and 400 IM. She also scooped two silvers and two bronze medals. Darren Yuan, 13, won gold in the 100 fly and both the 50 and 100 free; silver in the 200 fly and bronze in the 200 free and 400 IM. David Zhang, meanwhile, scored silver in the 100 free and

bronze in 50 free and 100 fly. Olivvya Chow, 15, claimed three bronze medals – in 100 and 200 breast and 400 IM. Lydia Doyon, 12, won silver in the 400 free and Isabelle Koch, 12, took bronze in the 100 breast. Rounding out the podium finishers was Aksel SmitAnseeuw, 13, who nabbed silver in the 200 back and bronze in the 100 back. In addition, a handful of other PSW advanced to various finals, including Ariana Aktary, Madi Chow, Darian Fry, Cameron Keresztes, Victoria Luan, Lynnaea Mulligan, Vanessa Rivas, Marija Robinson, Lauran Stoten and Jill Xu.

Passed away peacefully in the arms of her husband on July 10 after a short but painful battle with cancer. Terry will be sadly and lovingly missed by her husband Mike, her daughters Patricia (Jim), and grandchildren Melana and Michael; Lynn (Taras) and grandchildren Larissa and Alexander; Carol and grandson Isaiah; and son Michael (Nancy) and grandchildren Marquisa and Nicholas. As well, she will be missed by her siblings Margaret, Marie (Bert), Stephanie (Steve), Mikey (Bruce), Tom es Harry voic(Natalie), (Mabel), Angie (Bernie) and John (Judy),more and heronline extended thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Âť Zrymiak family. She will also be missed by her many golfing, hiking, church, airforce and Phoenix friends and by the neighbours in her community. She was predeceased by her parents Mike and Rose and by two sisters Janet and Joesephine. Terryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sunny disposition endeared her to everyone she met. She was important in her childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives and could be depended upon for advice or a good talk, and was always willing to accompany them for many adventures. She enjoyed her grandchildren immensely and often invited them for sleepovers. Terry had many interests: cooking, travelling, gardening, and painting were but a few. She loved her Ukrainian heritage and upheld many of the traditions. She was an active and cheerful volunteer in her church and community. Terry and Mike had just celebrated 53 years of marriage. She was taken from us very suddenly and will be missed by many aching hearts. Visitations followed by a Prayer Service will be held at the Valley View Funeral Home Chapel at 14660 72 Avenue Surrey on Thursday July 15 at 7:00 PM and 7:30 PM respectively. The funeral mass will be held at the Holy Eucharist Cathedral, 501 4th Ave., New Westminster on Saturday July 17 at 1:00 PM. A private family interment will be held in the Gardens of Gethsemani cemetery. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, donations to the Cancer Society or the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shelter would be greatly appreciated.
