ASK HOW YOU CAN LOSE 2 DRESS SIZES!

Surrey RCMP’s serious crimes unit is investigating after a six-week-old infant left sleeping in an idling car Monday night was inadvertently abducted when an opportunistic thief hopped behind the wheel. Police believe the culprit likely didn’t look in the back seat, where the baby was snuggled, when he or she stole the car from a driveway near 152 Street and 26 Avenue. The distraught family reported the incident to police shortly after the vehicle disappeared. It, and the baby, were quickly found abandoned – and unharmed – in the park-

ing lot of a funeral home near 148 Street and 28 Avenue. Police believe the thief abandoned the car as soon as it was realized there was a passenger. “The baby is safe and has been returned to the family,” said Const. Peter Neily. Neily would not disclose the sex of the baby or any further details, citing the ongoing investigation. He did say the incident is a reminder to residents not to leave their vehicles idling unattended or with keys in the ignition.

news OCP in final stages

Shaping Surrey’s future Kevin Diakiw Black Press

The most ambitious planning document prepared in Surrey in the last decade will go to council within weeks. The Official Community Plan (OCP) – that will map out how the city will grow for the foreseeable future – is in the final stages and is expected to be before council at an informal session next month. The last major OCP was prepared in 2001 (and updated in 2006) and represented a tectonic shift in the way the templates were previously prepared. The 2001 OCP reflected Surrey’s aggressive push to acquire more industry and commerce, and as such, the document lowered some of the barriers in potential locations.

Don’t put your 2010 Olympic red gloves away yet: MLA Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

Stephanie Cadieux rallies fellow MLAs to raise excitement for the Paralympic Games.

The Winter Games may be over, but B.C. residents should not extinguish their Olympic fever just yet, says Surrey-Panorama MLA Stephanie Cadieux. Instead, Cadieux is encouraging people to support Paralympic athletes when the 2010 Paralympic Games kick off today (Friday). “The Games are here again. Let’s remember to cheer on our Paralympian heroes as they represent our province and our country,” Cadieux said in a statement earlier this week. To fuel the fire, Cadieux, who has been in a wheelchair since suffering a spinal-

cord injury at age 18, challenged her fellow MLAs to a wheelchair race in the B.C. legislature Wednesday. “It was a nice way to raise awareness about disabilities and accessibility – that kind of thing,” she said from Victoria. “The enthusiasm was great. It was a lot of fun.” Cadieux, a Peninsula resident, has no official involvement in the Games, but said she plans to attend a few events as a fan. There’s a distinct Peninsula presence at the Paralympic Games, too. South Surrey’s Mary Benson, who was featured in last Friday’s Peace Arch News, will compete in para-Nordic (cross-coun-

try) skiing. And Tuesday afternoon in Hope, wheelchair tennis star and White Rock native Sarah Hunter took part in the torch relay as it made its way to Vancouver. Hunter is a two-time Paralympian, having competed in the 2004 Summer Games in Athens and the 2008 Games in Beijing. Though many of the downtown Olympic pavilions closed after the Winter Games ended Feb. 28, a few remain open – including Canada’s Northern House, the Robson Square celebration site and the Royal Canadian Mint pavilion, where medals are on display. The Paralympic Games end March 21.

The increase to White Rock pay parking rates has been estimated to offset this and bring in an additional $100,000, which would be applied to reduce the burden on White Rock taxpayers, Kurylo said. But Mayor Catherine Ferguson said these figures are only estimates, and the real impact will be judged only after the fact. “The majority of the money raised through the increase will go to the hard costs of parking,” Ferguson said, adding that parking rates have not been raised in years. “But the impact on the endusers of the parking spaces and parking lots remains to be seen,” she said.

editorial

Paralympians deserve an equal billing he Paralympic torch run began last week, but you’d be hard-pressed to find the kind of wall-to-wall news coverage and public adoration that blanketed the Olympic torch relay as it made its way to Vancouver for the opening of the 2010 Winter Olympics. In fact, the first day of the Paralympic torch relay generated only 278 articles in a Google news search. That’s a long way from the more than 13,000 articles produced about the Olympic torch run. That’s a shame. The Paralympics have come a long way since the first Games that began on the same day as the 1948 London Olympics, with only 16 competitors. But they’re still largely an afterthought. As the Paralympic Games begin, most of the pavilions and outdoor attractions that brought so much life into downtown Vancouver during the 2010 Winter Games have been dismantled, with the Robson Square celebration site and Canada’s Northern House being two notable exceptions. Instead of the saturation of live TV coverage – on a variety of networks – we enjoyed for the two weeks of the Vancouver Games, we’ll be lucky to see daily highlight packages. One of the charters of the International Olympic Committee is to “act against any form of discrimination affecting the Olympic Movement.” But by sanctioning a parallel Games for athletes with disabilities they are essentially excluding those athletes from competing alongside their Olympic colleagues, and instead forcing them into the shadows. Paralympians train and compete as hard as able-bodied athletes. The stories they have to tell are just as compelling, if not more so – as evidenced by Peninsula para-Nordic skier Mary Benson, who took up the sport after suffering a severe brain injury. Perhaps it’s time to take the integration of the Paralympics and Olympics to the next level, to run Paralympic events concurrently with Olympic competitions, include Paralympic medal counts with Olympic totals, house all the athletes in the Olympic Village together so they can learn from and inspire each other. After all, they’re all athletes, all there to compete to the best of their abilities.

129 responding on obsession, I’m an anomaly. Bev Boys, founder of White Rock Divers and an international diving judge, once told me that Quebec diver Alexandre Despatie, an Olympic medallist, is treated in his home province as “a rock star” – covered extensively in the media, and mobbed by autograph-seeking fans at every turn. I’d guess that he’s anomaly, too. But the just-finished Winter Games, like no Olympiad before, appear to have struck a real chord with Canadians, and not just those on the West Coast who saw first-hand the national pride and excitement the event fostered. Plenty of suggestions have been put forth in an attempt to keep that spirit alive. An all-amateur sports television channel was an idea floated by some in the days following the 2010 closing ceremonies, and the continued funding, in some form, of the Own the Podium program seems to have gained enough steam to become reality – which in itself should help keep our athletes in the spotlight long after the torch has been extinguished. Everybody loves a winner, after all. But first and foremost, our country’s amateur athletes need one thing: they need people to care. Perhaps that, more than anything else, will become the true legacy of the 2010 Games. Everything else – the money, the medals, the TV coverage – stems from that. It’s a nice dream, anyway.

Warm thanks for kind help Editor: Some very incredible people – angels – walk the pier in White Rock. On Dec. 27, my 90-year-old mom and I were on the pier enjoying a walk around the noon hour, when mom tripped on the uneven surface and fell. She hit hard on her nose and forehead, and was bleeding heavily. In seconds, there were several people gathering around to help. One person held mom’s purse, others provided Kleenex and – incredibly, out of the blue – another provided a wheelchair. I want to make special mention of Karen, who assisted with first aid and rode with mom in the back seat as I drove to the hospital. Mom is on the mend and doing very well. It was heartwarming to be the recipients of all this kindness and willingness to get involved. A huge thanks to all of you. Emma and Bryan Ludwig, Victoria ■ Last Monday, after an amazing Olympic day, I had a fall at the corner of Martin Drive and Southmere Crescent East. No damage to me except grazed hands, but I couldn’t get up. However, a group of teenagers, who I presume were going home from school, rushed over and got me to my feet. I was very much touched by their care and concern. In the days of bad news about youth, these young people’s maturity and thoughtfulness deserve a big round of applause. The warm hug I received from one of the young ladies was also much appreciated! J. Millar, Surrey

WR train stop makes sense Editor: Re: Engraved plaques still on track, Jan. 15. I’m sure it’s very nice to see the engraved plaques outside the old museum. Does this mean the building will be restored to its original use as a railway station? As has been said before, it does not make sense for people traveling to the U.S. to go into the Via Rail/ Amtrak station on Terminal Avenue just to come back through White Rock. M.E. Davidson, White Rock

Growth wrong answer for city Editor: Re: Future of city to be defined, Jan. 13 letters. Regarding the comments by E. Weimer, why do people constantly

insist on increased growth in White Rock when we do not have the proper facilities or infrastructure in place to support this? While I agree we as a society are over-populated, increased growth in our small community is not the answer. And I think we have already spoken loud and clear as a community about this. We have even agreed to increase low-density buildings to 12 storeys, within reason, yet pro-builders are not insisting on 21 storeys. If you are a homeowner seeking lower taxes, a real estate agent

seeking more sales or a building contractor wanting more permits, I suggest that you move to a community that can and will support growth in order to achieve your goals. Cheryl Berti, White Rock

Not the best place on earth Editor: I would say to everyone who says B.C. is the ‘best place on earth,’ that

they have not travelled much. It is the best place to avoid sunburn. It is the best place to get some arm exercise by opening an umbrella. It is the best place to have boring conversations with ex-lumbermen, pier workers and not too many professionals to raise issues and give one a spirited conversation at least. Why did I move here? Well, the pollution from cars in a city that too many came to love caused me to leave. I thought the air here might be cleaner! Eleanor Peddle, Surrey

Colleen Donnelly sings the national anthem at the 2005 Semiahmoo All-Star Hockey Cup at South Surrey Arena.

O Canada has room for change Editor: The recent decison by the federal government to leave the English version of the anthem as is, has encouraged me to write this letter. As someone who was born in the former colony of “The Dutch East Indies” in 1929, and is neither of French, nor British ancestry, I consider myself free of any bias. I became a naturalized Canadian citizen in 1969. There are currently two versions of our national anthem: the English and the French. Canada is officially a bilingual country; still the only one in the whole world where both French and English have equal status. This is reflected in all federal institutions, in our bank notes, parks, police, postal services, etc. So why not extend this bilingualism to our national anthem? In the current English version, there are two words that have caused objections: “native” and “sons.” We could eliminate these offending words by replacing the phrases where they appear by the first two phrases of the original French version. The younger generation of English speakers will have no problem memorizing two simple French phrases. We would not just get rid of the two offending words, but at the same time emphasize that Canada is a bilingual country! Moreover, the two French phrases are very nice and colourful. In my expectation, those people who for sure will raise objections to a bilingual national anthem will be in the majority already of a certain age. They will not determine the future of this country. It reminds me of the furor about the Maple Leaf when it was hoisted for

the first time on Parliament Hill. I saw firsthand when Diefenbaker watched in tears the replacement of the Red Ensign. Where are those objectioners of the Maple Leaf now? Dr. Liat Tan, Surrey ■ Are we a nation that increasingly only mouths the words to our national anthem? I could be wrong but viewing all the Olympic success at the podium seemed to suggest some folks don’t quite know the words to O Canada. Perhaps this was due to excitement or for linguistic reasons. Nonetheless, it makes me wonder if the fact that more and more Canadian schools no longer sing the anthem regularly could be causing the confusion. I liked singing the anthem every morning in elementary school. Although I didn’t realize it at the time, it gave us kids a sense of unity, if only for that moment. To me, the anthem is respectful of a vast, inclusive land that we strive to protect in many different ways. Oddly enough, we were quick to protect the current lyrics, although the song has gone through previous transformations. A recent suggestion to change the anthem into something more ‘gender-inclusive’ was rapidly rejected by the public. It seems that women do not require the validation of a politically sensitive anthem. Ironically, the suggested minor change from ‘in all thy sons command’ to ‘in all of us command’ would probably have gone unnoticed by those of us who are challenged to remember the lyrics.

B.C. government banking on gambling gains Jeff Nagel Black Press

The provincial government is betting gamblers lose more money in B.C. this year and help mop up some of the red ink in the budget. So far, it’s been a safe wager. The profits Victoria extracts from gambling have soared over the last decade to $1.1 billion a year. Players collectively leave behind $2 billion a year at B.C. Lottery Corp.-run games. That works out to $437 lost on gambling for every man, woman and child in the province in 2009. (Elsewhere in Canada, Ontario residents lose $384 per capita gambling and Quebeckers lose on average $361 each.) B.C. residents’ annual per capita loss is projected to climb to $460 this year and reach $503 by 2012, or a total of $2.27 billion, according to the BCLC service plan filed with the provincial budget. The province and lottery corporation have done all they can to ensure the trend continues. New casinos and a proliferation of slot machine-equipped community gaming centres (formerly bingo halls) has pushed the number of slots in B.C. above 10,000 in recent years, a more than four-fold increase since 2001. And now the BCLC is counting on rapid

growth of online gambling through its PlayNow.com website. E-gaming through PlayNow pulled in $14.8 million from players last year and generated $3.1 million in net profit. But BCLC still has only one-sixth of an estimated $87 million that B.C. residents spend each year on e-gaming, much of it playing online poker with private out-ofprovince operators. The lottery corporation aims to quickly deal itself a better hand, however. Last September, it raised the weekly online gambling limit on PlayNow from $120 to $9,999. BCLC now projects PlayNow e-gaming profits will more than triple to $10.8 million this year and hit nearly $40 million by 2012. BCLC says it is consulting experts in responsible gambling with a view to adding more controls, particularly as it adds casino-style games to its online offerings. PlayNow already has age controls to block those under age 19, pop-up reminders about gambling responsibly and information on the odds of winning. Other parts of B.C.’s gambling industry look less robust. Spending on lotteries and at casinos flatlined during the recession. “Consumers have changed their spending

habits, in particular on discretionary and entertainment activities,” the BCLC service plan says, cautioning that

million this time – up 27 per cent – and that’s expected to climb to $120 million by 2012. BCLC is also relying heavily on promotions,

perspectives â&#x20AC;Śon the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Health issues force couple to find â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;forever homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for golden retriever

Despite challenges, Willie is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;worth itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Tracy Holmes

Staff Reporter

eâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young, blond and walks with a bit of a swagger â&#x20AC;&#x201C; characteristics that might lead one to assume heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good with the ladies. And while that he is, this four-legged lad with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;bubbly, up-swinging personalityâ&#x20AC;? is equally smooth with felines â&#x20AC;&#x201C; given the chance â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and is the catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meow to a stout miniature dachshund named Charlie. For all this and more, Don and Doreen Zimmerman believe three-year-old Willie is an amazing pet, for the right family. Now, they just have to find it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is absolutely gorgeous,â&#x20AC;? Doreen said of Willie, their three-year-old golden retriever. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel very fortunate, but heartbroken at the same time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really quite tragic that we cannot keep him.â&#x20AC;? When the Zimmermans adopted Willie on March 1, 2008, he weighed about 45 pounds and was nearly bald; the result of â&#x20AC;&#x153;benign neglectâ&#x20AC;? by a previous family that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to cope with his multiple idiopathic seizures, and so left him largely alone on a balcony. With the Zimmermans â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who adopted Willie through the Golden Retriever Club of B.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; however, Willie thrived. Under their care, and after several months of experimenting with a regimen of medication and food, Willieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seizures were brought under control. He now has one every five to six weeks, typically between 3 and 5:30 a.m., and lasting about 30 seconds. Last year, he was seizing every two to three weeks. Now â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on occasion and if his medications are administered every 12 hours without fail â&#x20AC;&#x201C; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go up to 12 weeks without a seizure. While he will never be seizure-free, the strict treatment regime that keeps the fits in check is manageable, Doreen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not difficult at all. You just have to do it.â&#x20AC;? The Zimmermans, who have called South Surrey home for about a decade, adopted Willie fully aware of his challenges. They had owned a golden retriever when they lived in Ottawa, and another that died in the fall of 2007, but Willie was the first to require more than the basic pet care every dog needs. The Zimmermans line their kitchen and hallway with rubber mats to help steady Willie as he walks, and, because he is hungry all the time, they keep their counter and table free of any temptations. When he seizures, Willie loses control of

Afterwards, they give him medication to prevent further immediate episodes and ice cream or kibble to replenish his electrolytes. Willieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regime also includes a supplement to support his liver, and he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be alone for more than three or four hours. Doreenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for the breed dates back to her childhood, so despite the complications of his care, the Zimmermans didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to take Willie in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought maybe we would be able to give back to the breed,â&#x20AC;? Doreen said. All was going well until the Zimmermans developed their own health issues. Doreen suffers neuropathic pain in her back and down her right leg that has worsened since surgery last September. She also travels

regularly to Nanaimo to care for her aging mother. On top of those challenges, Don has leukemia, and is often not well himself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life really is a crapshoot and (Willie) deserves better than this,â&#x20AC;? said Doreen. The hunt for a new â&#x20AC;&#x153;forever homeâ&#x20AC;? for Willie has proved challenging. It began last fall, and while several inquiries and visits have been made since â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the latest just last weekend â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one has yet to pan out. Most simply arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prepared to commit to Willieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody that sees him absolutely loves him, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that commitment to having his foods and meds on time,â&#x20AC;? said Wendy Lau, placement co-ordinator with the Golden Retriever Club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have a pretty routine lifestyle, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Lau, who describes Willie as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the closest thing to a Golden Retriever lapdog youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever get,â&#x20AC;? has also asked a Utah organization for suggestions. The Zimmermans, who are willing to help Willieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new family get settled, are prepared to wait as long as it takes to find him the right home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just going to go anywhere,â&#x20AC;? said Doreen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to do this for him.

lifestyles White Rock group celebrates 60 years of philanthropy

Club’s generosity thriving Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

After six decades of donating their time to support the community, the Soroptimist International of White Rock (SIWR) are still going strong. Since the club was first chartered in March of 1950, it has helped support several organizations on the Peninsula, including White Rock Hospice, Alexandra Neighbourhood House, Peace Arch Community Services and Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation. The club was also instrumental in starting the Meals on Wheels program in White Rock. The 60th anniversary milestone is an exciting one for members old and new, according to club president Sarah Rush. “Everyone is really excited,” Rush said. “Even the new members, they didn’t realize they were coming on board with something that’s so solid and has donated so much money in the White Rock area throughout the years.” The mandate of the soroptimists – a coined phrase that means “best for women” – is to improve the lives of women and girls in their own community and around the world. The signature project involving the Peninsula group is ReSTART, a program that provides kits of household items – such as dishes, toiletries, towels and small appliances – to women and families who are starting over after leaving abusive situations. “That’s one of our biggest accomplishments,” Rush said of the program. “It’s something that many of the transition houses rely on now.” The club raises funds

A man who lives in my neighbourhood advertised in the local paper that he did home renovations. He lives in a nice house so I assumed that he was Ànancially stable. He did an estimate and I signed a contract with his company which he called MMX Home Improvements Ltd. It turned out to be a nightmare. He asked me for money in advance for materials, he didn’t show up for weeks, took siding off the house and didn’t replace it and it rained and it soaked through to the house. After six months of delay and unfulÀlled promises, I Àred him. Now I want the money back that I gave him. Can I put a lien against his house until he pays me? No. You do not have a contract with him, but with MMX Home Improvements Ltd., so your remedy is limited to whatever that company owns, which is usually not very much. You do not have any claim against a house registered in his own personal name.

An Update from Your White Rock Firefighters As everybody is aware, the City of White Rock has been conducting a “Core Services Review” of the fire department. They are currently awaiting the results of an independent review of the current service as well as a proposal from the City of Surrey to provide fire protection. Your White Rock Firefighters were made aware of this proposal on Dec. 14, 2009 and since then we’ve been trying to get details from the city about its plan and how it will affect public safety. This is what’s taken place to date: Dec. 14, 2009 meeting with city administrator: -It was confirmed that the City of White Rock had received a proposal from the City of Surrey to provide fire protection in White Rock. (This was denied in council chambers that night after a citizen asked if the city had received a proposal during the public question period!) -It was confirmed that it was a council directive. -It was explained that council’s criteria were no job losses, no reduction in service and that it had to show a substantial savings. -Firefighters provided our ideas on cost savings and asked to be involved in the process. -We learned the city had commissioned an Ipsos-Reid poll and that council expected to vote on the issue in early January. At this point, White Rock Firefighters went public with news of the proposal. Jan, 4, 2010 meeting with city administrator: - Firefighters were told that council had received our request to be involved in the process, as well as the Ipsos-Reid poll, which found city residents ranked the White Rock Fire Department first in terms of city departments with a 93-percent satisfaction rate. - Firefighters were told that the vote was to be made within two weeks and that we were not welcome in any part of the decision making process. - Firefighters informed the city administrator that they were left with no choice but to go door-to-door in order to make the public aware of a plan that would affect public safety levels. During a Jan. 11 council meeting, council heard from a number of concerned citizens. White Rock Firefighters delivered a presentation outlining the negative aspects of contracting out the fire service and delivered one of the largest petitions that the City of White Rock has ever received, with around 5,400 signatures. Within days, council commissioned an independent third party review of the two delivery models. We trust that this taxpayer-funded report will be made public as soon as it’s available. The White Rock Firefighters appreciate the mandate of no job loss in the proposal. But as we’ve explained to members of council and the Mayor, this is not a fight to protect our union territory or our jobs. This is a fight for public safety. It’s not a fight against the Surrey Fire Department, which is a great fire department with a great level of service. We believe information about true impacts on public and fire fighter safety in White Rock need to be made public and, if it’s decided to move forward with contracting out fire protection, the public should be consulted and its wishes respected. Your voice must be heard. We note that similar proposals were denied in previous years because there was a definite reduction in the level of service, and with items such as a “wage top-up” agreement that could keep White Rock taxpayers on the hook for a portion of our wages for many years to come, the savings were never tangibly there. If the current proposal is identical to the past proposals, as the city administrator has indicated, why has the process gotten this far? Your White Rock Firefighters thank you for all your help and support. We urge you to keep this public safety issue at the top of your mind. If the City of White Rock Mayor and Council want to take this any further, please be aware of any dates for public hearings and come out in the name of public safety and support keeping your White Rock Fire Department in the City of White Rock.

More than 155 students lined up across from one another to do battle on the chess board during a recent tournament at Elgin Park Secondary. Sophia Hague photos

Students battle for all King’s men Battles of medieval proportions waged strong at Elgin Park Secondary recently, as students from across the Fraser Valley vied for a shot at competing in next month’s B.C. Chess Challenge. More than 155 students – many of them sporting Olympic colours – converged on the high school Feb. 27 for the Fraser Valley Regional competition, where impressive finishes by Laronde Elementary students secured the school top rank overall. Kindergarten competitors Victor Spassoff, Ronan Drismir, and Paulo Antoni De Souza Moulatlet claimed first, second and third spot, respectively, in their level; Chris Caza

Fresh, shimmering powder. Pristine, untouched corduroy. These perfect conditions aren’t as hard to ﬁnd as one may think. At Sun Peaks Resort in the BC Interior, exclusive access to the snow is granted to lucky skiers and snowboarders twice a week at two unique events. The First Trax Breakfast gets snow seekers up the chairlift before anyone else. Imagine carving the first line down the mountain on a powder day. Participants spend the first hour of the day on the Elevation Chairlift. Rip through the trees, challenge yourself on Bluff, or ski OSV like the Austrians did leading up to their 2010 Olympic races. No lift-lines, no crowds, no tracks marking up the terrain. In between fresh tracks, head to the mid-mountain Sunburst Lodge to fuel up on a hearty breakfast. As the sun sets on Sun Peaks, there’s another

opportunity to indulge both your taste buds and your desire for snow. The Fondue Dinner and Evening Descent begins with a trip up the Sunburst Chairlift to Sunburst Lodge where you are enveloped into a cozy, intimate evening. Chat with friends, old and new, as you dine on a delightful fondue dinner and decadent chocolate fondue dessert. Then get set for an exhilarating trip down the torch lit slopes of Tod Mountain. With a headlamp and a guide leading the way, feel the ripple of fresh corduroy under your skis as you carve your way home under the stars on the 5 Mile ski run. It’s all about you during the First Trax Breakfast and Fondue Dinner and Evening Descent. Cherish the moment, pick your line, and make your mark on Sun Peaks Resort.

She remembers sitting on the floor listening to her grandfather and father tell tales in Cree of Wesakechak, the trickster and the Great Spirit. “Because I understood the language, I’d sit there for hours,” says Eustergerling, who lives in Burnaby. “It was just a way of life.

Besides regaling her grandkids and great-grandkids with stories about the Raven and Athusmit, the son of deer, she leads storytelling sessions at First Nations centres, and hopes to captivate audiences throughout the Fraser Valley during the Festival of Aboriginal Artists this month. Eustergerling also peppers her tales with music she learned while singing with a band started by her uncles called the Wuttunee Orchestra. She likes to have kids and adults drum along and keep the beat with rattles. “I think it’s important to keep these teachings,” says Eustergerling. “I feel privileged to have known the elders,” she adds. Hosted by the Fraser Valley Regional Library, the month-long festival will feature eight Aboriginal artists from a variety of disciplines who will showcase their talents and cultures through 17 performances and workshops. The artists will share their culture through music, dance, storytelling, crafts and art workshops. “These performances are a way to

honour Aboriginal culture and help provide valuable links between our library systems and the Aboriginal community,” says Mary Murphy, manager of learning services at the Surrey Public Library. “The artists act as a link between Aboriginal and nonaboriginal peoples to promote intercultural understanding and communication.” Q Aboriginal storyteller Amy Eustergerling will present a special program of stories and music at the Maple Ridge library on Saturday, March 13 from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. She will also be at the Cloverdale library, 5642 176A St., from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The festival also features two Maple Ridge artist Quentin Harris, who will be conducting a drawing workshop at the White Rock Library this Saturday.

Maddison Chow won bronze in the 200-m individual medley, while Olyvvia Chow, 15, placed third in the 200-m breaststroke. Fry won silver in 50-m free and Lin scooped gold in the 200-m breast, silver in 100- and 200-m back, 100-m free and both the 200and 400-m IM, and bronze in the 50-m free and 100-m breast. Emma Mittermaier, 15, won gold in 100-m fly; Esmee Smit-Anseeuw,

11, won three bronze – in 200-m IM, 200-m breast and 200-m fly; and Xu also scored a bronze medal, in 100-m breast. Rounding out the individual medal haul was Yuan, who captured gold in the 50- and 100-m free, 100-m fly, 200-m IM and 100-m breast. He was second in the 200- and 400-m free, and the 200-m fly. The Sea Wolves, who sent 23 swimmers to the meet, finished fourth overall, which Dingey called “a huge accomplishment.” They placed just 17 points back of the third-place Vancouver Pacific Swim Club, which sent more than 60 swimmers to the meet. “It was a fantastic swim meet for our kids, especially our younger swimmers,” Dingey said.

Murphy-Burke earns spot on Canada’s U17 roster Nick Greenizan

presents the

‘FOREVER MARRIAGE’ PROGRAM For pre-engaged and engaged couples

Sports Reporter

The accolades keep piling up for Peninsula rugby star Liam Murphy-Burke. Already a key member of the Bayside Sharks’ U16 team that won a provincial title last spring and the Team B.C. side that won nationals last summer, MurphyBurke added a third team to his resume, when he was named to Canada’s U17 national team. “I’m really excited. It’s going to be really good rugby (at that level),” he said. Murphy-Burke suited up for Canada’s U17 development team in January, when the national squad played an exhibition tilt against a team of Fraser Valley all-stars at South Surrey Athletic Park. His play with the development team earned him the promotion to the top squad. “I thought I’d played pretty well with the development team, but it’s still always a shock when you hear news like that,” said the Semiahmoo Secondary multisport star, who also plays basketball and volleyball. Murphy-Burke, who plays fullback and wing with the national team, learned of his national team selection two weeks ago, via email.

Liam Murphy-Burke (right) suited up for Canada in South Surrey, when the national U17 development team played an exhibition tilt. “They were sending out personalized emails to each of the guys who’d made the team, and I’d heard from a few guys who received emails on Thursday or Friday, and I didn’t get a message until Sunday,” he said. “So I was pretty prepared not to make the team, actually.” Murphy-Burke leaves with the

WERE THE “GOOD OLD DAYS”

some kind of mythical bygone age? Yes and no. But let us for the moment consider the best parts, ones that actually existed. When neighbours were friends and neighbourhoods weren’t rows of houses that hid their occupants behind windshields and automatic garage doors. They were streets with shops and markets and dare we say it, pubs. Where the distance between doctor, bank, pharmacy and the hair salon (or in that age, barber) was measured in footsteps. Those days even had a different future. One where labour saving devices would ﬁll us with time and leisure. But do a freezer and a microwave make a better breakfast? Does a conversation on Youbook or Facetube offer the fulﬁllment of a coffee with a bunch of actual friends? Is it that we have less time for life, or less life for the time? Why is it

that in those days they never saw the need to go on a diet? Certainly the food choices were more limited and probably fattier. But the act of walking around a nice neighbourhood, if only to pick up a last-minute item, was a built-in, everyday calorie burner. Now, add a little modern world to our miles of biking and walking trails in the form of a Steve Nash Sports Club and you don’t just have a healthier lifestyle, you have a healthy life. Today you might call Morgan Crossing a vibrant walkable community where you can have more fun, more time and more excitement with less driving. Or as they used to call it, a good place to live. So come down and visit us. You might observe a distant memory of a past life in the scent of baking in the air or the relaxed vibe of the residents. But one thing you’re sure to see at Morgan Crossing is the good old days, in the present tense.

Sharks tank on trip to Island Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Riding high after two straight wins – which brought their winloss record back to .500 – the Bayside Sharks premier men’s team was brought back down to earth Saturday after a big 71-14 loss on the road to undefeated James Bay. The Sharks, who made the trip to Victoria undermanned due to injuries and unavailable players, did not get off to a strong start against the first-place James Bay side. In the opening minute, after an ill-advised kick by the Sharks, James Bay’s fullback scooped up the ball, charged a disorganized Bayside defence and scored a try,

which was converted. Five minutes later, they scored again to make it 14-0. Down by two majors, Bayside bounced back with a try from flanker Cass Conkin, who barreled across the line to make it 14-7, but it was as close as the Peninsula visitors would get. The teams traded tries later in the first half – Shawn Pittman scored for the Sharks – and in the second half, James Bay dominated. In the second, James Bay scored six tries – converting four of them. With a 2-3 record, the Sharks now sit in a fifth-place tie, with Velox, in the CDI Premier Rugby

League standings. This weekend, the Sharks travel to Vancouver’s Brockton Oval for a tilt against the Vancouver Rowing Club. The Sharks’ first division team fared no better against James Bay, losing 81-10. “It was one-way traffic all day,” wrote Bayside assistant coach Chris Veslemes in an email, referring to the flow of the play, which was controlled by the home team. The second-division Sharks did not make the trip to Vancouver Island Saturday, and instead stayed at home, where they laid a 59-12 beating on visiting Richmond.

Pair of runners win at masters meet A four-woman relay team – including one Peninsula athlete – set a new world masters record earlier this month, at the World Masters Indoor Athletics Championships in Kamloops. In the women’s age80-plus 4x200-metre dash, the relay team of South Surrey’s Louise Sorensen, Sooke’s Hildegard Bushhaus, Terrace’s Leona Smith and West Vancouver’s Olga Kotelko, finished first in a record-setting time of four minutes, 15.33 seconds. Sorensen also finished fourth in the 200-m and fifth in the 60-m. A second Peninsula resident, White Rock’s Ruth Carrier, 79, scooped three medals. She was first in the 3,000-m race-walk, and also took gold as part of Canada’s women’s 70to 99-year-old 4x200-m relay team. She added a silver to her haul in the 200-m, finishing in 51.67 seconds. More than 1,400 athletes – all 35-yearsold and up – from 64 countries took part in the event, which ran March 1-6. Canada finished second in the medal count, with 281 medals, second to the United States, which counted 326.

DON, James Alfred Jim was born in Vancouver on January 27, 1928 and passed away peacefully in White Rock on March 5, 2010 with his family at his side. He is survived by Muriel, his loving wife of 58 years, three children, Kathy Smith (Kendall), Jim (Lisa) and Kelly, and ﬁve grandchildren, Lisette, Leila, Michael, Adam and Brendan. He is also survived by three brothers, William, Alan, and Ian, his sister Jean, and numerous nieces and nephews. Jim graduated from UBC, Faculty of Engineering, and had an interesting and challenging career in the petroleum industry in Sarnia, Ontario, Houston, Texas, and Fort McMurray, Alberta. In his younger days he enjoyed golf, curling and singing in a church choral group. After retirement, he continued his love of music through his participation in a local choir, and he and Muriel enjoyed travelling, gardening and playing bridge. The family would like to express appreciation to the care given to him at Evergreen Baptist Care Home for the past three years. No service by request. Cremation. Friends are invited to an informal gathering at the family home on Saturday, March 20, 2010 between 2:00 and 5:00 p.m. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations, if desired, may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or to the charity of your choice.

The family bids farewell to our beloved David, who passed away in Victoria on February 15, 2010 at the age of 43 years. David was born in Regina where he attended elementary, high school and the U of R. He also spent many summers with his grandparents in the Moosomin SK area. He worked in the building trades in Calgary before following his father Alex and stepmother Sharon to White Rock fifteen years ago, where he operated a home renovation business for several years. David had more recently called Victoria home for the past three years. He loved cooking, camping and fishing and meeting up with family in Maui, Alberta and Moosomin Lake. He had a real zest for life and was always quick with a smile. David had been diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes in his late 20's, after having been a healthy young man. Despite his serious health issues, David never complained or felt sorry for himself as he endured poor eyesight, chronic pain or limited mobility, enjoying life to the fullest extent possible. His ability to rally from one health crisis to another earned him the nickname "Energizer Bunny". His joy in the last few weeks of his life was to be home with his soul mate and excellent caregiver Tracy and to be surrounded by his immediate family, as they visited with him and cooked his favorite meals. He was a wonderful son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend who is greatly missed. David is survived by his partner Tracy Fraser and her family of Victoria and White Rock, his father Alex of St. Petersburg FL, his mother Shirley Anderson, step father Bob Spaetgens, sister Jaclynn Spaetgens, all of Calgary; sister Wenda (Les) Dunn and children Myles and Margaux of Medicine Hat AB; step brother Clint (Michelle) McLean and children of Regina; step sister Holly McLean and children of Langley; and his best friend Bill Honey and family of Victoria. David's step mother Sharon Young recently passed away on January 12, 2010. He is also predeceased by his grandparents Albert and Rose Young and Alvin and Ellen Anderson of Moosomin. A private service was held in Victoria on Feb. 15, 2010 and will be followed by internment at St. Peter’s Spring Creek Cemetery near Moosomin in July 2010. In lieu of flowers, voluntary donations can be made to the Canadian Diabetes Society. The family also invite friends to contribute to the Regina Leader Post guestbook at http://www.legacy.com/gb2/default.aspx?bookid=5905720387346
