The rooms have continued to fill quickly, with nine babies having been delivered in the new space as of Thursday morning. Construction is already underway on the second half of the maternity ward, which is expected to be complete in December. Phase 2 will introduce four more birthing rooms, and allow labour, delivery and recovery to occur in the same room. Until the additional rooms open, mothers, such as Yuan, recover in a room shared with other new parents. The $5.3-million maternity ward renovation is one of five projects in Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation’s $32-million Partners in Caring Campaign. Once complete, the ward will be 50 per cent larger and have almost three times the capacity as the previous one. To donate, visit peacearchhospital.com

The final countdown to this weekend’s 2010 Spirit of the Sea Festival is on, and organizers are optimistic it will be a success. Community of Lights Events Society president Janice Savage said plans are proceeding “really well” for the event, which kicks off tonight with the crowning of Miss White Rock. “Things are falling into place,” Savage said. “The festival has developed a momentum – and it’s getting bigger.” Almost all the time-honoured features of the festival – including three entertainment stages, the parade and the fireworks display – will be going ahead. And, the public can expect a few surprise appearances by organizations that will add excitement to the celebration, Savage said. Savage paid tribute to volunteers and the organizing committee who have managed to pull the festival – which started the year embroiled in controversy after criticism of last year’s event organization – together in barely six weeks’ time. The festival has Janice Savage also weathered the departure of sea festival chair former society president Matt Todd, who resigned in June, citing time conflicts. This year’s policy of planning for everything and scaling back where necessary has worked well, Savage said, as has increased collaboration with White Rock RCMP and the city. “It’s been a creative year, financially, but everybody on the team seems calm and relaxed and everybody has everything under control.” Vendor presence has been increased – it now stands at more than 100 – and fees have made up for some other financial shortfalls, Savage said. One downside has been fewer commercial sponsorships overall, including fewer name-recognition sponsorships, which Savage admits she finds puzzling. “You’d think businesses in the community would want to take advantage of that,” she said. Free shuttle buses will be available throughout the weekend between Marine Drive and parking lots at Centennial Park and Semiahmoo Secondary. All-day parking is also available at Semiahmoo Park for $6. Organizers are also echoing White Rock RCMP’s pleas for the public to stay clear of the train tracks. Sgt. Paul Fletcher said there haven’t been any recent tragedies on the rails – and they’d like to keep it that way. CN Police officers will also be keeping a close eye on things, he said. “We’re asking people to be very conscious of the trains. I just don’t want anything to happen.”

issue. The real issue is ensuring they comply with the building code, having enough onsite parking and being sure that city services are properly charged for. If suites are not going to be built in new homes, it needs to be up to the owner to prove that, with the city given the ability to do onsite inspections one year after the home is first occupied. There also needs to be follow-up inspections. As the Ipsos-Reid poll the city commissioned stated, 63 per cent of Surrey residents are willing to allow secondary suites. That’s because they know they aren’t going away soon. Suites provide badly needed accommodation, and they also provide much-needed income for home owners who have massive mortgage payments. Surrey council also must continue to press for better transit service in urban neighbourhoods, because that would lessen the parking problem, which is one of the most annoying problems caused by secondary suites. This is particularly true in areas with small lots, which are proliferating in many parts of Surrey. Most people welcome the fact the city has finally realized suites are a legitimate use of a home. However, council and staff need to apply more wisdom to the suggested policy, because it still has far too many holes in it. Frank Bucholtz writes Fridays for the Peace Arch News.

Alert postal workers save seniors from scam Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A scam targeting senior citizens, in which a caller pretending to be a relative appeals for money, continues to plague communities across Western Canada, including South Surrey. Alert postal workers saved at least three Peninsula seniors from being duped recently – despite one couple’s initial disbelief that they might be victims. Canada Post’s Lillian Au said the elderly

pair came into the Sunnyside Village Mall outlet, at 2397 King George Blvd., on July 19 wanting to send $1,500 to their grandson in Montreal. Staff were immediately suspicious, Au said, and encouraged the couple to verify who the money was going to. The couple resisted, but eventually followed the advice, returning to the outlet later to thank the workers – and apologize. Another woman was saved from losing $200 Tuesday, after she came in wanting to send the cash to

a relative in Toronto. “We started asking her questions and advised her not to go through with it,” Au said. The scam has reared its head on the Semiahmoo Peninsula several times this year, with police in both South Surrey and White Rock fielding reports. In one case, a White Rock senior lost $1,900. Au said CP staff, in the last month alone, have helped seniors in the Fraser Valley, on Vancouver Island and in B.C.’s interior avert losses. The scam has also been caught in a

number of Alberta communities, as well as in Saskatchewan. “It’s not just Surrey, it’s everywhere,” she said. Au said the perpetrators are clever, and typically ask for about $2,000. “They’re pretty convincing. In one case, I heard of the caller knowing the (victim’s) grandson had recently had a baby.” Postal workers are trained to keep an eye out for such frauds, and won’t process suspicious transactions, Au said.

Seven-year-old remembered as ‘funny, tough kid’

Bella an ‘angel God let us have’ Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

Bella Carreiro is being remembered by loved ones this week as the humorous, lovable spirit who touched the hearts of so many on the Peninsula. After battling a progressive mitochondrial disease from the time she was just six months old, Bella passed away around 5 a.m. Wednesday (July 28) in her home. She was seven years old. In speaking about Bella Thursday, family members shared stories of a determined youngster who used her sarcastic sense of humour to make those around her smile. “She was just a really funny kid,” mother Sarita Osores said. “She was always cracking jokes when she was little. “She was really tough, too. Whenever she was hurt or in pain, she never complained. If Bella fell down – which was not uncommon, considering her disease limited her from performing daily functions, such as walking – she would pretend she wasn’t hurt, quickly reassuring others by calling out, “I’m fine.” “She was always game to do things,” grandmother Betty Osores recalled. “When she was younger, she was a real daredevil. She would just jump in the pool whether people were ready for her or not. She would just go.” The Peace Arch News witnessed Bella’s outgoing personality firsthand in November 2008, when reporting on how parents

of the youngster’s Jessie Lee Elementary classmates organized fundraisers for the then-six-year-old. More than 150 people attended the events, which brought in about $17,000. Bella’s story also touched aspiring business students at Semiahmoo Secondary, where Ventures Club members raised money for her through a street market. Funds raised in the community helped purchase adaptive equipment for Bella, who was losing her ability to sit up and eat on her own. Since April, Bella had not been able to consume food or water, and was being tube-fed. Betty said her granddaughter could no longer stand up, and, most of the time, couldn’t talk. But that didn’t stop her from living life. Bella recently experienced horseback riding – the horse she rode was afterwards given the show name ‘Bella’s Legacy’ – and had visited Science World and the Celebration of Light last week. She had just been to the doctor Monday, where plans were being made for her to return to school this fall in Aldergrove, where she had most recently been living. Bella lived between Sarita and father John Carreiro with her sister, 10-year-old Salina. “(Bella) loved her sister so much,” Sarita said. “She was such a good sister. No matter how sick Bella was, she was always so patient with her.” Bella was also close with grandfather Cesar Osores, Sarita’s boyfriend, Lorne Ebert, stepmother Jamie Fedje and three step-siblings. “She lit up our life,” Jamie said. “She gave us so many gifts and wonderful moments.” Sarita said Bella had recently been watching Alice in Wonderland everyday, and was planning to dress up as the Red Queen for Halloween. She said she will remember how Bella loved to interlace her fingers with loved ones. “She really liked holding hands.” Betty said her granddaughter, who would have been eight Aug. 23, was “an angel that God let us have for seven years.” “We wish we could have her longer,” Betty said. “He wanted her back and I think she came to teach us about life and love.” A memorial service is planned for 3 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 4 at Emmanuel Evangelical Covenant Church, 17029 16 Ave. (For more details, call 604-535-9835 or email christrl@telus.net) Everyone is welcome. Donations can be made in Bella’s name to Canuck Place Children’s Hospice and BC Children’s Hospital.

Building an emergency road in Crescent Beach is being discussed.

Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

The City of Surrey is exploring the possibility of building an emergency access route in Crescent Beach. Surrey council tasked the city’s transportation and public safety committees with looking into the concept, after rejecting a proposed emergency route in Crescent Beach Marina at its regular meeting Monday. City staff reviewed the route – which would have run under the wooden trestle bridge in the marina and linked with Blackie Spit – and recommended that it not be pursued, due to construction expenses and insurance costs and risks. But Coun. Judy Villeneuve, a Crescent Beach resident, disagrees with the recommendation, saying it’s more important that the city has the ability to take care of the public in the event of an emergency. “There are thousands of people coming to this beach now,” she said, following the meeting. “I’m going to be fairly firm on the position that the emergency access should be in place.” The provision would address concerns from Crescent Beach residents about a stopped train blocking the two routes that provide the only way in and out of the community, and which are located on the rail line. The main access point is at Beecher Street and Crescent Road, with a second 500 metres away, on McBride Avenue. Both were temporarily blocked by a Burlington Northern Santa Fe train in 2007. Constructing a single-lane emergency route under the trestle bridge that connects with the existing gravel path on the north side of the track

would cost around $550,000, according to a city report, while a wider, paved road that would accommodate two-way traffic would ring in around $1.1 million. The report states that BNSF has “in-principle” indicated support for the road, on condition others pay for costs, engineering designs meet their requirements and access be restricted to emergency vehicles. Insurance costs would be $20,000 during construction and $40,000$50,000 annually. Premiums exclude environmental liabilities such as cleanup costs from chemical spills, and, because environmental incidents cannot be quantified, insurance coverage amounts cannot be confirmed. But Villeneuve said there are other prices to consider. “I would have some concerns about the liability the city would have if (an emergency) occurred, and if we had explored the opportunity of having an emergency access and hadn’t followed through with that,” she said. “I’m not looking for another (public) roadway, I’m just really concerned about the emergency aspect. If there happened to be a chemical spill by the railway... if there was someone that was drowning or had a heart attack, those kind of things require immediate attention. Even if the people also had to get out of the village for some reason, there would be another foot access with that emergency road.” According to the report, Surrey Fire Department has been involved with the Crescent Beach community to address emergency service access concerns. Transportation and public safety committees are to review the marina emergency route and any alternatives.

Verdict sends strong message he driver who struck and killed four-yearold Alexa Middelaer two years ago was found guilty of impaired driving causing death this week in connection with the tragedy. It was a verdict many had hoped for, but few – Alexa’s parents Laurel and Michael included – actually expected. And while it was a victory, it is, as prosecutor Winston Sayson rightly expressed outside Surrey Provincial Court Tuesday, hardly a celebration. Alexa, the blond, cherubic and – in her parents’ own words – tenacious tot who attended preschool in Crescent Beach is gone. No court decision, fine or jail time can ever change that. But perhaps this verdict, and hopefully the sentence that will be imposed on driver Carol Berner in November, can change at least one person’s decision when it comes to driving after having a drink or three. And perhaps new laws that take effect in September targeting impaired drivers, aiming to get them off B.C. roads faster and for longer, will give further pause. The penalties include an immediate, 90-day driving ban, $500 fine and possible criminal charges for those whose breath sample exceeds 80mg/100mL. Those who blow a ‘warn’ once in a five-year period will receive a threeday driving ban and a $200 fine. If caught a second time in that five years, the ban will jump to seven days and the fine to $300. A third strike earns a 30-day driving ban and a $400 fine. While these penalties may prevent a similar tragedy in future, they don’t solve the thorny problem of sentencing in such matters, particularly in Berner’s case. The degree of punishment handed out to those convicted of drunk driving, especially in cases involving a loss of life, seems notoriously light in B.C. In this case, the fact it was an innocent bystander who was involved makes the demand for a harsher penalty understandable. But when it comes to legal matters, precedents usually rule the day. And from the viewpoint of the person charged, that would seem to be a fair expectation. In a publicly recognizable case, one that pulls at the heart strings as much as the one involving Alexa, should the legal system rule with a heavier hand? That’s up for debate. But the reality is, no sentence will feel like enough. At the end of the day, all we can hope for is that Alexa’s death was not entirely for naught.

Remember pets in the heat

water, too. I guess everyone knows all of this – so it’s just a small reminder. Jean Ashbrook, Langley

Editor: Now that summer seems to have finally arrived, could you please print a little warning to remind people not to leave their pets in locked cars – even with windows open. The poor dogs, too, who are left chained outside while owners are out at work, please make sure they have shade and lots of water. If you know of one, peep over the fence and see if it has shade and

Work at home is still work Editor: Re: We can’t call it progress, July 7 letters.. Your correspondent, Ralph E. Johnson, laments the good old days of 60 years ago when “your wife did not work.” I am curious to know who cooked

the food, cleaned the house, did the laundry and cared for the children in the Johnson home during those wonderful times. Carolyn Smith, Surrey

It’s a problem by design Editor: Re: Elgin Corners businesses tackle crime, July 21. I read with no surprise that Elgin Corners is a repeat target for breakins and theft. Every time I drive up 32 Avenue,

I am struck by how poorly designed that complex is. There are no storefronts onto 32nd, giving the small mall a fortresslike appearance. It has no real connection to the community around it, and once inside it you are virtually invisible to the streets around it. It would be an easy target for thieves, just as homes that have front-yard fences or high hedges are. Just one more example where Surrey’s rush to build has eclipsed a good design process, leaving the community to deal with the problems poor design causes. B. Worden, Surrey

Much ado over Wi-Fi Editor: The fact that White Rock’s new BlueZone adds levels of radiation to the beach that are within industry standards is of little comfort to those who are affected by that radiation. Health Canada’s safety regulations for wireless radiation are based on the level of exposure required to heat the tissue of the average, healthy, 70-kilogram male in a brief exposure. This is known as the thermal effect, much like a hot dog in a microwave oven. Humans are more complicated than hot dogs, and radiation affects us at the cellular level long before our skin gets toasty. There are hundreds of scientific studies that show non-thermal biological effects at levels of radiation far below government standards. Just a few from the long list of documented health effects are: difficulty sleeping, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, tinnitus, dizziness, depression, irritability, as well as cellular changes associated with cancers and heart and reproductive problems. Most humans can withstand a significant amount of DNA breakage before noticing impaired health, so don’t let this ruin your fun day at the beach. But effects are cumulative, and depend on how fast your body can repair damage under repetitive and ever-increasing levels of exposure. Even Health Canada’s current Safety Code 6 acknowledges that “certain members of the general public may be more susceptible to RF (radio frequency) and microwave exposure.” For those people, White Rock’s BlueZone has become a No-Go Zone, and for everyone it’s just one more layer of RF pollution and one less place to escape and recharge our natural electrical systems. Joe Donnelly, Surrey ■ Some of us go to the beach specifically to get away from laptops and other Wi-Fi devices and give our brain a break from techno-noise and wireless radiation. There are many studies that show the effects this radiation has on the

Many are weighing in on the pros and cons of Wi-Fi and the use of wireless devices. brain and nervous system, but it’s common sense that most people feel better the closer they get to nature and the further away from EMF pollution. For those who are very sensitive, any Wi-Fi area becomes a place of discomfort and the beach is no longer somewhere we can relax. If we can have a beach for people who want to take off their clothes, why not a beach to enjoy the peace of a Wi-Fi-free area? Arlene Rubin, Surrey

Wi-Fi woes ungrounded On July 23, writer Linda Ewart of White Rock went on at some length regarding her aversion to radiation emissions from Wi-Fi services in White Rock. Ms. Ewart is of the opinion that such emissions are a serious threat to her good health. Perhaps Ms. Ewart is not aware of the existence of many forms of radiation emissions that continuously surround her. A major contributor is the sun, but also, many radioactive elements are present in the soil around us and, of course, these particles continuously emit radiation. But Wi-Fi is only one transmitted service created to assist mankind. She should also know that radio,

TV, cellphone signals and more surround her each and every second of the day. Each has its threat to health if experienced in high doses, but not in the low strengths that exist today. If that is unacceptable to Ms. Ewart, then there is much that will concern her. She will want to have radio and TV services silenced as well as cellphones. Then she will want the soils cleansed of any and all particles that emit radiation and finally, she will want the sun darkened. Bob Hawkins, Surrey ■ I am a resident of White Rock and a mother of two school-age children. I am a professional interior designer for corporate office space; currently, a large percentage of our new construction is including Wi-Fi technology in some form or another. We use this technology daily in our lives, in our work environments, home environments and in public. As a professional, I have taken the time to read and study up on Health Canada’s Safety Code 6, and know firsthand the studies that have concluded to these safety levels, have been done not only by our federal government, but by the World Health Organization, and feel I can depend on these organizations to

produce credible information. There are safety levels put in place under Canadian laws that must be adhered to for commercial and residential use. As long as Blue Jamb Media is adhering to these guidelines it makes no sense to try to stop every coffee shop and residence along Marine Drive from using Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is here to stay, just as the computer and the Internet is here to stay. Most people know that Wi-Fi signals decrease in intensity the further you move away from them. If they reach 50 metres, you are lucky. To say they reach one kilometre up the hill does not make sense. There must be hundreds of Wi-Fi routers on the beach. These signals would reach the promenade and beach and would have been there previously. I would recommend that if someone truly has an opposition to Wi-Fi, they should be lobbying the Canadian government. To think that people are going to stop using cellphones, wireless Internet, Internet cafes, phone systems, etc. is ludicrous. If the City of White Rock is ensuring that these new routers that have been installed meet all the Canadian regulations and guidelines, I think they are doing their job. Marie-Anne Lenko, White Rock

Don Robertson is puzzled by the decision to close the Surrey Veterans Affairs Service Centre.

He said the downtown office has new responsibilities, including an initiative for homeless veterans and responsibility for northern B.C. and the Yukon.

news New green space also slated for Grandview Heights

Redwood Park to expand South Surrey will soon have more green space, following city council’s approval this week to purchase two properties for parkland. One of the properties, 17684 20 Ave., is situated in the Redwood area, while the other, 2770 168 St., is in the Grandview Heights area. The former is located between two larger areas of parkland owned by the city, and is 1½ acres with an older, single-family detached dwelling. According to a city report, the purpose of the acquisition is to provide additional parkland for Redwood Park as envisioned under the Park Acquisition Program. The property in Grandview Heights, located close to other parcels of parkland owned by the city, is nine acres. It, too, has an older, singlefamily detached dwelling, as well

on pesticides and smoking, drawing the parallel that both were health issues that, in earlier decades, had not been taken seriously. Noreen Johnson, a Royal Avenue resident, said her high sensitivity to wireless technology would force her to move her home out of White Rock – and even made it difficult for her to speak in council chambers due to heart palpitations. “Humans are bio-electric beings,” she said. “How are you going to compensate businesses and individuals who are going to leave the city?” South Surrey resident Farren Lander said the 14 new routers for the BlueZone were adding to some 240 already in the area; adding to “literally a fabric of frequencies around White Rock.” He added that effects of wireless signals can range from headaches and skin rashes to hormonal imbalances and sleep disorders. “The tapestry is growing,” he said. “My fear is we are reaching a tipping point.”

Residents against wireless technology voice concerns at council

Opponents of wireless technology – particularly the new free Wi-Fi and Bluetooth service along White Rock Beach – took over the public question period at White Rock council’s meeting Monday night. Speakers, including South Surrey’s Linda Honing of Citizens for Safe Technology, seemed more intent on voicing their concerns about the health impacts of wireless signals – and, specifically, the new BlueZone initiative of Tourism White Rock – than framing questions. But ultimately their queries boiled down to two: would the city take a serious look at information on the perceived dangers of Wi-Fi and would someone get back to speakers to confirm that it had? The answer to both, said Mayor Catherine Ferguson, was yes. “Ms. Clark (city manager Peggy Clark) will be taking a look at this and she will be getting back to you,” Ferguson said, thanking speakers for expressing their

Rebecca Larkin hopes charitable donations continue from across the globe

Haiti remains a work in progress Gary McKenna

Black Press

ews reports about the devastating earthquake in Haiti have slowed to a trickle in North America but the destruction left in the disaster’s wake is something Haitians still deal with every day. Rebecca Larkin, whose parents live in Crescent Beach, has lived in Haiti for more than three years. She survived the January quake, but said significant work still lies ahead. She was in the Lower Mainland last week, visiting her parents and raising money to fund the work she does on the Caribbean island – many here, including students taught by her sister at Morgan Elementary in South Surrey, supported in the weeks following the quake. Larkin works with aid organization Heart2Heart, Rebecca Larkin’s post- which seeks to earthquake reports from educate young people and Haiti appeared in the help them out Jan. 20 issue of PAN. of the poverty that plagues much of Haiti’s inhabitants. She lives on a compound in Grand Goave, about an hour outside of Port au Prince, where several hundred students sleep, eat, go to school and attend church. But since January, the majority of their activities take place outside after most of the buildings were levelled by the quake and subsequent aftershocks. The one building left standing, the students’ living quarters, remains empty, despite the fact engineers have assured H2H it is safe – memories of the disaster haunt the young people and many are afraid to sleep inside. “They are still quite nervous to go under cement roofs,” Larkin said. Work was recently completed on the compound’s dining hall but the food depot, church and school are still under construction. When Larkin is not busy overseeing the students at the compound, she takes time

Through her blog, Rebecca Larkin – who is in the Lower Mainland visiting family and friends with her husband, Renel Honarat – has kept people informed of the ongoing rebuilding efforts in Haiti. Above, some of the destruction from the January quake.

to blog about her experiences in Haiti. She writes about the people she meets and posts pictures of the students, the compound and anything else she finds interesting.

“When I first started, I think family and friends just wanted to see what I was doing,” she said. “It has been a really useful tool in getting the two places (Haiti and

Vancouver) connected.” After the quake, her blog became an important tool for many people inside and outside of the country seeking information about what was going on. The United State Marine Corps. used the website to learn about local road conditions and get a sense of the damage to infrastructure in Larkin’s area. She has since developed a relationship with the marines and still keeps in contact with them. Larkin and her husband, Renel Honarat, whom she met in Haiti and married last October, are expected to return to their home in September, when work at the compound picks up again. Honarat had never left the island before he arrived in Canada last week and has been adjusting to many of the differences in cultures, Larkin said. He is constantly asking his hosts why they do certain activities, like sit in a hot tub or attend exercise classes. The quake had tragic consequences for his family. His brother attended university in Port au Prince, which was close to the epicenter of the quake. He was last seen entering the school. “We never did find his body but to the best of our ability, we have confirmed he was killed in the earthquake,” she said. Many families in Haiti have dealt with similar tragedies following the earthquake. The rebuilding efforts in Grand Goave and the rest of the island will require help from people around the world, including North America, Larkin said. Those who are able to donate or wish to find out more information about Larkin and the organization she works for can do so by going to hearttohearthaiti.com. Larkin also encourages people to follow her blog (rebeccalarkin.blogspot.com), where they can get a sense of the work she and the organization are doing.

Terry McConachie was always the outgoing one, even if she was a bit of a drama queen. She loved parties, and couldn’t be kept off the dance floor. Scotty was more reserved, and had an incredible sense of humour, keeping his company in stitches with quick-witted one-liners. The couple complemented each other well when they married in 1940, and still do 70 years later. The McConachies will be recognizing that special connection on their platinum anniversary Tuesday (Aug. 3) in the South Surrey care home they now live in. It’s a milestone no one in their family – they had 18 siblings between the two of them – has reached. “My dad says you get less for murder,” son Billee McConachie joked. Although Terry, 88, and Scotty, 91, aren’t the lively duo they once were, Billee still remembers them as active parents-of-two, who loved to harmonize and jive together, and mixed in well with their children’s friends. “Our friends always included mom and dad in everything because they were young at heart, they were fun-loving,” he said. “They did everything with us.” For about 15 years, the couple cheered on their son-in-law at his softball tournaments, and if they weren’t hosting a Grey Cup party, they were see page 13

Terry – whose actual name is Ivy – was also born on the prairies, in Regina, two years after her future husband. Both moved to Vancouver in their teens, where they were introduced by Terry’s sister. Shortly after marrying, the pair moved to Cochrane, Alta., where Scotty worked on his uncle’s ranch.

Scotty worked as a welder/fabricator, while Terry worked in a bank. It was in 1976 that the couple moved to South Surrey, living in a duplex for a decade before relocating to nearby Searidge Bays.

Over the years we have also participated in many of the special advertising sections offered by Peace Arch News, such as their seasonal Home and Garden supplement, as well as their twice yearly Shop Local.

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 beneficial 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 first hand the positive response from their readers, I am confident that my ads have paid off with increased customer visits.

news Carelessness sparks majority of forest fires

Campfire ban in full force By Tom Fletcher Black Press

Lightning strikes have caused fewer forest fires as B.C. heads into the driest days of summer, but careless people are causing as much damage as ever. The B.C. government expanded its campfire ban to include most of the province as of Thursday (July 29). Heading into its busiest camping weekend of the year with continued hot and dry weather expected, the Kamloops, Northwest, Cariboo and Prince George regions will join the Lower Mainland and Coast region under a ban on all open fires. That means burn barrels, tiki torches, fireworks and even industrial and burning-permit fires are off limits in all regions except the Kootenays. Camp stoves may still be used. So far this year, 65 per cent of forest fires have been humancaused, compared to 40 per cent last year, despite a size limit imposed for campfires. Forests Minister Pat Bell said Monday the current forest fire season has seen 23,000 hectares burned and $27.1 million spent on firefighting. That’s less than half the damage as this time last year, when 47,000 hectares had burned and $64.9 million was spent.

A helicopter works to contain the Jade wildfire July 24. A fire at the base of Mount Seymour in North Vancouver Sunday was the season’s first interface fire, but it was contained before any homes were threatened. Witnesses said a campfire got out of control in a remote spot near Northlands golf course. That same day, another interface fire was contained quickly in West Kelowna, after an evacuation alert was issued for homes in the area. Bell said he is encouraged by the relatively low damage so far

this season, despite a hot July and drought conditions in some regions. “But that can all change in a very short period of time, and fire bans are now on throughout the province, with the exception of the Kootenay region,” he said. Unauthorized campfires are subject to a $345 fine, and there are penalties of up to a $1 million fine or three years in prison for causing a wildfire. Enforcement officers will be out full force during the August long weekend.

Local filmmaker wins new truck South Surrey resident John Banovich found himself with the keys to a brand new 2010 Toyota 4Runner this month, after his short video was selected by Toyota Canada as the grand-prize winner of the company’s video contest. Banovich’s video – which Toyota reps called “humourous and imaginative” – was selected from approximately 200 entries from across the country. According to a release, the contest was created by Toyota so “Toyota truck enthusiasts could share their passion, excitement and stories.” Entrants were asked to submit a short video describing why they love trucks, or why they deserved to win. To see Banovich’s winning entry – titled “Practicing driving the new 4Runner” – visit www.4runner.ca

Sam and Luke to perform at Spirit of the Sea Festival

But the opening line in Sam and Luke Remedios’ song Hittin’ The Road – from the new album, Standing In A Room – shows they’re not about to disown the town where they grew up. “We started on this journey from White Rock...” the brothers sing, in a musical recounting of their trip to Nashville.

Christmas in mid-summer Alex Browne Arts Reporter

It’s not too early to start thinking about the winter holidays, according to White Rock Players Club, which begins the audition process for its annual Christmas pantomime in mid-August.

According to a club release, Bethell is looking for “actors of all ages, all skill levels and all sizes” for this theatrical musical comedy, and the age range for participants is eight years to 80.

Auditions will be held at the Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd., Sunday, Aug. 15 (noon to 6 p.m.), Sunday, Aug. 29 (noon to 6 p.m.) and Monday, Aug. 30 (7 to 10 p.m.). Characters to be cast include Ma Peddler (the Dame, a female role played by a male a la Dame Edna); Robinson Crusoe (female, 16 or older); Lady Pamela (female, 16 or older); lady Pamela’s governess, Miss Upson-Downs (female); Friday (male or female); and Robinson’s friend, Polly the Parrot. Also to be cast: hissable villain Don Juan de Segusting (male or female); Captain Skulldug-

gery (chief henchman); Mister Morgan (assistant henchman); the Cannibal King, the Cannibal Queen; and a variety of chorus roles. No appointments are necessary for the first-come-firstserved auditions, but auditionees should be prepared to wait. They should also be prepared with a song – which must be sung “a cappella”, and may be asked to read some from the script. Callbacks will be Tuesday, Sept. 7 and rehearsals (Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons) start Sept. 14. The show runs Nov. 25 to Dec. 26 (no show on Christmas Day).

arts & entertainment Santo De Vita’s work will be seen throughout White Rock

Banners serve as tribute to local artist Alex Browne Arts Reporter

It’s a symbol of generosity; a ‘gift’ that keeps on giving. Banners commissioned by the White Rock BIA – installed this week on city light standards just in time to be seen by thousands enjoying Spirit of the Sea festivities – feature an image from a painting by Italianborn local artist Santo De Vita, who worked out of the Oxford Street Studios. BIA executive director Cyndie Richards said the new banners not only promote Santo De Vita White Rock – they artist serve as a legacy to the city from the artist, who died in January of this year at the age of 63. But the banners – which show the juxtaposition of sky, the sea and White Rock pier – use only a segment of De Vita’s original painting, Richards said, adding his full composition will be featured on the BIA’s own street banner for the festival. Subject of the full painting – which originally appeared in a calendar created late last year by Tourism White Rock – was ‘The Gift’, the totem poles carved by Haida artist Robert Davidson and installed at East Beach at what is now Chief

Brian Giebelhaus photo

City of White Rock maintenance worker Chris Smith installs the White Rock BIA’s new banners on light posts along Marine Drive Tuesday. Bernard Charles Plaza. That project was itself a legacy, commissioned by the RCMP to celebrate its 125th anniversary – and as a symbol of healing and moving on from rifts and grievances of the past. The 280 new banners, were made possible by funding from merchants and further gifts – contributions from EPTA Properties (the Avra development) and Bosa

Properties (Miramar Village), plus installation courtesy of the city. “It’s a perfect cycle,” said Tourism White Rock executive director Betina Albornoz, who originally commissioned De Vita’s painting among others created for the calendar by artists in the community. “The idea of a ‘gift’ is the perfect theme,” she added. “The beautiful part of the story is

that when I visited the Oxford Street Studios, I was looking for a painting of the totem poles, and hadn’t been able to find one. He said ‘I will create one for you.’ He was a very kind soul.” De Vita made the image available for the calendar free of charge, and while the original painting is now owned by his widow, she has agreed to its use on the banners, Albornoz said. “When I heard the BIA wanted to use his painting for the banners, I said that would be very special.” Richards said De Vita’s painting was a natural choice when Mayor Catherine Ferguson suggested the BIA choose one of the paintings from the calendar for the new banners. “Santo’s work leapt off the page,” Richards said. “His picture captured all the colour and the brightness that White Rock is.” “I saw the opportunity for different groups to collaborate on a beautification project benefiting the whole city,” Ferguson commented. “The BIA, Avra and the Miramar came together to honour a local artist and create banners welcoming visitors to White Rock.” And the banners may inspire a continuing tradition, Richards said. “When the banners need to be replaced, I think it should always be local artists’ work that is chosen,” she said.

Renegades win third straight senior A title Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The White Rock Renegades’ impressive run continues. A week after three Renegades teams won provincial titles, the association has another to add to the list, after the senior A ‘Gades took top spot at provincials Sunday in Richmond. The senior squad took the B.C. banner – its third consecutive – with a 10-3, five-inning win over New Westminster Kaos in the championship game. “It was great, a real good feeling. The girls had a job to do and they went out and did it,” said White Rock head coach Bryan Sask. White Rock now sets its atten-

tion on Canadian championships, which are slated to hit the field in Kitchener, Ont. Aug. 11-15. The Renegades had actually qualified for 2010 nationals by virtue of winning last year’s provincials, while their victory last Sunday gives them a berth into the 2011 Canadian championship. At the senior level – where players often balance softball, work, school and other commitments – the qualifying system is offset by one year, in order to give teams enough time to plan and fundraise. Despite qualifying for last year’s

Summer skills The sun came out just in time for some of the Peninsula’s young soccer players, many of whom took part in a Peace Arch Soccer summer camp earlier this month at South Surrey Athletic Park. Among the coaches helping out was former Peace Arch player, Robbie Tice (right), who now plays professionally in Europe. Above, Griffin Jaager puts his ball-handling skills to the test during a drill; far right, Jaden Sanghe tries to defend against Mamadou Doumbia.

nationals, White Rock withdrew because not enough players were available. Winning a third straight B.C. title was anything but a foregone conclusion for the talented ‘Gades, however – especially after they dropped both of their seeding games to begin the tournament. “Those were our first losses at provincials in two years,” explained Sask. “But it was a bit of a wakeup call, and I think it turned out to be a good thing. You can get a little bit overconfident if you’re not careful. But I’d rather lose in the beginning

than lose at the end.” Following the two losses – one of which came against the Kaos – the low-seeded Renegades reeled off five straight wins to capture the title. “We were a little bit rusty there, probably. We hadn’t played in a couple weeks, so it took a bit to get our bats going,” said Sask. “But when they did, we really pounded the ball. And you can have all the pitching, all the defence, but if you can’t hit, you aren’t going to win.” Sask singled out a quartet of veteran hitters – Carly Moir, Courtney Gill, Courtney O’Connor and Rachel Stasiuk – as the ones who keyed the team’s offence.

In total, the Renegades will send five teams to nationals, and another one to Western Championships. Joining the senior A team at nationals are the defending national midget champion Renegades ’91, who leave for New Brunswick today (July 30); the Renegades ’92, also headed to midget nationals; the Renegades ’94, who won bantam provincials; and the 1996born Renegades, who won gold in the peewee division. Last week, after Renegade teams captured three B.C. titles – and had teams add second-, third-, fourthand fifth-place finishes for good measure – club president Gregg Timm called it “a damn good weekend for the Renegades.”

Weinberger top Canadian at World Cup event Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Richard Weinberger was seventh at a FINA World Cup event last week in Roberval, Que.

Though he insists he was doing the race just to gain experience, South Surrey swimmer Richard Weinberger ended up as top Canadian at a FINA World Cup open-water swim meet Sunday in Roberval, Que. The 20-year-old Weinberger, who now lives in Victoria, finished seventh overall in the 10-kilometre race, less than one minute behind the winner. The former Pacific Sea Wolves swimmer spent two weeks in Quebec, competing in three events in Lac-St-Jean. In addition to the World Cup event – a circuit that spans the globe and features the world’s top open-water swimmers – Weinberger also competed in two events at the Open Water World Cham-

My son has been urging me to Q put him on the title to my home so when I die he will not be required to probate my will. It sounds like a sensible move to me. What do you think? In nearly every case this is a very, very bad idea. Firstly, if your son has matrimonial problems, either from a wife or from a common-law spouse if the new proposed legisalation is passed, his ownership of half your house will be taken into consideration in any matrimonial dispute in court. Secondly, if your son acquires debts, the creditors can attach your house to attempt to get their money. Thirdly, because he doesn’t live in your house, his half attracts capital gains tax when you die. Fourthly, if your health fails, you may be required to sell the house and use all the proceeds to provide greater care for you when you are dependent on 24-hour medical care. I have been required to sue offspring who would not give up their half of the proceeds. Don’t do it. Probate fees are only 1.4% of your estate.

sports Seaside Volleyball co-founder brings experience to new post

Pacific Volleyball hires Donen Peninsula resident Shane Donen has been hired as the new chief executive officer of the Pacific Volleyball Centre of Excellence Society, which, beginning in September, will operate out of the Richmond Olympic Oval. Donen comes to the non-profit society with more than 30 years experience in leading retail and business-tobusiness organizations in all facets of operations. He recently held the position of general manager, retail merchandising contractor at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. He also has extensive experience within the volleyball community. He is the current president and co-founder of South Surrey/White Rock’s Seaside Volleyball Club, and is the head coach of Canada’s Maccabiah national women’s volleyball team, which won bronze at last summer’s Maccabiah Games held in Tel Aviv, Israel. “The society’s vision… really aligns with my passion for volleyball,” said Donen, whose son, Kyle, is a former Semiahmoo Totems volleyball captain. “It’s a great

honor to join its leadership team and have the opportunity to build on its success.” As the chief executive officer of the Society, Donen will be responsible for providing leadership, developing partnerships, creating a sustainable business model and developing a strong communication vehicle to actively connect and interact with the volleyball community. “The vision is to have an incredibly strong impact on the development of players – improving their introduction to volleyball, all the way up to getting us onto the podium at the Olympics,” said Doug Reimer, head women’s coach at UBC and chair of Pacific Volleyball. “Shane came to our attention because of his strong execution skills, his proven ability to lead topperforming teams and his passion in the sport of volleyball. “As we got to know Shane, we were impressed by his emphasis on developing strategic sustainability for organizations, his understanding of the volleyball community and his personal integrity.”
