Policing Canuck fans off to good start Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Surrey Mounties say they are heading into largely uncharted waters, as local Canucks celebrations now involve at least two large crowds. Over the past several years, Surrey RCMP and Delta Police have watched over a large spontaneous crowd that gathers after Canucks’ games at Scott Road and 72 Avenue. That group is largely made up of people
who spill out from nearby homes in the Newton area. Now the city is holding an organized event for people who want to watch the game at Central City plaza, which can accommodate about 5,000 people. If game nights go as well as Wednesday did, everything should be fine. Police say a crowd of 2,000 people at the city’s celebration site was completely wellbehaved, as was the mob of about 3,500 at 72
Avenue and Scott Road, which saw only one arrest for a fight. In charge of ensuring the celebrations remain peaceful is Surrey RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger, who manages operational planning for special events. He scheduled two dozen officers to patrol the Central City site during the first game between the Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins. Going forward, that may change. see page 4

It’s official – the City of White Rock has a brand. Council this week endorsed one of three themes presented earlier this year as a means of defining the city: City by the Sea. Council members were introduced to the options in late February, when the chair of a task force that formed last July presented the group’s findings. A West Coast Gem and Abundantly Beautiful were two other suggested brands. According to a May 30 report by city manager Peggy Clark, the themes were presented at committee meetings, a public consultation and to city employees. see page 4
New Surrey gas stations to offer fuel alternatives The City of Surrey will now require all new gas stations to have at least one alternative fuel source. Surrey council passed a motion Monday, requiring any new stations include at least one alternative source, such as hydrogen, compressed natural gas or electric vehicle recharging, in addition to conventional gasoline, diesel and propane energy. “We want to build the alternative fuel
infrastructure of the future,” Mayor Dianne Watts said. “It’s important for governments to set an example and lead the way in terms of advancing new technologies.” Surrey is the only city in Canada to have two hydrogen fuelling stations, both fully funded by the Canadian Hydrogen Fuel Cell Association. It is also one of only four cities in the country to receive the prestigious Fleet Gold Rating from the Fraser

Basin Council for implementing reductions in green house gas (GHG) emissions, investing in low or no-carbon vehicles and energy efficient technologies and demonstrating staff and management excellence. Other green fleet initiatives Surrey is working to include: Q Operating two zero-emission Ford Focus hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCV) and expanding the number of such vehicles in operation;
Q Introducing a number of 100 per cent electric vehicles to assess the performance of this type of vehicle as part of the city’s fleet; Q Introducing Canada’s first compressed natural gas (CNG) municipal waste collection truck for residential curbside service; Q Co-sponsoring a postdoctoral research project by SFU’s School of Mechatronic, focused on assessing low-carbon alternatives to gas and diesel municipal fleet vehicles.

weighs more heavily on South Fraser residents, who own cars as a necessity, and have fewer options when it comes to using transit. People who live in Surrey will also pay more when the new Port Mann Bridge opens, even though that money won’t go to TransLink. There are no plans to bring in tolls on any other bridges in the region. TransLink, the provincial government and Metro Vancouver are, in effect, punishing people for living in Surrey. The current TransLink model is not working well for the region south of the Fraser. While TransLink says it is more amenable to boosting service here, in reality there has been little expansion. There is continued talk of a rapid transit line to UBC, yet there isn’t enough money to start a bus route between Langley and White Rock. Something definitely does not add up. TransLink wants public feedback on its rapid transit plans. These can be accessed at www. translink.ca/en/Be-Part-ofthe-Plan/Public-Consultation/ Surrey-Rapid-Transit-Study. It needs to get its financial house in much better order, and start treating Surrey as the big city that it is, in order for these plans to really be taken seriously. Frank Bucholtz writes Fridays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

news NDP MLAs express concern over ‘intolerable’ Surrey classroom shortages
School petition presented at legislature Sheila Reynolds Black Press
Surrey’s shortage of classroom space got some attention in the B.C. legislature this week as local NDP MLAs presented a 659-signature petition protesting a lack of capital funding. “Families are very concerned about the negative impact of inadequate school space on their children’s education,” said Jagrup Brar, MLA for Surrey-Fleetwood. “Even the government’s own documents

A timeline of steps taken in the months following note city surveys found some support for the one-hour stalls, and it was determined that converting three was “a good compromise,” Kurylo said. In supporting the recommendation, Coun. Al Campbell pointed to an abundance of twohour spots in the area. “There are, in fact, 25 other two-hour parking spots,” Campbell said. “There is more than adequate parking.” He criticized LeBlanc for making “innuendos” against the city and those who requested the change. Coun. Helen Fathers voted against Kurylo’s recommendation, citing the “very muddy” process it has entailed. “Puddles of mud are clearer than this whole process has been,” Fathers said. “I can’t support the recommendation. Obviously, new information has come up.”
A meeting hosted by the newly formed 32nd Avenue Corridor Family and Community Coalition will take place next week in an attempt to rally support for a ban on diesel trucks on the busy South Surrey street. Russ Buchanan, co-chair of the coalition, said 32 Avenue has become a main route to and from the Campbell Heights industrial park, and estimated “an average of 700 trucks” per day use the road as a shortcut to Highway 99, rather than going north to Highway 10. “Over the last year, this mega, 2,000-acre industrial park has been the reason so many more trucks are using 32 Avenue – and Campbell Heights is only 10 per cent full. Potentially, we’re looking at 7,000 trucks a day,” Buchanan said, adding that the group is calling for a ban on large diesel semi trucks west of 176 Street. “That’s a lot of trucks coming within metres of our homes, nursing homes, playgrounds and schools.” The group is to meet Thursday, 7 p.m. in the library at Morgan Elementary, 3366 156A St. They have three major concerns, public safety, public health and noise. “I just don’t think you can have high-density neighbourhoods adjacent to a three-square-mile industrial park, with thousands of trucks slicing through those communities every day,” he said. The coalition has tried to discuss the matter with the City of Surrey, Buchanan said, but have not been meet with a favourable response. “The city owns that (Campbell Heights) property, so they basically act as their own developers… it’s a conflict of interest,” he said. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts was in Halifax this week, at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities convention, and was unavailable for comment. The city’s engineering department also did not return calls seeking comment.

Response assessed game by game from page 1 “It’s going to be a very fluid event, because as I say, we’ve never done this before,” Grainger said, sounding a little like the Canucks coach as he added, “we’ll have to assess it game by game.” Parties throughout the region are expected to increasingly draw on police resources as the Stanley Cup final progresses. The policing costs are expected to increase as the series goes longer. Surrey RCMP are being circumspect about the exact figures, but Grainger said it will cost at least $50,000 in overtime alone for the Vancouver-Boston series, and that’s if it wraps up in four games. If it goes seven games, that figure could double. From a tactical standpoint, police throughout the region say they’ve learned from the successes and failures of the past.
The standing example of how not to police large crowds was the Vancouver riot in 1994, the last time the Canucks made it to the Stanley Cup final. Then, the police remained separate from the roiling mass of Canucks fans and the Vancouver Police crowd control unit remained in the basement of a church until the riot broke out. Cruisers were rolled by angry mobs, who looted downtown stores. Many people were teargassed and at least one was shot in the head with a rubber bullet. Both Vancouver Police Department Police Chief Jim Chu and Grainger were there. Grainger, then a four-year Mountie, was called in to assist when things got out of control. Both say police have learned a lot since then, particularly from the successful Olympics in Vancouver last year.
Now revellers will see police milling in the crowd, shaking hands and making eye contact. The message is that police are celebrating as well, but they have a job to do in making sure everyone is responsible and safe. Delta Police Sgt. Paul Eisenzimmer noted the public, too, has changed since the ill-fated celebrations in 1994. “I think our crowds have changed in the last 16 to 17 years,” Eisenzimmer said. “The Olympics taught people how to celebrate without being stupid.” The plaza at Central City – near 102 Avenue and King George Boulevard – will be open as a free family celebration spot during remaining games. Those wanting to secure a spot should arrive by 4 p.m. – the puck drops at 5 p.m. No drugs or alcohol will be permitted on the site.
Slogan lacks spark: Coun. Anderson from page 1 The task force report was also posted on the city’s website with a request for feedback. My/Our City by the Sea received “overwhelming support,” Clark writes. It was recommended for adoption “because it is inclusive and can be tailored and personalized for any individual, group or initiative.” It is “built on the past and can resonate with the present and future.” As well, the brand complements the city’s Coat of Arms and flag, recognizes the community as a city “and allows everyone to indicate what their City by the Sea means to them.” The matter was not discussed before Monday’s vote, which carried with Coun. Mary-Wade Anderson opposed. In explaining her opposition Wednesday, Anderson said she found the branding “somewhat

mundane.” “It don’t think it’s the spark that White Rock wanted. It doesn’t have a ‘jump’ factor to it,” she said. “I think I was looking for something that was more of a headline – more than just a heart line – about White Rock. It deserves the best title in the world.” Branding White Rock has been on the city’s agenda since 2001. The first recommendations – “Silver Beach” and “the Island of White Rock” – presented by the U.S.-based firm, Whisper, in 2007, were soundly rejected. The six-member task force that formed in July to re-examine the idea included a review of the $68,000 Whisper study in their efforts. In presenting the themes to council in February, group chair Chris Thornley, who also helped rebrand both the City of Surrey and Sources, said ‘City by
the Sea’ – which could be personalized with the addition of ‘My’, ‘Our’ or ‘Your’ – speaks to the notion that “sometimes, you already have the answer.” In her report, Clark recommended citizens, students and organizations be given the month of June to answer the question: What does My/Our City by the Sea mean to you? The campaign is to be advertised on the city’s website, at city facilities and on the City Page in the Peace Arch News. In addition to endorsing the brand, council authorized a contract of up to $5,000 be awarded to ThornleyHayne from the city’s economic reserve, to finalize its details. It needs to be worked in with existing elements presently used by the city, such as the wave that appears on city publications; font and colours must also be ironed out, Clark notes.

news Woman alleges falling tent struck her head at district track meet
Mother sues over injury Sheila Reynolds Black Press
A South Surrey mother who had a portable tent fall on her during a school track meet two years ago has filed a civil suit against the Surrey Board of Education, the city, two teachers and two anonymous defendants. Tanya Williams claims that on June 1, 2009, she was watching her son, a student at Rosemary Heights Elementary, at a district track meet in Bear Creek Park near 88 Avenue and 137 Street. In her suit, filed last week, she says two teachers from the school, Cheryl McIlhargey and
Marjie Bentley, had erected a tent over some raised, tiered bleachers. Williams was seated on the bottom row of the stands. Suddenly and without warning, it’s alleged, she was struck on the head by the tent as it collapsed. Williams says she sustained a traumatic brain injury, with cognitive dysfunction, anxiety, headaches, injuries to the cervical spine, low back and right hip. The lawsuit claims she “has sustained and will continue to sustain pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of amenities and loss of earnings” and continues to receive medical
growing EXCELLENCE
treatment for her injuries. Williams is seeking damages, including loss of past and future income, loss of earning capacity and past and future health care costs, as well as any legal costs. Among many things, she says the defendants failed to ensure the bleachers were safe, didn’t supervise park users, did not ensure the erected tents were safe for use, failed to provide permanent safe covered areas and didn’t warn that erecting temporary structures could be unsafe. The allegations have yet to be proven and the defendants have not yet filed a response.

New Bosa tower plan approved Construction of the final two towers of White Rock’s Miramar Village is expected to get underway next spring, following council support Monday for a bylaw authorizing amendments to the project’s original design. Council voted 4-2 in favour of the bylaw, with Mayor Catherine Ferguson and Coun. Helen Fathers opposed, and Coun. Doug McLean absent. The same vote resulted in final approval of the amended development permit for the project, at Johnston Road between Russell and Thrift avenues. Bosa Properties officials applied last year for amendments to the towers, citing the economic downturn. They asked to increase the number of residential units; reduce the units’ sizes in order to make them more affordable; reduce commercial
floor area (attributed to the loss of the government liquor store); and increase residential parking. Explaining her votes, Ferguson said she was swayed by concerns expressed by residents of the first two towers. Impact on views was one of the biggest concerns expressed by residents who attended a May 9 public hearing. Many who spoke were also upset that amendments to the project had even been proposed – they invested in the original plans, they said. Ferguson said after the meeting that while she supports the project itself, “I just felt I had to respect” the residents. Fathers said she is worried about the impact an increase in the number of residential units will have on an already difficult traffic situation in the area. - Tracy Holmes

editorial
It’s time for fair representation in Parliament ne of the most annoying inequities in federal politics, other than the Senate, may soon be corrected. The Conservative government, freshly elected with a majority of seats, plans to bring in legislation to give B.C., Alberta and Ontario the actual number of Commons seats those fastgrowing provinces deserve. It’s long overdue. While many people think that the House of Commons is a “rep by pop” institution, that is not the case. There are certain constitutional guarantees that keep some parts of Canada vastly over-represented. While each province or territory should have at least one seat, Prince Edward Island, for example, has four MPs for its 136,000 residents. Residents there have almost four times as many MPs as in South Surrey and White Rock, where Russ Hiebert (South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale), Nina Grewal (Fleetwood-Port Kells) and Jinny Sims (Newton-North Delta) preside over ridings ranging from 112,000 to 124,000 residents each. In other words, votes of PEI residents are four times more powerful than those of Surrey or White Rock residents. Unfortunately, because of these guarantees, including one that says Quebec must have 75 seats, the only way to properly represent Canada’s growing population in the House of Commons is by adding seats. At present, there are 308 MPs. It could be argued that is perhaps 50 too many. However, it is better to have too many MPs than to have some fast-growing areas of the country, like B.C.’s Lower Mainland, severely under-represented in Ottawa. Under-representation of B.C. and Alberta is perhaps the most glaring problem (the proposal would see B.C. get seven more seats and Alberta five), because both provinces rarely get the attention in Ottawa that Ontario does. Ontario never has any trouble getting attention. The same cannot be said for Western Canada, even though a large proportion of economic and population growth in Canada now comes from the four western provinces. Fairness is fundamental to a healthy democracy. If this proposal comes to pass, Canada’s population will be more fairly represented in Parliament.

yes 77% no 23% 77 responding Perhaps he’s referencing the recent parent disputes with the Burnaby School District’s attempts to combat homophobia. Or maybe he’s noting that our television screens (if not the movie screens) have promoted acceptance of what Schouten clearly considers a perilous lifestyle. Maybe it’s another issue entirely. (I’m only certain he’s not referring to the spate of gay-teen suicides in the United States last year, nor the taunting and bullying gay people have experienced throughout our history… but I digress.) Regardless of its genesis, Schouten’s opinion is sure to enrage some and engage others, and it is that much more significant when one considers that he received the backing of the Christian Heritage Party as candidate for South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale in the May 2 federal election. All the more reason to quote him – and others who run for office – accurately and often. As voters, we don’t need to be blindsided by having candidates suddenly coming out of left – or right – field on issues, should they ever win. One caller Thursday morning suggested I should have, as editor, reworded Schouten’s letter so that it was less of a call-to-arms for homophobes. I respectfully disagree. If I were to make his letter more tame – less unpalatable – not only would it be unfair to him, it would be unfair to you. And then I can only imagine what you’d call me.

Easy answer to HST question Editor: I really get a kick out of these people who insist that ‘Big Business’ must pay their fair share of taxes. Or those who don’t care if small business, or any business, will be helped out by the HST. The fact is, and it’s quite simple, if a business’s tax is increased, that business will increase the costs of its products to compensate. At the same time, there is a good chance that the business will also reduce its workforce in order to cut its costs. This is pretty basic stuff which only needs a small bit of intelligence and common sense to understand. Yes, the way the HST was implemented was dumb, but at the end of the day, it is saving businesses money and it will help to keep businesses operating. There is more than just a seven per cent savings for business, as the paperwork becomes simpler. Saves the government a bit, too, in less separate paperwork being sent in. Business is there to make a profit. Period. No profit, no business. No business, no jobs. It is that simple. Don’t kid yourself. The consumer always pays for higher taxes – either through increased costs, or by lowered wages or losing jobs. The HST is actually protecting us in that way, as we now have the choice whether or not to make a purchase and pay the tax. When business pays high taxes, that choice is taken away from us. Harald Gill, Surrey Q Question for government: Do the people who are voting against HST want to wait for three years for a change? They want the change now. Ralph E. Johnson, Surrey Q HST or GST/PST. That is the question. In the early days of the battle, we are bombarded with governmentadvertised “stick people” telling their “unbiased” opinions of the debate. There is nothing fair or unbiased about the ads. The GST/PST stick supporters are fewer in number and appear unsmiling, unsure, bewildered and angry. They seem to have little cohesiveness – shown by their distance from each other. Many of their signs are obscured. The HST stick supporters are more united, as evidenced by their closeness to each other. They have more members with smiling and positive faces. They show solidarity with more visible and clear signage. The ads say: decide for yourself; to learn more, go online. The problem is, there are voters out there who don’t own a computer – gasp! – and/or have limited or no access or are computer challenged. These ads assume Internet access. There are no other options given. So, on behalf of these voters I say: indirectly or subconsciously we are seeing these biased ads and have no avenue to learn more. Voter apathy arises from people who are not able to make an informed decision.
Hopefully, somewhere between now and July 22, all residents of B.C. will have the information made available to participate in this important decision. Barbara Turner, White Rock
City obliged to maintain value Editor: Re: Personal gains not the priority, May 27 letters. For those who propose governance in an equitable manner, I assume you propose we all pay the same tax rate, that our homes are all assessed equally regardless of market value. Should the dumpy shack off the lane pay the same revenue to the city as the view home on the bluff? Or, do you mean ‘equitable’ only when it suits you? Municipalities assess property taxes based on many criteria, only one of which is view. There can be upwards of millions of dollars difference between two properties identical in every way, other than view quality. When there is a quantifiable value set on an asset,
and when a private citizen stands to lose an asset’s value because it can’t be maintained through no fault of their own, the municipality has an obligation to maintain that value. One alternative is to remove that view’s value from the equation. No city is going to do that and thereby reduce their tax base. But they cannot have it both ways. Litigations will ensue if the tree policy is deemed unreasonable. The city will lose; you will foot the bill. If one was to believe the flawed, out-of-context math applied by letter-writer S. Watkins– “A single tree can have a 61 per cent rain interception rate, providing $25,000 to $35,000 to our (Storm Water Management) plan” – why have we not all floated away on the recordbreaking rainfall this spring? There is far more development and less tree canopy now than in past years, when hillside ravines washed out. Perhaps Watkins would like to be more specific on what tree species and what calliper would be capable of such numbers. Should the hillside have massive species of western red cedar and Douglas fir tucked between the houses? About as ludicrous a suggestion as the touted facts that prompted it. In the May 27 news article, Tree
policy needs clarification: committee, environmental committee chair Wilma Boyd emphasizes: “It needs to be clear that any healthy tree on city property will be staff ’s and only staff ’s choice as to how that tree is going to be dealt with.” If that is a fair statement, substitute the words “city” for “private,” and “staff ’s” for “homeowner’s.” It might surprise those who regularly march on city hall that not everyone wants increased government regulations and interference in their private lives. There are too many self-appointed gatekeepers these days, too keen on dictating how others should live: the hippie who comes to the protest in the exhaust-spewing van; the young mother who douses her home with anti-bacterial sprays, then shops organic-only; the environmentalists who chain themselves to trees for the sake of media coverage. There are so many more-worldly causes worth fighting for other than whether your neighbour wants trees removed. Focus on industry and agriculture practices, for a start. Can you not see the bigger picture? Mother Nature is a resilient b----! She has far more capacity for renewal than given credit for. Those of us who have devoted much of our lives to her, who put our knowledge into action, are simply fed up. The best we can do is mind our business, with hopes others do the same. P. Tyler, Surrey

A stencilled image on White Rock’s promenade is welcomed by Pat Petrala.
City doesn’t roll over An open letter to White Rock city council and staff. The no-dog stencils on the promenade entry areas are excellent. I had been watching for improvements on the promenade since writing last year about this concern. Extend my thanks to the bike patrol and other kind city crew that have helped. My last encounter in March with a young man, his gal and the bull mastiff on the promenade was quite a shouting match with his foul language. The stares from others –
and head shakes – did encourage him to go back to his car in the west lot from the museum in front of the kiosk. He then proceeded to drive the wrong way on the one way parking lot. I wished I had a cellphone to call the police. I am sure many people appreciate the clarity of these no-dog stencils and no one can miss them. Thank you for helping to keep the area safe, hopefully eliminating barking/yapping and ankle bites, and the area clean from urine and feces. Pat Petrala, White Rock
Editor: Re: Million-dollar views for all, May 13 letters. I can just see it, a council policy to preserve the ocean views in White Rock for those who live in Surrey. A Surrey letter writer to Peace Arch News believes White Rock owes them a “million-dollar view,” proposing to have trees removed from the slopes of Duprez Ravine. After examining over 30 recent slides to the Semiahmoo bluff, I can attest to the removal of trees and construction on the slopes contributing to the slides. Removing trees will help destabilize slopes and cause mudslides to perhaps damage homes below the ravine. Topping of trees is now a practice frowned upon by almost all tree experts. Besides causing stress to the trees, many of these cuts invite rot and make trees vulnerable. For some who walk in the ravine, these topped trees can be dangerous to human life. Views do exist in the park. One can sit on a bench and enjoy the trees and ocean all at the same time. It has been said the public trees in White Rock belong to all citizens, not just those living beside them. Now, since a resident of Surrey feels the residents of White Rock owes them a view, I hope they feel just as entitled to pay White Rock taxes. White Rock would do well to follow its own tree bylaw. This would prevent further conflicts between neighbours and help to build community rather than destroy it. Phil Le Good, White Rock

Millions of HST ballots ready to be mailed out Black Press
VICTORIA – If they’re not disrupted by a strike at Canada Post, more than three million voting packages will be sent out in mid-June so voters can have their say on the harmonized sales tax. Voting packages will be sent out the week of June 13 to Vancouver Island and B.C. Interior locations, Elections BC officials said in a media briefing Monday. Packages will be mailed to Lower Mainland homes the week of June 20, in an effort to have all delivered by June 24. Canada Post employees have given notice that they may go on strike by Friday. If a strike disrupts the province-wide ballot on the HST, Elections BC will extend its return period as necessary to give voters time to consider the choice. Assuming no disruption in postal service, ballots must be completed and returned to Elections BC by July 22. They can be mailed in or returned to one of 60 Service BC offices around the province.
Assistant chief electoral officer Anton Boegman said Elections BC has allowed until Aug. 25 to count and verify every returned ballot, and announce a decision. Voters will mark a ballot yes or no to the referendum question: “Are you in favour of extinguishing the HST (harmonized sales tax) and reinstating the PST (provincial sales tax) in conjunction with the GST (goods and services tax)?” The ballots are to be marked and placed in a privacy envelope. That envelope goes inside a registration envelope that voters must sign and fill in with their date of birth. That envelope goes into a postage-paid return envelope to be mailed or dropped off at a Service BC location. Elections BC is also setting up five collection centres for ballots in the Lower Mainland, at Capilano Mall in North Vancouver, City Square Shopping Centre in Vancouver, Lougheed Town Centre in Burnaby, Semiahmoo Shopping Centre in Surrey and Willowbrook Shopping Centre in Langley.

Middleton family home after more than three years at sea
Return to shore Tracy Holmes

Staff Reporter
aryd Middleton has gazed into the belly of a bubbling volcano, walked through jungles infested with vicious Macaw monkeys and been frisked by a mischievous orangutan. He didn’t come away without learning a thing or two. “Always bring bananas,” the White Rock teenager says, sharing one of the many tips gleaned while sailing with his parents, Glen and Marilyn, over the past 3½ years. Bananas, Jaryd explains, are good for bribing the resident orangutans that greet visitors who arrive at the docks in Kalimantan, Indonesia. With a banana in hand, it’s easier to convince the long-fingered – and incredibly strong – primates to let go, he said. “The second you try and pass it, it holds onto you,” Jaryd says of the female that took a hankering to him as he tried to head for shore. “They basically frisk you for bananas.” The experience was one of many the darkhaired 14-year-old will not soon forget. In fact, relaxing in their Cliff Avenue home just a few days after their recent return to dry land, all three of the Middletons are hard-pressed to name just one or two highlights from the journey that took them across thousands of miles of open waters, from Vancouver to French Polynesia, New Zealand, the Cook Islands and as far as Malaysia – 15 countries in all. “We’ve had so many experiences, it’s hard to cherry-pick,” Marilyn notes. “So many amazing experiences...” The Middletons set out on their adventure in August 2007, aboard their 50-foot Waterline steel cutter, SV Tin Soldier. They coast-hopped down to the Baja Haha rally race, met up with Marilyn’s daughters – Lindsay and Erin – in Mazatlan, then embarked on a 3,000-mile leg across the Pacific to French Polynesia. They navigated the Cook Islands and New Zealand – hunkering down for a few months in the latter – then made their way to up to Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. Along the way, there were moments of relaxing, meeting new friends – playing

bingo where the grand prize was a live pig – and reconnecting. Glen made a similar journey about 25 years ago, and made a point of revisiting a few of those stops with his family this go ’round. Hard work played a much larger role, however, in keeping everything ship-shape, staying on top of weather patterns and in simply living life at sea. Contrary to the utopian vision of hammocks, blue skies and cocktails, sailing is not always as smooth as some might imagine. “Many times, if you’re in the middle of the ocean and something goes wrong, you’re all

Even day-to-day chores that most people do without thinking – such as laundry or buying groceries – become a job when home is a sailboat, sometimes taking up an entire day to accomplish just one. “Everything you do is a bigger deal,” Marilyn says. “It’s not the sort of carefree, off-into-the-sunset people imagine. It’s one that’s simpler in some ways, but in some ways, the stakes are high.”

Like in September 2009, when Glen and Jaryd were readying to explore a Second World War wreck off the coast of Vanuatoo and a tsunami hit Samoa, prompting their guides to whisk them out of the water and up to high ground. Or in February, when Somali pirates hijacked the 58-foot SV Quest in the waters of the Indian Ocean, killing four American hostages. The Middletons were in Thailand at the time but had been in Fiji at the same time as the Quest. “A number of people we know knew those folks,” Glen says. Friends who were 500 miles off the coast of India at the time changed course as a result of the incident, choosing to avoid see page 12

Family to remain in port for few years from page 11 the very real risk of running into pirates themselves. They instead had their 46-foot boat transported to Turkey – at a cost of $650 per foot. Another friend – a full-blown diabetic – left his family in the Maldives and risked the passage solo. If he had been taken by pirates, it would have been “a death sentence,” Glen notes. As sad and frightening as the events were, none have dampened the Middletons’ love of the water. For Glen, 59, that love stretches back decades. The retired South Surrey elementary school principal was drawn to sailing while studying at Simon Fraser University. He set out on his first journey in August 1985, travelling with friends from Vancouver to Japan. “It was before Marilyn. It wasn’t nearly as much fun,” he quips. Marilyn knew when she and Glen connected through their common careers – Marilyn retired from her teaching position at the Cloverdale Learning Centre by email, 18 months into their journey – that his dowry was a sailboat. Her passion, however, is more for the lifestyle than sailing itself. “I love the adventure of the lifestyle,” Marilyn says. “I don’t like the grungy days, where you’re heeled over.” The Middletons took their first trip as a family 10 years ago, when Jaryd was just four. The “shakedown cruise” to Mexico and Hawaii was a test to see if the lifestyle was a good fit. It was. For Glen, a highlight of the trip was realizing his dream of owning a cannon. He remembers such a weapon was all he’d wanted for his 50th birthday. The dream came to fruition when their journey took them to the Spice Islands, where they tracked down someone willing to sell a 22½-kilogram swivel cannon that, centuries ago, would have been mounted on the rail of a Portugese ship. “Much to Marilyn’s chagrin, I actually got this back on the plane,” Glen chuckles, as Jaryd hoists the cannon onto his

shoulder. “It went right through customs – no muss, no fuss.” He is similarly proud of a Dutch sabre he bought for $20 from a local café the following day. It had been found two days prior, 150 feet below the surface, during a dive off the island of Banda. The 15th-Century weapon had been “sitting on the bottom of the ocean for hundreds of years,” Glen marvels. “It’s a real keepsake.” Jaryd’s desire to be a ‘normal’ teenager played a role in the family’s decision to return to dry land. As much as the teen enjoyed the adventure – which included attending school in New Zealand and Australia while the family waited out cyclone season – he longed to do the same things his Canadian peers were
doing. Adjusting to the return has been the hardest part, Jaryd says. Still, it is good to be home. “I love being in a house, being able to have dairy products, not being completely sweaty all the time.” The family has committed to remain in port until Jaryd finishes high school. But two maps that hang on an upstairs wall of the family home hint the future has more on the horizon. Blue and red pen lines and dates trace Glen’s 1985 route and the latest adventure. A third, penciled line and a coral-hued Post-it note reference fall 2012. “We were thinking very seriously, and still want to, to go up to the Red Sea. But it isn’t going to happen now, simply because of the very real threat that is there,” Glen says. “There’s a lot of oceans out there. We’ll pick one of them and probably end up in South Africa.”

Crews work on the Pioneer Bicycle Overpass in March. 99 will soon provide an important new connection from the Rosemary Heights West neighbourhood to the Semiahmoo Trail and the rest of South Surrey. “We are very close to completion,” Boan said. Crews are also finishing work on the $5.3-million Tynehead Bridge over Highway 1 at 168 Street. Boan said the city still has more trail work planned for the years ahead. The Highway 1 bridge connects the Green Timbers bike path south of the freeway to the Fraser Heights bike path and other trails on the north side. Fraser Heights residents can also use the bridge to reach Tyne-
head Regional Park, where Metro Vancouver is adding to its own trail system. Other work being wrapped up means almost all of the planned cycling upgrades unveiled by the city two years ago will be finished by this summer, Boan said. That includes a total of 10.6 kilometres of new bike pathways, including additions to the Cloverdale Bicycle Path along 176 Street south of Fraser Highway, as well as added segments to the Wildflower, Serpentine, Green Timbers, Fraser Heights and Clayton bike paths.

Three new bridges for cyclists and pedestrians are opening up major new routes for non-motorized recreation and commuting by green-minded residents. The bridges are part of a $12.5-million flurry of bike route improvements over the past two years led by the City of Surrey with grants from the federal and provincial governments. “This is the largest investment we’ve ever had in cycling in the city,” Surrey manager of transportation Jaime Boan said. “It’s reflective of the change of philosophy of the city as we mature. We’re looking to broaden the opportunities and choices for residents in moving around the city.” The first big piece of the puzzle – the $1.2-million North Creek Bridge in north Cloverdale – opened this spring, linking neighbourhoods around 180 Street south of Fraser Highway with a local school. And the city is putting the finishing touches on two even bigger bridges. The $2.5-million Pioneer Bicycle Overpass over Highway

or the second year in a row, Lazuli Buntings are singing in an overgrown prairie patch north of Boundary Bay, one of only two locations in the Lower Mainland. This small songbird has brilliant blue Anne Murray plumage, recalling the semi-precious gemstone, lapis lazuli. As it tilts back its head to sing, the turquoise blue of its head and back is accentuated by a red-orange chest and white belly. Blue is an unusual colour in the animal kingdom, especially in the north, where muted shades of brown or grey, blending with the landscape, are far more common. Blue plumage is not a result of pigmentation but a consequence of light refraction

A Lazuli Bunting is one of the province’s most colourful birds. through microscopic bubbles in the feathers’ structure. This is the reason the Steller’s jay (the common blue jay of the west, and B.C.’s provincial bird) will often appear very dark or even black, until, in turning, its back and tail suddenly flash with rich blue tones. Many species of birds and insects have such structural modifications that create dramatic iridescence. Butterfly wings have crystal nanostructures (think unbelievably small) that selectively scatter light, revealing breathtaking colours. The glittering throats, or gorgets, of male hummingbirds are caused by a combination of refraction and pigmentation, as is the green plumage of many tropical birds.
Carotenoids are natural pigments that reflect specific wavelengths of light, and result in red and orange colours, like those suffusing the plumage of house finches and orioles. As male house finches mature, their red colour intensifies. Black or brown colours in animals are due to the pigment melanin, which is also found in humans. It is synthesized within the body, unlike carotenoid which animals cannot produce. Birds with red or orange plumage must therefore obtain their pigment from consuming parts of plants, such as seeds and berries. Even experienced naturalists can be deceived by the colour of a bird’s plumage, if viewing conditions are difficult. The speculum on a mallard’s wing can look green or blue, depending on the angle, while even brilliant plumage can look dark when seen against the light. Keep your eyes open for those bright plumaged songbirds, including the elusive Lazuli Bunting visiting the delta this summer. Anne Murray is the author of two books on nature and the natural history of the Lower Mainland: A Nature Guide to Boundary Bay and Tracing Our Past ~ A Heritage Guide to Boundary Bay, both available at local bookstores; see www. natureguidesbc.com

Laronde Elementary Grade 7 students Danielle Deslauriers and Kirsten Griffiths sort through containers at a bottle drive to raise money for the ALS Society of B.C. At right, students with teacher Alison Bennett.
ighteen months after having to quit her post teaching music at Laronde Elementary, Alison Bennett continues to inspire. Last week, that inspiration resulted in the collection of hundreds of bottles and cans that translated into $676 for the ALS Society of B.C. – an amount that pushed organizers of Team Laronde past their goal of raising $4,000 in Bennett’s honour. “I think we can reach it,” grinned Hannah Jiwani, as students, parents and teachers worked to organize empties dropped off during the afternoon bottle drive. “Our goal was originally $1,000. We were collecting so much that I had to raise it.” Jiwani, in Grade 9 at Earl Marriott Secondary, took music with Bennett at Laronde and was a main character in the last performance Bennett directed at the school before ALS (Amyotrphic Lateral Sclerosis) forced her to quit. The 48-year-old was diagnosed with the progressive and incurable neuromuscular disease in February 2009. Its symptoms first presented in her hands, and progressed to the point that she had to give up teaching the following November. Over the past year, it has stolen Bennett’s ability to walk and talk.
But it has yet to break her spirit. Bennett is “incredibly strong,” friend and former colleague Amanda Myring said. “Really, really stubborn, but in a good way.” Myring is among about two dozen students, staff and parents who have signed on to Team Laronde – formed by Jiwani – to participate in the June 11 Walk for ALS. Jiwani, who is a close friend of Bennett’s son, Ian, is determined to help find a cure. “Ms. Bennett was very close to me,” she said, noting her uncle is also living with the disease. “They’re this close to finding a cure and I want to be part of it.” The Surrey Walk for ALS takes place June 11. Donations may be made at www.walkforals.ca; click on ‘make a pledge’ and search for Team Laronde.

The economy isn’t great there yet but it’s still a huge opportunity for companies that haven’t done business (there) before.” Building Bridges to Prosperity will be held 7:45 a.m. to 4 p.m. (doors open at 7:15 a.m.) at Sheraton Guildford Hotel, 15269 104 Ave. “We’re awfully proud we’re doing this in Surrey,” Timm said. “Surrey, being a huge vested interest benefactor from crossborder trade, having two border crossings coming in right from the U.S., the city obviously has a huge vested interest in this.” Tickets are $270, and include breakfast and lunch.

Transit users wanted to know when SeaBus and West Coast Express frequency would be increased and when the promised 531 bus route from White Rock to Langley will be started. Jarvis said more funding is needed to expand, but added the 531 is definitely a priority when extra revenue is secured. TransLink Commissioner Martin Crilly noted TransLink only spent half of the $400 million it said it would spend on capital projects last year – despite getting approval from the mayors in 2009 to raise fares, add three cents to the gas tax and triple the pay parking tax to cover the initiatives. Chief financial officer Cathy McLay said many projects were delayed because TransLink spent considerable time restructuring its operations, but added they will proceed.

NDP accuses Liberals of stifling debate on HST changes
Legislature winds down Tom Fletcher Black Press
John Horgan said the government’s reduction of legislature time is an affront to the citizens who elected MLAs to represent them. “We sat for four days the previous 10 months,” Horgan said. “We have a four-week session to deal with a $40 billion
budget and a handful of bills at the start that turned into 15 bills, one of which is a treaty.” Under the NDP government in 2000, the Nisga’a treaty debate took 147 days, and the same year hundreds of hours were spent debating ministry budgets, Horgan said.
VICTORIA – The BC Liberal government has rejected an NDP request to extend the spring legislative session past this week, and pushed through its plan to offer a reduced rate for the harmonized sales tax.

Latest production from White Rock Players Club, The Cat’s Meow, opens June 8
Real-life Hollywood scandal brought to stage Alex Browne Arts Reporter
Contributed photo
Marissa Whiteway, Paul Kloegman and Michael Jenkins appear in The Cat’s Meow.
Adultery, jealousy, bootleg liquor, violence, blackmail and Jazz Age excess – these are the volatile ingredients of the play, The Cat’s Meow, by Steven Peros, which receives its Canadian premiere June 8 at the Coast Capital Playhouse, in a White Rock Players production directed by Shelagh Shermann. It’s inspired by a real-life Hollywood scandal of the 1920s, one that legendary pioneer film director D.W. Griffith summed up succinctly in later years. “All you have to do to make Hearst turn white as a ghost is mention (Thomas) Ince’s name,” he said. “There’s plenty wrong there, but Hearst is too big to touch.” Griffith was referring to an ill-starred
weekend on newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst’s yacht in November of 1924 – a pleasure cruise from San Diego that, according to whispers that circulated for decades, went very, very wrong. A mysterious death, galloping rumours, a botched investigation that to many screamed ‘cover up’ – all have made the cruise of the Oneida an enduring legend of the movie capital. Guest of honour on the cruise was Ince (played by Jason Dedrick), a once famed, but now forgotten, producer and director who was celebrating his 43rd birthday. A married man, he was on board with his mistress, the barely remembered movie actress Margaret Livingston (Alexandra Wilson), and his manager, George Thomas (Fred Partridge).
But other guests on the yacht – some of whom later denied they were there – have names that have remained lustrous. There was the beloved ‘Little Tramp’ of silent comedy, Charlie Chaplin (Michael Jenkins). And the middle-aged Hearst’s much younger mistress, movie actress Marion Davies (Marissa Whiteway). Lesser known today, but just as influential in their time, were fellow guests Elinor Glyn (Deborah Spitz), whose racy novels helped define the Roaring ’20s, and Louella Parsons (Jane Mantle), destined to be one of the gossip columnists that wielded unimaginable power in the Hollywood of the 1930s and 1940s. Most powerful of all was Hearst himself – a multi-millionaire capable of shaping see page 34

Plenty of risk in portraying stars from page 33 public opinion and influencing U.S. foreign policy, the model for Charles Foster Kane in the Orson Welles classic Citizen Kane. Played by Paul Kloegman, Hearst was a man known for dark vindictiveness toward employees and ruthlessness toward enemies. But he could also appear pathetically vulnerable in his need for, and deference to, Davies. While she was loyal to him in her own fashion, her naturally fun-seeking nature was vulnerable to flirtatious advances – particularly those of Chaplin, an infamous off-screen lothario who was about to be forced into a shotgun wedding with a former conquest. “Even though the play is based on events that happened in 1924, it isn’t that dissimilar to things that are going on now in terms of celebrity life – think of Arnold Schwarzenegger,” said Shermann, who admits that old Hollywood has always held a fascination for her. But even though it is dealing with celebrities far in the past, Sherman acknowledges that there are inherent risks in having actors depict people who are so famous – particularly in an amateur show where there is little scope for casting look-alikes.
Tomas Ince
W.R. Hearst
“I can only evoke the people,” she said, noting that Kloegman is not as large a man as Hearst – who was reportedly huge – while neither Jenkins as Chaplin or Dedrick as Ince are as short as their real-life counterparts. “But when I cast the roles, I felt confident I could get from the actors the characterizations I needed,” she added, noting that she’s encouraged them to research the real-life people. In the case of the more famous personalities, it helps that there is no direct depiction of their screen personas, she said. “I had to make a decision that Michael is playing Chaplin – not the Little Tramp. Chaplin, in real life, was an intelligent, attractive man; so much more than you see on screen. “When Michael came in to read he had the quality of a Chaplin. The physicality of the way he read was a little bit Chaplinesque.”
Whiteway also had the quality she was seeking for Marion Davies, she said. “She had the poise required of someone in her mid 20s who has been with Hearst some time now. She is comfortable in her role as Hearst’s hostess, even though she’s wanting to have a good time, and flirting dangerously with Chaplin.” Ince is a challenge for Dedrick’s emerging power as a dramatic actor – which was seen to great advantage this season in Earth and Sky, Shermann said. “He’s a man that’s desperate. He’s lost, basically, all of his power and he wants Hearst to put some money into his studio. He’s trying to get his reputation back.” Kloegman’s considerable acting talents make him larger-thanlife as Hearst, she added. “Just his stance and his way of speaking brings a power to the role. You see a lot of his awkwardness in dealing with social situations and younger people. You see his needs and his wants – and the jealousy that overtakes him.” The show runs in Wednesday to Saturday performances at 8 p.m. until June 25 (with a Sunday matinee June 19, 2:30 p.m.).

Author hopes to ignite debate from page 33 was an answer to that.” Rather than a woman “tearing down the world,” Evan is an Evelike figure who saves it, McLean said. He hopes readers will also take away from the relationship between two of the book’s characters – best friends whose constant arguing has signficant ramifications. “I think, especially in the States but here, too, we’re becoming a society where you have to have a position on everything and you have to be right. It seems like being right is more important than it ever used to be,” he said, noting the benefits of hearing other people’s opinions and learning why they think the way they do. “Debating things is a really healthy part of our society. We’ve made it less pleasant to have those discussions because (everyone) just wants to be right all the time.”
Evan raises a number of issues, McLean said, which he hopes generates discussion. “I like it when people think about issues in our society and I think it’s good when people talk about them,” he said. “I like ideas so I want to get them out there. Fiction is really just the delivery system for the idea.” Those interested in Evan are invited to meet with McLean at a book launch tomorrow (June 4) at 6:30 p.m. The event is being held at one of his favourite restaurants, Iguana’s Beach Grill, 14985 Marine Dr. “I’ve been going for 10 years now,” he said. “There’s a bar that plays a prominent role in the book. I call it Iguana’s as an homage to that.” Copies of Evan will be available for sale at the launch. It can also be purchased in Kindle and paperback formats on amazon.com For more info, visit spencermclean.com

I have hired a lawyer to represent me in a legal action against me. I have given him all the documents that help my case, but there are some that I have withheld. He keeps badgering me for documents that he has concluded that I must have. Why should I produce them if they don’t help my case? Shouldn’t he back off? I pay him so shouldn’t he do what I say?

The lawyer has a responsibility to insist that you produce all documents whether they support your case or not. It is one of the few times that the onus is on the lawyer himself to ensure that all documents which are relevant, or which may lead to other documents which are relevant, are produced by his client.

We are pleased to announce that Surrey is now collecting mattresses for recycling.
Mattress Collection Challenges
Surrey’s Response...Recycle It!
On January 1, 2011, Metro Vancouver placed a disposal ban on mattresses as they are operationally difficult to handle and recyclable when properly disassembled. Mattresses disposed of as garbage cannot be compacted – consuming a large amount of landfill space. In addition, the springs within mattresses often become tangled in equipment causing costly repairs. Customers that bring mattresses to regional transfer stations for disposal as garbage are charged $20/unit and are limited to only four (4) mattresses per load.
While Surrey had consequently stopped collecting mattresses via the Large Item Pickup Program as a result of the Metro Vancouver imposed disposal ban, the City has developed a process to recycle old unwanted mattresses. The City of Surrey will accept mattresses and box springs via the Large Item Pickup Program at no additional cost to residents. The collected mattresses will be delivered to a mattress recycling facility where they will be segregated into different materials and shipped to remanufacturing facilities to be processed into new reusable products.
How to Arrange Collection 1. Call Emterra Environmental at 604-635-5478 2. On the day of your appointment (or the evening before), place your mattress/boxspring at your curb. Ensure that your mattress is at the curb by 7:30am. * Please note that this program is available to households that are on the City’s door-to-door waste collection program. Mattresses or box springs will count towards your annual large item pickup limit of 4 items/calendar year.
For further information please visit www.surrey.ca or contact the Garbage & Recycling hotline at 604-590-7289. www.surrey.ca

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
South Surrey athletes among medal favourites at provincial meet
Schools may be on track for record-setting day: coach Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
South Surrey high schools have always been well-represented at B.C. High School Track and Field Championships, and its athletes have never failed to bring home medals each year. But this year, perhaps more than any other in recent memory, has the chance to truly be memorable, as the Semiahmoo Peninsula will be represented not only by medal-worthy competitors, but by athletes among the best for their age in the entire country. “It’s a heck of a group, that’s for sure, and all from the same area, too,” said Maureen
de St. Croix, who has as good a handle on the local scene as any, considering she is a longtime track and field coach with both Semiahmoo Secondary and also the Ocean Athletics club, which draws athletes from all South Surrey high schools. “I’ve seen good years, good athletes before, but not as many as right now. We’ve always had a few standouts, but this year is particularly good. It’s going to be really fun this weekend.” Track and field provincials are today (Friday) and Saturday at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium. Where Peninsula schools are expected to
fare especially well are in the senior boys middle-distance races, where the quartet of Semi’s Jack Williams, Earl Marriott’s Deon Clifford, White Rock Christian Academy’s Sean Keane and Elgin Park’s Jake Bruchet are all podium contenders in two events apiece. Throw in Fleetwood Park’s Keffri Neal, and Surrey could sweep Sean Keane the podium in both the 800 and 1,500-m races, while Williams is the favourite in the 3,000-m
After two years of work to restore his 1967 Chevrolet Camaro, Grant Eldridge finally took it to the track last weekend – where it promptly set a record on its very first run.
and Bruchet in the 2,000 steeplechase. All have impressive pedigrees. Neal and Keane – both of whom will run next season as teammates at the University of Kentucky next season – are currently ranked first and second, respectively, in the country in the junior 800-m; Williams is seventh Canadawide in the 3,000 and Bruchet is No. 2 in the country in his steeplechase distance. Where they’ll all collide this weekend is in the 1,500-m, making that race one of the meet’s marquee attractions. “They’re all there, and all capable of winning it,” said de St. Croix. see page 40

Racer’s car sets record in first run Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
A little over a year ago, Grant Eldridge came to the Peace Arch News with a problem. The longtime drag-racer had a car – a classic 1967 Chevrolet Camaro – that could, Eldridge predicted, challenge for a national record in its class. Trouble was, the car was in pieces. It had been taken apart in order to be painted, and Eldridge did not have the room to put it back together again, after his previous workspace, a friend’s garage, became unavailable. He put out a plea to the community, in the hope that someone would have extra space they’d let him use. And while he got a few offers, they were outdoor spaces, which were difficult to make use of in poor weather. As such, he decided instead to keep his in-progress Camaro stored in a trailer, dragging it out every evening or weekend morning to work on it, before packing it up again at night.

Grant Eldridge’s 1967 Camaro on the starting line. It was a tedious process that often tested his patience, but his persistence paid off last week when the re-assembled Camaro finally hit the track and Mission Raceway.
“Luckily, we got to spend the last three weeks at a friend’s garage – he’d gone to Mexico,” Eldridge explained. “But it was a long haul.” In Eldridge’s first race last Friday – the quarter-mile in the stock eliminator division – the car clocked a record time of 10.9 seconds. A day later, he broke his own mark by crossing the line in 10.87 seconds, hitting a top speed of 120.32 mph. “We were really, really impressed, blown away,” he said. “It’s a new car, hadn’t been (worked in) yet, and that was its very first run down the track – we hadn’t even had it out for a testing session before the Friday qualifier. “Without testing it, I had no idea what it would do – maybe the tires would spin off the start, maybe something else would go wrong… We did built it to set records like this, but everybody does that – not everybody succeeds.” The entire process, from first stripping the car all the way to re-assembly, took nearly two years, and Eldridge was see page 40

Sommer among medal hopefuls from page 39 “One, two, three in all those races are going to be phenomenal – they’re all up for grabs.” Keane won the 1,500 at provincials last year, and said despite the packed field, he isn’t nervous. In fact, the tough competition has only motivated him further. “I never go into a race intimidated,” he said. “I’m confident that I’m going to have a good race. It’s very important for me to go out there and defend my title. I’m looking forward to it.” Other contenders on the track, de St. Croix said, include Semi’s Vanessa Sjoberg, in the 400-m, and Alison Williams, in the 800.
“I’d be surprised if they don’t both get a medal,” she said. In field events, Elgin Park’s Ryan Sommer – also an Ocean Athletics club member – is the Peninsula’s best shot at a podium finish. At Fraser Valley’s last month, he won gold in discus and silver in both shotput and hammer throw. “I’m feeling pretty confident right now,” Sommer said. “In Grade 10 I finished eighth, last year I was fourth, so this time, it’d be really nice to get a medal.” At the national junior level, Sommer is ranked third in discus – one spot behind Victoria’s Adam Keenan, who will also be at Swangard – seventh in hammer
and ninth in shotput. “He’s throwing just fabulously right now,” said de St. Croix. A pair of Sommer’s Elgin Park teammates may also find themselves with some hardware this weekend. Max Hanna won gold in junior boys javelin at Valley, and in the Grade 8/9 meet – which runs concurrent with the senior event – Jake Hanna is the Fraser Valley title holder in the triple jump, 200-m and 80-m hurdles. Lord Tweedsmuir’s Hayley Stewart is another who may find herself with a medal; she won silver in the long jump at provincials last year, and was also third at Fraser Valley’s last month.

With his focus now back on the track rather than the garage, Eldridge, a South Surrey real estate agent when he’s not behind the wheel of a race car, is aiming to race at the NHRA Canadian National Open, slated for Mission July 22-24.

“I’m certain we can run even faster,” Eldridge said. “Last weekend, we ran very rich – there was lots of black smoke. But I think we’ve got that adjusted, which should allow the car to go even quicker.” But new record or not, Eldridge – and Cheryl, too, no doubt – is just happy to have the process finished. “Thank God it’s over,” he laughed. “I was just saying to my wife that has been the first week in months where we don’t have to go out and work on the car.”

Mariners douse Saints in rugby quarter-finals Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Earl Marriott Mariners head coach Adam Roberts called it a program-changer. And in light of his team’s 15-14 quarter-final victory over the higher-seeded St. George’s Saints at B.C. High School AAA Rugby Championships – a win which guarantees EMS a top-four finish in the province – it’s hard to argue with the coach’s assessment. “We pulled it off, it was huge,” Roberts said Thursday morning, a day after his team’s onepoint win over the No. 4-ranked Saints at Abbotsford’s Rotary Stadium. “It was so close, so intense. Sometimes you’re on the losing end of these types of games, but this time, it’s just really nice to be on the right side of it.” Against the Saints, the Mariners fell behind 7-0 early in the first half, but tied the game on an Ian McMaster try, which was converted by Quinton Wilms. In the second half, St. George’s made it a 14-7 game when they scored a try on what Roberts deemed a “real lucky bounce.” On the play, the Saints sailed a kick toward Marriott’s fullback, but the ball bounced high into the air and directly into the waiting arms of an oncoming Saints’ player, who bolted into the end zone for the go-ahead try. Later in the half, Marriott’s Liam Bealieu scored a try, which went unconverted to leave the Peninsula side trailing 14-12. With three minutes remaining in the game,
Volunteers sought Organizers of the Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship are seeking volunteers to lend a hand at next month’s weeklong event. The tournament, which runs from July 9-17, has volunteer opportunities in a variety of capacities, including gates, parking, hospitality, set-up and takedown, field crew and more. Volunteers with previous experience as scorekeepers and gameproduction staff are also needed. Additionally, any softball players born between 1997 and ‘99 who are members of Softball BC can sign up to be a Canadian Open bat girl, where they’ll get to work with one of the tourney’s elite teams. More than 80 teams are expected to take part in next month’s event, including some of the top national programs from across the world. Volunteers must commit to a minimum of 20 hours throughout the tournament. Those interested can fill out a volunteer application form online at www. canadianopenfastpitch. com/volunteerapp11. asp

A pair of Earl Marriott tacklers converge on a St. George’s ball-carrier in Wednesday’s win. Marriott was awarded a penalty kick, which Wilms slotted through for the lead. “And then for the next three minutes we just held the fort,” Roberts said, adding that Bobby Devaney was instrumental in helping
the Mariners run out the clock. After Wilms’ penalty kick, the Mariners kicked the ball back to the Saints, but Devaney was able to charge downfield, leap up and secure the ball for the Mariners, as the
clock continued to tick down. “Bobby’s a receiver on the football team and he’s got just sick hands,” Roberts explained. “He just leapt up there higher than everybody and pulled it down. It was huge for us, just huge.” The fifth-seeded Mariners last advanced to semifinals in 2009, when they upended another much higher seed, the Carson Graham Eagles – who, like St. George’s, are perennial contenders on the high school rugby scene. Earl Marriott played No. 1-ranked Shawnigan Lake in semifinal action Thursday night after Peace Arch News deadline – a game Roberts described as “another David versus Goliath matchup.” Shawnigan Lake, a private boarding school on Vancouver Island, has been one of the top rugby programs in the country for much of the last decade. They’ve won the last two provincial titles, and have been in the championship game six times in the last seven years. “It’s going to be tough, for sure. Those guys are like men out here,” Roberts said. “But our guys have a real hate-on for some of these private schools, so they’re ready. They’re pumped up – this is what we’ve played for. “We’re just going to have to eliminate our mistakes, because good teams will capitalize on them quickly.” The winner of Thursday night’s game advanced to the title game Saturday, against either Carson Graham or Oak Bay.

GVHBA holds Parade of Renovated Homes on June 12
Home renos come out in the open Homeowners in need of renovation inspiration, your wait is over. The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) is hosting its annual Parade of Renovated Homes on June 12, which will see homes across Metro Vancouver thrown wide open to show off their professional renovations. Homes in Burnaby, Coquitlam, New Westminster, Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver and Surrey will be open from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., and admission is $10. That price includes admittance to each home in the parade. GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson says the projects will show off leading-edge design, advanced construction techniques, energy-efficient features, and innovative building products from top-
quality renovators. “For the homeowner to agree to have their home open for the day is a testament to how pleased they are with the jobs,” he says. With homeowners in the Metro Vancouver area set to spend $4.4 billion on renovations in 2011, Simpson says the Parade will offer them a chance to see potential results and learn about what B.C. renovators have to offer. “Professional renovators, many of them award winners, will be on site to offer expert advice and discuss their craftsmanship,” he says. “There is a wide range in project values, offering homeowners an abundance of ideas they can possibly incorporate into their own renovations.” Check out www.gvhba.org to see the full list of participating homes.

Red Maple Park emphasizes community spirit by Colin Oswin
Are you looking to move out of a subdivision and into a community? Red Maple Park may be just what you’re looking for. Red Maple, from developer Polygon, features 122 townhome units built around an 8,400-square-foot resortstyle clubhouse full of amenities. The townhomes range from 1,198 to 1,566 square feet, with two or three bedrooms. Every home includes a deck or patio, and a private fenced yard. The exteriors feature Arts & Crafts-style architecture, which takes traditional, European elements and adds modern touches to provide a sleek, yet homey feel. “I think it just provides a nice, welcoming streetscape,” says Goldie Alam, vice-president of marketing for Polygon. “People are attracted to it because it feels so welcoming.” Inside, the homes are built around an open-plan layout, with nine-foot ceilings on the main floor.
“If you’re in the kitchen you can still see people in the living room,” Alam says. “It provides a great, open feel.” Kitchens feature granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances and fullheight ceramic tile backsplashes. Living areas feature large bay windows that fill the home with natural light, and decorative window shelves add a touch of character. Ensuite bathrooms have big walk-in showers, his-and-hers porcelain sinks and dual-flush toilets, along with a full-length vanity mirror perfect for getting ready before that big night out.
Alam says the clubhouse – The Maples Club – will act as an anchor and a central meeting place for the people who move into the development. “It’s at the heart of the community, and all of the homes are built around it,” she says. Outside, the clubhouse features a terrace with a pool and whirlpool. Inside, residents will find a gym, kitchen and a big meeting room with a fireplace. A screening room offers a massive TV and stadium seating – perfect for birthdays, the Stanley Cup finals featuring our own Vancouver Canucks or Oscar parties. “If you want to have a big group, it’s a good place to do it,” Alam says. Residents with guests staying over can rent one of two clubhouse suites for the night. The suites are outfitted like hotel rooms, and a concierge will be on hand to look after your guests. The lower floor of the clubhouse features an indoor park for the kids, with climbing structures and a childsized soccer field, with goal posts painted on the walls.
Outside, children will be able to play in the Maples Park located right next to the clubhouse, with traditional playground equipment as well as a fun bouncy floor. “On rainy days they can be inside playing, and on sunny days they can be outside,” Alam says. Located on 80 Ave., just east of 208 St., Red Maple Park offers easy access to several nearby restaurants and recreation centres, as well as the Willowbrook Shopping Centre. Several big box stores are located minutes to the south on 200 St. Sales started on March 26 for the initial release – 34 homes in total – and Alam says 32 are already sold. She says these homes represent good value and a great location for young families, and the grand opening proved it: Maples Park was packed with kids playing on the playground equipment. Homes at Red Maple Park start at $299,900. For more information, check out www.polyhomes.com/community/redmaple-park or call 604-888-8699.

People are attracted to it because it feels so welcoming,” says Goldie Alam, vice-president of marketing for Polygon.

TERRIFF, Sandy (nee Sandyne Marguerite Scobie) June 9, 1920 – May 21, 2011 Sandy passed away peacefully at her home in Westminster House, Surrey, in the presence of her son Blake and his wife Rita. Sandy was pre-deceased by her loving husband of 66 years, Floyd, and is survived by her five children and their families, including twelve grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren. A multitalented, intelligent, strong, wise, and loving woman with a wonderful sense of humour, Sandy’s greatest joy was her family. Although small in stature, she was huge in spirit, and leaves behind shining footprints for her loved ones to follow.
A small private memorial will be held on Sandy’s birthday, June 9th, to be followed by a full family Celebration of Life in the Okanagan at the end of August. The family asks anyone wishing to send donations in memory of Sandy, that they be sent to White Rock Peace Arch Hospital Foundation.
ST. JUDE… O Holy St. Jude, apostle and martyr, great in virtue, near Kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor of all who invoke your special patronage in time of need. To you I have recourse from the depth of my heart and how I beg you to whom God has given such great power, to come to my assistance. Help me in my present and urgent petition. (State Favour.) In return I promise to make your name to be invoked. Say three Our Father’s, and three Hail Mary’s and three Glory Be’s. St Jude pray for us and for all who invoke your aid. Say for nine days – Publication must be promised. This Novena has never been known to fail. SM
